August is high and the autumn is high. After a bumpy journey, I finally returned to Xueyan Valley after stumbling.
They have reached a consensus on some details that can be mentioned or not mentioned. But the original appearance of the matter still needs to be explained, which will happen after this glorious cleansing banquet, when Mu Wan and Mo Liang Xi Yu talk to Chi Li in private.
It was still night, but the lights were brightly lit in the valley. In less than a year, Xueyan Valley has changed a lot. All the dangerous and dilapidated huts were demolished and replaced by brand new row houses. Viewed from a high place, the originally dotted buildings in the valley became more orderly, with clear division of labor in each area, which was much more reasonable than before. The granary was moved to an open space, and if it was too close to the woods, there would always be little guys coming to eat. A large open space was opened to the east as a place for disciples to compete and practice.
Chili used to have an indescribable "fairy spirit" and a remoteness that could not be compared to the world. In fact, after interacting with people for a long time, the vague feeling of alienation has dissipated. But no matter how he behaves or dresses, he is still pleasing to the eye and respectful to others.
"The wine cellar is over there." Chi Li, who was standing on the edge of the cliff, pointed down in a direction, "You may not want to see it."
She was not wrong at all. Mu Wan would feel sleepy even if he smelled the smell of alcohol. She shook her head repeatedly and waved her hand in rejection. From where they stood, they could almost see the entire interior of the valley. Chi Li was not afraid of this most dangerous place. The white clothes were swaying in the soft whistling wind, as light as clouds.
"Aling isn't coming..." She turned around and looked at Shi Wuqi, "She wants to celebrate the New Year at home."
"It's okay." He smiled politely.
"You want to refine the medicine, but you can't tell me. This makes me a little embarrassed." Chili continued, "I can't make the decision alone. I still need to discuss it with other seniors."
As she said that, she glanced at Mo Liang. Even Mo Liang couldn't talk about something, and she knew it would cause trouble, such as being coveted by major martial arts figures. If you keep it a secret, the more people know about it, the less safe it becomes, which is a dilemma. Speaking of Mo Liang, she still blamed herself for her rashness earlier. When she heard that there was a way to save Xiaoliang, she sent him there in a hurry. Now I don’t know if the curse has been solved. Ye Yuejun also heard that his vitality was severely damaged and he is missing. If you get this kind of result, it's better not to let him go, at least you won't owe Ye Yuejun such a big favor.
But subconsciously she still hoped that it would all be effective. It's just that she can't afford to gamble now.
"You are becoming more and more like a leader."
Shan Hai's words were regarded as compliments, but with a hint of regret.
Chi Li smiled bitterly: "Yeah, at first I always felt like I couldn't help myself. But as time went by, I felt that it didn't matter anymore. No matter how you live, you're still alive. It's better to experience more different lives."
"Under your governance, the Xue Yan Sect is really prosperous."
"Xiao helped me a lot." She said frankly, "When I didn't know how to do many things, he would tell me some similar things from ancient and modern times at home and abroad as a reference. Sometimes, if a disciple in the sect has an idea but doesn't want to say it, he He will also tell me. To put it this way, it feels a bit like cheating, hahahaha."
"What's the matter?" Shi Wuqi said, "Yun Wai Jing is already in your hands. How you use it is your own business. People in the world always want to use it for evil. How do you do it in the hands of an upright person like you? Nothing too much.”
"That's ridiculous, but no matter how much you praise me, I have to be responsible for my disciples."
"Wherever you are, let those who deserve to be praised be praised."
The sophistication of people going back and forth between you and me is a headache, let alone someone like Mu Wan who is well aware of the situation on both sides. She moved her eyes away in disgust, not allowing herself to waste time in this meaningless tit-for-tat confrontation. She knew that there was a place in Xueyan Valley that was suitable for placing an incense burner. The place is low-lying and very hidden. The spiritual power has been accumulated for a long time and is full of wealth.
There is a pool called Snow Inkstone Pool. Although there is water everywhere in the entire mountain, no matter how big the living or stagnant water is, it cannot be as famous as the valley like this small pool. It has no water conservancy worth utilizing, it is just a scenic spot, but the roads nearby are inconvenient, so it is left there to allow small animals and demon spirits to play. Seen from a distance, the pool is clean and pure white, making people mistakenly think that it is just a patch of snow. But once you get close, you will find that it is a pool of "black water", because the pool is extremely clear, but the rocks at the bottom of the pool are as pure black as black iron. The water was very clear. She had been there once and forgot whether it was spring, summer or autumn or winter. She only remembered that there was a thin layer of ice on the surface of the Snow Inkstone Pond. She took a piece out curiously, and it melted in her hands in an instant. The thin piece of ice she dug out of the water quickly solidified and healed. This scene left a deep impression on her, so even though the disciples of the Xue Yan Sect often forgot that such a scene existed, she could always remember it.
Mu Wan didn't know whether Chi Li knew such a place existed. But she was secretly thinking whether it was necessary to tell Shi Wuqi that such a place would be more suitable. But doing so seemed to be betraying Chi Li, who symbolized the protection of Xue Yan Valley. She was also a disciple of Xue Yan Sect, and she didn't want to do this. On the other hand, it seems to be a natural obligation to help friends who have been with you for a long time.
This was contradictory and overwhelmed her.
They walked around again, and many senior brothers and sisters gathered around them. Many of them knew Shanhai and the others, and were also curious about Shi Wuqi's identity. Xi Yufeng was so handsome that he had earned a lot of face. She and Mo Liang were telling embellished stories to the younger disciples.
Shan Hai could actually detect that Chi Li was wary of Shi Wuqi. After all, I have never seen it before, and there is an indescribable demon...spiritual power on my body, and there is also an ominous eye. Not that no one had asked about the injury to his right eye, and everyone answered in unison that it was from a recent fight with a demon. Miss Qi attracted more attention. At first, almost no one felt something was wrong. It was not until they learned that she was a corpse that the girls surrounding them dispersed. This scene is really familiar.
Before the break, Chi Li suddenly asked Shi Wuqi to come over, which made everyone else a little nervous. Although it was not a guilty conscience, I still felt that something was wrong. So he didn't take Miss Qi with him, but just walked with her to a remote place nearby. It wasn't anything special to avoid.
"Let me ask you...what do you think about Mo Liang?"
Shi Wuqi looked into her eyes with some confusion. In theory, if she asks herself, she may not be able to ask anything. But asking about mountains and seas is more convincing than asking yourself. He didn't know why Chili said that, but she should have her own reasons. Perhaps firstly, he was worried that Shanhai had something to hide, and secondly, he wanted to find out the intentions of his "stranger".
Besides, Mo Liang actually had no intention of hiding it from her. Maybe after a while, he will tell the truth about what he saw. So at this moment, he should be more careful when he speaks.
Maybe he didn't have anything to say.
"Xiao Liang will have bone spurs on his body, you should know that."
"...I know. He again?"
"That's right. I saw something from it."
He truthfully told what he saw at that time, ignoring some of his subjective feelings. This piece of information is insignificant, but it sounds important. Chi Li frowned tightly and never let go for a moment.
"So, what about the curse-breaking thing that Mr. Ye Yue said? You know, I don't want to raise this kind of question when everyone just comes back happily. I don't know you, and I have only heard of the name of the Hundred Skeleton Lord. So, I hope we can take advantage of this short time to have a little communication. After this day, I can feel that you are not a person who cannot speak... but you are not able to speak everything."
"Well, there's no need for me to lie to you about Mo Liang."
Shi Wuqi took a deep breath and glanced in the direction of the guest room. Shan Hai and Dai Luan occasionally looked this way.
"So, how much are you willing to say?"
"Speaking out may cause Xue Yanzong to bear unnecessary favors."
"But it doesn't matter."
"...Ye Yuejun made a great sacrifice. At first, we didn't know whether this would be effective, but then we visited Death Shadow Pavilion. You know, Mo Liang must have mentioned this in his letter. Death Shadow Pavilion told him, Those efforts...are almost useless, all in vain, but will give Gui Tan a taste of the sweetness."
Chi Li's eyes were a little strange, and she said quietly:
"I heard about Xiaoying Pavilion... They want to get Yun Waijing, and I don't like them. But what they said doesn't seem to be adulterated. Is there a possibility that these words have some purpose? for example--"
"Your intuition is right." Wu Qi sighed deeply, "They did use Yun Wai Jing as a threat to another way to break the curse. I guess Mo Liang wanted to hide all this, for fear that we would be too busy. I thought, afraid that we would be worried. But fortunately, Xi Yu told all these things, and we had a chance to know the truth. But in fact, the conditions they proposed were not sincere, so I suspect that they wanted to take the opportunity to disturb people's hearts. "
Chi Li's expression now is exactly the same as when they learned about this.
"It's right to let Xi Yu follow him... This child is not afraid of him speaking, but afraid of him not speaking."
"I can understand."
"So, Gui Tan's curse actually made no progress, and Lord Ye Yue was seriously injured because of it?"
"Although I don't want to admit it, it is the truth. I'm sorry, we..."
"I don't blame you."
Chi Li shook her head and sighed softly. Although there was no one around, both the disciples and his friends knew they were here. When the time comes, I will definitely have to ask questions.
Shi Wuqi was silent for a while, and then suddenly asked her: "Can I boldly make a guess?"
"Speaking."
"You are testing whether what I say is true."
Chi Li was slightly surprised. She turned her head, looked Wu Qi up and down, and said nothing for a while. She knew that this man was smarter than she thought, but in this sense, she had never really experienced it before.
"I'm not afraid of what you say." Chi Li said, "Things that Xiao didn't take the initiative to tell me are not good news. I know this very well. If I ask him, he will definitely tell me and will definitely give it to me. Look, but it’s meaningless. The cloud outside the mirror knows the heaven and the earth, and has extensive knowledge of the past and present, but it can never see through the human heart.”
“Even ghosts and gods cannot see through the human heart.”
"I guess so."
Chi Li shrugged, as if he didn't really care. Wu Qi knew that even if the method given by the Shadow Pavilion was feasible, Chi Li would never exchange Yun Waijing for it. On the one hand, this is a relic given to her by her mother, and the ownership has nothing to do with Mo Liang. She cannot give it up easily for her brother who is not related by blood even though he is as close as a brother, not to mention the outcome of falling into the hands of the Shadow Pavilion is unknown; on the other hand, , everything they fought against She Ji before, the price Xue Yanzong paid, and the bones Mo Liang created will all lose their meaning.
Shi Wuqi guessed that She Ji did not propose an exchange on this condition at that time because the Shadow Pavilion had not yet reached this level of technology. Now they have probably made a breakthrough at some level. I don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
"I can give others a try on your matter. But I can't guarantee that I can help. For the sake of Liang Qiu and Mo Liang, I agree with Xiao to talk to you and see if he has any A better way. From now on, if I don’t mention this matter again, then the negotiation has failed, and you should find another Feng Shui treasure place as soon as possible."
"...Shi understands and I am grateful."
