Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 36: Drink ice and heat inside

Shi Wuqi didn't talk to them much, but only gave a general overview of the past.

- The Lord of the Hundred Bones has no abandonment, and he himself can't remember how long he has survived as a human being.

It's not that he's old, it's just that he has very limited memories of himself. In his words, they were fearless and trivial things, and there was no need to write them down. But about Miss Qi, he should still remember it vividly, but no matter how he recalled, the picture was separated by a thick veil, and the shroud made him breathless.

He vaguely remembered the moment he had fought herβ€”but he couldn't remember why. She was so powerful that she was as strong as she was when she confronted him. In his memory, at the last minute, she could have easily ended his life, but she didn't.

She was hit from behind by an even more powerful force.

It looked like it was just a coincidence, and he was lucky to be rescued. But Shi Wuqi felt at that time that the moment she died, the eyes that should have been full of resentment were extremely melancholy.

It was as if he had died to save him.

If she hadn't stopped her, he might have been beaten by the chaotic power.

Just a few words, it is all the memory of the Lord of the Hundred Bones of this beautiful female corpse.

He kept her around, carefully tending to it, hoping that one day someone would tell him everything that had happened between them. But as time goes on, the likelihood of that will only get smaller.

"Why are you sure she's a youkai?"

"If it's a human bone, I'll know it when I touch it. As you can see, her bones are distinctly black. ”

"That's why you want Wan Ki Zhi to check her life memories as a monster in this life?"

"Exactly."

Sounds like a reasonable explanation.

Jiyue-kun fell into a brief contemplation.

They didn't rest well, and the Polar Moon Monarch came to visit early in the morning, and they told him these things, and by the way, they showed the unabandoning of the Lord of the Hundred Bones.

"You're right, it's best to respect Liang Yuejun's decision. When the time comes, it would be better for you to ask him personally, but I will also speak for you. Didn't he also say that as long as it was within his ability, he could fulfill his wishes. If he agrees, when the mountains and seas find the Ten Thousand Ghosts, he will come back and lend it to you as soon as possible. ”

Shi Wuqi turned his face slightly and did not reply, as if he had acquiesced.

"Again...... Are you going to get Miss Qi back? ”

"Preferably with the Judge Pen." Ah Luan interjected.

"Well, I did some inquiries for you yesterday. I didn't know anyone, but I learned a little bit. At first, the place was also disturbed, and they built a temple here to worship him and appease his resentment. ”

The three of them suddenly remembered that they had made rounds on the first day they had come here. On the side of the river that is about to dry up, a small temple has indeed been built, and I don't know what it is enshrined. But that's not something special, they don't have much heart.

"That's all I can tell you. I still have important things to do, so I won't stay long. ”

Shi Wuqi stood up and walked out of the door, hurrying over. Shanhai bowed slightly to Jiyuejun, and pulled Ah Luan to follow him. But at the moment when Mu Wan was about to step out of the room with them, Jiyuejun suddenly spoke again:

"Miss Liangqiu, please stay."

Mu Wan turned around a little confused, glanced at the people outside the door, and motioned for them to go first.

"I'll be there later."

With that, she sat back down across from Jiyue-kun.

"What?"

"Just now I said that I have something important, and I was ordered by that lord to investigate the movements of Yingyue-kun."

β€œβ€”β€”οΌβ€

Hearing those three words, she suddenly sat up straighter.

He had been dead for less than thirty years, and he was very young, still impetuous like a naughty child. I went to his hometown to see it, and it was not much different from here, it was a dead village. ”

With that, he turned his head to look out the empty window. There was nothing outside, and he couldn't see anything. Mu Wan didn't speak, she stared directly at the black cloth on Jiyuejun's face, as if she wanted to see through his eyes.

"Ah, off topic. About Yingyue-kun, do you know the reason why he arrested your master? ”

"Hmm...... In order to find the Frost Moon Monarch, use his Demon Sealing Blade to cut off the demon rope that binds him? ”

"Definitely. But what does this have to do with your master, have you ever thought about it? As you know, it is not easy for us to meet each other in this world. Frost Moon Jun has hidden his traces at this time, and it is very likely that he has learned the news of your master's arrest. Whether it's avoiding it or not, we can't tell. But you also know that the magic blade can't be opened by anyone......"

"You mean ......"

"I have said that Frost Moon was an assassin with a world of martial arts but a strange temperament. While cultivating, he went mad and strayed into the underworld and unlocked the sealing blade. In other words, he was one with Nawacha's life, and it was not voluntary. So...... Your master has probably studied how to pull out this knife, or how to control the connection between people and the knife......"

"Not voluntarily......" Mu Wan repeated quietly.

"You don't have to worry about him being ungrateful. If your master really knew one or two, he wouldn't be relieved that Yingyuejun would get this kind of information. That's all I know at the moment, and I'll tell you if I find anything in the future. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Thanks a lot. ”

"Ah, though, it's not easy for me to find you. Miss Liangqiu, do you have any tokens to give me, so that I can find you. ”

Mu Wan thought for a moment and pulled out a hairband from his waist. The hairband is ninety percent new, no different from the one on her head, and it is also printed with a shallow snowflake pattern, which should be pulled from the same cloth. Jiyue-kun took it, and the long hairband was lying on his sleeve.

Mu Wan finally saluted, ready to catch up with the mountains and seas.

A moment before she left the door, she suddenly stopped.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If you said before that you are impermanent, and you don't enter the flow or anything, don't go to your heart. ”

Jiyue-kun didn't respond. She looked back and found the room empty. Jiyue-kun didn't know when he left, and in the entire room, only the pale sky light on the window was reflected on the ground.

She quickly chased after the ruined temple. Entering through the main entrance, she saw from a distance that the three men had arrived, and were gathered around the offering table. She stepped forward and found that there were no stone statues or murals, only a tablet with the word "η₯Ÿ" written on it.

The offering table was large and long, and it was filled with plates and other odds and ends. There are some unidentified residues and ash stains on the plate, which should have been eaten by rotten or eaten by insects. But she couldn't say, because she saw many small bones on the ground and beside the table, like birds'. Maybe it's poison in the food, or maybe it's a curse?

Everything else is a small piece of life, such as handkerchiefs, wood carvings, and jewelry, which should be a tribute to something. All of them were covered with a thick layer of ash and had no shine at all, except for ......

The pair of embroidered shoes in front of them.

The shoes look very new, there is no dust, and both shoes are bright red and bright red, small and cute. Mu Wan couldn't help but stretch out his hand, ready to take it.

"Wait!"

Shanhai suddenly grabbed her wrist, and she was startled. The Lord of the Hundred Bones did not look at her, but raised his left hand faintly.

The tips of his four fingers had some burn marks, oozing mottled blood, which was a little terrifying. But he didn't seem to be in pain, and he didn't care too much. Mu Wan noticed that the wound was healing quickly, and he must have done the same thing as himself.

Whether she can have that recovery rate herself is another matter. As for the remains of those birds of different sizes, I am afraid that they were also harmed by this barrier.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's going on? She asked.

"A hundred years have passed, but there is always a solid barrier around the table. Rin was trying to figure out how to break it and get the shoes. ”

"This is a temple dedicated to the shrine...... But I heard Ah Luan say, Jiyuejun said that the shrine had already been sealed in the shrine of Xuanzheng Town, and it broke through the seal in thirty years and has been destroyed, right? Does it have the power to retain the vitality of the enchantment? ”

"When I first stretched out my hand, I heard the screams of the villagers from the barrier," Shi Wuqi's face was ugly, "I am afraid that this barrier is formed by the obsession of the villagers." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A group of ordinary people? It's incredible. ”

"If you want to completely control people's hearts, you must completely suppress them with fear and thoughts, so that they will obey absolutely and even harm their own kind" Shi Wuqi spread his hands, "Alas, it is still easy for the dead to fiddle with, I like to die, and the living are really troublesome." ”

Isn't this necrophilia?

Ah Luan glanced up at him, but he didn't say anything. She turned her head and saw Mu Wan looking at her.

I know what you mean.

Mu Wan also noticed that she was carrying a small burden behind her. It didn't contain anything else, it was the severed hand that was wrapped in it.

I'm going to go, it's scary.

Shan Hai hesitantly took out a charm, ready to give it a try. At this time, Shi Wuqi stretched out his hand to stop him, and with the other hand, he pulled out the severed arm that belonged to Miss Qi from behind Ah Luan. He grabbed the back end and slowly passed it forward, tentatively past the edge of the offering table.

Nothing happened.

It seems that this judgment is indeed for the living creatures.

When that hand arrived at the Lord of the Hundred Bones, it was as flexible as a part of his body. When it was about to touch the embroidered shoes, it stretched out its first three fingers and pinched them nimbly. Then, Shi Wuqi pulled it back, put the shoe on his other hand, and returned it to Ah Luan. She took it and stuffed it back into her bag behind her.

No, aren't you really afraid.

Mu Wan looked at her, and then at the mountains and seas. It seems that she has really seen a lot of the world with her master.

"I don't know what to do, but I'll take it with me in case I need it."

The mountains and seas have such a strong premonition. He also felt that there was a very heavy anger on these shoes. Presumably the other two were aware of it. They were silent and did not make any further comments.

The tribute itself doesn't seem to cast any spells. They all gathered around and looked at it carefully. It is indeed a pair of delicate shoes, with complex and clear lines, and the flowers look like the real thing. It's just that no matter what the pattern is, it's the same color.

That's red.
