Chapter 21 Moonrise in the East

Mu Xiyun and Ruan Qiuhe went to Mingshan Hall together to investigate the injuries of those infected with corpse poison.

Yue Pujie went out with Ruan Lu, and there was a shortage of people in the city who could coordinate the affairs of all parties. At this time, the person with the highest level of cultivation in the city was Mu Xiyun, so the burden fell on him.

As for the two who just left the city——

On the empty and deserted road, the sun is fierce.Yue was puzzled, afraid that Ruan Xun would be exposed to the sun, so he opened an umbrella over the man's head, but Ruan Xun didn't appreciate it at all, turned aside, and left under the umbrella, saying, "Stay away from me."

"We agreed to walk together." Yue Pujie raised her eyebrows slightly, let go of the handle on the umbrella, and blew over, and the dark jade-purple umbrella fluttered spontaneously and came to the top of Ruan Xun's head. .

Ruan Xun stopped, and the umbrella above his head also stopped, and turned slightly as he turned his head.Ruan Xun cast a glance upwards, then looked at last month's perplexed slightly bent eyes, and asked blankly, "Who made an agreement with you?"

"You." Yue Bujie took this statement as a question and answered.

"..." Ruan Xun twitched the corner of his lower lip sarcastically.

Yue Bujie narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to support his chin, looked at Ruan Xun carefully, and said, "Ruan Xiaoxue, I found that your smile has always been a sneer. Otherwise, you can smile gently, and I will appreciate you." If you are interested, how about I tell you the reason why I changed the flute for a sword?"

Ruan Xun raised his foot and continued walking, saying "I'm not interested" indifferently.

"Your eyes tell me that you are very interested, and they are saying that they hope that I can tell you the answer." Yue Pujie persisted.

Ruan Xun: "No."

Yue Bujie immediately changed his tone, lowered his voice, and said, "Okay, then I want to tell you."

"But I don't want to know." Ruan Xun's voice was still cold.

"Oh." Yue Bujie lowered her eyes, her tone pretended to be lost, and dragged the word for a long time.But he couldn't finish the last few scheduled dates, because Ruan Xun interrupted him: "You are very noisy."

"Then I'll play the flute for you?" Yue puzzled and suggested.

"It will scare the poisonous corpses so that they dare not come out." Ruan Xun said.

The person who kept half a step away from him hummed, "It's really not easy to make you talk."

Ruan Xun stopped answering the call.And Yue Puzzled finished speaking, but kept talking, and really took out the flute, and followed Ruan Xun, playing while walking.

He understands poisonous corpses, so he won't be deceived by Ruan's words—poisonous corpses don't have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages at all, and won't be frightened by people with advanced realms and things with advanced cultivation bases. They are active day and night, using their only sense of hearing and smell to find traces of living creatures, and hunt and bite them until they become of the same kind.

Therefore, if Yue Pujie plays the flute at this moment, not only will it not scare the poisonous corpses into hiding, but it will lure them into action.

Therefore, Ruan Shui was just talking, and did not really stop Yue Pujie from doing this.

The sound of Yue Pujie's flute is extremely changeable.

He doesn't just play a certain tone of music, he can change from light, soothing, low and passionate at will, which seems to be nowhere to be found, but if Ruan Xun pays attention, he can find that Yue Pujie is changing according to his slightly changing expression. music.

Gradually, the music played by Yue Pujie was fixed on the low and slow characteristic.

He found that Ruan Shuang might like this kind of music more.

After a few songs, the two walked to an open field.

It was early spring, and most places only sprinkled seeds in the fields, but Longjin Island is located in the south, and the temperature rose early, and the green seedlings in the fields have already sprouted high.

At this moment, rustling noises could be heard continuously from the field, and the lush vegetable seedlings were trampled to pieces and crushed into the soil miserably.Looking at the traces, it was a few poisonous corpses chasing a panicked cat.

Ruan Xun was about to make a move, but saw that the umbrella above his head suddenly dropped, blocking his sight, and then the flute sounded next to his ear, turning into a sharp blade and sweeping forward.When Ruan Xun grasped the handle of the umbrella, raised it up, and regained his vision, the poisonous corpses under the ridge of the field were neatly arranged in a row.The cat survived the catastrophe, and gave a "meow" to this side delicately and weakly.

He gave Yue a puzzled look very lightly.

"Don't talk." Yue Pujie raised the corners of her lips suddenly, and twirled the jade flute lightly between her fingers. After holding it back in her hand, she touched Ruan Xun's thin lips without any curvature, "Let me guess." What do you want to say."

Ruan Xun took a step back in disgust.

Yue was puzzled and still bent his eyes, staring at Ruan Shui for a moment, and said in a drawn-out tone: "You want to say, I took out the sword, but I still used the jade flute as a weapon, which is very boring."

"No." Ruan Xun immediately denied, "I want to ask you, did you check when you prevented people from burning the poisoned corpses in the city?"

"Oh." Yue Bujie pursed his lips, then shook his head, and seriously answered Ruan Xun's question: "Look at those poisonous corpses, they are different from ordinary walking corpses, with a thin layer of poisonous miasma flowing around them. For us , This is nothing, but the residents in the city are different, they are fragile and easily affected.

Although these poisonous corpses were killed, the poisonous miasma still existed and lingered for a long time, only fire could remove it.Therefore, allowing them to stay for a while longer means that the residents of the city will be more threatened. I dare not take the risk of comparing these corpses one by one under such circumstances. "

Ruan Xun nodded and stepped down the field ridge.

Yue Bujie followed closely behind, and together with Ruan Xun, carefully inspected these poisonous corpses.

This move did not yield much, these people were just ordinary farmers before, and when the poisonous corpse attacked, they were probably squatting under a tree to eat together, but no one escaped.

They lit a fire, burned several corpses, and carried out a simple burial before moving on.

The same is true of what happened next.There were basically no living people outside the city, and I encountered several batches of poisonous corpses, most of which were chasing wild cats and dogs.Some of these poisonous corpses are newly dead, and some have been dead for many years.Ruan Shui and Yue Bujie focused on checking and comparing the old corpses, and found that they were not very related.

Time flowed slowly, and when I came back to my senses, it was already the setting sun, and the shadows were long.

On the cold and desolate mountain road, the wind breaks one after another, rustling the leaves, but now is not the day, tired birds do not return to their nests, stubborn monkeys do not return to the forest, and the mountains are as quiet as death.

Yue Pujie buried the last handful of ashes, stretched his waist, and said to Ruan Xun, "The busyness in the afternoon can only show that the person who refined the poisonous corpse picked people randomly, and did not target specific people."

"Who is he? Why did he release the poisonous corpse to endanger the entire Longjin Island? Tsk, it's very difficult to understand."

Standing on the edge of the mountain road, Ruan Xun looked down at Longjin Island, which was about to be burned by the afterglow of the sunset. After a long time, he whispered: "Be patient, and you will always get the answer."

"But before we get the answer, we should fill our stomachs first." Yue Pujie said with a smile, walked to Ruan Xun's side in three steps and two steps, and pointed to somewhere in the city, "The sweet and sour fish in that restaurant is delicious , why don’t you try it?”

Ruan Xun naturally said no, but Yue Bujie gave him the time to refuse, but did not give him a chance to act. He raised his hand to grab the umbrella that had been hanging over Ruan Xun's head for the whole afternoon, put it away, and squeezed the man's wrist again. , pointing his toes, and took him back to the city.

The moon rises in the east and is nearly full. As the afterglow of the setting sun gathers into a line and disappears in the west mountain, it gradually becomes brighter.

The silver glow gently sprinkled on the ground, and in the restaurant, several delicious dishes were served on the table, including fish, rabbit, and chicken, as well as thick and milky big bone soup.

Yue Bujie smiled and filled a bowl of soup, and pushed it to Ruan Xun's hand.Ruan Xun didn't raise his hand, but he didn't leave directly, and he didn't say anything similar to "you're looking for a fight".

Because the moon puzzled aroused his curiosity.

——The bastard said something to him after he dragged him into the restaurant and before asking the waiter to order.

The man said: "Actually, I already have a vague guess in my heart, but if you don't eat with me, I won't tell you, and I won't take you to destroy the lair of the corpse refiner."
