Chapter ninety-two: all previous efforts have been abandoned
Shui Wujun walked along the empty path and walked towards the place where the buildings gradually became denser. The lives of the townspeople were as busy as ever. The huts and courtyards on the edge had been abandoned for a while, although they were not in this severe cold winter.
Weeds are growing, but it has snowed recently, and this is the only courtyard
There is still snow that has not been cleared inside. There is a thick layer of white on the small house, as if it will be crushed at any time. The broken tree has disappeared, leaving only a stump. Probably, it was built by someone.
Use it as firewood. In a season like this, people won't waste anything that can keep them warm.
After walking through this house, the atmosphere of the New Year began to get thicker. It was still celebrating the New Year, and the town was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. The further inside, the more lively it became. She wanted to go to a house, but she felt that it was not good to go empty-handed. She should
Buy some things. But she never knew how to choose gifts, so she silently considered whether it would be best to just keep the money. She stopped in front of a pork shop
For a while, this was one of the few places still open during the New Year. She was still hesitating, but when the shop owner saw her, his face was not very good. When the last customer just left, he was still smiling, but when he saw the water without water on the roadside,
Jun, his expression was completely frozen. But he quickly reacted and greeted him diligently. At this time, Shui Wujun felt that it was not appropriate not to buy, so he was picking and choosing in front of the stall.
"I haven't seen you for a while..."
"Hmm. Please help me weigh that piece of pork belly. Whether it is fat or thin, the elderly and children can eat it."
"...Hey, okay."
He seemed to want to say something else, but he didn't say it in the end. He quickly tied up the weighed meat and handed it to Shui Wujun, then continued to smile and stopped talking.
"I haven't said how much it will cost yet."
"Uh, well, no more money, that's right."
Shui Wujun frowned slightly, naturally feeling that this was inappropriate, but she stopped arguing with the stall owner and left with more silver than she should have given. Everyone else showed a kind of expression when they saw her.
There was an indescribable look on his face, as if everyone was guarding a common secret, except Shui Wujun. Even occasionally, Shui Wujun was an outsider.
Anyone who meets her eyes will immediately look away. She has long noticed the strangeness due to her keenness, but she knows that the people in this town are simple and simple, and no one would want to harm her. I am afraid that everyone will encounter some trouble. I heard that many other people have
In this place, there are corpses coming to life and attacking humans, but it is still safe here - for the time being.
When she walked towards the familiar house, the old woman was sitting at the door basking in the sun. But her face was very poor, very pale, bloodless, and she looked sad, just like the broken tree on the edge of the town.
. Couplets were pasted in front of other people's houses, and lanterns and red peppers were hung up, but her place was deserted, just like the desolate hut when she came. Shui Wujun walked towards her, old
The woman should have raised her head to say hello, but she didn't. She still sat there with her head lowered, and no one could catch her eyes. It wasn't until Shui Wujun stood completely in front of her that the old woman slowly
, slowly raised her head, her movements as stiff as an ice sculpture. There was no snow swept around the yard. I wonder if she was too busy or was not in good health and could not take care of the yard.
When she saw Shui Wujun, her face suddenly turned red, but it didn't turn red for a while, and then it turned white again, and then it turned green again. It didn't take long for her face to look like a human being. Shui Wujun just said that something was wrong,
The old woman grabbed her hand with such force that it felt like she was going to break her bones.
"Gone... the girl is gone - gone!"
It can't be called a bolt from the blue, because this kind of thing is in line with the reaction of people on the street. They were all afraid that they would be shocked, sad, or furious if they knew about this incident. In fact, Shui Wujun was not at that time
This idea did not come up, but was killed by herself in time. She always felt that it could not happen. This town is Shuangyue
The place that Jun introduced to her in the past was very remote, but the products were abundant and people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Such bizarre things should not have happened. After the old woman admitted it personally, she had to reconsider the idea of strangling and burying it.
He dug it out of the soil, patted the dust, and tried to make it clear again. Shui Wujun calmed down and asked with difficulty:
"When did it happen?"
"Just...three or four days ago!"
She grabbed the old woman's skinny hand, and it looked like there was no flesh and blood under the skin. She looked like she hadn't eaten properly for more than three days. When Shui Wujun left last time, she still had a full head of black hair.
It turned gray. The old woman must be having a hard time these days. She can't make things difficult for her anymore.
"You take the meat first, and we'll go into the house and talk."
The old woman stretched out her hand stiffly, as if handing over a branch, asking Shui Wujun to hang the thing. But as soon as she took a little weight, her hand couldn't stop shaking, and the flesh fell off immediately, and it was covered with dust.
. She was about to bend down to pick it up, but Shui Wujun was a step ahead of her, carrying the thing and helping her back to the cold room.
After some difficult recollections of the old woman, the matter became somewhat clear. Ye Yinquan had no abnormality before his disappearance. He went to bed early and got up early as before. He also helped her choose vegetables and fetch water when he had time. He was in his twenties.
A living person cannot just disappear for nothing. But
The public security here is good. In other words, people are not evil-minded and things like kidnapping and trafficking should not happen. If outsiders come here, the enthusiastic people will definitely tell them. So there are no clues so far, Ye Yinquan
This girl just evaporated for nothing.
"If you disappear overnight..."
Shui Wujun had an idea, maybe she walked by herself. People here get up very early and go to bed very early, so when it gets dark, there is no one on the street. But where can she go? She
Where do you want to go again? Even if you have any plans, you should wait until you come and say hello. She is a well-behaved girl.
, I don’t make my own decisions, maybe I was deceived by someone... But the townspeople said that no one has appeared recently. But it is also possible that the bad guys are hiding their actions? There are too many possibilities for this matter, and Shui Wujun’s mind is also
It was a mess. But she had no choice but to comfort the old woman and let her let go of this knot first.
The old woman whined, but had no tears. She probably cried herself to death in the past two days. She liked this girl so much, and she felt uncomfortable losing her because of her negligence. She
Just sobbing and lamenting.
"But what should I do? I heard that in the city outside, there are moving corpses everywhere, trying to eat people..."
"That's not the case" - should Shui Wujun say this? She rarely lies to people, almost never. In the past days, she only needed to pay to kill people, and she didn't need to do any other unnecessary things. Language
The art of art was something that she had to understand after she died and became impermanent. But she was still not good at it.
Lying. Although there are only a few scattered areas affected at present, she cannot guarantee that these things will not become more dangerous and wider in the future. The strange thing is that Yama Demon does not have any orders now, perhaps because he feels that the situation is
It's not critical yet to the point where it needs to be dealt with by impermanence.
But if it's more serious, where should they start?
Shui Wujun has nothing to do now, but she doesn’t know when Black and White Wuchang will send her a message next time. She must find her within a limited time, ensure her safety, and find out her situation. Shui Wujun left that day.
Town, walk out along the only road. She came from the spiritual vein, but
Yin Huan does not have the ability to travel through spiritual veins. As long as she calculates the distance of three or four days according to the movement trajectory of a normal person, she should be able to determine her location. Shui Wujun's Qinggong is very good. After becoming an Impermanent Ghost, his physical strength is no longer
As fragile as a mortal, she can be faster than any good horse.
Despite this, she still searched for ten days and ten nights.
The New Year's holiday had ended long ago, and people returned to their jobs one after another. She passed by two big cities, four small villages, three vast woodlands, and a big mountain, but she didn't find out about Yin Huan.
.Neither are these places
Instead of a straight line, it was an arc, with the radius roughly taking the four days of a little girl's journey. She found nothing, and she was so anxious that she could not sleep peacefully. Although the six paths of impermanence did not require sleep, she still felt indescribable fatigue.
.
For hundreds of years, many things have made her feel powerless. The failed missions, the people who cannot be saved, all the injustices on this land - whether humans or monsters. Famine, war, plague, natural disasters...everyone in the world...
All kinds of accidents happen all the time in the corner,
These accidents will ferment and turn into a complete tragedy. Some of them did not have to happen, and some of them she could still prevent. Sometimes the fate of one or two little people can turn everything upside down. She has long understood this. However,
She still felt tired as never before...
Yin Huan is such a key person. The adult once said that she needs unprecedented attention and protection, and what he has to do is to accompany her and try to solve this curse that may lead to misfortune. This is no different than any large-scale
Disasters should be easy and simple. Although, the Lord’s
The information given is still not clear enough... but it is always the case. The adult only needs to give the appropriate order to the appropriate person. No matter what that person does, he can almost make things develop in the most perfect direction, regardless of himself.
Willingness - this is the vision of the Lord of Naraku.
Is this mission about to fail in her hands?
No...it shouldn't have ended like this. Shui Wujun spent longer and went further. Every few miles she took, the area she needed to search would be wider than before. She was here again
In a mountainous area, as before, she inquired from local well-informed people or monsters. As before, she found nothing. However, she still decided to stay here for a while, because her underworld bell resonated with someone unknown.
There is an Impermanence of the Six Paths nearby.
It's always good to have one more person she can ask for help, although she has never been good at doing so in the past. Although she doesn't have many opportunities to meet her colleagues in the Six Paths Impermanence, both of them have great powers and can always help.
The area around here is considered desolate, with only a few small villages at the foot of the mountain. Together, they are not as big as the largest village she has seen during this trip. Those people can't give her any effective information, or even
Many people don’t even know what the Six Paths of Impermanence are.
There are still such people in this day and age, and indeed they can be considered ignorant.
