Chapter Twenty-Three: The Mysterious Man
"Are you alright?"
The young man lowered his voice and asked Chu Muxi, because the voice pressure was extremely low, some were distorted, and even some were too hoarse and strange.
Chu Muxi frowned and looked up at the young man, who was wearing a mask that covered his entire face, the mask was white as a whole, and he had a simple face painted, but he couldn't see any of the young man's facial features at all.
"It's okay, let go." Chu Muxi's tone was indifferent, there was no politeness after being rescued, nor the anger of a girl after being offended, just calm and indifferent.
Then he indifferently broke the hand of the young man holding his waist, and then unceremoniously lifted Shunhua and rushed towards the ghost bride who had attacked him just now. I didn't pay attention to it just now, and I dared to sneak attack myself, I was really looking for death. Shunhua's sword body bloomed with dazzling brilliance, and the epiphany of the sword body seemed to bloom in an instant. Chu Muxi's speed is extremely fast, but this ghost bride seems to be different from the previous one, this one's speed is extremely fast. The figure is fast, even the Hehuan Sect's body is slower than her. Damn it, who made this demonic thing.
Chu Muxi bit her back molars and was very dissatisfied and angry, she didn't like this thing at all.
"Zhengβ"
Suddenly, there was a sound of guqin playing, and the two streams turned into ropes and quickly tied up the ghost bride who was fleeing in all directions. Chu Muxi looked back, and found that the young man had an extra guqin in his arms at some point, and he was plucking the strings with his fingers, and as the sound of the piano popped out, streamers also turned into tangible bodies from the piano and attacked the ghost bride, restraining the other party's actions.
Chu Muxi was also unceremoniously, taking advantage of the moment when the other party was restrained and slowing down, he rushed down and directly cut off the opponent's head with a sword.
The hijab slipped off the ghost bride's head, revealing the ghost bride's face. Compared with the previous bride without skin, this bride's skin is complete, and you can see the original delicate face. But the bride's eyes were gouged out, so there were only two dark hollow eye sockets. Like the previous bride, thick black blood flowed from the bride's severed neck, and after the blood turned into flames and burned the entire skull, the bride's body finally turned into a white skeleton in a wedding dress and fell to the ground.
Chu Muxi fell to the ground, and the black blood on Shunhua's sword was also absorbed by Shunhua, only the faint epiphany pattern on the sword seemed to shine a little more after absorbing the black blood.
The crisis faded temporarily, and Chu Muxi fell to the ground, putting Shun Hua back into the scabbard.
"Young master......" Miao Lanlan walked up to Chu Muxi holding her injured arm.
Chu Muxi's mask only covered the upper half of his face, and the lower half of his face was exposed, and his lips were slightly pursed, looking very unhappy. Miao Lanlan knew that she must be indispensable for a lesson, and it was not just a matter of saying that the young sect master was picky and poisonous.
Before Chu Muxi could speak, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone, it was the young man, the young man dragged Chu Muxi to the outside of the Ghost Crying Forest, and said in his mouth: "This forest is full of weirdness, it's better for the young master and this senior sister not to stay here and talk."
shouted the young master in his mouth, but there was no respect in his movements. Even Miao Lanlan felt that this benevolent brother estimated that he would be cut off by Chu Muxi's sword, but in fact, Chu Muxi did not move, but was calmly pulled out of the forest. Miao Lanlan didn't know why, but she also knew that it was dangerous to stay here, so she obediently followed the two big guys to leave the broken forest together.
In fact, Chu Muxi was distracted. This man gives himself a very familiar feeling, how to describe it? Acquaintance with Jun Chu is like returning to an old friend.
The other party's action and back pulling him reminded Chu Muxi of some things when he was a child.
Although Chu Muxi and Mu Xiyan are twins, Chu Muxi was born frail and sickly, much weaker than her sister. And the Demon Domain is a place to eat people, where strength represents everything, so when Chu Yu chose Chu Muxi as the young sect master of the Hehuan Sect, many people disagreed and disapproved.
Chu Muxi is too young and too weak, she can't protect the Hehuan Sect and can't take care of others. That was what many people thought of Chu Muxi at that time, and Chu Muxi when he was a child was not as cold-blooded and ruthless as he is now.
When Chu Muxi was a child, he would secretly hide and wipe his tears when he heard this kind of remarks, Chu Muxi's best friend when he was a child was actually not Qi Sisi, but another little girl named Jingxiang, Chu Muxi likes to call her Xiangxiang, although the girl dislikes this rustic nickname but always connives.
A picture crossed Chu Muxi's mind.
I remember an older girl dragging another smaller girl's hand across the corridor.
[They snatched your stuff and hit it back!] You are the young master of the Hehuan Sect, how can you be trampled on the head and bullied by other disciples! γ
[Xiaoxi, you have to remember! You are the young master of the Hehuan Sect, you are Chu Muxi, the daughter of the sect master of Chu Yu, and no one in the Hehuan Sect can bully you. γ
[If anyone bullies you, if you can't beat it, call your sister to go, and if you can't find your sister, look for me! ] γ
[I will also protect you and will not let anyone bully you!] γ
Chu Muxi pressed her temples with a headache, since she came out of the customs three hundred years ago, she had a headache from time to time, and there was a problem with her memory, and she often couldn't remember some things when she was a child, and she couldn't remember it, but suddenly she would remember it one day.
For example, now, when she looked at the back of the young man, she actually thought of Xiangxiang. It's really strange, although Xiangxiang's shoulders are indeed a little too wide, her arms are a little thick, and her strength is a little big, but the other party is a good sister who has bathed with her, how can she be a man?
When Chu Muxi came back to his senses, the person was already outside the Ghost Crying Forest, and the man also let go of Chu Muxi.
Chu Muxi frowned and stared at the other party, and asked, "You are also a disciple of the Hehuan Sect?" How come I have never met you? β
"Young master."
Miao Lanlan shouted softly: "This one I have seen, Senior Brother Xiang in the sect, is a new senior brother, the elders have passed the test, and he is a member of the Hehuan Sect."
The only one who could be verified by the elders was the child born to the disciples of the Hehuan Sect. The disciples of the Hehuan Sect are free and loose, and there are not a few who marry and have children.
"When did you come to the Hehuan Sect?" Chu Muxi asked.
The man replied very calmly, "Two hundred and eighty-seven years ago."
Coincidentally, at this time, Chu Muxi was pretending to be an infatuated little witch outside to accompany people in the temple to recite scriptures. No wonder he hadn't seen it, Chu Muxi nodded.
Then she turned to Miao Lanlan again, took out the elixir refined by Yu Jing from the storage ring and threw it to her, and Miao Lanlan took it very obediently.
Chu Muxi saw that the other party's wound was slowly recovering before asking, "Miao Lanlan, how could you, a disciple of the Hehuan Sect, appear in such a place, and why did you provoke that ghost bride?"
