Volume 2 Illusory Flowers in the World Chapter 55 Just ordinary
In the dark stone room of the underground palace, only a few dim oil lamps were lit, and Shuoyue sat on the ground against a newly made sarcophagus.
She spent a day and a night building the sarcophagus with her own hands, and her hands were covered in blood blisters, but she didn't even notice it.
Quietly sat with the woman in the sarcophagus for a while, she stood up and wiped the wetness from the corners of her eyes, held the coffin lid and looked at her master carefully.
The woman seemed to be asleep, her face was still vivid, and her eyebrows and eyes were gratuitously gentle.
Shuoyue said solemnly with red eyes: "Master, wait for me." β
When she came back, she wouldn't go anywhere, just accompany the master in the Phantom Flower Palace.
She closed the sarcophagus and kowtowed three times reverently.
Out of the Phantom Flower Palace, ride the horse to the east.
After two or three days of non-stop driving, she rushed to Qingcheng.
Among the martial arts families, there is only Qingcheng with the surname Rong, and Qingyu Town is also a small town under the jurisdiction of Qingcheng.
Rong Xun's identity is not difficult to guess.
It didn't take much effort for her to find Qingcheng Villa.
Taking advantage of the night, Shuoyue quietly dived directly into the majestic and magnificent mountain villa.
Like a nimble cat, she walked silently against the ridge of the roof, avoiding the passing night watchmen and silently scurrying over their heads.
Although the person she was looking for didn't know where it was, and the mountain was terrifying, she had enough patience to find it.
As she passed a side courtyard, she crouched on the roof and heard two people in the room talking softly.
"Child, send this bowl of medicine to your father. β
As soon as I heard it, I knew that the owner of this voice was a gentle woman, like a spring rain falling.
I didn't see another person answer for a long time.
The woman sighed again and whispered, "Pian'er, don't blame your father, he can't help it. β
The girl finally spoke, but her tone was full of resentment, a childish child's voice.
"So he can do that to you?...... Auntie, shall we go back to grandma......'s house?
"Ah......h
"Got it, A-Niang, the child will send it. β
The child turned out to be a sick man, and he coughed badly after saying two or three sentences. So why do you want this child to deliver medicine? Is this lady suffering from a leg disease?
Shuoyue wanted the cat to bend down to take a look, but the child had already pushed open the door of the hall and walked out with a small food box, and the other hand carried a hazy paper lantern.
He put the paper lantern on the ground and carefully closed the door of the outer hall, then picked up the paper lantern again and walked to the side of the corridor, the small figure seemed to be blown away by the night wind at any time in the dim firelight.
Shuoyue quietly followed again, and if her guess was correct, she should be able to meet the person she was looking for by following him.
The boy walked around the winding corridor for a long time, and stopped as he walked, and Shuoyue didn't know what he was going to do, and didn't go any further, squatting silently on the railing of the corridor some distance from him, like a black cat that melted into the night.
The night was silent, and the boy turned his head to look at him, which startled the new moon.
The child actually found out that someone was following, she had already hidden all the aura around her, and no one noticed her along the way, this child was a little interesting.
Shuoyue didn't dodge, she met his gaze directly, anyway, if he called someone, she would kill him immediately.
Only then did she see clearly that the child was extraordinarily beautiful, and that his eyes alone were stunningly beautiful, like a unique gem in the world, which was unforgettable.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment, and the child coughed twice, his voice so soft that it almost drifted into the night.
"Are you a bad person?"
Shuoyue nodded calmly, "Well, I am." β
"You're going to kill my father?"
"Yes. β
"Good. β
Hearing this, Shuoyue was a little surprised, what strange reaction did this child have?
It's kind of interesting.
Shuoyue showed a little smile on her face, and the small cinnabar mole at the end of her eyes seemed to be absent in the night, and it became evil for no reason.
Shuoyue's figure moved, and suddenly stood in front of the child, the light of the paper lantern shook slightly, but the child was not frightened, and looked at him quietly.
She leaned back casually and sat on the railing with her legs dangling.
"Actually, I'm here to kill your whole family. Including you. β
Shuoyue stretched out her hand and poked his forehead, which was as smooth as white jade, and her tone was very serious, with a little smile, which made people shudder even more.
"Well, if you want to, then you can take it, their lives are too, but can you let me go. β
Shuoyue originally had the idea of slaughtering the Rong family, but she dispelled it herself, she has always only done things based on likes and dislikes, and she felt that it was boring to do so. Just now, she just wanted to scare the child, but she heard him answer so seriously, which was beyond her expectations.
Shuoyue reached out and grabbed the food box in his hand and put it aside, his fingertips probed his lifeline, and he didn't struggle.
She is not good at medical skills, but she has learned a little bit after staying in the pharmacy with Forget Worry for almost two years.
"Natural?" said Shuoyue with a smile as he let go of his wrist and smiled. β
The kid nodded indifferently and whispered, "I know." β
"Poof...... You're a very interesting kid, so let's keep your life for now. Coincidentally, I may be dying if I am poisoned, so you are not allowed to die first. β
"You ......"
She jumped off the railing and picked up the food box, "Although this is a bit excessive, can you lead the way?"
The boy shook his head, tugged at his robe, and whispered, "Let's go." β
The children walked side by side with her in the corridor with paper lanterns, and the night breeze blew the corners of their clothes.
Shuoyue turned her head to look at him a little uncomfortable, and after a moment of silence, she said, "My name is Shuoyue, you are welcome to seek revenge from me at any time." β
Shuoyue stood outside the courtyard and looked up at the small building in the courtyard that was hazy and gorgeous in the night, bowed her head and said to the child, "That's it, you go back first." β
She really couldn't let such a young child watch her kill people, it was his father who killed her, and she couldn't bear it after all, and that just sounded ironic.
He tilted his face and asked, "Will the killer still be afraid?"
Shuoyue looked at him and didn't speak.
"Got it, I'll go back now, and I'll tell A-Niang that he has already drunk the medicine. His gaze seemed to melt into the night, but he looked back at her gaze firmly.
"Because, too, I want him to die. β
He turned around and walked slowly back into the darkness with the paper lantern in his hand.
Shuoyue sighed and quietly entered the courtyard.
There was a light on in the room, but it was quiet, and she pushed the door open and walked in.
Rong Xun fell asleep on the edge of the table with a smell of alcohol, with a few wine jugs lying crookedly in his hand, and even the saber was casually put aside.
Shuoyue didn't call him, put the medicine box in his hand on the table, sat down on the stool opposite, picked up a clean cup and poured himself a glass of wine.
The night wind outside the window was strong, and after a while, the rain began to fall, ticking on the window.
Rong Xun was woken up by the sound of rain, and after being drunk, he only felt a splitting headache, and woke up with a frown, sat up straight, but immediately jumped up from the stool in a panic, took a few steps back and turned over the footstool.
"New Year, New Moon ......"
"Ah, it's me, long time no see. β
Shuoyue sat at the table with her chin propped up, playing with a wine glass in her hand, swaying but never spilling a drop of wine. As usual, she looked at him with a smile, but Rong Xun only felt a chill rise from the bottom of her heart.
Shuoyue pushed the medicine in hand, "Are you sick?" β
"This food box is ...... Where did you get that?" his eyes widened a little, and he thought of a lot of bad guesses, "...... You, what did you do with them?"
Shuoyue covered her lips and smiled, and the small mole in the corner of her eye became more and more beautiful.
"Of course, kill it. β
She put down her glass and stood up, walking slowly towards Rong Xun, her unhurried tone as if she was discussing a trivial matter of insignificance.
"Oh, by the way, there's a pretty boy in there, tsk, but it's a pity that those eyes are really as beautiful as jade. β
Rong Xun looked at Shuoyue with a surprised expression, but his finger pointed at her but he kept trembling, "You!"
Shuoyue lowered her head and laughed again, and when she raised her head again, the smile on her face was no longer warm, which made people shudder.
"Don't you like that? other people's lives are worthless in your eyes, aren't they? β
Hearing the solemnity in her tone, Rong Xun unconsciously took a step back, his hand involuntarily touched the saber on his waist, but it was empty, his eyes trembled nervously, and his saber was placed on the table next to Shuoyue.
Shuoyue followed his gaze, reached out and picked up his saber, and shook it in front of his eyes.
"Looking for this?"
Rong Xun looked at her and didn't speak.
Shuoyue threw the sword to him casually.
"Rong Xun, I'll give you a chance, either knock me down, or I'll kill you. β
Rong Xun took the sword, looking at her and didn't know what expression to use. In the almost two years that he had been in contact with Shuoyue, he had always been sure that he had seen through Shuoyue, but now he realized that he was wrong, Shuoyue had never seriously revealed her killing intent to him, even in the Phantom Flower Palace, but now this terrifying killing intent instantly choked his throat.
Shuoyue didn't wait for him to think about it, and began to attack frantically, Rong Xun had to draw his sword to resist, but he found that no matter how much he resisted, it was only in vain, Shuoyue saw his weakness, and almost beat him so that he had no room to fight back, and there were countless small wounds on his body.
It's too strong......
Is this the real New Moon?
The stinging pain all over his body was already a little unbearable, but Shuoyue didn't stop.
In a trance, he seemed to hear Shuoyue say: "Everyone is good, why her." β
Why did she die?
It seemed that the wind and rain outside the window were too strong, and there were cool water vapor dripping on Rong Xun's face.
With one swollen eye, he watched as the dagger he had used to scratch and kill Master Shuoyue danced nimbly at Shuoyue's fingertips, flashing with a cold cold light.
He's going to die!
How could he die like this!
Oh, there's still a chance to survive!
Rong Xun struggled to retreat, trying to stop the murderous New Moon.
"Shuoyue, don't forget, I said you were poisoned! If you don't have an antidote, you'll die! If you kill me, don't think about getting the antidote!"
Shuoyue looked at him unmoved, and her tone was cold and chilling.
"Ha, are you threatening me?"
Without a trace of hesitation, Shuoyue stabbed the dagger directly into Rong Xun's heart, it was her master's body, exactly the same position, even the depth was exactly the same.
He fell to the ground with the dagger in his chest, gritting his teeth and holding back, but still screaming in pain.
Shuoyue slowly crouched beside him and watched him.
"I seem to have told you that I hate being threatened the most. What if I am poisoned? In this world, only I can decide whether I live or die, and there is absolutely no reason for others to let me die. β
Rong Xun couldn't answer, covering his heart, panting in pain.
She was really unwilling, she knew that she was poisoned, why was she still like this? She was not afraid of death at all! She was a madman! Such a threat was as sarcastic as a joke.
He couldn't let her get her way.
"Ahem, New Moon, do you know who gave me that poison?"
Shuoyue's eyes widened and she stood up unconsciously.
Subconsciously, she retorted, "Impossible. β
The malice that had grown in Rong Xun's heart seemed to have found an outlet for catharsis, and he laughed more and more viciously: "Impossible?
Or do you not want to admit it? Then you say, where did you forget your worries that day?"
Shuoyue still shook her head, "...... I don't believe it. β
"Ahem, it's stupid, poison is forgetful! haha...... It's a forgetful ......."
With a satisfied and vicious smile, Rong Xun stopped breathing.
Shuoyue stood in place with her head bowed, like an abandoned child.
Forget your worries......
It was the poison that Forget Worry gave to Rong Xun to kill her!
Haha, Forget Worry followed her to the Phantom Flower Palace, and disappeared after that, she still believed that he was not involved in this matter, how could she be so naΓ―ve?
A thick tiredness welled up in her heart, and this world seemed to be nothing more than that, the flowers were still the same, the wind was still the same, the night was still the same, and everything was not as happy as when she first saw it.
She covered her eyes and chuckled, but she felt a warmth in her eyes.
Master, she was really wrong.
When he woke up, he found that he had inexplicably returned to the Moon Forgetting Pharmacy, and he searched the entire pharmacy but did not see Shuoyue, and a bad conjecture surged in his heart.
He pressed the anxiety in his heart, waited outside the door for a day, and after confirming that Shuoyue was not greedy and ran out to play, he hurried to Qingyu Town to find the rich merchant to ask about Rong Xun's whereabouts, but the rich merchant told him that Rong Xun had returned to Qingcheng, but Qingcheng sent a letter to him.
Forget the worry opened and saw all the things that happened after they arrived at the Phantom Flower Palace before, but the handwriting was not Rong Xun, let alone Shuoyue, only a pity word.
But knowing the ins and outs, I couldn't care who wrote the letter, and I rushed to Lake City in a hurry.
The letter ended with only one sentence: New Moon is going to die.
Forget Worry never felt that time was so difficult, he didn't even dare to think about how long it had been, he just hurried numbly, and kept hurrying.
How could she die!
Shuoyue, how dare she leave him like this!
Forget to worry and keep knocking on the door outside the Phantom Flower Palace, and after waiting for a day, the palace door finally opened.
Shuoyue stood in the shadows and looked at him, her face unusually pale and her eyes swollen.
Forget about her worries but don't care about anything else, and reach out to probe her pulse.
Sensing that there was something wrong with the pulse, his face sank, and he asked anxiously, "What's wrong with you girl? I have only been away for a long time before I was poisoned! Do you know how ...... I am? I'll help you get rid of it!"
Shuoyue looked at him with a anxious face, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable, so she had to withdraw her hand, and she couldn't maintain her smile on weekdays, and said with a stiff face: "Why do you want to ask knowingly." β
"What do you knowingly ask?"
"Rong Xun told me everything, didn't you give me the poison?
Forget the worries and be stunned, when did he poison Shuoyue, what is this?
"What are you talking ......about?
"Enough! I don't want to see you again...... Get out of here. β
Shuo Yue's heart was like a knife, and she tried her best to finish this sentence, and turned around and entered the stone palace.
Forget was frightened by her sudden anger, and her face froze, and she couldn't help but be a little annoyed.
He was really worried about her, and he ran for two or three days before he arrived here, and she actually said that he was poisoned, and she didn't believe him! She actually thought that he, like Rong Xun, followed her because he coveted the treasures of the Phantom Flower Palace?
He's clearly just because of her!
Forget the worry immediately said no more, watched the stone door of the Phantom Flower Palace close again, and also sulked and went down the mountain by himself, and returned to the Forgotten Moon Medicine Workshop angrily.
He looked at the plaque made by Shuoyue, and thought to himself that the girl must have come back by herself when her anger was gone.
He'll wait for her to come back.
Every time he thought of this, he felt like a knife.
That was the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his life, and when he received the news of Shuoyue's death a few months later, he always remembered that before the stone door closed, Shuoyue glanced at him, and that look he could never forget in his life, desperate and sad.
Why didn't he notice it at that time?
Why didn't he explain more?
Why didn't he hold her?
He let her die so disheartened?
This world seems to be nothing more than that, there is no longer as much because of one person when I first met, this world seems to be everywhere lovely, and everything is alive.
Since then, there is no more Forget the Moon Pharmacy in the world, only a mountain called Forget Worries, a person who escapes the world.
He has lost his most precious person.
The new moon died, just turned twenty.
"My name is Shuoyue. The darkest day of the month night. The first day of the new month is designated as the new moon, and the moon on the new day is called the new moon, which is generally invisible. β
"Why do you call me that? Because the master said that it was the New Moon when he picked me up. This way of naming is really arbitrary, just like the master's own name. β
"What is my master's name? In the middle of April, the little one is full, and the things are so small and full. That's right, my master's name is Xiaoman. Because the day of her birth coincided with the twenty-four solar terms, she was called by this name. Isn't it, as random as my name? β
"I know I'm going to die, but I haven't taken in an apprentice yet. The master will definitely think that I am useless. I picked up a woman who fell at the bottom of the cliff and was dying, her name is Qin Wanqing, a nice name, but I don't like it, so I call her Hua Nai. Master, I also have apprentices!"
"I wanted Hana to keep my grave for fifteen years, and she asked me why. Why? But the master died trying to save me, and she was just thirty-five years old when she died, and I really wanted to live to be thirty-five years old, so that I could give her back the life I owed her. β
"I don't want to owe her. I don't want to owe my master. β
"But I'm dying, and I'm not going to be thirty-five years old. β
"Recently, I always feel that Master Xiaoman keeps chattering in my ear, Ah Yue...... Ah Yue...... I've been calling in my ear, gentle, angry, worried, really noisy, very noisy......"
"I don't think there is any master who is so nagging like Master Xiaoman. β
"I used to think the master was annoying, but now I miss her very much. β
