At night, Mu Wan hid on the rooftop alone and refused to let anyone find her.
Although Dai Luan repeatedly called her down below to go back and rest, she turned a deaf ear. Not to mention Shan Hai and Wu Qi, they couldn't persuade him. The cause of the current embarrassing situation is naturally related to what happened during the day.
First, Gao Yuejun said that Xie Hualing did not have poison in his body, which was a joke by She Ji. And when she said these words, the audience showed an unprecedented anger. This was stranger than a real poison. Lord Satsuki said she couldn't understand it. Whether it was true or not, they could hardly decide, and even if they asked her repeatedly, she would deny it. Mu Wan even asked She Ji to show up for a confrontation, but Gao Yuejun said that he was not here, but she could guarantee it as the real master of the pavilion.
When the thought of this disaster arises in people's hearts, something more terrifying than poison or plague has already begun to spread.
It's called human speech. And people's words are scary.
The second reason is that Mu Wan did not ask Lord Gaoyue for the antidote to the Tengu.
This doesn’t seem to be explained solely by ego arguments. Mu Wan seemed to have made up his mind from the beginning. Even when he came to Death Shadow Pavilion, he didn't mention anything about the shikigami. She didn't know if it was a psychological effect, but she felt Lord Satsuki's eyes glance at her several times, with a hint of inquiry - asking her if she had any other questions. But the Master of the Death Shadow Pavilion is very cunning. You don't tell her, and she doesn't ask. They just hang on each other like that, and no one can let go.
When he was about to leave, Shanhai kindly reminded Mu Wan, but she did not speak. Mu Wan was hesitant at first, but Gao Yuejun didn't press her and just looked at her with interest. Lin Shanhai was not stupid, he knew that she had already made up her mind, and Shi Wuqi didn't say anything else in front of Gao Yuejun. Dai Luan felt strange and was about to say something, but was persuaded to go back by a look from Wu Qi, so she gave up.
According to Shi Wuqi's attitude towards Gao Yuejun, he gave Mu Wan enough face. But as soon as he left the Death Shadow Pavilion, he asked faster than Shan Hai:
"Why didn't you say a word about the Tengu?"
"She knows everything. The look in her eyes when A Luan mentioned Gui Tan was also meaningful. There is nothing she doesn't know. I don't need to say it. It's just humiliating myself."
"Since she knows everything, why don't you keep asking?" Shi Wuqi frowned, "Are you going to give up your shikigami and your identity as an onmyoji?"
To say that Shi Wuqi had been holding it in for a long time, it was not easy for him to have the consciousness not to quarrel in front of "outsiders". But on this topic, Mu Wan didn't appreciate it.
"Tengu is different!" she shouted loudly, not caring whether Satsuki-kun could hear it, "it's not an ordinary shikigami, it would be better if it was that simple. Do you know? I've been dreaming these days. In my dreams The tengu chased me, with his mouth wide open, accusing me of being unworthy of being a good master and not qualified to be a demon servant. When I wake up, I have to face your accusations. Aren't I tired?"
"But you are avoiding the problem." He hit the nail on the head. "I heard what happened when you returned to Xueyan Valley. I thought you had grown up and could distinguish right from wrong and be more decisive. But no - from this The thing is, I don’t see you growing at all.”
"What does it have to do with you whether I grow up or not? Are you my father or my mother? If you were really my brother, I would fight with you right now. I can't afford to bet, you know? I can't afford to bet! Mine Life is worthless, really, worthless. But I don’t want to die in such an unknown way! How can I explain to my mother and my brother? How can I have the face to see my father when I am under the Nine Springs? What do you know? You weren't there when we needed you, you weren't involved in our past... you don't understand anything."
The master and apprentice who tried to break up the fight also fell silent. What she said was correct, but it was definitely not something Shi Wuqi did intentionally. It was a bit heartbreaking to say this, and it could be seen from Mu Wan's expression that she regretted it after saying it.
This is so inappropriate. You obviously think you have grown up a bit, how could you make such a childish mistake?
Shi Wuqi said nothing. The evening breeze blew across his face, lifting strands of long hair. Speaking of which, his hair has also grown a lot. I don't know how long he spent with Miss Qi in that dark world. If no one could speak, ordinary people would quickly go crazy, right? He is the only living person, doesn't he fight for survival and freedom all day long?
His face looked a little tired.
"Well, I don't understand." He took a deep breath, "I have no memory of the past, and no impression of my family. I only remember Qi, and I forgot whether she was a human or a monster. Indeed, the joys and sorrows of the world have nothing to do with me. The emotions are connected. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those words."
He didn't mention the part of Mu Wan's words that really hurt him, cleverly bypassing the forced separation. In fact, he didn't even show any intention of blaming him, and he frankly admitted his unwarranted mistake. This made Mu Wan's heart even more congested. Maybe Shi Wuqi and her could have a direct quarrel and the two of them would be able to relieve their anger. But they didn't. Shi didn't give her this chance.
Even Shan Hai and A Luan couldn't tell whether all this was the perfect acting skills of Bai Skeleton Master or the words from the bottom of his heart.
After that, several people fell silent and returned to the inn in silence. It was already very late when they went back, and they didn't even realize they had spent so long in Death Shadow Pavilion. I casually ordered some cold dishes for dinner, but Mu Wan didn't eat them and went straight upstairs. Aluan went to call, but he didn't see her in the house either. After hearing what the handyman said, she ran to the top of the building so that no one could come up to disturb her.
A Luan ran down to report that Shan Hai felt a little resentful that iron could not turn into steel. He sighed and said don't care about her, you have what you want. In fact, none of them ate much.
The night is getting deeper. There is no moon tonight, and the long clouds cover all the light sources in the sky. A few drizzles fell and fell on her face, feeling cold and stinging. Finally, this faint numbness covered the entire face, making Mu Wan feel like he was wearing a mask, and his hands were as stiff as wearing gloves. She wasn't cold, she just kept sitting on the eaves with her knees hugged for too long.
After a while, the cold feeling completely disappeared. Mu Wan thought he was finally freezing, but no. When she raised her sore neck, she saw Miss Qi opening up her clothes and building a small shed with her arms to cover them inside. I don’t know when it came, and I didn’t notice it at all. Are you too relaxed or too relieved?
It was obvious that she could borrow an umbrella from the store, but she didn't have one - he didn't have one.
"...Do you want to sit here?"
Mu Wan opened her mouth, and the long silence made her throat hurt slightly. So Miss Qi sat down and put the clothes on her head. Speaking of which, Mu Wan could smell the faint fragrance of Aqi as long as he got closer. It's not an ordinary evil spirit, it's just a simple incense. It may be used for antiseptic measures. It smells a bit like damp wood, like earth after rain, a fresh and natural scent.
"I shouldn't have said that before." Mu Wan said, "At least... I didn't mean that."
Ah Qi just stared blankly ahead and nodded slightly to her speech. Mu Wan wasn't sure whether Shi Wuqi could really hear every word spoken in this place. But she didn’t want to hold it in any longer, so she continued:
"I know this may not be convincing. If you are in a hurry, it will be more or less true. But... it's not, really. I am a little complaining. If he was there when I returned to Xueyan Valley, I would be able to It solved a lot of unnecessary troubles. But I thought clearly, this is fine, I can’t always let them help me solve problems. In this case, I lack the necessary experience and always rely on the strength of my companions to take shortcuts, which won’t work.”
Ah Qi nodded again, as if she really understood.
Mu Wan also looked ahead, staring blankly at the late night scenery like her. The residents of Qinglize have scattered houses, and there is no need to build them so high. This inn is the tallest building. Looking at it, the outline of the building in the mist and rain is a bit illusory, the boundaries cannot be seen clearly, and it is almost half-blended in the night.
They stopped talking, just stood next to each other, waiting for time to flow slowly. After a long time, Mu Wan felt a little sleepy and yawned. She secretly wondered if she would find Shi Wuqi and the two hiding next to her when she went downstairs. What would Miss Qi do? Will she follow her downstairs?
Just as she was thinking wildly with her sleepy head, a different shadow flew towards this side in the dark scenery.
Mu Wan narrowed his eyes and tried to look carefully. The shadows were close enough before she could see clearly. For some reason, there were flocks of swan geese flying over late at night. Just as she held her head high, someone suddenly fell from the flock of geese. She was shocked and regained her consciousness.
The man landed neatly in front of her, his steps were as light as a bird, making only a slight friction sound between the two tiles, too weak to be detected.
"Ye Yuejun!" Mu Wan's sleepiness was swept away, "Why are you here?"
Seeing her again, Ye Yuejun's expression was a little complicated, but generally he was happy. She was both comforted and sad.
"I didn't expect you to be awake," she said. "I came to see you, just for a moment."
"Well, are you... here to deal with the matter of the ghost girl Thousand Faces?"
Now that he is energetic, his reason tells Mu Wan that this is the only thing worthy of Lord Ye Yue's presence.
"...Well, that's right, but it's just along the way. I also know about Suimu-kun. The weapon has been recovered by Black and White Wuchang, so don't worry. I originally wanted to find the remaining mask of Ao Oni at the scene, but the fragments seemed to have completely melted It's in the magma. It doesn't matter, it's not an important thing. I have urgent things to do, so I just came to say hello. Say hello to them for me."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Mu Wan said incredulously, "Meeting you again is like a dream. Since you are in a hurry, I won't keep you. Alas... Aluan must really want to see you."
"Haha... I miss her too. But seeing you is more important."
Mu Wan still didn't understand the meaning of the words. Saying that, Lord Ye Yue raised his head and whistled, and the circling flock of swan geese dropped something again. A tightly wrapped cloth bag fell into Hazuki-kun's hands. She held it up to Mu Wan and said quickly:
"I'm from Xueyan Valley. Chili and the others are doing well, don't worry. It's just your mother...ah, don't panic, your mother is also very healthy. You should take this thing, Chili asked me to I gave it to you, and there are letters from them in it. I wanted to quietly put it by your window and leave, but I didn’t expect you were still awake..."
Ye Yuejun was so far away from home, so he made a special trip to see her just to deliver a message from his hometown. This moved Mu Wan very much. She looked at the package. It wasn't heavy. It was wrapped in many layers. It wasn't square in shape, but rather long and narrow.
What could it be?
Mu Wan raised her head, and before she could express her gratitude to Lord Ye Yue, she called down a swan goose and hurriedly said goodbye.
He ran away as if running away.
