Chen Huaji, who is like an arrow in his heart and has traveled under the stars, finally returned to the place he is most familiar with and misses the most - Guanwang Temple.

"Master, Master!" Before he reached the Zhong Pavilion, Chen Huaji couldn't help but call out.

There was no one outside, and the temple gate was hidden. Chen Huaji shouted to Master as he pushed open the thick wooden door—"Squeak......." There was silence in the hall, and there was no one at all, only the mighty statue of Emperor Guan stood on its own.

"Could it be that Master hasn't come back after so long?" Chen Huaji was full of doubts, and found that there were a few more medicinal herbs in the master's medicine cabinet next to the table.

"Master must have come back, but where can he go if he is not in the temple now? Don't you see that I am not looking for me?" Chen Hua walked out of the door, and was thinking about it, when he suddenly saw black smoke rising faintly in the distance. "Is there a fire in the village?" Thinking that Zhu Youcai had not yet been found, and that there was still his mother in the village, Chen Huaji was anxious and decided to go to the village first and then come back to wait for the master.

......

The original simple and clean Zhujiazhuang was in ruins, and there were traces of fire everywhere. The embers of several houses were still on fire, and black smoke was still billowing out. There were corpses strewn on the ground, villagers, and occasionally one or two officers and soldiers in armor! At a glance, there was not a single living person. Seeing this scene, Chen Hua was in a hurry, and rushed to Zhu Youcai's house in three steps and two steps. Before entering the hospital, I saw Zhu's mother lying in the small courtyard, Chen Huahe stepped forward to probe his nose, but where was his life?

"Talented brother! talented brother!" Chen Huahe ran into the house, the house was in a mess, and there was no one to see, so he endured the grief in his heart and went out to find the living.

But all over Zhujiazhuang, there were dead bodies, and no one was alive. There are those whose bodies are separated, those who are charred and black, those who have mutilated hands and feet, and those who have direct stomachs. Countless flies and insects swirled around the corpse, and if it was a hell on earth, it would be nothing more than that......

Huashuiyu is close to Zhujiazhuang, and now this village has suffered an unexplained catastrophe, and I don't know what the situation of Huashuiyu is. Thinking of this, Chen Huahe hurriedly rushed to Huashuiyu.

As expected, Huashuiyu is also devastated, and the condition is the same as that of Zhujiazhuang!

"Oh......" There was a faint moan in my ears. Chen Huaji hurriedly followed the sound, only to see a person lying prone in a corner, covered in blood. Chen Huahe helped him up, and when he looked at him, he couldn't help but be taken aback - it turned out to be Zhu Youcai's good brother, the fifth child!

Lao Wu had a half-foot-long knife wound in his abdomen, and his intestines were almost flowing out of his body. Chen Huaji almost cried when he saw it, knowing that it would be difficult for this person to live. Lao Wuqiang opened his eyes and glanced at Chen Huaji, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Xiao ...... The trail chief ...... "Then his head and neck were crooked, and he passed out."

In the two villages, only this one person who did not die, and they also knew each other, Chen Hua and the Divine Palm held down the Yutang acupoint of Lao Wu, and continuously transported his rich true qi into Lao Wu's body to continue his life. As soon as the "trail chief...... was really angry, the fifth child really woke up slowly, "The trail is long...... Where is Third Brother Zhu ......"

"Didn't the talented brother come back!" Chen Hua was anxious.

"The third brother is not ...... Was he taken away with you...... Why, why didn't he come back......" The old five's breath was intermittent.

"Something happened to him halfway, but I will continue to look for him!" Chen Hua said, "Old Five, what's wrong with these two villages? Who harmed you!"

"It's been less than a week since you were captured...... A large number of officers and soldiers suddenly came to the village, and they ...... They said they were looking for the missing General Liu, but ...... But where have we ever had a general in this small village...... The officers and soldiers could not find it, and they said that they would arrest Kang Youwei for the rebellion and blame the villagers for colluding with Kang Youwei to kill their generals...... But...... Whether it's that bullshit general or a rebel, we ...... I've never heard of it at all...... The officers and men led by him are young...... Fear...... I'm afraid he's not a few years older than you, he's so ruthless...... Seeing that the results could not be found, an order was issued...... The whole village was killed...... Woo woo woo ...... "After that, he cried bitterly.

When Chen Huaji heard this, he finally understood the reason for the massacre in the village, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Old Five, where did those officers and soldiers go?"

"After the officers and soldiers killed people and set fires...... Just as he was about to leave, a Taoist who called himself Yuan Zhen came...... That...... The Dao Chang was so powerful that he killed half of the officers and soldiers with a whisk...... The rest of the officers and soldiers protected the leader...... Ride a fast horse and flee back to the capital......" Lao Wu's voice became weaker and weaker.

"Master, it turns out that the corpses of the officials and soldiers on the ground were killed by Master!" Chen Huaji hurriedly continued to ask, "Where did that Daoist go again?"

"That'...... The Taoist saw that all the villagers had died...... Incurable...... He rode a military horse and chased in the direction where the officers and soldiers had fled...... It's time to go...... Let's go to the capital......" After the fifth child finished speaking, his head tilted to the side.

"Old Five! Old Five!" Chen Huaji called out to him as he continued to urge the internal force to inject the true qi into the body of the fifth child. Lao Wu opened his eyes with difficulty, and spat out a few words in his mouth: "Report...... Revenge ......" and then go away!

Chen Huaji was extremely sad in his heart, looking at the corpse of Lao Wu and the ruined village, he said word by word, "Lao Wu, don't worry, I will continue to look for talented brothers, and your great revenge will also be handed over to me to avenge!"

When the fire was blazing, Chen Hua and Zhao sat down and recited the mantra 108 times aloud to help the villagers to live in bliss.

During the cremation period, there was a sudden lightning and thunder in the sky above Huashuiyu and Zhujiazhuang, and countless black grievances rose into the sky, turning into white light in the rain, and hovering in the sky for a long time. After the incantation was recited, the white light hovering in the sky was like a lotus blooming, and then gradually dissipated. Clean skies, as if nothing had happened.

"May you all be free from suffering and be happy. Chen Hua got up, straightened his clothes, and took a big stride out of the village.

In the Guanwang Temple, Chen Huahe took out the "Qingyang Treasure Scroll" hidden behind the statue of Emperor Guan, carefully put it into his arms, came to the two tombs next to the temple, knelt down three times, and said: "Crazy uncle, senior, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to return here to visit you for a while." I'm going to the capital, first, to find the officer who killed and set fire, and to avenge the villagers! Second, I want to find the master and join him! Crazy uncle, you are the most painful, and you have the knowledge to bless and fulfill your wish. Senior, you asked me to hand over the "Qingyang Treasure Scroll" to the Yang Envoy Jun Tang Xian, so I will take the book with me, and one day I will have the fate to see it, and I will definitely return it with my own hands!"

After that, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, picked up two handfuls of new soil with both hands, and added them to the two graves. Turn around, face in the direction of the capital, and stride forward.
