Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Lin Rufei rarely felt that Gu Xuan would show such a fragile appearance.Although he didn't know what happened, Lin Rufei chose to trust him unconditionally. He stood quietly on the spot and let Gu Xuandu put his weight on his body.

He Jitian's movements were extremely fast, three times, five times and two times, he had already dug out most of the roots of the tree.Although the He family was heartbroken when they saw this, no one dared to step forward to stop them. They could only watch helplessly as He Jitian dug out the Shujiu tree little by little.However, when most of the Xuyu tree was dug out, the golden walnut tree turned into golden sparks and slowly fell off from the Xuyu tree.Everyone was shocked when they saw such a spectacle, but what surprised them was yet to come. This magnificent piece of sparks gathered in one direction as if they were alive, and finally landed on the scene Beside a certain person, that person is the distinguished guest who just came to He's house yesterday... Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei was also shocked by this scene. More than 100 iron and gold walnuts all turned into sparks and landed on his head and shoulders. Before he could react, they quickly merged into his body.He stretched out his hand to grab it, and Xinghuo changed back into a walnut-like shape in his palm.Lin Rufei looked at the walnut in his hand, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in his heart. He looked up, and sure enough, all the He family members present were staring at him, but there was surprise, doubt, and a little bit in their eyes. of bad.

Although He Jitian who was holding the shovel showed a little surprise, he quickly recovered his calm, and continued to wave the shovel in his hand as if no one else was there, and continued to dig the soil. Soon, he dug up the tree by its roots. out.The Shujiu, which was not too big, fell to the ground in response, accompanied by the low weeping sound from the crowd of the He family.Some young wives of the He family watched their most precious treasure tree being uprooted like this, and couldn't accept it for a while.

He Jitian naturally heard it too, but he was still unmoved, and continued to dig down vigorously. The soil layer gradually disappeared, and a blood-red box was exposed from the bottom. When He Jitian saw this The red box heaved a sigh of relief, dropped the shovel in his hand, and carefully took out the red box.

"Father, what is this?" He Xieyi remained calm, not surprised by the strangeness present, and asked after seeing the red box.

But He Jitian didn't respond. After taking out the red box, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped off the dirt on the red box.Everyone thought that his next move was to open the red box, but he didn't intend to open it at all, but walked up to Lin Rufei holding the red box.

At this time, Lin Rufei's whole body was covered with sparks, and at first glance, he looked like a glowing golden man. Seeing He Jitian's movements, he was slightly taken aback, and said, "Patriarch He?"

He Jitian smiled and said, "Young Master Lin, please accept it."

Lin Rufei said, "But..."

"This is yours." He Jitian said, "Although I don't know who you are, but according to the ancestor's teaching, this thing should be yours."

This is very strange, Lin Rufei stood here clearly, but He Jitian said he didn't know who he was.Lin Rufei was slightly hesitant, but He Jitian's eyes were very determined, as if Lin Rufei would not leave unless he took him, so Lin Rufei had no choice but to reach out and take the red box.The red box is very heavy to buy, and I don't know what's inside.Lin Rufei thanked He Jitian in a low voice, but He Jitian waved his hand, saying that these are the rules in the ancestral precepts, what their He family should do, so that Lin Rufei does not need to thank him.

"It's getting late too, let's go away." He Jitian seemed a little tired after finishing all this, so he asked He's family to disperse, and told He Xieyi to send Lin Rufei back to his resting place.

Lin Rufei wanted to decline politely, but He Xinyi put her arms around his neck and said with a smile, "It's about this time, Mr. Lin, don't be too polite." He lowered his voice, "You also look at these people It’s safer for me to send you off.” The He family’s eyes were like wanting to swallow Lin Rufei alive, although they tried their best to suppress it because of He Jitian, but it was already very obvious.

Seeing this, Lin Rufei didn't insist anymore.

He Xieyi sent Lin Rufei to the door, watched him go in, and then turned to leave.After he left, he saw He Jitian standing not far away, He Jitian was still holding the shovel in his hand, just watching from a distance, with a gloomy expression.

"Father." He Xieyi walked up to He Jitian and called out, "Mr. Lin, what is it all about?"

He Jitian took a deep look at He Xieyi, and said, "Do you know where Tianjun went in the end?"

"Didn't Tianjun go away through the void?" He Xieyi frowned, "What does father mean by that?"

He Jitian shook his head: "This matter is extremely secretive, and very few people know about it. The ancestors of our He family knew a thing or two because they were Tianjun's close friends."

He Xieyi stared, feeling that his father's words had touched some unspeakable truth.

"Tianjun did step through the void." He Jitian said, "It's just that he didn't leave."

"Then where is he now?!" He Xieyi asked excitedly.

"I don't know." He Jitian said, "This is the biggest secret in the world, even the Patriarch doesn't know, he only knows that Tianjun has not left, but he doesn't know where he is."

He Xieyi showed a confused look.

"But the thing buried under the tree should be related to Tianjun." He Jitian said.

"So this Mr. Lin is also related to Tianjun?" He Xieyi captured the hidden meaning in He Jitian's words.

He Jitian nodded.

He Xieyi showed a deep thought.

Lin Rufei entered the room and put down the red box in her hand. Gu Xuandu sat next to the red box, stretched out his fingers and gently stroked the red box for a moment.Lin Rufei said, "Is it your stuff in the box?"

Gu Xuan nodded.

Lin Rufei said, "Open it now?"

Gu Xuandu said, "Yes."

For some reason, Lin Rufei became a little nervous. The red box was not locked, and there was only a metal buckle, which could be easily opened by raising her hand. But for some reason, Lin Rufei felt that the contents in the box were bigger than his Heavier than imagined.He pursed his lips slightly, showing a tense expression, but he still didn't make a move.

Seeing this, Gu Xuandu laughed. He hugged Lin Rufei tenderly from behind, held his hand, and said, "What are you afraid of, Xiaojiu? I'm here."

Gu Xuandu's body temperature spread to Lin Rufei's body through the thin clothes. He settled down, hummed, and seemed to be less panicked, so he stretched out his hand and opened the button on the red box.With a soft click, the red box opened in response. When Lin Rufei saw clearly what was inside, he froze in place.

Inside the red box was an incomplete skeleton. On the top was a pale white skull with many scars. One scar even ran through the entire top of the skull, almost splitting the head.The other bones under the skull were also in dilapidated condition, not even a single complete bone could be found. Lin Rufei stared at the fragments of the bones, her nose soured suddenly, and tears fell down her cheeks.He was a little dazed, and after a while, he realized that he was crying.

Gu Xuan, who was behind him, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, with a helpless tone: "Why is Xiao Jiu crying?"

Lin Rufei said: "No... I don't know... I just want to cry." He felt so uncomfortable that he could even speak with a choked-up taste, "It must be very painful."

"It really doesn't hurt." Gu Xuandu rubbed his chin on the top of Lin Rufei's head, as if wanting to appease Lin Rufei's sad mood, he said, "Really, I won't lie to you."

Lin Rufei said, "Stop talking."

Gu Xuandu wanted to say more, but Lin Rufei interrupted him roughly, he said: "Stop talking! How could it not hurt!" He pointed to the wound on the skeleton, "It's all hurt like this, how could it be possible? It doesn't hurt!"

Gu Xuan didn't speak anymore.

"What happened to you, and what does it have to do with me?" Lin Rufei said, "Senior, when are you willing to tell me?"

Gu Xuandu remained silent.

Lin Rufei suddenly let go of his strength, covered his face and stopped talking. He thought that there was nothing he could do about Gu Xuandu who refused to cooperate, but Gu Xuandu laughed, turned his head and touched it lightly with his lips. Lin Rufei touched Lin Rufei's ear, and said in a warm voice: "Xiao Jiu's helpless appearance is really nostalgic."

After he finished speaking, he touched the skeleton in the red box with his fingertips.The bones were touched by Gu Xuandu, and they turned into golden rays of light that enveloped his whole body. He closed his eyes, let out a heavy breath, and looked relieved.

Lin Rufei was watching from the side, and Gu Xuandu's red dress was more colorful, and his expression became a little more lively, as if a painting that had faded had added a little ink and ink.

After doing all this, Gu Xuandu yawned and asked Lin Rufei if she was sleepy.

Lin Rufei said: "No."

Gu Xuandu said: "Xiao Jiu is angry with me."

Lin Rufei kept silent with a cold face.

Gu Xuandu said: "Don't be angry anymore."

Lin Rufei said: "I said I'm not angry."

Gu Xuandu laughed, and the laughter became louder and louder. Lin Rufei frowned and looked at him, then he stopped and said, "No, no, Xiao Jiu is obviously angry, how can I laugh." Even so, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

Lin Rufei had a sense of powerlessness that she couldn't do anything about him. This Gu Xuandu seemed to be easy to talk to, but in fact he was very stubborn in his bones. He usually responded well with his mouth, but in fact he still went his own way.

It was indeed getting late, and Lin Rufei was also feeling tired. After a simple wash, he went to bed, but couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, his mind was full of skeletons.He knew that if he asked Gu Xuandu about this, Gu Xuandu would definitely not tell him, so a thought came to his mind, and he fell asleep drowsily.

The next day was still a hot and sunny day, Lin Rufei got up early and ate the breakfast brought by Fuhua listlessly.

Seeing that Lin Rufei was not in good spirits, Fuhua hurriedly asked him if he was not feeling well.

Lin Rufei shook her head: "Maybe it's too hot."

Fuhua said: "The weather is indeed a bit hot, I went to the He family to get some ice cubes, and I will make some mung bean soup for the young master to drink?"

Lin Rufei said, "I have no appetite."

"You still need to eat if you don't have an appetite." Fu Hua was a little anxious, "Young master is not in good health, so how can you do without eating?"

Lin Rufei responded perfunctorily, and Fuhua could only sigh when she saw this.

After the meal, Lin Rufei went to look for He Jitian. During this journey, the eyes of the He family all fell on him. Most of the eyes were complicated, with curiosity and hostility at the same time. This is normal. Lin Rufei didn't take it to heart either.When Lin Rufei found He Jitian, He Jitian was still eating breakfast. The breakfast of the He family was also unusual. It was a big bowl of stewed noodles. It looked delicious, but the portion was quite substantial.Seeing Lin Rufei coming, He Jitian warmly greeted him to sit down. Lin Rufei hesitated for a moment and said, "Patriarch He, I have something to talk to you in private."

"Oh, okay." He Jitian waved his hand, and the servants and family members beside him left in a sensible manner.

Lin Rufei said: "I don't know if the Patriarch of the He family knows, whose red box you left me last night belongs to?"

He Jitian said: "What's the matter? There is nothing bad in the box, right?"

Lin Rufei shook her head.

"Oh." He Jitian said, "Although the ancestral precepts are not written in it, I guess that the red box should be left by Tianjun."

"What? Left by Tianjun?" Lin Rufei wondered.

He Jitian said: "It's just my personal guess, because the Xuyu tree is a gift from Tianjun to the He family. In this case, the things buried under the Shuyu tree should also be from the hands of Tianjun."

Lin Rufei frowned.

He Jitian said: "What's wrong?"

Lin Rufei suddenly thought of the countless statues of heavenly monarchs in red clothes in Dajing. At that time, he did have this idea in his mind, but he thought it was too absurd, so he put it behind him.Unexpectedly, when he came to He's house and encountered this matter, this idea came to his mind again. Although it was a bit unbelievable, he still felt that this was the answer.

"It's okay." Lin Rufei hesitated, "Does the Patriarch know where Tianjun went?"

He Jitian shook his head, saying that he didn't know.

Lin Rufei had no choice but to give up. Tianjun's whereabouts were indeed a mystery, and the most common theory was that he had left the mortal world and ascended.It's normal for He Jitian not to know. Lin Rufei thought of the broken skeleton and said, "Tianjun...have you ever been injured?"

"Injured? How could Tianjun be injured?" He Jitian laughed when he heard Lin Rufei's question, "Tianjun has already reached the tenth level of cultivation, and no one in the world is invincible. The head of the Wan Yao King, such a person, who else in the world can hurt him?"

Indeed, He Jitian's description is not an exaggeration, the power of the Heavenly King is known all over the world, and his traces are everywhere in the world.This is true of Dajing, and so is the He family. Almost every top monk family has inextricable connections with Tianjun.

What He Jitian said is indeed true, but if Lin Rufei's guess is correct, then why is the skeleton so broken?Lin Rufei fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Lin Rufei stopped talking, He Jitian didn't urge him, and continued to happily eat his stewed noodles.His appetite is very good, and the appearance of eating noodles inexplicably makes people feel very appetizing.Lin Rufei was watching from the side, but He Jitian felt a little embarrassed, wiped his mouth and said, "Mr. Lin, do you want to have a bowl too?"

Lin Rufei said, "No need, I just ate."

"It's okay, just have a small bowl and taste it." He Jitian said, "This is made by my wife. It tastes very good."

Lin Rufei said, "Then... just a small bowl?"

He Jitian was all smiles, and he called his wife over to serve Lin Rufei a small bowl.

So the two began to eat noodles together.

He Jitian asked Lin Rufei why he suddenly mentioned Tianjun, and whether the contents in the box were related to Tianjun.Lin Rufei answered vaguely, saying that he didn't know if it was related, and asked He Jitian why he thought of giving him this thing.

He Jitian said that this is the ancestral instruction, and the ancestors of the He family said that if someone can induce the Shuyu tree to give a hundred iron gold walnuts, then he has to dig out the things under the Shuyu tree and give it to that person. He just didn't expect that this person would be Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei thought that that person might not be herself, but Gu Xuandu who was invisible to everyone...

However, the taste of this stewed noodles is really good. The texture of the noodles is chewy and the soup base is rich, which is very different from the noodles that Lin Rufei has eaten before. Then he got to know some other things with He Jitian, but there was a noisy noise outside the door.

He Jitian's complexion changed, he was about to stand up and run away with the bowl in his hand, but the door had already been knocked open, someone with whom Lin Rufei had met yesterday broke in, and grabbed the He Jitian, who ran but didn't run away, panted and said: "Patriarch of the He family, you are finally willing to see me!!!" This person is the one who wanted to see He Jitian yesterday but was stopped by the servant. Thinking that he came again today, he broke in.

He Jitian gave the servant an unfriendly look, and the servant said dully: "I... I didn't expect him to dare to rush in."

"Patriarch He, what do you mean!" the man said angrily, "Don't you want to control us? That monster is still eating people!"

He Jitian said: "Who said I don't care, didn't I send someone there? The disciples of the He family who were injured are still lying on the bed, do you want me to take you to see them?"

The man said: "They were injured because they were not good at learning. You can't leave us alone just because of this!!"

He Jitian said: "I can't control it, I can't control it." He waved his hand, "This monster is too powerful, who can beat it." Although he was pretending to be afraid, anyone could tell from his tone Hear the taste of ridicule.

The man's face froze, and he said bitterly: "Patriarch He, you are not being kind, that monster has eaten so many innocent passers-by..."

"Innocent passers-by?" He Jitian sneered, "I said Daoist Chen, other people don't know, but I don't know? It did eat people, but it didn't eat a few innocent passers-by."

The visitor who was called Chen Daoren by He Jitian froze slightly.

"You released the news on purpose, you just want to create panic." He Jitian waved his hand in annoyance, "Our He family is not for you to use however you want, I haven't seen you for a few days, I just left some for you Face, don't be shameless."

"You...you!!!" Daoshi Chen's face was livid, as if he didn't expect He Jitian to break his face with him suddenly.

"But if you want us to help you, it's not impossible." Just when Chen Daoshi thought that this matter had no turning point, He Jitian changed the subject again.

"What do you want?" Daoshi Chen asked.

"Don't you know what I want?" He Jitian said, "Naturally it's the thing that makes the demons refuse to leave."

Chen Daoshi said awkwardly: "I don't know what you are talking about..."

He Jitian waved his hand very ruthlessly: "Futon, see off the guests."

The servant called Fu Tuan rushed in immediately, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to force Taoist Chen out.Daoshi Chen was taken aback by the momentum of the futon, and hurriedly said: "Hey hey, Patriarch, Patriarch, don't be so anxious, we can still discuss it!"

"There is nothing to discuss, either hand over the things, or leave immediately." He Jitian said coldly.

"It's okay to hand it over..." Daoshi Chen gritted his teeth, "It's just that you have to make sure to destroy that thing."

He Jitian said: "This is nature."

Daoshi Chen said: "Then I'll bring the things over this afternoon! You have to keep your word!"

He Jitian said: "Our He family has always kept our word."

Taoist Chen snorted, turned around and left, He Jitian stared at Taoist Chen's back and disappeared in embarrassment, then spat viciously on the ground: "What a tattered Taoist priest, you can eat that stuff Yes, don't be afraid of chipping your teeth!"

After finishing speaking, he remembered that Lin Rufei was still beside him, and a kind smile filled his face, saying that nephew Lin Xian was not frightened.

"No." Lin Rufei waved her hand, indicating that she was not that fragile, and then asked what happened.

"Oh, it's a long story." He Jitian said, "It's all because these stupid Taoist priests are too greedy and caused troubles that shouldn't be caused." He briefly described it, and Lin Rufei finally knew what happened.

It turned out that the group of Taoist priests stole a few things belonging to the demons from nowhere, which annoyed the demons. The demons could not enter the Taoist temple where the Taoists lived, so they blocked the way they had to pass when they came out.At first Taoist Chen came to the He family to ask for help, but the He family didn't think too much about it. He heard them say that the cultivation of the demon was only three realms, so he sent a few disciples there. Unexpectedly, those disciples were all seriously injured. It cost my life, but I also need to rest for a long time.After this incident, He Jitian also noticed that something was wrong with this incident. After careful investigation, he found that he had been tricked by these bull-nosed Taoist priests. To put it bluntly, they took all the benefits, but they had to clean up the mess by themselves .

Although He Jitian was a rough man, he was not a brainless person. He made many inquiries, and after confirming that the group of monsters would only attack Taoist priests, he simply let them hang out for a while, watching them anxiously.In order to force the He family to act as soon as possible, the Taoist priests began to spread rumors of monsters attacking passers-by, so that those who did not know the situation did not dare to go that way again.

He Jitian saw it, and was not in a hurry, their He family lived on Shiren Mountain anyway, even though his mother made irresponsible remarks at the bottom of the mountain, they would not move.

After hearing this, Lin Rufei also felt that this group of Taoist priests was a bit too much, but this group of monsters was brave enough. This is the central area of ​​Yaoguang Continent, and there are countless powerful monks. Packed up.

"But what did the Taoist priests take?" Lin Rufei asked curiously, "Can this group of monsters be so crazy?"

"I don't know, but it must be a good thing." He Jitian said, "If Mr. Lin has nothing to do, you can join in the fun."

Lin Rufei smiled and said yes, he has grown up so big, he has never seen a monster with his own eyes.

The group of Taoist priests didn't know how long they had been stuck in the traffic jam, and they were indeed very anxious. After noon, they rushed up from the bottom of the mountain in a hurry, just in time to meet them having lunch.This He Ji was a bad angel, and he didn't call him to eat, so he let him stand by and watch, and only called him in when everyone was almost finished eating.Chen Dao's morale was low, but he didn't dare to offend He Jitian, so he could only grit his teeth and ask if Patriarch He was full, and if he wanted to eat two more bites.

He Jitian slapped his head and said that you are right, I am really not full, so I will go in and eat two more bites.After speaking, he turned around and left, staring Chen Dao's morale eyes round.

Lin Rufei looked at it from the side and thought it was really funny. This appearance of He Jitian bullying others is really funny.But it's no wonder that he didn't want to give Daoist Chen a good face. Those severely injured He family disciples were still lying on the bed and couldn't get out.

Although Chen Dao was about to vomit blood due to his morale, he had nothing to ask for, so he stood abruptly under the sun for a long time, just when Lin Rufei thought he was about to faint, He Jicai called him When he came in, he kindly asked the servant to bring mung bean soup, saying that it would be for Mr. Chen to cool off from the heat.

Chen Daoshi couldn't drink any more, he threw the things He Jitian wanted on the table under his breath, and said: "Take it! I hope you will do what you say, and get rid of those things as soon as possible!"

He Jitian took the thing Chen Daoshi threw out, opened the cloth bag and took a look, his expression suddenly changed: "How did you get this thing!"

"Bought it." Daoshi Chen said, "If someone sells it, we will buy it!"

"How could someone sell this!" He Jitian's expression turned ugly, "Do you know what this is??"

Chen Daoshi said: "Isn't it just a few demon eggs? Could it be that Patriarch He has never seen this before?"

"Yes, it is indeed a monster's egg." He Jitian gritted his teeth, "But do you know that this is a king-level egg?"

Chen Daoshi was taken aback, but he didn't realize it: "The king's egg? What do you mean?"

He Jitian laughed back in anger: "Do you know the Seven Kings of Fear?"

Daoshi Chen said, "I know."

After the King of Ten Thousand Monsters was beheaded and killed, the forces in the Bhier Continent split up, and later became the Seven Kings.

He Jitian said: "Neng, the son of the Seven Kings is in your hands!"

Chen Daoshi shook his hands, his face turned pale: "He, Patriarch He, don't make fun of me."

"A joke?" He Jitian said, "Do you think this joke is funny?"

Chen Daoshi was so frightened that he cried on the spot: "I, I don't know, someone really sold it to me..."

The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: If you keep lying to me in the future, I will break your bones!

Gu Xuandu: Guess how this box of bones was broken?

Lin Rufei: ……………
