The mottled waterwheel is turning leisurely, and as usual, it stirs up water and brings sweet spring to the people in the valley. Not far away, there was the sound of women pounding clothes, and their children were rolling and playing in the small garden not far away.
Children happily climb branches to see who is braver, and then dig out the highest bird's nest; they also like to chase insects and butterflies among the grass, catching scary insects for fun or pranks, and secretly Tuck it in from the clothes behind the female companion. When they are tired and sleepy, they will panting and return to their mother to act like a baby.
This kind of extremely peaceful life, which seems glamorous and beautiful, is actually a short-lived and hypocritical peace that was obtained at the expense of the lives of countless innocent people who were used as "human sacrifices" in the past.
And while they may seem glamorous, they are actually just the next batch of cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and they are just temporarily kept in a cage where they can enjoy themselves.
When unprecedented changes are coming, when a person comes who is ready to tear apart lies and break through the sky of ignorance, they naturally have to defend the sins they have become accustomed to, and then do not forget to denounce outsiders as murderers and robbers!
There was only a faint trace of sunlight left in the misty sky, and the whole area was gray.
After a while, fierce calls for help slowly came from all around.
The people who were happily drawing water by the water wheel, chatting and joking by the gurgling stream, suddenly came to their senses. The child playing among the flowers crazily crawled behind his mother and kept singing in the treetops. The skylark with a special tune also suddenly left its place and went straight to flap its wings in the opposite direction from where the sound came.
What appeared next were groups of strong men. They muttered sensational words and their eyes were blank, as if they were shocked by what they saw with their own eyes, and their bodies even reacted more unnaturally because of it.
Their limbs become dull, and sometimes they are unable to move their legs due to violent tremors. The only thing they can do easily is to kneel down on the ground and bury their heads with their hands, like a person who hides his ears and steals the bell, thinking that doing so will not help him. Someone will find out.
Some people want to stand up and shout for help even if they kneel down, but in the end they can only wag their tails and sob in a low voice: "Run away, run away, go and ask for the immortal!"
Those who were still resisting were also parrying and retreating. Ordinary country warriors were completely unable to compete with the opponent - the young swordsman only needed to make a slight gesture of pressing forward to drive away this rabble.
"Could it be that this is the swordsman they met yesterday?"
After that, the last Xiang Yong who was left behind to resist also threw away his hoe along with his companions in front and fled.
Then, Bai Feng randomly selected one of the people kneeling on the ground, let him walk in front of him, and said, "Take me to the young man in green who is imprisoned on the gallows."
The man dressed as a country squire raised his hands and stood up. Seeing that the young swordsman in front of him was covered in blood but without a single scar, he couldn't help but feel frightened and asked, "You... what are you going to do? Just because you are a man and a woman, Don't even think about breaking through the 'Three Talents Sword Formation' set up by our immortal!"
"Stop being so verbose, take me there quickly!" Bai Feng raised his sword and pointed it directly at the squire's brow without thinking. He put on a tone that would kill anyone if he was dissatisfied at all, and replied: "I told you, you are really useless. Can be saved."
After hearing this, the squire could only lead the way and lead the other party to the center of Hongye Town. It was located at a crossroads and was a place that everyone, both men and women, old and young, had to pass by on a daily basis.
They walked along several flat stone roads, attracting everyone's attention wherever they passed. The townspeople were surprised that there was a fairy-like figure who was as unstained as mud beside the bloodstained swordsman.
Under such a strong contrast, everyone's curiosity was aroused. Many people walked out of the house with doubts and quietly followed Bai Feng and his party.
This young swordsman caused so much trouble in Hongye Town that almost everyone who had not witnessed the killing just now followed him to the crossroads, including the notorious Taiping Taoists.
In front of the gallows where Su Qing and Tao Wuyong were standing, there had always been no shortage of spectators.
I don’t know what Taipingdao’s intentions were, but there was a big piece of cake hanging between the two of them.
When a person who has not eaten or drank properly for several days and nights sees this pie, no matter whether the companion on the other side is his biological father or mother, he will have evil thoughts and want to take the pie as his own. What's worse, he will Because I am afraid that the other party will eat up the cake while I am not paying attention, I will plan to finish the cake first.
Therefore, Su Qing and his adoptive father Tao Wuyong often quarreled over the big pie. Even though their necks were tied with ropes and their hands and feet were chained, this did not prevent them from having hilarious moments. dispute. Naughty children and ill-intentioned adults loved such a good show, so they often gathered in front of the gallows to joke with the father and son.
Bai Feng and Murong Yan's visit was unexpected by everyone. Including Su Qing and Tao Wuyong, who are still complaining and retaliating against each other on the gallows. Each of them gnaws at one side of the pie, and a few words come out of their mouths from time to time.
"If I hadn't saved you, why would I have thrown myself into a trap and jumped into the trap set in advance by Taiping Dao!"
"Isn't it only natural for a son to save his father? Oh, is it possible that you just want to abandon him because he's not his biological father? What's more, this time you hooked up with someone you shouldn't have hooked up with, and your dad and I were hurt!"
"If I hadn't had the support of Mr. Mei, I'm afraid you would have died a long time ago, shameless old man! Now you are robbing me of food. I am still young, young master. You are not young anymore and you have enjoyed enough blessings. How hungry are you? God doesn’t mind.”
The audience in the audience was so excited that they did not notice that a large group of people had already walked behind them.
Bai Feng jumped onto the gallows without hesitation, cut off the two ropes that bound his neck, and released Su Qing and Tao Wuyong privately.
Su Qing was naturally surprised when he saw this. He immediately propped up his weak body and asked anxiously: "This young hero, may I ask what this is..."
Faced with the overwhelming comments and doubts from Su Qing and the residents of Hongye Town under the gallows, Bai Feng smiled and said, "Just wait and see the good show! Mr. Su."
"What are you doing standing around, Su Qing, let's run away!" Tao Wuyong said as he packed up his tattered clothes.
"Dad Tao, we can't escape. Your good son has been hungry for several days, and now he's probably no longer as good as an ordinary man. Why don't we just watch Mr. Bai's show?"
Tao Wuyong looked at the young swordsman in surprise, his eyes seeming to say: "How dare he come here alone?" However, after a moment, the woman behind Bai Feng found a convenient place to sit upright. Na, holding a pipa in her hand, was as sacred as a witch about to perform a sacrifice. She looked at the people in the audience with great pity and almost shed tears.
Only then did Tao Wuyong realize, "Could it be the legendary witch?"
"Everyone, the people of Hongye Town, please open your eyes and see all this clearly!" Bai Feng raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it straight into the sky, and said firmly: "Taipingdao trapped you here, and brought you What? People are being persecuted every day. Which household has not had its "human sacrifice" taken away by the Taiping Taoists? Today, I will prove one thing in front of you. The real art of immortality is in my hands. , in our hands!”
"Shut up, you arrogant person!" Before he could finish his words, the Taiping Taoists finally arrived belatedly.
Don't you know that Bai Feng's remarks have already set off a hurricane to drive away blind obedience and falsehood? This cloudy sky seems to be about to be washed away to a broad road.
