Dai Luan had lunch with her friends early today. A few people had nothing to do and ran to play near the snow inkstone pond. Of course, among the three of them, she and Mo Liang had nothing to do, and Xi Yu skipped the afternoon drill for the 10,000th time. She was afraid that she had forgotten that there was Mu Wan's guidance today, and there were still two hours before she was beaten on the ass.

Mo Liang knew from the cloud mirror that there was such a magical pool here. When he told them, Dai Luan had already met Ruyue-kun. She thought about it, but still didn't tell them about the incense burner, after all, she didn't know if the incense burner was in it. And then they came many times. Every time, Ah Luan had to stare at the pool for a long time.

"Uhh

Xi Yu threw a small pebble over, and the stone slid over the ice. This time, the ice didn't break, but it was probably thicker. Dai Luan could see it, and Mo Liang felt strange.

"Do you like this pool very much?"

"Ah, no. I was wondering if there were any fish in there. ”

"When the water is clear, there are no fish." Mo Liang said, "Since it can line the black stone at the bottom of the pool, I don't think it should be." What's more, it's a pool of stagnant water, and there's nothing to live in it. ”

"That's right."

At this moment, there was a rustling sound from the bushes behind him. Dai Luan nervously turned back, but saw nothing. It's about an adventurous life that has been too long, and she's too sensitive. She has always been broad-hearted, for some reason, she feels a little cold around her, although she can't detect any murderous demonic aura, but she doesn't feel very comfortable.

"Why don't we go back?" She said suddenly.

"Bah, I just escaped."

Although Xi Yu complained, unexpectedly, Mo Liang agreed. In the past, he probably felt that Dai Luan's worries were unnecessary, but she just wanted too much.

Could it be that he also felt such uneasiness?

In the evening, Shi Wuqi suddenly found them and said that they would have a meal together.

He probably had something to say, he was originally settled in Xueyan Valley, and he had to shout to each other when he ate and worked, and he was used to being together in everything. It's just like the intermission of weekday exercises, and the disciples call their brothers to go to the thatched house together with a mentality. Later, it was more casual, after all, everyone does not always do the same thing, their houses are also close, and they don't need to say hello to each other. So, they don't always stay together when they eat. Occasionally, when the time is lucky, we can also communicate at the dinner table together, and we will break up immediately after eating, and we will be busy with each other. To be honest, this is the best state among friends.

Therefore, it is inevitable that they will be a little strange when they say this.

Shanhai has a bit of a "everything is not appropriate" mentality, and when he plays such a play, his frowning brows have not been smoothed. Dai Luan was also flustered in a vein, she didn't tell more people, just jokingly told her new friends that she would go to have an old dinner in the evening. When Shi Wuqi found Mu Wan, she was talking to Chi Li. Wu Qi didn't say much, just said that they would have a meal together in the evening, and she naturally felt puzzled in her heart. Chi Li nodded in understanding, didn't say anything, and didn't mean to bother. The moment of raising her eyebrows made Mu Wan always feel that she had misunderstood something.

But none of that matters. When a few of them gathered around the corner table and had dinner again, there was a feeling that they had not felt for a long time.

"We shouldn't have eaten together in a long time." Mu Wan pinched his fingers and calculated, "It should have been more than half a month since I got together like this last time." ”

"I still remember that time when the kitchen made radish soup, but it was not sprinkled with salt, and it didn't taste at all." Dai Luan said.

"How do you remember what to eat?"

The topic at the beginning was very light, but they all kept their eyes on what important topics Shi Wuqi was going to say. Occasionally, they would glance over and see that he looked natural, as if he was not hiding any nervous matters, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Several people replaced wine with tea, and after three rounds of tea, Wu Wu finally led the topic to himself.

"Tomorrow I'm going to get the soul incense." He said, "It's ugly for three moments." ”

The clanging of dishes and chopsticks on the table stopped abruptly, so quiet that you could hear the sound of the back kitchen brushing the pots. The chopsticks hung in the air, and the three pairs of wide eyes and the three open mouths were very tacit. Shi Wuqi held the dish lightly, looking calm, as if he just casually said inconsequential gossip.

"No, when were you...... You ......"

"Where? Is it in - that place? ”

"How did you just tell us?"

Wu Qi raised his chopsticks and waved them down twice, suppressing their gossip back. But then, Shanhai asked again:

"When you're ugly, isn't it tonight?"

"It's not. It's tomorrow, and there's still a dozen hours to go. ”

"Is that so?"

Mu Wan felt that her mood was very delicate, as if she had been deceived. But she knew very well that no one lied to her, but she didn't give up maybe because of security concerns, and she was just hiding it for the time being. Didn't the master and apprentice also know about it? Why be so sensitive, and this is not a reason for trust or distrust. As a result, as soon as she tried to convince herself, Dai Luan jumped out.

"Only now! Isn't it worrying about us! ”

"Nope." Shi Wuqi shook his head, "Not really." ”

Shan Hai picked up the teacup, still frowning. He sighed before he spoke, feeling a sense of relief.

"I understand. Accidents are many...... Whether it's a leak or a dream, as long as a second person knows about a secret, it is no longer a secret, and there is a risk of being revealed in various ways. I'm surprised, it's not easy for you to hold back until now. ”

"Am I holding back less?" Shi Wuqi smiled.

He said that he was just telling everyone about it out of trust, and he didn't mean to ask them to go with him. But inevitably, they asked where the incense burner would be placed. Shi Wuqi just said that you will know tomorrow, and they didn't ask any more questions. But for some reason, Dai Luan had a feeling. If Shi Wuren's position is someone else, whether it is mountains and seas or Mu Wan, they will definitely ask questions.

Is it because of this illusion of alienation? Is this understandable that they did not know him well enough.

In other words, he doesn't want to, doesn't want to be understood.

Dai Luan felt that she couldn't understand these truths in the past, but she slowly thought a lot, and slowly understood a lot of things that she didn't understand before.

Even when such a topic was brought up, the atmosphere at the dinner table was not so heavy. Everyone should still eat and drink, and only when they finally go back to the house to wash and lie on the bed, a mood similar to fear emerges.

What the hell is this...... Why.

The persistent restlessness also took a toll on the next day. They all dreamed, different lengths and different contents, but without exception they all made it difficult to get up the next day, and their temples jumped. They began to understand why they had chosen to speak before they spoke. For example, Dai Luan, she looked in the direction of the snow inkstone pond from time to time throughout the day. This is too unnatural, although the Xue Yan Sect will not be mixed in with any spies, but her abnormality is still too obvious. Shanhai and Mu Wan too, couldn't stop thinking about that aspect. Besides, when exactly did he put it in? Is it really there? It seems that yes.

Aside from a few of them, there shouldn't be any more people who know about it. Even if it was a secret for more than a dozen hours, it became more and more difficult to keep, as if it would mumble to itself and break out in the next second.

It was a long day, but it was only one day. In fact, if it is seven days, it will be over. It's just that the risk of exposure to someone who doesn't know increases with it. The Xue Yan Sect probably didn't have a traitor, but it didn't resist the temptation, scheming, or simply guided by curiosity, and caused some damage to the incense burner. After all, the request is bizarre, and it is "impossible to look at it". If it's a snow inkstone pond, it's easy, anyway, it's black and white when you look at it from a close distance. Anyone can't break through the ice and jump in for a swim, right?

It's not impossible. I don't know how Shi Wuqi survived the psychological torture of every day in less than three months. Is this the main reason why he stays away from Snow Yan Valley and often goes out for a walk?

A thousand hours...... Dai Luan calculated in her heart. She suddenly realized that tomorrow was the winter solstice. So a thousand hours ago, that is, ...... August 16? Is it the day after the Mid-Autumn Festival?

She remembered. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, they are gathering together to celebrate lively. Even Mu Wan drank some wine in order to cooperate with everyone. Of course, she quickly collapsed, lying on the table, still holding half an egg yolk mooncake in her hand. The yolk was still intact, and it was not bitten open in one bite, so Ah Luan picked it and ate it.

Unfortunately, Chi Li said that Ye Yuejun had promised them to come. Ye Yuejun also told her at the time that in fact, the Mid-Autumn Festival was her death day. They were surprised and felt rude, so they apologized. But Ye Yuejun still readily agreed, saying that she would definitely go to the appointment. But she waited and waited, and she did not show up until the sixteenth day.

Mo Liang held the sword and looked at the moon, with a little expectation in his eyes. He must have wanted to see a few black dots appear on the full moon, gradually enlarged and gradually approached. If you look closely, it will be Ye Yuejun and her flock of geese. But no, he didn't wait until his neck hurt.

It's good if you don't wait.

Wu Qi also told a story of pepper-flavored moon cakes, and everyone laughed. They were very happy that day, very happy. It was the first lively festival they had ever had when they settled down in the Snow Inkstone Valley. Dai Luan clearly remembered that Shi Wuqi and Miss Qi were there, and he was smiling happily.

Is there a tiny secret hidden under that smile?

Was he in this laughter, under the cover of noise and night, taking the incense burner and medicinal herbs to refine?

As the saying goes, the moon of fifteen is sixteen round. When the moon is shining, it is indeed a good time. They were all so caught up in the festive atmosphere that no one noticed anything unusual. But with the skill of not giving up, this does sound like an easy thing to do. It's heavy, and it's probably only the hearts of all those who know.

He is the only one in the know.
