Chapter 136 Liquidation (Part )
He Qing was not unfamiliar with the place that Su Guang mentioned. Coincidentally, the last time they came here was late at night, and this time they came again, it was also midnight when everything was quiet.
The crooked tree outside the village has grown new branches. The owl perched on the branch is pecking at the tender buds, making a strange "coo" sound from time to time.
The village was silent at this time. Almost all villagers had turned off the lights and gone to sleep. Among the dark outlines of the houses, only a few scattered houses still had faint candlelight on.
Su Guang looked at He Qing and asked gently, "Do you want to come together?"
He Qing shook his head: "I am kind-hearted by nature and cannot bear to see such a cruel and inhumane thing."
Su Guang smiled, leaned over and gently touched He Qing's cheek: "Then the kind-hearted master will wait for me outside."
"Ah."
He Qing watched Suguang stroll into the village, then he chose a house with lights on and knocked on the door gracefully.
As the door opened, the light from inside the room fell on Suguang. His beautiful face showed a touching smile, and he said gently, "Excuse me, I'm here to take you on your way."
Late in the night, a man in a black robe, with skin as white as snow and indistinguishable as male or female, with the most friendly smile, spoke the most terrifying life-threatening words. You can imagine what expressions the people in the room had.
He Qing turned his back and deliberately weakened his hearing so as not to be affected by the upcoming sounds.
Not long after, Qi Guanrui also arrived. He saw the village on the mountainside from afar and thought that He Qing and the other two were going to stay here. However, he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived, he ran into He Qing standing at the entrance of the village.
"He Qing?" Qi Guanrui asked suspiciously, "What are you doing here?"
He Qing said slowly: "You'd better stand here, or stand farther away."
Qi Guanrui looked puzzled: "What does this mean?"
Almost at the moment Qi Guanrui finished speaking, He Qing saw his pupils suddenly constrict, his face changed drastically, and he subconsciously wanted to rush into the village.
He Qing pulled him back and said quietly, "Don't go."
When Qi Guanrui saw He Qing trying to stop him, he immediately realized that she knew what was happening in the village, so she deliberately stayed outside the village just to watch.
He stared at He Qing in disbelief: "He Qing, how could you allow him to do this? Those are just ordinary people, they have no power to fight back at all!"
Even though He Qing's hearing had weakened, he could still hear the painful wails and shrill screams coming from the village. Each sound could penetrate the eardrums and go straight into people's hearts. Qi Guanrui's face became increasingly paler.
He Qing said expressionlessly: "They are ordinary people, but they have hearts that are dirtier than those of evil spirits. If you knew what they had done, you would not sympathize with them."
Qi Guanrui believed He Qing. Since He Qing said so, the people in this village must have done something unforgivable, but... "But isn't there an innocent person among them?"
He Qing was silent for a moment and lowered her eyelids: "Maybe, there is." This is also the reason why she was unwilling to do this with Su Guang.
When the old woman broke through the boundaries and awakened Suguang's consciousness, Suguang also accepted the old woman's resentment and hatred. The one who was slaughtering the villagers was not Suguang, but the murderer who inherited all the resentment of the old woman.
As someone who had never experienced that, He Qing could not say "show mercy". Time passed by minute by minute, and He Qing always stood in front of Qi Guanrui, using magic to trap him and prevent him from entering the village, until those creepy shouts and cries slowly subsided and disappeared completely. Qi Guanrui's face covered with cold sweat was reflected by a red light, which was bright and dark, and He Qing let go of his hand.
The moment he was free, Qi Guanrui immediately ran towards the village, but stopped after only a few steps.
He Qing turned around and saw Su Guang's slender figure slowly walking out from the sea of fire, with sporadic bloodstains on his fair cheeks, like a Shura from hell.
As the light approached, Qi Guanrui could not help but step back.
When he was still in Liangzhou City, he had come into contact with many demonic cultivators, but none of them could bring such a horrible aura of death to people like this young master. Even though he had taken so many lives just a moment ago, he showed no sadness or joy, and had no emotional fluctuations at all.
Su Guang never looked at Qi Guanrui from beginning to end, as if there was no such person in front of him. He just walked to He Qing without looking away and smiled gently: "I'm back."
He Qing glanced at the blood on his face, exhaled a breath of foul air and replied: "Oh."
Qi Guanrui swallowed and asked, "Is there anyone alive in the village?"
Suguang took out a handkerchief and wiped his face leisurely, then asked nonchalantly, "How come there are people you know in there?"
"No matter what they did, the child is innocent!" Qi Guanrui didn't dare to look Su Guang in the eye, but still mustered up the courage to speak out his indignation.
"Heh." Su Guang chuckled: "The land of sin will only breed the fruits of sin. There is no such thing as innocence."
Qi Guanrui didn't know the whole story, and even though he knew that this was a bandit's logic, he couldn't refute it accurately. He could only silently set up a barrier on himself, rush into the fire, and save those who might still be alive.
After a long silence, He Qing suddenly asked out of nowhere: "When you were still an ancient god, would you also kill everyone like this?"
Suguang couldn't help but hug Heqing and said, "Silly words, if I were still an ancient god, I wouldn't need to do this kind of thing myself."
Su Guang is in charge of rewarding the good and punishing the evil, and he gives the evildoers the end they deserve according to the law of nature, so he doesn't need to do it himself. Naturally, someone will take this path and complete this "feast" of revenge.
He Qing had long known that Su Guang could be called a demon god, and he could leave so many strong negative adjectives in those ancient books. It was probably that he had done a lot of extreme things.
However, even though I had been mentally prepared, I still felt somewhat uncomfortable when I witnessed it with my own eyes...
Under Suguang's control, the fire spreading in the village gradually died down. The moisture in the mountains evaporated under the high temperature, and just like when they first came, "clouds" rose in the ashes.
Qi Guanrui was still searching in the ruins. The barrier had been removed and his white clothes were covered in black ash.
He Qing looked in the direction of Qi Guanrui, took a deep breath, and said, "Going to the North?"
Su Guang smiled and took her hand: "Why are you in such a hurry?" Then he took He Qing to the deepest part of the village.
Walking past the charred ruins, the two came to the only intact little shabby house in the corner of the village.
