Hongye Village, sandwiched between Dayang Mountain and Xiaoyang Mountain, was instantly swallowed up by a fireball falling from the sky overnight, and disappeared from the Sui Dynasty's territory.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and the birds chirped miserably on the ground.
Everything around Hongye Village has been reduced to ashes, leaving some trees that have not yet burned out, emitting thick black smoke.
Why is the sky gray and white? Why doesn't the moon have moonlight? Why am I not dead yet?
Dong Qingqiu stretched out his hand and grabbed it into the void, looking at the intact hand in confusion. It seems to be much longer than before, and the palms are no different from those of adults.
Facing the colorless sun, Dong Qingqiu suddenly clenched his fists, sat up and looked at his whole body in disbelief.
wrong!
Am I not already dead? The head was also chopped off.
Yes, head?
Dong Qingqiu kept stroking his neck with both hands, trying to find out what was wrong.
Dong Qingqiu touched his entire body but found no injuries.
Dong Qingqiu stood up in confusion and found that his field of vision was much wider. If you look closely, you will see that he no longer looks like the child he was before.
"Sun Yuan?"
Dong Qingqiu seemed to have thought of something terrible in his mind. He kept looking around, and all he saw in front of him was gray.
The burnt grass on the ground was grey-white.
His own hands are also gray-white.
It seemed like everything I saw was gray and white.
The moon in the sky is warm, so it is daytime.
But why can’t I see or see? If he was clearly dead, how could he come back to life again?
Dong Qingqiu held his head in pain, desperately trying to remember something.
Apart from the memory of being beheaded by Liu Caiqi, there is no other memory.
"Yes! I'm still alive, I'm not dead. I must have just come back from the current. Everything before was just a dream."
"Yes, that's right, it's all a dream. I'm still alive, and Sun Yuan is not dead either. Sun Yuan is not dead!"
Dong Qingqiu spread his legs like crazy, his whole body was unsteady, and he swayed left and right and ran towards one place desperately.
He didn't even remember that he was naked, and his whole body was bathed in the warm embrace of the sun.
Dong Qingqiu was panting and pushed open the door of Sun Yuan's house in despair. Everything inside was exactly the same as before.
The ground under his feet was still warm, and all the surrounding families disappeared, leaving only Sun Yuan's family.
Dong Qingqiu looked at the bowl of noodles on the stove in a daze.
Dong Qingqiu knocked over the bowl of noodles on the stove, unwilling to believe that all this was true.
Tears welled up in his eyes. Dong Qingqiu tried not to cry out, but he didn't even shed a single tear.
Now there is only one thought in Dong Qingqiu's mind: Liu Caiqi killed everyone just in case to preserve her hypocritical reputation.
"Okay! What a great trick!"
"Empress Liu, thank you for removing all the obstacles on the road to immortality for me." Dong Qingqiu said through gritted teeth. My whole body was shaking violently, and I felt dizzy. I leaned on the stove for a long time and couldn't recover.
"No worries, no desires, no selflessness. If I don't succeed, who will succeed?" Dong Qingqiu stood up with difficulty, glanced at the water on the ground, and smiled softly, "Who can stop me?"
"I no longer care about why you know that I have lived for more than seven hundred years. Maybe that bitch told you! It can be considered as indirectly killing you. Since you are no longer in this world, what kind of equality do women need?"
Dong Qingqiu blinked his gray eyes, his world was still gray and white.
Since you want to take a good look at this world, then I will lend you my eyes. Thank you for lending me your life.
As for what you said about meeting again, then I will wait for you forever - Sun Yuan.
When leaving, Dong Qingqiu picked up the small sickle placed in the basket at the door, quickly glanced around, felt the temperature on the ground, and walked towards Xiaoyang Mountain again without looking back.
It was not until we reached the foot of Xiaoyang Mountain that the remaining warmth at our feet completely disappeared. After taking a look at the rugged, muddy and difficult mountain path, Dong Qingqiu couldn't bear it anymore after walking dozens of steps. He sat on a stone nearby and looked back.
The gravel pavement that he stepped on was more or less stained with blood.
A chill came from his butt, and Dong Qingqiu realized that he had already walked such a long way without any clothes on.
If I had known earlier, I would have checked at Sun Yuan's house to see if there were any extra clothes.
In order to prevent himself from freezing to death and maintain the temperature in his body, Dong Qingqiu could only continue walking without stopping.
Enduring the biting cold wind and the occasional pain under his feet, after walking in the mountains for several hours, Dong Qingqiu finally reached the place where he was beheaded.
Dong Qingqiu walked to a corpse and looked at the headless corpse with cold eyes. Compared with his current body, he looked like a child who didn't have enough to eat and a strong young man.
Dong Qingqiu cursed softly: "Zhang Ge, you are so cruel! I just ran away once and you didn't give me anything to eat."
Dong Qingqiu picked up Sun Yuan's small sickle, pointed it at the corpse beside him, and cut it off one by one.
The blade of Sun Yuan's small sickle was already very blunt. After more than a dozen cuts, Zhang Li's head was still not cut off.
Dong Qingqiu looked at the large pieces of mud-like blood flowing out of his neck, and slashed at the neck bones inside the flesh with one knife after another.
Suddenly, there was a flash of white light in front of his eyes. The sword came first, followed by the sound, and cut off Dong Qingqiu's head that had not been cut off for a long time.
Dong Qingqiu quickly stepped back, holding the small sickle in his hand and staring straight ahead.
"Brother, I'm behind you." A hand with a long thumb patted Dong Qingqiu's shoulder and said softly.
Dong Qingqiu didn't hesitate at all, turned around and slashed at the neck of the man behind him.
The boy behind him was faster and kicked the sickle away from Dong Qingqiu's hand. Void kicked Dong Qingqiu in the side and landed smoothly on the chest.
Dong Qingqiu tripped over Zhang Li's body behind him, grabbed the opponent's head that was severed with a sword, and threw it at the opponent.
Zhang Li's head broke into two halves in the air.
An inconspicuous mahogany sword with a worn bronze color was suspended in the air, the tip of the sword pointed directly at Dong Qingqiu's head.
Dong Qingqiu took a silent breath, looked at the flying sword pointing at him in the void, softly clasped his fists and laughed: "This brother has offended a lot. I thought it was the group of people last night. Please forgive me if I have offended."
The other party tapped lightly, and the copper-yellow mahogany sword flew back to the sword box behind him.
The young man carrying the wooden sword walked around Dong Qingqiu, constantly touching his chin and looking up and down carefully with a confused look on his face. He saw the naked man in front of him who struck fiercely without any hesitation.
"Brother, what does this outfit mean?"
The boy carrying the sword was wary of Dong Qingqiu and quickly looked back. There was not much flesh left under the big tree beside him, but he could still see that it was the naked body of a woman.
Except that it was a bit worse, he was no different from the naked guy in front of him who was about the same age as himself.
The young man with the sword on his back pointed at the naked corpse with a confused look on his face, and stammered: "D-did you do this?"
Dong Qingqiu looked at the sword-carrying boy with a look of disdain on his face in surprise. He looked in the direction of his finger and then suddenly realized, he quickly waved his hand and explained, "I didn't do it."
"Then why aren't you wearing any clothes?" the sword-carrying boy asked crisply.
"When I woke up, I had no clothes on me," Dong Qingqiu said.
"You even lost your clothes when you slept, and you still don't admit that you did it?" The sword-carrying boy stared at the perverted boy in front of him with his eyes wide open in disbelief.
"When did you say that I'm asleep and I'm not wearing any clothes, am I not a good person?" Dong Qingqiu stood up and confronted the boy carrying the sword.
The boy carrying the sword hurriedly took a few steps back, trying to distance himself from Dong Qingqiu.
Dong Qingqiu looked at the sword-carrying boy who kept retreating, trying to distance himself from him, and followed him decisively without hesitation.
"Hey, hey, hey, stop, stop, stop."
The boy carrying the sword was finally blocked by a big tree. He looked at Dong Qingqiu who was getting closer and closer to him with horrified eyes. He hurriedly pulled out the peach wood sword behind him and put it between the two of them.
Dong Qingqiu hurriedly stopped and said with a smile: "If you have something to say, why do you still draw your sword?"
The young man with the sword on his back looked like he was fighting against others. No, it's a man wielding a sword. He didn't forget to pretend to stab a few forwards, and said with a happy face, "Come on, why don't you go forward?"
"What a pervert, rape first and then kill, or kill first and then rape?"
"You killed everyone, right?"
"Your sword is pointed at my throat. If I say no, will you kill me?" Dong Qingqiu said with a smile.
The young man carrying the sword suddenly squinted his eyes and asked with a gossipy face: "Did you do that?" The young man carrying the sword gestured with his chin.
"You can kill me, but you can't destroy my innocence." Dong Qingqiu said with a straight face.
"Am I going to kill you? It's obvious that you just wanted to kill me." The young man with the sword on his back slung the sword behind him.
"Who are you?" Dong Qingqiu ignored it and asked instead.
The young man carrying the sword was frank, not afraid at all, and said it in one breath: "The little Taoist Zhou Zhili comes from Longhu Mountain in the territory of the Black Qin Dynasty. You, the Sui Dynasty, said that there is a Taoist immortal here who does evil and has cultivated the Three Taoist Immortals. We are the ones who can eliminate violence and make peace. It’s the Taoist Immortal’s duty, so I’m here.”
Dong Qingqiu's heart skipped a beat, had I stabbed the Taoist Immortal's nest? How many months have you been back? I meet Taoist immortals every day.
This one is from Longhu Mountain. I'd better wish for myself.
"Are you a Taoist Immortal? Or a Taoist Immortal from Longhu Mountain?" Dong Qingqiu asked in disbelief.
"Don't ask about Taoist immortals."
"Boy, let me ask you, who are you?" Zhou Zhili suddenly started pretending.
"My Excellency, Liu Gong! I'm from Hongye Village." Dong Qingqiu said seriously.
"Are you a local here? Then why did I just check around and there was no living person around?" Zhou Zhili asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Dong Qingqiu suddenly realized it, pointed at Zhou Zhi with his eyes wide open, and said: "So you already knew that I was not responsible for this, and you are still making fun of me?"
Zhou Zhili hurriedly pointed his sword at Dong Qingqiu, smiling and gesturing for him to put his hand down so as not to hurt his harmony. If you really start to fight, it's not necessarily who will get beaten.
"Master Dao is really good at joking, I'm just joking." Dong Qingqiu slowly lowered his raised fist and smiled kindly.
"What do you mean you just struck me with a sickle?" Zhou Zhili suddenly asked, sitting upright.
When Dong Qingqiu heard this, he started crying alone, with runny nose and tears. He sat on the ground and told about what happened here last night.
"Master Tao, have you ever heard of Liu Caiqi?" Dong Qingqiu said in a low voice as low as possible.
"Who is she? What does it have to do with this matter?" Zhou Zhili asked curiously.
Dong Qingqiu was stunned for a moment, and secretly praised in his heart: Wow, what a good method. I thought I was the one who was lying to others, but it turns out that you are also lying to others. Maybe even the name is fake? A sect as big as Longhu Mountain doesn't know Empress Liu from Houmu Mountain.
Since I don’t know, then I have to lie!
Dong Qingqiu rushed forward, hugged Zhou Zhi's leg and cried bitterly, not forgetting to wipe his hands on his trouser legs.
Zhou Zhili was almost frightened by Dong Qingqiu's move and almost chopped him down with his sword.
"Don't wipe your snot on my trouser legs!" Zhou Zhili said helplessly and disgustedly.
Dong Qingqiu burst into tears and cried bitterly: "Master Tao, you don't know something! I am a villager in Hongye Village at the foot of the mountain. Last night, I listened to my father's words and went to the Taoist village alone. I went to hand over the food. I didn’t expect to meet an old man and a young man having an affair here and having sex. I denounced this behavior and was about to leave quietly..."
Zhou Zhili suddenly interrupted: "Didn't you peek?"
"Master Dao! My whole family is dead, and you are still in the mood to say such sarcastic words here. Is your heart also made of stone?"
Dong Qingqiu cried heartbrokenly, making Zhou Zhili feel embarrassed and guilty.
"Brother, I, I didn't mean that." Zhou Zhili quickly explained: "I saw you were crying too sadly, so I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere."
"Master Tao! You are a god on the mountain, but you must avenge us." Dong Qingqiu buried his head deeply in Zhou Zhili's legs and cried heartbreakingly.
Zhou Zhili quickly opened Dong Qingqiu's arms around his legs, helped him up, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you, but you have to tell me clearly the cause and effect first, so that I can take revenge for you." When you take revenge, don’t let others down. Take these three corpses for example!”
Dong Qingqiu ignored Zhou Zhili and squatted beside Zhang Li's body.
Zhou Zhi was confused by Qingqiu's behavior and asked quickly: "Liu Gong, how do you take off a dead man's clothes?"
Dong Qingqiu turned around, with a face full of tears and snot, and said, "Didn't Master Dao see it? I have no clothes to wear!"
Zhou Zhili had no choice but to cover his eyes and waved his hand to signal Dong Qingqiu to hurry up.
Zhou Zhili took his hand away and looked at Dong Qingqiu, who was in tatters and couldn't cover his clothes in many places, and said calmly: "Speak now!"
Dong Qingqiu tugged on his clothes with his hands to cover his exposed buttocks, and said with a choked voice, "I really didn't watch when Master Dao and the two of them did it."
"That child behind you is crying and shouting, don't bully my mother!" Dong Qingqiu pointed at his own body behind Zhou Zhili, and continued to choke with sobs: "This old guy under my butt, he is shameless, pick up his hand He cut him with the knife in his pocket. Not satisfied, he hit the child with his fists, and finally cut off his head with a knife. He can't find it now. Maybe it was picked up by a wild wolf. Oh, how pitiful. .”
Dong Qingqiu sat on the ground dancing and crying like a shrew in the village.
Zhou Zhili looked at Dong Qingqiu, who was crying bitterly, with a shocked look on his face, and he didn't look like he was lying.
Dong Qingqiu's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and his voice was as loud as a cow. He continued to cry bitterly: "This child's mother didn't even have time to put on clothes. She hugged the headless child and cried miserably."
"At this time, another naked woman came over and cuddled up to the old man. She was Liu Caiqi. In order to gain the favor of the rich old man, he stabbed the girl in the abdomen with a knife."
"I was so frightened that my legs were shaking. When I wanted to walk, I couldn't walk. The mountain road was rugged, slippery, and rainy. It was not easy to walk at all. I My feet slipped and I fell down, and they found me."
"So you still peeked, right?"
Zhou Zhili clung to this issue and refused to let it go.
"Yes. I peeked, but can you blame me for this? As an ignorant young man, anyone who encounters this kind of thing will take a second look."
"Fortunately, I was familiar with the mountain roads. I ran down the mountain in a short time and hid in my donkey shed. But I didn't expect that the woman named Liu Caiqi was also a Taoist immortal. She secretly followed me into the village. , killed everyone in the village, and burned the entire village on fire before leaving. I couldn't put out the fire, and I was still on fire. If I hadn't jumped into the well in the end, maybe even I would have died. Burned to death.”
"As for why the old man died in the end, I don't know. Maybe he was beaten to death by the Taoist in the village."
"However, there is no mountain village here, but there is a collapsed mountain peak with many broken limbs of buildings, but there are no traces of any dead people." Zhou Zhili said doubtfully.
"Um..." Dong Qingqiu leaned into Zhou Zhili's ear and whispered: "Do you think there is a possibility that the man in the village beat the old man to death. The old man's mistress Liu Caiqi happened to be a Taoist immortal, and then Liu Caiqi slaughtered everyone in the village."
"How do you know her name is Liu Caiqi?"
"When the old man was riding on her, he said, 'Liu Caiqi, you little slut.' I couldn't have read it wrong." Dong Qingqiu said with great certainty.
Zhou Zhi frowned and ignored Dong Qingqiu's words. Instead, he muttered to himself and whispered:
"Female Taoist Immortal? She is rare in the world! Maybe this old man is also a Taoist Immortal, and a very powerful Taoist Immortal."
Zhou Zhili suddenly looked at Dong Qingqiu with disgust and said, "Do you people here love lying so much?"
Dong Qingqiu was stunned and asked in a panic: "What do you mean?"
Zhou Zhili then said: "Your officials in the Sui Dynasty said that there is only one Sandao Immortal here, why do so many suddenly appear? Liu Gong, tell the truth, are the folk customs here very bad? Why do you all love to lie?"
"As if you never lied." Dong Qingqiu muttered softly.
"I, Zhou Zhili, behave well, sit upright, and have never done anything wrong!" Zhou Zhili said disdainfully.
"Then you're talking behind people's backs."
Dong Qingqiu rolled his eyes wide.
Zhou Zhili looked around and turned to leave.
Dong Qingqiu hurriedly grabbed Zhou Zhili's Taoist robe and asked: "Master Taoist, where are you going?"
"Of course I'm leaving, otherwise I'm looking for death here?" Zhou Zhili said.
"What about the hatred of my parents? What about the hatred of the whole village?" Dong Qingqiu asked in disbelief.
"What does it have to do with me?"
"Don't you want to eliminate violence and bring peace to peace?"
"Didn't they all die before their eyes?"
"Where is that woman in the cottage?"
"Then I didn't see it, so it's not my responsibility." Zhou Zhili shrugged.
"Are you afraid?" Dong Qingqiu still refused to give up and said excitedly.
"Well, yes, I'm scared." Zhou Zhili said frankly.
"Master Dao, you two are so afraid of us joining forces!" Dong Qingqiu said angrily.
"Me! Sword Immortal." Zhou Zhili pointed at himself and continued: "Joining forces with you, a naked man without clothes? Are you going to die?"
"But, you took our Sui Dynasty's money." Dong Qingqiu said.
"Which eye saw me taking it?" Zhou Zhili asked arrogantly.
Dong Qingqiu pointed to the ground and whispered: "Master Tao, the silver accidentally fell out. It has the official seal of our Sui Dynasty on it."
Dong Qingqiu looked at Zhou Zhili with a murderous look on his face and smiled awkwardly.
Two words came out of Zhou Zhili's mouth: "Be reasonable."
The sword in the sword box slowly flew out.
