As soon as Han Lu came back from the family school, he heard the news from his family.

"What, she ruined the dowry?"

The servant woman's face was full of disapproval, and she pouted: "Yes, the best silk and satin are cut into rags, and there are cakes and fruits, and they are smashed to pieces." Through the courtyard gate, they heard the sound of clanging inside, and the little girls all said that the woman was crazy, and no one would go to deliver food. ”

Han Lu paused with the hand holding the teacup, and unconsciously exhaled a breath of turbidity.

He was ridiculed in the academy just now, because of his poor qualifications, he couldn't master the law of qi refining entry, but when he heard the news that Huo Rongdong was crazy, all those irritability just now disappeared.

What about being stronger than his spiritual root? As long as he takes the red pill, the aura cultivation is not yet handy.

There are so many children of the Han family, who can have such luck?

His father said that the children of destiny had to go through trials and tribulations in the early stage, and he felt that he was like that.

Han Lu slowly drank the tea, and his face returned to calm.

He had been fishing for this village mortal girl with sweet words before, but now that he heard the servant woman's report, he knew that Huo Rongdong was probably dead to him, and he even felt a little more relaxed in his heart, at least he didn't have to be with lowly mortals anymore.

"Crazy is crazy, as long as you don't go crazy and lose the face of the Han family outside, whatever she does."

Han Lu snorted, and whispered, "Watch tightly, don't die." At least it's going to take a few days, don't miss the big thing of the head of the family, understand? ”

The servant woman whispered.

Han Lu put his hands in his sleeves, thinking that tomorrow would be the day when the sect's general election began, and his ordinary eyebrows and eyes were more ruthless and resolute.

The path of cultivating immortals has been settled, and he doesn't need any superfluous feelings next to him.

*

The sun was setting in the west, and the withered courtyard was silent again.

Snacks such as peanut longan were scattered all over the ground, trampled and reduced to sludge along with other dowry gifts.

The red satin wedding dress was cut to shreds and thrown on the ground, discarded like a shoe.

Huo Honeysuckle sat under the old ginkgo tree, her slender back neck bone protruding, like a tree that had dried up.

Her heart was full of the discomfort of overturning the river and the sea, which was the sadness, anger, and helplessness of ordinary mortals, like boiling water pouring oil, but there was nowhere to vent helplessness.

After the Han family's wolf ambition was revealed, the previous strange phenomena were explained: without a father or mother, she would not have a family to find her trouble; has no worries, and uses evil methods to deal with her, Han Lu has no worries.

Now that I think about it, the Han family's attitude towards her has always been like an inanimate object. She is a tool that doesn't need to communicate, she can get by by giving something, and of course she doesn't need to be treated with exquisite food and clothing.

It was her delusional thinking that mortals could really marry the "immortal master".

I don't know what day it is outside, but there is a lot of noise.

Separated by a courtyard wall, the Han family is happy with hundreds of people.

She heard the sound of the servants passing food, the elders' encouragement to their children, the movement of Han Yuzhi and the other siblings discussing cultivation, and the delightful laughter of the maids.

They are all so normal, happy around the head of the family, looking like the joy of heaven and man in the same house of father and son filial piety. It seems that he doesn't even know that in the place between the walls, there is a mortal woman who is about to die.

Huo Rongdong used scissors to tear up all the yellow talismans that were attached to the stool and under the table, but she didn't know how many were still hidden in the invisible place.

There were only two side rooms in the small courtyard, and she didn't dare to sleep in any of them, those rooms were man-eating or wild beasts, so she could only wrap the quilt and sit under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard for the night.

The night wind howled coldly, and the cool moisture seeped in from the soles of her feet, down the dirt and tree trunks into her limbs, and her teeth shivered from the cold. Only the family heirloom warm jade pendant gave her a trace of warmth in her heart.

In the second half of the night, it even rained lightly. She leaned against the cold trunk of the tree, and missed the grass village very much.

I miss her dilapidated and simple thatched hut, I miss my neighbor's warm and simple aunt, and I miss her safe and clean home.

A few hours passed, Huo Rendong curled up under the tree, her body was almost numb from the cold, she could hardly feel the presence of her hands and feet, and the cold and damp quilt could not block the invasion of evil magic.

At first, she could still taste the bloodshot rust in her mouth, but then all her senses gradually blurred.

Even though the yellow charms in the house were destroyed, she still began to lose her sense of taste and smell.

Huo Nindong didn't dare to sleep with her eyes open, she looked at the eastern sky, waiting for a touch of orange to break the darkness.

In the lonely courtyard, everyone was waiting for her to accept her fate and wait for her to die.

But she didn't want to just swallow her breath.

Han Lu was just like a mortal when he was in Xiaocao Village, and he was not even better than her in farming. Why can't she do something like this that a weak person can do?

She wants revenge, she wants to make these immortal masters who are careless about people's lives regret.

The gate was locked from the outside, leaving only a dog hole to stuff some food in.

The Han family obviously didn't care about her, and they didn't know that the old ginkgo tree in the yard was tall enough, and the branches and leaves stretched out beyond the wall.

Huo Rongdong waited quietly until dawn before acting.

She grew up relying on the mountains and eating mountains, and she doesn't know how many times she has lived alone in the wild, and of course such a trivial thing as climbing a tree is not difficult for her. Following the branches of the ginkgo tree, she stepped on the tiles of the courtyard wall and carefully climbed down.

In the east, there was already an orange halo and a dark night, and the alley was quiet and there were no pedestrians.

But even so, Huo Rendong did not relax in the slightest, the immortals in Qiushui Town lived together, she was afraid of encountering more dangerous things, and she had to wait until dawn to dare to go out.

She has a very good memory, and after only walking once, she remembers the way to the stone bridge completely.

The white-haired son, he said that he was related to the Huo family's ancestor, and Huo Rongdong knew that he was her only chance to live.

There was a light rain last night, and the wet fallen leaves stuck to the stone road, and it was easy to slip when you stepped on it. The sky will be dark, and there are already a few vendors selling morning food on the roadside in the center of the town, rubbing their hands and preparing to open their stalls.

Huo Nindong wrapped in a cotton jacket, shuffling along the street, exhaling a cold mist that covered his face, and there was no trace of stunning appearance at all.

She came to the bridge with tenacity and perseverance, and in the early morning a layer of white mist filled the river surface, and the stone bridge was empty.

Huo Rongdong sat down against the cold stone pillar, hugged his knees and looked into the distance, expecting to see the figure wearing a hat and a cloak again.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour......

As time slowly flowed, there were more pedestrians, and small stalls and vendors began to appear at the bridge.

The high level of fear and nervousness burned her spirit, Huo Rendong was drowsy, and suddenly felt something heavy on her feet. Sitting up straight, it turned out to be two middle-aged couples selling vegetables setting up stalls next to her, and the vegetable basket pressed her feet.

The two of them were weathered and weathered, and they looked like ordinary mortals.

Huo Rendong rubbed his arm that was already frozen and numb, and asked, "Uncle and aunt, have you seen a white-haired man passing by?" ”

She is such a big person, even if she is embarrassed like a beggar, it stands to reason that she should not be crushed. But the middle-aged couple who sold vegetables didn't seem to see her, and they didn't react to the conversation at all, and they were still doing their own thing.

Huo Rendong saw their appearance, and remembered that day when he was hit by a porter outside the Qianjin Hall, and a chill suddenly spread from behind.

There are a lot of people on the bridge, and that boy won't come to fish.

She got up and stumbled under the bridge.

All the vendors and passers-by turned a blind eye to her. No matter how Huo Rongdong asked for help and shouted, it was as if there was no such person in front of him. They laughed and haggled with each other, or picked and picked goods, without the slightest hint of anything out of the ordinary.

When a person loses his sense of being a human being, he ceases to be human.

Huo Nindong stood in the middle of the road, although the sun had risen, she felt cold all around, and even her eyes were black for a while.

The curse of the red pill can not only cause the death of the human body, but also sever the last connection between the person and the world. As long as no one notices her, no one can help her, she will be completely reduced to a piece of flesh and blood, a medicinal herb.

In the chaotic noise in her ears, there were suddenly a few steady steps, Huo Rongdong was already at the end of the strong crossbow, and she was keenly aware of something at the last moment of her life.

It was someone behind him who caught up, and the Han family found out!

Those people surrounded the intersection under the bridge, and there was no way, Huo Rongdong could only run to the other end in a panic.

There are no mortals setting up stalls here, and it is very quiet and wide, so the footsteps behind him are particularly clear.

Those people gradually narrowed the distance between them and her, and Huo Rongdong had lost his vision, and could only see patches of patches.

Finally, when the last light in front of her eyes disappeared, she fell to the ground.

The tentacle floor tiles were cold and slippery, and Huo Honeysuckle roared like a breakdown, and she propped the ground with her elbows, moving her body forward in vain.

She doesn't want to ...... Don't just die!

The next moment, a piece of clothing brushed the back of her hand, and then a familiar voice sounded.

"Is that you?"

Huo Rongdong was stunned for a moment, she had lost her vision at this moment, and it was dark in front of her, but she still waved her arms and tightly grasped the robe of the person in front of her.

"Help Me ......"

Qi Ci had been descending from Bai Yujing for several days, and he had originally planned to buy some pills and leave Qiushui Town today. It's just that he felt restless early in the morning, but he didn't expect to save Huo Rongdong in the alley.

He still remembered that this little woman of the Huo family was kind enough to give her a pill, who would have thought that it would not take long for her to become like this.

Qi Ci squatted down and said patiently: "Do you really want me to save you?" I'm not a good person, and it's probably even more dangerous to follow me. ”

The eyes of the woman in front of her had lost their brilliance, but she was still stubbornly looking in his direction. Those eyes that were once sparkling were already gray inside.

Qi Ci was holding the hem of his clothes and didn't move, but the killer who followed the smell not far away couldn't sit still.

They are the disciples of the Han family, and the highest is only in the late stage of Qi refining, this kind of cultivation is enough to walk sideways in front of mortals, but in the eyes of cultivators, it is nothing.

The white-haired man in front of him wearing a hat didn't have a magic robe and treasure on his body, but he couldn't see his cultivation at all, so people didn't dare to be careless.

The little leader of the thugs stepped forward and hugged his fists, and pointed to Huo Rendong on the ground: "This Daoist, this is the mortal girl who our young master of the Han family married into the door, she is seriously ill, and I also ask Daoyou not to interfere in the housework of the Han family." ”

Report the name of the Han family, and the big and small families in Qiushui Town will give some face.

Qi Ci nodded: "It turned out to be the Han family under the Thousand Machine Pavilion." ”

Several thugs showed satisfied expressions: "Exactly! ”

Han Yi, the elder brother of the head of the Han family, is the worship elder of the Qianji Pavilion, and now he is the late stage of Jindan's cultivation, and he is the highest one in the Han family. The Thousand Machine Pavilion is the number one sect in Baiyu Kyoto, not to mention the intertwined family interests.

"I see." Qi Ci held Huo Rongdong's arm and lifted the person up, but he didn't mean to hand her over.

He showed a faint smile, and a pair of phoenix eyes were cold: "Han Yi is a character, but what kind of thing is the Han family?" ”

Hearing this, the faces of several people changed, and they pulled out their swords at their waists and wanted to rush up, but they were blocked by Qi Ci with a snap of their fingers.

Hearing a crisp sound of "ding", the spirit sword shattered into sections of iron at his fingertips. The thug in the Qi refining period only felt that he had hit an extremely hard wall, and then a terrifying coercion poured down, not only breaking his sword, but also crushing their backbones.

Several thugs were also monks, but at the moment they were lying on the ground and couldn't stand up at all, and they vomited blood with a mouthful of "wow".

The first one begged for mercy in fear: "Seniors, seniors spare their lives......"

saw that the white-haired man easily carried Huo Rendong on his shoulder, turned around and left, and his voice was cold.

"The means of making this kind of subordinate, guessing that I also want to participate in the sect election, then I will go and see what kind of goods the Han family is."
