Chapter 11: The Assassins
However, as the eyes of the Xu family's powerful ghosts in the distance became more and more, I suddenly smelled a faint fragrance wafting slowly......
Before I could make a judgment, Chen Xuance had already said with a smile: "You don't have to think about how to deal with them, because Rujun is back." ”
Sure enough, the voice did not fall. A white shadow had already appeared next to Ruoshui SUV, Rujun didn't know when he arrived here, so he simply opened the door neatly and said, "Get in the car, quickly!" ”
I was overjoyed to see Rujun come back, and hurriedly took the old cat and them into the car. The two guys, Chen Xuance and Chen Xiaoqing, turned into a puff of green smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Got in the car. Ruoshui almost cried and asked, "Rujun, where have you been?" ”
Without waiting for Rujun to answer, I saw that there was a long bloody wound on Rujun's arm, and blood was oozing from his shoulder.
"Rujun, are you injured!?"
Rujun sat in the passenger seat and nodded slowly, I could see from the rearview mirror that Rujun's face was a little pale, and the whole person's complexion was not very good, it was obvious that Rujun was really injured, but just now Chen Xuance clearly said that Rujun could not meet the powerful ghost of the Xu family, what is going on? Could it be that Chen Xuance is deceiving people?
"Rujun, who hurt you?" I asked nervously, after all, in my impression, there are only a handful of characters who can hurt Rujun.
Rujun smiled bitterly and said, "I was in too much of a hurry just now, and I was tricked...... We weren't the only ones in ambush outside this wedding feast. There are others. ”
"Someone else?" The old cat frowned. Obviously, his clever brain didn't understand it very quickly.
Rujun nodded slowly and said, "That's right, there are others." The one who hurt me was a young man, about thirty years old, about the same as an old cat, a living person. ”
"A living person? How can a living person hurt you? The old cat expressed some disbelief at Rujun's words.
Rujun took out a bandage from the first-aid kit in the car to bandage the wound, and said: "There are people outside the world, although I have never left Beijing, but I know that the world is so big, there must be many powerful masters, isn't rhubarb one?" Not to mention the crazy Dao man, although the person who hurt me is not very old, but he is ruthless, and he uses the kung fu of traditional Dao Xuan, in my opinion, Rhubarb may be inferior to him or even a few points. ”
After a pause, Rujun added: "Actually, if you fight head-to-head, that guy may not be my opponent, but just now because I was too anxious, I fell into his ambush ......"
Speaking of this, I understood that Rujun must have been in a hurry just now before I was accidentally poisoned, and I felt very uncomfortable, so I could only say: "I'm sorry, Rujun." ”
Rujun smiled and didn't say anything. But obviously, what happened just now made Rujun feel a little aggrieved.
The old cat was still a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "Rujun, is the person who assassinated you just now also a yin person?" What does it look like? It stands to reason that I know a few famous people who go to the yin more or less, and since they can hurt you, they are definitely not nameless. ”
Rujun said: "He should also be a Yin person, a man about thirty years old, about one meter seventy-five tall, with a flat head, a pair of sharp eyes, wearing an apricot-yellow robe, it seems that he is also from a traditional Daoxuan, but his kung fu is not as pure as rhubarb, I can't see his origin......"
The old cat looked at the narrow wound on Rujun's arm and asked, "What about the weapon?" ”
Rujun was silent for a few seconds and said, "Xuanmu Sword." ”
"Xuanmu Sword?!" The old cat and I both shouted at the same time, this weapon is clearly the exclusive weapon of Rhubarb and the madman, is there another Xuanmu sword in the world?
Seeing our reaction, Rujun hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not Rhubarb's Xuanmu sword, it's just that it's also a sword made of lightning strike wood, and this sword is not the same as Rhubarb's." The blade of Rhubarb's sword is blunt, which means that there is compassion in the heart, although it is called the ghost sword, in fact, the anger is not heavy. However, the sword of the person who injured me just now is extremely sharp on both sides, and even if you use that sword to hurt someone, it is also very easy. ”
I suddenly realized, indeed, Rujun is now a fusion of humans and ghosts, and the fusion has reached the point where she can have the characteristics of both a powerful ghost and a living person, obviously, the wound on Rujun's arm cannot be cut out by relying on an ordinary peachwood sword or an unbladed Xuanmu sword, so this Xuanmu sword will never be the one of Rhubarb.
"Old cat, do you remember that there is a person who also uses the Xuanmu sword as a weapon, and it is even more powerful than rhubarb?" I asked hurriedly.
"This ...... There shouldn't be such a person at all, and if there really is such a powerful person, how can I not have heard of it? The old cat frowned and fell into deep thought: "However, since this guy is so powerful, will it have something to do with the eight masters?" Could he be a member of the Eight Veins of the Immortal Buddha? The old cat thought for a moment, and then immediately threw out a new question.
Rujun was obviously frowning and contemplating.
"Yes, Rujun, is there anyone among the eight masters who also has a Xuanmu sword? Of the three paths, only Mr. Mengdie has not shown up, could it be him? What about the two idlers? I quickly asked.
"What I can be sure of is that he will definitely not be the apprentice of the three monks, as for Mr. Mengdie, he doesn't seem to have any other attainments except for learning the way of Feng Shui, and it must not be him...... Those two idlers...... I can't guarantee that. But why is he here, and why is he ambushing me? Rujun's face was solemn, although she was ice and snow smart, but in the face of such a headless unsolved case, she couldn't make inferences.
"Maybe I hit the passenger car by mistake?" The old cat said: "It is unlikely that he would know that we would suddenly appear here, because we ourselves are here to sabotage the marriage between the two families of Xu Bai. Since he has laid an ambush here, it means that the target of his assassination will not be us. ”
"Are you saying that he is actually going to ambush the powerful ghosts of the Xu family or the Bai family?" I hurriedly asked, "But Rujun is clearly from the Wang family, why did he attack you, Rujun?" ”
The old cat thought for a while and said, "Could it be because he can't tell which Rujun belongs at all, but he just thinks that Rujun is not a living person, so he rashly makes a move?" ”
Rujun said: "Then don't you mean that he is going to attack any powerful ghost?" "Come to the acres of intestines.
The old cat said: "Not necessarily, he must be able to distinguish the ability of the ghost, he must see your strength, and know that you must be the senior master among the four major families, so he assassinated you...... From this point of view, this guy's target should not only be the Xu family and the Bai family, but also the entire underworld family. ”
"Where did such a madman come from? Why is there such a guy out of thin air all of a sudden? "I couldn't keep up with the pace of things, and the whole person was a little messed up.
"Don't worry, this guy definitely didn't come out of nowhere, his appearance was not accidental, but there must have been something that we ignored. Since he has such a deep hatred for the four major families, it means that he has a deep relationship with the four major families, and if we want to find out his motives, then we must first determine his identity. The old cat was really calmer, and he was not in a hurry to be restless, but calmly analyzed.
Rujun had already bandaged the wound at this time, and looking at the blood on her white arm, my heart was also like a knife.
"Tribulation." Suddenly, Rujun, who was sitting in front, whispered two words.
"What do you mean?" The old cat seemed to hear the deep meaning in Rujun's words, and immediately asked.
"Lin Chen is indeed worthy of being a person who peeps into the sky, he has already seen what we can't see. If he can use the two gruesome words of the Heavenly Tribulation, then this so-called Heavenly Tribulation must not be a small-scale disaster. Rujun said slowly, looking at the boundless night outside the window with a pair of eyes, and the expression on his face became solemn.
As soon as Rujun said it, I couldn't help but fall into contemplation, what kind of disaster did my grandfather see, and how many people would be involved in this catastrophe?
Four families? The Eight Veins of Immortals and Buddhas? A messenger of Hades? The people in the palanquin of Lama Temple?
Why can grandpa see so much and see so far? And we mortals have never discovered the inner connection between these things?
Grandpa, what exactly did you see?
