Lei Zi carried me on his back and rushed out of Shuipu Village in one breath.

The mountain temple was getting farther and farther behind me, and the roar of the corpse gradually disappeared until it was completely lost.

According to Hechen Shiba's prior agreement, we arrived at the first mountain after leaving the village.

Looking back at Shuipu Village from the mountain, the village was pitch black and a few ignitions could be seen. It was a bonfire burning in the mountain temple.

Before Chen Shiba arrived, Leizi and I were covered with a shadow in our hearts.

Chen Shiba sacrificed himself to lead the corpse group for us, I hope he will never have any accidents.

Running along the way, carrying hundreds of pounds of living people, Lei Zi was so tired that he was panting. His entire vest was soaked in sweat, and he kept dripping water down.

"Let's take a break and wait for Eighteenth Brother. I believe he will come!" I said.

Lei Zi nodded and put me down.

The mountains and forests were dark, and occasionally a bird's cry came, adding a hint of dead silence.

I leaned against the trunk of a tree, closed my eyes, and the scene of my parents being killed was flashing repeatedly in front of me: the claws of the ancestor of the Gu Sect were inserted into their heads, then lifted their heads away, blood soared into the sky, and the bodies of the two rolled and fell from the roof...

"Dad! Mom!"

I suddenly opened my eyes, gasped quickly, my head and face covered with sweat.

The scene of my parents being killed is vivid in my mind, and may become a nightmare that I will never forget in my life.

"Jiujizi, are you okay? Jiujizi!" Hearing my shouts, Leizi hurried over.

I waved my hand and sighed: "It's okay! I'm just... too nervous..."

Lei Zi sighed and reached out and pressed his hand on my shoulder: "Jiujizi, I can understand your mood! We are brothers, your parents are my parents, I am as uncomfortable and painful as you now! But the more uncomfortable and painful we feel, the more we must live bravely and strongly. Only in this way can we avenge our parents!"

I wiped the cold sweat from my face, bit my lips and nodded, and my eyes became extremely firm: "Thank you, Lei Zi, I understand what to do! One day, I will kill the ancestor of the Gu Sect with my hands to avenge my father and mother, and those innocent villagers!"

Lei Zi suddenly pointed at the woods ahead: "Oh, look, it seems that the eighteenth brother is here!"

I stared at the sight of a chubby figure as fast as lightning, speeding in the woods. The person coming was Chen Shiba.

Chen Shiba came to us and exhaled a breath of turbid air: "How are you?"

"We're okay! Where are you?" I looked at Chen Shiba and found that his Taoist robe was a little damaged, stains on his face mixed with sweat, and his hat was crooked, looking a little embarrassed.

Chen Shiba rubbed his nose: "Me? Of course I'm fine! How could those zombies stop me?"

Although Chen Shiba said nothing on the surface, I know that he must have experienced some twists and turns before he could escape from danger.

Since Chen Shiba didn't want to reveal the details, I didn't ask more questions. Anyway, I was able to escape from Shuipu Village alive, which was the best thing.

"Let's go!" Chen Shiba said.

"Don't you need to take a break?" Leizi asked.

Chen Shiba shook his head: "Don't look at me as fat, I'm in good health!"

I finally looked back at the village at the foot of the mountain. The only few flames left had been extinguished, and the whole village was dark and silent.

Goodbye, Shuipu Village!

Goodbye, my fellow villagers!

Goodbye, my twenty years of memory!

I knelt down in the direction of Shuipu Village and respectfully bowed three respectfully to Shuipu Village.

Although I deeply love this land that gave birth to me and raised me, now, I have to leave.

The sorrow of being forced to leave the hometown is really hard to express in words. It tastes like drinking a cup of bitter coffee, with a bitter taste all over your mouth and it will not go away for a long time.

I knelt on the ground and didn't want to get up for a long time.

Chen Shiba and Leizi stood behind me, neither of them spoke, they understood my mood.

After years of going, I may never come back.

Goodbye to carry my homeland for twenty years!

I knelt for almost half an hour, and until my legs were numb, I stood up tremblingly.

At some point, two lines of clear tears had already blurred their eyes and slowly rolled down their cheeks.

The night wind blew on my face, drying my tears, and it was cold.

I suddenly felt extremely lonely, and felt like I had become an orphan overnight, without a home or support. From then on, I was like a duckweed, floating alone in this vast river and lake.

But it is precisely because of this loneliness that I have grown ten years old overnight, and I have strengthened my courage to live.

I secretly swore in my heart: "I will break through all difficulties and obstacles and live bravely! Ten, twenty, or even hundreds of years, there will definitely be legends about Xiao Jiu in the world!"

"Let's go!"

I sighed and turned around and walked first, and my lonely back sank into the mountains.

Chen Shiba and Leizi sighed and followed me.

No words all night.

The three of us walked through the mountains and forests until dawn.

I could hear the sound of gurgling water in my ears, and a mountain stream appeared in front of me.

Chen Shiba suggested: "Let's go to the stream to wash your face, rest for a while before leaving. I've been struggling all night, and I'm a little floating when I walk!"

Lei Zi nodded in agreement: "Yes, let's go and wash up, and then find some wild game to fill your stomach!"

We walked to the stream. The water was clear and a little cool, but it had not been polluted and was very thorough.

We squatted down and poured a lot of stream water into our stomachs. We returned to our mouths and soaked our spleen with sweetness and refreshing feeling that we washed away the wind and frost on the road and the fatigue of our bodies. The flame in our hearts was also gradually extinguished under the cool stream water, and our whole mood became much calmer and more stable.

I picked up the stream water, washed my face, and wiped away the tears and stains on my face.

When I looked down at the water, I couldn't help but be stunned.

My reflection swayed on the water surface. In an instant, I was a little dazed. Who is this person in the water? Is it me? Is it Xiao Jiu?

I rubbed my eyes, feeling a little disbelief.

Although I knew last night that I was in sadness and anger and instantly gray hair, I had never seen myself from beginning to end, so I didn’t know what my white hair looked like.

Now that I suddenly saw what I am now, I was still a little unfamiliar with my brain circuits yet to turn, as if I was looking at a completely unfamiliar stranger.

Because I have been wandering outside for many years and have not cut my hair, my hair is a little longer. After my hair is covered with white hair, I feel like I have become much older, but I also feel more heroic and full of ancient heroes. My whole body becomes more masculine and more tough and upright, especially the outline of my cheeks, the lines are harder, just like a knife carved.

I am quite handsome in my life, but because I don’t pay much attention to dressing up, I always look like a loser. However, this white hair not only did not drag down my appearance, but instead added me an idol temperament. To be honest, it was more handsome than before.

The hair is as sad as snow, the parting is so sad that it touches who burns the incense?

It was like snow, with tears flying, waiting for someone to grow old.

"Hello, Xiao Jiu!"

In my heart, I silently asked the reflection in the water.

This is the brand new Xiao Jiu.

Starting today, I will also start a new life.

The first twenty years Xiao Jiu has become a thing of the past, and the real Xiao Jiu, starts from now on!

After washing up, Leizi volunteered to go to play wild game. Chen Shiba and I set up a bonfire and rested by the stream.

Lei Zi has liked running around the mountains since he was a child. Playing wild game is his strength. Chen Shiba and I were happy to be idle, baking the fire while baking clothes.

"What is this white cloth?" I asked, pointing to a piece of white cloth on the branch. The white cloth was like a sail, and when the wind blew, it swelled.

"That's my underwear!" Chen Shiba said.

"Your panties? Such a big one?" I opened my mouth wide in surprise.

Chen Shiba smiled and said, "Breathable! Breathable! And, you don't know the big trouble!"

"A big trouble?! It's so shameless!" I curled my lips and fiddled with the bonfire.

Chen Shiba took off his underwear, fumbled in the Taoist robe with both hands for a while, put the underwear on, then lay down beside the fire, holding a dead grass in his mouth, crossing his legs, and shaking his head and looking at the blue sky: "Jiujizi, ask you something!"

"You said!" I nodded.

Chen Shiba spit out the dead grass: "Your body seems to have undergone some unusual changes after your gray hair last night..."

"Yes!" I nodded without comment.

Since last night, I have regarded Chen Shiba as my brother of life and death, so I have not concealed anything from him.

I shrugged: "I don't know what's going on. It may be because of practicing Zhuyou's technique. As my cultivation level improves, I find that my body is constantly changing, becoming more and more... sometimes I'll be crazy... very manic... I feel a little lost in human nature!"

"Zhu Youzhi Art?" Chen Shiba narrowed his eyes.

"Well, a kind of cultivation method of our master!" I said.

Chen Shiba pulled off a dead grass again and stuffed it into his mouth, pondering, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Since this technique of Zhuyou will cause you... to make strange changes... have you ever thought of stopping your practice?" Chen Shiba asked.

"No! I won't stop practicing!" I answered decisively.

"Are you afraid... one day... you can't control yourself?" Chen Shiba turned over and sat up, with a serious expression.
Chapter completed!
