The streets were bustling with activity, and the noise was more unbearable than any market place during the day.
People are always arguing with each other, and the reasons sound more and more groundless. Sometimes there is no need for a reason. Many people were fighting from one side of the street to the other, and the night was extremely noisy. In the alley between the walls, among the piles of firewood, no one noticed this hidden girl in her early twenties.
It's so messy...it's really messy here. what is going on? This town is indeed full of "vitality", but under this excessive vitality is a disguised form of depression. No matter how large a settlement is, it should operate like a campfire. The flames burned brightly, and people added firewood one after another to keep warm. However, what happened here was a series of staged... explosions. The firewood disappeared before it could realize its due value, leaving nothing behind. This kind of intense thing can only be temporary after all. Until the end, there is nothing left for people to see and bring them warmth.
what to do? Hide here and rest for one night, and look for a chance to leave early tomorrow morning. What kind of town is this? Yin Huan couldn't think about this, and he couldn't get the answer anyway. The alley was barely sheltered from the wind and was still dark and cold. The noise from outside kept coming here, making it impossible for her to rest. She sat between two piles of high piles of firewood, rubbing her hands and breathing, enduring the noisy curses and fighting sounds.
There was no good sound at all, and Yin Huan felt really sad. Somehow, she took out the exquisite agate xun in her pocket. Because Yin Huan's hands were also very cold, she could hardly feel the coldness of the hollow stone.
Can it be blown?
You won't be caught playing it anyway, it's so noisy outside... give it a try. Yin Huan used to know how to play this thing. She knows many musical instruments, but she doesn't know what her level is now. After all, she hasn't played it in many years.
She took a deep breath, sucked the cold wind into her stomach, and held it there for a while, as if to warm it up. Then, she gently opened her thin lips that were white from the cold, and slowly released the warm breath.
A burst of ethereal tones came out, and then stopped abruptly. Yin Quan stopped playing because she was surprised. After all...it is said that no one can blow the magic weapon, so the one she has is really a fake, right? But don't say it, the sound is really special, different from xuns made of ceramics and bamboo. At this moment, Yin Huan felt a burst of joy. Was it because the music made her feel good?
She looked around to make sure no one was paying attention, then put the agate xun to her lips again. She didn't expect that she could still remember a lot, and she blew a complete piece of music very skillfully. The music is melodious and quiet, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The sound flowed out of the alley like water, but was drowned by the noise of people. That's natural, everyone is so violent, people only care about the trivial matters in front of them, and devote all their energy to quarreling about it. No one noticed the music, and no one noticed her.
I don’t know how long the phoenix has been blowing. In such a period of time, she seemed to have played through all the songs she could remember. She didn't remember some of them completely, so she forgot about them and tried another one that she still remembered. She became more and more skilled and happy. In such a ridiculous town, there is such a special corner. And this is a secret that belongs to her alone.
——But it won’t be.
"Who are you?"
Yin Huan was startled, his hands shook, and the agate bones rolled to the ground. She hurriedly grabbed it and looked around. Could it be that I was so absorbed in playing that I didn't notice anyone coming around? But she saw no one. Just when she was confused, the voice came again. This time she heard clearly that the sound came from above and in front of her.
"What it is?"
There was a man standing on the opposite wall, looking down at him. She stared at the man blankly, not knowing how to react. The other party's tone was a little subtle, and there was some doubt in the rising tone. She didn't know if this person was here to cause trouble, and she felt very flustered. The man was wearing hunting clothes and had a strange-shaped knife - or hook - at his waist. It has a very large curvature, and it really doesn't look like an ordinary weapon.
She had never seen this man before, but he said:
"You look familiar."
Yin Huan shook his head blankly. But at one moment, she realized that maybe the other person had seen her sister. She immediately stood up and took two steps forward. Although she didn't know if he had really seen Ling Huan and when, and she couldn't speak normally - she wanted to ask so much, wanted to find out so much.
But just before she started making gestures, the man slowly drew out the scimitar from his waist. Under the moonlight, the blade looked very transparent. It appears to be hollow, with only its outline creating shadows on the ground. Yin Huan looked at the silhouette on the ground in front of him. There seemed to be some impurities flowing in the almost transparent shadow of the blade. Is there any liquid in the blade?
There was no time to ponder this - she had to run!
The other party has shown strong hostility, which is no joke. Although she didn't know why the other party wanted to confront her with swords, she had no chance to find out the reason. She didn't think much, and ran away from the place. There are still many people on the street who have not rested, and they are all arguing for inexplicable reasons. Some people fell to the ground motionless, whether they were fainted or dead. But in such a cold weather, if we leave it here like this, I'm afraid I really won't be able to wake up the next day.
This is not something Yin Hu should consider. The most important thing is to survive this night successfully! She ran like crazy. I really don’t know what happened! Did Ling Huan say that? Had she ever mentioned this person? No, I'm too anxious to remember. Besides, there must be quite a few people targeting them along the way. She was so nervous, but she still held the xun tightly in her hand, as if she could draw strength from it.
After running away like this for a while, she turned around and saw that figure was still among the suddenly chaotic crowd. The man even walked towards this side calmly, as if he could keep up with his running speed just by walking. Yin Huan took a breath and continued running. She passed by many people who were arguing, and even bumped into many people. But she soon left the scene, causing new misunderstandings and conflicts. This is so bizarre and should not be like this anywhere.
We arrived at a wider area with slightly fewer people, perhaps because this is not a residential area. Her physical strength also does not allow her to engage in this level of exertion. She was panting, holding one hand on the wall to adjust her breathing. The breath she exhaled turned into thick white smoke. In fact, if someone looked at her from a distance, they could see tiny, curling white smoke rising all over her body. She ran for so long that the smell of blood was in her throat.
It's time to get rid of it now, right?
Looking around again, she saw the shadow holding the scimitar again.
Fear spread in my heart, spreading into every pore. She didn't eat much, didn't get much rest, and really didn't have any more strength. But her survival instinct prompted her legs to move again. This time, she ran very slowly, almost indistinguishable from walking. She couldn't stop, otherwise she would be killed. But with such efficiency...can we escape unscathed?
"Run away, don't stop for a moment."
Appeared! It's Mr. Yingyue's voice!
These words gave her a little motivation, and her pace was slightly faster, although it was far from before. She didn't need to ask to understand, Lord Yingyue appeared in her mind and continued:
"This is the evil messenger of anger. When he was still a human, he had some enmity with your sister. Ah, I shouldn't say it's your sister, it's your sister and her fellow travelers... You should be You know, she told you that this is the person. But you can't relax now. It was already very difficult for them to fight at that time, and now that he has become a monster, it is even more difficult to deal with. "
Why is he here? ! But, but, if he is the evil envoy of anger, then this town...
"All the abnormalities in this town make sense. New evil angels will use this method to draw strength from small places. He probably wants to seek revenge from Kanna-kun. Transform a town of this size into his own territory , it’s really not an easy task, and being noticed by any capable Onmyoji will cause trouble. It seems that he does have a deep grudge against Kanna-kun.”
Don't just make sarcastic remarks, what can you do to help?
Upon noticing Yin Huan's reproach, Ying Yuejun was a little surprised. This didn't seem to be like her in the past. But Yingyuejun still replied:
"Your body's ability only ends here. Even if I control it, it can't run very fast. Of course I hope you can escape smoothly. Of course I'm not here just to watch the fun. I'm really here. I'm helping you. It's your fault, you shouldn't have blown that xun. Didn't you bring trouble here? Monsters have very good ears."
What? Isn't that just an ordinary musical instrument? A replica of a magic weapon.
"Why should I let you take that purse? You don't think about it carefully. That's all. I blame me for being too busy and didn't explain it clearly to you. But now you will know, and someone will explain it to you. Listen to me, here we are. At the fork ahead, go to the left."
There was indeed a fork in the road ahead, so Yin Huan didn't think much and chose the left path and ran down it. She knew that because she had reached some kind of agreement with Yingyue Jun, she really did not want her body to be harmed. If she dies, her body will decay quickly, and it will be of no use to Yingyue Jun - she also complained that embalming is troublesome. But seeing how calm she is, is she 90% sure that nothing will happen to her?
She said there was someone who could help her. Who was it?
Not long after running, she heard another voice.
"Go straight, don't be afraid. Turn right at the second box ahead. There is a wooden board blocking the way. It's very brittle, so just kick it away."
This is a male voice! Yin Huan didn't feel familiar. But the voice is very calm and gives people a sense of reassurance. She didn't know where the sound came from, but she was pretty sure it came from the outside world and not her own head. But there was no one around, and she wasn't sure where the man was giving the orders.
But she had to believe it.
Yin Quan did as he was told. The first alley looks very wide and quiet, with no people around. But she didn't run here - if she were allowed to go on her own, she would really choose this path. After all, the others were too irritable and they didn't know what kind of trouble they would get into.
Until she came to the second alley.
