Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

At the last moment before the rain, Ruan Qiu and Lu Mingfeng just returned to the small courtyard.

Near noon, the thunder continued, and the heavy rain poured down, instantly clearing the dullness of the ground.

There was a table of meals prepared in the room, and Lu Mingfeng was so greedy that he drool as soon as he entered the door.

Unlike most monks who are immortal, Lu Mingfeng loves to go down the mountain to eat and drink besides practicing swords. He was very excited when he smelled the aroma of the food. Did you know that my junior brother and I are back, and specially reward us?"

Yin Wuchen watched him slip past in front of him expressionlessly, shook his head silently, then looked at Ruan Qiu in front of the door, stretched out his hand towards him very naturally, and said softly, "I'm back."

Ruan Qiu nodded with a smile, looked at the heavy rain outside, closed the courtyard door, held Yin Wuchen's hand, and went in with him, "It's raining heavily outside, and the second brother is also hungry, let him eat first."

Yin Wuchen dismissed his thoughts of letting Lu Mingfeng leave quickly, and took Ruan Qiu in while Lu Mingfeng didn't see, "Then let him stay for a while. Are you hungry? It's windy and rainy outside, so let's go into the house."

From the corridor to the main room, for a short distance, the two of them secretly held hands and went straight into the main room. When they saw Lu Mingfeng standing in front of the table stealing food, Ruan Qiu pulled his hand out of Yin Wuchen's hand, and met Yin Wuchen like a thief. Glancing at it, he walked over with a smile, "Thank you, Master, for buying food for us, Master, Second Senior Brother, let's sit down and eat together."

Although Yin Wuchen disliked Lu Mingfeng as an apprentice who was not very smart, Ruan Qiu didn't mind, so he let the two apprentices sit down, but because Lu Mingfeng was there, it was inconvenient for him to get close to Ruan Qiu, so he endured Lu Mingfeng's useless pawing When the table was full of food, he kicked people off to wash the dishes.

After the meal, Yin Wuchen and Ruan Qiu went back to the room. As soon as the door was closed, he held Ruan Qiu's hand naturally, "You said a lot of good things for your second senior brother during the meal just now, why do you suddenly care about him so much?"

Ruan Qiu couldn't say that he just wanted to satisfy the second senior brother's desire to have a gentle teacher's wife, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he turned his face and said, "I heard from the second senior brother that Master asked him to buy some things for children, Master, Can you let me see it?"

Yin Wuchen said with a headache: "His mouth really can't hide anything."

"That's because I asked, and he said it." Ruan Qiu unconsciously said something for Lu Mingfeng. To be honest, he was indeed interested in the things that Yin Wuchen asked Lu Mingfeng to buy. He curiously said: "Master , what about those things?"

Yin Wuchen hesitated and said, "You really want to see it?"

Ruan Qiu nodded.

Seeing the little apprentice staring at him eagerly, Yin Wuchen sighed helplessly, and led him to sit down at the table, "Your second senior brother is not very smart, and there are many things you have collected that are not suitable for use, except for food. I picked out some children's utensils, Xiaoqiu can also palm her eyes."

Ruan Qiu was even more looking forward to hearing the words, but he couldn't help feeling a little guilty. He touched his stomach carefully and said, "I never thought about finding some toys for my children. I'm really an unqualified father."

Yin Wuchen was amused by his words, "You and I are both first-time fathers. Even if you are young, even I don't know how to take care of children, but since you want to keep him, I will teach him with my heart. However, I Also a little nervous, wondering if our kid will like what I leave him."

Ruan Qiu watched him take out a three-foot-long box from the storage ring, and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise. After watching him open the box and seeing a box full of clothes and toys inside, he couldn't help looking more Yin Wuchen glanced with complicated eyes.

Is this what Master said... a little bit?

Yin Wuchen's cold face also showed a rare embarrassment, he coughed lightly, and took out a set of small and cute little lion clothes from the box, "This... Mingfeng found it in Jinxiufang, Tang Xun's Jinxiufang, The clothing has always been excellent, and a defensive circle will be added during the embroidery process, and the material is also good, so children should not feel uncomfortable wearing it."

He handed the little red clothes to Ruan Qiu, picked up a rattle, shook it gently twice, and took out both left and right sides. He was not embarrassed at all, his eyes were a little more gentle, and he said: "When I was young, I saw these little things around my brother in the clan."

He looked at Ruan Qiu and said with a smile: "We were at Tingyunguan before, and we dug up your mother's old things, and there are these little gadgets."

Ruan Qiu suppressed the surprise in his eyes, seeing Yin Wuchen explaining the items in the box to him one by one, the softness in his heart was touched instantly, he bent his lips and nodded, his eyes were full of smiles.

Yin Wuchen put down the rattle, and felt a little funny, "I don't really understand these, Xiaoqiu, help me to see, can these be kept?"

Ruan Qiu smiled and looked at Yin Wuchen quietly, but the smile in his eyes slowly turned into a sigh on his lips. He shook his head, did not speak, but stood up and hugged Yin Wuchen gently.

Yin Wuchen hugged Ruan Qiu's slender waist, a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"What, don't you like it?"

Ruan Qiu still shook his head, half closed his eyes, covered the sparkling water in his eyes, opened his mouth, and asked softly: "Master, you haven't named our child yet, can you please name one?"

Yin Wuchen was taken aback again, "Now?"

"Yes." Ruan Qiu said, "Now."

Yin Wuchen hesitated, "I can't think of a name for our child at the moment. Xiaoqiu, can you name it?"

Ruan Qiu insisted: "Master, come."

Yin Wuchen laughed helplessly. He really couldn't think of a name for a while, but this was Ruan Qiu's request... He put his arms around Ruan Qiu's waist and thought for a while, "I think it's better for the child to follow your surname. Since mother left, I have already changed my name and surname, and it has nothing to do with the Nie family. But the Yin in my name is not the surname of my grandparents. My mother had a lot of grievances with them back then, and she has left the Yin family since she got married. My surname is Yin. , just because my mother’s surname is Yin.”

"Xiaoqiu, the child takes your last name." Yin Wuchen pondered, "The name is..."

Before he finished speaking, he asked Ruan Qiu to cover his mouth, Yin Wuchen looked confused, watching Ruan Qiu withdraw from his arms, there was not even half a smile on his face, the rest was only a sad face.

Ruan Qiu let go of Yin Wuchen's mouth, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and he looked serious, "Tell me when Master comes back."

Yin Wuchen was puzzled, "Where am I going?"

Ruan Qiu stared at his face, bit his lips, finally let out a long sigh, and took out the blood killing order from his sleeve, "Shen Zhuohan came here today, and the ghost mother asked him to send a message to tell Master, five days later, the ghost city When the storm stopped, it was a good opportunity for Shizun to enter the ghost temple. I didn’t want Shizun to be involved, but Shen Zhuohan was right, a person who can wait for nearly 40 years for revenge will not stop for anyone , Master, I will take good care of Qinghui Mountain for you and take care of our children, so you can go to the ghost temple without worry."

Yin Wuchen's expression sank, and he received the blood killing order, but stared at Ruan Qiu in a daze.

"Xiaoqiu."

Ruan Qiu looked solemn, "Master, go, I know you have waited for so long, and now it's not just for revenge, but also for the ghost beads in my body that may affect me and my children."

Yin Wuchen frowned, looking down at the blood killing order in his hand, a bloody and cold ghostly aura came out of it silently, trying to climb up Yin Wuchen's strong arm in white clothes, but when he touched the back of his hand, he was caught cold The sword energy scattered.

Yin Wuchen looked at Ruan Qiu again, guilt welled up in his eyes, he finally understood why Ruan Qiu suddenly asked his child's name just now, but didn't want him to say it.Because Ruan Qiu knew that he would go to the ghost temple, but was also afraid that he would not come back, Ruan Qiu wanted to leave a thought for himself and Yin Wuchen, so that Yin Wuchen could remember that there were still people waiting for him to come back.

"Xiaoqiu, blame me for hurting you, I'm sorry for you and the child."

Ruan Qiu shook his head, "At this time, Master will be offended if he says such things again. Master treats me with sincerity, and I am willing to protect Qinghui Mountain for Master. No matter how long it takes, I will wait for Master to come back."

Yin Wuchen squeezed the blood killing order tightly, leaned over and hugged Ruan Qiu, and said softly: "Xiao Qiu, I will take you to the City Lord's Mansion the day after tomorrow, okay?"

Even if it is a great power who has completed the stage of transforming the gods, his ability reaches heaven and earth, can shrink the earth into an inch, and travel thousands of miles a day, from Shifang City to Xuanjizong, and then rush to the ghost city, Yin Wuchen can do it alone, but Ruan Qiu couldn't bear it, he had a child in his womb, and his body was more fragile than ever.Since it was too late, Yin Wuchen still wanted to stay with Ruan Qiu for two more days.

It was more than enough to arrive at the ghost town in three days.

With Song Yantai and Tang Xun present, the city lord's mansion can accommodate Ruan Qiu, and with the deterrence of the city lord's mansion, most people dare not hurt Ruan Qiu.

Ruan Qiu knew Yin Wuchen's arrangement, but in fact he was very reluctant to give up. If he could stay with Yin Wuchen for two more days, he couldn't say no to it.

"it is good."

Ruan Qiu sighed softly, then lowered her eyes and let herself indulge in Yin Wuchen's arms.

The ghost temple party is extremely dangerous, Yin Wuchen may not be able to come back smoothly, Ruan Qiu has something on his mind, even with Yin Wuchen accompanying him, he tosses and turns for a long time, and only slowly falls asleep in the middle of the night.

Xu Shi was preoccupied, and he had a dream tonight. In the dream, he was hanging in the darkness of nothingness, with his eyes closed and his brows furrowed, as if he was sleeping restlessly in a dream.

In the groggy state, a string of crisp bells sounded suddenly in the darkness, waking him up from the dream. He opened his eyes, half confused, half looking at the chaotic dream.

In an instant, a blurry face appeared in the darkness, it was a woman's face, as if she was also in a deep sleep, Ruan Qiu wanted to see who she was, but found that he could not move or speak, his heart An inexplicable uneasiness suddenly arose, and his pair of autumn water eyes widened, staring fixedly at that face.

The increasingly rapid sound of the bell lingered in his ears, Ruan Qiu almost stopped breathing, and his heartbeat accelerated rapidly with the sound of the bell.

Finally, a female voice echoed in the dream. Accompanied by the ringtone like a curse and the heartbeat amplified a hundred times, it revealed a strange and gloomy voice, which was also a voice that Ruan Qiu had never heard before.

She said, come on, come on, come on... come to see me in the ghost temple...

Ruan Qiu blinked in confusion, trying to break free from the immobility, and wanted to ask the woman with a cold laugh——

who are you?

Xu Shi heard his heartbeat, the ringtone and the woman's laughter stopped abruptly. In the extreme silence, Ruan Qiu's heartbeat and panting were amplified infinitely. He gasped desperately, and suddenly his eyes froze. , looking into the dark dream.

The face that was so blurry and impossible to see clearly opened his eyes suddenly.

A pair of eyes filled with scarlet blood.

The dark dream slowly turned red, and at this moment, the eyes were painted blood red...

Shifang City is pouring with heavy rain, and the ghost city thousands of miles away has been shrouded in storms like a day for ten years, but there is a huge arc-shaped barrier deep in the ghost city, which blocks the terrifying thunder and lightning and the sharp hurricane like a knife. , is the ghost temple.

A woman wearing a blood-red cloak knelt and sat in a strange blood formation, raising her hand to catch a blood-red spirit bead hanging in the air.

The blood was scorching, reflecting on her blue-white face, the bruise ghost lines on her cheeks spreading to her neck, and her eyes.

The left eye was blood-red and hollow, and the right eye was dark brown and gloomy.

Zidian split the dark night, and cut a ray of light under the huge barrier.

Holding the blood-red Lingzhu in both hands, she curled her lips into a chuckle, murmuring like a girl's raving.

"Yin Wuchen, are you here?"

That night, Yin Wuchen had difficulty falling asleep. The wind and rain subsided in the second half of the night, and after finally coaxing Ruan Qiu to sleep, he was able to escape and asked Lu Mingfeng to arrange for him to go to the ghost temple.

After sending Lu Mingfeng away, Yin Wuchen stood alone in the main room for a while, dispersing the moisture from his body, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the house, he looked up and saw Ruan Qiu standing in the courtyard.

It's spring, and it's still a bit chilly at night, but Ruan Qiu is only wearing a thin snow-white undershirt that he put on before going to bed, and his hair is not tied up, it is draped over his shoulders and falls straight down to his waist, which looks even more contrasting. The back is thin and thin, and the waist is extremely slender.

He was walking slowly to the outside of the courtyard, with his back to Yin Wuchen who was in the main room.

"Xiaoqiu?"

Yin Wuchen was a little surprised, he didn't know why Ruan Qiu ran out suddenly, but he was already weak, and now he had a child in his womb, Yin Wuchen was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he hurriedly chased after him.

"Xiaoqiu, why are you up?"

Ruan Qiu didn't speak, and didn't even react at all, and walked slowly towards the gate where he and he entered the small courtyard.

But Yin Wuyu saw from the corner of his eye that Ruan Qiu's eyes were closed when he was walking.

Yin Wuchen vaguely sensed something, walked quickly behind Ruan Qiu, raised his hand to press Ruan Qiu's shoulder, and at the same time, a stern sword light emerged from his palm, covering Ruan Qiu's whole body in a blink of an eye, Ruan Qiu finally stopped, stiffened Stand still.

The sword light enveloped Ruan Qiu, gradually forcing out traces of black and red ghostly aura.

Seeing those ghost auras, Yin Wuchen knew it already, and with another pat, the sword aura immediately smashed those strands of ghost aura, while Ruan Qiu panted heavily, and opened his Qiushui eyes.

Yin Wuchen supported Ruan Qiu, his eyes were full of worry, "Xiao Qiu, wake up!"

Ruan Qiu regained his vitality little by little, his pupils tightened suddenly, he hid in Yin Wuchen's arms tremblingly, his pale face was full of undisguised panic, he gasped for a while, and slowly regained his senses, only then did he see Yin Wuchen's face I am very confused.

"Master?"

Ruan Qiu blinked, looked around again, saw the familiar front yard, and then looked at the light clothes on his body, he realized it later, he was so cold that he hugged his arms, and his brows were tightly furrowed.

"What am I, here..."

Hearing his hoarse and trembling voice, Yin Wuchen hurriedly took off his outer robe and put it on Ruan Qiu's shoulders, only to realize that he was actually barefoot at the moment, a pair of jade-white feet stepped on the cobbled ground without hindrance, and his toes were cold They all turned pale purple and curled up, picked him up without saying a word, and walked to the room.

Ruan Qiu was shivering from the cold, but Yin Wuchen was extremely warm in comparison, he couldn't help but retracted himself into Yin Wuchen's arms, and wrapped his arms around his neck tightly, before Yin Wuchen spoke.

"The blood killing order is the ghost mother's token. She practiced the skills of the Blood Shadow Palace, and lived in the ghost city that has gathered resentment for many years after being massacred by the Blood Demon Sect. The blood killing order will naturally be contaminated with ghost energy. You After taking it yesterday and carrying it on for a long time, it is inevitable that the ghost energy will enter the body, and after nightfall, the yin will flourish and the yang will decline, and the ghost energy will exhaust the yang energy in your body, and then it will flare up."

"I see……"

Ruan Qiulian was trembling when he spoke. Hearing what Yin Wuchen said, he felt that the breath he exhaled was cold. He subconsciously wrapped his outer robe tightly around him and pressed it against the heat source around him.

Yin Wuchen felt the little apprentice's soft and cold cheek pressed against his neck, but he didn't have any romantic thoughts in his heart, so he hurriedly put Ruan Qiu on the edge of the bed and sat down, holding his hand to release his spiritual power.

Seeing Ruan Qiu half-closed his eyes, and his complexion gradually improved, Yin Wuchen said: "I have dispelled the ghost energy in your body, you can use your spiritual power, and you will be fine tomorrow when you bask in the sun."

Ruan Qiu nodded tremblingly, crossed his legs, and followed Yin Wuchen's spiritual power to meditate and adjust his breath. After running the spiritual power for two small weeks, the coldness in his body slowly receded. Ruan Qiu opened his eyes and couldn't help but let out a long breath. He raised his hand and pressed the back of Yin Wuchen's hand.

"Master, I'm fine."

Yin Wuchen withdrew his spiritual power, and touched Ruan Qiu's cheek with the back of his hand worriedly. The temperature was still a little cold, but much warmer than before. He put down his hand and held Ruan Qiu's wrist, feeling very distressed.

"Blame me, I didn't expect this level during the day. The ghost mother's ghost energy is getting stronger and stronger than before. It has the strength of when I went to the ghost temple to look for her in the previous life. It seems that in this life, it is not just that I have reached the realm of swordsmanship ahead of schedule. , she also reached the peak at that time."

Ruan Qiu wrapped her hands around Yin Wuchen's hands, and signaled with warm palms that she was fine, "Master, it's all because of my own carelessness. I didn't care when Shen Zhuohan gave me the blood killing order, which made the ghost spirit enter." It’s over. But this ghost energy is so powerful that it can enter my dream, and let the ghost mother control me to go to the ghost temple thousands of miles away?”

Yin Wuchen's expression tightened, "A dream?"

Ruan Qiu nodded, remembering the dream just now, he was still a little scared.

"I had a dream just now. In the dream, a woman's voice kept calling me, telling me to go to the ghost temple, and then I saw a pair of red eyes..." Ruan Qiu took a breath, wondering: "Then, I woke up in the front yard."

"Red eyes? The ghost mother Nie Ruyi is a teacher of the Blood Shadow Palace. In addition to the ghost city Nie's family inheriting the Tianshui Jue, she also practices the remaining blood exercises of the Blood Demon Sect. The person you saw in your dream should be her." Yin Wuchen thought. , squeezed Ruan Qiu's hand and said: "Just now you suddenly walked to the front yard, and you didn't respond no matter how much I called you, and you walked towards the door with your eyes closed. I guessed that you were recruited. Xiaoqiu, it seems She made a move. First there was a change in the ghost city, and now someone sent a blood killing order. This should be just an introduction. If I don't go to the ghost temple, she may use more methods."

Ruan Qiu couldn't figure it out, "Ghost Mother's enemies include not only Shizun but also City Lord Song. Now that you are all in Shifang City, if she rashly asks Master to meet in the ghost temple, she is not afraid that Master and City Lord Song will join forces to deal with you." Is she? Also, why is she in such a hurry to see you? Obviously... She should know that you want to kill her. "

"This is also what I can't figure out." Yin Wuchen looked at Ruan Qiu and said, "I only know that she is my mother-killing enemy, and she also went crazy because of forcing Nie San to death, and angered all Nie's family members. She was so jealous of my mother's son who went crazy, she hated me more and more. Maybe in her eyes, my enemy is more important than her own son, Nie Wuhuan. But I can only go to see her. I know why she urged me to go to the ghost temple. Since it is a grievance of the previous generation, it should not affect future generations. I will completely end this matter during this trip, so that we will have no future troubles."

Ruan Qiu secretly sighed, and put Yin Wuchen's hand on his abdomen, "Master, I understand your determination, and I will not stop you. We will wait for you, and you must come back."

Yin Wuchen's expression was heavy, "I will come back alive. Regardless of success or failure."

With his promise, Ruan Qiu felt relieved.

Unknowingly, the sky is almost dawn, and the seven-day Flower Festival is completely over.

There was a movement from the magic circle in front of the courtyard, followed by someone who came in, and someone called Master in the courtyard, and the voice was Lu Mingfeng.

Yin Wuchen didn't ask Lu Mingfeng to come back. He was a little surprised when he heard the sound, but he didn't show it on his face. He patted the back of Ruan Qiu's hand reassuringly, "Xiao Qiu, your second senior brother should have bought some gadgets for me. I'll go and see." Look, you sleep for a while."

Ruan Qiu responded, he had just woken up from a nightmare, he was frightened by sleepwalking in the middle of the night and broke out in a cold sweat, he felt a little headache, it seemed that the sky outside was not completely bright yet, and he was disheveled, so he didn't go out with him.

Yin Wuchen helped him to lie down, tucked the corner of the quilt, and watched him close his eyes before going out.

Lu Mingfeng knew that Yin Wuchen was still there, and that Yin Wuchen's spiritual sense was strong. If this was not Song Yantai's territory, he just wanted to know the movement of the whole city of Shifang City. He only needed to let go of his spiritual sense. Although there are restrictions here, this small courtyard He can still move about freely, and Lu Mingfeng doesn't need to look for him, he will come later, as expected, Yin Wuchen came soon after, and he came out of Ruan Qiu's room.

However, Lu Mingfeng is not in the mood to find out why the master always comes out of the junior brother's room every time, and next to him is the head disciple Chu who came to the Shifang City Flower Festival with an invitation card this time. Yue, both of them looked in a hurry.

Yin Wuchen deliberately avoided the front of Ruan Qiu's door, and took the two of them to the porch of the front yard to talk.

"What happened, so anxious."

Lu Mingfeng didn't dare to say anything, and looked towards the backyard, "Isn't Junior Brother here?"

Yin Wuchen asked: "Is it related to him?"

Lu Mingfeng didn't see Ruan Qiu, and when he didn't get up, he looked embarrassed, "That's okay." He pointed to Chu Yue, "Isn't Chu Yue telling me in the middle of the night that I received news from my younger brother and brother? If something goes wrong, I will come back immediately.”

Yin Wuchen raised his eyebrows, "Song Xinting?"

"Yes."

Chu Yue bowed his hands and said respectfully: "The disciples of Zixiao Palace have been doing a lot in Shifang City these days. I didn't know that they were looking for someone until last night when I received a message, and that person was Zang Yuefeng. Song Xinting, Junior Brother Song."

Maybe it has something to do with Ruan Qiu, Lu Mingfeng is also anxious, "I heard that someone saw Junior Brother Song appearing in an unnamed town hundreds of miles outside the ghost city last night. There is also news that Junior Brother Song has been arrested by Zixiao Palace since the Flower Dynasty Festival began. After being rescued by a mysterious woman two days ago, there was no news until he was found near the suspected ghost town last night. Now Zixiao Palace has taken back the search staff in the city, and sent disciples out of the city to the direction of the ghost city overnight Go, even if that mysterious woman won't hurt Junior Brother Song, I'm afraid that Junior Brother Song will be isolated and helpless, and will be forced into a ghost town by Zixiao Palace!"

Yin Wuchen didn't expect that Song Xinting would be hunted down by Zixiao Palace. After all, he was the elder brother who grew up with Ruan Qiu and a disciple of Xuanji Sect. He had to help, but he didn't have much time left.

Forget it, no matter what, let Xiaoqiu feel at ease by resolving this matter first.

Yin Wuchen made a plan and told the two, "Now that Xie Xuanqing is retreating, Yan Buping is in charge of Zixiao Palace. After all, Song Xinting is a disciple of my sect. I will personally discuss this matter with Yan Buping."

He paused, and then said: "Don't tell Xiaoqiu, he is not in good health recently."

Lu Mingfeng and Chu Yue didn't reply, they looked straight behind Yin Wuchen.

Yin Wuchen knew it was too late, turned around and saw Ruan Qiu.

Ruan Qiu was wearing a thin spring shirt, and a few long strands of long hair that blocked his eyes were simply tied up. There was still a bit of unconcealable fatigue between his brows. At this moment, his face was also pale. He looked at Yin Wuchen and sighed softly: "Master, I heard everything."

Zixiao Palace chased and killed Song Xinting, what he didn't want to happen, still happened.

The author has something to say:

In the past few days, I have been visiting relatives endlessly, and I happened to encounter a more difficult plot line... I thought this chapter could be transferred to the next map, but I overestimated myself. After thinking about it, it was updated in the middle of the night, it was too late Sorry, I wish you all the best on the first day of 666!
