Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

The wind and sand whizzed past Baijiazhai in the dark night, interspersed with the crisp sound of copper bells.

Jingle bell, jingle bell—

The sound of the bell prompted Ruan Qiu to see the strange sedan chair covered by black and white curtains among the crowd of the Blood Talisman Sect, and an unexplained cold breath came towards him, making his eyes tremble.

Seeing this, Yin Wuchen squeezed his palm, "People from the Demon Sect like to play tricks, don't be afraid, I can protect you and the child."

Hearing Yin Wuchen's comfort, Ruan Qiu's tense face relaxed.

That's right, his sword master is here, so why should he be afraid of the master of the Blood Talisman Sect?

but……

Ruan Qiu asked: "Yin Wuchang and Ghost Mother are also from the Blood Demon Sect. Ghost Mother invited Master to come here. He also entered the ghost town at this time. I wonder if he will help Ghost Mother deal with Master?"

Yin Wuchen said: "If he is a helper invited by the ghost mother, he doesn't need to find someone to lead the way. Besides, the four sects of the Demon Sect operate independently. I have never heard of the close relationship between the Blood Talisman Sect and the Blood Shadow Palace. On the contrary, there are constant frictions." , There are often disputes and fights. I think Yin Wuchang is not only for the treasure house of the Nie family, but there is no possibility that it is to help the ghost mother. It may be good for us if he comes. As long as the ghost town is in chaos, it is best to distract the ghost mother , our odds of winning will be greater.”

Ruan Qiu only believed in Yin Wuchen, Yin Wuchen was not worried, and he didn't think too much about it, and followed Yin Wuchen slowly to the intersection outside the stockade.

Hetu had been waiting for a long time, and seeing the two of them walking down the slope slowly, he was already impatient, and when he saw the two of them approaching, he said with an ugly face: "You guys are finally here, but tell me to wait so hard. How about you go back to sleep and give birth to a baby to lead the way?"

Ruan Qiu knew that Hetu would be dissatisfied with them, so he didn't intend to refute, but when he heard Hetu's words, he was choked up for a moment, and bowed his head silently.

If he hadn't had to enter the ghost town, he should have given birth to the child first...

No one wanted to fight with a big belly, Ruan Qiu wanted to keep this unexpected child, but he never thought that he would have a child.

After knowing that there was a cub in her belly, Ruan Qiu was always worried.

Yin Wuchen didn't respond to Hetu's ridicule, and led Ruan Qiu over without changing his expression. His indifferent eyes swept over the thirty or so Blood Talisman Sect monks in front of the intersection, "All here? Let's go now?"

Hetu couldn't hide his anger, he stared at them for a long time, finally let out a cold snort, and walked towards the sedan chair in the crowd with the round moon scimitar on his back.

His expression was a little unwilling, and he bent his back stiffly in front of the sedan chair, "Old Ancestor, the guide has arrived, and it's time for us to set off."

Ruan Qiu had never seen Yin Wuchang, one of the six elders of the former Blood Demon Sect. Hearing this, he couldn't help being curious, and secretly looked up, only to see the black and white curtains swaying with the wind and sand, but after waiting for a while, the sedan chair There was absolutely no movement inside or outside.

With so many pairs of eyes watching, Hetu's face became even more ugly, he gritted his teeth, cupped his hands and said, "Old Ancestor, it's time to enter the ghost town!"

The black and white curtain finally moved, only a bell rang, and there was indeed movement in the sedan chair, but to everyone's surprise, a five or six-year-old black-clothed child rolled out of the sedan chair, lying on the front of the sedan chair, His face was still buried in the plank.

"oops!"

The childish voice sounded, and Ruan Qiu, who was watching from a distance, was stunned. He watched the short-handed and short-footed child rubbing his round head and got up, grabbed Yin Wuchen's sleeves in shock, and murmured in a low voice: "This child , is it Yin impermanence?"

Yin Wuchen frowned suspiciously.

Seeing Hetu standing up straight, he also looked unhappy, "Why are you?"

The child patted his chubby cheeks, and picked up the copper bell that had rolled to the edge of the sedan chair. The copper bell was bigger than his hand, and it kept ringing as soon as he moved it.Ruan Qiu finally understood where the sound of the bell came from just now, and was also puzzled.

The child was not afraid of Hetu, so he sat down outside the tent, puffed up his face and glared at him, "Grandpa is asleep, hurry up where you are going, it's so noisy, it's annoying!"

He seems to have worked hard to make himself serious. In fact, he has a naive and cute expression, white and tender, looks like a steamed bun, and his voice is crisp.When Ruan Qiu listened to him, the softest part of her heart seemed to be poked.

He has always been very tolerant of children, especially such clever children.

However, is this child the grandson of Yin Wuchang?Ruan Qiu became even more curious about the person in the sedan chair whom the children called grandpa, and asked Yin Wuchen in a low voice, "Could the people inside be Yin Wuchang?"

Yin Wuchen was also not sure, "There should be only one ancestor of the Blood Talisman Sect."

The child was surrounded by so many vicious Demon Sect cultivators, but he didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. He seemed to be familiar with it. In the crowd, he also quickly noticed Ruan Qiu and Yin Wuchen, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up holding the copper bell, " who are they?"

He wanted to jump out of the sedan chair, but just as he jumped up, the curtain behind him suddenly moved, and a crutch shot out from inside, passed through the bib behind the child's neck, and actually hung him in the air!

The child screamed again in fright, but then he hugged the brass bell in his arms tightly and laughed again, "Grandpa!"

The person in the sedan chair came out?

Realizing this, Ruan Qiu stared at the sedan chair without blinking.

Everyone looked at the sedan chair, including Hetu, and saw a light cough from inside the sedan chair, followed by a soft and hoarse male voice.

"Have you found the person who led the way?"

The voice sounded quite young, Yin Wuchen's eyes flashed, and he quietly turned sideways to protect Ruan Qiu behind him.The child struggled to get off on crutches and jumped off, straightened the bib on his chest, turned his head and pulled open the curtain, humming dissatisfiedly: "Grandpa, you were woken up by this stupid big man too, right?"

He called people stupid, but he was afraid that people would not know, so he deliberately pointed at Hetu to complain, and Hetu was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped up, and he clenched his fists.

After the curtain was pulled back, the person in the sedan chair finally revealed his true colors. It was a sickly young man in black robe, with long frosty white hair, slender eyebrows and delicate features. He looked gloomy. He raised his eyes and looked out of the sedan chair That glance gave people the feeling of some kind of venomous snake, sharp and cold.

This is not like a grandfather at all. Even though he holds a cane in his hand and coughs in a low voice from time to time, the first time everyone in the Blood Talisman Sect saw him, they were all filled with the coldness accumulated by him fighting in the Demon Sect for many years. Shocked by the momentum, he looked at each other, and then knelt down with the others.

Of the few people standing at the moment, only Ruan Qiu, Yin Wuchen, and He Tu remained.No need to explain, Ruan Qiu stared blankly at this imposing young man in black robe, and already guessed his identity.

There is only one ancestor of the Blood Talisman Sect, and that person is Yin Wuchang.

Refining blood and painting talismans, killing impermanence.

The older generation of magic gate talisman powerhouses.

The child looked at the performance of the crowd, grinned triumphantly, and blinked curiously when he saw Ruan Qiu and the two of them.

In front of Yin Wuchang's aura, Hetu also had to bow his head, gritted his teeth and cupped his fists, and said again what he had just said.

"Old Ancestor, the person has been brought here, it's time to go."

"You are in a hurry."

Yin Wuchang lowered his head and coughed, looked sickly and weak, and moved very nimbly when retracting his crutches. He was sitting in a sedan chair, leaning on a mahogany cane in one hand, and casually resting his other hand on his lap. His slender eyes glanced at Hetu, It looked extremely lazy, but also revealed an indescribable coldness that was close to the soul.

Hetu straightened up, with dissatisfaction on his face, "For the treasure house of the Nie family, and for the future of the Blood Talisman Sect, we must be anxious!"

Yin Wuchang's complexion was morbidly pale, and he took a deep breath before looking straight at Hetu, "Oh, where's the person?"

Hetu frowned, turned and pointed to Yin Wuchen and Ruan Qiu behind him, "These two people from the Xuanji sect are willing to take us into the ghost city."

Ruan Qiu thought to himself, isn't this why you are threatening Elder Zhong's life?This is said as if they took the initiative to lead them the way.

Yin Wuchang's eyes slowly turned in the direction of the two of them, Yin Wuchen was calm and calm as always, letting the cold gaze scrutinize him, but Ruan Qiu felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, and turned his head away.

When Hetu didn't recognize Yin Wuchen, Yin Wuchen deliberately restrained his breath, so in Hetu's eyes, Yin Wuchen's cultivation level was at most not far from his, or much lower than his.Hetu didn't think that Yin Wuchang needed to waste time on this, his patience had already been exhausted, and he urged him repeatedly.

"Old Ancestor, it's time to enter the ghost town."

Looking at Yin Wuchen and the two of them, Yin Wuchang's thin lips curled up slightly, and he quickly moved his eyes away.

"Let's go then."

He looked back at Hetu, and his smile was more like a poisonous snake covered with cold scales. For some reason, he said with emotion, "You have good eyesight. The person you find can lead the way."

What's the meaning?Did he recognize it?

Ruan Qiu's heart was shocked, he held Yin Wuchen's sleeve tightly, and looked at him nervously.

Yin Wuchen just shook his head lightly, pressed the back of his hand, and comforted him silently.

Hetu also heard something, and looked back at the two of them again, but before he could think about it, the crutch in Yin Wuchang's hand flashed past——

Just now, he pulled the heavy black and white curtains in front of the sedan chair like a funeral to let everyone see that the gloomy child had been taken back. Hearing an immature exclamation, the double curtains slowly fell down, covering the people in the sedan chair. Let out a hoarse laugh—"It's dark, the children should go to bed, otherwise, Grandpa Wuchang will come to arrest you."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ruan Qiu could hear a bit of kindness from this laughter. He himself was a little funny, but he couldn't help but look at the sedan chair curiously. This person is so strange...

How can Yin Wuchang tell that they are the ones who can lead the way?

However, Yin Wuchang had already agreed to go on the road, which also fulfilled Hetu's wish. Although Hetu also had many doubts about the two of them, he had no intention of staying in Baijiazhai again and waved his hand.

"Let's go, enter the ghost town!"

Everyone in the Blood Talisman Sect obeyed their orders and got up together, dressed up and walked towards the ghost city.

Hetu was already suspicious of Yin Wuchen and Ruan Qiu, so he beckoned a subordinate to whisper a few words, then jumped onto the back of a huge black wolf, and the cultivator of the Blood Talisman Sect lifted up the sedan chair and followed closely.

That subordinate led a few monks over, surrounded Yin Wuchen and Ruan Qiu, his tone was cold and hard, and he really wasn't polite to them.

"Follow us!"

Yin Wuchen didn't care about these Nascent Soul Stages, he led Ruan Qiu to follow Hetu and Yin Wuchang's team, and those people followed them all the time, seeming to prevent them from escaping.

But if they want to escape, no one can stop them.

The wind, sand and smog that lingers outside Baijiazhai all the year round is due to the influence of the storm in the ghost town hundreds of miles away, but in fact it is still far away from the ghost town. Shred everything.

Walking from Baijiazhai to the ghost town, there will be a long road before you enter the suburbs of the ghost town. This road is only covered with wind, sand and haze. At present, there is no need for someone to lead the way.

When they entered the outskirts of the ghost town and reached the place where the storm was raging, they needed someone to guide them to avoid the high risks and find a relatively safe way before they could truly enter the old site of Nie's house in the center of the ghost town.

This group of people are all monks, not to mention thousands of miles a day, a hundred miles a day can also walk, even Ruan Qiu, who has the lowest level of cultivation, can walk this distance with a magic amulet without much effort.

Not long after walking, Yin Wuchen insisted on carrying Ruan Qiu, and there were so many people around him, even though everyone was on their way, and Yin Wuchen also said that they were Taoist couples, Ruan Qiu would still blush and shy.

The sky is gradually getting brighter, and it is about five o'clock. In the foggy days, the closer to the ghost town, the thicker the fog, the sun, the moon, and the stars do not come in. It is no longer possible to rely on the skylight to estimate the time.

Ruan Qiu was afraid of being controlled by the ghost bead, so he didn't dare to fall asleep, but once the habit of eating and sleeping is formed, it will inevitably be uncomfortable in the early stage of being broken. After stuffing a elixir into his mouth, he immediately tightened the face towel around his mouth and nose.

The closer to the ghost town, the greater the wind and sand, which is what makes Ruan Qiu feel the most uncomfortable.

After thinking about it, Ruan Qiu asked Yin Wuchen in a low voice, "Master, are you tired?"

Yin Wuchen acted as if he didn't see Ruan Qiu secretly eating the Jushen Pill, and shook his head lightly, "It's only two hours, nothing happened." He looked at the Blood Talisman Sect team led by Hetu, and said in a low voice: "Be patient! , it’s within the range of the ghost town not far ahead.”

He had entered the ghost town twice in his previous life, once to seek revenge but accidentally got a ghost orb into his body, and once to find a solution to the curse for Ruan Qiu.

Yin Wuchen didn't say he was familiar with the way into the ghost town, but he recognized it.

Sure enough, after they moved forward for a while, the wind and sand gradually became smaller, and the team in front also suddenly stopped, and someone shouted in front, "We've reached the outskirts of the ghost town!"

Ruan Qiuxin said that what the master said was really accurate, so he patted Yin Wuchen on the shoulder and asked him to let him down. As soon as he got off the ground, monks came to invite them to go ahead, and it was time for them to lead the way.

Even though he saw the boundary marker engraved with Mingzhou City from a distance, Ruan Qiu's heart felt even heavier. He was on the outskirts of the ghost city, and he was about to see the ghost mother.

He can't help worrying about the unknown ending.

Yin Wuchen knew what was going on in his heart, held his hand tightly, and led him over.

When the two passed by, Hetu was standing next to the black wolf, looking down at a roll of sheepskin map, still stopping in front of the boundary marker, not daring to move rashly.

Seeing the two of Yin Wuchen approaching, he pulled the sheepskin roll away with one hand and held it in front of Yin Wuchen, still looking fierce.

"Do you know how to get there?"

It was only then that Ruan Qiu realized that this was a map of the old Mingzhou city. It was useful, but the map of the old Mingzhou city was not difficult to find. The difficulty was to find someone who understood the law of storms in ghost cities.

If there were really rules to be found in the ghost city storm, it would have been broken long ago. Would people dare to enter it after the storm weakens today?

Everyone knows this truth, at this moment, we can only rely on Yin Wuchen.

The sandstorm has stopped, but the fatal risk is still behind this boundary marker.

Before the boundary marker, it was safe.

Here, after the ghost town was shrouded in a storm, the only person who has entered the ghost town is Yin Wuchen. The last two times when he came here, he broke through extremely severe storms. Now the wind and waves are calm behind this boundary marker. Very quiet.

Hetu didn't dare to go in.

I'm afraid that this ghost town, which looks as peaceful as a painting, will kill him.

Under the tense gaze of everyone, Yin Wuchen, who was too calm, took the sheepskin scroll and pointed at one place with his fingertips, "There are east and west gates in the old Mingzhou city. Here, on the outskirts of the east gate, is where we are currently. It is about [-] meters away from the east gate." Twenty miles away. The ghost town storm is not like the wind and sand outside. In fact, the so-called storm can also be called a thunderstorm. There are thunderstorms in the wind that can almost tear apart the space. They are extremely lethal and irregular. Maybe it looks calm at the moment, but as long as you set foot in the ghost town, it will attract hurricanes and thunderstorms, and even a cultivator at the transformation stage may be reduced to dust."

Hetu had obviously done his homework, and interrupted impatiently, "I know what you said, otherwise why should I ask you to lead the way?"

"I'm telling my Taoist companion."

Yin Wuchen said lightly: "You don't have to listen."

Hetu was shocked, "You!"

Yin Wuchen ignored him, handed the map to Ruan Qiu, and continued: "There is a storm, and the map of the old Mingzhou city is almost useless, but for some reason, the storm only hurts the outsiders who broke into the ghost city, but not the old Mingzhou city. There are no buildings in the city, as long as people hide in, they can be protected from the damage of the storm. Xiao Qiu, you have to remember this map, maybe it can be used when we want to find a place to avoid the storm."

Ruan Qiu nodded obediently, carefully writing down every detail of this map.

This is the layout of the old Mingzhou City, but Hetu snatched the map back before he had even glanced at it. He heard Yin Wuchen said that he could hide in the house to avoid the storm, so he also wanted to write down the details of the map.

Before Ruan Qiu could finish memorizing the map, he was robbed of the map, with a bit of displeasure on his face, Yin Wuchen pressed his hand first, "We have it too."

Ruan Qiu was coaxed.

Hetu looked at the map desperately, thinking that they hadn't entered the ghost city yet, so he put the map away again, "The most urgent thing is to find the gate of the ghost city first. Those people in the Blood Shadow Palace have been in for two days. If we are one step late, Maybe the treasure house and exercises of the Nie family will fall into their hands!"

Ruan Qiu suddenly said, "It turns out that what you want from the Blood Talisman Sect is also exercises."

He felt that something was wrong, the temptation of the Nie family's treasure house is indeed not small, but the Blood Talisman Sect is also a powerful sect of magic, and it is not possible to let the ancestors and Zuo protectors work hard for a little treasure house. Especially the Tianshui Jue, a top skill that has been famous in the upper spirit world many years ago, can make sense. The temptation to ascend is really great.

He Tu was not afraid of being exposed, and said frankly: "Because of practicing the Nie family's Tianshui Jue, the ghost mother's cultivation level is far beyond my peers. It can be seen that Tianshui Jue is really mysterious, you don't want to get it?"

Yin Wuchen said indifferently: "For a greedy person, even if he gets the Tianshui Jue, it may not be able to satisfy his desire. You are right, Xiao Qiu and I don't need Tianshui Jue."

Hetu was still afraid that they would rob him, but he couldn't be happy when he said no, isn't this scolding him?Hetu sneered and said, "You don't want it, I want it, tell me quickly, how to get in!"

Yin Wuchen looked into the boundary marker in a blink of an eye, "I can only say that before the storm, I can't be sure where the route is safe. However, your aggressive tone of my Taoist companion makes me very dissatisfied now, and I can also I won't take you in."

Ruan Qiu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yin Wuchen with eyes full of novelty, Master, seems to be in a bad mood today, and will make things difficult for others.

But he still likes the master who helped him get ahead in this way...

Hetu's face darkened, and he drew his sword directly, "I have endured you for a long time, little boy! Have you forgotten that you and your little Taoist companion are in my hands now, so you are not afraid that I will kill him?"

Ruan Qiu was affected again, and felt very helpless, but that little boy... He blinked, looked at Yin Wuchen, and didn't dare to make a sound.

This was the first time he saw someone pointing at his sword master and scolding the little boy.

Yin Wuchen's eyes were cold, "Try?"

Hetu sneered and said, "Did you forget that the ancestor of the Blood Talisman Sect is still here, can you protect your little Taoist companion by yourself?"

Yin Wuchen asked back: "Will he make a move?"

Hetu didn't speak any more, and turned his head to look at the sedan chair that was placed in front of the boundary marker, only to see a small round head protruding from the tent, with his mouth slightly open, with an expression of watching the excitement.

Yin Wuchen expected that Dingyin Wuchang would not make a move, "Now, do you apologize?"

Ruan Qiu bit his lip, his face was nervous, but he was expecting for no reason, because he knew that Yin Wuchen would not lose, but Master Juggernaut was arguing with others for him, and he was really happy.

In the end, Hetu took a step back, retracted the scimitar, and apologized to Ruan Qiu with a cold face: "I was rude, can I go?"

How did Ruan Qiu know this.

Yin Wuchen saw that Hetu's face was livid, and he knew that this person would only apologize in this way at the most. He shook his head and led Ruan Qiu to the boundary marker, "It's hard to get out after entering."

Seeing that he really stepped into the range of the boundary marker, Hetu did not cause any movement, and his complexion improved a bit, but he didn't like Yin Wuchen's condescending attitude, so he still had a gloomy face.

"Follow!"

The person from the Blood Talisman Sect lifted up the sedan chair, and the moment they stepped into the boundary marker with them, it was as if they had passed through a layer of water film, and the fine wind and sand behind them were instantly washed away, ushering in a more gloomy atmosphere.

Ruan Qiu was startled, followed Yin Wuchen forward, couldn't help but look back at the boundary marker, Yin Wuchen held his hand when he saw this.

"What's wrong, are you still angry?"

Ruan Qiu was stunned again, and said with a smile: "I'm not that stingy, and I'm not afraid that he will attack me. But Master, I just seemed to..." He covered his heart, feeling the rapid heartbeat under his palm, and Qiu Shui's eyes were full of tears. It was confusion, "I seem to have heard something, but it seems that there is nothing."

When he stepped into the boundary marker, he was inexplicably happy, but also a little sour.

This made his heart beat faster, but he didn't know why.

Yin Wuchen frowned, because Ruan Qiu couldn't understand, he naturally couldn't figure it out, he just held Ruan Qiu's hand tightly, "Let's go."

"it is good."

Ruan Qiu nodded, and couldn't help but look back at the boundary marker.

A group of people passed through the boundary marker and headed towards the east gate of the ghost city. At this time, the sky was already bright, and it was difficult for the sky to penetrate the thick haze. Only a few gleams of light leaked out and fell on the boundary marker engraved with Mingzhou City.

A layer of arc-shaped twilight was faintly visible on the boundary marker. Everyone walked past the moss-covered boundary marker and walked away slowly. They didn't hear a sigh, and dispersed slowly with the almost still air.

The author has something to say:

This chapter is going to be written after entering the ghost town, and then the new characters will be online, which will cause the plot to be delayed, and it will be even later, Jiumi!
