Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Chapter 37: Eyes of the Blood Moon

Views:

Although it was night, Mo Zhaocai was like a dexterous hound, traversing the rugged mountain road with ease. He was probably afraid that Lin Rufei would be separated from himself, and he was holding Lin Rufei by the corner of his clothes along the way. Constantly whispering the direction.

"Young Master, the grass is deep here, you can be careful!" Mo Zhaocai gasped.

Lin Rufei's body was already weak, so she followed Mo Zhaocai for a while, her breathing was a little short at this moment, and Mo Zhaocai's pace slowed down a little, so he made time to speak, and said in a hoarse voice: "Those things don't seem to follow."

"It doesn't seem to be." Mo Zhaocai looked behind him, and seeing that he couldn't see those terrifying eyeballs, he breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "What the hell are those things, I thought I was there nightmare..."

Lin Rufei said, "Where are we now?"

Mo Zhaocai looked around, and there were dense forests all around. At this time, the light was so dark that he could hardly recognize the road under his feet. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I don't know, it seems that I got lost."

With a solemn expression, Lin Rufei took out the paper crane with the message from the ring and sent it out.

After a while, Zhihe came back with the news of Fu Hua. Fu Hua said that Lin Rufei should not worry, they had already cleaned up most of the eyeballs, and planned to cut the weeds down and let Lin Rufei stay. Don't move where you are, and when you're done with these things, come to find him.

Seeing that the maid was fine, Lin Rufei breathed a sigh of relief. However, Mo Zhaocai, who was standing beside him, became nervous and said, "Young Master Lin, Young Master Lin, come here, squat in the grass, don't talk—"

Before Lin Rufei could react, he pressed her shoulders and forced it into the haystack. He was wondering when he heard rustling footsteps not far away.

Lin Rufei followed the gap in the grass and saw a group of people walking in this direction. These people were all carrying exaggerated large knives, wearing simple short shirts, and their whole body exuded a bloody smell. No matter how you look at it, it's not good.

The man in the lead had an even fiercer face, and even through the dim moonlight, he could see an exaggerated scar running across his cheek, making him look particularly grim. Several people were all looking around, as if they were looking for something.

"These people are all mountain bandits." Mo Zhaocai was extremely nervous, and whispered in Lin Rufei's ear, "They are all bad things that kill people without blinking an eye. If they find out, we will be finished."

Lin Rufei nodded, indicating that she understood.

The two squatted in the grass, trying their best to cover their figure with a haystack, watching the group of people slowly walk past their eyes. It seemed that luck was better. Lin Rufei breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the last person disappearing in front of her. Mo Zhaocai was even more so. He sat on the ground and gasped, "It scared me to death, I was scared to death, I thought the two of us were going to explain it here."

Lin Rufei said, "You know them?"

"I don't know, but I know the knives in their hands." Mo Zhaocai said in a trembling voice, "They should be owl heads. The pattern engraved on the knives is something I can't forget even when I die..."

"Why can't you forget it?"

"Of course I can't forget it. I saw with my own eyes that they cut off the heads of an entire caravan." Mo Zhaocai said, "That blood... Wait..." His relaxed expression suddenly froze. , because he suddenly realized that the person who asked "Why can't you forget it" was not Lin Rufei next to him, but came from behind him.

Lin Rufei and Mo Zhaocai turned around together and saw a dozen bandits standing behind them.

The man in the lead had a wicked smile on his face. Seeing the pale faces of the two, he smiled and said, "Oh, it seems that we are lucky to find such two little guys."

Mo Zhaocai screamed, turned around and wanted to run, but was kicked directly to the ground by the man. Lin Rufei stood there and didn't move. The man walked in front of him, almost face to face. He looked at it for a while: "Where did this beautiful young man come from, how did he come to Xiliang Mountain in such a dark night."

Lin Rufei pursed her lips slightly, but did not speak.

Mo Zhaocai cried: "Big brother, big brother, you have spared us a lot, we are just FITs in the past, and we don't have any money with us."

The man ignored Mo Zhaocai at all, with a wave of his hand, his subordinates took out a rope and tied Mo Zhaocai firmly, and then to Lin Rufei, he laughed and said, "Little Master, are you? Go by yourself, or shall I do it?"

Lin Rufei said calmly, "I'll just go by myself." After speaking, she coughed twice, and her face, which was not very good, turned even paler.

Seeing his frail body, the man laughed wickedly. He said, "We're going fast, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up, young master." He stretched out his hand and lifted Lin Rufei directly, Lin Rufei's eyes He turned around in an instant, and was about to grit his teeth and say something, but he was slashed on the neck with a hand knife, and he fainted neatly.

When Mo Zhaocai saw this scene, he showed a frightened look in his eyes, but the man smiled straight at him. He said, "Although I didn't find what I wanted, it was an unexpected gain."

Speaking of which, the others carried Mo Zhaocai up, and they soon disappeared into the forest.

When Fuhua and Yurui arrived, the place was empty, and the maids were fighting, blood and murderous aura all over their bodies.

"Where's the son?" Yurui screamed.

"There are other people's breaths here! Some people have come!" Fu Hua said, "Go, follow the breath to find it!"

The two put their swords away, with a ferocious expression like a Rakshasa, and chased all the way in the direction where the bandits left.

When Lin Rufei woke up, she found herself lying on a soft bed, and her head was aching after a knife was cut. He got up from the bed, looked around, and saw Mo Zhao who was almost tied into a crab in the corner. fiscal.

Seeing that he woke up, Mo Zhaocai almost didn't cry: "Young Master, you finally woke up, I thought you had an accident!"

Lin Rufei rubbed her neck and whispered, "Where are we?"

Mo Zhaocai said honestly: "In the bandit cave."

Lin Rufei was silent for a moment, then said, "What do they want?"

Mo Zhaocai said, "Are you asking me or you?"

Lin Rufei asked curiously, "What's the difference?"

Mo Zhaocai said bitterly: "Of course it's different, I'm just a helpless poor bastard, the bandits probably killed me with one knife, but when they meet you, they must be reluctant, I heard that their boss is not meat and vegetables. Ji, I like pretty people the most, Madam Yazhai alone is in her twenties—"

Lin Rufei didn't react: "What do you mean?"

"It means that he wants to marry you." Mo Zhaocai said sadly, how did he find that this beautiful young man was a little dull today.

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

Mo Zhaocai said: "You don't understand this. Men can do without girls. Besides, there are people who like men... Especially the young master, you have a good figure and a beautiful appearance."

Lin Rufei's frail and slender body, handsome face, coupled with the extravagance that ordinary people can see, is simply the favorite target of mountain bandits. But obviously, the young master in front of him couldn't understand this at all, and he sat on the bed with a ghostly expression on his face.

The two were talking when a man walked in. It was the one who knocked Lin Rufei out just now. When he saw Lin Rufei, he smiled and said, "Awake?"

Lin Rufei looked at him and said nothing.

The man said, "Come here, no matter what status you were in the past, you are mine now." He walked up to Lin Rufei, reached out and tried to squeeze Lin Rufei's chin, but Lin Rufei frowned and avoided it. .

"Yo, still hiding, it's a little fun, I like hot beauties, otherwise it looks like a dead fish, it's meaningless." The man said, showing an evil smile, Lin Rufei's body, he just now I've seen it before, it's light and fluffy, it's not as heavy as his sword, it doesn't look like someone who has practiced it at all, plus there is no sword will on his body, it is estimated that he is a rich and noble son of an ordinary family, but he gave birth to a beautiful pair. It's so good looking, it makes my heart ache.

"Spring supper is short, let's not waste time." The man reached out and grabbed Lin Rufei's hand, wanting to put him on the bed.

Lin Rufei had already suffered a loss just now. She had already gained experience now. She shrank back and took out a black wooden shield from the ring with her right hand. She raised her hand and pointed it towards the man's head. . Although the man didn't know where his wooden shield came from, he laughed when he saw his movement, raised his hand and wanted to grab it, as if he felt that Lin Rufei's wooden shield looked powerless. It's easy to stop.

Mo Zhaocai couldn't bear to close his eyes. He was afraid that Lin Rufei would completely anger the bandits. At that time, he might have to suffer even more.

But who knows, with his eyes closed, he heard a crackling sound, followed by a muffled groan from the bandit. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Lin Rufei holding the wooden shield innocently, while the bandit's arm showed a A distorted shape, the person fell directly on the bed, and has long lost consciousness.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Mo Zhaocai was surprised, and even spoke the dialect.

"I just tried it. I didn't expect to use such a heavy hand." Before Lin Rufei went up the mountain, she and Gu Xuan were both learning how to attach sword qi to foreign objects. Ba Qun, he stretched out his hand to probe the breath of the mountain bandit, and confirmed that he was still alive, "I thought I killed him by smashing him to death."

Mo Zhaocai's eyes were about to pop out.

"Your shield is quite useful." Lin Rufei raised the wooden shield in her hand and said seriously, "A medium spiritual stone is quite worth it."

Mo Zhaocai didn't say a word for a long time, and finally said with a blushing face: "Young master, let me go first, or someone will come in later..."

Lin Rufei nodded, then loosened Mo Zhaocai's binding, and the two tied up the bandit with a broken arm, and tightly gagged his mouth with a towel.

After doing all this, Lin Rufei was sweating all over, and sat beside her and rested slightly panting.

Mo Zhaocai quietly touched the door, looked at the movement outside, turned back and whispered, "Sir, what should I do, there is someone guarding the door."

Lin Rufei said, "How many?"

Mo Zhaocai said, "I just saw one."

Lin Rufei thought for a while, then raised her hand and slapped the bandit who had been knocked out. The bandit woke up in a daze and saw Lin Rufei and Mo Zhao standing in front of her. The post-financial conditioned reflex wanted to say harsh words, but who knew that something was firmly stuffed in his mouth, and he didn't hold back a word for a long time.

Lin Rufei took out a dagger from her Xuna ring and put it directly on his neck. He couldn't control his strength too much, and he directly scratched a clear blood mark on his skin, and hurriedly said: "Sorry, The first time I use it, I am not very skilled."

The bandit looked terrified.

"I will open your mouth, but you are not allowed to make a sound, or I will chop off your head with one knife." Lin Rufei said slowly, "Nod your head when you understand."

The bandit nodded slowly.

Lin Rufei gave Mo Zhaocai a wink, Mo Zhaocai carefully pulled out the strip of cloth that was blocking the mouth of the bandit, the bandit gasped a few times, and then hissed, "You two are killed. I can't leave here!"

Lin Rufei looked at him and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"Haha, I know that you have some ways to banish immortals. These methods are enough to deal with mortals like me, but if you want to deal with the things in the mountains, it's still far behind." The mountain bandit sneered, "Don't think I don't know about you. Why did you come?"

Lin Rufei asked curiously, "Oh, do you know where that thing is?"

"Who doesn't know the location of that thing?" the mountain bandit said, "Just knowing is one thing, getting it is another."

Lin Rufei pondered for a moment and was about to ask again, but Mo Zhaocai suddenly became nervous, pointed to the outside and said, "Master, someone is coming this way!"

His words fell, and there were messy footsteps outside. Then someone knocked heavily on the door, and someone called, "Brother Wang, are you finished?"

It turned out that the mountain bandit surnamed Wang, Lin Rufei sent the dagger in his hand forward, raised his chin slightly, and signaled him to say what he should say, so the mountain bandit Wang said in a rough voice: "Fuck your mother, As a reminder, you think I'm your kid, and it's over in two clicks?"

The people outside the door burst into laughter.

"Let's go first, I'll come right after I'm done." He turned to look at Lin Rufei and said.

"Yo, it seems that the pretty little boy is quite to your liking." The man said, "Then remember to hurry up, those two women have already been led over."

"I see, I'll come in another round." The mountain bandit responded.

The outsider seemed to be used to his behavior, and didn't find it strange, so he turned and left.

After the footsteps completely disappeared, Lin Rufei said, "Two women? Who are the two women they were talking about?"

The mountain bandit said: "It is said that they are two exiled immortals who have cultivated in the five realms. I don't know the specifics..."

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated. Since they went up the mountain, they have been stared at, and the people staring at them seem to be involved in the things that affect Gu Xuandu.

After Lin Rufei thought for a moment, he bargained with the bandit and asked him to take him to that place. The bandit responded immediately, saying that as long as he didn't kill him, he would be willing to take Lin Rufei and Mo Zhaocai out.

"Young Master, don't believe him, this mountain bandit can't believe a word." At this moment, Mo Zhaocai suddenly opened his mouth and said anxiously, "If you let him out, he will definitely break his promise. , took our lives."

When the bandit heard Mo Zhaocai say this, he laughed: "If you don't take me, you can't even find your way out, so how can you save those two women?"

"If you say we can't find it, we can't find it?" Mo Zhaocai said disdainfully, "It's not bragging, as long as someone walks past me, even if it's been a long time, I can follow their trail all the way, where is it? I still need you!"

Since Mo Zhaocai can find a way, the bandit in front of him is indeed useless.

Lin Rufei looked at the dagger in her hand, and the bandit felt a sense of fear, and was about to ask for mercy, when Mo Zhaocai gagged her mouth with a cloth.

In the end, it was the first time that Lin Rufei had killed herself. Lin Rufei was still a little hesitant. Mo Zhaocai was very anxious when he saw this. He seemed to be afraid that Lin Rufei would be soft-hearted. The bandit was stabbed in the neck.

This knife stabbed directly into the main artery of the mountain bandit, and the blood was extremely high, and it was stained with Lin Rufei. Lin Rufei took a step back, frowned and looked at Mo Zhaocai.

Mo Zhaocai hurriedly said, "Young Master, I'm afraid that you won't be able to deal with it..." This Lin Rufei really didn't look like she could kill someone. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to deal with it, so he simply dealt with this person neatly.

Lin Rufei said, "At least say something before you start." He pointed to the blood on his body, "It's all over me."

Mo Zhaocai was dumbfounded, he thought that Lin Rufei would blame him, but he did not expect to say such a sentence.

"Also." Lin Rufei continued, "You just killed him like that, but the people outside haven't solved it yet."

Mo Zhaocai then remembered that there was still someone guarding the door, raised his hand and scratched his head in a panic, sighing.

Lin Rufei glanced at him thoughtfully, but didn't say anything to him, just took out a talisman from her ring and told Mo Zhaocai how to use the talisman.

This talisman was left to Lin Rufei by her sister Lin Weirui before she left Kunlun. Most of the things she gave were bizarre but very practical things. For example, as long as this talisman was attached to the person, that person would Couldn't move for half an hour.

"I'll come, son." Mo Zhaocai said, "I'm flexible, so I can definitely stick to it."

Lin Rufei handed the talisman in her hand to Mo Zhaocai.

Mo Zhaocai really lived up to expectations, and opened the door lightly. Before the man could react, he was touched by him and directly put the talisman on it.

Lin Rufei followed Mo Zhaocai out of the house. The two were about to leave, but Mo Zhaocai suddenly stopped and said hesitantly, "Young Master, wait for me for a while."

Lin Rufei said, "Huh?"

Mo Zhaocai said, "I will come back when I go."

He turned around and ran into another room. When he came back, there was a huge package behind him, which was the one he was carrying before.

"Hey, I thought I lost it." Mo Zhaocai touched his nose and smiled, "It turned out to be in the next room. I'm really lucky."

"Luck is not bad." Lin Rufei's words were quite meaningful.

Mo Zhaocai said: "Then let's go, don't be discovered by others."

The guards in this bandit village were very lax, and most of the people in it had left. Lin Rufei suspected that the place where these people went was the same place that Fuhua Yurui was led to, but she didn't know what they wanted to do. , why are you staring at the two exiled immortals who are cultivated in the five realms

Mo Zhaocai did have an extraordinary talent in finding his way.

He looked east and west, and took Lin Rufei out of the bandit village with ease, while avoiding many patrolling people. Arriving outside the stockade, Mo Zhaocai quickly determined the direction in which the group of people were leaving, and said, "Young Master, they are heading this way, are we just following?"

When they are all here, naturally they have to follow the past. Lin Rufei walked forward, but there was a strong premonition in his heart. He felt that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to the thing that affected Gu Xuandu.

Mo Zhaocai also became faintly excited, but he forcibly suppressed this emotion, and still pretended to be afraid and continued to lead Lin Rufei. Lin Rufei saw it, but didn't point it out. After all, he still needs it now. This little guy leads the way.

The further you go, the more strange the roadside scenery becomes.

The original lush trees began to show their dry branches, and the weeds overgrown by the road had disappeared, replaced by jagged rocks and red soil. The bloodstain had turned dry brown, and it was a long time ago that a fight had begun.

Mo Zhaocai carried his huge package on his back and walked cautiously, looking around from time to time. Lin Rufei took out the paper crane from the ring again and wanted to send a message to Fuhua and Yurui, but the paper couldn't get out at all. This only meant that either something had happened to the two of them, or that they were now in a relationship. In a space where there is no contact with the outside world.

Mo Zhaocai, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped in his footsteps, lowered his voice, and said, "Young Master, those people are ahead."

Lin Rufei said, "Can you lean over again?"

Mo Zhaocai looked around and pointed to a huge red rock not far away. The rock seemed a little awkward on the side of the road, but there was really no other place to hide.

Lin Rufei and Mo Zhaocai touched the rock and looked in the direction of the bandit.

There are about twenty people in the mountain bandits, and they are gathered together at this time. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, Lin Rufei saw that they were drawing a complex magic circle. After drawing the magic circle, she took out a huge cloth bag and poured something rustling out of the pocket. As soon as those things were poured out, they rolled on the ground, looking carefully, only to find that it turned out to be a bag of human eyeballs. The eyeball looked like it had just been dug out, with wet blood stains, which looked particularly terrifying at first glance.

It is estimated that these eyeballs were dug up from passing pedestrians, but I don't know how many people's eyes were dug up to collect such a bag.

Mo Zhaocai looked terrified and trembled, but Lin Rufei frowned slightly: "What are they doing?"

Mo Zhaocai said: "It seems to be related to the things in Xiliang Mountain..."

Lin Rufei said, "What?"

Mo Zhaocai said: "It is rumored that Tianjun put a rare magic weapon in Xiliang Mountain back then, and if he got the magic weapon, he could realize a wish."

Lin Rufei looked at Mo Zhaocai: "Do you believe it?"

Mo Zhaocai clenched the heavily wrapped hand behind him: "I believe it."

When the two were talking, in the sky not far away, a round blood-red object slowly rose. Pupils cast icy glances at the dozens of bandits.

When the bandits saw such a bizarre situation, they did not show any fear. Instead, they became excited together. Dozens of people began to whisper into their pupils, as if they were chanting some kind of incantation.

The blood-colored pupils hovered quietly in the air, like the pupils of gods and Buddhas without sorrow or joy, staring indifferently at the mad mortals under the night.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: On the first day of going offline, Xiao Jiu was molested.

Lin Rufei: If you don't go offline, I will be molested by you every day.

Gu Xuandu: Then do you choose one

Lin Rufei took out her shield: It's okay to smash it to death.

Gu Xuandu: …

Lin Rufei, who got the wooden shield, seemed to open the door to some strange new world.
