Twilight Chapter 11: Traces

"The smoke and dust are surging, and the dark clouds cover the sun and the lonely wind.

The trumpets sounded, and the iron and stone sharpened the spears and longbows.

The horses are strong and the golden armor is strong, and the autumn field will be played.

Phi Jian stubbornly went out of battle, and the horse's hooves were messy and roaring.

Thousands of horsemen shot out thousands of arrows, and the sword light and sword shadow were blood red.

The wheels are full of tears, and the blades are piercing the hearts and the snow is melting.

Raise your arms and break the sword, and the bright moon is like water.

The riverside is full of white bones, and the people in the boudoir are dreaming.

Panzi returned to relieve his armor, and then talked about agriculture and mulberry Xi.

Life and death are impermanent, and yin and yang are strange at night. ”

"This song...... It's so sad. Zhuyun carefully tasted the tune and lyrics, and couldn't help sighing, "Indeed, it's been five years, and they haven't heard anything at all, and I don't know what happened." ”

"They're going to be fine, it's just a little delayed. Ziying looked ahead as she spoke, "The source of the sound is in front, let's go and take a look." ”

There is a small pavilion behind the cemetery, the location is relatively remote, few people go, but the environment is quiet, the scenery is excellent, it is a good place to relax and relax.

Mo Chen stood on the top of the pavilion, holding a flute and playing gently.

The morning sun climbs up the hillside and is the first to illuminate the land. Golden light burst out of the silent night, gradually awakening the lost homeland.

Beside Mo Chen, there was also a woman standing, dressed in a black gauze skirt, with her hair scattered, closing her eyes, listening to the melody of the flute, and singing softly.

Zhu Ziying and the others stopped at the side, unable to bear to disturb them. Zhuyun unfolded the fan, shook it gently, and slowly hummed in his mouth.

Suddenly, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly, and the wonderful artistic conception was instantly banned, and the two listeners couldn't help but be stunned.

Mo Chen immediately turned around, jumped down, quicksand surged up on his right hand, and quickly flew towards the woods behind Zhuyun, and suddenly, there was a dull sound from the collision in the forest.

At this time, Zhuyun nodded lightly, the white fan in his hand shook slightly, and a blue thunderbolt power fell off and escaped into the ground, and in an instant, only a miserable howl was heard, and then there was no noise in the forest.

The quicksand that had flown into the forest before slowly lifted a corpse out and placed it in front of everyone.

The corpse was stiff, but its face was still hideous, and there was still a hint of chill on its body.

"Gray-haired, thin, pale...... Is it another one?" Zhuyun looked at it secretly, but soon faced Mo Chen and them again, and said, "I haven't seen you in the past few years, and Miss Mo Chen's martial arts have grown a lot." ”

"Don't dare, can you take the help of Zhu Er Gongzi?" Mo Chen replied with a smile. In the past few years, all the big and small affairs of the Mo family have been handled by her, and this free and easy girl has slowly become the number one in the family, and she has become very stable at this age, and she no longer shouts and screams like she used to.

"...... this?" Zhuyun smiled, then shifted his gaze to the girl beside Mo Chen. The girl in front of her seemed to be a little restrained, she stood behind Mo Chen, there was not much expression on her face, but her whole body exuded a cold aura, which made people feel that it was difficult to get close.

"She is Li Feng, who is relatively quiet and doesn't like to talk much. Mo Chen said, "However, her singing voice is very good, I guess you heard it just now." ”

She turned her gaze to Ziying and added, "By the way, Ziying, she's the same age as you, but according to the month, you are July, she is November, you should still be a sister." ”

Ziying smiled knowingly, stretched out her hand to Li Feng, and said, "Hello, I'm Zhu Ziying, please advise." ”

Li Feng hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to hold her hand.

"This song sounds a little sad, why did it have to be written like this?" Ziying asked.

"It's a mourning song, called 'Dust'. Li Feng replied, bowing his head slightly, "It is used to pay tribute to the fallen soldiers." ”

At this moment, everyone remained silent and did not speak again. They quietly looked at the surrounding scenery, and there was a hint of sadness in their eyes.

"Life and death are impermanent, and yin and yang are strange at night. Zhuyun read this sentence and sighed, "Yes, life and death are impermanent, but I believe they will come back." ”

He smiled confidently, walked to the pavilion, looked at the rising sun, gently shook his fan, and said, "You see, the day is dawn, and the beautiful day has begun again. ”

"Yes, the sun is out, don't forget that a few days are an important day. Mo Chen stood beside Zhuyun and looked at the bright light on the mountain.

"What day?" asked Zhuyun.

"The coming-of-age ceremony, it's about to be held, so I need to take care of it. Mo Chen stretched, "But, what should that guy do?" she asked, glancing at the corpse on the ground.

"Bring it to the elders, in the past five years, these puppet-like guys haven't stopped, and I don't know what to do with them, Speaker. ”

"Let's go. Mo Chen said.

Everyone left slowly, Li Feng walked at the back, she looked at the palm, where she shook hands with Zhu Ziying, there were faint yellow traces, she smelled it, it was actually the smell of rust.

"That's... Miss Zhu Ziying, where have you been just now?" she asked, holding Zhu Ziying.

"Central District and the cemetery, what's wrong?"

"No... It's nothing..."Li Feng frowned slightly.

Seeing that she didn't say much, Zhu Ziying didn't ask any more.

Li Zhirong leaned on the railing of the corridor of the book city, looking at the scenery around the distance, but there was a mess of lines in his mind, as if something deliberately disturbed his train of thought.

Murong Jue walked up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and asked, "What's the matter, what's the sigh?" In the past five years, although Murong Jue has grown a little, he is still as big and reckless as before.

"It's going to be five years. Li Zhirong looked at Murong Jue, "Brother Yu, they ......."

"Don't worry, they will definitely come back," Murong Jue interrupted Li Zhirong, "When Brother Yu comes back, I will settle accounts with him!" He said that he would come to my coming-of-age ceremony, but ......" He slowly clenched his fists.

"Alas......" Li Zhirong still had a calm face.

"Don't think about it, it'll be fine. Murong Jue turned around, "It's about to be a coming-of-age ceremony, dress handsomely, maybe there is a little sister who secretly agrees." When the time comes, if Brother Yu and the others come back and see your sad face, it won't look good. ”

"Less. Li Zhirong pushed him, and then became serious again, "Ziwei, how is his injury?"

"It's almost good, those white-haired guys, like ghosts, are really hateful, day by day they know that they are hiding in the shadows, and they have the ability to come out and compete in the open!"

"It's only been ten days since the beginning of the month, and it's already the fourth. These creatures are mostly found at night, and depending on where they move, they are at first on the edge or in the middle of nowhere, but now they are gradually haunting the central region, and their targets have begun to change from ordinary families to elders. ”

"Their activities may seem chaotic, but behind them there seems to be a hand at work. I don't know when, Song Ziwei appeared behind them, his face was better than before, a little more bloody.

"Can you go?" Seeing Song Ziwei, Murong Jue was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Don't you rest more?"

"Your injury," Li Zhirong asked. That night, he was besieged by several white-haired puppets, and was able to break the siege thanks to Song Ziwei, who was also seriously injured as a result.

"It's not important, it's you, be careful in the future, you're going to be an adult soon, and you're still so careless. Song Ziwei waved his hand and asked him not to blame himself, "Now those guys are uncertain and elusive, and the patriarchs of various families have nothing to do with them, the only thing they can do is to strengthen the investigation and properly implement the curfew until the problem is solved." ”

"Can you only sit back and wait, I really want to take the initiative to take the initiative and serve them in one pot!" Murong Jue couldn't bear it anymore and said.

"Now that the enemy is in the dark, I can't fight back at all, unless..."

"Do you want to wait for the rabbit?" asked Murong Jue.

Song Ziwei nodded and said, "Yes, wait for the rabbits, and then quietly follow them, follow the vine, and find the culprit." ”

"But the speaker and the patriarchs have already tried, not only have the culprits not been found, but those team members have never appeared again. Li Zhirong said.

"Don't you want to know?"

"Yes, of course I do, but ......," Li Zhirong replied hesitantly.

"Don't do it, that's what I mean, do you want to be together?" Murong Jue pulled him over and motioned towards Song Ziwei.

Song Ziwei nodded, but he was still worried. "Ah Jue, this matter is very dangerous, we have to plan it well, after all, people who are more powerful than us have been planted in it, so it is better to be careful. ”

Li Feng searched in the central area, trying to find the source of the rust in his hand.

After all, the Li family is a cast iron family, and they mainly make bombs, so naturally they have to deal with metal. As a young lady of the Li family, she is very familiar with all kinds of iron tools, but she is not very familiar with this kind of traces. Thinking back to her family's past life and her current experience in "hidden", she has never found any memory of the metal.

As she kept staring at the rust, she could faintly see the black glow coming from the rust.

"Black light, rust smell?" Li Feng's heart trembled, thoughtfully, she began to deduce, thinking, this should be ordinary rust, but it seems that it has been soaked in something, causing it to change.

"In the Central District and the cemetery?" Li Feng sat on a chair in the Central District and began to slowly observe the place. She glanced at the houses, the pools, and even the surrounding benches, but shook her head, which clearly didn't have what she was looking for. Then, she shifted her gaze to the statue of the Bright Bird in the middle.

Slowly, as if remembering something, she jerked up and ran towards it.

Li Feng put his hand on the bottom of the statue and touched it, it had just rained yesterday, and there was still some water at the foot of the statue. She looked at the faint marks on her hands, and the doubts in her heart eased a little, but after thinking about it carefully, she became nervous, this statue is carved from stone, how can there be traces of metal?

The statue of the Chongming Bird was carved from the sacred stone produced by the black dust, and the statue in front of him was only made of iron. The statue is 1,000 years old, and every time parents talk about the origin of the stone statue, they will talk about the battle between Chongming Bird and Guhou Bird, and repeatedly emphasize the sacred stone. If not, the statue is supposed to be fake, so where did it really go? If so, why did other families mention the story of the stone statue, and the content is exactly the same?

At this point, she prefers to believe that she has misremembered.

Li Feng raised his feet and was about to climb up to find out, when suddenly, a roar came from behind him: "What are you doing?"

Li Feng's body shook, his feet slipped, and he fell heavily to the ground. She hurriedly got up, turned her face sideways and looked at the other party with her peripheral vision, it was Elder Zhang Yongliang.

"Uh... I have... Stuff... Dropped on it... I want to pick it up..."

"What is it?" Zhang Yongliang saw her hesitantly answer, obviously not convinced, so he continued to ask.

"Sister--sister--" Behind the statue, Li Zhirong ran out of breath, "I found the shuttlecock, it didn't fall on the statue." When he ran out, he saw Zhang Yongliang's angry face, stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly went to help Li Feng, "Zhang... Sheet... Elder... We... Kicking the shuttlecock... I accidentally kicked it high, I thought I couldn't find it, but..."

"Pay attention next time, the statue of the Chongming Bird is not something you climbed at random, you know?!" Zhang Yongliang glared at them fiercely, and scolded angrily.

"Yes, yes, we know, we won't bother you next time. After speaking, Li Zhirong pulled Li Feng and ran away.

They stopped when they ran to the alley, Li Zhirong clutched his chest and asked breathlessly: "Sister, what are you doing there if it's okay, that Elder Zhang is famous for his stinky temper, don't mess with him." ”

Li Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Of course it makes sense for me to do this, but, Zhirong, you have to be careful during this time, the black dust has become more and more uneven recently, and I have a hunch that something bad will happen soon." ”

"I know that those white-haired people who look like puppets make people panic in the black dust, and they should go out less at night. ”

"No, not only that, but..."Li Feng wanted to continue, but she glanced at the position of the statue and swallowed all the words that had been prepared, "Also, you are about to participate in the coming-of-age ceremony, there can be no mistakes, you know?!"

"Of course, I'm not a child anymore, I'll be able to be on my own and be an adult soon!"

"It's early, fool. Li Feng's outstretched hand paused for a moment, then put it on Zhirong's shoulder, and a very unnatural smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Probably used to having a straight face, the expression of smiling was a little unfamiliar to her.

Today is the day when she and her brother talk the most.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in his face, Li Feng raised his head and looked at the dark clouds that slowly floated and gathered in the sky, perhaps because of the wind, the dust on the ground shook gently.

She muttered, "Hurricanes are coming......"

"What?" Li Zhirong asked, tilting his head.

"Zhirong, don't run around during this time, otherwise it will be very dangerous..."
