As a fairy state where demon immortals live, Black Ming State is one of the largest in size.
The area of this Xianzhou is similar to that of Zhongxing Prefecture, with vast land and rich resources.
Similarly, in the fairy world, mortals are still the main life forms, thriving and thriving on this land, and they are also the foundation for the development of immortals.
However, just in the northeast of Black Hades State, in an insignificant corner, there is an extremely peaceful mortal village.
Mochou Village.
The reason why it is called this is that this village is really not rich, and the people living here, in order to have enough food and clothing, so they gave it such a name, which can be regarded as a good wish.
The Zhou family is considered a wealthy family in Mochou Village.
It is said that the ancestors of the Zhou family once had immortals and left a lot of wealth to their descendants. Although it has been passed down for dozens of generations and the wealth has been squandered, the Zhou family is still quite prestigious.
However, the current head of the Zhou family, who is over fifty years old, still has no heirs, which has become the most troublesome thing for him.
But not long ago, his newly married second wife suddenly got pregnant!
This Coke is broken. The head of the family burns incense and prays to God every day to fulfill his wishes. The Zhou family will have a child!
But this time Zhou Jia###'s belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day. She was originally pregnant and gave birth to her baby in ten months, but the baby just didn't come out and stayed in her belly for a full eighteen months!
However, as soon as the child was born, tragedy struck for the Zhou family. Bandits came from nowhere, robbed the Zhou family of their property, and actually killed everyone in the Zhou family!
But it is said...it is just said...
The bandits stormed into the nursery and hacked the second wife to death. The newborn child suddenly opened his eyes and said: You all deserve to die!
Just saying this sentence, all the bandits immediately started to bleed from their orifices and died strangely on the spot!
Of course, this is only a rumor. After all, everyone in the Zhou family at that time, including the Zhou family and the bandits, died. There was not a single witness left, and only the baby survived!
Later, the poor child was adopted by kind people in the village, but eight years later, the child never said a word.
He's a mute!
As time went by and the child remained silent, everyone began to no longer believe in the legend of the massacre of the Zhou family eight years ago.
However, as the child grew older, his personality became more and more withdrawn and eccentric, and he became a well-known freak in Mochou Village!
He had no name, but the kindhearted person who adopted him saw that he was lonely and lonely, so he called him Zhou Gu.
Zhou Gu also responded to this name. He never played with his peers and always stared at the sky in a daze every day, not knowing what he was thinking.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Gu celebrated his sixteenth birthday, and the kind man who adopted him also passed away peacefully on that day.
However, on this day, several experts came to Mochou Village.
Each of them wore dark-colored Taoist robes with unique styles and fierce faces. It was said that they were from the Xianjia sect. They were traveling around and passing by here, hoping to find qualified mortals to take back to cultivate immortality.
In such a remote village, such an expert would never visit for many years.
I saw these five people coming from the sky with flying swords on their feet. They were immediately worshiped by the people of Mochou Village.
The village chief even greeted him personally and treated him with the highest courtesy, showing great respect.
"Well, although it is difficult for you to have any qualified people in a remote mountainous area like yours, we still call all the teenagers, including children, under the age of 16 in the village, and let us Taoists take a look!"
The person in question is a guy with a roe-headed rat-like face, a sallow complexion, a black mole as big as a thumb on the corner of his mouth, and a few white hairs on it.
He sat in the living room of the village chief's house, sneered at the tea served, and waved his hands impatiently.
"Yes! Mr. Dao, I'll do it right away!" The village chief didn't dare to offend, so he quickly went to organize it.
After a stick of incense was burned, more than two hundred young children were brought to the courtyard of the village chief's house.
Among them, naturally that weirdo Zhou Gu was included!
"Only so many people?" The yellow-faced Taoist priest frowned and pulled the goatee on his chin and said, "It seems there really aren't many good ones!"
"Master Dao, our village is not big to begin with. All the teenagers and children in the village are already here!" the village chief said quickly.
"Yes!" The yellow-faced Taoist priest nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Take them all away!"
"What? Master Tao...you said you want to take them all away? Don't you only select those who are qualified to cultivate immortality?" The village chief couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.
"What's the matter? Master Tao, have I changed my mind?" The yellow-faced Taoist priest raised his eyes and said, "None of these children can cultivate immortality! However, it is enough to refine the medicine for Master Tao!"
"Refining medicine?" the village chief asked in confusion: "You mean... can I be a medicine boy for you?"
"Haha, being medicine boys? They are not good enough!" The yellow-faced Taoist priest curled his lips and said: "At best, they can be used as firewood, using the flames produced by burning the body and soul of children, so they are only so-so at refining alchemy!"
"What?" The village chief's eyes widened and he sat down on the ground. He quickly stood up and begged: "Master Tao, this is absolutely impossible! These children are the future pillars of Mochou Village!
"
"Damn it, you're just a mortal, how dare you tell me what's wrong?" The yellow-faced Taoist priest's expression darkened, he raised his hand and waved his sleeves, and suddenly a domineering energy burst out and hit the village chief.
!
The village chief was already over 70 years old. How could he survive such a blow to the chest? His body was rolled backwards and flew out, hitting the wall hard. His orifices were bleeding, and his sternum and internal organs were shattered. He died just like that!
"What?" Upon seeing this, some surrounding villagers immediately picked up farming equipment, protected the group of children, and looked at the five Taoist priests with hostility.
"Oh, it's really troublesome. Let's kill them all. Anyway, there is no use keeping such a small and broken village!" The yellow-faced Taoist priest said and waved his hand, and the four fierce-looking guys behind him showed a ferocious smile and looked at the group of villagers.
They walked slowly.
However, at this moment, the weirdo Zhou Gu, who had never spoken before, opened his mouth and said: "If you bully others with your skills, you are destined to be killed!"
"Huh? Who is talking? With such an arrogant tone, don't you feel brave?" Several Taoist priests were stunned and immediately began to search.
The other children were so frightened by this scene that they were crying and speechless. They were so scared that their whole bodies were shaking like quails. But Zhou Gu stepped forward and said with a puff of chest, "I said so!"
"Oops? Are you tired of living?" A Taoist priest stepped forward, raised his hand and grabbed the skirt of Zhou Gu's chest.
"You really deserve to die!" Zhou Gu only said this sentence.
Suddenly, the five Taoist priests were shocked, and a force invisible to the naked eye swept in from nowhere and invaded their bodies!
"What...what's going on?" These guys were extremely shocked, but before they had time to react, they were already bleeding from all their orifices, and their bodies fell limply to the ground one after another, twitching continuously, and dying one after another!
"He spoke... He spoke... That freak, isn't he mute? He actually spoke!"
"And... these five immortals died after Jean said those words. It's terrible. So... what happened to the Zhou family sixteen years ago turned out to be true!"
"A freak, he is definitely a freak. Maybe the Zhou family was wiped out by bandits, and the reason why these guys came to our Mochou Village today and killed the village chief is all because of him!"
"Yes, that's right, that's definitely the case. He is a broom star and a disaster star!"
"Even immortals can be killed by him in one fell swoop. Maybe one day we will be the ones who die, and he will destroy the whole village!"
Zhou Gu saved everyone, but the reaction of the villagers became like this. Everyone looked at him with eyes full of fear, disgust and fear!
"Everyone has misunderstood. It's not that I don't want to speak, it's just that there is no point in my speaking!" Zhou Gu couldn't help but explain when he saw everyone's extreme reaction.
"Stop explaining, you scourge, get out of Mochou Village! Don't come to harm us again!" The people raised their weapons one after another, and started to drive towards the benefactor who had just saved their lives.
.
Will kindness be repaid with vengeance?
As if he had anticipated this scene, Zhou Gu shook his head helplessly, looked down at the corpses of the five Taoist priests on the ground, sighed, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the village.
Anyway, he has no nostalgia for this place.
He has known many things since he was born, and... he seems to have a strange power, able to control life and death...
He has been thinking about it for the past sixteen years.
Who am I, and what do I want to do when I come to this world?
Because somewhere in the dark, he always had a memory in his mind that he should do something big, but this memory was very vague, and until now he still couldn't figure anything out.
"It's time to leave!"
"This place...is definitely not my destination, and I don't belong here either...sixteen years ago...that's how it was!"
Zhou Gu left the village muttering to himself, not even thinking of looking back at his hometown again.
It's like a passerby or a traveler who just passes by here by chance. Nothing about him has anything to do with this place.
But... where he should go and what he should do, even he himself doesn't know...
His figure gradually disappeared into the woods of the mountains, leaving only a series of footprints leading into the distance.
However, he always felt that his path did not start here, but that he had been moving forward a long time ago and had gone very far.
Where is the end point?
He didn't know, he only knew that there seemed to be many secrets hidden in his mind.
Perhaps, when he completely unlocks those secrets, the value of his coming to this world will be truly clear, but where will this road go...
