Sick Beauty [Rebirth]

The sun shines on Jinbo, and the waves are churning.

On this day, a special guest came to the busy Tongzhou Ferry.

Zhu Xiaodu looked at the person in front of him.

He was tall and slender, dressed in black, carrying a long sword, and wearing a bronze ghost mask, standing alone by the ferry.

That mask glowed with a cold light, and it looked very infiltrating.

Zhu Xiaodu is busy at the ferry every day, and has seen all kinds of people, and it's not like he hasn't seen people who look weirder than the one in front of him.

Zhu Xiaodu has a little cultivation, he can clearly see the "Qi" on people's bodies, and the person in front of him has no Qi, so it can be seen that he is not a monk.

It's not a monk, but it makes him feel more dangerous than he meets the disciples of those sects.

He seemed to see? A sword.

A sharp sword piercing through the underworld, cold and dense.

"Guest officer, do you want to board the ship?" Zhu Xiaodu asked.

The ghost-masked man nodded slightly.

"Where are you going?"

The ghost-masked man replied: "Northern Territory, Cangzhou."

His voice was different from his appearance, it was as cold as broken jade hitting a stone, very pleasant to hear.

The chill in Zhu Xiaodu's heart withdrew a little.

"Beiyu is far away, and the boat fare is a little expensive." He said cautiously.

"How many."

"Either ten taels of gold, or three medium-grade spirit stones." Zhu Xiaodu paused, and then said, "For monks above the foundation establishment stage, two medium-grade spirit stones. If the golden core stage is above, the boat fee can be waived." However, if the sea ship is attacked by sea beasts, the monks in the foundation stage need to help resist together."

He was a little worried.

The difference in shipping costs between monks and mortals is the rule of seagoing ships at the same continent ferry.But there are always those who disdain the rules.

The mortal warriors, those with infinite strength, can even compare with the monks who practice Qi? Establish a foundation, and there are many swordsmen with weird temperaments, who have practiced swordsmanship to the extreme, and a sword can kill a monk.

And capable people generally don't obey the rules.

He was afraid that the Ghost Mask was such a person.

Because it does look alike.

Unexpectedly, the ghost-faced man didn't reply, but just took out three middle-grade spirit stones from his sleeve and put them in his hands.

is put.

Did not throw.

Zhu Xiaodu hurriedly reached out to catch it, and then realized that the ghost-masked man's hands are very beautiful.

The knuckles are slender, slender and pale, like a half-bloomed lotus.

Suddenly Zhu Xiaodu couldn't help being curious about the face under that bronze ghost face.

He led the people onto the boat.The resting place for mortals is not as comfortable and luxurious as that of monks, it is very narrow. A wooden bed and a window are the resting place for the next seven days.

Zhu Xiaodu was afraid that the ghost-masked man would be dissatisfied, and was about to explain the difficulty of carrying people on sea ships, but unexpectedly the other party just nodded, and walked in with his sword in his arms.

Let go of the burden, sit on the edge of the bed, and quietly look sideways? The waves outside the window seem to be able to sit forever.

Zhu Xiaodu thought for a while, and then said: "The sea is boring, and the guests can go to the deck to enjoy the wind. There are restaurants and wine bars in the cabin. If the guests are tired of dry food, they can go there for dinner on weekdays."

The ghost-faced man said: "Okay."

It was still the cold voice, Zhu Xiaodu's ears were crisp when he heard it, and he quickly closed the door gently.

Ye Yunlan took off the mask.

The sea breeze was salty, blowing on his face, his complexion was almost transparent and pale under the sun.

Half a day later, the sea ship started to sail, and the land gradually became far away in the field of vision.

From Dongzhou to Beiyu, it takes seven days to travel by sea.

At night, the cabin was full of voices.

There are two floors in the large cabin, and there are many wooden tables.

The spirits make the atmosphere hot. If you don't look carefully at the waves rolling outside the window and feel the waves rising and falling on the hull, you will feel like walking into a tavern and restaurant at night.

Ye Yunlan's body is not suitable for drinking.

But he still ordered wine and looked at the plate. The boiled beef was quite bland, and he started to eat slowly with bamboo chopsticks.

Because of eating, he didn't wear a mask, but put the hood on the black robe to cover half of his face to reduce some troubles.

The way he ate was completely different from the way the surrounding Haikes ate meat and drank.

Chewing very slowly, like a little girl's house, there is a whole jug of wine next to her, and she only pours a glass occasionally.

A huge crew member next to him poured a jar of wine, looked at him not far away, sneered a few times, and said to the people next to him.

"Now that anyone dares to cross the far sea, don't be frightened by sea beasts in the future."

Ye Yunlan just lowered his head to eat, as if he hadn't heard anything.

There is a clear distinction between monks and ordinary people in the cabin, ordinary people sit on the bottom floor, and monks sit on the second floor.The monk speaks full of air, and from time to time there is a voice of high-spirited talk, which can be heard from upstairs.

"Several comrades are also going to the Northern Territory this time?"

"This is natural! Everyone must have read the list of mysteries in the Xuanji Building. It said that there is a great opportunity in the Northern Territory, which is related to the life of this world, and there is even a chance to become a fairy. I wait for the monks to practice every day and break through the realm, isn't it just Fight for some lives for yourself? Now that this opportunity has come, how can I miss it."

"Fellow Daoist? What you say is the ultimate. Heaven and earth have no limits, but life has an end. If you can become a fairy, you can live with the sun and the moon. What a happy life! Haha, fellow Daoist, come and have a drink!"

The sound of wine jars colliding heated up.

Cultivation and asking step by step are difficult, and if you are not careful, you will lose your mind and soul. At this moment, the practitioners on the sea boat have temporarily forgotten their troubles and hardships, and indulged in the dream of becoming immortals.

Ye Yunlan took a sip of wine.

The strong wine entered the throat, like swallowing a ball of fire, burning this sick and weak body, a little bit of life?

There was a slight blush on his face, and someone laughed and said: "It is said that beauties are easy to grow old? Withered bones turn into ashes. The names on the beauty list change every year, which is really lamentable. If I become a fairy, I should bring a The beauties on the list must ascend together. Otherwise, even if you arrive in that beautiful fairyland, what's the point of being lonely."

This group of people has jumped from discussing the chance of becoming a fairy to what to do after becoming a fairy.

"Fellow Daoist, if you were to choose, which beauty on the list would you choose?" Someone toasted and laughed.

"Does it need to be said!" Someone seemed to be drunk, and the voice suddenly became louder, "If you choose me, it is naturally Ye Xianjun! I saw Ye Xianjun once on Tianchi Mountain, and since then, the flowers in the world have no color. Immortal If you look at me, this life will be worth it!"

The monk sitting next to him was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, Fellow Daoist, where is there no color in the end of the world, let alone that person is a man? There is no need to be so crazy..."

The man was drunk and interrupted: "Haven't you been to the Tianchi Mountain Discussion Conference? You don't understand! Since that time, my biggest dream of practicing is to let the fairy marry me..."

Someone next to him sighed: "Is this the first sight of Ye Xianjun in the widely spread? Jun Yan mistakenly lived his life, and from now on the world of mortals is a passerby"? I am glad that I did not go to Tianchi Mountain to discuss Taoism back then? Otherwise, I will miss it every day With one person in mind, how do I continue to practice."

Ye Yunlan listened to these words talking about herself, but just lowered her eyes and held the chopsticks, concentrating on eating.

He ate less than half of a plate of boiled beef, and he didn't continue to move his chopsticks after that.

The waves hit the hull, shaking him a little dizzy.

Chest also? A little stuffy.

He got up and wanted to go back to the cabin, but at this moment there was a huge wave rushing towards him, and the hull suddenly shook, making him staggered, and it was hard for him to support the table to stand still.

The boatman next to him laughed even louder.

He ignored it, and returned to the narrow and cramped cabin with the sword in hand.

The stars were reflected on the dark sea outside the window, somewhat similar to the night sky he looked up at in the bamboo building.

At this time in the past, Shen Shu was already lying on the bed, warming the quilt, waiting for him to sleep peacefully together.

The wooden bed in the cabin is too narrow to accommodate his figure, and there is no quilt bed.The sea breeze is cold.

Ye Yunlan didn't lie down, but leaned against the head of the bed, holding the sword and closing her eyes.

The sound of waves lapping leisurely, half asleep and half awake, suddenly heard someone shouting: "Sea beasts attack the ship! There are sea beasts attacking the ship!"

Immediately afterwards? It was the shock of the hull.Ye Yunlan woke up, picked up Queying beside her, and saw that there were pairs of eyes shining fiercely on the dark sea outside the window.He lacked eyesight and couldn't see clearly. He could only feel the fierceness of the sea beasts? They kept rushing from the darkness.

The Queying sword was agitated by the evil spirit, and Ye Yunlan stretched out his hand to caress the scabbard, and Queying slowly calmed down.

He put on the mask, got up and opened the door to the corridor.

Haven't made it to the deck yet.There was a strong smell of blood.

"They're coming up soon! What about the defensive formation on the ship, can it hold up?"

"Boss, there are too many sea beasts, the spirit stones are consumed too fast, I'm afraid it will collapse soon—" "Damn it, have all the other monks on the boat come?"

"Most of them have already arrived. But the boat boss, among the monks who boarded the boat this time, there are only two monks in the golden core stage, and you, the boat boss, are only three. I'm afraid I'll run out of spiritual power? I won't be able to survive this Wave beast tide!"

Ye Yunlan had already walked to the deck.

There was a long bloodstain on the deck, and there were still some broken corpses and limbs that had not been dealt with. They should have been left by the crew members who were suddenly attacked by sea beasts.

A dozen or so monks who were chatting and laughing in the restaurant on the boat have gathered together and are inputting their spiritual power into the formation on the hull. A dim light curtain is stretched open, precariously resisting the attack of sea beasts.

The leader was a monk with a kerchief on his head and a rough face. He seemed to be the captain of the ship.

Zhu Xiaodu is also among them.His cultivation base is only good enough to train Qi? First floor, he can't help much, he can only help with other miscellaneous things at the side.When he saw Ye Yunlan, he was shocked.

"Guest, why are you here?" Zhu Xiaodu said, "Sea beasts are invading, the deck is dangerous, and the formation of the ship guards only requires monks to contribute. You don't have to come here."

Ye Yunlan said in a low voice: "Let me take a look."

The sea wind on the deck was stronger than that in the cabin. He had already had some discomfort after drinking some wine.

"Xiao Du, a tuberculosis, you still have time to take care of him. Now even we are too busy to take care of ourselves, later? If the barrier is broken and the sea beast boards the ship, I'm afraid we will all be buried here!" A crew member called Zhu Xiaodu next to him.Zhu Xiaodu glared at the man, then raised his head to look at Ye Yunlan, "Guest, you are not feeling well, you should go back to the cabin to rest first. The encounter with the sea beast was an accident, but no matter what, we will do our best to stop the sea beast and protect the safety of the guests. "

Ye Yunlan said: "Go ahead and get busy, don't worry about me."

His voice was a little hoarse from the mask, but it was still cool and pleasant, as if it had a calming power.

Zhu Xiaodu felt guilty.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to solicit customers, the guest in front of him might not have boarded their ship and suffered such danger.

It seems that he is nostalgic for the old illness, and this ups and downs, too? I don't know if it will aggravate the condition.

At this moment, a crisp sound was suddenly heard.

It's a corner of the barrier on the bow!

The sea beast let out a piercing howl, and took advantage of the opportunity to keep climbing up the hull. A burly crew member was shaking the sails at the bow, and suddenly a ferocious sea beast appeared behind him. The sailor's neck was attacked—the pupils of the burly crew member shrank sharply, and it was too late to avoid it, and they were about to close their eyes and wait for death.

But suddenly, he saw a sword light like a meteor falling into the night, shining brightly in front of his eyes!

The sea beast in front of him was cut in two by a sword, and the smelly blood sprayed on his face. He hurriedly seized the opportunity to retreat to the rear of the deck, turned his head to look for his savior, but only saw a black robe and a hood. Under the hat is a cold bronze ghost face.

His eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, "It's you!"

Ye Yunlan recognized him as the burly crew member who was sitting not far from her just now.He didn't say much, just passed the opponent and walked to the bow.

At this moment, sea beasts gathered at the bow of the ship, their ferocious bodies and eyes glaring with cold eyes. The humans on board, Ye Yunlan's sword was flowing with the blood of sea beasts. A monk behind him said: "Your Excellency, be careful!"

Before the words fell, I saw the sword light passing by, and the sea beast that rushed forward had been cut into two pieces!

The monk who wanted to call Ye Yunlan to stop took a breath.

The Nirvana Sword Intent on Ye Yunlan's body flowed slowly and swayed like water waves.

Queyingjian groaned softly as if it couldn't bear it.

The sea beast continued to rush from the crack.

One, two, three.

Then they were all wiped out.

They don't have the wisdom of humans, but they also know how to be afraid.

He could only hesitate to climb on the bow of the boat, but he didn't dare to attack Ye Yunlan again.

Suddenly, a piercing monster screamed from the distant sea, as if urging its subordinates to continue to board the ship and attack.

The sea beasts who were still hesitating became restless, and some of their eyes had turned crimson.

The sound of monsters on the sea surface in the distance continued.

Ye Yunlan raised his eyes and looked into the distance.

He still couldn't see the situation on the sea surface clearly, but the Nirvana Sword Intent had already locked onto the most vigorous and powerful breath of life among them.

"Noisy." He said coldly.

The sword intent burst out, breaking through the boundless night, and the screams in the distance stopped abruptly.

The howling of the sea beasts stopped, and the group of dragons had no leader and could only give up attacking the ships.

The sea breeze is calm.

There was even more silence on the deck.

Zhu Xiaodu looked at the blood-stained person on the prow and sword, and couldn't speak.

He heard a drunken monk next to him say excitedly.

"The Mahayana realm of the Sword Dao? I never thought that I, Xu Zize, would meet here today? A senior who has reached the Mahayana realm of the Sword Dao!"

"Since you have already mastered the Dao of the Sword, why are you still a mortal? You shouldn't, you shouldn't..."

Seeing the drunk murmuring? He was about to get close to that person, but he was taken a step ahead.

The rough-faced captain strode forward, came to Ye Yunlan, and said with a loud smile: "The ability to resist the beast tide today is all thanks to your help. I, Zhu Shengguang, thank you here. I don't know your name?"

Ye Yunlan didn't answer right away.The bronze mask on the face was ferocious, glowing with a cold light under the moonlight.

Zhu Shengguang observed the words and expressions, and immediately changed the way of saying: "Your Excellency is an expert hermit. If you don't want to reveal your name, just give us a code name. You are the benefactor of our entire ship. We will? Will? Do everything The power of the ship will repay."

The Queying sword was slowly put into its sheath.

Ye Yunlan said: "If you save me, you don't need to repay. As for the title..."

The intent of the Nirvana Sword has not completely faded from his body, and the sea breeze is blowing the black robe on his body. He looks like a ghost who came to the world from hell.

"I don't have a code name myself, it's just that people called me a long time ago..."

"'Ghost Rakshasa'."

……

The black wind gusts, the dead leaves flutter in the sky, and then fall in pieces.Like floating paper money.

Shen Shu walked on the barren land.

The closer to the Demon Abyss, the more violent the beating between the eyebrows.The memory of the demon king that was suppressed in the depths of his mind also kept reappearing.Those memories are not only the years of returning to the human world, but also the long experience at the bottom of the devil's abyss, the memories of absorbing countless ghosts and ghosts - and these, Shen Shu dare not touch , lest it sink into memory.

"If you want to refine the nine-turn demon body, you need to kill and absorb millions of demon souls, so it is considered Hinayana." A voice said in your mind, "You can't even accept some fragments of demon souls in your memory, so how can you achieve the demon body?" Finally, stay rational and go save your beloved master?"

Shen Shu knew this.

Before entering the Demon Abyss, he had to completely absorb the memories in his mind, so that the personality split from that part of the memories could be integrated with himself.

If he would have hesitated before, but now with Ye Yunlan's promise to him, he will never get lost in it and lose his true self.

After all, Master is still at home, waiting? He went back to meet.

Shen Shu looked up at the gray sky.

In a barren land, the stars and the moon are hard to see.

But at this time in the past, Shizun Yuemo had already gone to bed to rest.

But I don't know if Master will feel cold without him warming the bed.

He clenched the residual light sword tightly and quickened his pace.

……

Although Ye Yunlan said that he didn't need the captain's reward, Zhu Shengguang still changed him to the best room on the ship.

Zhu Xiaodu was sent by his father to take care of Ye Yunlan's daily life.

The new room is vastly different from the original one. It is spacious and elegantly furnished. There are soft quilts, an incense burner with soothing incense, and hot water for bathing.

Ye Yunlan did not refuse. When dealing with the sea beast attack, he had some blood on his body, so he can take this opportunity to clean it up.

Zhu Xiaodu knocked on the door with the elixirs prepared by his father.

"Sir, may I come in?"

He didn't call out the word "Ghost Rakshasa", but because of his code name, it was really sinister. It didn't sound like a person in the righteous way, but it was somewhat similar to the nicknames of the group of demon cultivators in the Demon Realm.His father, Zhu Shengguang, didn't say much on the surface at the time, but he explained to him many times in private that he must deal with it carefully. After all, Moxiu is moody? Everyone knows it.Although this man looks incompetent, his swordsmanship has reached the level of perfection. If he really tries to fight, ten boatmen may not be enough to fill his teeth.

And doubled the elixir and treasures raised, and entrusted Zhu Xiaodu to send the rewards to the ghost-faced man.

Although Zhu Shengguang was cautious as before the enemy, Zhu Xiaodu felt that the ghost-masked man might not be the kind of person they imagined.

Maybe it was because of his voice, or maybe it was because Zhu Xiaodu saw him when he got on the boat? With his back sitting quietly in the cabin, Zhu Xiaodu always felt that the ghost-faced man might be a gentle person.

He heard the faint voice of the person coming from the door.

"can."

Zhu Xiaodu pushed the door open and walked in, and saw that the candles in the room were dimly lit. The man was looking at him with his back to the sea outside the window. His black robe had been taken off and he was only wearing a snow-white undershirt. His long hair was drenched behind him. .

From Zhu Xiaodu's point of view, he only felt that his back was extremely thin, as if he would ride the wind and go away at any time.

"Father prepared some things, let me bring them to you." Zhu Xiaodu went up and put all the magic weapons on the table.

The man by the window said: "I've already said, I just rescued you casually and don't need to repay. Take the things back."

Zhu Xiaodu thought of his father's ten thousand exhortations, hesitated for a moment, remembered hearing the other party's cough on the deck before, and whispered: "Your Excellency, you are injured, even if you don't ask for anything in return, can you take a few bottles?" Useful elixir to heal the body."

The person by the window said calmly: "My wound medicine stone is useless. You go back."

Zhu Xiaodu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, he couldn't see the monk's "Qi" on the ghost-masked man, but now he looked carefully, there was not even much of the "Qi" left by the stranger.

He'd only seen it happen to dying people.

I couldn't help but took another two steps forward, and walked to the side of the person by the window, "What kind of injury did you suffer? If the medicine stone is useless, what else can I do to help..."

His voice stopped abruptly.

The person in front of him is not wearing a mask. From his angle, he can see the pale side face of the other person.

Every inch of arc is smooth as if created by nature.The hair is extremely black, the skin is extremely white, the corners of the eyes are dotted with vermilion, and a few strands of wet hair are bent and pasted on the cheeks, which can be called thick and colorful, and the beauty is almost overwhelming.

Zhu Xiaodu imagined what the "Ghost Rakshasa" would look like under the mask. Some were ugly, and some were handsome, but they were definitely not the thrillingly beautiful ones we see today.

Even those beauties on the list of secrets, I'm afraid? That's all.

Ye Yunlan turned his head sideways.

Zhu Xiaodu is young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a handsome face, holding a bunch of elixirs in his hands, and looks sincere when he looks up at people.

Ye Yunlan recalled that when Shen Shu was young, he always liked to look up at him. His dark eyes were clear and bright, reflecting only his figure.

He closed his eyes.

Then he casually took a bottle of pill from the boy's arms.

"Okay," he said, "Go back and tell Zhu Shengguang that when the ship arrives in Cangzhou, I will disembark immediately, won't you? Stay on the ship. Don't let anyone bother you here for a few days."

Zhu Xiaodu nodded blankly.

After leaving the room, I realized that my face was flushed.He went back to report to his father, and said exactly what Ye Yunlan told him. Seeing that his father had a reassuring look on his face, for some reason, he was reluctant to tell the other party that he had seen the face of the ghost-masked man.

Seven days later, the ship was moored in Cangzhou, the northern region, on the edge of the Frost Sea.

When Ye Yunlan got off the ship, the monks on the same ship all paid him a grateful respect, but intentionally or unintentionally kept a lot of distance from him.Only a sunny and handsome monk with a big sword on his back ran over in a hurry.

"Seven days have passed, and I finally see you, senior!"

"My name is Xu Zize, and I admire senior's swordsmanship very much. I want to discuss and compete with senior in my spare time. If senior is also going to the Frost Sea Realm to find opportunities, I wonder if you would like to go with me?"

The young man looked at him and showed his white teeth in a smile.

Ye Yunlan had never seen him before.

I do remember his voice.

That day in the cabin restaurant, the one who got drunk and shouted "I want Ye Xianjun to marry me" was the person in front of him.
