Chapter 279 Scar of the Sky

Everyone exchanged greetings for another two hours. At this time, it was getting late outside, Mr. Li whispered to Li Yuanwai: "Father, it's getting late, we have to go home and pack our bags."

Li Yuanwai looked at the sky outside and said, "Oh, by the way, I would have forgotten if you didn't tell me, benefactor, the old man will leave, and there may not be many chances to meet again in the future. If benefactor passes through Yangzhou, Don't forget to come and sit down."

"Oh, Yangzhou." Shen Mu nodded.

Mr. Li agreed: "Yes, we are from Yangzhou. My father said that the trees are thousands of feet tall and the fallen leaves return to their roots, so we have to move back."

"Oh." Shen Mu said, "Then, when will we leave?"

Li Yuanwai smiled and said, "It's early in the morning."

Shen Mu said casually, "It's so fast."

"Fast? I still think it's too slow."

"My father is like an arrow in his heart."

"Grandpa, I will leave now." After saying that, Li Yuanwai's family cupped their fists and bid farewell to Shen Mu and Bai Suzhen.

Shen Mu and Bai Suzhen went out to see him off. At this time, Xiao Qing found the wallet left by Mr. Li, so she quickly picked up the wallet on the table, ran out and shouted to Mr. Li, "Mr. Li, your wallet."

Mr. Li turned his head, took a few steps forward to take the wallet, and thanked him with cupped fists: "Thank you, big sister."

"..." As soon as Xiaoqing heard Mr. Li calling her eldest sister, she couldn't bear it, and her face was bitter.

"Look at you, you are still so confused, how can you rest assured father." Li Yuanwai shook his head and sighed: "Grandpa, I am leaving, please stay."

Mr. Li also hurriedly gave a deep salute and said: "You are a handsome man and bid farewell to benefactor."

Shen Mu gave Mr. Li a hand, waved his hand and said, "Hey, I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, I will see you someday."

Bai Suzhen also nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, we will meet again someday. Take care, everyone."

……

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, your mission has been completed, and now you can start the big draw."

At this time, a large screen appeared in front of Shen Mu. On the big screen was a roulette, and around the big roulette was displayed: "1000 points, 5000 points, 9000 points, mutton fat jade bottle, Shen Juntian Playing music map, time eight trigrams furnace, blazing fire orb, illusion, pain transfer, air, leaf throwing knife, purification, stun light."

With a thought in Shen Mu's mind, the red button on the big turntable and the red pointer on the big turntable began to rotate, and Shen Mu silently said "stop" in his heart, and the fast-rotating red pointer in the middle of the big turntable slowly stopped, and finally stopped at On the top of the Raging Fire God Orb.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, you have won the Raging Fire Bead, now the system will directly transfer the host to the next random plane."

……

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, you have now successfully traveled to the plane of "Xuanyuan Sword: Scars of the Sky", and you are now a passerby."

In 601 A.D., the survivors of Chen State assembled tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to revolt and intend to restore the country.Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty immediately ordered to quell the rebellion, but what surprised Chen Guo's rebel army was that the imperial court's quelling army had only less than 20 soldiers and horses, and the leader was a boy who was only ten years old!

This mysterious young man in a cloak, with a mysterious golden sword, wiped out tens of thousands of Chen Guo's rebel army and horses in a single blow.The reputation of the mysterious boy and the invincible golden sword Xuanyuanjian has changed everyone's face since then, and no one dared to raise troops to rebel against the imperial court.

Sixteen years later, during the reign of Emperor Sui Yang, Chen Jingchou was ordered by his master Chen Fu to embark on a journey to find the legendary five ancient artifacts of the Central Plains.Chen Jingchou is a descendant of Chen Guo. When the Sui Dynasty was hunting for the survivors of Chen Guo in the infancy, his master Chen Fu sacrificed his grandson and took the risk to rescue Chen Jingchou instead.Chen Fu put all his desire to restore the country on the young Chen Jingchou. The name Chen Jingchou means "Jingbei prisoner, revenge of the country".

Because of the thrilling nightmare 16 years ago, Chen Fu knew that he would never be able to defeat the mysterious boy holding the Xuanyuan Sword, so he decided to change his method and began to look for the legendary five ancient artifacts that can make people obtain the world: Fuxiqin , Shennong Ding, Kongtong Yin, Kunlun Mirror, and Nuwa Stone, intending to collect them all and use their power to revive the motherland, and began this arduous journey of restoring the country...

Blue sky and white sun, the wind is light and the clouds are light.

Beside the crescent-like river, the river is gurgling, the willows are clinging to each other, a ray of breeze blows across the river, and with a slight cool breeze, it falls on a young man lying on the grass beside the river.

The young man was dressed in black velvet cloth, with a handsome face, his deep and energetic eyes looked at the sun in the sky that was about to be covered by clouds, he shook his head, stood up on one hand, looked into the distance, and saw A petite girl in a light blue sarong, with silver hair and snowy temples, sparkling blue eyes, and a red mole on her forehead, was kneeling beside a big hole with her hands tied behind her back.

This little girl looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is very similar to Nazha in the movie, but she looks much younger and smaller than Nazha, weak and calm, Shen Mu couldn't help thinking that this is Yu Xiaoxue?

There was a trace of despair in Yu Xiaoxue's eyes, a tear slowly slipped down from the corner of her eye, dripping on the tender yellow grass leaves in front of her, shining with crystal light under a ray of sunlight .

And behind the little girl, there is a group of villagers, including a man and a woman who look like priests, bouncing around and begging for something——

"Master River God, we have dedicated the sacrifice to you!"

Although the voice was very low, it couldn't escape Shen Mu's ears. Shen Mu knew at a glance that this was a cancer of ancient society and was engaging in superstitious activities. Such a cute little girl was going to be thrown into the river to feed the so-called river worm in the river. God, it's really ridiculous.

"Ding Dong, host, your first mission is to rescue Yu Xiaoxue."

When Shen Mu received the task, he didn't expect that the girl was Yu Xiaoxue, so he stepped forward with a few strides, and shouted: "Stop, stop—stop!"

Everyone was startled, and looked back at Shen Mu who was walking, Shen Mu stepped forward and said, "You guys are going too far, how can you sacrifice an innocent girl to worship some river god?"

"What this brother said is right, you guys are going too far!" At this time, another young man ran over, who seemed to be here to prevent the tragedy from happening. The young man looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing The blue commoner, with a sword on his back, looks gentle and elegant, but his eyes seem to be jealous of this kind of unconscionable thing, glaring at the two priests, a man and a woman.

The appearance of this young man reminded Shen Mu of Chen Jingchou, the prince of Chen Kingdom in the movie.

"Where are you from?" The priestess looked at Shen Mu and Chen Jingchou with warmth and anger in her eyes.

The sacrificial man glanced at him and said, "This is a man passing by our village. I have seen him on the road, and the other—"

Chen Jingchou said: "Yes, I'm a passerby here, and I saw that you were holding a very excessive sacrifice, so I came to stop it!"

"It's exactly the same for Shen." Shen Mu nodded.

"Ahem..." The village chief coughed and said in a hoarse voice, "This is what the priest ordered, and we just followed it."

Shen Mu said coldly: "This river god is a deceiving god, you have been deceived."

When Chen Jingchou heard that Shen Mu claimed to be Shen, he also echoed, "Yes, what Brother Shen said makes sense."

When Yu Xiaoxue saw someone standing up for her, and even when she was showing up, there were two handsome guys, her happiness value exploded. The look of despair in her eyes seemed to have drifted away, and a little bit of hope was ignited.

The male and female priests did not expect someone to mess with them, and both of them carried a sword behind their backs. They looked like people who knew martial arts. What they did was to fool people. Naturally, they felt guilty and said to the male priest: "You... what nonsense are you talking about?"

Some villagers are still very superstitious about sacrifices, so they hurriedly said, "That's right ~ how do you know whether the God of the River is real or not?"

The village head stepped forward and said to Shen Mu and Chen Jingchou: "You two little brothers, it is what the priest said to dedicate a 15-year-old girl to the God of the River for the safety of the whole village... If we don't dedicate it... Girl, the river god will be furious and bring disaster to the whole village!"

"... Calamity?"

The village chief nodded and said: "Yes - let the water source be cut off, or let us have no crops, so that we can't make a living!"

Shen Mu waved his hands and said: "So, there is something wrong with this god, it is completely the behavior of a demon! You should find a way to drive away the demon, instead of finding a poor little girl to sacrifice!"

Hearing this, everyone felt that Shen Mu's words were not unreasonable, and suddenly fell silent. Chen Jingchou secretly gave Shen Mu a thumbs up, and admired Shen Mu very much.

Seeing that what Shen Mu said was reasonable, the village chief paused, walked towards Shen Mu, and said in a low voice with hesitation: "Little brother...the god of the river is a god, but we are only human beings, so what can we do?"

Shen Mu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have learned some Taoism, maybe I can eliminate the River God for everyone!"

The two priests, a man and a woman, saw that Shen Mu might disrupt their plan, so they exchanged winks, and the priestess stepped forward and said to the village chief: "Village chief, this person must be a charlatan, run away He came here to solicit business and cheat us all of our money!"

The sacrificial man also hurried forward and said: "That's right! You're right, I think so too! Everyone's life belongs to everyone. If he loses to the God of the River and only hurts the whole village, what should we do then?"

"Hmm..." The old village chief murmured in his heart, looked at the men and women of the priests, then at Shen Mu, and sighed: "Little brother~~ I'm so sorry! This matter is related to the safety of the whole village, old man I can't take the risk to listen to you!"

With that said, the village chief turned around and walked to the river cave, and said to the two villagers, "Throw the offering down~"

"slow!"

At this time, the two priests suddenly seemed to be alone, their eyes were a little cloudy, and they stepped forward to prevent Yu Xiaoxue from being thrown into the river cave.

This made the villagers very puzzled. Why did the two priests change their minds?Even Chen Jingchou who was beside Shen Mu didn't notice it.

At the moment when everyone focused on Xiaoxue just now, Shen Mu was already silent, so he used the technique of fascination to those two priests who cheated in the world. Without any morality, how could he withstand Shen Mu's enchantment, just for a moment, as if he lost his soul, according to Shen Mu's consciousness, he spoke to stop it.

"Ah... you are?!" Now, the village chief and the villagers looked at the priestesses with puzzled expressions.

"Village Chief, in fact, the two of us are the magicians who deceive the world, we are guilty!"

As he said that, he knelt down and slapped, and the two priests slapped themselves in the face.

Everyone was stunned, although they thought it was unbelievable, but since the two priests admitted it, it should be true, only Chen Jingchou felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

But since the two priests admitted that they were lying, the villagers picked up the stones at their feet and threw them at the two priests, "You two, get out of our village! "

"Ouch...!" The eyes of the two priests suddenly became less cloudy, as if they had come to their senses, but they didn't know what happened just now, but the stones thrown by the villagers were not fake, and they were killed. Pain, wailing, and thinking about it, the two priests seemed to know something and wanted to explain, but they were chased and smashed by the villagers. There was no chance to explain, and they ran away in a panic, covering their heads.

"Ding Dong, congratulations to the host, you saved Yu Xiaoxue and got 1000 points."

Shen Mu stepped forward and untied the rope tied to Xiaoxue's hands, and said, "Are you okay?"

"I... I'm fine, thank you." Yu Xiaoxue stood up and rubbed her swollen wrist. Shen Mu, Yu Xiaoxue, and Chen Jingchou introduced themselves to each other, and then Yu Xiaoxue explained the matter. Originally said it.

It turned out that Yu Xiaoxue was sacrificing herself for others, and Shen Mu shook her head secretly, "What a silly girl. You are so nice, how could you suddenly want to sacrifice yourself as a sacrifice to the river god?"

"I...really...so scared...I...I..." Xiaoxue thought about it, her eyes turned red, and she hesitated to speak.

Chen Jingchou, who was behind him, asked, "Really, then why do you still..."

Xiaoxue lightly gritted her teeth and said, "Because...I think...the doctor's daughter is so pitiful...and I...I...I think...if I promise to sacrifice for her, maybe the doctor...the doctor will be moved, Willing to heal my brother's feet..."

Shen Mu was a little surprised: "What? Just for this reason, you are willing to sacrifice your life?"

Xiaoxue couldn't help crying as she spoke, and choked up: "Yes... yes... Last night, my brother was sad because he couldn't walk on his feet, and he was crying secretly. I saw it and felt very sad, so sad... several years A few days ago, my younger brother fell ill and had a high fever, and because I had no money, my younger brother’s feet were finally disabled...it was all my fault!"

"Wait a minute." Chen Jingchou waved his hand and said, "That's not your responsibility, where are your parents?"

Xiaoxue said: "When I was young, my mother fell ill and passed away...Father was conscripted by the government to fight and never came back. In the end it was only me and my younger brother...People in the village said it was because I was born with white hair Hair is a symbol of bad luck, so it brings misfortune to the whole family... Everyone originally wanted to drive me away, but fortunately, the old man who runs the inn took pity on us two and took us in to help in his inn..."

Chen Jingchou showed a trace of sympathy in his eyes, nodded and said, "So that's how it is..."

Shen Mu said: "But I think your hair is like snow, so pretty!

Xiaoxue looked at Shen Mu and said, "My white hair...would look good?"

Shen Mu affirmed: "Yes, it's really beautiful~~ It's because the people in your village think too much!"

"Really?" Xiaoxue felt a little embarrassed.

"Brother Shen, I don't know where you are going?" Chen Jingchou asked.

"Wander around the world, be at peace with whatever happens." Shen Mu looked up at the sky and said with a calm smile.

Chen Jingchou said: "Since that's the case, why don't you come with me?"

"This..." Shen Mu's eyes showed hesitation, he lowered his head and thought for a while, "That's fine."

"That's great." Chen Jingchou laughed, and then asked Xiaoxue: "You will have nowhere to go from now on, what are you going to do in the future?"

"I...I...don't know..." Xiaoxue lowered her head and shook her head, her white hair fluttering.
