The moonlight shines on Feng Yueyi, and Sun Zikai is in the dark. The person who understands Sun Zikai best at this moment should be the yellow-haired giant beast. It can feel the looming murderous intention in the darkness, and it guesses that the devil-like young man , was weighing the pros and cons in his heart, and the girl's life and death was also determined by the outcome of the decision.
Feng Yueyi was too young to feel any malice. She walked towards Sun Zikai, carefully avoiding the claws of the giant beast. The moonlight seemed to follow her. After getting closer, she asked again: "Why don't you speak? , you are an outer disciple, why are you in the Xianyuan?"
Sun Zikai chose to speak but did not make a move, which made the beast beside him breathe a sigh of relief. He asked: "I clearly sensed that a little beast was approaching, why is it you?"
"I know pictography." After saying that, Feng Yueyi transformed into a deer.
Sun Zikai marveled at the subtlety of this technique. After transforming into a beast, even the human's vitality and energy became beast-like.
Feng Yueyi said innocently: "You haven't answered me yet. Where did you come in from? How did you tame this beast? This is a descendant of Jian, a high-level beast. People below the seventh level of Qi training, even it Not even a paw can bear it.”
At this time, Sun Zikai felt that it would be great if he could master the technique of erasing the other party's memory. After weighing it, he did not choose to do anything to Feng Yueyi, but said lightly: "This is a secret, can you keep it secret for me?"
Feng Yueyi paused for a while and then said: "I can keep it secret, but you have to teach me how to tame it."
"I also discovered it by accident. This guy seems to like to eat..." Sun Zikai's eyes swept around, but he couldn't find a suitable substitute. In the end, he could only take out a piece of bread from his arms, "Yes, he likes to eat." Pancakes.”
"Ah?" Feng Yueyi said suspiciously, "It eats meat, and it also eats humans!"
"Really, if you don't believe me, just look at it." Sun Zikai stretched the dough towards the beast's mouth. The thin pancake was not even as long as one of the beast's teeth. The beast's eyes were confused, but at the same time, it also felt Sun Zikai's... With a murderous look in its eyes, the furry beast immediately opened its mouth and carefully licked away the sesame-like dough piece with its tongue.
The beast's acting skills are very exaggerated. After eating a sesame seed, it seems as if it has eaten a big meal. It rolls on the ground happily and looks very obedient.
"This is really... great!" Feng Yueyi shouted excitedly, "It turns out that you can tame beasts with flour cakes! I want to tell Master!"
Sun Zikai grabbed her and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to keep a secret for me?"
"Don't worry, I'll just say I discovered it myself."
"Only useful for this beast, not the others."
"That is also an important discovery. By the way, what is your name?"
After Sun Zikai hesitated for a moment, he replied: "My name is Sun Zikai."
"Oh, Sun Zikai, thank you, goodbye!" Feng Yueyi turned into a deer and immediately ran into the dark forest.
Sun Zikai was speechless. After standing for a moment, he looked at the yellow-haired beast lying on the ground again and said, "Pretend, do you understand?"
The beast hesitated twice and nodded.
Sun Zikai realized that it would not be easy to enter the Xianyuan in the future, so that night he did not care about being exposed, and searched for animals in the black forest to get blood. The blood dyed the black forest red, and Sun Zikai was also tempered again and again. , and constantly improve your own strength.
The next morning, Sun Zikai returned to Anshengju. Jiang Yujin happened to go out and asked, "You didn't come back last night?"
"Yes, I am practicing in the forest, and I will not go there again."
"why are you not going?"
"The body tempering has reached its limit again. The beast's blood can no longer allow me to go any further." Relying on the nourishment of the beast's blood for many days, Sun Zikai tempered the blood essence to the sixth level. At this time, his strength has reached the limit of an adult. Two thousand and forty-eight times the power.
Jiang Yujin wanted to study the technique he brought back yesterday, but Sun Zikai said that he had something to do immediately and hurried out as soon as he entered.
In the early morning, a group of elders and inner disciples broke into the Xianyuan. Wu Lanmu personally came to the scene and caught the yellow-haired beast. They prepared three large baskets of noodles and placed them in front of the beast.
The beast remembered the devil's threat last night, so he could only continue to pretend that he liked the bread. How could his meat-eating mouth tolerate the tasteless bread? It couldn't even chew it, so it could only swallow it down with all its strength.
Wu Lanmu also opened her eyes and said: "It's really strange. You little girl really didn't tell lies. Just look at it and you shed tears of joy."
"Really?" Feng Yueyi said, "I didn't believe it last night, but it wasn't until he demonstrated it to me that I finally believed it!"
"Oh?" Wu Lanmu pointed a jade finger at Feng Yueyi's head and said, "Girl, didn't you say you discovered it yourself?"
"Oops!" Feng Yueyi covered her mouth and stammered: "I didn't say anything, Master, you didn't hear anything."
"You guy, you haven't been able to lie since you were a child, and you can't keep your mouth shut. I knew you were lying to me last night!"
"No, no, master, I promised not to tell anyone, so don't ask anymore."
"I know his name is Liu Chengfan!"
"No, his name is Sun Zikai." After saying this, Feng Yueyi realized that she had been deceived, and lay down on the ground with her head raised in a big letter shape, "Oh, I promised not to tell, Master, you are annoying!"
An elder rushed over in a hurry and said, "Master, there was a group fight here last night. All the large beasts were injured, and the forest to the west was stained red with blood."
"How many died?"
"None of them are dead, they're all just injured."
Wu Lanmu made a suspicious sound, and the elder said: "My subordinates also found it incredible. Looking at the beast's injuries, the battle last night should have been fierce, but there were no traces of fighting in the forest."
"I understand. In the past two days, we will send more people to keep an eye on the beasts in the middle of the garden. We will also send people to inquire about a person named Sun Zikai in the inner gate. He may be an elder or a disciple."
While Wu Lanmu was speaking, she paid attention to Feng Yueyi's expression lying on the ground. When she saw Feng Yueyi's flash of cunning, she immediately changed the subject and said, "It shouldn't be from the inner sect, but from the outer sect." .”
Feng Yueyi made a sound, and Wu Lanmu raised the corners of her mouth successfully. She bent down, grabbed Feng Yueyi's clothes and lifted her up in front of her, without saying anything, her eyes seemed to be smiling and evil.
Feng Yueyi pouted, glanced away, her face flushed, and hesitated: "I don't know anything."
"Is he an elder?" Wu Lanmu said calmly.
"I don't know anything." Feng Yueyi never dared to look her master in the eyes.
"He is a disciple!"
"Ah! No, no!"
Wu Lanmu frowned and stood up, with a reproachful tone in his voice, and said coldly to the elder: "Why can the outer disciples enter the Xianyuan?"
"This..." The elder didn't know how to respond. After a while, he said, "It's impossible...people from the outer sect broke in and couldn't survive in this position."
"Immediately go check on the guy named Sun Zikai among the outer disciples and bring him to me!"
"Yes!" The elder ran away immediately with three disciples.
Feng Yueyi's face was so red that her eyes were dizzy. She lay on the ground and cried, "Master, how could you do this? I promised not to tell anyone."
"You said it yourself."
"Woooooooo..."
It is said that Sun Zikai walked all the way and quickly arrived at the outer gate of Yanmingzong in the west. The east side of the repair house is divided into four pavilions, namely Gu, Ming, Bo and Yuan, while the west side is all medicine pavilions.
Sun Zikai expected that he would be in big trouble soon, so he had to advance the schedule of that matter.
He kept asking around at the western retreat, and finally found out the name just before noon.
After finding the remote pharmacy, the strong smell of medicine made people sick. Sun Zikai stepped into the courtyard and saw many women holding water chestnuts and sifting medicinal materials. They had been busy here for many years and had long been accustomed to the smell of medicine. A large black pot was boiling a smelly medicinal soup. Looking into the soup, a toad as big as a dog was turning its belly.
The smoke was billowing, and it was not a trivial matter to get into the eyes, so everyone covered themselves with fine gauze. Sun Zikai stepped into it, but the women did not react in any way to this outsider.
After searching for a long time, Sun Zikai finally stopped in front of a person. The woman was sifting through medicinal flowers and did not take the person next to her seriously.
Sun Zikai called softly: "Aunt Ying."
The woman didn't hear her, so Sun Zikai called out a few more times. Maybe it was because the sound of the sifting in the courtyard was too noisy, so the woman never heard her, so Sun Zikai had no choice but to pull her and call out again.
The woman couldn't let go of what she was doing, so she turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
"Aunt Ying."
"What medicine?"
Sun Zikai shouted loudly: "Aunt Ying! Is it Kui Ying? Aunt Ying!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, looked at Sun Zikai, and asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm Xiaokai, Sun Zikai."
The water chestnut fell to the ground and the medicinal flower broke into pieces.
"who?"
"Sun Zikai, it's me, Aunt Ying."
"Xiao...Xiao Kai? You, you have grown so big, you...why are you here?"
After half a stick of incense…
The one-and-a-half-foot-wide hut has only one bed, but the roof is quite high. There are many wooden boards nailed to the wall, and it is filled with all kinds of sundries. There is no place to stay on the ground, anywhere where things can be stuffed. , they were all stuffed, and you couldn’t turn around without touching the hanging clothes. There was only one window, one foot wide and high, which only made the room brighter at noon.
Living in such a small place is really depressing, but there are still two people living here.
Sun Zikai sat on the bedside and waited quietly. Soon after, the door opened and a woman came in carrying two three-layer lunch boxes and said, "Your uncle won't be back at noon, we won't wait for him. eat."
Lift a wooden board from the ground and place it across the nails protruding from the wall. This is the dining table, which happens to have only two stools.
The woman said: "Be careful not to get pricked. Your uncle pricked his head several times. Come here and eat."
Sun Zikai walked over and sat on the stool. The woman took out the food, divided the chopsticks, and Sun Zikai immersed himself in eating.
The last time we met was in the rain. Eight years had passed. The woman was already thirty-two years old. Her skin might have been yellowed by the medicine, her eye sockets were still a little sunken, and there were scars on her hands and arms from the medicine. My figure is also out of shape.
The woman gave Sun Zikai a piece of meat, and Sun Zikai ate it very relaxedly, as if he was eating with his mother's family.
"I thought you were living in the city, but I really didn't expect you to be able to enter the sect and enter the monastery. Were you attracted by any elder?"
Sun Zikai held the food in his mouth and said, "I earned my spot by myself."
"Earn? How to earn? Who wants you to work when you are so young?"
Sun Zikai swallowed it and said: "Aunt Ying, not long after I left you last time, I went to Ansheng Pass and killed barbarians for six or seven years outside Ansheng Pass."
"You can still kill barbarians? You don't want your life."
"Simple, not that difficult. Go to the Fourteenth Cities and ask around. My name is still very famous." Sun Zikai had never boasted like this to others. Maybe he hadn't regarded himself as a child for a long time.
"Can you still make money by killing barbarians?"
"It's not money, it's military merit. Killing one person counts as one, and if you kill four hundred people, you can enter the sect."
The woman was surprised and said: "You killed four hundred people? It's impossible."
"I've killed thousands of people."
The woman smiled gently, naturally she didn't believe it. Sun Zikai saw that she didn't believe it, so he simply buried his head in eating.
After finishing the meal happily, Sun Zikai wiped his mouth and said, "Aunt Ying, aren't you exhausted living here with your uncle? You can't even see the sun."
The woman smiled and said: "I only come back at night when I go to bed, and I spend the rest of the time in the pharmacy."
"Is that also a form of spiritual practice?"
The woman laughed at herself: "What kind of cultivation? It's just labor. In fact, there is no difference between cultivation and miscellaneous places in the West. They are all the workshops of Lord Yao."
"If you don't practice, what are you doing here?"
The woman also started chatting and said: "The people who came in at the beginning were all here to practice. They recruited people from the city. As soon as we heard that we could practice, we all hurried over, and then we were tricked. They said Come in and ask for money. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it. Let us write an IOU and pay it back by working on weekdays. Sooner or later, we can pay it back. As soon as we thought about it, we can enter the sect and don’t have to pay for it ourselves, so we all came. At the beginning, we still brought We walked around the place where we practiced, and we were taught how to breathe and temper our bodies. After that, we were assigned to various medicine courtyards. After we settled in, we discovered that housing, food, and clothing all cost money. Things in the sect It’s still very expensive. We work and make medicine every day, and we only have enough money. If we could eat better, there would be no money left. If we work less, we won’t have enough money. If we work too much, we won’t be able to practice. No one will care about our practice anymore. So gradually, we became pure laborers."
"Then run."
The woman smiled bitterly and said: "At first, you wanted to run away, but they caught you and beat you. Later, they didn't care about you because you couldn't run away. How can a person with a family and a family give up the job of eating so easily? Just save the money and leave it to the kids in the city."
"Do you have a child?"
"Yeah." The woman's eyes showed sparkle, "He's three years old. You should really take a look at him. He's as fat as a ball, his body is soft, and his legs are really strong."
Sun Zikai laughed, and then asked: "So this is the situation in the sect. It's really shocking. This is a place for cannibalism."
The woman shook her head and said: "It has nothing to do with the sect, it's the Ma family. The Yanming sect's medicine school is almost completely eaten by the Ma family. Their power has been rooted for many years and they have turned half of the Yanming sect into their own medicine shop. Everyone said that within five years, In the past ten years, all members of the Yan Mingzong family belong to the Ma family. The trap of luring city people to work as laborers was created by the Ma family. This made them rich in the world. I heard that there are Ma family members in those big cities in front of Lingqian. Industry. The sect actually has nothing to do, the Ma family is too powerful, they can only stare at the smoky Yao Sect."
"I see, I understand." Sun Zikai changed the subject and asked directly: "Does the death of my parents have something to do with the Ma family?"
The woman was stunned. She couldn't say anything when faced with the five-year-old child many years ago, but at this moment, this thirteen-year-old boy was actually still a child.
Sun Zikai said: "I remember my mother mentioned something to my father before she left home. I couldn't hear clearly, but I heard my mother complain about the Ma family. From what you said, my parents should be laborers too, and they probably live here too. In the hut, workers are valuable only when they live. The only ones who can decide their life or death are the Ma family. If you didn't tell me back then, it was probably because of the Ma family's power. I still have the same problem as before. How can small people like my parents? Will it be their turn to die?"
The woman hesitated to speak. She obviously knew the truth, but she was still afraid of something. Sun Zikai said calmly: "After so many years, Aunt Ying, I have long been mentally prepared. I know whether my parents were unjust or hated for their death." , Aunt Ying, you don’t have to be afraid of threats from the Ma family, because they won’t keep us people in their hearts. Even if my parents die unjustly, they are still small people and have a small role. They have long forgotten it.”
Aunt Ying nodded, she wanted to say it, but looking at Sun Zikai's face, she couldn't bear it. Sun Zikai immediately understood what the woman meant and said: "Aunt Ying, it's been a long time since I thought I was a child, fighting for my life with wild beasts. Surviving under the sword of a barbarian, I have experienced no less than you, so don’t worry about what reckless things I will do, otherwise I wouldn’t be alive to this day, tell me Aunt Ying, how my parents died.”
"They were killed by the Ma family." After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to have poured out all her eight years of worry and suffering. She shed hot tears, covered her eyes, said it again, and then shouted it again, and kept saying , kept saying...
Sun Zikai listened calmly until after a long time, the woman raised her head with swollen eyes. What she saw was still the indifferent and childish face.
Sun Zikai said: "How did you get killed?"
The woman opened up her memories and said: "Your parents are actually very enlightened. In our group, they are the only two who have never given up practicing. They were only taught how to temper the body with breath, and they practiced while groping. During the day, they were in medicine They worked in the hospital and practiced in this small room at night. They really broke through to the level of Qi Condensation. They were also transferred to the upper-level pharmacy to work as an exception. There was an elder in the pharmacy. He never had a good face, and would appear from time to time. I beat your mother, and your father tried to stop him, but he was beaten together. Just like that, your parents gritted their teeth and endured it, because by following the elders, they could find out the way to practice."
"Then what is the elder's name and where is he now?"
"Han Lei," the woman said bitterly, "I can't forget this name. Your mother was beaten by him once and aborted her child. You...you don't know, you should have a younger brother or younger sister."
Sun Zikai's expression changed, but he quickly regained his composure and allowed the woman to continue speaking.
"Later, he climbed up to the Ma family and went to the inner gate. He was sent to the back of the mountain to look at the south gate, which is the gate we saw when we climbed up from the city. It was a good job. He suddenly withdrew from the clan half a year ago. It seems that he went to Ling Qianguang settled in the city and became rich suddenly. Someone spread the news that he got a big gold brick from somewhere, which made him willing to give up his status as an elder in the inner sect and live a common life."
Sun Zikai's expression was terrifyingly calm. He moved his body and said, "Well, remember, Han Lei, go into the city and then."
"The reason why Han Lei got involved with the Ma family was because of the big event that year. The Medicine Sect and the Tianyao Sect hundreds of miles west of Lingqian planned to jointly hold a medicine conference. The location was chosen within the Tianyao Sect. This A large number of entourage was needed, so Han Lei reported the names of everyone in the pharmacy, and the Ma family even brought us laborers with them, saying it would open our eyes, but in fact they were just slaves and maids."
The woman continued: "On the third day of the Medicine Fair, the big shots suddenly competed. As a result, during the competition, a female disciple of the Medicine Sect accidentally killed a disciple of the Tian Yao Sect. I heard that the big shots were very unhappy. The Yao Sect felt humiliated and was very unhappy. The Yao Sect privately gave them a lot of good things, which calmed their anger. But what they meant was that we also had to die, and they were good disciples. For the sake of it, For the sake of good things, let’s just die.”
"The big shots of the Ma family are reluctant to part with their inner disciples. Just when they were worried, Han Lei ran to them and sold out all the people in the Qi training period in his pharmacy. He also specially arranged a party for the Ma family. What a show, he threatened the female disciples, saying that the Ma family planned to hand one of them over to die. They were frightened, and then they heard Han Lei make innuendo, saying that the master was a womanizer, and whoever accompanied him would make her feel comfortable. Maybe it would be okay. That night, something started to happen, and I couldn't stop it. No matter if you brought a family with you, no matter if you were a young lady, you all wanted to live, so you all entered the Ma family's room. Only your mother refused to go in. She came back that night and told me that there was just a room with a man lying on the bed and naked women all over the room. Your mother would rather die than obey, so that horse The family chose your mother to die, and with a little help, even your father also chose it, euphemistically calling it a gift in pairs."
The woman began to cry again, her voice trembled, and said: "Your parents died miserably, right in front of my eyes. They have only reached the Qi training stage. How can they compete with those who have established the foundation? Your father was cut off hands and feet, pulled out the head and killed her on the spot. Your mother...your mother...the three female disciples of the Tianyao Sect knocked your mother unconscious, stabbed her awake, released the six black dogs they had raised with medicine, and killed her on the spot. Tear them alive, ahhhhh, ahhhhhh..."
Sun Zikai's face was still so calm. He pushed the woman's arm and asked, "Does the sect not care?"
The woman said hysterically: "Later we found out that this medicine meeting was organized by the Ma family themselves. The sect didn't know at all. The competition where your parents died was only seen by dozens of people on both sides and us slaves. , no one else knows, your mother did not enter the Ma family’s house that night, and she told me the funeral arrangements when she came back. My child, your parents were so scared back then that they forgot to leave some for you. That’s it.”
The woman was in agony, and Sun Zikai also thought about what happened next. Han Lei, who had become a Ma family eagle dog, must have threatened those who saw the incident to keep it a secret, so the incident was not known to outsiders. In fact, he secretly inquired about his father. Mother's name, no one remembers them at all.
"Aunt Ying, don't cry yet. Do you still remember the name of that Ma family member?"
The woman recalled carefully and said, "We don't have access to those big shots, but I seem to have heard that person's name... Ma Guanzheng. It is said that he has an older brother, and it was the two brothers who started the medicine society back then. .”
Sun Zikai nodded and said, "If you think about it carefully, is there anything else or details you can tell me?"
The woman thought for a moment, shook her head and said, "No more."
Sun Zikai took out the ten taels of silver from his arms and put it on the table. His expression was still calm and he said, "Thank you, Aunt Ying, for telling me the truth."
"Kid, there's nothing we can do."
"I know in my heart, don't worry, I will live well." Sun Zikai forced a smile, "I have to go back first, I still have things to do, and I will come to see you and uncle again."
"Xiao Kai!" the woman stood up and said, "Don't hold it back, don't be impulsive. Oh, by the way, the sect has a tomb temple, and there are memorial tablets of your parents there."
Sun Zikai turned around, nodded, said thanks, and left quickly. This time, the woman chased him out, but she didn't see the child again. She squatted down and cried non-stop.
In the evening, the young man walked into Guangjin City.
The largest house in Guangjin City is the most magnificent symbolic building in the city.
Today, the door that is never closed suddenly closed.
Han Lei had just finished writing a good calligraphy in his study when he suddenly felt it was quiet outside and couldn't help but shout out: "Tui'er, bring me a pot of tea."
After not seeing a response for a long time, Han Lei got annoyed, dropped his pen, and kicked out the door. There was no one outside. After a few breaths, he suddenly became weak and fell down. After waking up, he found himself sitting on a chair in the room, the table was gone, and it was dark, no, it was not dark, it was pure darkness. He was in darkness, but he saw darkness coming again.
He saw a figure hidden in the darkness, but it instantly gave him great fear.
"Brother...brother, who are you?" Han Lei thought about all the enemies in his memory. In fact, he really didn't have many enemies. Otherwise, he wouldn't have settled here openly.
His eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and he could see clearly that the man was actually a young man, and he looked familiar. The young man was playing with a ball in his hand. Ball? It was actually a human head. Han Lei felt cold to the bone. He was unusually awake at the moment, but he didn't have any strength and couldn't even lift his hands.
Finally, he discovered again that it was the head of his newborn child.
"Asshole! Who are you! Do you dare to say it?"
The young man's hand was ignited with flames, and the head was burned into a skull. It was broken into pieces with a slight grasp. The young man turned around and Han Lei finally saw clearly.
"Yes, it's you?"
"Has all the gold been spent?"
"You...you came here for money? Okay, okay, I'll give you all the money back. You go ahead and I'll give it to you tomorrow."
Sun Zikai walked into the darkness, and soon dragged out a person. The person was paralyzed with fear and called "Master."
Han Lei recognized that it was the concubine he had just married. A cold light flashed and the woman's head fell to the ground. Han Lei opened his mouth wide and remained silent for a long time.
He walked into the darkness again and pulled out someone. Han Lei called out: "Dad?"
Just after the shouting, the head fell to the ground, and blood crawled quietly on the ground, like countless ghost claws, grabbing Han Lei's feet.
Into the darkness, out of the darkness, Into the darkness, out of the darkness...
Everyone in this big house was dragged out one by one, and their heads were piled all over the house.
Then, it was a dog, a cat, a fish...the body was thrown out, but the head stayed in the house.
Han Lei couldn't shout a word. He was so frightened that he finally saw the devil-like man walking towards him with a knife in his hand. He was so frightened that a special air flow formed. Sun Zikai sensed that air flow. The breath, absorbing, swallowing, blowing, is the breath of fear, the evil thoughts that have lost their compassion. The sky in Guangjin City has darkened, and it will never be bright again.
One yard after another, Sun Zikai asked first: "Where is the gold?"
"Flower...Flower."
"How much is left?"
"There's a lot left, in the basement."
"Oh, remember Sun..." He said his parents' names.
"Remember...remember."
"Oh, I am their son." Sun Zikai grabbed his neck, and the flames surged out and penetrated his skin bit by bit. His throat was scorched, and Han Lei couldn't scream. The streaks of flames penetrated Han Lei. Sun Zikai vaguely felt the voices of countless calls for Lei's soul, which seemed to be a hot soul, a soul of fire.
The young man tortured him all night, until the breath of fear forced his soul out of the body, and the blooming soul of fire continued a new round of killings... In the early morning, Sun Zikai returned to the sect, and the house in the city, It was only turned on once and then never turned on again.
