"Now that the matter is over, I will do as you wish."
After the young man said these words slightly sadly, he didn't know when there was a mahogany dagger in his hand. The texture was as rough as a child's toy.
Looking at the peach wood sword in the young man's hand, Xi Feng's pupils suddenly shrank, and his memory seemed to return to the distant Lich Era.
…
On that day, the wife of Yi Tianxing, the leader of the Chishui tribe of the Wu tribe, gave birth to two baby boys. The elder brother was named "Xingtian" and the younger brother was named "Houyi".
The eldest son, Xing Tian, was strong and strong, and could stand and walk from birth. His witch blood was pure, and Yi Tian Xing was very happy.
In comparison, the youngest son Hou Yi was thin and had a crescent-shaped black line between his eyebrows when he was born.
At that time, all the shaman tribes used the sun as their totem, and the moon decoration was regarded as an ominous sign.
Most of the tribesmen also regarded Hou Yi as an unlucky son, and the leader Yi Tianxing could not tolerate the fact that he had given birth to a heretic with an ominous connotation. In order to prevent the tribe from being affected, he publicly stated that he would kill his youngest son Hou Yi himself.
After Yi Tianxing's wife learned of this, she threatened her with death. Only then did she stop Yi Tianxing's crazy act of killing his son, and allowed Hou Yi, who was still a baby, to escape.
Although he escaped, the treatment of his elder brother Xingtian and his younger brother Houyi were very different from then on.
Hou Yi was imprisoned like a pig or dog since he was a child. He only had his servants bring him food every day and barely survived starvation.
The tribesmen regarded him as a heretic and a scourge, and scorned him. Young children even took pleasure in beating Hou Yi to death.
Even the servants at home looked down upon Hou Yi and would occasionally spit in their meals, insulting and teasing the son of the tribal leader like a pig or a dog.
Hou Yi was kind-hearted by nature. Even though he lived in such a twisted and cruel environment since childhood, he never lost his kind nature. Faced with all kinds of abuse, whippings, and insults, he never resisted, but just endured it silently, occasionally showing an innocent giggle.
.
His mother couldn't bear it, and would occasionally take advantage of the fact that Hou Yi was not at home to secretly release Hou Yi from the cage, bring him delicious food, and wipe his wounds.
Hou Yi was treated like a pig and dog since he was a child, so much so that he could not speak at the age of six. The tribesmen thought he was born deaf and mute, and even more scorned him.
At the end of his sixth year, Yi Tianxing found out that his wife was teaching Houyi how to read while he was out, so he whipped his wife severely in anger.
The young Hou Yi desperately stood in front of his mother, willing to endure his father's whipping, and said his first words since his birth: "Father, don't hit mother, just hit me!"
Yi Tianxing had never spoken to Hou Yi before, but the first sentence Hou Yi uttered was extremely fluent. In addition, he was bruised and bruised trying to protect his mother. Yi Tianxing couldn't help but feel a trace of compassion in his heart, and he was no longer imprisoned.
Hou Yi asked his mother to discipline him. If the discipline was not good, he would still kill this unknown son himself!
Since then, Hou Yi, who had been imprisoned and raised as a beast, gained freedom for the first time in his life.
His mother taught him literacy and some basic principles of life. Hou Yi understood quickly and gradually understood the world.
Although his mother could teach Hou Yi many things, she was not allowed to teach him anything except cultivation.
The main reason is that Yi Tianxing felt from the bottom of his heart that Hou Yi was a heretic of the ethnic group. If he acquired magical powers, there was no guarantee that he would not harm the Chishui tribe in the future.
Although he could not get rid of the practice, Hou Yi was still very satisfied and was not interested in the practice.
He is too kind-hearted by nature, and suffered too much abuse when he was young, and he is very repulsive to killing.
Compared with Hou Yi's tragic experience, Xing Tian simply lived in paradise.
Yi Tianxing tried his best to train his eldest son Xingtian, hoping that Xingtian would one day inherit his skills and become the next leader of the Chishui tribe.
However, Xing Tian lived up to expectations. With his extraordinary talents, he became an immortal at the age of seven and became a role model for the younger generation of the tribe to respect and learn from.
Because of his father's discrimination and hiding, Xing Tian has never seen his younger brother since he was born.
But by chance, he had the opportunity to practice his magical powers on the edge of a cliff, and met Hou Yi, who was brought along by his mother to collect spiritual herbs.
Since there was a barrier set up by the Chishui tribe around the cliff and there was no danger, the mother let Hou Yi play by himself.
It was during this gap that Hou Yi was lucky enough to foresee his brother, who had never seen his true appearance.
The two hit it off immediately, and the innocent Hou Yi naturally admired his brother.
At that time, the young Xing Tian had a sense of justice and was very sympathetic to his brother's plight. He only felt that his brother was very pitiful and took the initiative to protect him in the future and not let any tribesmen bully Hou Yi.
Hou Yi was very moved and respected his brother as a god.
Xing Tian saw that Hou Yi had no cultivation, so he decided to teach him some simple cultivation methods privately, so that his poor brother could also protect himself.
Since his father, Yi Tianxing, loved him so much, even if his father found out that he had secretly taught his younger brother magical powers, he probably wouldn't do anything to him.
After having this idea, Xing Tian took the initiative to teach Hou Yi how to practice.
Unexpectedly, Hou Yi had no interest in cultivation. He hated fighting and killing.
Xing Tian was not serious and told Hou Yi some news that he had never heard before.
During the Lich Age at that time, the demon clan's forces were on the rise, and they were on par with the witch clan. With the speed of expansion of the demon clan's power, sooner or later, they would have a decisive battle with the witch clan.
Xing Tian accused Hou Yi face to face that he had a kind heart but could not help anyone. If he was still so helpless by then, he would become a burden to the Chishui tribe.
The young Hou Yi felt shocked and self-blame for the first time in his life. He was deeply moved by Xing Tian's words and felt that he could not be a burden to others.
If the demon clan really threatens the Chishui tribe, I will risk my life to protect my mother!
With this idea in mind, Hou Yi accepted his brother's teachings.
Xing Tian didn't have much time to teach Hou Yi at that time. He only taught Hou Yi some simple breathing and breathing skills, and then he burned a copy of the various mental skills and magical powers he had cultivated and gave them all to Hou Yi.
Out of his trust in his younger brother and his enthusiasm as a child, Xing Tian had almost no reservations. The mental and magical powers he gave to Hou Yi were also obtained from his father. The magical powers recorded above were enough for him to practice to adulthood.
Luo Jinxian!
The main reason was that the young Xing Tian felt that his cultivation time was too tight and he had almost no chance to meet Hou Yi, so he simply gave the inherited magical powers he had received from his father to his younger brother first, so that he could kill them first and then report them later.
Xing Tian suggested that one year later, they would come to this cliff to meet again, and he would check Hou Yi's progress in cultivation in person.
Although he said this, Xing Tian didn't have much expectations in his heart at all. He didn't think Hou Yi could really do anything. He only hoped that the magical powers of breathing and breathing in and out of Qi that he taught his brother could help him to strengthen his body.
However, it was this agreement that became the beginning of Xingtian's nightmare.
