Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 185: Deeply Cut White
Ikeri is probably lost, but it's not that much. As far as the results are concerned, she still came to the Snow Yan Valley. It's just that she appeared inside the Snow Yan Valley. And this is not Xiao's decision, it is her own choice. Chiri doesn't need to walk through the spiritual veins, she can go anywhere through the mirror.
It's not like the Snow Yan Sect, at least it's different from what she remembers. Even if she was still young when her grandfather was alive, that gentle atmosphere was spring and unforgettable, and it would not be the cold appearance it is today. The rules of the Snow Yan Sect are not strict, although only the disciples of this sect can enter and leave this place, but everyone's clothes are very casual, as long as they don't go out, it doesn't matter if they wear their own clothes in the valley - they are all their own people anyway. When her father took over, he asked a little more, but she didn't know it, after all, she never paid attention.
Can ...... now And where do these people in fancy clothes come from?
They are not like the disciples of this sect, and their footwork and breathing methods are different from those who practice the Xue Yan Sword Technique. Although Chi Li didn't know, she could quickly observe it from Mu Wan. There are even many people who have demonic spirits in them.
Rather, are they really human?
The Snow Yan Sect has two techniques that it is proud of, and it is known to people in the rivers and lakes. One is the way of the sword, and the other is the way of serving demons. At first, he was a kind grandfather, he liked to deal with animals and little monsters the most, and the swordsmanship began to be famous from his father, everyone knew that he was very warlike, and the number of swords was also figured out by himself, and more people came to admire.
There should be monsters in the valley, but they shouldn't be murderous.
What's going on with this atmosphere now?
"I don't think Snow Yan Valley should be like this."
Standing under the tree, Chiri lowered her head and said frankly. Akatsuki's appearance is presented in the mirror. He nodded, telling her that Snow Yan Valley had been on guard since a month ago.
"Against whom? I don't understand. What happened? β
"Not prevention." Akatsuki explained, "It's control. β
"Control?"
"The Shadow Pavilion is strengthening its penetration into the Snow Yan Valley. Although it wasn't Gao Yuejun's intention, She Jiu, her henchman, felt that it would be better to control here. He has always wanted to have a ready-made power that belongs to humanity and grasp real power from the shadows. β
"Why did he do that?" Chi Li looked at him, "Why the Snow Yan Sect?" β
"Because the time and place are right, because of the people."
Chiri hadn't fully understood what that meant, but someone on patrol had spotted themβor her. Those people recognized at a glance that she was not a disciple of this sect, and rushed forward with a knife without saying anything. Chi Li drew his sword to block the next blow, and reflexively blocked the cloud mirror with his body. The trio who attacked should not have noticed the mirror, and the primary purpose of the trick was still to subdue her. She often fights Xiao in the cloud realm, and it is not a difficult task to parry a few small people.
Their attacks are not skillful, just simple slashing and grabbing. It was easy to deal with them, but this battle attracted more people's attention. She should have left here, but she didn't, and she didn't actually kill those people. The guards on patrol had their wrist bones shattered, and they couldn't hold knives for a year and a half.
Chi Li knew that the news of her existence would reach the top, to the ears of Wu Yuangui and She Jiu. What will they think? There must only be six realms of impermanence that can bypass all the guards and enter the interior of the Snow Yan Valley, so the problem will inevitably be pushed onto the mountains and seas. On second thought, the act of breaking in may have been reckless, but she wasn't the kind of person who didn't think about it - she deliberately separated herself from them. In this way, no matter which side goes wrong, there is still a glimmer of room for struggle on the other side.
It's just that the interior of Snow Yan Valley is beyond her expectations. Xiao didn't remind her, but she didn't think her plan was unreasonable, so she didn't dissuade her. More people rushed over - none of them had to ventilate the news, and they all had a strong demonic aura on them. This demonic spirit cannot be their Shikigaku, but themselves. So Chi Li concluded that they were just puppets who did what they wanted and wouldn't pose any real threat. So Chi Li began to think that maybe he didn't need to spare their lives.
She tilted the angle of the blade slightly, so that the next swing would simply slit the throats of the youkai. But she just thought so, and before she could do it, there was a sudden flash of white knife light, and the opponents in front of her stopped moving. A knife pierced their waists, and white smoke spread out from the trail just now, like a cloud falling from the sky, quickly expanding, splashing, and quickly turning red after spilling, exploding a flat blood flower.
They all broke in two and fell to the ground one after another, quickly turning into charcoal with the strange white smoke. The knife technique is silent, but this strange effect is the ability of the ghost sigh itself. Sure enough, after the corpses were scattered, Mo Liang's thin figure appeared in front of her.
"Where have you been?" He asked, "We're looking for you everywhere." β
Chi Li looked left and right, and suddenly there were many fewer enemies around. Not far away, Shanhai and Dai Luan disposed of the last patrolmen in this area. She sighed heavily, bent down, grabbed his shoulders and said:
"I deliberately didn't want to meet with you guys, trying to find out something. I didn't expect you to find it so quickly. β
"No, it's not us." Mo Liang shook his head and pointed to the girl behind him, "She brought us in." β
Xi Yu stretched out his hand and greeted her behind Mo Liang's back.
Chi Li frowned, looking up and down suspiciously. Xi Yu didn't know what she was looking at, grinned at her, and waved his hand, which was regarded as a greeting. Chi Li asked her, "Are you a disciple of this sect?" If it's convenient, can you tell me about the sect in the past two years? β
"Huh...... But I've only been in the business for less than a year. β
"You know what, just say it."
"This ...... Not quite right? Xi Yu laughed with him, his face was embarrassed, "Senior Aunt Liangqiu hasn't said anything yet, and I don't want to reveal more." Anyway, I'm also a disciple in the sect, so it's really hard to talk about inconvenient things......"
Chi Li glanced at Mu Wan, she opened her mouth to say something, but she didn't feel the need to say anything. So Shanhai came forward to persuade her again, saying that as long as it can be revealed, even if it is, the inconvenient part is fine. Xi Yu thought about it, and then he was relieved. But most of what she can say is her own business.
She is not a local, but comes from far away. In such a small place, she learned some martial arts from her grandfather and became famous. Her father and mother are both businessmen, and they scoff at martial arts, and they just want to marry her off quickly. She also has two younger brothers below, some of whom are spoiled by her father. Fortunately, grandpa treats everyone equally, and always says to the two of them, "You don't care about Ah Yu's affairs, I have the final say." β
Her father and mother didn't like her martial arts practice and thought that she would "smash it in her hands", but she didn't listen and focused on guarding the local ring. As a result, she really made a name for herself, and her father didn't dare to say anything, and she didn't mention getting married anymore. Until the beginning of this year, her grandfather, who loved her the most, passed away, and her father and mother began to talk about finding a matchmaker again, and she was angry and sad.
In the ring competition in that area, many outsiders who came to challenge had no rewards, and everyone just came to have a good time, so they had never seen extremely outstanding martial arts talents. Until one day I passed by a young talent, saying that he was on the way, and he had a fresh move with her. Probably she was not in a good mood, played abnormally, and was defeated. The onlookers sighed and coaxed, saying that she was better to clean up and get married. She couldn't get angry, and pulled the man to try again. The young man examined her, praised her martial arts a little, said that he would make a difference tomorrow, and someone left her a note.
The next day, Xi Yu and the young man were gone, and the onlookers pounced. The Xi family scolded but couldn't do anything. Later, they learned that the man was the acting head of the Snow Yan Valley, and he passed through this place on the way back with his fellow men after running errands. And the note he left naturally felt that she had the qualifications for further study and persuaded her to get started.
Although he was scolded by his family as a money-loser, it doesn't matter to Xi Yu now. With the slight mention of the predecessors of the Snow Yan Sect, her martial arts have improved by leaps and bounds, and she doesn't need to be conceded a few more ways to fight with her master.
Her master, named Wu Yuangui.
She didn't know much about the Snow Yan Sect, and the master didn't tell her anything. It's just that I get along with Xie Huayu every day, and after a long time, I know about Liangqiu Muwan. Xie Hua said that her master was looking for a mirror, and only Liang Qiu knew where it was. She was with a Taoist priest and a little girl. Her own sister Xie Hualing brought them the map, and they sent Liang Qiu.
"What a mess?!" Dai Luan scolded.
For Chi Li, I don't know if it's preconceived or not, but at least she feels that Shanhai's statement is more credible. She looked at them again, and the faces of several people were all angry, but no one argued with Xi Yu anymore. After all, she is technically an irrelevant outsider.
"That's not what happened...... Mu Wan tried his best to keep his anger down, "Actually...... Forget it, it's useless to tell you this. Where is the surname Wu? β
"Why is it useless!" Xi Yu crossed his waist, "I'm the most powerful disciple in the same period, no one can beat me, what do I say, even senior brothers and sisters have to give three points." You're out looking for the Cloud Mirror, aren't you? So now that you're back, have you found it? β
"It's none of your business."
Hearing this, Xi Yu was not happy. She immediately stopped in front of everyone and made a fuss like a child:
"I don't care. Since you have returned to the valley, you must have found it. Show me first! β
Mu Wan felt a headache from the beginning. These conversations are almost familiar. You must know that the last time she came back, what she was most afraid of being asked about was the whereabouts of her master. It's just that this "mission" is really unnecessary, and I don't know where he is so bold to talk nonsense and deceive such a child.
Wait a minute.
She really didn't know anything? Everyone's tone is so strict, hasn't anyone who knows the truth tell her something?
Is Xie Huayu really okay?
Mu Wan's eyes became more and more suspicious as he looked at Xi Yu. She turned her head and noticed that Chi Li's gaze was even more aggressive.
