Chapter 168 - Waking Up from a Dream (Part II)
Seeing Chi Muyan walk out of the room with that terrifying expression, Chu Bai finally recovered from the shock and breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Cang Lan, who was also full of anger, with some fear, and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
"What!Nightmare Soul Technique?" Yuejian, who had just walked into Chi Mudie's room, happened to hear Chu Bai's question, and also let out a low cry of surprise, and then saw that Cang Lan, who was walking towards him, also had the same black face as Chi Muyan who had just gone out, so he didn't dare to say anything and hurriedly turned sideways to let him out of the room, but Chu Bai, who didn't know why, shouted at him behind him: "Eh! Didn't Chi Muyan say that he went to catch Sha Xiaoya? Where are you going? I just healed the wound on your hand, and the wound on your body hasn't been healed yet!"
"It's fine, I'll recover on my own later, I'll go to the backyard first and look for any other missing clues." Cang Lan paused for a moment, replied simply, and walked out without looking back, Chu Bai still stood in place without knowing why and blinked, and Yuejian stepped forward and said to him lightly: "No wonder they both blew up, it turned out that it involved the Nightmare Soul Technique, but how could this little boy who has always been mediocre use such an ancient forbidden technique?"
Chu Bai looked at Yuejian with an innocent face, and asked her in a low voice, "Can you tell me first, what is this Nightmare Soul Technique?"
"You don't know?" Yuejian first looked at Chu Bai with a surprised face, and then glanced at Chi Mudie, who was sitting on the bed alone, and threw a memory ball to Chu Bai, "I don't have time to give you popular science now, you can go out and watch it yourself, and then go and talk to the president after reading it." ”
Yuejian said, pointing at him with his eyes at Chi Mudie on the bed, and motioned for him to exit the room first. Chubai also understood what she meant, took the memory ball and nodded lightly before exiting the room, and closed the door again, leaving only Tsukimi and Chi Mudie in the room.
"Sister Yuejian, do you know my identity too?" After a moment of silence, Chi Mudie finally spoke softly.
Yuejian had already expected her to ask this question, so he no longer concealed it and smiled at her lightly: "I know, so in the year I took you, I was very stressed!"
"That'...... Do you think I'm a trouble?" Hearing Yuejian's refreshing answer, Chi Mudie was slightly startled at first, and then her eyes dimmed again, and she lowered her head and asked lightly.
Seeing Chi Mudie's appearance like this, Yue Jian understood a rough idea, since this matter involved Sha Xiaojiao, it must have been something she said that shook the child's heart. So Yuejian simply got up and sat down beside her with a smile, and told her about the past, "Not at all, when I first saw you, I really liked you! At that time, the chairman and Hatsubai suddenly took you away overnight, and I regretted it for a while, how could I be such a talented little apprentice by them suddenly robbed him! Although I hadn't seen you before you came to Taoyuan Village, I often heard Chi Muyan talk about you with pride on his face, and he often ...... at that time."

At the same time as Yuejian comforted Chi Mudie, Cang Lan, who came to the place of the incident on the other side, first searched the entire backyard carefully, but did not find any traces of spell transmission, and then re-transformed into a huge blue wolf in doubt, trying to rely on her sensitive sense of smell to find the traces left by Sha Xiaoyan, but still found nothing.
When Canglan was puzzled, Chu Bai, who was kicked out of the room by Tsukimi, after reading the popular science memory she gave, first went to explain the details to the president and others, and everyone sighed after listening to him talk about the Nightmare Soul Technique. Then Chu Bai followed Cang Lan's footsteps to the backyard, at this time it was already dark, Chu Bai just walked into the backyard, and he was faced with a pair of huge beast pupils that flashed with cold light, and was so frightened that he took a step back and blurted out exclaim.
"Wow! I'm scared to death! Canglan, what are you doing here?"
"Fluttershy said that Sand Little Girl appeared here last night, but strangely enough, there is no trace of the teleportation array nearby, and there is no smell of her, even if she colludes with the Dark Guild and uses the teleportation array of black stone to come over, she should leave some smell more or less......" Canglan saw Hatsubai coming, returned to her human form, frowned and explained to him briefly, and then fell into silent thought.
"No, the Dark Guild has nothing to do with her at all, and the black stone can't be used now, and the chairman and Tsukimi within a hundred miles around here have searched carefully last night, and they haven't found anything. ”
Chu Bai replied calmly, but Cang Lan suddenly looked at him with a questioning gaze, and the tone of the question also increased a little guarded, "How can you know so clearly about the Dark Guild? Also, how do you know that the black stone is no longer usable?"
Seeing that Cang Lan immediately became hostile to him, Chu Bai had no choice but to hand the anti-dragon token in front of him and explain to him: "Don't look at me with such terrible eyes, I was also dragged into the water by the irresponsible old man of my family, and now these two old men have joined forces in secret, ready to find out the big man who has been hiding behind Wu Ma Xi and Yin Mo and secretly commanding." Ni Tianhu also specially forced Wu Ma Xi to teach me the method of using the black stone to open the teleportation array, but last time it was as you can see, so there is no black stone on me now. ”
After Chu Bai finished speaking, he innocently stretched out his hands to Cang Lan, but Cang Lan continued to ask suspiciously: "The first few times you and the president had disputes in the War Dragon's Fang, were just acting?
Chu Bai sighed helplessly: "Alas, how do I know, it's not the old man's arrangement." But this thing is really strange, and it involves such an ancient forbidden art...... Well...... By the way, you can take a black stone and try it for me first, and see if the black stone has returned to its effect. ”
After listening to Chu Bai's explanation, Cang Lan nodded after a little thought, took out a black stone and handed it to him, but saw Chu Bai take the black stone in his hand and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Looking at your vigilant expression just now, I thought you were going to be suspicious for a while! Why did you give it to me so quickly?"
Cang Lan shook her head at him a little weakly and smiled bitterly, "If even you and Chi Muyan are not normal in this world, will there be any normal people?"
Chu Bai tossed with the black stone, and lowered his head to Cang Lan and continued: "Yes." But I'm a little worried now, will Chi Muyan go to Sha Xiaoliang in such a rage to kill her?"
"No, it won't. Cang Lan's firm answer aroused Chu Bai's surprised gaze, but seeing that he also showed the same sneer as Chi Muyan, the hairs on Chu Bai's whole body stood up, "I think Chi Muyan will only make her life worse than death." ”
--
Chi Mudie, who had been talking with Tsukimi for a long time, finally recovered from that sad mood, although the injury on her back had healed, but she still felt a faint throbbing pain there, and Tsukimi on the side also noticed her abnormality and helped her change into clean clothes, and Chi Mudie also asked softly at this time: "Sister Tsukimi, have you seen the bird mark on my body? Where is it?"
Yuejian saw that the hand that was dressing Chi Mudie paused slightly, and then pulled her to the big mirror in the room with a smile, and took the small mirror she put at the head of the bed, gently opened the clothes under the back of her neck, and then asked her to turn sideways slightly, and used the small mirror in her hand to shine the mark on her back, and then reflected it into the big mirror in front of her for her to watch.
"Look, it's here, and the first time I saw it, I thought it was a beautiful mark, like a piece of jewelry that belongs only to you. ”
"But why did it appear in such a position that I couldn't see? If I had seen it earlier, if I had known about it earlier, I wouldn't have ......."
Looking at Ji Mudie's eyes, which gradually dimmed from the initial astonishing sparkle, Tsukimi smiled gently again and put down the small mirror in his hand, held her hand and said seriously: "Fluttershy, do you know? In my opinion, this Asuka Seal is just trying to protect you like those of us who love you. And it doesn't just represent an emotional entanglement with someone, it's an important responsibility that you have to bear. In fact, when you were nine years old, when Canglan learned from the white-clothed god that you were a flying bird, we all thought that he would be the first to tell you, and would always want to keep you by his side, but it wasn't until ten days ago that you said to him in the Dragon's Fang, 'You haven't found your flying bird yet, but you must not miss anything.' Before that, he had been objecting to us telling you this fact. Although we have been asking him why he did this, he just said lightly every time, not wanting you to carry too much pressure, but he himself often disregards his identity and turns into the little blue in your mouth, quietly accompanying you. ”
When Yuejian said this, he suddenly smiled playfully and continued to Chi Mudie: "I didn't know that Xiaolan was him at first, and I have been wondering where he found this little wolf that you rescued when he was a child, and trained it to be so understanding, and then after listening to Chubai tell me, I was really shocked! I finally understood why that blue wolf sometimes showed some very strange expressions. Just like every time you see him and happily hug his huge head, he will be very happy, when you snuggle up to him at night and sleep sweetly, he will also be full of happiness, when every time he separates from you, his eyes will be full of reluctance, and when he sees you and Guihai when he is together with love, he will also squat alone and hang his head down. ”
Looking at Chi Mudie, who kept dripping tears between her words, Yuejian took her into her arms with some distress, and Chi Mudie also cried loudly like a child in her arms for the first time, releasing all the complex and chaotic emotions that had accumulated in her heart.
Although Yuejian patted her back lightly and quietly, looking at the bird mark on Chi Mudie's back in the mirror, it was much shallower than the last time she saw it in the Endless Abyss, but there was a faint uneasy doubt in her heart, I don't know if this just symbolizes that Chi Mudie is weak now, or if there is some deeper conspiracy waiting for her.
After a long conversation with Tsukimi, and a vent in her arms, the feeling of depression that had been accumulating in Chi Mudie's chest was finally relieved, and just when she was crying a little, she suddenly heard something, suddenly bounced out of Tsukimi's arms, wiped away the tears that were still hanging in the corners of her eyes, and rushed out of the room with murderous eyes.
"Sand boy!"
