Chapter 23: The Tragedy

When passing through Fengshen Village, Xiao Se couldn't help but lower his body, and without taking a look in person, he was a little worried after all.

However, the scene that appeared before his eyes was like a heavy hammer, striking his heart, and in the middle of the village appeared a mound that should not have appeared, and a wooden plank was erected in front of the mound.

Xiao Se walked with trembling steps, and when he got closer, several big words appeared, "The tomb of the villagers of Fengshen Village!!

Glancing around, there were ruins everywhere, and not far away was a low-lying area, where a large area of black had gathered, telling him about the tragedy that had happened here.

A small mountain village that has no quarrel with the world, some kind and simple villagers have been slaughtered!

Xiao Se's bones exploded, the Burning Heaven Innocence Qi boiled outside his body, and a dark cloud covered the sun, as if he was also shocked by this hatred.

A middle-aged man returning from chopping wood passed by, looked twice at the village, and sighed. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the young man in the village who was wrapped in blue 'demonic energy', and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, "Ghost!

Xiao Se looked in that direction when he heard the sound, then swept in front of the woodcutter, and said in a low voice: "I'm not a ghost!

The woodcutter was like a sifting chaff, and trembled: "I, I am a responsible person, and I have never done anything bad......"

Xiao Se looked at him, put away his momentum, and said lightly: "I want to know what happened here!"

After the woodcutter made sure that Xiao Se was not a ghost, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said with a steady expression: "This small village is called Fengshen Village, and the villagers are very friendly, I will pass by here every time I chop wood, and occasionally I will enter the village to beg for saliva to drink, but ......"

The woodcutter's face was bitter, as if he remembered something painful, "I remember that two years ago, a foreign boy came here to remove the robbers for the villagers, and he saw that a good day came, who knew that the young man had just left, and the next day a sect called He Zong came......

"Is it called Mu Yunzong?" Xiao Se said a few words from between his teeth.

"Oh! Yes, it's this Muyun Sect, who came to this inexplicably said that the Fengshen villagers were fornicating with the demon sect thieves, I happened to pass by here that day, and I secretly saw these, and more than ten people from the Muyun Sect, each like a tiger and wolf, gathered a group of villagers to that place. The woodcutter pointed to the low-lying place as he spoke, "After that, a man named Yun'er killed all the villagers of this god, and the black was the dried blood of the villagers!"

Xiao Se was already furious when he heard this, but he still forced himself to ask, "What happened later?"

The woodcutter saw that Xiao Se didn't look like a bad person, and continued: "The eighty-three households in Fengshen Village all died here, and later the bones were sorted out by the well-wishers of Shuixiang Township and buried here!"

"Were any of them spared?"

"No, they're all dead! Oh no, I remember seeing a girl about ten years old, but I thought it was a ghost, so I didn't dare to come forward!" recalls the woodcutter.

"Thank you!" Xiao Se said lightly, then turned around and walked towards the huge tomb again.

"It's very yin here, you better go quickly!" the woodcutter kindly instructed, turned to leave, and when he walked out for a while, he looked back and saw that Xiao Se had not left, and sighed, "What a weirdo!"

After a pause, Xiao Se sacrificed the Heavenly Death and muttered, "Soon you will taste blood!" and then swept towards the water town.

It was getting late, Xiao Se bought some paper money in Shuixiang Town, returned to the grave of Fengshen Village, took out the flint and lit the paper money, and wisps of smoke gradually floated around him, as if he was catching up with this long-lost boy.

Suddenly, Xiao Se's divine sense sensed that someone was hiding behind a grass hut and peeking here.

"Hmph, it's better to be that bullshit and righteous person!" Xiao Se suddenly swung out a true qi, boom! The grass house collapsed in response, and what appeared in Xiao Se's eyes was a ragged girl named Hanako, who was staying there with a bundle of paper money, only to see her greasy hair tied together haphazardly, and her eyes, which were originally as clear as jewels, seemed to be blinded by dirt, becoming dull, and her eyes jumped uneasily, as if she would be hurt at any time.

"Shui Ling!!" Xiao Se called out tremblingly.

"You are ......" Shui Ling trembled and approached Xiao Se, "You are Brother Xiao Se!"

"Yes, it's me!" Xiao Se stepped forward and hugged Shui Ling in his arms, and if he said more, he would also be stumbling in his throat at this time.

"Brother Xiao Se!" Woo ......" Shui Ling hugged Xiao Se tightly, "Grandpa, they are all dead!"

"It's all my ...... for hurting you"

"No! I don't blame you! Grandpa said before he died that he didn't blame you, it's all fate!" Shui Ling let go and cried, she had been wandering outside for many years, and all the sourness turned into tears at this moment.

Shui Ling's appearance, Xiao Se can see how she has been doing over the years, just like a knife, cutting his already broken heart one by one, and those who have something to do with him have no good end?

Xiao Se looked up to the sky and shouted, "Oh my God, God! Are you looking?"

After a while, Shui Ling stopped crying, knelt in front of the grave, threw the paper money into the fire, and muttered: "Grandpa, look, Brother Xiao Se has come back to see you, you... Rest in peace......"

Tears filled her eyes again, a twelve-year-old girl, in the prime of her life, but experienced these hardships that ordinary people could not bear.

Xiao Se also knelt down with Shui Ling and asked softly: "...... in the past two years" I wanted to ask about Shui Ling's situation, but Xiao Se stopped talking, do you still need to ask?

Shui Ling squeezed out a smile and looked at Xiao Se, "I'm doing well! There are still a lot of kind-hearted people in the town, and today is the grandfather's taboo, so someone from outside the staff rewarded the money, so I came to pay tribute!"

"Well, there are still good people in this world!"

"On the day of Grandpa's accident, I went to the mountains to try to practice the spell you taught, so I escaped, and when I came back, there were corpses all over the place......

Xiao Se held Shui Ling in his arms, stopped talking, looked at the night sky and shouted: "This revenge will not be avenged, and I will not be a man!"

When he was young, the paper money was burned, Xiao Se pulled up the water spirit and walked in the direction of Shuixiang Town.

The pile of ashes, which was still a little red, recorded Xiao Se's words when he left, "Shui Ling, from now on, you will treat me as your brother, a relative like your grandfather, from now on, I will not allow anyone to bully you for half a point, so that you can live a stable life!"

When he came to Shuixiang Town, Xiao Se took Shui Ling's hand and walked into an inn, the shopkeeper hurriedly greeted him when he saw Shui Ling, but when he saw Shui Ling, his face changed instantly, revealing an ugly face, and scolded: "You mourning star, why did you come to ask for food again!"

Shui Ling lowered her head, but she clearly felt the trembling of Xiao Se's body. Xiao Se looked at the shopkeeper and said lightly, "Get out!"

"Hey, how are you scolding, you're a! Our inn will never let the Mourning Star in!"

As soon as the shopkeeper's voice fell, a sharp pain suddenly came from his chest, and his body flew out like a kite with a broken string, smashed over a table, hit Qiang, and blood flowed out from the corner of his mouth.

"Hit someone, hit someone!" said an onlooker.

Xiao Se didn't pay attention to them, but walked directly to the bookkeeper, "Is there a room?"

The bookkeeper trembled and said, "Yes, yes, how many rooms do you want?"

"One upper room, one table of food!" After speaking, Xiao Se led Shui Ling to sit down at a table, looked at Shui Ling and said, "Shui Ling, you wait here first, brother will buy you clothes." ”

Shui Ling nodded, Xiao Se got up and walked outside, and didn't go far when he saw a tailor's shop.

"Guest officer, how do you look at this shirt, it's really extravagant to wear on you!" the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled when he saw Xiao Se coming.

"Are there any clothes for the girls to wear?"

"Yes!" the shopkeeper said and took out a purple shirt, Xiao Se looked at it, the material was not bad, and then paid the silver, took the clothes wrapped by the store and returned to the inn.

"Huh?" As soon as he stepped into the inn, Xiao Se felt a murderous aura, and saw three or five sword-wielding sweaters holding Shui Ling, and a middle-aged man with a fat brain came to Xiao Se's side, and said arrogantly: "I heard that you injured our shopkeeper?"

"Yes, what do you want?"

"It's not good! Dare to make trouble in my Jin Laosan store, you are really impatient, today the uncle is in a good mood, leave a hundred taels of silver and put the mourning star, if not, hum!" said and looked at the big man with the knife, the big man instantly understood, the steel knife in his hand was a little hard, and there were blood marks on Shui Ling's neck, and it would be bleeding in nearly half a minute.

"Looking for death!" As the words fell, I saw Xiao Se's body flash in front of the sword-wielding man like a ghost, and slammed out a punch, and then looked at the knife-wielding man, who had turned into a pile of blood mist.

Xiao Se pulled Shui Ling and wiped the blood from her face, "It's all my fault, I let you be wronged!"

Seeing this, Jin Laosan was so frightened that he was about to run away, when a voice like a cry came, "Stop!"

Jin Laosan witnessed Xiao Se's almost murderous methods, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Xiao Se to apologize, "It's all me who deserves to die, it's all me who deserve to die, beg the young man to spare me, I'm willing to give you money!"

Xiao Se looked at Jin Laosan in disgust, and said coldly: "Have you bullied my sister?"

"I swear I've never bullied her!I just gave her some bad food and let her dust off my shoes!" Jin Laosan didn't dare to lie, and his voice became quieter and quieter.

"Then, you're going to die!" Xiao Se slammed a punch on Jin Laosan's forehead, and immediately blood poured into him, and he didn't seem to be alive.

Xiao Se felt Shui Ling's trembling, turned his head and smiled: "Shui Ling is not afraid, I said it, I won't let people bully you again!"

After speaking, he looked at the stunned bookkeeper, "You go and tell everyone that anyone who has bullied my sister will die of death!"

Hearing this, Shui Ling suddenly hugged Xiao Se's arm and begged in a low voice: "Brother, stop killing!"

Xiao Se changed his smiling face, looked at Shui Ling, nodded and said, "Well, don't kill it!" said and pulled Shui Ling and walked out.
