Chapter 8 Hellfire

Under the light, the pieces of fiery red manjusawa seemed to be burning, like the fire that would never be forgotten in her memory... the fire that burned her life's joy and happiness.

There were fierce fighting sounds and shouts in her ears, the smoke choked her so much that she couldn't breathe, and burning logs fell from the top of her head from time to time, and the curtains were already on fire—the 13-year-old girl couldn't help crying, but she didn't dare to mess around. She moved and stayed in the room obediently - because although her father didn't care about her, she knew that her brother would definitely come here to save her, and would definitely come here to take her away.

Therefore, she didn't dare to walk around alone, she hugged her shoulders and huddled in a corner of the room, waiting until her throat became hoarse from crying.

When the thick smoke almost suffocated her, she finally heard the sound of footsteps rushing desperately—brother?elder brother!Coming and going in a flash, she didn't even have time to call out when she saw the backs of the two fleeing hand in hand in the thick smoke and fire.Brother... Didn't he come to save her?Brother took Yuxiao and left!

"Tian Lai, how can you be so domineering? Yu Xiao is only one year older than you, but you can see how sensible she is..."

"If you mess around again, I won't want you!"

The words during the day were still in my ears, and the fire spread from all directions, besieging the 13-year-old child.Suddenly she couldn't cry anymore, she just sat there blankly and stretched her hands forward, but she didn't shout - watching her brother pull the jade flute, run away through the burning fire and the falling giant logs.

She was left here.Brother... don't want her anymore.

Brother doesn't want her anymore!He pulled Yu Xiao and left her and ran away!
The raging fire, the thick smoke, the screams of the dying, and the falling burning logs—all these suddenly lost their color in the eyes of the child.Her hands were still stretched forward, as if she wanted someone to hug her, but her big eyes were blank, her mouth was slightly opened, but she couldn't utter a single syllable.

A burning rafter fell, bringing howling wind and fire.The child's eyes were empty, and it seemed that she couldn't see at all, let alone dodge. She just sat there with her hands outstretched, until the rafters slammed into her little arms with a dull sound and a scorching smell. .

The arm was broken and drooped limply, but the pair of small hands still did not retract, stretched straight there, facing the back that had disappeared in the thick smoke, it seemed that they were still asking for a hug of nothingness, and still hoped to see that The boy in white looked back and looked for the figure.

However, there was nothing... The whole house was collapsing, as if a burning sky had fallen.

She knew that the sky in her heart had actually fallen... The 13-year-old stared blankly at everything in front of her, as if she was so frightened that she didn't know how to dodge or scream.The surrounding fire spread over and surrounded her, licking her clothes and hair.Flamboyant fire like open red flowers.However, the child's eyes were still pale and hollow.

Another girder was blown, and the giant tree roared and fell, falling head-on.

Are you going to die... At that moment, a smile flashed in the child's eyes, his body remained motionless, even his hands were still stretched out stiffly towards the burning air, and the burning fire falling all over the sky was reflected in his eyes.

However, at that moment, her hand stretched out into the air suddenly touched something real.The half-hidden door opened with a bang, and the white clothes flew over like lightning, the skirts of the clothes brushed against the flames, and he hugged her with a slight bend.Pointing to the toes, holding her up to face the falling fire, when she exclaimed, the burning house was already under her feet.

"Brother!" She hugged the man in white tightly with her broken hand, and cried out in surprise, "Brother!"

"……"no answer.The wind whistled in his ears, and the man had already hugged her and landed on the open space. He lowered his head to look at the little girl in his arms, and suddenly smiled slightly: "I'm not your brother."

What caught the child's eyes was the strange face of a handsome man, handsome and handsome, but the eyes under the brow ring were the deep blue color that only Miaojiang people have. He bent down to look at her with a wicked smile, The dark hair fell down her face, talking to her...

The child suddenly exclaimed: "It's not my brother, it's not my brother!"

"Master Priest, are you alright?" Some people gathered around, and two of the old men respectfully reported, "The subordinates are not doing their job well, so the young owner of Jianjian Villa escaped from the fire—Master Priest please punishment."

escaped?Elder brother... pulled Yu Xiao and escaped from these devils? !
At that moment, the child's mouth opened slightly, showing an expression that he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"Hey... What a pitiful baby. Come back with me, okay?" He didn't listen to the elder's report at all, and seeing the violently changing emotions in the child's eyes, the white-robed man raised his hand and stroked it gently. Looking at the girl's delicate face, she smiled, "Look, your brother doesn't want you anymore—come back to the Moon Palace with me, okay?"

"Don't!" She blurted out in alarm, struggling: "Let go of me! I want to go home...I want to go home!"

"It's really disobedient... No one has ever dared not to listen to me." However, the handsome demon priest did not lose his temper, but smiled gently, as if teasing a beautiful doll, "Okay, I I’ll take you home, okay? — But, I’m afraid that if you go back, you will still be sent back by your father.”

For some reason, facing this man who was more handsome and gentle than his elder brother, the child only felt unspeakable fear, struggling desperately, trying to break free from his arms.However, no matter how much she struggled, those slender hands hugged her tightly, and under the forehead ring, those dark blue eyes were also smiling, looking at her all the time—as if hypnotized suddenly, her His sanity began to fall into a coma, and he fell into a deep sleep unknowingly under such bottomless eyes...

That sleep lasted eight years.

It was a nightmare that she couldn't wake up from—until she seized the position of the leader of the Moon Worship Sect and tried desperately to get rid of it, she still couldn't wake up from that nightmare.Yunxi... Yunxi.That name is like a Gu poison that penetrates into the bone, entangled life and death, every time he thinks of the way he looked at her when he finally fell into the hell at the bottom of the lake, it seems like a fire is burning in his heart.

He mercilessly snatched her away from all her relatives, severed all ties between her and this world, and thought that she only belonged to him from now on.However, he forgot, how can a child who no longer loves anyone rely on him?
After pondering for an unknown amount of time, she raised her head and saw that the moon had already reached the middle of the sky, casting cold light on the land of Lingnan.

When the time is up, do the "brothers and sisters" of the Ye family still want to fight? ——There was a sneer on the corner of his lips, his little hand moved away from the clay pot, picked up the piccolo beside him, and blew it lightly, and the sound of rustling footsteps was immediately heard in the quiet empty village.Countless black shadows moved in the dark corners, with pale faces walking towards the wooden building.

Eight years ago, he was able to throw his own sister into the fire pit; now, is he not willing to cut off the head of that impostor?

The girl's eyes suddenly filled with indescribable gloom, and with a wave of the flute, she beat a zombie kneeling in front of her to vomit blood, and stood up with a sneer: "Okay, then, Ye Tianzheng, just wait and see how I torture you in front of you." That bitch!
The big red paw has already parked outside the wooden building, and the gold stars are strung together into a bead curtain, shining brightly under the light of the torch——that is the pedestal she brought out from the Moon Palace on Lingjiu Mountain: Worshiping the Moon The leader's shoulder.In addition to the two famous Jian Luo Baihui and Shi Jie from Jianjian Villa, there were also two leaders and deputy leaders of Qinglonghui, another sect in southern Xinjiang, who carried the sedan chair.

What a luxurious lineup... The black sheep she grazes will be even bigger after tonight, right?
The zombies knelt in two rows and prostrated themselves in front of her, from her seat to the parked shoulders on the stone path outside the wooden building.A sneer appeared on the corner of the child's mouth, he raised his foot, stepped on the head of a zombie in front of him, stood up, stepped on those heads step by step, and walked towards the shoulder parked outside the door.

The night is as dark as iron, and those red flowers bloom abnormally under the night, as if implying that the blood will soon flow all over Luofu Mountain.

Walking to the side of the shoulder, stepping on Shi Jie's white-haired head with the soles of his feet——Suddenly, he heard a commotion from the zombie crowd outside the village, as if something was rushing here desperately.

Is it the people from the Sword Trial Villa who want to launch this decisive battle in advance?I'm really in a hurry to find death... There was a sneer on the corner of her lips, she sat on the shoulder chair, raised her hand slightly, and motioned for the zombies to lift up the sedan chair.When the piccolo sounded, a large group of pale-faced zombies surrounded the girl in the red pleated skirt, and walked slowly towards the sword-testing villa in the dark.

The riot was getting closer and closer, and it didn't look like a large group of people was coming.On the contrary, the girl looked a little surprised, and waved her hand to stop the advancing team. The zombies retreated to the two sides, and in the exposed corridor, the blood-red clothes floated towards this side. The hand that came over ran wildly forward.

"Oh?" Suddenly recognized who was coming, the girl's beautiful pupils suddenly condensed, and a gesture made all the zombies stop their hands and feet, allowing the coming person to stumble and run over, kneeling under her shoulders, staggering Grabbing the corner of her skirt: "Master...Master, please, please stop!"

"Bitch. You are not afraid of death," the girl smiled disgustedly, and suddenly stepped on the other's face with force, "Why, you dare to come back to see me without bringing Ye Tianzheng's head? Didn't I say that, unless you Cut off the other person's head and give it to me, so that I can save you from the crime of being devoured by snakes? Do you think that I am the priest of Yunxi, and I will regret that you have not been punished for so long?"

"Master, please hold back!" Her face was trampled, Yu Xiao could not raise her head, but she refused to let go, her voice was in a trance because of exhaustion, "You can throw me to feed snakes or scorpions ...I deserve what I deserve. But please stop! If you go on any further, Tianzheng will be driven crazy by you! He has made up his mind to kill you! He is not far from being crazy...Don't force him any more Already!"

"He's going to kill me? Is that so?" The girl's feet suddenly paused, she didn't know what kind of expression she had on her face, she suddenly sneered, and kicked the girl away: "Very good, very good... I'll just wait Watch how he kills me!"

"Hello! One would rather fight to the death than hand you over, and the other would rather be devoured by ten thousand snakes than listen to the leader's order! It's really... really affectionate." The golden stars on the shoulder curtain were She was holding it in her hand, and the thin rope sprinkled golden powder. The girl bit her mouth hard, and suddenly laughed silently, her eyes were cold and stern, "You bitch, you sneaked into the sword test 11 years ago according to the order of Priest Yunxi." He is an undercover agent in the villa, and now he dares to betray the Moon Worship Sect! He instigated my brother to abandon me, coaxed my father into accepting you as his adopted daughter, and even wanted Li Daitao to marry into the Nangong family instead of me! ——Hahaha, who do you think you are? You It's just a pawn sent by the Moon Worship Sect to try the Sword Villa, to fight with me? Don't you think your life is long?"

"How dare this subordinate compete with Second Miss..." Such a vicious tone made Yu Xiao tremble uncontrollably, "This subordinate was originally kept by Second Miss in the villa, but he obeyed the priest's secret order to conspire to seize the villa; The people of the sect, but they disobeyed the order of the sect master for the sake of Jianjian Villa—no matter which side they come from, they will have more than enough to die, and they dare not argue a word."

"Don't call me Second Miss!" Those words made the girl on the shoulder even more furious, "Second Miss is dead long ago! You don't have to pretend to be pitiful—my brother isn't here, so it's no use pretending to be pitiful!"

However, when he suddenly realized that he blurted out the word "brother" in a rage, the girl's expression changed slightly, she just snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"Yes. Please give me death, the leader." Yu Xiao lowered her head, "I hope the leader will calm down and let Jianjian Villa survive, and don't let brothers kill each other—even if the subordinates die, they will be grateful to the leader!"

Silent for a long time, the girl did not speak, but looked at the subordinate kneeling on the side with cold and sharp eyes, a piercing smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "Hey, you really can talk... Before Yunxi sent you to try to be an undercover agent in Jianshanzhuang, Is it because you value your smooth-talking ability?——I want to see what your tongue looks like?"

Before the words fell, the red clothes fluttered, and a golden thin rope flew out like a ghost, strangling the woman's throat, causing her to open her mouth involuntarily due to suffocation, with a "poof", another The sharp golden cord pierced her jaw.

The little hand was tightening the thread, suddenly a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and he relaxed his hand.

"I'm not in a hurry to kill you...keep your tongue, and tell Ye Tianzheng the truth later!" The girl looked at the woman who was lying on the ground gasping for breath, her eyes were as bright as lightning, "Let him see, so Over the years, what kind of beautiful snake has he been with! The undercover Moon Worship Sect who betrayed Jianjian Villa and Ye Family!"

As if frightened by such an order, Yu Xiao struggled forward and grabbed the shoulders: "Master... Master, please don't! The priest promised me that he would not let Tianzheng know my identity... He promised Pass mine!"

"Yunxi is Yunxi, I am me. He promised you, but I didn't agree! Don't try to use him to suppress me!" The girl showed a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and kicked away the hand that climbed up in disgust, "You probably don't know yet Where is Yun Xi right now? He is probably still in the water dungeon under the holy lake, biting and biting with those evil spirits in order to survive or die."

Yu Xiao suddenly froze, looked up at the new leader in disbelief, and muttered: "How... how is it possible! You, you sealed the high priest of Yunxi? The high priest will not die, no People can control Lord Yun Xi!"

"Impossible? Do you also think that I will be kept as a pet by Yun Xi forever, and that it is impossible to climb to the ground to seek revenge from you?" Speaking of the priest who was thrown into hell by herself, the sneer on the corner of the girl's lips suddenly changed. It became a blurted laugh, "Hahaha... what an immortal body! What a demigod! Isn't it the same that I was imprisoned under the holy lake? Now the Moon Worship Sect is mine! It's mine! No one can stop me... ..."

The laughter gradually died down, and the girl's gaze fell back to the pale-faced Yu Xiao, and she suddenly snorted: "I don't think that's enough, if you tell Ye Tianzheng your true colors and then let him kill you, it would be a bit boring... ...But there is no way, why is he refusing to bring your head to see me?——Then I will peel off your painted skin to let him see clearly, and let him say whether you should kill me or not. ! If he also says not to kill you, I will let you go!"

As if being burned by such a terrible gaze, Yu Xiao's face was as pale as death, trembling, finally lowered her head, and asked delicately: "If... Master Ye doesn't kill me, will the leader, the leader really let me go? ?”

"Oh...Of course. Of course!" Looking at the woman in white who was kneeling at her feet, remembering how much this person had obtained for her over the years, a terrifying sharp sword formed in the girl's eyes, as if she wanted to kill the beautiful and gentle woman in front of her. The woman cut it into pieces and laughed, "If he actually says you don't deserve to die, then he is the one who should die!"

Ye Tianzheng took Sun Feng and the housekeeper to inspect the villa once, and when everything was properly arranged, night had already fallen, and the smell of blood was wrapped in the wind and approaching.

Sensing the attack of murderous intent keenly, the young owner of the villa coughed slightly, but turned his head and told the housekeeper: "Let the second lady take the female family members and hide in the purple cloud cave behind the villa, no matter what the situation outside is, you are not allowed to come out! "

However, before he finished speaking, he saw a young girl among the people guarding the villa, and he couldn't help frowning.Just as he was about to speak, the young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes next to the girl hurriedly saluted and argued: "Master, this is my sister! ——she refuses to hide in Ziyun Cave, she insists on following me."

"No, it's very dangerous here," Ye Tianzheng ordered coldly, waving his hands, "Don't let your brother worry about you, find a place to hide."

"I don't!" The girl pulled her brother's sleeve, trembling slightly because of fear, but her face was stubborn, "I'm afraid...not staying with my brother, I'm afraid of staying in Ziyun Cave! I want to be with my brother! "

Seeing how the two brothers and sisters depended on each other for their lives, Ye Tianzheng's face turned pale, and he suddenly said sharply: "No! It's easy to die if you stay outside... If a brother is worried about his sister, You shouldn't have let her stay outside! Steward, take her back to Ziyun Cave!"

"Yes!" After being blocked for nearly half a year, the housekeeper's chubby face sank, and he agreed in a low hoarse voice, but a embarrassed expression appeared on his face, "It's just... the owner, I'll watch it after dinner." There is no shadow of Second Miss, so I don't know where Second Miss is going right now."

"What?" Ye Tianzheng was slightly shocked, and was about to ask a question, when suddenly there was a faint sound of piccolo in the wind.

It was sad and deep, like the cry of a child.Such a thin and weak voice, but like a spell calling for death, shocked all the remaining people in the Sword Trial Villa, and chilled them to the bone - that person... that devil who hides in the dark night and manipulates the zombies is about to come!
"Everyone be careful!" Ye Tianzheng didn't have time to think about it any longer, he sternly reminded the disciples around him, drew his sword and leaped to the top of the wall.There, dressed in blue and facing the wind, it was Nangong Mo who held the Miehun Sword and stood on the high wall in a daze, looking at the way the dark night was full of fiery red manjusawa.

"She's coming." Without turning his head, but knowing that his friend had rushed to his side, Nangong Mo suddenly murmured, raised his hand, and pointed to the vast dark night, "Little Yezi...Little Yezi is going to come from here." A road came over. Exactly the same as ten years ago, wearing bright red clothes, big eyes..."

"It's not Xiao Yezi, it's the Lord of Worshiping the Moon." Ye Tianzheng coldly reminded him, hearing the confusion in his friend's tone.However, I suddenly felt a sharp sword twisting in my heart and lungs, and I couldn't help coughing violently, "It's the Lord of Worshiping the Moon..."

As if feeling that his emotions had reached the limit, and he didn't dare to think about anything, Ye Tianzheng clenched the famous sword Zhuanpo in his hand, and turned his head: "Nangong, do you still remember the swordsmanship we practiced together before? —— Your sky-butting swordsmanship, coupled with our Ye family's Tianluo out-of-shape swordsmanship, we all know what kind of power it can display."

Ten years ago, under the phoenix tree, the Miehun sword and Zhuanpo sword flashed brightly. Two handsome young men danced their swords and fought each other. His feet were shaking, and there was a sweet smile on his little face.

"Wait a minute, if the leader of the Moon Worship is distracted, we will join our swords and kill her immediately!" Ye Tianzheng's tone was sharp.

Nangong Mo lost his mind, let go of his palm, and the Miehun Sword fell from his hand to the ground outside the village.
