The time is not in the past, not in the future, nor in the present, but in a winter month where time and space cannot be measured.
The white snowflakes passed through the misty clouds, and were carried by the cold wind and flew into the territory of Lan Kingdom in the west of Nanmengzhou. Then they floated swaying over Suiyuan Town, a small border town in the country, and finally fell on On the big red flower hanging on the chest of a weak-headed young man at the entrance of the town.
In such a windy and snowy weather, the earth has long been covered with a layer of slightly dazzling white silk. The big red flower on the young man's chest is particularly eye-catching in this vast white world.
The red flowers hung on the boy's body, adding a bit of spring pride to the boy's glorious face. The boy hummed a festive tune and kept switching his legs, making the two pen holders hanging on the cage behind him rhythmic. The ground collided, making crisp sounds of "clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang, clang and clang, as if playing accompaniment to this festive little tune.
The young man's name was Qin Xian, a scholar from Suiyuan Town. He had just returned from the provincial capital to take the exam.
A few days ago, when Qin Xian saw his name on the list of successful candidates, he rushed home from the provincial capital non-stop. He wanted to tell his parents the good news as quickly as possible to repay his parents. Ten years of hard work.
Qin Xian's parents made a living by farming and lived in poverty.
Over the years, in order to support his son's education, his father had to contract more land and was exhausted, and his mother's eyes were also damaged.
Qin Xian's eyes couldn't help but moisten when he thought about how his parents had lived frugally and suffered so much for so many years in order to support his education. They had never even eaten an egg.
"Father and mother, don't worry. Now that my son is in high school, he has become a member of the imperial family. Even his grandfather has to respectfully call him 'big master'. The hard days of our family are over. From now on, you can enjoy the happiness and happiness, and you can live happily ever after." If you work as an official, marry a wife, and then have a few fat boys, then you will not be able to enjoy all the blessings..."
Thinking of this, Qin Xian hummed a tune in his mouth unconsciously. After straightening his clothes, he held out the big red flower on his chest and walked proudly into Suiyuan Town in the spring breeze.
After walking into Suiyuan Town, Qin Xian's expected noise did not come as expected, but instead there was a lifeless silence.
There were no children playing and setting off firecrackers in the street, nor the crow of cocks or the barking of dogs to welcome him as the new grand master. Only wisps of gray-white smoke were slowly rising from the courtyards, looking slightly cold.
This abnormal scene did not dilute the joy in Qin Xian's heart, and he did not care, and continued to walk towards his home while humming a little tune.
"Ouch," Qin Xian, who was walking on the street, suddenly tripped over something and fell to the ground. "It's snowing so heavily, why don't you sweep the snow off the street?" Too……"
Before Qin Xian finished his complaint, he immediately stopped talking because he found that what tripped him was not a stone or brick, but looked like a person buried in snow.
Qin Xian did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly approached the man, and was about to help him up. But as soon as he turned around, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.
"Aunt Zhang!" Qin Xian exclaimed.
With her pale face, bloodless lips, one or two inch protruding eyeballs, and the bite marks on her neck that were deep into the blood vessels, it was obvious that this Aunt Zhang had been dead for a long time.
When had Qin Xian, who had just reached the weak crown, seen such a terrifying scene?
However, before he could get up from the ground, Aunt Li's body came into view again. The latter was lying behind the manhole railing, and her death condition was exactly the same as that of Aunt Zhang.
More than a month ago, these two people were pointing out the situation of Qin Xian's family, but now they died on the street. Such a scene made Qin Xian feel complicated.
Qin Xian suppressed the complex emotions in his heart that were a mixture of fear, sadness, and surprise, and gradually realized that something was wrong.
Judging from the death appearances of the two corpses, they were obviously extremely frightened before they died. Looking at the bite marks on their necks, it seemed as if something had sucked the blood away.
The two men had obviously been dead for a long time, but why didn't anyone collect their bodies?
Qin Xian thought about the thick snow on the street again. In his impression, although the residents of the small town were philistines, they were also very hardworking and not so lazy that they didn't even clean up the snow. Could it be that they were all like Aunt Zhang?
Qin Xiangang's heart suddenly tightened when he thought about it.
He quickly pushed open the door of Zhang San's house, but before he could call out "Uncle Zhang," four straight corpses came into his eyes.
All four members of the family were killed.
Zhang San was a loyal person. Qin Xian remembered that when he was a child, Zhang San would accompany children like them to dig out bird's nests and pick fruits...
Such a kind and honest man, but now he has died with his eyes open and his family has been destroyed.
Emotions of sadness and panic flooded into Qin Xian's heart like a tide, and his face that was originally full of pride suddenly turned as pale as the whole world.
Qin Xian left the small courtyard of Zhang San's family in a panic, and hurriedly opened the door of Li Si's family next door. The situation was exactly the same as that of Zhang San's family...
Qin Xian went to Zhao Wu's family, Chen Liu's family, Zheng Ba's family...
As a result, no one survived.
Just as Qin Xian thought, he was the only living person in Suiyuan Town at this time.
Behind the walls that blocked his sight, and under the wisps of gray smoke floating up, there were not bright smiling faces warming up around the stove, but cold corpses, each one long lost. The pale and frightened face lost its vitality.
The noisy and vibrant town of Suiyuan in the past has now become a purgatory-like slaughterhouse.
"Dad! Mom!"
Thinking of his parents, Qin Xian felt a sudden pain in his heart. He suppressed the panic in his heart and ran towards his small courtyard.
When Qin Xian rushed to the door of the courtyard and saw the thick snow in the courtyard, his heart suddenly sank. When he walked into the courtyard and saw the two familiar figures lying at the door of the room, he felt panic and uneasiness in his heart. Completely exploded.
"ah……"
Qin Xian, who suddenly fell from great joy to great sorrow, looked up to the sky and screamed in pain, his body trembling, and a mouthful of blood suddenly surged up his throat and sprayed wildly on the big red flower on his chest.
In the silver-covered town, the lifeless courtyards, the upright corpses, and the pale faces, this big red flower with Qin Xian's painstaking efforts on it looks particularly beautiful.
Seeing that his parents were both dead, Qin Xian seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed in the snow.
After a long time, he slowly crawled to the corpses of his parents, took off the big red flowers on his chest, hugged the corpses of his parents, and pretended to be happy:
"Dad! Mom! Do you see this big red flower? This is awarded to the child by the Provincial Examination Office in the provincial capital. If the child passes the exam, he will be the grand master of the nation from now on! Our family can finally enjoy a blessing!"
Qin Xianqiang smiled and finished the good news in one breath, but his parents lying on the ground were indifferent to it.
Seeing this scene, Qin Xian suddenly realized that his parents were no longer there. The parents who had worked hard to bring him up were no longer there. The parents who provided him with unconditional care and love were no longer there. In this blink of an eye, Qin Xian became a fatherless person. Love the orphan who has no mother's love.
Thinking of this, Qin Xian felt sad in his heart, the pain could no longer be suppressed, and tears fell uncontrollably.
Qin Xian cried, and a surge of hatred suddenly surged in his heart...
"Who is it?" Qin Xian roared, "My parents have suffered so much and suffered so much for me, but now we can enjoy happiness right before our eyes, and our family will live a good life soon, but you are... The earth has torn our humble wishes into pieces!"
"It's the Corpse Suppression Sect!"
Suddenly there was a flash of rainbow light, and a little Taoist priest with a strange mark on his eyebrows appeared very suddenly in the small courtyard. The little Taoist priest continued:
"The blood has been sucked out of all the corpses, and the remaining spiritual power fluctuations on them are so cold. Those guys from the Corpse Suppression Sect are right. Only the corpse puppets they sacrificed can do this!"
"Corpse Suppression Sect? Corpse Puppet? Immortal cultivator?" Qin Xian asked with red eyes.
He was not surprised by the way the little Taoist priest appeared, because in this world, mortals and immortal cultivators coexist. Although immortal cultivators rarely appear in the mortal world, mortals know the existence of immortal cultivators.
When Qin Xian found the first abnormally dead body, he had a vague feeling that the disaster in Suiyuan Town was not a natural disaster.
"That's right! The Zombie Suppression Sect is one of the top sects in the world of immortality. Controlling zombies is their specialty!" the little Taoist replied.
"No matter what the Immortal Cultivation Sect is, it kills my parents and massacres my town. Even if I risk my life, I, Qin Xian, will definitely destroy his sect and kill everyone!" Qin Xian clenched his fists tightly and hated it. said.
At this moment, the strange mark between the little Taoist priest's eyebrows suddenly lit up with a mysterious white light, and instantly transformed into two yin and yang fishes the size of peppercorns, and then started to rotate end to end.
After a while, a dark and deep vortex appeared between the little Taoist priest's eyebrows.
As soon as the vortex took shape, dazzling red lights emerged from Qin Xian's body again, and they were all submerged into this mysterious vortex.
But Qin Xian seemed to have no clue about this strange scene.
The little Taoist priest was not surprised. The mark between his eyebrows had been there since he was born. As he entered the path of immortality, the function of the mark slowly became apparent - absorbing the power of emotions.
It’s just that the young Taoist priest discovered that except for the old Taoist priest and himself, no one else could see the mark between his eyebrows. They couldn’t even see the mark, let alone the various magical changes when the mark absorbed the power of emotions.
The old Taoist priest had never heard of this mark. While marveling at it, he also gave it a very appropriate name - the Impermanence Seal!
The little Taoist priest knew that the reason why so much red light surged out of Qin Xian's body was because of hatred.
"Alas!" The little Taoist sighed and said, "It's not just your town. I just checked and found that there is no one alive except you within a hundred miles. It seems that the Corpse Suppression Sect has massacred all the mortals in Lianhua County. .”
The little Taoist priest asked again: "What are your plans next?"
Qin Xian suddenly knelt down on the ground, bowed to the little Taoist priest, and begged:
"I beg the Immortal Master to accept me as his disciple and teach me how to cultivate immortality!"
He wants to learn immortal magic and avenge his parents and the people in the small town.
