Chapter 8 The Past and the Past
"The people of the village...... ...... people in the village."
Chu Liuxian rushed all the way down, his heart was in chaos, and he couldn't imagine what the small village he had lived in for sixteen years had become now.
He still had a little luck in his heart, and he only hoped that the power of the Lethe curse would not reach the village.
What is the concept of Ten Mile Extinction?
Chu Liuxian didn't know, but it was just a fluke that made him resist thinking about it, to judge how far the village was from the place where Gongzi fell.
When he rushed to the entrance of the village, he staggered, almost lost his footing, and looked at the dead village in a daze, and that bit of luck was crushed into powder by the ruthlessness of reality.
At dawn, everything revives, and the village is full of noise.
The woman who went out to do laundry, the young man who exercised her fists and feet, and the farmer who went to the field with a hoe......
At dawn, the people of the whole village were awakened, and none of them were there.
The small village is so quiet that it seems to be still sleeping.
This silence allowed Chu Liuxian to clearly hear the sound of blood rushing in the veins, the sound of the heart beating in the chest, getting more and more urgent, faster and faster, urging him to raise his feet and walk into the village step by step.
In the familiar village, only his footsteps echoed.
As soon as he entered the entrance of the village, Chu Liuxian saw that outside the thatched houses, pieces of ashes of various shapes remained on the ground.
Some are like oxen prostrate, some are like mules and horses falling on their sides, and some are curled up like earth dogs......
Some are like people!
"No...... Not ......"
Chu Liuxian's breathing couldn't help but become short, but no matter how short he was, he still felt suffocated for a while, neither could he exhale the turbid breath in his chest, nor could he breathe in the fresh air, so he was forced to hold there.
Under the spell of Lethe, these creatures with low vitality and no spiritual power in their flesh and blood were instantly emptied of all vitality and turned into ashes.
Chu Liuxian instinctively restored everything that happened at that time, endured the throbbing pain in his heart, and walked stiffly.
Along the way, no one was eager to introduce him to the little flowers in the neighboring village;
Along the way, no one enthusiastically shouted "Brother Xian'er";
Along the way, no one will crowd around and ask for advice on hunting, fists and kicks, and whatever......
......
Along the way, there was nothing......
Chu Liuxian seemed to have lost his soul, walking in the village that he had traveled countless times in the past sixteen years, he only felt so strange, so alienated, everything he was familiar with had turned into pieces of ashes, retaining the appearance of the last scene before his death.
Old men, young men, women, children
- The whole village is dead!
Chu Liuxian's entry also seemed to break the silence between heaven and earth, and a gust of wind rose and poured into the village immediately behind him.
Suddenly, the ashes were swept into the sky along with dust.
No matter how strong this wind is, it can't compare to the earth-shaking earth in the golden lake of Chu Liuxian Immortal Soul World at this moment, and the huge waves and winds are howling, which is in stark contrast to the Mu Ran on his appearance.
The wind is like a spirit, always following his steps, but wherever he walks, it blows cleanly, and does not take a step beyond the thunder pool, and retains the integrity of the road ahead.
All the way forward, there was a wind behind me all the way, blowing everything away.
This strange scene lasted until Chu Liuxian stopped.
In front of him were two houses close to each other, one the cottage where he grew up, and the other the residence of the village chief's family.
"The old village chief, Aunt Li, and ...... Amiable!"
Chu Liuxian didn't move forward for a long time, just because he was afraid of seeing the scene that he couldn't accept.
After a long pause, he finally gritted his teeth and strode forward.
Pushing open the firewood and entering the courtyard, the first thing that jumped into Chu Liuxian's eyes was a wreath that fell next to the Qixingjing in the courtyard.
The wreath has long been unrecognizable, yellow, shriveled and ugly, and covered with dust.
Seeing this garland, Chu Liuxian remembered the scene when he prepared things and ran up the mountain.
At that time, Xiao Keqin was holding a garland in his hand and looked at him pitifully......
Chu Liuxian felt a lot of pain in his heart, regretted it, and hated himself for why he didn't stop at that time, why didn't he take this wreath and put it on.
Perhaps, for many years after that, Xiao Keqin's eyes at that time will continue to emerge from memory.
Chu Liuxian picked up the garland and rushed into the room like a storm.
After a while, he rushed out again, looked around, and finally stood outside the courtyard of the little amiable family, holding the dried wreath in his hand, his expression changed, and he didn't know the joy and sorrow.
Sadly, in Xiao Ke's family, Chu Liuxian saw the corpses of the old village chief and his wife, who had always cared about him and ran around for his future;
The good thing is that no matter where it is, there is no trace of a small amiable.
In other words, the village chief is dead, and the little amiable may still be alive.
"Little amiable, where are you?"
Chu Liuxian raised his head and asked the sky, but the sky naturally didn't answer, only the gray dragon composed of smoke and dust from the village was filled in the air and circled.
After a moment of silence, Chu Liuxian cherished it and put the dried wreath into his arms.
"Little amiable, my brother will find you, no matter where you are. ”
The missing little amiable, dry garland seems to have become a kind of sustenance, hidden deep in Chu Liuxian's heart.
Before he could leave this place where he had no more nostalgia, the wind that had been howling and circling up suddenly froze.
It was not only the wind that was fixed, but the vast world, which suddenly quieted down.
Chu Liuxian felt something, and raised his eyes to look towards the east.
There, the morning sun hung in the air like fire, and a black dot drove out of the morning sun and flew in the direction where he was.
Its speed was fast, its momentum was amazing, and in the blink of an eye, the small black dot kept enlarging in Chu Liuxian's eyes, and finally became an ancient mottled building ship that entered and exited the nine heavens, between the green and the underworld.
"Jiuyao ~ Ancient Ship!"
Chu Liuxian remained motionless, staring at the Jiuyao Ancient Ship flying closer.
This ancient ship was simply beyond his imagination, he had only seen it once in his dreams, and this time he saw it with his own eyes, and only then did he really feel the terrifying power contained in it, and the unimaginable magical achievements.
Such a behemoth, can enter and exit the green underworld, can be thousands of miles in an instant, it is tantamount to carrying a high mountain and surpassing the sea, immersive, no one can not help but be shocked by it, and dumbfounded by the achievements it represents.
Chu Liuxian is no exception.
The Jiuyao Ancient Ship flew into the air outside the village, suspended in the void, and from a distance, it seemed that a sail painted with golden black dancing red was slowly falling.
Immediately after, a pillar of light shot out from the ancient ship and shot straight into the village.
There were dozens of people wrapped in the pillar of light, and the ancient ship descended with the pillar of light.
"It's them. ”
Chu Liuxian's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and he recognized that among them were the son's housekeeper Qin Bo, the maid Xin Yi, and an unknown Chu family guard.
It is these people who escort the son to stay in the immortals, go to the top sect of the Immortal Dao, the Dao Sect, and worship the door.
Chu Liuxian knew that his first test had arrived.
These people are all close to the son, if they see the flaws, then everything will be mentioned.
As soon as he thought of this, Chu Liuxian took a deep breath, sank his heart, reached into his arms, held the dry wreath, and stood in the center of the village, looking at the entire village.
The previous situation, the scenes of the past sixteen years, flashed from his eyes like a kaleidoscope again.
Behind him, the pillar of light touched the ground and dissipated, and the housekeeper Qin Bo, the maid Xin Yi, and a group of guards fell.
They all looked ecstatic and relieved, and they were worried about the survival of Gongzi's immortals, and they were afraid that he would have a good time.
However,
No matter what kind of joy or worry, no one dared to disturb Chu Liuxian, one by one held their breath and stood quietly behind him.
After a long time, Chu Liuxian pulled out of that situation and slowly turned around.
His gaze swept over everyone's faces, and as far as the eye could see, everyone bowed their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
"You're here. ”
Chu Liuxian's tone was very flat, so plain that there was nothing, but when those people heard it in their ears, they were all excited, and they bowed to worship:
"Subordinate, see Childe!"
"See Childe...... See Childe's ...... See Childe's ......"
The crowd sang in unison, shaking the sky and echoing on the ground, and it did not disperse for a long time.
Among all of them, only the housekeeper Qin Bo and the maid Xin Yi dared to raise their heads and look at Chu Liuxian.
These two, one is to watch the son stay in the immortal and grow up, and the other is a personal maid, which is naturally different from others.
"Get up. ”
Chu Liuxian helped with his free hand, everyone got up, and Qin Bo and Xin Yi naturally leaned over.
"The son forgives the sins, and the old slave is not well protected. ”
Uncle Qin lowered his white-haired head in front of Chu Liuxian, and said very ashamedly: "If it weren't for the fact that the son has a destiny in his body, the auspicious person is natural, and the old slave is not enough to apologize even if he dies." ”
Chu Liuxian comforted himself.
From the dreams of more than ten years, he knew that this Qin Bo was actually a powerful master, but he didn't know what kind of realm it was.
I only know that on the huge Jiuyao Ancient Ship, Qin Bo is the first.
The maid Xin Yi seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, and said with a smile: "Childe, have you found the fire tree silver flower?"
"Hmm. ”
Chu Liuxian nodded, handed the fire tree silver flower to Xin Yi, and ordered: "Xin Yi, it has been cursed by Lethe, try your best to save it." ”
"Yes, Childe!"
Xin Yi carefully took the fire tree and silver flower, and was about to say something, when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly paused.
It was not only her who also had an abnormality, but also Chu Liuxian, the housekeeper Qin Bo, and all the guards nearby.
They are all immortal cultivators, and the sharpness of their five senses is far beyond that of ordinary people, and at this moment, they all perceive something.
Everyone's eyes fell on the ground not far away.
There, there is a seven-star well in the courtyard, where Chu Liuxian picked up the dry garland.
The sound coming from under the Seven Stars Well was so weak that they couldn't tell what it was, but at this moment everyone was quiet, and they heard it more and more clearly.
The so-called Seven Star Well is to cover the wellhead with stone slabs and open seven small holes on it to facilitate water drawing. There are many such wells in the village, and the water of the wells is cool, and every household has dug them.
"What can you have under the Seven Star Well?"
"What can it be, to survive under the Lethe curse?"
Chu Liuxian's pupils shrank suddenly, and without anyone commanding, those Chu family guards rushed up and protected him behind him.
