The candle on the table was clearly extinguished.
She Ji pointed at the corpse on the table and said nothing more. It was still alive before, with skin like gelatin, warm and soft. But now, without the protection of spiritual power, the corpse has begun to stiffen under the low temperature, and it will not last long before it rots.
"There is obviously Xue Mo in her room." The other man gritted his teeth, "But how come there is no letter on her body?!"
She Ji unhurriedly rolled up her broken hair on her forehead and said leisurely:
"Maybe they were taken away a long time ago. But they will come back."
They will always come back.
The man's voice was stern: "Then it's too late. We can't let her see anything. What should we do? Continue to entrust Zuo Zhenmen? It's a pity that I can't trust them now."
"Don't ask me." She Ji smiled, "Don't you have the final say here? Show some signs."
"...There is no other way. Then tell them and continue to investigate. They should be responsible for this mistake."
After that, he shook his green clothes and prepared to leave the room with a cold face.
"Yes, yes...wait" he called him, "What to do with the body?"
"...It's okay to eat."
She Ji narrowed her eyes slightly and raised the corners of her mouth, as if she had gotten the ideal answer. But he still said this:
"Tsk, I don't have any friendship from the same family as before. After all, I grew up with you. How cold-blooded."
He was unhappy to be called cold-blooded by a cold-blooded animal. What's more, he knew that his answer was what the other party expected.
"Didn't you teach me that?"
"Well...you studied well."
One candle is extinguished and the other is still burning.
In the teahouse under the eaves, several people have not yet rested.
At that critical moment, Mu Wan held up an umbrella and used Ye Yinlu's demon power to block them. The power of this umbrella alone was not enough. At the same time, Xun also opened a barrier to save them.
But at this moment, Mu Wan had already fallen asleep, and the little guy tried his best to change back to his original shape. Shan Hai carefully placed it next to Mu Wan's pillow. Shi Wuqi leaned against the door, glanced inside the house, and then at Duan Yuesheng's door. The door was half open, and Dai Luan was listening to Duan Yuesheng's talk, which was full of excitement and magic. Wu Qi waved to Shan Hai, signaling him to come out as soon as possible.
Before the two returned to the house, Shanhai shouted to Dailuan, asking her to go back and rest early.
"Okay. It's getting late, you should go to bed early." Duan Yuesheng added hesitantly, "... take care of her."
Dai Luan, who walked to the door, rolled her eyes at him, as if to say, "Do you still need to tell me?"
Shan Hai closed the door, but kept mumbling without rest.
"We won't be able to go to Xueyan Valley for a while. Lord Jiyue said that they won't leave for the time being, but I don't know if they can be of any help. We are... a little bit behind in terms of strength. Maybe we can make up for it strategically. We have no plans during the day today. , it’s too chaotic, she’s still in an emotional state, which is inevitable. Wait until tomorrow... are you listening? "
Shanhai looked at Shi Wuqi, who was in a daze.
"Ah...I" he came back to his senses, "I'm listening."
"Yes... you are listening. I am asking, what are you thinking about?"
"regret."
"……Um?"
Shan Hai didn't know clearly. What Shi Wuqi meant was that he regretted following them all the way so that these annoying things happened; or that she regretted not being able to save Qing Gui so that Mu Wan could feel better. Until now, Taoist Master Lin could not claim that he fully understood the Baiskeleton Master.
What's more, he doesn't even understand himself.
Shi Wuqi took out a small pill: "Do you recognize this?"
"This is... the Resurrection Pill? You actually have this." Shan Hai was surprised.
"In the first seven days, it is useful for people to eat it. I hesitated before, wondering whether I should give it to Yan Muxue... You know, this can only make people wake up for a while and say something, but it can't really bring them back to life. . But for Mu Wan, it should be enough. At least... she can know the answer she wants and have time to say goodbye. "
Now, she didn't even have the chance to say goodbye to the body.
"Are you regretting...not being able to make a decision before the body was stolen?"
"Um."
After getting a positive answer, Shan Hai didn't know what to say. After saying it, Wu Qi felt a little relaxed. He said as calmly as possible:
"I hate myself for being so hesitant. I thought I had seven days to think about it. Consider...whether it's worth it."
"So, have you thought about it?"
"Okay, it's late."
"It's okay, it's not your fault," Shan Hai said softly, "You always have your own plans, but I believe in you. You really don't have this obligation, but you can make this consideration... How should I put it, I want to thank you on her behalf. .”
Shi Wuqi laughed.
"Don't thank me, it's not worth it. But... I'm sorry."
"...I can't forgive you for her."
"I know."
The night passed so long, so long that the regrets piled up on top of each other.
The night passed so briefly that it was too short to get rid of the pile of regrets.
It's finally dawn.
Ye Yuejun is a person who can sort out his emotions very quickly. When she was still a monster, she already knew how long the time she had was compared to humans. In such a long time, there is enough time for her to digest it slowly. But when you know it will all be let go, the length of time becomes irrelevant.
Her friendship with Qinggui didn't last too long. From the first moment they met, she knew the origin of Aoki. Now, she may become a real ghost. Ye Yuejun is not sure how she feels when she leaves. If her resentment is too strong, she must find the mask tied with red satin and overcome it to avoid future troubles.
Furthermore, it is for commemoration.
Early in the morning, a few people were sitting downstairs drinking hot tea. Mr. Shi had some knowledge of tea ceremony, but now, he just felt it was boring and just a pinch of bitter water. The others didn't speak and just drank tea. Ah Luan rubbed her eyes, held Xun in one hand as if holding a pillow, and staggered down the stairs.
Lord Jiyue said to them: "I discussed it with Mu Ranyanlai, and after learning that you were going to Snow Inkstone Valley, she offered to help you go back."
"Mr. Ye Yue is kind-hearted and I'm very grateful. But, how can you help us?" Shan Hai asked.
"Originally, I thought she could dispatch a group of birds to help you. But Xueyan Valley is in the far northwest of Wule City, and the birds all go south to spend the winter. This method doesn't work. After thinking about it, we decided to use Huangquan Bell. Escort you through the six spiritual veins."
Shi Wuqi frowned slightly: "Isn't it a bit risky?"
"Our two bells can keep the four of you safe."
"What about me? What about me?"
Duan Yuesheng asked excitedly, Shi Wuqi rolled his eyes at him: "Are you not going back to the escort agency?"
"I was born to like extraordinary things. What's more, I broke three swords, but they are all related to you - but I, Mr. Duan, have a lot, and I don't care about you. This kid surnamed Tang will not care about it. "Go on. But I'm not good at finding people. Maybe I can catch some clues by following you." Then, his voice became softer, "And I heard that the water and soil of Xueyan Valley support people, and there are so many beauties, maybe...hehe."
As expected of you. Three people slandered.
"Oh, why are you rolling your eyes at me? I've reached the age where I should be looking for a wife. You guys are not good at it. Besides the four of us, there are three more upstairs!"
Shan Hai and Ji Yuejun looked at each other, and the latter quickly realized that he did not yet know the identity of Miss Qi's body. He cleared his throat and said seriously:
"What she said...I'm not sure. After all, this bell has only been used to escort strangers. But together, the two bells may still have some power. As for Duan Shaoxia..."
Shi Wuqi patted him on the shoulder: "I'll leave that boy surnamed Tang to you. You're an escort, so the road is wide. Come on, we believe in you, you can do it."
"...I can do whatever it takes, but I can't!"
"Men don't say they can't do it."
"Hey, do you feel bad if you don't fuck with me?"
"Shanhai, what are they talking about?"
"Ignore them. Go call Liangqiu and see how she is doing. If she recovers a little, tell her the good news."
Dai Luan nodded obediently, holding the long Xun with both arms. It is still asleep, but its tail is dragging to the ground. She ran upstairs, her little legs thumping all the way on the steps.
The four people fell silent and let out varying degrees of sighs.
But not long after he calmed down, a scream came from upstairs. The voice was obviously Aluan's, and they all straightened up as if they were electrocuted. She suddenly rushed back, seemingly unscathed, which was a relief. But she looked very awake and frightened, as if she had seen some terrible scene.
"There are two people - no, missing!"
"Miss Liangqiu is missing?!" Duan Yuesheng screamed.
"No, it's... the letter is missing! The house was in such a mess, she was still asleep and couldn't wake up!" She stumbled and said, "The two female assassins, the house and my medicine box were turned over - —They jumped through the window and ran away, but I heard Qingxian asking her to take the letter!"
Xun Zao opened his eyes and expressed dissatisfaction with Aluan's strength. He struggled violently and finally managed to escape from her arms. It rushed downstairs, sniffed around, and suddenly ran away across the room.
"I'll chase him!"
Lord Jiyue seemed to have seen all this and quickly stood up and rushed upstairs. Duan Yuesheng also climbed over the table and followed with long strides. He turned around and shouted to them: "I'll chase them too, please take care of the two girls!"
When Xun was still a lone weasel, he had short legs and could run very fast. Ji Yuejun and Duan Yuesheng are not slow either. Xunming ran along the wall and climbed over the roofs. In the distance, Duan Yuesheng did see two agile figures, one green and one pink. In front of a tall building, they suddenly split into two groups and ran to the left and right.
Duan Yuesheng said to Lord Jiyue:
"I heard that the one in pink is Qingzhan, and the one in green is Qingxian; one mouth can't speak, and the other can't hear. Since those words were said by Qingxian, the letter should be with the girl in pink and white. Take your time Run, I’m going to be one step ahead of you!”
"Duan Shaoxia, wait!"
"time does not wait!"
After saying that, Duan Yuesheng increased the speed of his feet, one step at a time, almost flying briskly. He stared at Qingzhan's back and his eyes turned red. But the girl's body was too light and nimble, and the distance between them was quickly shortened. In terms of explosive power, he has always been somewhat confident in himself, but it is really too much to keep running like this. There was a big tree on the wall in front of him. He suddenly had an idea and pulled out the half-broken knife and threw it hard.
The girl in pink had just ran across the tree, but the hem of her clothes was nailed tightly to the trunk. In order to facilitate movement, the material of the clothes was very strong, so he pulled her back, twisted her legs, and sat on the wall.
"Ah!" She shouted subconsciously because of the pain.
"I asked you to run, but you can't run away now -"
Duan Yuesheng slowed down and moved forward. But the moment he looked at this girl, he realized something was not quite right in her cold eyes.
"Wait, wait a minute, you can talk?"
