Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 137: Frost and Autumn
After a hasty meal, they agreed to go to the girls' room to talk before going upstairs. Their room was to go upstairs and turn right, which was far away from the mountains and seas. But also, they were far away from the unknown Mr. Zhou.
It was also relatively far away. But in fact, they knew that it was incredible enough to hear the discussion in the store on the street. So as long as they were on the same floor, they doubted that the person could hear it.
But it doesn't matter - it's better for him to hear it. Only in this way can Shan Hai determine the other party's intentions.
"I don't know when you became so radical!" Mu Wan lowered his voice and shouted angrily, "Did He Wu abandon his studies? This is his style!"
The volume of Shan Hai is quite normal.
"If he is still there, we can see it at a glance, and there is no need for us to discuss it here."
Mu Wan knew he was bored and shut up. As they walked upstairs, Dai Luan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something.
"I think he looks like a princess."
"...What nonsense are you talking about? What princess?" Mu Wan reacted for a moment before waking up the name from his memory, "Oh, are you talking about the princess of Biliyuan? You girl, how can you say anything about a man?
They look like women. Their faces are completely different. Why do you suddenly think of her?"
Their impression of the prairie was not that deep. They only remembered the tragic past of the princess and the loyal guard who could not let her go but was still kept in the dark.
Lin Shanhai suddenly frowned, but said nothing. They came to the door of the girls' room, and Dai Luan couldn't help but sigh:
"No one has come to our room for a long time."
She was referring to Miss Qi Qi. They all understood.
But what was unexpected was that just when the door was opened, the "third person" had already appeared in the room.
"Zhou, Mr. Zhou...?" Mu Wan was surprised, but more angry, "With all due respect, do you... have bad eyesight and went to the wrong room?"
"This is a matter of sense of direction. I clearly heard from the waiter that your house is on the left hand side upstairs." Dai Luan agreed.
But when they got closer, they stopped talking.
Zhou Dan just smiled lightly and sat beside the bed, not responding a word or making any movement. However, they all realized that the furry gray part piled on the bed was definitely not a ball of quilt.
It's four fox tails - you don't need to count them to know.
The girls stood at the door warily and did not move forward. On the contrary, Shan Hai entered the house calmly and saluted like an old friend whom he had known for many years.
"I'm sorry for my stupidity. If my apprentice hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have been able to react."
After hearing this, Mu Wan realized that what Dai Luan said when he went upstairs was probably true. She looked over carefully and looked up and down for a long time. Originally, she had almost forgotten what Tartar looked like, but she just
Keeping looking at Zhou Pan's face, she slowly recalled the face of that woman at that time. If she were asked to imagine what Tartar would look like as a man, Mu Wan really couldn't imagine it. But now she only feels that Zhou Pan
What a dish looks like, so what does a prairie princess look like when she turns into a man.
She suddenly stepped forward and pulled Shan Hai back. Shan Hai felt very confused and turned to look at her with confusion on his face. Mu Wan didn't care whether Zhou Pan could hear or not, and shouted directly:
"There's something wrong with this guy! You have to be careful. If he appears here, he might have some bad ideas."
"Oh? If I have any bad ideas, you should tell me." Zhou Pan said with a chuckle. Although his voice was different from that in Biliyuan, the tone was similar. In addition,
They all recognized the four deliberately exposed fox tails. He was the cunning fox Bi Liyuan and the narrator of the touching story.
Mu Wan tried to calm down and recalled what Shi Wuqi had said to her at that time.
"You must tell me truthfully what I ask you." She stared into Zhou Pan's eyes.
"That depends."
"Did you kill the real princess...?"
Shan Hai and Dai Luan looked at her together, their eyes full of surprise. They didn't know why she said that, let alone where this unfounded suspicion came from. Dai Luan tugged on her sleeves and was surprised.
Ask, what did you say?
"Shi Wuqi told me...he learned from the princess's ashes that you killed her yourself."
"Shi Wuqi?" Zhou Pan recalled for a moment, "Ah, yes, it's Master Bai Skeleton. As expected of him, it's quite interesting."
Seeing that he didn't refute, the other two people vaguely felt that something was wrong. In this way, Mu Wan might be telling the truth, and her suspicions were reasonable. What was even more incredible was that it was Shi Wuqi who said it - him
But he didn't tell others. Does this mean that he made the choice to "not disclose it" because telling them would cause trouble to them.
If he thinks it troubles them, then he will definitely trouble him.
"So it was you who did it? You killed her and then made up a story like that in order to win our sympathy so that we could relax our vigilance against you..." Mu Wan continued.
"How to put it? You are right, but not entirely right. Everyone lies for a reason-even if it is to have fun. So let me ask you, what benefits can I get if the story I told is a lie?
.”
"...I don't know." Mu Wan was still wary, "Maybe it's like you said, having fun."
Zhou Pan shook his head.
"I'm not that bored."
"Maybe you are right." Shanhai said suddenly.
Mu Wan was surprised. She didn't know why the mountains and seas were facing him.
"I don't think you've been seduced by the vixen? Do you know what you're talking about?"
"The four-tailed demon fox has great supernatural powers and cannot do anything wrong. It grabbed a nomadic tribe on the grassland and refused to let go. The country is so big that he can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. If he wants to confuse humans, just go to a big city with a lot of people.
Yes; if you want to devote yourself to cultivation, there are many beautiful mountains and rivers that are unknown to everyone. So I guess that when he stayed there, there was something else that tied him down."
What Shan Hai said sounded very reasonable, and even Dai Luan nodded repeatedly. Mu Wan was said to be confused. Although she agreed with Shan Hai's statement, she still instinctively rejected the submission from the monster side. What's more, she still felt that
, Shi Wuqi's vigilance was not unreasonable. But he didn't say much at that time. As for what he really thought, she had no way of knowing now.
"What the Taoist said is right. Even I didn't think of how to say it beautifully. But to be honest, that's what I really mean. Maybe as Onmyoji, you think I'm lying, which is normal. I want to
One thing I admit is - indeed, Miss Liangqiu is right, I killed the real princess."
"Hiss..." Dai Luan took a breath of air. Her mind was still a little confused.
"Fox demons are cunning by nature. It's normal for you to doubt me so much. But don't regret it in a hurry. Since we are so destined and have met all the people in the world, are you interested in hearing my explanation? Of course, it's best not to be interested."
The last sentence aroused the vigilance of Shan Hai. This means that the truth of this matter, its causes, and the motives of what Zhou Pan will do in the future should not be "interested" to them.
"Since you have said so, how can we not listen respectfully? It is rare that you are willing to explain."
Shan Hai turned around and closed the door. The two girls did not speak for the time being. This might be a long story, so he walked to the table and sat down, closer to the bed. Mu Wan and Dai Luan also sat over slowly.
"I killed her with my own hands. I strangled her neck like this -" he gestured. "It was too thin and her pulse was very weak. It was like picking a flower. It fell off with just a pinch."
"you……"
"But didn't Lord Bai Skeleton tell you... that the princess personally asked me to do this?"
The three people had different expressions, but none of them answered.
"That's right. After all, he encountered so few and broken parts. She was seriously injured. Although I comforted her at the time, I did know that she couldn't go back. The one who knew the most was her.
Myself, she begged me to let her not be in such pain. At first... I couldn't listen at all. But I gradually realized that she really couldn't hold on, so I did it. You know, my hands were shaking more than
Her heartbeat is still strong..."
He told everything calmly, as if it was not his own experience. Perhaps too much time had passed and he had learned to accept it. But it was also possible that this was still his lie - Mu Wan couldn't tell. She
She glanced at the mountains and seas, and saw that her face was in the same boat, as calm as before, unable to judge any position or thoughts. This made her even more irritated.
"That's the way it is. It's up to you to believe it or not. But... out of curiosity, I would like to ask, isn't the owner of Baishu, the Master Shi, with you? His breath is very weak on you. You have been separated for a long time.
.”
Not only his sense of hearing, but also his sense of smell was surprisingly good. Shan Hai knew he couldn't hide it from him, so he said it bluntly.
"Yes, we are separated for now."
"For the time being?" He narrowed his eyes, "The return date has not yet been determined?"
"What are you speculating on?" Mu Wan asked.
"When you think I am speculating, it proves that you have indeed tried to hide it... Okay, no kidding. Whatever happens between you has nothing to do with me. But at the same time, I feel... whatever happens to me, you
You shouldn’t ask anything about it.”
"Who wants to ask?" Dai Luan muttered, "Aren't you the one who wants to explain?"
In this exchange of words, Lin Shanhai deduced the information he wanted.
Zhou Pan emphasized it at least twice - he seems to be doing something in the future that will definitely be interfered with by them. This is the last chance. If he doesn't question him face to face now, he may never encounter it again in the future.
"Those businessmen..." Shan Hai looked at him, "Those businessmen who died were all your fault?"
The other two people finally realized how the whole conversation started. They also looked at Zhou Pan, with a slight emotion between trust and distrust in their eyes, waiting for his answer.
"That's natural!" He admitted generously, "Isn't it, as you said, what ties me down?"
He stood up suddenly, his voice rising a little higher. The three of them stood up almost at the same time, feeling a little alert but also a little shocked.
"There's one thing you're hiding from us - you didn't grow up on the grassland. You were trained in real life and are at least over 400 years old now."
Shan Hai showed no fear and even took a step forward.
"Hahahaha... Yes. But so what? As a hundred-year-old monster, I don't think it is shameful to be trapped in the mortal world. I am not a cultivator, so where can I get rid of the seven emotions and six desires? I originally thought
Pretend to be injured and sneak into their camp and eat them all - this can save a lot of practice and is simply the easiest way. But who knew that now I would help their little princess see all the sights of the Central Plains?
.”
As he spoke, he suddenly smiled bitterly. But in the blink of an eye, his tone changed again:
"Human life is indeed too fragile and too short. The mountains are evergreen and the beautiful scenery is always there. First, I can see for her how those people lost their heads, so that I can comfort her spirit in heaven and comfort my mood."
"As expected...so, you think we will stop you."
"Maybe, maybe not. You Jianghu people always have unspeakable feelings for your compatriots - no matter right or wrong. I can tell you - there is only one left. As for whether you want to stop me, it all depends
It’s up to you.”
If he could say it, he must be confident. Shan Hai stood still, lost in thought, as if he was weighing whether it was really necessary to stop him.
When Dai Luan watched him arrive at the door, she suddenly asked.
"If you eat those people, won't you get less evidence and save yourself years of cultivation?"
