Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

Lu Mingfeng has always had a good background, and his injuries healed after lying on the bed for a few days. After this incident, he was finally able to stay on the mountain peacefully. Apart from practicing swords, he practiced in the house. Today, Zhangjiao Li just left. He followed Lin Songfeng to the Wuji Tower.

Ruan Qiu was surprised when Lu Mingfeng heard that Shen Zhuohan was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain. Seeing that the master was talking to Lin Songfeng, he didn't bother him, and went down the mountain alone after talking to Lu Mingfeng.

At the foot of the mountain, Ruan Qiu immediately saw Shen Zhuohan standing in front of the mountain gate.

After Nie Wuhuan broke into the mountain, Ling Juefeng's formation was strengthened, and the area at the foot of the mountain was also covered. Outsiders could approach, but once they hurt someone, they would be quickly trapped by the formation.

At this moment, Shen Zhuohan in front of the mountain gate is still the elegant and handsome boy in white clothes in the storybook, but when Ruan Qiu sees Shen Zhuohan again, his mentality can no longer return to the past, he corrected his expression and stepped forward to speak out.

"Junior Brother Shen, what do you want me to do?"

Hearing the sound, Shen Zhuohan looked back, and when he saw Ruan Qiu, his pair of raised fox eyes curled up, "Long time no see, Senior Brother Ruan."

Ruan Qiu was actually a little uncomfortable. According to the script, Shen Zhuohan would be Master's destined Taoist partner in a few years, but that was after his death. Now that he is still alive, he probably won't die at the hands of Nie Wuhuan again. , he also wanted to fight for Master once.

In this way, he could no longer match Shen Zhuohan and Yin Wuchen. He had promised to recommend Shen Zhuohan to Qinghui Mountain but failed. Now seeing Shen Zhuohan, he felt a little embarrassed.

However, Shen Zhuohan seemed to have forgotten about this matter, and he never asked Ruan Qiu, and now he only asked: "I haven't seen Senior Brother Ruan since Mingjian Villa. I heard that the young master of the Demon Sect broke into the sect and hurt Senior Brother Ruan. Although it's a lot late, is there any serious problem, brother?"

When he asked this question, Ruan Qiu said kindly, "I'm fine. I also saw Junior Brother Shen in the library that day. Are you injured?"

Shen Zhuohan responded with a smile, "I'm fine, but I'm worried about Senior Brother Ruan these few days."

Ruan Qiu is used to Shen Zhuohan talking to him in such an ambiguous tone, and he doesn't know why Shen Zhuohan always likes to joke with him, but it is always inconvenient to talk like this standing in front of the mountain gate, so he said: "Junior Shen came just in time, the one I raised Several Nine Nights Orchids are in bloom, I told you I would send them to you, why not follow me up the mountain and pick them out yourself along the way."

He originally thought that Shen Zhuohan would not refuse, but the recommendation he had promised failed, and he also wanted to send Shen Zhuohan Jiuyelan as an apology.

But this time, Shen Zhuohan shook his head, "I won't go. Brother Ruan, I came to see you this time to say goodbye to you."

Ruan Qiu was slightly taken aback, "Farewell?"

"I'm going down the mountain to practice today, and I don't know when I'll be back. I won't be able to use the Nine Nights Orchid cultivated by my brother for the time being." When Shen Zhuohan talked to him, his eyebrows and eyes were always smiling, "I don't know when I leave. Will Senior Brother Ruan think of me?"

Ruan Qiu's astonishment was quickly diluted by his teasing, "You are about to build a foundation, maybe you can find a good opportunity to practice this time, and it will be of great benefit to your practice. Where are you going to practice."

Shen Zhuohan turned his head to think for a while, and finally whispered, "I don't know, maybe I will go back to my hometown first." He paused, looked at Ruan Qiu and said: "My hometown is far in the northwest, there is a legend there, Senior Brother Ruan, are you interested in listening?"

Since he mentioned it, he just wanted to say it, Ruan Qiu followed his words and asked, "What legend?"

Shen Zhuohan thought about it, and said slowly: "That is a legend about a fox girl. The white fox practiced in the mountains for hundreds of years, and finally cultivated into a human form, and came to the world. Just like every story in a storybook, she met mortals She fell in love with each other and gave birth to a child of the human race, but one day, her identity will be exposed. She was designed by a foreign evil way to show her original demon body, and was framed by him as a demon girl who murdered and drank blood. He chose to abandon her without hesitation, and did it himself to prove his innocence. After the fox girl was killed by her lover, her child was also put on the altar. The villagers were terrified that he would turn into a fox and harm the whole village, shouting I want to kill him, the monster."

Ruan Qiu has actually heard the same story a lot, but obviously he has heard many of the same plots, and when Shen Zhuohan said it in such a calm tone, he couldn't bear it. He stopped breathing and clutched his sleeves, "Then , was he burned?"

"died."

Shen Zhuohan saw the change in Ruan Qiu's face, full of regret, and laughed again, "From then on, the child born in a mortal's family died, and the one who lived was only the son of the fox girl. He was saved by a passing fairy, who exposed the evil conspiracy Afterwards, the ignorant villagers were severely punished to clear up the grievances of the fox girl. Later, in order to atone for the crime, the village where the fox girl was wrongly killed built a fox fairy temple and worshiped the stone statue of the fox girl day and night. The girl was very curious, once in a dream my soul was taken away by a ghost, and it was a little fox that suddenly appeared and brought me back to my body."

Ruan Qiu was speechless for a while because of his pause, and finally sighed: "Things like this have been written in the scriptures, and they often happen in the world. Ordinary people still have too much prejudice against monsters, but after all, the two races It’s not the same kind, it’s hard to blend in.”

"Maybe. Most of the monster races like to stay in their own territory to practice, and there are some restless monster races who like to linger in the world."

Shen Zhuohan smiled faintly, "Nowadays, the strong are still respected in the world, and cultivation is the kingly way, and the world is nothing more than that. Rather than coveting the momentary pleasure, indulging in love, and sending your weaknesses to others, it is better to concentrate on cultivation and wait until the real When you become strong, you can hold everything in your hands, and then no one will dare to provoke you, wouldn't it be wonderful?"

Ruan Qiu frowned, feeling that this was not right, but it seemed quite right.

Suddenly, Shen Zhuohan handed him a small jade pendant carved into the shape of a fox, with a big head and a big tail, "Senior Brother Ruan, do you like this?"

Ruan Qiu was slightly taken aback. This fox jade pendant...was quite interesting. He didn't say whether he liked it or not, but asked, "Who is this for?"

Sure enough, as he expected, Shen Zhuohan smiled at him, and said: "I carved the little fox myself. After much deliberation, I still made it into a sword tassel pendant. Senior Brother Ruan must accept it this time. After I leave, Senior Brother Ruan You won't see me for a long time."

Ruan Qiu can't laugh or cry, is Shen Zhuohan sure that he will think of him?He was about to decline politely, but Shen Zhuohan told him to accept his heart with one word.

"The fox mask I bought last time is gone."

Ruan Qiu paused, it was indeed gone.

It was taken away by his master.

Shen Zhuohan shook the sword tassel jade pendant, and said quietly: "It was crushed. Brother Ruan is so careless, I will be sad."

How did he know it was broken?

Ruan Qiu didn't know it himself, but when he thought about it carefully, the master was jealous of Nie Wuhuan, and if he took away the fox mask that day, wouldn't it really crush it?He suddenly felt helpless towards such a secretly jealous master, and quickly lied for the master without changing his face.

"No! Then, I should have accidentally smashed it when I was taken away."

Shen Zhuohan smiled without saying a word, and didn't say whether he believed it or not, and stuffed the fox jade pendant into Ruan Qiu's hands, "Okay, I should go."

Ruan Qiu suddenly felt that when he said this, there seemed to be some reluctance in his sly fox-like eyes.Thinking of Shen Zhuohan's fate with Master in the script, Ruan Qiu blinked, held the pendant, and said with emotion: "Take care."

As the mountain wind blew, Shen Zhuohan smiled and waved at him, walking very freely.

Ruan Qiu watched him go away until he couldn't see anyone, feeling a little heavy in his heart for some reason, sighed silently, and wanted to go back to the mountain.

But at this moment, a flash of sword light flashed across, and Yin Wuchen's figure appeared in front of the front door, followed by Lin Songfeng and Lu Mingfeng who rushed down from the mountain in a hurry, all looking hurried.

If he hadn't seen the two senior brothers, Ruan Qiu would have almost jumped into the arms of the master, but fortunately the two arrived in time, he could barely stop in front of the master, and just about to salute, Yin Wuchen asked, "Where's the man?"

Seeing his tense expression, Ruan Qiu wondered if something had happened, but he was also stunned when Yin Wuchen asked him so suddenly.

"Where's Shen Zhuohan?"

Lu Mingfeng was more anxious than them, and ran over and shouted: "Little Junior Brother, the Shen Zhuohan who came to see you just now is the traitor who sneaked into the sect earlier, and is the apprentice of the ghost mother of the Blood Shadow Palace. His name is Shen Cuo!"

Ruan Qiu was shocked, "Wrong Shen?"

He only found out today that there was a traitor in the sect, and he did not expect to find out so soon. Is this person the Shen Zhuohan he just met?Ruan Qiu was full of disbelief, pinching the jade pendant and said in a daze: "He, he has already left, and he said he wants to go down the mountain to experience..."

This is aware of, ready to run.

Yin Wuchen glanced away, and Lin Songfeng and Lu Mingfeng flew after him.

Ruan Qiu watched them go away, his heart was full of shock, he never thought that Shen Zhuohan would be the apprentice of the master's enemy, the ghost mother.

He is the protagonist of the story...

Yin Wuchen knew that Ruan Qiu admired Shen Zhuohan quite a lot, and knew that this matter would definitely be uncomfortable, so he lightly held Ruan Qiu's hand and comforted him: "Don't think about it, Shen Zhuohan lied to everyone, if I didn't receive the secret letter today, I wouldn't have found out He is the ghost mother's apprentice."

Ruan Qiu frowned slightly, "Secret letter?"

Yin Wuchen nodded, a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes.He probably guessed who sent the secret letter, but since the other party didn't report his name, he didn't want to tell Ruan Qiu, he just said: "Ghost Mother's apprentice is the only connection she has with Blood Shadow Palace all these years hidden in the ghost temple. Some people in Momen have seen him before. They know that his real name is Shen Cuo, and he also knows that his alias is Shen Zhuohan. He has half of the blood of the white fox. advantage, he was the ghost mother's apprentice more than ten years ago."

Ruan Qiu believed in Yin Wuchen, but the shock was too great, he was full of doubts, and he couldn't recover for a while.

Only then did Yin Wuchen realize that there was a fox jade pendant the size of a thumb in his hand, Qingjun frowned, picked up the jade pendant and stroked it, "This is?"

Thinking that this was something given to him by the ghost mother's apprentice, Ruan Qiuhou's hands trembled in fear, "Yes, the sword spike that Shen Zhuohan gave me before he left."

Hearing this, Yin Wuchen frowned, and returned the jade pendant to Ruan Qiu after a while, "Don't worry, there is nothing wrong with this Jiansui. Maybe he knows that his identity is about to be exposed, and he wants to use this to sow discord between you and me as master and apprentice." relationship between."

Ruan Qiu felt that Shen Zhuohan gave him the jade pendant without any intention of harming him, so he swallowed the words again. He didn't understand Shen Zhuohan at all, but since the jade pendant in his hand was fine...

Yin Wuchen noticed that he was hesitating, so he took his hand to help him put the jade pendant away, "It's okay, just take it, I'll take care of it if there's anything else."

Ruan Qiu nodded slowly, still preoccupied, "Just now, Shen Zhuohan told me a story about a fox girl. Master, you said that Shen Cuo is the son of a fox girl. Did he tell me about himself?" He thought about it Thinking about telling the story to Yin Wuchen, "So, Shen Zhuohan is the son of the fox girl, and the ghost mother is the fairy who saved the son of the fox girl in that story? Master, is Shen Zhuohan lying to me again?"

Yin Wuchen couldn't help but look at Ruan Qiu after listening.

His little apprentice was so good-looking that even he, a sword master, would be moved by it. Can that little fox cub resist?

Yin Wuchen's eyes sank, and he took Ruan Qiu's hand and led him up the mountain, "The fox mask he gave you last time was indeed demonic. Since then, I have asked your elder brother to investigate him. A few days ago you mentioned In my previous life, Shen Zhuohan also appeared when I went to the ghost temple to find the source of the ghost beads. I realized that this person was wrong and asked Chu Yue to keep an eye on him. Maybe it was the movement from Chu Yue that made him aware, so he left in a hurry today .”

Yin Wuchen went to the ghost temple because of the source of the ghost beads, to undo the curse for Ruan Qiu, but why did Shen Zhuohan, a disciple of the Xuanji sect, go to the ghost temple?In fact, in the previous life, Shen Zhuohan had already been exposed, but unfortunately they didn't know the truth until this life.

"There is indeed something wrong with that mask, luckily the master took it away." Ruan Qiu was already mentally prepared, when Yin Wuchen confirmed that Shen Zhuohan was a double-faced person, he still felt uncomfortable.

At this time, I think back to what happened before. When Linjiazhuang Ghost Sword appeared, Shen Zhuohan was there. When the famous sword villa Ji guy and Nie Wuhuan tuned the tiger away from the mountain, Shen Zhuohan was also there. That day when Nie Wuhuan mixed into the sect, Shen Zhuohan was also there. Where is this? Just a coincidence?

Those things that were ignored before, in retrospect, there are problems everywhere, no matter how generous Ruan Qiu is, it is hard not to care about it.

Shen Zhuohan infiltrated the sect and made a high-profile announcement of being Yin Wuchen's apprentice, it must be because of the ghost mother's order to get close to Yin Wuchen, but due to various reasons, Shen Zhuohan has not been able to do so.

In this life, Ruan Qiu came back to life and finally came into contact with Shen Zhuohan. Shen Zhuohan also had many opportunities to attack his master Yin Wuchen through him, and Ruan Qiu was afraid even thinking about it.

That mask was handed over to Shizun from him. If Shizun didn't find the problem at that time, would he and Shizun be tricked?

He also didn't want to think Shen Zhuohan too viciously, but Shen Zhuohan was the apprentice of the ghost mother, the witch who forced Yin Wuchen's biological mother to death.

He was lucky just now and chose to believe in the kind protagonist in the script——Shen Zhuohan is not such a pure and kind person in the script, and Ruan Qiu has always been blinded by his mask.

When he was taken away by Nie Wuhuan that day, Shen Zhuohan who was lying on the ground was also awake. He was worried about Shen Zhuohan, but Shen Zhuohan acted as Nie Wuhuan's internal support, betrayed him, and let Nie Wuhuan hurt him.

He shouldn't have taken that story seriously, believed in Shen Zhuohan preconceivedly, and once wanted to match Shen Zhuohan and Shizun, now looking back, Ruan Qiu felt that his idea was too ridiculous.

Ruan Qiu's face was pale, and he finally crushed the fox jade pendant in his hand. He looked at Shen Zhuohan expressionlessly and said that the jade pendant carved by himself turned into powder. He let out a long breath, turned around and threw himself into Yin Wuchen's arms, tightly Hug Yin Wuchen tightly.

"Master, I'm too stupid."

He really believed in Shen Zhuohan, but he didn't expect that the other party was a complete liar, and he even blamed himself for almost harming his master.

The little apprentice showed such a fragile side, Yin Wuchen felt distressed, he hugged Ruan Qiu, and coaxed: "Don't think too much, even if Shen Cuo wanted to attack me through you, didn't he fail in the end? The person who cheated the most is not you and me, but the mountain lord of Lingxi Mountain."

Over the years, for Yin Wuchen's sake, he refused to take Shen Zhuohan as his apprentice, and Elder Xu, who was always against Yin Wuchen, should cry the most.

Yin Wuchen has no fellowship, and even feels somewhat gloating about it.It's just that the little apprentice was heartbroken by being deceived, so he still wanted to coax him.

"It's okay, Xiaoqiu, the master also discovered that Shen Zhuohan has a problem because of your reminder, and you are also responsible for exposing him."

Yin Wuchen said whatever he wanted, but Ruan Qiu was still huddled in his arms, Yin Wuchen was helpless, so he had to carry the little apprentice back to the Wuji Building.

Ruan Qiu's mood at this moment, Yin Wuchen who doesn't know the inside story, can't understand.He began to doubt that script, was the kind and upright protagonist in the script a liar from beginning to end?

The author has something to say:

More, happy winter solstice!Just went out to eat later, sorry
