Things have to start with Cao Jing leaving home.

It is said that after Cao Jing left home for training, Cao Shan felt that he had nothing to do at home, so he took the hunter team of the clan into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine.

After more than half a month of hard work, it can be regarded as a fruitful harvest, all kinds of fierce beast prey, herbal refining materials are full of cloth bag beast bags, it can be said that it is a full load, so I am ready to return to the village.

Cao Shan has been walking in the mountains and forests for many years, of course he knows that few people climb in this kind of place, if there are herbs must be the best herbs of the previous year, so he stopped the team, and jumped on the stone cliff with the high-level cultivation of the forging body, and found a honeysuckle in a stone crevice, and was overjoyed, and carefully picked it down.

Cao Shan knew that this honeysuckle was different from ordinary herbs, before the honeysuckle bloomed, it was a high-grade herb, which was already a great wealth, and it was usually difficult to encounter high-grade herbs like a mountain, most of them were just middle and lower grades. And once the honeysuckle blooms, it must be a first-grade elixir, and the effect of the medicine can be described as anti-heaven, and those who cultivate under the mid-stage cultivation of Qi refining will definitely be able to break through the bottleneck and cultivate to a higher level after taking it.

Among the many herbal elixirs, herbs are generally only effective for monks in the forging stage, and only some special top-grade herbs have some medicinal effects for monks above the qi refining stage, and the others are ineffective or have little effect and can be ignored. And the supreme elixir of more than one grade and even the ninth grade has an anti-heaven medicinal effect, and for different cultivators, the medicinal effect is different, but the effect is extraordinary.

For an acquired mortal monk like Cao Shan, who forged the ninth layer of the body, the first-grade elixir was undoubtedly an elixir, as long as Cao Jing took it, he would be able to break through, so as to enter the next big cultivation realm, so as to ascend to the sky in one step and increase his longevity.

And the honeysuckle picked by Cao Shan is a blooming one, which was picked when the medicinal effect was at its peak, so it must have reached the category of a first-class elixir, and the medicinal effect is stronger than the ordinary one. How can this not make Cao Shan happy.

After Cao Shan picked a product of elixir honeysuckle, he rushed back to Cao Zhuang with the team non-stop, Cao Shan secretly hid the honeysuckle, and he kept the honeysuckle behind closed doors, not that Cao Shan didn't want to take it, but he thought about it otherwise.

Cao Shan thought that his roots and bones had been finalized, and his lifetime achievements would be limited to this, even if he took honeysuckle and barely broke through to the Qi refining period, there would not be much progress, and the highest achievement was the third layer of Qi refining, and it was difficult to improve, so it was better to keep it for Cao Jing, and after taking honeysuckle with Cao Jing's qualifications, he would definitely be able to enter a higher level, and after the transformation of honeysuckle, he would be more crystal clear, and his future achievements would be unlimited.

Although Cao Shan also told the clansmen not to mention to the outside world that they had obtained honeysuckle, he also knew that they didn't know this elixir, only knew that it was a herb, and the clansmen didn't take it to heart, and Cao Shan thought that they couldn't know the anti-heaven effect of honeysuckle, and they didn't be too cautious. But there are accidents in everything.

Just after returning to Caozhuang, the clansmen brought the herbs harvested in the mountains and the meat of the beast materials to Wushan Town to trade, these are ordinary things, and they are also purchased by familiar merchants, and then exchange some ordinary household things to bring back to the village for use.

When selling herbs in the town, the ethnic people of the two villages casually mentioned that Cao Shan picked the honeysuckle, saying how gorgeous it was, how pleasant the aroma and so on, saying that the listener had no intention, or that the wall had ears, and it happened to be heard by Chen Lihai, who was passing by, and asked them about the appearance of the flower and other information, and they didn't care about answering casually, thinking that it was a passer-by who was curious to ask, and they didn't care about it, so they left it behind and didn't think about it anymore.

They didn't know that Chen Lihai was the core member of the Chen family in Wushan Town, and after judging that it was honeysuckle in full bloom, Chen Lihai did not stay and returned home directly to repay the family.

That night, the Chen family poured out of the nest, arrived in Caozhuang, and directly asked Cao Shan for honeysuckle, but Cao Shan was reluctant to hand it over at first, and then forced the Chen family to threaten hundreds of people in Caozhuang to hand over the honeysuckle with hatred, and the Chen family did not keep their promise after getting the honeysuckle and let go of Caozhuang's people.

The leader of the Chen family said: "Cao Shan, you still dare to be dissatisfied, with hatred in your heart, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will definitely take revenge on my Chen family, since this is the case, you will be completely wiped out today, so as to prevent future troubles! Kill me, leave no one behind!"

In the case of a monk in the Qi refining period, Cao Shan and the others in the forging period were killed without a chance to make a move, and the entire Cao Zhuang was bleak, screaming and dying everywhere.

The poor people of Cao Zhuang were completely wiped out without any resistance at all, and none of the people in Zhuang survived.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of people in the entire Caozhuang were slaughtered, the chickens and dogs were not left, the Zuihou Chen family swept away all the goods, gold and silver, and burned the entire Caozhuang cleanly with a fire.

It's really a disaster from the mouth, just a few boring chats, but it buried hundreds of people, and ended up dead, the family was ruined, and the bones were gone!

............

Cao Jing sat alone in the cave and practiced, comprehending the jade simple exercises left by Tianqingzi and so on. didn't know that his family had been killed, and there was no one left.

After about ten days of Caozhuang being destroyed, Cao Jing ended his cultivation and study, left the cave where he lived for nearly a month, and returned to Caozhuang like an arrow, after all, he promised his mother to return in about a month when he left, and there was no delay along the way. And how can it be so easy to meet on haode to collect medicine, and there are often people in and out along the way, which is even more rare.

Along the way, I kept returning to Cao Zhuang, and saw that it was indeed ruined, a void, lifeless, not even a fierce beast, Cao Jing slowly interspersed in the original Cao Zhuang place, walking between the broken houses and tiles, looking at the burned white bones on the ground, Cao Jing no longer knew how to grieve, a few days ago the master left him, and now the closest parents and clansmen, also one of them died of martyrdom.

Cao Jing frantically moved his hands to open the collapsed house, only to get the bones of his parents who had no flesh and skin, Cao Jing hugged the bones and cried loudly, and the terrible sad sound startled the birds in the mountains and forests in the distance, so that the birds and beasts nearby were silent for a while, the silence was terrible, only Cao Jing's cry echoed between the heaven and the earth, and even the heavens and the earth were silent and silent, as if expressing a silent silence for Cao Jing's misfortune.

Cao Jingqiang cheered up, buried his parents together, and buried all the clansmen in the middle of Cao Zhuang. The round tomb shows the grievances of the sky, and the huge nameless stele also silently shows the grief and helplessness of the person who erected the monument.

Cao Jing kowtowed heavily to the huge tomb, and swore in his heart that he would find the murderer and avenge his clansmen!

Cao Jing sat quietly in front of the tombs of Cao Shan and Wang Rong for three days, not moving, not speaking, not eating or drinking, and silent. Three days later, Cao Jing kowtowed to Cao Shan Wang Rong a few times and then got up and left without looking back, the silent tears when he left still did not hold back, and fell down in an uproar, but the eyes with tears were unusually firm, anyone who saw it knew that this person must have made a major decision.

Yes, Cao Jing swore revenge, but now he doesn't know who the murderer is and how to take revenge, and the scene has been washed by the rain, and he can't find any useful clues at all.

After Cao Jing left the destroyed Cao Zhuang, he did not delay for a second and went straight to Wushan Town. And he kept thinking about it in his heart, planning how to find the murderer, and how to take revenge after that, he also knew that the murderer who could kill everyone in Cao Zhuang was definitely not something he could deal with now, but at least now he must figure out who killed everyone in Cao Zhuang, even if he can't take revenge now, he can wait until he is strong and then take revenge. And now the longer the time drags on, the fewer clues there will be, and the farther the enemy may flee.

These are the things he thought of while meditating at the grave.
