Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 69: Equivalent Exchange

After taking his seat, Mu Wan secretly glanced at Gao Yuejun from time to time.

She's so good-looking, even women can't help but want to look at her more.

This table is not too big, not too small, with five fixed glass chairs, the distance is just right, so that acquaintances will not feel too far, nor will strangers feel too close. On the rock wall high in the back, a wider stone platform sticks out, decorated with unknown plants, like a seat, and like a couch, which should be the usual place for Gao Yuejun to rest. Only now, she sat with them. Next to the mountains and seas was Shi Wuqi, and she herself was separated from Gao Yuejun by a vacant seat, which seemed very far away.

A few fluttering butterflies picked up the teapot and poured water for them. The spirit butterfly is small, but it has a lot of strength. Phosphorus powder on the wings shook off the quilt, and the liquid in the cup turned pale blue by the way. The two of them didn't dare to move the cup, but Shi Wuqi didn't know how many cups he had in front of him. Shanhai looked at him repeatedly, and was basically sure that he was right.

"When did you come?" Mu Wan asked him, "Do you know that we have ...... How long have I been looking for you? ”

She hesitated for a moment in her tone, Shi Wuqi just shook her head and said lightly: "It didn't take long, and I chatted casually." She knows that you are looking for her, and she knows about the ghosts. ”

The two looked at Satsuki-kun again. I don't know if it's because of the color or the environment, she still smiles shallowly, but it still makes people feel cold.

"Don't worry. The concubine body will not make it difficult for you to make your offer like Wu Yin, nor will she open her mouth like a lion like Hunting Gongduo. Those children like to mess around. If you have any questions, just ask them. As for what kind of exchange will be made, it is easy to say. ”

Their every move was really watched by Gao Yuejun. Mu Wan looked at Shanhai, he didn't mean to speak, but she speculated that Shanhai was destined to ask about the whereabouts of Wan Guizhi. He made a gesture of please, motioning for her to speak of his own business first.

"We know, I think, you probably know." She asked tentatively.

Gao Yuejun shook his head.

"If you don't say it in person, the concubine will never know. Some people do it, some people watch it, but no one can guess what they think in their hearts. ”

Mu Wan took a deep breath. The cold air is chilling in the lungs.

"I want to know, the sect master of the Snow Yan Sect, where is he?"

"So, what do you get in exchange?"

"What do you want?"

"What do you want to give?"

At this time, Shi Wuqi suddenly spoke: "You have to exchange something equally important." ”

Mu Wan knows this truth subconsciously. She thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know what other important objects she had on her. Although the paper umbrella leaf is important, it is difficult for her to move an inch away from it. Maybe Shikigami can, but Tengu can't give it, and he can't give it. Bai Di she saved a life, she was very loyal, she was reluctant. Not to mention Hanshui Ji, it is not clear who was replaced - not to mention that in comparison, compared to asking about the whereabouts of the god, the master is more important, which is something she has been running for.

…… Maybe something important, there is. She vaguely felt that if she exchanged this cheap thing, Satsuki-kun would agree—she had this intuition.

Reluctant...... She couldn't tell. That thing is very ordinary, if it is those people under her, they must not look down on it, but Gao Yuejun can't say for sure. It was obvious to them that she was not a money-gotter. Mu Wan was very hesitant, this thing was prepared for her by her parents, and she had been carrying it since she was born, and she rarely paid attention to it on weekdays. But if you suddenly want to give it to others, you really can't take it.

Gao Yuejun looked straight at her like this. Mu Wan's heart was very entangled, and the movements of his hands were also slow. She slowly reached for her waist.

The sachet is gone.

First there was a brief blank of thought, followed by a flurry. Even though it was cool here, she still felt hot on her face and anxious. She fumbled around her body in a panic, but she couldn't find the sachet.

Shanhai seemed to guess what she was looking for, and he asked tentatively:

"Are you ...... Lost on the road? ”

Shanhai didn't mention anyone's name, but Mu Wan knew. Her movements froze and responded dryly, perhaps.

Gao Yuejun pursed her bloodless lips and smiled slightly.

"If you can't give a concubine now, it doesn't matter. Your sect master, your master's whereabouts, the concubine can indeed tell you. As for what you were meant to exchange...... As if I have entrusted it to the concubine, I will get it. ”

Mu Wan didn't know what she meant, she was stunned for a while, and asked with some embarrassment:

"So what are you...... Will you tell me? ”

Gao Yuejun nodded lightly and stretched out four thin fingers like shallots.

"The concubine body can answer you four words."

"Please!"

"Not again."

The other two heard Mu Wan's short "ah", and they didn't even hear the tone clearly.

Shi Wuqi said with some caution: "You mean he...... Is it dead? ”

"Not again." She still repeats those four words.

They didn't dare to breathe, let alone look at Mu Wan's eyes. She didn't know what she meant, she didn't say she was dead, where she died, she didn't say she was alive, where she was alive. How to understand these four words? Does it mean anything else? Other...... What does it mean? Mu Wan was not sure, but he felt that his eyes were sour but he couldn't shed tears, and his throat was swollen but he couldn't speak. She prefers to believe that she can't pay herself, so Gao Yuejun deliberately lied to her - but it's not like it.

Is it dead? It wasn't that she hadn't thought of this possibility, but when she really heard the answer with such a tendency, she still felt dizzy, like a hornet's nest had been knocked over in her head, her ears were buzzing, her mouth was numb, and her eyes were also seeing things.

"Mu Wan......" Shanhai called a few times in a low voice, and she heard that she was calling herself.

"Oh, it's okay, it's nothing" She suddenly sat up straighter, her bright eyes wide open, "Shanhai, you ask quickly, don't you still have important things?" ”

It's hard to say whether she's deliberately diverting the subject, or prevaricating something—prevaricating irrepressible, flooding feelings. There was barely a levee in the way now, and if the atmosphere remained silent, she would be overwhelmed by the terrible silence.

"Hmmm......"

Shanhai responded. After that, he took out something and snapped it on the table, making a crisp crashing sound. A few people looked over and found that it was a black and smooth jade wrench.

Mu Wan quickly wiped off the water stains from the corners of his eyes, and immediately asked him: "This is not ...... It's not a ...... with Luan."

Shi Wuqi only heard Ah Luan mention it, and it was the first time. He stood up, stretched out his arm and touched the wrench, and looked at it. Immediately, he pushed the wrench to the side. The ring rolled all the way on the table, spun around, and stopped right in front of Gao Yuejun.

Hei Yu wrenched his fingers...... Hei Yu and Bai Qiong are on the same piece of jade, and this kind of impurity is indeed rare. ”

Maybe it's worth the whereabouts of Wan Onizhi.

Gao Yuejun picked up the wrench and looked left and right, and seemed to like it very much.

"It's something interesting, so what do you want to know?"

Everyone's eyes were on the mouth of the mountains and seas.

"I'd like to ask you...... What is the purpose of those who steal the will of all ghosts? ”

Almost subconsciously, everyone opened their mouths slightly.

Surprising question.

At first glance, it sounds a little inexplicable, but with a little thought, you can realize that the problem is very beautiful and amazing.

The answer to this question is bound to kill two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone.

Gao Yuejun glanced sideways slightly.

"I don't know about the concubine."

The air was quiet again.

Shanhai's pupils dilated slightly, this answer he didn't expect, and so did the others. They all felt that Gao Yuejun knew everything and should not answer like this. Shanhai tried to find the answer in her eyes, but her eyes were still so quiet, without any emotional fluctuations, as if she had just stated an ordinary trivial matter.

Or maybe she knew, but for some reason didn't want to say it. It's also possible.

Mountains and seas are quick to consider all possibilities. If she decided to keep her mouth shut, it would be difficult to pry it open. Originally, he thought that knowing the thieves' motives, he would be able to deduce the answers to many questions from them, and they would be able to do even more than recapture the Ten Thousand Ghosts. But Gao Yuejun replied like this, which made his plan invalid.

Shanhai is blunt:

"Do you really not know, or, inconveniently?"

Shi Wuqi felt that this was indeed difficult to figure out. If you are an ordinary businessman, you will definitely do everything you can to find a way to get money out of the pockets of your customers. But in Gao Yuejun's case, the nature is not the same - what she asks for, for now, has no value to herself, even if no one knows the reason for doing so, maybe what spells can be used, after all, the things that convey feelings are the introduction of many spells, and the objects that have been used for a long time can also give birth to Fu Fu. Even, some things can find a way to know the secrets of their masters. He didn't know if Satsuki-kun wanted anything from them, but if he didn't answer the question, he would have a lot to gain. This is not in line with the business style.

So she's not a businessman? Not really. At least among merchants, she's the smartest kind. The role of the wicked was played by her subordinates. But does that mean she meant well?

"I really don't know," she said sincerely, "at least not now, we need time." ”

Shanhai's eyes never left the black wrench. Not because it's important — of course, it's important — but what's more important is Satsuki-kun's attitude. She didn't seem to let go, still playing with it with her slender fingers, her eyes rolling. At this time, a spirit butterfly from nowhere landed on the back of her fingers pinching the wrench, gently shook its wings, and flew head-on to the bridge of her tall nose.

Then, with a flick of its wings, it flew away.

"If you insist on knowing...... The concubine can be checked. Originally, things were not done, and the concubine should not have received anything. But if you have other things to do to leave here, the concubine will use this wrench to report the news. ”

Rin Shanhai looked at her, and the eyes of both of them were quietly terrifying, and they could only read nothingness in silence.

"If you ask where the Ten Thousand Ghosts are now...... Gotta go east. ”
