The autumn wind rises and the dragon sings

Chapter 81 The wandering ghost in the former residence failed to test

After Zi Lan and the Lord of the Remnant Forest shared the roasted rabbit and finished eating, the Lord of the Remnant Forest proposed the idea of ​​going to visit his former residence. Zi Lan naturally agreed and took the initiative to push the wheelchair behind.

While pushing the wheelchair down the mountain, Zilan's eyes were unconsciously placed on the twisted right foot of the owner of the remaining forest, and she thought to herself: If that method is used, the owner of the forest should be able to get out of the wheelchair. Have you stood up and walked?But I still feel something is strange, so I might as well observe it carefully for a while.

Following the direction mentioned by the Lord of the Remnant Forest, she came to an abandoned courtyard. The faint resentment in the air made Zilan frown. Her eyes condensed, and several wandering souls were aimlessly wandering on the ruins. The moment he saw Zilan, excitement appeared on his numb face.

Looking at the wandering souls swarming towards this side, Zilan was worried that their resentment would have a bad impact on the Lord of the Remnant Forest. She walked up to the Lord of the Remnant Forest, with peach blossoms gathering in her palms, and a paper lantern appearing out of thin air. And now, the faint blue fireworks danced calmly, and the pink lily of the valley at the lamp handle swayed slightly, giving off a crisp echo.

"Don't hurt others, don't be restless, put down your resentments, and enter reincarnation."

The warning without a trace of emotion clearly fell into the silent ruins. The originally excited wandering souls calmed down one by one, and they looked at Zilan with lingering respect and fear in their eyes.

After seeing the wandering souls calm down so easily, Zilan turned the lantern in her hand into a peach blossom and took it back. She noticed that although these wandering souls were resentful, they did not have the smell of blood. They should have died innocently. The target is only the enemy.

After thinking about it, Zilan looked back and saw that the owner of the residual forest was surprised but did not hide his concern. She couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that the family members of the forest owner are such kind people like the forest owner. It's a pity... ..." It would be fine if he incurred the disaster of death, but due to his untimely death, he could not reincarnate smoothly. He could only wait for the moment of his enemy's death by guarding the ruins.

"What Zilan is talking about...my family?" The Lord of the Remnant Forest caught the key point in Zilan's words, and suddenly remembered that Zilan had said before that he could make the ghosts of the dead appear, and added The scene I just saw made me look forward to it: "I wonder if you can let me see them?"

"Ah, this won't work... The previous Yan Gui person was too obsessed with her, so that sister couldn't go to reincarnation. It can be said that there is a connection between them, so we can find a way to let them meet. "Zi Lan understands the expectation of the owner of the residual forest to see the wandering souls of his relatives, but the rules cannot be broken casually: "But the family members of the forest owner are different. The reason why they cannot be reincarnated is their hatred for their enemies, so... I There’s nothing we can do.”

The Lord of the Remnant Forest saw Zilan's embarrassment and apology. Although he didn't understand this aspect, he also knew that the different paths between humans and ghosts were not just talk, nor did he force it. He just murmured: "The hatred for the enemy ……"

Zilan realized that this topic was a bit heavy. She glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on a dilapidated pavilion pillar. She shifted her attention and asked, "That pillar seems to have characters engraved on it."

As he finished speaking, he had already walked under the pavilion pillar and read out clearly: "After crossing the sea for 20 years, the frost returned and the sword and lamp appeared." Can Lin came back to his senses for a moment, and his eyes fell on the inscription on the pavilion pillar. Sighing softly: "On this day every year, I always wait for a miracle, a person. As of tonight, it has been 20 years..."

Hearing this, Zi Lan subconsciously raised her hand and touched her waist, and said with certainty: "We will definitely find someone as good as the Lin Master this year. How can God be willing to disappoint the Lin Master?"

The Lord of the Remnant Forest accepted these words of comfort, then smiled and asked, "Would Zilan be willing to stay here with me for a while?" "Of course, but..." Zilan glanced at her completely. After calming down and staring at the wandering spirits of the Lord of the Remnant Forest, I had an idea in my mind: "Can I just stay here? After all, most of the Forest Lord's family members are here. Maybe the Forest Lord can see them after he falls asleep. ”

The Lord of the Remnant Forest regarded it as pure comfort, but still agreed. Zilan smiled, and there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Staring at the ruined former residence in front of him, the owner of the residual forest slowly relaxed physically and mentally, and the scene in front of him gradually blurred. At the moment before complete darkness, he could vaguely see the kind and still smiling faces of his late family members.

When I fell asleep, I seemed to smell a very faint fragrance of peach blossoms. The broken hair on my forehead was carefully pushed aside, leaving a gentle blessing:
"Good night, sweet dreams."

On the road, in the woods.

Mu Shaoai slowly smoked the hookah and spit it out slowly. His face still showed a lazy and relaxed look. Only when he looked at the people walking beside him, his face showed a little concentration.

Qiu Yu followed him expressionlessly, his originally soft lake-blue eyes now indifferent, without any emotion.Only when he was smoked by the water smoke that Mu Shaoai exhaled intentionally or unintentionally, would he turn his head slightly, look at the yellow bamboo pipe in the other person's hand with some displeasure, and slightly raise the folding fan in his hand to take aim.

"Ahem, oh, oh, oh, I couldn't hold it back for a moment, Qiu Yu, you can't break this pipe, this is my baby~"

Seeing Qiu Yu's intention, Mu Shaoai also knew that the other party had the temperament to do whatever he wanted, so he quickly apologized first, lest he would have to cry while holding two pipes.

Qiu Yu didn't care after hearing this, but the residual smell of smoke was still a bit choking. He opened the folding fan and waved it away. After the smell faded a bit, he said: "I remember that when I met you, you were not addicted to smoking. I only smoke it occasionally when things go wrong."

"Oh, this is not the case. When I was traveling around the mountains and rivers later, I met a few beauties who admired me, Medicine Master. They chased me day and night. This made me, Medicine Master, very worried about the charm I exuded. I got used to it without even realizing it. I never let go of my pipe."

Mu Shaoai pretended to be distressed and tapped his forehead with the pipe. Qiu Yu watched quietly from the side. His emotionless gaze made the usually heartless pharmacist a little unable to hold on, and he couldn't help but tap his forehead so fast. A little faster, until Qiu Yu asked: "Doesn't it hurt?"

Then I realized that the tobacco in the pipe was still burning. Although the body of the martial arts practitioner would not be injured, it was probably red.

He smiled awkwardly and was thinking about how to change the subject when a warm porcelain bottle was thrown in. Qiu Yu said lightly: "This can quickly remove the marks, but it can't remove the tattoos under your eyes. It can be used appropriately. "

Mu Shaoai looked at the indifference in the other person's eyes, and it was not difficult to see the worried inquiry hidden underneath, so he raised his eyebrows while applying the medicine and said with a smile: "This tattoo does not affect my charm, pharmacist, I am still attracting the past as before. The sight of beauty.”

Qiu Yu, who didn't get a satisfactory reply, frowned and sneered: "Maybe no beauty is attracted to her." "Ahem..." Looking at Qiu Yu, who choked when he was unhappy as before, Mu Shaoai said He didn't react yet, but he took the opportunity to ask: "Forget about me, Qiu Yu, your personality before was completely different from now. I don't know what happened to you. Do you need my help, pharmacist?"

Qiu Yu frowned inadvertently, and there was confusion in his indifferent tone: "My personality...hasn't it always been like this? When did it change? Have I ever changed?"

"..." Mu Shaoai looked at Qiu Yu's confused look and it didn't look like he was faking it. However, the gentle and polite Qiu Yu before did indeed exist. For a moment, he couldn't figure out whether he was pretending to be drunk or taking advantage of being drunk. Disguised.Mu Shaoai, who couldn't figure it out, took a sip of his water cigarette out of habit. When he looked up, he saw Qiu Yu staring expressionlessly at the pipe in his hand, and he had already picked up the folding fan.

"Ahem, Qiu Yu doesn't need to be so extreme. Hookah has the benefits of hookah. For example, it can make people forget their troubles for a while. Qiu Yu, you will know after you try it." Mu Shaoai said and put the pipe in front of Qiu Yu. , a gust of cold wind blew away the lit tobacco in an instant, but the remaining smoke inevitably hit his face, Qiu Yu looked disgusted.

"Two chain smokers."

"Uh, two?"

Who is the other one?No, what is the name of an old smoker?
Mu Shaoai was slightly embarrassed. Although he liked to call himself an old man, the title "Smoker" didn't suit his temperament. He decided not to tease Qiu Yu who had returned to his previous personality. This time he just put out the fire. Next time He might really have to break his precious pipe in two.

Mu Shaoai carefully put away the extinguished pipe and suggested going to the residual forest to take a look at the sword that had just been attached to his arm. He estimated that the owner of the residual forest would agree to his request.

Qiu Yu thought for a moment, and his drunken and somewhat confused mind gave his friend harmless instructions, so he nodded and agreed.

Ruins of former residence.

When there was a faint light on the horizon, the owner of the residual forest slowly woke up from the dream of family reunion. The lingering light peach fragrance lingered around him. When he opened his eyes, he saw a thin sheet composed of peach blossom petals. It was covered on his body.Although it is as light as a flying feather, it carries an indescribable warmth.

When the Lord of the Remaining Forest saw what was covering him, he immediately guessed who did it. Just as he was about to look up, an energetic girl's voice came from not far away: "Master of the Forest, you're awake. Last night. Did you sleep well?"

The Lord of the Remnant Forest followed the sound and saw that the girl in pink was sitting in front of a bonfire. She was carefully flipping the roasted rabbit meat with her gauze-wrapped palms. Her originally neatly tied hair was stained from nowhere. There were some weeds and fallen leaves on the hair, and the bangs in front of the eyebrows were wet with dew, sticking tightly between the white eyebrows. Below them were a pair of clean and clear eyes, looking in his direction with a hint of cunning unintentionally. blinked slightly.

"I stayed by the forest master's side last night to ensure that no one could disturb the forest master's rest." Zilan waved her hand to take back the peach blossoms on the residual forest master's body, and shook hands with a serious look on her face, quite a bit. He meant to take credit, but he accidentally pulled the wound on his hand, and his expression became stiff.

"What happened to Zilan's hand? Is it injured?" The Lord of the Remnant Forest originally planned to praise him, but he saw that Zilan's hand, which was fine yesterday, had been covered with thick gauze at some point, because There was a hint of bright red oozing out from the action just now.

"Ah, well, I was accidentally caught when I was catching rabbits in the morning. I have already been drugged, so the forest owner doesn't need to worry." Zilan took her hands behind her, the smile on her face was still the same, but she was a little more guilty.

The Lord of the Remnant Forest frowned. How could a wound that could be covered with so much gauze be a simple scratch?Thinking back to the human relations dream I had last night, coupled with Zilan's unusual methods, I felt a little bit calculating in my heart.

The sound of a wheelchair was approaching, and Zi Lan was worried that the Lord of the Remnant Forest wanted to see the wound on her hand. Just as she was thinking about how to hide the past, a gust of swords came quickly.

This was what Shentu Dongliu saw when he arrived. The expression on his face changed several times, and finally he asked unabashedly: "Did you take away the forest master quietly?"

The words contained murderous intent, but Zilan breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a matter-of-fact expression: "The forest owner doesn't want to disturb others, so of course he has to be brought out quietly."

"There is no power flowing in your body." Shentu Dongliu looked at her coldly. As if she didn't realize it, Zilan pulled off a roasted rabbit leg and handed it to the Lord of the Remnant Forest. The smile on his face did not change: "Yes, But can't people who don't know martial arts lead people away quietly? This idea is very dangerous."

Shentu Dongliu couldn't help but be startled. Seeing that there was a warning in and out of Zilan's words, the Lord of the Remnant Forest did not interrupt him. Seeing that the point had already been made, he said to smooth things over: "It's me. The request made by Zilan is not a bad person, and Dongliu does not need to be so wary."

Shentu Dongliu knew that he was in the wrong and did not continue to target him. Zilan was not the one who would hold on to it, so he pulled another rabbit leg and handed it over: "Big brother came all the way and didn't eat, right? Eat first." Order rabbit meat to pad your belly, that’s all I can do.”

"...Thank you." Seeing that the owner of the residual forest had taken a bite as a demonstration, Shentu Dongliu reached out to take it, looked up at the ruins in front of him, and thought: "Does the owner of the forest always firmly believe that he is still alive?" The Lord of the Forest smiled slightly and seemed to be in a good mood: "Since I was crossed by the divine feet across the sea, I must have followed this immortal master to live in seclusion in the mortal world and live in the world. A cultivator should also be indifferent to family affairs. , unlike the helpless Jianghu people who always look back and are attached to their families and loved ones and can’t let them go.”

Then he glanced at Zilan, who was eating rabbit meat while avoiding the wound, and asked, "Well, brother Bo Han, is there any news?" Shentu Dongliu told the truth: "The Deer King sent an oral message asking the forest owner to relax the deadline."

The Lord of the Remnant Forest nodded and said in a deep voice: "Tianqi and Shentan. When I entrusted Tianqi to Bo Hanbo to find suitable candidates, I guess he is also destined to these two artifacts." Shentu Dongliu asked: " Doesn’t the forest owner plan to take action?”

The Lord of Can Lin lowered his head and looked at his hands that were slightly stained with oil. He felt a lot more relaxed for some reason: "These hands are only stained with the blood of enemies." Shen Tu Dongliu disagreed: "A cruel life cannot avoid the cruelty of killing." Can Lin The Lord smiled slightly and said: "In the world of rivers and lakes, we can never let go of our paths! Let's go back to the residual forest. Zilan remembers to let me bandage the wound myself when we go back."

Zilan almost choked when she was suddenly called. She was about to find an excuse to refuse, but when she saw the noncommittal look on the face of the Lord of the Remnant Forest, she had no choice but to nod in agreement and make other plans after returning.

It would be great if her friends were here...
