In the midst of anxiety, stones suddenly rained down from the sky.
Countless stones rolled down from above, the big ones were bigger than the head, and the small ones were as wide as a palm. They fell from an unknown height, smashed through the roof, and damaged the house beyond recognition.
Then, more stones fell down, the entire roof was completely destroyed, and even the beams were broken in half. In the midst of the swirling dust, Shanhai hugged Aluan tightly and squeezed into a relatively safe and stable place in the corner.
While he was busy protecting himself, he was thinking quickly in his mind.
Could it be... Tengu Li?
Shuanzi was suddenly hit in the foot by a small stone. No matter how he moved, he could not move the stone away. More stones fell on its head and body. As if it couldn't bear the pain, a white ghost came out of Shuanzi's body. At this time, a beam collapsed, Shanhai hugged Aluan tightly and buried his head.
Those things look like rocks, but they don't seem to be. Their color is very strange, gray or gray, white or white, and there are many wonderful colors. Some gravel rolled to his feet, and he realized that it was not a stone.
But ice.
After a while, he slightly raised his face from under his arms. While squinting among the flying dust, he vaguely saw another white shadow among the gravel and dust scattered in the sky. The shadow really looked like a dog, but it had a red eagle face. I didn't know whether the long protruding thing in front was a beak or a nose. It also had a pair of huge black wings. When it saw the fleeing ghost, it only had to flap its wings to catch up, open its bloody mouth and bite it tightly, swinging it like a wolf and biting violently. .
When the dust in front of me was about to clear away, the outline of the dog gradually became clear. But before the mountains and sea could be seen clearly, the dog and the karma ghost turned into a ray of light, twisted twice in the air, and were taken back by someone standing on the wall.
"...Liang, Miss Liangqiu?"
Shan Hai sighed in disbelief. In surprise, he stared at Liang Qiu's folded umbrella.
"...Could he be a fellow-traveler?"
Seeing him staring at the umbrella, Mu Wan shook it and put it away in the bucket.
"The name of this umbrella, 'Ye Yinlu', does it sound good? I picked it up blindly. Comrades... don't dare to take it. You and I are both onmyojis, but I know that you are an exorcist, but I am doing the job of conquering demons. I don’t know if the ghost has been torn into pieces, but if it is, it can’t be used.”
"Thank you so much for saving me... But, that child..."
"I don't dare to take it seriously. I know you have a way, but you just can't be cruel. You exorcists always have superfluous sympathy for ghosts, which I don't understand. I'm not here for you. I just want to help you. Just treat it as such. Return the favor to the fortune teller."
Her voice was clear and cold. Although her life was saved, Master Lin could not hear the kindness. He turned to look at the child. Aluan, who had regained his composure, ran over and pushed away the stone that was holding him down. However, Shuanzi still seemed to be unconscious.
Ah Luan sniffed, felt his pulse, and said, "I'm alive, but I'm afraid I can't save these two legs."
"That's a life!" Shan Hai turned to her and said.
"...I don't know, I just thought it was an evil spirit." She frowned, "But if you can't save your own life, do you still have the time to take care of others?"
At this moment, there were noisy sounds on the street again. Afraid of seeing this spectacle from a distance, the villagers swarmed over again. He wanted to say something to the demon envoy, but when he turned his head, he found that she was gone.
Under the shouts and crowds of people, Shan Hai's consciousness was somewhat in a trance.
When we returned to the city, the outline of the moon in the sky had become clear. As soon as Aluan was settled in the room, he went down to the next floor to report to Mr. Pei. As a result, troubles came one after another - Mr. Pei didn't buy it. It wasn't that he was untrustworthy, but he said that the demon had been dealt with by another Onmyoji. The bounty naturally fell into her hands.
"She let out a big dog, it was so scary! I thought that was the culprit, but she said no, so I took a closer look at its mouth. There was something bloody and bloody, who knows what it was. It's so dirty! But early in the afternoon, someone sent news that the evil ghost had been captured and the people who had been possessed by the evil spirit were all well, so of course I gave her the money to settle the knot!"
"...You didn't tell me that you hired anyone else."
"Hey, it's just a matter of whoever does it! It's hard work for you, Mr. Immortal, please take your children to have a rest early! It's a big deal for me!"
Lin Shanhai didn't do it for the reward, he just felt that it wasn't worth it.
The confession gained by losing one's life in shame is nothing in the eyes of an official. The suffering of countless ordinary people is never something they bring to the table.
He came out frustrated and sighed deeply. After a night's rest, it's time to set off tomorrow. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid all my belongings will be thrown into this shop, and I'll be ready to go home.
At this time, some hidden weapon was thrown this way. Shanhai raised his hand and caught it. Although it is a bit annoying, it is not difficult to notice it.
It's a bag.
Shaking the bag in his hand, Shan Hai felt it was heavy. Although it was small, it didn't look like scraps of silver. It might have been gold.
"Just take it." The disciple of the Snow Inkstone Sect also leaned on the railing. "I just took advantage. Being able to draw it out is also your credit."
"Just keep it yourself. You know, if it gets into my hands, I won't use it."
Shan Hai handed over the bag, but Mu Wan didn't buy it.
"That's natural. If you use it, I won't give it to you."
It seems that she also knows that if the money is really collected by Shanhai, it will be exchanged for broken silver and copper plates and distributed to poor families in the farming area. At least she knew who should pay for the widow's house and the money to raise Shuanzi for the rest of his life.
"...You said you are a disciple of the Xue Yan Sect."
Shan Hai put away the money bag and looked at her carefully. Only then did he notice that even the chivalrous girl's hairband was lightly printed with the snowflake pattern of the family emblem. The bruise on her face has faded a lot and cannot be noticed unless you look closely.
"I can still lie to you."
"I'm offended...but the master of Xueyan Sect has stopped accepting disciples for a long time. Could it be that you are passing on another disciple?"
"No," she interrupted him, "I am his disciple, and I am also a closed disciple. From now on, he will indeed no longer accept disciples."
"Then...I heard a few days ago..."
"To tell you the truth, the person I asked you to find is indeed his old man. I have seen that you come from a well-known and upright family, and you are an upright and upright man. If you were an outsider, I would never admit it."
Speaking of this, he vaguely felt that there were some different emotions in Mu Wan's eyes. Although it was only for a moment, this expression was hidden by her immediately, like dew hiding under the leaves. But Shan Hai is very familiar with this kind of mood. He also has such feelings for his master and mistress.
All living beings suffer.
"Rin Daochang is so blessed—"
You don't have to turn around to know who it is. It turned out that Aluan couldn't sit still in the room and secretly went upstairs to find Lord Jiyue. As for him, he naturally overheard the conversation between Shanhai, Pei Yuanwai, and Liangqiu Muwan. Even so, he still teased like this:
"When will you treat me to a wedding?"
For some reason, Mu Wan didn't have a good impression of the visitor. That's not what he said. She could hear the joke. It's not surprising for a woman to be teased by the mob when she travels around the world. It's just that this person gave her a subtle sense of familiarity. But she knew that she had never seen him.
"Gather your morals" Shan Hai turned around, "This is the girl from Liangqiu. She saved my life when I was dealing with the karma ghost. Now she's giving me the rewards to share with the people. If you have anything to do, go upstairs and talk about it. We can't avoid it here." It’s too noisy.”
The three of them went upstairs, and Mu Wan stared at him all the way. Opening the door, Aluan had already poured three cups of tea. He was a little surprised to see the new guest, but he still poured her a cup of tea. There was a white fox lying next to Ah Luan. I don't know where it came from, but it must have been brought by Ji Yuejun, who liked little monsters.
I sorted through the whole story of the incident and told him the whole story in a serious manner. Mu Wan didn't interrupt, but just raised his ears to listen. Ah Luan took out a piece of rope from somewhere and started twisting the yarn with her. The little white fox stared in the middle with interest.
"The spiritual veins have been controlled. Have you seen this white fox?" Lord Jiyue pointed at the fox, "That is one of He Shen's shikigami, and it was sealed in the forest by someone. I looked for it specially and broke it. That formation. However, just from the ordinary sealing technique, I can’t tell who did it. Even if I ask the fox, I don’t know. It led me to the Hungry Ghost Path to retrieve the God of Wo. I believe that not long after, Huansha City will be there again. It will become as peaceful and prosperous as before."
Shan Hai nodded and said abruptly: "I didn't expect you to know how to do something serious."
Lord Jiyue did not quarrel with him, but continued to say that there was another shikigami, a raccoon dog.
"Did you find it?"
"Humph..." He smiled, stretched out his sleeves, and nodded toward the ground.
"Pei, Mr. Pei...?"
A Luan suddenly turned his head, with a look of surprise on his face. Shan Hai and Mu Wan had the same reaction. Mr. Jiyue nodded and continued:
"The raccoon boy was also bewitched. He was replaced by the real member Pei, and his temper was exactly the same. The real member Pei was locked up in the wine cellar, and it was the white fox who led me there. What you just saw is actually My Lord. I replaced their memories so as not to expose any flaws. How about it, even you didn’t notice it?"
The more Mu Wan listened, the more strange he felt.
"From now on, the Hungry Ghost Path you mentioned and the method of memory replacement are not spells that ordinary people can use. What on earth are you..."
Shan Hai looked at him, Ji Yuejun seemed to have no intention of concealing his identity. So he raised his hand and introduced to Mu Wan:
"I forgot to mention, this is Master Sui Mulong, Mr. Jiyue."
"...Jiyue, Jun?"
"Well, Mu Wan has never heard of walking in impermanence." A Luan took out the flower thread from her frozen hand, "He is one of the twelve people who walk in the six paths."
"You are... Huangquan December."
"Exactly."
In an instant, Mu Wan stepped onto the table with lightning speed. The tea cup on the table suddenly staggered and the tea spilled all over the floor. Several people were shocked, and even the little fox couldn't sit still. She didn't know when she put the umbrella under Ji Yuejun's chin, and grabbed his collar tightly with her other hand, looking fiercely. This look was something they had never seen before.
"Six Paths of Impermanence, you can make it easy for me to find."
