Since the day of the "engagement", the eldest son of the Yu family, who had been depressed for fifteen years, had finally ushered in the most brilliant moment of his life. Through the dark clouds, he seemed to see hope.
He was still working hard, and he didn't know fatigue. Only when the little girl called Dong Er came to see him would he show a sincere smile, as if he had seen the future.
He wanted to use his hands and shoulders to create a better life.
Sometimes, before the darkness covered the earth, he would climb up to the pumpkin house with Dong 'er and sit with Chu Yunsheng. But he did not say anything. Instead, he would look at the faint glimmer of light spreading in the sky. Then, in the gentle wind, he would squint his bright eyes, let his black hair flutter in the wind, and smile, and smile, and smile, and smile …
The injury of the second son of the Fang family was also completely healed. He was a fire elemental awakener. Chu Yunsheng didn't need to look at him, he could feel the Yuan Qi fluctuations coming from his body. However, he never wanted to talk to Chu Yunsheng. His eyes were filled with vigilance and uneasiness.
Chu Yunsheng knew that the reason was because of that bloody paper. Although what was written on it was full of loopholes for Chu Yunsheng, for the second son of the Yu family, it was exchanged with his life. It was the hope of the whole village.
After he recovered, he gathered a group of children and began to teach them to practice according to the contents of the paper. He hoped that one or two awakened children would be born.
The only awakened child in the village was the second son of Old Yang, who was engaged to the Yu family. He had already become the disciple of the second son of the Fang family. He was forced to practice every day by the second son of the Fang family. However, he didn't need to work, the village would also give him a share of the harvest, and it was a very big share.
Although the village chief Gao didn't like the second son of the Fang family, mainly because the second son of the Yu family always caused trouble for him. But if there was one or two awakened people in the village, the village chief Gao would be very happy.
The eldest son of the Yu Family also wanted to learn, but the Yu Family's wealth was too thin. He had to work hard to earn money for the village and start accumulating it to catch up with the others. Therefore, he began to learn to make decisions on behalf of his father. He asked his third younger brother and fourth younger sister to stop helping them and go learn from the second son of the Fang Family. Sometimes, he even admired his third younger brother and fourth younger sister. How good would it be if they could awaken!
Chu Yunsheng did not interfere with the activities of the villagers. Other than cultivating, he was also looking for a way to send Life Force into the pumpkin house. Until one night, he suddenly stopped cultivating. He had a hunch that he might not be able to find a way to send Life Force into the pumpkin house in a short period of time. Feeling a little helpless, he left the pumpkin house and walked along the path that was dug by the villagers.
"Drink, drink, drink!"
As he gradually walked further away, he could vaguely hear the sound of someone working hard. He did not know what that person was practicing.
Chu Yunsheng's figure flashed into the dense vine forest, and in less than a moment, he quickly approached the source of the sound, which was the place where there was a little bit and a half of a star.
"Oh, it's him." Chu Yunsheng smiled.
Under the small torch, the weak figure of the eldest son of the Yu Family was meticulously learning the movements and commands that his younger brother and sister learned from the second son of the Fang Family.
Chu Yunsheng did not disturb him, he just hid in the dark and silently watched every movement of the eldest son of the Yu Family.
He still remembered that in the manuscript he gave to Edgar, the cultivation stages of awakened people with different elemental attributes were also generally classified as Yuan Tian Yuan and Yuan Tian Yuan.
Because although they could not cultivate pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi like him, the changes that different elemental energies brought to their bodies, in some ways, had similar effects.
For example, Chu Yunsheng's Yuan Tian stage one was a complete process of building the Chu Yuan body. When he reached the peak of Yuan Tian stage two, the Chu Yuan body would undergo a qualitative change and become the Rong Yuan body. This process was similar to other awakened people. They also had a qualitative change from the "Energy Storage Body" to the "Fusion Energy Body". Of course, these two terms were not recorded in the ancient book, and no one else knew about it. It was just something he made up for convenience.
The difference was that Chu Yunsheng's state, whether it was the "Chu Yuan body" or the "Rong Yuan body", both of their structures were super stable, and they also contained and used pure Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. But the "Energy Storage Body" and the "Fusion Energy Body" were generally stable, and they also used a single elemental energy. Even if there was a twice-awakened person, their combination was also generally stable. The difference between them was very serious.
Also, when Chu Yunsheng first reached Yuan Tian stage one, it was actually very simple. All he needed to do was to follow the rules of the ancient book and repeatedly fill and release Yuan Qi. Now that he thought about it again, he realized that it was because the foundation of Yuan Tian stage one was built on the super stable state. If it wasn't for the fact that Chu Yunsheng's talent was too low, it wouldn't have been too difficult.
But as his cultivation level increased, he was different from other people. The rules of the ancient book required him to constantly break through the super stable state, and at this time, the difficulty increased exponentially.
Therefore, compared to his Yuan Tian stage one which was not complicated, the other awakened people's cultivation methods were not that simple. They were divided into seven stages, and each stage had obvious differences, and he needed to work hard to break through them.
The piece of paper that Fang family's second son brought back was only a small part of the "Yuan Tian stage one" cultivation method that he summarized for awakened people, and it was also deliberately changed by someone else.
Chu Yunsheng had read the content of the paper. There were a lot of loopholes, but he also had to admire other people's brains. In order to match the original cultivation method, in less than 20 years, they were able to create all kinds of body movements like what he was seeing now. According to these external movements, they could help the elemental energy in his body to transform his body as quickly as possible.
However, the boss did not have any energy in his body. Even if he practiced ten thousand times, it would still be a hundred times. As the person who started this whole thing, he did not think that he would be able to break the space barrier and awaken on his own.
Looking at the boss who was even more patient than him, Chu Yunsheng suddenly had an idea. Originally, he did not want to get involved in this matter, but when he looked at the boss, he saw a trace of something that he used to be obsessed with.
"If you continue to practice like this, you won't be able to achieve anything even if you practice for a hundred years!" Chu Yunsheng took a few steps forward and suddenly said.
The boss did not expect that someone would suddenly appear. He was startled and almost fell down. When he saw that it was Chu Yunsheng, he stood aside silently.
"Listen, don't ask anything, and don't tell anyone what happened tonight." Chu Yunsheng stood there quietly. Under the light of the torch, his white hair fluttered in the wind, making him look very "mysterious". He slowly said, "you have not awakened, so it is useless for you to practice these things. Later, I will teach you a set of movement techniques. Although without the assistance of energy, the effect will be greatly reduced, but compared to these useless things, I don't know how many times more useful it will be."
The boss raised his head, his eyes were filled with determination, and he nodded his head heavily. He had been in contact with Chu Yunsheng for a long time, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Chu Yunsheng was unfathomable.
"Watch carefully." Chu Yunsheng staggered his legs and did not use any Yuan Qi. He just followed the movements of the nine diagrams and tried to slow down his speed as much as possible.
…
After that night, Chu Yunsheng never went to the place where the boss used his sleeping time to practice. In fact, the boss was very smart. It was a kind of silent wisdom. Chu Yunsheng only taught him three times, and he was able to learn it.
Or maybe it was also because he had learned a lot of things from the adults over the years.
In any case, Chu Yunsheng was still looking for a way to send Life Force into the mushroom cloud forest. Sometimes, he would disappear for a whole day.
Days passed by, the construction of the village was also coming to an end, and the boss's wedding was also gradually put on the agenda. Chu Yunsheng's cultivation was also slowly improving, but he still couldn't find a way to send Life Force into the village.
The little girl who looked like an old man finally couldn't stand the cold winter anymore. She got seriously ill.
Chu Yunsheng silently sat next to her, holding her withered little hand. He had a healing talisman that could heal all kinds of injuries, but it couldn't cure this kind of internal disease caused by the exhaustion of Life Force.
These days, Chu Yunsheng told her a lot of stories. He told her that there was once a sunny world, where children could go to school, and adults could go to work. He told her that after she died, she would return to that warm world, and she would no longer have to suffer here.
He also gave her the most delicious food in the storage talisman, and used the extra clothes to make a doll for her …
But all of these could not stop the dissipation of Life Force, and the little girl was shrinking day by day.
In the end, she only told Chu Yunsheng that these days were the happiest days she had ever had. She wanted to continue being happy, but she also wanted to see the warm world that Chu Yunsheng had told her about. What was it like?
She made a small request to Chu Yunsheng. She hoped that before she died, she could see her face.
She said that she had never seen her face before, and she had never seen the mirror that Chu Yunsheng talked about. She just wanted to see her face one last time.
Chu Yunsheng hesitated for a long time. He was afraid that the little girl would not be able to bear it, but in the end, he still gave in and asked her mother to wash her old hair and face, and then put on the best clothes that Chu Yunsheng could give her.
…
One day later, Chu Yunsheng was sitting on the roof of the pumpkin house, smoking a cigarette. He once gave the little girl hope, but in the end, this hope was shattered. Although when the little girl left, she was holding a mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, and left with a smile on her face.
At the moment when she left, Chu Yunsheng seemed to understand the true meaning of Life Force, and the reason why the senior practitioner and the owner of the seven divine nails started the war …
He began to frequent the depths of the forest, looking for plants or monsters that could help him recover his Life Force as soon as possible. Often, he did not return to the settlement for a long time, because he knew that it was time for him to leave.
Chu Yunsheng did not want to go back anymore. He planned to go to the west, to the direction of the Zhiwu forest, Star Sand City. But when he was about to leave, he remembered that today should be the day of his boss's wedding. So he still had some feelings for this place, but it was not that strong, it was just a faint feeling.
He decided to go back and take one last look. It could be considered as a farewell. In the doomsday, it was often a farewell.
He shuttled through the jungle, moving quickly towards the direction of the melon field.
But when he returned to the melon field, all the blood in his body froze, and he stood there for a very, very long time. The chilly breeze lifted the corners of his clothes and tossed his white hair into the air. The strong smell of blood lingered for a very long time.
What appeared in front of him was not the lively wedding scene, nor was it the usual busy life. Instead, it was dead silence. There were bodies everywhere, even the children were not spared!
The fire was burning fiercely along the dry pumpkin vines, stirring up billowing smoke, roaring into the dark sky.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he took a step forward, stepping on the icy ground that was covered with blood.
Bodies that were split open were dismembered on both sides of him. Before they died, they almost did not have any power to resist. Some of them were still trying to protect the children in their arms, covering the ground …
Chu Yunsheng looked up and saw that the second son of the Fang family was nailed to the burning pumpkin house. He was tightly holding a piece of black cloth in his hand, and his eyes were wide open. Was it regret or hatred?
Chu Yunsheng did not know. He did not feel sad, nor did he sigh. He had experienced too many things like this, it was no longer a blow to him.
From his lips, he spoke softly, but it was enough to shake the world and raise the flames of war. "Yao Xiang, did you do it?"
Soon, an old woman's body gave him a rough idea of what had happened. He knew this old woman. She was left behind on the broken peak during the migration, but now she appeared here. It was obvious that someone had picked her up, so she was followed. This place was only one day away from the broken peak!
In the beginning, he had already advised the village chief Gao to think carefully. But he did not expect that today, they still couldn't escape the massacre of the sword fort.
Chu Yunsheng turned around and walked towards Old Yu's house. There were also dead bodies everywhere. There were only a few wooden rattan tables, which showed that a very simple "wedding" had been held here.
Old Yang, who was wearing a hat, was cut in half. His upper body was on the table, and his lower body was separated on the ground. His intestines and blood were all over the ground. His second son, who he was proud of, was still wearing the clothes he bought from the stall, but it was also cut in half from the middle.
As he walked further, he saw Lao Yu's head rolling under the table. His body was protecting Fourth Sister, who had been dead for a long time.
She was killed by the sword Qi that pierced through her stomach. Her blood stained the clothes that Chu Yunsheng gave her, and the doll that she inherited from her sister.
This was the first child he saw after he opened his eyes. Her panic and smile were deeply imprinted in his mind. Every frown and every movement was especially clear.
"Yao Xiang, do you know, she is only eight years old! Only eight years old! " Chu Yunsheng sneered. He gently picked up Si Mei and laid her flat on the ground. He put her organs back and tidied up his clothes.
After doing all this, he didn't want to watch anymore. He couldn't figure out why those people in black robes would even kill a child.
Even he hesitated when he was facing those crazy children who were controlled by the divine realm in the yellow mountain.
Was it just to get rid of the root of the problem? Or was this the only way to be considered an ambitious and ruthless person? Or was it because of the fear in his heart?
Chu Yunsheng drew out the newly forged Qian Bi sword. The sword Qi instantly cut open a big pit on the ground.
He threw the bodies into the pit one by one. This was his habit, a habit that he would never change.
When he picked up the eldest son, he found that his youngest sister, who was still a baby, had already been suffocated to death.
At this moment, the eldest son's "body" suddenly moved. He groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
His abdomen was stabbed by a knife. Probably because of the movement technique that Chu Yunsheng taught him, the knife slightly missed the target. But he didn't know what hit him from below. Both of his legs were broken, and he fell to the ground with his sister in his arms.
He struggled to look at Chu Yunsheng, and then he seemed to have remembered something. Using his hands as feet, he crawled on the ground and desperately shook the bodies one by one, "Sis … Dad … Mom … Si Er!"
"Dong Er, Dong Er? Dong Er, where are you? " He crawled on the ground like a madman. But in the end, he only found half of the little girl's body.
His mouth wriggled, opening and closing as he trembled violently. Tears rolled down his cheeks, but he couldn't make a single sound.
His dreams, expectations, happiness, everything had been shattered. The hand of fate had cruelly and mercilessly snatched away everything he had on his happiest wedding banquet. His family, his wife, and his future, but cruelly left him with only his life!
What kind of pain was this? What kind of cruelty was this!? Even at the end of his life, he still couldn't help but feel sad.
"If you want to cry, then cry it out. It won't hurt so much." Chu Yunsheng turned around and held the cold sword. His silver hair was fluttering in the wind.
"Was I also in such a desperate situation?" He didn't say anything.
A moment later, the Eldest Brother's heart-wrenching screams mixed with his extremely tragic cries reverberated in the air above the corpses. One sound was enough to break an inch of intestines!
The chilly wind of death swept the ground with a whooshing sound, like the mournful response of the souls who had died tragically.
When he was tired of crying, Chu Yunsheng said coldly, "Eldest son, there are two things in front of you.
One is the rag doll left by your sister, and the other is the broken sword I gave you. "
"If you choose the rag doll, I will immediately send you to see your family. From then on, you will leave this cold-blooded world and end all the pain!"
"If you choose the broken sword, I will cure you. From then on, you will be surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood. All the pain, all the suffering, you will have to bear by yourself!"
"Two paths, you choose!"
…
The eldest son's eyes were burning with burning hatred, as if he wanted to burn everything in this world. After a long time, he crawled on the ground and reached out his hand to the bloody rag doll.
Chu Yunsheng was like an ice sculpture, he gently swung the sword.
At this time, the eldest son gritted his teeth and put the rag doll into his arms. Then he struggled to crawl to the broken sword and held it tightly. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his fingers.
A healing talisman flew over to him.
…
One day later.
The fire of the cremation in the village soared into the sky, and the shadow of the fire swayed, lighting up half of the sky.
Under the light of the fire, two figures, one tall and one short, one old and one young, wearing straw raincoats and carrying long swords, walked out of the cremation.
One of the short figures turned around and looked at the fire for a second. When he turned around, his face was filled with determination.
Another voice also sounded,
"Eldest son, from now on, you will be called Yu Hanwu. Yu is your surname, and it is also the meaning of your last life. Hanwu is the cause of this …"
"My name is Chu Yunsheng, you will know in the future. I don't have any requirements for you, only two."
"First, do things with a clear conscience. Second, you can have killing intent, but you can't have killing intent. If you have killing intent, you will be the first one to die."
"Even an ant wants to live. After the pain, you still have to live, because there are still many things to do."
…
Chu Yunsheng slowly turned around and looked at the burning melon field. But he felt like he was looking at his past.
