Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 357 The dead cannot be resurrected, but the living can still be saved

You Su still had those clear eyes with distinct black and white.

His eyesight improved, but he still couldn't see the world as clearly as a normal person. The blurriness was just a little less, as if there was always a rough glass separating him from the world in front of him.

But even he could clearly feel that the world outside had changed from white to black.

If it were the same time in Zhongyuanzhou, it would probably be late at night.

The clan leader has not returned yet.

Bai Ze was sleeping comfortably on the table, with a small piece of pink tongue hanging from its lips and its belly facing up, completely defenseless against potential dangers. You Su suddenly understood why it had always stayed in Cangshan Mountain and never went out. It might be a happy thing to live in its own comfort zone.

But I guess when it wakes up, it will never admit that it fell asleep under the touch of this hateful human, and it will even wag its tail and beg him to touch it more.

You Su closed the window, thought for a while and took out a piece of animal skin to cover it.

Just at this moment, there was another knock on the door.

"Master... have you rested?" Xiaolu's voice was very soft and very tentative.

You Su opened the door. The moment the deer saw the boy, his timid expression instantly became lively, as if he saw hope.

"What's wrong?" You Su asked.

"It's just that..." Xiaolu seemed to find it difficult to speak.

"Go ahead, it's okay."

"I just want to borrow some money from you..." Xiaolu stuttered, and finally told the whole story, "We don't have any money here, the money is with the tribe leader, but it seems that the tribe leader has been out for a long time and hasn't come back. Just now we asked the boss for a pot of hot water, but he said that our group had asked for water too many times, the free water has been used up, and we have to pay for the rest. We tried to exchange things, but they didn't agree..."

The only valuable thing on the bodies of the people of the Xuesang tribe might be the dried meat. But the inns here were opened with great difficulty, so they definitely wanted real money instead of dried meat.

You Su pursed his lips and took out a handful of silver from his Qiankun bag without hesitation.

The little deer looked at the silver stone with shining eyes, "This is a lot of money!"

"Please keep them here. Just give him one when you go to get water. If other members of your tribe need water, you will be responsible for paying. But remember, don't tell others that this is given to you by me." After giving the instructions, You Su walked over Xiaolu and prepared to lock the door.

The little deer was extremely happy. "When the chief comes back, I will definitely ask him to return it to you! Hey, great god, where are you going?"

"I'll go find him." You Su left this sentence and walked down the stairs.

By the time he came down the stairs, he was fully dressed: felt hat, high collar, sunglasses.

He walked on the deserted street and always felt that the Arctic city was particularly cold under the cover of night.

In fact, the reason why You Su was distraught for such a long time was not because he was misunderstood. He never cared about other people's opinions, even if he was really a vicious madman in the eyes of outsiders. What he really couldn't accept was that he had affected the people he cherished without knowing it, which was much more painful than simply making him infamous.

But after thinking for so long, his sense of self-blame was slightly alleviated. The connection with the power of God was always there. On the golden paper formed by the golden hydra, his senior sister, junior sister, Xueruo, Brother Kongyue and Venerable Qianhua were all there. This at least showed that these relatives were still alive. Then he should not blame others and feel sorry for himself, like a child who needed an old man to coax him.

The Arctic City declined very quickly and could not afford to support well-trained soldiers. There was not even a patrolling guard on the streets, and the city guards were just a few randomly selected young men in the city, so there were no unified dormitories at all, and most of them were acquainted with everyone who stayed in the city.

He only spent a piece of silver to ask the wine shop owner for the whereabouts of the two city guards, who didn't live too far away.

The sky was terribly dark. The residents of Arctic City had almost no nighttime entertainment and went to bed early. Only a few houses in the huge city still had lights on.

This made You Su even more uneasy, as Chen Yi had been gone for too long.

Did you fall asleep at Chengwei's house after getting drunk?
You Su shook his head in his heart. This old man had absolute obsession in his heart and would never do something that would cause trouble due to drinking.

In his eyes, the old man is an ordinary person who has done something wrong but has come to his senses and is eager to atone for his sins. He cannot be said to be good, but his nature is definitely not bad.

Such a person should do what he wants to do instead of running around for himself.

These people cannot provide him with any help, and he might even bring harm to them.

He had already made up his mind. When he found the old man, he would say goodbye to him and leave alone in the dark night. However, he was still at a loss as to what to do next.

Suddenly, You Su's nose moved slightly and he smelled a special smell.

That was a bloody smell!

At first he thought he had smelled it wrongly, because the crude animal skins on his body carried a faint smell of blood, but the bloody smell in the air had a damp and warm smell.

Obviously, it was blood that had just flowed out!

You Su immediately quickened his pace and ran towards the direction where the smell of blood came from. He turned two corners and quickly determined that the smell of blood was coming from the only house that still had lights on.

He frowned tightly, with an ominous premonition lingering in his heart.

"Is anyone here?"

You Su knocked on the door, trying to sound as approachable as possible.

"Who?!"

The man inside opened the door impatiently. He looked like a very standard Bei Aozhou man, masculine and rugged.

"Who are you?!" Seeing the strange clothes of the person outside the door, the big man's tone became even worse.

You Su quietly observed the scene in the yard through the open door, and finally found the source of the bloody smell, which was a slaughtered sheep.

The sheep was hung under a horizontal wooden stick, with a clear cut on its neck, and fresh blood flowed down its head into the basin below.

"Oh, you're killing sheep, brother..." You Su said with a smile.

The big man seemed to realize something, and said impatiently:
"This sheep is about to die of old age. It would be easier to get the meat if I kill it before it dies. What a lousy sheep. It didn't know how to hold on until daytime to die. I had to get up in the middle of the night to kill it. It's just bad luck."

There are many taboos when slaughtering sheep, and one of them is not to slaughter sheep at night.

"What does it have to do with you when I slaughter a sheep? I didn't bring bad luck to you, get out!"

The big man thought You Su was a nosy person who came to dissuade him from slaughtering the sheep, so his attitude became even worse. He was ready to close the door and send him away before You Su could explain.

But at the moment the door closed, a cold light came in from the gap between the door leaves, and You Su rushed into the house at lightning speed.

The big man also reacted very quickly, picking up the boning knife at hand and slashing at You Su. A trace of ruthlessness flashed across his rough face, no longer hiding his strength. He was indeed not an ordinary butcher! The blade cut through the air, carrying a chilling murderous aura, and accurately went straight for You Su's throat.

Fortunately, You Su was very agile. He dodged to the side and used the "Lighting the Lotus" technique from the Lian Sheng sword technique to neutralize the big man's fierce sword attack.

Sparks flew when the Mosong Sword and the Boning Knife collided, and the mysterious Qi formed an invisible aftermath around them. The sound of metal colliding was particularly harsh in the silent night.

You Su knew that his identity was inconvenient and he didn't want to make any big moves to attract attention, but every time the big man swung his sword, he had the momentum of splitting mountains and splitting rocks. He wielded the boning knife with great vigor, and the loud noise it made seemed as if he couldn't wait to let others know that there was a fight here.

You Su was almost certain that this person must have done something shameful, so where did he get the confidence to not be afraid of being exposed?

You Su was puzzled, but also determined to end the battle quickly before being discovered!

The two men engaged in a fierce fight in the small courtyard, swords clashed, strong winds whistled, and the falling snowflakes were picked up and fell again.

The flashes of swords and sabers continued to interweave, and another move clashed with the other, shaking up large pieces of snow. The big man felt a powerful force running through his chest and back, and his entire body was swept away by the huge force, knocking down the entire back wall.

"who are you?!"

The big man was lying in the pile of rocks, looking at the sword tip so close at hand, and he was horrified. This young man sounded young, so how could he be so powerful? He thought that the other party was at the upper level of Condensation Water like him, and he would definitely have the upper hand with his age advantage, but he didn't expect that he was no match for the other party at all? !

"I want to ask you that, too."

You Su pushed the Mosong sword forward, just stabbing it into the aorta on the big man's neck. He could even feel the big man's heartbeat like a drum through the Mosong sword.

But surprisingly, the big man did not show much fear in the face of the threat of death. He raised his lips in contempt:

"Do you think you can survive? Why don't you just hide in the snow? Why do you have to come out?!"

You Sujian frowned fiercely, the person under the sword was indeed related to Chen Yi!
"Where is Chen Yi!" You Su gritted his teeth, blood seeping from the tip of his sword.

But the big man was dismissive and not afraid of what would happen next. Instead, his tone became even more sinister.

"If it weren't for you! I wouldn't have ended up like this! You all must die!"

But the next moment, the mighty and unyielding man was stunned. He looked at the dark eyes of the young man in front of him. The faint green color made him feel an inexplicable impulse for some reason.

In this moment of trance, he subconsciously wanted to run towards the inner room. But soon, he found himself still standing there. His pupils widened as if he realized something, and he wanted to look back at the boy's strange eyes, but he couldn't even turn his head.

Because his body was torn apart.

"You are……"

The big man moved his lips, but no sound came out. His eyes were filled with fear as if he had seen the most terrifying evil demon in the world before he died, but soon, the bone-chilling cold froze his body.

This was the power that Zangtu had brought to Yousu's eyes. He had gradually figured out how to use that hint of green. When facing a strong person, it could briefly stop the opponent for a moment, and when facing a weak or defenseless person, it could arouse the opponent's strongest desire.

The big man wanted to go back to his room as soon as he was bewitched, which means the most important thing was in the room.

You Su broke open the door with a sword, lit a tinder, and immediately saw a shocking scene: the clan leader Chen Yi was hung on the beam in the same posture as the old sheep that had been slaughtered and bled outside. The dripping blood dyed the cold ground red and caused a billowing mist to rise.

You Su had read in a book that this was a bloodletting punishment unique to Beiaozhou. The extreme cold in Beiaozhou would slow down the flow of blood, but the temperature of the blood itself would never freeze the wound. If the person was hung up, the blood would flow down and press on the wound, so the wound on the neck would never stop bleeding on its own, but would continue to bleed.

You Su rushed to rescue the old man. He was extremely anxious and wanted to take out some pills to feed the old man, but the old man couldn't swallow it at all. He had to inject some Xuan Qi into him to stabilize his condition, but found that the old man was on the verge of death.

"Master Youxian...you are here..."

The old man's hoarse voice sounded, and You Su blamed himself. If he hadn't asked the other party to go out and get information for him, how could the other party have suddenly met with misfortune.

"Don't talk! I can save you!" You Su was about to cut his wrists.

The old man reached out his trembling hand and grabbed his wrist, squeezing it gently, as if trying to persuade the young man to give up.

"This is what I deserve... The dead cannot be resurrected, but the living can still be saved..."

Looking at the old man's sad smile, You Su clenched his fists so tightly that his joints cracked.

"He is the mayor of Arctic City... He has been waiting in Arctic City under someone else's orders... No matter what... I am doomed to die... Master, please don't blame yourself..."

The old man patted the back of You Su's hand. You Su felt the old man's body temperature gradually disappearing and felt extremely sad.

"Master, run away... You killed the city lord, so you can't stay here for long..."

Upon hearing this, You Su became depressed, as if muttering to himself:
"Where else can I run to..."

The old man saw the boy's confusion and smiled gently:

"Your Master and Sister are safe... You have nothing to worry about, just do whatever you want..."

You Su slowly raised his head with a look of surprise, and his brows, which had been furrowed all day, finally relaxed a little.

He looked at the dying old man, and suddenly a sense of determination arose in his heart.

"I'll go see the Dragon Palace for you! I'll definitely restore the Divine Brilliant Stone to that coast!"

You Su spoke every word with a sound like falling stones. He had not forgotten his mission to eliminate evil. But since he could not kill those weird things for the time being, he would first eliminate some things that were more insidious than evil!
Hearing this, tears flowed from the old man's eyes.

What the boy wanted to do most at this point was not to clear his own name, but to atone for his sins.

"I've already said it... You're not that evil demon who is unforgivable..."

The old man gradually squinted his eyes, and the last bit of strength he had was gone. He tried hard to pull You Su's collar, and You Su immediately understood and quickly leaned down to listen to the old man's whisper.

The name that the old man had been remembering for thirty years, the secret that he had never told anyone in order not to implicate his clansmen, was now passed like a torch into the hands of a stranger.

"Please... take care of them for me... Thank you..."

After leaving these last words, the old man completely turned into a corpse lying in You Su's arms.

But unlike the great elder of the Snow Mastiff Sect who was buried in the snowstorm, Chen Yi closed his eyes gently when he died.

His wish has not come true, but he knows that one day it will come true.
