Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 241: Hitting a Stone with an Egg
Wule City changed its name, and it was called back to Wule City.
I thought that the city lord with a snarky face was a mediocre person, but I didn't expect that there would be something to do at a critical moment. Shanhai secretly thought that if Jiyuejun was present, he would definitely say; "I'll tell you that people who make music aren't bad people."
Dai Luan has an extra saber, which is much sharper and harder than the peachwood sword of the past. It's just that this sword can't hit a proper scabbard. Because its surface undulates like solidified water lines, it either can't be stuffed into the sheath, or it is stuffed into it loosely and worn on the body. So Yun Ge found her a strip of cloth, soaked the oil of the sword guard, and carefully wrapped it up, as before.
If you think about it, it is said that the scabbard of the Demon Sealing Blade is also wrapped in layers of strange strips of cloth and covered with charms. I don't know if Shui Wujun had such a meaning when he first treated Broken Dust Huan like this.
No matter how you say it, it is also a metal sword, and it is heavier than the previous peachwood sword. She felt that this sword should not belong to her, and wanted to transfer it to Shanhai, but he also politely refused. He said that this should be something that belongs to Ah Luan himself.
I don't know if Yun Ge really understands the meaning of the heart. They didn't ask, and he didn't say.
"Where do you want to go next? What do you want to do? β
When Shanhai asked him, Yun Ge was retracting the strip of cloth that had dried in the shade. There has been no sun for the past two days, and there is still some light rain from time to time. Yun Ge thought for a moment and said:
"Just stay here and continue to run this old shop."
"Are you sure?" Shi Wuqi was a little curious, "Then are you still concerned about the secluded thing?" β
"I do. I'm here, and I still hope to hear from Ruyue-kun. First, I want to get my deceased father's relics back. Rest assured, I'm not obsessed with carving something into it anymore. If the six realms of impermanence want to recycle it, I can understand and understand it, but I can only feel at ease if I see it with my own eyes. Second, I'm a little curious, with a character like Cheng You, what can be compared to Ruyuejun. β
Mu Wan smiled: "If you know the victory, you have to tell us as soon as possible." β
"Definitely."
In the end, they still didn't tell him about Yunge's mother. Since he is going to personally embark on the road of finding the result, whether Ruyuejun wants to say it or not, and whether Cheng You will tell him, it doesn't matter to them. The choices you make always have to bear the corresponding joys and sorrows.
There was a strange thing.
After the annihilation of the ghost girl's thousand faces, the weapons left by Shui Wujun were gone, except for Broken Dust. It's as if someone in the shadows has quietly taken them away while they're not looking. It shouldn't be a little monster who robs while the fire is burning, but something else that is impermanent, or black and white. After all, such a heavy soldier as cutting blood and sealing the throat can be taken away quickly and easily, which is indeed not something that ordinary little people can do.
It's time for them to go to Qinglize. You have to go back to Cangyu City first, and then pass through Biliyuan. I don't know what kind of scenery I will see in late spring.
Shanhai knew that the three of them had something in their hearts. And they, without exception, are all suffering from what happened in the past. They are all making redemptions for the future.
Is that really the case?
If that's the case, it couldn't be better.
When they were in Cangyu City, they heard such a wonderful story. For some time in the last year, the nomads of the steppes have often invaded the city. It's not really a knife to deal with, it's just a special difficulty for people crossing the border. Men and women, young and old, often die for life. When they heard this, they all began to feel weak. The thought of many innocent people paying for their deeds weighs on my heart like a stone.
Maybe we should take the opportunity to communicate with them, this is what Shanhai means. But giving without giving up is opposed. He thinks that all of this is to blame for the first few bad guys who bullied little Tartar. And they have already suffered retribution. But now that all this is over, people continue to suffer, and Shanhai thinks this is inappropriate. While they were arguing, Mu Wan didn't know what to say. She herself is also a little contradictory, in the past, she would definitely stand on the position of Shi Wuqi without hesitation, but now in this regard, she is a little indecisive.
Dai Luan asked the storyteller, saying that in this way, wouldn't the Cangyu City Lord care? The man said to take care of it, of course he had to take care of it, where is the reason why his people are slaughtered by others. But as soon as he sent his troops to fight against him, he returned that day. The government's rhetoric was that it had won a great victory, and that the barbarians would never invade the city again. And indeed, the roads are safer after that, and people no longer have to walk in groups. It's just that some soldiers have released rumors, in fact, they didn't clash at all, otherwise no matter how backward that group of grassland people were, it would be impossible for Cangyu City not to lose a single soldier.
"So what happened? Did they make peace? β
"Nope. It is said that there was a big monster, and I don't know what spell was cast, and both sides stopped fighting as if they were drugged. β
"What kind of youkai?"
"A big fox demon."
They don't argue anymore.
Drug-like spells are not necessarily available in this world. But if it is a boat, it is not difficult to solve this problem. His eloquence, his observations, his own views on all these things, and his ability to explain those perceptions and what has happened. And his explanation, in the face of that powerful demonic power, whether it is persuasive or not, you must choose to believe.
Because the storyteller also said that it was a big fox with five tails.
He got stronger. This may be a source of comfort for them, but it is also worth fearing for more.
I thought it would be full of dangers, and Biliyuan walked so easily. However, because it didn't take long for the "reconciliation" to happen, people still had to get together and pool money to hire a dart master before they were willing to leave. To be on the safe side, they also crossed the steppe with the large caravan. It was indeed a safe journey, and they didn't even see a trace of their stationing. I don't know if they left here to go farther away, or hid to hide from the Central Plains. Maybe bartering business can still be done, but it is their dignity not to have contact with the Central Plains people.
Riding on her horse, Dai Luan looked up at the empty sky. An eagle spread its wings and chased her gaze for a long time, until the point was completely lost in the sky, and she turned back to her sore neck.
Qinglize is a little hot and humid. Overall, it felt like the climate wasn't much different from the last time they came. When they came to the courtyard where they had been rented, the shopkeeper was still there, and they recognized them at a glance. He was relieved to learn that the package brought by the hired dart master was not short of catties or two. However, he looked embarrassed, and did not really want to rent the house to them again.
It's not hard to understand, after all, they also lost a lot of money last time.
Indeed, for the sake of their lost money, the shopkeeper didn't gossip about other families. He recommended another place to stay for them, which was a small inn, very close to Qinglu Cliff.
For Shanhai, it was easy to detect the emotions of those three people. Dai Luan lowered her head almost all the way, keeping her attention on the sword. Indeed, for her, the loss of Shui Wujun is no less sad than the loss of a loved one. And the closer Mu Wan got to Qing Lize, the more restless he became. In her heart, she is no longer a qualified onmyoji, and she is not even worthy of continuing to be a demon envoy. The dangers they had experienced in Qing Lize, she didn't have the courage and ability to parry them now. What's more, the Shadow Pavilion wouldn't necessarily prescribe a tengu antidote for her. Take 10,000 steps back, even if she gives, she is not sure that Tengu will listen to her instead of hurting her.
As for Shi Wuqi, he paid more attention to Miss Qi along the way. For them, Miss Qi is not a person, because she really doesn't have any human appearance. Her every move is controlled, submissive, and emotionless. If it is compared to a subordinate or a pet, this is a kind of humiliation for Ah Qi and Wu Qi, and this is completely different. In the hearts of others, she is like a sharp blade.
If you think about it, isn't it as heavy as an adult to cut blood and seal your throat?
They had only rested for a day, and then they were about to set off to find the Shadow Pavilion again. Although this environment is quite familiar, it has been too long to find the path to the Shadow Pavilion. In their minds, they remembered that there were many ordinary spiritual veins intertwined with them. The deer bones of Qinglu Cliff, those two eye sockets, are also doors. They came to the bottom of the Qinglu cliff and were still discussing.
"I can take you to the hole in the cliff." Dai Luan said, "Trust me, I still remember! β
"It's not a question of whether you remember or not." Shanhai had a headache, "We need to find the nearest and best way to go." You can't afford to waste all your time on the road. β
"I don't think it's necessary to spend money on disputes."
The master and apprentice looked at Mu Wan and knew that she had no malicious intent in what she said. She was just in a bad mood, irritable, anxious, and helpless. The combination of these negative factors makes it difficult to cheer her up. It's normal to have a little emotion, they don't take care of it.
It can be seen that she is very evasive. The loss of Ye Yinlu hit her too big and too far-reaching.
But she didn't expect anything, something would happen. While they were talking, Shi Wuqi looked at the trees beside him without saying a word. It was a tall tree with tiny greenery growing on it. A scorpion circled it twice and now stopped on its side.
"Since you are here, you can see people openly, so why hide it."
The other three stopped talking and looked in the direction he and Miss Qi were looking. Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, the scorpion paused for a long time before crawling behind the tree. Coming out from the other side was a beautiful woman with long braids.
"It's early for the girl to solve the cigarette."
"Hmph."
"I'm tired of you leading the way." Shi Wuqi smiled calmly and calmly.
"How can you be sure that I'm here to lead the way, not to explore the wind?"
"If it were just to probe the wind, you wouldn't be chatting with me now. Gao Yuejun's hands and eyes are all over the sky, omniscient, omniscient. I must have known that we were here to visit, so I asked you to lead the way. β
Xie Yan narrowed his eyes, swept over them, and stopped talking. She turned, and Shi Wuqi motioned for the others to follow. Mu Wan hesitated again and again, and went with them. After a long walk, I passed through a curtain of water and entered a narrow cave. The sight soon became familiar to themβdamp and cold, with the distant sound of water and a beautiful glowing plant dancing in the air to illuminate the way.
This time, what kind of request will Gao Yuejun make?
