Night Tales

Chapter 36 Blood Rain

"Axi! Axi!" Luo Ying knocked eagerly on Lu Chengxi's door, but because she knocked harder, the door opened a crack, only to find that the door was not locked.Luo Ying rushed into the room, Lu Chengxi was facing away from him, standing in front of the window, counting something.

"Something happened, something happened!" Lu Chengxi turned around and said to Luo Ying: "Aying, do you know who did the thing when the sun suddenly disappeared yesterday? It was Yi'er who did it, something happened to Yi'er!"

"What? What can happen to her?"

"I don't know. You can see that the thick clouds in the sky are frenzied and the blood is tumbling, which is exactly the same as what was recorded by the reviewer 200 years ago. Who else is not her?"

"Then you go back quickly." With such a big incident, Luo Ying couldn't delay him, so she turned around and left.

"Wait." Lu Chengxi said.

"What's wrong?" Luo Ying turned around.

"You came to me in such a hurry early in the morning, there must be something wrong."

Seeing him ask, Luo Ying said, "I had a nightmare all night. I'm worried that something might happen to Fei'er. If something happens to Fei'er, then Mother and Cicada will..."

"You're right, I was so anxious, I forgot all about it." Lu Chengxi tapped himself on the head: "I did see her soul looking for Tan Xue, but I didn't reply to the letter I sent to Chan."

"What?" Luo Ying seemed to be struck by a thunderbolt suddenly, and stood there blankly digesting Lu Chengxi's words.

"Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"

"Since you don't believe what Dixue says, you will believe what I say?"

"You did it on purpose!" Did you deliberately get angry?

"I went back last night." When Lu Chengxi mentioned the matter of Luo Village, although he still had a smile on his lips, the anger throbbing between his brows told Luo Ying that something serious happened.

"you!"

"Do you want to know who did it?"

"Who?"

"Your father and Li Xuanwei."

"How is it possible, have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"If I had seen it with my own eyes, I would have cut off the heads of those two people long ago. Your mother and Li Xuanwei fought, and the whole village saw it."

"I don't believe it!" Luo Ying shook her head with difficulty, her instinctive trust in family affection prevented her from accepting such a fact.Even though there were all kinds of bad rumors about Luoyang, to her, Luoyang was an impeccable good father.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you. When I went back, I only saw three fresh graves in the courtyard. I will remember your father's hatred, but I will persuade my brother not to involve you. In addition, I advise you, don't go back, The village is now surrounded by the army."

"So where can we go now?"

"Go and find Anian, she should have arrangements." Lu Chengxi glanced at Luoying again, no longer hesitated, and flew out of the window.

Luo Ying still spontaneously stayed in a daze, and came to Xiao Fannian's room.At this moment, Xiao Fannian was lying on the bed, and Di Xue was sleeping soundly in her arms.Xiao Fannian saw Luo Ying and made a "shh" gesture.

Luo Ying walked to Xiao Fannian's side and whispered in her ear, "Something really happened to Xueniang."

"What?" Xiao Fan read, trying to keep herself calm so as not to wake up the child in her arms: "What are you going to do?"

"Tianhe also had an accident. Axi returned to the night realm. You stay here with Dixue and Huan'er. I'll go back and have a look. If I don't return in two days, you take them out of here."

Xiao Fannian grabbed Luo Ying's hand and said, "Don't do anything stupid, Huan'er needs a mother."

Luo Ying nodded solemnly, turned around and left.

After going out, she found her own carriage, untied a horse, and hurried to Luo Village.

Just driving up the road to Luo village, the village chief stopped him by the side of the road.As soon as the village chief saw Luo Ying, he knelt at the horse's feet and kowtowed.

"Second Uncle." Luo Ying hurriedly rolled off the horse and helped the village head up: "Second Uncle, what are you doing, get up quickly."

"Aying, save the people in the village, more than 50 lives are in your hands!"

"Second Uncle, please speak slowly, if Luo Ying can help you, she will definitely die."

"Your father, killed your mother, your sister and your brother-in-law."

"What?" Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what Lu Chengxi said.She didn't believe it then, but now she can't help but not believe it.Luo Ying couldn't help shaking while holding the village chief's hand, she was so shocked in her heart, and the world spun before her eyes.

Mother died, sister died, brother-in-law died, or her own father killed her, what should she do?What can she do.

"Then, what's the situation in the village now?" Luo Ying asked, she felt that the voice was too far away, it didn't seem to come from her own mouth, but when it reached her ears, it was already like the soundless falling snow, Pale and empty, like talking in a dream.

"He left. He wanted to wait for you to go back, but another general came over with a brigade. It seemed that he had set up an eyeliner in the village from the beginning, and waited for your niece to grow up before doing anything. Who Wanting to run into your father and wanting to kill relatives righteously, he came with the army and found an excuse to send your father away. Your father didn't want to offend the government, so he left. Later... Later, the general led people to surround the village, you guys If he doesn't go back within three days, he...he will slaughter the village!" When the village chief said this, two lines of old tears also flowed down.

Luo Ying subconsciously let go of the village chief, walked to the side, stared blankly at a certain place in the void, and her mind was in chaos.

If it was Lu Chengxi, what would he do?

These mortals have nothing to do with him, so he will not care about them.But it has something to do with Luo Ying, these are her relatives, she can't watch a village being massacred, she will feel uneasy.

If it was Xiao Fannian, what would she do?Yes, go back and ask her.Luo Ying turned around and said to the village chief: "Second Uncle, you should go back first. Before tonight, I will go to Luo Village in person and give you an explanation."

"Girl, you...you must come back...you can't just ignore death..."

"I know, I know, you go back first, even if I want to go, you can't stop me!" Luo Ying persuaded the village chief to turn around, and rode back to the town.

Back at the inn, Xiao Fannian was washing Luo Qinghuan's face in the guest room. When Luo Qinghuan saw Luo Ying, she threw herself into her arms and called "Mother".Luo Ying stared blankly at Xiao Fannian, tears fell down.

"Ah... Nian, it's gone, it's gone, Fei'er, Cicada, and Mother... are all dead..."

"What!" Xiao Fannian exclaimed in shock, what surprised her was not the news from Luo Ying's mouth, but Tan Xue behind her, such a small and fragile child, how could she hear it!Xiao Fannian turned around, but Tan Xue was already standing there with a dull expression.Luo Ying realized something in shock, walked around Xiao Fannian, and saw her niece.She was all too familiar with this look. Luo Fei was frightened, and it was just such an expression.

"Tanxue!" Luo Ying rushed over, pressed her tightly into her arms, and cried, "Tanxue, my poor child."

"Who killed it?" Xiao Fannian asked.

"I... my father."

"Is he still there?"

"Not anymore."

"Your father killed your sister and your mother, what should you do?"

"I don't know. I don't know what to do?" Luo Ying suddenly stood up, grabbed Xiao Fannian's arm and said, "Ah Nian... what should I do? There is a general who surrounded the village with an army, and he is going to use a gun Snow in exchange. If you don’t go back for three days, the village will be gone.”

"Do you think the village can be kept if you exchange it with Tanxue?"

"But... I can't just watch a village die like this."

Xiao Fannian was silent for a while, and said: "The goddess who rescued Tan Xue once said that this child is very important, and there should be no mistakes. All I know is that her life is definitely more important than the lives of fifty villagers. , I cannot exchange her. But... I will go and rescue the villagers myself."

"How can you help?"

"Use the sword in my hand. You stay here first, and I will come back when I go." Xiao Fan read, turned to leave, but stopped again.

"Sacrificing a hundred people to save one person, do you think this is right or wrong?"

Luo Ying didn't answer.

"I don't know if my actions are worthy of it." Xiao Fannian said again, striding away.

Careless, careless!In just twenty years, that devil has become so powerful.

Sister, did you do it, did you teach that devil something?

You specially taught her to deal with me, right?Hehe, you are really insidious.

Yes, you are a sinister person.You took advantage of my feelings, played with me, mocked me, and abandoned me; you used intrigues to win the position of Phoenix King, drove me away, chased me down, and made me cornered.

It's all your fault, it's all you!

You are so arrogant, so dignified, and you persecute me like this, what do you gain in the end?That person abandoned you, but you chased after him eagerly, but that person didn't even see you.

Are you strong!Invincible!It is not yet imprisoned in that cold cage to consume your flames.

Are you Phoenix King?Are you so high above you?All the phoenixes in the world are dead, can you still be king?

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness, please see me."

Tian Hou hid her broken hands in her wide sleeves, turned around, turned her back to the door, and said, "Let him in."

"Mother!" The prince rushed in anxiously, "I heard that you were injured."

"Where's your father?"

"I'm monitoring the injury."

"Is the monster still moving?"

"No, I think it's dead. Even if it doesn't die, it should be destroyed."

"Ying'er, let's go." Tian Hou said suddenly.

"Where?"

"Prehistoric. This world has limited resources, and you will have no future in practicing here."

"Where is Honghuang?"

"A place beyond this world."

"Are there any beauties?"

The queen turned around in anger, showing a hollow and ugly look: "I don't know how to live or die, and I still think about women when I am in trouble!" If she hadn't broken her hands at this moment, she would have slapped her.

"Mother..." The prince stretched out his hand, and was about to go up to help.

"Get out, don't touch me!" Tianhou roared, and the prince stopped resentfully.

"Yedi has returned. To tell you the truth, if you fall into her hands, I can't guarantee that you will still be alive."

"Then...then why don't I just wander around in the Mortal Realm at night?"

"I don't know how to live or die! Ben Gong asks you, will you go or not?"

"I...I think about it."

"Trash, get out!" Tianhou scolded.

"Don't be angry, queen mother, I'll go, can't I go!"

Outside Luo Village, in front of the army formation, a woman in plain clothes came walking.The woman was tall, with a beautiful face and bright eyes.Although his expression is serious, his movements are slow.If it weren't for the simple and powerful sword in her hand, people would think that she just came to the entrance of the village to play.

The woman continued to move forward, and a soldier stopped her: "Stop, this is not the place for you."

"I am from this village, let me in."

The soldier turned his head and glanced at himself, and the corporal leader stepped forward, holding a gun to press her down, and said: "I think your background is suspicious, go, take you to see the general. Give me the sword."

"You are not qualified to touch it." Xiao Fannian said, the corporal leader had already stretched out his hand to snatch it. As soon as he touched the hilt, the corporal leader's body flew back as if touched by a strange force, and his hand exploded.

"Kill...kill her!" The corporal commander ordered, several soldiers raised their guns and rushed forward, Xiao Fannian turned the long sword, and several soldiers fell to the ground in response.

"Leave here, whoever comes will die." Xiao Fannian said coldly.This sentence didn't work, and more soldiers rushed up.Xiao Fannian made the formula with one hand and swung the sword with the other. She just stood there, and the soldiers who rushed over fell to the ground one by one.When the third wave of attack was also ineffective, those soldiers stopped acting rashly and surrounded Xiao Fannian like chasing a beast.

The herald ran off quickly to tell the general.

After about a moment, a tall horse carried an imposing general to the back of the encirclement, looking down at Xiao Fannian who was not far away.

"Who is here?" the general asked.

"Leave the village, or I will let your entire army be buried here."

"Hahahaha, the little girl is so loud. This general wants to see how capable you are. Take her down for me!"

"You are mere mortals. There are less than [-] soldiers here. In front of me, you are nothing more than an egg hitting a rock. I advise you to give up." Xiao Fan read.

"What's your background?"

"What do you mean?"

"Give it to me!" The general waved his hand.Immediately, an adjutant ordered: "Shoot the arrow!"

Arrows flew towards Xiao Fannian densely, Xiao Fannian did not dodge or dodge, those arrows hit her and fell like hitting a copper wall.The soldiers were all dumbfounded.

"Get everyone out of the house." The general ordered again.

Xiao Fan thought a little, flew onto the general's horse, put the blade of the sword on the general's neck, and shouted: "Who dares!"

Before the general saw Xiao Fannian's movements clearly, he felt a chill on his neck and back.Is this person really human?How can a person have such great ability, it is simply... a monster.

"If I only let you withdraw, after you leave, I will definitely send more people to besiege the village. For now, I have to kill you. This turmoil will temporarily subside."

"Wait a minute...women...wait..." Before he finished speaking, his head had moved and rolled to the ground.

Xiao Fannian flew down from his horse, and all the surrounding soldiers retreated.

"Get out!" Xiao Fannian's voice did not carry any warmth.Those soldiers you look at me, I look at you.As soon as the general died, the adjutant didn't want to put his life on the line, and ordered: "Retreat." Those soldiers retreated quickly, writing a letter in their hands, as if they were receiving an amnesty.

Xiao Fannian didn't chase after him, and walked to Luo Ying's house after the officers and soldiers withdrew.

There were three fresh soil bags in the yard, blood was everywhere in the house, the furnishings were crumbling, Luo Fei's bed was still in a mess, but there was no warmth anymore.Xiao Fannian withdrew, went to the village chief's house, and told them to move out as soon as possible. However, the family's rural situation was serious, and they would rather die than leave. Xiao Fannian had to persuade them that even if they didn't want to leave, they should mobilize the village. people. The lives of more than 50 people staying here are in danger at any time.The village chief agreed and sent Xiao Fannian away.

When Xiao Fannian returned to the inn, Luo Ying was anxiously waiting for her.After roughly talking about what happened, Luo Ying said in surprise: "A Nian, I found that your ability is higher than that of Ah Xi."

Xiao Fannian was taken aback for a moment, and said: "After all, he is so many years older than him. And Ah Xi is an all-rounder, I can't compare to him."

"What should we do now, where should we go? We can't stay in this inn all the time, can we?"

Xiao Fan read: "I have thought about it. Although I have some abilities, my ability is limited after all. With Qianjun sword in hand, it will lead to greater disasters. Now there are three options: the first one is to go overseas , to find the goddess who rescued Tanxue; second, to hand over Tanxue to Lu Chengxi, after all her grandparents are still in the night realm, and she will be much safer in the night realm than in the ordinary realm; third, Follow me back to the West Neighborhood."

Xiao Fannian asked, "Which path do you prefer?"

"West Neighbor? Is that where the gods were born?" Luo Ying asked.

"Well. Xilin originally lived in the gods who delivered the births of the queens of the past, but the real gods have perished, and Xilin developed on its own. My master is also an emperor, but he has never been out of Xilin."

"Night Realm." Luo Ying said.

"Okay, let's go to the night realm. How is the snow?"

Luo Ying shook her head, turned around, first wrote a letter to Lu Chengxi, then rearranged the carriage, and the two women and two children started on the road.

Just after leaving the town, the sky began to rain blood.The two horses didn't move for a long time before they lay flat on the ground.A large number of people fell down on the side of the road, some of them were lifeless, and some were rolling on the ground.Their clothes festered and their skins rotted.The grass and trees on the side of the road began to turn black, and the ground was washed out by the bright red rain.

People are saying everywhere: "The sky is leaking, it's leaking here."

Several people hid in the carriage and dared not go out.Soon after, the carriage began to make a rotting sound of "creaking".Xiao Fannian stood the sword inside the carriage, and a burst of sword energy covered the carriage. The rain could not hit the carriage, but it sprinkled not big or small waterfalls on all sides of the carriage.

Luo Qinghuan hid in Luo Ying's arms in fear, and Luo Ying patted her daughter with tears.Tanxue was indifferent to what was happening around her, and stared blankly at something.

"Your sword is very powerful, why don't you cover more range?" Luo Ying asked.

"I protected this land, and the rain will go elsewhere. It will suffer where it shouldn't."

"Hey!" Luo Ying sighed helplessly, hugging her daughter even tighter.

Xiao Fannian held Tanxue in his arms with distress, and comforted her softly.

How long it will rain, no one knows.

Several people ate some dry food casually, and still sat in the car and waited.

After two days, the rain finally stopped.There were no other living people on the road anymore, scattered bones lined up on both sides of the road, and the rainwater on the ground merged into a river and parted at the wheels.Luo Ying took out thick clothes and shoes, and wrapped them up tightly and got out of the carriage.There are no more cars, and the road still has to go on.

The two adults each held a child, performed lightness kung fu, and left the place as quickly as possible, crossed two rivers, and passed through two towns before leaving the place of Tianlou.Xiao Fan thought it was okay, Luo Ying held on to a tree and kept panting.There is no way for her to bring a child to the night realm by flying lightly, at least she needs to ride a horse.The two discussed, followed the crowd to the nearest town, and arranged for two horses to go on their way.

The moon set late today, and it was still hanging in the sky in the middle of the night.When Lu Chengxi returned to the heavenly steps, the cold air kept pouring into her limbs and veins.

Didn't come back, where is she?

under the tree? "Yi'er?" Lu Chengxi called out uncertainly.

The people under the tree were hidden in the trance mist, they were all in pitch black and couldn't see clearly.

"Yi'er never wears black clothes." Lu Chengxi thought to himself.He stepped forward, trying to see the man's face clearly.

The man under the tree turned around, the strange face was very serious, and he didn't know what a smile was.

She is majestic and majestic, not to be stared at.Looking up and sweeping, it is like mountains pressing down on the top, which makes people feel unbearable.

Lu Chengxi called again in an uncertain tone: "Ye...Yedi?"
