Volume 1: Looking Northwest, Shooting the Sirius Chapter 46: Mo Niang Bi Lao
"...do it!"
The old man whose chest was pressed against his chest suddenly grinned, revealing a mouth full of black and yellow teeth. He grabbed the blade of the sword with both hands and refused to let go even as blood surged from both palms.
Several other old men took out daggers from their arms and rushed towards Chaitino with gritted teeth.
"Buzz~~~!"
Daheng suddenly drew a big circle in the air, and several old people froze at the same time. Then blood spurted out from their necks, and the old heads fell to the ground one after another.
"How can my knife be clamped with both hands?"
Chai Tiannuo looked at the fingers scattered on the ground and couldn't help but snorted. Then he took out a clean sheet of paper and carefully wiped the blade of the knife.
He got this in exchange for the heads of all the steppe Tatars.
The mountain chief said that this was a first-class weapon of the Ministry of War. If Chai Tiannuo had not had military merit, it would have cost at least 500 taels of silver to buy it.
"An object worth five hundred taels of silver is sharp!"
Chaitino nodded, jumped up to the wall, climbed to the roof in twos and twos, stepped on the eaves and ran to other places.
"Right here, young, is definitely a good introduction!"
The old man who had just left came with a dozen men holding scratch hook spears. When he saw the corpses on the ground, he immediately froze. Human?
Chaitino avoided the intruder and rushed towards the area where the general screamed.
"What's this?!"
Looking at the scene in front of him, Chai Tiannuo felt chills in his heart.
Going around the house, there is a large flat white field behind.
There were mummies piled around the white dusty ground, and a huge talisman was drawn in the middle. A woman with wide eyes was lying on the talisman, with a big bloody hole in her abdomen.
Chaitino gritted his teeth and walked slowly to the woman's side. He found that her hands were nailed to the ground, there were deep wounds on her wrists, and the blood had drained out.
A vague silhouette floated up from the corpse. Chai Tiannuo couldn't help but widen his eyes. The woman was not a celestial being. How could he see her soul?
"my child."
An almost inaudible sound sounded, which ordinary people could not hear at all, but Chaitino heard it.
"...I will go find him and come back. Even if he is dead, I want you two to be reunited!"
"Thanks."
The lone shadow flew up, shattered in the air, and turned into raindrops scattered on the ground.
Chai Tiannuo took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards where he came from. Anyone who had a disembowelment to take the child would be killed without mercy!
"That's that guy, kill him!"
Seeing Chaitino appear, the old man immediately jumped to his feet and roared, and the men with weapons in their hands immediately rushed over.
Chai Tiannuo held the knife in both hands, tapped the tip of the knife three times, and suddenly rushed out!
His internal energy surged wildly, his body turned into a shadow, and he rushed into the crowd in an instant, with a four-foot horizontal slash, and half of his body suddenly fell to the ground.
Moving half a step to the side, the large horizontal blade reversed, and Chaitino followed up with a lift. The man holding the hook in his hand screamed loudly, and half of his head flew up with his head on his shoulders.
Before the head fell to the ground, Chaitino was chopping again, cutting the man with a spear in one hand into two!
"哐~"
The head and body fell to the ground at the same time, blood and internal organs splashed out, dyeing the narrow dirt road a dark red color.
In just one breath, three people died. The men screamed in fear, turned around and tried to escape.
After dancing with a knife to shake off the blood on the blade, Chaitino grinned:
"You can't run away."
After drinking tea, the old man squatting on the ground looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. There was no one alive except himself, and there were broken corpses everywhere.
After taking Shengxuan and wiping away the blood, Chai Tiannuo sheathed the knife, squatted in front of the old man, and said with deep eyes:
"I ask you to answer. If you make a mistake, someone will tear off one of your fingers. If you tear off all the fingers, someone will tear off your limbs."
"Sir, spare my life~!"
The old man fell to the ground and cried loudly. Chaitino grabbed his neck and asked in a cold voice:
"Where is this?"
"Peach, Peach Blossom Land."
"Peach Blossom Spring is really a good name. Why is it called Peach Blossom Spring?"
Chaitino snorted coldly and continued to ask.
"Because, because our village lives in a peach blossom fairyland."
In the peach blossom wonderland, Chai Tiannuo's heart was suddenly shocked and he hurriedly asked:
"But a land full of peach trees and an unusually clear river flowing through it?"
"Sir, have you been to Peach Blossom Wonderland?"
The old man's eyes widened and he asked excitedly.
"Before I came to you, I passed through a beautiful peach forest."
"Just like what they said, the Peach Blossom Wonderland has really opened again..."
With his hands clasped together, the old man muttered words with complex expressions on his face.
"Tell me about the origins of your village and Peach Blossom Wonderland."
Chai Tiannuo asked directly to the core. The old man's lips trembled for a long time, sighed, and talked about the origin of Peach Blossom Wonderland and Peach Blossom Spring.
Many years ago, a certain place was hit by a natural disaster and countless people died of starvation. The ancestors of Taohuayuan fled to the capital in search of a way to survive.
On the way, they encountered a dying Taoist priest and his disciples, and rescued them even though they themselves had no food to eat.
When traveling to Zhili, bandits were killing people. The Taoist revealed his true identity and saved the ancestors in Peach Blossom Spring. They never thought that he was actually an immortal.
In gratitude for the kindness of the ancestors, the immortal waved his hand to open the peach blossom fairyland, allowing everyone to live in it, and then left.
For hundreds of years, the people of Peach Blossom Spring lived leisurely in the fairyland. Until fifty years ago, a meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the fairyland, and the people of Peach Blossom Spring were instantly moved out.
Since then, no one from Taohuayuan has entered it.
"The people of Zhili were wiped out in the Battle of Zhilong. How did you survive?"
"The Immortal left a legacy, and the Peach Blossom Spring can be hidden or reappeared with the help of talismans."
"Why kill?"
Chaitino's voice was even colder. The old man was silent for a long time and said in a low voice:
"...to survive."
"What's the meaning?"
Chaitino frowned, and the old man said in a dry voice:
"Since leaving the Peach Blossom Wonderland, the people in the Peach Blossom Land need to eat flesh and blood every few days, otherwise they will age rapidly and even die."
"If you want to survive, you have to act like this."
Chaitino couldn't help but take a breath when he looked at the old man. Can they still be considered human beings?
"Where is the baby that was taken out?"
"The village chief took him away to help Shilong Shanyu's envoy find the entrance to the Peach Blossom Wonderland."
"If it's not impossible to enter, why are you looking for the entrance to the fairyland?"
Chaitino frowned, there was something wrong with what the old guy said, it didn't match up.
"Originally it was impossible to get in, but several shamans from the grassland said that some time ago, a sacred object dropped from Yule Tian, which happened to pass through the Peach Blossom Fairyland, so it can be opened with the method of blood sacrifice."
After hearing this, Chai Tiannuo's face tightened slightly, but another thought came to his mind: why did he enter the peach blossom fairyland without using any means?
Is it possible that there are opportunities of their own there?
"Take me to them!"
Chaitino pulled the old man up, and the old man nodded, turned and walked towards the river.
The two of them walked along the river. Chaitino couldn't help but frowned when he looked at the silent old man. He was too honest. In fact, there were some things that he couldn't notice even if he didn't say anything.
"Old man, why are you so honest when you talk to me?"
"To tell you what, sir, although I have been buried in the earth, I still want to linger on for a few more years."
