Lord Jiyue just used a blind trick to temporarily deceive the eyes of the two girls.
Long Miao's hostility towards him has not diminished. He has encountered enough troubles in the past few days. Nowadays, everything is in danger, and there are enemies and snakes everywhere. He won't forgive you just because you robbed him for no reason.
"Hey, don't scare me." Lord Jiyue waved his sleeves, "I don't have the power to restrain a chicken."
"If you have no skills, can you lead me to escape from Zuo Jinmen's men?"
Long Miao stared at him alertly, and he didn't know whether Ji Yuejun could see anything clearly under his eyes. However, it was already night, and in this dark and cold cave, even if he opened his eyes, he couldn't see clearly.
As for himself, Long Miao didn't know why he could see clearly at night.
Maybe because he is a monster?
Maybe not.
Lord Jiyue seemed to be able to guess his thoughts, so he took off the blindfold himself. In the darkness, the two crescent moons in his eyes glowed faintly. Long Miao was surprised. He didn't know whether he was the only one who could see the light, or whether his eyes were so bright.
"Six Paths of Impermanence?" He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "That's fine... I just thought I wanted to alarm you."
"Don't be so discouraged. It's possible. We're here to help you."
Long Miao smiled, making Ji Yuejun a little confused.
"Haha... you? Help me?"
To this day, Mu Wan has not yet made up his mind to return to Xueyan Valley. The corpse of his senior sister is the reason.
Although she knew that Shi Wuqi was fully capable of leading another dead person around like he was commanding Miss Qi, this was unacceptable to her. She looked at Miss Qi and felt that apart from being unable to speak, she was clearly a living person. But Yan Muxue did die, actually died in front of her eyes. It could be said that she died seeing her.
If she still appeared in front of Mu Wan as vividly as before, she felt that she would believe it to be true.
Even now, Mu Wan still has not accepted this fact from the bottom of his heart.
This morning, she was sitting alone in the corner of the first floor. She woke up very early today. Naturally, she still didn't sleep well that night. Mu Wan walked lightly today. When he left the room, it was not completely bright yet. She decided to give her friend an answer today - go back or not. I hope she figures it out just in time for her friends to wake up.
The little black and white guy ran down at some point. She remembered that before she went out, it was curled up between the pillows of the two girls, sleeping in a ball. Perhaps sensing that she was in a bad mood, it ran down and jumped on the table in front of her, making all kinds of funny moves to make people laugh. Mu Wan thought it was cute and smart, and had nothing to do with the fake Taoist priest he met in that gym before and who was supposed to be connected with it.
"Do you want to be my shikigami?" She took out a blank spell from her sleeve, held it between her fingertips and waved it in front of its eyes.
The little thing looked at her blankly, maybe not understanding what she meant. After a while, it seemed to find the dangling note very interesting, jumping up and flapping around like a cat.
Mu Wan still smiled and felt much better. But she was just talking. Spells cannot contain such fluttering little animals - they must be monsters to be contained by charms, paper figures, or other things. Even if it could understand human speech, it would still be hundreds of years early if it really wanted to become her shikigami.
Mu Wan thought of the lost Shishen again. I don’t know if Bai Di really lost it accidentally or if it was stolen by a thief. Although, she didn't really want to doubt the man named Cheng You. She didn't know if she could judge people accurately, but she knew that she could easily be moved by the "goodness" of others. She couldn't tell whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage, so she didn't think about changing it.
Just as she was hesitating to make a choice, an unexpected person broke into the early morning teahouse.
As soon as the waiter opened the door, he bumped into a rash person. The other party was about to knock on the door, but he never wanted to bump into the waiter who pushed the door open. The little guy was startled, and Mu Wan immediately stood up and ran over to check the situation.
"Wow! Damn it, it's a ghost! It's a ghost in broad daylight!"
Before the waiter could stand up, he saw his face and crawled to the backyard. This embarrassing scene made Mu Wan feel strange and felt that he was really rude. So she stepped forward and carefully helped him up.
"Hey, are you okay? Hey, you dropped something..."
The little guy had quick eyes and quick hands. He rushed up to lift something on the ground, jumped up to the table nimbly, and wanted to hand it to the person who was being helped up. At that moment, Mu Wan knew why the waiter was so rude just now.
It was half a horned mask with a red, torn cloth strip tied on it.
"The green ghost girl..."
She looked carefully at her face. Qinggui suddenly raised his hand and covered half of his face with his wide sleeves. Maybe it was because he had scared the waiter just now. Looking at his reaction, Qing Gui was also worried that Mu Wan had been scared away.
"It's okay, it's okay..." Mu Wan quickly took the mask from Ling Weasel's hand and handed it to her, "I'm not afraid! But if you feel uncomfortable, it's okay to put it on first. Why did you come here so early in the morning? …”
Aoki took it with one hand and expertly placed the mask on his face. When she put down her sleeves, her face looked the same as when Mu Wan first saw her. But this time, half of her delicate face was full of anxiety.
"It's not good, Liangqiu, something big happened." She was still breathing heavily as she ran, "The corpse, the corpse..."
The body moved? Or was there something wrong with Wu Qi that caused the body to rot? It shouldn't be possible, so that Aoki, who never likes to go out and lives in darkness all day long, comes running from the center of the city before dawn. It should be something big. But looking at her like this, what could it be?
Mu Wan's heart skipped a beat. At this moment, she thought of almost all possibilities.
"The body is gone!"
Mu Wan's heart went blank.
It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it at that moment, but she quickly rejected the possibility. I don’t know if it’s because she trusts Aoki too much and feels that such a mistake is impossible, or because she is subconsciously afraid of this statement the most, so she ignores it?
"Gone?!"
The person who said this was not Mu Wan, but Shan Hai and Wu Qi who were standing on the steps of the second floor and had not yet walked down.
Shanhai ran all the way down and carefully helped Qinggui sit down and rest. Wu Qi shouted loudly for the waiter to come pour tea. He shouted for a long time, but no one dared to come out. Maybe they were all afraid of this visitor.
"Don't worry, tell me slowly, what's going on?" Shan Hai asked her.
"Last night, I was catching up with some friends and didn't send them off until the middle of the night - two batches of them. When I went downstairs for the last time, I looked there specifically and it was clear that they were still there. When I saw them off, I didn't pay much attention to that place when I went upstairs. When I woke up this morning, I went to check the situation as usual and found that Miss Yan's body had disappeared out of thin air..."
The half of her face became paler and paler, almost becoming the same color as her mask.
Shan Hai also felt very suspicious. He turned around and asked, "Wu Qi, can you sense where her senior sister is going?"
Shi Wuqi shook his head.
"It's impossible. I've always been able to sense Qi, and I can't trace the other people. Why don't we go to the scene now? Maybe there's still some aura left."
They immediately went to the backyard to get the horses, and just as they walked around to the main street, Duan Yuesheng stood at the door at some point, looking blankly at the four people who were getting ready to go.
"Huh? This is... uh, no, Taoist Priest, what are you doing?"
"Duan Shaoxia, I will trouble you to take care of my disciple for the time being." Shan Hai tightened his grip on the reins, "If she wakes up, tell her we will be back soon!"
"Uh, I, you..."
"Don't teach her how to box!"
"Oh...huh??"
Before Duan Yuesheng could react, the others left.
...What kind of thing is it? Where is it?
What Aoki said is true. When they rushed to Fangchun Courtyard and went upstairs, they found that the body lying on the wooden bed was gone. Shi Wuqi said that the smell of herbs here was very strong and it was difficult to tell whether someone had left their breath.
Qinggui said that it was a coincidence that last night, two waves of old friends came to visit her, and the second wave was that the Yun sisters came to reminisce about the past. She saw off the first guest first, chatted with the sisters for a while, and then saw them off. Both times, the waiter downstairs and the watchman outside the door can all testify. By the time she discovered that Yan Muxue had disappeared, it was already the next morning. There was plenty of time during this period, and maybe the body would have been moved away long ago.
They asked around the customers and servants in the store, and no one saw anyone suspicious. They didn't explicitly ask about the hidden body - this would alarm the officials, but judging from everyone's answers, they didn't know there was any body at all, and there were a few people who were very drunk.
"Then, is there anyone who is helping a...drunk girl to leave, wearing this kind of clothes?"
When Shan Hai asked this question, he pointed at Mu Wan. Mu Wan quickly said: "Yes, yes, this body is similar to mine?"
Everyone said that people from Fangchunyuan were coming and going in such a mixed manner that it was impossible to notice. Even if you notice it, you quickly forget it. Now, things are even more troublesome.
Several people were standing at the stairs of the lobby, not knowing what to do and just pacing back and forth.
At this time, a guest came to them.
This is an ordinary man, wearing a clean, snow-white long coat, and his movements are neat and graceful. He came over and saluted them first. Shi Wuqi and Qing Gui, who were leaning on the stairs, straightened up. Mu Wan, who was walking back and forth, also stopped and looked at him. Shanhai saluted him and asked him what he wanted to do.
"Just now I saw a few people walking up and down. Are they looking for someone? By the way, Cangyu, that's very offensive."
"...Yes, yes, Mr. Cang, hello. I'm Lin Shanhai." Shanhai glanced at the people behind him, then turned back, "We are looking for a girl, wearing the same clothes as this girl - Liangqiu girl. That person should She was... drunk, and someone helped her out. She disappeared last night, and we can't find her."
"oh……"
Mr. Cang fanned a white feather fan decorated with feathers, and his bright eyes kept looking around them. Shi Wuqi frowned, slightly tugged on the corner of Shan Hai's clothes, and pulled him back further.
"Be careful, this person has a demonic aura."
"As expected of... Bai Skeleton Master Shi Wuqi."
Mr. Cang not only heard it, but also laughed out loud. Mu Wan immediately put his hand on the handle of the umbrella, and Qing Gui also stared at him, fearing that a monster would cause mischief in his territory.
"Don't be nervous, everyone. I know that what you are looking for is not a person, but a dead person."
He was calm and composed, but the listener was panicked.
"Is it you?!" Mu Wan almost took out the umbrella, but was forced back by Shi Wuqi.
"Listen to him." He glared at the other person, "Let's see what flowers he can tell."
Mr. Cang smiled again, and Shi Wuqi looked at him carefully. Compared to those rich kids who often visit the land of fireworks, his temperament is more like that of an elegant scholar - not as dull as Liangyue-kun. What's more, he is a monster, and he doesn't look like a regular visitor to Fangchunyuan.
Maybe he waited here on purpose.
