Spring mountain night belt knife

Chapter 23

Being plotted against, Ruan Xun thought in his heart, and immediately struggled violently, but instead of escaping from Yuebuxie's arms, he was hugged even tighter.

He said again, this is what you asked for.Immediately afterwards, he twisted his body, showed the cat's sharp claws, and scratched a deep gash on Yue's puzzled face.

Yue was puzzled and didn't expect Ruan Xun to react so violently and had to let go.

Ruan Xun immediately jumped several feet away, gave Yue a puzzled look, turned around and ran to the depths of the cave.

"Hey, don't run, I'll give you the antidote!" Yue Pujie didn't care to stop the bleeding, and chased after him and shouted in a low voice.

Ruan Xun kept walking, and now Yue didn't explain a word, he didn't believe a word, and thought to himself, this person is not only annoying, but also should be killed directly.

"Ruan Xun, I was wrong. The effect of this medicine will last for three hours. You can't just take the antidote and run around." Yue Pujie half-bent, quietly making preparations for arrest, and chased after Ruan. Behind him, he said in a low voice.

Ruan Xun's running movement stopped suddenly - this man was right, his cultivation base was still suppressed, and now he was no different from an ordinary kitten, walking around here randomly, if he fell into some trap by mistake, he would definitely be injured.

Due to such reasons, he turned around, raised his head, and stared coldly at Yue not far away, puzzled.The latter hid his movements very quickly, took out a pill, and presented it to Ruan Xun respectfully.

"This is the antidote, please." Yue Pujie smiled sincerely against the scratch that ran diagonally from the corner of his left eye and extended to the tip of his nose, which was still bleeding out.

Ruan Xun didn't move, he squatted on the ground with a scrutinizing expression.

Puzzled, Yue squatted down, her attitude becoming more and more sincere: "It's really the antidote, if I lie to you, you will be struck by lightning when you go out!"

Practitioners have always paid attention to their oaths, and if they break their oaths, they will be punished by heaven.

Ruan Xun believed him, flicked his tail slightly, poked his head out, leaned over to sniff, then grabbed it with one paw, and retreated three feet away.

Before taking this antidote, he didn't forget to stare at the moon in puzzlement.

Yue puzzled and lowered her eyes, hiding the look of regret in her eyes.

This elixir can release both deformation and cultivation restraint. After recovering, Ruan Xun suddenly drew his sword and dodged to Yue Bujie's body.The cold blade was pressed against Shang Yue's puzzled cheek, and he said coldly, "I will settle accounts with you after I get out."

"I was wrong, I'm sorry." Yue was puzzled and squatted on the ground, looking up at Ruan Xun, showing an innocent expression, "I will never do this again."

"There is no future between us." Ruan Xun's tone was flat, he put away his knife, and turned to walk deep into the cave.

After such a commotion, Ruan Lu guessed that the cave owner should have discovered them, so he stopped deliberately quieting his footsteps and hiding his figure.

Yue Bujie did what he thought, but his voice was still lowered, he didn't want their conversation to be heard by the cave master.

"The enchantment outside the cave is very clever. If it wasn't obtained by stealing or inheriting from others, then the cultivation of the owner of this place should be extraordinary, perhaps a reclusive expert. But even so, I still hope that you don't do anything unless it is absolutely necessary. .” Yue said puzzled.

Ruan Xun's voice was cold: "Don't worry, even if you are about to die, I will not rescue you."

Yue puzzled and chuckled: "Angry words."

Ruan Xun: "You can give it a try."

After all, he refused to talk to Yue Pujie again.

As he went deeper, the light became dimmer. Yue Bujie took out a lamp from the Primordial Ring to illuminate the path ahead and traveled.

This is a cave with a river passing through its head, and it is cold and humid everywhere. The wild cats and rabbits who strayed into this cave died and decayed here, and you can see it after a certain distance.Those condensed strange auras floated in the mid-air of the road, turning faintly, adding a bit of weirdness to this place.

"I haven't seen any traps or mechanisms after walking for a long time. It seems that the owner here welcomes us very much." In the silence, Yue said inexplicably.

Ruan Xun ignored it.

Yue Bujie changed the angle of the topic: "Well, we are welcome to be his new thugs. After all, you and I are so skilled in martial arts."

Ruan Xun still didn't answer.

The light was light yellow and warm, and the smog that permeated the room was not so strange, but it couldn't warm Ruan Xun's expression. Yue Bujie touched his nose, thinking that this time Ruan Xun was really annoyed.He began to think about how to coax people well, but before he could think of an effective trick, he saw that the road ahead suddenly opened up.

This is a spacious open space, about the size of a square, with a well in the center, and stone caves connected to it in all directions.

"It looks like this valley has been opened up." Yue Pujie said softly.

There is nothing special in the open space, only the smoke illuminated by the lamp in Yue Bujie's hand, all of which gathers into the mouth of the well.

Yue Bujie walked over, raised a lamp to illuminate the walls and bottom of the well, and raised her hand to greet Ruan Xun, "This well is not deep, the bottom is very dry, and even paved with floor tiles, it is a channel, not for drawing water."

After looking at it, Ruan Xun said indifferently, "Yes", pointing his toes, and jumped down.

This well is very mysterious, it doesn't seem to be deep, but the end of the falling process is long, and the strange blue smoke overflows the body, as if it has strayed into some strange space.

However, Ruan Xun was not frightened. He took advantage of this moment to carefully examine the patterns on the wall of the well with the light from the lamp that Yue Pujie was holding behind him—no, it’s better to use totems instead of patterns. describe.

These totems present a certain pattern, which can be seen as extremely complicated at first glance, but if you look closely, there is a faint tendency to sink deep.

Ruan Xun stared at it for a while, and after finding something, he wanted to look away and stop looking into it, but he couldn't move his eyes.

The next moment, a pair of slightly cool hands suddenly stretched out and covered Ruan Xun's eyes.

"Don't stare, these things can confuse people's hearts. You are already insane, and something will happen if you look at it for a long time." Yue Pujie said softly, his tone was less lazy than in the past, and in the noble voice It exuded seriousness, like a glass of wine poured into the night after being chilled.

Ruan Xun blinked slowly, then took away Yue's puzzled hand, and said thank you.

Yue Bujie smiled, glanced around, turned around and said to Ruan Xun, "Have you heard of the Xinyi people?"

"A race that became extinct a hundred years ago." Ruan Xun lowered his eyelids and replied in a low voice.

"I've had the honor to get to know them deeply. This is a race that studies death, reincarnation and souls. Of course, refining poisonous corpses is also their specialty." Yue Bujie said.

Ruan Xun answered: "The immortality of the soul is their belief."

Yue puzzled and said "huh" in surprise: "I didn't expect you to be so clear."

"I have visited their hermitage before, and I know them as well as you do," Ruan Xun said.

"Then you're still staring at his totem." Yue smiled incomprehensibly, with no reproach in her tone.

Ruan Xun couldn't refute these words, his lips parted, but he didn't say anything after all.

"The hermitage of the Xinyi people is not Longjin Island, but their totems appear here, maybe it is the work of the survivors." Yue Bujie snorted again, "They are proficient in the theory of reincarnation and the three souls of people. Very well researched. Since you are very repulsed by me saving you, why not torture the owner of this place, maybe you can get something out of it.”

Ruan Xun turned his head and gave a very low "hmm".

Between words, the two finally landed on the ground, and when they took a closer look, there was a wide corridor in front of them, which could allow two carriages to drive side by side, and it was extremely high, about three stories high.

The stone walls in all directions are engraved with the totems of the Xinyi people. Stone statues stand on both sides of the road, and you can see one at a distance.

The blue mist poured into the depths of the corridor, Ruan Xun and Yue looked at each other puzzledly, and followed one after the other.

Halfway through the journey, there was a sudden rumble in front of him, the totem flashed by the smoke lit up, and a strange formation was being activated.

Ruan Xun and Yue stopped in confusion, and a moment later, they heard a voice: "You are not small, dare to break into my Ming Palace, then... let's try it with your life!"

The voice was hoarse and unbearable, mixed with low laughter, which made people quite uncomfortable, and it echoed in all directions, and it was difficult to identify the source for a while.

Yue Pujie casually twirled the fife with his fingertips, and Ruan Shui—for a while, he naturally didn't forget what Yue Pujie said earlier to tell him not to make a move.

So Ruan Xun slowly withdrew his knife, stepped aside, and watched from the sidelines.

For Ruan Xun's actions, Yue Pujie was very satisfied, nodded and praised "good boy", in exchange for a cool and cool glance.

It was too late and then quickly, dozens of figures emerged from the lit totem, all of them were old corpses, with obvious limbs and facial features.They should have been human beings before they were alive, but at this moment, they have become giant monsters with a length of two feet and a width of about three feet.

"One phaseless realm, three Qianyuan realms, and seven or eight Qin state of mind." Standing behind Yue Bujie, Ruan Xun whispered for the realm of the number.

"Don't worry." Yue Bujie bent his eyes, slightly turned the jade flute in his hand, and then threw it back, "I'll play it for you, so that you won't be bored by the side."

The flute happened to be thrown in front of Ruan Xun. If he didn't pick it up, it might break when it fell to the ground. Ruan Xun stretched out his hand expressionlessly.

In the next moment, Seeing Yue Puzzled drew his sword.

The body of the sword is black, breaking through the eerie smoke with a light swing, and with a sideways wrist shake, accompanied by the long sword whistling, the cold sword energy spread like ripples.

The wind blew against his face, blowing the corners of his plain white clothes flying, and when his hair fell like silver frost, Ruan Xun stood still by the road, squinting his eyes calmly.

He served the Chen Dynasty for the first half of his life. He has gone through countless battles, big and small. He was truly defeated only once.

In the Battle of Pingling that year, the Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty lived far away in the imperial capital, and ordered the sword of his life to travel thousands of miles, knocking down the knife in his hand and smashing his mask.

A game that had been laid out for several years was overturned at the last moment, and ended up falling short.

Now, a hundred years later, on the long corridor in the mountain cave, the wind blows, and the breath is bitter and bitter.Tsk, it's really familiar.
