Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 91: Authenticity is indistinguishable
Somehow, the surroundings suddenly became lively.
Ah Luan came to the backyard alone. There are a lot of people here, and the space seems a little cramped. Many people were chatting here, and a few people who looked like Taoist priests were sweeping the floor and chatting. There were many people resting on the lawn, and they were almost all talking. Everyone's voices were not big, they were not small, and Ah Luan just couldn't hear what they were saying, but he felt that there was still a remnant of the purity of the Daomen.
But...... Where did they come from? It seemed to come out all at once, and it happened in an instant, but it didn't make her realize the abruptness, as if she was in a dream. She looked left and right, and the buildings were relatively new, not as dilapidated as when she first entered. She wanted to go back to find the mountains and seas, shuttling between the crowds, but she couldn't go back to the original place. No matter where you go, it's always like you're always spinning in circles, back and forth are these familiar scenes.
This kind of hustle and bustle gives her the same feeling as when she strayed into the underworld as a child, and suddenly fell into silence from the strong noise. But now, there must be no sword forging master to take him back.
Mu Wan didn't have much patience for long. She stepped forward, directly interrupted the conversation between the two Taoist leaders, and said sharply:
"Ah Luan doesn't know where to go."
"I didn't see her go out, maybe she ran to the back."
When Shi Wuqi said this, he looked at the mountains and seas carefully. His anxiety was evident on his face, and he was not as calm as Dai Luan's usual playful run. So he thought, Shanhai was indeed aware of Linyou's problem.
But what exactly the problem is, no one can say clearly.
Several people hurried to the backyard, shouting Dai Luan's name everywhere, but no one answered. So they scattered a little more and kept looking.
Shi Wuqi smelled a special smell. With his years of experience, he could completely tell that this was the aura that only a corpse would emit. Unlike the stench of the corpse, its pungent aura is diluted, and only a simple, deathly smell pervades. If there is incense burning, perhaps he will not be able to smell it.
It was open outside, and the bodies were buried deeply, so he needed to find some work. Shi Wuqi glanced in the direction of the specially set up cemetery, where the poor and unclaimed bodies were buried. Rich people don't sleep here.
But this smell is not coming from there. This is a fresh death, and it's not human.
He turned around to find Linyou's location and found that he was looking at him. It's better to say, Linyou looked at Qi beside him. This made him a little displeased, but it was difficult to say anything. Before Shi Wuqi could speak, the other party walked up first.
"Your corpse control technique reminds me of a famous person in the rivers and lakes."
"The person you are talking about is not well-known in the rivers and lakes" Shi Wuqi stared at his reddened eyes, "Only in the demon world." β
At this time, Mu Wan ran from behind Linyou. He turned his head and looked at her with Shi Wuqi. But Mu Wan didn't pay attention to it, but walked directly to Shi Wuqi's side. She was running a little fast, and she was breathing fast.
"Found Luan?"
"No," she said, shaking her head, "there's something else, you can show me." β
When he said this, Mu Wan also glanced at Linyou, and the same was true of Shi Wuqi. This subtle hint between the eyes makes the three parties aware of each other's attitudes. Lin You naturally knew that they had some opinions about themselves, but they were still calm, as if they had planned something, but as if they didn't.
Naturally, he went with him.
After walking a few steps, Mu Wan pointed to a small stone, all of which were square. On the way over, Shi Wuqi had already noticed that the breath he had smelled earlier was getting stronger and stronger. He crouched down and scrutinized the stones. Not only are they square, but they are also neatly arranged, and you can tell at a glance that someone has deliberately done it.
He turned his head to look at Linyou, the smile on Linyou's face was gone, but he was not agitated, he just looked at him like a water.
"I feel a faint demonic aura," Mu Wan pointed to the land, "but I'm not sure. I just think it's not normal for such an aura to appear in Taoist temples. β
"It's a cemetery," Shi Wuqi stood up, "but it's not a Taoist priest who is buried, nor is it any other people." β
"That's?"
Shi Wuqi turned to look at Lin You, and answered Mu Wan's question:
"It's Wong Tai Sin buried."
"Huang ...... Yes, the ones that were killed by the witchers? β
"I think so. Lin Dao Chang...... You say you've always lived here, right? β
When a monster dies for a short time, it takes a while for the demonic energy on his body to dissipate depending on the situation, and the same is true for the human aura. It also takes a process for a corpse to decompose, let alone mana. It's just that there aren't so many on ordinary people, so they scatter quickly.
As for Shanhai, he found his apprentice. In a very remote corner, he saw Luan muttering to himself against the wall. He immediately stepped forward, bent down slightly, and patted Luan on the shoulder. She didn't respond, so Shanhai leaned in to hear what she was saying, but strangely enough, he couldn't make out the small words that came out of her mouth. It's not like a complete sentence, it's not like a spell, it's like a dream, muttering words that no one can understand.
Don't you fall into evil again? But in the land of Daomen, how can there be such a great evil spirit? But if you think about it carefully, Ah Luan's eight characters are too weak, and it is indeed easy to be taken advantage of by dirty things, not to mention that this Taoist temple has been deserted for a long time, and there is no righteousness, and it makes sense if something happens.
So, what's going on?
I don't know what the problem is, it will be difficult to solve it, and I don't dare to try to treat my apprentices. He wanted to call someone else, but his companions were nowhere to go. Shanhai wanted to pull her away first, so he grabbed her hand. It doesn't matter if he doesn't drag, he strained her arm slightly, but Ah Luan suddenly turned his head sharply, startling him.
Although Ah Luan looked at him, his eyes seemed to be looking at a stranger.
"I'm not going!" She shouted.
"Ah Luan, listen to me, we ......"
"Don't pull me! I'm not going anywhere, I'm waiting for the mountains and seas to find me! β
ββ¦β¦ Calm down, I'm your master. Do you recognize me? β
"Go away, go away, go away!"
Dai Luan's words were completely inconsistent with the mountains and seas, and he didn't seem to hear what he said at all. She suddenly rushed over, as if she was going to push something away, Shanhai quickly dodged away, and she fled straight. When he said something in his heart, he chased after him.
This is some kind of illusion, and it is very likely that it is a ghost made by Linyou. Shanhai is not stupid, he knows it very well.
Shi Wuqi and they saw the figure of a girl running over from a distance, and the mountains and seas were chasing after them. didn't bother to ask Linyou what to do, and the two took Miss Qi to chase after them. However, their worries were obviously unnecessary, and Shanhai took out the talisman paper from his sleeve, recited the incantation, and threw the talisman onto Ah Luan's back. She suddenly froze in place, almost falling, but was pulled back by an external force on her back. After that, she stood there in a daze. Ah Luan's eyes were still very frightened, and he screamed loudly, as if he had seen something that others couldn't see.
"What's wrong?"
Mu Wan ran over to check on Ah Luan's condition. Shanhai stretched out his hand and made a forbidden gesture, walked up by himself, and pasted another talisman on Ah Luan's head, so that she completely calmed down and was frozen.
"If she fell for some illusion, her time should stand still now" Shanhai turned his head and set his eyes on Linyou, who was sitting on the wall at some point, "This Dao Master, don't you really explain?" β
"Oh, you're amazing."
Although he said this, Linyou didn't feel very shocked. The tone was certainly approving, and their actions did surprise him. But there was a bit of banter in this tone, as if he was sincerely making trouble and watching the excitement.
Mu Wan took out his umbrella and pointed at him: "Don't talk nonsense, you come down!" β
"Yo yo yo, so fierce. It's not good for the girl's skin to be angry" In the blink of an eye, the personable Taoist chief put on an old rascal's face, "It's a pity, I thought you would be able to fall for it." But you guys are so smart, I'm unlucky, I came up and ran into the onmyoji I hated the most, and there were a few. β
"Really? So you were planning to eat the visiting pilgrims? Wu Qi asked him.
"I'm only right...... Part of the human being is interested, for example, the cerebral marrow," he pointed to his temples, "you are so smart, and I was lucky enough to think that if I could win you, I would be able to practice for hundreds of years." β
But judging by his calm tone, he may have been prepared for failure a long time ago.
"Those graves are buried with your own kind, and you have eaten their brains?"
Mu Wan's expression and tone were a little disgusted, and she clearly showed this emotion. Shanhai understood something from these words, and he immediately asked:
"You said that there were other Onmyoji who killed them, is that true?"
Linyou smiled again. It's obviously an expression that doesn't make a difference, but after exposing the malice, it looks a lot more frivolous.
"Ah, I didn't lie to you about that. It's true that I hate Onmyoji, and it's true that he killed themβcannibalism also helps demonic powers, but I won't eat them. They are my family. β
He doesn't shy away from saying all this, making it impossible to tell the truth from the fake. Perhaps it was his purpose to confuse the real and the false in this way. The five kinds of family immortals are all good at such word tricks.
"You hate Onmyoji, go to the person who killed them to take revenge, why harm innocent people?"
"Are you kidding me? You want me to fight right now with the murderer who killed more than 20 of my relatives at the same time, so that I could be sent to my death? Girl, you're so humorous. β
"But you're not a yellow immortal," Shi Wuqi looked at him, "Although you hide your demonic qi tightly, the smell on your body itself is not human, and it is very different from a weasel. β
"So didn't I say it at the beginning," he spread his hands, "I'm Linyou, it's Linyou." β
Yes.
They get it.
It's not a weasel, it's a weasel.
