The sun and moon are both wrong; who made him seek the Dharma

Those people's greed and cruelty have no bottom line.

The second person to be taken away was my mother.

The day my mother's hands were bound with hemp rope, the sunset was as red as blood, so red it was blinding.

Her mother didn't cry, but looked at her intently and said softly:

"Xiaoxiao, if you have the chance... go and see what's outside the mountains. Don't die here."

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't remember her mother's face that day; she only remembered that she cried for a long time.

The sun shone into the room.

Like blood.

Blood was everywhere.

Since then, Bai Xiaoxiao has never felt pain again.

Others insulted her, hit her, and threw stones at her.

She didn't feel any pain.

Whether you're alive or dead, it doesn't matter.

She felt that her heart was empty and numb, like a piece of rusty iron.

So when she was chosen as the next sacrifice, she neither ran away nor resisted.

Rather, it's better to live without dignity than to be mired in this quagmire of despair.

She longed to see her parents again in another world.

"I……"

Bai Xiaoxiao slowly raised her hand and tightly gripped the collar of her clothes.

"I...it hurts so much."

She gasped for breath, tears streaming down her face like broken beads.

"This is so strange... It really hurts here."

Xia Chuan looked at her and sighed, "Why do you find it strange?"

You are a human being.

"Of course it hurts when someone takes away your parents, a person of flesh and blood."

Bai Xiaoxiao was completely stunned.

So, I can feel pain too.

I am just like them; I am a human being with flesh and blood.

I am not some sacrifice born to atone for sins; I am a living, breathing human being.

Xia Chuan took half a step forward and asked that soul-searching question once again.

Tell me, what are you thinking right now?

Bai Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head, "I...I was thinking..."

She gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face.

"I don't want my father to die!"

"I want to see my mother!"

"I don't want to be a sacrifice!"

I want to listen to my mother and go see the outside world!

The girl looked up, her voice trembling: "I want to live!"

"That's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"

Xia Chuan turned around and looked at the faint outline of the village in the distance:

"I have a plan."

Chapter 12 Debt (Seeking recommendations and updates!)

Now let's return to the present.

"Although I don't know what you want to do, we've brought the person to you."

San Yan looked at Xia Chuan, his tone humble:

"Can you please let Xiaoxiao go?"

Xia Chuan, carrying Bai Xiaoxiao, glanced at the group of over three hundred villagers who had been driven up the mountain and were trembling with fear, and smiled coldly:

"That depends on your performance from now on."

Having said that, he released her: "But since you have kept your promise and come here, I will let her go."

As soon as Xia Chuan let go, the villagers of Heishan Village on the other side erupted in uproar.

"Bai Xiaoxiao!"

The village chief led the charge, pointing at her and hurling insults.

"You wretched creature! What have you done to provoke Lord Corpse into such a fuss!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd seemed to have found an outlet for their fear of Nirvana, and they all echoed his sentiments.

"that is!"

"You beast!"

"Hurry up and die!"

Vicious curses surged towards Bai Xiaoxiao like a tidal wave, as if she were the culprit.

"Shut up!"

Three-Eyed uttered a cold shout, and the entire audience fell silent instantly.

It walked up to Xia Chuan, its voice frank and open:

"The young man is an honest person."

Since you've kept your promise, then my life is yours.

Do as you please; if you even frown, you're not a real man.

Everyone looked astonished.

Beside Gao Haoguang, Jiang Mingzi, who was also in the same month's command, was somewhat surprised:

"This Nirvana Corpse does have some backbone."

"But a Nirvana is still a Nirvana."

"Once a Nirvana, always a Nirvana."

Jiang Mingzi's gaze drifted into the distance, looking at Gao Haoguang on the other side of the same month:

"Grey, don't hold back."

The other end of the same month.

The three-eyed corpse walked up to Xia Chuan and knelt down with a thud.

"But allow me to do one last thing."

After the deed is done, whether you kill me or torture me, I will have no complaints.

Gao Haoguang asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

Three-Eyed's gaze swept over the villagers, finally settling on Bai Xiaoxiao:

"Let me tell you a story."

San Yan swept his gaze across the crowd, finally settling on Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Let me tell you a story."

Xia Chuan was noncommittal.

Three-Eyed stood up and said, "Thank you."

Where to begin?

"Let's start with my name. 'Shangshi' is a weird nickname they gave me. I call myself 'Three-Eyed'."

"We survived, or rather, we lived for over 1,600 years in a state of neither death nor life."

"Although I am petty, I consider myself to be of gentle and kind character."

"I wouldn't kill someone for entertainment."

"My daily hobby is watching a sapling grow day by day."

It pointed to the blood-red eye between its eyebrows:

"This is our innate supernatural ability, 'Borrowing the True Eye of Essence'."

Anyone struck by the spell cast by this eye will become our puppet, whether they live or die.

We can also lend this project to the puppet, so we can control it ourselves.

Three-Eyed continued speaking to himself, pointing to the horrifying scars on his body:

“A thousand years ago, I was severely injured by an extremely powerful seeker of the Dharma, and I have only recently recovered.”

"We fought him to the bitter end, and he returned severely injured."

The other end of the same month.

Jiang Mingzi quietly looked at the three-eyed corpse.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the guy I just ran into.

But there's something strange about it.
