It stands to reason that he has been interested in music since he was a child. Dai Luan guessed that he has the temperament of a scholar, but he does not have it. On the contrary, she has rarely seen such a person with such bitterness written on his face. His expression,
His temperament is indescribably disgusting.
"Greetings to the city lord, why don't you kneel down -"
He spoke in a long, lazy tone, which made Dai Luan want to roll her eyes.
"I am the princess, I don't need it."
The city lord let out a sneer through his nose.
"Princess? Princess of Dailuan City? If your father is still alive for a day, you are not qualified to be equal to me. With that broken lock, you still want to be the seal envoy of the city king? Why don't you kneel down!"
If Shi Wuqi and Mu Wan knew what happened to them, they would definitely celebrate their absence by beating gongs, drums, and firecrackers. They were not given accommodation in the Chengwang Mansion, but two high-end restaurants were allocated in the mansion, and Yun Ge was also there.
Shui Wujun was standing. He stepped forward, saluted the city lord, and said:
"She is the doctor I told you about."
"Oh? It turns out to be this Huang Mao... this girl. Who is that?"
"It's her master. But he's not a master who teaches medical skills. Since she doesn't want to kneel down, she won't kneel down. You'd better tell them what's going on in your house as soon as possible."
"Hmph..." He made a scornful sound, "For the sake of Liudao Impermanence, I won't argue with you, a rude girl."
"Okay."
Are you so arrogant when you ask for help from others?
Anyway, Dai Luan didn't want to look at him. This was not an important place in the court, and there was no need to kneel down to anyone. It was just a tea room, and there wasn't even a servant to pour tea. This place looked like it was for private use. After all, if
It is a bit far-fetched to say that it is used for receiving guests, but it is considered extremely extravagant - the hand-painted murals on the walls are vivid, and the brushstrokes of flowers and birds are exquisite. The places where jade and jewelry can be set are all filled, and there is no gap at all.
It seemed too dense and too tacky in this small teahouse. There is a more formal place to entertain guests. This place may just be used for entertaining oneself with wives and concubines. But the city lord said that he didn't want many people to know at all.
During this meeting, I spoke in a low-key and simple manner.
No wonder. It is said that his family kept this matter a secret, and only asked someone to seek treatment from a doctor in private. In fact, people among the people were quietly talking that he should find some alchemists and Taoists to try to "subjugate demons and eliminate demons."
That's right, the City Prince's Mansion is haunted.
Although Shui Wujun had already given an overview to prevent any omissions, the two of them still listened to the story from Lord Wule himself. This incident probably happened during the Qingming Festival, when he went on an outing with his favorite fourth aunt. It was raining that day.
Despite the drizzle, they set off with a huge team. The location was in the outskirts, close to the mountains. This place was not supposed to be. At the beginning of the month, a girl who was collecting mountain mushrooms died in a horrific manner.
.But since it was the city lord’s order, and he brought so many personal guards, he should be fine.
The fourth aunt and he let the kite fly so high. Just when he was happy, a gust of wind blew over and the kite got entangled in the forest. He originally wanted to send his servants to pick it up, but the fourth aunt was too fast and ran over in a hurry.
When the servant came back with her, he not only had the kite in his hand, but also a strange mask.
To be precise, half a sheet.
The half mask was buried in the soil and was dirty. The fourth aunt tripped over it. So she started digging in the soil to find out what it was. When the servants arrived, they dug with her.
They didn't know where the other half of the noodle was. Maybe it was nearby. They searched around but couldn't find it. This half of the noodle was very strong, with a corner buried in the soil and tied with a red thread.
cloth.
The city lord didn't know why she picked it up, but she liked it. After taking it back and washing it with water, it became as smooth as new. Then the maid woke up from a dream and told her that this might be the name of the city.
The mask of the woman Aoki.
Qinggui has been missing for almost a year, and no one knows where she went. Some say she met her man and took revenge, while others say she met someone she liked again and left Wule City with him. Who cares?
It's just one more thing to talk about.
When they said this, Shan Hai and Dai Luan both sat stiffly on their chairs, as if every bone in their bodies was frozen. When the city lord said this, the two of them were looking at each other constantly.
Mizuki-kun probably knew something about their past and didn't say anything. Aoki was Hazuki-kun's friend, and he might have heard about her death.
In short, since the Qingming Festival, the temperament of the fourth concubine has changed drastically. The servants wondered whether she had offended the ghosts and gods and became like this because of being possessed by evil spirits. As a result, anyone who was so arrogant was dragged out by King Cheng.
No one dares to mention torture anymore.
"I don't believe those charlatans..." He slowly picked up the tea cup, "You are recommended by the Six Paths Impermanence, so I will believe you for once. Those who came before are all useless trash."
It is said that those doctors were all beaten. But maybe for Shui Wujun's sake, even if they were not cured, he would not make it difficult for them. It would only have a slight impact on the reputation of Liudao Impermanence. No wonder Shui Wujun wanted to find Kisaragi.
Jun, he felt that as a pharmacist, Kisaragi-kun should have a way. But this idea is actually wrong. If it was really effective, the adult would have sent her in the first place.
So in the final analysis, it is still "haunted". Dai Luan and Lin Shanhai are the most suitable ones.
Even the city lord couldn't tell you how the Fourth Aunt changed her mind in detail. She held that mask all day long and couldn't put it down, even when eating or sleeping. The maids said that she often talked to herself in the room alone.
Talking to myself. At first I thought there were other people in the room besides the fourth aunt, and the voices didn’t sound like other maids or aunts. There were more and more voices, and it was very lively, like many people gathered together. But every time only one person spoke.
People are saying. If someone goes in now to bring water or food, they will find that the fourth aunt is alone in the whole house. She will hold the mask and say "put it down" until the servants leave and the sound comes from the house again.
.
How did the fourth aunt speak so many voices by one person? This was very strange. At first, the city lord didn't believe it, but he didn't believe it until he bumped into her two or three times in person. He thought she must be too lonely, so she was too lonely.
He found some maids and servants to accompany her, but she still stayed alone in the house, even if he asked her to go out. The fourth aunt began to hate the sun too much.
Even when she was staying with her, she was very strange. Countless people told her that the fourth concubine looked like her in countless ways. Sometimes she was laughing, sometimes she was sad, sometimes she was indifferent, and each expression did not look like the same person.
Her mood changed too quickly in a short period of time, and the temperament revealed by those expressions made people feel unfamiliar, and it even felt like those expressions did not belong to just one person.
"Is the mask still on her?" Shan Hai asked.
"Yes."
"Here, why don't you take this away quickly?"
"Why?" The city lord felt puzzled, "Let her go if she likes it. Don't mess with those ghosts and gods, we have never offended any ancestors!"
"That's not the case. Fierce ghosts are unconscious when they demand their lives. Do they care about people's good and evil? You will harm the fourth concubine." Dai Luan yelled.
The city lord was unhappy and said that the fourth aunt was too unwell today and wanted to see her tomorrow.
Dai Luan really wanted to say, "It would be better to die of illness. It was you who caused her death." But after thinking about it carefully, she was innocent, so it would be better to see her. But on the way back, Shan Hai couldn't help sighing. He said that the fourth aunt was too afraid
There is no time when the body is suitable.
Did Aoi have such great resentment before his death? It's not impossible. A corner of Kuchugetsu-kun's clothing is still wrapped around it. Facing this object of both kindness and hatred will indeed disturb the aura of this relic. They didn't.
After returning to the accommodation arranged by the family, he first went to the restaurant where Shi Wuqi and the others were temporarily staying, and explained the situation while having dinner.
"I said before that it was related to Yingyue Jun. What happened?" At the dinner table, Shan Hai asked Shui Wujun.
"Oh. He is responsible for tracking Sakimenro. But this job seems a bit difficult for him."
"I remember this." Mu Wan put down her chopsticks, as if she was full, but in fact she hadn't eaten a few grains of rice.
"Difficult?" Shi Wuqi asked, "What kind of embarrassment is there?"
"On the one hand, Lord Yingyue was put in charge of this, and on the other hand... he was the only one who could suppress him. They all said that from this point of view, Lord Yingyue might have been regarded as
Abandoned son."
Dai Luan sucked her chopsticks and asked him: "What about you? What do you think?"
"I never have any opinions." He responded calmly, "It's enough to do your duty."
Yun Ge was also at the dinner table. He just immersed himself in eating and didn't speak. He really didn't expect that he could still hear the news about the Laughing Wolf doing evil in the world and be so close. He looked at Shui Wu from time to time.
Jun, try to figure out the meaning behind his words. Dai Luan feels that as two "craftsmen", they actually have many things in common.
"How much more do you know?" Shan Hai asked, "You must tell everything you know before we can judge how to deal with this matter. After all, it is what you entrusted to us."
"I'm not sure what you need. If I tell you all, it would be too much. I don't know everything about Mr. Yingyue. But I heard that he is actually nearby and has not left."
"Is that so?" Shi Wuqi raised his eyebrows slightly, "This is so outrageous."
"Listen to Shui Wujun, I'm afraid it will be the end of the road."
"You have to be careful. The more autumn comes, the louder the cicadas scream." Yun Ge said meaningfully.
"Ah, it's really troublesome. I'll go to the city to search around tomorrow to see if I can find any trace of that boy and ask for more information. Let's get over it as soon as possible and go to Qinglize to get the sachet back. Oh, speaking of which, you don't want to
A useful weapon?"
He poked Mu Wan with his elbow. She was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said no. But Shan Hai felt that it was dangerous and still hoped that she could prepare a weapon. Mu Wan was silent for a long time and said that she had used ordinary swords.
, her usage deteriorates too quickly. This is why she uses the demon umbrella under heavy protection.
"Shui Wujun, are you still fighting?" Shi Wuqi suddenly looked over. At this time, Yun Ge stopped drinking the soup and looked at him.
"..." Shui Wujunqian opened his mouth and was blank for a while, "I... after becoming the Six Paths Impermanence, I no longer forged swords. The only pair of nameless weapons-people call them Yin-Yang scimitars according to their colors.
It’s in Wujun’s hand. That gentleman once said that this sword can kill even the ghosts of Impermanence, so I stopped forging it. I don’t know if it’s because of my identity.”
"Can it really kill?"
"Who dares to try?" Shui Wujun pondered for a while, "Miss Liangqiu, if not, I will lend you a hand."
Mu Wan opened his mouth in surprise.
"borrow?"
"That's right. You can choose one of the six swords I carry with you and return it to me when you leave Wule City."
"How embarrassing...and besides, I can't afford to pay for it if it's damaged..."
After saying this, she still looked over with some excitement. Shui Wujun only said, it can't be bad, and he was very confident when he spoke calmly.
The last set of weapons Shui Wujun forged before his death - Six Paths, was indeed exciting. But Lin Shanhai and Shi Wuqi exchanged glances, and both of them had bad thoughts.
What exactly is there in Wule City that requires such precautions?
