Chapter 10: Whispering Shadows in Qianqiu's Footpath (Part 2)(1/2)
"Quick! Hurry! Hurry!" Qingniu stepped on the flying sword and turned into a green rainbow and flew towards the village. He was anxious and wanted to arrive in the village immediately to see what was going on.
Fortunately, the cave opened by Qingniu was very close to the village, and soon he arrived at the village.
Just standing at the entrance of the village, Qingniu's body suddenly shook.
——The strong demonic aura made him, a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, secretly shocked him.
When the green bull stepped into the village, the scene in front of him made his legs and feet weak instantly.
He fell to his knees weakly...
"It's gone, it's gone." The concentration gained from decades of practice has disappeared at this moment. Qingniu's eyes were dull, and he looked at the scene in the village tightly, and tears fell across his cheeks and fell into the ground.
He saw hell on earth!
Hundreds of villagers lying around the big locust tree, holding tools such as axes tightly in their hands. It seemed that they were grasping the long life they could obtain and refused to let go.
And their bodies have long been incomplete.
"Is this person, Ergou?"
He still remembers the events before the Taoist practice. The scene of Ergou being punished by his husband with a ruler is still vivid in his mind... Qingniu looked at a corpse with only his upper body in a daze, silent.
"Is this person, Aunt Liu?"
The aunt who saw her off back then lay on the ground. Now she is just a corpse that has lost all limbs.
"Is this person, Uncle Li?"
The cheerful man back then always liked to pinch his nose... Now it is just a corpse with a heart cut open.
...
Where is my father?
Where is my father?
Qingniu stood up, his steps were a little unstable, stumbled, and searched wildly.
"Dad, Dad." shouted helplessly.
It's like playing his favorite hide-and-seek as a child...
One person looks for it, and one person hides it.
"Dad, come out, Qingniu can't find you..."
"Dad, let's not play anymore, the child doesn't want to look for it anymore..."
"Dad, come out quickly..."
"Qingniu, scared."
...
The green bull stumbled under the big locust tree and suddenly widened his eyes.
——He saw his father waving to him!
"Dad, it's great! You're fine." Qingniu smiled. He brewed his words and ran over to hug his father...
He wanted to say: We must leave here quickly! This place is too dangerous, we need to find a safe place to live. And I will always be with you...
Thinking of these words, his spiritual power activates and rushes towards him.
Unfortunately, he had no chance to say it.
Qingniu's father's body slowly fell down, and the branches that had just controlled his body slowly dissipated.
——His father had long been dead.
An old woman sat on the locust tree. Her eyes revealed a terrifying red color, and black mist was flowing around her, strange and mysterious.
"Come on, Qingniu, let grandma see."
Qingniu stared blankly at the fallen old man with expressionless face. After a long time, he slowly walked towards the old woman...
It’s like I always liked to come to the big locust tree to play when I was a child, so relaxed and so carefree.
"Good boy."
It's like an old lady watching her grandson walking towards her,
happy,
joy,
warmth.
...
"call out!"
The old woman suddenly stretched out her two fingers.
——She clamped a flying sword with her fingers!
The flying sword was filled with cold air, and the biting cold air seemed to declare the master's rage, but the trembling sword body showed that it could be broken at any time.
"Why?" Qingniu's tone was very calm.
"Why." His voice began to tremble a little, and his pace accelerated.
"Why!" The green bull roared and took out many attack talismans from the storage bag and smashed them at the old woman.
"They... were all grown up when you watched them! Why!..." His eyes turned red and his voice became hysterical.
However, the old woman waved her hand casually, and all the talismans flew backwards in an instant, and the green cow was also caught by the branches that suddenly emerged from the ground and fell heavily to the ground.
"Why do you ask? Then why don't you ask them?"
"Swish."
The sound of flesh entering.
Qingniu widened his eyes and looked at the branches that instantly pierced his heart in disbelief.
The old woman's gloomy words echoed in her ears:
"After I killed them, I also used demonic power to invade their souls. Hehehe! They will never enter the cycle of reincarnation until their souls are gone! It's really retribution! Hehehe!"
"You are my favorite green cow in grandma... Well, that grandma... I'll give you a scattered soul!" The old woman laughed strangely.
Qingniu's consciousness has almost dissipated.
"I understand..."
Before his death, the green cow looked at the corpses around him. Almost all of the corpses held the tools needed to cut down trees.
He suddenly realized something.
"The death of everyone is not blamed on themselves, nor is it blamed on Grandma Huaishu...but on me!!!"
"It was me who accidentally aroused the greed of the villagers! It was me who blocked Grandma Huaishu from pursuing her heart! It was me who destroyed the village!"
However, he could no longer say these words. At this moment, he was lying on the ground, widening his eyes unwillingly, with two blood and tears passing through his cheeks, and finally his eyes were frozen...
As the wind blew, a horrifying whimper sounded in the village. It seemed to be the cry of hundreds of unjust souls, which was breathtaking.
—————
It was pouring rain.
On the official road, Jiang Li was wearing a straw raincoat, closed his eyes and remained silent.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
Just now, after consuming some of his will, the story of Qingniu Village quickly flashed in his mind, like a lantern.
Although the content is not detailed, Jiang Li has a rough understanding of this story.
——Even if he only learned about this story briefly, his heart still felt melancholy.
After a long sigh, he disappeared.
...
"Do you know, the master ordered me to kill you. I didn't expect that you had such strong vitality and would not die." Ye Changge said helplessly.
"What if you can run away? In the end, more cultivators will chase you and prevent you from harming the world..."
"Hundreds of unjust souls in Qingniu Village are so resentful. At that time, we thought that there was a demon cultivator who was killing people to practice martial arts. Unexpectedly, it was your locust tree... or a locust tree that has protected the village for thousands of years..."
Ye Changge shook his head: "It's really ironic."
The old woman's eyes were red and her expression was ferocious.
"It's true that ironic, the ironic thing is that I have protected them for so long... I didn't kill them in advance!" The old woman waved her hand, and countless branches rushed towards Ye Changge, with a rapid momentum.
Ye Changge quickly sacrificed his flying sword.
"Sword Formation Result·Lin!"
"Hehe, what can you do to me?" As he said that, the old woman waved her hand again, and countless branches rushed over, unstoppable. The flying sword flew with light, as if it turned into a glowing cover, which was airtight.
