Chapter 357 The dead cannot be resurrected, but those who come can still be saved
You Su still had those clear eyes with clear black and white.
He has good eyesight, but he still can't see the world clearly like a normal person, but the degree of blur has dropped a little, as if he is always separated from the world in front of him by a rough glass.
But even he could clearly feel the world outside the house changing from white to black.
If it were the same time in Zhongyuan Continent, it would probably be late at night.
The clan leader has not returned yet.
Bai Ze lay on the table and fell asleep comfortably, with a small piece of pink tongue hanging on his lips and his belly turned up, completely unprepared for potential dangers. You Su suddenly understood why it stayed in Cangshan Mountain and never went out. Maybe it would be a happy thing if it could always live in its own comfort zone.
But when it wakes up, it is estimated that it will never admit that it fell asleep under the touch of this hateful human being, and it will also wag its tail and beg him to touch it more.
You Su closed the window, and after thinking about it, he took out a piece of animal skin and covered it.
Just at this moment, there was another knock on the door.
"Master...have you rested?" Xiao Lu's voice was very soft and very tentative.
You Su opened the door. The moment Xiaolu saw the boy, his timid expression suddenly became vivid, as if he saw hope.
"What's wrong?" You Su asked.
"Just...just..." Xiaolu seemed a little embarrassed to say anything.
"Just say it, it doesn't matter."
"I just want to borrow some money from you..." Xiaolu stammered, and finally told the whole story, "We don't have any money here, the money is all with the clan leader, but it seems that the clan leader has not come back for a long time. We just The boss asked for a pot of hot water. He said that we had asked for water too many times and the free water had been used up. We would have to pay for the water in the future, but they didn't agree..."
Perhaps the only valuable thing in the bodies of these Xuesang tribe people is the dried meat. But the inns here are only opened with great difficulty. What they definitely want is not dried meat, but real money.
You Su pursed his lips and took out a handful of broken silver from the Qiankun bag without much hesitation.
The deer's eyes shone when he looked at the silver stone, "This, this is a lot of money!"
"You put them away and just give him one when you go to get the water. If you have other tribesmen who want to get the water, you are responsible for paying. But remember, don't tell others that I gave it to you. "After You Su told him, he crossed Xiaolu and prepared to lock the door.
Xiaolu was extremely happy, "When the patriarch comes back, I will definitely ask him to pay you back! Oh, God, where are you going?"
"I'll go find him." You Su left these words and walked down the stairs.
By the time he walked down the stairs, he was fully dressed in his felt hat, high collar, and sunglasses.
As he walked on the deserted road, he always felt that the Arctic City was particularly cold under the night cover.
In fact, the reason why You Su has been in a state of despair for a long time is not because he was misunderstood. He has never cared about other people's evaluations. It doesn't matter even if in the eyes of outsiders he is really a vicious maniac. What makes it really difficult for him to accept is that he is completely Unknowingly affecting someone you cherish is far more painful than simply bringing him into disrepute.
But after thinking about it for so long, his sense of self-blame has eased slightly. The connection with the power of God is always there. On the golden paper formed by the golden polyps, senior sister, junior sister, Xueruo, Brother Kongyue and Qianhua The fact that the venerables are all here at least means that these relatives are still alive, so he should not blame others and blame himself, and act like a child and need an old man to comfort him.
Arctic City was declining quickly and could not afford well-trained soldiers. There was not even a patrolling guard visible on the streets. The city guards only randomly selected a few from the prime men in the city, so there was no unified dormitory at all. , and most of them know each other from the people who stayed in the city.
With only a piece of silver, he asked the wine shop owner where the two city guards lived. They lived not too far away.
The sky was terribly dark, and the residents of Arctic City had almost no nighttime entertainment activities. They went to bed early, and only a few houses in the huge city were still lit with lights.
This made You Su even more uneasy. Chen Yi had been gone for too long.
Did you fall asleep at Chengwei's house after you got so drunk?
You Su shook his head in his mind. This old man had absolute obsession in his heart and would never do anything like drinking and causing trouble.
In his eyes, the old man was an ordinary person who had done wrong things but returned from his mistakes and longed for atonement. He could not be said to be good, but his nature was by no means bad.
Such a person should do what he wants to do instead of running around for himself.
These people can't give him any help, but he may even implicate them.
He had already made a decision in his heart. When he found the old man, he would say goodbye to him, and then leave alone in the dark night, but he was still at a loss as to where to go next.
Suddenly, You Su's nose moved slightly and he smelled a special smell.
That's a bloody smell!
At first he thought he had smelled it wrong, because the rough animal skins on his body had a faint smell of blood, but the smell of blood in the air had a moist and warm smell.
Obviously, it was the blood that had just flowed out!
You Su immediately quickened his pace and ran towards the direction where the smell of blood was coming from. He turned two corners and quickly determined that the smell of blood was coming from the only house with a light on.
He frowned tightly, and there was always an ominous premonition lingering in his heart.
"Is anyone here?"
Yousu knocked on the door, trying to sound as approachable as possible.
"Who?!"
The man inside opened the door impatiently. His appearance was a very standard image of a big man from Bei Aozhou, masculine and rugged.
"Who are you?!" Seeing the strange clothes of the person outside the door, the big man's tone became even worse.
You Su quietly observed the scene in the courtyard through the open door, and finally he found the source of the bloody smell, which turned out to be a slaughtered sheep.
The sheep was hung under a horizontal wooden stick, with a sharp opening on its neck, and fresh sheep blood flowed down the sheep's head into a basin at the bottom.
"Oh, brother who is killing the sheep..." You Supei said with a smile.
The big man seemed to realize something, and said impatiently:
"This sheep is going to die of old age. If you kill him before he dies, the meat will be tighter. The broken sheep is really bad. I don't know how to carry it until it dies in the daytime, which makes me get up and slaughter it in the middle of the night. It's all bad luck."
There are many taboos when killing sheep, and one of them is not to kill sheep at night.
"What does it have to do with you when I slaughter the sheep? I'm not letting you get into trouble, so get out!"
The big man thought that You Su was a nefarious person who came to dissuade him from slaughtering sheep, so his attitude became even worse. Before You Su could explain, he was about to close the door and see off the guests.
But the moment the door closed, a cold light came in from the gap between the door leaves, and You Su rushed into the house with lightning speed.
The big man also reacted very quickly, picked up the boning knife at hand and slashed at You Su. A hint of fierceness flashed across his rough face, and he no longer hid his strength. He was indeed no ordinary butcher! The blade cut through the air, carrying a sharp murderous aura, and aimed directly at Yu Su's throat.
Fortunately, You Su was very agile. He sidestepped and used Liansheng's sword technique of "Lighting the Lamp to Shine the Lotus" to neutralize the big man's menacing sword.
The Mo Song Sword and the Eviscerating Knife collided and sparks flew out, Xuan Qi formed an invisible aftermath around them, and the sound of metal collision was particularly harsh in the silent night.
You Su knew that his status was inconvenient, and he didn't want to attract attention by doing some big opening and closing movements, but every time this big man slashed with an aura that was like breaking mountains and cracking rocks, he danced the boning knife like a tiger, and the result was huge. The sound seemed to be eager to let others know that there was a fight here.
You Su was almost certain that this person must have done something shady, so where did his confidence come from that he was not afraid of being exposed at all?
You Su was puzzled, but he was also determined to fight quickly before he was discovered!
The two of them fought fiercely in the small courtyard. Their swords collided, the wind howled, and the falling snowflakes were picked up and fell again.
The swords, swords and shadows clashed endlessly, and another blow was exchanged, shaking up a large amount of snow. The big man felt a powerful force pierce his chest and reach his back, and his whole body was carried by the force and flew backwards, collapsing the entire back wall.
"Who...are you?!"
The big man lay among the rocks, looking at the sword tip so close at hand, feeling horrified. This young man sounds young, but why is he so powerful? He originally thought that the other party and himself were both at the Condensing Water Realm, and that he would be able to gain the upper hand with his age advantage, but he didn't expect that he was no match for the other party? !
"I want to ask you too."
You Su moved the Mo Song Sword forward and inserted it right into the main artery of the big man's neck. He could even feel the big man's heartbeat like a drum through the Mo Song Sword.
But surprisingly, the big man did not show much fear when facing the threat of death. His lips curled up contemptuously:
"Do you think you can still survive? Isn't it good to just hide on the other side of the snow? Why do you have to come out?!"
You Su Jian frowned, the person under the sword was indeed related to Chen Yi!
"Where is Chen Yi!" You Su gritted his teeth, and blood was already oozing from the tip of the sword.
But the big man was dismissive and not afraid of what would happen next. Instead, his tone became even more sinister.
"If it weren't for you! I wouldn't have ended up like this! You all would have died!"
But the next moment, the mighty and unyielding man was stunned. He looked at the dark eyes of the young man in front of him, and the faint green color made him feel an inexplicable impulse for some reason.
In this dazed moment, he subconsciously wanted to run towards the inner room. But soon, he found that he was still where he was. His pupils widened as he realized something, and he wanted to look back at the boy's strange eyes, but he couldn't even turn his head.
Because his body has been separated.
"You...are..."
The big man moved his lips, but couldn't make any sound. Those eyes seemed to be horrified as if he had seen the most terrifying evil in the world before he died, but soon, the bone-chilling cold froze his body.
This was the power that Zang Tu brought to You Su's eyes, and he had gradually figured out how to use that faint green color. When facing a strong person, it can temporarily stop the opponent for a moment, and when facing a weak or defenseless person, it can arouse the opponent's strongest desire.
The big man wanted to go back to his room immediately after being bewitched, which meant that the most important things were in the room.
You Su Yijian broke open the door, lit a fire stick, and immediately saw a scene that shocked him: the patriarch Chen Yi was hung on the beam in the same posture as the old sheep that was slaughtered and bled outside, dripping The blood stained the cold ground red, and rising fog rose.
You Su once read in a book that this was a blood-dropping punishment unique to Bei Aozhou. The extreme cold in Bei Aozhou would slow down the flow of blood, but the temperature of the blood itself would never allow the wound to close. ice. If the person is hung up again, the blood will flow down and compress the wound, so the wound on the neck will never stop bleeding on its own, but will continue to drip blood.
You Su quickly rescued the old man. He was so anxious that he wanted to take out some pills and feed them to the old man, but the old man could not swallow them at all. He had no choice but to inject some Xuan Qi to stabilize his condition, but found that the old man was already on the verge of death.
"Master Youxian...you are here..."
The old man's hoarse voice sounded, and You Su blamed himself. If he hadn't asked the other party to go out to find out information for him, how could the other party have suffered a sudden disaster.
"Stop talking! I can save you!" You Su was about to slit his wrist.
But the old man reached out tremblingly, grabbed his wrist, and squeezed it gently, as if to persuade the young man to give up.
"This is what I deserve... The dead cannot be resurrected, but those who come can still be saved..."
Looking at the old man's sad smile, You Su clenched his fists tightly and his joints cracked.
"He is the city lord of Arctic City... He has been waiting in Arctic City under orders from others... No matter what... I will die... Master Immortal, don't blame yourself..."
The old man patted the back of You Su's hand. You Su felt the old man's body temperature gradually disappearing, and felt particularly miserable in his heart.
"Master Immortal, run away... You killed the city lord. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time..."
When You Su heard this, he became slumped, as if muttering to himself:
"Where can I run to..."
The old man saw the boy's confusion and smiled softly:
"Your master and sister are safe...you have no worries, just do what you want to do..."
You Su slowly raised his head with a stunned expression. The frown that had been furrowed all day finally relaxed a little.
He looked at the dying old man and suddenly felt a sense of determination in his heart.
"I will go to the Dragon Palace for you! I will definitely restore the divine stone to that coast!"
You Su's every word sounded like falling stones, and he had not forgotten his mission to eliminate evil. But since he can't kill those weird things for the time being, he will first get rid of something more sinister than evil!
Hearing this, the old man shed two lines of tears from his eyes.
What the young man wanted to do most at this moment was not to prove his innocence, but to atone for his sins.
"I told you before...you won't be that heinous evil devil..."
The old man gradually squinted his eyes, and the strength to regain his senses was gone. He tried his best to tug at the skirt of You Su's clothes. You Su immediately understood and quickly leaned down to listen to the old man's whisper.
The name that the old man had been thinking about for thirty years, the secret that he had never told anyone in order not to implicate his tribe, was now passed on to a stranger like a torch.
"Please...place them for me...thank you..."
After leaving these last words, the old man completely turned into a corpse lying in You Su's arms.
But unlike the great elder of the Snow Mastiff Sect who was buried in the snowstorm, Chen Yi gently closed his eyes when he died.
His wish didn't come true, but he knew it would come true one day.
