A glance at the spring breeze

There was a long silence all around.

Just listening to that rhinoceros' voice became mysterious.

There is also a gloomy and weird feeling, which is incomprehensible but not repulsive.

"Ruan Lan, do you want to know who made you like this?"

Ruan Lan nodded unexpectedly.

Xichen said: "At that time, when I tell you, you go and kill his whole family, okay?"

Ruan Lan was silent.

"You don't want to know who killed you so far, you don't want to know who killed Ah Shan, and who killed Concubine Wei and then blamed you, you don't want to know who killed your mother Who caused your family to be destroyed, and even ten years later, still refuse to let you go?"

Ruan Lan knelt on the ground, her expression was a little dazed, and then she smiled: "Isn't it you who caused me to come here?"

"You think too highly of me. It is because of the many evil thoughts in your hearts that I have the chance to survive. And you... now have the opportunity to personally get rid of the evil thoughts in the treacherous people's hearts. That is—to kill killed them."

At this time, three or five steps away from Ruan Lan, a beam of light suddenly lit up.A simple and unpretentious jade pendant was floating there, with several strange lines tattooed on it, upon closer inspection, it turned out that the tattoo on it was actually a toad.

"This is……"

"Put it on, and then follow its guidance to find a green sandalwood tree, and then make a contract with it... Then you will know who caused you to come here, and you can take revenge, for your former family, for your former family and die mothers, and the innocents who have suffered because of you."

Ruan Lan took a step forward.

Xichen's words directly hit the most unbearable side in his heart.

"Don't you ever feel guilty? These people... all died because of you. Now that you finally have the opportunity to avenge them, why don't you cherish it?"

He was one step closer to the jade pendant.The outline of the toad became more and more clear, shining dazzlingly under the blue-white light.It was a three-legged golden toad. It is said that the three-legged golden toad can ward off evil spirits and bring luck to people.

"I...I want to avenge them."

Ruan Lan opened her eyes in a daze, staring intently at the jade pendant in front of her.

Ruan Lan stretched out her hand and said in a low voice, "They all died because of me, and I... want to kill those who killed me... those who killed them..."

Ruan Lan suddenly remembered that Taoist Xuan Mo once said a word when he mentioned Xichen.

——"According to the rumors, as long as he plants a towering tree somewhere, there will be people willing to slaughter all the living beings here for him."

Willingly.

He let out a self-deprecating chuckle.

The golden toad began to spit out the golden thread slowly from its mouth, wrapping around his fingers.

Ruan Lan stood still for a moment, lowering his eyes, carefully studying this enchanting jade pendant.

at this time--

He grabbed the jade pendant and threw it to the ground with all his strength.

There was a crisp sound of "thump".The jade pendant was smashed to the ground by Ruan Lan, and the jade pendant was like a hole in the bronze mirror, and the silence and chaos around it began to fall apart.

Light gradually poured in.

"You—" Xi Chen seemed unbelievable, and then he said, "You will regret it, Ruan Lan, you forced them to death—"

The shattered hole seemed to be connected to the dark and turbulent sea, which was out of control.The light in the cave instantly brightened, and Xichen's voice disappeared in an instant.

Reflecting the light, Ruan Lan looked down at her clothes, only to see that his body was covered with the blood he had coughed up earlier.

After he got used to the surrounding light, he began to look around, but he didn't find the exit of this cave.

The light is projected from the top of his head, how can he climb out?

The layout of the cave is very narrow and long, the top of the cave is about five feet high from the ground, and the surrounding stones are all steep, slippery and difficult to climb.

"Ruan Lan—where are you—"

Ruan Lan was startled.

From the direction of Zhengdong, he heard Yin Jian's voice.

His Majesty?Your Majesty, how could he—

He thought, maybe this is another trick of Xichen.

Still stay here and wait and see.

However, even with such thorough, meticulous and foolproof concerns hidden in his heart, his rationality was a step behind after all.

Maybe even he himself didn't know, at this moment, for what impulsive reason, he began to slap the stone wall, raised his head and shouted.

"Your Majesty, I am here!"

Yin Jian in the east seemed to have heard his shout, and orderly footsteps began to slowly move towards his direction.

"Ruan Lan?"

Finally, the sound of Yin Jian's footsteps stopped outside the cave, and there seemed to be only a wall between the two.

"Your Majesty! I am here."

Ruan Lan didn't stop hitting the hands on the stone wall, and those hands were already flushed by him.

"Ruan Lan? Where are you?" Yin Jian suddenly seemed to be unable to distinguish his voice again, and his steps began to circle in front of the stone wall.

Yin Jian said to himself: "It's strange. Obviously the mark on his body shows that it's here...how can I not find him..."

Ruan Lan understood now, it turned out that Yin Jianfang didn't hear his cry at all, and only followed the brand marks on his body to find here.

Could it be because there is some mechanism enchantment here, only the people inside can hear the sound outside, but the people outside know nothing about this place.

A sense of powerlessness suddenly appeared in his heart, which made him unable to breathe.Ruan Lan sat down with her back against the slippery stone wall, her gaze wandering through the cave.

No, he must find a way to get out.

What to do... The stone wall on the ground is solid and hard without any gaps, and there is only one way above the head——

A ray of inspiration flashed in his mind.

By the way - Qi Mo once taught him the lightness kung fu!

"Ruan Lan." Yin Jian still shouted in his ears, "Ruan Lan, where are you!"

The stone walls on both sides are steep and narrow, and the structure inside the cave is in a straight shape.After searching for a long time, Ruan Lan finally found the only two or three protrusions on the smooth stone wall that she could settle on the way.He roughly estimated in his mind the number of steps needed to fly out from the start of lightness kung fu and the trajectory of lightness kung fu, then stood at the front of the cave and began to silently recite the mental formulas Qi Mo taught him.

"Ruan Lan?" After waiting here for a while, Yin Jian seemed ready to leave and search elsewhere.

There can be no further delay.Ruan Lan thought to herself.

He stepped on the ground with one foot, turned over and jumped onto the first flat stone wall, with his toes stepping on the pothole below which was only about half an inch long.

However, maybe it was because the potholes were too smooth, or maybe it was because Ruan Lan had only learned half-learned lightness kung fu, so he was not good at learning skills and couldn't use it handily——when he stepped on the first stone wall, he lost his focus. fell steadily.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Before his head fell to the ground, he supported it with his palm, jumped backwards, and stabilized his body.But this support also affected the original pain in his body, and a burst of swelling and tearing spread along his chest to his whole body, slowly rippling.

When he was in the most pain, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see anything.

The heart was beating loudly and fast, and the eyes, ears, mouth and nose felt hot and blood-congested.

"Ruan Lan?!"

He heard Yin Jian still calling him, but the voice was a few steps away from before.

Yin Jian is leaving!

Can't go on like this, he must climb to the top of the cave as soon as possible.

Enduring the ongoing pain in her body, Ruan Lan put her feet on the ground and jumped up again. This time, she successfully stepped on the first stone, and also successfully climbed the second stone wall, the third...the fourth...

The sky is bright at the entrance of the cave, and the sky that can be seen is getting wider and wider.

At this moment, he seemed to be accompanied by white clouds and a breeze.

Finally set foot on the top of the cave!

At the moment when she could see far away, Ruan Lan shouted into the valley below her.

"Your Majesty! Ruan Lan is here!"

When Yin Jian heard the sound, his body paused, and he suddenly looked up.

After Ruan Lan yelled this sentence, he probably exhausted all the strength in his body, and the pain in his internal organs recurred, and the breath circulating in the meridians was quietly withdrawn, and he fell straight to the ground at the highest point.

Seeing that Ruan Lan's situation was not good, Yin Jian jumped into the air.

Clothes fluttered, Yin Jian's hem was fanned by the wind.

The ends of their hair seemed to be tangled together.

Yin Zhen caught Ruan Lan, and when he was holding him, he accidentally touched Ruan Lan's arm, and heard a "hiss", and Ruan Lan's expression began to become extremely painful.

"what happened to you?"

"I--my hand bones seem to be broken just now."

"What's going on? Ruan Lan, where did you go before? Why did you disappear suddenly?" Yin Xian was also very anxious, so he asked a series of doubts.

"I... It's a long story. I was trapped in a stone cave just now, and I escaped with great difficulty."

The two fell to the ground lightly, Yin Jian placed Ruan Lan carefully on the ground, and then looked in the direction of Ruan Lan.

"Where is the cave?" Yin Jian asked.

After hearing this, Ruan Lan was surprised, and also looked in that direction.

As expected, everything was flat, except for some two-inch-high weeds growing in the crevices of the stone road.

Ruan Lan frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know where this is?"

Yin Jian shook his head: "I only know that this is a deserted island, and I don't know the rest."

Ruan Lan originally wanted to ask, since Yin Jian didn't know where this place was, how did he find it here, but after thinking about it, this question probably involved his brand.As for this matter, Yin Jian would not bring it up, and might find other excuses to evade it; even if Yin Jian confessed on his own initiative, it would still be a scar on Ruan Lan after all, and asking about it would only increase embarrassment.

What's more, the most important thing right now is how to get out, and it's not too late to ask these questions after I get out.

Ruan Lan said: "This place is very weird, ahem...Your Majesty, please be more careful."

Yin Jian nodded, and said: "I have set off fireworks flares to notify my subordinates, I believe they will be able to find this place soon."

Ruan Lan was resting on the ground, and suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a mound of dirt not far away. There seemed to be a board buried under the mound, with only one corner exposed.

"Your Majesty...ahem...there may be some clues buried under that mound."

Yin Xian walked over and dug out the things in the mound neatly.

Sure enough, it was a board, but it had been folded in half, leaving only a part.

Ruan Lan saw that Yin Jian's face suddenly became silent.

"Your Majesty, what is written on it?"

Yin Xian walked back to Ruan Lan and put the board up in front of Ruan Lan.

"Wu County..."

Even though the cursive characters above Wu were missing, both of them could guess that the board said "Wu County"!

Yin Xian said: "Could it be that... this deserted island overgrown with weeds is the Wu County that is missing from the household registration files, but..."

Ruan Lan continued: "But——in the jurisdiction of Linzhou, there has never been an island!"

Probably because she was too emotional, Ruan Lan began to cough violently, Yin Jian quickly squatted beside him, and said, "Ruan Lan, don't worry about it, I will heal your wounds now."

"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty."

Supported by Yin Jian to sit up, Ruan Lan looked around.

There were some stones lying on the ground.

There are no birds or beasts, and no flowers or trees other than weeds.

Wu County...

Could it be that Wu County, like the Zhang family in Qiumang Mountain, suffered a brutal massacre?
