Spring mountain night belt knife

The night was getting darker, the night wind was getting colder, and while walking alone, Ruan Xun called "Ah Qi" in the sea of ​​consciousness.

As soon as the words fell, Tianzi No. [-] flew out of his body in the shape of a light ball, twirled in the void, and landed as a giant snow-white dog.

"Wang Wang" barked twice, Ah Qi flicked his tail, walked forward a few steps, seemed to be looking for something, but after a while lost his head and said: "I still can't find the trace of the earth soul, maybe it's not in the hands of the Ruan family. "

Ruan Shui's voice was cold: "I don't feel anything either." But he didn't agree with the second half of Ah Qi's sentence.

Ah Qi scratched the ground with his two front paws, and said worriedly: "What should I do? Now that I have come out, it is impossible to go back to the formation and be used by the Ruan family; but I can't find the place where one of the three souls is. Hun, it won't be long before you, master, will become demented, like a fool."

"There are always solutions to all kinds of problems in this world." Ruan Xun whispered against the wind.

After saying that, he stopped talking and went to the Baimeilin in front of him.Ah Qi raised his head and sniffed in the wind, trying to struggle a bit more, but found that he was being pulled far away without paying attention, and had to hurry to chase after him.

Baimei is planted on an open and gentle slope, and the flying flowers are scattered like falling snow, but it is more quiet than falling snow.The plain flower hooks hang on the corners of plain clothes, depicting the oldness accumulated over the years.

The stars in the sky are sparse, and the cold moon is hidden deep, but there is a glow flowing from Ruan Shui's loose hair behind him, shining a little coolness for no reason.His narrow and beautiful eyes were lowered, and his long eyelashes covered his eyes, making it difficult for people to discern the emotions in them.

"Master, just wait for me. I haven't moved for too long, and I can't move my legs—" Ah Qi shouted behind him, but before the words fell completely, the aura around Ruan Xun suddenly changed.

Ruan Xun kept walking, lowered his voice, and said "Ah Qi".

The giant snow-white dog on the way to chase instantly understood Ruan Xun's thoughts, and even smelled something unusual in the white plum forest. Yan Ling's waist saber fell into his outstretched hand.

A gust of wind blew up instantly, and flowers fell from his shoulders to other places. Shen Ye was pierced by a little cold light, and accompanied by a cry of "Please enlighten me with the Chun Shan Dao", he rushed to his face with blatant vigor!

Ruan Xun turned his wrist and raised the long knife sharply.The fluttering plum petals froze for a moment, but seeing the light of the saber piercing through the air, colliding with the incoming sword energy, there was a loud explosion.

Flying flowers are messy, dust is everywhere, but the plain white clothes fold like butterfly wings, and after pulling out a misty arc of light in the void, they suddenly disappear in place!

The next moment, Ruan Xun appeared in front of the attacking swordsman, and hit the sword in his hand heavily, the blade was cold and his eyes were cold.

"Ruan Xuegui, if you go back now, there is still room for you to return to the world." The swordsman on the opposite side looked at Ruan Xun coldly, and lunged with his feet, supporting himself to stand firm.

"It came quite quickly, but—why didn't you go?" Ruan Xun's face remained unchanged, and when the words fell to the ground, he turned around abruptly, withdrew his strength, withdrew his long knife, and retreated to the side.

——Then stepping on the wrong foot, using false moves to confuse the enemy.The light of the saber was chaotic, and after a while, the long saber was deflected, shaking the flower shadow, and the white figure suddenly flashed and stopped two feet behind the swordsman.

The long knife is three feet and three inches long, and the blade enters from the back of the swordsman, piercing through the chest.

The swordsman who attacked died, but Ruan Xun stood still, did not draw the knife immediately, but lowered his gaze, and said softly: "I didn't expect that you all came."

As soon as the words came out, eight figures appeared from different directions, either holding knives or guns, with different weapons, standing in the silent night, with a terrifying aura.

These people—plus the swordsman who was stabbed through the chest by Ruan Xun—were the nine of the top ten masters mentioned by the lake guards except him.

There are many old faces, but Ruan Xun is not idle and doesn't have the time to say hello.

One of the eight people took a step forward, swept across the swordsman in front of Ruan Xun indifferently, and said in a deep voice:

"Back then, our top ten masters jointly hunted you down. Although you suffered heavy casualties, you were defeated in the end. Now that a hundred years have passed, I have improved my cultivation, but you have been imprisoned and your martial arts have stagnated. Ruan Xuegui, what do you think? Can you defeat us and escape Jinling City?"

Ruan Xun lowered his eyes and drew his knife slowly, "When did I say that I left Jinling City? I just want to get out of this plum forest, go down the mountain, and have a few words with your Patriarch."

The man sneered coldly: "The head of the family is discussing matters with the distinguished guest and will not see you."

"You're not Ruan Donglin, how do you know he won't see me?" Ruan Xun tilted his head, his voice was even colder, "Is there anything more important to the Ruan family than me? If I don't pay attention, Self-destruct, what are you going to do?"

The clearly visible threatening words made the backs of the eight people surrounded by Ruan Xun stand in cold sweat.

——What Ruan Xun said is right, he is more important than the sky to the Ruan family, otherwise the head of the family would not have ordered ten people to dispatch at the same time, and would have to recover him at any cost.

They looked at each other, just indecisive, but saw a man who looked like a housekeeper appear in the field of vision.

Wearing black clothes, a jade belt around his waist, and gray hair at the temples, this person stopped by the white plum forest, his old eyes swept over all the people present, and finally stopped on Ruan Xun.

"Sure enough, I can't stop you."

He sighed a long time, seemingly moved, but in the blink of an eye, he changed the subject of the conversation.

"Come with me, the family wants to see you."

"Oh? That's really a coincidence." Ruan Xun raised his eyebrows lightly, with a sarcastic tone.

The plain white wrist was deflected, the tip of the knife pointed at the ground, and the bright red blood immediately dripped down the blade, drop by drop, splashing on the white plum petals on the ground, following Shi Shiran's steps winding forward, eerie Li Binghan.

The eight masters stayed where they were and watched Ruan Xun leave with the housekeeper.

The lights at the foot of the mountain are continuous, illuminating a courtyard as bright as day.

Over the past hundred years, the layout of the Ruan family has not undergone major changes. Ruan Xun walked forward according to his memory, far away from the plum grove, and crossed the small bridge. The brightly lit majestic main courtyard.

Ruan Xun didn't even think about it, and stepped to the right, but was stopped by the housekeeper unexpectedly.

"The owner asked you to go back to 'Mirror Snow' and wait for him." The butler said in a deep voice.

Jingxueli is where Ruan Xun used to live. It is located in the most secluded and clear place of the whole courtyard. If you want to go here, you should go to the left.

Under the dim light, the bloody long knife in Ruan Xun's hand reflected coldly. His light-colored eyes stared at the butler for a while, and said "OK".

"That's it, I won't see you off anymore." The butler nodded at him, his tone flat.

Before he finished speaking, Ruan Xun had already stepped onto the path paved with fine cobblestones to the left, walking without hesitation.The housekeeper stood where he was, saw his figure disappearing around the corner, and then he rolled up his sleeves and left.

Ruan Xun's walking pace didn't change, but—at the next intersection, he turned neatly to the road away from Jing Xueli.

Unexpectedly, there was a person walking towards him, dressed in Jiqing, with a jade crown and hair tied up, carrying Fuxi's long piano on his back, with a handsome appearance and warm eyes.Seeing Ruan Xun, this person stepped forward three steps at a time, clasped his hands and held the salute and asked, "May I ask you, how to get to Jingxueli?"

The sound is also quite nice.

This person is not from the Ruan family in Jinling. Ruan Xun glanced at him and said indifferently: "There is no one in Jingxue, so it's useless to go there."

After saying that, he passed this person, and continued walking to the deep courtyard and the place full of lights.

Xiaofeng blew up unintentionally, but the corners of his clothes flew up, outlining an entanglement.But Ruan Xun's pace was extremely fast, and that bit of tenderness faded away in an instant.

Not long after arriving at the main courtyard, Ruan Xun did not hide his breath, and came in an aboveboard manner.He is a practitioner, and his hearing and eyesight are naturally extraordinary, so he didn't have to get close to the hall where the host and guest were all present, and the conversations during the conversation could already be heard.

Coincidentally, what was being discussed was related to him.

To be more specific, it was his marriage.

When he was a teenager, Ruan Xun's mother made a marriage for him, and the marriage partner was the son of an elder in Xuanyue Island at that time.

Tonight, Jinling Ruan's family had visitors from Xuanyue Island, and one of them was the former elder of Xuanyue Island and the current owner of Xuanyue Island.

As for the fiancé, the two had never met before, and Ruan Xun couldn't tell whether he was sitting in the hall or not.

"Hundreds of years ago, Xuegui retreated to the Jianghu due to injury and lived in Jingxue for a long time. He took the young master several times to see him but failed. He must have lost the heart of the world."

Xu Shi noticed his arrival, and the Patriarch of the Ruan family, who was seated high, raised his voice slightly. Although his tone was sincere, it also concealed a warning.

Hearing this, Ruan Xun suddenly became interested in watching the show, and stopped, intending to hear how the owner of Xuanyue Island planned to reply.

But it was still the head of the Ruan family who spoke: "However, my granddaughter Ruan Qiuhe has admired Mr. Hetuo for a long time. She is a leader of the Ruan family's generation. In terms of talent, few people in the world can match her."

The voice of the person who responded was slightly hesitant: "Patriarch Ruan means that he wants Quanzi to marry Ling's granddaughter, the famous Qingfu Fairy in Jianghu."

Ruan Donglin said solemnly: "My family, Chunshan Dao, has avoided the world for a hundred years. Although our reputation is still the same, we basically don't ask about Jianghu affairs. I think Master Mu should be clear that such a person is not the first choice for the young master."

"This... the marriage contract was made by Xuegui's mother and I, and the two boys even agreed. It would be unkind and unrighteous to regret the marriage because of Xuegui's prolonged illness." The owner of Xuanyue Island said in a troubled tone. extreme.

Hearing this, Ruan Xun's expression seemed to change.Immediately, he stopped listening to the play, held down the handle of the knife, lifted the hem of his clothes, and walked slowly across the threshold.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

The visitor was dressed in old plain clothes, the original color was no longer recognizable from the embroidery and painting, and the hair was untied, loose and loose, full of desolation.

But he was carrying a knife in the middle of the night, and the remaining blood beads on the blade were illuminated by the lights in the room, reflecting the cold color in his eyes, which was strange and frightening.

Who is this man?What is the purpose of coming here at this moment?

Everyone's thoughts changed in an instant, and what's more, they had already made a defensive posture.

Ruan Xun, who came across the threshold and entered the door, only took three steps in, slowly scanning the people in the main hall, and when his eyes fell on the owner of Xuanyue Island, the coldness in his eyes dissipated and turned into a distant color:

"Master Mu, Mr. Ling and I have never met each other before or after our engagement, so we don't know what the other person's temperament is, let alone whether our tempers are congenial. It would be too hasty to tie us together like this. .”

"Furthermore, as our patriarch Ruan Donglin Ruan said, I have been ill for a long time, and I am a person who has stepped into a coffin with half a leg. Moreover, as rumors in the world say, I am cruel and indifferent, and Mr. Tsurutori has a noble and pure temperament. It's not a good match..."

While talking, Ruan Xun picked up the outermost chair and sat down.

The lamp hangs obliquely above, shining a little bit of light, reflecting the clear and bright eyes of the long and narrow eyes, but it also sets off his extremely pale skin, like a person made of snow, lifeless at all.

He was wearing old clothes, holding a very ordinary waist knife, with a decayed temperament, but his face was the only one that was moving, making it hard to believe that he was the famous Chun Shan knife, but his words were similar to those of Ruan Donglin in the seat of honor. attitude, but also had to believe.

The owner of Xuanyue Island became more serious.

In the middle of the journey, Ruan Xun took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and then continued to talk about his shortcomings, describing himself as having no morals and no husband at all.Not only that, he also knocked Ah Qi in the sea of ​​consciousness, asking this loyal partner to help him think of some excuses.

But suddenly, a voice came from the door, interrupting Ruan Xun and Tianzi No.[-]:

"I don't agree with what Mr. Ruan said. We haven't met before, so we don't know whether the two are compatible, but we can't conclude that you and I are not a good match."

The voice was nice and familiar.

Looking at the sound, the speaker is wearing Ji blue clothes, standing with a qin on his back, looking handsome and elegant.

This person is someone Ruan Xun met by chance on the mountain road, and judging from his remarks, it is probably his fiancé whom he has never met——Mu Xiyun.
