Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 112: Broken Qiong Chao Jade
Jiyuejun just used a trick to temporarily deceive the eyes of the two girls.
Takimi's hostility towards him continues unabated. He has encountered enough troubles in the past few days, and at the moment, the grass and trees are all soldiers, cups, bows, snakes, and shadows, and it is not that you can forgive you if you rob him inexplicably.
"Well, don't scare me," Jiyue-kun waved his sleeves, "I'm powerless. ”
"If you don't have the ability, can you take me away from the people of Zuo Ganmen?"
Takimiao stared at him vigilantly, and he didn't know if he could see anything under the eyes of Jiyue-kun. However, it was already night, and even if he opened his eyes, he should not be able to see clearly.
As for himself, Takimiao didn't know why he could see one or two clearly at night.
Probably because you're a youkai, right?
Maybe not.
Jiyue-kun seemed to be able to guess his thoughts, and got off the blindfold himself. In the darkness, the two shallow crescents in his eyes glowed faintly. Takimiao was surprised, he didn't know if this light was only visible to him, or if his eyes were just shining like this.
"Six realms of impermanence?" He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Okay...... I guess I want to alarm you. ”
"Don't be so discouraged, maybe we're here to help you."
Takimiao smiled, making Jiyue-kun a little dazed.
"Haha...... You guys? Help me? ”
To this day, Mu Wan has not made up his mind to return to Xueyan Valley, and the corpse of his senior sister is a reason.
Although she knew that Shi Wuqi was fully capable of taking another dead person around like commanding Miss Qi, this was unacceptable to her. She looked at Miss Qi and felt that she was clearly a living person except that she couldn't speak. But Yan Muxue was indeed dead, really dead in front of her eyes, it can be said that she saw her breathless.
If she still appeared in front of Mu Wan vividly as she did when she was alive, she felt that she would believe it.
Even until now, Mu Wan still hasn't accepted this fact from the bottom of his heart.
That morning, she was alone in the corner of the first floor. She woke up early today, and naturally, she still didn't sleep well that night. Mu Wan was light today, and when he left the room, the sky was not completely bright. She decided to give her friend an answer today - to go back, or not to go back. Hopefully, when she figured it out, it was just in time for her friends to wake up.
The little black and white guy didn't know when he ran down. She remembered that before she went out, it was curled up between the two girls' pillows, sleeping together. Perhaps sensing that she was in a bad mood, it deliberately ran down, jumped on the table in front of her, and made all sorts of funny moves to make people laugh. Mu Wan thought it was cute and intelligent, and it had nothing to do with the false Taoist master he had met in that hall before and was supposed to be connected to it.
"Are you going to be my Shikigami?" She pulled a blank spell from her cuff and held it to her fingertips and shook it in front of its eyes.
The little thing stared at her blankly, perhaps not understanding what it meant. After a while, it seemed to find the dangling note very interesting, and jumped up and fluttered from side to side like a cat.
Mu Wan still smiled, and his mood was really much better. But she's just paying lip service. With these fluttering critters, the spell can't take them - they have to be youkai to be contained by charms, paper figures, or anything else. Even if it understands human speech, it really wants to be her Shikigami hundreds of years earlier.
Mu Wan thought of the lost Shishen again. I don't know if Bai Di really lost it accidentally, or if it was stolen by thieves. Although, she didn't really want to doubt the man named Cheng You. She doesn't know if she sees people accurately, but she knows that she is easily moved by the "goodness" of others. She wasn't sure if it was an advantage or a disadvantage, so she didn't think about changing it.
Just as she was hesitating about how to make a choice, an unexpected person broke into the early morning teahouse.
Xiao Er just opened the door and bumped into a reckless man. The other party was just about to knock on the door, and he never wanted to collide with Xiao Er who pushed the door. The little guy was startled, and Mu Wan immediately stood up and ran over to check the situation.
"Wow! Damn, hell! It's a ghost in broad daylight! ”
Before Xiao Er could stand up, he saw the face and ran to the backyard. This embarrassing scene made Mu Wan feel strange, and he also felt that he was really rude. So she stepped forward and carefully helped the other man to his feet.
"Hey, are you alright? Hey, you've dropped something......"
The little one, quick-eyed, rushed up and lifted the thing on the ground, and leaped nimbly onto the table to hand it to the man who had been lifted up. At that moment, Mu Wan knew why Xiao Er just now was so rude.
It was half a horned mask with a red, tattered strip of cloth tied to it.
"Blue Ghost Girl......"
She looked carefully into her face. The green ghost suddenly raised his hand and covered half of his face with his wide sleeves. Maybe it was because he scared Xiao Er, and looking at the reaction, the green ghost was also worried that Mu Wan would be scared away.
"It's okay, it's okay...... Mu Wan hurriedly took the mask in Lingyi's hand and handed it to her, "I'm not afraid!" But if you don't feel comfortable, it's okay to put it on first. You came here early in the morning, what the hell is ......?"
The green ghost took it with one hand and expertly buckled the mask to his face. When she lowered her sleeves, her face was the same as when Mu Wan first saw her. But this time, her half-delicate face was full of anxiety.
"Oh no, Liang Qiu, something's wrong, something big" ran all the way, she was still panting heavily, "corpse, corpse, it's ......"
The corpse moved? Or did something go wrong on the Wuqi side and let the corpse rot? It shouldn't be, so that the green ghosts, who have never liked to go out and live in the dark all day long, can run from the middle of the city before dawn, which should be a big deal. But what could she be like this?
Mu Wan chuckled in his heart. At this moment, she thought of almost all possibilities.
"The body is gone!"
Mu Wan's heart was blank.
At that moment, she didn't think about it, but she quickly vetoed the possibility. I don't know if it's because she trusts the green ghost too much and thinks it's impossible to make such a mistake, or because she is subconsciously afraid of this statement, so she ignores it?
"Gone?!"
It was not Mu Wan who said this, but the mountains and seas that stood on the steps on the second floor, and had not yet walked down.
The mountains and seas ran all the way down, carefully helping the green ghost to sit down and rest. Wu Qi shouted loudly for Xiao Er to pour tea, and shouted for a long time, but no one dared to come out. Perhaps they were all afraid of this visitor.
"Don't worry, take your time, what's going on?" Shanhai asked her.
"Last night, I caught up with a few friends, and I didn't send them away until the third watch - two batches. The last time I went downstairs, I took a special look there, and it was clearly still there. When I was about to send them away, I went upstairs and didn't pay much attention to it. When I woke up this morning, I went to check on the situation as usual, and found that the body of the wild goose girl had disappeared out of thin air......"
The more she spoke, the paler half of her face became, almost the same color as her mask.
Shanhai also felt very suspicious, he turned his head and asked, "Wu Qi, can you sense the whereabouts of her senior sister?" ”
Shi Wuqi shook his head.
"Impossible. I can only sense Qi, and the others can't be traced. Why don't we go to the scene now, maybe there is still some smell left. ”
They immediately went to the backyard to lead the horses, and as soon as they went around to the main street, Duan Yuesheng stood at the door at some point, looking at the four people who were ready to go with a blank expression.
"Huh? This is ...... Uh, no, Daoist, what are you doing here? ”
"Duan Shaoxia, I'll trouble you to take care of it for the time being" Shanhai clenched the reins, "If she wakes up, tell her that we will be back soon!" ”
"Uh, me, you'......"
"Don't teach her to box!"
"Oh...... Well?? ”
Before Duan Yuesheng could react, several people left.
…… What the hell, where is it?
What the green ghost said was true. When they hurried to Fangchun Courtyard and went upstairs, they did find that the body lying on the wooden bed was gone. Shi Wuqi said that the smell of medicinal herbs here is very strong, and it is difficult to discern whether there is a smell left by anyone.
The green ghost said that it was a coincidence last night, two waves of old friends came to visit her, and the second wave was the Yun sisters who came to catch up. She saw off the first guest first, and then chatted with the sisters for a while before sending them away. These two times, the little two downstairs and the watchman outside the door can testify. By the time she found that Yan Muxue had disappeared, it was already the next morning. There was plenty of time in between, and perhaps the body would have been removed long ago.
They asked the customers and people in the store again, but no one saw anyone suspicious. They didn't ask about the hidden corpse - it would alarm the government, but judging from everyone's answers, they didn't know what the corpse was, and there were a few people who were drunk.
"Is there anyone there, holding a ...... The drunken girl left, dressed in this dress. ”
When Shanhai asked this question, he pointed at Mu Wan, and Mu Wan hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, this body is similar to me?" ”
Everyone said that the people in Fangchun Courtyard were in and out, and it was impossible to notice. Even if you notice it, you quickly forget it. This time, things are even more troublesome.
A few people stood at the top of the stairs in the lobby, but they didn't know what to do, just pacing back and forth.
At this time, a guest approached them.
This is an ordinary person, wearing a clean and snow-white long robe, and his movements are neat and decent. He walked over and saluted them first, Shi Wuqi and Qing Gui, who were leaning on the stairs, straightened up, and Mu Wan, who was walking back and forth, also stopped to look at him. Shanhai saluted him back and asked him what he was doing.
"Just now, I watched a few people go back and forth, aren't they looking for someone? By the way, in Xia Cangyu, there are many offenses. ”
“…… Yes, yes, Canggongzi is good. "Shanhai looked at the few people behind him, and turned around, "We are looking for a girl, wearing the same clothes as this - Liangqiu girl." That person should be ...... Drunk, who took him out. She was not seen last night, and we couldn't find her. ”
"Oh......"
Canggongzi fanned a white feather fan decorated with hair, and his bright eyes constantly looked around them. Shi Wuqi frowned, slightly tugged at the corner of Shanhai's clothes, and pulled him back a little.
"Be careful, this man has a demonic spirit."
"Worthy of ...... The Lord of the Hundred Bones has no abandonment. ”
Canggongzi not only heard it, but also laughed. Mu Wan immediately put his hand on the handle of the umbrella, and the green ghost also stared at him, for fear that a monster would do something wrong in his own territory.
"Don't be nervous. I know you're not looking for a man, you're looking for a dead man. ”
He was calm, but the listener panicked.
"It's you?!" Mu Wan almost pulled out his umbrella, but was pressed back by Shi Wuqi.
"Listen to him," he glared at, "and see what he could say." ”
Canggongzi smiled again, and Shi Wuqi examined him carefully. Compared to those rich children who frequented the land of fireworks, his temperament was more like that of an elegant scholar - not as dull as Liangyue-kun. What's more, it's a monster.,No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a regular visitor to Fangchunyuan.。
Maybe he deliberately waited here.
