Afterwards, the scene turned very fast. They traveled to many places, saw many scenery, and got rid of many evil spirits. Although their life was not as rich as in the Xing family, it could be seen that they were extremely happy.
The startling salamander sword is Xing Yusheng's father's saber, which he always wears on his body, while the saber his mother wears is also a good sword, but it is obviously thinner and more suitable for women.
Mu Changting followed them and sat down by the stream, looking away from the sabers they placed beside them.
The man took a handful of water to drink, wiped his mouth, turned to the mother and son and said, "There is a village ahead, let's spend the night in it tonight."
Mu Changting raised his eyes and looked around, and he saw the end of the winding road, and there was a dilapidated village looming behind the mist.
The village was very poor, and they found a long-abandoned house without even bothering to find villagers for lodging. There are spider webs everywhere in the house, and the dust is very thick.
The family cleaned the inside and outside of the house, lit a fire and cooked some food briefly, and then stayed here. When the people in the village saw that they were carrying swords, they were very wary of them at first, but after they kindly explained the purpose of their visit to the villagers, they were relieved, knowing that they would eliminate the demon, and they were even very happy.
Xing's father is literate and hyphenated, and occasionally writes letters for the people in the village, teaches children to read, earns half of the teacher's money, and occasionally takes Xing Yusheng out to kill monsters. Xing's mother sews and mends, and saves the embroidered embroidery and takes them to the market in the town to sell.
Work at sunrise and rest at sunset.
The days they stay here are longer and longer, and they may have been wandering for a long time, and they can't help but want to find a place to settle down.
The village is far away from the hustle and bustle, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. They are like an ordinary family of three. If life continues like this, it is not difficult to imagine how happy Xing Yusheng will be.
The young man Mu Changting saw in this fantasy had a much more smile on his face than the one he knew.
Xing Yusheng will show his attachment and admiration to his parents, he will chase rabbits all over the mountains and plains, and there will be little smiles in his eyes after hunting monsters.
These are all Xing Yusheng who he doesn't know, Xing Yusheng who was once very happy and would show his youthful nature. But Mu Changting knew that his parents would die, and the scene he dreaded in his heart would eventually come.
One day, a villager was covered in blood and stumbled into the village. He grabbed Father Xing in horror and said, "Yes, there is a monster! It can eat, eat people! It is still following, following me! Help me! !"
The villagers surrounded him, and they couldn't help but panic when they saw that he passed out after screaming.
Father Xing calmed them down, and ordered them to bring home the villagers who had passed out due to excessive blood loss, treat the wounds, and then turned around and went back to the room to discuss countermeasures with Mother Xing.
After hearing this, Mother Xing's expression changed, and she quickly found the dusty saber from the box. The two looked at each other and went out together. Most of Mu Changting's perspectives follow Xing's father's changes. Gradually, he also understands that this is probably not Xing Yusheng's memory, but the startling salamander sword.
The sword has a sword spirit, and the sword spirit recognizes the master, so I am deeply grateful for everything that happened to the master.
Mu Changting followed them and ran out. A monster with gray skin and pointed ears stood in the air at the entrance of the village. Throwing over a corpse that was empty of flesh and blood, shriveled to the point where only a layer of skin remained, staring at them with dark green eyes, the monster smiled with lips curled up: "Yo, there are Taoist priests here, I really made money today." The long His tongue swept his lips quickly, and he showed the excited expression when he saw the prey.
Talking high-level monsters...
This one was even much stronger than the slippery pig they had dealt with before, Mu Changting recalled the image depicted in "Guang Wu Zhi", this... Could this be a waterfin
A monster that lives in the deep sea for many years. It spends most of its life in deep sleep. It wakes up once every ten years. Every time it wakes up, it will slaughter until it has enough "food" for it to slowly digest.
Many cultivators once thought of finding the waterfin before it wakes up, so it would be better to act first.
But the water mackerel is very good at hiding, especially in this place where it needs to sleep for ten years, so it is natural to be cautious when choosing it, so it has not been seen so far. Who can find it before the water mackerel wakes up.
Mu Changting glanced at the bloody skin on the ground, and couldn't bear to turn his face away.
I don't know how many people this monster ate along the way, and how many sins it committed before it came to this small mountain village.
Father Xing raised his long sword with a cold face: "If you are able to catch me, you are good."
The water squaw showed a contemptuous smile: "Smelly Taoist priest who is bluffing, I wanted to show you that you are handsome, so I will show mercy and let you die quickly. If that is the case, don't blame me for being rude."
With a push of the palm of the water squab's palm, the magic energy was shot out! Throw it at Father Xing!
The Xing family couple dodged it, and the devilish energy smashed a deep hole in the ground, and the dust flew up.
The Xing family's husband and wife combined their swords together, flashed out of the flying dust, and stabbed straight at the water mackerel!
The three of them fought in the air, and the magic energy and aura collided with each other, making a crackling sound!
The villagers all hid in their houses and did not dare to come out. Xing Yusheng went to the central place to sell embroidery for Xing's mother, and hadn't come back for a while.
This was the first time that Mu Changting saw Xing's father fighting with all his strength, the aura in the air violently surged, and even the sky and the earth changed color. The clouds tumbled violently, and in an instant they were rolling in black.
Mother Xing was suddenly swept by the water squid, and she flew to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Father Xing yelled, "Tong'er!"
The water squash sneered, "It's better to worry about yourself!"
The silhouettes of the two were so close that only afterimages could be seen flying, and heavy raindrops landed on the ground with a "bang".
One person and one demon have been fighting for an unknown amount of time. They are equal in strength and will not give in to each other.
The next moment, I saw the sword glow in the sky flourishing! The water squab was injured by the sword energy and flew to the ground!
Xing's father retreated to Xing's mother, stood up straight, held a sword in one hand, and put the other behind his back, and said coldly: "Monster, do you still want to fight? Xing will accompany you to the end!"
The water squaw gave him a stern look, and flew away, the cold voice echoed in the air: "Just wait! I will come back! Next time, I will bloodbath this place!"
Standing behind Father Xing, Mu Changting happened to see the hand he had been holding behind his back trembling violently, a stream of blood flowing down his arm, ticking, ticking, dripping to the ground.
As soon as the monster left, he fell to his knees suddenly, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.
He was already at the end of his strength, and he was just holding on just now. Mother Xing supported him worriedly, and the two looked at each other, but he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to cover Mother Xing's hand, and comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry."
When Xing Yusheng came back, he saw that his parents were seriously injured, his face changed drastically, and he was shaking with anger.
He turned to leave, but Father Xing scolded: "Come back! Do you have any brains! Do you think you will be its opponent based on your current skills? Even if it is seriously injured now, you will only die if you go!"
The words made Xing Yusheng calm down slowly, he gritted his teeth and stood for a while, then said in a low voice, "I'll make medicine for you."
Mu Changting and Xing's father sighed at the same time, Mu Changting was stunned, looked up at him, saw him close his eyes slightly, and muttered to himself: "Sheng'er is still not mature enough to be calm, I'm really worried..."
worry about what? He didn't say anything more.
After hearing this, Mu Changting's heart sank for some reason, as if he was under the weight of everything, and he couldn't breathe.
What are you worried about? Worried that he won't be able to support the family after your death? Did he take care of his mother
However, maybe you expected that you would be doomed this time, but you probably didn't think until your death that he was the only one left in the world in the end.
Father Xing rested overnight, and started to think about countermeasures the next day.
First of all, he naturally thought of letting the people in the village move out first, but the monster was cunning, and secretly used magic when it escaped, drawing the ground as a prison, and trapping them in the village, no one could get out through the magic barrier.
Sitting and waiting to die is not a good feeling. Father Xing may be able to keep his family safe, but the villagers are so innocent that it is impossible for him to abandon them with his character.
So, he thought of a bold way.
He called the villagers together and persuaded them to make a last stand. He will make good talismans, distribute them to all the villagers, and use three days to teach everyone how to form a formation. At that time, when the monster comes, he will lead the monster into the formation. As long as everyone works together, the monster can be captured!
Even if some people still question whether this method is appropriate, is it really useful for ordinary people like them who have no power to restrain themselves? But it's better than waiting to die, and there's no other way.
There are more than one hundred people in the whole village. That night, the three members of Xing's family stayed up late and wrote the magic talismans for forming the formation.
From the second day on, what they have to teach them is the position of the formation and the timing of throwing the magic talisman! Teaching them is not an easy task. It took two full days for everyone to remember the position just by practicing the position, and there were no mistakes.
Xing's mother was a little uneasy: "There must be no mistakes in this formation, otherwise it will be nothing if the monster escapes. The most fearful thing is that it will become crazy because of it, and then it will not be controlled by our own strength. "
Xing's father frowned, nodded and said: "Yes, the difficulty of this formation is that more than a hundred people must cooperate with each other to be effective, but Tong'er, don't worry too much, if the monster goes crazy, I will try my best to contain it!"
Mother Xing stood up in shock: "Husband, don't you want to die with it?"
Xing's father looked at her tenderly, and did not shy away from hiding anything: "Tong'er, you and I have been together as husband and wife to this day. It is my Xing Mengjin's luck in this life. I am afraid I will not be able to promise you to grow old together. I hope you can take good care of yourself." , take good care of Shenger. If there is a soul that can enter reincarnation, I will definitely not drink that Mengpo soup, and I will always, always be waiting for you on the Naihe bridge."
Mu Changting couldn't bear to stare at him, and suddenly lifted the curtain and rushed out the door.
The night was dark, and the voice of a woman crying bitterly could be heard intermittently from inside the door.
