"Mr. Xu, are you injured?" The other party sounded anxious. He stepped forward to check Xu Mo's pulse and checked for injuries, but Xu Mo refused to let the other party touch him and quickly backed away as if he was electrocuted.
Because he was dizzy, he tripped and fell to the ground.
But from beginning to end, Xu Mo's eyes never left this person.
In fact, the appearance of this person made Xu Mo fall into shock and confusion, and even doubted his life a little.
"Mr. Xu, what's wrong with you?" the man asked with a simple voice and a sincere attitude.
At this time, Xu Mo said: "Who are you?"
The man was stunned when he heard this.
"Mr. Xu doesn't recognize me anymore? A few days ago, you lived in my house, and I even treated you. However, my medical skills are not as good as those of my father and my sister, so I didn't do much to help Mr. Xu?"
"I went out that day and came back the next day. The village was empty. There was no one there. My father, my sister, my wife and my daughter were all missing. I have been searching everywhere for the past few days but found nothing. I am almost dying of panic.
I didn't expect to meet Mr. Xu here. Where are Mr. Xu, my father and the others? Where are they?"
The person in front of Xu Mo at this moment was Dr. Qu's son.
Real name, Qu Yuanzhi.
It's not that Xu Mo doesn't know him.
We know each other so well.
That day Xu Mo discovered that more than 300 people in Qu Village were missing. He used the world of humanity to suppress his state of mind and went after him. When he arrived outside the village, he met Qu Yuanzhi.
According to the human state of mind, one should stand from a high place, observe the world with cold eyes, be ruthless, and renounce desires. Knowing that Qu Yuan would inevitably suffer pain when he returned home, Xu Mo made a decision in a ruthless and severing state of mind.
kill.
In this way, you can cut off the pain and torture that the other party will inevitably encounter.
Just like killing a war horse after accidentally breaking its foot, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain.
Similarly, it is also to cut off the "human" side of oneself in order to reach a higher realm in the human world.
Later, Xu Mo did rely on this matter to improve his mood and achieve greater gains.
But at this moment, the living Qu Yuanzhi stood in front of him, with a concerned look on his face. At that moment, Xu Mo felt his scalp numb, and there was an indescribable fear in his heart.
In addition to fear, there is more confusion.
After all, he had experienced a lot of strange and terrifying things, and had seen a lot. At this time, Xu Mo finally stopped being surprised and analyzed the matter carefully.
He also carefully observed Qu Yuanzhi in front of him.
Just now he suspected that Qu Yuanzhi was also an illusion.
After all, he has seen so many hallucinations recently that he can't tell the difference between reality and illusion.
But obviously, Qu Yuanzhi in front of him is not an illusion, nor is he a ghost.
Because from the perspective of breath and vitality, they are no different from living people.
Weird, it can't do this, let alone hallucination.
To confirm this, Xu Mo suddenly reached out and grabbed the other party's arm.
There is temperature.
And there is a pulse.
"Mr. Xu, what happened to you?" Qu Yuanzhi did not struggle.
Xu Mo took a deep breath at this moment: "Doctor Qu, when did you return to the village that time you went out?"
"On the afternoon of the next day, when I came back, I found that the village was empty. There was no one in the whole village, more than 90 households. By the way, even the chickens, ducks and dogs were missing. I was very anxious at the time and searched everywhere to report it.
The official came to investigate, but there was no result. But with so many people, how could they not be found even though they said they couldn't find it? I searched everywhere. I passed by this place today and saw something strange in the forest, so I came in to investigate and found it.
Mr. Xu."
These words were spoken very naturally.
Xu Mo observed carefully and found no problems.
At that time, there were some blood stains left in Qucun.
But Xu Mo immediately thought that there was a heavy rain at that time, and Qu Yuanzhi only came back in the afternoon. The rain had stopped, and after half a day of washing, even if there were traces, they were gone.
So Qu Yuanzhi didn't know the situation.
This all makes sense.
But the problem just occurred.
If the person in front of me is Qu Yuanzhi, then who did he kill that day?
For a moment, Xu Mo fell into confusion.
"Axi, listen carefully!"
Xu Mo was silent for a long time and then called out.
The Rusty Sword and the Listening Sword floated over immediately.
Seeing this scene, Qu Yuanzhi was frightened.
He has never seen such a scene. Two swords can actually float on their own. Is this a ghost?
He took a few steps back.
At this time, Qu Yuanzhi discovered a person lying in the distance.
That man was covered in white hair and looked extremely weird.
Qu Yuanzhi's heart was beating wildly. This person had the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. He knew that the situation here was strange. Even if Xu Mo was an acquaintance, an acquaintance might not necessarily be a good person.
He might also be a bad person.
Then I remembered what my little sister had said at that time, that Mr. Xu was very weird, and I felt even more panicked.
He immediately took a few steps back and ran away in a hurry.
Xu Mo didn't stop him.
He now wanted to confirm something with Ah Xiu.
That was that day. Who or what was it that they killed?
Xu Mo asked, Ah Ruo recalled it and said, "I remembered it."
"explain!"
"It's a tree!"
"A tree?"
"Yes, Master Xu was chasing out of the village. He suddenly stopped and asked me to chop down a tree, and then continued the pursuit."
This time, Xu Mo was stunned for a full minute.
"I told you that you have a problem yourself, and you still don't believe me?" The blind man's voice appeared again.
Xu Mo immediately waved his sword with his backhand.
But it came to nothing.
The blind man disappeared again.
But you can hear each other's laughter.
There was a certain mockery and a kind of pride in the laughter.
Xu Mo took a deep breath at this time, glanced at the white-haired corpse on the ground over there, and stretched out his hand.
A ball of green fire burst out, and in an instant, the body of the white-haired monster was ignited by the green fire.
At this moment, Xu Mo had already jumped up and chased in the direction where Qu Yuanzhi left just now.
Inside a ruined temple.
Qu Yuanzhi ran back staggeringly, and there were already two people here.
One man and one woman.
The man is in his twenties and dressed like a hunter, while the woman is in her forties, with half of her hair gray, and has no so-called feminine beauty.
"Doctor Qu, what's wrong?" The two men saw that Qu Yuanzhi's expression was wrong, so they stepped forward and asked.
"No, it's nothing!" Qu Yuanzhi didn't know how to explain, so he simply kept silent.
The other two people are also from Qucun.
Like Qu Yuanzhi, he was lucky enough to avoid strange disappearances. One went out hunting, and the other went to another village to see his married daughter.
Naturally, there are also their family members in Qu Village, so the three of them got together to search for the missing villagers.
I just worked hard for a few days and got nothing.
Although the government is also investigating, there are no results.
Whenever they think of their missing family members in the village, the three of them often burst into tears.
When Xu Mo arrived, the three of them were making a fire to cook.
He did not disturb the three of them. Xu Mo analyzed this matter on the way. Ah Ruo said that he was cutting a tree at that time, so that should be correct.
Combined with the fact that he had just understood the universe of humanity at that time and was affected by the situation in Qu Village, Xu Mo urgently needed to perfect the universe of humanity, so he learned to observe trees as people.
Kill it.
Since he had already beheaded him, Xu Mo naturally did not need to behead him again.
He came here just to make sure that the Qu Yuanzhi he saw was not something weird.
There is nothing he can do, right now he is confused by "Ghost Talk" and can't tell the difference between truth and fiction, so he has to be sure.
Naturally, with Xu Mo's current cultivation level, even if he stood in front of Qu Yuanzhi, it would be impossible for him to find out if he wanted to avoid it.
Xu Mo really did this.
He used his blinding technique at this moment, then walked closer and sat down.
First, to distinguish the authenticity from the false, and second, to listen to what Qu Yuanzhi and the others have to say.
By listening to their conversation, Xu Mo already knew that the other two were also survivors in Qucun.
Also, there are more than 90 households and more than 300 people, and not everyone is always in the village.
There are always people going out to do errands.
At this time, Qu Yuanzhi was obviously a little distracted.
The other two people saw it and asked more questions. In the end, Qu Yuanzhi finally revealed the reason and revealed the situation of 'Mr. Xu'.
"Doctor Qu, you mean, you just met Mr. Xu?" Orion asked.
Qu Yuanzhi nodded.
"As you said, Mr. Xu has a strange background and doesn't seem like a good person."
On this matter, the three people obviously had the same view.
They discussed carefully, analyzed rigorously, and finally came to a result.
"The disappearance of people from Qucun must be related to Mr. Xu!"
"Yes, he was there that night, and he acted strangely. Just when Dr. Qu saw him, he felt that his behavior was abnormal, and there were monster corpses around him. I think that the disappearance of people in the village was a good thing he did."
"Let's go find him."
"Wait a moment."
"What's wrong? I can't wait any longer. My little son is only three years old. If this person named Xu really does harm, I will fight him. Even if he is a ghost, I will not let him go."
"I mean, that person must have a method that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Otherwise, how could there be more than 300 people in the village alive but not dead or dead? We need to find him, but we need to make some plans."
"Yes, you need to plan it."
Xu Mo sat next to him, listening to the three people making various plans for him.
Poison, sneak attack, report to the official and have the officer arrest you.
Xu Mo looked at them. He didn't feel aggrieved because he was misunderstood. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's fine!"
Xu Mo stood up, took one more look at Qu Yuanzhi and the other three, and then drifted away.
It has been firmly established that Qu Yuanzhi is the real Qu Yuanzhi.
The other party is really not dead.
In addition to Qu Yuanzhi, there are other survivors who want revenge and find their families.
Rather than being immersed in the pain of despair, it would be good to set a goal of seeking revenge now.
Hatred is also a source of strength.
And this power is very powerful.
Among the methods of cultivating immortals, there is a method of using "hatred" to improve one's realm and convert it into magic power.
"If you have goals in life, you will not be empty. If you are not empty, you will not have time to immerse yourself in pain."
When Xu Mo returned to the Xiangshui Lake, it was already late at night.
Lin Jiuyuan and others sensed Xu Mo's aura and immediately greeted them, but Xu Mo sent them back one by one.
"I'll be alone!"
Xu Mo walked along the lake.
"Actually, you should kill those three people. Wouldn't it be better to kill them and cut off the hatred?" The blind man's voice came from the side.
Xu Mo ignored him.
The blind man was still chattering, and Xu Mo seemed not to hear him, looking at the lake, the moon, and the scenery.
At this moment, I felt something strange behind me. When I turned around, I saw that it was the members of the Qu family.
I know it's an illusion, but this time the Qu family is different from before.
The family of seven became a family of six.
Qu Yuanzhi is missing.
And Doctor Qu's appearance seemed to be no longer as scary and sinister as before.
He was still smiling, more like the way he did when we first met.
Xu Mo nodded at the other party and continued walking slowly.
For a moment, his figure seemed to blend into the surrounding scenery, blending into one.
"Where are the people?" the blind man's voice sounded: "Why can't I see you?"
The tone was very unexpected, even panicked.
"Here he is!" Xu Mo's voice sounded from behind the blind man.
The latter was startled.
Look back.
Just like before, Xu Mo looked at it.
Role reversal.
Although the blind man is blind, its empty eye sockets full of scars seem to be full of doubts.
"You..." The blind man didn't know what to say.
Xu Mo smiled: "Thank you very much."
"Thank me for what?" The blind man was confused, with a hint of anger in his voice.
It seems that it doesn't want to be thanked.
It prefers others to hate it and loathe it.
"Without you, I would not have taken a step forward in "The Universe of Humanity". I also understand that what I thought was a perfect state of mind was actually just the first step."
"What is the world of humanity? Humph, it's just a crooked way." The blind man disdained.
"Which method in this world is not crooked?" Xu Mo was not annoyed at all. Seeing that the blind man wanted to talk, he waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go, don't disturb me from admiring the moon and the lake!"
The next moment, the blind man trembled all over, as if he was shattered by a force and disappeared without a trace.
