431 Two curses
...... The Last Chapter of the Little Tribulation Fantasy World Travel......
The headline on the front page of Xiuxian Daily: The end of the Wu clan.
According to this newspaper, the spokesman of the Buddhist sect confirmed that he has mastered the hiding place of the Wu clan, and will soon launch a joint war of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism to exterminate the witches.
......
......
It is said that the witch broke with her sister Nuwa that year, and they were on the same page.
The Wu clan has been crowned with the cloak of evil, and the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism have always been regarded as mortal enemies, and without the protection of Nuwa, the Taoist Sect and Buddhism launched a culling of the Wu tribe.
Most of the wizards in the world were slaughtered, and the witches and some of their people were exiled to this uninhabited forest.
Although a hundred years have passed, the witch still has lingering fears about the war of extermination, and has strictly ordered her people not to leave for generations.
The forest is full of tall Fuyun trees, with houses built on the trees, and wooden bridges and plank roads between the trees, so that they can live on the Fuyun trees all the time if they are not out hunting.
Standing among the branches of the Fuyun tree, you can vaguely see colorful springs, grasslands, snow-capped mountains, and winding rivers, which is a colorful and magnificent world.
Every morning, the sun shines through the layers of leaves and falls on the faces of the carefree children, whose laughter lasts into the evening.
The natural freedom of children meant that they could not stay in the trees for long periods of time, so they ran barefoot in the jungle.
The children of the Wu clan have grown up happily around the Fuyun Tree for generations, only he is not.
His name is Su Mu, there is rarely a smile on his silent face, he is not indifferent, but he will inevitably look depressed after being quiet for a long time.
The loss of his parents robbed him of all his happiness. He doesn't resent anything. Because they were to protect their clan, they were captured by the Aoyu Vulture. He always sat on the tallest Fuyun tree, looking into the distance, looking forward to seeing the familiar figure of his parents in the next moment.
He has spent ten years in such ardent anticipation.
During the decade, while they were playing, he sat alone in a tree reciting incantations and practicing witchcraft, and he felt that only by becoming strong could he defeat the giant vulture. Save your parents.
Now, when he has become the preeminent wizard of the tribe, he jumps up and down the top of the Fuyun tree every day, but he never meets the vulture again.
He became stronger day by day, and the teenagers who grew up with him respected him very much, and even the patriarch witch personally promised to tell his daughter to marry him, and his future was brighter than everyone else, but the haze in his heart never dissipated.
On the leafy soil, the sun was shattered, and a young girl walked briskly on the dead leaves. She clutched the braid on her chest with a hasty expression, and her face was covered in blood. Tilting his head, he shouted to the young man on the Fuyun tree, "Brother Su Mu, come down quickly!"
Su Mu, who was in a daze above, lowered his head, saw her panicked, jumped down from the tree more than ten feet high like a cheetah, grabbed her hand and asked, "Who hit you?"
The girl handed him a cloth bag that she was holding tightly in her hand, and said, "There is a group of wicked people in the tribe, and my mother asked you to leave as soon as possible with this letter, and go as far as possible." ”
Su Mu subconsciously took the cloth bag and said, "Why do you want me to go?"
The girl had already turned around and ran away, and without looking back, she said, "Go quickly!"
Su Mu felt the familiar aura of the witch coming from the cloth bag in his hand, and without hesitation, he paused his feet and rose from the ground, his wind walk was the best among his peers, but every time he wanted to be alone and quiet, he always ran far away from the tribe, so he saw the tribe of the witch clan after running in the air for a cup of tea.
Everywhere there were fires, thunder and lightning, whirlwinds, ice blades, and occasionally there was a sound of Buddha slaughter, and the terrible and desperate cries of the clansmen.
He had heard of the discord between the Wu clan and the outside world, and these people in front of him who were clearly the two sects of Taoism and Buddhism didn't need to think about it, and rushed straight to fight.
The sky suddenly lit up with a white light, blinding everyone. A black shadow burst out of the white light, the witch killed the encirclement, she flew straight towards Su Mu, who was frantically fighting with people, and with a wave of her hand, a puff of black smoke filled the air, covering a radius of several miles, and under the cover of darkness, she took Su Mu out of the encirclement.
Su Muzheng's eyes were red, and he was suddenly picked up, and he couldn't help but be startled, and when he saw that it was a witch, he hurriedly said, "Master, the disciple is late." ”
The witch flew out of the jungle with all her might, and scolded, "Stupid! Didn't Yun'er tell you to let you leave, why did you come back?"
Su Mu said angrily: "The Wu clan is in trouble, how can the disciple escape alone?"
In the distance, a small but endless mountain beam appeared, and it was already at the end of the jungle.
The witch put away the spell, fell down, and said: "My sister's senior brother Kunpeng Patriarch came with his two major disciples Rulai, Bodhi Ancestor and a great power of the Dao Sect, the Wu Clan is afraid that this calamity will not be able to escape, I want you to leave as soon as possible, without my call, you will never be able to come back." ”
After that, before Su Mu could react, the witch raised her hand and sent two black smoke into his body, and said, "These two curses will restrain your behavior in the future, you have two things to do." The first is that you must find and protect Daji, and the second is that you must not use witchcraft lightly, and if you are discovered, you will be killed. Preserve your strength and leave a bloodline for the Wu clan. ”
Su Mu was speechless in astonishment, he didn't expect that Master's curse would come to him one day.
And that Daji, who didn't know who it was.
"Master, why do you want your disciples to look for Daji?"
The witch looked sad and said, "Yun'er was adopted by me outside, and Daji is my biological daughter. She is now following Fuxi to practice, but Fuxi is idle and wild, and her whereabouts are uncertain, so you can inquire in many ways. After finding her, you will flee into the world and live an ordinary life, never revealing witchcraft. ”
Su Mu's expression was a little blank, and he stood there with his waist straight, not kneeling down to receive the order, nor leaving.
The witch glanced anxiously at the way she came and said, "Su Mu, the outside world is dangerous and complicated, you have to remember what the teacher said, if you want to enter the supreme realm, it is best to abandon the weak kindness, so as to maintain the purity of witchcraft." The future of the Wicans is on you, go. ”
Su Mu hesitated again and again, and resolutely left this jungle where he had lived for sixteen years.
The witch then turned back and killed the chasing Rulai.
In Su Mu's vague concept of the world. Just keep going south. There are towns and cities that are inhabited.
The witch was in too much of a hurry. And he walked in too haste, his mind was filled with great grief, and he forgot the second curse when he thought about how to settle down in the future.
In the past three days, he flew out of the jungle with a gusting wind, flew over the desert, and saw a boxy city in the distance, so he planned to use it as the first resting point to inquire where Fuxi was.
It's miles away. A thunderbolt fell from the sky, and then there was a boom, and he felt that his whole body was as hot as if it had broken into a thousand petals, and he fell headlong into an unconscious.
When he woke up, he found hundreds of corpses lying around him, and it turned out that he had fallen on an official road into the city, and a large number of victims had entered the city to beg, and these fallen people had not been able to hold on.
They were skinny and bone-skinned, with turmeric faces, as if they had never eaten in their lives.
Su Mu supported his body that was about to fall apart and sat up with difficulty. There was not a single scar on his body, but it was tingling like a broken liver and intestines. He finally knew the power of the witch's curse, and now he didn't even have half a life left, and he might soon be a member of this huge corpse team.
For the first time in his life, he tasted the frustration of powerlessness, and only then did he realize that the pride of the past no longer existed, that he could not use witchcraft, that he was just an ordinary person.
The victims who entered the city moved towards the city like corpses, and they all looked numb from the beginning to the end.
Su Mu shouted from morning to night, and no one paid attention to him, as if he was already a dead man.
The sunset is late, the sunset is sleepy in the west, and the world is plunged into a dusk.
He felt a great sense of danger, this city was nestled in the desert, the sun was scorching during the day, and the north wind was bitter at night, and lying on this bald road all night was worse than death.
As a last resort, he completely put down his posture, suppressed the indifference in his heart, forced out an ugly smile, and shouted to a thin figure in a wide robe on the official road five meters in front of him: "Please stay! Take me into the city, okay?"
Unexpectedly, the thin figure stopped, walked over listlessly, squatted on the ground and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Su Mu saw that she had two braids on her chest, her face was dirty and she couldn't see her eyebrows clearly, she only knew that it was a girl, so she said: "Little sister, I am injured and can't stand up, can you help me into the city? When I am injured, I will definitely reward you." ”
The girl asked, "Do you have anything to eat?"
Su Mu shook his head: "No." ”
The girl also shook her head: "I'm hungry and don't have the strength to support you." ”
Su Mu suddenly remembered that there was a white fox's tail on his body, which Yun'er asked him to get a few days ago. Snow-white, plus furry isn't it exactly the little girl's favorite?
He took it and shook it in front of her, and said, "The place where I live is so big, and there are only dozens of white foxes, this is the most beautiful place on it, give it to you." ”
The girl's sloppy eyes focused on the moment she saw the head of the tail, looked at it for a moment, and slowly held it in her hand, it felt smooth and warm to the touch, and she liked it immediately.
But she did something that made Su Mu dumbfounded, she tightened the robe full of holes, turned around and left.
Su Mu shook his head angrily and smiled.
However, the girl walked more than ten steps and ran back, and said seriously: "Will you really reward me if I help you into the city?"
"Yes. ”
The girl flicked the messy hair on her forehead back, rolled up her sleeves, and wrapped one of Su Mu's arms to pull him up like mud.
Su Mu endured the pain, half of his body was leaned on the girl's shoulder, and he limped on the road with the torrent of victims.
Before she walked out of the two arrows, the girl's face turned red and beads of sweat rolled down her face, but she didn't complain, just walked intently.
Seeing that the city gate was in front of her, the girl's legs trembled when she was tired, and her dirty face was full of exhaustion.
Su Mu trembled even more, the injury was brewing all the way and finally broke out, and he squeezed his eyebrows and grinned in pain.
As soon as she passed the dilapidated city gate, the girl walked towards the stone platform under an old locust tree, and before she could reach the place, she threw Su Mu to the ground, she pinched her waist, gasped for breath, and said, "I'm going to die, I can't breathe." ”
This place is surrounded by a city wall, and there are old trees to shade it, which is a place of refuge, and he lies on the stone platform with his eyes closed, motionless, and soon falls asleep.
The little girl lay down beside him.
As the night spread silently, the victims entered the city, each choosing a corner to shelter from the wind. Snuggle up to each other. I was unwilling to fall asleep with the sound of my stomach rumbling.
Early morning. Before dawn, the little girl sat up with her eyes rubbed, took out a bowl from her robe, put it in front of her, and began to make a living.
Most of the people who passed by were disaster victims, but there were also merchants who went out of the city to do business, and when they saw a thin little girl kneeling on the side of the road, and a young man who was about to die next to her, they couldn't help but mistake them for brother and sister. That pitiful look is really eye-catching.
At the end of the day, the girl's bowl had enough income to satisfy her hunger, just enough to buy two dry flatbreads.
She didn't even hesitate, and directly put a piece of flatbread in Su Mu's hand.
Su Mu thought that she was going to say something compassionate against her heart, and it took a lot of words to get her to give alms, but she didn't expect her to act so openly, and she was immediately in awe of her.
According to her style, there is hope before the injury is healed.
The next day, however, something happened that made the two of them extremely angry, and at sunset, just as the little girl was about to buy flatbread with satisfaction, two burly beggars suddenly sprang out of the slanted thorns. Pushed her down and grabbed the money. He dropped the bowl and walked away.
The little girl was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything, Su Mu was so angry that she almost didn't turn her back, and she couldn't scold in anger, that was the only ration he had for a day!
They had to go hungry all night.
And so it was on the third day.
The fourth day was like that.
On the fifth day, both of them were dying of starvation before they opened their minds, and every penny Su Mu got stuffed into the gap under the stone platform.
In the evening, two wicked people came, and when they couldn't get money, they slapped the little girl three times and didn't stop.
Su Mu said viciously: "If you want to start rushing at me, don't hit her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a broken shoe flew over and called directly on his mouth.
In the next few days, Su Mu had to accept the baptism of the fists of the evil men every day, and sometimes he was so full that he couldn't even eat the flatbread.
On the tenth day of their begging, Su Mu's injury suddenly healed, and there was not even a transition period, just last night he thought that this injury would not be able to recover for a month, and he couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Now he moved as usual, his limbs were strong, he tried a few times, and waved his hand.
He has never been a character who convinces people with virtue, he didn't have that hobby when he was a child, the reason why he seems lonely in the Wu tribe, and occasionally comes to a little sadness, seems to be a weak character, but in fact, it is because his witchcraft is too strong, no one dares to anger him, and there is a high place that is unbearable and lonely. This is just entering the world, Lei Split doesn't say it, he asked for it, but he met such two villains, if he didn't clean them up, how could he still have a big face in front of the little girl.
"Take me there. ”
He took the little girl's hand and walked down the street with his head held high.
The little girl knew where the two beggars were, and after passing the flatbread stall, she walked two blocks ahead.
There were still four or five hundred meters away, and the little girl stood still, pointed her hand, and said, "No, it's there." ”
Su Mu said: "Come with me, I'm tired of replacing you." ”
The little girl shook her head vigorously and said, "Otherwise, don't go, you're injured, don't be beaten back by them, to be honest, it's really hard for me to raise you as a child." ”
Su Mu's face turned red, how could he describe the days of eating soft rice these days. Her affection for him was indeed sufficient, and he was full of gratitude to her.
"Then you wait for me, I really can't beat them, you run. ”
The little girl felt that it should be so, and nodded.
Two beggars, who were not like beggars, were basking in the sun under the wall with their arms crossed, and suddenly their faces darkened, and when they raised their eyes to see that the sun was blocked, they waved their hands impatiently and shouted, "Get out of here." ”
First, the backlight, and the other came that Su Mu was sick and had no human form a few days ago, but now he was standing here in good spirits, and the two of them couldn't recognize each other.
The beggar was still going to sleep, but the other patted his ass and stood up, kicked him, and said, "Don't sleep, the chicken should be cooked, dig it out and eat it." ”
The man stretched his waist and yawned: "The days are beautiful, eat and sleep, wake up and eat, and don't change anything for a fairy." Hey, where did you come from, boy, why don't you fuck off?"
Su Mu glanced at him coldly, without saying a word, raising his leg was a heartwarming foot, with a crisp click, the man's chest was shattered, and he died without even a call.
Although he can't use witchcraft, but the strong consciousness of his body is still there, and it is naturally easy to deal with these ordinary people with a solid foundation, and he regrets it a little when he lifts his leg halfway, the strength is too strong. It's too cheap to kick him to death. But fortunately, there is still one left.
Half to be exact.
He was half short and fell to his knees. A vigorous kowtow.
It's a pity that he met someone who wouldn't be soft-hearted.
Su Mu has not left the Wu clan for many years, and his impression of the outside world is blank, and he fell from the sky, paralyzed, begging for a long time without anyone to take care of him, and stayed until he entered the city to beg, and walked in front of him thousands of people in one day, but only three people were willing to give alms. What kind of world is this? He was amazed that they were even more cold and impersonal than he was.
The excitement of seeing the worldly city when he first arrived was swept away, and his heart was even colder.
But at this moment, the appearance of two bastards robbed him of what mercy he had, and from the moment they slapped his little girl, they were no longer alive in his eyes.
No wonder the witch told him to be a villain, look at the soft egg appearance of this guy who was flying ten seconds ago, how can he be soft on this kind of person?
"You just said the chicken is cooked, where is it?"
Listening to Su Mu's flat voice, the beggar became even more uneasy. He said in a loud voice: "It's buried in the sand mound over there, and the authentic one is called a flower chicken." ”
said. He took out a handful of broken silver, and said with a bitter smile: "Uncle, that chicken is for you, and all this silver is filial to you." ”
Su Mu took the silver, waited unhurriedly for him to dig out the stewed chicken, and said, "Reading that you are doing well, it can make you suffer less." ”
The beggar was overjoyed when he heard this, and the chicken kowtowed like pecking rice: "Little Uncle Xie, when you go back, you will definitely offer the eight generations of ancestors of the uncle to eat and drink, and you will not forget your old kindness until you die." The small ones are ...... Then go back and make offerings. ”
Su Mu tripped him with a hook of his foot, and said coldly: "Don't worry, I won't be able to kill you later, it's not too late to do it." ”
When the red sun is in the sky, the heat is gradually getting stronger, and there is a smell of dry heat everywhere.
People don't like to get together in this kind of weather, but hundreds of people gathered at the mouth of a certain alley on the street, listening to the screams that don't seem like human voices coming from inside, and they all felt a chill.
On the stone platform under the old locust tree at the city gate, Su Mu and the little girl sat side by side to enjoy the coolness.
"The money is for you, I'm leaving. ”
Su Mu thought that the girl would be sad and reluctant to him, so she deliberately said it softly to make her easy to accept.
Who knew that the girl just paused, continued to eat the chicken legs, puffed out her mouth, and said nonchalantly: "Where are you going?"
Su Mu said: "By the Yellow River, I have asked, and the people I am looking for often appear in that area. ”
"Let's go. The little girl twitched the snot that was about to run into her mouth, and said with a blank face.
Su Mu smiled rarely, patted her head, and strode towards the city gate.
His hand was suddenly grabbed from behind, and when he turned around, he saw that it was the little girl.
She looked up at him with her unkempt head, but her eyes were so bright, like the brightest stars of the night, that she looked at him attentively.
Then hand him a half-nibbled chicken thigh.
Su Mu shook his head: "I don't want it." ”
The tone is stiff and the expression is indifferent. He was just used to it, and he wasn't trying to show her.
Looking at his back farther and farther away, the little girl threw away the chicken leg and cried sobly, and the stars shattered to the ground.
Su Mu walked south along another official road and never looked back. The little girl is his benefactor, she is just a child, and someone will bully her in the future...... But they just met in Pingshui, he has no obligation to take care of her, he has more important things to do, whoever wants to bully can bully.
Sooner or later, I'll have to pay it back.
The road is long and uneventful.
Three months later, Su Mu came to a wharf on the bank of the Yellow River.
More than ten miles to the south is the largest city on the northern plain, Yuzhou, one of the nine states. Cargo ships and passenger ships gather here, coming and going like shuttles, and there is an endless stream.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, buying and selling transactions are naturally indispensable, especially in the south bank area, where countless shops have been opened.
There was even a horseback riding ground in the center of the lush woods, and the grass was flat and soft, which was the best place for those sons and sisters to go out.
This activity, led by the children of rich families, gradually became a trend.
The horse farm is opening more and more, and it is no longer a single run in the horse farm, the north bank of the Yellow River is dozens of miles long to open up a smooth road, exclusively for visitors to ride horses.
Young people quickly embraced and liked this way of traveling, inviting friends to ride horses on the willow-shaded banks of the river in their leisure time, chatting or simply relaxing.
The rise of the horse farms brought more business to the shops and taverns, and the goods needed and the huge daily forage of the horse farms needed to be well supplied, and of course, this was the main purpose of the cargo ships sailing on the Yellow River.
Except for the small wharves that are not climatized, there is only one large wharf on the shore, which can dock five large ships side by side, and sometimes there is a queue behind them.
It is a test for the unloading capacity of the terminal.
The hundreds of unloaders at the dock are roughly controlled by three forces.
There are only more than ten casual workers who do not belong to these three forces, and Su Mu is one of them. (To be continued......)
