Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

To the south of Yunxiang, there is a place called Wuyu, which is the hometown of the Wu people.

Compared with other places, Wuyu is located in a narrow and long canyon, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is closed. In addition, Wuyu is the hometown of witchcraft, and outsiders are very afraid, so for most people, it is very is mysterious.The Qi Yansheng that Lin Rufei met at Meng's house before was the first Wu tribe he knew, but now it seems that Qi Yansheng is actually a good-natured person, not as weird as the rumored Wu tribe.

Gu Xuandu said that the eccentric temperament of the Wu tribe is actually a misrepresentation. It is only because they are isolated from the world and do not understand the rules of the world. Unless they rarely leave Wuyu at specific times, that’s why they caused such a problem for outsiders. Strange impression.Of course, there are only a few Wu people who are as exquisite as Qi Yansheng, and most Wu people are somewhat introverted.

Lin Rufei said in a low voice: "The one who came to my room the day before...is also from the Wu tribe?"

Gu Xuandu nodded.

Lin Rufei said, "What's his name?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Wu Ao."

Lin Rufei said: "That's a good name, it sounds like Chi Yu's, woo woo woo."

Gu Xuan almost didn't laugh.

"I feel that this person has a very strange temper." Lin Rufei said, "I thought he was here to trouble me, but I was shocked by his appearance, but if he has good intentions for me, why would he?" Injured Shen Wukai, and even my sister was injured."

Gu Xuandu just smiled and shook his head slowly.

Lin Rufei said: "Besides, we went to Wu Yu this time, didn't we just go to his hometown." He didn't like Wu Ao very much, "Will we meet him again?"

Gu Xuandu sighed, with a little helplessness in his tone, he said: "No matter where we go, we will always meet him."

The two talked for a while, until Yurui murmured: "My lord, who are you talking to?"

Yurui chewed corn candy, looked at her young master suspiciously, and felt a little worried, thinking that her young master's hysteria who likes to talk to himself might not get better...

Lin Rufei glanced at Yu Rui and said, "You eat so much sugar every day, you are not afraid of damaging your teeth."

Yurui grinned with a smile, showing a set of neat white teeth, and said: "I'm not afraid, I brush my teeth well." She didn't take it seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, what Lin Rufei said casually turned out to be a prophecy. The next night, Yu Rui's face suddenly swelled up to half.Fuhua held Yurui's mouth, looked left and right, frowned and said, "Yurui, have you really brushed your teeth? Most of these teeth are broken..."

Yu Rui cried: "I really have it."

Fu Hua said, "Then why would the tooth be broken?"

"Oh." Lin Rufei sighed, and said, "Although she brushed her teeth, she chewed the candy corn given by her beau when she slept at night. It's strange that her teeth are not bad."

Yu Rui cried out in pain, with tears streaming down her face, saying that it was all because of that bad guy He Wanxiang, and why the corn candy he made was so delicious.

Fuhua was angry and funny, pinched Yurui's nose, and said: "No matter how delicious something is, it's sugar. If you eat too much, it will not only damage your teeth, but also make you fat. Why don't you hate it when you get fat?" despise you."

Yu Rui cried even harder.

Lin Rufei couldn't help but tell Fuhua not to scare the children. It happened that Chi Yu dragged his family over and saw Yurui's crying pear blossoms raining. He frowned and said how Lin Rufei bullied his maid.

Lin Rufei let out a long sigh, saying how could she be willing to bully her, and then she told about Yurui's broken teeth after eating corn candy.

Chi Yu was also happy when he heard it, Yurui angrily grabbed his hair and licked it bitterly, but he didn't resist, just squinted his eyes and spread it like a cake in Fuhua's arms, his face was full of comfort.

Lin Rufei hugged the little Ye tapir and asked why Chiyu looked like a scumbag.

"Chi Yu is a scumbag, so what are you?" Gu Xuandu asked quietly.

"Nurse?" Lin Rufei tentatively replied.

Gu Xuandu was noncommittal about this, and looked up at Chi Yu thoughtfully.

Although the next place to go is Wu Yu, Lin Rufei is still afraid of Wu Ao. Gu Xuandu told Lin Rufei not to worry so much, saying that Wu Ao would not attack Lin Rufei, even if he wanted to. , also moved him.

Lin Rufei asked strangely why Wu Ao disliked Gu Xuandu so much, Gu Xuandu smiled and said, "That's not disgust, it's jealousy."

"Jealous?" Lin Rufei wondered, "Jealous about what?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Of course I'm jealous that I have someone to accompany me. Look at how miserable he is. Hundreds of years ago, there was only that black snake by his side. Hundreds of years later, there will still be only one black snake. I can't stand it anymore. gone."

He said this in a joking tone, which made Lin Rufei couldn't help laughing, but there was still a bit of worry in the smile, anyway, Lin Rufei didn't feel very good about that Wu Ao.

This place is close to the seaside, the weather is not so hot after the beginning of autumn, one autumn rain and one cool, this year's rain is extraordinarily abundant, after Lin Rufei left Shen's house, the sun hasn't come out, it is very comfortable.

From Shen's house to Wuyu, it will take about ten days' drive, if you go slowly, it may take longer.However, the closer he got to Wu Yu, the more Lin Rufei could feel the fearful attitude of the people around him towards this place. Whenever he heard about his destination, most of them would show some fear or disapproval on their faces.

"My lord, are you really going to Wuyu?" The waiter in the inn was very enthusiastic. After hearing Lin Rufei asking for directions, he couldn't help frowning, "That place is very evil. It is said that people who go in never come out."

Lin Rufei said: "So powerful?"

"That's not it." Xiaoer poured tea for Lin Rufei and said in a low voice, "If you want to go, just follow the east road and go straight ahead, but you have to think about it before you go, but my son , what are you doing there?"

Lin Rufei said, "Go... do something."

Xiao Er shook his head and sighed, saying that it is better not to do this matter. They have never dared to approach Wu Yu, and even if they did not approach, they would still see many strange things. Nothing good will happen if I touch it.

Lin Rufei asked curiously, "Strange thing?"

Xiao Er said, "Yes."

Lin Rufei said, "For example?" He took out the reward money from his cuff and handed it to Xiao Er.

Xiaoer laughed when he saw the bounty, and after receiving it, he said with a smile: "Wuyu is located in the canyon, and the road to the east is the only way to it. People around are jealous of Wuyu, so Few people walked, until one year, also in autumn, there was a heavy fog on that road..."

He purposely lowered his voice and made a gloomy expression, Yurui grabbed Fu Hua's hand in fright, and stared at Xiao Er with rounded eyes.

Xiaoer continued: "Someone happened to pass by nearby, and saw a dozen or so shadowy figures appearing in the thick fog. At first, the person thought that someone was passing by, so he looked curiously, but after looking carefully, he felt something What's not right, I saw that the walking movements of these dozen or so people were very stiff, they didn't walk step by step like ordinary people, but skipped and walked, the more that person looked, the more wrong he was, and he was about to leave, but who knew..." He The voice suddenly increased, "Who would have thought that a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, and slapped him hard on the shoulder, and he lost consciousness. When others found out, those dozen or so figures were actually One more person added!"

"Ah!" Both Yurui and Fuhua turned pale with fright, but Lin Rufei listened with gusto and commented: "The story is good."

"Young Master, aren't you afraid?" Seeing that Lin Rufei didn't react at all, Xiao Er was a little bit reconciled. This was a ghost story for him.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Rufei took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "It sounds like a fabricated story."

"Why?" Xiao Er asked strangely.

Lin Rufei said with a smile: "If something really happened to him, who told you the previous story? Can the dead still talk..." He suddenly thought of Mo Changshan after saying this sentence, and after a moment of silence, He pondered, "The dead seem to be able to talk."

"Master, don't scare us." Yurui cried, "That place is so scary, do we really want to go?"

"Go." Lin Rufei said, "Isn't it interesting?"

Apparently, Lin Rufei was the only one who thought Wu Yu was interesting, no matter the mistress or the maid, they all had expressions of disapproval on their faces.Xiaoer saw that he couldn't be persuaded and didn't say anything anymore, but sighed and let Lin Rufei go in before saying hello to his family, so as not to disappear suddenly when the time came, the family was still worried, Lin Rufei thanked him for his kindness, and wanted to After thinking about it, he really sent a letter back to Kunlun.

When Xiao Er told the story, Gu Xuandu also listened with great interest. Back in the house, Lin Rufei asked Gu Xuandu whether the story was true or not.

"Maybe it's true." Gu Xuandu said, "Witch clansmen are really good at expelling corpses, and they occasionally accept commissions from outsiders. It's normal to be seen by others. But the story behind is a bit wrong. Thinking about it, someone probably added fuel and vinegar to it.”

Lin Rufei said: "That's right, most of the folklore is a bit embellished."

Lin Rufei stayed in the inn for one night, and originally planned to enter Wuyu the next day, but when she woke up in the morning, she saw that the outside was shrouded in fog. The fog was very thick, but she couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly from a few feet away. Humanoid.

"Master, should we still go?" Since hearing the story yesterday, both Fuhua and Yurui were a little uneasy, but today it was like fog in the story, and they were even more afraid.After all, she was still a little girl, if it was Lin Weirui, who was a monkey like Lin Weirui, she would be excited to set off immediately when she saw the fog.

Lin Rufei said: "Wait a minute, the fog should dissipate at noon, and then we will set off again."

Fuhua Yurui breathed a sigh of relief.

But the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, this thick fog doesn't seem to be an ordinary mountain mist, even if the sun comes out, it doesn't mean to disperse at all.

Lin Rufei had no choice but to ask the waiter at the inn again, asking him when the fog would dissipate.

"I can't say for sure." Xiaoer replied, "Usually we disperse at noon, but if we don't disperse at noon, it will last for several days, and once it took more than ten days to disperse, young master, such a big Do you still want to go in the fog?"

Lin Rufei asked, "Will you get lost?"

Xiaoer said: "I don't know if I'm lost or not, but there's only one way to get in. As for what it looks like inside, no one knows."

Lin Rufei thought about it and said, "Then I'll wait until tomorrow. If it doesn't leave tomorrow, I'll go in along the main road." Although it was foggy, he was accompanied by Gu Xuandu anyway. I understand very well, there will be no big surprises.

Xiao Er persuaded her a few more words, but seeing Lin Rufei's firm attitude, she left with a sigh.

However, the weather seemed to be against Lin Rufei. On the second day, the fog did not lighten at all, and it was still thick and scary. No one could say when the fog would dissipate, so Lin Rufei decided not to Waiting, and boarding the carriage with the maid.

Both Fuhua and Yurui were a little scared, so Lin Rufei simply let them sit inside and drive the car by herself.Of course, the maids were not willing to live and die when they heard this order at first. How could a servant sit inside and enjoy it, and Lin Rufei didn’t persuade the master to do things, so she smiled and said that you are not afraid of rushing behind you when you are driving outside. Take a hand and pat your shoulders?He succeeded in scaring the faces of the two maids to pale, and silently retreated into the carriage without saying anything, but he was probably still a little worried about Lin Rufei, and refused to put down the curtain of the carriage, saying that he would help his young master guard his back .

Lin Rufei couldn't stop laughing at Fuhua Yurui's reaction, and Gu Xuan said that Xiao Jiu really failed at learning.

Lin Rufei glanced at him and said, "I learned it all from seniors."

Gu Xuandu: "..."

Lin Rufei said: "What a pity, this fog is really thick."

Gu Xuandu: "..." You also learned this from me?

When Gu Xuan heard this swear word, he gritted his teeth and hated it for a long time, thinking that the He family was indeed a catastrophe that he could not escape, but seeing Lin Rufei was very happy, with a smile on his face. It's because I learned a word that can sigh my mood-"I'm a bear than a mother" is much more imposing than "Oh my god".Gu Xuandu rubbed his forehead in distress, thinking in his heart how to make his young master forget this sentence earlier.

But at present, it seems that it is unlikely. Waving the whip in his hand, Lin Rufei drove the carriage along the east road.The fog was too thick, and the carriage did not dare to run too fast. After all, he was not familiar with the road and could not see the obstacles around him.

However, as the carriage gradually deepened along the road, the surrounding scene seemed to change. Through the thick fog, Lin Rufei vaguely felt that there were many tall mountains around her. This area was originally a plain area, so I don’t understand. Where did these mountains come from.

Lin Rufei said: "Senior, is this what you saw before?"

"Almost." Gu Xuandu said, "Wu Yu is very closed, and the average life expectancy is long. I think it hasn't changed much in the past few hundred years." He was a little emotional, "I just didn't expect Wu Min to die. I thought he would live longer than me..."

Lin Rufei said: "You have a good relationship with Wu Min?" After he asked this, he felt a little ridiculous, yes, if Gu Xuandu and Wu Min had a bad relationship, why would he give his heart to him? custody.

Gu Xuandu then talked to Lin Rufei about some of the past, saying that he was about the same age as Wu Min, and had similar personalities, so at first the two were at odds, until something happened later, his temperament changed drastically, and Wu Min had the same personality. Only then did Min's relationship ease, and the two who disliked each other finally became close friends by mistake.

Lin Rufei said: "A lot of things must have happened that year."

"A lot." Gu Xuandu looked lazily, "How could it be so peaceful back then, Yaoguang's formation has not yet been laid, and there are monsters everywhere to harm the world, but if there are more monsters, monks will become more powerful. After all, if you don’t practice now, you are just a mortal, but if you didn’t practice back then, you would kill people.”

Lin Rufei said: "Senior, tell me more." No one would not be curious about what happened back then. Although there are records in the history books, there is no one who said it vividly. He straightened his waist and showed curiosity. , "Everyone said that Tianjun tried his best to lay down the Yaoguang formation to protect all living beings. His cultivation base was greatly damaged, and he emerged again after many years of silence. Senior, is it difficult to deploy a large formation?"

Gu Xuandu took a deep look at him: "It's hard."

"Were you seriously injured?" Lin Rufei asked.

Gu Xuandu said: "It's very heavy." He sighed, "Tianjun's temperament is the most kind, but also the most ruthless. Although the matter of setting up a big battle has saved the world's common people, I don't know how many people around him have been hurt."

Lin Rufei found it strange that Gu Xuan was talking about Tianjun, but seemed to be talking about someone else, obviously he was Tianjun.

"Have you ever regretted it, senior?" Lin Rufei asked.

"Me? I regret it all the time." Gu Xuandu said, "But Tianjun, I have never regretted it for a moment. Tianjun Tianjun, as the name suggests, is born to be the king of the world. The king of kings, Loved by all peoples, dedicated to all peoples..."

When Gu Xuandu said this, he was also smiling, but for some reason, Lin Rufei could see some desolation from his smile. Lin Rufei felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. After a moment of silence, she suddenly stretched out her hand Grabbing Gu Xuandu's hand, he whispered: "Senior, if you don't want to laugh, stop laughing."

Gu Xuandu: "Xiao Jiu is so proactive, I'm not used to it." He clasped Lin Rufei's fingers with his backhand, and then managed to pull himself together and said something else. Of course, this time, he just picked something. Interesting things, let the heavy atmosphere eased down.

Lin Rufei chatted with Gu Xuan with gusto, but she frightened the maid in the carriage. Yurui huddled in Fuhua's arms, the two hugged and shivered, Yurui whispered in a crying voice: "Sister Fuhua, who is the young master talking to?"

Fu Hua tremblingly said, "I'm... talking to myself."

"But why did you ask and answer?" Yurui said, "Why do I feel that something is wrong with the young master? Do you think the young master is also bewitched?"

Fu Hua tried to calm down and said: "Isn't the young master always bewitched by evil spirits?" Touching Yu Rui's head, she comforted, "Calm down, we should have gotten used to it by now."

Yu Rui said: "But I can't get used to it."

Fuhua smiled wryly: "To be honest... I can't get used to it either."

Then the two hugged each other tightly, and continued to comfort each other in the heavy fog, while hearing their young master talking to himself in a low voice, the situation became more and more strange.

The carriage walked for a day, and I didn't know where it was, but when the sky darkened, the fog was still thick.

After Lin Rufei looked around, she chose a relatively flat place and lit a bonfire for the night.Yurui and Fuhua were frightened for a whole day, and now they were a little exhausted, so Lin Rufei volunteered and said to let them rest first, and then change their vigil in the middle of the night.

Fuhua refused to say anything, saying that the young master has been tired all day, how can he continue to watch at night, let Lin Rufei go to have a good rest, she will watch the first half of the night, and Yurui will watch the second half of the night.

Just as Yu Rui was about to agree, she saw Lin Rufei grinning sinisterly. He deliberately lowered his voice: "Although there is nothing to do during the day, it is not certain what will come out at night."

Yu Rui said angrily: "Master, you are too bad! Don't scare us on purpose!!"

Lin Rufei said, "How do you know that I am your young master?"

Yu Rui stared.

"The fog is so thick during the day, maybe the young master will be replaced if you two are distracted." Lin Rufei said, "Actually, I am a monster who looks exactly like the young master..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Lin Rufei couldn't help laughing and made a fuss, agreed, okay, how about this, I will sleep in the middle of the night, and you will sleep in the second half of the night, the two of you will be each other's companions, otherwise you will lose your soul.

Fuhua Yurui's face was ugly, but she agreed.

Sometimes being timid is actually quite cute. Lin Rufei felt that the eclipsed appearance of his maid was very cute. He told the two of them, and then went to rest, leaving Fuhua Yurui and the two around the bonfire Sit opposite.

The sky was getting dark, and with the fog, I could hardly see my fingers.

Yu Rui was a little scared, so she leaned closer to the floating flower and said, "Sister Fuhua, there really aren't monsters here, are there?"

Fuhua said: "Don't be afraid of monsters, isn't Chi Yu still a monster? He's so cute."

Yu Rui said, "That's true."

The two fell silent, only the crackling sound of the bonfire in front of them, Yurui yawned a little sleepy, and suddenly felt that her shoulder was patted, she thought it was the floating flower reminding herself, so she rubbed her eyes and said: "Sister Fuhua, don't pat me on the shoulder, I'm afraid." I always think of that ghost story.

Fu Hua turned her head in a daze, and said, "Huh? I didn't take pictures of you."

Yu Rui was taken aback: "Then..." As soon as she finished her words, she felt her shoulder was patted again, and at this moment, Fuhua had both hands in front of her, it was impossible to pat her, Yu Rui's figure suddenly froze. Stopped, his face was as pale as paper.

Seeing Yurui's change, Fuhua understood instantly, swallowed heavily, and said, "Really...someone really took pictures of you?"

Yu Rui nodded stiffly.

"I, I'll take a look." Fuhua turned her head slowly, but she didn't see anything, behind them was only the endless mist and darkness, like a huge vortex, sucking all the light and heat into it.

"Nothing," said Fuhua, "no monsters, and no one."

Yu Rui began to cry, she really felt that someone was patting her shoulder, but just after crying twice, her young master's smiling voice came over: "Are you so scared? "

"Master, stop joking with us!!!" Yu Rui cried and screamed, "It will really scare people to death, okay!!!"

In the mist, the figure of the young master was looming, and his tone was a little smiling: "Really?"

Fu Hua suddenly felt that something was wrong, she grabbed Yu Rui, shook her head heavily at her, then raised her chin towards the direction of the carriage.The compartment of the carriage was very close to them, and the curtains were not closed, so one could see Lin Rufei who was sleeping soundly inside with just a glance, but if Lin Rufei was sleeping in the compartment, she would stand behind them and rush They were laughing... Another... What is it...

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I am so sorry that Xiaojiu is not afraid of ghosts.

Lin Rufei: If I'm afraid of ghosts, do you think you still have a chance?

Gu Xuandu: ... makes sense.
