August is high and the autumn is high. After a bumpy journey, I finally returned to Xueyan Valley after stumbling.
They have reached a consensus on some details that can be mentioned or not mentioned. But the original appearance of the matter still needs to be explained. This will be revealed after this glorious cleansing banquet, when Mu Wan and Mo Liang Xi Yu meet Chi Li in private.
chat.
It's still night, but the lights in the valley are brightly lit. In less than a year, Xueyan Valley has changed a lot. All the dangerous and dilapidated huts have been demolished and replaced by brand-new rows of brick houses. Looking from a high place, the original dotted buildings in the valley can be seen
become
It is very orderly, with a clear division of labor in each area, which is much more reasonable than before. The granary has been moved to the open space. If it is too close to the woods, there will always be little guys coming to eat. A large open space has been opened to the east for disciples to compete and practice.
place.
Chi Li used to have an indescribable "fairy spirit" and a kind of remoteness from the world. In fact, after dealing with people for a long time, the vague feeling of alienation has dissipated. Regardless of her behavior
She is still dressed up, still looks pleasing to the eye, and is still kept at a distance.
"The wine cellar is over there." Chi Li, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, pointed down in a direction, "You may not want to see it."
She was not wrong at all. Mu Wan would feel sleepy even if he smelled the smell of alcohol. She shook her head repeatedly and waved her hands to refuse. From where they stood, they could almost see the interior of the entire valley. This most dangerous place was not for
What Chi Li was afraid of was that the white clothes were swaying in the soft whistling wind, as light as clouds.
"Aling isn't coming..." She turned around and looked at Shi Wuqi, "She wants to celebrate the New Year at home."
"It's okay." He smiled politely.
"You want to make medicine, but you can't tell me, which makes me a little embarrassed." Chili continued, "I can't make the decision alone, and I need to discuss it with other seniors."
As she said this, she glanced at Mo Liang. She knew that even Mo Liang couldn't talk about something that would cause trouble, such as the covetousness of major martial arts figures. If it was kept secret, the more people who knew about it, the less safe it would be. It was a dilemma.
situation. Speaking of Mo Liang, she still blamed herself for her previous
Reckless. When she heard that there was a way to save Xiaoliang, she hurriedly sent him there. Now I don’t know if the curse has been solved. Ye Yuejun also heard that his vitality was seriously damaged and he disappeared. With this kind of result, it is better not to let him go.
If you go, at least you won't owe Ye Yue-kun such a big favor.
However, she still subconsciously hopes that all this will be effective. However, she cannot afford to gamble now.
"You are becoming more and more like a leader."
Shan Hai's words were regarded as compliments, but with a hint of regret.
Chi Li smiled bitterly: "Yeah, at first I always felt like I couldn't help myself. But as time went by, I felt it didn't matter anymore. No matter how you live, you're still alive. It's better to experience more different lives."
"Under your governance, the Xue Yan Sect is really prosperous."
"Xiao helped me a lot," she said frankly. "When I didn't know how to do many things, he would tell me some similar things from ancient and modern times at home and abroad as a reference. Sometimes, if a disciple in the sect had an idea but didn't want to say it, he would
He will also tell me. To put it this way, it feels a bit like cheating, hahahaha.”
"What's the matter?" Shi Wuqi said, "The Cloud Mirror is already in your hands. How you use it is your own business. People in the world always want to use it for evil. How do you do it in the hands of an upright person like you?
Nothing is too much.”
"That's ridiculous, but no matter how much you praise me, I have to be responsible for my disciples."
"Wherever you are, let those who deserve to be praised be praised."
The sophistication of people going back and forth is a headache, not to mention someone like Mu Wan who is well aware of the situation on both sides. She moved her eyes away in disgust, not allowing herself to waste time in this meaningless tit-for-tat confrontation. She knew
, there is a place in Xueyan Valley that is very suitable for placing an incense burner. The place is low-lying and very hidden. The spiritual power has been accumulated for a long time and is full of wealth.
There is a pond there, named Xueyan Pond. Although there is water everywhere in the mountain, no matter how big the living water or stagnant water is, it cannot be as famous as this small pond. It has no water conservancy worth using, and it is just a place.
Scenic, but nearby
The road is inconvenient, so we just leave it there and let the little animals and demons play. When viewed from a distance, the pool is clean and pure white, making people mistakenly think that it is just a place of snow. But once you get close, it becomes clear.
You will find that it is a pool of "black water", because this
The pool was extremely clear, but the rocks at the bottom were as pure black as black iron. The water was very clear. She had been there once, and she forgot whether it was spring, summer or autumn or winter. She only remembered that there was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the Snow Inkstone Pool.
She curiously took one piece off, and in an instant
It melted in her hands. And the piece of thin ice that she dug out of the water quickly solidified and healed. This scene left a deep impression on her, so although the disciples of Xue Yan Sect often forget that there is such a place
Even if the scenery exists, she can always remember it.
Mu Wan didn't know whether Chi Li knew that such a place existed. But she was secretly thinking whether it was necessary to tell Shi Wuqi that there was such a place. But doing so seemed to deviate from the symbol of protecting Xue Yan.
Chili from Gu, she is also a disciple of the Xue Yan Sect, and she doesn’t want to do this. On the other hand, it seems to be some kind of natural obligation to help friends who have been with her for a long time.
This was very contradictory and made her at a loss.
They walked around again, and many senior brothers and sisters gathered around them. Many of them knew Shanhai and the others, and they were also curious about Shi Wuqi's identity. Xi Yufeng was so handsome that he had earned a lot of face. She was talking to them.
Mo Liang told embellished stories to the younger disciples.
Shan Hai could actually sense that Chi Li was wary of Shi Wuqi. After all, he had never seen it before, and he had an unspeakable demon...spiritual power, and an ominous eye. His right eye was injured.
It’s not like no one has asked, several people have generally
Yidi answered that she was injured in a recent fight with a demon. Miss Qi attracted more attention. At first, almost no one thought something was wrong. It was not until they learned that she was a corpse that the girls surrounding them dispersed.
.This scene really seems familiar.
Before the break, Chi Li suddenly asked Shi Wuqi to go over, which made everyone else a little nervous. Although it was not a guilty conscience, he still felt that something was wrong. So he did not take Miss Qi with him, but just walked with her.
The remote places nearby are nothing special to avoid.
"Let me ask you...what do you think about Mo Liang?"
Shi Wuqi looked into her eyes with some confusion. Theoretically, if she asked him, she might not be able to ask anything. But asking the mountains and seas would be more convincing than asking himself. He didn't know why Chi Li said this,
But she should have her own reasons. Perhaps she was worried that Shanhai was hiding something, and secondly, she wanted to find out what he, a "stranger," wanted.
What's more, Mo Liang actually didn't mean to hide anything from her. Maybe after a while, he would tell the truth about what he saw and heard. So now, he should be more careful when he speaks.
Maybe he didn't have anything to say.
"Xiao Liang will have bone spurs on his body, you should know."
"...I know. He again?"
"That's right. I saw something from that."
He truthfully told what he saw at that time, ignoring some of his subjective feelings. This piece of information was insignificant, but it sounded important. Chi Li frowned tightly and did not let go for a moment.
"So, what about the curse-breaking thing that Mr. Ye Yue said? You know, I don't want to raise this kind of question when everyone just comes back happily. I don't know you, and I have only heard of the name of Lord Bai Skeleton.
So, I hope we can take advantage of this short time to have a little communication. After this day, I can feel that you are not a person who cannot speak... but you are not able to speak everything."
"Well, there is no need for me to lie to you about Mo Liang."
Shi Wuqi took a deep breath and glanced in the direction of the guest room. Shan Hai and Dai Luan occasionally looked this way.
"So, how much are you willing to say?"
"Speaking out may cause Xue Yanzong to bear unnecessary favors."
"But it doesn't matter."
"...Ye Yuejun made a great sacrifice. At first, we didn't know whether this would be effective, but then we visited Death Shadow Pavilion. You know, Mo Liang must have mentioned this in his letter. Death Shadow Pavilion told him,
Those efforts...are almost useless, all in vain, but will give Gui Tan a taste of the sweetness."
Chi Li's eyes were a little strange, and she said quietly:
"I heard about Xiaoying Pavilion... They want to get Yun Waijing, and I don't like them. But what they said doesn't seem to be adulterated. Is there a possibility that these words have some purpose?
for example--"
"Your intuition is right." Wu Qi sighed deeply, "They did use Yun Waijing as a threat to another way to break the curse. I guess Mo Liang wanted to hide all this, for fear that we would
I thought, they were afraid that we would be worried. But fortunately, Xi Yu told all these things, and we had a chance to know the truth. But in fact, the conditions they proposed were not sincere, so I suspect that they wanted to take the opportunity to disturb people's hearts.
"
Chi Li's expression now is exactly the same as when they learned about this.
"It's right to let Xi Yu follow him... This child is not afraid of him speaking, but afraid that he won't speak."
"I can understand."
"So, Gui Tan's curse actually made no progress, and Lord Ye Yue was seriously injured because of it?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it's true. I'm sorry, we..."
"I don't blame you."
Chi Li shook his head and sighed softly. Although there was no one nearby, both his disciples and his friends knew that they were here. When the time comes, they would definitely still ask questions.
Shi Wuqi was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked her: "Can I boldly make a guess?"
"Speaking."
"You are testing whether what I say is true."
Chi Li was slightly surprised. She turned her head, looked Wu Qi up and down, and said nothing for a while. She knew that this man was smarter than she thought, but in fact, she had never had this level of meaning.
"I'm not afraid of what you say." Chi Li said, "Things that Xiao didn't take the initiative to tell me are not good news. I know this very well. If I ask him, he will definitely tell me and will definitely give it to me.
Look, but it’s meaningless. The cloud outside the mirror knows the sky and the earth, and it has extensive knowledge of the past and the present, but it can never see through the human heart.”
"Even ghosts and gods can't see through things like the human heart."
"I guess so."
Chi Li shrugged, as if he didn't care very much. Wu Qi knew that even if the method given by the Shadow Pavilion was feasible, Chi Li would never exchange the Yun Waijing. On the one hand, it was a relic given to him by his mother, and the ownership
It has nothing to do with Mo Liang, she can't be as close as she is
The younger brother, who is actually not related by blood, gave up easily, not to mention the outcome of falling into the hands of the Shadow Pavilion was unknown; on the other hand, everything they had fought against She Ji before, the price paid by the Xue Yan Sect, and what Mo Liang had created
A piece of bone will lose its meaning.
Shi Wuqi guessed that She Ji did not propose an exchange on this condition at that time because the Shadow Pavilion had not yet reached this level of technology. Now they must have made a breakthrough at some level. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
"I can give others a try on your matter, but I can't guarantee that I can help. For the sake of Liang Qiu and Mo Liang, I agree with Xiao to talk to you and see if he has any
A better way. From now on, if I don't mention this matter again, it means that the negotiation has failed, and you should find another Feng Shui treasure place as soon as possible."
