ugly man

A few days later, Lu Nanzhu's father's death day arrived.

In the morning, Lu Nanzhu took the sacrifices he bought from Qingzhou, and went out with Xia Qinyi.

When he came to the lonely tombstone, Lu Nanzhu placed the sacrifices and said to himself, "Do you think my parents' tombstones are a bit strange?"

Xia Qinyi nodded, and Lu Nanzhu showed a wry smile: There are some things that should be confessed.

"Wait for a while, and I'll tell you."

Xia Qinyi also accompanied her to kneel in front of the grave.

"you……"

"We are good friends, right?"

"Ah."

"Then of course I will come to visit your parents, you won't dislike it, right?"

"of course not."

Lu Nanzhu slapped the clay off the wine jar, and the mellow wine smell wafted out.

She sprinkled some on the ground, then put the wine jar next to the tribute, and said: "Father, mother; my daughter brought my father's favorite bamboo leaf green, and my mother's favorite peach cake; my daughter has grown up and spent two years In the past few years, I have seen a lot and understood a lot... My daughter told me last time that she wanted to know her own life experience, the names of her parents, and wanted to change a new tombstone for her parents and write your names on it. Now my daughter I already know a little bit, and I will succeed immediately, I hope my parents will bless..."

After finishing speaking, Lu Nanzhu knocked his head heavily three times, burned some paper money and ingots, and then left with Xia Qinyi.

The two did not go back to the village, but walked to a hillside casually, and sat cross-legged on the withered grass.

After knowing each other for so long, it was the first time Xia Qinyi saw Lu Nanzhu so serious, she sat up straight and waited for Lu Nanzhu to speak.

Lu Nanzhu sighed softly, and said calmly: "You have also seen that there is not even a name on the tombstone of my parents."

"Um……"

"As far as I can remember, our family of three has been on the road and traveled to many places, but we have never stayed in any place for more than ten days; my father has a "strange disease", and every once in a while the whole body will Chills, when it’s mild, it’s so cold that you’re shivering all over, no matter how many quilts you cover, or how many braziers you put in the room; At that time, I didn’t know what to do, why my father was in such a bad health and refused to find a place to settle down properly. Until I was six years old, my father took me and my mother to Tianshan, and finally lived in this cold and cold place. The desolate Shiyin Village has settled down again."

Lu Nanzhu cast his eyes into the distance, deeply immersed in the memory, and continued: "You also know what Shiyin Village is. Tianshan Mountain was originally a forbidden area. Shiyin Village was founded by my master to take in people who have nowhere to go. Yes, obviously, my parents are such people. They have taken me up and down for so many years, just to escape, or to avoid the pursuit of the enemy. They live very carefully, and they don’t even dare to tell me this The only daughter, their names; later, father's illness became more and more serious, with frequent attacks, and the condition was serious. In the last time, in order to save father, mother even used her body to keep warm for father, and father went anyway, mother My mother also contracted this disease, that's why I went to Tianshan Snow Lotus, you all know later, when I came back, my mother was already gone."

Xia Qinyi tugged at Lu Nanzhu's sleeve: "Xiaolu..."

Lu Nanzhu smiled bitterly, and continued: "You also think my father's illness is strange?"

"Ah."

"Actually, my father didn't suffer from a cold, but was injured by some kind of insidious martial arts. The person I want to hurt my father should be the person my father has been hiding from."

"Then, you want to find the enemy of the past, and then avenge your parents?"

Lu Nanzhu shook his head, a look of blankness flashed across his face: "Actually, when I first left the valley, I didn't have any intention of revenge. I once saw a pattern on my father's chest. I think this pattern might be related to My father's life experience is related. I want to know the names of my parents and set up a monument for them; I also want to know my own life experience. Is my surname Lu? Is this surname made up by my parents? As for Revenge... After I figure out the ins and outs of the matter, if it is my father's fault and the deceased is like this, this grievance will be canceled; if it is a traitor who murdered my father, as a child, I must seek justice for them!"

Xia Qinyi nodded, approving in her heart: It's rare for Xiao Lu to have such an open mind, to distinguish right from wrong, and to do what a child should do.

This also explains why Chou Xia traveled all over the Central Plains before, she just wanted to find her roots.

Thinking of what the ugly man had endured and experienced along the way, Xia Qinyi's heart ached.

"Then have you found it?"

"found it."

"On my father's chest, there is a lotus flower totem. The flower has nine petals, the lotus heart is dark black, and the lotus petals are red. I searched all the martial arts sects in the Central Plains, and even went to the Demon Slaying Conference, just to see their seals. But I have never seen a similar pattern, just when I wondered if I was looking in the wrong direction, it appeared in front of my eyes."

"where?"

"Do you remember that time outside Fanli City, when Huanghuo and Shura snatched the Phoenix Blood Saber?"

"Remember, could it be..."

"That's right. At that time, a person was killed by Piaoxue. Piaoxue's special weapon cut through that person's chest. On that person's chest, I saw a lotus flower with the same color as the one on my father's chest. But it's three petals."

Xia Qinyi opened her mouth slightly, unable to speak in shock.

Seeing such a reaction, Lu Nanzhu felt a dull pain in his chest, and continued: "So I left Huaxia Villa and found Gongsun Qing. I wanted to lie about being chased and killed by Zhengzheng to the point of desperation. Blessing, as a reward, I worked for the Demon Cult for three years, and then broke up in two; Gongsun Qing was very happy after hearing it, and agreed, but I was put down by her again, and she took me back to the Demon Cult. What did I say to their leader, the leader of the devil's religion actually named me the holy son of the devil's religion, there are so many masters of the devil's religion, and there is a miasma forest that stretches for hundreds of miles outside, it is not easy to get in and out, so I had to pretend to agree."

"Then what happened next?" Xia Qinyi changed her posture, hugged her knees, lowered her head, and asked dumbly.

"Later...before I found out any clues, the leader of the Demon Cult suddenly announced that he would bypass Tianqiong Mountain, attack Huaxia Villa in the east, and use Huaxia Villa as a springboard to go north to annex Wulin; I was afraid that you would be in danger, so I volunteered to come here. You all know what happened after that. On the North Road Mountain Road that day, Gongsun Qing was injured. I took the opportunity to ask about the exact same pattern, and she told me that this lotus flower is a totem unique to the Demon Cult, named: Mysterious Heart Vermilion Petal Lotus, the number of lotus petals represents the status in the Demon Cult, and it can have nine There are only the Holy Son and the Holy Maiden who have the heart of Zhu Petalian."

"The Holy Son and Holy Daughter of the Demon Cult? You... saw that on Gongsun Qing's back?"

Xia Qinyi's chest was sore and swollen. Xiaolu's father was the holy son of the Demon Sect, and, besides, why could she see Gongsun Qing's back?Could it be that they...?

Lu Nanzhu heard something wrong in Xia Qinyi's tone, thinking that she cared about her father's identity as the Holy Son of the Demon Sect, sighed lightly, and explained: "Gongsun Qing said that this lotus can't be thorned at any time, it needs to be pricked every ten years. Once, at the Christmas of the ghost king, the leader personally stabbed the totem, the son on the chest, and the saint on the back; Gongsun Qing said that her totem was tattooed nine years ago. At that time, my father had already left the demon sect. According to this calculation, the lotus flower on my father's chest was stabbed at least 19 years ago or even earlier, that is to say, before I was born, my father was already the Holy Son of the Demon Cult."

After Xia Qinyi listened, she secretly calculated the time.

According to what Xiaolu said before, when she was six years old, their family lived in seclusion in Shiyin Village, and her previous memories were of fleeing, so her father's death should have nothing to do with Xiaolu's father...

Xia Qinyi felt a little better, but when she thought that Lu Nanzhu had seen Gongsun Qing's back, there was still a lump in her heart, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She hugged her knees, focused her eyes on a piece of dry grass in front of her feet, refused to speak, and did not look at the deer.

Seeing Xia Qinyi like this, Lu Nanzhu was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "That's right, my father is the holy son of the Devil's Cult, and everyone said that he inherited his father's legacy. Man, I know that you have a deep blood feud with the Demon Cult, and your ancestors left a will for you to raise your sword to worship, and you can come and take my life at any time."

Lu Nanzhu didn't intend to say it like this, but she felt bitter and wronged in her heart, halfway through the explanation, she changed her taste completely.

Hearing this, Xia Qinyi felt even more uncomfortable, and tears flowed out.

"What crazy talk are you talking about? That's right, I said that I had an unjust blood feud with the Demon Cult, but at that time I didn't know about these things about you, otherwise... Otherwise, I, Xia Qinyi, also have clear grievances You have saved me so many times, both public and private, and emotionally and rationally, how could I kill you? How could I do it? Yes, I really wanted to kill the ugly man, but I I don't know that the ugly man is a little deer, you, you...you just like this, let me take your life, said so lightly, what do you think of me? Where do you want me to be!"

After speaking, Xia Qinyi quickly got up from the ground, wiped her tears, and ran away with her two braids.

The author has something to say: Today's second update is here, hehehe.

Do you want to watch "Strange Man"? In fact, I feel that the story of "Strange Man" is more exciting than "Ugly Man", with a more grand structure and plot. In fact, when I think about this story, "Ugly Man" is just " A transition and derivative of HE in Weird Man.

The reason why I wrote "Ugly Man" first was because I thought "Strange Man" was a good story. My writing style at that time was not capable of constructing such a grand story. I was afraid that my lack of ability would ruin a good story, so I took out a part and used flashbacks In this way, one story is divided into two stories, and finally they are perfectly combined. Of course, the two books can be read separately without any influence. I am really afraid to write "Strange Man" without changing the style after writing Ugly Man. When I have written 7 to 80 words, there are only a few clicks left in each chapter. Give me some strength, please! ! !

=============

Xiao Xia: Hey, you saw Gongsun Qing's back, you are still cruel, you don't understand my mind, you still talk about me like that, I ran away, don't come after me.

Xiaolu: Xiaoxia, Xiaoxia! ! !You wait for me, you listen to my explanation!

Xiao Xia: I don’t listen, I don’t listen, I don’t listen (you saw Gongsun Qing’s back!)

Xiaolu: Listen, listen, listen (I don’t want to join the Demon Cult!)
