"He betrayed the master and colluded with the demon clan. Regardless of the crime of using his power for personal gain and creating this shell for you, the first two alone are enough for him to be punished by several thunders. What do you think?"
As Guan Yubai spoke, the smile on his face became more and more captivating, and he even laughed softly, echoing in the empty and silent forest, like a life-threatening ghost, which was inexplicably creepy.
After that, he stepped back and said with emphasis: "My dear, no one can cure the cold poison on your body except me. If you are like this, you can only be a burden to him. I am waiting for you." return."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist dissipated around him in an instant.
Yu Jiuxu stared blankly at the place in front of him where the black air dissipated, and slowly collapsed to the ground. He felt that his body was getting colder and colder, as if he had fallen into an ice cave again...
She curled up on the ground, and just before losing consciousness completely, a pair of gentle and wide hands carefully lifted her up from the ground, and held her cold body in his arms.
Gradually, as her body began to warm up and her consciousness was gradually brought back, she turned her head stiffly, and the man in her arms held her tightly, and she could vaguely feel him shaking again.
At this moment, the tip of Yu Jiuxu's nose suddenly felt sore, and inexplicable sadness surged into her heart. Even she couldn't tell why, and tears rolled down the corners of her eyes.
Perhaps she was thinking of Guan Yubai's words. Even though she didn't want to admit it, she had to say that it was the truth.
After a long time, Yu Jiuxu felt a little relieved, and she carefully separated from him. She held the flint that Su Luochen had just put into her hand, and her mood gradually calmed down.
He caressed her cheek gently, handed her the water on the side, raised his eyes to look at the lighted town at the foot of the mountain not far away, and said softly: "Be patient a little longer, we will go to the town right away."
Yu Jiuxu held the water in her hand and nodded. Su Luochen took the cloak on the side, wrapped her up, then hugged her sideways and headed towards the town.
When Su Luochen took her into the town, although it was already late and there was no one on the street, there was no guarantee that she would not encounter anyone from the Immortal Sect.
In order not to attract attention, the two of them deliberately changed out of their eye-catching Xianmen clothes and put on regular clothes. At this moment, Yu Jiuxu's cold poison had almost completely taken effect. He could only hold her in his arms and wrap her in his cloak. She covered her face tightly to prevent others from noticing her different red pupils.
Entering the town, almost all the shops were closed. This was exactly what Su Luochen wanted. After walking for most of the town, he finally found an inn that was about to close.
The waiter was closing the door, and Su Luochen walked into the inn with Yu Jiuxu in his arms. In the inn, there was almost no one downstairs, and the shopkeeper was checking the accounts with his abacus behind the counter.
In a corner not far away, there was a drinker wearing a bamboo hat sitting. She had her back to the door and a sword beside her. Although there was a certain distance, Su Luochen could clearly feel it. The powerful spiritual power emanating from the sword.
She was dressed in white, and judging by her figure, she was probably a cultivator. Although she couldn't see her face, she could still feel her extraordinary temperament. Su Luochen glanced at her hastily, his eyes skipping the jade pendant hanging from her waist.
Tianshan Yuanyang Dao, an ancient family, they would hardly participate in the disputes on the mainland, and they would never leave the mountain easily.
how……
Su Luochen lowered his eyes, hiding the doubts in his eyes, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.
As if she could feel the person holding her tightening her arms, Yu Jiuxu slowly opened her eyes, with a trace of doubt in her tired eyes: "What's wrong?"
Her voice was very soft because she was too weak, so only Su Luochen could hear her.
Su Luochen frowned and didn't explain anything. He just answered her: "It's okay. Let's find another place."
He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly the shopkeeper's anxious voice came from behind: "Please don't say goodbye, sir, please stay."
As he spoke, people had already rushed out from behind the counter and stopped in front of Su Luochen with a kind smile: "Everyone else is closing. In this small town, ours is the only one that closes a little later. If you leave, what will happen if you leave?" There’s no place to live.”
He said with a serious face. Although Su Luochen stopped, he still looked hesitant. The shopkeeper glanced at the person resting in his arms with his eyes closed, and immediately struck while the iron was hot: "We have two rooms and one room here. We have them all, other places are already full right now, so you can just make do with it for one night."
After all, this is a business that comes to your door, so naturally you can't just let it go. This town is not rich, and there are not many outsiders. Looking at his clothes, he doesn't look like a commoner, so he must be left alone no matter what. Come down.
Su Luochen didn't answer, obviously still a little worried, so he heard Yu Jiuxu say: "It doesn't matter, just stay here."
When she spoke, her voice couldn't help but tremble. Su Luochen knew that this was a symptom of aggravation of the cold poison, and his heart tightened. He had no choice but to answer the shopkeeper's words: "One upper room."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately personally greeted Su Luochen to go upstairs.
Standing on the second floor, following behind the shopkeeper, he couldn't help but turn around and glanced at the person downstairs warily. The person was still sitting there, drinking wine and eating the side dishes on the table, as if Completely oblivious to them.
Su Luochen turned his head calmly, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart. Maybe he was just too sensitive...
Following the shopkeeper to the room, Su Luochen walked into the room, placed Yu Jiuxu on the bed, and let her lean half of her body on him. The shopkeeper wisely lit the candles in the room.
Su Luochen took out some silver and threw it to the shopkeeper as a tip. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and the smile on his face became even brighter. He nodded quickly and agreed: "Then you two have a rest first, I won't disturb you."
After that, he hurriedly turned around and went out. When he left, the moment the door closed, Yu Jiuxu slowly opened her eyes and accidentally caught a glimpse of her unusual red pupils.
He was stunned. The door was completely closed. The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but in the end he felt that it must be an illusion. He was really blind.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. He collected the tip Su Luochen gave him and turned around and went downstairs.
The woman who was sitting in a corner eating just now has disappeared, leaving only the waiter who is clearing away the dishes.
The shopkeeper raised his eyes with some confusion and glanced at another room upstairs where the light was on, which was the room where the woman who had just eaten was, and then turned to look at the table.
It's really strange. I didn't see her just now. How did she get up there? The shopkeeper shook his head and walked behind the counter to continue checking the keyboard. He couldn't help complaining in his heart: What a ghost. There are so many weird things tonight.
inside the house.
Su Luochen pulled the quilt aside and covered Yu Jiuxu, then stuffed a piece of flint into her arms. Then she stood up, put her fingers in front of her, made a sign with her fingertips, and set up a barrier to protect her. The whole room is wrapped.
Yu Jiuxu leaned on the bed and felt something, so she opened her eyes gently again. Su Luochen had just finished setting up the barrier, turned around and went back, sat on the edge of the bed, and gently took her into his arms.
Yu Jiuxu looked around, a little puzzled: "Why set up a barrier?"
"..." Facing her doubtful eyes, Su Luochen lowered his eyes. He didn't want her to worry, so he just said, "It's nothing, just in case. This is more practical."
This kind of thing is not uncommon. Generally speaking, no matter where they are, as long as they don't want to be disturbed by others, the monks will set up a barrier in the area where they rest to warn their peers not to step in at will.
In this way, people who don't have bad intentions will naturally not rush in without any sense. In the same way, those who rush in are mostly looking for trouble.
