Although it is already spring, once night falls, there is still a cold breeze.
The evening wind blew the tree crowns, and the entire mountain road was filled with the rustling sound of leaves. As long as you follow this road until you reach Xueyan Valley, it will not be so cold. Xueyan Valley is always warm, even in winter.
The cold night. But now the road is sealed. The Snow Inkstone Sect never comes in the middle of the night.
Receiving guests from afar in the middle of the night - no matter how far away you come from, it is crucial to ensure that the disciples have a reasonable sleep. Of course, there are night watchmen. If you can't give one here
Even though he had no other reason to visit, they refused to accept him.
"Sneaking in here at night? Like a real thief."
I don't know whether Ye Xuici's words were serious or joking, but She Ji didn't answer. The kid who was noisy and silent along the way had already fallen asleep on his shoulder. A child of this age, if
Even if they close their eyes, no one can wake them up. Moreover, they are always heavy, like dead bodies. Fortunately, She Ji does not lack strength.
"Do you have a better way?"
She Ji glanced at her and bumped the child up.
"I heard that you have been here before and seen Yun Waijing."
In the dark night, Ye Xuici stared at his calm face. If he were an ordinary person, he would not be able to see anything in such a lightless place. However, today's Ye Xuici can no longer be regarded as a human being.
Her eyesight is naturally like a monster. One of her eyes is clear and bright.
.There is no light source now, otherwise if a bit of light shines in her eyes, it will immediately be reflected like a mirror, and their whereabouts will be easily exposed. Although it is not a big deal, originally they were just for the sake of convenience. Who else would let them go?
If you find out, you'll be in trouble.
"That happened a long time ago, so I don't mind mentioning it. At that time, I left a spiritual vein inside Xueyan Valley, but it has long been unusable. It was probably blocked by them. Originally, this place was full of mediocre people...
"
Ye Xuici ignored him for the time being, but lowered his head and stretched one hand to his eyes.
"I can see the Mother Mirror right here."
"How did you pick it off? We haven't found it yet."
"It's no longer useful. Originally, we could only determine a rough position by doing this. Now that we know where the target is, we have to find it ourselves."
She Ji frowned: "Didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It shouldn't be difficult. Aren't you familiar with this place?"
"Are you kidding? In the past few hundred years, even the mountain road into the valley has been built eighteen hundred times. The changes inside must have been earth-shaking. What's more, the god of death is not a vegetarian. Strange to say, he is really honest.
I have been here for so long and have never left Xueyan Valley..."
"What I think is even stranger is another thing." Ye Xuici inspected the fragments on his fingertips and continued, "Xue Yanzong holds the Yun Wai Mirror and knows the secrets of the world. It is bigger than the hands and eyes of the Shadow Pavilion.
.However, there is no rumor that they abused this item, and there is no sign of cheating by using the artifact to become stronger. This is probably a waste of natural resources."
"The name of the mourning god is Xiao, and he is not an economical lamp. He was born in Linxiaoguan, and he followed the ancestor Dan Ning to enlightenment. The way of Taoism is natural, and he will not obey anyone who wants to take advantage of him. I am afraid that this is why
Only then is he willing to stay here. The Xue Yan Sect is really capable, being able to be so patient and making the world think that Yun Waijing has disappeared long ago..."
"Have you seen that pair of mourning gods with your own eyes?" Ye Xuici asked him.
"This question is meaningless," he didn't want to answer. "I only know that I have sacrificed my life for that crap in the past. But at that time, I was not looking for myself, but for the Death Shadow Pavilion. Lord Satsuki is me
There are very few people who respect me, and the needs of Death Shadow Pavilion are my needs. But now, I am not as fanatical as before. I am afraid that is because...compared with simply getting it, whether it can help me achieve my goal is a question.
The matter is still completely unknown.”
"Let's go in now. You must remember Yun Waijing's aura." Ye Xueci got to the point, "Xueyan Valley is heavily guarded. We'd better not scare the snake. Use smoke to stun the few guarding the gate, and we'll immediately
Go in, no matter whether you find it or not, you must leave before dawn, otherwise we may not be able to deal with it inconveniently."
"You're right. At least this little bastard won't make a big fuss like he did during the day, causing most of the masters of the sect to rush out and kick us out. In case you misunderstand, let me tell you in advance that I'm not afraid, but the bloodbath of the sect
I'm afraid this incident will cause that stinky girl Shuangyue Lord to get into trouble with Death Shadow Pavilion."
"Ah, yes, she came out of here." Ye Xuici nodded, "Just pretend that you are not afraid."
She Ji stopped arguing with her and took out a bamboo tube sealed with smoke from his arms.
The moon was sparse, and the cold wind was still blowing. There were many people awake in such a night, and Xue Miyin was one of them. Because she had walked a little far during the day, and friends who were traveling with her met old friends.
, wasting time, they didn’t
They could set off as planned and go directly to Xueyan Valley. So they stayed in this town for one night. After all, when the goal is close in front of you, people tend to relax more easily. Could it be that the destination will have legs of its own, carrying a sect on its back?
Can people run away?
When she went back, Mr. Jiyue had already said goodbye to her friends, but she didn't catch up. After pretending to be sorry for a while, she followed the others absentmindedly until she found a place to stay. They asked her where she was, but she just said she was relaxing.
And because everyone knew why she left the tea table at that time - naturally it was an unhappy topic, so no one asked, which was very convincing. Furthermore, the time she spent communicating with her friends was very short, and there was no physical contact, so
Even Han Chang didn't say much.
Amiao was very quiet, surprisingly quiet, but Miyin was not used to it. Even when he saw Miaomiao, he didn't move. He just looked at her with his round eyes. It was neither kind nor kind.
Hostility. At that time, Miyin even felt that it had its own thoughts in its head, but it was just not willing to speak out. Thinking of this, she sighed deeply.
"Miyin, are you really okay?" Ling Huan, who had already covered herself with a quilt, asked her.
"No, I'm fine... I just walked too long and am a little tired. I just need to rest for a while."
"Okay then, I'm going to turn out the lights."
"Okay."
After that, Ling Huan blew out the candlestick on the bedside, and the whole room fell into darkness. Miyin kept his eyes wide open until he heard his roommate's breathing gradually becoming slower and more even, then he gave two tentative shouts.
.
"Miss Ye? Miss Ye——"
Her voice was not loud, but she was not angry either. After confirming that Ling Huan was asleep, she got up quietly, put on her shoes, put on her coat, and left the inn with brisk steps. As long as she was willing, she would not make the slightest sound.
It would not sound, just like a real cat walking. Amiao also jumped off the bed and trotted away with her until they walked into the woods where they were during the day. They spent more time than during the day
, because the hotel was further away, but Miyin still arrived on time. She wrapped her coat tightly, trying to block the cold wind that surged from time to time. When the wind blew towards Amiao, her fluffy fur was smoothed, and her eyes were smooth.
Squinting tightly and moving forward with difficulty, it looks funny - even though it can actually be completely unaffected by the world. But it is very funny. Miyin will pick it up and carry it in her arms. It likes this.
.
Miaomiao was already there first.
"You are so slow!" she scolded, "If you wait any longer, I will be captured by the bad guys."
"Sorry, it's not easy to wait for them to fall asleep...especially a girl who pays too much attention to me."
"It's great that you have met a new friend." She smiled, "I want to introduce you to me if you have the chance."
"...Not really friends, that's probably what she thinks."
When she said this, Xue Miyin felt somewhat guilty. Although in her heart, her only friend was the innocent child back then, and now the returned dead standing in front of her. But Ye Lingquan
It does have some weight. After all, she can consider herself at every turn, letting her conscience accept unnecessary hugs and being choked. And otherwise...she wouldn't have grabbed Ling Huan's hand at that dangerous moment.
.
"It's a good thing to have friends, why are you so unhappy?" Miaomiao bent down, raised her head, and looked at her slightly drooped eyebrows, "I've been hiding for so many years, but I haven't made a single friend. But... you
Sure enough, he is still the most important person to me. I know that you avenged me that day, right? I obviously didn't let you do such a thing. But I am so happy, I know Mr. Shuangyue is your benefactor, this is so difficult,
I never asked you to do it - you did it anyway."
"You haven't told me yet, why are you hiding? Who is chasing you?" Xue Miyin rarely showed such sincere sorrow, "Do you know that I was actually worried all the way, afraid that I would do you again?
Lost it. I was going to find Yun Waijing and left the place we agreed on last time. I want to find you, really..."
"It's the Six Paths Impermanence - they have been chasing me. As for the reason, I'm worried that if I tell you, you will... not want me."
Miaomiao looked disappointed, and Xue Miyin slapped her thigh:
"Impossible! Are you going to say that you are a monster now?"
Miaomiao's expression was a bit surprised, as if she didn't expect that she would speak so frankly. She nodded slightly and said:
"You react quickly..."
"After such a long time, I should have figured it out." Miyin shook his head helplessly and said, "Since you were seriously injured and are now back intact, you will definitely not be a mortal body. And your spiritual power is like this
Strong...presumably, he has become a monster. But so what? Do you think I will dislike you like this? Who do you think I am..."
"...Thank you, you are so kind."
"Those people - those people who are traveling with me, there is a monster among them. Those three people can be regarded as brothers and sisters, and they never have any grudges because of this kind of thing."
"Just let me go!" Miaomiao suddenly said, "There's nothing important with them, right? Take the knife and your musical instrument. Let's leave here. I will find a way for us to live a better life."
Life!"
Miyin didn't speak, and she suddenly hesitated. Seeing her look like this, Miaomiao frowned and asked:
"You... don't want to live a life of escape with me? Don't worry, it won't take long."
"No, that's not the intention - I told you before that I don't mind and want to help you. It's just..."
After saying that, Miyin turned around and looked at the place where he came from. Amiao was sitting upright in the middle of the path, tilting his head to look at her.
