Chapter 614: Wooden Head
Zhao Rui's ruthlessness and disregard for human life exceeded ordinary people's expectations.
The game he does is to play with human life.
It was precisely because he saw this Zhao Rui's ruthlessness that Li Xiuyuan did not secretly resolve Hao Zhao's catastrophe, but walked into the post station in person.
He couldn't help but make a move.
Li Xiuyuan said: "As the prince said, if the poor Dao loses, the poor Dao personally takes off these five heads and gives them to the prince, then please ask the prince to solve the question." ”
"Then play the king's best hunting game, the king remembers that there is a village near here, the king brought a bow and arrows, rode over, and shot when he saw people, and in the end we beat whoever shot more people to death, whoever wins, how?" Zhao Rui said.
Hao Zhao was stunned when he heard this, he trembled and said: "Dao Chief, this person is a madman, you must not bet with him, he is a madman......"
"Yes, that's right, but what should I do if Poor Dao has already promised?"
Li Xiuyuan said helplessly, and then with a flick of his hand, a sword flew out and instantly slashed across Hao Zhao's neck.
"Gollum...."A big head rolled off his neck.
"Huh?" Zhao Rui stood up in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "The wisdom of the prince is outstanding, but it's a pity that the heart is too vicious, how dare you play this game, if you win the prince, wouldn't you want to die a village, in order to avoid a village being killed, the poor road had to admit defeat, since the poor road admits defeat, then the poor road is willing to gamble."
Lose. The prince is not in a hurry, a few heads are poor, and this will be sent to the prince. ”
After speaking, he strode over, picked up the sword and cut it off at Hao's neck, and rolled down another head.
Then he went to the side of Mrs. Hao and the old woman, and cut off their heads in turn, and then the baby's head, and then lifted the five bloody heads in turn and laid them on the table.
This scene watched the other people's hearts beat with horror, and their scalps tingled.
What a vicious Taoist, cutting off people's heads and not blinking their eyelids, is this still a cultivator? It can't be a monster change, right?
"Lord Wang, these are the five heads you want. Li Xiuyuan's sword was stained with blood, and he pointed to the five heads.
"Hahahaha, you are a Taoist, you are even more ruthless than this king. Zhao Rui laughed when he saw this.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Since the game is over, then Poor Dao will leave, but today Poor Dao lost to the prince and felt unwilling in his heart, and let Poor Dao for a while, and after a while, Poor Dao will come to Wang Ye to play a game, and then Poor Dao will definitely win the prince." ”
"Yes, well, this king is waiting for you. Zhao Rui said.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said nothing, with a bit of murderous intent in his eyes.
Hao Zhao didn't dare to kill the king, he dared.
This Zhao Rui's ruthlessness has surpassed the snake and scorpion, overshadowed the tiger and wolf, and he didn't know how many people he would murder in the world, how could he let go of such a wicked person.
It's just that it's not the right time, so he gave up his hands and turned around and left without saying much.
As soon as he walked out of the station, his figure disappeared into the night.
"Happy, happy, this king is having a great time today, and this king is going to sleep. Zhao Rui smiled while stretching his waist, yawning with a satisfied face and turning back to the room.
At this moment.
Hao Zhao felt dazed.
He clearly remembered that he was in the post station, and his parents and children were caught by the dog officer, and at this time a Taoist walked in to make a bet with the dog officer for himself.
I tried to stop it, but then I felt like my head had been cut off by a sword, and then I was dizzy, and I couldn't remember what happened next.
And now he felt the sound of the wind blowing in his ears.
I felt that my feet seemed to be stepping on the clouds, and there was no sense of steadiness, and the whole thing was light and fluttering, as if I had become a soul and turned into a ghost.
Am I already dead?
He tried his best to move his hands and feet, but found that he was holding a person's hand in his hand.
That person seems to be his wife.....
I wanted to open my eyes to see what was going on, but I couldn't open them anyway.
"It's here. ”
A voice sounded beside him, as if it was the same person from before.
Then Hao Zhao felt that his feet had landed, his body didn't seem to be floating in the air, and his mind gradually regained his clarity.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was already at the door.
And next to it is really his wife.
"Am I already dead? Now I have become a ghost and returned home?" Hao Zhao touched his neck, but he didn't feel the wound.
Li Xiuyuan said slowly: "You didn't die, you just cheated to death just now, you see." ”
After saying that, he pointed to the ground, and immediately a clear spring appeared on the ground, forming a pool of stagnant water.
The ponding water reflects the picture of the post station.
But I saw that the post station was dripping with blood, five corpses fell to the ground, and five heads were placed on the table, which were the heads of Hao Zhao's family.
"This, what's going on......"
Hao Zhao was shocked, and was startled when he saw his parents, wife and children, as well as his head on it.
Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "Poor Dao lost the bet, and if you want to lose the bet, you naturally have to take off your head and give it to this prince, but it's not a real head, it's just five wooden heads, and Poor Dao used some tricks to make them believe it, so this Zhao Rui thinks you are all dead."
I won't be looking for trouble with you, and you can see ..... again."
The picture of the Xuanguang Technique changed, but I saw that the five bloody heads on the table were still heads at the moment, but they had already turned into five wooden heads.
It's just that the wooden head is carved lifelike, and the hair and facial features are like living people, and the appearance is exactly the same as the appearance of his own family.
"Your parents, the children are now at home waiting for you to go back, you go home, and the poor road has not finished what needs to be done, so take your leave. ”
After saying that, he didn't stop, turned around and left.
Halfway through the aisle, he suddenly said: "By the way, for the sake of safety, Poor Dao still recommends that you leave this county and live elsewhere, Poor Dao sees that your martial arts are extraordinary, and if you join the army, you will definitely be able to get ahead, but you must be very disgusted with this court now, these palace nobles, serve them a lot."
Half of it is unwilling, but recently the Li family in Jinling City is recruiting private troops, you can go and see, if you don't want to, go and become a dart master, although it is dangerous, but your livelihood is not a problem, and there is no danger with your martial arts. If someone asks who asked you to go, say it's Li Xiu
Far from letting you go. ”
With that, he strode into the darkness and quickly disappeared.
He didn't have anything to do with Hao Zhao, he just drew a knife to help him when he saw injustice.
If he didn't come to the rescue and give Hao Zhao a hope to live, then the family would not be able to escape today.
This is a matter of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, and Li Xiuyuan will not refuse.
As for the tragedy that has already happened, then there is no way for him to change it.
and persuaded him to join the Li family's private army or a dart master.
Li Xiuyuan purely didn't want to waste his grandmaster-level martial arts, of course, he also had a little selfishness, and he had a bit of a sense of solicitation, but it was undeniable that the path he pointed out was a living road, whether it was joining the army or a dart master, it was not a problem to support his family.
Before Hao Zhao could recover from his previous surprise, he had already seen this person leave.
He was stunned for a moment.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, but he saw Hao Taigong coming over with the lamp, and when he saw Hao Zhao and his daughter-in-law coming back, he said happily: "Is Xiao'er back?
People are really immortal figures, they accumulate virtue and do good deeds for their fathers in vain, and they gave the big jujube tree at home to the Taoist chief. ”
"Come in quickly, what are you doing there, it's cold outside, beware of the cold. ”
Under the urging of Hao Taigong, Hao Zhao took Hao into the house a little at a loss.
Looking at the familiar home, the old father at home was still there, and the old mother was also awakened, and there seemed to be a child's cry in the house.
Hao Zhao's heart was like knocking over a five-flavor bottle, and thousands of tastes came to his heart, and this thick man couldn't help but cry.
"Old woman, look, I'll just say that the chief is a fairy, isn't the child back well? Mrs. Hao stroked his beard and smiled: "This is a good reward for our family's accumulation of virtue." ”
Hao Zhao silently wiped his tears and asked his father about the day.
The father roughly talked about the daytime, and then sighed: "That person is really a merciful and good person, in order to save someone else's family of five, he went around the city several times, and finally took a fancy to the jujube tree in our family, saying that it was used to save people, and my father felt that a jujube tree was more important than five lives
If so, give it to the Taoist. Drink, that person made a good spell, such a big tree sword was cut off with a wave, pointed to the fallen tree and shouted a few words, guess what?"
"It became smaller, and it became a small sapling. ”
Hao Taigong's eyebrows fluttered, and the stars flew wildly: "At my father's age, it's the first time I've seen a living immortal." ”
Hao Zhao's heart sank, thinking of the five wooden people who had been cut off in the inn, and then thinking of the family of five that the Taoist chief said.
When the Taoist said that he wanted to save five people, he was referring to his own family, could it be that the Taoist had already calculated his own calamity today?
As for the jujube tree that was cut down, it should have been turned into five wooden statues, and they died for their family of five.
"Thank you, Chief, for saving your life. ”
Hao Zhao came to his senses, turned around and knelt down in the direction Li Xiuyuan left at this moment, and kowtowed a few times in gratitude.
"Father, parents, today's things will not be clear to the children for a while, and please ask your parents to clean up overnight, we will leave here early tomorrow morning, as soon as the county opens......" After kowtowing, Hao Zhao stood up, wiped his tears and said.
"What's going on? Something's going on. ”
Hao Zhao said: "The child killed someone outside and committed a murder, he can't stay here, he must leave here." ”
Mrs. Hao and his wife were shocked, and their faces turned white with fright.
For ordinary people, killing is a matter of human life.
"But, but here, where are you going to drag your family for a while?"
Hao Zhao said: "Go to Jinling City, where you can live, it is the Taoist chief who said. ”
