Chapter 6: The Xiao Family Tragedy

The fire pit in the Juyi Hall is very large, five feet square, although no one has added firewood for a long time, but a few large tree roots in the fire pit are still burning slowly, bringing some light to the hall.

On the edge of the fire was a skeleton with its mouth wide open, as if it was still roaring silently.

The skeleton was lavishly dressed, with a purple wood scabbard inlaid with gold and jade at its waist. On his right hand, which had no flesh and blood, he was still clutching a sword with a green light.

Xiao Ziyang sighed lightly, if he didn't guess wrong, this person should be the big dragon head of this Qinglong Village, the famous Dry Dragon King Han Kui in Ganbei!

He sat down next to the skeleton and stared at the wall in front of him.

A series of thrilling experiences tonight made Xiao Ziyang's long-sealed memories come back to his heart, and he couldn't hold it down anymore.

Xiao Ziyang is just a runner in the Golden Knife Dart Game, but no one in the Dart Game dares to treat him as an ordinary executioner.

He is the adopted son of Lei Genghu, the head of the Golden Sword Dart Bureau, and he is the out-and-out first master of the Golden Sword Dart Bureau.

Xiao Ziyang is only 17 years old this year. But his face, which was as rough as linen cloth and tempered by wind and frost, made it impossible to tell his true age in any way.

He was extremely tall, nearly nine feet, and he practiced martial arts all year round, making his body as strong as a bear, and every muscle on his body was as hard as a rock.

In the past, people often asked him why such a vulgar executioner like him who came in the wind and went in the rain had such a literary name.

Xiao Ziyang always smiled and didn't answer.

No one knows how much bitterness there is in his smile.

Xiao Ziyang's name was obtained by his father, his father's name is Xiao Shouqing, a student, an old student who has studied for more than ten years, but he didn't even pass the exam.

I remember when he was a child, his father often held him in his arms and whispered to him that on the day he was born, the sky was purple and the sun was purple, so he was given the name Ziyang. He said: "My son was born in response to the celestial phenomena, and he will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future, and he will definitely glorify his ancestors for the Xiao family......

Whenever he said this, Xiao Shouqing would sigh, just hug him like this, silently, Xiao Ziyang is very sensible, he can hear the bitterness in his father's sigh, whenever this time, he will be well-behaved, motionless leaning on his father's arms.

Xiao Ziyang has been smart since he was a child, he can speak at the age of one, and when he is less than three years old, he can write enlightenment articles such as thousand-character essays and three-character scriptures.

Under Xiao Shouqing's careful teaching, Xiao Ziyang was able to write a good article when he was nine years old, even his father sighed about Buddhahood.

Xiao Ziyang clearly remembered that day he took his article to his father like a treasure.

Xiao Shouqing read it carefully, he looked at the delicate but strong immature fonts on the rice paper, and the expression on his face seemed to be crying and laughing, and the joy and sorrow were indescribable.

Xiao Shouqing took his son's article and sat in the courtyard for an afternoon, and then he threw the article into the fire with tears in his eyes.

Xiao Ziyang looked at his father silently, not knowing what he had done wrong.

The next day, Xiao Shouqing sent his son to the Golden Sword and Dart Bureau in the county seat. Ask Lei Genghu, the big dart head of the dart board, to take his son as an apprentice.

Lei Genghu is one of Xiao Shouqing's few close friends. Although Da Darttou is illiterate, he admires this Mr. Xiao, who has read poetry and books and has extraordinary knowledge.

Xiao Ziyang didn't understand why his father no longer let him study literature. Learning martial arts is very hard, but he works very hard and does not want to disappoint his father.

He is a genius in learning literature, and he is also a genius in martial arts, and it only took three years to learn all the kung fu of Lei Da Dart, and he is better than blue.

Twelve-year-old Xiao Ziyang defeated his master, and he returned home in a hurry, but the scene in front of him shattered everything for him.

His father, a helpless old man, and his mother, a peasant woman who was dependent on her husband, were killed in the family.

The Xiao family tragedy is boiling in Dangyang County, not only because the deceased was a living member, but also because the Xiao family tragedy is very strange.

The head catcher of the Gu County Yazhong said that in the Xiao family tragedy, except for the victim and his wife who were killed in a very sophisticated way, not even a single thread was lost in the family.

The Xiao family has settled in Dangyang County for more than ten years, is kind to people, gets along with the neighbors very well, the owner is a scholar, and has a reputation in the local township, and has never heard of any enemies in the Xiao family.

The Xiao family tragedy became a headless public case. The boiling rumors came and went like a gust of wind, and soon they passed without a trace and were forgotten by the people.

For Xiao Ziyang, the death of his parents was like a thunderbolt from the blue, shattering all his hopes for the future.

The public of the yamen has forgotten, the villagers have forgotten, how can he forget the dead eyes of his parents!

Xiao Ziyang vowed to find out the murderer of his parents, and to take revenge at the ends of the earth.

Xiao Ziyang once carefully inspected the corpses of his parents, and he was surprised to find that the murderer turned out to be a martial arts master, and the scars on his parents' bodies were all in the same place, no matter how big or small!

Both parents were stabbed through the ribs with a sword, piercing the heart and dying, the wound was very small, and there was not even much blood flowing, but they killed people in an instant.

If this sword is shallow, it will not kill people at all, and if it is deeper, it will not only waste strength, but also cause a large amount of blood to spurt out of the wound, which will inevitably splash on the murderer.

This kind of swordsmanship, Xiao Ziyang has only heard of it in some rumors, and he has only exaggerated the rumors before.

But today, he saw this legendary swordsmanship in his parents!

What was the reason for this legendary master to assassinate his parents?

All kinds of abnormalities in his father's past suddenly appeared in Xiao Ziyang's heart, maybe his father has his own unknown past, and he has his own secrets that he doesn't know the Dao.

So Xiao Ziyang turned over the house inch by inch, and it took three whole days to finally find a clue, it was a letter, a letter that was very secret!

Since seeing this letter, Xiao Ziyang has decided not to mention revenge again.

It was a very ordinary-looking letter, not much unusual in terms of paper and handwriting, but not the names of the writer and recipient.

The recipient's name is Zang Zhilong, and the writer's name is Su Dingbei.

The Hidden Dragon doesn't know who it is. But Su Dingbei's name can be said to be resounding throughout the Xiliang Empire, when the head of the dynasty is the auxiliary, the ruler of the world, and the auxiliary country, this string of radiant nouns are all prefixes of this name.

After reading the letter, Xiao Ziyang was silent for a long time, and then he made a sheepskin bag with his own hands and tied the letter to his chest. Although the letter was on his chest, he had not touched it since that day, as if he had forgotten his existence and his parents' great enmity.
