Chapter 165: Shadow in the Woods
"Is there a way you can find Xu Qiyao quickly? Or, a way to find Xu Xiaoru's remnant soul? ”
"Xu Qiyao's current situation is too special, neither human nor ghost, I have already tried it just now, no."
Yang Muqing's answer has always been either/or, and he will never give a vague or plausible response, he is a good comrade-in-arms.
"Okay." Murong Cao let out a long sigh and wrapped the shawl on his body, "Then we can only use the stupidest method - carpet search." ”
"I've heard people say that the stupidest thing is probably the most effective."
Yang Muqing took off the coat on his body and put it on Murong Cao, both of them looked like they should be, and their movements did not have the slightest condensation, after all, Murong Cao was really a little chilly, and Yang Muqing's current physique was definitely not comparable to that of normal people, and he couldn't be informal.
"This sentence is definitely not what I said, and it is certainly not taught by Bodhizi, we are all people who like to take shortcuts."
Murong Cao rubbed his sore eyes, trying to adapt to the dark environment, the location here is remote, different from the bright lights in the city center, although it is not called a wilderness, but the road is indeed very gloomy and deserted.
"He's, you're not."
Murong Cao was slightly surprised, she wasn't asking a question, but Yang Muqing gave her own answer with a full attitude.
"Muqing, did I say that you seem to have changed a little recently?"
"Didn't say that, did you?"
"Yes. How so? Now you feel more confident than before, it's not that you weren't confident before, it's just that you're more willing to express your thoughts now, instead of taking everything to heart like before. ”
Yang Muqing was silent for a long time, did not say anything, and asked rhetorically: "Then do you think I am so good now?" ”
"I didn't think you had anything wrong before!"
Murong Cao smiled heartily, and his laughter was like a beautiful silver bell, sending a signal that was difficult to interpret.
This is a park with very complete facilities, the area is large enough, lawns, rockeries, pavilions, pools, children's playgrounds, physical exercise facilities are everything, there are many roads leading to everywhere, it is not too easy to find a person, the sky is not bright, you can't see how good the scenery is, but it must not be bad, the cold wind comes from the light fragrance of grass and trees, which makes people feel refreshed.
The two looked around, it took nearly an hour, but it disturbed a lot of sleeping animals, but the figure was not seen for half of them, and finally Yang Muqing intercepted a female ghost hanging on the swing, confirming that Xu Qiyao did not come to the park in the middle of the night.
"Why do I feel that female ghost is afraid of you?"
Murong Cao consciously smeared his eyelids with ghost water before Yang Muqing began to ask, and witnessed the whole process freely.
"Is there one? I don't feel it. ”
Yang Muqing recalled it, and really didn't find any abnormal behavior or words of the female ghost.
"It doesn't dare to raise its eyes at you the whole time, and when you ask it to let it go, the speed of the slip is called fast."
"Some ghosts don't like to deal with people, and ghosts are inherently fast."
Yang Muqing explained very seriously, and Murong Cao couldn't help but laugh again.
"That's funny?"
Yang Muqing suddenly felt that he couldn't keep up with Murong Cao's thinking.
"No, your way of being serious about everything reminds me of a person."
"Oh."
Yang Muqing knew with a lot of eyes who she was thinking of at the moment, and was inexplicably a little unhappy with this situation of remembering that person through herself.
"Let's go find Li Hang, I have a gut feeling that maybe he has seen Kiki by now."
Murong Cao clenched his fists nervously and made a forward charge.
Although the groves in the south are not as spacious and beautiful as those in the north, they can also have a unique poetic quality, especially when the sun rises and the stars and moon are full. If it is in the second half of the night, it is full of gloomy atmosphere that rejects people thousands of miles away.
Li Hang did find Xu Qiyao, by the small river where they often went for picnics.
But he stood like a puppet in the shadow of the trees, and his feet could not move half a step forward.
Until Yang Muqing and Murong Cao found him, he still maintained this motionless movement.
"Li is timid, are you scared?"
Murong Cao smiled and patted Li Hang's back, but he didn't get the response he imagined.
"Shhhh
Yang Muqing covered her mouth and motioned for her to stop making a sound.
Ten meters away, Xu Qiyao stretched her beautiful limbs and danced, dancing very gracefully, like a swallowtail butterfly. What's even more amazing is that although she is dancing solo, there is a person dancing with her in the air, she is full of smiles, staring at the existence in the void, affectionate, if you listen carefully, there seems to be a subtle melody around her, not like the music of mortal dust, but like the natural harmony of the wind blowing leaves, water hitting stones, and air passing through the holes.
Yang Muqing felt a familiar and dangerous aura, exactly the same as the one he encountered when he went downstairs from the top floor of the library.
That "man", is it here now?
But I can't see him, I can't even capture his location, this situation of being isolated from some kind of space, or maybe that "person" has set a strange barrier.
Through this enchantment, they could see Xu Qiyao, but they couldn't see him dancing with her.
After Murong Cao saw the situation in front of him clearly, he bumped Yang Muqing with his elbow and asked him if he wanted to take action with his eyes.
Yang Muqing shook his head, the enemy is in the dark, he is in the light, he can't figure out the depth, and it is not appropriate to act rashly.
The horizon gradually brightened, dyeing the heavy clouds with bright edges, and the sun, which did not look very warm, laboriously burrowed half of its head, scattering the morning light on the strange grove.
As the first rays of sunlight shone on Xu Qiyao, she fell to the ground like a withered bud.
Yang Muqing sensed that the enchantment had disappeared, and the invisible coercion had disappeared with the sunlight.
He made a gesture forward, and only Murong Cao followed him to check Xu Qiyao's condition, and Li Hang was still in a state of infatuation.
"Kiki, Kiki, can you hear me?"
"She's fine."
Xu Qiyao didn't have any external injuries on her body, but her clothes were thin, her body temperature was slightly low, her breathing was steady and long, and she actually fell asleep.
"Li Hang, are you stimulated by something? Why don't you come over and help! ”
Murong Cao's face was annoyed, unable to understand Li Xuan's indifferent behavior.
"I have seen the dance she just danced, and she danced to me at Xu Xiaoru's house."
Li Hang said word by word, there was no panic in his eyes, only despair at the end of the road.
