Xu Zongsheng frowned even tighter, feeling that something was wrong in Taohua Village.
He is the head of the Xu family's generation, so his abilities are naturally outstanding, otherwise he would not be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the family. When he was outside the village just now, he didn't feel anything else, but after entering the village, he felt that everything was wrong. Appropriate, but if he really wanted to say something was inappropriate, he couldn't tell.
After hearing what his daughter said, he pondered for a moment and said, "There's something wrong here, be careful."
But Xu Guifen said nonchalantly: "Father, look at what you said, what could be wrong here? I have lived here for seven years, and no one knows better than me who are the people in Peach Blossom Village. They are all untouchables, after taking this soul-destroying powder, their souls will be scattered and they will never be reborn, what are you worried about?"
What Xu Guifen said was not unreasonable, but Xu Zongsheng still felt that it was not appropriate. He was cautious, and after thinking about it for a while, he said: "There is no big mistake in being careful. It is always good to pay more attention. If you are in the gutter When the boat capsizes, that makes people laugh out loud."
Seeing Xu Zongsheng being so cautious, Xu Guifen felt a little bored, but she didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement, expressing that she understood.
"Okay, dad, don't worry, I will be careful."
Seeing this, Xu Zongsheng nodded, and the father and daughter walked forward side by side.
The guards behind them were holding torches stained with pine oil, and the orange-red fire illuminated the area around them, but the place farther away was shrouded in darkness, and those dilapidated thatched huts were hidden in the darkness. Among them, the shadows are vaguely connected together, at first glance, it looks like the backbone of a monster.
The toxicity of Duosun San is extremely overbearing. Anyone who has drunk the water, whether it is a human or an animal, will die. Although the poison was poured into the well of Qi's family, the underground water veins of Taohua Village are all connected together. A place, including the places where water veins pass through, will be poisoned and infected.
All the people and animals in the village should have died, that's why this originally bustling village became like a cemetery.
After walking for a while, Xu Guifen suddenly stopped, and Xu Zongsheng, who was standing next to her, also stopped. He glanced sideways at Xu Guifen, and asked, "Fen'er, why did you stop suddenly?"
Xu Guifen raised her finger and made a booing gesture. Seeing this, Xu Zongsheng didn't speak again.
When the torch was burning, there was a slight crackling sound. After the sound of their footsteps disappeared, the surrounding became even quieter. In this deathly silence, they suddenly heard a slight cry from not far away. It came out from inside the house.
The crying sound was a little hoarse, it seemed that because of crying for a long time, the crying sound gradually became weaker, and finally became as if it seemed to disappear at any time.
Xu Zongsheng's several sons already had grandchildren, and he was very familiar with the crying of children, which clearly belonged to babies.
There are still fish that slipped through the net in this village.
Xu Guifen frowned even tighter, she looked back at the guards behind her, and said, "Go and take that child out for me."
Hearing the words, the guard said he obeyed, held a torch and went into the room where the sound came from not far away. After a while, he took out a baby wrapped in red swaddling clothes.
The baby didn't know how long he had been crying, and his little face was flushed, probably because he was being hugged, his crying gradually became quieter, and he was opening a pair of big black eyes curiously. Looking at the person holding him.
Even though the black-clothed guard's heart was as hard as iron, his heart couldn't help softening when he was looked at by the innocent eyes of the little baby. His movements of holding the child were a little gentler. Although the movements of his feet were fast, his arms The child in the house was not jolted at all.
After carrying the child back, Xu Guifen stretched out her hand towards him and said, "Give me the child."
The guard handed the child over to Xu Guifen. He thought that Xu Guifen chose to empathize with other children after losing her two sons, and wanted to put the mother's love that had nowhere to rest on this child.
However, he didn't expect that after Xu Guifen took the child, he said, "Go get me a bucket of water from the well."
The guard was stunned for a moment, feeling a bad feeling in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders, so he obediently entered the yard, fetched a bucket of water from the well, and brought it up to Xu Guifen. .
Earlier, he had had some faint hopes, thinking that Xu Guifen would not be so cruel, but what he didn't expect was that his premonition was right.
Xu Guifen dipped some water in her handkerchief and was about to put it into the baby's mouth.
There is Duohun Powder in this water, the baby looks like it is only two months old at most, how can Xu Guifen be so vicious
He is still a child!
Seeing that Xu Guifen was about to put the veil into the baby's mouth, the guard was frightened and angry, regardless of his identity, and said: "Miss, this child is still young, you..."
However, before he finished speaking, Xu Guifen interrupted him: "I still want you to teach me how to do things?"
After saying these words, she directly stuffed the baby's belly that was soaked in well water into the baby's mouth, and the movement was so fast that people couldn't stop it even if they wanted to.
The child didn't know how long he had been hungry. After stuffing the handkerchief into his mouth, the little mouth began to wrap it greedily.
Seeing him rushing to die, Xu Guifen couldn't help showing a little smile on his face: "The pariah is indeed a pariah, he is rushing to seek death..."
After saying these words, she didn't bother to continue holding the child, and handed it directly to the guards behind her, asking them to throw the child aside.
The guard who just carried the child had red eyes. He endured it again and again, but he still couldn't hold it back. He said indignantly, "Miss, he's just a child. Don't you think this is too much?"
The child was only two months old and didn't know anything. Even if the young lady had a grudge against the people in Taohua Village, she shouldn't have been so vicious and killed the child with her own hands.
After Xu Guifen became Miss Xu's family again, she became more domineering than before. She seemed to want to vent all the grievances of these years. All the incompetence and grievances were covered up.
"Xu Liu, you dare to commit the following crimes, who gave you the courage? You are just a lowly bastard, and you dare to accuse me for him, have you forgotten your identity!"
Xu Liu's body trembled for a moment, and his face instantly turned pale, but he didn't think he had done anything wrong, and stubbornly refused to beg for mercy.
Although he was loyal to the Xu family, it didn't mean he didn't have his own thoughts, other things were fine, but what Xu Guifen did broke through his cognition and bottom line, Xu Liu felt that he couldn't accept it.
Seeing that Xu Liu did not kneel down and beg for mercy, Xu Guifen's face slowly darkened.
Xu Zongsheng naturally couldn't bear his daughter being wronged. To him, Xu Liu was nothing more than a watchdog. Now that this dog is disobedient and dares to disobey its master, he can't keep it.
"Xu Liu, since you dare to disobey and commit crimes, don't blame me for being cruel. Xu Qi, Xu Ba, pour this bucket of water down to Xu Liu. If he survives, I will forgive him."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the guards present changed instantly.
No one knows better than them what is in the well water, and no one knows better than them how overbearing the toxicity of Duohun San is. Xu Zongsheng said it nicely, as long as Xu Liu drinks a bucket of water, he can live. Let him go, but who doesn't know that as long as you drink Duohun Powder, no matter how strong your skill is, you won't be able to make it through, and you will all end up in a state where your soul will be scattered and you will never be reborn.
Although Xu Liu is a bodyguard, he has been with Xu Zongsheng for thirty years. Even if there is no credit, there is hard work. Xu Zongsheng is like this, and he obviously doesn't care about the affection for so many years.
Seeing that the two guards who were named did not move, Xu Zongsheng was very angry, and shouted loudly: "Xu Qi and Xu Ba, why don't you hurry up, do you want to commit the same crime as Xu Liu?"
Thinking of Xu Liu's fate, Xu Qi and Xu Ba didn't dare to say anything, and hurried forward, wanting to pour the water in the bucket to Xu Liu.
Xu Liu is not the one who sits and waits to die. He knows that if this bucket of water is poured into him, his life will be gone, not to mention that he will not even have the chance to be reincarnated. In the end, he was pushed down to the ground, Xu Qi cut his arms, and Xu Ba was about to pour a bucket into his mouth.
Knowing that he couldn't escape, Xu Liu shouted angrily: "Xu Zongsheng, Xu Guifen, you two are so insane, you will definitely be punished by heaven!"
Xu Zongsheng didn't bother to talk to him at all, he was just a dying person, so why bother with him.
"Give it to me."
After pouring a bucket of water, Xu Liu fell limp on the ground in an instant. The severe pain spread from his internal organs. He trembled from the pain, but he didn't want to show his embarrassment in front of the person who hurt him. Just like this, I endured it until I completely lost consciousness.
Xu Zongsheng did not leave with his daughter and others, but stood quietly where he was, letting everyone see what happened to Xu Liu.
Although he didn't say anything, Xu Liu's tragic situation has reminded the other guards that Xu Zongsheng's power of life and death is in the hands of Xu Zongsheng. Order.
These guards who followed Xu Zongsheng grew up together, and seeing Xu Liu's appearance, everyone inevitably felt a sense of sadness.
Xu Liu is the most loyal, but because he felt that Xu Guifen did something wrong, he ended up like this...
At this moment, the guards had a lot of thoughts in their minds, but they dared not say anything because of Xu's status and Xu Zongsheng's ruthless methods.
Seeing that Xu Liu was dying, Xu Zongsheng just ordered everyone to set off. On the way forward, he kept comforting Xu Guifen, as if Xu Liu's death was just a trivial matter. Seeing this, the guards felt a burst of emotion in their hearts. With chills, his loyalty to Xu Zongsheng decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, Xu Zongsheng didn't think that these guards could find out. In fact, in his mind, these guards were not even human beings, so how could they care about them.
"Fen'er, don't feel bad, dad said it, with dad backing you up, you will never be wronged in the future."
Xu Guifen was extremely grateful, she gently put her head on Xu Zongsheng's shoulder, and said gratefully: "Father, my daughter knows that you love me the most."
Xu Zongsheng patted her head, his voice was a little gentler than before: "Good boy, dad loves you the most."
After the group left, Xu Liu's body was slowly swallowed by the ground, but within a few breaths, he disappeared, and the swaddle thrown beside him slowly disappeared as he disappeared. .
Xu Liu thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that there would be a day when he would open his eyes. The pain in his body had disappeared at some point. He slowly opened his eyes and found that he was lying on a bed. A plank bed.
Didn't he have been hit by Duohun San, and his soul has been scattered? Why is he here
Xu Liu didn't know what happened, but the vigilance he had cultivated over the years still made him turn over and sit up immediately.
"You woke up earlier than I expected."
After hearing the voice, Xu Liu suddenly looked up and saw a middle-aged man in coarse clothes standing not far away.
The man was tall, because he stood with his back to the light, Xu Liu couldn't see his expression clearly, but felt that this man was unfathomable and seemed to be an extremely powerful person.
Xu Liu felt that the fact that he, who was bound to die in the first place, came back to life must be inseparable from the person in front of him.
He didn't think deeply about the other party's identity, he turned over neatly, and then knelt down for the other party.
"Thank you, my lord. I can't repay you for saving my life. As long as my lord speaks, Xu Liu will definitely go through fire and water."
These words are completely from the heart, there is no reluctance in the slightest, he escaped from death, and the other party saved him, they are his reborn parents, so naturally he wants to repay the other party.
The man didn't make a sound, and slowly walked towards Xu Liu, his face was exposed by the candlelight.
It was a face that could not be called handsome, and there seemed to be a little simplicity on it, but those eyes were as unfathomable as an ancient well.
After only one glance, Xu Liu lowered his head and didn't look any further.
Although he didn't know what happened, but this person's ability to cure the poison of Duohun Powder has already proved his strength.
No amount of respect can be overstated for such a powerful boss.
"You saved yourself, it has nothing to do with me."
The man standing here is naturally Qi Huang, he didn't take credit for it, but told the truth about the situation.
He is not a bloodthirsty person, the scene just now was just a test for this group of people, as long as they have a little bit of benevolence, like Xu Liu, Qi Wang will not kill them.
But it was a pity that this group of people obviously didn't have any benevolence, except for Xu Liu, no one extended a helping hand to the baby.
Xu Liu was taken aback for a moment, and in an instant he thought clearly about the cause and effect—could it all be a game
Qi Huang waved his hand, motioning for Xu Liu to stand up, Xu Liu didn't say much, and stood up obediently, he stood with his hands down, with a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Seeing him like this, Qi Huang slowly said: "Why be nervous, since I let you go, I have no intention of doing anything to you, if you want to repay your life-saving grace, you can exchange news, then we are considered friends. Evened out."
Xu Liu's expression lifted, and he said quickly, "My lord, I don't know what you want to know?"
Qi Wang raised his hand and waved it lightly, the water in the copper basin flew up, and a water mirror appeared in front of the two of them, and the picture presented inside happened to be Xu Zongsheng and his group.
"Tell me their identities, and we will be clear."
If it was in the past, Xu Liu would definitely not betray his master. However, before Xu Zongsheng did not hesitate to let someone pour Soul Reaper Powder on him, which completely consumed the bond between master and servant. He did not hesitate. He told Qi Huang the origins of these people.
"They are demon hunters of the Xu family in Huaiyang, the leader is the head of the Xu family's generation, and next to him is his youngest daughter Xu Guifen..."
Xu Liu told Qi Wang all the information he knew, and Qi Wang actually had guessed Xu Guifen's identity a long time ago, after listening to it, he was not surprised.
If he didn't have something to rely on and feel superior to others, how could he do the thing of massacring people's villages
Earlier, Qi Wang went to the deep mountains, and after finding what he needed, he came back as quickly as possible. After learning what happened before from Hu Sanniang, Qi Wang will cover the entire Peach Blossom Village. Rearranged to make it perfect.
In this world, as long as the soul is not as strong as Qi Wang, people will fall into this illusion.
There is no fatal move in the illusion, if there is no killing intent in mind, naturally there will be no danger, just like Xu Liu, he will be sent out of the illusion safely.
However, when people with murderous intentions enter it, the scenes they face will be linked to their killing intentions.
