Although the remaining three killers couldn't see Shura's face clearly, they could see his figure.
The killers seemed to be frightened. They rode over to pick up their injured companions on the ground and wanted to leave here under the cover of night. They believed that as long as they were still on the horse, this murderous young man would be unable to do anything to them.
At this moment, an iron bow was handed to Shura.
When he looked back, he saw Yueying with a determined look on his face, looking at his brother with encouraging eyes, meaning to make money quickly and not let the gold coins he got get away.
The killers rescued their companions on the ground as quickly as possible, and rode out together, about to leave the brother and sister's sight.
Shura looked at the killer on horseback and roared so loudly that even Yueying couldn't hear clearly what he was yelling about.
The young man dropped the black sword and bent the bow as fast as he could to draw the arrow. Before Yueying could react, the first iron arrow had already flown out.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sound of three arrows was like three soul-killing bolts of lightning, flying into the wind and snow.
Boom boom boom! There was a sound, and since the iron arrow had left the string, there was no reason to miss it. This is what the boy's parents taught him.
Bang bang bang! The sound of applause in the dark night: "Why don't you hurry up and clean up the battlefield? Are you asking your senior brother to help you pick up the money? Remember to bring their weapons back, they are valuable."
In the night, the voice of Sixth Senior Brother sounded.
Shura looked at Yueying and said, "Sister, go find your senior brother. I'll go to the front and have a look."
Yueying looked up at him and smiled and said: "Brother, go quickly, be careful." After saying that, he turned and ran to where the sixth senior brother was.
Shura put away his iron bow, picked up the black sword on the ground, stepped on the thick snow, and looked for the place where the assassin in front had been hit by the arrow.
...
Yueying trotted all the way back to the tent and sat down in front of the fire.
Looking at the Sixth Senior Brother, he asked: "Although Yueying has never seen a killer, I heard from my father that killers are determined to die. Why did the killer tonight suddenly want to run away?"
"Cold killers are also afraid of death. When they meet someone who is more ruthless and ruthless than themselves, they naturally think of saving their lives."
The Sixth Brother continued: "Tonight there are more than twenty killers. Your brother's perception has become stronger after breaking through the realm, and his swordsmanship seems to have made some progress after practicing these days."
Yueying rolled her big black eyes, looked at the Sixth Senior Brother and asked, "How many did brother kill tonight?"
"There seem to be about ten. I'll tell you how many rings I'll give you later."
Sixth Senior Brother looked at her and said with a smile.
Yue Ying looked at him and said seriously: "I didn't expect that Yue Ying and my brother would also be a rich man."
Senior Brother Six looked at her and smiled and said, "You have become richer than Senior Sister all the way back to the mountains."
After hearing these words, Yueying was silent for a while, and then said: "Leave Yueying's money to my brother. When he has no money, he can spend it on Yueying."
Senior Brother Six couldn't help but sigh softly when he thought of the scene when the brother and sister met.
Looking at Yueying's frowning but childish face, he smiled and said, "When you go back, follow the two senior sisters and practice hard. Only if you become more powerful can you protect yourself and your brother."
Although Shura had gained some understanding of the killer along the way, the development of his current situation was not at all what his sixth brother and his master had predicted.
In the past, only a few killers were occasionally sent to attack at night, but today more than twenty people came. If it weren't for Sixth Senior Brother and Master, he and Yueying would have lost their lives long ago.
The night continued, the wind and snow continued, and Shura, who had once again experienced the killer's attack, could no longer sleep.
He asked Sixth Brother and Yueying to rest while he added more branches to the fire. He wanted to keep vigil all night.
The Sixth Senior Brother has to drive tomorrow, and Yueying on the second level of Qi Refining is not yet able to face the dangers in the dark alone.
Standing by the blazing fire, the young man felt that although he was becoming more and more skilled in killing people, his heart was getting colder and colder. I wonder if he will become the same as these killers, or colder than these killers?
However, there is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
From the moment he buried his parents together and wiped his sister Xiaoman's eyes with his own hands, he was destined to become the most cold-blooded and cruel murderer in the world.
The day he follows his master and goes down the mountain will be the moment when the killers of the Moruo Kingdom arrive at night.
If it took ten years to sharpen this killing sword, he would take ten years to sharpen it.
If revenge takes him twenty years, he is willing to prepare for it for twenty years.
The reason he lives right now is to take revenge and accompany his sister Yueying.
However, he will hide the first reason deeply in his heart, and whether Master Qingxu knows it or not, he will not tell others.
My sister Yueying has successfully gathered Qi and has become a practitioner on the second level of Qi refining. I thought that under the care of Senior Sister, I would become more and more powerful.
At this point, he couldn't help but have some expectations for the next journey.
I hope the killers will come more and attack more fiercely.
My arrow is already on the string, my sword is sharpened, waiting for you to fight.
...
The long night is easy to pass, and the journey continues.
Yueying accompanies Sixth Senior Brother on the train. Shura fell in a corner of the carriage to catch up on his sleep. He was too sleepy after struggling for most of the night.
The curtain of the carriage was raised at a corner, and the Sixth Senior Brother looked at his junior brother who was sleeping wrapped in a quilt, and at Qingxu who was holding a scroll, and asked softly: "Master, should we enter the imperial city of the Moluo Kingdom, or take a detour? "
Qingxu also glanced at Shura who was lying on the ground, and replied softly: "Then let's go in and have a look, and let the two little guys get familiar with the imperial city."
Yueying put on her brother's bamboo hat, looked at the sixth brother and asked: "Sixth brother, are we going to go shopping in the city? Are we going to sell things again?"
The little girl followed her master and brother, and under the care of the sixth senior brother, she gradually forgot the pain of losing her father, and finally there was a smile on her face.
Qingxu looked at her and said with a smile: "After Yueying waits for us to find an inn to stay, you and your senior brother will get rid of those things, and then buy some daily necessities for the senior sisters and senior brothers on the mountain to make them happy."
When Yueying thought of the five rings that her brother gave to her last night, she frowned and asked, "Master, what do you want? Yueying bought it for you, and my brother gave me a lot of money."
"Your sixth brother will take care of this problem. Don't spend the money your brother gives you indiscriminately. We will live a poor life after returning to the mountains. It will not be easy to make money in the future. You have to save your money..."
Qingxu looked at the youngest female disciple with a look of love in her eyes.
Yueying nodded, stretched out his hand to lower the bamboo hat on his head, and said with a smile: "Yueying will buy a few bags of tea for the master in a while, and then buy a few bottles of wine."
The sixth senior brother who was driving the car asked curiously: "Junior sister, how did you come up with this?"
Yueying looked at him and replied: "Because my brother said that day that he had been learning all afternoon and still couldn't make tea like the master. I have to buy some more for my brother to learn how to make tea..."
Qingxu in the carriage was stunned, looking at Shura in his sleep, thinking about the melancholy little face under his mask, and thinking that he had to find some way to heal the scars on his face and smooth out the scars in his soul. .
"You have too much knowledge to learn, and the road is still long. You must be in a hurry..."
Qingxu replied calmly, he couldn't wait any longer and wanted to go home and see if those guys on the mountain would hide in their homes and be lazy while he was out.
The sixth senior brother nodded, thinking that there were not many forces in the Moluo Kingdom that could support so many killers. If these guys really came for the younger junior brother, he could already foresee a certain moment in the future...
A certain force in the Moruo Kingdom was bleeding like a river.
The junior brother is so young now, but he is already so cold and cruel. When he returns to the mountain and practices for another ten years, and when he comes down after eight years, even if he is not the God of Death, he will be a guy that makes the killers change their minds.
He remembered what his master often said: Why bother?
Thinking of this, he subconsciously turned his head and looked into the carriage. The north wind blew by, blowing up a corner of the car curtain, revealing the junior brother's little face that was half covered by a black Shura mask.
Because of the mask, even the sleeping boy did not want others to see his joys and sorrows.
In the eyes of the Sixth Senior Brother, the only reason why the four of his master and apprentice could become the targets of so many killers was because of the young junior brother who fell asleep in the carriage.
When thinking about this problem, he excluded his master and apprentice, and also lined up his master. Because he believed that if the junior sister was the target of killing people, she would not be struggling in the restaurant in the small town.
The situation did not deteriorate as Brother Six had expected. His master and apprentice gradually approached Devil's City, the imperial city of Mo Luo Kingdom, but the carriage was no longer followed by the killer who had always followed him.
"Are you afraid of being killed?" Senior Brother Six laughed secretly.
When he looked up, the carriage had already arrived outside the majestic gate of Devil City. After paying the fee to enter the city, the four masters and disciples finally arrived at the largest capital city of Moruo Kingdom.
The carriage was walking on the street paved with black stone slabs in Devil City. Moon Shadow lifted a corner of the curtain and looked around, like a curious baby.
The wheels pressing against the stone floor sounded joyful and hopeful to Yueying's ears. Following Sixth Senior Brother, I sold the killer's equipment and got a lot of gold coins back, so I could go shopping and buy new skirts.
The wheel pressed against Shura's heart, and it was extremely depressing in his ears.
Because he knew that his family-killing enemy must be in a big family in this capital.
If this revenge is not avenged for a day, his heart will not be at peace.
Only the master has no joy or sorrow. In his opinion, he came to this majestic city just to let his two young disciples remember the appearance of this city. He also hopes that one day he will come here to seek revenge and not be killed by what is in front of him. The prosperity captivates the eyes.
To him, the prosperity of the world is just passing clouds and smoke, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
.....
Before noon, the four masters and disciples had stopped by the Youshui River in Devil City. Shura looked up and said softly: "Longmen Inn! Master, let's stay here."
Qingxu followed Shura's gaze and said with a faint smile: "In this case, let's rest here for two days."
The Sixth Senior Brother looked away from the inn's gatehouse and looked at Yueying beside him and smiled. Since he wanted to stay in the inn, he had to pull the carriage into the backyard of the inn.
Yueying jumped out of the carriage, took Shura's hand, blinked her eyelashes and asked: "After lunch, Yueying will go shopping with Sixth Senior Brother. Brother, do you want to go and play together?"
Shura looked at her innocent and cute eyes and replied in despair: "I'm not going. Master and I will make tea in the inn and wait for you to come back."
Yueying nodded lightly. She was used to her brother staying in the inn with her master, as long as the sixth brother followed her.
Qingxu looked at Yueying and said: "It's a rare time for us to come here. You and Sixth Senior Brother have a good time shopping and buy everything they need for Senior Sister."
Yueying took her brother's hand and walked to the inn. After listening to what the master said, she said excitedly: "Master, don't worry, this matter is left to Yueying and senior brother."
Shura didn't say anything. He held his sister's little hand with one hand and rubbed her head lovingly with the other. He looked at her and said, "Buy more of what you like. After the money is spent, my brother will earn it for you."
Qingxu, who was walking in front, couldn't help but sigh softly when he heard it.
The four masters and apprentices had a quick lunch in the inn, and the sixth brother took Yueying, who looked excited, to go shopping. It took an hour to deal with the unused swords, weapons and belongings of the killers.
The two still had to spend some time shopping. The senior sisters and brothers on the mountain had not been out for a long time. The sixth senior brother and Qingxu both wanted to learn more daily necessities and go back.
Clothes, food and snacks, as well as the rouge and gouache that the second senior sister liked, the senior sister and the third senior sister made a long list for the sixth senior brother when they went out.
Senior Brother Six looked at Yueying and smiled and said, "I guess we won't be able to finish all the shopping in one afternoon. We will have to continue shopping tomorrow."
Yueying squinted her eyes and smiled: "It's okay, Yueying is accompanying Sixth Senior Brother."
The lively and prosperous town is the little girl's favorite place. You can find whatever you want in your heart here.
Mr. He is still the youngest junior sister.
Shura, who didn't like to join in the fun, was learning how to make tea from his master in the inn. He thought that he could make a satisfying tea for him before returning to the master's door.
The killers he met along the way made him realize that without his master, he and his sister Yueying would be robbed by the killers who heard the news before they left Fuwen Town.
Qingxu was not in a hurry at all. While making a fire to boil water, he explained to him the relationship between water temperature and different tea leaves, how much water should be put in a large pot, how many tea leaves should be put in, and the timing of water coming out.
Holding a book of tea in his hands, Shura finally understood some of the principles of making tea. He looked at the hot tea in the cup and nodded gently.
Qingxu looked at him and smiled and said: "Making tea is not so particular. When the situation is bad, it is good to have a drink of water. Sometimes in life, you cannot force it."
Shura nodded thoughtfully, thinking of his own life experience and those helpless things.
Looking at the master's calm appearance, he couldn't calm down in his heart.
Even in a helpless life, he must try to control his own destiny. In his young heart, he lived for revenge, and he practiced desperately for revenge.
Qingxu didn't know what his disciple was hiding in his heart, so he just drank two cups of tea and went back to his room to rest.
When he is away from home, like his little disciple, he also likes to be quiet and comfortable alone.
Shura changed the tea and started boiling water to make tea based on the tea ceremony knowledge he just learned from his master, controlling the temperature of the water and the timing of adding the tea.
The young man who was temporarily demented did not even know the passage of time.
It was dusk in a blink of an eye.
Senior brother Yueying 16th opened the door after returning from shopping. He smelled the strong aroma of tea and felt refreshed.
Sixth Senior Brother looked at him and smiled: "Seventh Junior Brother and Master drank tea all afternoon?"
Shura was stunned, looked at him and smiled: "That's not true, the master has gone to rest early, I am just idle and bored, trying to learn the art of making tea from the master, so that when I return to the master in the future, I can give it to my senior brother and Senior sisters make tea..."
Yueying looked at him and smiled: "Yueying bought tea for my brother today, and some gowns... bought a lot of soju for the master..."
The sixth senior brother looked at him and said, "I'm going to ask the master to come for dinner, and I'll tell him some things I learned about today." After drinking a cup of tea, the sixth senior brother was about to get up and ask the master to go out.
"No need, tell me what news you heard out there." Before the sixth senior brother could get up, the master had already walked in.
When the sixth senior brother saw the master coming, he smiled and said: "Disciple, my junior sister heard when I was shopping today that the Imperial City will hold the annual Kamigawa Night Festival tomorrow night. Master and the seventh junior brother, do you want to go and take a look."
Yueying also said: "Master, I heard that tomorrow night will be very lively. A grand night festival will be held by the Youhe River. Master, can you take Yueying and my brother to see it?"
"It's worth considering. After all, we have to rest here for a few days. However, there may be hidden dangers for you two in crowded places..." Qingxu sighed.
Shura was stunned when he heard this, thinking that the master was really thinking about his sister step by step. Otherwise, with the abilities of the master and the sixth brother, they would naturally have to watch such a lively scene.
"Master, Sixth Senior Brother, you can take your sister for a walk, and the disciple can just stay at the inn."
Shura thought for a moment, and with the master and sixth brother here, Yueying would naturally not have any accidents. It would be better for him, the source of trouble, to stay in the inn.
After all, after entering the imperial city, the killers did not dare to come to the inn to cause trouble.
"It's not that serious. I just want to go with everyone." Qingxu replied with a smile.
"Yueying can go shopping with my brother now." Yueying said with a smile.
"Junior brother, Master and I are here, what are you afraid of? Let's go and see together." Sixth Brother responded nonchalantly.
"That's okay, but I'm alone in front. If I encounter danger, I'll deal with it myself first. If it's really no longer possible, I'll bother Sixth Senior Brother and Master to take action."
Shura thought for a while, looked at the three of them and said seriously.
"This is a good idea. When the time comes, the three of us, the master and the apprentice, will follow you. You will also be able to experience how to face unknown dangers in a bustling environment."
The master looked at Yue Ying and smiled: "Yue Ying went shopping today and bought some delicious food for the master?"
Upon hearing this, Yueying quickly took out the tea she bought and put it on the table. She looked at Qingxu and said with a smile, "Of course it's the spiritual tea you like to drink, master. The sixth brother also bought a lot of shochu and said he would take it back to the mountain gate." for drink."
"Sixth Brother also bought some robes for Master." Yueying continued, taking a bundle and stuffing it into Shura's arms, giggling.
"Did you buy your own skirt? There are senior and third senior sisters on the mountain." Shura asked with a smile as he looked at her, quite happy.
The Sixth Senior Brother put the food he bought on the table and laughed and said, "Have a nice drink today. Tomorrow, I will buy the things that Senior Sister and the others need, and go to the Kamigawa Night Festival in the evening."
"I haven't had a good drink in a few days. I just have nothing to do tonight. Come on, master and disciple, let's have a drink." Qingxu looked at the sixth senior brother who was pouring the wine and said with a smile.
"Yueying also wants to drink half a cup." Yueying said suddenly. The sixth brother's eyes froze and he shook his head and said: "Aren't you afraid of getting drunk? By the way, your brother doesn't drink now."
Shura looked at the two of them and smiled and said, "Sister, you can drink if you want. When you get drunk, go back to the house and rest." He doted on his sister in every possible way.
"It's freezing weather. Let's have a drink. This is an inn in the imperial city, not in the wilderness."
Qingxu said that he did not want his disciples to practice like ascetics.
Shura glanced at his master and said nothing, but silently tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Yueying beside him. For him, keeping a clear mind at all times is the most important thing.
From now on, I will always have to walk alone in the world, and good habits must be cultivated from now on.
...
"Junior sister, look at the river, it's so beautiful."
Walking along the crowded bank of the Youhe River, Shura heard the voices of his sixth senior brother and his sister not far behind him.
Last night, the master carefully explained to him some things that need to be paid attention to in crowded places.
Don't follow people too closely and don't let others follow you!
Without cultivating his spiritual consciousness, he could only concentrate on dealing with every suspicious person passing by, especially being wary of strangers who suddenly appeared.
Beware of people behind you who are quickly approaching you...
In order to ensure Shura's safety, Qingxu gave him a dagger to deal with the hidden dangers in the crowd.
"This dagger is called Dark Night. It is made of cold iron and black iron, with some cinnabar added... It can be said to be indestructible. You can use it for self-defense in the future to deal with personal crises."
This was the first time Qingxu gave Shura weapons, and this was to ensure his safety.
After all, once attacked in a crowd, there is no way to fight back with a long sword. Especially young people like Shura who are in the Qi Refining Realm are even more vulnerable to harm.
Shura, who was walking in front, did not look back, but focused on the crowd nearby.
I saw many stands set up on the shore. For the annual Kamigawa Night Festival, the people, officials, and wealthy businessmen of the Imperial City of Moruo Kingdom came to participate in this annual event regardless of the snow in the sky.
There were wooden sheds above the stands to protect them from the wind and snow, but most of the places were open-air. The people who came to participate, whether they were the elderly or children, only wore a bamboo hat.
Senior Brother Six specially bought three bamboo hats, which Qingxu and Yueying both wore on their heads. Shura, on the other hand, was wearing the bamboo hat he had worn when he left home, and he was still wearing a black linen gown.
Yueying once asked him: "Brother, do you want to buy you an animal skin jacket to keep warm?"
Shura's answer was: "Brother, you have to get used to the cold. You can't start enjoying it now."
In fact, what he wants to say is that I must maintain the attitude of a wild wolf, and cannot live like a comfortable sheep, letting others slaughter me.
Only by living like a wild wolf can he remind himself at all times: he must not forget the hatred of destroying his family.
The people on the shore were reveling in their festival, and the priest at the altar had not yet taken the stage.
There are already fireworks set off in the Youhe River.
I saw countless fireworks set off at the same time, rising into the sky, slowly gathering together, and gradually turned into a huge dragon head, and then slowly floated higher.
Both the tourists on the Youhe River and the crowd on the shore burst into earth-shattering cheers at this moment.
"The fireworks are rising, indicating that the Kamigawa Night Festival is about to begin. What a wonderful moment." Shura heard the sixth brother introducing to his master and sister.
The crowd walking around him also made sounds of admiration.
"Praise Kamigawa, this is a magical night." More pedestrians shouted.
"Oh my God, the sky is so beautiful and spectacular!" A woman was shouting next to Shura.
"It was an unforgettable night."
I saw seven priests walking up to the seven altars.
The high altar was surrounded by a yellow curtain. Seven priests walked out, clasped their hands together and began to chant, and then picked up the incense candles on the altar and waved them slowly.
I saw a halo of light slowly rising up into the sky on the altar. Under the waves of the seven priests, the halo condensed and never dispersed, and finally turned into seven large scriptures in the air.
Shura couldn't understand the scriptures in the sky.
I only heard someone behind me introduce: "The consciousness of these seven scriptures is: peace, good luck, wishful thinking, the meaning of Kamigawa blessing all living beings..."
For a moment, everyone smiled and admired, praising the divine river and the seven priests on the altar.
After that, the seven scriptures gathered together again and turned into a golden dragon, slowly flying towards the palace.
For a time, the atmosphere on both sides of the Youhe River reached a climax. People cheered and prayed for the Divine River, the emperor, and their families...
The atmosphere on both sides of the Youhe River was excellent, and Shura even heard his sister's cheers.
Only Shura held the dagger An Ye in his hand at this moment when thousands of people were cheering, because he wanted to go to his family who died tragically and thought of his enemies who were still cheering somewhere.
If the great revenge is not avenged for a day, he will not dare to give up easily, let alone steal the temporary happiness. This is his life.
The purpose of surviving is to avenge the 108 innocent souls who died.
...
