But in the wooden house, except for Liu Ming's own echo, there was no echo at all.
"Lian Xi! Feng'er!"
Liu Ming turned around and left the wooden house, and ran towards his rice field in despair, shouting loudly as he ran.
After a cup of tea, we were in a rice field behind the village.
"Er Gou, why are you plowing in my land? Where are Lian Xi and Feng'er?" Liu Ming grabbed a thin man and asked in a roar.
"Liu Laosan, you have the nerve to ask. You have been away from home for ten years. I don't know how you have lived in the county, but you really have the heart to let this orphan and widower wait here for you.
." The thin man pushed Liu Ming away and said coldly.
"Er Gou, what do you mean by this? Why are you cultivating my land? Where are Lian Xi and Feng'er? Tell me quickly!" Liu Ming asked anxiously.
"What do you mean? Lian Xi died of illness due to overwork four years ago. And your son Liu Feng, a year ago, the government took him away when they recruited troops in the village. Before he left, they took this piece of land away.
The land was transferred to me." The thin man replied truthfully.
"It's impossible. You must be lying to me. I receive letters from Feng'er every year. He and Lian Xi are fine. How could this happen? Tell me, what is your purpose in lying to me like this? Are you robbing me?
He took over my land and drove them away, tell me quickly." Liu Ming stepped forward excitedly again, grabbed the thin man's clothes, and asked with an angry face.
"Liu Daguan, Liu Tanhua, you are now a senior official. How dare a commoner lie to you? Everyone in the village knows this. If you don't believe me, ask yourself." The thin man pushed Liu Ming away again.
, smoothed his sleeves, stopped talking, turned around, picked up the tools, and continued farming.
When Liu Ming heard this, he took two steps back with dull eyes, staggered, and fell into the field.
"Impossible, this is impossible!"
After a while, Liu Ming got up and ran towards the village again.
Along the way, he fell down several times, causing his nose and face to be bruised and swollen. However, regardless of the pain, he got up, waved his hands in despair, and continued running forward.
A month later, on a hilltop outside Liujia Village, in front of a deserted tomb overgrown with weeds, a man with messy hair and a tattered soap robe was kneeling on his knees, crying bitterly, and in his hand was a
He held the two letters tightly, and his nails were deeply embedded in his flesh. Blood stained a corner of the letter paper.
The first letter he found in the only remaining cabinet in the wooden house was written by his son Liu Feng five years ago.
"Dad, mother has been working hard all these years and has become ill due to overwork. But you didn't let me tell you, and you have been away from me for five years. You have never come back to see us. Is fame, fortune, and wealth really so important, mother?
She said that it is her father's lifelong wish to obtain academic fame. Even if she risks her own life, she still hopes to fulfill your wish. And do you know what mother's wish is? She just hopes that you can accompany her and live a simple life.
Staying together for life is enough. In fact, this is also Feng'er's wish."
The second letter was a letter sent by the government. It only contained a few lines of words, the writing and ink were still fresh, and there was an official stamp slanted at the bottom.
"Liu Feng, a native of Liujia Village, was over eighteen years old. He was brave and good at fighting. When he was judging the rebellion in Dongjun, he was ambushed and died unfortunately. In recognition of his outstanding achievements over the past year, he was awarded the title of Shilang Xiaobing and was awarded a silver medal.
Twelve."
"I, Liu, have been obsessed with fame all my life. I thought that after being named on the gold medal, I could give my wife a shadow, give them a decent life, and enjoy endless glory and wealth throughout my life! But I never thought that in the end, not only would my beloved wife die of illness at home without committing suicide,
You know, my son was also involved in the battle and died on the battlefield, with no body left, all because of my stubbornness. How can I have the face to live alone in the world?"
After Liu Ming finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and wailed, bursting into tears. After a while, he suddenly reached out and suddenly raised a jar of wine on the side, and drank it down.
After a few sips, he smashed the wine jar to the ground and pulled out a crystal dagger glowing with purple light from his waist.
"Lian Xi, Feng'er, I'm here to accompany you two, wait for me!" Liu Ming's eyes were red, and he raised his hand without hesitation, placing the dagger on his neck.
At this moment, his hands holding the dagger suddenly trembled, and dazzling purple light emitted from the dagger, and then Liu Ming felt a cool feeling spread throughout his body.
The next moment, Liu Ming felt a chill all over his body, and everything around him began to become blurry.
There was a crisp sound of "bang"!
The surrounding scene suddenly shattered like a mirror...
"This is impossible, how could it be like this! Could it be that what he held was not the soul-breaking dagger? No, that bitch added another layer of the Restoration Curse to the dagger."
Before Liu Ming opened his mouth to speak, the frightened and angry voice of a woman in palace attire suddenly came to his ears.
When he opened his eyes again with excitement, he found that he had been pushed back to the entrance of the hall where he had entered before. The soul-breaking dagger in his hand had been hung to his neck, and he was only inches away from slitting his throat.
Xu Zhiyao seemed to be cut off with a knife at the next moment, blood splattered on the spot.
There are circles of strange purple spiritual patterns on the surface of the dagger that are flashing continuously, and pieces of purple crystal light are emitted from them, and you can vaguely feel the coolness from them.
Obviously, it was these purple crystal lights that shrouded him that made his mind clear and broke away from the previous illusion.
Liu Ming recalled the previous words of the woman in palace attire, but he still didn't understand what happened. After taking a long breath, he took the dagger away from his neck, stared at the woman in palace attire and said lightly:
"It seems that you are still short of success. If this is the case, then give up your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed the magic formula, black energy surged out of his body, and he strode towards the opposite side again.
"If that bitch really thinks that activating this spiritual magic circle will allow me to capture him, then you are looking down on me! Not all the puppets in this palace are affected by this restriction. Well, let you see what I made with my own hands.
The new puppet!" Seeing this, the woman in blue palace clothes snorted coldly.
A layer of red light appeared in her eyes again, and she saw a rattling sound of a mechanism on the roof of the room. Two large holes were revealed at once, and two black things fell from them, separating the two women.
On the side, there are actually two black humanoid puppet soldiers.
Liu Ming's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stopped where he was, and swept towards the two newly appearing puppets.
The two black humanoid puppet warriors are half a foot tall, with their eyes closed tightly and wearing bloody masks with grimaces on their faces. They are not exactly burly, and there are many strange bloody lines engraved on their chests. One of them holds a hand.
The handle was a bright golden giant sword, and the other hand held a green-lighted sharp knife.
Liu Ming frowned immediately when he saw this.
Didn't the girl say that once the restriction is opened, all the puppets in the palace will lose their effectiveness and can no longer move. What's going on with these two puppets?
Although these two puppets have no aura at all, making it impossible to know how powerful they are, since they were made by women in palace attire themselves, they must be extremely troublesome guys.
At this time, the eyes of the woman in blue palace clothes condensed slightly, and the red light in her pupils suddenly turned into blood red. In a flash, the two blood red eyes in her eyes began to slowly rotate like a whirlpool.
At the same time, the strange patterns on the chests of the two black puppet soldiers who were originally motionless seemed to be echoing. Suddenly, a burst of red light flowed, and then bursts of dazzling red light were emitted. Then the eyes of the two black puppets opened.
Kai, on the other hand, had a pair of blood-colored eyes, which looked even brighter than the eyes of the woman in palace attire. At the same time, she stared at Liu Ming.
When Liu Ming saw this, his pupils shrank.
But before he could think about it, the two black puppet soldiers' eyes flashed with blood, and they walked toward him with heavy steps. Every step seemed to have a huge force, making the whole building
The side hall trembled slightly.
Liu Ming's heart trembled. This kind of momentum seemed to be at least as powerful as fake elixir. Immediately, with a thought in his mind, the spirit-breaking dagger in his hand disappeared in a flash. With a flicker of his body, he suddenly turned into three phantoms.
Welcoming him.
Although this spirit-breaking dagger is powerful, it has not been trained after all, and the power it can use is probably less than one-tenth of its true power. But even so, with his current liquid condensation stage cultivation, if he wants to force
If you activate this treasure, you may be able to drain it of mana in a few strokes. Naturally, you cannot use it to directly fight the enemy.
The figure of the puppet holding a green sharp knife flashed and appeared in front of a phantom. With a wave of one hand, the green blade struck out without any warning.
"Bang" sound!
As soon as the phantom shadow touched the sword light, it was chopped away.
At the same time, Liu Ming urged another phantom to greet the puppet holding the sword, while his real body swayed and appeared behind the puppet holding the sword.
As soon as his body appeared, he made a fist with one hand. Under the surge of black energy, a black tiger head vaguely appeared on his fist.
The sound of "ouch" came from the roar of a tiger!
The black tiger-headed phantom bit the sword puppet's left arm in one bite, and with one strong force, half of the left arm was torn off.
The broken right arm of the knife-wielding puppet spurted out a stream of blood like a human being, and suddenly a strong smell of blood filled the air.
But before Liu Ming could show his joy, he heard a loud "boom"!
In the mouth of the giant tiger transformed by the fist shadow, half of the arm exploded instantly, and circles of blood waves spread out wildly, not only tearing the phantom of the tiger's head to pieces in an instant.
Liu Ming, who was very close at hand, was affected and felt a huge force hit him hard. He flew out like a sack and fell heavily on a nearby palace pillar, knocking him down.
It was shaken by the collision, and large cracks suddenly appeared on the surface.
Liu Ming took a deep breath, endured the severe pain, and suddenly disappeared from the palace pillar.
The next moment, with a "pop" sound, a green blade light struck the crack mark left on the stone pillar.
But it was another black soldier puppet, slashing through the air with the sharp knife in his hand. (To be continued...)
