Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

Most of the ghost towns that are rumored refer to the old Mingzhou city. The old Mingzhou city is backed by the desolate Youye Mountains in the north, where the frost and snow are thousands of miles away. Located on the edge of the main channel in the middle and upper reaches of the Yunshui River, it occupies the pure aura of the Yunshui River.

However, since the blood demon sect massacred the city many years ago, this place has become a ghost city. The resentment accumulated after the death of the people in the city, coupled with the perennial storm attack, seems to never stop, even the people of the blood demon sect Don't dare to set foot here again.

The impact of the storm was so great that it sealed off the range of a hundred miles outside the ghost town, and many towns and villages near the ghost town have been gradually abandoned over the years. Now, the safe places outside the ghost town are still hundreds of miles away from the ghost town.

Baijiazhai is the only village still inhabited hundreds of miles away from the ghost town.

The haze shrouded the sky over Baijiazhai all the year round. Due to the ghost town storm spreading out year after year, the wind and sand were relatively large. Yin Wuchen led Ruan Qiu to the front of the village, and a sword energy popped up without a trace, shaking the sand on Ruan Qiu's clothes, and his eyes felt a little distressed. .

"Are you ok?"

Ruan Qiu pulled off the face scarf that covered his mouth and nose, and slowly shook his head while supporting his suffocated chest, "I'm fine, but the wind and sand are too heavy, and I can't breathe." He looked at the dilapidated village not far away, feeling curious , "What is that place?"

"It's called Baijiazhai, it's the closest to the ghost town, and it's still a safe place to stay." Yin Wuchen took Ruan Qiu's hand and sent him some spiritual power, then led him there, "I still remember the first time I came here At that time, because I couldn’t fight the ghost mother, and was accidentally entered by a ghost bead, I stayed here for a while before leaving the ghost town in embarrassment. At that time, I thought, if the ghost mother is not eliminated, I will definitely come to the ghost town again , so it took a lot of effort to set up a teleportation array in the mountains outside Baijiazhai. Unfortunately, the journey is too far away, no matter how much material is consumed, this teleportation array can only be used once. I used it when I came back in my previous life. I didn’t expect that I would bring you here in this life, but your cultivation level is not high, and it’s inevitable that you will feel uncomfortable when you teleport for the first time, so let’s rest in the village first, and then enter the ghost town tomorrow.”

Ruan Qiu knew that her body was a drag on Yin Wuchen, so she listened to him in everything, nodded, obediently let him lead her away, and couldn't help frowning, "Master, there are still three days left before the deadline set by the ghost mother." , did we enter the ghost town so early?"

"She forced me to come to the ghost temple this time, it must have been premeditated." Yin Wuchen said: "We can't sit and wait for death. The storm in the ghost city is now several times weaker than in the past. I will protect you and you can still go in. After all, It is the territory of the ghost mother, you and I are not familiar with this place, to be on the safe side, let's go to the ghost town to see the situation first, and then fight against the ghost mother."

Ruan Qiu said in his heart that the master thought well, Yin Wuchen tightened his hand, and said to him: "The ghost city used to be the location of the extremely powerful first family, the Nie family. It is rumored that countless treasures were buried in the ruins of the Nie family. As the news spread, many people must have rushed here for this reason. There are many more people in this Baijiazhai, and people from our sect have also come, and I will take you to meet them later."

Ruan Qiu nodded, "Okay."

The elder from the outer sect sent by the Xuanji Sect is a member of the Dazong sect. He has already lived in the Baijiazhai openly and aboveboard. There are not many people in the village, and everyone will know if there is any movement. The elder soon arrived at the gate of the village to greet him Yin Wuchen.

Elder Zhong met the two of them and led them into the village.

Elder Zhong also brought some disciples over. In order to observe the movement of the ghost town, he also stayed in Baijiazhai for a while, explaining what they knew in trepidation along the way.

Over the past few days, the storm in the ghost city has gradually weakened. Some monks who were originally staying outside the ghost city tried to enter some people, but Elder Zhong and his cultivation base are not high, and Elder Zhong is only at the late stage of Jindan, so he did not dare to rush in into a ghost town.

What's more, a lot of people have come to Baijiazhai recently, and some monks have come to wait and see from a few deserted villages in the distance.As far as Elder Zhong and the others knew, among those people were people from Shifang City, Zixiao Palace, and the Western Regions. The major sects on the north and south coasts, and Cang Yao also sent people to join in the fun.

Elder Zhong didn't pay much attention to those single shadows from the small sect, but some people from the Demon Sect also came, and they were a little worried.

"The day before yesterday, when the storm stopped for a while, some cultivators from the Demon Sect broke into the ghost town, and some people followed in, but they never came out, and no news came out. I don't know what happened." Elder Zhong said: " I have inquired about people from Zixiao Palace and Shifang City in the past two days, and they said that they are from Blood Shadow Palace, and there is another one named Shen Cuo, who is said to be the ghost mother's apprentice, but he entered last night."

Hearing this name, Ruan Qiu was a little concerned, "What time was last night?"

"Probably early last night. By the way..." Elder Zhong remembered something and hurriedly reported to Yin Wuchen, "Yesterday morning, people from Zixiao Palace suddenly came to inquire about a disciple of our sect named Song Xinting. It is said that he is Zixiao. The son of Song Jingfeng, a traitor from Xiao Palace, has appeared near the ghost town in the past few days."

Ruan Qiu became nervous, "Then Elder Zhong, has he seen Song Xinting?"

Elder Zhong shook his head, "No, we have been paying attention to the people who come and go to the ghost city on the surface in the past few days. Although some people don't know what forces are behind them, there should be no such Song Xinting." Admiring and revering, he took the initiative to say: "Master Yin, don't worry, when the people in Zixiao Palace asked about Song Xinting, we didn't say anything."

Yin Wuchen nodded, "Okay."

With just one word, the young outer sect elder's eyes burst out with incomparable excitement, and his whole body became more energetic.

Although Baijiazhai is big, there are not many people. There are many empty houses in the village. Elder Zhong and the others stayed in a wooden building that had been abandoned for a long time. After a while, several people returned to the wooden building.

But Ruan Qiu was so preoccupied at the moment, he didn't have the time to look at his place tonight, and stood aside absent-mindedly, not even knowing when Elder Zhong and his two disciples left.

After watching Elder Zhong and the others leave, Yin Wuchen, who knew why Ruan Qiu was worried, put his hand on the back of Ruan Qiu's hand, and comforted him, "Maybe Song Xinting didn't come to the ghost town, so he should be fine."

Although the ghost city is dangerous, it can stop the disciples of Zixiao Palace. If Song Xinting does not enter the ghost city, it will be difficult to escape the pursuit of Zixiao Palace.

Ruan Qiu still couldn't be relieved, but he also understood that his master was going to see the ghost mother in these two days, and maybe they couldn't leave the ghost city smoothly. He didn't want the master to distract him at this juncture, so he said: "I know , Master has already done a lot for us. Next, it depends on brother's luck."

He has already left a letter to Yan Buping to intercede, hoping that Yan Buping can keep Song Xinting alive for the sake of Ruan Lingzhao and Gu Lanjun's son, and the rest can only depend on God's will.

If they can leave the ghost town smoothly, I hope Song Xinting is still alive at that time.

Seeing his haggard look, Yin Wuchen couldn't help feeling distressed, "Xiao Qiu, go to sleep first, you haven't had much rest these two days."

Ruan Qiu's expression changed slightly, and he quickly shook his head, "No, I don't want to sleep. I've already arrived at the gate of the ghost city, and I'm afraid that after I fall asleep, I will..."

He didn't go on talking, Yin Wuchen also knew what he was afraid of, seeing Ruan Qiu's insistence on this, he had no choice but to take a step back, and coaxed: "Okay, then I will accompany you around the village?"

Ruan Qiu didn't dare to fall asleep, his heart was in a mess, and Yin Wuchen didn't dare to let him relax and think about it, so he just took him out to relax.

This time Ruan Qiu did not refuse, and let Yin Wuchen lead him out.

Many monks who came to watch the changes in the ghost city had already poured into this Baijiazhai. The few villagers in the village were not surprised by these outsiders, and would avoid these monks instead.

Yin Wuchen and Ruan Qiu went around the village, but they didn't meet many aborigines in the village, instead they met some strange monks, perhaps because they were afraid, they didn't come forward.

Ruan Qiu had the illusion that these monks had taken over the village.

He was actually not in the mood to hang out outside, but it was Yin Wuchen who led him out, talking all the way, Ruan Qiu's dull mood improved a bit, he looked up and caught a glimpse of a small stone-brick temple on a hillside not far away, and also came some interest.

"That place looks a bit out of place with this stockade."

Hearing Ruan Qiu's words, Yin Wuchen also noticed this small temple on the hillside. It was clear that there were no people in the village, but the cauldron in front of the temple was filled with smoke and incense. Obviously, many people came here every day. fragrant.Looking at the crescent moon carved with huge stones on the roof of the small temple, and the vermilion or dark black cloth strips flying on the wooden posts in front of the temple, this stone temple seems a bit weird.

A stone tablet was erected in front of the temple, on which was pressed a piece of faded red cloth, and the cinnabar engraved on the stone tablet had also faded, but Yin Wuchen had good eyesight, so he could see the words clearly at a glance.

"Fox Fairy Temple."

Ruan Qiu asked curiously: "The people in this Baijiazhai believe in the fox fairy so much that they built a fox fairy temple for the fox fairy?"

Yin Wuchen saw that there was nothing wrong with the Fox Immortal Temple, and Ruan Qiu was rarely interested, so he said, "There seems to be someone in the temple, go in and have a look."

There was indeed an old man in front of the Fox Immortal Temple, his hair was half white, his back was hunched, and he was sweeping the ground in front of the temple. Thinking of the villagers who had seen them from afar and turned away, Ruan Qiu didn't want to disturb the old man, but Yin Wuchen directly Pulling him to the front of the temple, the old man seemed to have just discovered them. Looking back, Ruan Qiu saw an old face with many wrinkles and brown spots, and a pair of cloudy eyes. .

"Master!" Ruan Qiu hastily grabbed Yin Wuchen, and smiled at the old man, "Don't be afraid, we are just passing by, we won't hurt you."

Yin Wuchen raised his eyebrows, and followed Ruan Qiu's wishes, and didn't come any closer.

But the old man glanced at them indifferently, then lowered his head with the broom in his arms and continued to sweep the fallen leaves on the ground, his slow old voice could not hear the slightest fear, "I'm here, I'm really curious about what's going on in the temple, come in and have a look .”

This old man has a different name from those villages that run away when they see outsiders, and even take the initiative to ask them to enter the Fox Immortal Temple?Ruan Qiu was stunned, and looked at Yin Wuchen, but his master was as calm as ever, nodded to the old man, and led him in.

"Let's go."

Ruan Qiu was dragged in by him, still hesitating, "Do you really want to go in?"

Yin Wuchen bent his lips and smiled softly, with a gentle and indulgent expression, "You are interested, and no one is stopping you, so why not go in and see if there is any?"

Ruan Qiu looked at the old man who turned his back to sweep the floor in front of the temple, and then looked at Yin Wuchen holding his hand, feeling a little shy in his heart, lowered his head slightly, and quickly followed his master into the fox fairy temple.

This Baijiazhai was originally remote and poor, and the Fox Immortal Temple built here is not big, and the temple is quite simple, but it is clean.As soon as he entered the temple, Ruan Qiu saw the two-person tall fox-tailed stone statue in the temple.

"It's really a fox fairy."

Hearing Ruan Qiu's soft sigh, Yin Wuchen couldn't help laughing, "Since it is a fox fairy temple, it is natural for the fox fairy to be enshrined. Otherwise, Xiao Qiu thinks, what magical powers can there be in this temple?"

Ruan Qiu said in shame: "I saw that the master wanted to come in, and I thought there was a fraud here."

Yin Wuchen's smile deepened, "Could it be that we always encounter dangerous things when we are with Master, so Xiaoqiu thinks there is a problem here too."

Ruan Qiu coughed lightly, not daring to say that he really had this idea.But this Fox Fairy Temple is indeed very normal. He looked up at the human fox tail statue, and said softly: "Speaking of the Fox Fairy Temple, I suddenly thought of a person. Somewhat similar to that person."

Yin Wuchen asked: "Who?"

Ruan Qiu smiled without saying a word, looked at the fox fairy statue quietly for a while, and sighed with a smile: "Stories like the love between a fox fairy and a mortal are often found in story books, and most of these stories will have an unhappy ending. Thinking of the story that person told me, I can’t escape this ending. When I saw this fox fairy temple here today, I thought of the story that person told me. I don’t know the fox girl who was killed by the sweetheart in his story. At the moment before he died, did he have any regrets in his heart?"

Yin Wuchen remembered the story about the fox girl that Ruan Qiu had told him, and realized who Ruan Qiu was talking about.

He turned his head to look at Ruan Qiu, and Ruan Qiu glanced behind him without any trace.

There were only the two of them in the temple, and it was very quiet. The sound of sweeping the floor outside the door was very obvious, but after Ruan Qiu finished speaking, the sound stopped, and the old man outside the door also stood up straight.

There was a smile in Yin Wuchen's eyes, "Whether she has regretted it or not, probably only the fox girl herself knows. Maybe she will hate that person, the person she loved all her life but failed her."

Ruan Qiu lowered his eyes and said, "Maybe."

The old man in front of the door finally turned his head and looked at them with vicissitudes of life and turbid eyes, and his tone was a bit displeased, "Who are you guys? Isn't it too shameful to talk about those unknown stories in the Fox Fairy Temple?" Thank you."

Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen looked at each other, then turned to look at the old man, his pale and beautiful face was full of innocence, "I'm sorry, we were really just passing by, and what I said just now was just out of feeling."

Yin Wuchen hummed, his tone was still light, "We have no malicious intentions."

The old man stared at them vigilantly for a while, and without knowing what to think, he put down his broom and walked into the temple, picking up the melons and fruits enshrined on the table.

Ruan Qiu saw that he didn't want to talk to them, probably he wasn't the person he thought, but the Fox Fairy Temple appeared in Baijiazhai outside the ghost town, and he insisted that it was not a coincidence.After thinking for a while, he said: "The person I know told me a story about a fox girl who concealed her identity, met and fell in love with a mortal, and gave birth to a son, but in the end, the fox girl's identity was exposed and killed by a mortal. The child was also put on the altar."

The old man stopped.

Looking at his stiffened back, Ruan Qiu became more and more sure that this person had something to do with the person he was thinking of, and then said: "That child is not dead, he was saved by a passing fairy, who severely punished ignorant people , Let them build the Fox Fairy Temple and worship and offer incense every day as atonement. However, he didn’t tell me the fate of the mortals who failed the fox girl.”

The old man slowly put down the rag that was wiping the table in his hand, as if he didn't hear Ruan Qiu's words, he lit a stick of incense and put it into the incense burner.

Ruan Qiu saw it, and asked Yin Wuchen pretending to be puzzled, "Master, what do you think will happen to this mortal? What will happen to that child after being taken away by the fairy?"

Yin Wuchen looked at the old man and said, "The mortal is probably dead. As for that child, is it really a fairy who took him away?"

Ruan Qiu asked with a smile: "If you saved the child of the fox girl, what is it if it's not a fairy?"

A coolness flashed in Yin Wuchen's eyes, "Maybe it's an evil spirit."

This time before Ruan Qiu answered, the old man said abruptly, "It's just a story, why bother with fairies and evil spirits."

Ruan Qiu's eyes lit up, the old man finally reacted a bit, and if it was a little later, they would say Shen Zhuohan's name.

But what the old man said was not what Ruan Qiu wanted to hear, so Ruan Qiu asked him, "So, the old man seems to have a different opinion?"

The old man turned his head and gave him a sideways glance. He seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't leave. He sat down on the futon in front of the statue of the fox fairy, and said, "The fox fairy in our Baijiazhai is not the messy ones in the story books. Hu Xian, she is an undoubted fairy, she has saved many people, she is ten thousand times better than that so-called fairy you mentioned! I don't know what you are here for, if you continue to disrespect her..."

The old man looked up at the statue of the fox fairy, staring almost obsessively at the face that outlined the charm of the fox fairy, and snorted in a cold tone, "Then I will drive you out with a broom!"

He really doesn't seem to know anything, could it be that they guessed wrong?

Ruan Qiu frowned, and asked unwillingly: "But the incense is very strong here, why don't people come to worship? Are the people in the village sincerely worshiping the fox fairy? I'm just talking to the one who was taken away by the fairy in the story I just told Children are curious."

"Who told you the story, if you ask that person, don't you know?"

Looking at the immutable fox fairy statue for more than ten years, the old man paused, and his tone finally softened, "The child who was taken away by a fairy or a ghost may never come back, and he will never want to come back. You It’s useless to come here to inquire, and no one will care whether that mortal is dead or not. The story is just a story, and the result has already been told to you. It doesn’t matter what happens to those unimportant people.”

Ruan Qiu asked suspiciously: "You said that child, he really hasn't come back?"

"No."

The old man closed his eyes, "Perhaps not coming back is the best ending."

Ruan Qiu couldn't understand, but before he could ask again, Yin Wuchen held his hand, shook his head slightly, and led him out of the Fox Fairy Temple.

After walking down the small hill, Ruan Qiu looked back at the Fox Immortal Temple behind him, feeling a lot of doubts, "Isn't this the village where the fox girl in Shen Zhuohan's story lived? The old man's attitude towards this story just now was also very strange. "

Yin Wuchen said: "This story may be true, and this place may really be the village in Shen Zhuohan's story, but Xiaoqiu, Shen Zhuohan has already entered the ghost town last night, and this fox fairy temple has not been tampered with, maybe it is true. According to the temple guard, Shen Zhuohan never came back."

Ruan Qiu was discouraged and said: "I thought I could get some clues from here, which would help Master win more in the fight against the ghost mother."

"Ghost Mother's weakness is not here. Shen Zhuohan is only one of her apprentices. She doesn't even care about her own son Nie Wuhuan, and she won't hand over her weaknesses to her apprentice." Yin Wuchen understood Ruan Qiu's intentions and never blamed him Messy, just gently rubbed Ruan Qiu's head, "I know you mean no harm, but Xiao Qiu, there should be nothing here, we still have to go to the ghost temple to fight the ghost mother after all."

Ruan Qiu rubbed his palm, and Qiu Shui's eyes were full of anxiety, "I'm really useless, I can't help Master, just passing through the teleportation array made me feel uncomfortable for a long time, afraid of being backlashed by the ghost beads, I didn't even dare to sleep, Master, why do you like me?"

"Like is just like, what is the reason? You are not useless, you are very powerful, don't forget, you are the one who saved the emperor Cang Yao, and the owner of Shifang City." Yin Wuchen looked nervous for him like this Anxious Ruan Qiu, eyes full of affection, lightly held his hand and said: "Xiao Qiu, don't be afraid, we agreed to live and die together, the worst is death. In the next life, I will find you."

Ruan Qiu's eyes sparkled, "But I don't want Master to die, I want Master to live..." He looked at Yin Wuchen with serious eyes, "Master, if... I mean if, after entering the ghost temple , if Ghost Bead really wants me to kill you, you must kill me first, I would rather die by your hands than be controlled by Ghost Bead to do something that hurts you!"

Yin Wuchen couldn't help being startled, and lowered his head to meet Ruan Qiu's eyebrows, with a helpless smile, "If you say anything stupid, we will all live."

Ruan Qiu opened his lips, wanting to say that he has been successfully manipulated by the ghost bead, and this situation may really happen, so Yin Wuchen must be on guard against him, but Yin Wuchen stopped him when he reached his mouth.

Yin Wuchen gently kissed the corner of Ruan Qiu's lips, and hugged him into his arms.

"Don't be afraid."

A few strands of warm yellow twilight from the setting sun leaked out from the gaps in the clouds, and the wind and sand still remained, casting a layer of haze on this silent land.

Yin Wuchen said softly: "It will be fine."

He always likes to coax Ruan Qiu like this. Ruan Qiu knows that Yin Wuchen may not have much chance of winning, but being coaxed and coaxed, he really calms down a lot, and he doesn't want to worry Yin Wuchen anymore.

Ruan Qiu withdrew from Yin Wuchen's arms, "I'm fine, let's go back."

Yin Wuchen responded, but turned his back to Ruan Qiu and bowed slightly.

"Come up."

Ruan Qiu was a little surprised, "Master?"

Yin Wuchen looked at him sideways, his eyes were full of pampering and worry, "You are unhappy, Master will carry you back. Don't think too much, you still have a child in your stomach, how can I prevent you from going back?"

How could Ruan Qiu forget the child in his belly, he was even more worried about Yin Wuchen.

But why is his master... still only caring about coaxing him at this time?

Ruan Qiu's heart was sour, but he seemed to be covered with warmth. He bit his lip, leaned over and climbed up Yin Wuchen's back. Yin Wuchen straightened up, carried him on his back effortlessly, and walked back.

"There is a generation gap between you and me. There is a huge difference in age and cultivation. It is rare to walk together. This is actually something to be happy about. Xiaoqiu, don't think too much, let's go, and the master will carry you back!"

When he jerked suddenly, Ruan Qiu was so frightened that he quickly hugged his neck, and then hurriedly covered his stomach, "Master, be gentle!"

Yin Wuchen smiled loudly, and walked into the village with Ruan Qiu on his back, "Okay, we must be careful when carrying Xiaoqiu and our children on our backs."

Ruan Qiu really didn't understand why he could smile so happily at this time, but it was rare to see him showing such a side. He felt awkward in his heart, but couldn't help being infected by his happiness, the corners of his mouth raised, and he leaned against him helplessly. on the shoulders.

"Yin Wuchen."

This was one of the few times when Ruan Qiu called Yin Wuchen's name face to face, Yin Wuchen's smile faded away, and he looked back at Ruan Qiu, "Yes."

Ruan Qiu tilted his head and put his soft cheek against Yin Wuchen's side face, and whispered: "I entrusted me and the child to you, you must take good care of us, and you must never abandon us."

Yin Wuchen sighed with a smile, "Okay."

Naturally, he was reluctant to leave Ruan Qiu behind, after all, it took him two lifetimes to catch up.

It was dusk, and when the master and apprentice returned to the small building, black clouds had already appeared in the sky.

The small building was dark, and no one lit the lights.

When he got to the fence outside the building, Ruan Qiu smelled blood and felt something was wrong, so he patted Yin Wuchen on the shoulder and asked him to let him down.

Yin Wuchen also noticed it, but the opponent's movements were faster than him. Just as he let Ruan Qiu down, a group of people poured out from the woods inside and outside the building, and surrounded them in a blink of an eye.

A fire was lit inside the small building, someone lit a torch, escorted Elder Zhong and several Xuanji sect disciples who were tied up and gagged, out, the leader was wearing a black cloak.

Facing Elder Shang Zhong's begging eyes, Yin Wuchen immediately protected Ruan Qiu behind him, his eyes sank, and fell on the man in black.

"The man in the demon gate?"

It was getting late, and Shifang City was as quiet as usual after the Huachao Festival, especially the already secluded alleys on the edge of the inner city.

Song Xinting stood in front of the small courtyard where he lived with Ruan Qiu and A Xi for half a month, raised his hand several times to knock on the door, but took it back.

He didn't know how to tell Ruan Qiu that he was going to be away for a long time, and he didn't know whether he should confess to Ruan Qiu that he was Song Jingfeng's son.

But he doesn't have much time, after tonight, Qi Yun will take him out of the city.

Song Xinting sighed secretly, raised his hand again, and was about to knock on the door when an exclamation sounded from far behind—"Senior Brother Song!"

Song Xinting was still being pursued by the people of Zixiao Palace, and he subconsciously clenched his sword hilt when he heard the sound. Even when he turned around and saw only Axi and Li Yu standing in the alley, he still couldn't let go of his vigilance.

"How are you?"

Li Yu was also quite surprised, and made a gesture behind his back to ask the hidden guard to hide first, and asked, "Don't we should ask why it is you? Ruan Qiu's... brother, Song Xinting."

Ah Xi didn't think too much about it. When she saw Song Xinting, she ran over and said with a sigh of relief, "Senior Brother Song is fine. I heard that you are being hunted down by Zixiao Palace, and you are about to be forced into a ghost town. I am still hesitating." Do you want to tell Brother Xiaoqiu..."

She paused and looked towards the dimly lit courtyard door, "Why don't you go in?"

Li Yu was quite jealous of this elder brother who was lucky enough to watch Ruan Qiu grow up. Now that the news that Song Xinting is Song Jingfeng's son has spread, Li Yu is afraid that he will bring trouble to Ruan Qiu. He didn't like it, but he didn't expect that Axi who was beside him would leave him and run away when he saw someone. He was so angry that he took a deep breath, hurriedly followed and held her shoulder before Axi rushed over, with a faint tone, "Damn girl!" , you have a big heart, and you are not afraid of being plotted against."

Axi slapped Li Yu's hand off indifferently, "This is Senior Brother Song, Brother Xiaoqiu's brother, Brother Xiaoqiu is a good person, and Senior Brother Song is not a bad person." She asked Song Xinting again, "Did Senior Brother Song come back to find Xiaoqiu?" Brother Qiu, why don’t you go in? But it’s getting dark, why is it so dark in the yard, did brother Xiaoqiu forget to turn on the lamp?”

Song Xinting was surprised at Axi's trust in him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Yu secretly thought that the dead girl turned her elbows outward, and when he saw Song Xinting, he was also a little puzzled, "Although I don't know why you came back, but since you are all back, you should go in first. I think you should owe Ruan Qiu an explanation now." Bar."

Song Xinting's eyes flickered, "Yes."

He still owes Ruan Qiu an explanation.

In Ah Xi's eyes, the problem is coming, and the solution is the solution. She didn't think too much, she raised her hand and pushed the door open, "We were planning to say goodbye to brother Xiaoqiu before going to Cang Yao tomorrow. I didn't expect to hear about Senior Brother Song first." Li Yu and I were worried about the matter, so we came over to see Brother Xiaoqiu first, eh... the door opened."

She just pushed lightly, and the defensive circle in front of the door lit up, and the door opened.

Li Yu corrected Ah Xi's words, "It's back to Cangyao, back! What's so strange about the door being opened, can the formation formed by Ruan Qiu guard against you? But it seems that there is really no one in this courtyard."

He glanced into the yard, and it was pitch black inside, as if there was no one there.

Axi looked puzzled, and walked in first. Li Yu felt a headache again when she saw this, and hurriedly followed, "Can't you wait for us? In case there is danger inside, what happens to you, how can I tell you that freshly baked What did your senior brother Lan Tui say?"

"It's not my first time here, and don't you all know that this is Brother Xiaoqiu's place? Sword Saint Yin is still there before!"

Hearing these words, Song Xinting snapped back to his senses, turned his head to look at the two people who had already entered the front yard, hesitated for a moment, and followed in.

There was no one in the courtyard.

Ah Xi ran back and forth, but didn't see Ruan Qiu or Yin Wuchen. Li Yu followed slowly and lit the oil lamp in the main room, and Ah Xi ran back anxiously.

"It's bad! Brother Xiaoqiu's stuff is gone, he went to the ghost temple!"

After the words fell, Song Xinting, who had just stepped into the main room, froze suddenly. His face was full of disbelief, and he opened his eyes wide, staring at Ah Xi in a daze.

Ah Xi held an open letter in her hand, her expression was not as comfortable as before, because she was too anxious to run back, she was panting, "This is the letter I found in brother Xiaoqiu's room!"

Li Yu was also surprised, and reached out to take the letter.

"give me……"

As soon as Song Xinting saw the letter, he rushed to snatch the letter from Axi's hand before Li Yu.Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Li Yu gave up fighting with him and had to turn around and ask Ah Xi.

"What did the letter say?"

Ah Xi was so anxious that she simply told Li Yu the contents of the letter, "Brother Xiaoqiu said that he went to the ghost temple with Yin Jiansheng!"

Li Yu calmed down a little after hearing the words, "That's okay, Sword Saint Yin has also gone."

Ah Xi hadn't finished speaking yet, seeing Li Yu relaxed, she said anxiously: "But Brother Xiaoqiu said that he may not come back!"

Li Yu almost didn't come up in one breath, he glanced at A Xi quietly, and moved behind Song Xinting, intending to see clearly by himself.

This moment of effort was enough for Song Xinting to read the contents of the letter, his complexion suddenly turned pale, he dropped the letter and raised his sword, turned around and left.

Li Yu was caught off guard, and hurriedly caught the letter that floated down. He watched Song Xinting run out. He didn't know what he was in a hurry for, but he didn't care about it, so he opened the letter to check.

Not long after, Li Yu's face also became serious. The content of the letter was roughly as A Xi said, and Ruan Qiu really went to the ghost temple.Moreover, he followed Yin Wuchen to seek revenge on the ghost mother.

Seeing Li Yu's expression changed, Ah Xi was confused and anxious, "Who is the ghost mother? Don't look, Brother Song is gone again!"

Li Yu put down the letter, held down her hand that was pulling his sleeve, with a calm and heavy expression, "Let's just go, don't worry about him."

Ah Xi may not know who the ghost mother is, but Li Yu has heard of it.He quickly made a decision and walked out of the main room, "My cousin is in danger, go back and find Lan Cui first, and then save him!"

When they went back to look for Lan Cui, Song Xinting was also rushing in a direction that no one expected. Along the way, the words of Ruan Qiuliu's letter echoed in his ears. In front of the gate of Yunlai Inn.

Just last night, after waking up from a nightmare, Ruan Qiu wrote this letter under the lamp.

At that time, he was not sure who would read the letter first, but he hoped that the person who saw the letter could help him pass on a word to Song Xinting.

"I don't know if my brother is really in the ghost temple, but I hope that the person who reads this letter will be my brother. I decided to go to the ghost temple, not only to find him, but also because my master and I had to go. In order to find revenge for the ghost mother, but also to survive. Don’t worry about it, don’t worry, I will try my best to come back. If the person who read this letter is not my brother, I hope you can help me pass a word to him—— Whenever, No matter what happens, Song Xinting will always be Ruan Qiu's brother. Even after knowing the identities of my parents, I always hope that my brother can live a good life. I don't have to bear the grievances of the previous generation, let go of all my thoughts, and live a truly carefree life. "

It turns out that Ruan Qiu knew everything he was hiding. Even though Ruan Qiu said that it was not because of him that he entered the ghost town, if Qi Yun hadn't spread rumors that he was forced into the ghost town in order to save him, maybe Ruan Qiu would not have gone. Or if he came back earlier last night, he could prevent Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen from going to the ghost town.

Everyone knows that the ghost town is dangerous, if not for this, Qi Yun would not deliberately trick people from Zixiao Palace to go to the ghost town, not to mention that the ghost mother in the ghost town is no less ruthless than the master of the Blood Shadow Palace.

Song Xinting was filled with remorse, looking at the gate of Yunlai Inn right in front of him, he finally took that step and walked to the gate.

It was already dark, and the door of the Zixiao Palace Inn was closed tightly. The disciple guarding the door was suddenly awakened by Song Xinting's loud shout——

"Yan Buping, come out! I am Song Xinting, the son of Song Jingfeng!"

Song Xinting clenched his long sword tightly, stared at the door in front of him, gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't you going to kill me? Come out now!"

As soon as these words came out, there was movement from inside the door, a ray of light passed through the opened door and fell on the face of Song Xinting in front of the door. He closed his eyes, only heard the sound of footsteps getting closer, and turned his head. Look, it really has been surrounded by Zixiao Palace disciples.

A group of Zixiao Palace disciples surrounded him vigilantly, with their swords out of their sheaths.

No one thought that they had been looking for Song Xinting for so long, and now the news that Zixiao Palace chased and killed Song Xinting was spreading wildly. At this juncture, Song Xinting would dare to come back!

Isn't this self-inflicted?

Song Xinting glanced at the crowd, but he couldn't find the person he wanted to see. He looked into the door of the inn again, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, he bent his knees, and knelt down in front of the door.

"Yan Buping, come out! I know where Ruan Lingzhao and Gu Lanjun's son is! If you don't come, he might die!"

The author has something to say:
