In a village at the foot of Wuyi Mountain, the smoke of the cooking stove slowly rises, and the setting sun exudes its last little residual heat.

"Rain, rain!"

Ye Shiyu lay on the thatched bed, rubbed his head, and responded, "It's here!"

An honest farmer was putting down the chopped firewood outside a thatched house, he wiped the sweat on his forehead, and looked at Ye Shiyu who came out of the house, his eyes were full of love.

"Daddy, you're back, hungry or not, I'll cook for you. ”

"Don't be hungry, look at what I brought back to you, Daddy!"

Ye Cheng took out a small sugar man from his back belt and waved it in front of Ye Shiyu. Ye Cheng had just passed by Qinghe Town, which was a mile away from the village, and thought of the last time Ye Shiyu saw Wang Dayou from the next door eating, and he was drooling on the side, so he took out the money he earned from selling firewood today and bought a candy man.

When Ye Shiyu saw the sugar man, he shouted in surprise: "Sugar man! Dad, why did you buy the sugar man!?"

Ye Cheng saw Ye Shiyu's happy appearance, touched his head dotingly and said, "Eat it quickly, it will melt later." ”

Ye Shiyu stretched out his tongue and licked the sugar man, the taste was very sweet, but Ye Shiyu was a little bitter in his heart.

"What's wrong?, isn't the sugar man delicious?" Seeing the bitter look in Ye Shiyu's eyes, Ye Cheng put down the wooden bucket in his hand that was just about to fetch water and asked.

Ye Shiyu shook his head and said, "The sugar man is delicious, but Dad, you can't spend this unjust money next time, save the money for the sugar man, how good it is." ”

"Hahahaha, you kid, don't worry, dad has money, eat quickly, I'll cook." After hearing this, Ye Cheng said with a laugh.

Although Ye Cheng said so, Ye Shiyu really didn't taste like eating this sugar man.

Ye Shiyu is an orphan, he was picked up by Ye Cheng since he was a child, it happened to be the spring equinox that day, and it was raining heavily when Ye Cheng picked him up, so Ye Cheng named him Ye Shiyu.

"Ye Shiyu, Ye Shiyu!" Ye Shiyu thought back and heard someone calling him outside, he looked up and saw that it was Wang Da, the son of Aunt Wang of the family next door, and Li Xiao, the daughter of Widow Li's family.

Ye Shiyu walked outside and said, "Why are you here?"

"Come and play with you, wow!Sugar Man!" Wang Da shouted when he saw the sugar man in Ye Shiyu's hand, and couldn't help licking his lips.

Ye Shiyu saw Wang Da looking at his sugar man, put the sugar man behind him, and said, "This is what my father bought for me! Don't even think about it!"

Seeing Ye Shiyu say that, Wang Da had no choice but to withdraw his eyes and say, "Hmph, I won't rob you, if I want to eat, my mother will buy it for me every day!"

"Okay, okay, I said that I came to Ye Shiyu to play, why did I still make trouble. Li Xiao was the oldest among the three, and when he saw that Ye Shiyu was trying to refute something, he immediately stood up and made peace.

"You came to play with me, but the meal at home is not ready, and I may not be able to get out. Ye Shiyu glanced at Ye Cheng's direction, Ye Cheng was burning the fire.

I saw Wang Da running in front of Ye Cheng, pulling Ye Cheng and saying, "Uncle Cheng, we want to go out with Ye Shiyu and let him come back for dinner in a while, do you think it's okay?"

Ye Cheng glanced at Ye Shiyu, who was licking the candy man, and said to Ye Shiyu with a smile: "Shiyu, people are coming to look for you, then you can go out to play, anyway, the meal is not so fast, but remember to come back to eat when it gets dark." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Cheng!" Before Ye Shiyu could answer, Wang Da and Li Xiao spoke.

In this way, the three children walked all the way to the creek at the back of the village. Ye Shiyu finished eating the last bite of candy and said, "Hmm, why do you suddenly want to come and play with me?"

Wang Da said angrily: "Usually a few of us look for you, you are either sleeping or reading, you are the least lively in our group of children." ”

"That's why I pulled you out with Wang Da to play, you see how clear the water here is, how cheerful the fish swim, aren't these better than you always read those books?" Li Xiao pulled Ye Shiyu and pointed at the fish in the creek.

Ye Shiyu shook his head and said, "Sister Xiao, my father said that a man should read more books, so that he can gain a reputation in the future, and the lintel of the vast number of people." ”

"Uncle Cheng said so, did you do this? Aren't you brainless?" Li Xiao looked at Ye Shiyu with an unenlightened look from you.

Ye Shiyu didn't answer again, but looked at the sunset on the horizon. In addition to reading, his body is also a little, his body is always unable to exert his strength, and he is not like Wang Da who walks like a fly, and runs like a tiger descending a mountain.

The sky was getting dark, Ye Shiyu estimated that Ye Cheng's dinner was almost done, and said, "I should go back, otherwise my father will be worried again in a while." ”

"Well, let's go back. Li Xiao stood up and patted the soil on her buttocks.

Wang Da stood up, felt that his mouth was a little dry, and wanted to go to the stream to drink some water. Wang Da took a handful of stream water with his hand, but this handful made Wang Da shout: "Mom!"

Ye Shiyu and the others heard the loud shout of the king behind them, and hurriedly turned around to investigate, but both of them were frightened by the scene in front of them.

The turquoise surface of the stream, which was originally crystal clear in front of me, was dyed blood-red, and it flowed down from the blood-red stream from above.

"It's ..... Blood!" Li Xiao picked up the stream and sniffed.

At the same time, the three of them looked upstream, Ye Shiyu looked at it, and found that there was a black thing stuck in the drop of the upstream port by a stone, and he said: "Look, what is that thing on it!"

The three of them went upstream, found a log nearby, and together they slowly pulled the black thing closer.

The closer they got closer, the three of them also realized that it was like the same thing, like a person. When you look closely, you can definitely see a person, a masked man in black.

Pulling the man in black to the stream, the three of them turned him over, and instantly the three of them felt like vomiting.

The man in black was masked, but at the same time, a large hole was broken in his chest, and all the intestines and livers in it were exposed, and with the erosion and friction of the stream, some of them had been ground into a little flesh and blood.

Seeing such a scene, the three of them turned around and vomited under the tree, almost throwing up bile.

"This man is a dead man!" cried the king.

Ye Shiyu held back his disgust and said, "It's still a dead man with blurred flesh and blood." ”

Li Xiao, the oldest, was the first to calm down and said, "But how can there be dead people in our village?"

Ye Shiyu endured his nausea, looked at the appearance of the man in black, and ripped off his face towel, under which was an unwilling face. Ye Shiyu turned his head and said without daring to look at it anymore: "This shouldn't be from this village." ”

At this time, in the woods in the direction of the village, countless birds flew up, and under the gradually dark night sky, the skylight of the fire reflected the entire sky.

"Look, firelight! that's the direction of the village!" Wang Da was the first to notice, and then shouted.

Ye Shiyu and the others also saw the firelight, and the three of them ran desperately in the direction of the village.

In the village, which was originally a paradise, tonight it has become a Shura purgatory, and the sounds of fighting, wailing, and screaming resounded in the sky.

In Ye Shiyu's house, Ye Cheng looked at the black-clothed man in front of him with a firewood knife, if Ye Shiyu was here, he would definitely cry out in surprise, because Ye Cheng was very cold in front of him, and the whole person was standing here, but it made people feel that he didn't exist.

"Old Cheng, it's been a long time. The man in black in the lead looked at Ye Cheng in front of him and spoke.

Ye Cheng looked at the man in black in front of him, tightened the firewood knife in his hand, and replied, "It's been a long time, Xiao Gao." ”

Xiao Gao looked at the vigilant Ye Cheng in front of him and sneered: "You should know the purpose of my coming this time, right?"

"It seems that I killed the black-clad feather guard, but I still haven't escaped your eyes. Ye Cheng squinted his eyes and said.

"Do you think that little trick of yours can get past my eyes? As a member of the Holy Cult, have you forgotten your oath?"

"I haven't forgotten, but the Black-Cloaked Sect shouldn't exist in the world!"

"You are presumptuous! Ye Cheng! Do you still have the belief to be a member of the Holy Sect! Dare to slander the Holy Sect!"

"For the sake of a Red Blood Demon Knife, I destroyed seven families, eight factions and eleven gangs, can this also be regarded as a holy sect?"

When Ye Cheng said this, his tone was full of emotion, for the sake of a legendary blade, he destroyed all people, which was no longer the same as the black-clothed sect he believed in at the beginning.

Xiao Gao pointed at Ye Cheng with his sword and said, "You don't give me crooked here, I'll ask you today, do you hand over the Red Blood Demon Knife or not!"

"I don't have any Red Blood Demon Blade, and what you're looking for isn't here. Ye Cheng said indifferently.

"Hmph, when I catch you, I'll know it's gone!" Xiao Gao said with a surge of momentum.

Ye Cheng held the firewood knife in his hand, looked at the firelight outside, listened to the screams coming from all around, and his eyes were full of confusion: "You slaughter living beings for a knife, it is really intolerable!"

After finishing speaking, Ye Cheng rushed up with a firewood knife in his hand and fought with Xiao Gao.

Xiao Gao blocked Ye Cheng's knife with a sword, his internal force was violently raised, and a sword shook Ye Cheng away, and said disdainfully: "The black-clothed killer who killed people like hemp at the beginning would say such a thing now, heh, the weak eat the strong, the fittest survive! Who let them have a good neighbor like you! So, they are unlucky." ”

When the words fell, Xiao Gao held the sword, attacked Ye Cheng, lifted the internal force, and added it to the sword body.

Ye Cheng raised his knife to block it, but found that Xiao Gao's sword was infinitely powerful, and secretly used his skill to unload it. The two sides were fighting, but Ye Cheng felt that the other party's internal force was even more turbulent than seven or eight years ago, and it was difficult to parry.

"You've gotten stronger, Kodaka. ”

"It's not that I've become stronger, it's that you've become weaker, so you still dare to talk big in front of me, and die!

As soon as the words fell, Xiao Gao's internal force urged with all his strength, and his figure was divided into four parts, making it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood!

Seeing this, Ye Cheng took defense as an attack, stood firmly in it, and waved the firewood knife in his hand: "The knife opens the Quartet!"

"Hmph, you don't need the Holy Sect Martial Arts, are you looking down on me!"

"Since he has apostasy, he is not a person of the Black-clothed Sect, how can he use the martial arts of the Black-clothed Sect again. ”

"Then die!"

When the two were talking, they had already exchanged dozens of moves, and Xiao Gao's four figures were constantly attacking Ye Cheng, false and real, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Ye Cheng held the firewood knife in his hand, as steady as Hua Yue, blocking the next wave of offsets.

At this moment, a childish child's voice came, breaking Ye Cheng's defense.

"Daddy!" Ye Shiyu's immature voice came from outside the door.
