Chapter 26: Believe me or him (2)
Even if he tried to break the barrier, he refused, and was content with the status quo, and asked everyone to stay in the barrier with peace of mind.
Since Xiaojing is not a curse, there is a big problem with what Cui Hai said about the curse, probably there is no curse at all, he just deliberately wants everyone to stay in the enchantment, so as to create opportunities for himself to kill.
And the arrival of her, Qing and Xiao Qi is not a problem at all, as long as Cui Hai takes all the Nether Flowers, killing them will be easy.
So the top priority now is to find Cui Hai and see if he can stop the ensuing tragedy.
When they ran back to the town, they sensed something was wrong. Although the town was usually quiet, they could faintly hear the activities of the townspeople, but right now it was dead silent, as if every house was empty.
Yin Shubai was almost crazy, he knocked on the doors and windows of every house, shouted everyone's name, but no one responded to him.
Xiaojing in red was floating in the front, and ran towards Cui Hai's house without hesitation.
At this time, there was a vague smell of blood in the air, and Yun Ranran's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
If you can smell it from this far...
Qinghe and Xiaoqi are still in Cui Hai's house...
Thinking of this, she also became anxious, and couldn't help but quicken her pace.
The two souls finally rushed to the front of the house, and as soon as they approached, a strong smell of blood came to their nostrils.
Yun Ranran immediately opened the door and ran in, and saw Qing He who was leaning on the pillar in the atrium enjoying the moon leisurely, while Xiao Qi stood aside.
Seeing her, Qing He smiled: Junior Sister is finally back. "
Seeing that he was so leisurely, Yun Ranran thought that things might not be as bad as she thought, so she asked, "Where's Cui Hai?"
Qing He pointed to the backyard: "The people below are killing people."
Yun Ranran: ...
Then this brother is still so leisurely...
Qing He stood up straight and explained earnestly: "My cultivation is limited, I can't beat it, I'm too scared, so I'm waiting here for Junior Sister to come back."
Very much said...
Yun Ranran told them to stay here, and he took Yin Shubai to the iron gate. At this moment, the iron gate was open, and they rushed all the way to the bottom.
As soon as he entered, Yun Ranran stood there in a daze.
It is **** and cruel.
I saw the villagers lying on the ground, all of them were dead. Their clothes were neat, but they were soaked in blood. There were bright Nether flowers swaying on their chests, which were full of blood and spiritual power. The nourishing corpses gradually decayed and festered.
Cui Haizheng was covered in blood, holding a knife, the tip of the knife was covered with blood.
Xiaobai burst into tears, and he roared uncontrollably, as if insane.
"Why? Uncle Cui, why are you doing this?"
He wanted to rush to Cui Hai, but was grabbed by Yun Ranran.
Cui Hai was still very peaceful, he looked at Yin Shubai with a smile: "Because of the curse, I am helping everyone."
Xiaobai cried out: "Don't lie, there is no curse at all, I know, there is no curse at all, you are doing it for your own self-interest, you want to enjoy all the Nether Flowers by yourself."
Cui Hai was startled when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Oh, you know? Then I don't have to pretend."
"That's right, I killed so many people just because of the Nether Flower,"
"Uncle Qian who loves you the most, Aunt Zhang who always washes your clothes and calls you Xiaodouding, and Aunt Miao who calls you to eat at home every day, I killed them all."
Yin Shubai couldn't listen anymore, broke down and burst into tears.
The room was filled with gorgeous Nether Flowers swaying, forming a sea of death.
Yun Ranran looked at Cui Hai, who was covered in blood, and always felt something strange.
She looked around calmly, remembering that Mingming and Xiaobai had just come to Cui's house before. At that time, Xiaobai mistook it for a curse, and ran to the town sadly and asked people when she met them. At that time, the town was full of people, and then they After going to the back mountain, although I learned about Xiaojing's memories, because it was directly touched by the spiritual consciousness, the outside world was only a few breaths away.
How did Cui Hai gather all the residents of the town in this secret room in such a short period of time?
Looking at Cui Hai's cultivation base, it seems that he has never taken Nether Flowers at all, so it is impossible for him to kill so many residents in a short period of time. Why don't the townspeople run away?
Moreover, he had already killed many people before, so he must have many Nether Flowers in his hands. To be on the safe side, he should consume all of them. Why didn't any of them move?
Now that the room is full of Nether Flowers, he's just talking indifferent things, isn't he worried that she and Xiao Bai will rush to **** them away? such a temptation...
It was so strange, so strange that she couldn't figure it out at all.
She carefully observed the townspeople lying on the ground, some of whom she talked to during the day, but they were all slightly older, and the big cow she had seen was not among them, why...
Moreover, their wounds were all fatal with a single blow. The rest of them were clean and their expressions were relatively peaceful. If they were tricked into slaughtering them, it would be impossible for them to be like this...
Looking at the corpses all over the floor, Xiaobai finally collapsed completely. He broke free from Yun Ranran's hand, rushed to Cui Hai, snatched his knife, and was about to fight him desperately.
Yun Ranran suddenly thought of something at this critical moment, she hurried over, and in desperation, reached out her hand to hold the tip of the knife.
The palm was cut by the sharp blade because of the force, and the blood dripped like drops.
Xiaobai stared over with bloodshot eyes.
Yun Ranran said softly: "Xiaobai, they... committed suicide..."
Yin Shubai was taken aback.
Cui Hai looked at her with red eyes, and shouted: "Don't say it."
Yun Ranran couldn't bear to look into his eyes, and said: "Look, Xiaobai, the corpse is neatly dressed, there are no wounds other than fatal wounds, and there is no pain on the expression, which means that they didn't struggle at all, they...knowingly but calmly died .”
Cui Hai's complexion turned pale in an instant, and he sank down.
Holding the knife, Yin Shubai was at a loss, with tears pouring out continuously. He didn't know what happened or why it happened.
He cried and asked Cui Hai: "Uncle Cui, what's going on? Tell me, tell me."
Cui Hai covered his face in pain, and kept saying, "Xiaobai, I'm doing it for your own good."
Looking at Cui Hai's appearance, Yun Ranran finally understood the key point.
Cui Haijian finally couldn't hide it, looked at the young boy sadly, and said softly: "Actually, we... have been looking for a way out."
Since being exiled by the barrier, Cui Hai has been looking for a way out. He led the villagers in the town to try to break the barrier, hoping to lead everyone out and live safely.
In this way, while studying the Nether Flower in his body, he tried to break the barrier, and soon found that the power of the barrier was getting weaker every year, and it was extremely weak in certain specific periods of time.
After being trapped for several years, a small gap in the barrier was finally broken one night. Everyone was ecstatic and sent two strong men out to explore the way.
But who would have thought that the two of them were only out for a few days before they were approached by Cang Wu's men, and resisted desperately in order not to be caught back, but one died and the other was injured.
The one who was alive managed to escape back, and everyone knew that although Cangwu failed to capture Lingshui Town that day, he put a curse on it with all his heart before the barrier was completed.
As long as all the people in Lingshui Town go out, he can sense the movement range.
This news made everyone feel ashamed.
I have found a way to get out, but I can't leave. The barrier has become the only shelter, but hiding is not a solution, the barrier will disappear one day.
Cang Wu watched the enchantment being completed that day, so he naturally knew this. He had been trying to make a key to enter the enchantment all these years, and as long as he succeeded, he would definitely lead an army to come to him. He would never give something like Nether Flower to others.
Everyone knows the fate of being found by Cangwu. I am afraid that death will be a luxury at that time. He may use them to do various experiments, and even force them to continue to have offspring...
Everyone became silent and miserable.
At this time, someone suggested that it might be better to let a person take a large amount of Nether Flower, which might be able to resist Cangwu.
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him. The person who said this was Qian Hao, who was usually the most foolish in the village.
He saw that everyone was looking at him, and hurriedly explained, but I didn't say I ate it. Everyone can jointly choose a trusted person.
No one spoke, and everyone knew what this method meant.
This is the most desperate method, and also the cruelest method.
Cui Hai actually thought about it before, but he didn't dare to say it.
Qian Hao lay flat lazily, looked at the ceiling above his head, and said with a smile.
"I am willing to give my Nether Flower."
Everyone was surprised.
Qian Hao said, I have nothing to do, and I can't achieve great things. I spend my days idling all day long, but even a person like me has seen the outside world, but our children live in such a predicament and never Know what it's like out there.
If I can let them go outside for a walk, I am willing to give my Nether Flower.
Everyone was stunned, and all fell silent.
Aunt Zhang raised her hand, I have lived in Lingshui Town for most of my life, I am enough, Xiaobai, he is really working hard, I want to make the child happy.
Cui Hai's eyes were wet, he was very sad and moved, his wife pressed his shoulders, and said softly: "I am willing too."
Soon, everyone raised their hands one after another, expressing their willingness, so the plan was confirmed.
Cui Hai originally thought that this plan would bring blood and blood, but he did not expect it to be the only hope.
Afterwards, it was a matter of selecting the right candidate, and Xiao Bai, the only one among the children who had a spiritual root and was outstandingly talented and kind-hearted, was selected.
Although he has never practiced, as long as he takes all the Nether Flowers, he should be able to compete with Cangwu. Then he would be able to protect the dozens of children left in Lingshui Town and find them a safe place to live.
After that, everyone started a long experiment on the Nether Flower. It turns out that the flower seeds of the Nether Flower have been rooted in the bodies of the townspeople. They will break through the soil and germinate after reaching a certain age, absorbing spiritual power and gradually growing until they grow into a flower in the body. In the mature state, the Nether Flower will break out after the host dies.
So just to be on the safe side, everyone spent a long time waiting for the Nether Flower to mature. It was not until today that the barrier became weak that they finally decided to start implementing the plan.
And when Cui Hai killed Qian Hao, he was accidentally witnessed by Xiaobai, which led to what happened after Yun Ranran came. The adults in the whole town actually knew about it, but they just kept it from him.
Later when Yun Ranran came, the reason why Cui Hai didn't guard against her at all was because she had two memories of Yun Jian on her body. At that time, Yun Jian died for Lingshui Town, Cui Hai was naturally grateful, and when Yun Ranran came, he felt the same. breath.
It's just that she wasn't sure about her purpose, and she didn't want Xiaobai to know the cruel truth in advance, so she didn't tell her all the time.
He didn't want to tell Xiaobai because he didn't want him to feel guilty. If the child knew, he would try his best to stop it. It would be easier to hate him.
Yin Shubai never expected the truth to be so cruel, the knife in his palm fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
He remembered how he scolded Uncle Cui for being cowardly, and when he ran to ask the townspeople, they said they didn't want to leave, and only then did he know why they said that.
How could they not want to leave? They had seen the outside world, witnessed the light, and wanted to go out more than anyone else, but in the end they were willing to give up and left their hope to him.
But what about Big Niu? He was only four years older than him, and he was still a child. He searched for Da Niu among the corpses all over the ground like crazy, but he couldn't find it.
Everyone in the town came here, and Big Niu couldn't be away. He suddenly remembered that he had to wait for the Nether Flower in his body to mature and die before he could cultivate it, so he suddenly shifted his gaze to the surrounding compartments.
Brother Big Niu is not a few years older than him, maybe his flowers are not mature yet, he must be hiding behind some compartment...
The child rushed up, knocked on the door one by one, and cried hysterically: "Brother Big Niu, where are you? Come out, I was wrong."
He remembered that he had scolded Brother Big Niu for being a coward, and he was trembling with pain.
He kept knocking on every door, calling Daniel's name, but no one answered him, and he became more and more mad, and the palm of the hammer was bleeding.
After a long time, he finally heard the familiar simple and honest sigh.
Just behind the middle compartment, the door is thin, but it still can't be opened.
Da Niu said naively: "Xiaobai, stop making trouble."
Hearing Brother Big Niu's voice, the child slammed the door frantically again: "Brother Big Niu, come out, I don't want you to die, come out, I beg you, come out."
Daniel didn't speak in it.
And Yun Ranran knew that he would not come out, Cang Wu was too strong, and Lingshui Town only had one chance, so he could only do his best and gather the strength of the whole town...
Xiaobai's voice became hoarse from crying, and he had no strength to hammer the door.
When only Xiaobai's crying was left in the room, Daniu spoke with a relaxed voice.
"Xiaobai, go out and look outside for me, okay?"
"In fact, I also want to live in a lively place."
·
Brother Big Niu died, and all the adults in the town died.
The medicine field outside the town swayed slightly under the moonlight, like a peaceful and quiet night every month.
Sadly, the people who tended them will never come again.
Cui Hai originally wanted to die at Xiaobai's hands, but when the truth was told, Xiaobai was too broken and unacceptable. He locked himself in the room so far and no one saw him, so he could only stay and clean up the mess.
He packed up all the Nether Flowers, buried all the townspeople, and asked the little maid to take care of the remaining children.
The children are young and don't know what happened. They are sleeping peacefully in a private house at the moment. This is the hope that Xiaobai will take care of them in the future.
He also felt sorry for Xiaobai, knowing that he had endured too much, but there was nothing he could do, Lingshui Town needed a man.
When Xiaobai accepts this truth, he will offer his Nether Flower.
The day when Lingshui Town came together was completely different.
Yun Ranran is very sad, but there are more pressing matters now, and there is only one hour left in the countdown to her death.
At daybreak, her death will come.
She had been thinking about which conscientious person would come to bleed her, but now it's okay, it must be that bad guy Cangwu.
Although from Uncle Cui's tone, it can be heard that the barrier can last for a while, but Yupei told her that Cang Wu will definitely be able to break in tomorrow.
After thinking about it for a while, she understood the reason.
key!
The key she used to enter Lingshui Town was given by Song Lingyun, and Song Lingyun asked Qinghe to exchange it, and Qinghe was traded with him after the juniors collected it from Diyuan.
Most of the gates in the Abyss are monsters from the Demon Realm...
Where did this monster get the key to Lingshui Town? Cangwu did not make it...
This is really bad.
She, Qinghe, Xiaoqi, Xiaojing and everyone in this town together are no match for Cangwu, only Xiaobai who has taken all the Nether Flowers can resist.
But the child was hit too hard and locked himself in the room, unwilling to see anyone, and unwilling to eat even a Nether Flower, if this continues, everyone will die.
Yun Ranran was very worried.
Qinghe saw it, he walked to Yun Ranran with his usual smile.
"It's better for me to persuade."
"Junior sister knows, I am the best at enlightening people."
Yun Ranran didn't agree, and nodded to let him go.
Qing He walked to the door of Xiao Bai's room, and was about to push the door, but Xiao Qi grabbed his wrist.
Xiao Qi looked at Yun Ranran, and said coldly, "Don't trust him."
Qing He's eyes sank, and then he smiled softly.
"Junior Sister, do you believe him or me?"
There was a smile in his eyes, and he looked over like that, with a rare seriousness.
It seemed that this answer was extremely important to him.
He was obviously smiling, but Yun Ranran shuddered inexplicably.
Xiao Qi also looked at her coldly.
It's like a tough posture of "If you don't believe me, I'm going to make trouble".
