Yu Hongchen

Xie Liuchen was panting heavily, dripping with cold sweat, running all the way through the mountains and forests, an unbelievable thought kept circling in his mind: "I touched him! I actually touched him!"

Under the moonlight, jackdaws uttered clusters of shrill calls from the forest.He was awakened by the sound of crows crowing in the forest. He stopped abruptly, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and comforted himself: "What am I panicking about! I have been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally I can know my life experience! I should be happy." That's right!" Slowly walking towards the narrow road in the mountains and forests, until he finally walked out of the mountains and forests, he was greeted by the lonely and cold moonlight, as bright as jade, as if illuminating the way forward for him who was at a loss.

After calming down for a long time, he planned to pick up the teleportation talisman left by the man in black that day from his bosom, but accidentally touched something bony in his bosom.It turned out that the ball of paper was still tightly stuffed in his arms.He took out the ball of paper, stretched it out again, smoothed out the wrinkles, and put it next to his body again.He clearly felt that he had done nothing wrong, but at this moment he felt guilty as if he had really hurt Shang Lixing.He scolded himself secretly: "I'm so disappointed! Why don't you just stab him with a sword! At most, let him stab him back in the future!"

Taking a few deep breaths, he took out the communication talisman, left Qiushuimen, and teleported to the place where the man in black was.He looked around and found that he was standing on the ground outside the wall of an eaves house. The lush trees covered nearly half of the narrow alley. He could only see the dark clouds and the moon, and there seemed to be a ferocious dog roaring in the distance.Here is a high-rise building with a low door, like a residence owned by mortals and wealthy families.

The man in black stood on the eaves in the distance, and his voice didn't fluctuate: "Mission completed?"

Xie Liuchen's flustered heart still couldn't calm down, and he nodded neatly: "He was injured by my sword, and he has already died of serious injuries."

The voice of the man in black was quite unexpected: "Huh? Dead? Why haven't I heard the news from my side yet?"

Xie Liuchen lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said without blushing, "Yes, Shang Lixing is indeed dead. I killed him."

The black-robed man always regarded him as obedient and easy-going, so he didn't ask any more questions, he just followed his words and replied: "It seems that the human race hasn't spread the news yet."

Xie Liuchen went on to say: "At the moment when all ethnic groups are in turmoil, Qiu Shuimen will not announce his death. At most, he will only say that he was seriously injured."

The man in black agreed: "That's right, as long as Shang Lixing doesn't show up again during this period, it will prove that he is actually dead."

Xie Liuchen said excitedly: "Then the things you promised me before can be fulfilled?"

The man in black waved his hand and said: "The fact that the person is dead is still not confirmed, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Xie Liuchen was unwilling to reconcile, and said in a more serious voice: "Then how can I be sure that this is not your excuse?"

The black-robed man sneered, "You've been around too many sinister human races, and you've learned how to bargain."

Xie Liuchen kept saying that he didn't dare.

The man in black laughed a few times, and moved a little: "Forget it, you come with me." He took a step forward and ordered Xie Liuchen to follow, Xie Liuchen didn't know why he didn't tell him face to face, but walked away, full of confusion in his heart , had no choice but to keep up.

After walking for a while under the shade of the trees, the two of them bypassed the narrow alley and came to another alley entrance. A strong smell of blood suddenly hit the air.I saw the shadows of trees at the gate of a mansion not moving, the lanterns in front of the gate were half-lit, and an old domestic dog was barking up to the sky.

Xie Liuchen looked into the gate of the house, and was suddenly startled—there were corpses strewn all over the ground and blood flowing everywhere, like a miserable scene of hell on earth.Xie Liuchen looked at the hellish scene in front of him, and couldn't help but take a few steps back: "Why did you bring me here?"

While speaking, a few tall and strong men suddenly rushed out from the side door, armed with knives and guns, and charged with furious brows, followed by a delicate woman with tears on her face.Several men showed madness on their faces. When they saw the two standing at the door, they couldn't help but slashed at them with knives.

The man in black suddenly pushed Xie Liuchen a step forward, pointed at him and said to the mortals, "This man is the executioner who killed your whole family."

Xie Liuchen suddenly turned his head and stared at him: "What are you talking about?"

Those men's eyes were all white, and their pupils were so deep that they couldn't see. They didn't know whether they understood or didn't understand, but they just murdered Xie Liuchen fiercely.

Xie Liuchen couldn't help it, so he could only use his true energy to shake those mortals away.

The men didn't know what medicine they took wrongly, even after falling to the ground several times, they still roared and pointed at Xie Liuchen with swords.

No matter how unbearable Xie Liuchen was, he gradually became impatient at this moment, not to mention that there was a black-robed man watching coldly from the sidelines.But attacking mortals is against the law of heaven. With a thought, he removed the joints of those mortals' legs so that they could no longer stand up.

The man in black stood aside, suddenly let out a low laugh with unknown meaning, and silently muttered a few strange words.

Several mortals seemed to have heard some edict, and despite the weakness of their legs, they struggled to stand up.No matter how innocent and ignorant Ren Xie Liuchen was, he understood at this moment - it was clearly the man in black who secretly ordered mortals to besiege him.He glared at the black-robed man viciously, and shouted sharply, "What do you mean?"

The man in black said lightly: "Unless you kill them, I can't stop."

Xie Liuchen glared and roared, "There is no grievance, no enmity, why should I attack them?"

The black robe said humanely: "You can't help this!" He silently recited a few strange spells, and the bones of those mortals made a cracking sound, and they stood up again as if they were descended from heaven, roaring and killing Xie Liuchen.

Xie Liuchen upholds the idea of ​​not wanting to hurt others, and always dodges left and right with light movements.Those mortals erupted with exceptionally strong physical strength, which was comparable to that of ordinary cultivators.Several people chased after him, stabbed him with knives and swords, and cut dozens of thin and long wounds on his body.

Xie Liuchen was in a state of distress, his clothes were cut into long strips by the blade of sword energy.Xiu Mingjian hummed in a low voice, as if he felt the same as what happened to his master.After dodging for more than half an hour, the fire of ignorance in his heart burned even more fiercely. He finally couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly raised his head to the sky and let out a long roar, his whole body's true energy surged violently. It rose and went straight through the chests of those mortals.

With trembling hands, he withdrew the Xiuming Sword, but before he calmed down his excitement, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, and when he looked back, it was the slender woman just now.Her face turned pale, and she tightly clutched a blood-stained gold hairpin in her hand.She took advantage of Xie Liuchen's unpreparedness and secretly hurt him behind his back.

Xie Liuchen's eyes were red, and he strangled the woman's throat like a thunderbolt, and said in a rough voice, "You want to kill me too?"

The woman just saw that he slaughtered her family like a god of hell, and she was scared out of her wits.Her teeth were chattering, and she sobbed, "Don't dare...don't dare...I don't dare...please let me go, I still have a child in my stomach..."

Xie Liuchen looked down, and sure enough, she saw that her lower abdomen was slightly raised, and a new life was gradually being born under her slender body.His almost insane mood returned to the cage in an instant, he loosened his fingers, and let the woman go.He closed his eyes deeply, and said weakly: "You go, I don't want to hurt you..."

The woman was free, and she knelt down on the ground, her hands subconsciously supported the ground, but accidentally touched a sea of ​​blood.With a shrill scream, she burst out with a shocking desire to survive, and suddenly stood up and ran for her life to an exit of the alley, but she disappeared in an instant.

Xie Liuchen opened his eyes again, looked at the black-robed man who had remained calm, and said in a tired voice, "Why did you design me to kill these people?"

The black-robed man watched a good show from beginning to end, and his voice was very brisk: "How does it feel to kill people? You kill them, and soon there will be casual cultivators from Qiushuimen coming to you."

Xie Liuchen took a deep breath, and said in a cold voice, "Now can you tell me the truth?"

The black-robed man inexplicably let out a strange laugh like a night owl: "Hahahaha! Because you have to die, and you can only die in the hands of the human race!"

An unbelievable thought suddenly hit Xie Liuchen's heart, he pierced his eyes on the man in black robe, his lips trembled and said, "What do you mean?"

The man in black sneered and said, "As long as the human race kills you, the entire human race will be punished by heaven."

Xie Liuchen suddenly felt cold all over his body, and all the mysteries that had been lingering for many years had answers all at once, so that's it!It turned out that he actually had such an identity!It turned out that the man in black robe wanted him to sneak into the Yunshan Sword Sect, that was the idea!He said in a trembling voice: "So...you have wanted me to die at the hands of human monks since many years ago..."

The man in black laughed a few times: "That's right, it was my original intention to let you die in the Yunshan Sword Sect. However, it's not too bad to get rid of a Qiushuimen sect master, hahahaha." Leave this sentence Finally, he flicked his sleeves, wanting to get away.

Xie Liuchen came to his senses, his sword came out, and stopped him: "Speak clearly!"

The man in black didn't dodge, and when his sword was about to touch his robe at the elbow, he raised his two fingers, and a wave of demonic energy shot out from his fingertips.

Xie Liuchen was attacked by the dark devilish energy, his five senses were lost, and he fell into a terrible magic barrier instantly, and the Xiuming sword in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.The man in black easily knocked him down, and said with a sneer, "You can't do what you can!" Then he stepped on the corpses all over the ground and left with a long smile.

Xie Liuchen sat down on the ground slumped as if he had experienced a terrible fight.After a long time, he sat with his knees hugged, his head sinking deeply between his knees, and he didn't know how to react at all. He murmured to himself: "Could it be that I'm really the king of beasts? Then why did I wander into the mortal world? Why was I Master Nan Xing raised him?"

Just in the midst of confusion, at this moment, the old voice that had lingered for a long time in the sea of ​​consciousness reappeared, and Xie Liuchen felt it suddenly, and an inexplicable strange feeling came to his heart.He understood everything in an instant—that voice was exactly the consciousness left in his body by the previous Beastmaster.He didn't say a word, feeling as if he was about to die. It turned out that he was not as happy as he imagined when he learned the truth about his life experience.

He sat blankly for a long while, and found a shadowy object shaking beside him.He moved slightly, looked sideways, and saw that it was the chained dog, which had stopped barking and was walking back and forth. The lonely figure was illuminated by the cold moonlight on the ground.

The dog was obviously of a certain age, its fur was yellowish and rough, and it was so thin that its bones and joints were clearly discernible.Xie Liuchen looked at it, and it also looked at Xie Liuchen, its eyes seemed to be full of pity.

Xie Liuchen stood up shaking, looked at the corpses all over the place, and smiled sadly.Immediately short **, patted the old yellow dog's head and said: "Even you think I've accomplished nothing?"

Naturally, a dog can't speak human words, but when someone gets close to it, it wags its stubby tail affectionately and moves closer.He sat on the ground with his arms around the dog for a while, and suddenly felt cold, so he hugged the yellow dog even harder, with a crying voice stuck in the dog's hair: "Why am I so stupid...why did I do it just now?" ...why am I being used all the time..."

In the bleak moonlight, one person, one dog, and corpses all over the ground.His voice gradually dropped.

In a daze, consciousness gradually sank into nothingness.I don't know how long after this, Xie Liuchen woke up from the cold, and found that it was the fourth watch, and he had slept with the dog all night.The cold wind pierced through his body, even with his cultivation base, he couldn't help but gather up his clothes from the cold.

The sky is slightly yellowish, and the waning moon is half hidden and half visible.The blood on the ground had already dried up, and he stood up tremblingly, staring at everything that was caused indiscriminately last night, bowed deeply towards the corpses all over the ground, and said in a painful voice: "I'm sorry, it was my accidental mistake that made you die from exhaustion. At my hand, this is my sin. Those inside the door, although you did not die at my hand, you also died because of me. If it is really punished by heaven, please let the retribution be on me alone." He took the initiative to kneel down and knocked his head three times.

In the blink of an eye, it was night and dawn, and for some reason, no one around me appeared.He was not in the mood to respond, he piled up all the corpses, lit a fire, and burned several corpses together with the house.

Before the raging fire, he lowered his head and removed the leash for the old dog beside him, and said in a low voice: "Good dog, come with me." busy before and after.Holding the sword and leading the dog, he looked around and said in a daze, "But what should I do now?"

Since he is the Beast King of the Beast Clan, he should go back to the Northland Barren Valley to be with his clansmen.But when he thought that Shang Lixing had received a sword from himself last night, he felt very uneasy again.He couldn't stop saying to himself: "I'll just take a look to see how he's hurt. After I'm done, I'm going to go to Huanggu and never go back to Nanling again. It's... the last time we meet That's all."

He picked up the dog and walked along the town alleyway and up the mountain forest path, going round and round with the stars and the moon all the way.I don't know how long I have been walking, and the sun and the moon have changed several times, and the fireworks of mortals have gradually disappeared.He finally arrived at a plain where Qiushuimen headquarters was located.

He hugged the dog, stood behind a big rock, and kept persuading himself to face everything that was coming, no matter how Shang Lixing wanted to retaliate against him, he couldn't resist and so on.After thinking wildly for a while, I suddenly heard someone's voice not far away.He listened carefully, and found that it was a few Qiushui Mensan cultivators talking loudly, their voices were disorganized, and for a moment he couldn't understand what they were talking about.

Only a voice said angrily: "It's unreasonable! To act under the nose of the northern side of Nanling, it's obvious that we don't take our Qiushuimen seriously!"

Another person said loudly: "Oh, when there is a huge change in this sect, I really have to suspect that it is Beilu or Xiyashan who are playing tricks!"

While the few casual cultivators were talking, they heard the footsteps of another person walking out of the Qiushui gate.The sound of these footsteps was as light as a fly, and they were not in the same realm as those casual cultivators. It was obvious that he was a cultivator with superb cultivation.

Xie Liuchen listened intently, only to hear the man ask in a deep voice: "... What happened again?" It was He Suwu's voice.Xie Liuchen heard that he seemed to be trying to endure something in his voice, and wondered in his heart: "Why does He Suwu seem very angry?"

Those casual cultivators spoke to each other and explained in detail what they were talking about.Xie Liuchen, who was behind the boulder, was shocked, with cold sweat pouring out of his back. It turned out that what these casual cultivators were talking about was exactly what he did to kill mortals that day.

Only one casual cultivator said: "How dare that person attack innocent mortals, there are fifteen people, how cruel is this!"

Another casual cultivator exclaimed in horror: "You did such a thing that both humans and gods are angry with! The murderer is everyone can be punished!" Hearing this, he wanted to rush out to defend himself, but he couldn't prove his innocence.

In the midst of grief and distress, He Suowu asked, "What are the physical characteristics of the murderer?"

The noisy casual cultivators fell silent for a moment, and then hesitantly said: "Yes, he is a handsome young monk. According to the mortal woman's description, his appearance... resembles a person... ..."

He Suowu asked impatiently, "Who is it?"

The casual cultivator said with a trembling voice: "...Maybe he is the same person as Xie Liuchen who killed the sect master..."

Xie Liuchen shivered behind the boulder, his mind went blank—"Shang Lixing, dead?"
