Chapter 76
"Monster?" Xue Huaiqing was puzzled.It may be credible to say that his father is a monster, because Yuren is probably no different from a monster in the minds of many people in Lanzhou, but his mother is also an ordinary human being, and she doesn't have three heads, six arms and twelve eyes. Getting involved with monsters?
"I, I have seen her kill people with demonic methods..." The other party hesitated to say something that shocked Xue Huaiqing infinitely.

On the day when Xue Huaiqing's mother came to this village, the boy happened to be severely beaten by his father at home because he injured a neighbor's child.He, who has always been spoiled, was very angry and decided to run away from home in protest.

The boy who ran away from home for the first time started to regret it after a quarter of an hour.But he still had to persevere, so he hid on a small hill not far from the village, hoping that his parents would chase them out to find him and confess to him, and he could just go down the hill.

Hiding behind a rock just enough to cover his body, he was cold and hungry, cursing his damn father in his heart.He didn't know how long he waited, but just when he couldn't help but want to give up this struggle and decided to go home and have dinner before talking, there was a rush of footsteps on the mountain road.His first reaction was to think that his family members had come to pick him up, but just as he poked his head out, he found a woman with a big belly covered in blood running up the hill, and he shrank back quickly in fright.

Damn it, he thought, did he meet a robber?This is terrible.

He hid behind the rock, tried his best to breathe lightly, and did not dare to move. In his ears, he heard the woman with a big belly stop, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps, as if a group of people chased up and surrounded her, at least There are 20 people.

"You have nowhere to go," said a man among the pursuers. "If you want to live, tell him where he is!"

"Do you think it's possible for me to say it?" Although the woman was panting from exhaustion, her voice was still full of contempt, "Stop talking nonsense, let's do it."

"If you do it, you will just die in vain," the man said. "We only want to arrest him. You were not in Ningzhou at the time, so there was no suspicion. You could have left safely."

"Since I'm married to him, I have nothing to worry about," the woman replied, "What's more, it's not that you have spared my life all this time, but that I have been reluctant to kill. But now, I There is no other choice."

After the woman finished speaking, she seemed to have made some movement, and the pursuers surrounding her let out an exclamation almost at the same time, the voice was full of fear.The leading man even changed his tone of voice: "This thing...how could it be in your hands? It's impossible!"

"That's why I said, you didn't spare me, but I spared you," the woman replied calmly, "May your souls rest in peace."

"Let's go up together, fight her!" The man who shouted this sentence was another man with a sharp voice, his voice was extremely trembling, and it could be heard that he had fallen into deep despair, without even a little bit of basic confidence .

What could make those people so scared?The boy couldn't help being curious, he poked his head out quietly, and took a look.Only then did he see clearly the appearance of the woman standing in the circle. Although she was covered in blood and had a big belly, she was very beautiful.And the twenty or so pursuers surrounding her were all Yuren.These feathered people appearing in the human territory in broad daylight like this, either shows that they are very tyrannical, overbearing and reckless, or it shows that the pursuit of this woman is very urgent, and they have already ignored other dangers.

But now, the prey has become the hunter.The woman held a strange "iron rod" in her hand, about three feet long, the whole body was dark black, and there was a round ball at the top of the "iron rod", which was as black as ink.The feather people stared at the iron rod, all of them seemed very disturbed.

"I always thought that long cloth-wrapped object on your body was a sword or some other weapon, but unexpectedly, it was it..." The leader Yuren sighed, "Forget it, blame us It's too exaggerated, thinking that even if you really have such a thing, it should be placed next to that man... We deserve to die here today."

He shouted, and the feathermen immediately prepared to attack, some drew their bowstrings, and some drew their swords, but none of them moved as fast as the woman in front of them.The woman did almost nothing, but lifted the "iron rod" slightly upwards, her lips moved slightly, as if she was chanting a spell.

What happened next was truly incredible to the boy.Following the slight, seemingly careless movement of the woman, all the feathered people stopped moving.The bow and arrow had just been put on the string, and the long sword had just been unsheathed, but the movements of the feathermen stopped completely.Immediately afterwards, like lifeless puppets, they fell to the ground abruptly one by one, and they stopped moving at all.

The woman seemed to be full of confidence in her victory, and left without checking.It's just that she was staggering and gasping for breath. It is conceivable that she was seriously injured.Only when the woman's footsteps could no longer be heard did the boy dare to emerge from behind the rock.Those Yuren were still lying on the ground without any movement.

He boldly approached them step by step, and when he found that the feathermen still didn't respond, he stretched out his hand to sniff them.He found that the feathered people were still breathing weakly, and their hearts were still beating extremely slowly, but they were completely unconscious. Even when he stabbed one of the feathered people's thighs with a sword picked up from the ground until it was bloody, the other party didn't respond at all. .

——The bodies of these feathered people are still running, and their lives have not completely disappeared, but they can no longer respond to everything outside.They seemed to be taken away by that weird "iron rod" in an instant, and turned into thoughtless, unconscious walking dead.

The boy was petrified, and felt that he saw the most horrible magic that he had never seen in his life.His legs were weak and he was almost unable to walk. Fortunately, it didn't take long for his father to find this place. When he saw the Yuren who didn't know whether he should be alive or dead, he immediately fell in love with him. Forget about the prepared punishment for your son.

"What... what are these flat hairs?" the father asked his son tremblingly.

The terrified boy had a hard time explaining what had just happened.Frowning, the father squatted down to look at these soulless bodies, thought for a long time, and then began to grab the feet of one of the feathered men, dragging him to the edge of the cliff with great effort.

"What are you going to do?" The son didn't know why.

"The flat-haired brutes, dead or alive, can't stay here," said my father, "or we might lose our heads. We'll have to take them all..."

He made a throat-slitting gesture, clearly explaining what he wanted to do.Although the boy is young, he is not stupid, of course he can understand what his father means.The relationship between people and feathers in Lanzhou has always been not very good. Suddenly there are so many feathered people who are about [-] years old and almost dead near this small village. It's big trouble.He stomped his feet hard, stepped forward, and began to help his father carry these feathered men.

After a time match, the exhausted father and son returned home with gloomy faces. The housewife first scolded her son, and then couldn't wait to say: "Today, a strange woman came to the village, with a big belly and full body. Blood, she looks quite pretty, as if the old widower Shen Zhuang took her in... What's wrong with you two?"

She stopped abruptly, because the faces of her husband and son in front of her turned pale in an instant.

Xue Huaiqing kept the boy's story firmly in her heart.Many years later, when she began to practice corpse dance and had a certain understanding of secret arts, she began to think carefully about what kind of ability her mother used to eliminate so many people's thoughts and minds in an instant, but no matter what How to check the information, even secretly looked through the evil forbidden book "Book of Enchantment" collected by Master, but still couldn't find any secret technique that could have such an effect.In fact, there are some brilliant secret techniques that can really take people's minds away, but it is really unheard of for them to be effective on dozens of people at the same time in an instant, and there is almost no preparation time.

Later, she vaguely came to a conclusion that it was not the mother's secret technique that caused the feathermen to lose their souls, but the "iron rod" in her hand.The iron rod in the eyes of the little boy in the mountain village should probably be a staff, a ferocious soul-printed weapon. This kind of weapon often absorbs the power of the stars in the process of forging, and can exert a power far exceeding the spiritual power of ordinary people. utility.

Now, being imprisoned in Ningnan City, seeing the impatient faces of the Yumen, Xue Huaiqing is even more certain: "Looking for the murderer from 20 years ago" is just a beautiful cover.People today, who cares how the lord died 20 years ago?What they want is actually that soul-printed weapon.

It can be seen that no matter what race, greed is always the nature of intelligent creatures. Xue Huaiqing has come to a new conclusion.
