Jiuxiao

The other party said it so clearly, even if he used it, he couldn't shirk it.

Zhou Yin had no interest in the so-called elder position, but he was able to build a foundation so quickly, and it was indeed inseparable from those Lingshi and Peiyuan Dan.

He only wants to do things according to his heart, but he doesn't bother to owe favors.

"Ah."

Zou Jingyuan was quite satisfied with his answer, nodded his head and said with a smile: "You have just advanced to build a foundation, and your foundation is not yet solid, so don't be in a hurry to go to retreat to practice, you can walk around, if you need spirit stones, you can also come here Tell me."

What Zhou Yin asked was an irrelevant question: "Has Anyang been destroyed?"

"I heard that Songzhou, the capital city, has not been captured yet, but it's almost there." Zou Jingyuan recalled that his parents were from Anyang, and comforted him, "You don't need to worry too much. Although there are wars and disasters, you can hear that Dongyue's army is very disciplined. The people should be free from hindrance."

Zhou Yin said: "I want to go back and have a look."

"That's right, filial piety is a matter of course." Zou Jingyuan paused, "It's just that you have already completed Qi refining, and in the early stage of foundation establishment, if there is no accident, your lifespan should be in the early [-]s, and your parents are all mortals. Even if you prolong your life, it will only last about a hundred years, this is everyone's destiny, so don't be too obsessed with it and miss your practice."

In Zhou Yin's previous life, he had practiced to transform himself into a god, so he had the magic weapon he was used to, but before he formed an alchemy, he couldn't open the cave that he had banned in his previous life, so what he can rely on now is the magic weapon bestowed by the Jinghai school. It's just a melting water sword.

Now that he has successfully established the foundation and has been affirmed by the head of the sect, his status in the sect is different from before, and he gets more spirit stone pills every month than before. Zhou Yin used these spirit stones to go to Yunzhou where there are many cultivators. The market bought talisman writing paper with cinnabar, wrote dozens of low-level talismans on it, and poured spiritual power into it for emergencies. ——He has always been like this, he will not pin all his life on a certain person or a certain magic weapon, there are people outside of people in this world, and there is a sky beyond the sky, only his own reaction and judgment are the most reliable.

When he arrived in Yunzhou, he realized that the situation had turned upside down. Although Yunzhou was only the original capital of Anyang, it was merged into Dongyue Kingdom after the Anyang Kingdom was destroyed. The special geographical location of Yunzhou also made the atmosphere of this city change Very subtle.

In the streets and alleys, you can see Dongyue soldiers patrolling everywhere, each of them in heavy armor holding a halberd, with a serious face, and the gates of the city are guarded by heavy soldiers to strictly check who comes in and goes out.Ordinary people are afraid of such a scene, but cultivators don't pay attention to it. Soldiers are also very good at observing words and expressions, but when they see that the description and behavior are different from ordinary people, they guess that it is a cultivator in all likelihood, and they dare not make things difficult.

Zhou Yin's face was stern, and his temperament was very unusual. Naturally, he would not be mistaken for an ordinary person, so the journey was smooth.

After making the talisman and leaving Yunzhou, he flew to Zhoujia Village with his sword.

After leaving Yunzhou, it takes about three days to reach Fulin County by riding a horse. Zhoujia Village is a small village dozens of miles outside Fulin County. Although the location is remote, the conditions are unique. For medicine, just pick a tree at random, and the tree is about a hundred years old. Even the fish in the river seems to be more than other places.

Because of this, after hundreds of years of reproduction, although the number of people in the village is small, most of them can be self-sufficient. In addition, every ten days and a half months, people will go to the county town to go to the market. Therefore, unless it is the season of ice and snow, Zhoujia Village is always lively and lively, with a sense of simplicity and kindness.

However, when he arrived at Zhoujia Village in the evening, he found that the village exuded a strange atmosphere from the inside to the outside.

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. Normally at this time, every household should have lit their oil lamps, and the smoke from the kitchen should have been rising, but when Zhou Yin entered the village, he had only one feeling.

Dead silence.

In addition, there is also a bloody smell that is too thick to melt away.

After entering the village, he walked in the direction of his home. The experience of being away from home for 17 years did not blur his memory.

Everywhere along the way, there are real mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Zhou Family Village used to have hundreds of people, but now almost all of them are here.

Some people's chests were pierced by spears and nailed to the wall. Some people had a deep ax mark on their necks, half of their heads were tilted to one side, connected only by a thin layer of muscles, and even four or five-year-old children, Also torn to pieces, tragic death.

He didn't stop, his eyes swept over these corpses, and he continued to walk until he stopped.

Even after 17 years, Zhou Chai and Ji's family are obviously much older, but Zhou Yin still recognizes them at a glance.

The two cuddled together and fell to the base of the wall. Zhou Chai had a dagger stuck in his back, while Ji's chest was cut.

The blood had already dried up. Like the other villagers, Ji's face did not show much horror, but looked peaceful. Only Zhou Chaiyuan opened his eyes, as if he was dying.

Zhou Yin watched all this expressionlessly, slowly squatted down, and reached out to brush his face.

"I'm here, I will avenge you, so go with peace of mind." He said softly.

When the palm passed, Zhou Chai closed his eyes.

Zhou Yin pulled out the dagger on his back, engraved with a military emblem and the word "Hui".

I can recognize Zhou Yin of the military emblem, and I have seen it many times in Yunzhou. It is the logo of Dongyue Guoping Southern Army, and the word Hui refers to Hui Jun, the commander of the Pingan Army.The Pingnan Army is known for its strict military discipline and invincibility, and is well-known in Dongyue. When he stayed in Yunzhou, he even heard the local people call him the Huijia Army.

Zhou Yin's eyes were fixed, and his face became colder.

Although the Anyang Kingdom was destroyed, the daily life of the people was affected along the way. If they hadn't stood up and resisted, they would not have been caught and killed. Ordinary people only care about their own lives.In this troubled world, it doesn't make any difference to them to change the emperor, not to mention that the ruler of Anyang is incompetent and will not be supported.

Since even the people of Yunzhou are safe and sound, a remote small mountain village is worth the transit of an army, and slaughter without leaving a living?

These people looked stunned, but they didn't show fear, which at least showed that they didn't know they were going to die before they died.

Since the corpses are all outside the house, it is impossible for them to be massacred after being drugged and fainted, but...

Someone summoned them all, and then they were instantly killed by a cultivator using magic.

After death, the wounds of swords and swords were repaired to make the illusion that the army killed people.

Regardless of whether it was really the Pingnan Army's actions, or the killing with a borrowed knife, the whole incident must be inextricably linked to the Pingnan Army.

There were messy footsteps not far away, and Zhou Yin immediately disappeared his breath and hid in the darkness.

"Third brother, come over and have a look! There's still..."

"Hush, keep your voice down! Are you afraid you won't be able to attract people?!"

"What are you afraid of? The village has been slaughtered. Who would come here in the middle of the night!" Ding Da came out of a room, holding the gold and silver ornaments in his arms happily. Under the tree a well-dressed man went to collect the dead.

The moonlight reflected the figure behind him, Ding Datou didn't turn back, he kept moving: "Hey, third child, you can look in the house over there, I can look carefully during the day, the households over there are full of oil and water. , but then again, that person is really ruthless, with hundreds of people, leaving no one behind, this is nothing compared to..."

His words stopped abruptly, Ding Da stared at the hand strangling his neck in horror.

"Someone came to slaughter the village during the day, did you do it?" the other party asked, from expression to voice, there was no warmth.

Ding Da trembled violently and stammered: "No, no, no, how could it be me, my lord, spare me, but the little one just follow suit, I didn't kill people, I didn't kill them!"

"who is it?"

"No, I don't know. There are a few immortals. Master Yao asked us to follow them. They seem to be looking for something, but they can't find it..."

"Go on."

"Then they used fairy techniques to call out all these people and ask them one by one. If they couldn't find out, they killed them..."

The man in front of him was dressed in black, with a pale and indifferent face, like a ghost. Compared with these corpses under the moonlight, Ding Da felt even more frightened.

The other party didn't speak, just stared at him, finally Ding Da couldn't take it anymore, he did all the tricks: "After those immortals killed the villagers, Master Yao asked us to make up the knife on them and put the blame on the Pingnan Army, my lord, spare your life. I’ve seen it, I’ve seen it all, these villagers are already dead, I’m the one who made up the knife, I didn’t kill people, it’s really not me!”

"What is the origin of the murderer?"

"I don't know the little ones, I just see Master Yao respecting them and calling them fairy elders."

"Master Yao?"

Ding Da panted, trying to think back: "Yes, my name is Yao Xincheng. I heard that he is a big shot from the capital of Dongyue. We are all refugees. We were hired by him temporarily. We obeyed his orders and wore Pingnan Army uniforms. Clothes, come here..."

Before he finished speaking, he was overly frightened, rolled his eyes, foamed at the mouth, and frightened to death.

What this person said was roughly the same as what Zhou Yin speculated.

What is it that those people can't find it everywhere, killing people to silence it?

He groaned silently, but a bright light suddenly flashed across the sky, like a raging fire reaching the sky, scorching half of the night sky red.

But for a moment, the red light disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

That is the direction of Longyingtan.

Almost without thinking, he immediately flew out of the village with his sword.

After leaving the village, the closer you get to Longyingtan, the more you feel a wave of spiritual power rushing towards you.

Longyingtan has enough spiritual energy, Zhou Yin already knew about it, otherwise he would not have been meditating there in the past, but now the spiritual energy is more and more abundant, and it is a hundred times stronger than before.

The water flow of the waterfall is still very fast, pouring directly into the deep pool from top to bottom, Zhou Yin approached, bent down and touched the pool water lightly.

It is warm.

Moreover, in the pool, there seemed to be a wonderful power that touched his palm and rushed straight into his mind. It was as clear as the sky and the moon was bright in an instant, which was indescribably wonderful.

With a thought in his heart, he put his hands in the water, stared at Longyingtan for a moment, and suddenly jumped into it.

The Longyingtan is bottomless, and Zhou Yin has been underwater before. He speculates that the water here may be connected to a certain sea outlet. It's been a long time, and now it's foundation building, and it's no problem to hold your breath for an hour.

The water in the pool is clear and clear, with aquatic plants and small fish passing by from time to time, Zhou Yin doesn't even look at it, and swims along the source of spiritual power.

The water temperature is no longer freezing, and the warmth wraps the whole body, making people relax and comfortable.

After going downstream for about half a stick of incense, he finally found the culprit who caused the celestial phenomenon after pushing away layers of stones and moss.

An oval gray-black stone-like egg.
