Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 29: This is the past year
Dai Luan and Liang Qiu Muwan ran out the back door. There's a lot more stuff piled up on the street. With a vague impression, Dai Luan overturned many things that were placed on the stump. The pots and bowls were shattered to the ground, but she still looked for them in a panic, and finally found the stake in her memory. Pushing aside the heavy solid wood stool above her, she saw the familiar rings.
Isn't this a painfully distorted human face now?
"Mu Wan, you...... Can you split this thing? β
Dai Luan pointed to the pile on the ground. Mu Wan stepped forward to take a look, and compared it, the stump was about as thick as one person.
"Yes." As she spoke, she pulled out her umbrella.
"Split by the roots."
ββ¦β¦ No way. β
She put the umbrella back. Dai Luan was a little panicked again.
"So, what should I do about this...... Yes! Mu Wan, Mu Wan, you can also spell, right! β
Hearing this, Mu Wan was a little relieved, she also took out a blank spell and asked her, "Understand a little." How, you say? β
"Do you know how to write a thunder talisman?"
"This ...... This superior spell is complicated. However, I have a lightning charm in my umbrella that I asked someone else to write. With that, she opened her umbrella and removed a charm from the inside of the umbrella. The spell is a bit old, and the lines on it are a little complicated, and the layman can't understand it at all.
"It's easy to do! I know a few changes! β
"But we don't have that ......"
That kind of ink.
But before Mu Wan's words could be spoken, she saw Dai Luan bite her finger without hesitation. The red blood oozed out, and it hurt just by looking at her. Blood can indeed replace many kinds of ink.
She just didn't expect that Dai Luan could do this kind of thing for her master.
But not the time to sigh. She immediately handed her two pieces of rune paper and asked Dai Luan to draw one in copy. After writing, she pointed to the Yin pattern with the thumbs of both hands, and clenched the charm.
"The hand holds the Nine Heavenly Qi, the howling wind whips the thunder; Lihua Tzu Chi Zhenjun, quick to descend supernatural powers, urgent as a law! β
The moment the spell was smashed on the stake, a thunderbolt like a dragon fell from the sky and exploded towards the place where the spell was. In an instant, the sky shattered, the dust scattered, and the two of them were blasted two feet away by this inexplicably powerful force. When I was able to move, my body was still in terrible pain.
Dai Luan ran hand and foot to Fang Cai's stump, where there was a puff of black smoke and a big hole was blown out. Not to mention the stumps, it's not easy to find all the shattered pieces of wood.
At the bottom of the pit, a huddled skeleton was revealed.
"Original...... Buried here......"
ββ¦β¦ YouβCan you? β
Mu Wan exclaimed. Dai Luan turned her head and smirked at her:
"The mountains and seas are more powerful, the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan thunder universalizes Tianzun, and he can also move."
"Then go back!"
The sound of shouting, burning, splashing water, roosters and dogs barking one after another. After an unusually difficult night, this noisy and chaotic compound finally ushered in daylight.
The family members were exhausted, and they had put out the fire all night, and now they were all discouraged. Taking advantage of the chaos, many people secretly ran away, and the cook was one of them. The demon fire could not be extinguished by water, but since the stump was struck by lightning, the fire quickly became smaller. With the efforts of the family members, the people were quickly rescued.
Shan Hai is fine except for some burns on his arm, and he is rubbing himself with medicine. As for the three men......
The old lady carried her back into the house, and she still breathed that she had been asleep, and she did not know when she would wake up. As for Madame, she has ......"
The one who brought them the washing water was the maid who had talked to Shanhai yesterday. She was explaining the current situation to them, and the death of Kashiwaku's wife was undoubted.
"As for the young master...... He seems to have gone crazy, talking nonsense, and wants to see the young grandmother. He was jumping around the yard, grabbing the dirt on the ground and stuffing it into his mouth. If you stop him, you will say that you are a tree and you should eat mud; After a while, he said that he was a dog and was biting people all over the yard...... Now, he's pressing a few of his servants in the house. β
"Retribution!" Dai Luan scolded as she wiped her smoky blackened sword.
"That's the end of it."
I don't know how many layers of meaning there are in this statement. Shanhai's tone was light, and he didn't sigh. It's like I don't feel sorry for this matter, but it also seems that all the sorrow has been sighed. Finally, Mu Wan, who washed her hands, took the cloth and asked her while wiping her hands:
"Little girl, how long have you been serving the Kashiwaku family? How much do you know about their? β
ββ¦β¦ To tell you the truth, it was the old lady who pressed us in the past and didn't let us talk about it. But anyone who was suspected of speaking out was crippled by the family law, so I didn't dare to speak. But, as Rin Dao Chang said, the Kashiwaya family is also going to be finished, and we, the subordinates, also have to go our separate ways, so it doesn't hurt to tell you. Actually......"
"I know, that year's Dragon Boat Festival, it was Bai Gu's wife who killed Miss Songyun" Shanhai interrupted, "The old lady disposed of the body. The whole thing, the young master also knows. It is estimated that he didn't know her for a long time, so he confessed his family background, and because he had no relationship with Miss Songyun, he just wanted her dowry, so he responded to this conspiracy. β
Mu Wan looked at him with strange eyes, as if he felt that Shanhai had really talked to the dead man face to face. The maid was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and continued:
"The son of the young grandmother back then, who was the real young master, was not going to be recruited to fight. But the old lady drunk him, and while he was confused, she pushed it to the collector, saying that this was her son. Before getting married, the Songyun family thought that the young master was still at home, so they married their daughter. The eldest young grandmother also came, only to find out that it was not her own wishful husband......"
"And the cook lady who was bribed by the old lady has been pretending to be Miss Songyun to reply to the letter," Mu Wan pondered, "until she died, she continued to lie to them according to the instructions......"
"yes. In fact, the young master's business is not profitable at all, and the cook asks the young grandmother's maiden family to constantly ask for ...... In fact, one day the chef talked in her dreams and said that the main house of the big boss was also designed to kill by the old lady back then......"
"It's really vicious, you don't deserve a good death!" After polishing the sword, Dai Luan was still scolding.
It's dirty, people's hearts are so fucking dirty.
"Yo, Dao Chief," the man who had ushered them in had entered, "your horses have been fed and are ready to set off at any time." I'm really sorry to get you into such a file...... By the way, we found a pit at the back door, and the bones of the young grandmother were exposed in the pit. A few of us decided to scrape together the money, bury her, and go our separate ways. Also counted...... For our cowardice back then......"
Shan Hai, who had packed his bags, said nothing. He nodded slightly and stepped out of the doorway. Mu Wan and Ah Luan thanked the two of them and went out with them.
Along the way, no one said anything.
At noon, they came to the inn where they were supposed to rest for the first two nights. There was also a noodle shop at the door, and they dismounted and prepared to settle lunch here.
There was no one at the table to speak, and none of the three of them were in the mood. It's just that while eating this meal, Shanhai gradually feels that this atmosphere is not right. Despite his annoying experiences, he was keenly aware of the atmosphere around him.
The shop is full of pedestrians, and it's not busy, but you can hear the sound of conversation. Can ...... now It's too quiet too.
Shanhai raised his head, looked around, and immediately saw a familiar face standing at the window closest to them, strange and terrifying. The two or three tables in the noodle restaurant looked at him from time to time, and they didn't dare to gossip.
Seeing that the mountains and seas didn't move their chopsticks, the other two also stopped and followed his gaze.
"Jiyue-kun? What are you standing there for? β
"Come in and sit?" Dai Luan beckoned.
Jiyuejun deftly turned in through the window, and did not go through the main door, but sat down unceremoniously on the remaining side of the quadrangular table.
"I'm just waiting for you." He laughed.
Shanhai frowned, his face was not good-looking.
"What's the matter, just say it."
"Tsk, why are you so cold?"
"Not in the mood."
"I heard that a house was burned down in the north......"
"Shut up." Mu Wan said unceremoniously, and patted the edge of the bowl with chopsticks.
Jiyue Jun's ice-like eyes quickly swept over the faces of the two girls, making people wonder if he could see it at all. But he seemed to read the atmosphere of the table, and said nothing more.
"Ahem. I, I, having just finished the business that the lord had arranged, came back to you in a hurry. I thought you had gone a long way, and I followed the spiritual veins and I didn't see you. I asked the local demon and said that I hadn't seen you, so I just touched it all the way back. β
Shanhai hummed perfunctorily, but Dai Luan raised his head and asked him seriously:
"Can't you really lend us these six spiritual veins? It's a lot easier. Or, you go find Liang Yuejun in advance and see if he's still there......"
Jiyue-kun closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Even with my bell, I can't send so many of you at the same time. Let that adult know, blame me. What's more, spiritual veins are not everywhere, and Liangyuejun may not be around there. It's not easy for me to find him, we only saw each other when we went back to Hades. β
Mu Wan seemed to be angry, and felt that he shouldn't be too fierce to him just now, so his tone eased a lot.
"So you're coming to us just to see where we're going?"
Jiyue-kun rested his arms on the edge of the table, his tone much more serious.
"I can find you quickly because if you go further, there will be no place to rest for six or seven days, and I am afraid that you will not have enough dry food."
"How so?" Shanhai put down his chopsticks.
Jiyue-kun shook his head.
"A few decades ago there was a village, but now it's a dead village. I suggest you take a detour and go to the neighboring Xuan ...... first."
"Dead Village?"
"Well, there's a monster at work. However, I am not in charge of the affairs of this area, you just have to ......"
"What youkai?"
Mu Wan's heart was half cold. Hearing this posture, Rin Dao Chang is going to find extra trouble again.
She stared at Jiyuejun's face, and clearly saw a smile from the corner of his mouth, clearly showing that she had figured out Shanhai's character and deliberately set up a set. Shan Hai was afraid that he had already noticed it, but he didn't say anything.
Oh, it's over.
