Fast travel: The host is too crazy to shoot, the system can't stop it

Chapter 187 Rivers and Lakes (36) Threats

"Senior Medicine King," Ye Chen stepped forward to block Du Ruo's sight and bowed: "Old Xuan will naturally deal with him, but as for Nan Xu, let him stay away from there in the future. I will find a way."

Du Ruo looked at Ye Chen, his behavior was polite and decent, there was nothing to criticize.

Du Ruo smiled, and said: "Okay, do whatever you want, but if you are accidentally caught and eaten by Elder Xuan, I can't help it. After all, people like Elder Xuan can easily kill people without leaving any bones... ..."

"Master!" These words became more and more wrong, Chu Ruxue hurriedly interrupted him.

"It's just a joke," Du Ruo shrugged, glanced around and returned to Yan Nanxu, and said slowly, "Isn't this a funny joke?"

Yan Nanxu looked at him and finally said calmly: "Sorry, it's not funny."

"Okay," Du Ruo nodded, "I won't talk about it next time, anyway, you can figure it out."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the living room, ignoring everyone.

In the afternoon, the cicadas were singing, and it was hot and windless.

Zhong Fu was playing with Nian An in her arms. From time to time she looked up at Yan Nanxu, wanting to say something, but she couldn't say it.

Since Du Ruo's remarks in the morning, the atmosphere has been a little depressed, and everyone has been silent.

Ye Chen briefly chatted with Yan Nanxu for a while, and then went to study the Blood Cloud Strange Scroll. He seemed to be quite interested in the strange scroll these days, so he just wanted to kill time now.

Chu Ruxue was packing up her things, walking back and forth.

"Brother Immortal," Zhong Fu quietly approached after hesitation, and said softly, "What are you thinking?"

Yan Nanxu regained consciousness and looked at Zhong Fu, and said casually, "It's nothing."

"But you don't seem very happy."

"Fortunately."

These answers are polite and polite, but sometimes the politeness is too perfunctory and alienated.

However, Zhong Fu didn't care about this. Instead, she thought about Yan Nanxu's words carefully, and then said seriously: "Senior Yao Wang's words really make people unhappy, but in the final analysis, I feel that the task of 'saving the common people' is really It’s so outrageous, so outrageous that it feels unreal.”

This is a novelty, Yan Nanxu asked: "Why do you say that?"

"Because saving the common people has never been anyone's responsibility. No one has the obligation to take up this responsibility. If you are poor, you will be alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. But for the common people in this world, everyone's power is very small , the common people should not rely on a certain person to save them, that would be too difficult for a human being."

"So," Zhong Fu concluded in the end: "It's pointless to dwell on these things. What we should consider is what to eat tonight. Brother Immortal, do you have anything you want to eat?"

Zhong Fu's theory is really interesting, Yan Nanxu couldn't help laughing and said: "The topic jumps a bit quickly."

"No," Zhong Fu said without hesitation, "In short, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, but if you don't want to have a good meal, there will be no time to prepare dinner."

Yan Nanxu looked at the radiant Zhong Fu, nodded and said softly, "You're right."

After receiving an affirmative answer, Zhong Fu laughed even more happily, and the atmosphere relaxed a lot for a while, and she continued to chat with Yan Nanxu.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Ruxue came in from the outside carrying her things. Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room had melted a lot, she felt a little more relaxed, and took the initiative to say hello.

"Talking about what to eat tonight!" Zhong Fu replied immediately, then looked at what Chu Ruxue was holding, and asked curiously, "Sister Chu, what's in the basket? Vegetables?"

"No, don't eat it indiscriminately, there are herbs in it, just picked."

There is a courtyard here, and Du Ruo planted some commonly used herbs for easy picking.

"Wow, so fresh."

Zhong Fu approached the herbs to observe carefully, but the child she was holding was restless again, her arms were shaking around, and she accidentally knocked down the machete in the herbs basket. That knife was supposed to be used to cut the roots of the herbs. See It is quite sharp.

Yan Nanxu saw it by accident, and thought of something, suddenly paused, looked carefully again, and frowned slightly.

Chu Ruxue noticed his gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"How long have you been using that scimitar?"

The blade of the scimitar is smooth, sharp and beautiful, it should be a real weapon.

"This," Chu Ruxue said casually: "A long time ago, I used an ordinary sickle. Later, I don't know where the master found a scimitar. It's quite easy to use. Is there any problem?"

Yan Nanxu looked at the scimitar again, and finally shook his head slowly, without saying anything.

Chu Ruxue didn't care, and was ready to continue busying with the things in hand.But suddenly there was the sound of objects falling to the ground, followed by the sound of Zhong Fu tidying up in a hurry.

"Wow, Nian'an, don't move around anymore, you knocked something over."

A moderately large box was knocked to the ground, and some of the contents inside were spilled. It seemed that they were basically insignificant small objects.

Zhong Fu quickly squatted down to pick up the scattered things on the ground, and said as she picked up, "I'm sorry, Sister Chu, everything fell out..."

"Ah, no..." Before Chu Ruxue finished speaking, she turned her head and saw the overturned object. She was stunned for a moment, and when she realized it, she was so frightened that she immediately ran over, and then directly dug out something from the interlayer of the box, and checked it. There was nothing serious about it, so I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Chu?"

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as there is no problem with this thing, otherwise Master will definitely get angry."

Zhong Fu looked at the thing in Chu Ruxue's hand, it was a narrow and long small wooden box, which looked like a box for hairpins.

The woman's jewelry box successfully aroused Zhong Fu's curiosity, and she said softly, "Sister Chu, is there a hairpin inside? Could it be... Senior Yao Wang has a sweetheart?"

"It's indeed a hairpin. As for my sweetheart..." Chu Ruxue paused for a moment, then said mysteriously, "Based on my observations over the years, it's probably true."

The love stories of elders are easy to attract younger generations. Zhong Fu immediately moved closer and begged: "Sister Chu, do you know who it is? Can I have a look at the hairpin inside?"

Chu Ruxue said helplessly: "If only I knew who it was, it's fine if you want to see it, just be careful not to damage it."

Zhong Fu nodded quickly, handed the child to Chu Ruxue to hold first, then took the box, and opened it carefully──
The contents inside were completely exposed, and Zhong Fu frowned unconsciously: It seems that the gap is a bit bigger than what I imagined?
Before she opened it, she had imagined countless hairpin styles, gorgeous, elegant, simple, simple...every style could allow her to infer a poignant love story, but this hairpin in her hand...is really a bit strange.

"Is this colored glaze? It's so crystal clear, isn't there a red string in it? It's amazing, but..." But why is it so ugly?
Zhong Fu took a closer look at the hairpin, but she really didn't understand the aesthetics. She was about to take it back but was stopped suddenly.

Yan Nanxu didn't know when she came to her side, looking at the hairpin in the box with a complicated expression.

"Brother Immortal, do you want to have a look too?" Zhong Fu held the box over.

Yan Nanxu didn't take it, looked up at Chu Ruxue, and asked, "When did this thing get here?"

"It's been a long time, I've had it since I can remember, what's the matter?"

Yan Nanxu looked at the box in front of him, was silent for a while, and said softly, "This is not a hairpin."

This thing is actually quite common, but it should never appear in this world!

The breeze blew by, the sound of cicadas weakened a little, and the flowers and branches moved slightly, startling a few butterflies.

Du Ruo is concentrating on taking care of the flowers, and here he also planted a jasmine flower, which is different from the previous ones in the mountains, this time the flowers are full of colorful butterflies, which is fascinating.

Noticing the person behind him, Du Ruo glanced at it and continued to take care of the flowers, "What do you want to do here?"

Yan Nanxu came to a stop behind him, looked at the jasmine bush, and bowed, "I'm sorry to bother you, senior. I just suddenly remembered something and came to discuss it with you."

"Okay, tell me, I'm listening."

Yan Nanxu walked to the side of the flowers, looked at the white Jasmine and said slowly: "Five years ago, Ye Chen and I first met in an inn. The inn secretly intercepted and killed passers-by, and some of them were good at martial arts."

"Oh, it's not surprising that you have encountered a black shop." Du Ruo said casually.

"Yes, but when you think about it carefully, there are still doubts. Ordinary black shops will not drive out all the customers. After all, business still needs to be done, but that shop is very strange. It seems that they intend to keep none of them."

Du Ruo fiddled with the flowers and said, "Maybe they are the subordinates of Elder Xuan. Elder Xuan has been killing people to collect souls, and there are many people who listen to his orders."

"Impossible," Yan Nanxu said firmly, "At that time, almost all the guests went to Lingde Mountain Villa. Lingde Mountain Villa was originally set up by Mr. Xuan. Obviously, they can catch them all in the villa, and they can also get the Jingxin Dharma. With a refined soul, why is it necessary to stop someone halfway?"

"Then? What do you want to say?" Du Ruo seemed to be getting a little impatient.

Yan Nanxu's complexion did not change, and he continued: "Today, I saw the scimitar you used for picking medicine, senior. To be honest, there are not many people using scimitars in the world, and there are few forged ones. Coincidentally, the waiter in the inn used it. It's the scimitar."

Du Ruo suddenly laughed out loud, and said, "So you doubt me? Just relying on these theories that are all based on guesswork, and you have no evidence to question me with your sword, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Yan Nanxu came here with a sword, and it seemed that he came with bad intentions.

"It's really wrong to rely on these alone," Yan Nanxu said bluntly: "But I saw another thing later."

Then, in front of Du Ruo, Yan Nanxu took out the "hairpin" just now, met Du Ruo's gaze, and said softly: "This thing must have been given to you by someone else, and that person didn't have time to explain it. Useful, make you mistakenly think it is a hairpin..."

Yan Nanxu held the tip of the thing, and the red thread inside immediately became longer, rose to a certain height and then stopped slowly.

"This is not a hairpin, this is a mercury thermometer for measuring temperature."

There is even a scale on this thermometer, which should be a modern thing, not something that should exist in this world.

Du Ruo looked at the rising red line, was stunned, and murmured: "Let me tell you, she said she wanted to give me something very useful, how can she give me a hairpin? It turns out, it turns out..." Du Ruo raised his eyes and looked towards Yan Nanxu said softly, "You and her come from the same place."

"The person you mentioned was killed by Elder Xuan, so you have repeatedly emphasized that we went to kill Elder Xuan to avenge her."

Du Ruo didn't know how many souls Elder Xuan needed. The so-called destruction of the world was indeed nonsense, because his sweetheart was the previous traveler, the one who was devoured by Elder Xuan!
And the matter of the inn was also explained. Those people were actually ordered by Du Ruo to kill the people who went to Lingde Mountain Villa, so as to interfere with Xuanlao's soul collection.

Du Ruo was silent for a while, and then said incoherently: "I actually developed that flower specially for her. She was poisoned by Xuangu, and I wanted to detoxify her, but unfortunately, the maturity of the flower is too late. It's been a long time, she didn't wait until then."

Xuan Gu's poison is overbearing and weird, and no one has ever been able to decipher it. Du Ruo was able to clear Yan Nanxu's poison within a few days because he had started researching this poison decades ago.

"Do you know? I watched her die," Du Ruo seemed to be trapped in some kind of memory, his eyes became blank, "I watched that ghost eat her! But I can't help it! I can't help it! "

Du Ruo took a deep breath, desperately suppressed his emotions, and said coldly: "I will definitely make that ghost die ugly."

"You just want revenge. You can't kill Elder Xuan, so why do you think we can? Or just let us die?"

"No, you can, only you can."

After hearing this, Yan Nanxu frowned slightly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Du Ruo stared at the person in front of him, and said word by word: "My poison can kill Elder Xuan, but the problem is that I can't let the poison enter into Elder Xuan's body without knowing it. Once he is prepared, he will fail... "

"Then I found you. You are his carefully cultivated medicinal material. He will definitely eat you. He will eat you without warning and seriously."

"...You poisoned me and asked me to kill him?"

Du Ruo said softly: "This is our only way."

"This is your way!" Yan Nanxu suddenly raised his voice, with a hint of anger, "I didn't ask me at all and made my own way!"

Du Ruo never thought of discussing this matter with Yan Nanxu, and never asked his wishes, never!

Sensing the hatred in Yan Nanxu's eyes, Du Ruo paused, and then immediately said: "If you don't go, you will die, the poison is too strong, and your bones will be melted in a month or so!"

"Don't worry about it, I'll die myself before that!"

The task is just to let Ye Chen cultivate the Blood Cloud Curse, the task has been completed, then go straight away, he is incompetent, anyway, he has no way to be good at this world!
Du Ruo was probably in a hurry, so he hurriedly took another step forward, and said in a deep voice, "With my ability, do you think it's too easy for me to poison everyone in this courtyard quietly?"

Yan Nanxu paused, and the long sword in his hand came out of the sheath, and the sharp blade reached Du Ruo's chest in a flash of light!
"Or in other words, the poison has already been placed."

The blade finally stopped at the heart, and did not advance half a point...
