Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 183: Affectionate Truth
"It's you......"
Frost Moon's tone suddenly became lazy—though he usually did. But at least in this way, Mu Wan can breathe a sigh of relief. After all, he seemed relaxed.
"You're with a woman?" The voice said again.
"Well, yes...... I'm going to take her to the nearest spiritual vein exit. She's looking for someone. ”
"Oh."
The voice responded shortly, indifferently. So Frost Moon Jun continued to leave, and the source of the sound may have also left. But during the whole process, Mu Wan did not feel the slightest breath of "third person". She followed two steps, and before she could figure it out, the voice came from behind her, which had been stretched out again—even though she still didn't know the exact location, who it was.
"What's that woman's name?"
"Huh?" Frost Moon Jun slowly turned his head, "What, what's the matter?" ”
Mu Wan's cold hair stood up.
Who is it? Is there another six levels of impermanence? Why can't she see? Frost Moon Jun can't see it? Or is it some other youkai or human who has the ability to cross the spirit vein? Are they a few people from the Shadow Pavilion? It was a voice she hadn't heard, probably not. Why do you want to ask about Frost Moon's actions? Or did it take a while to ask? Are their missions overlapping, or are they hostile? Will Frost Moon Jun answer him? And does the other party care about this answer? Will he help himself, or will he ask casually, or will he ......
To kill yourself?
No, calm down, it's not like that, she's not that capable of making a six-realm impermanence...... Or some other person with amazing spiritual power to kill her. But at this time, the reddish-brown "burn" on the back of her neck was faintly painful. She didn't know if it was psychological, because she couldn't see the shape of the wound, but she clearly felt its presence, and the outline was very clear.
Until now, she has no time to figure out when she did something wrong and committed a "mortal crime" that would leave such an ugly mark on the lotus pond.
Is someone going to make her pay? Will he listen to himself? And what convincing rhetoric do you have to negotiate with? Or some other enemy...... A person who is branded with the curse of the Immortal Moon Monarch, or someone under Wu Yuangui, or an outlaw like Tang He. Or more people, more people she didn't know.
"I'm looking for my way." The voice said.
"What way?" Frost Moon looked back behind him. It seemed that he was indeed a little wary of the person who was inexplicably interested in Mu Wan, and she didn't know whether to be happy or something else.
"The nearest road to the Snow Inkstone Valley."
Mu Wan's heart tingled like a knife, or an awl, or something sharper—no, something blunt pierced his left chest, heavy and sour. This pain even reminded her of the murder of Yan Muxue back then.
The appearance of Yuting being killed.
The appearance of the blue ghost being killed.
All who died for her and for her, the human form.
Who?
Do?
…… Why?
Can't think of any more questions. Since none of them have answers, there is no point in asking about other things.
Pointless.
Frost Moon squinted at her. He felt that although she was not moving, her heart was trembling violently, as if she was about to break through the limits of the invisible in the next moment.
"Go to Snow Yan Valley...... Do what? ”
"Someone wants to go, to their companion's place. Their companions were gone. So......" the voice paused, "what's the name of the woman next to you?" ”
Mu Wan almost fainted.
"Who are you?" She asked the vast sea of stars.
The only answer to her was silence, not even an echo.
Frost Moon Jun grabbed the sleeve behind her elbow and tugged it this way, signaling her not to mess around.
"Why don't you tell me the names of her companions? That would make the little girl feel more at ease, wouldn't it? Frost Moon Jun raised his head slightly, "Shui Wujun? ”
"Ah......h
She was relieved, and her whole body was slumped in the void where the night and flickering were intertwined.
Dai Luan had been in a daze for a long time at the candle, and Shanhai had put his arms on the table and was lying down, probably resting. The table was littered with divination coins, candles, and the white headband. It's still clean, and at first glance it's been carefully preserved. And Chi Li and Mo Liang were not here, and when Mo Liang came back with Dai Luan, he was called away by Chi Li. She wanted to go out for a walk with him and talk—even though it was late, too late.
Yun Qingzhan and Yun Qingxian stood at the door, like two door gods. But this pair of "door gods" has feelings and is alive. From time to time, they looked inside, and from time to time, they looked outside, waiting for the Polar Moon Monarch and them to return. They didn't dare to ask, because they heard it before a stick of incense, and Shanhai whispered in the house: "Why isn't it there?" ”
Why is it not in the world?
At this moment, the two girls suddenly looked ahead at the same time.
- It is true that someone came, but it was not their master, and it was not Shui Wujun.
"Ahh
"Shh
The man gestured. The two girls nodded and let the door open. The wood in the village is soft and soft, and they cut the special wood from the mountains, so there is no sound from the utensils - including the door. Until someone's shadow crept in from outside the door and loomed over the table.
"Why not? I felt like she was so close to us that I could almost smell her. Dai Luan said stupidly.
Shanhai didn't look up, and let out a muffled voice: "What smell?" Hair band. ”
"A faint, faint scent." Dai Luan looked at the candle and gestured, "It's a smell I've never smelled and can't tell." It is different from the flowers and fruits of the mortal world, probably, it came from heaven. ”
"You're going crazy."
"Maybe it's the sachet. Although she seems to have lost it...... Alas, I saw her. ”
Dai Luan's cheeks were itchy, and she felt like small worms were crawling on it. But where do the bugs come from on such a cold day? She touched her face impatiently, hooking her hair that didn't belong to her. She raised her head, saw a familiar face, and sighed softly.
Shan Hai raised his head sharply.
“……”
"Really. I'm crazy, I'm hallucinating. ”
As she spoke, she clasped her palms together and suddenly slapped Mu Wan's face.
"Oh, I'll go—" she cried, "how do you beat people!" ”
It was probably this sentence that made Dai Luan stay for a while. She glanced at the mountains and seas, and then turned her head to look at the Qingxian and Qinglan at the door—as well as Chi Li and Mo Liang, who came back from a walk at some point. The four of them whispered at the door, probably communicating something, but Dai Luan's mind went blank.
She slammed Mu Wan's neck, and she didn't let go for a long time, almost strangling her back.
This is a night that is not destined to be quiet, if it weren't for Chi Li's repeated reminders, Dai Luan would have woken up the entire village.
"You know what? That spiritual vein is so beautiful...... It's only now that I think about it. It was just scared, just cold. It's been a long time since I've been with you - I used to be alone, but I didn't have long to meet you, and I haven't experienced any storms and waves yet. Mu Wan said in a croaking voice, as if he wanted to make up for all the words that he hadn't finished a few days ago, "There are stars everywhere, on the head, under the feet, in the southeast, northwest, front and back, left and right, shining in all directions, it's so beautiful." I'm sorry I can't draw, otherwise I'd have to find a way to draw it for you. But how do you draw stars? They are luminous, shouldn't they be made of black paper and white ink? I'm ......."
She spoke inconsequential words unscrupulously, as if trying to disguise and heal the scars—visible and invisible. She wanted them to come to naught in the excitement. This pale disguise is visible to almost everyone. What's more, she wore her hair down.
"Liangqiu......" Shanhai interrupted her softly, "Your headband ......"
"Ahh She looked at the table and grabbed her hairband, "Isn't this where Jiyue-kun is?" Why is he here with you? Or did I fall on you before......"
Shanhai wanted to say something, but after all, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he closed his mouth. Dai Luan had been listening, but then she suddenly rushed up and kissed her fiercely on the forehead. Xue Yangu's forehead ornament almost pressed into her skin, like a stamp, a little painful. But it's much better than other forms of wounds and pain.
"You and the mountains and seas scare me!" She shouted, "And Shi Wuqi, you all scare me!" ”
Mu Wan took her in his arms, hugged her gently, and said nothing.
Shanhai came face to face with her, and he took the opportunity to point to the door. Chi Li and Mo Liang leaned against the door, watching her all the time. The look was not hostile, nor friendly, it was more like some kind of observation, some kind of scrutiny. Under normal circumstances, it can definitely arouse Mu Wan's dissatisfaction. But she only sighed slightly, sideways her eyebrows, and asked.
Dai Luan looked up from her embrace and said to her:
"They are Chi Li and Mo Liang...... Mo Liang is the heir of the Mo family, the only heir. ”
"Ah, I've heard that." So Mu Wan nodded to him kindly, "It's a huge family...... Once. ”
Her last voice was very small, but Mo Liang still heard it, it was better to say that she was not prepared to hide it at first, but she just felt rude and lowered her voice.
"Ever." Mo Liang repeated, not a provocation, but a certainty.
"Sorry......"
"It's okay, it's true."
Shan Hai frowned slightly, his pale lips trembled slightly, and as if he mustered up courage, he signaled in the direction of Chi Li.
"That's ...... Yes, yes—the daughter of your master. ”
Mu Wan didn't seem to understand, and was stunned in his seat. She had no idea what was going on in her head. Instead, it was Chi Li, who took two steps forward and stood in front of her, looking straight at her.
"You're my father's last disciple?"
“……”
"It's not like me at all."
Outside the door, Frost Moon Jun and Shui Wuyue glanced at the small, candle-lit house that had been very lively before. Then, their eyes briefly intertwined.
Frost Moon squinted and raised a finger to the side of his waist where the only sword hung from it.
"That fake...... Have you ever been unsheathed? ”
