Chapter 123
Li Ruoxian didn't feel sleepy either, so she put on her clothes and got out of bed, and took a walk in the small courtyard of the inn. The night was hazy, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.Li Ruoxian tightened her black cloak, leaned against the stone wall and looked up at the sky, with a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

Suddenly, the sound of rustling footsteps approached from far away, and a group of men in black covered their faces and climbed into the courtyard wall, and their shining swords shone bloodthirsty in the dark night.

At this time, Li Ruoxian was leaning against the wall and meditating, when she was suddenly dazzled by a bright light. Through the dim moonlight, Li Ruoxian could see that there were five people in the yard. Obviously those men in black didn't notice that she was standing there. In the corner, five men in black gathered together and made a gesture, then headed towards the guest room separately, only to disappear before Li Ruoxian's eyes in the blink of an eye.

Li Ruoxian's eyes flickered slightly. Rong Yu County did not go out in a ostentatious way. These people had a clear goal, and it seemed that they had been following them for a long time. The lack of action before was probably due to the presence of many princes from aristocratic families.

The last person in this world who doesn't want Rong Yu County alive is probably the current emperor.

Li Ruoxian was guessing, when he was slapped on the shoulder suddenly, his heart stopped for half a beat, and his back felt cold, Li Ruoxian shivered violently.

Li Ruoxian just turned his head and was covered by the other party. Rong Yujun's dark eyes were shining with starlight in the dark night. He made a gesture of silence, and after seeing Li Ruoxian nodded knowingly, he wrapped his arms around Li Ruoxian's delicate body. With a flash of his waist, he left the inn by flying over the eaves and walls.

Whoosh, whoosh, several figures followed Rong Yujun at a high speed, and from time to time, cold weapons blew past his ears like lightning. Even so, Rong Yujun was able to hug Li Ruoxian at the most critical moment. Dodge and dodge.

From the corner of his eyes, Li Ruoxian caught a glimpse of the black clothes chasing after him, and his movements were extremely strange, jumping from tree to tree like a night cat. His keen ears could distinguish the sound of long arrows being wound up not far away, and he looked at it pleasing to the eye. , the pupil suddenly shrinks.

"Be careful, there are hidden weapons in the southeast." Li Ruoxian whispered in Rong Yujun's ear.

Rong Yujun hummed and quickened his pace, but it was a bit strenuous for him to have Li Ruoxian who had no strength by his side.

The sound of footsteps behind her gradually receded, and Li Ruoxian felt the wind in her ears. She nestled in Rong Yujun's arms like a bird, and the trees under her feet kept going back. Jun hugged her tightly, wondering if she would break her leg if she fell from a two-meter-high treetop.

Thinking of the possible unexpected situation, Li Ruoxian was in a bad mood, so she could only hug Rong Yujun's waist tightly, for fear that the other party would throw away her oil bottle.

Looking at Li Ruoxian, who was tense in his arms, Rong Yujun smiled slightly, "Li Ruoxian, I don't know you well, but I'm afraid of death." This tone was very teasing.

Li Ruoxian rolled her eyes, but her tone could not be heard, "My lord is laughing. If I can choose to live a good life, I naturally don't want to die. After all, I still have concerns in this world."

The concern in Li Ruoxian's mouth is naturally Li Zhixuan, but it doesn't sound like that in Rongyu County, and he said in a cold tone: "The man in your heart... failed to save you when your life was at stake? You didn't Do you miss him so much?"

Li Ruoxian retorted, "Why do you say these things at such a moment? Duke, your words will misunderstand me."

Rong Yujun brought his lips close to Li Ruoxian's ear, as if he wanted her to hear his meaning more clearly, "Li Ruoxian, this king really loves you, and this king is determined to win, so you'd better give up , you can't get together with the person you like."

Li Ruoxian also gave a wry smile, "The person I like...even if I use up all my fate in several lifetimes, I still can't get to him..."

He is in Huangquan, she is in the human world, there are thousands of mountains and rivers between the two, and even if she becomes a ghost, she will not be able to get together with Yan Xingchen, otherwise, in the previous life, Yan Xingchen would not just send her to Naihe In front of the bridge, watching her reincarnate after drinking Mengpo soup.

Only then did Rong Yujun curl his lips in satisfaction, "You remember, it's best."

Li Ruoxian didn't say anything anymore, but when she thought of Yan Xingchen, her heart throbbed inexplicably. He seemed to be a brand on her body, and once she uncovered it, it hurt her heart.

They didn't know how long they had been running in the jungle. It wasn't until the sky gradually dawned that Li Ruoxian left Rong Yujun's arms until they stood in front of the gate of Jing'an Temple. The sudden standing made her a little uncomfortable, and her whole body shook. shake.

Rong Yujun quickly supported Li Ruoxian, "So weak? Li Ruoxian, you are really weak. No wonder there are 'ruo' and 'xian' in your name haha." He seemed to be in a good mood, maybe Because I heard what Li Ruoxian said last night.

Even after several lifetimes of fate, he still couldn't get to that person's side. It seems that he fell in love with someone who shouldn't be loved. It doesn't matter, he can wait, and she can slowly forget the person in his heart.

The door of the temple has been opened from the inside, and a little Shani in Taoist robes performed a Buddhist salute to Li Ruoxian and Rong Yujun, "Benefactor, the teacher has been waiting for you for a long time."

The light blue Taoist robes have already stepped out of the threshold. Wan Kong is about forty years old, with delicate features, perhaps because he has lived in the world for a long time and his body is not stained with a trace of common dust.

Li Ruoxian stepped forward to hold Wan Kong's hand, "Master, I'm here." Her voice was already cold, but Wan Kong could still hear Li Ruoxian's joy in her voice.

Master Wan Kong nodded, and then looked at Li Ruoxian. During the three years of mentoring and apprenticeship, Wan Kong had long regarded Li Ruoxian as his own child. He smiled and said: "Your letter has been received by the teacher, let's talk about it when you enter the house." Once again, he bowed to Rongyu County, "Your Majesty the King, welcome from a distance, please come inside."

Rong Yujun hummed, and walked into the temple first. The alley trees in the yard drifted with the wind with a few yellow leaves. Rong Yujun stepped on the fallen leaves and walked into a Zen room under the guidance of Wan Kong.

Li Ruoxian followed Rong Yujun, wondering in her heart: Just now, little Shani said that Master has been waiting for me and Rong Yujun for a long time, how does Master know that I am coming back today?
On the wall directly opposite the meditation room is hung a huge static character, with veils hanging down on both sides, a low table and a few square beddings in the middle, and three high-quality sandalwood sticks inserted in a tripod in the middle, with smoke curling up, and the short There are tea sets on the table.

Li Ruoxian and Rong Yujun sat across from Wan Kong. Wan Kong twirled the sandalwood beads in his hand, looked at Rong Yujun with a smile, and then looked at Li Ruoxian.

Li Ruoxian was uncomfortable with Wan Kong's scrutinizing gaze, Rong Yu County didn't shy away from anything, and let Wan Kong scrutinize him.

After a while, Wan Kong lowered his head and poured a cup of tea for Li Ruoxian and Rong Yujun, and said in a calm tone: "I was a teacher for the past two days, and I felt uneasy, thinking that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to go to the Marquis Mansion to meet you." See, but I didn't expect that yesterday, you were already on the way."

Rong Yujun smiled and said: "Master is really good at predicting things. I didn't expect Xianxian to be your apprentice." Rong Yujun naturally changed Li Ruoxian's name to "Xianxian" and stopped talking about the same name. with surname.

"Junwang's road is hard, I have ordered someone to prepare a high-class meditation room for the prince to rest." Wan Kong's meaning is obvious, she wants to chat with Li Ruoxian alone, and he, an outsider, is a bit of an eyesore.

Rong Yujun followed Wan Kong's wishes, "That's fine, I'm tired too, so I won't bother you two to reminisce about the old days." He got up and followed Xiao Shani out of the meditation room at the door.

Wan Kong looked at Rong Yujun's tall and straight back, and then at Li Ruoxian, a smile flashed in his eyes, "Xianxian, I think you two look very good together."

Li Ruoxian twitched the corner of her mouth unsteadily, "Master, don't make such a joke."

Wan Kong coughed dryly, feeling that it was not kind to tease his apprentice like this, so he changed the subject and asked: "Last time you wrote to me telling me that there was a ghost in the West Courtyard, did you save that ghost afterwards?"

Li Ruoxian changed the subject, "Master, I was cursed with blood by that ghost, and I'm looking for you to break it."

"Blood Curse?!" Wan Kong frowned, feeling Li Ruoxian's pulse, "Xianxian, it's a bit troublesome to undo the blood curse, but it's not impossible, it's just... how do you feel, Master, you still have something to hide?" As a teacher?"

Wan Kong was good at observing words and expressions. Seeing that Li Ruoxian's complexion was not good, and there was a trace of melancholy between his brows, he also guessed in his heart that this child was probably trapped by love, but this uncle would come to find him with Xianxian. She is rather interesting.

Li Ruoxian's face blushed unnaturally, and she said without concealing it: "Master, you always say to follow your heart, but I followed my heart, but lost my heart to a ghost. I can surpass everything, break through wind and rain, break through life and death, break through ethics and morality... But, I was afraid, timid, and thought that I could love regardless of the consequences, but I became more and more greedy, and the more I wanted, the more I wanted. It’s pain, I love him, but I can’t stay by his side, I can’t hold his hand, I can’t stay with him forever, the more I suffer when I think about it, Master, what should I do?”

Wan Kong patted Li Ruoxian on the shoulder, understanding what it meant to be in the eyes of the authorities. What Li Ruoxian struggled with was that Yan Xingchen was a ghost. He once thought that he could be reincarnated with Yan Xingchen when he died, but as memories slowly emerged, Only then did she realize that it wasn't that Yan Xingchen didn't want to reincarnate, but that he couldn't reincarnate at all.

Yan Xingchen gave her his life after life so that she could reincarnate from generation to generation, but he guarded the other side, guarded the west courtyard, and guarded her...

Only now did she understand the meaning of Yan Xingchen's words, "At the price of my immortality, I will protect your wealth, glory, health and longevity for the rest of your life, and keep your smile like a flower for three lifetimes..."

"Master, he said to keep me smiling like a flower for the third time, but I am not happy, because seeing my happiness is above the price he can never recover, he gave me life after life, but he guards the other shore, the west courtyard, and I, will never be reincarnated..." Li Ruoxian had already burst into tears, and the tears slid down her cheeks, hitting the back of her hand drop by drop, sliding down the back of her hand to her clothes, and a dark flower bloomed on it.

Wan Kong shook his head, he could only lament his infatuation and sentimentality, "Xianxian, you want to know why he used his own reincarnation to exchange your life after life?"
