Please give me a chance to be a straight man

Shen Xu looked at Jiang Xun in surprise when he heard this.He subconsciously wanted to open his mouth to refute, but after thinking about it, he still didn't open his mouth.After all, he is now recognized as the 'ghost-faced venerable' by righteous monks, and no matter how much he clarifies himself, it will be useless.

Afterwards, Jiang Xun informed Qi Xiu of the situation of Wanjian Mountain one by one. When Qi Xiu heard him mention the compass of life and death, his complexion sank at that time.

"I didn't expect that the life-and-death compass had disappeared for a long time and finally fell into the hands of the demon cultivators. If they really let them find a chance to restore the compass, the two ways of righteousness and magic will definitely set off a bloody storm again, and I don't know how many comrades will die by then."

Shen Xu couldn't help looking at Jiang Xun when he heard this, and seeing his dark complexion, he tried to reduce his presence as a demon cultivator as much as possible.

Although Shen Xu hadn't experienced the battle between righteousness and demons more than ten years ago, he could still imagine the brutality through all kinds of hearing for a long time.Moxiu disappeared for more than ten years and only recently appeared. If it wasn't for some other purpose, ghosts wouldn't believe it.If the battle between good and evil breaks out again at this time, Shen Xu really can't imagine what the consequences will be.

After Qi Xiu finished speaking, seeing Jiang Xun's complexion was not good, knowing that he must be thinking of his dead parents, he didn't continue talking, but reminded Jiang Xun to be more careful in his actions, and at the same time pay close attention to Mo Xiu's movements so as to report in time.Although what Qi Xiu said afterwards mentioned the matter of finding Qu Changqing's master and apprentice, Shen Xu could tell that in his eyes, the chances of Qu Changqing and Qu Qingge surviving should be low.

Qi Xiu had a lot of trivial matters to deal with, so the things that Wan Jiang Xun was told to pay attention to disappeared.After that, Shen Xu and Jiang Xun informed everyone in Wanjianshan about Qu Changqing and Qu Qingge.Wanjian Mountain suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Shen Xu and the two finished handling the matter of Wan Jianshan, and then proceeded to Wuwangchuan according to the original plan.

As we all know, although Wuwangchuan is the second largest sect among the four major sects, it is the most low-key one compared to the other three major sects.When Shen Xu was still at Xiaoyaomen, although stories about Wuwangchuan's disciples often reached his ears, but seeing Gu Xuan and other disciples as real people was only at the Xianmeng meeting, which shows Wuwangchuan's low-key style .

Shen Xu and the others traveled with their swords for nearly half a month, and finally arrived at a small border town in Wuwangchuan on a sunny noon.

Shen Xu and Jiang Xun simply walked around the small border town, and found that compared with the solemnity of Tianxuanzong and the luxury of Luoxing Pavilion, most of the buildings here are very elegant, and the people in the small town are also very easy-going. There is a sense of tranquility and leisure.

Shen Xu had to admit that he fell in love with this place immediately.He even thought that if he was lucky enough to be able to accompany Jiang Xun to finish the plot in the book alive, it would be nice to settle here in the future.

After driving for many days, Shen Xu and Jiang Xun were inevitably a little tired, so they found a clean inn and stayed.

Because Shen Xu was injured, he slept a little deeper this time, so that it was almost noon when he woke up the next day.

Shen Xu didn't expect that he slept for so long, and it was because of his age.

After Shen Xu dressed, he went to find Jiang Xun, but found that Jiang Xun was not in the house.Shen Xu then walked around the inn again but couldn't find anyone.Just as he was wondering, he saw Jiang Xun walking towards him from the street outside the inn.

Seeing him carrying big and small bags, Shen Xu thought he was going to buy some special products for Ye Chen again, but Gu Xuan suddenly appeared from behind him.

"I originally thought that you suddenly appeared in Wuwangchuan because you finally realized your conscience and came to see my friend, but I didn't expect that you were playing with someone else. Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun, I really misjudged you."

After Gu Xuan sighed, she took a look at Shen Xu, and said, "This little brother is a bit strange, he doesn't look like your disciple of Tianxuanzong. Jiang Xun, why don't you speak, introduce me quickly."

Jiang Xun looked at Shen Xu for a while, and then said to Gu Xuan, "He is Shen Xu."

Gu Xuan nodded, "It turned out to be him. This disguise is pretty good, I didn't even see it." After she finished speaking, she immediately reacted, "Shen Xu? Then he is the ghost-faced Venerable Ling!" Gu Xuan Before the next word could be said, Jiang Xun used a formula to seal his mouth.

Seeing that she was silenced, Gu Xuan punched Jiang Xun hard, and then gesticulated with both hands and faltered a lot of words, Shen Xu looked confused.

Jiang Xun understood it, and then said in a low voice, "You have to make sure you don't talk nonsense."

Gu Xuan nodded quickly upon hearing this.Only then did Jiang Xun undo the spell for her.

Gu Xuan was able to speak, the first thing she did was to scold Jiang Xun.Then he said to Shen Xu, "When I first saw you, I thought you were an unusual person. I didn't expect you to be the famous ghost-faced venerable. What's more, I didn't expect that you are now being held by Xiaoyaomen in the entire Zhengdao sect." Wanted in the door actually dare to show up in our Wuwang River, either you are really frank, or you have other plans. Shen Xu, which one are you?"

Shen Xu met Gu Xuan's inquiring gaze, and replied, "I do have something to do when I come to Wuwangchuan, but it's not the harming thing you imagined."

Gu Xuan obviously didn't believe it, so Jiang Xun had to explain to her the purpose of their trip to Wuwangchuan.

Gu Xuan glanced at Shen Xu after listening, "Is it really so simple that you came to Wuwangchuan to find a letter?"

Shen Xu nodded quickly, "Really, please believe me."

"In that case, I will go with you."

Shen Xu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then looked at Jiang Xun for help.Jiang Xun then raised the things in his hand and said, "Jiang Chuanzhu's birthday is coming soon, if you are not present, I am afraid that Jiang Chuanzhu will be upset."

Gu Xuan couldn't help but glared at Jiang Xun, "I was afraid that Shen Xu would harm you, that's why I proposed to go with you, do you really care about it, kid?"

Then she snatched the things in Jiang Xun's hand, turned her head and said to Shen Xu, "Shen Xu, you'd better remember your identity. If you dare to make trouble in Wuwang Sichuan or do something that hurts Jiang Xun, I will take care of you." Xuan will not spare you lightly!"

Shen Xu nodded, "I promise you."

Then Gu Xuan took a deep look at him before leaving.

Shen Xu watched Gu Xuan's back gradually disappear from his eyes, then turned his head and said to Jiang Xun, "Go back. I haven't eaten yet. I'm hungry after talking for so long."

Jiang Xun nodded and followed into the inn.

After drinking and eating, Shen Xu followed Jiang Xun to stroll around the small town again.During the period, Shen Xu bought a lot of things for Ye Chen (although they were all paid by Jiang Xun.)

The next day, the two of them did not continue to stay in the small city, but set off for Luoxia Sect.Along the way, Shen Xu and the others heard a lot of rumors about the Luoxia Sect, saying that the Luoxia Sect was full of beauties and monks with extraordinary abilities.So Shen Xu became even more curious about Luoxia Sect.

As a result, the two encountered a little trouble before they even arrived at the Luoxia Sect.They picked up a dying woman, to be precise, a rare beauty.

Shen Xu met only a handful of women after transmigrating, and although most of them were good-looking, they all had bad personalities and had explosive combat power, so much so that now he saw that women had no waves in their hearts, and even wanted to run away.

Jiang Xun is obsessed with cleanliness, and now that he is bent, it is probably impossible for him to touch an unidentified woman covered in bruises.

So Shen Xu had no choice but to check the woman's injuries by himself.He found that most of the woman's external injuries were just minor bruises that didn't seem to matter, but in comparison, her internal injuries were much more serious.This woman has been poisoned, and there are many types of poisons.

Shen Xu didn't know much about poison, so he still had to ask Jiang Xun to check it out.

Jiang Xun frowned and put his fingers on the woman's white wrist. After a while, his brows frowned even tighter.

Seeing this, Shen Xu asked, "How is it?"

Jiang Xun wiped his fingers, and slowly replied, "This woman has a special constitution, and she can dissolve normal poisons by herself. The reason why she fell into a coma is probably because of a Gu."

Shen Xu now thought of An Luoer when he heard Gu, so he couldn't help asking, "Could it be the work of the demon cultivator?"

"I can't be sure about this, I can only wait for her to wake up."

After Shen Xu applied some medicine to the woman's trauma, he quietly waited for her to wake up.

Shen Xu originally thought that according to the toxicity in the woman's body, she would be in a coma for two or three days, but she woke up in the evening.

The woman looked around blankly at first, and then she noticed Shen Xu and Jiang Xun beside her.

Seeing that the woman had woken up, Shen Xu hurried over and asked, "Girl, how do you feel?"

The woman glanced at Shen Xu, moved her limbs, and found that her wounds had been medicated, so she said gratefully to Shen Xu, "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for saving your life."

Shen Xu quickly waved his hand, "It's just a matter of raising your hands. I'm a little curious, why did the girl pass out in the forest? And if my guess is right, the girl should be a descendant of the Luoxia Sect, since this place is not far from the Luoxia Sect." , you are injured, why don't you ask the disciples of the sect for help?"

The woman glanced at Jiang Xun and Shen Xu when she heard the words, and then replied, "To be honest, although I am a disciple of the Luoxia Sect, I have never been able to get close to the sect's disciples because I used to be a demon cultivator."

Shen Xu was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect that this woman not only had a special physique, but also had an unusual status.

Seeing that Shen Xu and Jiang Xun didn't show any disgust because they were demon cultivators, the woman went on to say, "When I was a demon cultivator, I did a lot of outrageous things, so that I was retaliated against in the end. But because of my special physique So I survived by luck, and thanks to the Sect Master of Luoxia Sect, he did not dislike me and took me under his sect. Since then, I decided to reform my past, so I began to treat people. The reason why I fainted was because every time I used When the spiritual power transfers the pain of others to me, the sleeping Gu worms in my body will wake up, causing heart-eating pain."

"Then is there a way to get rid of Gu worms?"

The woman shook her head, "This Gu worm has been in my body for more than ten years, and it has already become a part of my body. If the Gu worm dies, I will die soon."

Shen Xu sighed when he heard the words, and thought to himself, most likely he would have a deep hatred for such a beauty, otherwise how could he bear to use such vicious means?

Seeing Shen Xu's regretful face, the woman smiled and said, "Your benefactor doesn't have to show such an expression, everything is my fault."

After the woman finished speaking, she suddenly patted herself on the forehead, "Look, I was only talking about myself, but I forgot to ask you both of your surnames."

Shen Xu pointed to himself first, then raised his finger to Jiang Xun, "Shen Xun, Jiang Xu."

"It turned out to be Fellow Daoist Shen and Fellow Daoist Jiang, the little girl Zhou Luoxi. I wonder why the two fellow Daoists came to my Luoxia Sect?"

"We are here to find something. To be precise, it is a relic left by someone."

Hearing this, Zhou Luoxi couldn't help asking, "Then is there anything I can do to help?"

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you know where the Sunset Cloud Valley is?"

Zhou Luoxi thought for a while and then shook his head slightly.Then a woman's voice came in from outside, "The Sunset Cloud Valley is in my Sunset Cloud Sect. I wonder why the two fellow daoists mentioned this place?"

As soon as the words fell, a delicate-looking woman in Tsing Yi walked in.Zhou Luoxi obviously knew this woman in Tsing Yi, and when she saw her coming, she couldn't help asking, "Susu, aren't you in retreat, why are you here?"

Lin Susu took a look at Shen Xu and Jiang Xun, and replied, "It was one of these two fellow Taoists who sent news to the sect, and I just came out of customs, so I came here. How do you feel now?" ?”

"It's much better. Thanks to these two fellow daoists who showed up in time, otherwise I'm afraid that my life will really be lost this time."

Hearing this, Lin Susu turned around and saluted Shen Xu and Jiang Xun, "Thank you two fellow Taoists for helping me, a disciple of the Luoxia Sect. Lin Susu is very grateful."

"You don't have to be like this, fellow Daoist Lin. My senior brother and I are just doing it easily. But I heard Fellow Daoist mentioned the Sunset Cloud Valley just now, so you must know where it is, don't you?"

Lin Susu nodded, "I do know where the Sunset Cloud Valley is located, but I can't take you there."

Shen Xu was puzzled, "May I ask why?"

"The sect stipulates that disciples of the Luoxia Sect are not allowed to enter the Luoxia Valley. As for the reason, to be honest, I don't know."

Shen Xu couldn't help frowning when he heard the words. Could it be that there is some secret about the Luoxia Sect in the Luoxia Valley?

Lin Susu saw that Shen Xu's expression was not good, and she also knew that what she said was not suitable for the benefactor who had just saved her sect's disciples, so she hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Although the sect has regulations, the Luoxia sect Disciples are not allowed to enter Sunset Cloud Valley, but I can draw a map for you so that you can go there."

Shen Xu looked at Lin Susu in surprise, "Fellow Daoist, won't you be punished by the sect for doing this?"

Zhou Luoxi interrupted at this time and said, "Don't worry, friend Daoist, Susu is the daughter of the Suzerain, and no one in the Luoxia Sect would dare to punish him for such a trivial matter."

Only then did Shen Xu feel relieved.If such a young and beautiful woman were punished for doing him a favor, his conscience would be hard to bear.

Lin Susu drew the map and handed it to Shen Xu.Shen Xu took a general look and saw that the route drawn above was very clear, so he thanked Lin Susu.

Lin Susu smiled and said, "This is what I should do."

After Shen Xu put away the map, he asked Lin Susu, "I have something else to ask Fellow Daoist Lin."

"Friend Daoist Shen, please tell me."

"I heard that your Luoxia Sect disciples are all monks with special physiques and extraordinary abilities. I wonder if there are any disciples in your sect who are good at repairing souls?"

Lin Susu looked Shen Xu up and down, and then said, "There are indeed spiritual practitioners among the disciples of our sect. Why is the soul of Fellow Daoist Shen damaged?"

Shen Xu shook his head, and then took out the inheritance jade of Venerable Ghost Corpse, "It's my friend. He was hit by the Soul Devouring Sword in order to save me before, and now there is only a trace of his soul left. I want to save him, but Nothing can be done."

Lin Susu nodded knowingly, "I think I can help Fellow Daoist Shen."

Shen Xu was startled, "Fellow Daoist, what you said is serious."

Lin Susu smiled, "The disciples of Luoxia Sect never lie."

Shen Xuyixi then handed over the inheritance jade to Lin Susu, "Then please ask fellow Taoist."

Lin Susu took the inherited jade and nodded, "Don't worry, Fellow Daoist Shen."

So Shen Xu and Jiang Xun followed the route on the map drawn by Lin Susu to Luoxia Valley.

Luoxia Valley is located in a deep mountain within the territory of Luoxia Sect. It is probably because of the precipitous environment that Shen Xu and the others walked all the way without encountering a single person.

Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help being puzzled. From the memories he could recall about Su Jin and Lan Xuan, the Sunset Valley where they lived should be a small village with a beautiful environment.But the Sunset Cloud Valley in front of him obviously seemed to have experienced a fierce battle, and there were traces of brutal destruction everywhere.And if you look carefully, you will find that this battle has happened a long time ago.

Jiang Xun didn't seem to believe that the place in front of him was the Sunset Valley mentioned by Su Jin, so he asked Shen Xu, "Is this really where the Sunset Valley is located on the map?"

Hearing the words, Shen Xu raised the map and looked at it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he nodded helplessly.

So Shen Xu and the others had no choice but to continue walking towards the valley.

According to Su Jin's last words when she disappeared, she buried the letter under a peach tree in the small courtyard where they lived before.

According to his memory, Shen Xu found the small courtyard where they lived, and he saw a peach tree standing in the courtyard.

Seeing this, Shen Xu squatted down and rummaged in the ground under the peach tree, and soon found a simple wooden box.

Shen Xu opened the box, and a letter with a yellowed cover was lying quietly in it.

On the envelope was written the four big characters of Ling Yan's personal approval with a brush.Seeing the handwriting, Shen Xu knew it was written by Su Jin himself, so he opened the envelope and carefully took out the letter inside.

There were many contents in the letter, and it was far more shocking than Shen Xu imagined.

"Ling Yan, I think by the time you read this letter, I should no longer be in this world. Although I had thought about death, I never thought it would be so sudden. After I die, Lan Xuan will entrust you to take care of me Don’t look at this kid’s playful and smiling face all day long. In fact, he’s very thoughtful. I’m afraid that he will find out about his father’s real death in the future and want to seek revenge from the orthodox sect, so I’ve been hiding it from him. But all the time Concealment is not a long-term solution after all, so I hope you can enlighten him and let him let go of his hatred. He has always listened to you the most, and he will definitely listen to what you say. Also, after I die, I would like to ask you to take the ashes of me and Lan Jin Buried together. Although this rotten guy like Lan Jin always dislikes me all day long, I know he is very afraid of being alone. In the blink of an eye, he has been alone underground for many years, and he must have been complaining that I did not accompany him. So this time I Just go with him and see what he still complains about! Also, if you meet a magic cultivator named Zhou Luoxi one day, remember to tell her that I don't blame her for not saving me. After all, I was poisoned by corpses, and her The physique can't be resolved."

The handwriting of the letter up to this point is still neat and beautiful, but the following content can already see that Su Jin is no longer able to do what she wants.

"Corpse poison occurs frequently, and I'm running out of time. While I still have some strength today, I have to hurry up and finish what I want to tell you."

So Su Jin went on to write, "Lan Xuan likes to eat candy. If you have time, buy him some. But don't feed him too much, it's bad for his teeth. There's also the matter between you and Qi Xiu, although I I have always looked down on Qi Xiu's kindness to everyone, but I can't stop you from liking him, so I can't stop it. But you have to remember that Qi Xiu is a future candidate for the Immortal Venerable, so he will definitely The right way is the most important thing in everything. If one day there is a conflict between you and the right way, he will give up you and achieve the righteous way. When that happens, don’t come to my grave and cry and blame me for not reminding you in advance. Let me think I think there is something left unsaid... By the way, there is one more thing I have to remind you, it is about the battle between righteousness and evil."

"Before the war between good and evil broke out, I remember that you were in a coma due to poisonous hair, but why did some people say that you appeared on the battlefield and activated the compass of life and death? Haven't you ever wondered why?"

Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help frowning.Before Ye Chen said that he killed Jiang Xun's parents, Shen Xu couldn't refute it because he had no memory at the time, but now Su Jin's letter also mentioned this matter, so there must be something other people don't know about it. inside story.

Shen Xu continued to read the letter, and then Su Jin mentioned some trivial memories about them.

Probably here Su Jin's corpse poison broke out again, so the following handwriting became messy.

"The above are all my last words. Although I am a little unwilling to continue to accompany you. But I still thank you for your company these years."

Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help but his eyes sore.So he rubbed his eyes and continued to read, only to find that there was only the last sentence left on the letter.

Be careful with clouds.

Shen Xu was slightly taken aback when he saw this sentence, and then searched his trivial memory, only to find that the name Liuyun was mentioned in the memory about Lan Jin.And apart from knowing that this person is a man, he doesn't know anything else.

Shen Xu scratched his head irritably, it was really a wave of ups and downs.

After Shen Xu collected Su Jin's letter, he was going to find her grave with Jiang Xun.But the two of them searched around in Sunset Cloud Valley and couldn't find it.Shen Xu was puzzled, at the beginning there were only Su Jin and Lan Xuan who lived here, and when Su Jin passed away, Lan Xuan should not be able to transfer her at such a young age.But why is there no shadow of Su Jin's grave around?Could it be that someone helped Lan Xuan to bury Su Jin elsewhere?

But the fact that Su Jin and Lan Xuan lived in Sunset Clouds Valley should not be known by many people. Apart from Shen Xu and Lan Jin, who would be the one who can make Lan Xuan let go of his guard?

The more Shen Xu thought about it, the more confused he became. At this moment, a sound transmission talisman suddenly floated in from outside the valley.

Shen Xu injected spiritual power into the sound transmission talisman, and then the voices of Lin Susu and Zhou Luoxi came out of it. "Shen Daoyou, Jiang Daoyou, how are you handling things?"

"It's been dealt with. Fellow Daoist Lin sent us a voice transmission, but do you have anything to say?"

"Shen Daoyou, the soul in the spirit stone you gave me before has awakened, and is anxious to see you."

Shen Xu was overjoyed when he heard the words, so he replied, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Lin, for your help, we'll go back right away."

After finishing speaking, Shen Xu and Jiang Xun left Luoxia Valley and rushed to Luoxia Sect.

After arriving at the Luoxia Sect, Shen Xu saw the Venerable Ghost Corpse floating beside Lin Susu from a distance, so he was about to say hello, but the Venerable Ghost Corpse immediately slapped him with a palm.

Seeing this, Shen Xu hurriedly dodged, "Senior, what do you mean!"

Venerable Ghost Corpse snorted coldly when he heard the words, "This old man was nearly driven out of his wits by the Soul Eater Sword just to help you, but you are so lucky, you actually came here to enjoy the flowers and hang out with the female monks, you are pretending that this old man doesn't exist yes!"

"Senior, you misunderstood me, I don't have that kind of thought!"

The Ghost Corpse Venerable then glanced at Jiang Xun, and then said with a smile, "Oh? You are not tempted by such a beautiful female monk standing in front of you. Could it be that your heart has something to do with it?"
