Volume 1 Huangquan in December, Chapter 33: Drinking Valley and Qiqiu
When Mu Wan and Dai Luan arrived at Xuan Chong Town, it was getting dark. Mu Wan thought that Ah Luan would not dare to ride a horse alone, but she didn't say anything and consciously jumped on her master's horse.
, driving freely, which made her relieved. They didn't talk about anything on the way. Mu Wan talked about the whereabouts of her master and how to meet the Hundred Skeleton Master. Dai Luan thought for a long time and didn't express his position. He just said Lord Jiyue.
He told her a story. After that, they became quiet.
The absence of mountains and seas makes people feel uneasy.
Xuanzhuang Town is indeed a town. Although it is not as large and rich as the city, it is much more lively than the dead village. At night, the streets are lit with colorful lights, and the vendors set up stalls to make money. They eat something casually.
, I wasn’t in the mood to go shopping, so I went to find the big inn that Shan Hai mentioned.
Before entering the door, I heard the waiters muttering that there was a man who had been sitting in the corner all day. Mu Wan hadn't turned around yet, but he didn't expect to see Shan Hai as soon as he entered the lobby. The two of them ran over quickly.
They saw that Shan Hai's face was not good. He was in a bad mood, a little haggard, and his eyes were green, and it seemed that he had not rested well. He raised his tired eyes and looked at them, and wanted to stand up, but immediately sat back, mouth
He took a breath of air.
He frowned and hit his lower back with his backhand. Aluan didn't ask any questions, but quickly ran up to rub his shoulders.
"You still, uh, don't look good."
"It's so cold that my bones are brittle," he sighed. "I don't feel it when I sleep, but when I wake up, my whole body hurts."
"So, have you seen anyone? What should I say?"
"I went there, and the wall was still a wall, very thick."
"Is it really a lie?"
"Not really. I think I'm afraid my yang energy is too strong. If that doesn't work, I'll take a day off, put on the black jade ring tomorrow night to remove the yang energy, and then lie down for the night. I'm afraid of losing the ring, so I'll put it in Aluan
I forgot about this in my medicine cabinet. It’s been missing all over the place lately.”
Mu Wan poured a cup of cold tea and sighed.
"I think it's better to forget it. Let's take a day off today, and we'll go see it with you during the day tomorrow."
"It's also a way."
He needs rest so much.
He said so, but it was just dawn, and the mountains and seas opened their eyes early. When he was pretending to be troubled in his heart, he could not get a good sleep. Mu Wan was the same, only A Luan slept soundly. No matter how much he did,
However, for a girl like her who is inexperienced in the world, she can always be turned away by her dreams.
She has not yet reached the age to eat the hardships of adulthood. In other words, she is too well protected - Shan Hai often thinks this way.
It was not because he was reluctant to let her go out, but mainly because he was afraid that Dailuan City Lord would hang him up and beat him if he found out.
After simply eating something, they packed up and set off. On the way, they called intermittently and heard about the House of Weeping Corpses. It was indeed true, but everyone said that no one had tried it. This reassurance was like a lump in the throat, and it couldn't go up, and it couldn't come down.
It makes people's throats feel itchy and their minds are scratched.
When they were almost there, Shanhai pointed at the green and white wall in front of them. The wall was really clean, and I didn't expect people to disturb it all the time. Maybe people were tired of trying and didn't want to come back, or maybe there were people here frequently.
maintained.
Mu Wan knew that he was not knowledgeable enough to see anything special. But the wall was indeed strange. Not to mention the door, there was not even a window.
"This" Ah Luan opened his mouth.
"Do you think something is wrong too?" she asked her.
"I don't like how gloomy this place is."
"Then you have to find a way to get in."
Shanhai walked forward, put his hand on the wall, then turned the back of his hand and tapped it a few times, and heard the sound of a thick ordinary wall.
He turned his head and suddenly found Mu Wan holding an umbrella open, as if holding a battering ram.
"what are you doing?"
"I think it's faster this way."
I don't think you have anything to talk about.
When the words came to his lips, he hurriedly stopped her. If he didn't find a gentle way to enter, it would be difficult for him to guarantee that they would be treated gently by the owner of the corpse house. If they couldn't save all the corpses, they would be collected.
The sun was shining brightly, making people dizzy. After staying in the Dead Village for too long, they almost forgot that this is the temperature that summer should have. Mu Wan and Dai Luan stood far away holding an umbrella, and the mountains and seas walked around the yard several times.
, making them dizzy looking at it.
"Any clues?" Mu Wan asked him.
Shan Hai wiped the sweat from his forehead, walked towards them, and took the kettle from Aluan's hand.
"It's not that there is no way. I took a look and found that this formation is not complicated, it is just to prevent people from entering accidentally. It is not difficult to break this barrier. But when I tried to test it again, I found that the owner of the formation,
His spiritual power is never inferior to mine."
Dai Luan blinked.
"So it can be broken?"
"Let me try."
He returned the kettle to Aluan. It was much lighter. She and Mu Wan decided to go to a lake not far away to refill some water and let Shanhai test it first. If it didn't work, they would think of other ways.
The water level here is much higher than that in Dead Village, and it looks like summer. The sky is blue and the clouds are soft and lumpy. Mu Wan stood by the lake holding an umbrella for her, waiting for her to finish filling the water.
"Look, there are fish there." Aluan pointed to the water area in front of him.
"Where is it? Ah, there's really more than one. There's one over there too, over there with the bubbles."
"I saw it, and there was a red one."
The red fish arched its back on the water and sank quickly. The bright red color made her eyes dizzy for a moment, making her feel vaguely irritable. Maybe it was because the water reflected light that was too dazzling, or maybe it was too hot.
There is no way, summer is as hot as fire.
The very faint sound of branches being broken fell into my ears.
"Go back quickly!"
Mu Wan suddenly closed his umbrella and pulled Dai Luan up with one hand. She was a little strange, and asked as he ran after her:
"What happened suddenly?"
She had no time to explain, because she saw from a distance that besides the mountains and sea, there was another woman's back beside the wall.
He just focused on reciting the mantra without realizing it.
"Rinshan——"
She was halfway through shouting when Shan Hai was about to turn around. But just as he turned his face slightly, the woman suddenly raised her leg and swept her ankle hard towards Shan Hai's neck. He really didn't react and was kicked hard by the woman.
, unexpectedly fell to the ground.
Aluan was stunned.
But she was just stunned for a second, and suddenly she grabbed the sword in her hand and almost rushed forward. Mu Wan quickly grabbed her by the collar and threw her from the side behind him, and he was ready to deal with the woman.
She is very strange.
The woman had her hair tied up and was dressed in a smart attire that was not commensurate with the tender skin and tender flesh she looked like. Her face was clean, her facial features were exquisite, her mouth seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and a pair of bright copper eyes stared at them intently.
, just like a weapon polished on the battlefield, shining brightly.
She was surprised because she didn't blink at all.
Just now, Mu Wan could guarantee that she would find traces of people immediately, but until the woman stepped on the branch, she didn't notice that there was another person nearby.
The only explanation can only prove that the woman in front of him is not human.
What's more, how could a little girl who looked so fragile - similar to her own age - be able to attack an adult man so quickly and powerfully in an instant? She was too thin, and compared to a martial arts practitioner like herself, she couldn't.
She doesn't have that kind of quality. It's not impossible to have internal strength, but from her body, Mu Wan only felt that the faint evil aura was more representative.
"Who are you?" she asked loudly.
She still maintained the strange curve of the corner of her mouth and remained silent, which was annoying.
Mu Wan judged that it was most likely that the guards of the Weeping Corpse House. Shanhai wanted to break the formation, which alerted her.
"Are you Mr. Shi's subordinate? If that's the case, you should call him out."
She still didn't speak, and walked sideways with her, circling slowly. Her steps were very light, leaving only very shallow footprints on the dusty ground. Not far away were the injured mountains and seas, and
I don't know how serious the injury is or whether it's serious.
When she glanced down, her opponent suddenly attacked. Mu Wan skillfully raised her umbrella to block the strike. She clearly felt that this speed and strength were not suitable for ordinary women with at least ten years of martial arts skills.
, or what ordinary humans can do. Mu Wan pulled Dai Luan to jump backwards, opened the umbrella, and distanced herself from the woman.
Taking two more steps back, Mu Wan's back was pressed against the courtyard wall. She secretly thought in her mind that brute force was not enough, but what kind of magic should be used to deal with her?
"Click."
There is such a sound.
After an unknown amount of time, Shanhai slowly opened his eyes.
The surroundings were very cool, with a gentle breeze blowing occasionally, and the sun was not shining on his eyes. It didn't feel like he was outdoors. He sat up suddenly and found that he was in a hall of unknown location. There were dark brown and shiny high-cost buildings everywhere.
Fei's wooden tables and chairs. There is a faint astringent smell in the air. It's not unpleasant. It's a bit like Chinese medicine, but it's not.
It's like a sea breeze.
"Shanhai wakes up!" Dai Luan shouted.
Lin Shanhai looked over and saw that she and Mu Wan were sitting at the table. There were several cups of steaming tea on the table, and there were piles of melon seeds she had arranged neatly.
Mu Wan glanced at him, nodded, and stuffed another melon seed into his mouth.
"Click."
Before Shan Hai could ask where he was or what was going on, he saw a girl walking in with a tray filled with delicate and cute snacks. She still smiled faintly and put the snack plate on the table. In addition,
There is also a delicate little porcelain bottle placed on the plate.
"Miss Qi?"
Shan Hai said this, but she didn't look at him. She just bowed slightly to Mu Wan and the others and stood aside.
"So you guys know each other?"
"No, just forget it, this is"
Before he finished speaking, someone's hand suddenly stretched out from behind the couch where he was resting and tapped on his right shoulder. Officer Shanhai felt very worried, so he clamped it with his backhand, and a spell flashed from the fingers of his left hand.
The man's hand speed was even faster, and in an instant the talisman was pulled away by his other hand. Shanhai turned his head, and suddenly gritted his teeth in pain. The man held the talisman between his fingers, put both hands on his shoulders, and said
