Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

Hearing the name Shen Zhuohan, the man in black paused, and under Ruan Qiu's icy gaze, he raised his hand and took off the mask.

A strand of black hair was taken off along with the hood of the cloak, and fell onto a young and handsome face, a pair of fox eyes looked at Ruan Qiu with a smile.

It was Shen Zhuohan.

He no longer pressed his throat to speak, and his voice carried an inexplicable smile.

"Senior Brother Ruan, how did you know it was me?"

Ruan Qiu looked at his face, her brows tightened, and she finally let go of Yuzan's hand, "You don't have to call me senior brother, I'm not your senior brother at all, Shen Cuo, you..."

"Call me Shen Zhuohan."

Shen Zhuohan narrowed his fox eyes slightly, "I like this name better." He glanced at Mei Hanyue who was lying on the ground, and said again: "She is fine, she just fell into my illusion temporarily, let me control it, and sleep for a while." Just wake up, just wake up."

Ruan Qiu nodded and looked at him puzzled, "Why did you find me today, to help the ghost mother catch me and threaten my master?"

"No, why do you think so?" Shen Zhuohan said: "Even if Master wants me to do this, I can't do it. After all, Yin Jiansheng is still by your side. Ruan Qiu, you have changed a lot."

Ruan Qiu looked at him and said, "You've changed a lot too. If you didn't come to catch me, why did you take so much trouble to get me here?"

Shen Zhuohan smiled, turned around and walked to the table, and put down the ghost mask casually, "The saint has ordered, I have to come." He paused, then looked back at Ruan Qiu, "Many years ago, my master was The Saintess of the Blood Shadow Palace is still the same today, but many people prefer to call her the ghost mother of the ghost temple."

Ruan Qiu frowned, "What did she ask you to do?"

"Don't be so nervous, she didn't come today, and she won't come." Shen Zhuohan pointed to the opposite side, "It's been so long, don't you want to catch up with me first? Sit down and chat for a while?"

Ruan Qiu glanced at Mei Hanyue on the ground, put away the jade hairpin, stepped forward to help him up, and put him on the chair in the corner.Shen Zhuohan saw it in his eyes, hooked the corners of his mouth, and sat down on his own.

Ruan Qiu placed a good person before asking: "What do you want to talk about? The purpose of the ghost mother asking you to come here? Shen Zhuohan, you have something to say."

Shen Zhuohan raised his hand to caress the mask on the table, and regretfully said: "Unfortunately, there is nothing in this room. I finally came here just to see you, but I couldn't even have a sip of tea. Ruan Qiu, the jade pendant I gave you , you throw it away too."

Ruan Qiu didn't deny it, "You've been lying to me. There was a problem with the mask you gave me the first time. Naturally, I won't keep your jade pendant."

Shen Zhuohan paused, covered the mask with his palms, and looked up at Ruan Qiu, "Even this jade pendant, I haven't tampered with it?"

Ruan Qiu asked him back, "What do you think?"

Shen Zhuohan lowered his eyes slightly, and smiled, "If it were me, I would not stay. You have done a good job, and you are not as interesting as before. But I haven't seen you for a while, and you have changed a lot. You have brought me a lot of surprises from the first stage to the middle stage of foundation establishment, Ruan Qiu, I finally understand why Yin Wuchen chose you back then and never chose me. But you have never fulfilled the promise you gave me. "

Ruan Qiu hesitated and said: "You mean to introduce you to the master's sect? If you are really just Shen Zhuohan, I might really help you, but you are not only Shen Zhuohan, but also a disciple of the ghost mother."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Shen Zhuohan looked up at Ruan Qiu and sighed softly: "I mean, you promised to give me Jiuyelan."

Ruan Qiu was startled, "You still want it?"

Shen Zhuohan smiled and said: "Of course I want it, but it seems that you don't have it in hand. In this case, I can only wait for the next time."

Ruan Qiu frowned, "Shen Zhuohan, what exactly do you want to say? You have been in the Xuanji Sect for many years, presumably because of the order of the ghost mother, you want to get close to my master. The last big competition in the sect should have been your last competition." It's a good opportunity, but in the end you were indeed seen by the master, but he didn't do what you wanted, and instead accepted me as a disciple. You are not reconciled, so when everyone slandered me, you also contributed to the flames and tied yourself to me Together, so that everyone can think of you when they mention me, and let my master pay attention to you again, right?"

Shen Zhuohan smiled and asked: "Ruan Qiu, why don't you ask me, are those rumors that are not good for you, are I spreading them on purpose?"

Ruan Qiu only said: "But the master's temperament is like this. The more people or things he doesn't like, the more he jumps in front of him, the more annoying he will be, and he will never let you get what you want. Shen Zhuohan, I want to know, the remnants of the Blood River Sect Did you intervene when Ghost Sword Lin Yong set up a trap in the Lin Family Village to harm my disciples?"

Shen Zhuohan withdrew his smile, remained silent for a moment, turned his face and said: "You guessed it."

Ruan Qiu shook his head, "It really is you. At that time, Lin Yong came with Nie Si, saying that he was obeying the orders of the ghost mother, and in order to avenge my master, he wanted to anger the innocent disciples of the sect. If they really wanted to seek My master is troublesome, what's the use of hurting these disciples? At most, it can only damage my master's reputation, but if they are for you, it will be different. Master is often not on the mountain, and lost the opportunity of the Zongmen Grand Competition. It will be very difficult for you to see him again, but if someone used the name of revenge against Yin Wuchen to hurt the disciples of the sect, then at that time, those who survived in Linjiazhuang will definitely be compensated by the sect and get the attention of the master."

"This is your second chance, am I right, Shen Zhuohan?"

Shen Zhuohan got up silently, looked at the closed door, and said in a low voice: "Almost, Nie Si and Lin Yong did know that the ghost mother's apprentice had infiltrated the Blood Shadow Palace, but they didn't know who I was, let alone the ghost My mother asked them to come to cooperate with me and attract Yin Wuchen's attention. The order given to them by the ghost mother was just to make them trouble Yin Wuchen, but I knew their plan, so I went."

"You still took those brothers with you." Ruan Qiu thought about the ending of those disciples in the Lin Family Manor in the previous life. Most of them were killed or injured, and they were protected by Xie Ying, a disciple of Zixiao Palace who appeared suddenly. He didn't know that Shen Zhuohan was among them, but in the end his master did notice this group of surviving disciples, but Shen Zhuohan didn't get what he wanted.Ruan Qiu closed his eyes, "You know that Lin Yong and Nie Si will not let them go, if I hadn't gone then, my brother wouldn't have gone, Pei Huan probably wouldn't have gone either, then my second senior brother and master wouldn't Will come, Shen Zhuohan, have you ever thought that those trapped in Linjiazhuang might die, and if you stood up to stop them earlier, we would not have to be injured in Linjiazhuang that day."

Shen Zhuohan turned around with his hands behind his back, with an indifferent expression, "But if there were no stepping stones for me, how would I have the opportunity to approach your master?"

Ruan Qiu frowned, "Do you really have no attachment to Xuanjizong? Do you know that after your identity was exposed and you escaped from the sect, your master, Elder Xu, and your brothers in Lingxi Mountain were all there?" Pleading for you, I don't even want to believe that you are really the ghost mother's disciple, and even suspect that my master has slandered you!"

Shen Zhuohan smiled coldly, "So what? Ruan Qiu, I am not the real Shen Zhuohan at all, I am Shen Cuo, the apprentice of the ghost mother, Shen Zhuohan is just my false identity mixed into Xuanjizong, I have done so much, It's just to get close to Yin Wuchen, why do I have nostalgia for them, can I care?"

Ruan Qiu shook his head, "But Shen Zhuohan, since you entered Lingxi Mountain for more than a year, Elder Xu has always been kind to you, right? And those brothers who believe in you and slander me for you, you should be serious Don't you care? Can you watch them die in front of you without being moved?"

"It's only been a year. I grew up in the ghost temple, and I also fought hard in the Blood Shadow Palace for many years. The true love between master and apprentice, and the friendship between teachers and brothers are not as real as living!" Shen Zhuohan squeezed his fingers, retorted coldly, and the words came to this point , when he saw Ruan Qiu's calm eyes, he felt that the eyes of the other party seemed to be full of sarcasm - he was too excited. Realizing this, Shen Zhuohan took a deep breath to calm himself down, and bent his lips into a smile, "Don't say That's it, Ruan Qiu, I finally found a chance to meet you, how about you and me?"

Ruan Qiu looked at him calmly, "I don't think we have anything to talk about. Since you don't want to accept the kindness of Elder Xu and your senior brothers, I can only say that you and I are not fellow travelers. Or back to ghosts? What did your mother ask you to do here?"

Shen Zhuohan nodded, "Alright."

As soon as he raised his hand, a spiritual light lit up between his fingers, and a red stick appeared, as red as blood-stained, with a bloody character circled in black.

"This is the blood killing order from my Blood Shadow Palace. There are two masters in the Blood Shadow Palace, one is the palace master Guiyi, and the other is the former saint, Nie Ruyi. This blood killing order is my master's token."

As Shen Zhuohan said, he threw the blood killing order over.Ruan Qiu raised his hand to take it, and the tentacles felt a chill that seemed to go deep into the soul, causing his fingertips to tremble suddenly, and hurriedly used spiritual power to cover his hands, isolating the surging scarlet blood.

Shen Zhuohan said: "I think you have all heard about it. Since a month ago, there has been a change in the ghost city. My master is in the ghost temple deep in the ghost city, so I naturally noticed it. She didn't come out, but she was able to send a message to the ghost town. I, knowing that my identity was exposed and wasting her many years of planning, let me atone for my sins and send this blood killing order to Yin Wuchen. But it has been difficult for me to get in touch with Yin Wuchen for many years, so I can only find you."

A layer of faint blue light covered Ruan Qiu's white hands, and when the blood slowly faded away, Ruan Qiu saw a line of blood on the signature.

"If you want to take revenge, on February [-]th, we will meet at the Ghost Temple——Nie Ruyi."

Ruan Qiu looked at the blood on the signature, and his eyes widened, "February [-]th... after five days?"

Shen Zhuohan nodded, "That's right. After five days, the storm in the ghost city will be suspended. At that time, your master Yin Wuchen can enter the Fenggui Temple."

So fast……

Ruan Qiu didn't expect that his master already wanted to go to the ghost temple to take revenge, but in the end it would be the ghost mother's battle letter that came first. He was a little suspicious, "How can you be sure that the storm in the ghost city will stop after five days?"

Shen Zhuohan said: "Because I have entered the ghost temple since I was six years old, and my master ghost mother has been retreating in the ghost temple for more than 30 years. No one knows the law of storms in ghost cities better than her. She said that after five days, the storm will It will stop, it will definitely stop.”

Ruan Qiu looked at the blood sign in his hand, "What if I don't help you hand over this blood killing order to the master? Shen Zhuohan, are you afraid that my master will not go?"

"He will go."

Shen Zhuohan looked determined, "A person who wants to avenge his mother will never miss this opportunity after waiting for nearly 40 years."

Ruan Qiu fell silent.

Suddenly, Shen Zhuohan turned his head and looked in front of the door, his eyes narrowed, and then he turned to Ruan Qiu, "Someone came to look for you, and he moved so fast, it seems that I guessed right, he really cares about you."

Ruan Qiu also heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside. He took the blood killing order back into the storage ring, and looked at Shen Zhuohan who stood up and walked towards him with full eyes of defense. Shen Zhuohan stood in front of the window, but smiled, "So Be vigilant, afraid that I will make a move?"

Ruan Qiu only said, "You have to go."

"Yeah, I'm going to the ghost temple. If I don't go, she will kill me."

Such terrifying words, Shen Zhuohan said with a smile, he took a deep look at Ruan Qiu, then turned and opened the window, under the window is the back alley of Liutong Chunge, there is no one at the moment, it can be seen that he had already thought about it when he chose the room. Good retreat.

The footsteps outside the door were getting closer and closer, but Shen Zhuohan didn't leave immediately, and with his back to Ruan Qiu, he sighed inexplicably, "Ruan Qiu, you are not as interesting as before, but you are still very good-looking." He still couldn't bear it Stopped, looked back at Ruan Qiu, with complicated eyes, "If I can come out of the ghost temple alive, I will come to you to get the promised Nine Nights Orchid. That Ten Thousand Spirits flower, it should be regarded as an early return gift."

Panacea?

Ruan Qiu was startled, and was about to ask Shen Zhuohan what was the relationship with the Wan Linghua, but Shen Zhuohan stopped staying, stepped on the window sill and jumped down, Ruan Qiu hurriedly chased to the window, only to see Shen Zhuohan standing on the floor Going down the back alley, Shi Shiran flicked his sleeves, turned his back and walked into the quiet alley.

And so he went...

Ruan Qiu clenched the window sill tightly and frowned, finally there was a knock on the door, and the voices of Song Zixi and Lu Mingfeng also came from outside the door.

"Ruan Daoyou, are you inside?"

"Little Junior Brother?"

Ruan Qiu decided to take a look at the back alley, and had no choice but to go back to the door and open the door.

Sure enough, Song Zixi and Lu Mingfeng were standing in front of the door, seeing the smiles on their faces, as if they didn't know that Shen Zhuohan had just come.

Seeing Ruan Qiu, Song Zixi said to Lu Mingfeng, "I said that Fellow Daoist Ruan is here." He smiled, turned his head and said to Ruan Qiu, "I heard that Taoist Ruan and Manager Mei entered the small office on the second floor, so I brought Fellow Daoist Lu over here. Oh, hey, where's Manager Mei?"

Ruan Qiu opened the door and let them see Mei Hanyue sleeping on a chair in the corner. He had seen it just now, and Mei Hanyue was indeed not injured. It was probably a dream, and she would be fine after a few days of rest.He said: "Sister Hanyue suffered from an old injury and suddenly passed out. I will bring her here to rest."

After all, Mei Hanyue is now Song Zixi's subordinate, and she appeared in front of Song Yantai. Song Zixi couldn't help but get nervous, "Is she seriously injured? Why don't I send her back first, and then go to the city lord's mansion and invite two doctors to look at her?" look?"

Ruan Qiu thought that his medical skills were mediocre, and Mei Hanyue's injury hadn't completely healed at first, and the doctor in the City Lord's Mansion should be better than him, so he nodded, "Then I will thank Fellow Daoist Song on behalf of Sister Hanyue."

"Why are you polite?" Song Zixi waved his hand, "She is also my subordinate now." He was more anxious than Ruan Qiu, "Then I will go first!"

He turned his head and left, and walked back after a few steps, and took out a jade box from his sleeve, "By the way, I almost forgot about this."

Ruan Qiu recognized at a glance that the small palm-sized jade box was the box that contained the cold water jade when he sent the spirit stone and the thousand-year-old cold water jade over this morning.

Song Zixi stuffed it into his hand, seeing his expression full of envy, "I just went to see the seller of the Wanlinghua, that girl only accepted the Lingshi, but did not ask for the Millennium Cold Water Jade from Sword Sage Yin. But she said, this The Millennium Cold Water Jade was a gift from her master to Yin Jiansheng’s young apprentice Ruan Qiu. He also said that his master met you and was willing to send the Wanlinghua to Liutong Spring Pavilion because of his acquaintance with you. , You said that you are really... hidden."

It's not that Lu Mingfeng didn't know that Yin Wuchen snapped up the Wanlinghua, but the seller gave Ruan Qiu the Millennium Cold Water Jade, and he didn't know it. He was surprised, and envied Ruan Qiu just like Song Zixi.

"Little brother, your friend is so generous, and the thousand-year-old Hanshuiyu is actually given away at will, can you introduce me to the senior brother?"

To be honest, Lu Mingfeng really wanted such a rich and generous friend.

Song Zixi felt the same way, nodded vigorously, and looked at Ruan Qiu eagerly.

Ruan Qiu opened the jade box, looked at the thousand-year-old Hanshui jade that had not moved, and couldn't help but think of the words Shen Zhuohan just said before he left—is the seller of Wanlinghua so Shen Zhuohan?

But the words of Lu Mingfeng and Song Zixi really made him a little dumbfounded.

"I don't know why he sent me off, but..." Ruan Qiu looked straight, "You probably don't need to know who he is. Song Daoyou, let's settle Sister Hanyue first."

Seeing that he didn't want to say that neither Lu Mingfeng nor Song Zixi was a shameless person, he didn't ask any more questions. Song Zixi hurriedly went downstairs to find someone to find a carriage, intending to send Mei Hanyue back in person. Ruan Qiu wanted to follow, but was caught by Lu Mingfeng. Shouted.

"Little Junior Brother, what is this?"

Lu Mingfeng pointed to a ghost mask on the table, and Ruan Qiu realized that Shen Zhuohan forgot to take his mask away, but everyone left.

Ruan Qiu paused. Although he had learned from the past, he still stepped forward to pick up the ghost mask and said, "It was left by a friend."

Shen Zhuohan gave him such a valuable thing, they are considered friends, right?

Lu Mingfeng suddenly realized that he heard thunder outside the building, and a strong wind blew towards the windows, so he went to close the windows and said, "It's going to rain, let's go back quickly."

Ruan Qiu nodded and sighed secretly. After picking up the mask, he realized that a note was pressed on the table. He was stunned again. He stuffed the mask into his arms, picked up the note and opened it. There were only two sentences on it. ——Ruan Qiu, knowing that you will blame me for lying to you, you definitely don't want to accept my gift. After all, you saved me once in the sect, and you took your master's thousand-year-old cold water jade as a thank you gift. I have never touched it before. You can rest assured about this thing.The ghost temple party is extremely dangerous, Yin Wuchen will definitely go there, I hope you don't go with me, and we may meet again in the future.

The seller of Wan Ling Hua was indeed Shen Zhuohan.

Ruan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and it was hard to tell whether Shen Zhuohan was kind or he was also deceiving him. When he heard Lu Mingfeng come back after closing the window, he quickly put the note and mask into the storage ring, and then faced Lu Mingfeng, "Then we Let's go first."

Lu Mingfeng nodded, and went downstairs with Ruan Qiu holding his sword. When the two walked out of the gate of Liutong Spring Pavilion, Ruan Qiu felt relief from his shoulders for no reason. Looking at the gloomy sky, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thunderclouds overwhelm the top, a harbinger of rain.

The remnant wind swept past, pedestrians hurried on the street, the two brothers and sisters walked back slowly, Ruan Qiu then asked why Lu Mingfeng came.

Lu Mingfeng rubbed his shoulders, his face full of exhaustion, "It's not Master, let me find some things that pregnant women like to eat and toy clothes that children can use. After searching for a long time, I came back and gave them to him. He said that it will rain today, so I must go to Liutong Spring Pavilion to pick you up before it rains, little brother, do you think Master is too partial?"

Ruan Qiu blinked, confused at first, then quietly touched his flat belly, his heart warmed, and he bent his lips and smiled.

"Master, he asked the second senior brother to find those things, there must be his intentions."

Ruan Qiu thought to himself, it was probably for him and their children.

Although Lu Mingfeng didn't know about it, no matter how stupid he was, he guessed something. He lowered his voice and said, "Master still doesn't let me tell others, even you and I can't tell. Junior brother, listen to me, we Master probably has someone outside, we must have a teacher wife, maybe soon, there will be a cute little brother!"

This really made him hit half the mark by mistake. Ruan Qiu saw that he was serious, and thought that the child he gave birth in the future would really be called Lu Mingfeng. Isn't that just himself?

Ruan Qiu felt awkward, and didn't forget to test Lu Mingfeng's tone, "Second senior brother, don't you want Master to find a teacher's wife for us?"

"It's not."

Lu Mingfeng scratched his head, with a look of anticipation on his face, "I see Master's nervous look, I guess the younger brother is already in the mother's stomach. It's good to have someone to accompany the master, and a few more younger brothers, we will be here on the mountain." It's getting lively. I just didn't expect Master to find a Taoist partner before us, and I don't know what kind of person our master wife is."

Ruan Qiuxin said that the second senior brother is very strange, what is the surprise that the master found the Taoist companion before them?He thought for a while, and then asked: "Then what does the second senior brother want our teacher's wife to be like?"

"It must be good-looking! You know, the master doesn't say it on the face, but you are very partial to the good-looking little brother! In addition..." Lu Mingfeng laughed, feeling a little shy for no reason, hugging Chang Jian said: "Master, I definitely want her to be more gentle. If she is as fierce as Master, wouldn't I be beaten every day?"

"As long as you don't get beaten, is it considered gentle?"

Ruan Qiu probably figured out what his second senior brother was thinking, he probably wouldn't be so aggressive to second senior brother, and he wouldn't beat second senior brother either.

So, Ruan Qiu promised, "Second Senior Brother, don't worry, I will treat you well."

Lu Mingfeng was at a loss when he heard the words. He didn't know what Ruan Qiu's sudden words meant, but it didn't prevent him, a senior brother, from expressing his brotherhood. He patted Ruan Qiu on the shoulder and said, "Okay, senior brother, I will too." Will be good to you!"

Ruan Qiu pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes sparkling.

Although the second senior brother didn't know what he was talking about, he just said it and it was over.

Having said that, his future... Mistress, should be considered gentle, right?
