Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

"Good, good, good!"

Xie Xuanqing responded three times in a row. The smile on his handsome face was full of relief, but also concealed a bit of bitterness. He looked at Ruan Qiu and nodded with satisfaction again, "Since you called me uncle, what's the matter in the future? The uncle will take care of you!"

Ruan Qiu recognized that Xie Xuanqing, the uncle, did not want to find a backer for him, but was grateful for his help to himself and Yin Wuchen, and did not dampen his interest, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, uncle."

Xie Xuanqing's heart was quite happy when he called the master uncle, and the haze left by the heart knot many years ago was swept away, but when he saw Ruan Qiu's belly that had not yet appeared, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Your belly Is the child of Yin Wuchen?"

Ruan Qiu subconsciously protected his abdomen, then thought about it, everyone knew about his having a child, and it was not surprising that Xie Xuanqing knew about it.

It's just that every time he talks about the child with others, he still feels a little uncomfortable.

Xie Xuanqing knew that Ruan Qiu still didn't trust him, so a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and then she straightened her face, showing a chill, "I knew Yin Wuchen many years ago. In the past, although he was a bit cold-tempered, he was not bad at all." He is upright and has good sword skills, so I appreciate him quite a bit, but now...Ruan Qiu, tell Master, is he the one who persecuted you?"

"No!" Ruan Qiu was afraid that Xie Xuanqing would misunderstand, so he shook his head quickly, his cheeks flushed slightly, "Don't worry, Master, he didn't force me, we are in love with each other, and we have already decided for life, in my heart, Master Already my Taoist companion..."

He lowered his head a little shyly, and couldn't help peeking at Xie Xuanqing's expression, coughed lightly and said: "In the years of Xuanjizong, my brother used to take care of me, but I didn't know until the master accepted me as a disciple. Shizun was my lifesaver when I was young. Shizun has always been very kind to me. He knew that I was not good at swordsmanship, but he tried every means to tailor swordsmanship for me. He also took good care of me in the past few years. I am still young , but will not mistake kindness for liking."

After expressing his inner thoughts, he felt much more at ease, with a gentle look on his brows and eyes, he caressed his stomach and said, "Master, I don't know something. I have experienced a lot in the past few years when I met Master. No matter what he will be like in the future, Whether it is a sword master or not, I will never let go of his hand. He is not only my master, but also the Taoist partner I recognize, and the other father of the child. Maybe I am pregnant, which is a strange thing in the eyes of many people. However, this child carries a lot of expectations from Master and I at the same time, Master, I will give birth to him, and together with Master we will raise him well."

Xie Xuanqing was moved by his seriousness for a moment, "I don't think this child is a freak. Since you have identified Yin Wuchen, the uncle has nothing to say. But Ruan Qiu, if he bullies you in the future, Zixiao Palace will always welcome you." You father and son."

His original intention was to let Ruan Qiu return to Zixiao Palace. After all, Ruan Qiu's parents are both disciples of Zixiao Palace, but now Ruan Qiu has a better home, protected by Xuanjizong, and they are still strangers , Xie Xuanqing didn't say this.

Ruan Qiu was very grateful for his kindness, smiled and nodded, "Thank you, Uncle."

Xie Xuanqing felt ashamed of Ruan Qiu and his parents, knowing that there were a lot of things he probably didn't have the right to say to Ruan Qiu, but as Ruan Qiu's elder, he also had to think for Ruan Qiu, "You and Yin Wuchen haven't formally married yet. Dao couple, right? Although it is not uncommon for master and apprentice to get married nowadays, it is always unavoidable to attract people's tongue, the child in your womb is about to grow up, and it is time to get married."

When it comes to getting married, Ruan Qiu has an idea, "Uncle Master said that we have all thought about it. When Master gets better, we will probably get married after we return to Xuanjizong. Master has promised me that when the time comes, We can invite some relatives and friends to do a small job.”

Xie Xuanqing thought it was inappropriate, "Now that Yin Wuchen is seriously injured and his cultivation level has plummeted, it is indeed not appropriate to have a big wedding. Once his injury gets out, the former enemies will definitely move around, but after all, it is your lifelong event, so it can't be too simple. "

"Not bad!"

Li Yu led a group of people over, and he didn't know how long he had been eavesdropping on him. As soon as he came, he picked up Xie Xuanqing's words, "Ruan Qiu, you are also Gu's cousin after all, the only nephew of my Cang Yaosheng Empress, and Yin Jiansheng How can your marriage be casual?"

Ruan Qiu looked back, and saw that everyone who had just spoken in front of the building was there, and he didn't even need to think about it, he knew it was Li Yu who led it.

"You overheard us?"

Didn't everyone hear what he said just now that he likes Master?

Ruan Qiu blushed with shame on the spot.

Li Yu was blunt and arrogant, "Gu heard that Palace Master Xie is your uncle, and Gu is your cousin. We are all family members. I just want to say hello to Palace Master Xie." He said and nodded to Xie Xuanqing. Nodding, "Thank you, Palace Master, I have long admired you."

Although Li Yu is young and his cultivation is not high, his status is high.

Xie Xuanqing also gave him face, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is the nephew of Fourth Junior Sister, Cousin Ruan Qiu, so we are indeed our own family. Your Majesty's thoughts coincide with mine. Ruan Qiu, you might as well leave it to me to marry you." Let's, let's talk to Yin Wuchen, whether it's for you or your unborn child, the marriage should not be simple."

Ruan Qiuxin said that his master's injury hasn't healed yet, how could he have the heart to prepare for the marriage?

Before he could open his mouth, Li Yu echoed: "What Palace Master Xie said is very true! Ruan Qiu, leave this matter to us. Don't worry, we will never let you and my eldest nephew be wronged, let alone your matter. If it’s not done well, I don’t have the face to tell my queen.”

Tang Xun in the crowd also said: "Then we'll wait for the wedding wine."

Ruan Qiu couldn't help laughing, "Why does shopkeeper Tang come to join in the fun?"

Tang Xun glanced at Song Yantai, and said: "There is nothing wrong here, we should go back to Shifang City, I don't know when we will meet next time, no matter when your marriage will be held, you have to send us an invitation card , I must go!"

Song Yantai said: "Xiao Tang is right."

Ruan Qiu watched them sing together, feeling helpless and surprised, "Are you going back? When do you plan to leave?"

Song Yantai smiled lightly and said: "Xiao Tang's injury needs to go back and rest slowly. After all, this place is not as good as Shifang City. Not to mention Shifang City's many affairs, he is also worried about Jinxiufang. The journey is far away. We plan to leave today. Farewell, everyone."

Tang Xun didn't take it seriously, "My injury can be healed anywhere, but I still have to thank Mrs. Yue, I have relaxed a lot these days."

Li Yu also said with emotion: "I have delayed for so long, and I have to return to the palace as soon as possible. Before I leave, I must finalize your marriage!"

Ruan Qiu originally wanted to bid farewell to Song Yantai and Tang Xun, after all, they had experienced life and death together, but this Baijiazhai was simple, and he couldn't prepare anything by himself, so he had to wait until the next time. Hearing Li Yu's words, he It's even more of a headache.

Xie Xuanqing and Li Yu hit it off and wanted to talk to Yin Wuchen about their marriage. Song Yantai and Tang Xun did leave after saying goodbye to Mo Hanshui and his wife and Yin Wuchen at noon. thing.

After sending the two away, Xie Xuanqing and Li Yu found Yin Wuchen as expected.

Li Yu brought him to the venue in Lanzhu Town, Xie Xuanqing came alone, and Mo Hanshui and Zhangjiao Li also stayed to support Yin Wuchen.

The five saints met, and the scene was quite serious.

And Ruan Qiu was dragged away by Axi who was ordered by Li Yu, and was called by Yin Wuchen to help Mrs. Yue decoct medicine, one head and two big ones.

When it came to dusk, several people dispersed.

When they went out, everyone was smiling, but Yin Wuchen still didn't say much.

In the evening, Li Yu asked someone to set up a banquet. He was clearly young and low in cultivation, so he got along very well with Xie Xuanqing.Ruan Qiu was at a loss and helped Yin Wuchen to sit down, and a few people picked up a bowl full of vegetables, and he didn't even have time to talk, only knowing that his marriage must not be taken lightly.

After dinner, Ruan Qiu helped Yin Wuchen back to his room, and Ruan Qiu secretly asked him about it. Yin Wuchen smiled, and said: "With Brother Mo and the teacher here, Xie Xuanqing only hopes that Xuanjizong will not treat you badly, and Cang Yao has more rules. , Li Yu talked about choosing an auspicious day. I can't solve the rest now, and when the day is chosen, Li Yu and senior brother will notify us."

Ruan Qiu said distressedly: "It seems that our marriage will definitely not be too simple."

Yin Wuchen also said a good word for Xie Xuanqing and others, "Compared with this, they care more about your weak crown ceremony. Xiaoqiu, your birthday is in late autumn, and your child will probably be born around September. Sword Trial Conference."

Ruan Qiu touched his stomach when he heard the words, and blinked, "Guanli?"

Yin Wuchen rubbed his long hair, with a gentle smile in his eyes, "Yes, by then, Xiao Qiu will really grow up."

Yin Wuchen didn't tell Ruan Qiu, they actually said a lot, for example, Xie Xuanqing hoped to attend Ruan Qiu's coronation ceremony as an elder, Li Yu did the same, and Mo Hanshui and Li Sansi helped Yin Wuchen, a younger brother, to make a lot of decisions .

"It's so troublesome." Ruan Qiu couldn't help but blush. If all goes well, the child should be born before his birthday, and I just hope not to hit him.

Yin Wuchen smiled and coaxed him for a while, it was everyone's idea to get married before the child was born, but everyone had some differences with Ruan Qiu's idea, but due to various reasons, there was really no way to make a big deal, Yin Wuchen was actually regretful.

He regrets not letting everyone know that Ruan Qiu is married to him.

Lan Tui is proficient in divination and choosing an auspicious day, and he gave a few good dates. Finally, Mo Hanshui discussed with Li Yu and Xie Xuanqing and the others to decide on the wedding date, which will be in early May.

It is the end of February now, and there are only a little more than two months left. By that time, Ruan Qiu's belly should be big, but it will not be inconvenient to walk. Make time to come and celebrate.

It also happened to avoid the sword test meeting.

After setting the date, Li Yu, Lan Tui, and A Xi took a group of guards in the palace back to Cang Yao. After all, a country cannot live without a king, even if Li Yu is just a little emperor who has not yet fully controlled the government. It's always unsafe.

After a few days of recuperation, Yin Wuchen's health improved a lot, and he could walk freely, and he didn't feel breathless after walking two steps like before.Ruan Qiu decided to go to the ghost city again, because the corpse puppets in the ghost city were still there, and Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi also followed.

Seeing Yin Wuchen's injury, Mo Hanshui and Mrs. Yue could go back slowly on their own. They left Baijiazhai yesterday and went to Zixiao Palace first. They promised that Xie Xuanqing would go out to see a doctor for Yan Buping, but Xie Xuanqing did not go with them.

Xie Xuanqing wanted to visit the graves of Ruan Lingzhao and Gu Lanjun, and stayed to help Ruan Qiu a little. When Ruan Qiu was in the ghost town, he and Yin Wuchen would take him to Xingluo Town.

As for Li Sansi, the head teacher Li of the Xuanji Sect stayed behind. Being in the sect, he also stayed behind under the pretext of protecting his junior.

With the protection of the sword saint and the gun saint, Ruan Qiu, who entered the ghost city with his seriously injured master, suddenly felt safe, but since he knew that he was the blood of the Nie family, he inherited the memory of the resentful soul of the Nie family. Ghost towns will no longer be scary.

This time, I came here to see Ruan Qinglu, and to return the Yunshuizhu back.

Ruan Qiu felt a little uneasy. He didn't know what happened to Ruan Qinglu after he helped them hold Nie Shaoze that night, and he didn't dare to think about it.

The four of them took advantage of the daylight to enter the ghost town, and the corpse puppet hadn't appeared yet, so it was considered safe.Walking on the empty and deserted streets of the ghost town, Li Sansi is no stranger, "I remember that I also came here many years ago. At that time, this city was still called Mingzhou City."

Because the head teacher once praised Ruan Qiu's beauty, Yin Wuchen never let her get close to Ruan Qiu. Hearing this, Ruan Qiu was a little curious, and didn't dare to provoke this strange head teacher who was not weak at all. Only Xie Xuanqing responded. said a word.

"Things are different."

Li Sansi nodded in agreement, looked at Xie Xuanqing in a blink of an eye, and asked with a smile: "Old Xie, I remember you have a younger brother, who is from the Nie family?"

These words made Ruan Qiu even more curious, is the junior brother that the head teacher mentioned his father?

Xie Xuanqing was a little stunned at the beginning, glanced at Ruan Qiu, and said without changing expression: "Where did Zhangjiao Li hear such rumors?"

Li Sansi squinted at the ruins of the city, and said lazily, "It is rumored that I have always been well-informed. If I hadn't been able to defeat my brothers back then, would I need to take over the position of suzerain?" She curved her lips and smiled, Looking at Yin Wuchen, "Junior brother, you can't beat me now, why don't you think about it, how about raising your position and becoming a head teacher?"

Ruan Qiu was dumbfounded. It turns out that the reason why the head teacher is the head teacher is because of this inside story?

The key is that his master is still indifferent, "Do you think I can be a teacher like this?"

Li Sansi looked at him, holding his heart in pain, "Unfortunately, you are too weak now, how many years do I have to be the head teacher? Why don't you work hard and get promoted as soon as possible?"

Yin Wuchen gave her a trick, "What do you think of the Daishan Lord of Lingxi Mountain?"

Li Sansi had some thoughts, but quickly shook his head again and again, "No, Old Xu is too strong, he can't hold it up, it has to be you."

Ruan Qiu watched his master and the head teacher push the position of the head teacher back and forth, and finally came to his senses, it was really hard to say.

Fortunately, Xie Xuanqing quickly interrupted them, "Where did Headmaster Li hear this kind of gossip, can you tell me?"

Li Sansi spread his hands and said, "Don't worry when people die, no one will know. Since the death of the ghost mother, the last blood of the Nie family is gone. I am also loyal. How can I sell my family?"

Xie Xuanqing relaxed a lot, and looked back at Ruan Qiu, "That's right, my third junior brother Ruan Lingzhao is indeed from the Nie family."

Ruan Qiu looked at him, then looked at Li Sansi, and finally, looked at his master with confused eyes, did everyone know?

Yin Wuchen pressed his hand and shook his head lightly, looked at the two of them and said, "You all knew that Xiaoqiu's father is Mrs. Ruan's son."

Xie Xuanqing said: "Not only do I know that the third junior brother was sent to Zixiao Palace by Mrs. Ruan herself. At that time, the third junior brother was not yet full moon, and my master took in the third junior brother because of the good relationship with the Nie family, but because Mrs. Ruan I don't want the third junior brother to be involved in the hatred between the Nie family and the Blood Demon Sect. The third junior brother has always grown up at the foot of Zixiao Palace Mountain, and I am the one who takes care of the third junior brother on behalf of the master and watches the third junior brother grow up. I've always been aware of his background."

Li Sansi shook his head with a smile, "I had some guesses at first. I heard that my little nephew is a descendant of the Nie family, so I immediately thought of your third junior brother. I still remember that when I first met him, I praised him. The appearance, I didn't expect it, it's a pity."

Ruan Qiu couldn't bear it this time, and asked eagerly: "The head teacher has seen my father!"

Li Sansi looked at him with a smile, "Of course, your master and Lao Xie and his master competed every now and then, and the master taught me that I had known Lao Xie a long time ago when I was young. Little nephew doesn't know, Zixiao Palace None of the disciples are mediocre, especially the disciples under the old sword master, do you think Lao Xie is handsome? Your father is not worse than Lao Xie!"

Ruan Qiu yearned for it, and looked at Xie Xuanqing. When he first saw Xie Xuanqing, he thought the uncle was good-looking, but he didn't know that according to the head teacher, his father, whom he had never met, looked no less than the uncle.

It is true that Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi have met for the first time, and he has a certain understanding of her nonchalant temperament. He didn't care about these comments on her appearance, but seeing Ruan Qiu's expectant expression, he was here. Be more patient.

"The third younger brother looks like his mother. Have you seen Mrs. Ruan? I met her twice. At that time, I was still very young..."

Xie Xuanqing said with a sigh, "The first time I saw her, when the third junior brother was not yet full moon, Mrs. Ruan personally handed the third junior brother to the master. The second time, when she came back from the Blood Demon Sect, the third junior brother was already ten years old. I took her to see the third junior brother, but she just took a look from a distance and left. After the third junior brother found out, he begged me to accompany him to the ghost town, but unfortunately..."

Li Sansi's smile faded, "Many people know about this matter. After the fall of the Blood Demon Sect, Mrs. Ruan was backlashed by the Tianshui Art and disappeared for a while. But some people saw her appearing near the ghost town and guessed that she was in Before dying, I went back to the ghost town."

Ruan Qiu felt disappointed and remained silent for a long time.

He had met Ruan Qinglu, and by chance, he had heard about it from their short conversation.He still remembers his grandmother looking tenderly at the jade sculpture in her hand, and said that the last time she saw her son was when he was ten years old.

It turned out that her son had also chased him to the ghost town, but he failed to see her again.

Feeling a burst of warmth from the palm of his hand, Ruan Qiu pulled himself out of this sadness, and shook his head at Yin Wuchen, "I just thought of my grandmother and father, and suddenly I felt a little sad."

Xie Xuanqing said softly: "We won't talk about those old things."

Li Sansi also said: "Yes, it's all over."

Ruan Qiu smiled and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, I still want to hear more about my parents' old stories. But right now, I want to go to the Nie family cemetery to see if I can see my grandmother again."

Yin Wuchen said: "I will accompany you."

The cloud water beads are still in his dantian.

Ruan Qiu nodded.

Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi didn't mention what happened back then, they just sent them to the foot of the Nie family cemetery and let them go up the mountain by themselves.

Ruan Qiu knew that they were avoiding suspicion.In fact, not everyone wanted Tianshui Jue or Yunshuizhu, and Ruan Qiu was lucky enough to meet several of them. Xie Xuanqing knew about the old affairs of the Nie family, and Li Sansi also knew about it, but neither of them had the idea of ​​using Yunshuizhu.

When taking Yin Wuchen's hand up the mountain, Ruan Qiu sighed softly, "It turns out that the uncle already knew about it, no wonder he never asked."

Yin Wuchen said: "When I joined the Xuanji Sect, I was the youngest junior brother among my peers. Although they have different masters, they can be regarded as being brought up by Senior Brother Mo. In Zixiao Palace, Xie Xuanqing is probably the same as Senior Brother Mo. I and He doesn't have any deep friendship, but the brothers have some friendship with Xie Xuanqing, they all said that Xie Xuanqing is a trustworthy person."

In fact, after getting along these few days, Ruan Qiu also felt Xie Xuanqing's concern, "I know that the master is not bad, but I just don't know if my mother blamed him when she left Zixiao Palace, and the master has always let go of him." Let’s not let this matter go.”

Yin Wuchen also sighed: "The master who was betrayed by his junior, slandered and killed his closest relatives, and the juniors and sisters around him died in the end. In this desperate situation, Xie Xuanqing can still support Zixiao Palace. In fact, we are far better than He's much luckier."

Ruan Qiu fell silent.

When the two of them were about to reach the bloody pit, Yin Wuchen took out the cloud water beads in his dantian and handed them to Ruan Qiu without hesitation.

"Go, I'll wait for you here."

There is the Nie family's sealing formation in the secret realm, and Yin Wuchen knows that he can't get in.

Ruan Qiu took the Yunshuizhu, glanced at Yin Wuchen, turned and walked towards the blood pit.

The bloody pit full of bones still had the traces of the thunder that had been burned by the sky. It spread to the surrounding mountains and forests, and it was already scorched black, and those demon vines that once trapped Nie Shaoze had been burned into coke and filled the air. On the bones at the bottom of the pit.

Standing on the bloody pit, Ruan Qiu raised his hand, and the clouds and water droplets slowly floated into the air, and pure and rich spiritual energy emerged. Under the reflection of the spiritual light, the scorched roots gradually returned to life, and green buds emerged, which had been accumulated for many years at the bottom of the pit. The resentment was also gradually melted away.

After a while, the resentment at the bottom of the pit dissipated, and the cloud and water beads flew back to Ruan Qiu's hand, the light dimmed a little, and then stopped moving.

Ruan Qiu was a little surprised, and tried to control the cloud water bead to return to the cloud water wall, but there was no response several times. He wondered if the cloud water bead had completely left the cloud water wall and could not go back?

He frowned, stepped on the stone steps covered by carbon ash and mud, and walked towards the black stone pillar at the bottom of the blood pit. After arriving under the stone pillar, he still stood there.

How could this be?

Ruan Qiu squeezed the cloud water droplet, looked at the altar under his feet many years ago in confusion, tried to bite his fingertips, gathered a spiritual force, and flicked the bloody fingertips onto the altar.The Nie family's remnant array engraved on the black stone pillar still reacted, but after a moment of light, it returned to calm. Ruan Qiu stood there in a daze, suddenly a heavy sadness welled up in his heart.

Not only the Yunshuizhu couldn't return to the Yunshui Wall, even Ruan Qiu couldn't enter the secret realm where the Yunshui Wall was located.He couldn't sense the Yunshui Wall with the Cloud Water Bead, and he couldn't see Ruan Qinglu anymore. Could it be that the Yunshui Wall has been destroyed by Nie Shaoze?

That Ruan Qinglu...

Ruan Qiu's breath was stagnant, he held the cloud water drop tightly, and looked around the blood pit in bewilderment.

Without the support of the Yunshui Wall, then, did the remnant soul of the grandmother also disappear?

Half an hour later, Ruan Qiu hadn't returned yet, and Yin Wuchen, who was meditating in the forest, couldn't wait any longer. When he found the blood pit, he saw Ruan Qiu sitting on the stone steps covered with gravel under the black stone pillar, His eyes were pinching the cloud drops in his hand absently.

Yin Wuchen heaved a sigh of relief, and walked down the bloody pit, until he was almost at Ruan Qiu's side, Ruan Qiu had a slight reaction, raised his head, looked at him with slightly red eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Master."

"Ah."

Yin Wuchen responded, seeing that the cloud and water beads were still there, he knew that Ruan Qiu's trip might not be going well, and seeing that Ruan Qiu seemed to be in a bad mood, he also sat down beside Ruan Qiu.

"What are you thinking about?"

Ruan Qiu leaned on his shoulder, held up the cloud and water beads, looked at the golden runes in the penetrating jade beads through the sky, his eyes were full of bewilderment, "Master, it seems that grandma is not here anymore. But I haven't told you yet." She, dad actually came to look for her."

Yin Wuchen paused, gently raised his arms to embrace Ruan Qiu, and comforted him: "Mrs. Ruan may just be asleep, as she told you before, she just fell asleep in the wall of clouds and water. Maybe she is too Tired, just want to rest for a while."

Ruan Qiu's eyes lit up, she sat up slowly, and looked at Yin Wuchen excitedly, "Master is right, grandma just fell asleep, she will definitely wake up! Then, can we wait for her?"

Yin Wuchen smiled lightly: "Of course, we can wait as long as you want, but we must send a letter to the head teacher first."

Ruan Qiu just laughed and nodded heavily.He had been blaming himself all the time, and just now he was thinking that his grandmother did it to help him. If at that time, he hadn't left there, and his grandmother hadn't made a move, wouldn't everything be fine?

Did he take away the power supporting the grandmother's remnant soul in the Yunshui Wall?

Although there was a rational voice in his heart telling him that Yunshuizhu couldn't perceive the existence of Yunshui Wall, and the Nie family's magic circle was useless, and he might not be able to see Ruan Qinglu's remnant soul again, but when Yin Wuchen said this, he couldn't help it. There is hope.

Ruan Qiu thought, wait a minute, maybe grandma will come out when it gets dark.

Because Ruan Qiu was always worried, Yin Wuchen was worried, so he stayed with him, and sent a letter to Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi who were waiting at the foot of the mountain. Neither of them urged them, but the night passed peacefully after all.

Until the morning dew covered the branches, nothing happened on this altar, and the clouds and water drops did not respond overnight.

Ruan Qiu sat on the stone steps in a daze, and hadn't spoken for a long time.Yin Wuchen began to regret that he shouldn't have coaxed him like that yesterday. If there was no hope then, he wouldn't be more disappointed now. He hesitated for a long time, and didn't know how to speak.

Ruan Qiu was the last one to speak first.

He waited all night, and also calmed down all night, his heart was filled with guilt, he regretted that he didn't look back that night, but when he watched the sun rise and saw the pale face of Yin Wuchen beside him, he woke up, and it took a long time Let out a long breath.

"Let's go."

Ruan Qiu handed the Yunshuizhu to Yin Wuchen, with a tired look on his brows.

"Master is still injured. Maybe this time, grandma will need to sleep for a long time to recover. We can come again next time."

Ruan Qiu comforted herself in this way, forced a smile, "At that time, we can still bring our children with us."

Yin Wuchen stared at Ruan Qiu, gently held his hand, "Xiao Qiu, I will always be with you, you can come back whenever you want."

Ruan Qiu suppressed his smile, and took another look at the eerie blood pit.

"Master, I want to erect a monument for my grandmother."

When the two went down the mountain, they saw Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi meditating inside the boundary marker of the cemetery from a distance. They waited on the mountain all night, and Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi also waited at the foot of the mountain all night. quiet.

As soon as the few people met, Yin Wuchen told them about Ruan Qiu's plan. He heard that the remains of the ancestors of the Nie family would be collected and buried together with a monument for his grandmother and grandfather. Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi had no objections, and the four of them discussed it and went Nie's family.

However, because too many years had passed, none of them had ever seen Nie Pingyuan, the young master of the Nie family, and could not find his bones for a while. Complete skeleton.

When they arrived at Nie's house, they split up. Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi helped collect the remains of Nie's family. Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen went to the wedding room of Nie Pingyuan and Mrs. Ruan, intending to find their old things and build a tomb for them.

Few people have visited this wedding room in recent years, and many of the old things of Nie Pingyuan and Ruan Qinglu were kept, including the clothes in the cabinet and the clothes and toys they prepared for the unborn child. Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen packed some.

Ruan Qiu still felt that something was missing, and with a flash of inspiration, she went back to the makeup box and took out a box under the cabinet in the corner.

Yin Wuchen recognized at a glance that this was the box that stored the letters between Nie Pingyuan and Ruan Qinglu for many years, and he understood Ruan Qiu's intentions, "These letters are the testimony of their love, and in this Nie's house, they are also old things that can best replace them."

Ruan Qiu nodded silently, pressed his fingertips on the side of the box, wanted to open it but gave up.He picked up the box, turned to face Yin Wuchen, "Let's go, and bury these on the mountain just now."

Maybe one day, when the remnant soul of my grandmother wakes up, I can take another look at the letters she left with her husband many years ago.

This joint burial tomb was dug by Ruan Qiu himself, and the stele was carved by himself. It is next to the blood pit hiding the cloud and water wall, and it is very close to Ruan Qinglu's remnant soul. This mountain is the cemetery of Nie's family. Excuse me, Yin Wuchen has been on the sidelines to help.

Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen stayed on the mountain for a while, and when they returned to Nie's house, Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi had collected all the remains of Nie's family and buried them on the hill behind the Nie's ancestral hall. It's not completely dark out of the ghost town.

Speaking of which, when Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi collected the remains, a strange thing happened. The bones of Nie Shaoze and the ghost mother Nie Ruyi disappeared.

Ruan Qiu was a little surprised, Yin Wuchen also suspected that Nie Wuhuan came back later and took away the bones of Nie Shaoze and Nie Ruyi.

Several people were sleeping outside the city, and talking about this matter around the bonfire, they all felt a little bit embarrassed.

Nie Shaoze and Nie Ruyi are dead, and their souls have been dispersed. The person who cares about their bones will probably only be Nie Wuhuan in this world.

After dawn, several people really left the ghost town and headed for Xingluo Town.

Yin Wuchen is injured, so it is not suitable for a long journey, but who are Xie Xuanqing and Li Sansi, the palace masters of the two first sects on the north and south coasts, can they lack the flying magic weapon?It only took one night for Yunzhou to arrive at Xingluo Town, and arrived at Tingyun Temple at dawn.

Xie Xuanqing was very concerned about the place where Ruan Qiu lived since childhood. After seeing such a small and old Taoist temple, she felt more and more distressed for Ruan Qiu.After tidying up in the Cloud Stopping Temple and bringing joss sticks, Ruan Qiu took them up the mountain to pay homage to their parents.

It was not the first time Yin Wuchen came back, and he consciously accompanied Ruan Qiu to light the incense candles.

When the two were ready, they looked back, and Xie Xuanqing was still standing in front of the tombstone, staring at the two names on the tombstone with absent-minded eyes.

Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen looked at each other, got up and walked towards him, "Master?"

"I'm fine." Xie Xuanqing suddenly came back to her senses, and looked at Ruan Qiu with a gentle expression, "I just remembered that when the third junior brother left, he was so badly injured that he lost his soul and didn't even leave his body behind. Later, the junior sister left Zixiao Palace At the time, he also took away his relics. Ruan Qiu, did you erect this monument?"

Ruan Qiu frowned slightly, and nodded silently.

Xie Xuanqing looked at him with shame, "You must have suffered a lot."

Ruan Qiu shook his head and looked at Yin Wuchen, "Fortunately, I didn't have to suffer when I met Master later. By the way, my parents also left behind the sword that used to be in Zixiao Palace. Master, I have thought about it carefully. This sword It came from Zixiao Palace, why not send it back."

Some of the old things dug up in the backyard of Tingyunguan are here with Yin Wuchen. Ruan Qiu still keeps the sword box left by his parents. He said that he took out the black iron sword box in the storage ring.

"When these two swords return to Zixiao Palace, it is as if my parents have also returned to the master's gate."

"……it is good."

Xie Xuanqing's fingertips trembled, she raised her hand to cover the sword case, and gently opened the sword case. After many years, the two swords that were seen again were placed side by side on the red silk in the sword case, a thin sword and a long sword. The totem of Zixiao Palace is still engraved on the hilt.

"No fight, no hate."

This is the name of Shuangjian, but Ruan Qiu doesn't quite understand the meaning of this name.

"I heard that the swords in the hands of the five sons of Zixiao back then were all made by their master, the old sword master. Uncle, do you know why parents' swords have such a name?"

Xie Xuanqing smiled reluctantly, looked at the two swords, but did not dare to reach out to touch them, "My previous sword was called Unforgiveness, Song Jingfeng's sword was Budu, third junior brother's non-dispute, fourth junior sister's non-hate, fifth junior brother's Injustice... I don't know Master's intentions, but Master must hope that we are all well. But this long sword is not hateful, it should have been given to Third Junior Brother."

There was a bit of nostalgia in his eyes, and he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, "Your father is soft-tempered, like you, but the person Master is most worried about is him. I have already avenged the Nie family, but the master is still afraid that he will be affected by the hatred. This sword of no hatred was made for the third junior brother. But your mother's temperament is completely opposite to his. She is very strong and stubborn, but she doesn't want to I like that thin sword, and I want to snatch the long sword from Third Junior Brother."

Ruan Qiu is thoughtful, in his memory, his mother Gu Lanjun has always been very gentle, would she actually steal his father's sword?

Thinking of the past, Xie Xuanqing relaxed a bit, took out the rapier, paused suddenly, and after picking up the rapier, the box was half empty, and a corner of the envelope under the red silk on the edge of the box was also exposed, Xie Xuanqing took the rapier The letter was picked up.

"This is……"

Ruan Qiu was also taken aback, with a look of astonishment on his face, "Why is there a letter here?"

Yin Wuchen and Li Sansi followed suit.

Xie Xuanqing turned the letter over, and several people saw the correct handwriting on the envelope, as well as the sentence - my son Ruan Qiu personally.
