Chapter 106: The Promise
"What's going on, is this black mist specifically for me?" Shen Xing was so weak that he couldn't scream, and just when he was desperate, a pair of thin hands suddenly stretched out from the ground, and these hands hugged Shen Xing and pulled him into the ground.
Shen Xing was pulled by these hands and escaped into the deep distance underground, and when these hands stopped moving, Shen Xing saw the appearance of these hands clearly.
It's a pair of pure arms, it has no body or mind, but it can move at will.
Shen Xing looked surprised, looked at these arms, and said, "Thank you for saving me, what is this place?"
Leaving the range of the black mist, Shen Xing's cultivation and strength slowly recovered. The pain in his body gradually disappeared, and there was a round hole in front of him, Shen Xing climbed a few steps forward and walked out of this round hole, and found that there was a completely new world outside.
There are flowers and trees, mountains and rivers, and what shocked him was that this underground world was full of stumps and broken arms, some had a single head, some had incomplete features, and some had a leg or a pair of feet.
In addition to these human limbs, there are also some animal stumps.
In short, this is an extremely strange place, these stumps and severed arms seem to have their own consciousness, they can walk, and some will make mutual intimate movements, which is an eye-opener for Shen Xing.
Suddenly, Shen Xing felt that his butt was scratched. He immediately turned around and realized that it was the hands that had just saved him who were teasing him.
Shen Xing couldn't help laughing, shook his head and smiled: "It's a pity that you are a pair of hands and can't speak." ”
"Hehe, who said I can't speak?" The hands suddenly hooked their middle fingers, and an old man's voice sounded.
Just when Shen Xing was surprised, the surrounding stumps and severed arms all gathered around and shouted:
"Who said we can't speak, we also have souls!"
The pot suddenly exploded here, Shen Xing covered his ears and said with a wry smile: "It was my mistake, I didn't know you could speak." ”
Although Shen Xing was a cultivator, he felt very unnatural when he was surrounded by this group of stumps and broken arms, and he had goosebumps on his body.
"Young human, welcome to the underworld, I am the patriarch of the Broken Clan, you can call me the Broken Wings Senior, or call me the Broken Wings Patriarch. A black wing that seemed to be broken flew on Shen Xing's head and said.
Shen Xing looked at this wing, feeling very weird, stretched out his hand to the wing, and said, "The junior has seen the Broken Wing Patriarch. ”
The Broken Wing Patriarch immediately cheered, and the other stumps and severed arms also cheered, Shen Xing scratched his head and smirked.
The Broken Wing Patriarch flew around Shen Xing's head, and suddenly with a light sound, he fell on Shen Xing's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "I vaguely feel that there is a spiritual aura on your body, are you ...... Descendants of the Lingdi clan!"
Hearing what the Broken Wing Patriarch said, the other stumps and severed arms immediately hid far away, as if they were afraid of the name Lingdi.
Shen Xing's expression was solemn and he didn't speak.
The Broken Wing Patriarch sighed lightly and said, "It seems that you are indeed a descendant of the Lingtu clan, I can't imagine that the Lingtu clan can still leave descendants after such a devastating catastrophe thousands of years ago, and you are worthy of being the master of the Ten Thousand Spirits." ”
"Although the Lingtu clan has helped us a lot in the past to break the remnant clan, but now we can only hide in the depths of this underground and survive, the Lingtu clan yearns to transcend the nine clouds, so this underground world is not suitable for the descendants of the Lingtu clan, you just leave, we can't afford to provoke your natural enemies, besides, they were able to wipe out the entire Lingda clan six thousand years ago. ”
After listening to what the Folded Wing Patriarch said, Shen Xing wanted to ask, but before he could open his mouth, his body floated upwards uncontrollably. He looked at the stumps and severed arms below, and shouted: "Who is the natural enemy of the Lingtu clan, what is your relationship with the Lingtu clan, how did this underground world come to be, why don't you dare to live on the ground?"
Shen Xing asked a few questions in a row, and he didn't know if the Broken Wing Patriarch had heard it, and his body quickly entered the dirt.
A moment later, Shen Xing broke through the ground. It's back in the black fog.
Shen Xing frowned, taking advantage of the fact that his body was not completely corroded by the black mist, and ran towards the outside with all his might.
The power in his body was rapidly lost, and in the end, Shen Xing still did not escape from the range of the black mist.
The heart-rending pain spread throughout Shen Xing's body again, causing him to sweat profusely. At this moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the black fog:
"Senior brother, are you there, why haven't you come back for so long. Hey, why is there a black fog here?"
This was Bai Jiu'er's voice, Shen Xing panicked, and hurriedly shouted, "Jiu'er, don't come in." This black fog is poisonous, you leave quickly!"
"Ah, brother, are you in this black fog, I'll rescue you!"
Outside the black mist, Bai Jiu'er looked anxious and quickly ran towards the black mist.
Shen Xing was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and shouted, "Listen to Senior Brother, don't come in!"
However, at this time, Bai Jiu'er had already run to Shen Xing's side, Shen Xing sighed, and said, "It's over, we both have to die in this place." ”
"Except for being a little darker, there's nothing terrible here?" Bai Jiu'er struggled to help Shen Xing up, and said with a puzzled expression.
Shen Xing looked at Bai Jiu'er who was safe and sound in surprise, and he himself felt the pain in his body disappear.
"What's going on, why did the strength in my body recover as soon as you came in?" Shen Xing wondered.
Bai Jiu'er grinned and said, "It seems that Jiu'er's meal is not in vain, and he can save his senior brother at a critical time." ”
The two walked out of the range of the black mist, Shen Xing looked back at the black mist, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that the leopard that shot the hunt, now the prey is getting less and less, I don't know what to eat in the future." It's nothing if the two of us are hungry for a few meals, but what should Brother Yang Lin do?"
Bai Jiu'er suddenly lowered her head and whispered, "Brother Yang Lin has an accident. ”
............
Shen Xing and Bai Jiu'er quickly ran back to the General's Mansion, Shen Xing kicked open the tightly blocked door, ran into the mansion, came to the bedroom, and saw Yang Lin lying on the bed, his face was as pale as paper, his lips were purple, his tongue was sticking out, and his eyes were bulging. There were also strangulation marks of rope around his neck.
"When did the eldest brother commit suicide?" asked Shen Xing.
Bai Jiu'er said softly: "When I came back, I saw Brother Yang Lin hanging himself in the room, he tore the clothes on his body and hanged himself with strips of shredded cloth. I picked him up and went to the mountains to find you. ”
"Big brother has actually been pretending to be crazy and stupid all the time, why didn't I find out, it's all because I was too careless! When I was a child, my father-in-law didn't have time to care about me, and it was my eldest brother who kept coaxing me to make me happy. Shen Xing stretched out his hand and closed Yang Lin's eyes, he couldn't help but shed tears, choked up and said: "You said, when I grow up, I will take me to fight the world with you, be a hero for a lifetime, drink spirits together, and ride a horse and gallop......"
"Big brother, Shen Xing is an orphan who has been adopted by his grandfather since he was a child. After my grandfather died, my stepfather adopted me again, and I still remember the day I first came to the General's Mansion, it was you who gave me a big hug and told me not to be afraid, this is the new home......"
"How can the world be impermanent, I knew today, why did I commit murder, I just rescued you in the first place. That way you don't pretend to be crazy and stupid, because I understand your feelings, and you can't face me just like I can't face you. It was I who killed my stepmother with my own hands, but it was my stepmother who poisoned my father, and that's why you don't blame me. ”
"Big brother, you can go on the road with peace of mind. Now that there is only one descendant left in the Yang family, Yang Yao is left, I will not hurt her no matter what, try to pull her back to the right path, let her get lost, and not return to the old path of her stepmother. ”
Shen Xing wiped his tears and said to Bai Jiu'er: "Senior sister, you go to the yard to clean up, and we will bury the eldest brother in the General's Mansion." ”
Bai Jiu'er nodded, and ran outside to sweep up the snow with a broom.
In the afternoon, Shen Xing personally buried Yang Lin's body in the courtyard. He was carrying a plaque at this time, which was the plaque of the General's Mansion, with the words 'Great General's Mansion' written on it.
Standing in front of his brother-in-law's grave, Shen Xing said, "It's time to fulfill the promise I made to my father-in-law before his death. All cause and effect are due to the struggle between the nations, I want to stop this war and restore peace to the world!"
Shen Xing left the General's Mansion, and Bai Jiu'er silently followed behind him.
