Mr. Shuangyue is in the north of the dreamland..."
Lin Shanhai repeated it.
Mu Wan was half lying on the bed, holding a cup in both hands. There is a medicine inside, which is no longer applied externally but taken internally. I had given medicine to her stomach before, but after all, she hadn't eaten for several days, and her entire stomach and intestines were not right. She needs a period of recuperation and rehabilitation, after all, her entire body will be rusty.
But she didn't want to waste a moment.
"We'll leave tomorrow."
Shanhai took the cup from her hand and filled it with more water.
"Xueyan Valley is indeed in the northwest... Regardless of where Lord Shuangyue is, what's the point of looking for him?"
Shanhai returned the warm cup to her. Shi Wuqi answered:
"Are you going to unsheath your sword?"
They all know what this sentence means. The moment the Demon-Sealing Blade is unsheathed, it not only means that this piece of cold metal will see the light of day again, but it also means that Lord Shuangyue's identity will be subverted.
"Well, you don't want to solve the problem for your master, right? Did he promise to help Mr. Shuangyue undo the curse back then..."
"Even at the expense of yourself? Stop joking."
Shi Wuqi interrupted Dai Luan because he didn't want his words to be confirmed. Mu Wan's eyes were empty, and his tone was also very hollow.
"No, I don't have the intention to save anyone, not to mention I'm not familiar with Mr. Shuangyue. I just feel what will happen. The Demon-Sealing Blade told me."
Shi Wuqi picked up the wakizashi on the table and took the trouble to look at it again. To be honest, apart from the strange workmanship, it did not emit some incredible spiritual power, and none of them could feel it. Mu Wan could not explain this strange mood to them, and as time passed, the desire to follow the "guidance" became weaker, but it did not disappear.
"...Actually, it's not bad." Shan Hai took the Demon-Sealing Blade and handed it to Mu Wan, "Since Chili and the others have decided to give it to you, you can keep it personally. It just so happens that you don't have a weapon, so take it with you for the time being. It is said that the Demon-Sealing Blade The blade is very powerful even if it is not unsheathed, so it is important to slowly explore how to use it. Since we are heading north, let’s go back home first.”
Mu Wan placed the cup on the wooden table on the bed and raised the demon-sealing blade. The warm light of dusk shines on it, making it look even older. It doesn't smell like it should, like the musty smell of old cloth or the rusty smell of metal, not at all. However, Shi Wuqi said that there are many things that cannot be seen in a world that does not belong to them. Presumably returning the Demon Sealing Blade to the Shura Dao will probably reveal its due edge.
But they are human beings and should use human thinking to solve problems.
"No," she said, "I'm not going back."
"What?" Shanhai thought he heard wrongly.
"I won't go back. There's no need, really."
Shi Wuqi was speechless for a moment. He was worried that this was some kind of compromise on her part, but if that was the case, it wouldn't be necessary. But he knew that Mu Wan would never give up something she didn't have to give up because of temporary concessions, so when she said this, she must have considered more than just his situation. Even so, the feeling of giving up is still a bit subtle, he said:
"It's just along the way. Don't we also want to borrow Yunwai..."
"Shouldn't we look for Luoshen Sand first? It's probably farther north. It doesn't matter if we go directly there. If we want to go to Snow Inkstone Valley, we have to go a long way to the west."
There was another silence in the room. This kind of dialogue always gives people a kind of consideration such as "That's not what it actually meant", "It didn't have to be like this", "Although it is reasonable, there seems to be room for maneuver".
"You...do have other plans, right?"
Shan Hai stared straight into Mu Wan's eyes, and she quickly averted her gaze. After so long, Shan Hai has always been able to see through others without letting himself be seen through, and Mu Wan is still so undisguised in front of him. She had already noticed that she couldn't hide in front of this group of people, but maybe it was enough to deal with outsiders. Invisibly, they have become like a family. She is the only one who can not pretend to be emotional, does not need to bear the burden of worry alone, and does not need to deliberately carry heavy things.
"You tell us," Shan Hai said. "It doesn't matter whether we support it or not. What's important is that you should speak out."
"You have to tell us what you think." Dai Luan also helped, "You can't think about it but say nothing. Aren't we brothers and sisters who have been through life and death?"
brothers and sisters. This concept is too thin. In Mu Wan's definition, this concept belongs to her real blood relatives and her beloved classmates. And these few of them have always been labeled as "companions" and "friends". Now that her real biological brother is dead - although she has not yet developed a real feeling after her serious illness - her once beloved senior brother has turned his back on her, and the rest of her disciples who grew up with her are thousands of miles away, she finally has reason to fully convince herself.
"Siblings," she said, "Siblings."
"I don't know what you are thinking about the siblings who are separated from your head." The surnamed Shi started to become unserious.
Mu Wan nodded, placed the Demon Sealing Blade on the table, and folded his hands on the quilt.
"I know who the murderer is."
"……Yeah?"
"Tang He."
Shan Hai and Wu Qi looked at each other again, and Dai Luan then said:
"It's not that we haven't considered it, but we can't find a sufficient reason. We can't find any clues based on Mo Liang's words. There is no direct evidence, and just relying on the grudge between you seems... not very convincing."
"That's why we advise you to go back." Shanhai said, "Meet my mother and then ask them if they have any other details."
"No, I have good reasons. As for my mother...she definitely doesn't want me to go back, even if she really wants to see me. I know her. If I go back, she will know that she will be reluctant to leave me and will blame herself for staying here." I can’t live in Liangqiu’s house. And I’m also afraid that I will…so it can’t be done. At least not now.”
"Then...what's your reason?"
"Sachet."
"Sachet?"
"When it comes to Tianxiang Jade, I understand everything. When I was a child, my father had a small piece of jade, which was as beautiful as gelatin and had a faint fragrance that did not belong to any flowers. My father said that it was the fragrance of stone. Later, I heard from my brother He said that this was my father who helped prove someone's innocence back then. The mother of the only son left cried and thanked her, and just gave the piece of family heirloom to my father. At first, my father didn't want it, but the old man said that he should leave it to me. His son will only be defeated by him... Although her son is indeed spoiled and has bad habits, he has no intention of harming others, let alone the courage to kill. He was only arrested and charged because he was too messy. Ah... ...My father must have offended someone in the court at that time. Anyway, he finally accepted the piece of jade. Well, one day I accidentally hit it...I forgot how old I was at that time, I must have been very young. Yeah. I thought I was going to be scolded to death by my parents, but it turned out that my brother carried the bag for me, and my parents beat him hard on the butt. Later, I thought the two pieces of broken jade were thrown away, because in my memory, I never saw it again. .”
"So actually...it was put in your sachet?"
"Yes. When I was a child, I always felt that it was a little heavier than an ordinary sachet, but I didn't notice it anymore when I grew up. But only half, I guess, because the two pieces are heavier and will definitely rub and collide. I would have discovered it long ago. "
"The other half is at your brother's place?"
"Yes. We are a couple."
Yan and Wan are a pair.
"How did Tang He know there was a sachet there..."
When Dai Luan muttered, Mu Wan suddenly tightened his grip on the Demon Sealing Blade on the bed table, and the bells half as big as a fingernail rustled.
Yes, how else would you know?
To sow discord, sow discord, intensify conflicts, and confuse people's hearts... They are keen on creating such a situation of fighting between dragons and tigers. Apart from a certain Liudao Impermanence, they can't think of anyone else.
"Ah, wait...it might be Gao Yuejun who said it." Dai Luan realized.
Shi Wuqi shrugged and said, "It's not a day or two since she and Xueyue-Jun wore the same pair of pants. It's not unusual."
Shanhai remained calm. He analyzed: "But she also told us everything about Tang He. She also deliberately made us compete with each other. She is worthy of being a voodoo master. No matter who survives the snipe and the clam fight, she can also reap the benefits. . If Mu Wan is right, she allowed us to meet in order to speed up the achievement of everyone's goals."
"So this is one of the reasons why she didn't give us the Tianxiang Jade." Wu Qi continued, "She wants us to grab it... but has Tang He really got it?"
"I should have it. Mo Liang listed all my brother's belongings there, except for the sachet. He may also be worried that someone is looking for something, but he doesn't know what it is, so he just copied them all. Ah, Wu Qi is going to Are you looking for... what kind of sand are you looking for?"
"Luoshen sand. It's in Cuipingtan in the north. Shanhai said he had gone to several pharmacies, but there was none, so he had to go there."
"Go, go directly. You don't have to go to Xue Yan Valley, you have to seize the time."
According to Gao Yuejun, comparing the medicine list, this is also the raw material Tang He lacks. Later, they casually talked about some irrelevant topics, but they were careful and skillfully avoided all separations of life and death. They all knew that Mu Wan had not truly accepted Si Yan's death. Sometimes death is not a letter, a message, a cold corpse. But the extra pair of bowls and chopsticks that came out during meals after that were the clothes of the deceased found out from home one after another, and the familiar but no longer updated family letters buried deep in the drawer.
she knows. But she didn't know if she was ready to face it.
They originally wanted to bring dinner to the girls' room, but Mu Wan insisted on going downstairs by herself. Although he staggered, he could finally feel the long-lost touch of the solid ground. Before going to bed, Mu Wan suddenly remembered something. After much hesitation, she chose to tell everyone. After all, this is what she had thought clearly before.
"Hazuki-kun's geese are also flying to the north."
"Okay, got it."
It sounds like a useless piece of information, but it probably includes too much stuff that they don't know. What awaits them in the north?
Although Dai Luan was joking, saying that Ye Yuejun was walking too fast, and did not say to give them a lift, in fact everyone knew that without the help of spiritual veins, this is the speed at which they should move forward step by step. Even if there are cars and horses, Kyushu is so big and a thousand miles in one day seems so insignificant.
They walked, heading north. Xia's pace was faster than theirs, catching up and surpassing the large and small footprints.
