The autumn wind rises and the dragon sings

Chapter 209
Crystal snow peak.

The white snow was stained with messy blood. Lao Wuyan collapsed on the ground and passed out. Her ankle was bent abnormally. Snow Owl used both claws to grab the snow and put it on the wound. , has a simple hemostatic effect.

There were footsteps in the distance, and the cold wind brought a familiar scent. The snow owl flapped its wings and flew towards the two figures walking in the wind and snow.

"It's the Snow Owl." Xiao stretched out her hand, but the Snow Owl did not stop, but hovered above, making a rapid chirping sound.

Yi Ruchen explained: "Maybe something happened, let's go over and take a look."

Xiao nodded.

Following Snow Owl to a cave, they saw Lao Wuyan who was seriously injured and unconscious, and the crystal flower that had been uprooted and dead.

Xiao looked confused: "Who is it? Who uprooted the crystal flower? And who hurt Lao Wuyan? Xue Xiao!"

Snow Owl retracted its wings and landed on Xiao's shoulder. His pupils moved slightly. Xiao saw in Snow Owl's eyes the person who had pulled out the Crystal Flower and seriously injured Lao Wuyan.

"Let's save people first."

Yi Ruchen, who was standing behind him, received Xue Xiao's confused gaze, raised a finger bone to his lips, and blinked lightly. Xue Xiao tilted his head, as if he couldn't understand, but still called out twice. In response.

Xiao Xiao didn't notice the interaction between the bird and the soul, so she picked up the dried crystal flower, walked over and helped Lao Wuyan up, and instinctively injected her inner energy into it.

"That's it." Yi Ruchen interrupted Xiao's movements, walked over and clicked on a few acupuncture points. Seeing that Lao Wuyan's face gradually turned red, he explained: "Your inner energy is cold and cold, enter Just keep her alive a little, losing too much will aggravate her injuries, I will do the rest."

Xiao nodded suddenly, and then stood aside, watching Yi Ruchen take out gauze and some herbs, mash the herbs, said "offended" to Lao Wuyan, and then twisted the ankle back to its normal position. Then apply the herbs and wrap it with gauze.

"I've already reattached the bones, but I'm not good at studying. I'd better find a doctor with good medical skills, otherwise I'll have to walk with a limp for the rest of my life." Yi Ruchen took back her hand and looked at her grandma who woke up from pain. Wuyan instructed in a calm tone.

Lao Wuyan, who woke up from the sudden pain, had cold sweat on her forehead, and her originally bloody face turned pale. Seeing the face of the person who saved her, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed: "Thank you, Your Excellency, for saving me twice, so..." Kindness…”

"I'm helping Xiao for Xiao's sake. Just thank him, girl." Yi Ruchen smiled nonchalantly and stood up.

Lao Wuyan looked at Xiao, her eyes falling on the dead crystal flower: "Sorry..."

Xiao Xiao looked puzzled: "Why did you apologize to me?"

Lao Wuyan: "Because I have burdened you."

Xiao Xiao said ignorantly: "Is it enough to say sorry for dragging others down?"

Lao Wuyan lowered her head: "Indeed, this is a debt I cannot repay."

Xiao Xiao became more and more puzzled: "The burden, the apology, the debt that cannot be repaid, Grandma Wuyan, I can't understand what you mean."

Grandma Wuyan replied: "It's hard to describe in one word."

Xiao: "Why were you injured? Is it related to the person who pulled out the crystal flower?"

Lao Wuyan sighed: "It's hard to explain in one word." Xiao: "If there's a question, there's an answer. Why is it so hard to explain in one word?" Lao Wuyan: "There are too many things that can't be solved simply with black and white answers."

Xiao looked at Yi Ruchen beside him: "I don't understand."

"Then there's no need to understand." Yi Ruchen was not interested in these secretive conversations. He looked down at the crystal flower and pointed out something: "But it seems that the person who came here is evil. He uprooted it but deliberately cut off the vitality, girl. Are you sure you don't want to say anything?"

"I...sorry." Lao Wuyan lowered her head.

Yi Ruchen raised his eyes and glanced at her with a half-smile. He said nothing more, but said to Xiao, "I will find a way to restore the crystal flower's life, so don't worry too much."

Xiao nodded: "I believe in my adoptive father."

The relevant conversation ended here. Yi Ruchen glanced at the harsh wind and snow around him and said with a sweet smile: "The injured cannot lie in the snow for a long time. I went into the cave and made the bed. Take a good night." Take care of your friends and help ward off the cold.”

Xiao obediently agreed. Lao Wuyan looked at the young man's back as he sank into the cave, with a look of struggle in his eyes. Finally, when the figure completely disappeared, he was about to say something, but was diverted by Xiao's magic sword Tianqi placed on his waist. attention.

in the cave.

Yi Ruchen waved his hand, and candles lit up around him, illuminating the cave. Then a simple but soft bed appeared in front of him. The overall look was a little better than before.

After finishing it, Yi Ruchen did not rush out. Instead, he picked up the dragon-shaped jade pendant around his waist, looked at the slightly flickering light, and asked with a smile: "Are you worried?"

Seeing the jade pendant flashing twice in response, the smile on his face deepened slightly: "There is nothing to worry about, just concentrate on recuperating. In the end, the protagonist cannot be left out."

Where the finger bones flickered, the cold white smoke covered it bit by bit, slowly blending into it, and the flickering light gradually weakened until it disappeared.

“Why do players use seals on the protagonist? 』A cold mechanical sound appeared.

"Of course, this is to prevent the appearance of two Shaobai. My human foundation has been seriously damaged. Even with the protection of the Yin Bone spiritual power, I cannot withstand the rejection of the origin of the world. It is better to prepare for a rainy day." Yi Ruchen took the jade pendant back to his waist. .

"The player wants to return to his human body again?"Why? 』The human body is so fragile, what is there to cherish?
Yi Ruchen raised his eyes to look at the flickering candlelight on the stone wall. His dark eyes reflected the warmth. A faint smile appeared, but it was fleeting: "Is the system also such a gossip?"

"I just can't understand it. If it's because of the curse of heaven, I just need to suppress my own cultivation and avoid the triggering conditions. 』

Yi Ruchen looked calm: "If you can see the curse of heaven, can you also see what my true form is?"

"...The player's identity...I understand. ” The mechanical voice paused for a moment, and then said with a little pity: “The real curse is that the player is alive. 』

"Ha~"

The young man chuckled and looked away from the candlelight. There was no sadness or joy in his eyes that had lost their light. Then he stepped out of the cave. The mechanical sound fell silent at the same time, as if it had never appeared.

Coming outside the cave, the wind and snow blowing in the face were mixed with the light lotus fragrance. At a glance, he saw the elegant figure wearing a lotus crown standing in front of Xiao. Before he made any move, the other party looked over and bowed slightly. He bowed and said, "It turns out that senior is here too."

"Su Xianren." Yi Ruchen came to Xiao's side, raised his hand in return, and explained with a smile: "This is my adopted son. Something happened to his friend, so I came to help him."

"That's it." Su Huanzhen looked at Xiao, who had a confused look in his eyes. He was only slightly surprised for a moment, and then smiled with understanding.

"I wonder how Su Xian got here? And what happened?"

"The inferior ones think that the seniors should already know."

"..." Yi Ruchen and the smiling Su Huanzhen looked at each other for a moment, feeling a rare helplessness in their hearts. She raised her hand to her forehead: "I hope Su Xian can understand that contemplating the future does not mean omniscience and omnipotence, and that everything can be done. Know it in your heart.”

"What the senior said is."

Su Huanzhen nodded slightly, with an apologetic smile, but not very sincere: "Does the inferior need to repeat it again?"

"There are hard-working and wise people." The water lasted for a long time.

Su Huanzhen told what happened again, and it was no different from the original plot, except that the Shengyao Sword Reward did not bring the friend's body back, and was seriously injured. After finishing the story, he passed out, and In addition to Xiao Xiao, what he said was the mysterious man in red who suddenly appeared from behind, snatched away the body and injured him...

Having said this, Su Huanzhen calmly glanced at Yi Ruchen's exposed hands, with only the pale finger bones remaining. The guess in his heart had been confirmed. After all, when he was trapped by Beichen Yuanhuang before, he was almost killed. The person described in Shengyao Sword Appreciation was sent to the Immortal Mountain.Later, Tan Wuyu didn't want the misunderstanding to get bigger, so he told him the identity of the man, so he came here not only to find out the whole story of grabbing the knife and killing, but also wanted to know the relationship between Xiao and the man.

After hearing about the man in red, Xiao subconsciously looked at Yi Ruchen, but he was more curious about it and had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. Seeing that Yi Ruchen had no intention of explaining, he took one look and took it back Out of sight.

"What do they have the nerve to say about taking them back and asking for punishment? I haven't asked them about their crime of bullying Xiao who is ignorant of the world and destroying the promise without authorization." Yi Ruchen sneered, with a little anger on his face: "Since life and death have been decided If you make a bet, then be willing to accept defeat. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t bet, otherwise you will spoil my children.”

Su Huanzhen looked at the black-haired boy behind him, whose eyes suddenly became bright because of these words, and nodded in deep agreement. From the conversation just now, it can be seen that the boy's mind is no different from that of a child, as simple as With the blank paper and the fact that Xiao had said that he was an inhumane person, he could guess a little bit.Now he would be involved in an inexplicable dispute, which would make anyone unhappy.

"The bad guy will find a way around this matter and go to investigate Yu Ren's life and death. If there is any news, I will come again."

"It's just a small matter, I can handle it. Su Xian has a lot of things to do, so don't be tired from running around." Yi Ruchen is very clear about Yuren Feizhan's situation. Although he can't explain it clearly, he doesn't intend to waste time. : "Compared to a wise man, I think an idler is more suitable for you."

Su Huan really thought that Yi was talking about Xiao, and when he heard the teasing words behind him, he couldn't help but smile: "If senior can help the inferior to share their worries, it is not impossible to be an idler."

"Ah, I suddenly felt a dull pain in my heart. It may be that the injury has recurred. I can't do it without resting for ten days and a half." Yi Ruchen immediately raised his hand to cover his heart, frowning and looking weak.

"Since the senior's injury has not healed, let the inferior do it." For example, the body that was taken away.

"Although it is said that those who are capable work hard, how can we trouble those who are incompetent." Do your own thing.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a matter of convenience." Tell us about the plan?
"No." Yi Ruchen suppressed the helplessness that resurfaced again, and added another sentence after making a pun: "The net has been cast, and if Su Xian doesn't close it on time, he will catch nothing."

So the smile on that face became even deeper: "With the words of senior, it seems that there will be great gains this time."

...not really.

The helpless emotion resurfaced again, and Yi Ruchen thought about whether to seal up the few remaining emotions to avoid being distracted from time to time. However, thinking of the curse of heaven dormant in his body, he gave up this unnecessary idea.

After a few more back-and-forth confrontations, but failed to get the words out, Su Huanzhen no longer planned to test the subject any more. He still understood the principle of enough is enough, but...

Su Huanzhen sighed softly: "It's a pity." He couldn't trick this senior into working.

Yi Ruchen smiled: "It's not a pity." Anyway, it would be the same with or without him.Standing behind, Xiao looked at this and that. She really couldn't understand the confused conversation between the two, and asked curiously: "Father, Su Huanzhen, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? It's because Is it because I don’t understand human nature?”

"This has nothing to do with human nature. It's just that only Su Xian and I know the content. It's normal if we don't understand it." Yi Ruchen turned to him and smiled, explaining.

Xiao suddenly nodded.

Lao Wuyan on the side said: "Su Huanzhen, thank you very much."

Su Huanzhen nodded slightly in agreement, glanced at the expressionless young man unconsciously, and sighed softly in his heart: "It's time for Su to leave. Before leaving, if you don't say some things, it will cause a misunderstanding of silence."

Grandma Wuyan looked embarrassed: "I really have something to hide, I owe it to myself, and no one can help." Su Huanzhen looked at Yi Ruchen after hearing this: "Well, Su can only do his best and obey fate. ”

Lao Wuyan said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Su Huanzhen."

Su Huanzhen: "This is what I should do." After all, the one who can really help them is Yi Ruchen, who has already planned it.

Then he said to Xiao: "Xiao, thinking in black and white will sometimes hurt yourself and even hurt others. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xiao looked confused: "I understand vaguely, but I can't understand it deeply." Su Huanzhen: "Take your time, if you have any questions, don't keep it in your heart, as long as you can help me, you can come to Liuli Wonderland at any time. I'll start with you." Farewell."

Xiao nodded with an educated look.

Yi Ruchen smiled and cupped his hands: "Not far away."

The lotus fragrance dissipated away, and the crystal snow peak returned to calm again.

Yi Ruchen looked at the sky that had turned dark before he knew it, and said to Xiao: "It's freezing outside, help this girl into the cave, and I'll prepare some food."

Xiao nodded obediently, and then helped the person in. Yi Ruchen looked at the silent figure and murmured in a low voice: "I didn't seize the opportunity twice..."

In the public court, Su Huanzhen reported to Zhao Muzun about the magic sword and Xiao, but of course he also concealed the matter about Yi Ruchen.

Su Huanzhen: "That's what happened."

Zhaomu Zun looked thoughtful: "So, Xiao didn't intend to steal things and kill people, and he didn't know the identity of the person who took Yijian Xianshu's body?"

Su Huanzhen said calmly: "Of course." If the senior didn't say anything, naturally no one would know.

Fa Wuwu couldn't hide his anger: "There are state laws and family rules. The establishment of the Wulin Public Court is aimed at maintaining the order of the Wulin. Strictly prohibiting private fights is the first priority. Even if both parties were at fault in the matter of seizing the sword, killing people Paying life for one's life is the most basic principle. If Xiao cannot get the punishment he deserves, it will be difficult for the sect and even the people in the world to answer."

Zhao Muzun hesitated for a moment, faintly aware of something wrong, but did not think much about it: "What Fadu Ling said is true. Even though Xiao did not intend to kill people, the laws of the public court must still be implemented in order to be recognized by the people of the world. Please ask Fadu. The capital ordered us to go to the Crystal Snow Peak to bring back Naraku Yexiao. I believe that a fair trial will be made in accordance with the capital order."

Fa Wuwu said righteously: "Thank you very much, Master, I will do my best."

Su Huanzhen looked at this scene and shook his head secretly in his heart: "Since the court master has made this ruling, Su will no longer interfere with this matter. I still have important matters to take my leave first."

Of the three words "public court", the most important thing is the first word "public". If it cannot even do this, how can it benefit the people?Moreover, this senior is not as easy to talk to as Feng Shaoxia, and he is so thoughtful, I am afraid that the public court will peel off his skin this time.

Thinking of what Zilan said before about one body and two souls, Su Huanzhen couldn't help but frowned. He had not seen any trace of Feng Shaoxia, and he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

Zhaomu Zun didn't know Su Huanzhen's thoughts. Hearing this, he raised his hand to say goodbye: "Please."

Su Huanzhen retracted her thoughts, held the fly whisk in her hand, lowered her body and returned the greeting, then turned and left.

inside the cave.

Guiliang Tianxia was feeling complacent about winning the third artifact "Sky-shaking Power" from Wolong Xing. When he was intoxicated in the fantasy of the supreme martial arts, the Buddha-Swallowing Boy came to the cave with the cold-looking Jiang Yin.

Guiliang Tianxia, ​​who already had some trump cards, even had the idea of ​​trying it on the two demons, but Tufo Tongzi and Jiang Yin ignored it. In view of the cooperative relationship, Tufo Tongzi also reminded that the artifact might have Side effects that affect the mind, such as the roar of the dragon and Beichen Yuanhuang, are the reasons why the demon world does not join in the robbery of artifacts.

However, Guiliang Tianxia didn't take it to heart and was confident that he would not be affected by this. The Buddha-Tombing Boy stopped talking and handed over the bag of tips he had taken from Su Huanzhen.

Guiliang Tianxia: "The boy who swallowed the Buddha is absolutely foolproof."

The Buddha-Swallowing Boy: "How can the exchange with the Palace Master fail?"

After Guiliang Tianxia sneered, he opened the bag to explore the details inside. When he saw the contents of the note, he was shocked.

The boy who swallowed the Buddha asked: "How?"

Guiliang Tianxia's face was gloomy: "Dian Tian Ji is still alive."

The boy who swallowed the Buddha looked leisurely: "Oh, Na Su Huanzhen must have guessed about the cooperation, and the master of the palace fell into the trap."

Guiliang Tianxia sneered: "It doesn't matter, I can take advantage of it."

The boy who swallowed the Buddha said: "This person is not dead, so it is meaningless to ask the demon world to take the blame. The demon world can give the palace master half of the conditions to change." Guiliang Tianxia: "Kill the person who wants to go up the ladder to the galaxy."

The boy who swallowed the Buddha nodded slightly: "The condition change is established. Half of the conditions are that I will not help you indefinitely. This mission is to kill only one person and only keep it for one day; more than one person is not our obligation."

Guiliang Tianxia thought for a moment: "There is still one person who is not dead. Farewell to Fengchou..."

"Does the master of the palace regard us as thugs who clean up the mess? It is understandable that Dian Tianji is not dead, but a seriously injured Fengchou is not dead..." Jiang Yin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with a very mocking tone. : "Master, please don't reflect on yourself. Are you too weak?"

"Ok?"

Guiliang Tianxia frowned, his true energy surged around his body, and an extremely tyrannical pressure was released from his body.

Jiang Yin snorted coldly, a flash of contempt flashed in her red eyes, and the blood-colored demonic energy suddenly exploded, faintly suppressing the incoming infuriating energy. The stone wall beside her trembled, forcing Guiliang Tianxia to take half a step back. Qi was about to counterattack in an instant.

"Jiang Yin." It was rare to see Jiang Yin take it seriously. The Buddha-Eating Boy watched the show for a while, and then spoke slowly to stop him: "The master of the palace is a partner in the devil world, so he must not be rude."

Jiang Yin snorted softly and withdrew the dissipated demonic energy. Guiliang Tianxia felt his body relax, and a fishy sweetness surged in his throat. He then swallowed it forcefully, looking at the white-clothed demon with fear in his eyes.

The boy who swallowed the Buddha bowed slightly: "Master, I'm sorry."

"The style of the demon world is really straightforward." Guiliang Tianxia sneered, but he did not press ahead: "I only need to achieve this goal, and I only need this life."

The boy who swallowed the Buddha nodded in agreement: "Since the Palace Master has made it clear, I will try my best to achieve it."

Guiliang Tianxia: "It's satisfying to cooperate with smart people, hahaha~"

The boy who swallowed the Buddha bowed again: "The demon world will also be waiting for the next news from the palace master, please."

Guiliang Tianxia: "Please."

The Buddha-Tombing Boy and Jiangyin Huaguang left.

Guiliang Tianxia sneered: "Humph! You can escape the first time, but you can't escape the second time. It's time to start publicizing the other thing."

another place.

The boy who swallowed the Buddha turned into light and stopped, looking at his companion who looked worried: "Are you expressing your anger just now?"

Jiang Yin's face was cold: "You can't even kill a seriously injured person, what a waste!"

It was the first time that the Buddha-Eating Boy saw the other party being so angry. His heart moved slightly, and he believed the information told by She Sheng a little more. It seemed that the master of Jiangyin had indeed died unexpectedly, and he only had time to collect some of the remaining souls. He needed to Looking for a suitable body as a container for resurrection, that's why Jiang Yin said that his master could be a human or a demon.

Jiang Yin had paid more attention to the doctor who had tricked the demon world before, and probably planned to use that person as a container. However, he did not expect that Guiliang Tianxia would be so negligent, leaving a trace of life for that person.It was this glimmer of vitality that made all Jiang Yin's arrangements fall short. No wonder he was so emotionally exposed.

"Now is the opportunity for the Demon Realm to recuperate, you need to be careful." The Buddha-Tombing Boy, who automatically figured out the cause and effect, looked at Jiang Yin, half warning and partly comforting: "Guiliang Tianxia is now a collaborator of the Demon Realm."

It means that you can't take action now. When the conditions for cooperation are gone, you can beat him at will.

Jiang Yin raised her head, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled: "I understand."

The boy who swallowed the Buddha nodded gently: "You calm down first, the devil world does not need people who are motivated by their own will."

When Jiang Yin responded with a smile, the boy who swallowed the Buddha turned around and left, heading for the Galaxy Ladder.

Jiang Yin watched him leave, thinking about the other person's behavior of deliberately leaving a private space, and doubts appeared in his red eyes: Now that it's like this, why are you still not planning to expel me from the demon world, or even obliterate me?
Late at night, crystal snow peaks.

The sky is densely covered with stars and clouds, and a crescent moon hangs. Yi Ruchen is sitting on a cliff with her eyes slightly closed. The milky white moonlight falls and lingers around her, blocking the wind and snow from her body. Her brows and eyes are gentle, revealing a few... It has an indifferent and condensed charm.

His shoulders sank, and a warm cloak covered his body. A somewhat similar power floated and spread like ripples, making the moonlight aura around him much thicker.

Yi Ruchen slowly opened his eyes, tilted his head to look into a pair of smiling red eyes, raised his pale knuckles and landed on the enchanting face, raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Is something wrong?"

"I want the master to do it for me..." The devil with white hair and red eyes raised his hand, and placed his slender and warm palm on the phalanx without any warmth, with a respectful expression: "Dispel the confusion."
