One pound of meat equals one attribute point

Linjiang, a county town called Zouhu.

At this time, the sky was slightly flawed, and the thin clouds dispersed. The city was covered with white walls and gray tiles, and wooden buildings stood in rows.

A bird with a gray beak and white feathers swooped down from the towering city wall, flew over the undulating city below, and landed on a tower in the center of the city.

Below the tower was a square paved with green stone slabs.

The square was open, and it seemed that there was a heavy rain last night. There was a thin piece of water in the low-lying area of ​​the square, which was very clear and reflected the thin clouds rolling in the sky.

Although it was still early and the sky was not even completely bright, a lot of people had already gathered in the square.

These people were all ragged and pale.

They held pottery or wooden bowls in their hands, raised them above their heads, and their sleeves hung down, revealing their dirty arms inside.

In the center of the crowd was a temporary high platform built with wood. On it was a middle-aged Taoist with a burly figure, thick hands and feet, and wearing a dark yellow Taoist robe. The Taoist had an ugly face, his forehead was protruding high, and his eyes were piercing. He held the talisman in his left hand, the peach wood sword in his right hand, and stepped on the Seven Star Steps.

Every step forward, the high platform under his feet shook, and there was a creaking sound of being overwhelmed.

"The best and wonderful head, ten times to save people; the hidden rhyme of a hundred demons, separation and combination are natural; the red text of the mixed cave, the supreme truth..." The yellow-robed Taoist chanted, and his loud voice echoed in the square.

When the scripture was finished, the Taoist suddenly glared.

Swish!

His wrist shook.

The peach wood sword made a sword flower and stabbed towards the sky fiercely.

"Hurry up and open it!" With his loud shout, a ray of white light suddenly descended from the sky.

The white light fell on the talisman in the Taoist's other hand, and the talisman was instantly ignited, and the vermilion stripes on it fluttered in the firelight, bright red like blood spurting out of an artery. It was just a palm-sized talisman, but the ash produced after it was lit covered the entire square, first with a whirring sound, and then falling from the sky piece by piece.

The ordinary civilians below the stage had never seen such magical powers, and they all exclaimed.

A few days ago, a plague broke out in the city, and many people were infected with the disease. Either their bodies were covered with poisonous sores, or pus and blood flowed from their mouths and noses, and they looked very painful. At that time, there were rumors that this Taoist opened an altar and gave talisman water that had the effect of curing diseases and healing injuries. These people were originally skeptical, but now seeing this scene, they suddenly realized that this Taoist really had magical powers, and now they crowded forward to fight for it.

In this dark crowd, the two skinny arms raised upward were not conspicuous.

The owner of the arm was named Gao Ming, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old. Because of malnutrition, he was short, but he still struggled to lift the porcelain bowl full of water above his head.

Swish!

The porcelain bowl suddenly sank.

There was a sound of water evaporating from inside.

Gao Ming felt his fingers burning, and he was delighted.

His mother had been sick in bed for three days. At first, she could drink some porridge, but now she couldn't even swallow water. She was about to die, and this magic water was the last hope to save her mother. He struggled to put down the bowl, using his thin body to cover it, and wanted to squeeze out of the crowd.

But his body was too thin, and the crowds around him seemed to be drowning in a turbulent dark river.

Bang!

Someone kicked him from behind.

Gao Ming staggered, lost his balance, and fell forward suddenly.

He put his shoulder on the ground and tried his best to protect the magic water in the porcelain bowl, but most of it still spilled out. Before he could get up, another dirty big foot stepped down, and there was a crisp "crack". The porcelain bowl suddenly broke on the ground, and the remaining magic water was scattered all over the ground, mixed with the dirty muddy water.

The sound of feet stepping on puddles came one after another, and the crowd finally dispersed. But Gao Ming stood there with a dull look in his eyes. Now he had neither the magic water for healing nor the bowl for eating. He looked at the fragments on the ground, his mind was blank, and he didn't know what to do.

The boy looked around in vain, hoping to pick up some magic ashes from the ground and bring them back.

But the strange thing was.

When the magic ashes were in the sky, they were everywhere.

But when they fell to the ground, they disappeared without leaving any trace.

Now the last glimmer of hope was completely gone. Thinking of his skinny mother on the hospital bed and his sister who was only seven or eight years old, Gao Ming felt a dull pain in his body and didn't know what to do next.

Snap!

A big foot in black cloth shoes stepped down, splashing mud.

Gao Ming looked up and saw the ankles tied with coarse cloth, the yellow Taoist robe, and a big face with dark yellow skin.

"Why are you asking for medicine?" Huang Mingzi's voice came.

Gao Ming knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, "Please have mercy, Master. I'm asking for medicine to save my mother."

"It's rare that you have this thought. In that case, well... I'll make an exception this time." Huang Mingzi seemed to have a smile on his face, and then he put his fingers together as a sword and pointed forward gently. As if time was going backwards, the porcelain bowl that was stepped on and broken into pieces was restored to its original state in an instant. There was a bowl of clear water in it, and a light gray line was rippling in the center.

Gao Ming's face was full of surprise, his heart was pounding, and he kowtowed quickly, "Thank you for your mercy, Master. I am very grateful."

"Go quickly and feed this magic water to your mother." Huang Mingzi said in a low voice, "When she drinks it, she will no longer feel pain."

Gao Ming didn't think much and thanked him again. Then he carefully picked up the porcelain bowl, turned around and left quickly, disappearing into the green tile alley in front of him.

"I am so high above the world, but when I am in the mortal world, I realize that all living beings have sorrow and love... Just like this, I will catch them all in one fell swoop and finish them off. I don't know whether it is right or wrong to do this." Huang Mingzi sighed with emotion.

He is one of the other two descendants mentioned by Pambara.

Although he is stronger, he is still at the bottom among the descendants.

He actually did not recognize the orders issued by the patriarch. These mortals were indeed created by them, but they also had their own joys, sorrows and joys. Just cleaning them all up so roughly, the time and resources wasted over the past thousands of years is not a big deal. More importantly, the race has been alienated in this process, gradually losing its original intention, and turning into another kind of human being. Leather monster.

He couldn't bear it and was worried at the same time.

But……

The orders of the Great Patriarch are supreme.

Not to mention him as a third generation, even the second generation descendants who were born in the Federation did not dare to disobey.

Therefore, no matter how many thoughts I have, I can only sigh in my heart alone.

Putting his thoughts back, Huang Mingzi's heart moved slightly, and he noticed a message coming from the void in the distance.

"It's the news from Junior Brother Bambaluo. It seems that the mission over there has been completed." Huang Mingzi didn't think too much, but said to himself, "The layout here is almost ready. We will discuss it after we meet. At that time, we can activate the Divine Plague and complete the tasks assigned by the patriarch.”

He raised his legs to leave.

But before leaving, a warning sign suddenly flashed through my mind.

I don't know where this warning sign came from. By the time Huang Mingzi thought about it carefully, it had disappeared.

He looked up at the sky and saw two crows flapping their wings and flying towards the outside of the city. A few pieces of gray feathers circled and fell. The sky was gray and the clouds were getting thicker. The sunlight that had just risen was blocked, and everything in front of us became dim. Waves of cold wind passed over the city wall and blew from the mountains in the distance.

Huang Mingzi frowned and calculated with his fingers, but he did not deduce the source of the warning sign.

In the end, he could only shake his head, chuckle, and laugh at himself, "It seems that during this period, I have been too sentimental, so that my ideas have been obscured, and I have made many mistakes."

Just treat what happened just now as a minor episode and let it go gently.

Huang Mingzi didn't think too much.

With a flash of his body, he rushed towards the location agreed with Bambara in the news.

…

…

…

When Huang Mingzi stepped out of the void, he was already halfway up the mountain.

The environment here is beautiful, and it was a temporary base chosen before. The ground showed traces of being specially leveled. A winding path was paved with stone slabs, and at the end was a wooden house with a simple shape. Rapeseed is planted on both sides of the door, and the bright yellow flowers are already in full bloom. Further outside are two huge tea trees, and the sound of cicadas can be heard from inside.

It was early in the morning, the white mist in the mountains had not dissipated, the soil was moist, and a light fragrance filled the air.

Crunch!

I seemed to hear footsteps coming from outside.

The door was pushed open, and a bald figure came out.

Bambara clasped his hands together, with a smile on his face. Behind him, the room was filled with darkness that seemed to be substantial.

"Senior brother, you are back." Pambara said to Amitabha in an ethereal voice.

"Yes." Huang Mingzi heard the sound of the waterfall in the distance, and a smile appeared on his face, "The situation on your side has been completed. Did you bring that person back?"

"Of course." Bambara nodded.

"That's good." Huang Mingzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The Northern Xinjiang Demon Dragon is quite powerful. I have been worried about you since you performed this mission. Now that I see you are safe and sound, I can finally feel relieved. Now that these trivial matters have been dealt with, when we see Li Wenshe later, we will release the divine plague and end this completely."

"Everything is subject to senior brother's arrangements."

"That's right." Huang Mingzi nodded and asked again, "Where is that person? Take me to see him first."

"In the room behind me." Bambara turned around and made a gesture of invitation.

Huang Mingzi didn't doubt his presence, so he raised his legs and walked towards the room. Just the moment the two people passed by, "Poof!" He was shocked, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, with an unbelievable look on his face, slowly lowered his head, and a big hand covered with golden light had already reached in. In his abdominal cavity.

"you……"
