Volume 1 Huang Quan in December Chapter 16: The road is long and the road is long
"Who is Mr. Shuangyue?" Mu Wan asked.
"Shuangyue Lord, I only know that he died in November. He was an assassin with unparalleled martial arts skills during his lifetime. But his temperament was really weird. When he was practicing, he became possessed and strayed into the underworld. He unlocked the Demon-Sealing Blade and the relationship between it and the sword.
Their lives were tied together, and they became immortal. So the master also gave him the work of impermanence."
"I have heard of the Demon-Sealing Blade," Aluan answered. "It is said that it is a wakashi made by inhuman things. It is extremely powerful and can repel divine weapons and ghost generals even without taking it out of its sheath."
"Indeed, the Demon-Sealing Blade was forged by Shura, and it carries the power of an admiral out of a million soldiers. Therefore, it is too dangerous and can easily cause trouble, so it was sealed by that lord - but
Shigetsuki-kun has already untied him. He became one with the wakizashi, left it to be passed down among the world, and is very aware of the whereabouts of the wakizashi. Presumably Yingyue-kun just wants to use it to cut off the chains that bind him."
"Such a thing."
Mu Wan was thoughtful. After a long time, she stood up and was about to walk out. Lord Jiyue called her to stop:
"Where are you going, Heroine?"
"Of course I'm going to find Mr. Shuangyue and ask about the whereabouts of the Demon-Sealing Blade - go now."
"My aunt, you are really thinking of everything." Lord Jiyue sighed heavily as if she hated the iron. "Let me ask you, how did you climb those mountains? Don't try to talk to me about anything."
There must be a way to the mountain."
Mu Wan was stunned. It wasn't that she didn't think about it at all, but she just didn't plan to figure it out here. She just thought about it while walking. She also knew that she was a little eager for success. But
"But I can't help it. I'm only one person. If I don't go faster, and then go faster, who knows if I can do it."
Her voice stopped, and Shan Hai could see the grievance that she didn't want to reveal in her words.
"Jintong Township, I'll go with you."
Mu Wan said nothing. She stared at Lin Shanhai, feeling that he was not joking. She weighed the weight of his words seriously and shook her head.
"Taoist Priest, I know that you are well versed in the principles of yin and yang and the five elements, and are an expert in exorcizing demons. But I have also said that our demon-fighting lineage has different concepts from yours, and we may have conflicts one after another when we get along with each other."
"Miss Liangqiu, what you said is wrong." Shan Hai suddenly became serious, "Since you exchanged your life-saving grace for a piece of divination, I should tell you everything. Do you know that the part you haven't heard yet is
What?"
Mu Wan remembered. She was in a bad mood that day. After hearing Taoist Master Lin's hexagram, she was naturally not happy. She interrupted him before he finished speaking and left first. She shook her head and signaled
Shanhai continued.
"Change hexagrams of fire and light, different hexagrams overlap each other, and the lower part is dui and the upper part is Li. Li is fire; dui is water. The upper fire and the lower lake are contrary to each other and do not help each other. Resistance will produce, and there will be no empty space. Everything is different, and there must be something.
Differences lead to mutual contradictions. It is better to be like-minded than to trust each other. This hexagram is conducive to travel, and you can meet noble people for help. I know that I am not a noble person, but I hope you understand the principle of seeking common ground amidst differences."
Seeing Shan Hai become serious, Aluan also echoed:
"Yes, the hexagrams of mountains and seas are accurate. Who and what in the world can have no contradictions? There must be separation when there is union, and there must be union when there is separation; there are differences among the same, and there are similarities among the differences. Even I understand this truth, Mu Wan
How could you not understand?"
Lord Jiyue just chuckled, as if he expected them to say these words.
"This pair of masters and apprentices has always been so interesting. You will never get bored following them."
The words of the three of them have been put here, so what reason does Liangqiu Muwan have for refusing?
No matter what, we have to look after each other on the road.
After that, Lord Jiyue also regarded Mu Wan as one of his own. He was not polite or defensive, and told them some information about Huangquan December in detail. It was getting dark now, and they all went back.
Fang Mu Wan lit the lamp and took out his pen and ink.
three.
Yayoi Yayoi Yingzuki-kun, the demon-binding lock.
Seventh, Xi Shu Wenxiang·Liang Yuejun, Wangui Zhi.
Eleven, Gu Jia Qianlong·Shuang Yuejun, Jintong Township, Demon Sealing Blade.
Twelve, at the end of the year, Master Ji Yuejun, cut off his finger to play the musical instrument.
This is the known impermanence of the Six Paths, and only two people can be trusted.
The window was open slit, and the night breeze made the oil lamp on the table tremble and flicker, extinguishing clearly. She raised her head and moved her neck. Mu Wan looked at the flames on the table, and for some reason, she felt upset.
At this time, someone knocked on the door softly outside. She heard that the owner of the footsteps was not threatening, but she still subconsciously picked up the umbrella handle and approached the door.
"who?"
"it's me."
It was Aluan's voice. Mu Wan opened the door and glanced behind him.
"You didn't follow Master?"
"Humph" she squeezed into the house and leaned against the door, "I don't want to talk to him anymore. He sent me to buy a horse tomorrow, and I don't want to go. He said that he could either let me trade with him, go to the bank to exchange money, and then give him a gift."
Go to the southwest. You have to run errands every time."
Mu Wan smiled: "But this is all work anyway. Your master is trying to reason with you. If there is no horse and only a pair of feet, how can a person travel in all directions?"
"I don't want to go to the stables and I don't want to go to the countryside. I have to ride a horse there. I don't like horses."
"Why is this?"
"When I was a kid, I fell off a horse. I lay down for more than two months and couldn't get out of bed. I don't want to ride again."
"Oh, but riding a horse is not difficult. If you are afraid of horses, I will let you buy them tomorrow. Master Lin, aren't you afraid that you will be deceived by those profiteers?"
"That's great! Then, I have another request. Can I not go back to sleep today?"
"The Taoist Priest isn't worried about you?"
"He won't."
Mu Wan agreed, and Aluan laughed like a child, showing an expression as if his plan had succeeded. It seemed that he was sure that Mu Wan would not refuse. After blowing the lamp, the two of them lay on the couch, and Aluan shook out another one.
Tummy problems.
"Did Mu Wan really come from Xueyan Valley? How far is it and how beautiful is it? Why is it called Xueyan Valley?"
"I can't lie to you. It's just a long way away, a few steps further than your Dailuan City. As for the name, Xueyan Valley has deep spiritual power, lingering in the mountains and ravines. The valley is like spring all year round, and the snow is melted with spiritual power.
It stays there all year round. I heard that writing with the water it melts can be as dark and shiny as ink. But once the paper is taken out, the words are hidden and cannot be seen. However, after all these years, I have never tried it.
"But I don't know if it's true or not, and I don't know if the injuries of the senior brothers have recovered after being out for so many days. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to say goodbye to my mother properly. I'm leaving now."
Mu Wan, who was unsuspecting in front of her children, somehow started talking more. She didn't tell anyone, just to say it out, as if it would lighten the burden on her heart. Her voice became softer and softer.
Oh, she could hear Aluan's even breathing over her.
The next day, she accompanied Aluan to buy horses. However, after searching for a long time, she never saw a horse market. Finally, she asked the locals and found out that Huansha City had banned the horse business because they were afraid of transporting grain without permission and disrupting prices. Although the problem was solved
, but the orders from above have not yet come down. After all, the people who should go back and report are still enjoying themselves in the restaurant.
Mu Wan was so angry that her teeth itched, and Aluan could see that her face looked bad.
But there was nothing they could do. They came and the two girls spent the whole day wandering around the market, looking at fabrics here and jewelry there. Although they didn't have any spare money, just worrying was a pastime.
A Luan stared at a black jade ring on the stall, and Mu Wan asked her if she wanted it. She shook her head, turned the medicine box she carried with her in front of her, and took out a very similar white jade ring.
"I just think it looks familiar, but that ring is not real black jade, it's an imitation. I also have this, a pair - given to me by my father. White jade is yang, helping me to be weak; black jade is yin
, in the hands of Shanhai."
When they returned to Yu'an Restaurant in the afternoon, Shanhai also came back. Since the place settled down, the news spread quickly and the transportation was much more convenient. The two did not buy the horse back, but told Shanhai what happened and discussed going to Pei together.
The member asked for two horses and urged him to report to his superiors quickly.
But once the matter calmed down, the so-called ultimatum became insignificant. Anyway, there are still two months until the death order, so it is better to be happy here and then go back. Compared with the civet cat, the real member Pei is even more
He was annoying. Not only his appearance, but also the arrogance in his every move was really irritating. The room was filled with smoke and mist, and the windows were not opened for ventilation. This made Aluan cough with tears in his eyes, and he looked at it.
It makes people feel distressed.
"Mama," Yuan Pei said lazily, holding a cigarette stick in his mouth, "What's so difficult about this? You guys have been a big help. I'll have someone bring it to you in a few days."
"But we can't delay this. We will set off tomorrow," Shan Hai explained. "We are pressed for time. Could you please make an accommodation and lend us your horse first?"
"Asshole! Presumptuous! Discourteous!"
Officer Pei suddenly changed his face. Every time he said a word, he knocked the cigarette on the table as if to cheer him up. The cigarette ashes were scattered all over the table.
"You guys can actually make up your own mind! Your time is valuable, but our time is not time? What a joke! Nonsense! What a beautiful idea!"
He smoked the cigarette again, and Aluan clicked like a frightened cat, making her tremble. It wasn't that she was afraid, but the posture with claws and teeth was really puzzling.
Mu Wan became annoyed when she saw the smoke, and her patience reached its limit. She lifted the umbrella slightly and pulled it out with a loud noise. The official stopped her. But she immediately took it back, and the umbrella flew out of the warehouse again.
The sound of air flow was like a sword being sheathed.
"Are you bluffing me? You are so brave. You do evil and do whatever you want."
The cigarette in Yuanwai's hand was suddenly cut into two pieces with a "click". It was not cut vertically, but straight along the cigarette rod, and was split into two chopsticks. The cross-section
It's neat and tidy and won't feel rough when you touch it with your hands.
"It is naturally what an official should do to relieve the people's worries and solve their problems."
