Chapter one hundred and ninety-six: the soul is broken
A slight rumble came from the dark night sky. The volume was not harsh, but it was enough to wake up sleeping people. A thin beam of light from the ground extended to the sky, but it was very long and uninterrupted, leading straight to the stars in the sky. It was like a
Wisps of smoke gradually weave into a huge white cloud. In the night, it exudes a dim light. The sound also seems to come from the sky, but for some reason it is this sound - it is more like coming from a distant place.
Large objects collided one after another. But the clouds are supposed to be light and airy, so how could there be such a movement?
Some people woke up from their sleep, opened the door and looked around, or stuck their heads out of the window. More and more people opened their eyes and wondered what was happening outside. They saw the strange curtain in the sky and the continuous light source.
They gather together until the light and shadow form a vague outline, with a definite shape.
They looked like several people, were still moving, and had sounds.
"Kill, kill... I, the disciples of Gu Shu, are missing... They are all buried in the cemetery. Disobedient disciples will be killed... I am the one who tested the poison before..."
"Speak slowly... Do you mean that the disciples who resist will be arrested and tested for medicine? They will be buried if they die? Is your poison untreated before, or is it a new one?"
"New, new...the old poison has not been cured, and the new medicine has not fully taken effect...I was able to preserve some consciousness and pretend to be under control. He asked A Ling and I to choose the medicine... He said one was poison and the other
Then nothing will happen. I am, Onmyoji...I recognized the problematic medicine, so I grabbed it and took it..."
"So Aling has gone home, you stay?"
"They lied to me... As soon as Aling left, She Ji said that the medicine was also... a poison. It was latent and could not be seen... Please leave me alone, please, go save her and save everyone.
The poison is hidden in her body, and one day she will..."
The disciples gradually walked out of the door, all surprised by this strange spectacle. But the reason was no longer important - after all, the girl without eyes had a somewhat hoarse voice no matter how hard she looked. Her identity needed to be made clear.
It's not difficult. That is the senior sister they get along with day and night. The other two people, almost everyone knows them, they are the Taoist priest and his apprentice who visited a few days ago.
Did this really happen? When? Or is it fake, an illusion?
Among the whispers, someone else said that only the Cloud Mirror can reflect the appearance of other places in the world, and only the Cloud Mirror can put everything under the clouds.
Some people say that there are rumors that the superiors have been looking for this legendary mirror. Some people also suspect that this is some kind of illusion. But why do the people who perform the magic do this? What if those scenes are true? More
People fell into panic.
And panic is still spreading.
In addition to those discussions, She Ji's subordinates began to take action. It is not difficult to find the origin of the projection, just follow the smoke-like light beam to find it. This is indeed something that Yun Waijing can do
, there is no similar trick other than this. The holder who uses this trick will definitely be in danger, which is equivalent to directly exposing the mirror and exposing his own position.
Unless they are not afraid.
It was a relatively high terrain. Although the height did not affect Yun Waijing's ability, they seemed to have chosen that place deliberately. The people who came were very aggressive, but it was tantamount to death. They could always see people who were losing their combat effectiveness.
The bodies of people or monsters rolled down the slope.
This was not a well-crafted lie, it was just deception and oppression by power. What She wanted was not the people's hearts, so no matter what method Wu Yuangui used to manage the sect, it had nothing to do with him. He only wanted "material", and he only wanted to test the medicine.
The material, or the material of human nature, is the same as all the people who stare blankly at the life and death in the Gu pool.
Everything was in chaos. There was no need for the thieves to go up and die, and the disciples in the valley also woke up. The sound of the crowd shouting and discussing and the sound of weapons clashing continued, and the birth of "internal strife" was inevitable. All of this had already been laid.
, it’s just a fire that lights up the thread tonight.
The moon and stars moved slowly to the west. There was still no light in the eastern sky, and the night was still long.
The restlessness gradually escalated into chaos, and people who had been grudges for a long time had a chance to speak out. Among them, there were also people who approached Chili and Moliang out of curiosity. They stopped coming down and stood with them.
More lights lit up in the valley, from sparse to dense, as if the stars in the sky were shining on the ground. Mo Liang hugged the tengu and looked at the whole noisy scenery quietly.
"Little sister, can I take a look at that shikigami?" someone said, "It's very painful. We know some medicine, maybe we can help it."
"...It's time to work."
Shan Hai and Dai Luan didn't know what was going on. They just saw an area getting busy from a distance. It was probably the place where the Xue Yan Sect disciples lived their daily life. Shan Hai took Dai Luan's hand and ran faster. Maybe there was something going on there.
Something happened, but they were too far away, too far away, and their attention was focused indoors, so they didn't notice anything.
Just be sure nothing happens. Shan Hai prayed silently in his heart.
Chi Li and Mo Liang are constantly asking about the whereabouts of Wu Yuangui and She Ji. If they are not resting, no one will know where they have gone. The two are anxious, but there is nothing they can do. Telling the so-called "truth" to the world is what they can think of.
But when everyone asked about their identities, Chi Li remained silent. Mo Liang knew that she just didn't think about it, but didn't know whether to say it or not. He knew that although Chi Li was afraid that no one would believe her
, but not for the position of head. She was afraid that no one would believe her. She was just worried that it would be detrimental to what Shanhai and Mu Wan were working hard for. In this way, she and Mo Liang returned to Xueyan Valley with Yun Waijing.
will be meaningless.
Who is all this for?
For the common people or for yourself?
For the sake of the common people and for themselves. They clearly know the answer.
"What are you doing?!"
This shouting was not considered angry, but it was obviously emotional. The atmosphere here became very chaotic, and the spiritual connection between people was also very unstable. The two of them failed to detect the identity of the visitor at the first time.
But it is not difficult to tell from this familiar voice that this is indeed the person they are desperately looking for.
"Ah, Liangqiu——" Mo Liang's voice was a little higher, but he lowered it again, "That..."
He didn't know whether he should show her the current appearance of Tengu. The kind-hearted disciple gave it medicine. Although it couldn't be cured, it seemed to be more stable than before. It shouldn't be in so much pain, right? He wasn't sure, but
I hope so.
However, Mu Wan's attention was not on him for the time being. Her hair was messy, her clothes had several tears, and her eyes were red and bloodshot. She had obviously experienced a fierce battle. But the battle was not over - she
The fighting spirit in his body was as sharp as new. It was not anger, but something else, without any mercy or compromise, but at the same time full of painful persistence and determination.
"you……"
Chi Li called her hesitantly, not knowing what to say as the first greeting. At this time, other people in the battle also noticed this. The fighting sound was quieter, but the momentum remained unchanged.
"What are those?! And—what are you doing?!"
Mu Wan pointed at the clouds in the sky with the tip of her umbrella. There was no longer any picture on it, and the light had long since disappeared. Only a few clouds and mist were slowly dissipating. It seemed that she was in a position where she could see some pictures, or at least
Hearing the voice, Chi Li also knew the result. In fact, in addition to letting people know the facts, interfering with Wu Yuangui and her actions is the first priority. When fighting him, Chi Li already knew clearly that Wu Yuangui himself was not that amazing.
What she didn't know was Mu Wan's strength. What she didn't know was how much she weighed. It was hard to say, after all, his senior brother's skills were above ordinary people.
Now it's safest to trick them into sight. It's best to let everyone see them - everyone.
But they still haven't seen She Jiu. He hasn't appeared since the last time they met, which makes them feel uneasy. Whether he has a darker and unknown conspiracy is still unknown. Furthermore...
"Where is Wu Yuangui?" Mo Liang asked.
Mu Wan spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.
"Who knows! After those strange clouds and sounds appeared, he was frightened and turned pale. He was even more embarrassed than when I touched his bottom. I was stunned - I knew I shouldn't be stunned, but I heard A Yao's voice. However,
That bastard didn't take the opportunity to attack me. I ran directly over here. I don't know where he is now. I was about to ask you, what happened to those things?! Was it Xiao's fault? Shanhai and Aluan were...
...are you with Xie Huayao? Then, those words..."
Mu Wan's eyes suddenly froze, and she noticed the tengu in Mo Liang's arms. For a moment, she couldn't say anything. All these things were too complicated and too sudden, like a mudslide carrying several huge rocks and hitting her head and face.
When she came down, all that was left was suffocation in addition to severe pain. She couldn't say anything, and it seemed like she had ten thousand words and ten thousand questions to ask. She felt that she had just fallen into a blank mind, which was caused by the conversation with Wu Yuangui.
But now it is different, this is a kind of chaos, almost a chaos of nothingness.
"It doesn't hurt now... for the time being." Mo Liang handed the dog to her, and she took it stiffly, "The Taoist priest tried his best at that time, but he still didn't have time. We were trying to break through the trap set by She Ji - it was for
Save me...I'm sorry."
Mo Liang probably wanted to explain more, but he couldn't. Mu Wan knew that she shouldn't blame him, but she didn't know who to blame. After thinking about it, in the end she could only blame herself for her lack of ability. When she thought of this, she felt a little
Angry.
——Why am I like this? Why can’t I do anything?
"I can't even protect my own shikigami!" She whined loudly, but quickly lowered her voice, "I'm sorry, I definitely don't blame you, and I don't regret letting the Taoist priest take care of it. Absolutely not... I just
, I - well. Let’s talk about Yun Waijing first, okay? Are those pictures real?”
"It's true."
This was not said by Mo Liang, nor Chi Li. It was Yun Waijing—it was Xiao himself. When people around him saw him, they couldn’t figure out who he was for a moment, and no one acted rashly for the time being. But Chi Li was heartbroken.
.She knew that once She Ji's people learned that he was Yun Waijing's fusangshen, a fierce battle would be inevitable.
...But so what. She thought. When she came here, she had no intention of escaping unscathed.
She was just a little sad and a little tired. But when she thought about Mu Wan, Mo Liang, cold mountains and seas, and Dai Luan, she calmed down a little. Then the fatigue subsided a little, and what was left was as endless as the ocean.
