I am also courting Bai Yueguang today

Hundreds of human-shaped bones were placed not far behind Ruan Mu in an orderly manner. The number of these bones was really astonishing, and Wen Xia couldn't see the end at a glance.

He stood up, took a peek at the group of bones by the light of the fire, and found that each bone was kneeling on the ground in a kneeling posture, which looked strange and indescribable. It's ridiculous, it's like confessing something wrong in life.

What supported these bones to make such weird gestures was the iron chains tied to their bodies. These iron chains looked very heavy. Some bones could not bear the weight of the chains, and the skeletons were weighed down by the chains. It fell, scattered all over the ground, and has lost its human form.

"You are calm." Ruan Mu's breathless voice suddenly sounded.

Wen Xia looked away from the wreckage, sat back on the spot again, and said helplessly, "I'm actually a little scared, but I'm too embarrassed to speak."

"Hmph." Ruan Mu tugged the iron chain on his wrist, as if he wanted to approach Wen Xia'er, but he was restrained and could not move. He only heard him say: "The 160 seven bones behind me are all I'm a descendant of the Ruan family! That beast has no conscience and exterminated my Ruan family, and now I'm the only one left, Ruan Mu, lingering in this dark place."

Wen Xia said: "Master Ruan spared your life, presumably because of the deep brotherhood, you don't have to be too excited." He was really worried that the man in front of him was too excited to catch his breath, so he didn't say anything. When it's over, it's gone.

"Brotherly love?" Ruan Mu's expression became extremely ferocious after hearing this sentence, "That beast is just a lowly furnace that was raised as a plaything since childhood, what's wrong with him..."

"Enough, I'm not here to listen to you scolding Ruan Yan." Ruan Mu seemed to be a little out of his mind, and would start scolding whenever Ruan Yan was mentioned, but Wen Xia immediately stopped the conversation when he saw that the situation was wrong. Put away the sloppy expression on his face, "If you tell the whole thing, maybe I can really take you out, but if you just want to insult Ruan Yan and only hate, then forgive me." I will not accompany you."

When Ruan Mu heard this, the ferocious expression on his face gradually calmed down, but the hatred still remained in his eyes. After a while, he said, "It's just some old things that are not worth mentioning..."

As Ruan Mu said, Ruan Yan and him are half brothers of the same clan.

Ruan Mu's biological mother is the main wife of Ruan Lianzheng, the owner of Lone Star Manor. After Ruan Mu was born, he should become the legitimate son of the Ruan family. Therefore, Ruan Mu was regarded as the next owner of Lone Star Manor since he was a child. Expect to grow up.

However, Ruan Yan's mother was a concubine who didn't even have a surname, and died of dystocia when she gave birth to Ruan Yan. It seemed that Ruan Yan was destined to become a bastard who could not control her own destiny from the moment she was born.

Although they both came from the same father, but because of the difference between the concubine and the concubine, the circumstances that these two lived in since they were young are one in the sky and the other in the earth.

The Ruan family of Lone Star Zhuang has an unwritten rule. They will raise up the humble children of their own clan as prostitutes and furnaces, and give them to monks from famous families in exchange for the family's reputation in the world of cultivating immortals. reputation and status.

Once a person has tasted the sweetness, they will intensify their efforts and will not know how to control themselves. The same is true for the Ruan family of Lone Star Zhuang.

At first, these transactions were completed quietly and silently, but in the end they gradually developed into a kind of tacit agreement between families.

If you want something, you can exchange it with your own children, which seems to be very equal.

As for Ruan Yan's status, it is reasonable for the Ruan family to become an item in exchange for fame and fortune for the family.

Ruan Yansheng looked like the mother he had never met before, delicate and beautiful, like this since he was a child.

And it seems that it is precisely because of this beautiful skin that he stands out among a group of Ruan children who have been treated as objects since they were young.

Ruan Yan was raised as a stove, and like other children, the daily unchanging medicinal bath and medicinal food are silently changing his body, making his body completely transformed before he grows up. A body for others to absorb spiritual power and play with.

But all these were ignorant to the young Ruan Yan, until he was taken away from Ruan's house by a visiting monk when he was eight years old, and it became the beginning of his nightmare ever since.

Hearing this, Wen Xia understood most of the reasons why Ruan Yan wanted to kill all the descendants of the Ruan family.

He couldn't help but think of Ruan Yan, who was always smiling when he faced everyone at the previous banquet, and he felt a little unspeakable.

He looked at Ruan Mu, and said, "You are from the same lineage of the Ruan family, but you deserve to die."

The Ruan family of Gu Xing Zhuang has been established for at least a hundred years. There are many children with Ruan Yan's background.

But Ruan Mu said: "What do you know as an outsider? This is the rule passed down from our ancestors. Since these lowly descendants bear my surname Ruan, they should be the lintels of my Lone Star Zhuangguang! It is for them Fate is just as it should be!" When he said this, he was a little emotional again, and the iron chains wrapped around his limbs were rattling.

Wen Xiayou casually took a talisman and stuck it on his face, "You make such a big noise, do you want to attract Ruan Yan? Let me also be locked here to be your companion?"

Ruan Mu was frozen, only one mouth could move slightly, "You first remove the talisman..."

Wen Xia said: "I think it's good to be like this now, I won't waste time if I ask you to answer."

Ruan Mu was silent for a long while before saying, "What else do you want to ask?"

Wen Xia'er took out a straw jar from her sleeve, which she found from the man in black who appeared in Mingqiu that day.He opened the jar and quickly threw a fire-falling talisman into it. He didn't pour out the bugs hidden inside until the buzzing sound in the jar disappeared.

Wen Xiaer pointed to the corpses densely packed with bugs on the ground, and asked Ruan Mu, "Do you know what this is?"

Ruan Mu rolled his eyes, and looked at the insect's corpse for a while, "This is my Ruan family's unique insect Gu, why is it in your hands?!"

Wen Xia got the answer, and threw down another fire talisman to burn the bug corpses on the ground to ashes, destroying the corpses and obliterating the traces, "It's a coincidence."

Ruan Mu said: "With so many coincidences, are you really just a passerby?"

Wen Xia was very calm, "It's true."

"I have already told you all about my identity, and now you should untie the chain that hinders me and let me go out!" Ruan Mu said eagerly, "When I go out and take back the position of owner from that bastard, I will be the owner of the village." Thank you very much!"

Wen Xia stood up, looked down at Ruan Mu for a moment, and said, "I still have a question for you."

Ruan Mu said, "Ask!"

Wen Xia said: "There are rumors from the outside world that Ruan Yan was not in Mo Nan on the day the Ruan family was destroyed. I am very curious about how he returned to Gu Xingzhuang without anyone noticing."

All the people in Gu Xing Village are not ordinary people without the power to restrain chickens, they are all monks with some cultivation level, if only Ruan Yan alone can kill all the more than one hundred people in this village , Wen Xia does not believe such words, there must be a helper behind Ruan Yan.

Ruan Mu was silent for a while, and said: "That bastard alone doesn't have such a great ability. In order to get rid of the suspicion of extermination, he naturally took the position of the owner of the villa, so he won't do it himself."

Wen Xia asked, "Who did it for him?"

Ruan Mu seemed to be about to speak, but when he opened his mouth, he coughed violently, and blood couldn't stop gushing out from his mouth.

Wen Xia looked at Ruan Mu's old and decrepit figure, his eyebrows twitched.

This person may not live for a few days.

Wen Xia reached out and took off the body-fixing talisman attached to Ruan Mu's face. Ruan Mu lost the shackles, and his body fell forward as if without support. Let him move half a minute from where he was.

Ruan Mu raised his head, his slightly sunken eyes were covered by a cloudy light, "I don't know... There was a big fire in the village that day, and a man suddenly appeared while we were fighting the fire. Not an opponent. When we wanted to escape, we found that the fire in the village had spread to the exit, and no one in the village could escape. Later... I was locked here, and after seeing the beast, I I understand everything..."

Wen Xia frowned after hearing this, and the strange feeling in her heart surged again, "What are the characteristics of that man?"

Ruan Mu lowered his head to look at the ground, gritted his teeth as if remembering the appearance of the man, "He is a swordsman, and he always wears a mask with green fangs on his face... Also, he is wearing a black suit."

Wen Xia pondered for a while, but didn't think of any person for the time being, and couldn't help but think in his heart that the Gu Xingzhuang case was really an unsolved case, because he knew that Ruan Yan was the mastermind behind the scenes, but the identity of the person who killed the door was still unknown. In a fog.

Da Hei, who was guarding the door for Wen Xia'er, was restless for a long time, tilting his head to look in, as if something was attracting him.

Wen Xia understood in her heart that the only thing that could attract Dahei was the yin energy, but the living soul, and the living energy on Ruan Mu was too weak, on the contrary, there was more dead energy.

If he didn't stand in front of Ruan Mu at this moment, Wen Xia could be sure that Dahei would swoop in and swallow Ruan Mu the next moment.

Wen Xia sighed, but decided to tell Ruan Mu the truth, "Brother Ruan Mu, do you know that your aura is getting weaker and weaker?"

Ruan Mu clenched his fists tightly, his joints creaking, "The beast has been taking the essence from me all these years, making me look like I am not a human nor a ghost..."

The essence of a monk is equal to the lifespan of an ordinary person. Once the essence is scattered, the lifespan of a monk will be shortened accordingly. It seems that Ruan Mu's aging appearance is precisely because the essence has been taken away.

It seems that Ruan Yan has a deep grudge against Ruan Mu, otherwise he wouldn't have left a Ruan Mu behind after killing all the people from the Ruan family's descendants.

Their Wen family only has his bloodline, and he grew up under his father's wing since he was a child, so Wen Xia'er doesn't know much about the distinction between the sons and daughters of other families.

But this does not mean that he is unaware of the open and secret struggles between the concubines of these families. It is not difficult to judge from the tone of Ruan Mu's speech that the other party is a person who extremely despises the identity of the concubine. Ruan Yan lost his mother when he was born, and He is a concubine, and he has probably suffered a lot from Ruan Mu since he was a child.It's no wonder that Ruan Yan now treats Ruan Mu specially.

Wen Xia saw that it was almost time, so he planned to ask Ruan Mu one last question and then go back to bed. He asked, "Does Ruan Yan have a wife?"

When Ruan Mu heard the words, his eyes were full of sarcasm, "He is a lowly furnace, what face does he have to marry a wife?"

Wen Xia nodded, "Thank you for letting me know."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and brought the fire falling talisman back, then turned around and walked along the way he came.

"Where are you going?! Come back! You promised me to let me out, come back!"

"I will give you countless glory and wealth, or do you want something else? Lone Star Manor, Lone Star Manor, I can give it to you too! You can be the owner of the manor! As long as you let me out, you come back..."

"..."

Ruan Mu's dying cry was completely isolated and hidden in the secret passage as the stone wall closed.

Ruan Mu's matter, in the final analysis, is just a family affair of the Ruan family, and Wen Xiaer doesn't want to interfere.

And this Ruan Mu has been locked in the secret road that has not seen the sun for many years. He only thinks about how to escape, kill Ruan Yan, take revenge and regain the position of owner, but he never thinks about repenting for the sins they committed together. .

Wen Xier felt no pity for this, and when he heard Ruan Mu's stupid words, if it wasn't for the fact that the other party was dying, he might have kicked him twice.

However, knowing Ruan Yan's life experience by chance this time did not seem to help him, but it made him sure of one thing, that is, the group of men in black were indeed born in Lone Star Village.

Even so, Wen Xia didn't feel relieved, on the contrary, the weirdness in her heart was even worse.

The fire of the falling fire talisman flickered for a moment, and the light in the secret passage dimmed for a moment, interrupting Wen Xia's thoughts.

He had stayed in this secret passage for quite some time, and if he stayed any longer, something might go wrong, so he temporarily suppressed the strangeness in his heart, took Dahei away, and went back along the way he came.

Perhaps it was because during this period of time that she lived with Jun Lingshen, she rested early at night, and as soon as she got out of the long secret road, Wen Xia'er began to yawn uncontrollably.

When he returned to the courtyard where he lived, sleepiness had almost filled most of his body.

Wen Xia'er crept into the room with his eyelids open, and was about to go straight to the bed when an extra person in the room made his drowsiness go away immediately.

Jun Lingshen was sitting in the room at the moment, his expression was unclear, it seemed that he did not appear out of thin air, but rather sat here and waited on purpose.

Jun Lingchen asked him, "Where did you go?"

Wen Xia rubbed his eyes, "Ah, I'm so sleepy that I've seen Mr. Miaoyinqing's vision, it seems that I have to continue to sleep..." As he spoke, he pretended to be extremely sleepy, half-closed his eyes and shook his head. Walking unsteadily to the bed.

Unexpectedly, before he could sway a few steps, a powerful arm grabbed his wrist tightly and pulled him back.

"Hey, Mr. Miaoyinqing, please slow down..." Wen Xia'er's body was pulled, and the back of her head directly hit Junling's chest.

Wen Xia touched the back of her head, turned around and looked at Jun Lingchen eagerly, and said, "Can we talk on the bed? I really want to sleep."

The very sleepy Wen Xiaer knew that he couldn't pretend, so he chose to lie on the bed and talk to Jun Lingchen.

Jun Lingshen let go of his wrist, "Okay."

Wen Xia got on the bed and slept on the inner side, followed by Jun Lingshen on the outer side.

Wen Xiaer lay on the pillow, groped under the quilt for a while, then turned over and looked at Jun Lingchen who was close at hand, and said, "Let me tell you, I just went out to listen to a bedtime story."

Jun Ling Shen heard the words, and also turned over to face him, "What kind of bedtime story?"

The breath sprayed by Jun Lingshen fell on Wen Xia'er's face while Jun Lingshen was speaking. He was slightly taken aback, shrank his neck and stepped back a few inches, and lowered his voice: "The story of Master Ruan... ..."

The light in Jun Lingshen's eyes dimmed, but he didn't say anything in the end.

The distance was too close, and Wen Xiaer didn't dare to look directly at Jun Lingchen's face blatantly. He casually dropped his gaze on Jun Lingchen's shoulder, and then began to tell the story he heard tonight.

Jun Lingshen listened to him all the time without answering, and Wen Xia'er became more and more sleepy as he talked alone, and finally he didn't know where he was talking, and fell into a deep sleep as soon as he closed his eyes.

When he woke up the next day, Wen Xia'er was still sleepy, and Jun Lingshen was no longer by his side. He wanted to go back to the bed and sleep for a while, but then realized that there were still some things he hadn't found out, so he went Qiang cheered up and dispelled the drowsiness.

Today's weather is very bad, and it is another sunny day with scorching sun.

Wen Xia knocked on Jun Lingshen's door with his little red umbrella, and before he could knock, the door opened by itself. He looked in through the crack of the door and saw Chang Yuandao and Jun Lingshen sitting together, I don't know what to discuss.

He stood at the door and called out, "Jun Miaoyinqing."

Jun Lingchen looked up at him, "Come in."

Wen Xia pushed open the door and walked in, and closed the door after entering.

Chang Yuandao looked up at him and said, "I've never seen such a lazy sword boy like you."

Wen Xia walked up to Jun Lingchen, pretending not to hear Chang Yuandao's teasing.

Chang Yuan said "boring", then changed the subject, and talked about serious business with Jun Lingshen, "I sent a message to Shu Xin last night, and he told me a little about the life experience of Master Ruan."

Jun Ling said seriously: "Second Senior Brother, what is your entrustment?"

Chang Yuandao pondered for a moment, and said: "If it's not against the law, let him live, and let Shuxin come to deal with it."

Jun Lingshen glanced at Wen Xia'er lightly, then withdrew her gaze.

Wen Xia was still thinking about whether he had talked to Jun Lingshen about Ruan Yanmie's lineage from the Ruan family last night, but after this glance, he concluded that Jun Lingshen knew about it.

Jun Ling said solemnly: "Second senior brother is too kind."

Chang Yuandao pressed his forehead, "He has such a temperament, and it is not groundless for people to call him 'Living Bodhisattva'. What's more, Zhuang Ruan was indeed a serious disciple who worshiped under him. well……"

Cheng Shuxin's kind heart and gentle face are well-known in both ways.

It is said that when he was a child, in order to save a hungry and dying tiger, he searched all over Banbi Mountain but failed to find food, so he cut off the meat from his own leg and fed it to the tiger.

After the tiger ate Cheng Shuxin's meat and became alive, it turned around and wanted to swallow Cheng Shuxin in one mouthful. It just happened to be bumped into by the Taoist Yuejian who was traveling outside, so he saved his life.

After Cheng Shuxin was rescued, Master Yue Jian knew the whole story and asked Cheng Shuxin: "Why is this so?"

Cheng Shu said in his heart: "Giving with your body, but for my heart."

Master Yuejian was shocked when he heard these words: a good man will be immortal for thousands of kalpas, this son has a pure mind, buried in this mountain and wild place is really a secret cast of a bright pearl.

Then he brought him back to Yuze Mountain and became his second disciple. Only then did he become the famous Layman Jinglian and Cheng Shuxin who was nicknamed "Living Bodhisattva".

Wen Xia also secretly felt that this Immortal Master really had a heart of a bodhisattva. A few days ago he and Chi Yu met Cheng Shuxin by chance at an inn, and they pretended to be ill in front of Cheng Shuxin. It's just that Cheng Shu, who has good intentions, didn't break his heart.

"Xiao Sijun, hurry up and pour me a cup of tea, I'm really drunk..." Chang Yuandao squinted his eyes and shouted with a listless look.

As soon as Wen Xia heard the word "wine", he suddenly remembered something he had forgotten last night. He looked at Jun Lingchen and asked, "Did you drink the glass of wine that Master Ruan offered you last night?" Where is the discomfort? Headache? Or somewhere else..."

After he left the banquet last night, he was so focused on the weird incident in the corridor that he forgot about Jun Lingshen drinking for him, it really deserves to die.

"You little Sijun, isn't it too late to think about caring about Lingchen?" Chang Yuandao looked at Wen Xia with disdain, "I didn't see you ask me a question after drinking so much wine last night." ..."

Wen Xia didn't have the time to talk to Chang Yuandao, so she was focused on Jun Lingchen at the moment, "Miao Yinqing, tell me something, do you feel unwell after drinking that glass of wine? Huh?"

Jun Lingchen looked at him indifferently, with her thin lips slightly closed, as if she didn't intend to answer.

Although Jun Lingshen has always been a seldom talker, Wen Xia would usually respond to his two or three questions, but now he has asked five or six questions in a row but Jun Lingshen didn't answer, so there must be something wrong in his body.

Wen Xia thought about this, and couldn't care less, walked up to Jun Lingchen, put his palm on Jun Lingchen's forehead, and asked with concern, "Does it hurt here?"

Jun Ling was silent for a while, then shook his head lightly.

Wen Xia moved her hand to Jun Lingchen's neck again, "What about here?"

Jun Lingshen still shook his head.

Wen Xia continued to move down to Jun Lingshen's chest, "Here?"

Jun Lingshen still shook his head.

Wen Xia continued to move down patiently, touching Jun Lingshen's abdomen, "Does it hurt?"

There was some fluctuation in Jun Ling's calm eyes, but soon he lowered his eyes to hide the emotion in them.

He lowered his voice and said, "It doesn't hurt."

"Can you talk?" Wen Xia breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart was still uneasy, "Then where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Jun Ling's eyelashes as dark as ink feathers trembled slightly, and then fell silent again.

Chang Yuandao glanced back and forth at Wen Xiaer and Jun Lingshen with eyes like seeing a ghost, and finally said in a very strange tone, "There is nothing uncomfortable about him..."

"What did you say?" Wen Xia didn't hear too clearly, she turned her head and asked Chang Yuandao.

Jun Ling looked up at Chang Yuandao quietly.

Chang Yuandao's expression became even weirder. After thinking for a while, he said: "Mr. Miaoyinqing of your family is not feeling well anywhere. He is just trying to hold on if he doesn't speak. You must take good care of him these two days..."
