Early in the morning.

Xizhuang Village, the main house of the Lan family courtyard.

Father Lan looked at the thirty gold bars neatly stacked on the square table and smoked his pipe.

Mother Lan, who was sent home by Bai Liu half an hour ago, sat on the edge of the bed and cried.

"Such a good child was killed by us."

"It's all my fault."

Lan's mother said with a haggard look,"We have never done anything wrong in our lives, but now that we are half dead, we have committed such a heinous crime."

"How are we going to face that child in the underworld?"

A loud bang startled Lan's mother.

Lan's father slammed his pipe on the table, and tobacco leaves and sparks flew everywhere.

"Shut up!"

Father Lan scolded,"We won't live for many more years, but Xiang'er is only fourteen years old."

"How can she live alone when we are not around?"

"All the sins caused by these thirty gold bars will be borne by us as parents."

"It doesn't matter if I'm reborn as an animal in my next life or if my soul is scattered after death.…"

"Being born as a human being, you have no choice~"

……

At the well at the end of Xizhuang Village.

A girl in a white dress like mourning clothes, struggled to lift a full bucket of water from the well.

She picked up the pole and turned to carry the bucket.

The girl was startled.

A foot away, Hu Zi's eyes were fierce and vicious, like a wolf, staring at the girl.

The tip of the wooden sword pointed directly at the girl's heart.

"You must have killed Brother Fei~"

The boy's eyes were filled with bloodshot bloodshot, something the girl had never seen before.

"Yesterday, Brother Fei got me this wooden sword and taught me a few moves."

"I was so excited that I didn't even hear my grandfather calling me to have dinner. I just kept practicing swordplay."

"Until I heard a knock on the door"

"I looked down from above and saw Brother Fei stumbling out of the village, followed by that bastard Bai Liu and a dozen county constables."

"That damn Lingshi County's top expert Cao Gang only came here after Fei Ge died."

"Without Cao, Bai Liu and the detectives were nothing more than a bunch of rotten tomatoes and sweet potatoes in Fei Ge's eyes."

"So,"

Hu Zi gritted his teeth and said,"You killed Brother Fei!"

"I saw black blood all along the way, it was shocking!"

"Why? Why did you poison Fei Ge?!"

Looking at the boy's hideous and distorted face, the girl said expressionlessly:"I poisoned him, but I didn't kill him."

"The county magistrate wanted to kill him."

"The county police arrested my mother and put her in jail."

"If I don't poison my mother, she will be cut into pieces."

"If it were your grandfather, what would you do?"

Hu Zi's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

His arm finally dropped down dejectedly.

"Sister Lanxiang, the teacher at the school once said that since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial."

"I think Yixiao is also in a dilemma."

"The righteousness of loyalty!"

"If it were me," the boy stared at the girl's face, which was as pale as snow,"I would rather swallow the poison myself!"

"Sister Lanxiang, Brother Fei is such a cautious person. When he took me to eat noodles in the county, he used his own chopsticks."

"Fei Ge must have devoured the meal you cooked yesterday."

"He trusts you so much~"

""Lanxiang, I am your ancestor!"

As soon as the words fell, the boy suddenly raised the wooden sword.

With a fierce blow, he directly chopped the girl to the ground

"Lanxiang, remember this"

"Keep this in mind!"

"When grandpa dies, I will have no more ties and will saw off your head to comfort Fei Ge's soul in heaven!"

"And those bastards in the county, don’t even think about escaping!"

The rain of wooden swords finally stopped.

The boy with the bag on his back ran out of the village.

After a long time, the girl, covered in dust, struggled to sit up slowly.

Her hands, which were beaten red by the wooden swords, gently grasped the edge of the bucket.

The girl saw her face.

The face that seemed to be crying but not crying, smiling but not smiling, was broken for a while, and then whole.

Broken, whole, whole, broken.

……

The boy's grave is at the foot of Mount Guye, facing the Baima River.

There are mountains and water, and it was Cao Gang who chose this place.

Hu Zi came to the grave, looked at the slightly raised mound, and thought about every moment he had spent with the boy. Big, hot tears welled up in his eyes. After inserting the wooden sword into the ground, the boy squatted down and untied the bundle.

The bundle was full of paper money, silver ingots, and gold ingots used to commemorate the dead, as well as two sets of paper shrouds and two female paper figures dressed in red and green.

The boy blew the fire stick and burned it while muttering to himself,"Brother Fei, this is the first day...""

"There are still six days left, and every New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, and Double Ninth Festival, I will burn lots of paper money for you."

"Brother Fei, it's going to snow soon. I don't know if it's cold in the underworld. You should wear these two sets of shrouds first."

"And these two female paper figures, I'll burn them for you as your wives"

"If they don't obey, you can send me a dream"

"Brother Fei, I will burn two more paper houses for you tomorrow. One is a three-story mansion for living, and the other is a five-story building for business."

"Brother Fei, Huzi misses you.~"

""Please come to me in my dreams more often~"

The murmur stopped abruptly.

The boy turned his head sharply.

He saw a white-haired mouse wearing a tiger-head hat hanging heavily on the treetop not far away.

The boy rubbed his eyes hard and looked again.

The branches shook gently, but there was no trace of the mouse.

"I said, what the hell?!"

……

Qixia Prefecture, Baoping Prefecture.

Deep in the Taihang Mountains.

Under Mount Buzhou.

The rat's eyes were bright, like a little whirlwind of red agate. The rat held a Jianghu newspaper in its mouth and jumped into the deep cave.

Deep in the cave.

A huge python with a body length of about 40 meters coiled into a red-gold hill and fell into a deep sleep.

The little whirlwind was light and agile, and it quickly jumped to the top of the red mountain, one section after another. What came into view was an extremely large python head.

"Master, Master, Mr. Qi is back, and the Jianghu Gazette has also arrived."

The little whirlwind stood up, stretched out a claw, and pulled the giant python's eyelids.

""I heard it~"

In the tired voice, the giant python slowly opened its golden candle-like eyes.

The two inverted snake pupils were red as blood.

"Ah~"

Zhu Jiuyin opened his bloody mouth and yawned sleepily.

"When did Mr. Qi come back?"

Zhu Jiuyin asked

"This morning."

Little Cyclone raised the Jianghu Gazette in his claws and added,"The Gazette is half an hour ahead of humans." Zhu Jiuyin half-closed his eyelids and said,"What did the Gazette record?"

Little Cyclone said excitedly,"The Gazette said that Mr. Qi opened the sky with one sword, and the entire Wei capital, from peddlers to kings and generals, knelt down like the wind blowing wheat waves."

"Mr. Qi also kicked the dragon throne in the Qianqing Palace to pieces in front of Emperor Wen Jing."

"Mr. Qi also said that Xiangang is the Xiangang of all people in the world, Baopingzhou is Baopingzhou of Wei State, and Taihang Mountains is his Taihang Mountains."

"Before Mr. Qi left, he also took away the plaque that hung high in the Qianqing Palace and read"Zhengda Guangming""

"Master, I saw Mr. Qi hang the plaque on the big yellow dog's kennel."

The red python narrowed his eyes slightly.

""One sword opens the sky?!"

Just as Zhu Jiuyin was thinking, the cold voice of the system suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Ding, it is detected that the host's disciple Chen Mengfei has died.……】
