Chapter 18: The Journey of Ink Jade

Views:

The day when Lin Rufei went down the mountain was set.

The most beloved younger brother in the family is going to go away. Brothers and sisters, naturally, they want to put all the best things on him. They have brought a full 500 talismans for sound transmission. You must know the price of this talisman. Expensive, five hundred copies can be worth the cost of a year in some small schools. Lin Bianyu even wanted to find a good sword for Lin Rufei, but Lin Rufei wandered around in her own warehouse, but didn't see a good one. , I can't even mention it myself.

The original ordinary blade was inserted into the sheath, but it seemed to be condensed with the sheath. Lin Rufei stretched out her hand, but did not move.

Lin Bianyu was so angry that he almost didn't discount all these shameless swords.

However, it doesn't seem to matter that there is no sword. Lin Rufei thinks that the peach branch is very useful, so she comforts Lin Bianyu, saying that the magic weapon he gave is enough.

Lin Bianyu was still gloomy, saying that the matter of letting Lin Rufei go down the mountain was actually the head of Wan Yao. Wan Yao said that this Kunlun Mountain was just a pool of stagnant water for Lin Rufei, and Lin Rufei's vitality was at the bottom of the mountain. With these words, seeing Lin Rufei defeat Wang Hao again, brothers and sisters, only then did they reluctantly accept Lin Rufei's trip down the mountain.

However, Lin Bianyu had a knot in his heart, the rivers and lakes were sinister, and he was afraid that Lin Rufei would never return, and he would never be able to see him again.

Lin Rufei knew it well, and said with a smile that Lin Bianyu didn't need to worry, and he could beat back a few more kings. Besides, there were so many kings in this world.

Lin Bianyu sighed silently.

In the past two or three days, the Xu Mi ring on Lin Rufei's hand has been stuffed to the brim, and all the things she wears have been replaced with magic weapons, and even her underwear is wrapped in a golden soft armor. Lin Rufei felt like a fully-armed king.

Based on what he was carrying at this time, when he encountered ordinary immortal cultivators, I was afraid that they would not even be able to break through Lin Rufei's outermost defense, let alone hurt him.

But the brothers and sisters were still very worried, and told him a lot of rules and regulations, saying that the wine given by outsiders should not be taken lightly, and the travelers encountered on the roadside should not be trusted easily. The contents of the virtual ring were enough for Lin Rufei to go straight back to Kunlun.

Lin Rufei was taught by the three of them in turn, her head was as big as a fight, and she had already wilted a lot before she went out. She was sitting on the chair and dozing off.

As a result, Lin Weirui grabbed her cheek and woke her up and repeated it again.

Lin Rufei didn't want to go with Fu Hua and Yu Rui, so the two little girls stopped talking and wept while watching him, but Yu Rui was easy to pass up, she put two pieces of candy corn in her mouth and she couldn't stop crying. . But Fu Hua is not easy to fool, looking at Lin Rufei sadly, crying while preparing her luggage for Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei's forehead hurt from crying, and she said, "Why are you crying?"

"Fuhua has taken care of the son for more than ten years. When the son is gone, he doesn't know when he will come back. Isn't he not allowed to shed two tears?" Fuhua choked out.

Lin Rufei felt guilty and quickly shut up.

Fuhua said again: "Why don't you want to take us there? We can still take care of your son's daily life along the way. Although it can't be of much help, if something really happens, at least there is someone to report."

Lin Rufei was about to say something, but Lin Minzhi, who was sitting beside him, opened his mouth and asked Lin Rufei to bring the floating flower jade. The two of them had already crossed the five realms of cultivation, so they wouldn't drag Lin Rufei down. If Lin Rufei was ill, they could still take care of her.

Lin Rufei couldn't refuse and was forced to accept it.

So the journey of the knights in which bamboo sticks and mans shoes beat the horses in the original imagination turned into a rich and noble son's spring tour.

On the day of departure, there was some light rain, and the mountain road was a little muddy.

Lin Minzhi and the others sent Lin Rufei to the town, and watched him get into a beautiful vermilion carriage, with floating flowers as a driver, wearing a hat and a sword around his waist, but he was more like a knight than Lin Rufei. . Lin Rufei was dressed in a white spring outfit, with black hair tied back with an ebony hairpin. He sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain, and looked at the three of Lin Minzhi standing by the roadside.

The three of them didn't open their umbrellas, the raindrops fell from the ends of their hair, and there was a shredded light. They looked at Lin Rufei with a tender and reluctant expression.

"Xiao Jiu - come back sooner." Lin Bianyu's voice was hoarse.

"Yes, come back sooner!" Lin Weirui rubbed her red eyes, "If you encounter someone bullying you, send a letter to us!"

"Go early and return early." Lin Minzhi also said.

"Okay—you wait for me to come back." Lin Rufei also felt a little sour in her heart, this was the first time he had left home in twenty years.

Floating flowers waved the whip, and the carriage gradually drifted away.

Lin Rufei was reluctant to put down the car curtain, and watched as the three figures gradually became smaller and blurred, and finally merged into the green mountain forest.

The rain gradually became a little heavier, and it fell on the roof of the carriage, making a crackling sound.

Yurui sat opposite Lin Rufei, and no one cared, she kept eating candy corn, stuffing her cheeks into a bulging pouch, like a gluttonous little mouse, she vaguely said: "Young master is going to Moyu first. ?"

Lin Rufei said: "Yes, go see Xie Zhiyao first."

"Moyu is close to Kunlun, and Yujian can arrive in half a day. It will take a little longer to walk the carriage, maybe a day or two." Yurui said, "But it doesn't matter, we have prepared a lot of things, even in the mountains and forests. There is nothing to be afraid of in the first half of the year.”

Lin Rufei said, "Your candy corn won't last for half a year."

Yurui immediately wrinkled her face when she heard the words. This corn candy is a specialty of Kunlun Xiazhen. It is soft and sticky, fragrant and sweet. She likes it the most. It's a big deal without the candy corn, but... It seems that if you can accompany the young master, it seems that the candy corn is not that important.

Thinking of this, Yurui became happy again, and chewed the soft candy in her mouth: "It's okay, if you don't have it, it's gone. When you want to eat, just look at the son a few more times, and you won't be greedy anymore."

Lin Rufei laughed.

The mountain road is sparsely populated and the road is bumpy. Fortunately, a special talisman is placed on the carriage, and it is as smooth as a flat ground when sitting on it. Lin Rufei was going down the mountain for the first time. She was both unfamiliar and curious about everything around her. She sat by the window and couldn't take her eyes away until the night was getting dark. He was just about to fall asleep.

The wind was a little cold tonight, and the floating flowers added a quilt to Lin Rufei, burned a pot of charcoal fire, and heated water for Lin Rufei to wash.

After Lin Rufei finished washing up, she lay down on the quilt in a single shirt, blinked her eyes and said, "It seems to be no different from the mountains."

Fuhua looked at Lin Rufei's cute face wrapped in the quilt, and smiled, "This is the first day of my journey, so don't worry, son."

Lin Rufei yawned and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the rain gradually became a little heavier, and the mountain wind was cold, and the blowing trees rustled.

However, in the sound of wind and rain, it seemed to be mixed with some other sounds. This sound was like the sound of music played by people, but it was not unpleasant, but in this dark night, it just seemed ghostly.

Lin Rufei's sleep was already light, but as soon as the sound appeared, she immediately woke up and saw Yu Rui lying on the table sleeping soundly. He called Fu Hua softly, and the maid replied, "Why did you wake up, son?"

"Did you hear anything?" Lin Rufei asked

Fu Hua was silent for a moment, then whispered: "It seems that the villagers living around the mountain road are holding a funeral."

Lin Rufei raised her hand and lifted the curtain of the car. Sure enough, on the dark mountain road, she saw a string of flickering firelights and figures walking through the firelight. These people were wearing white clothes and holding torches, walking on the dark mountain road. The first few people seemed to be carrying a black coffin.

"The pattern on the mourning clothes of this group of people looks familiar." Fu Hua murmured, "It seems that I have seen it somewhere."

Lin Rufei asked suspiciously, "Familiar?"

"Yeah." Fu Hua said, "The Xie family's pattern is very special. I remember it clearly after so many years... Those people did indeed have such patterns embroidered on the corners of their clothes."

The Xie family is a big family, with a strict family structure and many rules, especially the family members. The food and clothing expenses are all strictly in accordance with the regulations. This group of people has the Xie family pattern on the clothes. relation.

The two were talking, but the mourners on the mountain road noticed them, the fire stopped for a moment, and quickly gathered towards them.

Fu Hua frowned, grabbed the sword on his waist, and said, "Young Master, wait a moment, I'll go ask them what they want to do."

Lin Rufei said: "No hurry, just let them come over."

Those people really quickly reached the mountain road and surrounded Lin Rufei's carriage.

"Who?" the leader asked sharply, "Why are you still on the mountain road at this time?"

When Fu Hua heard his questioning tone, she frowned heavily, and was about to attack, but saw Lin Rufei shaking her head, motioning her to step back, Lin Rufei lifted the curtain of the car, and saw the person who stopped the carriage. Said: "I am Lin Rufei, the fourth son of the Lin family sent by Kunlun. I was ordered by the head to send the invitation to the next sword club for the Xie family."

Hearing this, the man looked slightly startled, and after observing it carefully, he cupped his hands and said, "Sorry, Young Master Lin, it was we who were abrupt, but it's not very peaceful in this area recently, Young Master remember this way. Be careful."

Lin Rufei raised her eyes to look at the dark coffin and asked, "I take the liberty to ask, who are you..."

The man hesitated, as if he didn't know whether to say it or not.

Lin Rufei didn't force her to say, "It's fine if you don't say anything, you all go, I'll continue on my way."

The man gritted his teeth, but still opened his mouth, he said, "We are mourning the family's eldest son, Xie Kongcheng."

Lin Rufei was stunned: "Thank you Kongcheng?"

"Yes." The man affirmed.

When Lin Rufei heard this, she knew that the Xie family must be in big trouble this time.

Xie Kongcheng is the eldest brother of Xie Zhiyao. It can be said that he is the most powerful person in the younger generation of the Xie family. With their cultivation base, it is absolutely impossible to die from illness, and it is only possible to be injured by external forces.

Looking at the embarrassed funeral of the Xie family in front of them in the middle of the night, this bloody case is by no means a simple grievance.

After saying goodbye to Xie's family, the carriage went on the road again. The rain was still falling, making the spring day a bit cold.

The author has something to say: Lin Rufei: What happened to Mr. Xie

Gu Xuandu: As soon as the people lie down and the cloth covers, the whole village will wait for the food to be served

Lin Rufei: …
