Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The lake water in the release pond is like thick blood, and at this time, there are no previous undulating waves, but calm as a red mirror. Most of the willows on both sides have been broken, and in the breeze, only a few wisps of dead branches and leaves move with the wind.
Xu Lin glanced at the three or five monks who survived, looked at the unconscious face of the little monk Wuwei, and then reappeared on a path in the dense forest.
The moon is full like a disk, and the bright light does not illuminate the surroundings, but makes the night more strange and cold.
When the four figures gradually approached, Xu Lin finally saw clearly what the so-called "flesh" was.
The old woman of the Xu family closed her eyes tightly, her face was serene, there was no trace of distraction between the silks, and her clothes were neatly worn on her body, but at this time she was lying on a stretcher carried by four people.
A pair of bloody eyes like a lamp basket flickered with a cold light as ice when they slowly opened, looking at such eyes, Xu Lin felt a sense of anger.
In the face of such a behemoth and feeling the anger of the other party, Li Zhutou did not have a trace of panic. With the knife in his hand, he smiled leisurely, revealing his white teeth, and in the dark night, at this time, he also added some hideousness like a beast.
The blood turtle didn't move, and Li Zhutou didn't move, and everyone watched the stretcher quietly, until the stretcher was carried to Li Zhutou's side, and as the big knife in Li Zhutou's hand fell, all the people were extremely nervous.
"Who would have thought that an old woman who was as weak as a gust of wind could be blown down was actually transformed into a monster. ”
Xu Lin's heart was already turning over at this time, although he had thought about it countless times in advance, and the context of the matter had been sorted out countless times, even if he had many questions about the old woman of the Xu family, he had never connected her with the blood turtle in front of him.
At this time, it seems that what Li Zhutou said is true.
Hehe, with a smile, the wide blade of the knife in Li Zhutou's hand was already tilted on the neck of the old woman of the Xu family, as long as he used a little force, I am afraid that the head of the old woman of the Xu family would be able to fall to the ground on the spot.
"How do you know. ”
Such a voice is very familiar to Xu Lin, it is not the old woman of the Xu family, who else?
Looking at the fierce eyes of the blood turtle, looking at the sharp fangs and sharp teeth on the huge mouth, flashing a cold cold light between the sheets, Li Zhutou's eyes burst out with a hideous gaze, and he smiled: "Thank you for this!"
The blood turtle was silently waiting for Li Zhutou to continue, and Xu Lin and the officers and soldiers and the surviving monks were also waiting.
"My father was a good drinker and a poet, and he was a poor and sour talent. And every time he gets drunk, he does two things, do you know what happens?"
The blood turtle was silent, everyone was silent, only Li Zhutou smiled, and continued to talk to himself: "When he is drunk, if he can't make a poem he likes, he will be grumpy, and when he is extremely angry, my mother and I are the targets of his venting." ”
Li Zhutou, who put away his smile, showed a trace of hatred on his face.
"My mother is gentle by nature, illiterate, and does not understand the things of the world, but she is just an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, so she endures it silently. ”
Li Zhutou and the blood turtle's eyes met, and then he actually showed a smile that seemed to laugh at himself and said: "You know? Every time that hateful man was drunk, every time he raised the wine bottle in his hand and beat me and my mother, I was so afraid when I hid in my mother's arms, and until this fear turned into anger, I suddenly had a thought. ”
A cold wind whimpered, blowing across the blood-rich lake, with faint water lines, everyone felt the coldness of this spring night, but it was cold to the bones.
"What if you kill him?" said Li Zhutou softly, and a fierce glint flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"And you killed him? But what does that have to do with the question I asked you. The Blood Turtle said in a cold voice.
As soon as he raised the big knife in his hand and pointed the blade at the blood turtle, Li Zhutou said with some excitement in his voice: "It's not me, it's you!"
Hearing this, a picture suddenly popped up in Xu Lin's mind, not long ago, next to this lakeside, what Li Zhutou said to him at that time was once again presented in his mind.
"Originally, I thought that this day would have to wait a long time. Li Zhutou's face showed a strange flush, and he continued: "After he beat our mother and son violently that day, he agreed with his friends that when the moon was full, he would come to the release pool of this Guangyuan Temple together, and use this strange lake view to make a dish for drinking, who knows that he will never go back!"
Li Zhutou licked the corners of his lips that were a little dry, and then lowered his head a little lonely, and said in a low voice: "My mother, who was stupid and didn't know how to resist, also died one night not long after he left. ”
The surroundings were very quiet, all eyes fell on Li Zhutou's body, and there was still the humidity of the previous blood rain in the air, which quietly filled the surroundings after the gusts of night wind blew.
Li Zhutou raised his head, then stared at the strange eyes of the blood turtle and said, "Whether you remember killing someone like my father or not, this is good for me after all." Although I was later adrift in the world, I was valued by others for my skills, and I always wanted to come and see you. ”
"And how did you see through me, I just want to know that. The blood turtle narrowed his eyes full of red light and said with a slight mockery.
With a smile, Li Zhutou put the big knife in his hand back on the neck of the old woman of the Xu family, and then said with a smile: "Back then, I was adrift in the world and was accepted as an apprentice by a stranger, but do you know where my master came from?"
When Xu Lin heard this, he suddenly thought of something in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but show a hint of excitement, but more of an expectation.
"Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect! My master is a branch of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect!"
The blood turtle's eyes suddenly shrank, they were originally red and shining, but at this moment they seemed to have suddenly extinguished, and when the blood turtle looked at Li Zhutou again, his eyes were full of fierce color.
"The powerful monk who founded this Guangyuan Temple, when he traveled around the world, came here by chance, saw the lake in front of him, and there was something wrong, and after a few days of inspection, he knew the real reason for the change in the water of the lake, Blood Demon!"
This title is all too familiar to Xu Lin who is hiding on the sidelines, but for the cultivation world, it is a disaster.
Blood demons crisscross the world, trampling on the ground and dry bones, killing all over the world, bloodthirsty as demons, even if the demon lord who dominated the world back then was not as bloody and cruel as him, but such a generation of heroes did not escape the fate of annihilation.
This name leaves the world with only horror, and this title brings the world a memory that they will never want to mention, but for Xu Lin, he is so kind and exciting.
Xu Lin held Leng Yujian's hand, and he was trembling at this time, it was because of excitement, because things were unfolding in the direction he had guessed before.
"The master left me a treasure on his deathbed. As he spoke, Li Zhutou reached out and took out a dark green bronze mirror.
Looking at the hideous face of the blood turtle, Li Zhutou took a look at the bronze mirror at the Xu woman. On the dark green mirror, it turned out to be empty.
Hehe laughed, Li Zhutou glanced at the bronze mirror in his hand and said: "This treasure is called the Soul Mirror, and its peculiarity is that it can reflect the soul on the mirror, but on the same day, when I saw you, guess what I saw from this mirror?"
The blood turtle's gaze stayed on the mirror for a while, and then turned to the mocking smile on Li Zhutou's face, and when he was silent for a long time, Li Zhutou spoke again.
"A bevelous, half-human-like turtle face, that's what I saw!"
Li Zhutou put the bronze mirror back into his arms, looked at the blood turtle, and was silent for a while before he said: "The powerful monk of the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, after the strange appearance here and there, once went down to the bottom of this lake to inspect the cause and found the crux of the problem, but the treasure left by the blood demon seems to have the ability to demonize, even the powerful monk can't take this treasure for a long time, so he can only put it aside at the bottom of the lake for the time being." ”
Hearing this, Xu Lin was already basically sure what the so-called "treasure" was, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
"After the battle between the cultivation world and the blood demon, the vitality was greatly injured, especially the Ten Thousand Buddha Sect, the losses were even more heavy, and several Buddhas in the sect fell one after another, not to mention, and were suppressed and retaliated by the Demon Sect, and the powerful monk saw that the sect was like this, so he suppressed the matter. ”
Looking at the huge body of the blood turtle, and then at the old woman of the Xu family who was lying on the stretcher, a mocking smile appeared on Li Zhutou's face.
"The construction of Guangyuan Temple is to hide people's eyes at the same time, but also to protect this place, the powerful monk with the Buddhist mantra, after sealing the blood demon treasure in this lake, once expected that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect can regain its prestige after a period of malaise, but this is only a dream of Nan Ke after all. ”
After listening to Li Zhutou's words, Xu Lin's eyes also shifted to the sparkling lake, and in his heart, he was able to roughly connect the events about Guangyuan Temple.
At that time, the powerful monk of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect, by chance, saw the release pool in front of him, and showed the strange place, and because of the things left by the blood demon, the power of the demon was too strong, and because the sect where it was located was in an eventful season, so the treasure of the blood demon was left in this lake.
Many years later, Guangyuan Temple, in order to hide people's eyes and ears of the temple rose from the ground, the powerful monk waited in the temple, until the sect appeared to endanger the survival of the powerful relationship, the powerful monk returned to the sect again, and then there was no news, and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect has since disappeared from the world, only this Guangyuan Temple remains.
