Before Xueyan Valley, there is a place that I have to visit.
Dai Luan replied: "Yes, that's right. It's best to ask you about this sword again..."
I hope Hazuki-kun's efforts are worth it.
They all knew the most important purpose of this trip to Death Shadow Pavilion - about the Tengu. It was cast by Shanhai with a spell and sealed in a talisman. Mu Wan carried it with him personally. When sealing it
, it is still a small one, like a domestic dog. It looks very weak, has no ability to resist, and is not at all like the majestic appearance it used to have.
Mu Wan felt that it could be saved, and she also felt that she could be saved. At that time, she could still control it, couldn't she? If she had been more honest at that time, she wouldn't have had to take such a big detour. But there was no way, there was a way to go
, there is no shortcut at all.
Chi Li didn't know how long they would go or when they would come back, so Mo Liang kept writing letters on the way. He said in the letter that Ye Yuejun had his own things to do and left first. He would talk to them in detail about the curse when he went back. He himself
He didn't come back alone, but followed Mu Wan and the others. It was very safe. I asked everyone to let go.
Xin. I think the people in Xue Yan Valley will be very happy when they know that the junior sister and her friends are coming. Mo Liang didn’t mention going to Death Shadow Pavilion, but just said that they would go back later. He was afraid of mentioning the old and cunning She Ji
That group of people got angry. And they must be worried about him and don't want him to go.
But Mo Liang had to go, and he also had questions he had to ask.
"Tell them that you can bring Xie Hualing here if you have the chance." When Mo Liang wrote the letter, Dai Luan was "adding to the chaos" beside him. "The fan-wielding brother can teach her a few tricks, it will definitely be useful."
"I'll teach you and I'll teach you." As he said that, Shi Wuqi opened his fan at the side.
They walked for a long time, riding the horses they bought from the villagers. There were not many horses in the village, so it was not easy for them to buy them. But for some reason, they had a good reputation in the village - especially on the last day of the group.
The scene of flying geese made the villagers particularly awe and thought they were something special.
Characters. So after spending some money, they sold the horses to them. There were four horses in total. Xi Yu initially said that he was very good at riding horses, but he was shaken off as soon as he got on the horse, which made the villagers laugh. She said this
The horse was so stubborn. Unexpectedly, it became obedient when Mo Liang sat on it, which made Xi Yu furious.
When they were bored on the road, they would take turns singing. Everyone sang songs they heard in their hometown, with slightly different styles. They unexpectedly discovered that Xi Yu was good at singing, as if he had learned it in an opera troupe, but
She proudly said no.
Sometimes, Shanhai will have an illusion - as if everything has returned to the way it was when they first met. They don't know each other well enough, so they introduce themselves in various ways to understand what kind of person the other person is and what they are like.
It's just that now the protagonists are Mo Liang and Xi Yu. They had many interesting or sad things when they were young, which made Dai Luan increasingly feel that her childhood at home and in the pharmacy was boring.
"I'm very happy." Mo Liang said, "Everything I got today makes me grateful for the troubles I encountered in the past."
When he said this, he clenched the sword in his hand slightly. They knew that the issue about Lord Ye Yue had been temporarily ignored, and he himself was unable to make a fair and objective evaluation of the matter, so he had to turn a blind eye for the time being.
"Me too!" Xi Yu said sincerely, "They just want me to get married. I don't understand. It's all meat that fell from my mother's body. Does it matter whether it has a handle or not?"
"It's really strange that she should be responsible for the pain she suffered when giving birth to a daughter. It's natural for her to have stomachaches after giving birth to a son, and she has to throw a big banquet to thank him for causing her such pain!"
"Not everyone is like this..." Shanhai tried to say, "I am a boy, and my parents had to give up on me for various reasons; Liangqiu is a girl, and there are brothers in the family, so my parents treat me equally. And Aluan."
"A-Luan is a special case," Shi Wuqi said suddenly, "I heard that everyone older than her... died young."
"But my parents still love me very much." Aluan didn't mind at all. "Even if I'm not the only son in the family, I believe they are still sensible. Alas, I have to practice well with you. If there is no result, I can only
Go back and inherit the position of city lord."
"..."
Why does this sound so uncomfortable?
"Maybe when you come home, your parents will give you another brother." Shi Wuqi joked, "Then the position of city lord will have nothing to do with you."
"Wouldn't that be more enjoyable? I have been longing for the days when I can eat, drink, drink, don't have to work and still get paid!"
"No, I think you can't be too different now..."
Although Xi Yu was very angry every time she talked about this, her mood is finally better now.
"I know. I just don't accept it... I really envy Senior Sister. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, I'm quite happy now."
Mu Wanqian opened her mouth, intending to say something, but she swallowed it back. The few people rode in silence for a while, and she suddenly said to Shi Wuqi: "Show me the Tianxiang Jade."
She didn't ask for anything along the way. Shi Wuqi guessed that she had actually been holding it in for a long time. Now that she was a little more settled, she could adjust her mood and think about it. He nodded, and Miss Qi behind him opened a pocket.
She opened it and took out a small piece of green jade. In addition to these valuable things, all the cheap medicinal materials were on Aluan. As for this piece of jade, Aluan had not ground it according to the prescription, and she knew that Mu Wan must see it.
Mu Wan stretched out her hand, took half of the jade from Miss Qi's hand, rubbed it gently with her nails, then brought it to her nose and smelled it. The scent was indeed there, but it was too weak, as if it was in a sachet.
I can no longer smell it. But after so many years, it still exudes a strange smell. It is indeed a valuable treasure.
"Tianxiang jade should have many uses, but ordinary people would not know it." Shi Wuqi said, "In the eyes of ordinary people, it is probably like all jade, it can ward off evil spirits, pray for blessings and ensure safety."
"Is it because it's broken that it can't protect us?"
Shi Wuqi was suddenly stunned, and no one else could answer the question. The atmosphere became subtle, and Mu Wan quickly noticed it.
"No, I'm just saying it casually, don't take it seriously..."
That night, they found an inn in the wilderness, very close to the next city. Before going to bed, Dai Luan quietly asked Mu Wan a question.
"Since there is such a good thing as soul-reviving incense, have you ever thought about using it to resurrect Siyan..."
Mu Wan answered this question naturally.
"I've thought about it, of course I've thought about it. But isn't the art of resurrection from the dead forbidden? It will lead to other impermanent ghosts following suit... That adult will definitely notice it, but I don't think it's as good as Wu Qi's.
Strength means being able to continue moving forward despite knowing that the road is dangerous.”
"Well, it means you are afraid that you will not be able to shoulder the responsibility?" Dai Luan got up and asked, "So if you are not banned, you will try it?"
"I don't know, not necessarily." Mu Wan yawned, a little sleepy, "I don't like officialdom... What if I survive and insist on going back? And everyone in the court knows him, if he is still alive
, there will definitely be a big mess. This man is very paranoid, and I'm afraid he won't live peacefully with my mother in Xueyan Valley for the rest of his life. It's good, at least he's back."
"It's great. I haven't had any brothers or sisters since I was a child. I have brothers and sisters from the same school even in the mountains and seas. It's so boring. Even if there are servants to play with children of the same age, they don't dare to beat me. It's boring to go back and forth.
"
"So you don't want to be the city lord?"
"I don't care." Aluan turned over and put his hands behind his head, "If it doesn't work out, just go back and be the city lord. It doesn't matter if you don't do it right, I think it's very interesting to be in the world."
"I can't walk anymore." Mu Wan closed her eyes, "I want to go home."
Her voice was very soft, and Aluan was not sure if she was too sleepy and her head was foggy to say such things. If she thought about it seriously during the day, she might be more objective and be able to think of the fun of the world.
.It’s just not possible now. Jianghu bullied her and made her feel wronged.
The weather is getting colder. They turned from north to south, and it was not too cold. The climate has been very comfortable, and people's mood has also improved. Along the way, several people also encountered trouble. Compared with the strong winds and waves they have experienced
, whose house lost something, which village has a demon?
Strange things are causing trouble, something is starting to be haunted again... There are too many things to see, and many small things are not surprising. Mo Liang has experienced a lot, and it is not surprising that these bad things are caused by people, but Xi Yu is considered a big
Open your eyes and feel emotional every day:
"There really is everyone in this world!"
Indeed, in order to fight for the inheritance, he killed his biological father in advance; he wanted to steal back the pawned things and pretended to be a ghost to scare people to death; he misunderstood the intention of the monster and aggravated the conflict and killed people... In less than two months, these messy cases can be seen
It left a big psychological shadow on Xi Yu.
"You'll get used to it after seeing it too much." Aluan looked mature, "People's hearts are very bad."
"It's not all bad."
Shi Wuqi added, and Shanhai glanced at him. For him, perhaps this identity is more objective and fair, and he has more say.
After going around in circles like this, they finally returned to Qinglize. This place was humid and watery, and a little colder than other southern regions - it was damp and cold, and it felt uncomfortable even when wrapped in clothes.
"Do you think those two stores will still allow us to stay?" Shi Wuqi said while riding on his horse.
"We haven't demolished that inn, so it should still welcome us!" Dai Luan said righteously.
Being able to stay in an inn is really the best thing, and Xi Yu understands it deeply. It turns out that most of the time along the way, people live in the open air, and Onmyoji is not a particularly profitable job. The scenery is scenery, and sometimes in order to show sympathy for the poor, they simply charge less
Or they don’t charge money anymore. Sometimes they give two meals and free up a room, and Shanhai actually doesn’t care about the cost. Xi Yu, who was used to living in poverty as a child, feels very admirable - if it were her, she would be embarrassed to ask for money.
, I still think about it to some extent.
As a result, when they arrived at Qinglize, someone stopped them before they had gone far.
"Gui'an."
Zhu Tong smiled and stopped in the middle of the road.
The little girl looked very weak in front of the four tall horses. Several people looked at each other and murmured in their hearts.
"Sama Satsuki knew you would come," she said again, her tone so brisk.
"Yes, of course you know... there is nothing in this world that you don't know." Mu Wan seemed to be sarcastic.
Ignoring the sarcasm in her words, little girl Zhu Tong continued:
"But she's not here now."
Several people were a little unhappy. What do you mean, you came in vain? You knew they were coming, but they weren't here. Wasn't this a sincere attempt to avoid them?
"Please rest assured, Satsuki-sama only goes out when there is something to do. He is not deliberately avoiding you... She is not always here, which is why there is an acting pavilion master."
"Oh, is it that bastard She Ji?" Mu Wan rolled up his sleeves, "It's best not to let me see him."
"We will treat her well according to her instructions. Then, please come with me."
Zhu Tong put his hands behind his back and jumped forward along the road. They were somewhat doubtful, but they still followed.
