In the end, Bu Xiaotian had to give up the search. At the same time, he became more certain that Uncle Yi was not an ordinary person, but he didn't know why he would give these two treasures to him.
Bu Xiaotian didn't expect that coming here not only failed to solve the original doubts in his heart, but left here with more doubts.
One day later, Bu Xiaotian stood in front of an abandoned village, looking at the ruins covered with weeds and shrubs. Bu Xiaotian seemed to have returned to that terrible night, and he seemed to hear the misery and helplessness of the villagers again. of cries.
This is the place where he was born and lived for five years. If those people hadn't ruined everything and made his destiny change dramatically, maybe he would be a young hunter now, or maybe a handsome scholar.
He will never forget the fire that burned through the entire village, the smell of blood that permeated the entire village, and the murderers who slaughtered the innocent villagers in the entire village like demons!
Eleven years ago, this was a quiet and peaceful small village. The villagers were simple and kind, and the crops in the fields swayed with the breeze.
Bu Xiaotian plays in the fields with his friends every day. When he comes home, his mother always prepares hot meals for him and listens to him with a smile as he talks about his day's experience. Even if he makes mistakes occasionally, his mother will not She scolded him excessively, but even when she taught him a lesson, she seemed so gentle.
Thinking of his mother, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but smile. His mother was a very beautiful woman. Although she was dressed as an ordinary village woman, she could not hide her soft and pure temperament.
Sometimes Bu Xiaotian even felt that she was like a fairy from the legend, she was so beautiful but not out of place with the world around her.
What makes the young Bu Xiaotian very strange is that other people in the village never seem to be surprised by her mother's beauty. It seems that in their eyes she is just an ordinary mountain village peasant woman.
There was always something in his mother's eyes that Bu Xiaotian couldn't understand at that time. Even though sometimes she was clearly smiling, he always felt that her mother was not really happy.
Now Bu Xiaotian understands that it is sadness, which can only be felt after experiencing great pain, a sadness that cannot be erased even by time, because he found that his eyes will show that similar look from time to time. , especially when thinking about that terrible night eleven years ago.
As for Bu Xiaotian's father, Bu Xiaotian has no impression of him.
Ever since he could remember, there had never been any trace of his father in his life. Whenever he asked his mother about him, she would always shake her head and say nothing, but the sadness in her eyes became very strong, which made her He didn't dare to ask any more questions.
So Bu Xiaotian gradually stopped asking anything about her father, and later even the name father would not be mentioned in front of her.
Such a life existed until Bu Xiaotian was woken up from his sleep by his mother on that rainy night and asked him to go north. Even though it was pouring rain outside, she still cruelly drove him out of the house.
He didn't understand why she was so cruel to him. It wasn't until he saw the entire village being swallowed up by raging flames from a distance, heard the villagers' screams, and smelled the smell of blood that even heavy rain could not cover up, that he realized that his mother had already Knowing they would come, chasing him away was to keep him alive.
Bu Xiaotian was frightened. He only remembered that his mother told him to go north, so he kept heading north without daring to look back. Since then, he has never seen her again.
...
The flapping of the wings of a wild bird flying in the grass pulled Bu Xiaotian out of his memories. Bu Xiaotian raised his feet and walked towards the direction of his "home" in his memory. There were many ruins along the way. , under the erosion of time, no trace of the peaceful village's appearance at that time can be seen.
Soon Bu Xiaotian stopped in front of a ruins. The ruins in front of him were no different from other ruins. There were only a few charred logs left that had rotted to the point of not being able to see their original appearance, and were covered by weeds. If there is any difference, it is that the ruins in front of me are more completely destroyed than other places. It is almost impossible to tell that a mother and son who lived here in isolation were almost invisible.
This is the "home" where Bu Xiaotian and his mother once lived together. Although almost nothing is left, Bu Xiaotian will never misremember this place.
In the following time, Bu Xiaotian walked around the entire burned village, and finally found a cemetery with no tombstones not far from the village. In his memory, this place was originally a farmland. It seems that there are people with good intentions. These people who died tragically were buried in the ground, but because they didn’t know their names, no monuments were erected.
Bu Xiaotian guessed that his mother should also be buried here. He found some incense, candles, paper money, and offered sacrifices to all those who died tragically in front of this cemetery. He sat here for another day and night, and then left here.
Bu Xiaotian did not rush back to Yuxu Gate with his sword, but walked along the road to the north. He needed some time to sort out his chaotic emotions.
On this day, when Bu Xiaotian passed by a village called Baiyang Village, he saw a group of sad-looking villagers gathered in front of a shelf with a notice on it, pointing and talking about something, with some expressions on their faces. Fearful, he was a little curious, so he approached the crowd and asked about it.
It turned out that a monster appeared near the village a few months ago, and several people had already died in the hands of the monster. It was said that the death conditions of those people were extremely horrific. They were all blue-faced and had several deep scars on their bodies, such as The person was scratched by something, and what was even more frightening was that the person who had died just the night before had the wounds on his body rotted into a state of disgrace.
And no one has seen the monster escape alive for so long, so they don't even know what the monster looks like. Now they are recruiting strange people and strangers to subdue this monster. If anyone can get rid of this terrible monster, they will get A handsome reward.
Hearing that there were monsters causing trouble, Bu Xiaotian, as a disciple of the righteous way, naturally couldn't sit idly by and ignore it, so he summoned some energy and asked loudly: "Who is the person in charge here?"
Everyone around him was startled. They felt that the young man spoke too loudly, so they all moved away. At this time, an old man on crutches walked out of the crowd and looked at Bu Xiaotian. , replied: "I am the village chief of Baiyang Village. I wonder what happened to this little brother?"
"Old man, I can help you get rid of this monster." Bu Xiaotian said to the old man.
"Little brother, please stop joking. I see that you are only sixteen or seventeen years old. How can you defeat that ferocious monster? I hope that little brother will put your own life first and never hurt your own life just because you are greedy for a little money. !" Seeing that Bu Xiaotian was not very old, the old man thought that Bu Xiaotian was interested in the generous reward, so he couldn't help but dissuade him.
"Yes, little brother, this money was collected with great difficulty by the whole village. We must get rid of the monsters before we can take it away. Little brother, you'd better leave quickly and don't think about this money!" someone in the crowd said. He said in a loud voice. It seemed that Bu Xiaotiannian didn't believe that he could get rid of monsters at a young age. This was said very politely.
"That's right, little brother, you'd better leave quickly!"
"move!"
"Don't lose your life because of greed!"
Seeing that no one believed him, Bu Xiaotian knew that they had good intentions, so he was not annoyed. He just opened his mouth and said to the people on the side: "Please, please get out of the way."
The people over there thought that Bu Xiaotian had been persuaded to leave, so they did not stop him and made a gap for him. However, they saw that Bu Xiaotian's feet did not move, and he had no intention of leaving. After sealing the secret, he saw the sword behind him rise from its sheath with a "choking" sound, turning into a dark blue stream of light and flying towards a bowl-sized poplar tree in the open space not far away, and then flew back to land in the blink of an eye. Into the scabbard.
The poplar tree, however, appeared to be uninjured. Everyone was shocked by his skill with the sword. They all looked at the poplar tree, only to see that it was still intact. Just as they were about to speak to Bu Xiaotian, they were surprised. Seeing Bu Xiaotian chuckled and said, "Don't be anxious, everyone."
As soon as Bu Xiaotian finished speaking, the hit Baiyang suddenly fell to the other side, with the port as smooth as a mirror.
Seeing this scene, the crowd suddenly became uproar.
Before Bu Xiaotian could say anything, he saw the old man who claimed to be the village chief knelt down and bowed deeply to him, pleading: "Please forgive me for my old eyesight, I don't know the immortal, please help me." Our Baiyang Village!”
"Please God, please save our Baiyang Village!" Seeing the old village chief like this, the other villagers also fell down and worshiped Bu Xiaotian.
"Get up quickly!" Bu Xiaotian suddenly panicked when he saw everyone kneeling down towards him, "What are you doing? I didn't say I wouldn't help you. Get up quickly. I can't bear this. I can't afford it!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to help the old village chief up.
After the old village chief was helped up by Bu Xiaotian, he immediately thanked him and said, "Thank you so much, God, for disregarding the past grudges!" He said that he was about to bow down again.
"No, no, no! Don't worship me anymore. My name is Bu Xiaotian, and I am a disciple of the Yuxu Sect. I will help you if you have any difficulties, so don't worship me any more. Don't call me the Supreme Immortal. Call me Xiao." God is fine." Bu Xiaotian quickly stopped the old man and explained.
"It turns out...Xiaotian, you are an expert from the Yuxu Sect. I heard that the Yuxu Sect is far in the north, two or three thousand miles away from here!" The old man was obviously hesitant to call Bu Xiaotian by his name directly, but He didn't dare to go against Bu Xiaotian's words for fear of offending the young "immortal", so he had to bite the bullet and call his name.
"You are right, old man. I am coming from the north and passing by here. What do you call me, old man?"
"My little old man's surname is Bai, and his name only has the character for stone. You can just call me Bai Shi." The old man saw that Bu Xiaotian had a humble expression, without any arrogance or being as reserved as he was at the beginning.
"It turns out to be old man Baishi. I wonder if the old man can introduce me to the specific situation of that monster pair?" Bu Xiaotian thought that he had never dealt with any monsters, and even had little fighting experience, so he wanted to know about that monster first. The situation of monsters, in case the enemy is caught off guard.
"this…"
Bai Shi hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, with a look of shame on his face, but he still told Bu Xiaotian everything he knew.
"I feel ashamed to say that the monster has been causing harm to our village for half a year, and several villagers have died at its hands, but we know very little about it.
That monster only appears on full-moon nights. We have seen its footprints. The shape is very similar to human feet, but it is twice as big as ordinary people. Someone has seen a figure at least ten feet tall disappearing in the east from a distance. Its nest may be there in the forest, but we don't dare to investigate.
The monster's claws should be highly poisonous. Every person who died from its injuries had several huge wounds, and the flesh of the wounds was badly rotted. We really don’t know the rest. If you encounter it, please be careful! "
"Well, I understand. Tonight is the night of the full moon. The monster should appear again. I'll go meet it for a while and explore its reality. If I'm lucky, I might be able to help you get rid of this monster directly. ." After listening to Bai Shi's words, Bu Xiaotian pondered for a moment and decided to take advantage of the full moon tonight to try to see if he could get rid of the monster.
