Chapter 207, the night is quiet, lonely men and widows
Seeing that Tang Yuan was slightly angry, Lu Feng glanced at the bamboo slip in his hand, guessed the reason, reached out to take the codex, and flipped through it.
On the codex, the handwriting is delicate, gentle and tactful, and the pen style should be from Xu Jiao'er's hand. In this book, what is recorded is the big and small things that have been recorded since the establishment of Fuxi Village.
For example, how many people were robbed and killed on a given day, who was responsible for the robbery, and how much property was seized.
Another example is where jade and spiritual grass are found in the mountains.
Lu Feng looked at it, his face was grim, and there was a trace of anger between his eyebrows, only then did he turn a few pages, judging from the records, the people robbed and killed in Fuxi Village had exceeded 100 people, even children and the elderly.
Lu Feng couldn't bear to look down, and when he was about to close the codex, he found the words "Fuxi Ancient Tomb", and continued to read it with curiosity.
The Fuxi knife in Fu Maotian's hand and the long sword in Xu Jiao'er's hand were originally obtained in the Fuxi Ancient Tomb, no wonder Xu Jiao'er was fighting against Junziyi, and there was no damage on the long sword, even if this quality was less than the level of the Five Elements Horcrux, it was considered the top among the Horcruxes.
And Ling Tian cut off Fu Maotian's Fuxi knife with a single sword, putting aside the shaking knife style, Ling Tian's own long knife must also have extremely high quality.
This made Lu Feng even more curious, a swordsman in a remote place, not only knew how to use a knife, but also had a long knife that even he couldn't see the quality.
"Fuxi Shuangjue?" Lu Feng looked at the Fuxi Shuangjue written in the codex, the words "sword combination", a little puzzled, took Fu Maotian's broken knife and Xu Jiao'er's long sword, and took a closer look.
"Look at this handle," the gentleman looked at the light of his eyes, pointing to the handle of the long sword in Lu Feng's hand.
Lu Feng looked down and found that on the handle of the long sword, there were dense and small words engraved on it, and after a closer look, he found that it was an esoteric sword technique.
"The grade is good, no worse than your Feiquan Mingyu swordsmanship," Lu Feng smiled at Junziyi and handed over the long sword, this set of Fuxi swordsmanship also has the power of soul skills, which is worth learning from Junziyi.
The broken Fuxi knife also has a set of soul skill-level sword techniques on the hilt, and there is a subtle connection between these swords, and it can exert a power that is not weaker than the Five Elements Technique under the joint battle.
Seeing this, Lu Feng couldn't help but be a little lucky, fortunately Fu Maotian was entangled, otherwise it would be really difficult for him and Xu Jiao'er to resist together.
In addition to the exercises attached to this sword, a large number of jade materials and elixir herbs were also excavated in the Fuxi Ancient Tomb, but they were later sold by Fu Maotian and exchanged for soul coins.
And this is enough to threaten the unknown poison of the powerhouse of the Five Elements Realm, but it was detained by the three masters.
Lu Feng collected the broken knife of the river and took another book, which recorded the account and capital transactions of Fuxi Village, from which Lu Feng finally understood the flow of the two percent of the funds.
The distribution of the property of Fuxi Village was in the hands of the bandits who died before Lu Feng had already learned that forty percent of the property obtained from the looting belonged to the looters, and forty percent was filled into the treasury of Fuxi Village for business needs, and the remaining two percent Lu Feng did not know before, but it was clear from this account book.
"It's actually the collusion of officials and bandits!" Lu Feng scolded, the remaining twenty percent of the wealth actually flowed to the prison of Tianyuan City, no wonder the spirit prison has been turning a blind eye to this Fuxi Village.
Lu Feng put away the account book, in case of emergency, Fuxi Village was divided, and the financial resources of the prison government were cut off in disguise.
Tang Yuan put away the bamboo slips, looked at the bottom of the mountain, the direction of Tianyuan City, and said: "This secret method of the blood clan is from Tianyuan City, and I don't know what happened to Ma Qiufeng and them." ”
"Pack up, let's go to Tian Yuan City," Lu Feng walked towards the corpses of Fu Maotian and the others, and took the proof of completion required for the soul hunting mission. Ruoshui has also roughly counted the belongings in the Fumao Tianna Ring, and there are more than 8 million soul coins, so you can imagine how many lives have been looted and mutilated in Fuxi Village over the years.
With the soul coins "picked up" by Fuxi Village, the bounty of this soul hunting task is really not worth mentioning, and Lu Feng still went to Junmanlou to receive it in the spirit of raising his hands.
On the way back, Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun explained the origin of Ruoshui, and after the latter learned about Ruoshui's miserable life experience, he understood that Ruoshui's dependence on Lu Feng was not all admiration, but mixed with brother and sister love.
Calculating the time, it has been more than half a month since he came out of the Black Ice Cliff, and Lu Feng has experienced too much in this half month, from Ruoshui poisoning and killing Yang Wu, to being investigated and questioned by the Spirit Prison, from assessing the mentor, to suppressing the changes in the war situation, from the simulated realm to Qianfeng County, and then to the convex island to kill the dry water beast, and finally take over the soul hunting task to clear Fuxi Village.
Along the way, everyone's hearts have been a lot more resolute, and the strength of Tang Yuan and Ruoshui has also been greatly improved. The most joyful thing is the reunion with Jiang Ruoyun, which is completely unexpected.
The half-moon appointment with Su Qing'er has arrived, although Lu Feng is concerned about whether the scholar has arrived in the spirit prison, but since he will pass by Tianyuan City on the way back, he promised Su Qing'er to go to her house to take a look at the formation, and he just happened to fulfill the contract along the way.
After handing over the soul hunting mission, it was almost evening, and Lu Feng and his party hurried to Songmu Town to stop and find a shop to rest.
In the evening, in order to celebrate Jun Ziyi's acquaintance and Jiang Ruoyun's return, everyone ordered a large table of wine and food, and everyone went back to the room to rest after being slightly drunk.
Late at night, everyone had already fallen asleep, and the two figures in the courtyard of the inn were sitting together in silence, which was Lu Feng and Jiang Ruoyun, who had been separated for many days.
During the day, Jiang Ruoyun, who is still quiet and elegant, is alone with Lu Feng at the moment, and has a touch of playfulness and gentleness in the past, and the little woman is shy.
Because of the wine, Jiang Ruoyun's already fair and smooth cheeks steamed a touch of crimson, and under the moonlight, the white was red, which was even more delicate and amiable.
The night is quiet, the lonely man and the widow, reunited after a long absence, the two open their hearts through wine, and there seem to be endless words.
"What have you experienced in the past few months?" Lu Feng didn't want to inquire, but looking at the huge changes in Jiang Ruoyun's appearance, he was worried that there were hidden dangers.
If it is just a change in temperament and a little more mature, it will be okay, but Jiang Ruoyun's appearance is clear, as if he has grown up a lot, and he feels very stunned.
Jiang Ruoyun pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "Although I have only been missing for a few months in your world, in my world, three full years have passed. ”
Lu Feng looked at Jiang Ruoyun in surprise, a trace of thought flashed between his eyebrows, and he guessed: "You were taken to the simulated realm by the master who rescued you?"
Jiang Ruoyun nodded, and shook his head again: "I was captured by the blood demon and was seriously injured and unconscious, but fortunately, the master passed by to save me," Speaking of this, Jiang Ruoyun's tone became a lot more respectful, "The master brought me back to her sect overnight in order to save me, and it has been three days since I woke up, although the injury is half better, but the terrifying aura in my body has recurred, and the master even did not hesitate to damage his cultivation in order to suppress it." ”
"In order to completely suppress that terrifying aura, the master used a secret method to set up a ban with several elders in the sect, but the ban required enough time to arrange, so they had to place me in the simulated realm, and it took many days to successfully lay it down due to the time difference between inside and outside. ”
"Later, although the ban on suppressing the terrifying aura was set, my strength was too weak at that time, and my soul strength was not enough, so I couldn't break away rashly, so I had to stay in the simulated realm to cultivate under the instructions of my master, and this cultivation was more than two years, and it was not until recently that I broke through to the Ning Dan realm. ”
Jiang Ruoyun's words revealed a hint of regret, although the time in the simulated realm was countless faster than the outside world, but the cultivation speed and environment were far inferior to the outside world.
Lu Feng looked at Jiang Ruoyun, she did not look like an eighteen-year-old girl at the moment, she was much more mature, a little less immature, and a little more delicate and sexy.
"I'm twenty-one years old like you now," Jiang Ruoyun smiled happily, saying that there was a little more blush on her face.
Lu Feng quipped when he heard this: "Wouldn't that be a better match?"
Jiang Ruoyun's cheeks, which were already slightly red, were even more red after hearing Lu Feng's words, and the sea of souls trembled, and then asked seriously: "Do you remember when I proposed to dissolve the contract between us in front of my grandmother's grave?
Lu Feng shook his head: "The drop of essence blood you left in the deed array is too domineering and terrifying, I'm afraid I can't solve this deed array," recalling Jiang Ruoyun's original suggestion, Lu Feng didn't dare to respond at that time due to the injury of the Seven Spirits, and at this moment he had no worries about his life, so he turned to recall: "If you are worried, why don't we change it to the Mandarin Duck Formation?"
Jiang Ruoyunqiao's face was flushed, a happy smile flashed in her eyes, and she was just about to say yes, when she suddenly remembered what the master said before leaving, and hesitated slightly between her eyebrows: "Once the mandarin duck combination array is laid down, it is extremely difficult to lift, and in the future, it will live and die together, even if one party is seriously injured, the other party will be implicated, have you thought about it?"
Lu Feng smiled gently: "For the formation, I know more than you, although the combined array will be restrained by the other party, it also has advantages, practicing together, resonating with each other, it can greatly improve the speed of our absorption and operation of spiritual energy." ”
"Okay, for the sake of cultivation speed, let's take advantage of it," Jiang Ruoyun smiled, but his heart was full of excitement.
"Just for the sake of cultivation speed?" Lu Feng stepped forward and stared at Jiang Ruoyun viciously.
Jiang Ruoyun's face turned red, very coquettish, and the tenderness in his eyes was full of tenderness, and he murmured like a mosquito: "You hate it!"
Lu Feng looked at Jiang Ruoyun, looked at each other, and promised seriously: "I am only allowed to take advantage of this advantage, and I will not let anyone hurt you in the future." ”
"That's what you said," Jiang Ruoyun's heart was full of sweetness, and he spread out his hands with a smile, waiting for Lu Feng to arrange the formation.
Lu Feng stretched out his hand to hold Jiang Ruoyun's two hands, approached him, and said softly: "There is a formation between us, and this combination formation does not need to be so complicated." ”
As he spoke, Lu Feng's forehead lightly touched it.
The two of them pressed their foreheads together, their hands gently clasped together, and the tip of their noses felt the heat from each other's breath.
Jiang Ruoyun was taken aback by this sudden scene, and subconsciously wanted to dodge out of shyness, but suddenly noticed a trace of coolness coming from his forehead, and then the soul in the sea of souls began to be pulled.
A sense of intimacy from the depths of the soul began to spread in the heart, and the uncontrolled transmission of the soul flow to the other party's soul sea, the soul sea of the two sides converged, the life and soul blended, and their essence and blood mixed and coagulated.
"Okay," Lu Feng exhaled, leaving Jiang Ruoyun's forehead with a slight reluctance.
"So fast?" Jiang Ruoyun reached out and touched her forehead, which was still warm, it took her a long time to arrange the formation at the beginning, and the formation was so fast at this moment?
Lu Feng took out a bronze mirror and said with a smile: "Look at the mark on your forehead." ”
After the combination array was laid down, Jiang Ruoyun's forehead was a touch of bright red, she stroked the mark on her forehead, looked at the picture in the bronze mirror, and couldn't help laughing, "It's not bad, it's good-looking." ”
Jiang Ruoyun's originally elegant and indifferent face had a hint of redness, not only was it half abrupt, but it was like the finishing touch, which gave her a different kind of beauty.
"I've improved the Fusion Array, and if I don't deliberately manifest it when using the aura, this mark won't appear," Lu Feng said in a loud voice.
Jiang Ruoyun glared at Lu Feng and teased, "Aren't you worried that this mark will make people misunderstand that we are a little couple and a little partner?"
