Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 196: Eyes and Souls

There was a slight rumble in the dark night sky, not harsh, but enough to wake up the sleeping people. A thin pillar of light on the ground stretched into the sky, but it was long, uninterrupted, and went straight to the stars. It was like a wisp of smoke, gradually weaving into a huge white cloud. At night, it glows dimly. The sound also seemed to come from the sky, but for some reason it was this sound - it was more like a large collision of large objects from a distant place. But the clouds are supposed to be light and fluttering, how can it be such a movement?

Some people wake up from their sleep, or open the door to look out, or poke their heads out of the window. More and more people are opening their eyes and wondering what's going on outside. They saw the strange curtain in the sky and the light sources coming up continuously. Until the light and shadow form a blurred outline, and the shape is the same.

It was the appearance of several people, still moving, and there were voices.

"Kill, kill...... Finish...... I, Gu Shu-disciples, am missing...... are buried in the cemetery. Disobedient disciples will be killed...... I am, test the poison, and only ......"

"You speak slowly...... Do you mean that the disciples who resist will be arrested and sent to test the medicine? Buried when you die? Your poison is unsolved before, or is it new? ”

"New, new...... The old poison has not been cured, and the new drug has not fully taken effect...... I was able to preserve some consciousness, pretend, to be controlled. That medicine, he asked me and Ah Ling to choose...... Say one is poisonous, the other is fine. I am, Onmyoji...... I recognized the medicine in question, so I grabbed it and took it......"

"So Ah Ling is home, and you stay?"

"They lied to me...... As soon as Ah Ling left, She Jiu said that the medicine was also ...... Gu Technique. It's lurking, it's invisible...... Leave me alone, please, go save her, save everyone. The Gu worm is hiding in her body, and one day it will ......"

The disciples gradually walked out of the door, all amazed by this strange spectacle. But the reason for this is no longer important - after all, it is not difficult to determine the identity of the eyeless girl, no matter how unrecognizable her appearance and voice are a little hoarse. That's the senior sister they get along with day and night. The other two, almost everyone knew each other, were none other than the Taoist chief and his apprentice who had come to visit a few days ago.

Is this really happening? When? Or is it fake, a hallucination?

In the midst of the whispers, it was said that only the cloud mirror could reflect the rest of the world, and only the cloud mirror could cast everything under the clouds.

Some people also say that there are rumors that the boss has been looking for this legendary mirror. There are also suspicions that this is some kind of illusion. Why would a person who can do magic do this? If those scenarios are true, what should be done? More people went into a panic.

And the panic is spreading.

In addition to those who were talking, She Jiu's subordinates began to act. It's not difficult to find the origin of the projection, just follow the light pillar of light. This is indeed something that can be done by a cloud mirror, and there is no other similar trick. The holder of this one is also bound to be in danger, which is equivalent to directly exposing the mirror and revealing his position.

Unless they are not afraid.

It was on the high side. Although the height did not affect the ability of the cloud mirror, it seemed that they had deliberately chosen there. The people who came were violent, but they were tantamount to death. They could always see people who were incapacitated, or the corpses of monsters rolling down the slopes.

This is not an elaborate lie, but only deception and the oppression of power. She Jiu doesn't want people's hearts, so no matter what means Wu Yuangui uses to govern the sect, it has nothing to do with him. He only needs the "material", the material for testing the medicine, or the material of human nature, just like all the people who stare blankly at life and death in the Gu pool.

Everything is out of order. There is no need for thieves to go up to die, and the disciples in the valley have also come to their senses. The voices of the crowd shouting and discussing and the sound of the blades meeting are continuous, and the birth of "infighting" is full of inevitability. All this has been foreshadowed for a long time, but it is just a fire that ignites this thread tonight.

The moon and stars move slowly, slowly toward the west. There was still no light in the east, and the night was still long.

The restlessness gradually escalated into chaos, and the people who had been resentful for a long time on weekdays had a chance to speak out. There were also people among them who approached Ikeri and Moliang out of curiosity, and they stopped coming down and stood with them. More light lit up in the valley, from sparse to dense, as if the stars in the sky were shining on the earth. Mo Liang hugged the tengu and quietly looked at the whole noisy scenery.

"Little sister. Can I take a look at that Shikigami? Someone said, "It's painful." A few of us know a little about medicine, and we might be able to help it. ”

“…… It's hard work. ”

Shanhai and Dai Luan didn't know what was going on, they just saw from a distance that an area was lively, and it was probably the place where the disciples of the Snow Yan Sect lived their daily lives. Shanhai took Dai Luan's hand and ran faster. Something might have happened there, but they were too far away, too remote, and their attention was so focused on the room that they didn't notice anything.

But don't let anything happen. Shan Hai prayed silently in his heart.

Chi Li and Mo Liang kept asking where Wu Yuangui and She Jiu went. If they don't rest, no one knows where they're going. The two were anxious, but helpless. Telling the world the so-called "truth" is something they can think of doing themselves. And when everyone asked about their identities, Chi Li didn't say a word. Mo Liang knew that she just hadn't thought about it, but she didn't know whether to say it or not. He knew that although Chi Li was afraid that no one would believe her, it was not for the position of the head of the house. She was afraid that no one would believe it, but she was just worried that this would be detrimental to what Shanhai and Mu Wan were working hard for. In this way, it would be pointless for her and Mo Liang to return to the Snow Yan Valley with the cloud mirror.

Who is all this for?

For the sake of the common people, or for yourself?

For the sake of the common people, but also for themselves. They know the answer.

"What are you doing?!"

The shouts weren't angry, but they were clearly emotional. The aura here has become very chaotic, and the spiritual power connection between people is also very unstable, and the two of them have not been able to detect the identity of the person who came at the first time. But from this familiar voice, it is not difficult to hear that this is indeed the person they are looking for.

"Ah, Liang Qiu—" Mo Liang's voice just got a little higher, but he pressed it down again, "That ......"

He didn't know if he should show her what Tengu looked like now. The kind disciple gave it medicine, and although it could not be cured, it seemed to be a little more stable than before. It shouldn't hurt that much, right? He wasn't sure, but he wanted to.

However, Mu Wan's attention was not on him for the time being. Her hair was messy, her clothes were torn in a few places, and her eyes were red and bloodshot, apparently after a fierce battle. But the battle wasn't over – the fighting spirit in her body was as sharp as new. It was not anger, but something else, without any pity or compromise, but at the same time full of painful persistence and determination.

"You ......"

Chiri called out to her hesitantly, not knowing what to greet in the first sentence. At this time, other people in the war also noticed this. The fighting was quieter, but the momentum was undiminished.

"What are those?! And - what are you doing?! ”

Mu Wan pointed to the clouds in the sky with the tip of his umbrella. There was no more picture on it, and the light had long since disappeared, leaving only a few clouds and mist slowly dissipating. It seemed that she was in a position where she could see some images, or at least hear sounds. This result is also known to Ikenari. In fact, in addition to letting people know the facts, interfering with Wu Yuangui's actions with her is the first priority. When he was fighting him, Chi Li already knew clearly that Wu Yuangui didn't have much amazing strength on his own. On the contrary, what she doesn't know is Mu Wan, how many catties and taels does she have? It's hard to say, after all, no matter how you say it, his senior brother's technique is above ordinary people.

It is safest to trick them into the eye now. It's better for everyone to see them – everyone.

But I still didn't see She. They were upset that he hadn't shown up since the last time they had been photographed. Whether he has an even darker, untold conspiracy is unknown. Again......

"Where is Wu Yuan?" Mo Liang asked.

Mu Wan spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.

"Hell knows! When those strange clouds and voices appeared, he was shocked, and he was more embarrassed than I lifted his old bottom. I was stunned—I knew I shouldn't, but I heard the voice. But the bastard didn't take the opportunity to attack me, I ran straight to this side, and I don't know where he is. I was about to ask you, what's going on with those things?! Is it a ghost from Xiao? Mountains and seas and Luan Zheng...... Are you with Xie Huayu? That, those words ......"

Mu Wan's eyes suddenly froze, and she noticed the tengu in Mo Liang's arms. For a moment, she couldn't say anything. It was all too complicated, too sudden, like a mudslide carrying several boulders to smash down on the head and face, and in addition to the severe pain, there was only suffocation. She couldn't say anything, and it was like she had 10,000 words and 10,000 questions to ask. She felt that she had just fallen into a blank thought, which was caused by a conversation with Wu Yuangui. And now it's different, it's a mess, a mess that borders on nothingness.

"It doesn't hurt now...... Temporarily. Mo Liang handed the dog to her, and she took it stiffly, "At that time, the Taoist tried his best, but he still didn't have time. We set up a net to break through She Jiu - it was to save me...... I'm sorry. ”

Mo Liang probably wanted to explain more, but he couldn't say it. Mu Wan knew that he shouldn't blame him, but he didn't know who to blame. After thinking about it, in the end, you can only blame yourself for your lack of ability. The thought of this made her a little angry.

- Why do you look like this? Why can't I do anything?

"I can't even protect my own Shikigami!" She wailed loudly, but quickly suppressed her voice, "I'm sorry, I'm definitely not blaming you, and I don't regret letting the Dao Elder take care of it, absolutely not...... I'm just, I'm- alas. Let's talk about the cloud mirror first, okay? Are those pictures real? ”

"It's true."

This was not said by Mo Liang, nor was it Chi Li. It's the cloud mirror—it's Xiao itself. When the people around him saw him, they couldn't figure out what he was doing for a while, and no one acted rashly for the time being. But Chi Li's heart was furious. She knew that once She Jiu's people learned that he was the Fu Fu God of the Cloud Outer Mirror, a vicious battle would be inevitable.

…… But so what. She thought. When she came here, she didn't plan to leave with her whole body.

She was just a little sad, a little tired. But when she thought that Mu Wan was not like this, Mo Liang, Rin Shanhai, and Dai Luan were not like this, she was a little quiet. So the exhaustion subsided somewhat, and all that was left was an endless ocean of unspeakable melancholy and hesitation.

Before dawn, some things will change forever.

So it's time to say goodbye to the past.
