Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Shen Wukai's situation was indeed not very good, Lin Rufei lived in Shen's house for three days before finally seeing him.During this period, Lin Rufei and the Patriarch of the Shen family also met. From the Patriarch's tired face, it could be seen that things were not going well.The head of the family didn't say much to Lin Rufei, but simply described the situation that day. It turned out that Shen Wuji was wandering by the seaside with nothing to do, and met a strange swordsman. When the swordsman saw Shen Wukai, he was He didn't say anything, and moved his hands when he came up.It stands to reason that it is impossible for Shen Wuji, a swordsman of the seventh level, to be taken down by someone with a few tricks, but Shen Wuji was defeated easily. When Shen Wukai was found, he had already been stabbed in the lifeline by a sword, and he was almost unable to be saved.

Although the Patriarch of the Shen family said this incident with a calm expression, Lin Rufei could still feel the thrill from it.

"Mr. Lin came at a bit of an inappropriate time." The Patriarch of the Shen family smiled bitterly and sighed, "Otherwise, Wu Zhun will definitely receive him personally."

Lin Rufei said: "It's okay, it's because my sister was a little worried when she heard that Mr. Shen had an accident, so she asked me to hurry over and work overtime."

Patriarch Shen smiled: "It's been a long time since I saw Wei Rui, is she okay?"

"Very well, just before I left, I was dragged into the ancestral hall by my elder brother and beaten up." Lin Rufei betrayed her sister without hesitation.

Patriarch Shen laughed loudly when he heard the words, and told Lin Rufei to stay in peace for a few days, and invite him to meet Shen Wukai after he recovered from his injuries, but it is best not to wander around, after all, the murderer who hurt others has not yet turn up.Lin Rufei nodded in agreement.

The two chatted for a while, and then Patriarch Shen was called over by other matters. It could be seen that he was indeed very busy, but considering the relationship between Shen and Lin's family, he still took time to meet Lin Rufei alone.

Although Lin Rufei was worried that Shen Wukai might not have much to do, so she simply took a rest for two days.He spent most of these two days by the seaside. As a person who has never seen the sea, he has to say that this place is too novel.

In Lin Rufei's eyes, the reefs, small fish, shells, and even ordinary seaweeds on the beach are endowed with magical power.He likes to step on the soft sand with bare feet, watching the small crabs shrunk in the conch shells. With a light touch of his finger, they will shrink back into the shell in horror.On the coast, you can often see beautiful small fish, most of which are colorful, which are very different from the inland fish.Gu Xuandu sat lazily on the reef next to him, and introduced these fish to Lin Rufei seriously, but the content of the introduction was not very romantic, most of them said that this fish tasted good, and that fish could not be eaten.

Lin Rufei didn't know what to say, she looked at Gu Xuandu and asked, did senior eat all these fish?

"Almost." Gu Xuandu said, "I was born on the seashore. The seaside has the most fish. I almost vomited."

Lin Rufei said: "Senior was born in Yaoguang?"

"No." Gu Xuandu said, "I was born in Xuandu."

Lin Rufei showed surprise.The Xuandu Continent is next to Yaoguang, and there is a wide ocean between the two continents, and few people can travel between the two continents.Because not only the waves are turbulent, but also there are countless ferocious monsters on the bottom of the sea, if you want to go back and forth between the two places, it is simply life and death.Gu Xuandu is the most prestigious Heavenly Monarch in Yaoguang Continent, but he was not born in Yaoguang, but from Xuandu. Lin Rufei was naturally a little surprised by this, and before he could ask, Gu Xuandu continued: "At that time, I was still young and was adopted by an old man. I came to Yaoguang from Xuandu, and I never went back after that."

Lin Rufei said: "The old man brought the young senior from Yaoguang to Xuandu?" He said this, but he thought in his heart how powerful that man must be, not only passing through this vast sea area by himself, He even brought a little doll with no power to restrain the chicken.

Gu Xuandu said: "He is indeed powerful." He said lightly, "At least he is much stronger than me."

A person who is more powerful than Tianjun?Does it really exist?In Lin Rufei's impression, Tianjun is already an insurmountable strong man, he said: "Then where is he now?"

"Dead." Gu Xuan spat out two words.

Lin Rufei was dumbfounded.

Gu Xuandu looked at Lin Rufei, with a faint smile on his face, but what he said was heart-wrenching: "He is too kind-hearted, and he always doesn't want people to suffer. You know, such a person, alive When you are tired, you will be very miserable when you die."

Lin Rufei said softly, "Sorry."

"It's nothing." Gu Xuandu waved his hands, without a look of sadness on his face, and said, "But it's okay now?"

Lin Rufei was taken aback for a moment: "Okay?"

Gu Xuandu said warmly: "Fortunately, there are fish to eat."

Lin Rufei showed a look of confusion.

However, for the last lunch, it was the fish that Gu Xuandu caught from the sea. He already knew what kind of fish tasted like the palm of his hand. It was not difficult for him to catch fish. He picked up the fish, touched some beautiful shells, and gave them to Lin Rufei with a smile.The shells in the deep sea are naturally unmatched by the sea. Lin Rufei took them in surprise, carefully hid them in her arms, and put them on the table in the house for viewing.Seeing this, Fuhua smiled and asked the young master where he found such a beautiful shell.

Lin Rufei said, "Someone gave it to me."

"Give it away?" Yu Rui's eyes lit up, she blinked and said, "Young Master, you can't randomly pick up shells from the seaside."

Lin Rufei said: "How to say?"

Yurui said: "I heard that there was a rule here. It was said that the conditions in the fishing village were not good in the past. If the person you like can't come up with a dowry, you will go to the deep sea to find the most beautiful shell and give it to your lover as a dowry. If you accept it, the two of you will count it as a gift..."

Lin Rufei stared and said, "But I'm a man."

Yurui smiled and said: "Both men and women are the same. Didn't you see that there are many girls picking shells on those fishing boats in the daytime? Seeing that the shells in your hand are so unique, I think that person spent a lot of time picking them." Woolen cloth."

When Yurui said this, Gu Xuandu also listened, he propped his chin, didn't make a sound, just stared at Lin Rufei with such interest.It stands to reason that Lin Rufei should have gotten used to it long ago, but his ears were still reddened by Gu Xuandu's eyes. He gritted his teeth to pretend to be calm, and asked Fuhua what he had for dinner.

Fuhua said: "Eat the fish. Didn't the young master bring back a lot of fish?" She smiled, "The girl who gave the young master the shells gave it to the young master together? These fish are so strange, I have never seen them before." Well, but come to think of it, the shells are so beautiful, and the fish must taste good."

Lin Rufei couldn't take it anymore, so she pushed the two maids out of the room and drove them to cook.

Facts have proved that what Fuhua and Yurui said is correct. Although the fish Gu Xuandu caught were strange in shape, they all tasted quite good.Because it is very fresh, just steaming it is delicious enough, Lin Rufei tasted a piece and was full of praise.

The three masters and servants were eating fish when Chi Yu, who had escaped halfway yesterday, appeared at the window again with his cub in his mouth.

Throwing the cub onto the table and circling the fish in front of her again, Lin Rufei wanted to feed Chi Yu something, but Chi Yu refused.

"I don't want to eat." Chi Yu squinted his eyes and said disgustedly, "This Shen family smells very bad, I have no appetite."

Lin Rufei said, "It stinks?"

"Yeah." Chi Yu said, "I smelled the stench of corpses before I came in." He clicked his tongue and pushed his wailing son, "If it weren't for this little thing, I wouldn't Come in."

Lin Rufei sniffed hard with her nose, but she didn't smell what Chi Yu said at all.

Chi Yu said disdainfully: "Stop sniffing, you are human."

Lin Rufei spread her hands: "Why don't you feed your son first?"

Chi Yu flicked his tail, signaling that it was okay.

Lin Rufei hugged Maozai into her arms, rubbed its little head, and then asked Fuhua to bring over the extra fish, and fed them all to kittenzai.The kitten was full, and as soon as he showed satiety, Chi Yu jumped onto the window with his mouth in his mouth. He turned to Lin Rufei and said, "You should leave here early, it's so disgusting." After speaking, he turned around and jumped Gone, it seems that I am really tired of this place.

"Do you smell anything?" Lin Rufei asked the maids.

Fuhua Yurui's faces were all blank, and they shook their heads together.

Several people were talking, but there was a commotion outside. Along with several people shouting loudly, Lin Rufei vaguely heard that someone seemed to call: Hurry up and call for a doctor——

Lin Rufei walked to the window and saw the chaos outside. He guessed that something happened to Shen Wukai, but he had no way of knowing.

"What's the matter with the Shen family?" Lin Rufei remembered what Gu Xuandu had mentioned yesterday, smelled a familiar smell, and asked in a low voice.

Gu Xuandu squinted his eyes and said, "Let's go and see the situation of Mr. Shen first."

Lin Rufei said: "Okay."

Although she wanted to see Shen Wuji, it was really not an easy task. Lin Rufei made a request, and after another day, she was arranged to meet Shen Wuji.

Before the two met, Lin Rufei was carefully instructed by the doctor, saying that he should try not to let Mr. Shen talk too much. Although he woke up, his injuries were still not very good. He responded without showing any impatience.But Patriarch Shen was still a little embarrassed, saying Mr. Lin was not to blame.

Lin Rufei smiled and said, "It's already good to see Mr. Shen, what's so strange about it?"

Patriarch Shen nodded in satisfaction.

As an important heir of the Shen family, Shen Wukai, the place where he was recuperating was heavily guarded. Lin Rufei finally entered the back room after going through several guards, but as soon as he stepped into the door, Lin Rufei felt bad.Because the room was filled with not only the smell of medicine, but also a faint smell of rotting blood. Although this smell was mixed with the strong smell of medicine, it was still captured by Lin Rufei.

At this time, more than ten days had passed since Shen Wuji was injured, but Shen Wuji's wound was actually corrupted, and Shen Wuji's condition was very bad.

Although she had been mentally prepared before, Lin Rufei's heart still skipped a beat.

Turning a corner, Lin Rufei finally saw Shen Wukai lying on the bed.It is midsummer now, but the cooling in the house is done well, there are a lot of ice cubes in the four corners, Shen Wuji is lying on the bed, wearing a white underwear, the underwear is not completely fastened, revealing the waist wrapped in white cloth It can be seen faintly that there are dark red blood stains in the white cloth.

Shen Wukai's face was pale and his breath was weak. When he saw Lin Rufei coming, he still forced himself to smile at him, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm really sorry that Mr. Lin came so far away and couldn't receive him."

"Stop moving." Lin Rufei said hastily, "Don't drag the wound."

Shen Wukai said: "It's nothing serious."

Lin Rufei thought that you are fine, but it is really not convincing, but she didn't argue with Shen Wukai, she just sat down beside him.As soon as he sat down, the smell of corruption became stronger, as if the wound had not been healed.

Shen Wukai said, "I don't know how your sister is doing recently?"

Lin Rufei said: "She is very well, but she is a little worried about you." He hesitated for a moment, and said, "Mr. Shen, can you tell me what the swordsman who hurt you that day looked like?"

"Appearance?" Shen Wukai said, "He's a young man, he doesn't look more than ten years old, but his swordsmanship is very fierce. If you have to say something special..."

Lin Rufei said: "What?"

Shen Wukai said: "That's why I can't see through his cultivation." He also showed some doubts.

"How is this possible?" Lin Rufei said incredulously, "Young Master Shen can't see through that person's cultivation?"

"Yes, I didn't even notice that person's aura." Shen Wukai said, "From his appearance to his disappearance, I... couldn't feel his existence."

Lin Rufei frowned: "Could it be that that person has some powerful magic weapon?"

Shen Wukui shook his head and stopped talking.

It seems that his vitality was indeed severely injured, but it was very laborious to say a few words. Although Lin Rufei wanted to ask more details, she couldn't bear to disturb Shen Wukai anymore. It happened that the doctor came in to change Shen Wukai's medicine , Lin Rufei took a step back and stood beside her.

But when the doctor lifted the white cloth wrapped by Shen Wuji, revealing the wound between Shen Wukui's waist and abdomen, Lin Rufei still took a deep breath.I saw that there was a big hole in Shen Wuji's abdomen, and the muscles around him that were injured by the sharp weapon showed no signs of healing. Not only that, but they also showed signs of corruption. Shen Wukai closed his eyes and whispered. Said: "Is it still not working?"

The doctor shook his head in embarrassment.

"That's all." Seeing this scene, Shen Wukai looked very calm, and said lightly, "This is my Shen Wukai's fate."

The doctor said: "My lord, you don't have to be too pessimistic, as long as you catch that swordsman and interrogate him to find out what kind of poison he used, then you can..."

Shen Wukai smiled, but it was self-deprecating: "I, a swordsman of the seventh realm, can't go under him once, what will the Shen family do to catch him?" He let out a breath, and said, "You... My father should not speak too seriously, so as not to worry him."

The doctor dared not answer.

Shen Wukui didn't speak anymore, and continued to close his eyes and meditate.

The process of changing the dressing was very slow and painful. After changing the dressing, the only trace of blood left on Shen Wuji's face could not be seen. Lin Rufei knew that the situation was not good, and was extremely anxious. She didn't want to disturb Shen Wuji anymore. He planned to leave with the doctor, but was stopped by Shen Wuji.

"Mr. Lin." Shen Wuji called out in a low voice, "I have something to ask."

Lin Rufei said: "Young Master Shen, please tell me."

Shen Wukai stretched out his hand, and took out something from the bedside cabinet with difficulty, and put it in front of Lin Rufei. Lin Rufei took a closer look, but it was a beautiful purse.The purse was embroidered with two ducks showing their teeth and claws, Lin Rufei hesitated: "This duck purse..."

Shen Wukai said weakly: "This is a mandarin duck."

Lin Rufei: "..." Sorry, he didn't mean it.

"Your sister embroidered it." Probably aware of Lin Rufei's embarrassing expression, Shen Wukai smiled softly, "She gave it to me, and I tricked her into losing it...you...for me Give it back to her."

Lin Rufei felt that the matter was not good when she heard it, and was about to speak to persuade, but Shen Wukai waved his hand and said calmly: "I know what you want to say, don't try to persuade me, if I can get better, I will hand it over to you. If your sister can't get better, you can replace me."

Lin Rufei said: "You will definitely get better."

Shen Wukai smiled but said nothing, but there was a bit of sadness in the smile, he didn't speak any more, and closed his eyes tiredly.

Lin Rufei was clutching her purse, and when she came out of the back room, she frowned and didn't speak for a long while.It wasn't until he reached a place where there was no one that he quickly asked Gu Xuandu, saying: "Senior, who exactly hurt Mr. Shen, and why was it so bad—can you find him—"

Gu Xuandu frowned and said: "But even if you find him, Mr. Shen may not be saved."

"Why??" Lin Rufei was stunned, "Isn't Mr. Shen poisoned? As long as you find the person who poisoned you..."

"That's not an ordinary poison." Gu Xuandu said, "It's corpse poison."

Lin Rufei said, "Corpse poison?"

Gu Xuandu said: "That's right, the poison only exists on the corpse." He sighed, and said, "I... will try my best to help you find it. As for whether you can find it, it depends on Mr. Shen's fortune." He paused for a moment, touched his chin, and thought, "Maybe you call Chi Yu, he should be more sensitive to this kind of thing, and the efficiency may be faster than me."

Lin Rufei thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, senior will help me find it first, and I'll see if I can ask Chi Yu to help me."

Chiyu's cub needs to be fed twice a day, once at noon, and will definitely come again at night. Gu Xuan has disappeared, presumably looking for someone, and Lin Rufei is waiting anxiously at home, Zai Yu came early, saw Lin Rufei circling like a headless chicken, and asked critically, "What are you wandering around for?"

Lin Rufei heard his voice and hurriedly said, "Chi Yu! Can I trouble you to do me a favor?"

Chi Yu narrowed his eyes: "You are a human, and you want me, a demon, to help you? Did I hear you right?"

Lin Rufei said: "Yes..."

Chi Yu lazily licked his paw, lazily interrupted Lin Rufei, and said, "Tell me what it is first, and then I will consider whether I can help you."

Lin Rufei then told the story of Shen Wukai, emphasizing his serious poison.

"Oh, so you want to find the source of the smell, right?" Chi Yu said.

Lin Rufei nodded.

"Then if I help you, how will you repay me?" Chi Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei said, "What do you want?"

Chi Yu said: "Tsk, I'm afraid you can't give me what I want."

Lin Rufei sighed, and after thinking for a moment, said seriously: "Why don't you help me find that person, and I will promise you a request. As long as you don't do evil and don't hurt other people's lives, I will try my best to help you achieve it."

Chi Yu looked at Lin Rufei for a long time, just when Lin Rufei thought he would not agree, the tapir stretched his waist and said, "Okay."

Then he threw the kitten who was playing next to Fuhua into Fuhua's arms, raised his chin at Lin Rufei, and signaled him to come with him.

Lin Rufei stepped out of the room.

Probably thinking that Lin Rufei would not be able to keep up with him if he ran too fast, Chi Yu deliberately set his pace, and led Lin Rufei all the way out of the mirage, towards the sea.

At this time, the sun had already set, and the original blue sea water turned into a deep black, and the sand and reef were slapped vigorously, causing bursts of splashing water sounds.If the sea in the daytime is gentle and tolerant, then the sea in the night is like a terrifying abyss, as if it wants to swallow everything that comes close.

"That smell came from this direction." Chi Yu's sense of smell was really keen, and he led Lin Rufei all the way forward without any hesitation, but his expression was a little displeased, as if he felt that the smell was very disgusting , he said, "If you find that person, what do you want to do?"

Lin Rufei said: "Since he poisoned him, he should have an antidote. If not, we can only take him back first and then talk about other things." A dead horse is a living horse doctor, look at Shen Wukai I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for too long, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious and come to ask Chi Yu for help.

"Take it back?" Chi Yu said, "Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to beat him?"

Lin Rufei said, "You have to try."

Chi Yu looked at Lin Rufei critically, and said dissatisfied: "You human beings really don't know how much you weigh, that thing can beat Mr. Shen into such a state, even if you find him, you will still deliver food. "

Lin Rufei was noncommittal, and said flatly, "Let's find out."

Chi Yu said, "Trouble."

Although he disliked Lin Rufei's overreaching so much, his pace did not slow down. Soon, the lights of the mirage behind him were getting farther and farther away from them. Lin Rufei followed Chi Yu and ran along the seashore for a long time. The surrounding scenery became more and more unfamiliar.

There are no lights and no human smoke around, only the waves of the sea and the noisy insects are left.It was getting darker and darker, Chi Yu's footsteps gradually slowed down, his expression became serious, his blood-red eyes were like two beautiful night pearls in the darkness, he suddenly said: "The smell is getting stronger and stronger, then The thing is nearby." He turned his head and glanced at Lin Rufei, "Let me remind you first, this thing must be unusual, it is so far away, and the smell of Shen's house is so strong, if you are injured by him, you may He died faster than Mr. Shen... Lin Rufei, you have to think about it."

Lin Rufei said: "I've already made up my mind, let's lead the way."

Chi Yu said no more, turned around and jumped into a desolate reef, which was covered with moss and was very slippery, Lin Rufei had to slow down and walk slowly.But fortunately, Chi Yu didn't go very far, so he suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "It's just ahead, did you see it?"

Lin Rufei looked carefully, and under the moonlight, he saw a person sitting on the rock with his back turned to him, and the image of the black back was a mass of black ink stains.
