Chapter 268: Mutation

The night breeze was cool. When Xiao Chen arrived at the courtyard pavilion arranged by the Rakshasa Lady, he saw that Hua Weiyang was worried. He had been away from the Five Realms of Xianyuan for more than a year, and he didn't know what had happened. He asked, "Weiyang, what happened?"

"Nothing, just some small things, the people in the palace will handle it.

Hua Weiyang smiled lightly, and in order to change the subject, she looked at him and snorted, "This Rakshasa Lady is really beautiful. No wonder some people stared at her without blinking since they entered."

Xiao Chen shook his head. He didn't want to joke with her at the moment. He didn't know what troubles he would encounter when he returned to the Five Realms of Xianyuan this time. He had a bad feeling in his heart these days.

Hua Weiyang saw that he was lost in thought again and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, I just don't know how my mother and Sister Shen Jing are doing recently. I want to go back to Ning Village and Butterfly Valley to see them. "

While talking, Xiao Chen walked to the window sill and looked at the bright moon outside the window. He still remembered that when he left, he quietly returned home at night, but he could only look at his mother through the window. He didn't even dare to show up, for fear that he would bring the same disaster to Ning Village as the ancient village.

"Okay, I'll go back with you."

Hua Weiyang walked slowly to his side. Now she didn't know the situation of Lianhua Palace, but she didn't want Xiao Chen to go back to Ning Village alone. After all, Ning Village was at the foot of Xuanqing Mountain, too close, and she was afraid that something might change.

The next morning, the two said goodbye to the Rakshasa Mistress and went to Xianyuan Middle Earth. It took half a month to reach the territory of Xuanqing Mountain.

The two walked very carefully along the way, trying to hide their breath as much as possible. The Five Realms of Xianyuan were not like the Ancient Realm of Xianbei, and everything had to be done carefully.

"Xuanqing Mountain is ahead, idiot...be careful. "

By noon, the two had already arrived near Xuanqing Mountain. They could vaguely see the towering mountain, which was only the mountainside of the entire Xuanqing Mountain. The real Xuanqing Seven Peaks were shrouded in clouds and mist, so how could they be seen from below?

"I suddenly have a bad feeling, hurry up."

The closer they got to the small village where he grew up, the more uneasy Xiao Chen felt. Unconsciously, his steps had become much faster.

When the two came to the river outside the village, they could not see the old scenery. The river still flowed, but the whole village became surprisingly quiet. However, in this quietness, there was a dead atmosphere, and even the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs could not be heard.

"It's not even noon yet, how can it be so quiet... No, something happened, Weiyang, let's go in quickly! "

At this moment, Xiao Chen's heartbeat became much more intense, almost jumping out of his chest. He moved his feet and instantly entered the village. However, what came into view was a desolate and bleak scene.

There was no longer any sight of the former bustle. There were only collapsed houses, broken stone roads, and dilapidated courtyards overgrown with weeds.

"How could this be..."

Hua Weiyang also chased in in an instant. When she saw the scene in front of her, she froze in place.

"Mother! "

Xiao Chen's face suddenly changed. It was as if he had seen the most terrible thing. When he rushed into the small courtyard where he and Wu Niang lived in the past, all his hopes were shattered in an instant, turned into ashes, and dissipated bit by bit with the cold wind at this moment.

I saw that behind the courtyard, there was a small earthen mound built into a grave. There were not many weeds around the grave. It was probably a new grave. On the monument in front of the grave, the four words "Wu Niang's Tomb" were written.

"Mother..."

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to have lost his soul. He staggered towards the grave. Before this, he still had a glimmer of hope. Maybe it was just that the whole village had moved away, but now it seemed that... No one in the whole village survived.

"Idiot..."

Hua Weiyang also walked in and wanted to go over, but finally stopped. She didn't know how to comfort him at the moment, but she was worried that he would do something unexpected in his sadness, so she had to stand there and remain silent.

"I want to be alone, Weiyang, you go out first. "

The voice was a little low, and no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness could be heard. Hua Weiyang looked at him and nodded, "Okay..."

The wind blew coldly, hitting the broken earth walls, still with a whimpering sound, as if the hundreds of wronged souls who were silent here were whispering about the tragic scene of that day.

"Mother, I'm sorry... I'm back late."

Xiao Chen knelt in front of the tomb, his ten fingers had slowly pinched into the soil, his eyes were gradually filled with bloodshot, and his mind was filled with laughter and joy here.

Who is it that would not let go of hundreds of innocent villagers?

After an unknown amount of time, Xiao Chen slowly walked back to the house. A layer of light dust had fallen on the loom, and a piece of unfinished cloth was still on it.

"Mother..."

Looking at the familiar room in the past, Xiao Chen's heart was more like a hole that could never be filled. The cave, only more than a year, but there is nothing to go back to.

At this moment, outside, Hua Weiyang frowned, carefully exploring the entire ruined village, as if trying to find some clues, who killed hundreds of people in Ning Village? However, the truth seemed to be hidden tightly.

When passing by a collapsed house, Hua Weiyang walked in carefully, but found something in a corner, which made her face slightly suspicious, but she recovered immediately, squatted down and put the thing into her sleeve.

It took about half an incense stick of time before she went outside, and Xiao Chen stood at the entrance of the village, his clothes fluttering in the wind, quietly looking at the dilapidated village.

I still remember that after he entered Xuanqing, the village even changed its name, adding a "Yong" in front of the "Ning" character, Yongning Village, which means eternal peace and well-being. However, at this moment, reality is like a sharp blade, ruthlessly cutting through hope.

"Idiot..."

Hua Weiyang slowly walked to his side, and followed his gaze, looking at the dilapidated village. Xiao Chen took a deep breath and asked, "Did you just... find any clues?"

"No..."

Hua Weiyang shook his head and said, "But it looks like it should have been destroyed a month or two ago."

"A month or two ago..."

Xiao Chen closed his eyes, and the wind blew coldly past his ears, making a constant humming sound, like the wronged souls of hundreds of people, crying and wailing in his ears, making him feel confused.

At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the mountain, and then several sword lights fell in the village. Footsteps gradually approached, and from the sound, several people were coming this way.

"Idiot, someone is coming, hurry up!"

Hua Weiyang pulled his sleeve hard, and when Xiao Chen opened his eyes, the people had come close and were looking at him and Hua Weiyang.
