Chapter 184: True or False
Tang Bailing ran until he reached a reed beach, and then stopped.
"Why don't you run away?" Behind him, Mu Zi's voice was like a she-wolf staring at her prey.
Tang Bailing turned around and said, "Make a deal."
"What deal?"
"You let me go, I'll give you what you want."
"You know what I want?"
"Dongsha, Naka, Jinran."
After saying these three names, Mu Zi's pupils suddenly contracted, and sure enough, Tang Bailing could track it down here, he must have known something.
Mu Zi asked, "Who is Jin Lan?"
Tang Bailing smiled: "It seems that I know more than you, my deal, do you want to think about it?"
"Say what you know." Mu Zi seemed interested.
"Mu Zi, these things are boring."
"Tell me."
"Dongsha's sister is called Jin Lan. If you look it up, you must already know something, but I guess...... The truth you know is somewhat skewed. Who killed the family in Dongsha?"
"Naka."
"No," Tang Bailing shook his head, "It was Dongsha who killed him, he killed his entire family, Naka...... Just forced to assist her. And Naka wasn't killed by Dongsha."
"Where's she?"
Tang Bailing raised his eyebrows: "It's already dead, I killed it."
Mu Zi's eyes became gloomy: "Are you looking for death?"
"So, there are some things that only I know."
Mu Zi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, then opened his eyes and said, "I changed my mind, knowing that there is not much point in this, I just want to make some trouble...... Now I don't want to know, I just want you to die."
Tang Bailing sighed in her heart, she overestimated the importance of this matter in Mu Zi's heart, and thought that this matter could save her life. After so many years by this person's side, I still think less after all.
Mu Zi hooked his toes, and a wooden stick more than six feet long was picked up from the ground, and he grabbed it with his hand, and the long stick stabbed Tang Bailing with a shake. Tang Bailing didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly took out his extremely short dagger.
This is an assassination blade, and it is not stained against the enemy head-on.
Tang Bailing dared to say that her assassination skills were ranked best in the entire martial arts, but if she faced the enemy head-on, she couldn't even beat the average mid-rank killer in Xiao Zhuli. As for Mu Zi, although her martial arts are not as good as Jade and Amber, she is almost equal to Zhu Mingyu, and she is not an opponent at all.
The two of them had gone through a total of less than twenty moves, and Tang Bailing's shoulders, thighs, and arms had been swept three or four times by the long stick, if Mu Zi had the spear she often used in her hand, she would probably have died.
Endured the severe pain of being beaten by a wooden stick on his body, and kept thinking about the way to get rid of it.
She left herself a way out, and this way out was Li Fenglan. Since Li Fenglan dared to hand herself a note, it proved that she was paying attention to them somewhere, and with Li Fenglan's character, she would not let herself be killed.
Sure enough, just when Tang Bailing was about to lose his bearings, a break made both of them stop.
"Stop!"
The two looked towards the tidal flat, and saw Tan Wushuang and a woman in green looking at them, and the woman in green was Li Fenglan.
Tan Wushuang was dumbfounded, because there were two Mu Zi standing in front of him.
Li Fenglan crossed her arms to watch the play, the clothes of the two were different, she could tell who was who, but she wasn't sure which one was real.
"What, what's going on? Hey, Li Fenglan! How come there are two Sister Mu??"
Mu Zi smiled slightly, with a playful expression on her face, she asked Tang Bailing, "What now?" What are you going to do? This little fat guy seems to have a good relationship with you, what? Did you get a taste of family affection during this time together? It's a pity, your little family affection is gone, a fake is a fake after all."
Tang Bailing dropped the dagger, she stared at Mu Zi, and said, "You are so pitiful."
"Am I pathetic?"
"You're slaughtering innocent people like crazy, venting
The resentment in his heart gives people a feeling of giving up everything all the time. However, you cherish the identity of 'Flower Moon Shadow' very much, so you never kill people with this identity. Scarface is Scarface, and Mu Zi is Mu Zi. I couldn't figure it out, why are you doing this? This is not what a madman should do...... Now I understand, Mu Zi, you didn't give up everything at all. There is a desire in your heart, you want to wait for the fire in your heart to be extinguished, you can still live as Mu Zi, and you can enjoy the beauty of this world. So, I who live as you must die, and you are afraid that I will smear the 'Flower Moon Shadow, am I right?'
The corners of Mu Zi's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he said coldly, "Even if what you said is true, what?"
Tang Bailing stretched out his two hands into his neckline and peeled off a piece of dough from his body in front of the three people. This dough is not like the simple dough made yesterday, but extends all the way from the forehead to the shoulders and below the collarbone, and the seams are not visible at all.
She hadn't taken off this dough for several days, and the sweat was stuck to the dough, and there was a slight sting when she peeled it off.
As the mask peeled off, an extremely ordinary, woman's face appeared in front of the trio.
Li Fenglan and Tan Wushuang both looked stupid. The difference is that Li Fenglan is amazed by the craftsmanship of the dough, while Tan Wushuang is...... Caught in deep self-doubt.
Tang Bailing turned his head to look at Li Fenglan and Tan Wushuang, smiled dismally, and said, "Wushuang, Miss Li, I'm sorry for lying to you for so long...... I'm not Mu Zi, my name is Tang Bailing, and I'm the killer of Night Feather Xiaozhu...... Of course, it's no longer Nightfeather Kozuki's person. My identity in Nightfeather Kozuki is a stand-in for the Scarface Chief."
Li Fenglan smiled and said, "This ...... Sister Tang, you explained so clearly, do you want us to save you?"
Tang Bailing shook his head: "No, it's not begging you, it's you...... Unparalleled ......"
Tan Wushuang woke up from his doubts, he didn't seem to believe what was in front of him, and asked blankly, "Mu ...... No...... You—You're not Sister Mu? All the while, it has been around us that ...... It's you? No, I've been following you since I came out of the Asaran Valley that day, no!"
Tang Bailing said, "Before entering Luoyang, it was indeed Mu Zi, but after entering Luoyang, the person who followed you was me."
Mu Zi stuck a wooden stick on the soft mudflats and said with a smile, "Interesting...... Little fat man, you are very sincere in your heart, even if you know my identity, you still want to follow me, expecting me to change back into your Sister Mu. Now it's time for you to choose, will you help this fake?"
Before Tan Wushuang could answer, Li Fenglan said first, "Sister Mu, to be honest, I don't have any feelings for you, and deep down I wish you died unexpectedly. If it weren't for the Ninth Master, I would have done it a long time ago. I have no intention of getting involved in the affairs of the two of you, I just want to find out if what you are doing now has anything to do with us. Now I understand, it's okay...... So, I don't care if you live or die. However, I am a person who values love and righteousness, and Tan Fatzi has also grown up with me since he was a child, and his ideas are still very important...... Hey, fatty, I ask you, do you want to keep a good person by your side or a bad person."
Tan Wushuang shook his head vigorously and said to Li Fenglan, "It doesn't have to be someone who dies! It's okay to be alive!"
Li Fenglan said solemnly, "You heard what you said just now, it's not up to me to decide whether to die or not...... Fatty, there is no way to have the best of both worlds, I have to tell you, sometimes, there are many things that cannot be done by man. Our sister Mu ...... There is no cure. Although I don't have a lot of experience, I can see the madness in her eyes. Mu Zi in the idler's hall is a person. If it is the real Mu Zi who follows us during this time, you and I will have enough grass for a donkey to eat a few meals. Forget it, you have been indecisive since childhood, I will help you make this choice."
"No!" Tan Wushuang suddenly said loudly, "No need for you!"
Li Fenglan was a little helpless: "I've already given up the best of both worlds, just take the lighter, don't be too naïve."
Tan Wushuang became extremely determined, and he asked Mu Zi loudly, "Sister Mu, I want to ask you a question!"
Tang Bailing thought he was shouting to himself, and almost responded.
Mu Zi asked, "What do you want to ask?"
"You have to kill the Ninth Master? Do you have to kill those who have nothing to do with it?!" The reason why I asked this was because I remembered the ordinary people in the house, they had nothing to do with this matter, but Mu Zi still killed them all.
Mu Zi felt a little ridiculous: "Long-winded, boring."
"Good!" Tan Wushuang made up his mind, pointed at Tang Bailing and said, "She! We're covered! From today onwards, she is a member of our Idler's Hall! If you touch a hair of her! It's against our idler!"
"Nonsense, when are you idlers, Chaolan Valley, and Changfeng Tower not my enemies?"
"Sister Tang! Come here! Stay away from her."
Tang Bailing didn't move, which surprised Mu Zidu, and she sneered and asked, "What? Guilty? Don't dare stand with them?"
Tang Bailing shook his head and sighed, "Why don't you understand? Mu Zi, the identity of Hua Yueying, you could have recovered at any time...... I was tempted to crave something in you, and thank you for making it clear to me that I can't get those things with you...... Now, the things I crave are at my fingertips, and I can always get them. And you always want to wipe the ink dry, go back to a blank piece of paper, and if anyone sees you writing and scribbling the ink, they will kill that person. The more you kill, the less peace of mind you get, don't you understand?"
Mu Zi didn't speak, and the murderous aura in his eyes was even stronger.
Tang Bailing reached into his arms, took out a wooden box and threw it to Mu Zi.
Mu Zi looked at the wooden box, a little puzzled.
Tang Bailing said, "It's useless to keep the ones I know, just tell you, after all, you are also a poor person. Dongsha likes his sister, and when something happens, in order to save his sister's reputation, he chooses to kill his whole family. Isn't it ridiculous? There is a better solution, but you choose the worst, isn't it very similar to you? I guess, you became the way you are after being tortured by him, you want revenge, I give you this chance, this is my last bit of kindness. There are two masks in the box, one for Naka and one for ...... It's yours. As for how you want to use it, it's up to you."
Mu Zi looked at the wooden box blankly, a little distracted. Even though she was prepared in her heart — she knew it would be an even more boring answer — her heart was still tingling. Like a passing ant being casually pressed to death by a naughty child, innocent and has nowhere to complain.
After saying this, Tang Bailing slowly walked towards Li Fenglan.
Li Fenglan said to Mu Zi, "Sister Mu, I believe you understand the skills of jade and amber, we have something to do in Jiujiang, so don't bother us during this time." As for the fact that you've been to Jiujiang, it seems that you don't really want others to know, right?"
Mu Zi was still in place, as if he hadn't heard anything Li Fenglan say at all.
Li Fenglan shrugged her shoulders and said, "Let's go."
With that, the three of them turned and left.
After walking for more than ten steps, Li Fenglan whispered to Tan Wushuang, "Fatty, turn your head to see if she has caught up."
Fat Tan turned his head, Li Fenglan slapped him, and said eagerly, "Turn your head slightly! Don't let her see you!"
"No, I didn't chase it."
After walking for more than ten steps, Li Fenglan asked again, "Did you catch up?"
"No, I don't."
"Run!"
Li Fenglan gave an order, and the three of them ran wildly, running straight out of the village before the three stopped.
Originally, the distance was not too far, but Li Fenglan ran too fast, and the two of them were tired and out of breath in order to catch up with her.
Tan Wushuang asked, "No...... What are you running?"
Li Fenglan explained, "The jade and amber are not here."
Tan Wushuang asked again, "Then who are you coming with?" Twilight?"
"Ugh...... Twilight isn't there, either."
"No, you're coming alone?"
"Yes."
"You're getting fatter."
Li Fenglan quibbled: "I came here to be right
Something."
Tang Bailing gave Li Fenglan a deep salute and said, "Thank you Miss Li for rescuing."
Li Fenglan only had time to take a closer look at Tang Bailing at this time.
She looks very ordinary, has no characteristics, is not good-looking, but she is not ugly, and anyone who sees her at first glance will think in their hearts: this is a woman. At second glance, I forgot who she was. It's too ordinary, the kind of ordinary that can't be found in the pile.
Li Fenglan said, "Sister Tang doesn't have to be polite."
Tang Bailing said, "I think Miss Li should have a question for me."
Li Fenglan replied, "Yes, there are a lot of questions. But this is not the place to ask questions, you can answer me a question now."
"Excuse me."
"Will you be detrimental to the idlers in the future?"
"No, it won't."
"Okay, I trust you...... Follow me."
