Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 33: Drinking Valley Perch
When Mu Wan and Dai Luan arrived in Xuanzheng Town, it was almost dark. Mu Wan thought that Ah Luan would not dare to ride a horse alone, but she didn't say anything, and consciously jumped on her master's horse and drove freely, which made her breathe a sigh of relief. On the way, they didn't talk about anything, Mu Wan told her master where she was going and how to meet the Lord of the Hundred Bones, Dai Luan pondered for a long time, and didn't say anything, just told the story that Jiyuejun told her. After that, they fell silent.
The mountains and seas are not there, which makes people feel unsure.
Xuanzheng Town deserves to be a town, although it is not as rich as the city, but it is much more lively than the dead village. At night, the streets are lit up with colorful lights, and small vendors set up their stalls to make money. They ate something casually, and they were not in the mood to go shopping, so they found the big inn that Shanhai said.
Before entering the door, I heard the little two muttering, and someone had been sitting in the corner for a day. Mu Wan's mind hadn't turned around yet, but he didn't expect to see the figure of Shanhai as soon as he entered the lobby. The two men ran over quickly.
Their faces were not good when they saw the mountains and seas. The mood is not good, a little haggard outside, the eyes are blue, and it looks like I haven't rested well. He looked up at them and tried to stand up, but immediately sat back down, gasping for air.
He frowned and hammered his back with his backhand, Ah Luan didn't ask much, but quickly ran up to help him rub his shoulders.
"You're still ...... Uh, it doesn't look good. ”
"My bones are so crisp from the cold......," he sighed, "I don't feel it when I sleep, but I wake up in pain." ”
"So, have you seen anyone? How so? ”
"I went, and the wall was still the wall, very thick."
"Is it really fake?"
"Not really. I think, I'm afraid that my yang energy is too heavy. It's really not good, I'll rest for a day, and tomorrow night I will wear a black jade ring to go to the yang qi and lie down for another night. I'm afraid of losing the ring, put it in Ah Luan's medicine box, who knows forget this stubble. I've been losing a lot lately. ”
Mu Wan poured a cup of cold tea and sighed.
"I think it's better to forget it. Let's rest for a day today, and we'll go with you tomorrow during the day. ”
"It's a way, too."
He needed a break so much.
said that it was so, but as soon as the sky was bright, the mountains and seas opened their eyes early. When he pretends to be in trouble, he can't get a good night's sleep. Mu Wan is similar, only Ah Luan sleeps steadily. No matter how many things are, in a girl like her who is not deeply involved in the world, she can always be rejected by her dreams.
The suffering of adults, she is not yet old enough to eat. Or rather, she's been protected too well—Shanhai often thinks so.
really let her go out, but it was not reluctant, mainly because she was afraid that the city lord of Dailuan would know about it and hang her up.
After a quick bite to eat, they packed up and set off. On the way, I intermittently dialed and listened to the weeping corpse house, and it was true, but no one said that no one had tried it. This reassuring pill is like a fish in the throat, it can't go up, and it can't come down, which makes people's throats itchy and mentally scratched.
As he was about to arrive, Shanhai pointed to the blue-white wall in front of him. The walls are so clean that I don't want to be bothered by people all the time. Maybe people are tired of trying it and don't want to come back, or maybe it's someone here who is maintaining it frequently.
Mu Wan knew that he was not good enough, and he couldn't see anything special. But the wall is really weird, not to mention the door, not even a single window.
"This ......," Luan opened his mouth.
"Don't you think it's right?" She asked her.
"This place is so yin...... I don't like it. ”
"Then we'll have to find a way to get in."
Shan Hai stepped forward, put his hand on the wall, and then turned the back of his hand and knocked a few times, and there was a sound of a thick ordinary wall.
He turned his head, and suddenly found Mu Wan holding his umbrella open, holding a battering ram.
“…… What are you doing? ”
"I think it's quicker."
I don't think you have to talk about it like that.
As soon as the words came to his lips, he hurriedly stopped her. If he didn't find a gentle way to enter the door, he could hardly guarantee that they would be treated gently by the owner of the weeping corpse house, and if he couldn't keep the corpses, they would be taken in.
When the sun is on the head, the sun makes people dizzy. Staying in the dead village for too long almost made them forget that this is the temperature of summer. Mu Wan stood far away with an umbrella and Dai Luan, and the mountains and seas walked around the yard several times, making them dizzy to watch.
"Any clues?" Mu Wan asked him.
Shanhai wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked over to them, and took the kettle in Ah Luan's hand.
"It's not impossible. I looked at it, and this formation is not complicated, it is just the degree of preventing people from entering by mistake. It's not hard to break through this barrier. But when I tried it again, I found that the master of the array was by no means inferior to me. ”
Dai Luan blinked.
"So it can be broken?"
"I'll try."
He returned the kettle to Luan, and the kettle was much lighter. She and Mu Wan decided to go to the lake not far away to refill some water, and let Shanhai test it first, but it really didn't work, and then think of other ways.
The water level here is much higher than that of the dead village, and it has the appearance of summer. The sky is blue and blue, and the clouds are very soft, clump after clump. Mu Wan stood by the lake with an umbrella for her, waiting for her to finish filling the water.
"Look, there's fish there." Luan pointed to a water area in front of him.
"Where? Ah, really...... More than one. There's that over there, there's the bubble side. ”
"I see it, and there's a red one......"
The red fish arched its back on the surface of the water and quickly sank. That touch of blush made her eyes dizzy for a moment, and she felt a vague sense of irritability. Maybe the water is too dazzling against the light, or maybe it's too hot.
It can't be helped, summer is just as hot as fire.
The faint sound of a tree branch being trampled fell into my ears.
"Go back!"
Mu Wan suddenly put away the umbrella and pulled Dai Luan up with one hand. She was a little strange, and as she ran after her, she asked:
"What happened all of a sudden?"
She didn't have time to explain, because she could see from a distance that in addition to the mountains and seas, there was another woman's back beside the wall.
He was so focused on chanting the incantation that he didn't notice it.
"Rinshan—"
She had just shouted halfway through when Shanhai was about to turn back. But as soon as he turned his face slightly, the woman suddenly raised her legs, and her ankles swept fiercely towards Shanhai's neck. He really didn't react, he was kicked hard by the woman, and he fell to the ground.
Luan was stunned.
But she was only stunned for a second, and suddenly grabbed the sword in her hand and almost rushed forward. Mu Wan grabbed her collar with his hand and threw it behind him from the side, ready to deal with the woman.
She's weird.
The woman wore her hair tied at the ends, and she was dressed neatly, which did not match the thin skin and tender flesh that she looked. Her face was clean, her facial features were exquisite, the corners of her mouth seemed to be smiling, and a pair of bright copper-colored eyes stared at them intently, like a polished weapon on the battlefield.
She was strange because she didn't blink at all.
Just now, Mu Wan could ensure that she found the traces of people at the first time, but until the woman stepped on the branch, she didn't notice that there was another person nearby.
The only explanation can only prove that the woman in front of her is not human.
How could a delicate-looking little girl, her own age, make such a swift and powerful attack on an adult male in an instant. She was too thin, and compared to a martial arts practitioner like herself, she didn't have that kind of quality at all. Internal force is not impossible, but from her, Mu Wan only feels that the faint demonic aura is more representative.
"Who are you?" She questioned loudly.
She still held the wonderful curvature of the corners of her mouth, silent, which was annoying.
Mu Wan judged that it was very likely that it was the garrison of this weeping corpse house. Shanhai had to break this formation, which alarmed her.
"Aren't you Shi Gongzi's subordinate? If that is the case, you should call him out. ”
She still didn't speak, but walked sideways with her, slowly circling around. Her steps were light and light, leaving only shallow footprints on the dusty ground. Not far away is the injured mountains and seas, and I don't know what the injuries are, it doesn't matter if they want to be or not.
When her eyes glanced downward, the opponent suddenly attacked, and Mu Wan skillfully raised the umbrella to block the hand knife. She clearly felt that this speed and strength were at least ten years of martial arts skills, which was not something that ordinary women or ordinary humans could do. Mu Wan pulled Dai Luan to jump backwards, opened the umbrella, and distanced herself from the woman.
After taking two more steps back, Mu Wan's back was against the courtyard wall. She secretly thought in her heart, brute force is not good, but what kind of spell should be used to deal with her......
"Click."
There is such a voice.
I don't know how long it took, but Shanhai slowly opened his eyes.
It's cool, the breeze blows occasionally, and the sun doesn't bask your eyes, so it doesn't look like you're outside. He sat up sharply, and found himself in a hall out of nowhere, full of black-brown glossy wooden tables and chairs. There was a faint astringency in the air, not unpleasant, somewhat like traditional Chinese medicine, but it was not.
It's like the sea breeze.
"The mountains and seas are awake!" Dai Luan shouted.
Rin Shanhai looked over and saw her sitting at the table with Mu Wan. There were a few cups of steaming tea on the table, and her neatly stacked stacks of melon seeds.
Mu Wan glanced at him, nodded, and stuffed another melon seed into his mouth.
"Click."
Before Shanhai could ask where this was and what was going on, he saw a girl walk in with a tray in her hand with delicate and cute snacks. Still smiling faintly, she placed the snack plate on the table. In addition, a delicate small porcelain bottle is placed on the plate.
"Miss Qi?"
Shanhai said this, but she didn't look at him, just bowed slightly to Mu Wan and the others, and stood aside.
"So you know each other?"
"No, it's just...... Forget it, it's ......"
Before he could finish speaking, someone's hand suddenly reached from behind the chaise longue where he was resting and tapped lightly on his right shoulder. Shanhai Zhengjing felt very much, and clamped it with his backhand, and a charm flashed from between the fingers of his left hand. The man's hand was faster, and in an instant, the talisman was withdrawn by his other hand. Shanhai turned his head and suddenly bared his teeth in pain. The visitor had a charm between his fingers, and with both hands on his shoulders, he said in a gentle voice:
"Take it easy, Rin-chan—take it easy."
