Chapter 37 Destroying Villages and Destroying Clans

"The fifth generation great-grandson of the old man took the red fox treasure box to follow Taizu to fight in the south and the north, accumulating miraculous feats, and after the world was pacified, he refused Taizu's repeated retention, and returned to Taoyuan Village with the treasure box.

"According to the instructions of Emperor Taizu, the Yuntian brothers built the 'Murong Villa' twenty miles away from Taoyuan Village to secretly protect the treasure box from outsiders. Thinking about it later, Taizu had the intention of monitoring Taoyuan Village's every move at that time. Since the Red Fox Treasure Crate has such magical power, if it is obtained by others, wouldn't the country that had been defeated with great difficulty change hands again? Therefore, it is reasonable for Taizu to do this secretly. ā€

Xiao Ma and Murong Yuxin looked at each other, they couldn't imagine that the background of the creation of Murong Villa was like this, what they saw and heard tonight was really unexpected. Many things have gone far beyond their guesses.

Xiao Ma frowned slightly, and said to the old man Wuwei: "Even so, what is the matter with the blood debt and blood repayment that the predecessor said?"

The hand of the old man Wuwei holding the dry tobacco bag involuntarily trembled slightly, and the expression on his face was remorse, guilt, self-blame and sadness.

After a long time, he said slowly: "'The bird hides the bow, the rabbit dies and the dog cooks', it has been the same for all ages." After the world was pacified, on the one hand, some generals and ministers believed that they were the founding fathers of the country, and gradually became arrogant and lawless, on the other hand, Taizu's suspicion became increasingly serious, and he was deeply afraid that the ministers would have the intention of usurping power and seizing the throne, and slowly became cruel and easy to kill. ā€

"In the spring of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, because of the rebellion of Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, Taizu was executed on charges of 'perverting the law and slandering the virtuous' and 'harming politics', and a large number of generals such as the Korean Gong Li Shanchang were implicated, with a total of more than 30,000 dead. ā€

Under Long Yan's fury, any bit of wind and gossip could lead to death. ā€

"It is in such an environment that one day, Taizu received a secret report that the descendants of Zhurong, who helped him seize the world, had frequent contact with Chen Youliang and Fang Guozhen's remnants, intending to subvert the world. ā€

"I will never forget the tragic scene of that day in my life, Taoyuan Village, which has no quarrel with the world and is quiet and quiet, has become a hell on earth, crying and wailing one after another, the severed head and body are all over the place, the blood stains the green lake, and the tears splash the green mountains. The wind of that day was full of blood, the heavens and the earth were filled with blood mist, the mountains mourned silently, the streams whimpered, the plants and trees were sad, and the birds and beasts lost their voices. ā€

"We have been happy to kill people and set fires, we have punished the strong and helped the weak, exterminated the evil and eliminated the evil, and we have galloped across the battlefield to destroy countless enemies...... This time, however, he was faced with simple and kind old men, unarmed women, innocent children, and young men who fought with hoes, kitchen knives, flat poles, and even spatulas to protect their homes. We cover our faces, our hands rise and fall, our hands rise and fall, and our hands fall ......"

"The dull sound of swords slashing against bones thundered like a drum in our hearts, and the innocent lives that fell one after another shook our souls. The gushing blood splashed on the body was like an imprint unforgettable, becoming clearer and clearer in the flow of years, torturing our conscience all the time. ā€

"The old man who led us to obtain the red fox treasure box knelt in front of the ancestral hall with tears, beat his chest and said that he had no eyes and no beads, and mistook the jackal for Mingjun, so that he caused the disaster of extermination, and it was really difficult to escape the blame for death, and he had no shame to face the ancestors and ancestors. I hope that the heavens will open their eyes, so that these demons who have lost their conscience will pay for their blood debts and blood, and they will never be able to live beyond their lives...... cried so sadly, he couldn't get up in one breath, and he was so desperate. ā€

That day, more than 1,700 people from more than 300 households in the village were killed, and no chickens and dogs were left, and the last fire burned the entire village to ashes. All the descendants of the god of fire were annihilated in the sea of fire. ā€

After the old man Wuwei finished speaking, two lines of turbid tears fell into the smoke pot, sizzling, rising bursts of white smoke, ethereal and swaying.

The four ponies were all pale and sad at the thought of that terrible scene.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. If the Son of Heaven says anything at will, how many people will be in different places, and their families will be ruined.

After a while, the pony seemed to remember something, and asked, "Did the red fox crate disappear later?"

The old man Wuwei shook his head and said, "In order to prevent someone from escaping, we arranged for two brothers, Murong Yuntian and Ma Rulong, to guard at the intersection of the village and the entrance of the cave respectively, and some of the people who tried to escape from the village became the souls of the Yuntian brothers. But the young patriarch who followed Taizu with the treasure box to fight the world let the Ma brothers put them in the cave, and the patriarch triggered the mechanism inside to block the entrance, and we had nothing to do, so we used ammunition to blow up the rocks and bury the cave entrance, and the patriarch and the red fox treasure box were trapped in the cave forever. ā€

"Emperor Taizu was angry with Brother Ma because of this, and although we pleaded hard, we still executed him on the charge of 'conspiring with the enemy and treason'. ā€

"After the incident in Taoyuan Village and the death of Brother Ma, we found that Emperor Taizu was no longer the Ming Jun who loved the people like a son and took saving the lives of the world as his own responsibility, and gradually retreated. ā€

"At that time, Emperor Taizu had already changed the pro-military governor's mansion in charge of the emperor's Praetorian Guard into Jinyiwei, and established a new military secret agency, which had many privileges such as reconnaissance, arrest, trial and punishment on the surface, among which the name 'inspection school' was a spy who collected intelligence. Moreover, the new generation of Red Fox Guards has also been slowly cultivated, and we don't rely so much on us, so half a year later, except for your stepfather and Ghost Sorrow, who are still doing things for the organization, we have all retired one after another, and went to the north and south, everywhere, for more than 20 years, we have only seen each other a few times. ā€

"This time, the Yuntian brothers sent a letter to invite, and we came happily, firstly, because he said that there was something important to interview, and secondly, I also thought that there was not much time left, and it would be good for the brothers to meet, who would have expected that it would be such a reunion of life and death. ā€

The night is deep, the dew is heavy and the fog is thick, floating on the surface of the lake, lingering in the forest, the surroundings are hazy and wet, and the clothes are penetrating into the bosom, which makes people feel very cold.

The old man Wuwei looked at the warmth and said to the pony: "Since Brother Wuya asked Wen Xian's nephew to come to Murong Villa, he must not come, your father-in-law and the ghost are in the organization, and it is still inconclusive whether to come or not, but the 'Divine Sword' Meng Yishan, the 'Sword Saint' Situ Ao and the 'Tempest' are really incomprehensible." ā€

Pony said, "Maybe they weren't at home and didn't receive the letter, or maybe they saw the letter later, and they didn't arrive for a while." ā€

The old man Wuwei said: "What you said may not be impossible, but the three of them are like this, it is too coincidental, right? I'm afraid it's not so simple, let's investigate it secretly, you and I don't have to live here." Fulin Restaurant is a mix of dragons and snakes, it is not a clean place, you can leave as soon as possible when you go back. Even if you insist on finding out the truth about the Blood Devil Hall, you don't have to be so public, it's better to be careful. With that, he got up and wanted to leave.

Xiao Ma said: "What the seniors said is very true, the juniors will leave the Fulin Restaurant early tomorrow morning and secretly investigate the news." It's just that if the juniors have something to meet the seniors, where should they go?"

"If necessary, the old decay will naturally come to you. The words of the old man Wuwei came from afar, and they were gone in a blink of an eye.

Xiao Ma looked at the three of them and said helplessly: "These seniors are really fluctuating, coming and going at will, and they want to see each other again, but they can only wait for him to come to the door by himself." ā€

Murong Yuxin said with some annoyance: "I still had something to ask him, but before he finished speaking, the person left without a trace." This time, I don't know if we can see each other again in the Year of the Monkey. ā€

Pony comforted: "Now that the matter of the Red Fox Treasure Box is known to the world, and you are the key to finding out about this matter, once the old man Wuwei has news, he will naturally come to you as soon as possible, and when the time comes, you can pull him and let him answer them one by one." Let's go back to the Fulin Restaurant at this moment, find a way to redeem the jade pendant tomorrow, and find another good way to find out the news of the Blood Monster Hall. ā€

The four of them bowed down to the three deceased again and quietly left, and the maple grove returned to silence, and a night bird cooed and whispered on the branches beside the three new graves......
