Chapter 55
Chapter 55
Yuan Xiaohan casts down the barrier with his finger, Dian Muya raises his fan and forms an array, Mu Xiyun and Ruan Qiuhe assist from the side.Not long after, the light of the sky faded over the sound of August on the autumn river, and the stars spread into a river, shining quietly.
Ruan Li rushed to Mu Ya and they said "Thank you", took out the Lamp of Never, and walked to the center of the courtyard.
When he stood still, he remembered that the Lamp of Eternity was placed in Yuan Xiaohan's Hongmeng ring, but the restrictions on the ring were not valid for him, and his spiritual consciousness could enter and exit freely.Ruan Xun's eyes flickered, and he took Yuan Xiaohan's Hongmeng Ring off his fingers and returned it to him.
Then Yuan Xiaohan took out a blanket and spread it in the courtyard.Regardless of its design, color or style, this blanket is extremely similar to the one that appeared in the confinement room on Languang Island.
The corners of Ruan Xun's eyes twitched slightly: "You are here for an outing?"
"Do you want to go on a picnic? How about going tomorrow? Today, we are going to have food and tea." Yuan Xiaohan rolled his eyes and smiled.
"..."
He no longer cared about Yuan Xiaohan, looked up at the sky, sat down cross-legged, folded his hands, and held the Lamp of Eternity in his palms.
The stars flow slowly, and the light swirls gently with the breeze, passing by the silver-white snow-like hair, and brushing Ruan Shuang's beautiful browbones.
His complexion is cold and white, as smooth as jade, and he looks faintly transparent, his eyes are lightly covered by long eyelashes like crow feathers, his lips are slightly drawn, and his expression is extremely indifferent.
This is an innumerable color beyond the human world, no matter how ingenious the fine brushwork is, it is difficult to describe.Just like a cold moon, the bright light pours down on the ground, but it is thousands of miles away and cannot be touched.
Mu Xiyun lowered his eyes.
This is the person who had a marriage contract with him when he was young, but now, even if he has gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, he still cannot walk in front of him.
Too far, too high and too cold.
Yuan Xiaohan glanced at Mu Xiyun calmly, and backed away from Ruan Xun.
Lighting the Lamp of Eternity with starlight is a time-consuming thing. The expression on his face receded, and he stretched out his hand to grab the void, blowing the wind when he held it.
"We've cleaned up the bugs that were ambushing nearby. Sword Master Guyue doesn't have to worry." Dusk Crow shook his folding fan lightly, and said slowly, "Besides, with me in charge, some people dare not make mistakes."
"Thank you so much, Master of the Realm." Yuan Xiaohan said in a low voice, but he never retracted half of the divine consciousness that was released.
The Yanling waist knife hanging on Yuan Xiaohan's waist fell to the ground and turned into a dog. It flicked its tail and looked around. When it saw the smile on the face of Dianmu Crow, it couldn't help shivering, and immediately turned into a human form.
"Ah Qi, come here." Dian Muya waved to him.
"What are you talking about? The wind is too strong, I can't hear you." Ah Qi took out a knife and held it in his arms.
The Lamp of Eternity is shaped like a flower bud. After being illuminated by the starlight for a full quarter of an hour, the "petals" gradually stretched and bloomed, revealing the wick inside.
And Ruan Xun, who was holding it, became paler and paler.He was plain-clothed and silver-haired, and his expression was cold. Sitting here, it was as if a jade statue had been placed on the carpet.The effect of the only Ming grass has long since disappeared, and the time that the elixir can last is about to run out, and perhaps in a few breaths, the soul will collapse.Fingertips began to tremble.
Running out of time?Ruan Xun asked himself in his heart.Do you want to do it all over again, waiting for time and opportunity to gather the scattered souls?
No, he is not willing to fall short at this moment.
He has walked thousands of miles of blood, broken one knife after another, even if he still has a long life, which can be wasted waiting, but he doesn't want to stop here.
The soul cannot collapse at this moment, the soul will not collapse at this moment, he will definitely last until the lamp of eternity is lit!
It was too late to say it, and then it was too late, a powerful mind rushed to the altar, Ruan Xun learned without a teacher, threw the lamp of eternity, suspended it in the air, and then twirled his fingers to form a seal, using the divine power in his body to forcibly sew up the soul that was about to collapse .
Amidst the sounds of the autumn river in August, the wind is still.
In the next moment, a strong energy exploded from Ruan Xun's body, causing the air currents to surge incessantly, extremely violently, as if to turn the universe upside down and the world upside down.In an instant, the century-old tree snapped at the waist, and the house collapsed. If Yuan Xiaohan hadn't fallen into the barrier in advance just in case, the entire Languang Island would be affected!
But after being swept away, the barrier was about to shatter.
Gang Feng.
Yuan Xiaohan's eyes widened.
Disappeared with the fall of the gods, now only exists in rumors, appearing in extremely high, deep and dangerous places that cannot be set foot, tearing apart all dharmas and destroying all things.Was he summoned by Ruan Xun?
"not good!"
Dian Muya grabbed Ah Qi and Ruan Qiuhe and retreated quickly. When it was impossible to retreat, he pointed to the void and dropped a defensive barrier.After barely resisting the strong wind, he began to strengthen the barrier.
"He's burning himself! He still can't control that power!" Ah Qi's eyes were pierced, and he shook Mu Ya's shoulder and growled, "Is there any way to make the lamp of eternity ignite quickly? no!"
"There is no way to speed up the burning of the Lamp of Never. The only thing we can do now is to stabilize the situation for Xiaochunshan, so that he will not go mad, or be manipulated by that force and explode to death." After counting, he frowned and shook his head, "But now, no matter who goes there, he will be hurt. Gangfeng is a guard-type energy, repelling everything that comes close."
The airflow in the courtyard was violent, and all living and dead things were thrown into the air.Dust and sand filled the sky, almost covering the stars.
In the center of the air flow, Ruan Shuang's silver hair fluttered and his clothes fluttered violently. When everyone was talking, he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at the few people behind the barrier, his eyes were piercingly cold.
At this glance, Ah Qi and Ruan Qiuhe, who were slightly lower in the realm, fell to their knees directly, and even the other three people who were in the phaseless realm shook their figures.
"But no matter what, I will..." Ah Qi struggled to stand up.
Yuan Xiaohan stopped him.
"What are you doing!" Ah Qi glared angrily.
Yuan Xiaohan pushed him behind him with a backhand, put away his sword and stepped out of the barrier, facing the sky-shattering wind, he walked step by step in front of Ruan Xun.
"I go."
It's extremely difficult to go all the way, if a person with ordinary cultivation reaches this point, I'm afraid it will take one step.Yuan Xiaohan pinched the sword formula to resist, the closer he got, the stronger the wind, in the blink of an eye, the yew tree was broken into rags, his face, hands, chest and legs were all covered with bloodstains.
Ruan Xun looked at him coldly, as if looking at a stranger, with no emotion in his eyes.
"Xiaolan, may I come to accompany you?" Yuan Xiaohan asked him softly, bending his eyes.
The person sitting cross-legged in the court tilted his head, then lowered his eyes and stopped looking at him.
"If you don't refuse, you agree." Yuan Xiaohan smiled.
He moved on.
When he walked in front of Ruan Xun, Yuan Xiaohan's ten fingertips were bleeding down, he withdrew the sword formula without hesitation, stopped the blood with Yuanli, then applied a cleansing technique on himself, half-knelt down, Hold Ruan Xun's hand.
"Baby, your hands are so cold." Yuan Xiaohan stared into Ruan's eyes, put Ruan's hand to his lips, and pecked lightly.
Ruan Xun raised his eyes.
At this moment, he has become completely different from him. He used to be just indifferent. At this moment, he treats everything like dust.
"Is the baby uncomfortable?" Yuan Xiaohan kissed his fingers again, his voice became softer, "Come at me, okay, can you vent it on me?"
After Yuan Xiaohan's words fell, the wind suddenly stopped, and the person opposite him gave a soft "oh" in an upbeat tone, and continued, "As you wish."
The gang wind suddenly became violent, and all of them rushed towards Yuan Xiaohan.
Ruan Xun looked coldly at the person in the crimson-purple shirt, indifferently.
The wind was like knives, and thousands of blades fell on Yuan Xiaohan's body, invisible and colorless, but sharp.The bone-piercing pain hit him, and his figure swayed violently, but he stabilized very quickly.Kneeling on one knee changed to two knees, he held Ruan Xun's arm with one hand, and with the other hand, five fingers forcibly inserted between Ruan Xun's fingers.
"Let's divert our attention." Yuan Xiaohan said with a smile, then leaned over and kissed this man's pale lips.
"Oh!" Ruan Xun's eyes widened.
Yuan Xiaohan held Ruan Xun who was struggling constantly, and passed Yuanli over, bit by bit to calm the turbulent divine power in the body.He was extremely patient, like soothing a mischievous child, gently smoothing out the frizzy hair, and then handing over a bunch of candy, his movements were full of flattery.
Ruan Xun was extremely familiar with this kind of tenderness and flattery, and there was a hint of his breath in the energy that this person transferred.The coldness in his eyes receded slowly, and he began to respond subconsciously.
"Yuan?" Yuan Xiaohan laughed, and slid his hand from Ruan's arm to his waist, making him stick closer to himself.
When the domineering wind disappeared and the divine power lazily returned to the Lingtai, Yuan Xiaohan used his own power to stabilize the crumbling and broken soul.
There is the sound of the piano in the courtyard, ethereal and soft, as delicate as water, more like a moonlight flowing out.
Ruan Xun calmed down a bit.
The illusory stars reappear in the sound of the autumn river in August, the starlight is quietly sprinkled, and the hanging lamp of eternity rotates by itself.Yuan Xiaohan raised his finger and let it fall back into Ruan Xun's hands.
The tip of the wick glowed faintly as it struggled to burn into a flame.
I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour, maybe a quarter of an hour, the small faint light finally brightened and turned into a ball of eye-catching white light.
It flew out of Ruan Fei's hand, and after a circle, it gradually shrunk and sank into the center of Ruan's eyebrows.
Yuan Xiaohan grabbed Ruan Shang's hands with both hands, pressed his forehead against his forehead, and let out a long sigh of relief.
The stars above his head disappeared, and the sound of the piano in his ears dissipated.
After a moment of silence, Ruan Lu's eyelashes trembled and he woke up.He slowly raised his eyelids, and the moment he fixed Yuan Xiaohan, the man bent his eyes.
"Are you a fool?" Ruan Xun whispered, with a slightly reproachful tone.
"If I'm a fool, then you, who have been my opponent for so many years, aren't you also a fool?" Yuan Xiaohan said slowly.
Ruan Xun glared at him, then smiled again.
"You have just recovered, and it will take some time to recuperate. I will take you back to your room now." Yuan Xiaohan helped Ruan Xun tidy up his messy hair, and then threw out several pieces of talisman paper and hundreds of spirit stones, turning the ruined Qiujiang into a mess. The sound of August returned to its original appearance.
Ruan Xun did not refuse, but only made one request: "I will go by myself."
"it is good."
Yuan Xiaohan helped Ruan Xun up, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly heard the man ask, "How's your injury?"
"This place is not like Languang Island where you can't use Yuanli, I'm already done." Yuan Xiaohan said lightly.
Ruan Xun raised his eyebrows, not believing it.When he was able to go back to the room, when the man closed the door behind his back, he squeezed his shoulder unexpectedly, and as expected, he heard a muffled groan.
"The wound I caused is not that easy to heal, even if you are a practitioner of the Formless Realm." Ruan Shui looked at Yuan Xiaohan and said in a low voice.
The latter bent his eyes and smiled: "Then you help me treat it?"
Ruan Shui expressionless: "Dreams are faster."
Yuan Xiaohan rubbed Ruan Xun's cheek: "Of course I'm joking. You just recovered from a serious illness and need to be taken care of carefully. How can I be willing to let you waste your time and energy for me?"
Outside the house, Dian Muya stretched out his hand and grabbed Ah Qi's collar, and carried him away.
Sitting behind the stone table, Mu Xiyun, who was staring at the six-stringed instrument in a daze, also came back to his senses, and quickly walked out of the August Sound of the Autumn River.
Ruan Qiuhe was the only one left in the courtyard. She stood in a daze for a while, raised her hand to slap her forehead, lifted her skirt and ran away.
In the end, Ruan Xun helped Yuan Xiaohan heal the injury. After all, the injury was caused by him, and several places were close to the heart, which was extremely dangerous.However, Yuan Xiaohan's wound had just healed, so he lost his strength and fell asleep.
Yuan Xiaohan lit a tranquilizing incense in the house, this time he slept for a long time.
He had a dream again, but it had nothing to do with the past.The dream was a mythical story, the part that Yuan Xiaohan told him on Languang Island, the three supreme gods in charge of the sun, moon and stars fell for some reason, and the world has no light ever since, and fell into a darkness that cannot be dispelled.
Without light, many crops could not grow. During that time, there were famines and scrambles everywhere, frequent wars between countries, countless casualties, and rivers of blood.The merciful Empress God fell to the ground and wept for a long time, and said to the supreme heaven that he would use his own godhead as a sacrifice to restore light to the world.
He succeeded.The moment the light of heaven reappeared in the world, he turned into a ray of breeze and disappeared from the world.
Everyone was laughing, everyone was crying. On the streets, stories of Linyuan, the Empress God, who sacrificed his life for the world were spread everywhere. They held up the statue of the Empress God and placed it side by side with the three supreme gods.
But in the dream, Ruan Xun was trying to solve a problem.
——In the disaster that could not discern the truth and caused the fall of the three Supreme Gods, how did the Empress Gods survive?
He couldn't find the answer.
Woke up in the morning, Ah Qi was by his side.The window by the wall was half opened, and the sunlight poured in. The giant snow-white dog lay under the bright light, flicking its tail leisurely.Realizing that Ruan Xun was awake, Ah Qi immediately jumped up and went to the bedside to rub his hand.
"Where's Yuan Xiaohan?" Ruan Xun scanned around and asked, finding that annoying spirit was nowhere to be seen.
"He is in class at Liuyetai. He promised the people at Liuyetai to talk about Languang Island, but now he is so entangled!" Ah Qi replied.
Ruan Xun: "How long have I been asleep?"
"About eleven hours." Ah Qi flicked her tail, fluttered her nose, and sniffed lightly in front of Ruan Xun, her tone was very ambiguous, "Master, you didn't ask about your condition the first time you woke up."
Ruan Xun was expressionless: "I know my situation."
Ah Qi suddenly changed the subject: "Then when can I have the wedding wine?"
"Why did you bring this up suddenly?" Ruan Xun got up and got out of bed, quite speechless.
The seventh thief said with a smile: "When Madam is alive, the greatest hope is that you can settle down and be with someone who treats you well. I have inherited Madam's behest, and of course I care about your situation day and night."
"Although this person is different from the person my wife hoped for back then, I don't want to pursue these small details. Anyway, I chose Xuanyue Island back then because my wife was familiar with them, and because Xuanyue Island was far away from the world. Help you get rid of those things in the world of mortals. But now, even if you don’t want to get in the world of mortals, Hong Chen will find you by yourself.”
"..." Ruan Xun lowered his eyes and glanced at Ah Qi, "The last sentence is from your heart?"
The snow-white giant dog walked around Ruan Xun, curling his legs with its tail from time to time, which was quite flattering: "Hey, the original owner summed it up. He asked me why my wife betrothed you all back then, and then he was so moved." Fan. So, when will you get married?"
Ruan Xun didn't want to discuss this topic too much, so he caught a glimpse of a food box on the table and changed the subject: "Did you bring it back from the dining hall?"
Ah Qi raised his head, and his eyes glowed eagerly: "It's the medicinal food that the original owner made for you, yam pork rib soup and japonica rice porridge with chicken sauce. The pork rib soup was simmered for five hours on low heat, and it's very fragrant."
"He wants you to tell me that you must eat?" Ruan Xun snorted coldly.
"I can't hide it from you." Ah Qi lowered her head.
"What benefit did he give you?" Ruan Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Help me escape the clutches of the Dusk Crow!" Ah Qi grabbed Ruan Xun with her front paws, crying with snot and tears, "Yesterday you cured the soul, but my experience was miserable. The dead bird The crow locked me in the tower and asked me to wear pink clothes and a pink collar. I am a masculine male dog, how can I tolerate such a girl's color! But he just—— woo woo woo at that time you No, no one to help me, I called every day should not call the earth is not working. Fortunately, the original owner heard my call and came to rescue me, otherwise you will not be able to see a complete me now."
Ruan Xun tore it away from himself in disgust.
Ah Qi wiped her face, not wanting to mention Mu Ya more, the topic returned to medicinal food.Ruan Xun went to the table, opened the lid, and put out the soup and porridge.
It was at this time that the door was knocked.Ruan Xun scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that it was Mu Xiyun.
"Since yesterday, Mr. Tsurutori has been guarding the August Sound of the Qiujiang River, and has not left." Ah Qi lowered his voice.
Ruan Xun could roughly guess why Mu Xiyun came here, so he asked Ah Qi to open the door.The clinker guy didn't come back after opening the door, but ran away.
There are only Ruan Shui and Mu Xiyun left in the room.
It's still early, and the wind is still cool. Flowers and willows are scattered, passing through courtyards and yards, evoking Muxi Yunji's blue clothes, and after turning around, passing Ruan Shuang's plain white clothes.
Clothes are flying, but the distance between each other is too far to fall to one place, just like meeting each other but not knowing each other, an acquaintance without knowing each other.
Mu Xiyun stared fixedly at Ruan Xun, and after a long time, he finally spoke: "I have found the Yaotai Realm this time, in order to return the invitations and tokens exchanged when I was engaged to Mr. Ruan."
While talking, he handed a eight-character postcard that was still brand new after many years, and a piece of jade engraved with the word "Long Lovesickness" to Ruan Xun.
"Your one is still at Ruan's house." Ruan Li put it on the table, his tone was calm and indifferent, "I will go back in a few days, and then I will send someone to Xuanyue Island."
But Mu Xiyun shook his head: "No need, just burn the Geng post. As for the token, let it sink to the bottom of Mirror Lake."
"Okay." Ruan Xun nodded.
Mu Xiyun didn't leave just yet, he stood in front of Ruan Xun for a while, and then said: "I wonder if Mr. Ruan is willing to answer the next question."
"Please say."
He hesitated for a long time before asking this question: "Do you...do you really like Sword Master Lonely Moon?"
"How do you like it?" Ruan Xun asked back.
Mu Xiyun was silent, and after a long time, he said: "Even if there is a knife's edge, you will walk over and hug him."
Ruan Shui lowered his eyes, picked up the spoon, and stirred slowly in the soup bowl.The crisp crashing sound fell in the room, and he said quietly: "That should be my favorite."
The hands hidden behind the wide white sleeves shrunk into fists, Mu Xiyun blinked fiercely, took a deep breath, tried his best to control the trembling in his words, and said, "May I ask... why is it him?"
"Maybe it's because he's just annoying." Ruan Xun smiled.
Flow night stage.
Today, Yuan Xiaohan talked about his experience on Languang Island. The huge lecture hall was full of seats, and many Sunmai and Yuemai students also crowded in to increase their knowledge during the class.
Yuan Xiaohan didn't care about this and let them go. At this moment, he was standing among the crowd, talking about the Five Elements Formation.
But I saw a young man squeezed in with a wicked smile, leaned over to another young man who was concentrating on taking notes, and whispered something to him.
The latter's expression changed immediately, and he put down his pen to create another messenger talisman.
After a few breaths, Yuan Xiaohan got the message: Mu Xiyun is alone with Ruan Xun in the sound of August on the autumn river.
A sneer flashed across his face, and he said to everyone: "I have something urgent to deal with, today's class is over, please go ahead."
After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and disappeared.
