Cannon fodder apprentice reborn

The storm raged out of the ghost city, ignoring the blocking of the city tower. If you want to enter the city at this time, you must first pass through the gap of the storm.

As far as Yin Wuchen is concerned, a storm will soon spread beyond the ghost town, and it will not be safe for tens of miles around the boundary markers at that time, so it is better to enter the ghost town and find a building to take shelter.This is also his experience, he has tried several times before.

What's more, nowadays, the storm in the ghost town has weakened.

At this moment, the curse in Ruan Qiu's body broke out, and Yin Wuchen condensed sword energy around them and turned them into a golden light shield. While looking for a gap in the storm, he channeled spiritual power into Ruan Qiu's body to relieve his pain, and urged: "Xiao Qiu, Take the medicine quickly!"

Ruan Qiu bit his pale lower lip tightly, and clenched Yin Wuchen's skirt. The ghost beads in his body absorbed Yin Wuchen's spiritual power, and the pain in his body gradually weakened. He regained a little sobriety, but shook his head again, "No... Teacher Your Honor, I have taken the medicine..."

"what?"

Yin Wuchen's spiritual sword paused slightly. He saw the thunderstorm rumbling in front of him, and a circle of icy arcs containing electric light propelled outward. He folded his body and hugged Ruan Qiu from the side, only to remember that after passing the boundary marker, Ruan Qiu was indeed in front of his eyes. I took medicine.

He kept watching, but when Ruan Qiu poured the medicine into his hands and swallowed it, Yin Wuchen couldn't see what kind of medicine he was taking.

"When you walk into the boundary monument, you..."

Ruan Qiu bowed his head guiltily, "Yes."

When he approached the boundary marker, he had already realized that the demon curse was onset early, but he secretly took the medicine without telling Yin Wuchen, and no one could control it.

Yin Wuchen was indeed a little angry, but seeing the pitiful appearance of the little apprentice, he could only say: "Don't lie to me next time."

Ruan Qiu nodded quickly, thought for a while and said to him: "When we approached the ghost town, the demon curse broke out, and it didn't get better after taking the medicine."

Yin Wuchen pondered: "Maybe the ghost city has affected the ghost beads, maybe... the ghost mother has started to attack again." He suddenly stopped in the violent wind, looked at the gate of the ghost city not far in front of him, "Do you hurt me?" Great, let's go back."

Ruan Qiu hurriedly shook his head, supported his heart and said: "No, we finally got here, and..." He looked at Yin Wuchen, and said firmly: "Master, when I just passed the boundary marker, there was a voice in my heart, maybe I It would be better to enter the ghost town."

Yin Wuchen has been spending his spiritual power for him, and he can clearly feel the agitation of the ghost bead in Ruan Qiu's body. I don't know if it is because of his spiritual comfort, or because he is getting closer to the ghost city. When the ghost bead is excited, Ruan Qiu's pulse It did calm down a bit.

It is faster than before when he crosses his spiritual power.

Looking at the gate of the ghost city that was already in front of him, Yin Wuchen hugged Ruan Qiu tightly, and flew towards a hole that only allowed one person to pass through the cold light a few feet away, "Okay, let's try entering the city now."

Drilling into the hole, passing by the center of the thunderstorm that was still some distance away from them.At the center of the thunderstorm, there was lightning and thunder, and there were many lights and shadows. It was almost impossible to see the way forward. Fortunately, Yin Wuchen flew into the city gate smoothly with the indestructible sword energy all over his body.

This empty and still ghost city has been in a state of raging storms all year round. The inside is no safer than the outside. The sky is full of dark clouds and there is no light from the sky. There are only dazzling lightning churning among the clouds.

The drum-like thunder sounded continuously, deafeningly, which made Ruan Qiu's heart beat faster, especially when he poked his head out of Yin Wuchen's arms to take a look, and saw dense thunderstorms falling in all directions, he subconsciously stopped breathing.

Yin Wuchen's figure in white clothes turned into a cold and stern sword light, walking through the terrifying thunder and lightning storm densely covered like a rainforest in the ghost city, looking for a safe-haven building in this dark city with the help of the lightning flash when the thunderstorm strikes in the city.

Ruan Qiu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and took advantage of the momentary light to see the surroundings clearly through Yin Wuchen's shoulder.Inside the city gate is a spacious avenue. The surrounding buildings are some distance away, and there are traces of being brutally destroyed many years ago, so it is not suitable to stay.

The thunderstorms were too dense, they fell like raindrops, and there were always times when they couldn't avoid it. Yin Wuchen could only draw his sword and walked a short distance into the city, which made Ruan Qiu's heart skip a beat.

There is almost no chance for people to breathe here. The sword energy around Yin Wuchen slowly weakened under the thunderstorm, and finally shattered when he avoided a lightning strike. The fierce hurricane lifted flying stones, almost flying Ruan Qiu in his arms.Surrounded by blinding lightning, Ruan Qiu couldn't open his eyes, buried his head in Yin Wuchen's arms, and put more force on his waist.

At this moment, Ruan Qiu finally understood why so many people dared not go to the ghost town for many years, and why Yin Wuchen never brought him to the ghost town before, because without Yin Wuchen's strength, how could he have the confidence to break through such a fierce storm?

Yin Wuchen held the Yingzhu sword to resist the next lightning strike, and flew forward with the person in his arms, not forgetting to comfort Ruan Qiu, "There is a place ahead to shelter from the storm, don't be afraid, it will be there soon!"

Ruan Qiu has no doubts about him, he firmly believes that Yin Wuchen can lead him there.

At this moment, a bolt of lightning struck Yin Wuchen's back from the dark sky, Ruan Qiu suddenly forgot the pain in his body, and without thinking about it, he rushed forward and hugged Yin Wuchen's back tightly. Bang!

Ruan Qiu's hand happened to be blocking the back of Yin Wuchen's heart, which was also the direction in which the beam of lightning struck. Yin Wuchen was keenly aware of it, and at the same time dodged to dodge, and swung a sword to strike behind him.When the beam of lightning was only a foot away from his back, it split into three beams without warning, and all of them deviated from the direction, reflecting Ruan Qiu's pale back, and finally sank into the ground with a sizzle.

Ruan Qiu watched with her own eyes, her eyes froze.

Yin Wuchen turned his head and glanced, thinking it was dangerous, and then looked at the buildings hidden in the darkness not far ahead, his figure was like lightning, taking advantage of the time when the storm subsided, he hugged Ruan Qiu to the side very quickly Go and enter the house smoothly.

This house was very large, and it was also damaged to a certain extent. The door plaque that said Nie's family fell by the door, clearly showing the identity of the owner.

After Yin Wuchen kicked open the dilapidated door and entered the house, the thunderstorm that was chasing behind them all the way no longer approached, as if separated by the old door that could hardly block the wind, it rumbled a few times, like a tide Slowly faded.

What he said earlier is indeed true, there is a place to escape from the storm in a ghost town.

Yin Wuchen glanced back before letting Ruan Qiu down with confidence.

"never mind."

Ruan Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and with Yin Wuchen's support, he sat on a pile of rubble, took a breath, and looked up at the house.

This is roughly a hall, with broken furnishings, tiles and rubble everywhere. There is a big hole in the roof on the west side. Fortunately, the thunderstorm did not break in, only the flashes of lightning flashed in from time to time, making the chaotic room pale. .

Yin Wuchen condensed sword energy and set up a barrier in front of the door to block the hurricane outside the door, turned around to support Ruan Qiu, with a solemn expression, "I have sword energy to protect my body, a single thunder can't hurt me, but you are different, this time it's you Luckily, Xiaoqiu, don't act recklessly next time."

Ruan Qiu nodded obediently, he knew that Yin Wuchen was afraid, but if there was a next time, he would still block the thunder without hesitation.

Yin Wuchen probably also guessed Ruan Qiu's thoughts, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, he stretched out his hand and said, "If you are hurt, show me your hand."

Ruan Qiu passed his hands over, his face was pale and bloodless, but his autumn eyes were shining, "I'm fine, look at it, Master."

Yin Wuchen worriedly held his hands and checked them over and over again, seeing that his hands were white and clean without any scars, he was relieved. After a pause, he looked up at Ruan Qiu suspiciously.

"Xiaoqiu, are you not in pain anymore?"

Ruan Qiu was taken aback by the question, blinked his eyes, he was too nervous just now, especially when he was almost slashed before entering the door, he forgot the pain all over his body, now he can finally sit down and rest for a while, reminded by Yin Wuchen, he Just discovered……

"It doesn't seem to hurt anymore... um!"

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his heart beat faster and thumped, almost jumping out of his chest. At the same time, the pain that had just disappeared for a moment enveloped him again. He opened his eyes wide, held on to the skirt of his clothes, and gasped suddenly. big breath.

More severe pain than before surged up from all limbs and bones, Ruan Qiu fell into Yin Wuchen's arms, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was so painful that he couldn't speak, Yin Wuchen hurriedly supported him to help him pass his spiritual power.

This time, Yin Wuchen clearly felt the ghost bead in Ruan Qiu's body was causing trouble. He sent a steady stream of spiritual power to the place where the ghost bead was, but the ghost bead was insatiable and frantically absorbed the spiritual power of him and Ruan Qiu. Can't break free.

He didn't break away from Ruan Qiu either. If he wanted Ruan Qiu to be more comfortable, he could only let the ghost beads absorb his spiritual power, but he was still worried about Ruan Qiu.

"Xiaoqiu, where's the medicine?"

Ruan Qiu fainted for a moment from the pain, and felt a large amount of spiritual power flowing into the meridians, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He came back to his senses in horror, gritted his teeth, pushed Yin Wuchen's hand away, and shook the storage ring tremblingly. Take out the pill bottle inside.

"Master..."

Yin Wuchen took the medicine bottle, poured out the elixir and counted it. He gave Ruan Qiu ten pills of this kind of medicine that can relieve the curse in Ruan Qiu's body without double cultivation. Now there are only seven pills left, which shows that Ruan Qiu He did take one pill just now, and he didn't care about what to do in the future. He picked out two pills, put the rest back, and fed it to Ruan Qiu's mouth, "Take the medicine first!"

Ruan Qiu fell into Yin Wuchen's arms convulsively, with one hand instinctively protecting his lower abdomen, and the other hand had already scratched out blood marks on the palm, Yin Wuchen took some effort to feed the two pills, and held Ruan Qiu's hand again, Continue to cross the spiritual power.

A large amount of spiritual power made Ruan Qiu's meridians swell and ache, but it was far from the pain caused by the backlash of the ghost orb. Ruan Qiu gritted his teeth and pressed his forehead on Yin Wuchen's shoulder. His blue spring shirt was gradually wet with sweat. It also soaked Yin Wuchen's sleeves.

Ruan Qiu didn't want Yin Wuchen to see his distressed appearance, and knew that double cultivation might be the best solution at this time, not to mention the harsh environment here, and he still had a fetus less than three months old in his womb, so he would definitely not agree to double cultivation here of.

Yin Wuchen had no such intentions either. If he hurt the fetus, Ruan Qiu's body would also be damaged. For the first time, he felt such a strong sense of powerlessness, so he could only hug Ruan Qiu, support his stiff back, and comfort him loudly. , "It's okay, it's okay."

After taking the three relief pills, they still had some effect. Gradually, Ruan Qiu's body stopped shaking, and he fell into Yin Wuchen's arms as if dehydrated, panting heavily, and half-closed his eyes weakly.

Yin Wuchen felt more and more distressed, and lowered his head to kiss Ruan Qiu's eyebrows, "Xiao Qiu."

Ruan Qiu wanted to respond, and opened his mouth, but he could only make a breathy sound.He was still in severe pain, only slightly weaker than before.He tried his best to gather some strength, and slowly covered the back of Yin Wuchen's hand with a trembling hand, his voice was extremely hoarse when he spoke.

"Master, it's alright..."

Yin Wuchen frowned, he had been paying attention to the ghost beads in Ruan Qiu's body, and knew that the ghost beads had gradually calmed down, but Ruan Qiu's body was already very weak, and it was visible to the naked eye that the pain on Ruan Qiu's body did not end there, "You It still hurts."

"I can't help it, just hold the ghost bead... that's fine." Ruan Qiu bit the corner of his lips when the pain was severe, the blood dried up, the lips were bright red, and his mouth was full of rust. He frowned and pulled Yin Wuchen hand, pressing it to his lower abdomen.

The ghost beads did not absorb Yin Wuchen's spiritual power as before, so Yin Wuchen let Ruan Qiu obediently, put his hand on his soft and flat belly, and asked softly, "Does your stomach feel uncomfortable too?"

Ruan Qiu said hoarsely: "Golden Light Curse..."

Yin Wuchen tried to probe into a ray of spiritual power, and saw a faint golden light floating on Ruan Qiu's lower abdomen. He didn't know why he panicked, so he hurriedly told Ruan Qiu, "It's okay, it's still there, and the child is fine!"

Ruan Qiu closed her eyes in peace, "Okay..."

His face was pale and pale, and he quietly leaned against Yin Wuchen's arms, telling Yin Wuchen to lower his voice unconsciously, "Go to sleep first."

Ruan Qiu took a breath, pulled himself together, opened a pair of bloodshot eyes, "No, I can't sleep..."

If you fall asleep, you will be controlled by ghost beads.

Yin Wuchen's eyes paused, and he stared at Ruan Qiu with a complicated expression for a moment, then held Ruan Qiu's weak hand in turn, lowered his head to the center of Ruan Qiu's eyebrows, and looked into his eyes so closely that he could easily see what was in Ruan Qiu's eyes. The color of dull confusion.

"Xiaoqiu, close your eyes."

Ruan Qiu blinked slowly, looked at Yin Wuchen's serious peach blossom eyes for a while, and then realized, although he didn't understand why Yin Wuchen asked him to close his eyes, he still closed them obediently.

"Close your eyes, what are you doing?"

Ruan Qiu closed his eyes and saw the darkness. He breathed a sigh of relief and expressed the doubt in his heart. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and bright stars lit up the darkness in front of him one after another. The nebula was bright, and the vast Milky Way was in front of him. Flow slowly.

He didn't open his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness had been drawn into Yin Wuchen's sea of ​​consciousness. Yin Wuchen was holding him and sitting on the shore. The end of the boundless sea was connected to the Milky Way.

Yin Wuchen looked down at Ruan Qiu, and tightened his arms around his thin waist, "Xiao Qiu, this place is still the way you like it."

Ruan Qiu stared blankly at the night sky, raised the corners of her lips, and sighed.

"Master..."

At the age of nine, after Yin Wuchen took the fire heart fruit for him, little Ruan Qiu, who had not officially started to practice, could hardly digest the strong medicinal properties of the fire heart fruit. He was in severe pain, probably even more uncomfortable than now. Die there.

That year, the nine-year-old Ruan Qiu expressed to Yin Wuchen, who actually met for the first time, the regret that he would not be able to see the light again until his death.

then……

Then, Yin Wuchen brought this realistic little blind man into his sea of ​​consciousness, allowing him to see a piece of night sky.But the invisible days are no different from the darkness, and little Ruan Qiu thought that his consciousness was also blind, so there was this galaxy.

For a blind man who can see the light again before he dies, even if it is just the inner realm of the sea of ​​consciousness that Yin Wuchen hastily built, he is satisfied.

Just like the blind man at the age of nine, when he saw the starry sky, Ruan Qiu suddenly forgot the pain in his body. He looked at the bright moon in the sky greedily, with a smile in his eyes, "Master, you know, when you let me see this What was I thinking when I was staring at the starry sky?"

At that time, little Ruan Qiu, who was lying alone under the starry sky, suddenly had a kind of eager yearning and expectation in her heart.

Yin Wuchen just couldn't bear to watch a child die in front of him and saved it. He didn't have a deep impression of the nine-year-old Ruan Qiu. Hearing this, he was also a little curious, "What are you thinking?"

Ruan Qiu looked at him with a hoarse voice, "I want to see you, Yin Wuchen."

At that time, he didn't know that the person who helped him steal the medicine would be Nie Wuhuan pretending to be Yin Wuchen, but what he wanted to see at that time was this Yin Wuchen who would shine into his eyes without warning when he was desperate.

Yin Wuchen was stunned, and stared fixedly at Ruan Qiu for a while, his eyes became more and more tender.

He gently brushed away the wet hair on Ruan Qiu's forehead, and coaxed: "Okay. You are tired, I will watch over you, rest assured and sleep for a while."

Ruan Qiu's breath was weak, and he was unable to say anything more. Staring at the starry sky for a moment, he was really relieved, leaning against Yin Wuchen's arms, the storm in the ghost city, the ghost bead's backlash, these seemed to be far away from him in an instant, he really tired.

He closed his eyes, and suddenly felt a warmth in his ears, and quickly retreated, only Yin Wuchen's warm voice coaxed softly, "Go to sleep."

The cold voice was like a hypnotic nocturne, Ruan Qiu slowly forgot the raging storm outside the old house, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

He has not had a good night's sleep for some days, subconsciously he is in a state of extreme exhaustion, a twilight is blurred in his dream, reflected on the mountain stream, Ruan Qiu standing by the bridge's eyes are a little dull, staring blankly look around.

There was no sound in the dream, it was too quiet, but there was a person standing on the bridge.

The man was wearing brocade clothes, because his back was facing Ruan Qiu, Ruan Qiu couldn't see his face clearly, he could only tell from his tall and straight back that he was a noble and young man.This is definitely not anyone Ruan Qiu knew. In his dream, he would not think too much like reality. He only followed his subconscious mind and walked there, but saw that the twilight was about to end, and a smaller figure rubbed against Ruan Qiu. He ran up the stone bridge and threw himself into the arms of the man.

Ruan Qiu stopped and looked at the couple embracing each other on the bridge. For some reason, she became more curious and walked up the stone bridge.

With their backs to him, the two stood on the bridge hugging like a still shadow puppet.Ruan Qiu didn't know what they were talking about, but as if eager to know what they were talking about, she walked behind the two of them, and reached out to pat the brocade-clothed man on the shoulder.

Unexpectedly, with just a light pat, the tall figure of the brocade-clothed man turned into powder.Looking at this scene, Ruan Qiu was stunned. An indescribable fear welled up in his heart, and he turned to look at the remaining girl in Tsing Yi, only to see that girl turned around slowly, with a pair of blood red eyes. His eyes broke into Ruan Qiu's sight without warning!

"No!"

Ruan Qiu woke up suddenly. When he opened his eyes, the flickering holes on the dilapidated roof hit his eyes, and the disturbing sound of thunder continued. Before he realized where he was, he felt a chill in his abdomen, and was about to He lowered his head and was pressed by a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't move, it's still close!"

It was Yin Wuchen's voice.

Ruan Qiu let out a long breath, wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, looked up, he was still lying on Yin Wuchen's snow-white robe in that dilapidated house.And Yin Wuchen was pinching two fingers, drawing a talisman on his lower abdomen with concentration, his handsome face was full of solemnity.

"Master?"

When Ruan Qiu made a sound, he was startled by his broken voice as if it had been run over by sand. He coughed lightly, and looked confusedly at the cold and shining talisman on his flat belly under his half-unbuttoned clothes.

Before the talisman was completed, a drop of cold sweat had quietly slipped from Yin Wuchen's forehead.

Finally, Yin Wuchen finished the last stroke, and the talisman disappeared under Ruan Qiu's white belly in the blink of an eye.

Yin Wuchen's figure flickered, and he almost fell down. Seeing this, Ruan Qiu stood up, hurriedly closed his clothes, and supported Yin Wuchen with both hands.

"Master, what's wrong with you?"

Yin Wuchen sat cross-legged on the spot, exercised his skills and adjusted his breath, Ruan Qiu waited patiently, only to realize later that the pain in his body was gone.

The horror of dreaming about those blood-red eyes just now, has been suppressed by this doubt, Ruan Qiu looked at his master's pale face, and caressed his abdomen thoughtfully.When he woke up, there was a warm breath in his stomach.

Not long after, Yin Wuchen withdrew his spiritual power, opened his eyes and looked at Ruan Qiu, and helped him to sit beside him, "Wake up, does it still hurt?"

Ruan Qiu shook his head, and worried again: "It doesn't hurt anymore, what did Master do?"

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt." Yin Wuchen sighed lightly, and suddenly hugged Ruan Qiu into his arms.

Ruan Qiu became more and more confused, and heard him say: "I drew a talisman on the Golden Light Curse to temporarily close the connection between the ghost bead and you and the child, but I am not proficient in this way, and the ghost mother must have someone who can control the ghost bead We need to find the ghost bead as soon as possible, so that we can truly solve its influence on you."

Yin Wuchen spoke so lightly, but his face was not good-looking. It can be seen that even for a sword master, it must be very difficult to do this.

Ruan Qiu had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, bit his lip, and wrapped his ring around Yin Wuchen's waist.

"Master, I just..."

"No."

Yin Wuchen interrupted him, stroking the soft long hair on the back of his head, "You are very good, you only slept for a stick of incense, and did nothing."

Ruan Qiu didn't know whether to believe it or not, he couldn't control himself in the dream at all, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, "Master, I just dreamed about those blood-red eyes again, is she really the ghost mother? Why is she always Break into my dream?"

Yin Wuchen's eyes sank, he let go of Ruan Qiu, supported him by the shoulders and said, "Ghost Mother has a vicious mind, and there are always many unexpected ways of torturing people, Xiao Qiu, don't be afraid, I will always guard you. After this In a few days, nothing will happen."

Ruan Qiu was worried, "Okay."

Suddenly, Yin Wuchen's expression changed slightly, he pulled Ruan Qiu up, and looked outside the door of the broken house where lightning and thunder continued, "Someone is coming."

There was a lot of noise outside, and Ruan Qiu couldn't hear anyone approaching at all, but Yin Wuchen protected him behind him as if facing an enemy.

Ruan Qiu asked in a low voice, "Who is it?"

Yin Wuchen didn't speak, but frowned.

As he said, Ruan Qiu stared at the door for a while, and saw a few black shadows reflected on the window paper by the electric light, only heard the thunder outside, and a thunderbolt struck the courtyard, followed by, A group of people appeared in front of the door through the storm.

The person walking in front was dressed in black and wore a ghost mask.

Although Ruan Qiu had fear and resentment towards Nie Wuhuan, but Nie Wuhuan had helped them before, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief for Nie Wuhuan when he saw someone emerge alive in this storm.

Nie Wuhuan was also very surprised to see them, "You are really here!"

However, Yin Wuchen's face was as cold as ice, "Who did you bring?"

Anyone else?

Ruan Qiu heard the words and looked towards the door.

A tall and thin black figure stood in front of the door, with long gray hair fluttering in the wind, and a mahogany crutch leaning on the door, it was Yin Wuchang.And Gui Nuer lay on his back, and when he saw them, he excitedly shook the copper bell in his hand and grinned.

"Found you!"

The author has something to say:
