Sealing Sword

It began to rain again.

Xiu'er walked in front, and went straight to the back of the house. This place is backed by a cliff, and the slope is very slanted. It is very dangerous to walk, and there are gravels rolling down from time to time. Poe rolled down, and when he stabilized, he would at least break a leg.

Chu Xiwei walked behind Xiu'er with a gloomy expression. She looked like a ghost crawling out of the underworld. From her hair to her toenails, she had the aura of "irritated, don't bother ghosts and gods".Qin Lanshang is currently "wearing a sinful body", and dare not get too close to him, so she walks beside Lu Mingyuan with a full face of complaints, and from time to time flings a knife to Ruan Feiyu, who is calm and self-sufficient, fortunately, the old man doesn't care about her, I just carefully rolled up an old book in my hand and put it away carefully.

The first time Qin Lanshang saw Ruan Feiyu in the carriage was this book in his hand, but at that time he glanced at it hastily, only to see that the book was unsealed and untitled, and he couldn't read anything inside.Seeing him being so careful now, Qin Lanshang couldn't help being a little curious, and tilted his neck to take a peek, but Lu Mingyuan blocked his sight with one hand.

The dull scholar started chattering again, and whispered to her: "It's rude to peep at other people's things."

Qin Lanshang was almost out of temper by him.

Ye Fusheng looked amused, he was walking slowly with his hands behind his back, walking leisurely on the Yangchang mountain road like a stroll in a courtyard, it seemed extremely casual, but in fact, he was aware of all the disturbances around him.

There is indeed no ambush on this road, and the most dangerous thing encountered on the road was that Lu Shusheng accidentally stepped on a snake. He tied a colorful bow and threw it far away.

After trekking on the rugged mountain road for a whole night, the faces of all the people who had been running around for days showed fatigue, not to mention that there were still Lu Mingyuan and Chu Xiwei with unhealed injuries.Lu Mingyuan's pale face was covered with sweat, but Chu Xiwei remained calm, only Ye Fusheng saw that his footsteps slowed down a little, and his footprints gradually appeared on the ground.

He and Chu Xiwei practiced Xia Feibu, walking silently and landing without a trace, which can be described as the realm of "treading on the snow to find red plums, and not touching clothes in the evening rain", allowing Chu Xiwei to leave footprints on this land, It can only show that he is really tired.

There were too many people in the broken house before, so I didn't take the opportunity to ask him how his injury was.

When Chu Xi was young, Ye Fusheng bullied him a lot, he only thought it was a great pleasure to tease the children to blow their hairs and howl.As a result, at this moment, Chu Xi remained calm, and instead of being wronged and sad, Ye Fusheng felt distressed belatedly.

Fortunately, not long after, Xiu'er led them around the corner and all the way down. After a while, the road under their feet became wider, and their eyes gradually opened up.

They went all the way down the mountain to the valley below the mountain.

Qin Lanshang was tired and thirsty, and had wanted to sit down and take root for a long time, but when he saw the flat ground, he immediately collapsed on the withered grass, only to jump up suddenly after a while.

Chu Xiwei turned her head back and said coldly, "What are you making such a fuss about?"

Qin Lanshang's face was pale, and she was used to seeing this girl's eccentric appearance, so her terrified appearance attracted all the more attention. She pointed at the place where she was sitting just now with her scabbard, and said, "There are... …one hand."

"Hand?" Lu Mingyuan was stunned, bent down to push away the foot-long weeds, and indeed saw a severed hand, half-rotten, with uneven fractures, as if bitten off by a wild animal.

Looking again, although this open space is spacious, there is a dense forest not far away, and there is a mess nearby covered under the grass, full of wreckage, birds, beasts, humans and insects, most of them are incomplete, presumably they were caught by wild animals go.

The place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the wind is hard to get out, so there is a bad smell in the air, but now it is raining, which slightly suppresses the smell, but it’s okay if I didn’t notice it before, once you feel it with your heart, the stench is hard to bear Tolerate, smell it and want to vomit.

Chu Xiwei was a bit obsessed with cleanliness, and immediately covered her nose with her sleeve, her face was so ugly that she was worse than dead. He turned to look at Xiu'er, only to see that the little girl had fallen down at some point, and a man was standing beside her.

"I knew this little girl was unreliable. I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I squatted here and waited. I didn't expect... to wait for you."

The man was in his 40s and was very fat. He was so fat that he was wrapped in mink fur, as if he had wrapped a meat ball with a layer of skin. One could not help but wonder whether he walked with his feet or just rolled when he walked.

But such a short and fat man held a seven-foot long halberd in his hand, which weighed at least a hundred catties. A string of golden bells was also tied, and the wind blew crisply, reverberating in this open space, like a young phoenix's first cry, but it brought chills for no reason.

As soon as the bell rang, Ruan Feiyu, who had been sluggish all this time, opened his eyes and looked over intently. His eyes swept over the halberd and finally landed on the fat man's face. He smiled slightly: "What's your surname?"

The man spoke very kindly: "Don't dare to be the one, so what's your surname?"

Ye Fusheng and the others frowned, and Ruan Feiyu asked, "The 'he' from the Qin Army's Pioneer Battalion?"

Boss He beamed: "That's my elder brother, whose bones have been buried here for more than 30 years. Does Prime Minister Ruan want to see him?"

Ruan Feiyu bowed to the wasteland where the bones were buried, and said: "Back then, Xiaowei He used the Fengming Ji to fight across the three armies. Except for Qin Gong's Dragon Locking Spear, no one in the army could compare with it. It's a pity that this old man is here Chaotang, there is no chance to see you."

As soon as the word "Locking Dragon Spear" came out, Qin Lanshang's face changed drastically, and Chu Xiwei turned her head as if she had eyes growing behind her back. She was as cold as a blade, which made her dare not act rashly anymore.

Boss He said with a smile: "Ms. Ruan's regrets will come to an end today. Although He is not good, at least he has inherited a bit of family education. Although he has no elder brother's ability, he should not be able to insult Mingfeng's name."

"This is a good place to bury bones." Ruan Feiyu glanced around lightly, "I forgot...that path leads here."

"Ruan Xiang is a noble man, and after so many years, how can he know this mountain and wild place so well?" Boss He raised his head, "34 years ago, there was a flood in Anxi Mountain. After being weak, it leaked into this place through the gap, except for engulfing two small villages that had already been vacated, it did not harm the surrounding area, except... At that time, none of the more than 3000 Qin family troops passing by when returning to Beijing was spared. Xiang Ruan, what in the world? How could such a coincidence happen?"

Everyone was startled, Qin Lanshang figured out something in the blink of an eye, his eyes quickly swept across the land where countless bones were buried, his expression changed from shock to fury, and when he looked at Ruan Feiyu again, his eyes were almost Already dripping blood.

Ruan Feiyu didn't seem to care that his back was being sieved by the gaze, he just looked at Boss He and said, "I remember, the two men who led the troops back to Beijing that year were the military advisor Zhou Xi, and the other was your brother He Chong." .”

Boss He said: "Ruan Xiang has a good memory. Back then, you took advantage of the heavy rain and the terrain to figure out the right direction to blow up the hillside when the sergeant passed by here, causing the flood to swallow up three thousand lives... Do you really think about this matter?" Do you not recognize it?"

Ruan Feiyu was daring, without hesitation, and said with a slight smile, "I did it, I dare not shirk it."

"Since Ruan Xiang has admitted it, it's easy to handle." Boss He blew the phoenix halberd in his hand, and at that moment he looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Huang Tian is above, and the earth is below. All the heroic spirits will bear witness to me. This matter has its own vengeance, and it will not tire others, and you have nothing to do with it, so please go."

Lu Mingyuan spoke first. He bowed to the land, and then saluted Boss He: "I will be a teacher for one day and a father for the rest of my life. If the teacher is guilty, he should be punished together; if the teacher is in trouble, he should bear the same responsibility, so he dare not go." .”

Ye Fusheng turned his head to look at Ruan Feiyu, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ruan, it's not like before. If you don't change your mind, there's nothing I can do."

He was referring to Ruan Feiyu's plan to let the remnants of these old cases go. If Ruan Feiyu insisted on doing so, it would be difficult for even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu to protect him through this test without being killed or injured.

Ruan Feiyu straightened his sleeves, and said slowly: "Since it's the old man's grievance, the three of you have been able to protect me until now. Please go."

Chu Xiwei didn't open his mouth, the air here was too smelly, taking a breath was like swallowing a piece of rotten meat, his face was already so ugly that he would be at odds with this land, he didn't even bother to say a word.Hearing this, he didn't even bother to say a word on the scene, he let out an "um" from his nose, grabbed Qin Lanshang and was about to turn around and leave.

However, Qin Lanshang, who had been afraid to move under his hand, broke away suddenly, looked up into his eyes, pressed the hilt of the sword with one hand, and said, "Uncle, I won't go."

Chu Xi said in a slightly cold voice: "Aren't you messing around enough?"

"I'm not fooling around." Qin Lanshang turned her head, her eyes swept over Ruan Feiyu and Lu Mingyuan, and finally fixed on the Mingfeng halberd in Boss He's hand, "I... just feel that I can't leave now."

Ye Fusheng, as an outsider, naturally couldn't intervene in such a situation. Chu Xiwei's expression became even colder, and he said, "When you walk in the rivers and lakes, you should know how to advance and retreat, don't you understand?"

"Some things, if you retreat now, there is no way to retreat in the future." Qin Lanshang was not afraid of him this time, staring at Chu Xiwei's condensed eyes, and paused every word, "Uncle, you told me of."

Chu Xiwei raised her hand to give her a slap.

Lu Mingyuan's expression changed, and he was about to step forward to stop him as soon as he lifted his footsteps, but Ruan Feiyu grabbed him with one hand, and cast his gaze at the gentle old man, sending a chill down his spine.

The family knew their own affairs, and Qin Lanshang knew from an early age that in the eyes of her uncle, there was no difference between men and women, so there was never a rule of "good men don't fight with women".So when she talked back, she was ready to be beaten like a pig and dog, and now she closed her eyes with ease.

However, the slap didn't land on her face.

"Ah Yao, it's not a big deal for a child to talk back, why bother?" Ye Fusheng grabbed Chu Xiwei's wrist with one hand, and Chu Xiwei glanced at him, but didn't break away.

Ye Fusheng turned his head to look at Qin Lanshang, still smiling, but his tone was a little more solemn: "Girl, if you want to stay, you have to take care of all the consequences yourself, and you won't regret it."

Qin Lanshang stared at him blankly, then nodded after a while.

Chu Xi frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. She coldly glanced at everyone present and walked away.

"Everyone, we'll meet later." Ye Fusheng smiled, bowed his hands, and left with Chu Xiwei.

Boss He didn't interrupt them until he saw the figures of the two people in the distance, then he looked away, threw the Mingfeng Halberd heavily on the ground, and smiled at Ruan Feiyu, "I've heard for a long time that Mr. One of the eight masters, I will ask for advice today."

Ruan Feiyu didn't answer, but Lu Mingyuan took a step forward. The scholar was young and somewhat pedantic and shy. He pulled out a white paper fan from his sleeve and put it in his palm. Please fight first."
