Chapter 275 Burning the sun and destroying the city
The reason why Xiao and Bai were so tense after Sun Huo left was because the Xiao family not only lost the bargaining chip of Xiao Feng last night, but also suffered another heavy loss.
In order to prevent the other three families from getting involved in Xiao Feng's bargaining chip, the Xiao family had already laid out suspicions in advance, pretending that he was still living in their old house. Sure enough, after meeting in the tavern during the day, the Bai family quickly tracked down the place and also opened the door.
The idea came up to rob people at night. So that night, the men of the two secular families had a rare fight in Xiao Feng's old house. Both sides suffered many casualties. Although Xiao and Bai did not show up to fight directly, they left behind
Supervise the battle in the dark and contain each other.
But Xiaozhuang never thought that all the arrangements he had made before would end up in vain. What is regrettable is that Xiao Feng has disappeared, and his life and death are unknown. Judging from the damage in the house and the blood stains left on the ground, it seems that there is something sinister.
What's more, not only that, the guards who were guarding were all killed, and there was no way to know the specific situation that night. Moreover, several people died in different ways, including heart-breaking palms, throat-cutting swords, and soul-breaking poisons.
It's like several martial arts masters were dispatched at the same time. All these factors make the current search for Xiao Feng's whereabouts very confusing and difficult to start.
All of this was completely unknown to Sun Huo, who was on his way in a hurry. Because he had a mission to leave the sect this time, and there were many twists and turns on the way, he had not thought about returning to his hometown. At this moment, he suddenly changed from
Xiaozhuang heard the news of the severe drought, and the loss of his brother and friend became even more confusing. The scenes of the secular life in the past flashed through his mind like a tide, making Sun Huo worried about the current situation of his hometown and wishing he could be in the green world right away.
What can be done in the stone city? After flying far enough out of Xianlai City, he no longer covered his body and walked away as fast as lightning.
...Three days later, the outer suburbs of Greenstone City.
The blazing sun hangs high, and there are no clouds in the sky. As far as the eye can see, nine out of ten rooms are empty. The houses are all in dilapidated condition. There are few voices, only the whispers of the wind. The rotten trees stand sparsely, the withered skin is mottled, and the dry soil is cracked.
Without green leaves, it is like purgatory coming to the world.
On the path of the village, a tall man wearing a green bamboo hat was walking slowly. He was so lonely that it was a bit weird. Suddenly, he heard a child's whisper in the distance. He was slightly startled, and then he quickly followed the trail without hesitation.
.After turning several corners and forks, I quickly found the source of the sound.
I saw two children in ragged clothes, a boy and a girl, huddled and squatting at the door of a dilapidated hut. The girl was older and looked to be no more than seven or eight years old, while the younger boy looked like he was only five or six years old. He was very skinny.
There are bloody cuts on the lips.
"Eat, eat quickly!"
In her thin hands, the girl tightly grasped a piece of plant tuber dug out from nowhere. It was shriveled and stained with a lot of mud. She handed it to the boy beside her tremblingly and whispered persuasion.
The boy stretched out his hand to take it, and took two big bites. Before sucking any juice, his vision suddenly went dark, and a tall, strange man came to him like a ghost, his eyes staring straight at him.
Looking down.
"Sister!" the boy exclaimed in surprise, his voice as soft as a cat's meow. The two children stood up unsteadily. The girl grabbed the tuber with one hand and held it tightly to her chest. She held the boy behind her with the other hand, panicking.
The color is all over the face.
Seeing the strange man raising his hand without saying a word, the two children stepped back in fear and tried to dodge, but the earth wall behind them blocked their steps.
What happened next, the frightened eyes of the two children first became confused, and soon their faces were full of disbelief. Suddenly, a drop of water appeared in the palm of the strange man, and it rolled and grew bigger, until there was
The water polo was the size of a fist. It fell down, but was caught firmly by a porcelain bowl that the man took out from nowhere. He leaned down and handed it to him. The bowl was as white as snow, and the water was sparkling, which meant it was cool.
Overflowing.
"Water! There is water!" The boy suddenly grabbed it from behind the girl, grabbed the edge of the bowl with both hands, buried his head and drank gurglingly.
"Slow down, don't choke." The man finally said. When he heard this, the tuber in the girl's hand, which did not move rashly, fell to the ground with a "pop", and tears appeared in the corners of her eyes.
After a while, a black shadow rose into the sky, and soon turned into a small black dot, gradually disappearing. Below it, in front of the door of the broken house where the two children were hiding, there was a simple long stone trough, inside
It was full of clear water and was swaying gently. The girl held the boy in one hand and held a small white bottle tightly in the other. Their faces were two points more lively than before, and they were looking at each other blankly.
The horizon where men leave.
...At the same time, at the gate of Greenstone City, a group of people was slowly walking out. The people in the group were wearing red and green, beating gongs and drums, and looked very lively. It looked like a wealthy family.
My daughter is coming out of the cabinet today.
It's just that both sides of the official road are bare and barren, and there is no trace of blue, but there are many civilians standing around. Although there are many people, there are few whispers. They all look at the wedding procession and look forward to something. It is very quiet.
Weird.
...Half a day later, above the Green Stone City, Sun Huo stepped on the disc magic weapon and looked at the situation in the city. It was depressed, deserted, and lifeless. It was completely different from the lively market in his memory. There were no people coming or going in the past.
Instead, there were vague figures lying in some remote corners of the streets, their life or death unknown. Even those people sitting leaning on the doors of their homes were all withered and bone-like, their eyes looking up at the sky with hollow eyes.
He had never seen such a tragic drought in his life, which really frightened him. His hometown was suffering from such a natural disaster, but he was unaware of it and failed to contribute as soon as possible to save more people. If his hometown was like this
If you don’t survive, what will happen in the future = If you have the courage to claim your origin in front of others, when you wake up from a dream in the middle of the night, you will be like a wandering ghost with no destination to go to.

After being lost for a long time, Sun Huo finally came to his senses, identified a direction and rushed straight down into the city.
In just a moment, Sun Huo arrived at the Li Mansion with his weapon. Although the courtyard was there, it also showed a somewhat defeated appearance due to the severe drought. Although he did not scan the whole scene carefully with his spiritual mind, he could feel it roughly.
He was still able to detect the presence of a lot of strangers in it, which made him feel a little relieved. Although he was relieved of his previous worry that Jiuyuan would move to another place to avoid trouble and that he would not be able to find familiar people to help him, Sun Huoxin
I also have a little doubt as to why Li Yan would make such an unreasonable and unwise decision.
Instead of waiting for the announcement from the servants before entering through the front door as usual, he just jumped down from the air. Amidst the "bang" sound, the bluestone ground in the courtyard suddenly sunk into a large shallow hole about half a foot deep.
The pit, wind and dust rolled around, and Sun Huo appeared in his arms.
Such a big movement immediately alarmed everyone in the room, and they all got up and came out to see what was going on.
Sun Huo looked at it coldly and saw that the leader was indeed Li Yan, but he no longer had the youthful spirit of the past. He looked much more mature and steady, and his thin face looked even more haggard. The person who came out behind him was also
There were four or five people, probably the guardian elders of the Nine Games, but they didn't make much of an impression, and I didn't know if they were old men I'd never seen before or new subordinates who were less advanced.
At the first sight of Sun Huo, an uninvited guest, in such a large formation, all the people were secretly afraid, and for a moment there was silence. It was lucky to be able to eat in a land that had been dry for a long time, how could they expect to retain their former martial arts skills?
This situation is caused by bad intentions. Even if everyone present takes action, there is a high possibility that they will all be taken out of the pot.
After seeing the identity of this uninvited guest, Li Yan was obviously stunned for a moment, with a face full of disbelief. He took two steps forward with heavy feet, and when he went down the steps, he even missed his step.
He suddenly became unstable, but Li Yan didn't care about his gaffe at all. He stared at Sun Huo as he stumbled towards him, and immediately knelt down in front of him, bowing his head.
"Please ask the Immortal Master to show mercy, save my sister, and save Greenstone City!"
"May the Immortal Master be merciful, save the second young lady, and save the people of Green Stone!" The people behind Li Yan were shocked, glanced at each other, and immediately rushed over without any hesitation, and all knelt down
Kowtow and pray.
Sun Huo couldn't help but be dumbfounded when he suddenly saw Li Yan and the Jiuyuanhui people begging like this. Because he had doubts about the current situation of the Jiuyuanhui, he just showed up with such a huge fanfare just because he wanted to
He wanted to scare Xiao Xiao first so that he could act later. But the situation in front of him was really not what Sun Huo expected, and Si Ye was also mentioned in his begging words. What on earth was going on?
"I'm talking about Gang Leader Li, you and I are old acquaintances after all. Why do you have to condescend and kowtow like this? Let's talk if you have anything to say." The heroic and free-spirited look of Li Siye could not help but appear in his mind, which aroused a hint of thought in Sun Huo's heart.
I have unclear emotions, but it’s not easy to express them in front of others at this moment, so I can only speak in an indifferent manner.
But when Li Yan raised his head, Sun Huo only saw that he was crying. He was secretly surprised in his heart. He suddenly realized that if the crisis was not urgent and there was no solution, why would the leader of the gang be so humble and beg for help?
.
After just a cup of tea, a thunderbolt suddenly shot out from the Li Mansion, rushing straight into the distance. After a while, the door of the Li Mansion suddenly opened wide, and Li Yan also rode the only fast horse with several people.
Rushed out.
At the same time, faint sounds of singing could be heard in several streets and alleys in Greenstone City:
"A hundred miles of sun, rotten trees and black trees, all suffocating the resentment of the dead.
Purple flames arose, Ye Nu presented herself, thunder and springs appeared."
