Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Chapter 76: Swordsman Changshan

Views:

The man didn't seem to notice Lin Rufei's arrival, and sat on the edge of the reef without moving, like a frozen statue. Lin Rufei's hand held the hilt of the sword at her waist and walked slowly, walking towards the man step by step along the slippery rocks. As he got closer, he could barely see the outline of the man in the dark. This seemed to be a young swordsman. The shape of his back was a little thin, and his long black hair was not tied up, but just so rough and scattered. draped behind the head.

It was probably a little closer, and Lin Rufei finally smelled the smell Gu Xuandu and Chi Yu were talking about. It was an indescribable smell, like meat gradually rotting in the hot summer. After that, the breath exuded, just smelling it, made people feel uncomfortable in the chest.

"You're here." When Lin Rufei approached a certain distance, the man suddenly opened his mouth, but his voice was unexpectedly young, like a teenager, but very unfamiliar. Lin Rufei was certain that she had not heard him speak anywhere before that.

Lin Rufei said, "Did you hurt Shen Wudu?"

"It's me." The man stood up slowly and turned around slowly.

Although the moonlight was not bright, it was enough for Lin Rufei to see his face clearly. Lin Rufei thought she didn't know him, but when he saw his face, he realized that Gu Xuandu was right. The swordsman in front of him was indeed his acquaintance. The two had met once, but Lin Rufei never imagined that she would be here and see him again.

That's right, he is the swordsman Mo Changshan on Mount Xiliang, who has been protected by the heartfelt master dog Mo Zhaocai in his arms. Mo Changshan, who originally had only one head left, actually came to life again. Not only did he survive, but he also held a sword in his hand again and became a powerful swordsman. There is a circle of black lines on his neck, which looks like a tattoo at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that it is simply a circle of thin needles and threads, which sewed Mo Changshan's head onto this body.

"Mo Changshan?!" Lin Rufei's eyes widened in amazement. He never expected to see Mo Changshan here. After Mo Zhaocai died that day, he took Mo Changshan and Mo Zhaocai together Cai was buried together, how could Mo Changshan appear here? !

Mo Changshan's black pupils were as dark as night. He didn't respond to Lin Rufei's words, he said, "Lin Rufei, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Rufei said: "Wait for me?"

Mo Changshan smiled: "Put your sword, let me see, you are still not you."

What he said was really inexplicable, but before Lin Rufei could react, the sword on the side of Mo Changshan was unsheathed. The snow-white blade was so eye-catching in the black night, with a strong stench, in Mo Changshan's hand, it waved an unavoidable arc.

Lin Rufei raised her hand to fight back, Gu Yu buzzed excitedly, as if she had seen an evenly matched opponent, the blades met, making a piercing sound of metal touching, Lin Rufei felt Mo Changshan's aura soaring, and heard him say in his ear. A voice: "Good sword."

It's not a compliment, it's just a review, and then withdrew, it's another sword.

At first, Lin Rufei's counterattack was a little stiff, but soon, he had a strange feeling, as if he was fused with the sword in his hand, Gu Xuandu had taught him every move and style, It has become his instinct, and under the calmness, swinging the sword has become a natural action.

The snow-white sword light was getting faster and faster, and the figures of the two also turned into afterimages. The fierce sword energy left deep traces on the reef. Chi Yu saw the two people whose figures were intertwined and jumped to the ground. In the distance, squinting and watching. He looked at it for a while, but noticed someone beside him, turned his head to look, and saw a striking red.

"Why did you come?" Chi Yu said coldly, "Aren't you afraid that your little son will die like this?"

"No." The person who came was Gu Xuandu. He folded his arms and looked slightly cold. He said, "Do you know my existence?"

"That little boy talks to himself every day, I thought he was stupid at first." Chi Yu said, "I found out later that he seemed to be talking to someone he couldn't see." He shook his tail and said, "After all, he started from scratch. He was sane by the end, not quite like a lunatic."

Gu Xuan smiled.

Chi Yu said, "Who is that person?" He was talking about the swordsman who fought with Lin Rufei.

Gu Xuandu said, "An old friend."

Chi Yu said: "It's really unfortunate to have such a friend."

Gu Xuandu did not refute, but nodded in agreement: "Who said no."

When the two were talking, Lin Rufei and Mo Changshan had already fought fiercely. Lin Rufei did not intend to kill, but she was not able to control the sword in her hand. The blade in Changshan's hand made several cuts, and there were still some wounds on Mo Changshan's body. It's just that where Mo Changshan was injured, there was no blood at all. He was like a lifeless puppet, just using his instincts to deal with Lin Rufei's attack. Lin Rufei breathed slightly, feeling that Mo Changshan was deliberately delaying, he took a deep breath, intending to make a quick decision.

"Gu Yu." Lin Rufei snorted softly.

Gu Yu responded, and the white light on the blade made a big splash. Lin Rufei said, "Come on—"

Mo Changshan felt the surging sword intent on Lin Rufei's body, and he took two steps back abruptly.

Lin Rufei used the sword move taught by Gu Xuan before, but the appearance of raising the sword in front of him seemed a little jerky. He took a deep breath and felt the surging sword intent in his body, raised his hand, Swinging his sword, the majestic sword intent was drawn out by Gu Yu and slashed heavily towards the person on the opposite side.

Mo Changshan's pupils shrank sharply, he didn't dare to take this move directly, he planned to avoid Yu Jian, who knew that the range of this sword was huge, he had already escaped dozens of feet, but was still hacked by Lin Rufei When he was straight, he turned around and wanted to pick it up, but the blade in his hand shattered the moment it touched the sword intent, and Mo Changshan's right arm was cut off directly, but there was no pain on his face, just a wrinkle. He frowned, as if disgusting his bulky body.

"Don't run, hand over the antidote!!!" Lin Rufei shouted.

"An antidote?" Mo Changshan was suspended in mid-air, looking down at Lin Rufei, his right hand was missing, and his clothes were tattered by the wind, but his expression was still indifferent, as if he was not hurt. have to.

Lin Rufei said, "Shen Wude—"

"The corpse poison has no solution." Mo Changshan laughed, and he tilted his head to look at Lin Rufei, "However, there are other ways."

Lin Rufei said, "Other ways?"

Mo Changshan pointed his hand to Gu Xuandu who was standing on the shore. He said, "He knows, you can ask him." Then the only remaining hand patted his own. Clothes, as if to pat the dust off them, he smiled and said, "Lin Gongzi, I'm very satisfied with you, let's come here today, you and I... I'll talk about it later."

"Who are you?? Why did you make Mo Changshan like this—" Lin Rufei shouted sharply, "Stop, don't go—" But his words were still too late, Mo Changshan turned around and disappeared into the boundless in the night. Lin Rufei gasped heavily, but felt that her throat was itchy for a while. After a few low coughs, she actually coughed up a mass of bright red blood. He frowned when he saw the blood stains in his palms, took out the silk handkerchief from his cuffs, wiped them randomly, and threw them into the sea water next to him.

"Xiao Jiu, are you alright?" Gu Xuandu was late.

Lin Rufei frowned at him and said, "Senior, did you hear what he said just now?"

Gu Xuan nodded.

Lin Rufei said: "The corpse poison has no solution? But he said you have a way?"

Gu Xuandu sighed, with some helplessness in his tone: "Although this method exists, it is better not to use it."

Lin Rufei said, "You always have to talk about it."

Gu Xuan frowned: "Go back first, I will tell you slowly on the way."

Lin Rufei said, "Okay."

Chi Yu disappeared at an unknown time. I think he really hated that thing. After all, to him with a keen sense of smell, Mo Changshan was a rotting corpse, and the smell made him very uncomfortable. Lin Rufei was very worried as she walked back home.

Gu Xuandu disliked the appearance of his family's Xiao Jiu the most, so he simply stretched out his hand to hold Lin Rufei, and the two intertwined their fingers, causing Lin Rufei to be stunned.

"Don't frown, Xiao Jiu." Gu Xuandu said warmly, "I hate Xiao Ji's appearance the most."

Gu Xuandu's hand was still always cold, and in this hot summer, it was not too annoying to hold, Lin Rufei did not struggle, let him hold it, and whispered: "If Shen Wuzhu dies, I will My sister will be very sad."

Gu Xuandu said: "But that's really not a good way."

"Even if it's not a good way, you should try it." Lin Rufei said, "Although my sister looks cheerful, she is actually very stubborn. She was only a few years old when she first met Shen Wudao, The handsome young man fell in love with him, but I heard my second brother say that at that time Shen Wudu was spoiled and less courageous than a girl. My sister likes people and doesn't know what to do, so she goes to the mountains to catch some Strange bugs, you have to scare people to cry once a day." He said that he wanted to laugh, but when the smile reached his lips, it melted, and he whispered, "I thought Shen Wudao was against me. My sister was only afraid, and I didn't realize until today that he also has intentions for my sister."

Gu Xuandu sighed: "But Shen Wuzhu may not be willing to use that method."

Lin Rufei said, "Tell me first."

Gu Xuandu said: "The corpse poison is indeed insoluble, but it can be alleviated by other methods. There is a method in the world that can make the life of the two people communicate with each other. The other's vitality may be able to carry it over." He said, but his mood was a little anxious, "And as long as this method is used, the lives of the two will be linked forever, and one will prosper and one will lose. Damage, this life and this world cannot be separated.”

Lin Rufei was slightly stunned, but she did not expect such a method: "No, is there any other way?"

Gu Xuan shook his head.

Lin Rufei frowned and thought.

Gu Xuandu said: "Although this method can solve a temporary problem, it will cause endless trouble. Think about it, if the two of them are linked by their lives, I'm afraid they can't be separated in this life... For some people, isn't it worse than death? horrible?"

Lin Rufei said, "I'll think about it again." He coughed a few times, his face slightly pale.

Gu Xuandu felt a little pain in his heart when he saw this, and held Lin Rufei's hand a little tighter.

After that, the two talked about Mo Changshan who had escaped. Gu Xuan said that the person who controlled Mo Changshan should be near Shen's house, but he didn't have the smell of corruption, so I'm afraid it's not easy to find. Lin Rufei asked Gu Xuandu strangely, and said why the man wanted to be hurt, but Gu Xuandu said nothing, just gave Lin Rufei a deep look, and said, "Some people do things without reasons. , they think, they do it, and they don't care about the consequences."

Lin Rufei said, "Aren't such people very scary?"

Gu Xuandu said, "It's really scary."

The two went back to the room, and after taking a shower and changing clothes, they hurriedly fell asleep. Lin Rufei was so full of things that she couldn't sleep at first, but she had been fighting with Mo Changshan for a long time, and she was a little tired. However, all of them were in the weak appearance of Shen Wuda, and after a long time of confusion in his heart, he forced himself to fall asleep.

The next day was a sunny day.

Lin Rufei got up early, and Fu Hua brought the freshly boiled seafood porridge and a few plates of delicious side dishes. Unfortunately, Lin Rufei had no appetite, and after a few bites, she stopped using her chopsticks.

Fu Hua was about to persuade Lin Rufei to eat some more when suddenly there was a loud noise outside the door. Lin Rufei was startled, thinking that something had happened in Shen Wuda, she was standing up anxiously, but the door rushed A fiery figure came in. Before Lin Rufei could react, she was hugged tightly by that person. The girl's charming voice sounded, it was the third sister Lin Rufei had not seen for a long time.

"Xiao Jiu, elder sister wants to kill you. Haven't seen you these days, have you had a good meal? Let elder sister see how much you have lost." Lin Weirui talked nonstop when she saw Lin Rufei.

Lin Rufei said in surprise, "Sister, why are you here?"

"I'm not worried about you?" Lin Weirui said with a smile.

"Are you worried about me, or about your little lover?" Lin Rufei teased her sister.

"It's all there." Lin Weirui rubbed her nose and muttered, "I've been flustered all the time these days. I felt something was going to happen, so I hurried over there... Xiao Jiu, what's going on over there without reminders? What? I heard he woke up, has the injury stabilized?"

Lin Rufei hesitated a little and said, "Yes..."

Lin Weirui's face froze, she obviously felt that Lin Rufei's words lacked confidence, and said, "Anyway, what's the accident? Xiao Jiu, what happened to the Shen family, you must not hide it from me."

Lin Weirui had all arrived at Shen's house, and this matter could not be concealed. Although Lin Rufei was afraid that Lin Weirui would be worried, she told the whole thing slowly and in detail. When Lin Weirui heard that Shen Wudu was seriously injured, the poison had not been resolved, and the whole person's breath became gloomy, and said coldly: "It's really trash, it's been so many days, and I still can't catch a person." She said , holding the sword and was about to go out, Lin Rufei hurriedly said, "Sister, where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going to arrest people." Lin Weirui said as a matter of course.

Lin Rufei said, "Aren't you going to see Young Master Shen first?"

"I'm worried when I see it, why don't I arrest the person first." Lin Wei frowned and explained.

Lin Rufei stopped her: "Don't go, I saw that person last night."

Lin Weirui said in surprise: "I saw it? Then why didn't you get it back?"

Lin Rufei forced a smile: "Because that person said that the poison in Young Master Shen is corpse poison, and there is no... antidote."

Lin Weirui's expression was blank for a moment, as if she could not accept the meaning of Lin Rufei's words, but she quickly regained her strength, waved her hands and said seriously, "Xiao Jiu, you don't know, the rivers and lakes are sinister, that person Saying that there is no antidote must be lying to you... Besides, corpse poison is such an unpopular poison, why is Wu Rui so unlucky." She said that she was talking to herself, as if she was comforting herself.

After saying this, he nodded to himself and said yes, just come here, don't rush to find someone, let's look at the squeamish little girl in her family first, so he went out with his sword.

The squeamish little girl was the nickname that Lin Weirui gave to Shen Wudu, and she was no good at that time. Lin Weirui joked that when Shen Wuda could beat her, she would change his name to him, and it was still a teenager. Shen Wuda angrily asked her what to change into, and Lin Weirui said with a smile that she changed into a mature big girl. Shen Wurui was teased by Lin Weirui and had nothing to say, he really had no way to take Lin Weirui at all.

The cheers and laughter of the past are still vivid in my mind, but in the blink of an eye, Shen Wudu was dying, even Lin Rufei couldn't accept it, let alone Lin Weirui.

Before Lin Weirui went out, Lin Rufei clearly saw the faint water vapor floating in her eyes, and it seemed that Lin Weirui also had a hunch in her heart.

Lin Rufei sat in the room with an anxious expression, and drank tea with anxiety in her mind. The tea had already gone to two or three pots, but in the end, Fu Hua couldn't stand it anymore. If you have too much, you will be sullen. Your body is already poor, and if you drink too much, you may not be able to eat.

As a result, Lin Rufei's right to drink tea was also deprived, so she could only sit and think hard with her chin propped up. Finally, she patted the table and gritted her teeth, "That won't work."

Gu Xuandu was startled by Lin Rufei: "What?"

Lin Rufei said, "I can't wait any longer. If Shen Wudu really dies, there will be no chance of recovery." He took a deep breath, "I have to save him, senior, what exactly is the method you said? Make?"

"Wait." As soon as Gu Xuan heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and immediately became nervous, "Do you want to save Shen Wuzhu?"

"Of course." Lin Rufei said, "If Shen Wudu dies, my sister doesn't know how sad it will be."

Gu Xuandu said: "Then you can't go—"

Lin Rufei was stunned for a moment, only to realize that Gu Xuan had misunderstood her meaning, and smiled bitterly: "Of course it's impossible for me to go, even if I wanted to, my sister wouldn't be happy, who would be willing to let the person she loves the most. , linked to other people's lives?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Then you want to..."

Lin Rufei said, "Tell my sister about this method."

Gu Xuan was hesitant to say anything.

Lin Rufei said, "Tell my sister, it's her business as to how she chooses."

"What if she regrets it?" Gu Xuandu said, "This may be a lifetime, hundreds of years..."

Lin Rufei shook her head: "I only know that if I tell her now, she may regret it later. If she doesn't tell her now, she will regret it now." After a fall, Lin Weirui was stubborn, otherwise he would not have liked Shen Wudao for more than ten years. It is unimaginable that if Shen Wudao died suddenly under such circumstances, I am afraid that Lin Weirui would not be able to withstand this huge blow at all.

Lin Rufei had already made a decision in her heart, so she no longer hesitated, and stepped out, Gu Xuan did not persuade him any more, and followed Lin Rufei's back, her expression seemed a little complicated.

Lin Weirui suddenly came to the Shen family, but it didn't seem to be a good thing for the Shen family, because she came here because she felt uneasy. This swordsman with cultivation will have some premonitions ahead of time for certain upcoming events.

Lin Rufei went to Shen Wudao's house and heard Lin Weirui talking to Shen Wudao from a distance.

When Lin Weirui saw Lin Rufei coming, she got up and said with a smile, "Then you rest first, I'll chat with my brother."

"Okay." Shen Wude smiled.

As soon as Lin Rufei came, he was pulled out of the house by Lin Weirui. He was wondering why Lin Weirui was in such a hurry. Who would have thought that just after leaving Shen Wurui's room, Lin Weirui threw himself into Lin Rufei's arms and cried bitterly. She was probably afraid that Shen Wuda would hear it, and she didn't dare to cry too loudly. She just shed tears silently, looking at Lin Rufei's heartache.

"Don't cry, darling, don't cry." Lin Rufei touched her head, just like when she coaxed herself to drink medicine when she was a child, "Don't cry, it will be fine."

"How could it be okay?" Lin Weirui said desperately, "Did you see it? They have already started hanging their lives with spirit stones... I should have come earlier... Why did it take so long... "

Lingshi hangs his life, it has already shown that this person is about to die, and Shen Wudao's good spirit is probably a reflection of the light. Lin Weirui is not a child who is easy to fool. Seeing this scene, how can he not understand what happened? She was sad and didn't dare to show it in front of Shen Wudao, so she could only force herself to tell some interesting things with Shen Wude, until Lin Rufei came, she couldn't hold back, and hurriedly pulled him out of the room , As soon as it came out, the tears broke down and could not be stopped.

Lin Rufei was deeply distressed when she saw her pained appearance.

Lin Weirui said, "No, I can't wait any longer. The swordsman must be brought back. He is a poisoner, and only he can get rid of the poison on Wuhui's body." She did not indulge in great sadness and forced herself to calm down. Come down, hold on to the only hope, "He must be found."

Lin Rufei said, "Sister, listen to me..."

"I know what you're going to say, even if the corpse poison has no solution, can't I just watch it die in pain without warning?" Lin Weirui gritted her teeth, her eyes blushing with hatred and pain, "No, I, Lin Weirui, will never accept my fate! "

Lin Rufei whispered, "Actually... there are other ways to save Brother Shen's life."

Lin Weirui said, "What method?"

Lin Rufei pursed her lips, and then slowly told Lin Weirui how Gu Xuandu had told him. Lin Weirui looked very serious, afraid that she had missed a word. When she heard that she could share her life with Shen Wuru , Lin Rufei saw his sister's eyes light up.

Lin Weirui not only didn't feel scared, but was gearing up and excited: "There is still such a good thing in the world?"

Lin Rufei said helplessly, "Sister, do you call this a good thing?"

"Of course." Lin Weirui giggled, "Isn't the most fearful thing for a woman to marry is her husband's infidelity? With this method, he still dares to be unfaithful and go out to hook up with people?"

Lin Rufei accepted her sister's way of thinking, and said helplessly, "Do you think Young Master Shen will go out and seduce girls?"

"No." Lin Weirui still had confidence in Shen Wudao and said honestly, "But he was born so beautiful, there will always be other girls to hook up with him."

Lin Rufei: "..."

Lin Weirui said: "This is also not allowed, let alone a girl, even a female cat, I won't allow him to keep one."

Lin Rufei suddenly felt sympathy for Shen Wude again, thinking that being liked by a girl like his sister would be quite troublesome to some extent.

"My silly brother." Lin Weirui is much shorter than Lin Rufei, but she still likes to put her arms around Lin Rufei's neck as she did when she was a child, she leaned into Lin Rufei's ear and said, "There is such a good way , why didn't you say it earlier, and I would be embarrassed to urinate on a horse, bah bah bah, shameful."

Lin Rufei sighed, "I'm just worried..."

"I know what you're worried about." Lin Weirui said, "but that's something ordinary people have to worry about. I, Lin Weirui, aren't afraid at all." She patted her chest and said with a serious expression, "I've identified such a person for the rest of my life. It may be a burden for others to be tied to his life, but for me..." She smiled shyly, "it's a reward."

Lin Rufei's face was helpless, and she saw that although Lin Weirui was joking, the firmness in her expression did not seem to be a fake, and she also knew the intention of her third sister.

After Lin Weirui and Lin Rufei finished talking, they turned around and walked away. As they left, they waved at Lin Rufei and told him to go back to rest first, saying that if he wanted to marry the son of the Shen family, he had to ask the head of the Shen family to propose marriage. It's about life, don't be sloppy.

Lin Rufei's face was helpless, she really admired her sister, and she was still thinking about joking at this time.

Lin Weirui said that when he went to propose a marriage, he must have gone to the Shen family to discuss this matter. After all, Shen Wude was the most beloved son of the family, and he had to obtain the consent of his family before doing it. As for Shen Wurui himself, Lin Weirui didn't intend to listen to his opinions from beginning to end. After all, Lin Weirui knew a lot about himself, his steadfast childhood sweetheart, for so many years, and he would definitely not agree. But Lin Weirui didn't care, she didn't need his consent, she only wanted him to survive.

Lin Rufei did not rush back to the house, but walked on the beach. The refreshing sea breeze blew away some of the heat in her heart. Lin Rufei bent down and played with the seaweed and small fish that were swimming in the sea.

Gu Xuandu saw this and asked him why he was unhappy. Lin Rufei said, "Actually, I'm quite happy." He sighed, "I just hope that when Young Master Shen gets better, don't blame me."

Gu Xuandu was noncommittal about this, and said lazily: "What is there to blame on you, to be able to live and die together with your beloved is a happy thing."

After he finished speaking, he added in a low voice, "It's a hundred times better than being left alone in this world."
