Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 74: Waiting for a long time
For a moment, Luan didn't want to run away anymore.
She was tired, and before her survival instincts, she couldn't run—but she didn't want to. So she really slowed down, gasped, and fell forward one step at a time.
Will you die if you don't run? She didn't know very well, and whether she could run away or not had to be counted separately. But Ah Luan just didn't want to run, because she vaguely felt that if she continued like this, one day she would feel that it was better to die than herself. By virtue of her origin and age, all those who get along with her always default to her in a position that needs to be protected. Since she was a child, she was protected by her parents, and when she grew up, she was still under the wings of her master and friends, and it was always someone else who sheltered from the wind and rain.
She should know, someone has taught her, and many people have taught her.
If one of them taught the real skill, she never said a master—she didn't even admit it. But when you think about it, he should be his third master.
The swordsmith who entered the house.
It was dawning fast. When she came back to her senses, the surroundings were already a vast white, almost past the dawn and directly ushered in the sun's viewing. Dai Luan wiped the sweat from her head, clenched her sword, and slowly turned around.
Xie Yan looked at her contemptuously, as if he didn't intend to take a little girl's resistance in his eyes at all.
"Child, don't blame me, this is what my master meant."
“…… Satsuki-kun? ”
She couldn't understand why the Shadow Pavilion Master, who was still amiable when they met, suddenly turned his face at this time? Is what this woman says worth believing? If so, was there some sudden change after she left there?
…… The man? Who the hell is he?
Dai Luan didn't dare to act rashly, her every action, every word, should make the other party not perceive the intention, or at least think that it was harmless. She had to buy more time, so that she could remember the number of swordsmanship paths that the swordsmith had given her.
"I can't imagine it, little girl, you have a big face. Even the left gate will chase you. ”
In fact, Ah Luan didn't figure it out. Her little brain quickly calculated: Left Gate? The only thing chasing them all the way is the smiling wolf, maybe his real goal is himself, after all, there are not a few people in his hometown who want to kill her - can't he chase here?
According to the will of Lord Yama, the Immortal Moon Monarch was tracking down the smiling wolf, but unfortunately Mu Wan had a feud with him. But wouldn't he allow the smiling wolf to attack himself first? It's not impossible. But I also heard Wu Qi say before, and they have always had dealings with Zuo Weimen, maybe this is their private matter. Can this prove that Gao Yuejun and Rotten Moon Jun have no direct interests...... Or, at worst, assume that they have a good relationship, but at least the two have limited interference in each other's behavior? She didn't know that the internal affairs of the six realms of impermanence were much more complicated than she thought.
Under the scorching heat of the rising sun, these things made her very irritable. And Xie Yan didn't seem to be going to talk nonsense with her, and took a few steps forward, looking unkind.
"Okay, come here, go to my sister's place and get some sleep. If you believe us, maybe we've deceived Zuo Gongmen, and we can still find a way to bring you back to life. ”
"Are you really supposed to coax a child?"
The end of the smoke galloped through the air, piercing the air and emitting a piercing whistle. Ah Luan instinctively raised his sword and held one hand against the blade of the sword in front of him. The braid swirled twice on the sword, and suddenly a puff of black smoke came out, making a "whoosh" sound as if it was thrown on a hot soldering iron. Her face was slightly distorted, and she let go of her sword for a moment, as if it hurt. At this time, a smell of burning hair reached Ah Luan, and she hurriedly closed her breath, for fear that it would be poisonous.
Ah Luan understood that this sword was effective against the five poisons. She adjusted her posture, steadied her steps, leaned her sword over, and the center of gravity of her body became active. Xie Yan bared his teeth slightly, frowned, and looked her up and down.
"Yo, the stinky imp has two brushes."
"I don't think it's that simple...... Why did the person who wanted to kill Ah Luan chase here? It stands to reason that when she leaves the Chengwang Mansion, there is basically no threat. ”
On the way to chase Xie Yan, Mu Wan raised such doubts.
"I've always found it strange," Shi Wuqi also bit his lower lip in confusion, and then said, "Ah Luan is really just the daughter of the City Lord of Dailuan...... That's all? Although Dailuan City is large, it is not a place where it has any connection with the imperial court, and they are also a little far away. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I don't think it's easy to kill her for Zuo Zhenmen. Maybe it's because of who she is—but it's not as simple as the county lord. What puzzled me was that she had dealt with many of the six realms of impermanence at such a young age. I heard you say that Ruyuejun is her second master, and Jiyuejun also watched her grow up...... And Shanhai mentioned, Immortal Moon Jun seems to know her too? ”
“…… When you say that, it seems - hey, mountains and seas? ”
Rin Dao Chang was eager to save people's hearts, and he had already left them behind with his peerless light skills. Mu Wan's physical strength was a little overwhelmed, and he couldn't breathe, only Shi Wuqi sped up his pace, and under his control, Miss Qi's speed was about the same as Mu Wan's.
However, he quickly stopped.
Mu Wan barely caught up with them, coughing and asking:
"What's wrong? cough, cough cough...... Why suddenly, suddenly stopped......"
The physical strength of those two big men is really good, and they don't breathe in a breath. They stopped and stared solemnly at the road. They didn't answer her, so Mu Wan thumped her legs, raised her head, and looked ahead.
Her breath also stalled at that moment.
"Jade, Jade Pavilion Girl......"
Yuting stood in the middle of the road, timidly hiding behind a man. She seemed to have something in her hand, and as they looked over, she hid it a little back. Shi Wuqi didn't need to ask to know, it must be the whistle of the sheep's horns.
Mu Wan and Shanhai looked at the man carefully. His face was thin, his complexion was blue, and his eyes were sunken. Although he can see that he has a good skin, in broad daylight, he gives people an eerie feeling.
"He's dead," he said, "and the whistle in her hand is the one that controls the body." ”
"What......"
"Yo, Shi Gongzi, it's such a coincidence—we met again."
Before the people appeared, the sound reached their ears first. Young Master Zhang's neckline crawled over a gecko. It fell to the ground and quickly took on a human form.
Mu Wan, who didn't know the situation, thought that something had happened to the little girl, and shouted angrily: "Hunt Gongduo, you let go of the Jade Pavilion girl!" ”
"Huh? What did I do with the Jade Pavilion girl? Really, all the pots are buckled on my head, and I am also very wronged...... I want to correct you, Miss Yuting and I are old acquaintances, and I am still her benefactor. ”
Shanhai and Mu Wan's faces were even more surprised, but when they saw that Shi Wuqi didn't say a word, they seemed to know something faintly.
"No abandonment, you ......"
"I know. The Jade Pavilion girl wants to resurrect her first benefactor...... So Hunter became her second benefactor. He was going to teach her the art of resurrection. Naturally, I guess it's just an experiment...... But one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. ”
Yuting pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.
"Come here, Yuting girl" Shanhai waved his hand at her calmly, speaking like his own apprentice, his voice soft, "Don't do anything stupid." ”
Yuting was indeed in a state of hesitation. It's better to say that today's situation is also something she didn't expect when she took them in for the night. But she still didn't move, her legs seemed to be nailed to the ground, holding the horns of the sheep with one hand and grasping the corners of Young Master Zhang's clothes with the other.
"We all admire Shi Gongzi's strength very much. In this way, use your corpse to fight with the Jade Pavilion girl, and if you win, we will naturally let you go. To be fair, I cast some other spell on him. How's that, reasonable, right? After all, they are all dear to you. ”
Shi Wuqi clenched his hands tightly, and his nails almost pierced into the flesh.
"Leave him alone," Mu Wan raised his umbrella, "I'll go and smash his mouth to see if he still says these unworthy words." ”
"If you really want to fight, you have to pass me first."
It's another person's voice. Shanhai sighed softly, confirming the previous guess - Shi Wuqi also thought so. That is, there is more than one kind of demonic aura here.
There is also Wu Da Shopkeeper.
He leaned out from behind Young Master Zhang before taking a step. It seems that he has been waiting here for a long time.
"If Shopkeeper Wu doesn't do business with us, forget it, and still come to get involved in other people's affairs?"
Mu Wan sneered, but Wu Yin ignored her, and her lifeless face made her even more annoyed. He just didn't turn his head, stared at the girl, and said to Gong Duo:
"Don't make it too ugly, I'm going to have a lot of trouble dealing with it. Alas, Xie Yan has already made a ruthless move, and he doesn't talk about it at all. ”
"yes, she's always like that."
Shi Wuqi shook his arm and grabbed the closed fan handle.
"We didn't listen to your idle time chatting" Immediately after, he lowered his voice, "Just according to what they said, you drag Wu Yin, and I will let Ah Qi and Young Master Zhang fight as they wish." Shanhai, you don't care, go directly to save Luan. ”
Rin Yamakai is not one who will abandon his companions, but he believes in the strength of the two. He lifted the dust, and said something in his mouth, making a trick and hiding invisibly. They didn't stop him, it seems that they did come for Miss Qi. Presumably, they do have a clear division of labor, and this kind of behavior is the implementation of the Shadow Pavilion's research on forbidden arts.
"I'll go meet Your Excellency." said this, but his eyes always fell on the girl in the jade pavilion.
Mu Wan listened to Wu Qi say this and nodded slightly. But the moment she glanced at his face, she seemed to hear something out of the strings from the words just now.
The eyes were full of pity, but also with a hint of pathos. She knew very well that this was not the expression that the Lord of the Hundred Bones would show when he said such a thing again. She also knew that this momentary imperceptible sadness was for those he wanted to see.
He just said it to them, so ......
Dealing with Hunter Gong Duo is just a cover to divert the target.
She understood that she had to cover for him.
With the crisp sound of a fan and a low whistle, the two corpses each took two steps forward.
One has a gloomy face, the other has a soft expression.
One is withered, the other is alive.
It's like two still lifes, one dead and the other alive.
