Cherry Blossoms Upon a Wintry Sword

Chapter 79: Wu Yu

Views:

To the south of Yunxiang, there is a place called Wuyu, which is the hometown of the Wu people.

Compared with other places, Wuyu is located in a long and narrow canyon, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the terrain is closed. In addition, Wuyu is a hometown of witchcraft, and outsiders are very afraid. Therefore, for most people, it is very is mysterious. The Qi Yansheng that Lin Rufei met in the Meng family before was the first Wu clan person he knew, but now it seems that Qi Yansheng has a good temperament, not as weird as the rumored Wu clan people.

Gu Xuandu said that Wu people's strange temperament is actually a misinformation, just because they are isolated from the world and don't know the rules of the world, unless they rarely leave Wuyu at certain times, that's why they cause such a mess to outsiders. Weird impression. Of course, there are also a few people of the Wu people who are as exquisite as Qi Yansheng, and most people of the Wu people are somewhat introverted.

Lin Rufei said in a low voice, "The one who came to my room the day before... is also from the Wu clan?"

Gu Xuan nodded.

Lin Rufei said, "What's his name?"

Gu Xuandu said, "Wu Ao."

Lin Rufei said: "It's a good name, it sounds like Chi Yu, oooooooo."

Gu Xuan almost didn't laugh.

"I feel that this person has a very strange temper." Lin Rufei said, "I thought he was here to trouble me, but his appearance shocked me, but if he was kind to me, why would he Injured Shen Wukuo, and even my sister was injured."

Gu Xuandu smiled and shook his head slowly.

Lin Rufei said, "And when we went to Wu Yu this time, didn't we happen to go to his hometown." He didn't like Wu Ao very much, "Will we meet him again?"

Gu Xuan sighed with a little helplessness in his tone. He said, "Wherever we go, we will meet him."

The two talked for a while, until Yu Rui muttered, "Young master, who are you talking to?" Lin Rufei closed her mouth, and then said perfunctorily that she was endorsing.

Yurui chewed candy corn, looked at her son suspiciously, and was a little worried, thinking that her son's hysteria who likes to talk to himself may not be cured...

Lin Rufei glanced at Yurui and said, "You're not afraid of breaking your teeth by eating so much candy every day."

Yurui grinned, revealing neat little white teeth, and said, "I'm not afraid, but I brush my teeth well." She didn't take it to heart at all.

Unexpectedly, Lin Rufei said it casually, but it became a prophecy. The next night, Yu Rui's face suddenly swollen. Fuhua pinched Yurui's mouth and looked left and right, frowning and said: "Yurui, have you really brushed your teeth well? Most of these teeth are broken..."

Yurui cried, "I really have it."

Fu Hua said, "Then why are the teeth broken?"

"Alas." Lin Rufei sighed and said, "Although she brushed her teeth, she was chewing candy corn from her lover when she slept at night. It's surprising that her teeth are not broken."

Yurui cried in pain and burst into tears, saying that she blamed He Wanxiang for that bad thing, why the corn candy she made was so delicious.

Fu Hua was both angry and funny, she grabbed Yurui's nose and pinched it and said, "No matter how delicious the food is, it's still sugar. If you eat too much, you will not only lose your teeth, but you will also gain weight. After you gain weight, He Wanxiang will dislike it. despise you."

Yurui cried even more.

Lin Rufei didn't know whether to laugh or cry and tell Fu Hua not to scare the children. It happened that Chi Yu brought her family over and saw Yurui crying with rain. She frowned and said how Lin Rufei had bullied his maid.

Lin Rufei let out a long sigh and said that she was willing to bully her, and then she told Yurui that she had broken her teeth after eating candy corn.

Chi Yu was also happy when he heard it, and Yu Rui angrily grabbed his hair and slapped him angrily. He didn't resist, just squinted his eyes and spread it out in Fu Hua's arms like a piece of cake, with a look of comfort on his face.

Lin Rufei hugged the little Ye Tapir and said why Chi Yu looked like a scumbag.

"Chi Yu is a scumbag, so what are you?" Gu Xuandu asked quietly.

"Nurse?" Lin Rufei answered tentatively.

Gu Xuandu was noncommittal about this, looking up at Chi Yu thoughtfully.

Although the next place to go is Wu Yu, Lin Rufei is still afraid of Wu Ao, but Gu Xuan wants Lin Rufei not to worry so much, saying that Wu Ao should not take action against Lin Rufei, even if he wants to. , also move him.

Lin Rufei asked strangely why Wu Ao was so disgusted with Gu Xuandu, Gu Xuandu said with a smile, "That's not disgust, it's jealousy."

"Jealous?" Lin Rufei asked curiously, "Jealous for what?"

Gu Xuandu said: "Of course I'm jealous that I have someone with me. Look how miserable he is. Hundreds of years ago, there was only that black snake with him. Hundreds of years later, there is still only one black snake. I can't stand it anymore. already."

He said this in a joking tone, and Lin Rufei couldn't help laughing, but there was still some worry in the smile. In short, that Wu Ao had always felt bad for Lin Rufei.

This place is close to the seaside. After the beginning of autumn, the weather is not so hot. It rains in autumn and cools. This year's rain is exceptionally abundant. After Lin Rufei left Shen's house, the sun hadn't come out, but it was very comfortable.

From Shen's house to Wuyu, it would take about ten days by car. If you walk slower, it will probably take longer. However, the closer he got to Wu Yu, the more Lin Rufei could feel the fearful attitude of the people around him towards this place. As soon as he heard about his destination, most of his faces would show some fear or disapproval.

"Young Master, are you really going to Wuyu?" The young 20 in the inn was very enthusiastic. After hearing Lin Rufei asking for directions, he couldn't help frowning, "That place is very evil. It is said that the people who entered have never come out."

Lin Rufei said, "So powerful?"

"That's not it." Xiao Er poured tea for Lin Rufei and whispered, "If you want to go, just follow the road to the east and go straight forward, but you have to think about it before you go, but the son , what are you doing there?"

Lin Rufei said, "Go... do something."

Xiao Er shook his head and sighed, saying that it's better not to do this. They never dared to approach Wu Yu. Even if they didn't, they could still see a lot of strange things. There is nothing good about Yu Zhan.

Lin Rufei asked curiously, "A strange thing?"

The second said, "Yes."

Lin Rufei said, "For example?" He took out the reward money from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Er.

Xiao Er smiled as soon as he saw the reward, and after he took it, he smiled and said, "This Wu Yu is located in the canyon, and the road to the east is the only passage leading to it. Few people walked, until one year, also in autumn, there was a sudden fog on the road..."

He deliberately lowered his voice and made a ghastly look, frightened Yurui grabbed Fuhua's hand and stared at Xiao Er with round eyes.

Xiao Er continued: "Someone happened to be passing by nearby, and saw a dozen shadowy figures appear in the thick fog. At first, that person thought that someone happened to pass by, so he looked at it curiously, but after looking carefully, he felt that there were What's not quite right, I saw that the movements of these dozen people walking were very stiff, not step by step like ordinary people, but jumping, the more the person looked, the more wrong he was, and he was about to leave, who knows..." He suddenly In a louder voice, "Who knew that a hand suddenly stretched out from behind him and patted him hard on the shoulder, and he lost consciousness. When others found out, the dozen or so figures were unexpectedly different. Plus one!"

"Ah!" Yurui and Fuhua were both frightened and pale, but Lin Rufei listened with interest and commented, "The story is good."

"Young Master, aren't you afraid?" Seeing that Lin Rufei didn't react at all, the little Er was a little unwilling.

"Don't be afraid." Lin Rufei took a sip of tea and said indifferently, "It's just a made-up story."

"Why?" Xiao Er asked curiously.

Lin Rufei said with a smile, "If something really happened to him, who told you the previous story? Could the dead still talk..." After saying this, he suddenly thought of Mo Changshan, and after a moment of silence, he pondered. Said, "Dead people seem to really be able to speak."

"Master, don't scare us." Yurui cried, "That place is so scary, do we really want to go?"

"Go." Lin Rufei said, "Isn't it very interesting?"

Obviously, Lin Rufei was the only one who thought Wu Yu was interesting. No matter the second or the maid, there was a look of disapproval on her face. Xiao Er saw that she couldn't be persuaded and didn't say any more. She just sighed and let Lin Rufei go in. She had to say hello to her family, so as not to disappear suddenly, and the family was still worried. Lin Rufei thanked him for his kindness and thought about it. After thinking about it, I really sent a letter to Kunlun.

When Xiao Er was telling the story, Gu Xuandu also listened with great interest. Back in the room, Lin Rufei asked Gu Xuandu whether the story was true or not.

"Maybe it's true." Gu Xuandu said, "Wu people are really good at chasing corpses, and they occasionally take orders from outside. It's normal to be seen. But the story behind it is a bit wrong. Thinking about it, someone must have added fuel to it."

Lin Rufei said, "That's right, most of the folklore have a little bit of oil and vinegar."

Lin Rufei stayed at the inn for one night. She originally planned to enter Wuyu the next day. Who would have guessed that when she woke up in the morning, she would see the fog shrouded outside. The fog was very thick. Humanoid.

"Master, do we still want to go?" After hearing yesterday's story, both Fuhua and Yurui were a little uneasy, but today is like the fog in the story, and they are even more afraid. After all, she is still a little girl. If she changed to Lin Weirui, the skin monkey, she would be excited to set off when she saw the fog.

Lin Rufei said, "Wait a minute. Usually, the fog should dissipate at noon, and we'll set off at that time."

Floating Flower Yurui breathed a sigh of relief.

But the sky does not follow people's wishes, this thick fog does not seem to be an ordinary mountain, even if the sun comes out, it has no intention of dispersing.

Lin Rufei had no choice but to ask the second of the inn again, asking him when the fog would dissipate.

"It's impossible to say." The second replied, "Usually they leave at noon, but if they don't leave at noon, it will last for several days, and once it seems to take more than ten days to leave, son, such a big Are you still going in?"

Lin Rufei asked, "Will you get lost?"

Xiao Er said, "I don't know if I'm lost or not, but there is only one way to get in. As for what it looks like inside, no one knows."

Lin Rufei thought about it and said, "Then I'll wait until tomorrow. If I don't leave tomorrow, I'll go in along the main road." Although it was foggy, there was Gu Xuandu beside him anyway. Very well understood, there will be no big surprises.

Xiao Er persuaded a few more words, but seeing that Lin Rufei's attitude was firm, she sighed and left.

The weather seemed to be against Lin Rufei. On the second day, the fog didn't lighten at all, it was still frighteningly thick. No one could say when the fog would dissipate, so Lin Rufei decided not to. Wait, and get on the carriage with the maid.

Both Fuhua and Yurui were a little scared, so Lin Rufei simply let them both sit inside and drive the car by herself. Of course, the maids were reluctant to live and die when they heard this order at first. How could the servants sit and enjoy themselves, and the master came to do things, but Lin Rufei didn't persuade her, so she said with a smile that you are not afraid of rushing outside to drive the car and suddenly stretch out behind you. Put a hand out and pat you on the shoulder? She managed to frighten the two maids with a pale face. She didn't say anything, and silently shrank into the carriage, but she was still worried about Lin Rufei. .

Lin Rufei couldn't stop laughing at Fu Hua Yurui's reaction. Gu Xuan said that Xiao Jiu really had learned badly.

Lin Rufei glanced at him and said, "I learned it from my predecessors."

Gu Xuandu: "..."

Lin Rufei said, "My mother is a bear, this fog is really big."

Gu Xuandu: "..." You also learned this from me

Gu Xuan heard the swear words, gritted his teeth and hated for a long time, thinking that the He family was indeed a catastrophe that he could not escape, but seeing Lin Rufei was very happy, with a smile on his face, thinking about it, he probably felt that he had finally It's because I learned a word that can sigh my mood - "mother is a bear than" is always more imposing than "God". Gu Xuandu pressed his forehead in distress, thinking in his heart how to make his young son forget this sentence earlier.

But at the moment, it seems unlikely, waving the whip in his hand, Lin Rufei drove the carriage along the road to the east. The fog was too thick, and the carriage did not dare to run too fast. After all, he was not familiar with the road and could not see the surrounding obstacles.

However, as the carriage gradually went deeper along the road, the surrounding scene seemed to have changed. Lin Rufei could vaguely feel that there were many tall mountains around her through the thick fog. This area was originally a plain area. Where do these mountains come from.

Lin Rufei said, "Senior, is this what you saw before?"

"Almost." Gu Xuandu said, "Wu Yu is very closed, and the average person has a long life. I think it has not changed much in the past few hundred years." He was a little emotional, "I just didn't expect Wu Min to die, I thought he would live. longer than me…”

Lin Rufei said, "You have a good relationship with Wu Min?" After he asked this, he felt a little ridiculous. Yes, if Gu Xuandu and Wu Min had a bad relationship, why would he give his heart to him? custody.

Gu Xuandu and Lin Rufei talked about some past events in the past, saying that he and Wu Min were about the same age and had similar personalities, so they were very different at first, until something happened later, and his temperament changed greatly and Wu Min was different. Min's relationship was eased, and the two, who were disliked by each other, eventually became close friends.

Lin Rufei said, "A lot must have happened back then."

"A lot." Gu Xuandu looked lazy, "How could it be so peaceful back then, Yaoguang's grand formation has not yet been set up, and there are demons everywhere to harm the world, but if there are more demons, the monks will become more powerful. After all, if you don’t practice now, you’re just a mortal, but if you didn’t practice then, you’d be killed.”

Lin Rufei said, "Senior, tell me more." No one would not be curious about what happened back then. Although there are records in the history books, there is no one who said it vividly. He straightened his waist and showed curiosity. , "Everyone said that Tianjun did his best to set up the Yaoguang formation to protect all living beings, and his cultivation was greatly damaged. After many years of silence, he emerged again. Senior, it is difficult to set up a big formation, right?"

Gu Xuandu gave him a deep look: "It's difficult."

"Were you seriously injured at the time?" Lin Rufei asked.

Gu Xuandu said: "It's very heavy." He sighed, "Tianjun has the best temperament, but also the most ruthless. Although he has saved the world, he has hurt the hearts of many people around him."

Lin Rufei found it strange that Gu Xuan was talking about Tianjun, but he seemed to be talking about someone else, obviously he was Tianjun.

"Have you regretted it, senior?" Lin Rufei asked.

"Me? I regret all the time." Gu Xuandu said, "But Tianjun, never regretted for a moment, Tianjun Tianjun, as his name suggests, is born the king of the world. The king of the king, Loved by the people, dedicated to the people..."

When Gu Xuandu said this, he was also smiling, but Lin Rufei didn't know why, but he could see some desolation in his smile. Lin Rufei felt a little uncomfortable. After a moment of silence, she suddenly stretched out her hand. Grabbing Gu Xuandu's hand, he whispered, "Senior, if you don't want to laugh, stop laughing."

Gu Xuandu: "Xiao Jiu is so active, I'm not used to it." He intertwined his fingers with Lin Rufei's backhand, reluctantly cheered up, and said something else, of course, this time, he just picked some Interesting things eased the heavy atmosphere.

Lin Rufei chatted with Gu Xuan with relish, but she just frightened the maid in the carriage, Yu Rui shrank in Fu Hua's arms, the two hugged and shivered, Yu Rui whispered with a crying voice: "Sister Fuhua, who is the young master talking to?"

Fu Hua said in a trembling voice, "I'm... talking to myself."

"But why did you bring a question and an answer?" Yurui said, "Why do I feel that something is wrong with the young master, do you think the young master is also afflicted by evil?"

Fu Hua reluctantly said calmly: "Hasn't the young master been in the evil all the time?" He touched Yurui's head and comforted, "Calm down, we should have gotten used to it."

Yurui said: "But I can't get used to it."

Fu Hua smiled bitterly: "To be honest... I can't get used to it either."

Then the two hugged each other tightly and continued to comfort each other in the heavy fog, while hearing their young master whispering to himself, the situation became more and more strange.

The carriage walked for a day, and I didn't know where it was, but when the sky darkened, the fog was still thick.

After Lin Rufei looked around, she chose a relatively flat place and lit a bonfire to prepare for the night. Yurui and Fuhua were frightened for a day, and they were exhausted by now, so Lin Rufei volunteered and said that they should rest first, and wait until the second half of the night to change their vigil.

Fuhua refused to say anything, saying that the young master had been tired all day, how could he continue to keep watch at night, and let Lin Rufei go to rest well, she came to watch the first half of the night, and Yurui watched the second half of the night.

Just as Yurui was about to agree, she saw Lin Rufei's gloomy smile, and he deliberately lowered his voice: "Although there is nothing to do during the day, what will come out at night is not necessarily."

Yurui said angrily: "Young master, you are too bad! Don't scare us on purpose!!"

Lin Rufei said, "How do you know that I am your young master?"

Yurui stared.

"The fog is so thick during the day, maybe the two of you are distracted, and the young master will be replaced." Lin Rufei said, "Actually, I am a monster that looks exactly like the young master..."

"Ahhhhh!!!" Yu Rui discovered her young master's bad taste for the first time, she wanted to throw a small fist next to Lin Rufei and smash him in the chest.

Lin Rufei couldn't help but burst into laughter and said it was all right, so let's go, I sleep in the middle of the night, you sleep in the middle of the night, the two of you should be each other's company, otherwise you will lose your soul.

Fuhua Yurui's face was not good-looking, but she still agreed.

Sometimes being timid is actually quite cute. Lin Rufei felt that her maid's appearance was very cute. He told the two of them and went to rest, leaving Fuhua Yurui and the two around the bonfire. Sit opposite.

The sky was getting darker, and coupled with the fog, it was almost impossible to reach out.

Yurui was a little scared, so she leaned closer to Fuhua and said, "Sister Fuhua, there won't be any monsters here, right?"

Fu Hua said: "Don't be afraid of monsters, don't you think Chi Yu is still a monster, he's so cute."

Yurui said, "Yes."

The two fell silent. Only the bonfire in front of her made a crackling sound. Yurui yawned and felt a little sleepy. Tengdi felt a tap on her shoulder. She thought it was the floating flower reminding herself, so she rubbed her eyes and said: "Sister Fuhua, don't pat me on the shoulder, I'm afraid." I always think of that ghost story.

Fu Hua turned her head blankly and said, "Ah? I didn't shoot you."

Yurui was stunned: "Then..." As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that her shoulder was patted again, and at this time Fuhua had both hands in front of her, it was impossible to pat her, and Yurui's figure suddenly froze. , his face was as pale as paper.

Seeing Yurui's change, Fu Hua understood instantly, swallowed heavily, and said, "Really... Is someone really photographing you?"

Yurui nodded stiffly.

"I, I'll take a look." Fu Hua slowly turned her head, but didn't see anything. There was only an endless fog and darkness behind them, like a huge vortex, sucking in all the light and heat.

"Nothing," said Fu Hua. "No monsters, no people."

Yurui started to cry, she did feel someone patted her on the shoulder, but just as she cried twice, her young master's smiling voice came over: "So scared? "

"Wuwuwu, young master, stop joking with us!!!" Yurui cried and screamed, "It will really scare people to death!!!"

In the fog, the young master's figure was looming, with a smile in his tone: "Really?"

Fu Hua suddenly felt that something was wrong, she grabbed Yurui, shook her head heavily at her, and then raised her chin in the direction of the carriage. The carriage of the carriage was very close to them, and the curtains were not drawn. As long as you glanced at it, you could see Lin Rufei sleeping soundly inside, but if Lin Rufei was sleeping in the carriage, she would stand behind them at this time and rush towards him. They're laughing... it's another... what...

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: I am so sorry that Xiao Jiu is not afraid of ghosts.

Lin Rufei: If I'm afraid of ghosts, do you think you still have a chance

Gu Xuandu: ... that makes sense.
