Blossoms

5.

There are several other villages not far from Cuiyun Village.

Chu Rui carried the medicine box and followed the old man and Granny Chunyu to the sealed 'Cuilan Village'. The reason for the sealing was naturally because of the raging plague, and the surrounding area looked deserted and deserted.

It forms a completely different scenery from the bustling Cuiyun Village.

The old man glanced at the entrance of Cuilan Village, and clicked his tongue: "Has this plague never subsided?"

"The strange thing is this, the plague has stopped in this village and has never been out." After finishing speaking, Grandma Chunyu snorted, pointing at the old man and yelling: "I usually ask you to come but you are not willing to come, now that your apprentice is here, you are willing to come with me." Look, has your conscience been bitten by a dog?"

"This is obviously a trap set by Tianyin and his gang." The old man tapped the folding fan on the palm of his hand and said angrily, "Only you old woman always thinks that this is an ordinary plague...it must come."

The two stared at each other, but Chu Rui didn't want to pay attention, and walked forward by himself.

There are several families at the entrance of the village, and the thatched huts where the livestock are placed at the entrance are also vacant, and even the drinking troughs are covered with a layer of dust. The whole village is dark, and the sunlight seems to be unable to penetrate.

Obviously it is morning.

Several villagers in Cuilan Village looked at the three of them warily.

Chu Rui covered his face, carried a medicine box, and was dressed in a white dress that lightly wiped the ground and stained a lot of dust. He frowned slightly, and the little girl who had been watching him for a long time stared at him, and rushed towards him: "Immortal!"

"God save my mother!" The little girl's hair was messy and her clothes were a little tattered. She grabbed his sleeve and started to cry, "My mother has been ill! How long will this take! Please immortal save my mother!"

Chu Rui's heart trembled, and seeing her, he really couldn't bear to refuse.

Seeing this scene, the old man hurriedly waved away people: "You just let her go and have a look, the old woman and I will patrol outside."

"Alright, then the disciple will go and have a look." Chu Rui cupped his hands.

The little girl gratefully dragged him to the village.

Granny Chunyu moved the crutch in her hand and took a few steps forward: "Old man, didn't you say it was a trap set by Tianyin? Then you let your apprentice go in by himself?"

The old man smiled.

He knows that nonsense is a trap, but if you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger.

Tianyin's group dared to create a plague here without spreading it. It must be to prevent others from coming here, so it's better to take a look. His own martial arts are not very good, so it is very important to choose someone who is stronger than himself in martial arts.

Chu Rui's martial arts is taught with all his strength.

Well, the old man said, we just have to wait for him to come.

Mo Zixi is too dangerous.

Grandma Chunyu didn't know what he was thinking, so she snorted and walked in.

The old man pondered for a while, then performed lightness kung fu slightly and flew towards the eaves.

On the other side, Chu Rui followed the little girl to the village through several small roads, and after a while led him to a somewhat dilapidated courtyard, where a woman was lying on a bed with cold hands and feet.

Chu Rui took her hand to feel the pulse.

"The whole body is cold but there are no other abnormalities..." Chu Rui raised his eyes and looked at the shivering little girl beside him: "What's wrong?"

The little girl looked at him and shook her head.

Chu Rui frowned, stood up holding the medicine box and fiddled with something in it, the little girl blinked, moved to his side, faltering, not knowing what to say.

"Immortal..." she said.

"What's the matter?" Chu Rui took out several silver needles for acupuncture.

The little girl hugged her arms, and her words trembled a little: "She...seems...not my mother..."

As soon as the voice fell, a bell rang behind him.

Chu Rui turned around slowly and protected the little girl behind her. The woman on the bed sat up by herself, and at some point took out a sword in her hand, and threw it in front of their eyes.

"Who are you?" Chu Rui asked her.

The woman's eyes were blank, and Chu Rui saw that she didn't blink, and her breathing was even, as if she was being controlled by someone. Thinking of Tianyin's mind control technique, she quickly threw out the folding fan.

Send it out with a palm in your hand.

"Shut——" The woman swung her long sword at him, striking at Chu Rui's heart.

Quickly dodging, Chu Rui subconsciously felt that the sword looked very familiar, so he had already dodged behind the woman, poked her acupuncture point with one hand, and restrained her attacking palm with the other hand.

Clang.

The long sword fell to the ground.

The woman stood still, her face still expressionless, her eyes dull, she still held her sword, motionless, like a statue.

The little girl rolled her eyes and stopped crying and making trouble. Seeing the sword fall to the ground, she rushed over, grabbed the sword and rushed out of the door.

Before Chu Rui could react to anything, the woman's motionless body suddenly fell over. Chu Rui subconsciously caught her and put her aside, picked up the medicine box and walked out.

The little girl outside the door stood behind a group of people in red robes, and handed the sword in her hand to the leader.

In the lead, a masked, aged man in red clothes raised the sword and shook it in the morning light.

"What a coincidence," he said.

Chu Rui frowned: "Tianyin believers."

"Hall Master Qingfeng." The leader smiled, holding the sword in his hand: "Mo Zixi was blocked by our people."

Chu Rui's eyes froze: "What did you say?"

"Don't worry, just let him restore some friendship between him and our Tianyin." He smiled: "The leader said that Mo Zixi who has no memory is too funny, let us stimulate him."

After speaking, he tapped the little girl's head.

"By the way..." He grinned, "By the way, find a girl from Cuiyun Village to cast a gu, and disperse the plague here."

Chu Rui raised his eyes and said fiercely: "You are all crazy..."

"It's not crazy. This plague brought you here." The man in red swung the sword in his hand: "But Cuiyun Village is really annoying. The master is tired of coming here for treatment every day."

I'm bored.

The sword body shimmered against the morning sun, and Chu Rui could see the appearance of the sword body clearly.

He was stunned.

"Surprised?" The leader smiled: "We only found out that this family is a supporter of Mo Zixi, and that woman knows how to protect this sword, but I don't know how many of my disciples from Tianyin have been stained on this sword." blood."

"Furthermore, his master has betrayed his own decency and joined us heretics..."

Chu Rui's heart beat fast.

After weathering, it is still extremely sharp. It is one of the famous double swords of Wangjun Mountain.

Shui Xiujian... yes.

He once asked Zixi if he wanted to find the sword.

No one else is more worthy than Mo Zixi...to use the Shuixiu Sword.

Mo Zixi, Shui Xiujian, and a sword technique called Piao Miao.

"Hand over the Shuixiu sword..." Chu Rui waved the folding fan in his hand: "Otherwise I will have to snatch it."

The person on the opposite side pointed his sword at him, and said with a smile: "Then let me see how good you are."

After finishing speaking, he waved the Shuixiu sword in his hand.

Several men in red clothes rushed out and surrounded him.

Chu Rui released his inner strength and slashed at the person. Several people in front of him flashed his palm, raised their swords and started fighting with him.

Chu Rui's martial arts clearly had the upper hand, but he was outnumbered and struggled.

"Hey, it's too unfair for ten people to one person."

Several people looked towards the source of the voice.

Chu Rui was surprised to see his master standing on the eaves.

"Master?"

The old man smiled, and a stone-sized object in his hand fell to the ground quickly——

There was a snap, and the smoke filled the air.

The old man quickly grabbed the Shuixiu Sword from the leader's hand in red, and put it into the scabbard that had already been in his hand at some point.

The change came quickly, the old man laughed, grabbed Chu Rui's arm and released lightness kung fu, and slipped away.

The two ran together for a long distance before the old man let him go. Chu Rui hurriedly said, "I have to go back to Cuiyun Village quickly."

"Yes, I didn't expect Tianyin to lure you and me... No wonder the old woman quickly summoned me to help when something happened." The old man smiled and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's a disaster." You can't hide it, you can't hide it even if you are lucky..."

Chu Rui didn't want to pay attention to his words, and directly snatched the Shuixiu sword from his hand, his eyes revealing a scrutiny.

The old man scratched his head.

Chu Rui opened his mouth: "Master..."

The old man still scratched his head, his eyes drifted away: "Well...it's not me..."

Chu Rui got angry, turned around and left.

"Oh! It's me, it's me! I've hidden my sword in Cuilan Village for so many years! How did I know that group of people would know this!" The old man roared angrily, "You son of a bitch, I've helped you so much and treated me like this! "

Chu Rui paused, and smiled for no reason: "Yes, you have hidden a lot of swords."

The old man was taken aback, and pouted: "Okay, go back quickly, if you don't go back, what should Mo Zixi do if he is abused?"

……

The fog cleared, and several people looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Boss!" The people at the side ran towards the leading man and whispered something in his ear.

"It's unreasonable." The man snorted, and there was a resentment in his heart that could not be dissipated.

He glanced at the people on the side, raised his hand and slapped the person who sent the order with his palm. The person was unprepared, and was directly hit by this palm, and he fell on the ground and kept screaming. He didn't respond at all. .

I felt a little better.

"The leader said that we were not effective enough, and Mo Zixi and his group disturbed him, saying that he wanted the devil to come by himself." He straightened his clothes, his heart tightened with dissatisfaction, and he gritted his teeth: "This is such a great deal." How could his credit be taken away by him..."

The group of people behind immediately started talking.

Walking slowly from the side, a silent woman dressed in fine clothes showed no expression on her face. She waved her hand and said in a flat tone, "Turn back and tell the master, let's go directly to intercept the demon king, whoever he is, We all have to reap the benefits."

The rest agreed.

The man cupped his hands and said flatteringly: "Ma'am is right."

The woman smiled: "Let's go."
