The door of Aunt Liu's house was wide open, and outside the door he saw that Chu Yun had spent eighty-six taels of silver to buy a horse tied up outside. When he walked out of the door, Xiong Yingchun came from a distance carrying a pole and carried several baggage bags on both sides. All hung on both sides of "Jueying"'s body.
"Uncle Xiong, what are you..."
Xiong Yingchun put the pole aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said: "These are all given to you by the fellow villagers, just keep them. We don't have money to pay for them. You can take these things to eat on the road." , don’t be hungry.”
The baggage contained hard-boiled eggs, baked dough, steamed buns and the like. Tsurumi Chuyun felt her nose was a little sore after taking a look at it. She took a breath, holding back her tears and said, "Uncle Xiong, thank you. you……"
"Thank you for everything. You are part of my Xiong family. Don't say any kind words. Remember to come visit us in the future."
"I will."
"Just remember, aren't you going to find Mr. Qin? Go ahead."
"Hmm, then I'll leave first."
Hejian Chuyun then rode on horseback and signaled to Shen Yi. He understood it and immediately turned into a ball of light and penetrated into the finger of her conscious space.
Putting his feet on the horse's belly, Jueying moved his hooves forward slowly.
Xiong Yingchun waved his hand and watched her ride away.
After walking away, Shen Yi couldn't help but ask: "What are you doing with Mr. Qin? You never told me about this."
"It's just for safety's sake." Tsurumi Chuyun replied calmly.
She didn't sleep all night, tossing and turning in bed, thinking about Li Heng. If he had revealed his whereabouts to the outside world, the person who found Daoguo Township would definitely not be a good person.
She didn't dare to bet that if something went wrong, all 132 people in Daoguo Township might die.
This was the last thing she wanted to see, so she decided to discuss it with Mr. Qin before leaving.
When she arrived at Mr. Qin's residence, his sons immediately invited her in enthusiastically.
After sitting down, she stopped talking nonsense and immediately got to the point, telling Master Qin about her situation in the most serious tone.
"..."
"The world outside now still belongs to the Xiang family?"
"Yeah, but now most of the descendants of the Xiang family have changed their surname to Liang according to their country."
"Oh~ Then according to your opinion, when is the best time to start?"
"Of course, the sooner the better, today is enough. If it's too late, then..." He Jian Chuyun didn't say clearly what she said later, but Qin Cunxian also understood what she meant, and immediately nodded and said: "That's okay, I'll wait. I’m going to gather everyone next time and ask them to evacuate from the village as soon as possible.”
"Then Master Qin has thought about where to go after leaving the village?"
"You don't need to worry about this. I've lived here all my life. I know very well what mountains are around me. If I hide it, no one will be able to find it."
"In this case, the little girl will go first. You... take care of yourself."
After talking for less than a stick of incense and receiving confirmation from Mr. Qin, Hejian Chuyun was about to say goodbye and leave, but just as she stood up, the other party stopped her.
"Wait a moment." Then Mr. Qin also stood up and continued under the confused gaze of He Jian Chuyun: "Three hundred years ago, it was because of your ancestors' intervention that we were able to continue here. It is all thanks to your ancestors' blessing. , I didn’t expect to meet his descendants three hundred years later, this fate is really wonderful."
"Master Qin, you..."
"Hey, your family has suffered a great disaster, and there's nothing we can do about it, but we can do whatever we can to help."
At this time, Mr. Qin's second son came over with a dusty wooden box in his hand. He placed it on the table and opened it. The item inside was a token, but it had been there for many years and the surface was covered in pulp. , and I can’t tell what material it is made of.
Tsurumi Chuyun observed for a moment and found that although this thing looked extraordinary, it was actually just a very ordinary item with no magical effect.
"This is……?"
"This is the Tianzi Order of the Beishuang Guke Alliance. It was handed down from my master. I don't know if it can help you, but if you carry it with you, you may need it sometime."
After listening to Master Qin's words, Hejian Chuyun's expression was dull for a second, and Shen Yi in the conscious space called him a good guy.
"Good guy, Gu Kemeng, I'm still a genius."
Regarding the Guke League, Shen Yi heard it from others. Although he didn't know much about it, he had a rough idea. Simply put, it was a very large killer organization that belonged to the first-class force.
The Guke League is divided into two factions, one is called the Beishuang Guke League and the other is called the Nanxiao Guke League. Shen Yi doesn't know what the difference is between the two factions, but the killers in the Guke League all work alone. A killer is divided into four levels from big to small, heaven, earth, black and yellow, corresponding to the killer's strength.
If a killer from the Guke League holds the Xuan Zi Ling, he has the authority to mobilize the killers from the Huang Zi Ling. By analogy, the killer holding the Tian Zi Ling can mobilize the killers from the Earth, Xuan, and Huang Zi Lings.
Although I don't know how powerful the token is, if Mr. Qin can come up with this thing, his master is probably not a simple person.
Hejian Chuyun didn't expect this thing to have such a big origin. When she calmed down, she looked at Mr. Qin and shook her head vigorously.
"Qin...Master Qin, this thing...I can't bear it."
Qin Cunxian didn't care at all, waved his hand, picked up the token and forced it into her hand.
"Just accept it. There is no need to keep this thing with me. If it can really help you a lot in the future, it will be regarded as repaying the kindness of your ancestors back then."
"Master Qin..."
"Go on, go on, it's important to hurry up, dick!"
"father!"
"Let's see the guests off." Mr. Qin flicked his sleeves and walked into the back of the house with his hands behind his back.
And his second son also stepped forward and made a gesture of invitation to Tsurumi Chuyun.
"Miss Jiang, be careful on the road."
…
After coming out of Mr. Qin's house, He Jian Chuyun's mind was still a mess. When she rubbed the paste on the token with her hands and saw a dragon and phoenix dancing on it, she took a deep breath and went to bed. horse.
Jueying slowly left the village, heading towards the Lianmian Mountains in the distance.
"Oh, there is really smoke coming out of the ancestral graves. The old witch has received such a big gift. Are you happy? Are you happy? Are you excited? Doesn't it look like celebrating the New Year?"
"Don't make trouble with me!"
Tsurumi Chuyun's eyes looked at the "tian" character on the token for a while, and then he carefully put it into the storage space.
Shen Yi looked ahead through her perspective, suddenly remembered something, and said, "Hey, old witch, last night Erdan said he wanted to see you off and asked you to wait for him, why didn't you wait?"
"Uh..." After Shen Yi said this, He Jian Chuyun only remembered this.
"Is it possible to go back?"
"It's up to you."
"Forget it..." Shaking her head, she then put all the baggage hanging on both sides of the horse into the storage space, then clamped her legs around the horse's belly, speeding up a bit.
Shen Yi curled his lips and said nothing.
Every boy hopes to have a sister when he is a child. The old witch has perfectly played the role of a gentle big sister this month, which is a killer for a child.
Now that she is gone, that boy Xiong Erdan is afraid that he will cry to death.
And just as Shen Yi thought, in the village at this moment, Xiong Pei, who had just woken up, immediately rushed into the side room where Tsurumi Chuyun originally lived. When he found that no one was there, he ran out of the yard and looked around, but regardless of whether he No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find Tsurumi Chuyun.
He fell down a few times outside the village, and finally crawled in front of his house covered in mud, yelling, and rolling around.
"I want my sister! My sister is gone!"
"Dad! I hate you!"
"Why don't you wake me up! Whoa whoa whoa!"
"Sister, where have you been? Wow..."
"elder sister……"
"..."
He shouted for a long time, but when He saw that Chuyun didn't call, he called Aunt Liu instead, picked up a bamboo stick and beat him severely.
…
"By the way, can you use your disguise technique on me?"
"What?"
"Just give me the appearance of another contracted beast, can you?"
"This... seems a bit difficult. What do you want to disguise yourself as?"
"Hanjia Parade Beast, just change my appearance, don't worry about the rest."
"Why are you doing this??"
"Oh, I dreamed about that man again, and this time he asked me to show him what I look like."
"Do you have to show it to him?"
"What do you know? I also want to know what he looks like."
"..." Tsurumi Chuyun was silent for a moment. Shen Yi's appearance appeared in his mind, and then it quickly faded into a model with countless lines. The appearance of the cold-armored wandering beast is really very different from Shen Yi's appearance. Let's not talk about it for now. It took a lot of effort to restore the horn-like scales on both sides of Shen Yi's head, nose, eyes and ears.
But finally she nodded and said, "Can I give it a try, now?"
"Now? Not now, it's not urgent." Shen Yi shook his head, opened his mouth and sucked the red silk thread in front of him into his mouth, spinning around thinking about how to answer Chen Xingyun next.
She had already ridden far away, and when she looked back, she could no longer see the village.
Except for the sound of the wind blowing through the flowers and grass and the sound of horse hooves trampling on the ground, everything around him was quiet.
Trees one after another came closer and then retreated from the field of view. I don’t know how long this scene will exist. Tsurumi Chuyun, who has left Daoguo Township, can’t get used to it. For a while, he felt a sense of loneliness in his heart. , but thinking that there was Shen Yi in her mind, she suddenly felt less lonely.
After not hearing him speak for a long time, she couldn't help but call out.
"Xuanli?"
"what?"
"I...I'm asking you a question, can you answer it properly?"
"what is the problem?"
"It's... it's..."
"You tell me, why are you stammering?"
"If there was no contract, would you... still use your blood to save me?" She asked vigorously, but then her tone became weak again.
She's not very confident.
And it was a bit silly to ask this question, but she wanted to know.
Shen Yi didn't expect that she would ask this at all, so he was stunned for a second. When he came to his senses, he subconsciously shook his head and said no.
There's no contract, so what do you care about the old witch?
She walks on her single-plank bridge, and I walk on my sunshine path. Isn't this good?
He has no tendency to self-mutilate. Bloodletting will hurt. Although Shen Yi is not afraid of pain, it does not mean that he has no resistance to pain.
Apart from his parents, there was probably no third person who could let him bleed to save others. He saved the old witch because Shen Yi didn't want to die.
But later, he noticed the expectation in Tsurumi Chuyun's tone, and the words on his lips stopped again.
Forget it, it’s better not to hurt her heart.
So he asked back: "Why do you ask this?"
"I'm just asking, tell me, would you save me without a contract?"
"No, what are you crazy about?"
"I'm not crazy!"
"Are you not crazy to ask this question?"
"You...just tell me if you know how to do it, okay?"
"Tsk..."
"Please speak!"
"you guess?"
"I won't guess!"
"If you don't guess, forget it."
"……Won't?"
"I have no idea."
Tsurumi Chuyun's beautiful eyes flashed with brilliance: "Yes?"
"I have no idea."
"What, will it happen?"
"I've already told you that I don't know if it's bothering you or not. You're talking as if I'm going to die and you'll give yourself a knife to bleed out to save me."
"I won't ignore you."
"Come on you."
"If you don't say so, forget it."
"cut."
…
In the afternoon, a group of forty or fifty soldiers wearing heavy armor stood on a hill to the west of Daoguo Township. The man at the head stared at the fields below for a moment and said, "Li Heng."
"My subordinate is here." Li Heng, who was behind him, gritted his teeth and rode up to him on horseback, and responded to the man with his hands raised.
"How far is it?"
"It's only two miles down the road and we'll be there."
"Are you sure that Tsurumi Chuyun is really in the village?"
"What my subordinate said is absolutely true. Tsurumi Chuyun was seriously injured at some point. He and his life god have been recovering from their injuries in the village for several months."
"Ha..." The leading man snorted, straightened his clothes and ignored Li Heng. He pointed to the road below and shouted: "Brothers, just wait for me to go to that village and take Tsurumi." Shi Chuyun, go and get the elixir from the snake demon cave, and you will be worry-free and happy for the rest of your life!"
His words instantly inspired the surrounding soldiers and they rushed into the fields on horseback.
Under the trampling of horse hooves, the crops that had not yet grown in the ground became a mess.
But when they arrived at the entrance of the village, everyone was stunned.
The village was quiet and quiet, with no one around. The more than 100 villagers who lived here yesterday had long since disappeared.
"Where is this...person?"
Li Heng rode at the front, looking at the deserted village, his already pale face became even paler.
He looked at the leading man and stayed for a while. Before anyone could ask him, he stammered: "I...I don't know, they...they all ran away! They should be nearby! Not yet. Go away!"
The leading man snorted coldly, said nothing, and controlled the horse under him to enter the village.
All the villagers living here have left. Judging from the debris at the door of some houses, the villagers left in a hurry and only took away some necessary items. Many chickens, ducks and cattle are still in the pen. The cry attracted the attention of these soldiers.
The leading man spread his awareness and scanned around and around for hundreds of miles, but couldn't find even a single person.
After stopping there for a while, he suddenly saw him waving his hand forward. Upon seeing this, the soldiers behind him dismounted and searched house to house. Although they felt a little disappointed, their hands were not idle. As long as they could take away anything, they would No residue is left.
His movements were quick and skillful, and he obviously did this kind of thing often.
Half an hour later, all the animals that were still in the village were driven to one place. Without saying a word, the leading man took out a torch, lit it, and threw it directly towards the nearest house. When the remaining soldiers saw it, they also He did as he was told, and after a while, the fire spread and the whole village turned into a sea of flames.
