The knife did not cut directly as expected, but changed an angle and penetrated the old man's heart, causing blood to flow out like a fountain.
Mo Chu, who had never seen a murderer before, was so frightened that his face turned pale and kept trembling. But when he saw his grandfather lying in a pool of blood, his grandfather was still saying, "Don't hurt my grandson, please." Mo Chu
Seeing my grandfather like this, my fear disappeared, and I suddenly became angry. I rushed forward and caught the murderer. I beat the robber with my hands and said, "Repay my grandfather. You give me my grandfather. I want you to pay with your life."
.”
But the young Mo Chu was no match for the strong robber, and he was pushed to the ground. Mo Chu stood up and rushed towards the robber again, but the result was still the same. Maybe he didn't have much strength anymore, this time
Mo Chu failed to stand up but crawled towards his grandfather.
He slowly picked up his grandfather and looked at him like this. Grandpa said, "Child, don't live in hatred, live for yourself, and be worthy of your own heart." He raised his hand with difficulty and touched Mo Chu.
He said with difficulty on his face, "You have to walk the road in the future by yourself. I'm sorry for you, my child. You are still young and there are many possibilities. You will lose yourself if you live in hatred. You can't be arrogant, but you can't."
No pride, remember?"
"Remember, grandpa, don't leave. I have to collect fairy medicine for you! You want to become an old god, so you can't leave! Grandpa," Mo Chu roared loudly, but grandpa's hand fell on him weakly.
On the ground.
"Grandpa, Grandpa, Mo Chu remembers it, Mo Chu remembers it!" Mo Chu yelled, tears bursting from his eyes. Then he looked at the group of robbers and said, "Sooner or later I will kill you to avenge my grandfather."
, blood debt must be paid with blood, I will make your life worse than death." The leader who had already turned around suddenly turned towards Mo Chu when he heard this, pulled out the steel knife and put it on Mo Chu's neck and said slowly: "Say it again."
"I want your blood debt to be paid with blood. I want your life to be worse than death. I want your blood debt to be paid with blood. I want you to..." Mo Chu said loudly three times and then said loudly to the robber, "Listen carefully."
No, you'd better kill me, or I'll send you on your way one by one."
A strange color appeared in the robber's eyes, and it disappeared quickly, and he said slowly: "What's your name? I'll wait for you to take revenge, and I'll give you time to grow up." His hands were shaking slightly, and so were the other robbers. But he was
Mo Chu, who was so filled with hatred, didn't notice this.
Mo Chu roared and said: "I don't want to change my name, please stretch out your dog ears so that I can hear you clearly. My name is 'Tai Shang Mo Chu'"
"Okay, I'll wait for you to come and kill me, but can you find me?" Then he turned around and left. When he walked out of the yard, he said silently, "You have a good grandson," and then strode away.
"Turtle with shrunken head"
After the robbers left, I looked at my grandpa like this. He remembered the days when he and his grandpa went up the mountain to collect herbs, the stories his grandpa told him about immortals, and the days when his grandpa taught him to read and read.
There are too many, but people are gone, so what’s the use of thinking about them? How can people who have passed away be resurrected?
Mo Chu looked at his grandfather and said slowly, "I will never let any of my relatives get hurt in this life." But what kind of relatives did Mo Chu have at this time? He thought of his parents whom he had never met before, and he looked at his grandfather and said while crying.
"Grandpa, you haven't told me who your parents are yet?"
Perhaps the saddest thing is the death of a loved one! Physical pain is better than heartache!
Early the next morning, Aunt Chen came to find the old man and found the old man lying in a pool of blood, lifeless, and Mo Chu holding the old man tightly in her arms. She was shocked and turned to look for someone. As soon as the news came out,
It caused a huge alarm, and everyone came over after hearing the news. Everyone looked at the old man, and felt severe pain in their hearts.
"Separate Mo Chu from him first," someone said, but no matter what method everyone used, Mo Chu's hands were still tightly holding his grandfather's clothes, and he murmured, "Grandpa and grandson, remember, you don't want to
Let’s go, don’t go, I’m going to kill you, and you’ll have to pay with blood.” With words like that, everyone’s faces showed a look of unbearability.
Finally, Mo Chu and the old man were separated. Everyone quickly carried Mo Chu to the bed. At this time, Mo Chu was still unconscious. Aunt Chen was taking care of Mo Chu. She looked at Mo Chu and said softly, "I hope you can come out as soon as possible!"
"Grandpa, grandpa" Mo Chu suddenly stood up. Aunt Chen heard the sound and came over. Mo Chu saw Aunt Chen and asked: "Auntie, where is my grandpa?" Aunt Chen said to Mo Chu: "People cannot be resurrected after death, you
Be strong." Hearing this, Mo Chu shed tears again and said slowly: "Auntie, do you know? I wish this was just a dream. After waking up from the dream, grandpa will still be there, and he has not left me yet.
ah!"
"Son, you have to cheer up. Your grandpa doesn't want to see you like this when he is alive. You have to be strong. Even if your grandpa is in trouble, he will be able to feel at ease."
"Auntie, do you think people can be resurrected after death?" Mo Chu said calmly.
When the aunt heard what Mo Chu said, she said to Mo Chu: "Maybe, maybe the most powerful immortal in the world can take his life from the hands of the Lord of Hell! My child, you have to live well, do you understand?"
Three days later, his grandfather was buried. Mo Chu watched his grandfather being buried inch by inch by the loess. He tried not to cry. He didn't want his grandfather to know that he was a coward. But when the last inch of earth was covered, Mo Chu
Unable to bear it anymore, he cried heartbrokenly. The weather was originally sunny, but suddenly it began to drizzle. Maybe God didn’t want to see it.
Such a result, I am also crying for him!
Mo Chu cried for an unknown amount of time, and everyone stood there for an unknown amount of time. Finally, Mo Chu fainted, and everyone carried Mo Chu back to the courtyard. After returning home, Aunt Chen said: 'How will this child live in the future?'
"How about you take it back?" someone said.
"It's okay, but I just don't know if the child is willing. Let's wait until he wakes up and ask his opinion. I will take care of him for the time being." Everyone nodded.
After everyone left, he looked out the window and said slowly: "I hope you can hold on."
"Water, water," Mo Chu said weakly.
When Aunt Chen saw Mo Chu waking up, she quickly walked over and handed Mo Chu a bowl of water. After Mo Chu drank it, he looked at Aunt Chen in front of the bed and said, "Auntie, go back. I can take care of myself. I have already
Grow up."
After hearing this, Aunt Chen said: "Son, why don't you come back with me? I will take good care of you. I don't worry about you being alone."
"No need, aunt. I can do it. I can take care of myself. There are traces of my grandfather's life here. I don't want to leave here. Trust me, aunt." Mo Chu said calmly.
"Child, aunt believes in you. Auntie cooked porridge for you. You drank the porridge when you got up. If you want to get better as soon as possible, then auntie will go back. If you have any difficulties, you must come to me. I will definitely help you."
After looking at Mo Chu on the bed, he turned and left.
Mo Chu sat on the bed alone, looking at the empty room, feeling sad again, but this time he didn't cry because he didn't want to disappoint his grandfather, and he wanted to be strong.
Maybe we will always be so powerless in the face of life and death.
Then he took out the box that his grandfather gave him and opened it gently.
As the box slowly opened, he seemed to suddenly remember something and closed it again.
"I promised grandpa that I can't open it until I'm eighteen years old. I must abide by the agreement." He said softly.
Then he found a lock from his grandfather's medicine shelf and locked the box. Then he found a small stool and stood on the stool to put the box on the top of the medicine shelf. But at this time, Mo Chunian
He is young and not very tall, so it is extremely difficult to put him at the highest place. He can only think of a way. If it doesn't work once, then he will try another way. He has a kind of stubbornness that will not give up until he achieves his goal.
"Finally put it up, wait until I turn eighteen to open you again!" Mo Chu's face showed unprecedented determination.
"Clean the room!" Mo Chu murmured.
The whole yard is very simple, with no unnecessary items. There are two thatched houses, one for grandpa and one for Mo Chu. In addition, there is a thatched shed for living and cooking. There are piles of things that Mo Chu and grandpa picked up together.
Grandpa never cuts down the wood that comes from him. "Everything has its own destiny. The so-called all things have animism. No matter how powerful they are, they must respect the heaven and the earth." This is what grandpa often said. Sometimes Mo Chu would say "But
Why do some people always say that 'man can conquer nature'?"
"Because of their great ambitions, when some people's abilities reach a certain level, they will always have some unrealistic ideas, thinking that man can conquer nature, so they wantonly rob lives, and when retribution comes, they will not know what they have done wrong, thinking that
God's will is like this, so there is such a ridiculous idea that someone can conquer the sky. Mo Chu, remember, you must not plunder the lives of weak creatures, but you must not bow to the powerful creatures, do you understand?" Grandpa said seriously.
"Mo Chu remembered it."
Bits and pieces of the past flowed through his mind, and Mo Chu stood there quietly.
After a while, I started to clean the house again. There were two shelves in Grandpa's house. One was filled with medicinal materials, and the other was filled with collected books. Some had read it, some had not, some could understand it, and some had read it.
don't know.
There are various kinds of medicinal materials on the medicine shelf. Although they are complicated, they are well organized. Some medicinal materials he can name, some cannot be named, some are collected by his grandfather, and some medicinal materials have been known to Mo Chu since he was a child.
It has never changed, even after several years, the medicinal materials have not changed, it seems to have always been the same, which made Mo Chu feel very puzzled.
"This medicine shelf is full of great treasures and blessings! You will understand when the time comes."
After that, he packed all the things his grandpa used in a big box, and would take them out from time to time to look at them. This might make him feel a little warm during the long nights!
Mo Chu sat on the steps, looking at the clean and tidy yard, thinking about every bit of the past, and sat like this until dark.
five years
"Aunt Chen, I brought you a fish. It was just caught. It's fresh."
"What kind of fish does this kid want? He hasn't finished the rabbit he brought last time?" Aunt Chen said with a smile.
"Are you always going to make a living by collecting herbs like your grandfather?"
Mo Chu did not deny it.
"Auntie, if there's nothing else, I'll go back. You're busy!"
Aunt Chen looked at Mo Chu walking away with a complicated expression.
Mo Chu, who is eighteen years old, is dressed in black and has sharp eyebrows, which makes people look a little fond of him. His eyes are firm and his face is filled with maturity and vigor that is not for his age.
mulberry.
For so many years, Mo Chu has been inquiring about the whereabouts of that group of robbers, but that group of people just disappeared.
The second day of the second lunar month
Today there is a troupe in the city. The city lord invited it from other places. Firstly, it is to celebrate the founding of the city. Secondly, it is to have a good harvest in the coming year.
Mo Chu walked alone on the street, weaving in and out of the crowds, his figure slightly thin. In previous years, at this time, his grandfather would take him to the theater, but this year he was the only one left.
"Baozi, freshly baked buns"
"Want to buy some candy? It's delicious and sweet. Come get one, little one."
"Mo Chu, where are you going?" Shopkeeper Ma from the medicine shop asked when he saw Mo Chu coming out.
I'll just take a look.
"That's right, come here and give you something." Shopkeeper Ma said.
Mo Chu was puzzled and walked in.
Shopkeeper Ma took out a wooden box from under the counter and handed it to Mo Chu. When he opened it, he saw that it was full of money. Mo Chu was very shocked.
"This is your grandfather's medicine money. Last time your grandfather gave me a century-old ginseng and asked me to sell it for money. Yesterday, a wealthy businessman took a fancy to it. This is money. I have already deducted the commission. You can take it back.
, these are enough for you to live on." The shopkeeper explained.
"Okay, then I'll take it," Mo Chu said to the shopkeeper with a smile.
Seeing Mo Chu accept it, the shopkeeper let out a sigh of relief.
"If nothing happens, I'll leave first." Mo Chu said to the shopkeeper.
Seeing Mo Chu walk out, the shopkeeper said to the shopkeeper: "Just close the door when he walks away. It's time for me to rush over." The shopkeeper nodded, and then the shopkeeper suddenly disappeared into the pharmacy.
.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." A soldier with a knife shouted outside on horseback. Four horses behind him were riding side by side, pulling a carriage. The four horses were tall and mighty, and the carriage was elegant and luxurious.
There was a woman sitting in the car. She wore a veil, her face could not be seen clearly, and she was dressed in white clothes. Her skin was like gelatin, which could be broken by a blow. The fairies above the nine heavens were probably nothing more than this.
"Who is this person?" someone asked.
Everyone looked at each other.
"You can tell he's not an ordinary person at first glance," someone said. He looked over again in a blink of an eye.
The carriage passed slowly in front of Mo Chu. The woman in the carriage was about the same age as Mo Chu. When Mo Chu looked from the carriage, he happened to see the woman looking at him. The woman showed an imperceptible look and murmured:
"Is that you?"
The carriage passed by slowly and stopped at the door of the city lord's mansion.
Mo Chu followed the way he came and returned to the small courtyard.
At this time, the city lord's mansion.
"I saw him." The city lord said
"Well, but he hasn't yet..." It was the woman in the carriage who spoke.
"It will be soon. When he leaves this nameless city, we should go. I hope we can do all this before it is too late." A middle-aged woman walked in from the door. It was Aunt Chen, followed by another
Several people came in one after another, including the shopkeeper of the Pharmacopoeia, the blacksmith Uncle Zhang, the general Hua Tong, the old beggar... and soon the room was filled with people. Mo Chu would be surprised when he saw it. There is no contact on weekdays.
People were actually sitting in the same room.
"We're all here, let's begin." The city lord spoke first.
"The situation is very serious," Shopkeeper Ma said.
"Is there nothing he can do?" Leader Hua asked.
"There is one, seal the city, and wait for that child to grow up. Since Mr. has confidence, we should also have confidence. We have no choice but to ask for help. The strongest person in that place now is only the Saint King Realm, and no one has broken into the Emperor Realm.
I have no choice but to take a gamble." There was a hint of helplessness in Shopkeeper Ma's voice.
"He is already eighteen years old. I hope he can grow up as soon as possible." The city lord said.
"The Taishang family has given so much to this world." Someone sighed.
"Seniors, you brought me here for something, right?" the woman in white asked.
"We hope you can tell him the truth when he grows up. His grandfather..." Aunt Chen was a little sad.
"Don't let anyone else know about these things, including your parents, understand?" The woman in white nodded. She knew the seriousness of the matter, but she didn't understand why she was chosen.
She didn't understand, but knew that no one in this room would tell her.
Anyone in this room can just go out...
"I know what you are thinking, and you will understand it in the future. I hope we can all live." Shopkeeper Ma said calmly.
"Also, if he doesn't break the king and enter the imperial realm, don't bring him back, remember?" the city lord said slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
After saying that, the woman stood up and left. Everyone in the room looked at her leaving figure and didn't know what to think.
"Let's all go back and prepare. We should go somewhere." After a long time, the city lord slowly spoke, then turned and walked into the back hall, and everyone left one after another.
