Han Cheng once saw Shen Budu, the immortal head of Xiujie, on the photo stone, and knew that he was not like the person in front of him.

But the way the opponent used the Divine Weapon Qiankun familiarly made him instantly sure that this person was Shen Budu.

Even if there is a second person who can get the Divine Weapon Universe, but the smooth and flowing movements, the chic and comfortable moves, the unexpected changes, and the unique temperament that belongs to Shen Budu - no one in this world can easily imitate.

Shen Budu raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that Han Cheng could see his identity at a glance.But he didn't answer, just said: "I heard that those who have passed the three passes can leave the Northern Wilderness, and the Lord Han should not count his words, right?"

Han Cheng stared at him for a while, with bitterness in his eyes, and shook his head mockingly: "If it's you...then I have nothing to complain about."

Facing the Qiankun sword, he closed his eyes with a calm expression. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but there seemed to be a hint of relief.

Shen Budu retracted his sword: "You misunderstood. I didn't intend to kill you."

Han Cheng was startled, opened his eyes, and looked at him with some puzzlement.

"You and I have no vengeance, why kill you? I was just planning to leave this place." Shen Budu said, "But I do have a doubt, why did the Han City Lord set such a rule to turn Beihuang into a What about a forbidden place that you can only enter? I have encountered many wicked people along the way, but there are always more good people than wicked people.”

I don't know how many people have asked Han Cheng this question, but Han Cheng never bothered to answer it, or in other words, it didn't make any sense to answer it.

But facing Shen Budu, he was silent for a moment, and reached out to remove the iron mask on his left face.

I saw that the man's left face was completely covered by some kind of black mark, the mark was distorted and complicated, with an ominous red faintly appearing on the edge, it didn't look ugly, but it was very strange and terrifying.

"I've been cursed." Han Cheng clenched his fists, and his handsome face was cut in half, making the deep-rooted hatred appearing more ferocious. "Or, our entire Han family has been cursed."

This is the reason why Shen Budu didn't think about it.His face changed slightly, and he asked in a low voice, "Who did it?"

Han Cheng uttered two words coldly: "Zhou Ding."

Zhou Ding, the immortal head of cultivating the world before Shen Budu, lived for more than 150 years, but was corrupted by Fairy Yu and died in the ghost race.

"...how could it be him?"

Shen Budu didn't have much contact with Zhou Ding. Although the other party was a little ignorant, stubborn and self-righteous in his impression, he was far from being a villain, and he had never made any serious mistakes when he served as the first immortal.

"Isn't it unexpected? My father didn't expect it back then." Han Cheng smiled sarcastically, "My father, Han Liang, saved his life when he was young. Zhou Ding later sworn brothers with my father, and swore that he would have the same blessings in this life. It’s hard to be the same. Later, he became the head of the fairy, and in order to ‘grate’ his father’s support and help for many years, he gave my father the entire Northern Wilderness and told him that he can call himself king here.”

Although the Northern Wilderness was remote and far away at that time, it was not occupied by villains. The people living here were ordinary people, and the folk customs were very simple.In addition, a large area of ​​resources has not been developed, and the natural scenery is also well maintained. Except for being far away, other aspects are not bad.Zhou Ding once said that he would "share the blessings" with his brother, but there is only one immortal head, so he let Han Liang rule the North Wilderness alone, which is really not a bad treatment.

Han Liang's character is honest and honest, and he just doesn't like the extravagance and complexity of the upper spirit world. After many years of fighting, he really wants to rest and enjoy the family happiness with his children and grandchildren.Hearing Zhou Ding's arrangement, he was very satisfied, even grateful, and immediately moved to Beihuang with his whole family.

But not long after the leisurely days, trouble came.

Han Liang discovered that some evildoers began to pour into the Northern Wilderness. They ignored the law and discipline, acted recklessly, and even killed the people of the Northern Wilderness for no reason.When Han Liang knew about it, he immediately ordered people to arrest these people and asked them where they came from.

These people said that they were exiled by Zhou Xianshou from the upper spirit world.

Han Liang was puzzled, so he wrote a letter to ask Zhou Ding, and it took more than half a month before he received a reply from the other party. The words in the letter were very guilty and apologetic.Zhou Ding told him that it was very difficult for him to be the head of the fairy. Many villains in the upper spirit world wanted him to step down, so they deliberately created all kinds of turmoil. He had to temporarily send these people to the remote northern wilderness. The deterrent effect is also good for maintaining the stability of the upper spirit world.

Han Liang was used to wiping his good brother's butt, thinking that it was really not easy for him, so he helped him clean up the mess again.

However, more and more prisoners were sent to the Northern Wilderness, and the situation in the Northern Wilderness became more and more chaotic, almost uncontrollable.Han Liang couldn't sit still anymore, so he wrote to Zhou Ding again, asking him not to send the prisoners here, and asked him, isn't there a Wujianya in the upper spirit world where criminal monks are detained, why not put the prisoners there?

Zhou Ding answered him vaguely, that Wujianya should not lock up too many prisoners, otherwise it would appear that the upper spirit world is in chaos and affect his "political achievements".

Only then did Han Liang realize that maybe Zhou Ding didn't have so many difficulties. He just threw all the ugly, evil and bad things to his brother, and made his upper spirit world into a pure and flawless appearance to show How majestic and powerful he is, no Xiaoxiao would dare to make a fool of him under his nose.

But Han Liang also has his own territory and people to protect.He couldn't bear to see the well-behaved Northern Wilderness gradually becoming a base for mobs, so he set off for the Upper Spirit Realm in person, asking Zhou Ding for an explanation.

But something terrible happened.

He was less than a mile away from the border of the Northern Wilderness, and suddenly felt itchy and painful all over his skin. When he looked down, he found that there were knife-like cracks on his bare arms, and blood began to flow out!

At the same time, the left side of his face was hot, and strange black and red marks appeared on his skin little by little.

Han Liang was shocked, and immediately went back to the city to call the doctor to see him, but the doctor was at a loss as to what kind of disease it was.What's strange is that within three hours after he came back, the terrifying cracks on his body gradually faded away, only the marks on his face remained.

He looked through many ancient books, and finally found out that this is not a disease, but a vicious curse. If you don't know the spell to undo it, then once the cursed person violates the "taboo", he will be cursed back, and he will suffer a life worse than death. pain.

Han Liang's "taboo" is "leave Beihuang by himself" and "let anyone in Beihuang leave Beihuang".

As long as one of the two is violated, his skin will crack again, and he will bleed to death.

And who cast this curse is self-evident—in order to maintain the rule of the upper spirit world, maintain the authority and reputation of his fairy head, and prevent the truth of his framed brother from being revealed, Zhou Ding avenged his brother viciously. Han Liang cast a curse to boil him to death in Beihuang!

As long as Han Liang doesn't want to die, even if he hates Zhou Ding in his heart, he still has to continue to work hard for him, trapping those evil people sent from the upper spirit world in the Northern Wilderness!

Han Liang was extremely sad and indignant. He once thought that he would rather die than not be at Zhou Ding's mercy, but he gradually discovered that the strange marks gradually appeared on the faces of his wife, daughter and son!

It turned out that not only himself, but the entire Han family was cursed by Zhou Ding!

Zhou Ding had already guessed that Han Liang might die, so he acted first, so that even if Han Liang wanted to die, he would have to suffer for his wife and children.

In fact it is.

In order to keep those villains in the territory of the Northern Wilderness, Han Liang never dared to relax his cultivation even though he was old. Over the years, he hardly ever had a good night's sleep.But no matter how cautiously he walked on thin ice, unfortunate things still happened.

"My elder sister, Han Ying, has been in poor health since she was a child, so she was not suitable for cultivation." Han Cheng said, "But for the whole family to live well, she still gets up before dawn every day and practices martial arts with me and my father."

"She often explained to us, saying that it doesn't matter if you can't leave this place for the rest of your life, as long as the family can be reunited together, it is already a very happy and satisfying thing."

Han Cheng's voice began to tremble, "But one night, when my father and I went to the city to deal with a group of thugs hurting people, two masters who had planned for a long time took the opportunity to destroy the defense and wanted to leave Beihuang City at night."

"My sister found out and immediately reported to my father and me, but it was too late. So she chased after them with a sword and stopped those two people..."

Han Cheng, a 1.9-meter-tall man, had bloodshot eyes and hot tears in his eyes at this time, "When my father and I arrived, she was lying on the ground with blood all over her body. But I didn't have time to see us for the last time."

"My mother went crazy since that day, and died of depression three months later. My father also aged rapidly, and he survived for another three years before passing away."

Han Cheng originally wanted to die with him.

Although he used to live a life with his head hanging from his waist, at least he was accompanied by his family; now he is the only one left in the Han family, so what's the point of living?

But before his father died, he held his hand and told him not to die.

"I know my son is very tired and hard...but only by living can there be hope..." Han Liang said to his son with tears, "I don't want your revenge, I just hope that one day you can walk out of this place freely..."

"My son is still young and talented," Han Liang said, "You shouldn't be trapped here."

So Han Cheng survived.

But he couldn't feel the hope that his father said at all. Facing this city every day, what he felt was endless boredom and hatred.

I remember that when he was very young, he also had the same lofty ambitions as his father.He wants to be a super powerful city lord, make all the bad guys afraid of him, transform the bad guys into good guys, let the good guys live and work in peace, and turn Beihuang into a good place not to lose to the upper spirit world.

He wants people to mention the Northern Wilderness, and stop saying with disgust and fear, "Don't go there, there is no good person there."Instead, out of curiosity and kindness, I wanted to see with my own eyes what kind of place it was.

But since my sister was killed and my family members died one by one, this ridiculous ambition has also been wiped out.

He couldn't change Beihuang, and he no longer wanted to make useless efforts. He didn't even bother to take another look at where civilians were killed in Beihuang.

He set up a hidden weapon array and created a powerful war puppet. He only needed to ensure that no one could slip out of the Northern Wilderness under his nose. As for the rest of the time, he basically lived in a daze.

Only occasionally when he was too bored, he would look at the photo stones presented by the people below. Once he saw the legendary No. 1 Shen Budu in it, and a little hope and longing rose in his heart that had not been seen for a long time.

He thought, this person might be the freest person in the world.

If it was this person, he would definitely not be trapped in one place all his life like him.

Shen Budu was silent for a moment, but said: "You are wrong."

"We are the same."

we are the same-

They are all born in shackles, not free, but never give up the pursuit of freedom.
