【Chapter 90】The Singer
Hearing this, Yu Moji nodded approvingly.
On the one hand, she agreed with Yuan Yizhi's words, but on the other hand, she was a little embarrassed. After all, she has always trusted Yuan Yizhi, and often takes what this person says as a guideline, and when she has a different opinion, she often simply thinks that the other party's point of view is more convincing.
On the contrary, from Yuan Zhizhi's point of view, the status of the two people seems to be more equal.
Yu Mochen thought for a while, and said, "This matter is really strange, it seems that we have to go to the Xuannu Temple to investigate again." It's just that since you rescued me in front of those saints this time, I'm afraid I've lost their trust and can't get in anymore. ”
Yuan Pingzhi smiled and said, "I changed my mind." Rather than throwing you alone into this unchangeable Xuannu Temple, it may be safer for the two of us to go in head-on together. ”
Yu Moji's face flushed. Although Yuan Pingzhi's words were meant to comfort her, to her ears, he was more or less questioning her ability to break into the demon cave alone.
"Although I didn't go far this time, I did know some things about the Xuannu Temple." Yu Mochen paused for a moment, and in her mind that had not fully sobered up, she sorted out the Salesian Bureau, the cognitive impairment, and the pepper lotus brain that she swallowed inexplicably, and planned to tell Yuan Zhizhi.
Yuan Zhizhi made a silent gesture, "I'll talk about it later." "We're still in the woods," he said. This place is not far enough from the Xuannu Temple, and we have more or less been tricked, and our judgment of the surrounding situation is quite limited, so it is not appropriate to discuss the information here. He glanced at Yu Moji and said half-jokingly, "Let me tell you a more serious hallucination—how can you be sure that the person in front of you must be me?" ”
Yu Mojin was stunned for a moment, and blurted out, "I will never mistake General Yuan." As soon as she spoke, her face turned red again. Where did she come from to say this?
Yuan Pingzhi obviously didn't expect her to react like this. He paused visibly, glanced at Yu Moji with interest, and then said, "Hallucinations are such things that sometimes deceive you with the help of shifts in attention, such as these cypress trees that don't seem to be important; Other times, the illusion is based on your knowledge of something. ”
Yu Moji could only look at him suspiciously.
Yuan said, "When my father visited the southwest in his early years, he left a lot of notes, covering a wide range of aspects, I am afraid that I could not achieve them with my life's strength. One of them was a drug that, according to my father, was able to make people see their deceased loved ones out of thin air. It is said that the stronger the longing, the more details are remembered in the mind of the person who is tricked, the fuller that false image becomes, and many poor people become addicted to the drug and eventually become insane because of it. ”
Yu Moji's eyelids jumped, and his heart said Could this drug be pepper lotus brain?
What kind of weird thing did she eat?
Yuan Zhizhi followed closely and said, "Later, many forces in the southwest region were fired, and the forces that possessed this drug originally tried to control people's hearts through illusions, but they were bombarded by heavy artillery and there was nothing left. That strange drug was also burned. ”
Yu Mozhen breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what the pepper lotus brain was, it wouldn't be the kind of bastard drug that borrowed someone's dead relatives to make trouble.
After all, Yuan Pingzhi has a Yan armor by his side, while walking, while checking the surrounding environment, when he is not sure, he will throw out the hook and spying, and the actions are very similar to Ling Ai's behavior of using an arquebus to spy on the cave mechanism in the past.
Yu Mojin remembered that Ling Ai had also said in the past that the reason why she was familiar with those techniques was because her family had been using the mechanism designed by Lao Meng to train her. Since Yuan Yizhi is the son of Lao Meng, he should naturally have a lot of family education in the same lineage, and there are similarities between him and Ling Ai's way of dealing with unfamiliar environments, which seems to be reasonable.
Thinking of the things in the cave, Yu Moji's mood gradually decreased.
Yuan Zhizhi didn't give her time to be down.
There are so many things that need to be paid attention to, and Yu Moji has no weapons, so he almost relies on Yuan Yizhi along the way, but he always stops from time to time to say a few useful and useless words to Yu Moji.
Yu Moji agreed seriously at the beginning, and after saying a few more words, he understood Yuan Yizhi's intentions.
"This place is very gloomy, but I haven't been to a more gloomy place." Yu Mojin shook her head, trying to leave behind the scenes of the snow-capped mountain cracks and rivers and mountains that had invaded her mind, "General Yuan doesn't need to be distracted to appease me. I'm right after you. She smiled a little mischievously and added, "Try not to make a mess." ”
Yuan Pingzhi's little trick was seen through by her, and she was not embarrassed, she only smiled, "You are always so sensible." ”
With the protection of Yuan, the process of getting out of the woods is also safe. At least, along the way, neither the mysterious saint nor the bewitching crow came to harass him.
After the two left the woods, they did not return to the rented hut they had rented.
For the saintess of the Xuannu Temple, Yuan Yizhi's previous painstaking identity has already revealed the true nature of the deception, and it is even more dangerous to go back at this time. Yu Moji sighed secretly, knowing that the peaceful life he had imagined in farming and weaving was over. On the other hand, she was also a little puzzled - what new place could Yuan Yizhi find in such a short period of time?
Thinking like this, she raised her eyes to look at Yuan Yizhi, and found that although the other party still habitually maintained the usual easy-to-use demeanor, his face also showed a little caution and seriousness.
In this territory that is deeply influenced by the Xuannu Sect, it seems that the pressure is still quite great to retreat from the hands of those saints who can't see through.
Yuan Pingzhi's armor should be a new product specially designed by the cardinal, it has all the functions it should have, and the weight is also very light, and it smells expensive from head to toe. Since this thing is so lightweight, when Yuan Yizhi is in a hurry, even if he stops using the power system of the mecha box in order to save a thousand years of gold, his speed will not be affected too much. In this way, he blatantly put on his armor and walked forward with the remaining ink marks.
He clearly has a clear idea of the direction under his feet, and walks quite well. But the path he chose could no longer be called a road, but seemed to have been carved out by Yuan Yizhi himself in the wilderness.
Yu Moji hadn't been here before. But after thinking about it, she guessed that Yuan Yizhi might have made a lot of preparations while she didn't know. Since he had the ability to hide this light but space-consuming armor near the cypress grove without realizing it, it should be a normal thing to design an alternative retreat in advance alone.
After all, Yuan Pingzhi is Yuan Pingzhi, and in Yu Moji's heart, this person is almost omnipotent.
However, Yu Mojian was amazed, but still hoped that this person could discuss a few more words with her, so that she could be prepared, so that she would not be at a loss to follow Yuan Pingzhi with an ignorant face like a useless burden.
The two of them ran all the way through the wilderness, and after a long time at night, they finally reached a large road that could be walked by ordinary people. Not far ahead, there is a small yamen.
This probably belongs to a certain Lizheng. Yu Mojian's understanding of herself has always been that of pariahs from remote places, but at this time, she also felt that compared with the ordinary people exposed to the influence of the Xuannu Sect, the officers and soldiers might still be more reliable.
Yuan Yizhi flashed the military card when he entered the door, explaining his identity. Yu Mochen was still dressed as a village girl, and when she was feeling embarrassed, she was surprised to see Yuan Pingzhi take out her military badge. Only then did she remember, because she knew that she was not careful, she handed over the military card to Yuan Zhizhi for safekeeping before pretending to be a village girl.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Pingzhi actually kept this thing with him all the time.
The steward's errand checked the military card, and hurriedly went to Lizheng, who was already asleep, and instructed his subordinates to clean up the two rooms for them to come out, so that the two could stay temporarily.
Yuan Yizhi was a popular man in the imperial capital, and when he came to this kind of rural place, even if there were not many people who knew him, the rank of deputy general was equally loved. Li Zheng, who had just woken up, quickly came out, and pulled Yuan to talk about it.
This kind of conversation is purely for the sake of climbing, Yu Moji is not too embarrassed to come forward to disturb, and she has no intention of getting involved in it. Running all the way, she was really tired, and after talking to Yuan Pingzhi, she followed her back to her house.
As soon as the next person left, Yu Moji's whole body relaxed. She lay down for a while on the not-so-soft bed, in a very ugly position because she was completely relaxed.
When he was about to fall asleep, Yu Moji sighed leisurely and sat up.
Even though she coveted the bed, she knew that this was not the time to rest. The information in her hand should be told to Yuan Zhizhi quickly; On the other hand, since she didn't want to be a fool who only knew how to follow Yuan Zhizhi and be protected by him, she had to muster up the courage to ask for clarification about her future plans.
Yu Moji tried to lift his spirits, listening attentively to the sound of Yuan Yizhi's room next to him, so as not to miss the moment when he returned. At the same time, she went through the experience in the Xuannu Temple in her mind, thinking about how to explain these things to Yuan Yizhi in the clearest and most concise way. After the tragedy of Xu Fuzi, her memory seems to have been affected a little, and it is easy to forget; After walking in the Xuannu Temple, she felt that her mind was a little confused, so she had to recall these important information over and over again, so as not to make mistakes and omissions when reporting to Yuan Zhizhi.
The houses in this yamen follow the folk customs of this place, and they are made of wood, and people can hear them when they walk on the floor. After a while, Yu Moji heard that Yuan Zhizhi had returned.
She was embarrassed to knock on Yuan Yizhi's door in the middle of the night, and just wanted to pinch the moment before he entered the door to talk about these official things. This is the right time.
Yu Moji hurriedly rolled over from the bed and went out to take a look, but he didn't even see a figure.
She wondered in her heart, could it be that the night was hazy, and she didn't see it clearly?
She looked around, and was even more frightened—it was dark around her, and she could see that all of a sudden, the scene around her had changed.
The door she had just walked out of had now turned into a staircase that went down, like a cage from which she could not escape, and like a huge toothless mouth, waiting for her to fall into it as a prey.
It's a familiar scene. The place where Yu Moji lived with her parents when she was very young, the last image she presented in front of her eyes was such a dark doorway. Although she managed to escape from the doorway with all her strength as a child, she remained imprisoned in the nightmare of the doorway for many years afterward.
This time, she didn't know if she would be able to escape.
Yu Moji wanted to flee to an open place, but there was a fluttering sound immediately overhead.
Those annoying crows have reappeared at some point. This time, they actually came straight at the ink marks.
It's a devastating scene. Yu Moji was forced to have no choice, and the only way to avoid the crows at this moment seemed to be the only way to get away from the crows in front of him.
She had to take a chance.
