Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 103: Silent Candle Sinking Snow

It's been night for a long time, and Dai Luan is staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open.

She felt very sad and uncomfortable, a breath of air was blocked in her throat, a ball of numbness was stuffed in her heart, and neither she spoke nor thought very well. She also wanted to fall asleep, but what she experienced during the day made her feel troubled. Her impression of Miss Zhu Tong is not bad, but for those people in Shanhai who have always seen things well, she is indeed not a good person, especially when she puts forward such harsh conditions.

When she first came back, she still thought of a way and asked them that if she directly went to Jiyuejun and Ye Yuejun to explain the situation, she might be able to get the blood of a half-demon. Although it was just a suggestion, she was still glared at by the mountains and seas. He had never been a harsh master, but the look in her eyes at that moment still made her heart furious. Before Shanhai could speak, Wu Qi explained for him.

"What does she say? We can really let her lead the nose. ā€

"It starts out as simple requests, but it quickly grows uncontrollable, and you can't escape from them. This kind of thing, I think the people in the Shadow Pavilion are very good at it. Shanhai said.

Mu Wan just kept sighing, shaking his head, or standing up and pacing back and forth. Duan Yuesheng on the side didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't know where they went or what happened, but he just helped Mu Wan and said:

"Regardless of what the person you said has in the future, why don't you follow the meaning first and solve the problem in front of you?"

"You think everyone is as brainless as you!"

Suddenly yelled at by Mu Wan, Duan Yuesheng was a little aggrieved, but for the sake of what happened to the other party, it was really pitiful, and he didn't say much.

"I—I'll just say it...... What about faith? Is there a way to read it? ā€

"I've tried a few common methods," Shi Wuqi replied, "such as putting them under the sun, or roasting them on the fire, but none of them worked...... There is also a kind of soaking in water, and I didn't dare to try it for the time being, for fear of melting the paper. ā€

Duan Yuesheng thought for a while and asked them, "Maybe in fact, she really didn't write anything, she was just a blank piece of paper, what did she imply with a blank piece of paper?" ā€

Mu Wan stopped and shook her head again, saying that her senior sister is a temperamental person, and she has always been decisive and upright in her work, and she will not do some complicated and detouring things. She was sure she knew her, so others had nothing to say.

The events of the day were constantly spinning in Dai Luan's mind. She struggled to close her eyes, trying to let the darkness strengthen her sleepiness. After about a while, she opened it again, and suddenly found that her eyes were much brighter. Turning his head, Mu Wan got out of bed and sat on the chair at some point, holding the crumpled piece of paper and stunned under the candlelight. She knew that it was not a letter, and the letter was folded and placed in the medicine box on the side of the bed against the wall, and beside her, Mu Wan would notice if she had just gone to get it.

It wasn't a letter, it was the name of the six realms of impermanence and youkai she had written before.

"Oh, don't look at it, go to sleep......"

"Did you get the noise? I'm sorry I'll ...... in a minute."

"No, no, not at all" Dai Luan turned her face sideways and moved to the side of the bed, "I'm afraid you'll be upset after watching it for a long time, and you won't be able to sleep." ā€

"No, it won't. Alas, I really want to soak in water......"

She smiled weakly, her face a little cold in the warm light of the fire. She looked at the paper again, and looked at the candle on the table across the paper. Dai Luan felt that this scene was very familiar, as if everything had returned to Huansha City, back to the first time she ran to Mu Wan's room and made a noise to sleep with her. Miss Qi was the same, sitting on the chair by the wall as if she were non-existent, quietly.

It's just that they're not the same anymore.

But if you mention the night in Huansha City...... Dai Luan suddenly remembered what had happened that night.

"By the way, I have an impression in my head," she said, "I don't know where I heard it...... Maybe you told me, or maybe I was dreaming, but I have such an impression in my head anyway. ā€

"What's the impression?"

"It's the name Snow Yan Valley."

"Name?"

"Snow Yan Valley is a place full of spiritual power, where the snow does not melt in the valley all year round, and it is said that it can be used as ink to write black characters...... Is there such a thing? ā€

Mu Wan suddenly froze in place. She stared at Dai Luan's face flushed by the firelight, and couldn't say a word for a while. Her open lips quivered slightly, as if she had something to say, but she couldn't spit it out in her throat. She seemed to be smiling, but she didn't, the corners of her mouth were clearly hooked for a moment, but her eyes seemed to be crying. Mu Wan's brows also locked, and the locks were relaxed, and thousands of words were shattered in his eyes between the ever-changing expressions.

"That's, it's a legend, but ...... Whew, maybe it's not true, it's just like that...... And yes, what if, if it's true, it makes sense. Well, that's how it should be......"

She suddenly muttered to herself in the air, and Dai Luan didn't know what to say, she was a little frightened. For such a long time, Mu Wan did have some intermittent chatter, but it was the first time that he was as unclear as now.

"Ah Luan, I want to go back," Mu Wan said suddenly, "I can only see it when I go back." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ This, this is still, let's talk to the mountains and seas tomorrow," Luan said dryly, "If you suddenly say that, I will ...... I'll just mention it casually, I don't know if it's true or not. If it's true, there's always a way to show it except to go back, right? And didn't you swear that you would find Master and go back again, so go back like this...... Uh, huh......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ yes. ā€

The faint fire in Mu Wan's eyes was extinguished. But it wasn't dead, and the possibility of its resurgence was buried in its carbon-black eyes.

"It's okay, it's okay, go to sleep." Under Dai Luan's gaze, she hurriedly cleaned up the table.

It was getting late in the morning.

Jiyue-kun is not a person who observes words and feelings. After all, he had no eyes to see. However, if you say "reading the atmosphere", then he still has two brushes, otherwise the impermanence of thousands of years will be in vain. As soon as he went up to the second floor of the small teahouse, he felt that it was unfortunate that he had come today, and several of his friends were not in such a good mood.

He directly pushed open the door of Shanhai's room, they had just finished washing, took care of their clothes, and sat at the small table for a meeting, but they just stared at each other with big eyes, and no one spoke first. Jiyuejun, who was still holding his hands on the door, held back a sentence for a while:

"Did I go to the wrong room?"

"Yes, you're on the wrong side," Shi Wuqi glanced at him, "This is the girls' room, and we're next door." ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ Why do you smell of dead people? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Shi Wuqi glanced at the silent mountains and seas, and simply told him the ins and outs of the matter. After hearing this, Jiyuejun frowned slightly, took out Mu Wan's hairband, and sighed.

"No wonder I ...... from above it I was a little worried, so I came to see you...... Hey, you're here. ā€

Mu Wan broke in.

She may not have slept well all night, with dark circles under her eyes, and when she saw Jiyue-kun, she only glanced at the hairband in his hand. She must have something big to say when she rushed in like this.

"I think-"

As soon as he began to speak, something sprang out of Jiyue-kun's arms, briskly crossed his shoulder, and landed on the table in front of him. Mu Wan was startled, and the other two were also stunned. It's a little fluffy guy, smaller than a cat and bigger than a mouse. It has round ears and small eyes that roll around the thief, and it is not afraid of people at all. But more importantly, it has a very strange coat color, half black, half white, with a clear central boundary, and there is not a single stray hair on either side.

"Is this a weasel, or is it a ......?"

"Well, but that's a really good color...... Particularly. ā€

"Yes. I've only seen colorful flowers before, or cats with bright colors. It was an orange and black cat, and only the face was the color of the two. ā€

Shanhai and Wuqi said without saying a word, and the little thing sniffed left and right. It watched for a long time, then jumped back on Jiyuejun's shoulder, looked at Mu Wan and began to shake its little head. Mu Wan didn't dare to move, and the original fatigue was swept away. It suddenly jumped on Mu Wan's head and spun around twice, startling her.

"You're as popular as ever with critters and monsters."

When Shanhai said this, he must have remembered the incident when he saw Jiyuejun in the forest at night before he met Mu Wan and Wu Qi. Maybe some memories from earlier.

"Y-Where did you find ......?"

"Ah, that's the case," said Jiyue-kun unhurriedly, "Didn't I say that I was ordered by that lord to visit Yingyue-kun's hometown. After I went to Taki Mansion with Hazuki-kun a few days ago, I went back again, and that was the third time. I met this little guy. It's actually a little monster, but you can rest assured, it's not bad. A yin-yang spell strips it out of its body. This kid is very pure, don't worry too much. ā€

In an instant, everyone thought of the person they met in the temple of Cangyu City, the Taoist leader, and the ...... Weasel. Shi Wuqi thought more, after all, he knew that this matter was related to the Demon Binding Rope, plus the other party said that it was found in Yingyuejun's hometown...... They must have been connected, they didn't run.

"It's trapped there, and when you see me, it's curious to spin around, so I'll bring it out," Jiyue-kun said casually, "It seems to like you very much, so it's better for you to put it away and be a god." ā€

"I'm ......"

Halfway through the words, Mu Wan also hesitated. She doesn't hate animals, and this little thing looks pretty cute. Although compared to Tengu, Hakugi and Hansui Hime, it seems that it is not so good at fighting at the moment...... But if you put it in the umbrella, it won't be delayed. So Mu Wan took out a blank spell from his cuff. Jiyue-kun took the black and white weasel off her head and held it up in front of her eyes. Mu Wan shook the charm and asked it if it would like to be his own god.

Truth be told, a little creature doesn't know that, it just blinks and looks at her stupidly.

"Just kidding," she retracted the spell and asked Jiyue-kun again, "Since you've made so many trips, what are you going to do?" ā€

"This ...... It's a long story. ā€
