In the dead of night, the moon is high and insects are chirping.
Ye Yuejun still felt uneasy. She often thought that it would be nice if the human heart could be split in half. It’s not that a person is split in two, just the heart. When she was here in Mo Liang, she had to worry about those Hongyan friends who had not yet been buried; here she had taken a good look at the feng shui and dug the grave, but she kept thinking about Mo Liang's place. She felt that if she could open her heart and think at the same time, she might not be so tired.
It would be great if it could be truly solved.
By the time Ye Yuejun returned to the old lady's residence, it was already midnight. She knew that everyone was sleeping soundly at this moment, and there was no movement, so she went into the yard and stood there for a while. Soon they would wake up as soon as the sun came up, and she thought she could just wait. After walking around the yard for a while, she couldn't help but sigh: This is indeed a layout she likes, just like the place where she and her lover lived. It's not a big space, so there's no room for a table, just two benches. I set up two sticks and pulled a rope to dry the clothes. There are swallows' nests under the eaves, and sparse flowers are planted on the walls. The backyard is relatively larger, but there is still no place to stay all year round. We have to dry sweet potatoes, wheat, sweet potatoes, and many other things.
Unconsciously, she walked to the backyard. She looked around and heard even breathing coming from the house. It's not that the house isn't soundproof, but that she has good hearing. The room with the window belonged to Mo Liang and Xi Yu, both of whom were soundly asleep. The window was open, there was mosquito repellent inside, and a faint bitter fragrance wafted out.
She pushed the window open further, but the squeaking and rubbing sound did not wake up the two people, especially Xi Yu, who was still fast asleep. Mo Liang was still holding the sword when he was sleeping. He didn't know whether he did it consciously or unconsciously. Although the sword was not sharp, she felt that it would not be good if she was stabbed, so she tiptoed over and carefully pulled the sword out of her arms.
Ye Yuejun was stunned.
This secret that Shi Wuqi had not kept for them for too long was exposed to her in an unexpected way. She was trembling all over, but she didn't dare to make a sound. At this time, her pain had become somewhat "habitual" compared to the last time, but she hated this habit.
There is no time.
She trembled silently, and the sparse insect chirping was also isolated by her ears. She could not hear anything, and only the pale whiteness of the bone sword remained in her eyes. She hated this sword—so much, but she hated herself even more. If he had listened to Kanna-kun's advice at that time, this kind of thing would not have happened. What kind of tears is this culprit shedding hypocritically now?
Do you deserve it?
She was in a daze and could not stand firmly. But she couldn't speak, and she couldn't just collapse here, because any disturbance might wake up the two children. They would not want to see a secret they had tried to hide exposed in front of a confidential target like a "burglary".
She thought of the words of the monster in the incense burner.
I wonder what the time difference is between Mo Liang and Jian? Hazuki-kun had a bold and hateful idea in his mind.
A white glimmer broke through the eastern sky. Against the sun, Ye Yuejun ran in the empty wilderness. Above her head were a flock of anxious geese. They kept swooping down, trying to snatch the bone sword from her hand. Ye Yuejun kept waving it, driving the birds away, and shouted loudly:
"Leave me alone! I have made up my mind, and of course I will bear the responsibility for the mistakes I make!"
The existence of ghost sighs has a fatal temptation for the harpies with evil thoughts. She knew that she couldn't wait too long. If Gui Tan escaped from the protection of Shan Hai and the others, bad things might be attracted to her.
She wants to run farther, and farther.
It's dawn, and the early morning sun is piercing the ground like an unedged knife. It's not so scorching for the time being. According to the past, Xi Yu would have to stay in bed for a while, but the sunlight poured in from the window in large swaths, which was too dazzling. She opened her eyes and found that Mo Liang was not there, thinking that he had gotten up early and gone out as usual. But it stands to reason that it’s not that early? So she rubbed her eyes, got up from the bed, and looked around for him. No one else was awake. She searched all over the front and back yards and found no one. At this time Shi Wuqi came out of the house, and she asked him:
"Have you seen Xiaoliang?"
"I just woke up." There was still weariness in the corners of his eyes. "I didn't see him. Could he have gone to the street?"
"What are you doing on the street so early? Why don't you say hello?"
Xi Yu muttered. Shi Wuqi followed her out of the door and walked around. At this time, the two of them saw something flying in the distance from the horizon. They squinted their eyes and took a closer look. They turned out to be a dark flock of wild geese. There are not too many of them, but there is no proper formation. They just fly over one after another, huddled together like a race. The two instinctively retreated, and the geese all fell down, shouting at the top of their lungs, some flapping their wings at their feet, and some holding the hems of their clothes in their mouths and tearing them apart, all of them looking like crazy.
The noise woke everyone up. They all rubbed their groggy eyes and walked out of the room one after another. The old lady also woke up, her dim eyes widened, and she said that she had never seen so many birds in her life.
"Maybe something happened to Mo Liang."
Shanhai woke up completely. He said this and others agreed. Seeing them all hurriedly put on their clothes and came out, the geese began to fly towards the west. They stopped from time to time, as if they were deliberately slowing down, waiting for them all to catch up. So the villagers saw such a spectacle: the birds were running tirelessly, and several strangers were chasing them tirelessly.
After running for a long time, the sun made the earth hot. They had already spent a lot of energy yesterday, and even though they were anxious, they were still walking around. Sometimes the geese would come down to wait for them, and sometimes they would hover in the sky to block the sun for them.
The empty wilderness is overgrown with weeds. In the distance, they saw a white figure standing somewhat blankly. Needless to say, it must be Mo Liang. Xi Yu and Mu Wan sped up and ran up, blaming him for running so far.
"I don't know..." Mo Liang's tone was a little aggrieved, but more worried, "I was here when I opened my eyes. I don't know why... but Gui Tan disappeared. I think it must have been someone. Taken away.”
The geese showed no intention of letting them stop. So Xi Yu and Mu Wan stayed with him and walked slowly, while the others continued to chase the geese. Because needless to say, Lord Ye Yue, who originally commanded them, never appeared from the beginning to the end. She must have run into some trouble.
"Are you okay? Are you sleepy or tired? Do you want to eat?" Xi Yu circled around him, "You scared me to death. What if something happens to you?"
"No..." Mo Liang shook his head, "I'm not sleepy at all. On the contrary, I'm very energetic. I feel like I've had a good sleep. It's no different from waking up naturally. It's completely different from the way I used to sleepwalk and sigh. Same."
Mu Wan also felt strange, but couldn't explain why.
Shanhai and Shi Wuqi continued running. When they don't have to worry about other people, their speed is much faster. After chasing for a while, the sun made the air even hotter. But soon, they saw a man sitting half on the ground. Looking at the back with three hairpins in the long hair, it must be Lord Ye Yue.
Ye Yuejun heard the movement behind him, supported himself with his sword, and slowly stood up.
The last trace of red blood seeped into the white sword, just like the smooth bones covered with invisible holes. It is as smooth and clean as before, and no one can notice anything strange about it. At this time, she turned around and smiled at the two people walking towards him.
She was in a bright red - a three-foot radius, and the ground was covered with even and fresh red. This color covers the sparse grass, gravel and soil, completely hiding them. Hazuki-kun stood in the center, like a slender stamen in a blooming red flower.
Shi Wuqi stood far away and stopped taking a step forward. Shanhai felt shocked and strange at the same time, but was more worried about Ye Yuejun's condition, so he took a few steps towards her. He noticed that Ye Yuejun's face was bloodless and very pale. But there was a smile of relief on the corner of her mouth, which made him shudder.
"Are you... okay?"
It doesn't look like anything is okay at all.
"Well, I'm fine," she said. "I've never felt better than I did today."
Her face and hands turned white, the same color as the bone sword in her hand. The hair color has also become lighter, like the light brown down of a wild goose.
"Why... is Mo Liang's sword in your hand? There are..."
The Hazuki-kun at this moment felt strange to him, as if she had changed into someone he had never seen before. This feeling is not just a "feeling", it is more like something concrete.
Shi Wuqi called out to him.
"Mountains and seas!"
"……What's wrong?"
"Don't come any closer." Shi Wuqi said sadly, "She has the aura of a monster."
"What?" As if his bad guess was confirmed, Shanhai was somewhat expected, but still shocked, "She's not Ye Yue-kun, is she?" With that, he stopped at the edge of the bloodstained area.
"No...that's not the case. She is Ha Yue-kun, she is Mu Ran Yanlai, and she is the Six Paths Impermanence."
Shan Hai suddenly turned back to look at Ye Yuejun. She stood there and waved to him as if nothing was wrong. Looking over at this distance, he felt as if there was a powerless scarecrow stuck there. He looked back at Shi Wuqi again.
He must have smelled something of the same kind.
"What did you do?!"
Shanhai finally ran forward. He clearly felt that Ye Yuejun's aura was completely different from before. But he couldn't say anything - at this moment, she was her original self, and her appearance was so real.
"Can I save him?" she asked sincerely, "In this way, Gui Tan will let him go?"
"...I don't know." Shan Hai replied honestly, "I just think you shouldn't do this."
"There is nothing I should or should not do, really, otherwise it would be too late. This is all destined. It is the debt I have to repay, my responsibility, and my sin."
"You are not wrong", Shan Hai could not say this sentence no matter what.
The girls will definitely be furious after learning about this, and Mo Liang will definitely be disappointed. But at least Ye Yuejun made what he thought was the right choice, and no one had anything to say.
Shan Hai and Shi Wuqi stared at the sword and didn't think it was any different from before - at least it looked like it. But Shi Wuqi could detect that there seemed to be something like a pulse in this sword, pulsing regularly and disturbingly. He had never heard it before.
As long as this sword, which carries the mortal bones of Lord Ye Yue for hundreds of years of practice, is brought to the incense burner, can Mo Liang be saved as the banshee said?
Who is that banshee?
