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

Chapter 188 Preparations for Rivers and Lakes (37)

With the wind blowing, the branches and leaves rubbed against each other to make a small sound, and the cicadas chirped again and again, making this afternoon extremely noisy.

The blade was almost clinging to Du Ruo's heart, as long as he took a step forward, there would be a bloody scene.

But at this moment, Yan Nanxu did not enter, and Du Ruo did not hide. Both sides remained in a stalemate and made no move.

"The child is only five months old. His parents must hope that the child can grow up happily."

Du Ruo looked into Yan Nanxu's eyes and said softly, in a tone similar to emotion.

Yan Nanxu's eyes became colder, the hand holding the sword became stronger, and the blade moved forward slightly.

Du Ruo could already feel the stabbing pain in his heart, but he still didn't move, his expression was indifferent.

In the end, the saber was still retracted, Yan Nanxu's face was ugly, and he glanced at Du Ruo again, without saying anything, he turned around and prepared to leave.

To a certain extent, Yan Nanxu's action means that Du Ruo's plan has been more than half successful, but this time, seeing the figure of the person leaving, after repeated silence, Du Ruo suddenly said: "If you have other requests, you can mention it to me."

Du Ruo didn't know what kind of mentality he had in saying this, compensation?Atonement?Or just to comfort yourself?
But no matter what, it's meaningless. In fact, Du Ruo himself knows that these things are meaningless at all.

Yan Nanxu paused when he heard his words, and said coldly, "Please die."

After that, regardless of Du Ruo's reaction, he left the courtyard.

This answer made Du Ruo stunned for a while, but it was not particularly surprising. After all, it had come to this point, and it was considered a very "reasonable" request.

The afternoon sun was scorching hot, Du Ruo suddenly felt something trickle out of his face, he subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch it, and it turned out to be blood.

Blood continued to flow from his nose, Du Ruo didn't panic, but looked a little irritable, and stopped the blood with his sleeve.

Immediately afterwards, he seemed a little dizzy, and suddenly lost his footing and fell to his knees among the flowers.

Fresh blood dripped on the nearby flowers, and the pure white jasmine was dyed blood red, inexplicably becoming a little scary and hideous.

At this moment Du Ruo became flustered, and frantically stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood, but he couldn't clean it up anyway, and the flowers were glaring and scarlet, not the same as before.

Du Ruo stared blankly at the bloody jasmine in front of him, put his hand on the flower, lowered his head deeply, and said hoarsely: "I'm sorry..."

The courtyard is located in the countryside, with a plain outside. From a distance, you can see endless blue colors for thousands of miles.

Yan Nanxu left the courtyard and did not return to the living room. Instead, she left the other courtyard and sat alone by the fence outside the house.

"Host, maybe Du Ruo is just scaring people, we..."

"He didn't scare anyone." Yan Nanxu interrupted the system directly. From the moment he poisoned him, Du Ruo never thought about looking back.

The system was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "Host, let's go back."

"Go back..." Yan Nanxu muttered to himself, "Yes, it's time to go back..."

At this moment, something suddenly came from the corner of the wall. Yan Nanxu was stunned for a moment. The next moment, the long sword reached the corner of the wall, and the blade hit the figure behind!

However, the saber deflected at the last moment and pierced fiercely into the wall beside the figure.

"It's you? Why are you here?"

The person in front of her was Zhong Fu. She didn't know when she was hiding here. She didn't look afraid when she saw Yan Nanxu attacking her just now. Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

Yan Nanxu subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Fu bit her lip and didn't answer, she seemed to be trying her best to suppress her emotions, but she couldn't, she suddenly stepped forward and hugged Yan Nanxu, and then burst into tears.

Yan Nanxu couldn't see Zhong Fu's expression, but only knew that the little girl was crying very sadly and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Nanxu slowly reached out and patted her on the back, which was a comfort, silent comfort.

Zhong Fu felt the touch on her back, and felt even more sad and upset in her heart, but she still tried her best to stop sobbing and breathe hard to calm her heartbeat quickly.

She heard it, she heard the conversation between Du Ruo and Yan Nanxu, some things she might not understand, but most of them did.

After finally stopping her tears, Zhong Fu cried a little dizzily, let go of the person she was holding and stood still.

"Brother God, Immortal," Zhong Fu sniffed, pretending to be relaxed, "Let's go, the scenery here is not good, and the food is not good, let's go to another place."

Yan Nanxu guessed that she probably heard something, but she didn't point it out and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know, but it must be a beautiful place. The sun is always shining and the flowers are in full bloom. Let's go together, together..." Zhong Fu lowered her voice a little, and facing Yan Nanxu's calm eyes, she said in a vigorous voice: "We You can die there together, I heard that Huangquan Road is very eerie, I have been afraid since I was a child, but there is no need to be afraid if we walk together."

Since everyone has been poisoned, find a good place to sleep forever, and never go to Xuangu anyway.

The little girl talked about death very lightly, as if it wasn't something terrible, just a spring outing.

Yan Nanxu smiled helplessly.

Zhong Fu grabbed his hand and continued: "Brother Immortal, saving the common people is really a thankless task. Whoever wants to do it, let's go."

"I didn't want to save the common people." Yan Nanxu helped Zhong Fu cut her hair. She was crying so hard just now that she couldn't breathe, and she still looked out of breath at this moment.

"But don't say that. You still have a long way to go."

Zhong Fu was taken aback, and immediately said: "No, I've come a long way, I..."

Yan Nanxu then continued, "You still have to go on, a longer way."

Zhong Fu was silent for a while and asked: "What about you? You went to pave the way for us, and what happens next?"

"Then I'll go home."

"Go home?" Zhong Fu was a little surprised by this answer.

"Yes, I've been away for a long time, it's time to go home."

Zhong Fu pursed her lips, and said again: "Then can't we go back now?"

Yan Nanxu couldn't help looking past Zhong Fu to the plain, the breeze was blowing, the blue waves were swaying, the vegetation was verdant, shining brightly in the sun, it was a scene full of vitality.

"I hope that your road ahead will be bright and sunny when I leave, so that every time I am happy for the beautiful scenery at home, I can imagine that you have the same mood at a certain moment. I hope you have a future, otherwise I will stay An irreparable regret.”

Saving the common people is indeed an outrageous task, but the person and thing that I care about is also one of the mortal beings.

In the evening, the sun sets in the west.

Du Ruo didn't go back to the house, just stood there in a daze among the flowers, Chu Ruxue yelled several times but didn't respond.

Ye Chen studied the Blood Cloud Curse all afternoon and gained a lot. He was excited to discuss with Yan Nanxu and happened to meet Zhong Fu.

"What's wrong with you? It doesn't feel right?" Ye Chen looked at Zhong Fu and asked.

Zhong Fu's complexion was not very good, she raised her eyes to look at Ye Chen, and remained silent.

Ye Chen was puzzled, and wanted to ask something more, but Yan Nanxu suddenly called him over, saying that he wanted to discuss something.

Ye Chen responded first, patted Zhong Fu and said, "You don't seem to be very happy. I'll be over later. If you have anything, you can tell me." Then he left first.

"How is your research on Blood Cloud Strange Scroll?" Yan Nanxu asked straight to the point.

Ye Chen immediately said: "It's quite amazing, I think it's quite easy to understand, I've read most of it, and it's just a matter of practice."

Whether a person can practice top-level skills well depends on his talent and chance, and Ye Chen is the protagonist, this blood cloud and strange scroll can almost be said to be tailor-made for him, and only he can truly play its fullest role.

Yan Nanxu nodded, "Then I'll give you a chance to practice it."

"what chance?"

"I need you to help me attract the attention of various forces in the world."

Ye Chen froze for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "What are you going to do?"

Yan Nanxu said slowly: "I want to go to Xuan Valley, where there is something that can kill Mr. Xuan."

After systematic analysis, in order to truly kill Mr. Xuan, it is not enough to let him die physically. When Mr. Xuan reaches that state, his soul is also a big threat, and Yan Nanxu may not be able to deal with it.

Therefore, Yan Nanxu thought of the souls that Elder Xuan had collected before. According to the system, souls would retain a certain amount of consciousness. They would feel danger, and would become hostile to Elder Xuan who had refined them before and attack them.

So can those souls be used to kill Elder Xuan?
The system's conclusion to this was "yes", but it also stated that those souls with confused consciousness were likely to carry out indiscriminate attacks.

"Host, do you want to go?"

"Yes." It had nothing to do with Du Ruo's threat, but his own wish.

"Okay," the system didn't persuade, but calmly said: "I will do my best to eliminate the interference of the soul."

It was Yan Nanxu's wish, and the system tried its best to help.

Ye Chen frowned slightly after hearing this answer, and asked: "Do you have to go to Xuangu? I'll go with you."

"No," Yan Nanxu directly vetoed, "You're going to stop people from the big families. You can't let your cousin deal with them."

"Then..." Ye Chen paused, "Then when will I find you?"

"Don't look for me, after everything is done, I'll go home."

"Home?" Ye Chen asked subconsciously: "Where is your home? I can take you back."

Yan Nanxu looked at him, and then said: "I can only walk the way home alone, otherwise I won't be able to go back."

Ye Chen didn't reply and was silent for a while.

Yan Nanxu seemed to sigh, and her tone eased, "I really want to go back."

Ye Chen pursed his lips and asked, "Then can I visit you later?"

"Sorry, no." Yan Nanxu replied very decisively, not to be questioned.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and finally Ye Chen lost the battle. He scratched his hair, his face was a little dazed and a little irritable, his brows were furrowed, he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I..." Ye Chen was a little incoherent, "I feel, I don't know, Nan Xu, I don't know, is this right? Should I do this?"

Yan Nanxu asked back: "Then do you believe me?"

Hearing this sentence, Ye Chen was stunned, and the panic in his eyes seemed to be calmed down when he looked at Shangyan Nanxu, he forced a smile and said: "But it's so unlucky, I haven't bought a bamboo hat yet, I feel like I'm with you Your bamboo hat really doesn't match... Also, there is that peach grove, all the flowers are gone, and the fruit will be fully grown this month, so there are no flowers at all... Really, it's unlucky..."

Ye Chen smiled, but the smile was too ugly, as if he was about to cry.

Yan Nanxu comforted, "The flowers will bloom again next year."

But it's just that the flowers are similar every year, and people are different every year.

After making arrangements for Ye Chen, Yan Nanxu went to find Chu Ruxue.

"You...you want me to blow up Xuangu in the end?" Chu Ruxue couldn't believe what she just heard.

"Yes," Yan Nanxu said calmly: "Although gunpowder is a forbidden product, there are privately owned by Jianghu merchants. Xuangu is originally a valley, and a mountain will have a weak point. I will find that place. You just need to help I light it at the appointed time."

Chu Ruxue was stunned, and asked, "When?"

"An hour after I go in."

"One hour? Is there no other reference? It's safer for you to come out and give me a signal."

"No," Yan Nanxu said directly: "Ignite after an hour, don't delay or advance."

Chu Ruxue was silent for a long time, and finally asked softly, "Why me?"

"Because you are sensible and brave."

Yan Nanxu knew that neither Ye Chen nor Zhong Fu could complete this task. Only Chu Ruxue, just like when she was in Lingde Villa, was not ruthless, but absolutely rational and dared to bear unknown consequences.

Yan Nanxu finally took a deep breath and begged, "Please."
