Chapter 0172: The down-and-out Ruan Yu
Chu Xidu's body was originally to be cremated last, but He Jiuzhang finally decided to bury him in a coffin.
His appearance was cleaned up, and he was replaced with his favorite white brocade robe, but his exposed skin was still covered with shocking wounds.
The scars of the sharp object were a sign of what a horrific scene he had endured before he died!
Ruan Li stood beside the sarcophagus with red eyes and looked at him for a long time, and he just lay quietly in it like that, never smiling again.
It's just that Ruan Li has calmed down a lot now, and the pain and hurt caused to her by this incident have been buried in the deepest part of her heart, and the only thing she can think about now is to avenge Senior Brother Jinyang and Senior Brother Xidui with her own hands one day.
She knew that the head of the family would never let go of the culprit easily!
"Cover the coffin."
He Jiuzhang's expression was heavy, and he ordered the disciples on the side to cover the coffin, and he decided to bury Chu Xi on the mountain with an excellent view in the rear.
He'd been in Boundless Peak for too long, and he didn't want to be buried there alone.
"Wait a minute!"
Who knows, Ruan Li suddenly raised her hand and stopped the movement of covering the coffin, her eyes fell on the scars on Senior Brother Xidu's face, and her expression was inquiring.
"What's wrong?"
The others cast puzzled glances, and Crane Jiuzhang asked.
Ruan Li's brows furrowed slightly, looking at Chu Xidu's face and thinking hard, after a while, she finally confirmed: "I have seen this wound!" ”
raised his head, looked at the head and the uncles, and said in a firm tone: "On Senior Sister Yunjiao's body!" ”
"What?" Hu Yang was startled and turned his head to look at Furong: "Your apprentice was also injured like this?" ”
Furong shook her head, although Shui Yunjiao also suffered a lot of skin injuries, but the serious ones were internal injuries, and there were no such shocking cuts on her body.
Seeing this, Ruan Li said bluntly: "It's not this time, but a few months ago in Yuelu Mountain, Senior Sister Yun Jiao escaped death, and when I found her, the injuries on her body were exactly the same as those of Senior Brother Xidu. ”
The wound was sharp, and the cut was neat, as if it had been wounded by the same sharp weapon.
It's just that after the senior sister was injured, she began to treat her injuries, and the scars on her body also disappeared after a few months of medicated dressing, and now there is obviously no comparison!
But as long as Senior Sister sees Senior Brother Xidu's scars, she will definitely be able to recognize them.
"How is Shui Yunjiao doing now?" Crane Jiuzhang asked Furong.
Fleur sighed: "Not long after I woke up, my spirit was not very good, and I was very frightened. ”
In just a few months, she has experienced two escapes from death, in the end, she is lucky, but the psychological damage brought to her by these two events is huge!
After hesitating for a moment, He Jiuzhang still said, "Bring people and confirm it." ”
At present, there is not the slightest clue about the whole thing, if Shui Yunjiao can recognize that this wound is really the same as the one she suffered before, then this will be the only progress in the whole thing!
No matter what, you can't miss a single detail.
After a while, Shui Yunjiao was helped by her tiredness, her face was extremely bad, and she was white.
"Senior Sister ......"
Ruan Li stepped forward worriedly, but Shui Yunjiao already knew what she meant, and said forcefully to reassure: "Don't worry, I'm fine." ”
But despite what she said, when she saw Chu Xijie lying in the wooden coffin, Shui Yunjiao couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry.
If it weren't for Senior Brother Xidu, the seven people who survived would definitely die in Fuyun Ridge!
"Yun Jiao, carefully identify the wounds on Xi Jue's body, is it consistent with the injuries you received when you were in Yuelu Mountain before?" Fleur asked.
Shui Yunjiao only glanced at it, then nodded.
Because the wound has a feature, the neat cut surface is crescent-shaped, this kind of wound is a feature that will be left when the sharp weapon rotates, such as the blades of Ruan Li's steel fan when it rotates in the air, leaving a wound similar to this shape.
"Then do you remember what happened in Yuelu Mountain before?"
Shui Yunjiao shook her head: "The other party's methods are ruthless, it seems to be indiscriminate slaughter, I am unconscious for a moment, and it is a fluke to be alive." ”
In this way, Furong didn't ask any more, but asked Shui Yunjiao to hurry back and rest.
Crane Jiuzhang fell into deep thought, from this point of view, this invader not only has great strength, but may not even have any purpose, just to kill for the sake of killing?
But soon, Crane Jiuzhang denied this idea.
The other party first made a move against the Tiangui Sect, and then against the Northern Void Sword Sect, and there were other actions to keep it up, this is definitely not as simple as killing people for fun, the other party's purpose is already very strong!
"Senior Brother Wan, is there a survivor in the Northern Void Sword Sect?" He Jiuzhang asked suddenly.
Wan Qiu shook his head: "No, more than nine hundred disciples, including the two elders who cultivated in the late stage of the Yudan Realm, were not spared. ”
Hu Yang said: "The cultivation level of the Yuanying Realm is not an opponent in the West, let alone the Yudan Realm. ”
"Senior Brother Wan, you personally go to the Northern Void Sword Sect and compare what the injuries on their injured disciples are, no matter what, these traces can't be erased." Crane Nine Chapter Road.
In the Fuyunling incident, through the injuries of the dead disciples and the descriptions of the surviving disciples, it can be basically determined that there were two intruders.
The situation on the side of the Northern Void Sword Sect is still unknown, if it dies in different ways, it can be preliminarily determined how many people there are in the other party's line.
The enemy and the truth are still far away, and they have to take it one step at a time!
And the dead have not yet seen their eyes, but the living will continue to move on.
The original intention of the Fuyunling Trial was to allow the disciples to compete fairly for the last twenty places, but in the end, only seven people survived, and the remaining thirteen places were discussed by the elders of each hall, and the final results were given.
In the list, there is Ruan Lin!
"It's a good thing I didn't go to the trial, otherwise I might have died."
"Senior brother, don't say that, it's a pity that the sect has lost so many of its fellow sects!"
Ruan Lin looked at Ruan Xiang, snorted lightly, and said with a smile: "You are kind to make me worry, the path of cultivation is originally walked out by yourself, you have the heart to care about others, it is better to think more about yourself." When I go to the Royal Family Academy, you will have to stay in the sect by yourself and be careful of being bullied. ”
Ruan Xiang narrowed her eyes, she has a gentle temperament, if it weren't for the friendship between the two families since childhood and growing up with Ruan Lin, Ruan Lin may not be with her wherever she goes!
And in the sect, there are actually only two of them in the Ruan family, so Ruan Xiang feels that he should follow Ruan Lin.
She is not very talented, and she can pass the trial because she is reluctant to join forces with others, compared to Ruan Lin, she does not have those competitive desires, she feels that she can worship the Tiangui Sect to win glory for the family, she just wants to concentrate on cultivation.
"I will cultivate well, but the Royal Family Cultivation Academy is not as good as the sect, I heard that there are many rules there, you don't have to be ruthless anymore." Ruan Xiang instructed Ruan Lin!
"Don't worry, I'll be stronger than I am now." Ruan Lin's gaze became deep and firm.
And Ruan Xiang looked at him a little puzzled, obviously his cultivation was only to build the foundation realm, why was the senior brother so strong when he was in actual combat, she asked the reason, but she didn't believe it.
Experience and luck may really be able to transcend cultivation in the early realm, but it is unlikely that it will be like this every time.
This may be the senior brother's secret, although she is curious, she doesn't want to snoop anymore!
At the same time, Ruan Heng actually received a letter from Ruan Zichun, and a major incident occurred in Ruan's family.
Ruan Yu ran away from home!
"Running away from home?"
Ruan Li was shocked when he learned about it, but he was more puzzled, although this Ruan Yu spiritual root was no longer able to practice, he was still the treasure in the palm of Ruan Zixiong and the Qin family, and Ruan Zixiong hadn't even given up on him.
How did you run away from home?
Ruan Heng nodded: "This letter has been sent for a while, I haven't been in the sect so I haven't received it, and I only got it when I came back this time, so it can be seen that Ruan Yu has been away from home for a while." ”
Ruan Zichun would write letters to Ruan Heng from time to time, even if Ruan Heng didn't even go back to Ruan's house, Ruan Zichun seemed to understand that Ruan Heng was his future dependence.
Sometimes the letter will be sent to the academy, sometimes it will be sent to the sect, Ruan Heng also reads it, but never replys!
He has never been able to forgive his mother's death!
"The head of the family and his wife have given birth to another son." Ruan Heng explained the reason.
In this way, Ruan Li couldn't help but suddenly have a new hope, and it was inevitable that he would ignore Ruan Yu.
And Ruan Yu is arrogant and sensitive by nature, even if Ruan Zixiong doesn't show anything, he will be cranky himself.
It's just the decision to run away from home, I'm afraid it's a bit reckless, since I grew up in fine clothes and food, where do I know the hardships of wandering outside, I'm afraid that I will have to use all my strength to live when the time comes.
In a ruined temple outside Fengyang County, a little beggar walked in with a begging bowl humming a little song, the bowl was open-toothed, and two dry bread were placed in it!
He put the bowl on the ground, and went to the yard to pick up some firewood, Fengyang County in winter was covered in silver, very beautiful and cold.
And it was when he went out to collect firewood, behind the Buddha statue in the broken temple, a figure leaned out, he looked at the bread in the bowl on the ground, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
In the next second, he rushed forward, so hungry, picked up the bread and began to nibble on it, even if the bread was hard, he couldn't care much about it!
"Who are you! That's my stuff, you put it down! ”
The beggar threw aside the firewood in his arms, shouted and rushed up, and the two of them scuffled together for two pieces of dry bread!
Unexpectedly, the man pushed hard, and the beggar's already thin body was unstable, and he stumbled two steps and then leaned back directly.
With a muffled thud, his head slammed firmly into the stone pier, and his eyes were silent with angry glare.
And the uninvited guest was still gobbling up the bread he had snatched, and his eyes were looking at the people who died because of him on the ground without emotion!
It wasn't until he had eaten the two pieces of bread that he came closer.
It was the first time he had killed someone, and even if it was by mistake, the man was clearly dead!
As if he realized it later, Ruan Yu stood up and retreated to the door in a hurry, the outside world was snowing heavily, the cold wind was cold and biting, he was like a duckweed in this bleak night, no one to rely on, nowhere to go!
In the end, he went all the way to Fengyang County and hid in the back alley of a restaurant.
As for the corpse, it's just a beggar, and no one should care.
In the corner, he picked up the discarded hay on the ground and covered his body, the night wind blew in through the cracks, it was still cold, but he had no other way!
The door in the backyard of the restaurant suddenly opened, and a group of people carrying a bucket of leftovers were placed directly on the outer wall of the door.
Almost instantly, five or six beggar-looking children suddenly burst out of one corner and scrambled to snatch the food from the bucket!
The leftovers of the restaurant, there are fish and shrimp, and there are meatballs!
Ruan Yu shrank in the corner and looked at it in a daze, as if he saw his future life, or he was thinking, it turned out that there were still people who were willing to take the initiative to feed the beggars, so he had just killed someone because of two pieces of bread......
It's really ironic, he seems to be a reckless person who has broken into the rivers and lakes, and he doesn't know the way to survive, nor does he understand the rules of various ethnic groups!
A little beggar in ragged clothes squeezed out of the crowd, his bowl stacked with all kinds of food, and the food was so mixed that it was impossible to see itself, except for the top half of the chicken leg.
The little beggar was very happy as if he had a rich harvest, but his dirty face could not hide the light in his eyes. But instead of rushing to eat, he greedily sucked the oil and water on his fingers.
When he looked up, he was looking at Ruan Yu in the corner.
"You just came to Fengyang County?"
The little beggar approached with a bowl and took the initiative to talk.
Seeing that Ruan Yu didn't react, the little beggar said again: "You look like this, you have nothing to eat, you have to grab it, if you grab it, it's yours, this is the rule of our Fengyang County." ”
Ruan Yu looked at him, thinking in his heart that he had robbed it, and he did rob it.
"You're going to freeze to death here, come with me." The little beggar smiled: "Although my place also leaks on all sides, it is much warmer than this, and it can be heated by a fire." ”
"Erya, do you still have the heart to care about others?"
At this time, another older beggar came closer, he looked at Ruan Yu and smiled: "You just ran out, right?" ”
Ruan Yu shrank and lowered her head.
The man said again: "Erya is right, you will freeze to death here, our beggars in Fengyang County are more united than other places, everyone helps each other, otherwise this winter will be cold and long, and it will be difficult to survive!" ”
"Come with me, wherever you want to go, you have to live, don't you?" Erya is optimistic!
All the way to the north, out of Fengyang County, Erya seemed to be a talker, talking non-stop, and Ruan Yu followed behind without saying a word.
The more he walked, the more frightened he became, this road was obviously the road he had just walked.
It wasn't until he turned back to the ruined temple that Ruan Yu subconsciously took two steps back.
Erya didn't seem to know, and said enthusiastically: "My brother should be back, today the two of us discussed going to different restaurants and waiting, don't worry, we will share a bite with you!" ”
With that, he ran into the yard with the food in the bowl that had been cooled by the wind.
Until a terrible cry sounded: "Brother! Elder brother! ”
Ruan Yu was excited by this cry, and subconsciously wanted to run away.
It's just a beggar, no one should care......
He was wrong, and God seemed to be laughing at and tormenting him.
Ruan Yu entered the courtyard with heavy steps, came to the door and watched Erya crying bitterly holding his brother's corpse, at this moment, his heart was finally touched.
"Later...... I'll be your brother, right? (End of chapter)
