That night, Mo Guyuan carried Yu Qinggong on his back and held the dumplings while walking quietly on the stone slabs of the long street.
There was no light or wind at the moment, and there were only three people walking in the quiet town. It was not until the intersection at the end of the long street that Mo Guyuan saw an inn that had not yet closed.
"It's getting late now, so we won't go back yet. If there is any news from Yu Nie, they will notify me. Let's go to the City God's Temple tomorrow." Mo Guyuan turned around and said to the dumplings beside him.
The dumpling called "Aba Aba" and nodded with a smile.
The store was dark, with only a few candles flickering. When someone walked in, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Do you want to stay in the hotel, or do you want to have something to eat first?"
Mo Guyuan replied, "Can I trouble the shopkeeper to arrange a guest room for us? I won't eat anything."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper exclaimed cheerfully and quickly, then led the way and brought Mo Guyuan and others in.
In a simple and elegant side room, Mo Guyuan gently placed Yu Qingg on the bed. He walked to the wooden chair on the other side and sat quietly beside it, making no movement for a while.
Dumpling walked back and forth in the room, looking at the two of them curiously from time to time. After a moment, Mo Guyuan came back to his senses, smiled at Dumpling and said, "You and Miss Yu will sleep next to each other tonight, and I'll just sit here for a while."
Dumpling shook her head, her face a little distressed for Mo Guyuan. She pointed at him, and then pointed at the bed where Yu Qingrong slept, with an unclear purpose.
Mo Guyuan sighed vaguely, stood up, walked to Dumpling and picked her up, then placed Dumpling beside the bed so that she could lie down and rest.
When Diaozi was about to pull Mo Guyuan to bed, the view outside the window suddenly dimmed. It seemed that the innkeeper had extinguished the last few lights.
"I have something to do later. Miss Yu drank too much. I was afraid that she would be in danger, so I only asked for a room. I will go out later, and you should stay close to Miss Yu to prevent any accidents." Mo Gu Yuan approached the dumplings and whispered.
Dumpling glanced at him suspiciously, wondering why he was going out so late.
Mo Guyuan touched the dumpling's head and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm just going out to take a look."
Dumpling had no choice but to give up and nodded heavily to Mo Guyuan, indicating that he could rest assured.
Mo Guyuan kneaded the quilt for Dumpling, turned around, carefully opened the window, and flew out.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and apart from the sound of the cold wind blowing slowly, there was no other unusual sound in the town. Mo Guyuan jumped a few times in the air, and followed the figure on the rooftops of the town. After the figure fell under the eaves, the figure was no longer visible.
Upstairs in the inn, the previously opened window had not yet been closed. It was making a creaking noise due to the wind outside. The dumplings were not tired of hearing it, and they were afraid that Mo Guyuan would not be able to come back after closing the window. At the moment, he could only put his His head retreated into the bed, no longer listening to the boring noise.
As the sound came one after another, Dumpling hiding under the bed gradually calmed down and seemed to have fallen asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, the noise outside the window suddenly stopped, and the entire house instantly became quiet. Even the sound of the wind outside seemed to be cut off.
Lying on the bed, Yu Qinggong and Diaozi closed their eyes and fell asleep, unaware that someone was slowly approaching them in the room.
In the dark light, a figure floated vaguely, without making any footsteps, he just walked towards the bed step by step. When he came to the edge of the bed, he saw the man slowly raising his right hand, a white arm stretching out from under his sleeve, and then reaching out to grab Yu Qinggong on the bed.
Yu Qingqing suddenly turned around, facing the white paw, still closing her eyes and sleeping soundly.
The black figure standing at the edge of the bed suddenly had five fingers like hooks and clawed hard at Yu Qinggong's neck. However, the moment it approached Yu Qinggong's body, his whole body suddenly flew backwards from the bed, heavily. Hit the wall.
The black shadow was stunned, and just when he was about to rush out of the door, a sharp sword happened to penetrate the window paper, floated in front of the man in black, and pointed directly at the black shadow's forehead.
The woman in red stood up slowly and walked to the man in black. Her beautiful eyes were cold and she stared at the person in front of her.
Translated by Mo Guyuan
Entering through the window, he was also stunned after seeing the man in red, and his eyes were a little brighter.
"chaos."
The woman in red was Chaos who had regained her true form. She ignored Mo Guyuan and blocked all the escape routes for the person in front of her, preventing him from having any chance to escape.
Mo Guyuan came straight to her, then carefully inquired about the masked man under the corner, and asked in a cold voice, "I have felt something was wrong since I came out of Jufu Tower in the evening. It turns out that you have been following us."
The man in black was unmoved. Except for the sinister look in his eyes, he didn't seem that panicked.
"Tell me your origins and keep your body intact." Chaos said coldly.
The Xuanyuan Sword was still pointing at this man's face. The sword was so sharp that it only took a thought from Mo Guyuan to stab him directly.
For a long time, the man in black remained unmoved, as if he didn't take the current situation to heart.
Chaos' eyes gradually shrank, her patience reaching its limit. She looked at Mo Guyuan, who didn't speak. Then Chaos raised his hand, and a stream of scarlet air rushed straight towards the man in black.
But when the red air flow floated away, it just swayed on the man in black, and there was nothing strange about it.
Chaos raised his eyebrows and said with a little surprise, "It turns out to be a ghost."
Mo Guyuan was stunned, ghost? dead?
Hearing what Chaos said, the man in black felt a little nervous at this moment. Before he could hesitate, his whole body suddenly collapsed and turned into white smoke that spread everywhere.
"Don't let this person go." Mo Guyuan shouted.
Chaos let out a "hum" and saw her holding her head high, her red lips slightly parted, and ripples of red light appearing on the surface of her entire body, with traces of golden light flashing among them.
As the chaotic power was emitted, the white smoke that dispersed in all directions rushed toward the surroundings of Chaos, as if it were some kind of suction force, leaving the white smoke with nowhere to escape.
"It's better to tell the truth honestly, so that you don't know how you died." Chaos said with a tone that left no room for doubt.
The white smoke gathered and took shape again, and the man gradually appeared, struggling in pain and looking at Chaos, with a bit of regret in his eyes.
"Who are you and why are you following us?" Mo Guyuan asked from the side.
After a while, the man in black lowered his head and said, "You came to Qingyun Town first, why are you meddling in other people's business?"
The voice was hoarse and deep, and you could tell it was a man.
"We were passing through this place when strange things happened in the town. Since Qingyun Town is a ghost town and all the people in the town died from the plague, how can we stand by and ignore it?" Mo Guyuan said righteously. said.
"Then who are you, the savior?" The hoarse voice sounded again, this time, it was full of sneers and disdain.
Mo Guyuan was about to say something, but Chaos on the side took advantage of the changes in his body, grabbed the man's neck with one hand, and said with a smile, "You just wanted to use this trick to restrict us, then I'll let you try it too." This suffocating feeling."
The red light in Chaos's hand became scarier, and with every effort she exerted, the pupils of the man in black shrank sharply. The strange thing was that this man was obviously a ghost wandering in Qingyun Town, but his appearance and aura... Clearly no different from a living person.
The heart of the man in black, who was bound by chaos, also set off huge waves. With his Taoist practice of hiding here for hundreds of years, he had already integrated Yin and Yang. I thought I could avoid the attacks of the two with the Yin Qi method, but I didn't expect that the woman in red had such weird methods and could actually arrest spirits and capture Yin.
Taking this opportunity, Mo Guyuan directly tore off the veil of the man in black, wanting to see what this man's true face was. But at the moment when the veil was lifted, Mo Guyuan suddenly felt a little more familiar.
The man who revealed his true appearance was pale, but could not hide his handsome outline, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. His face was square yet somewhat delicate. If the paleness on his face wasn't so obvious, it would be hard to imagine that this person would be involved with something evil and evil.
Mo Guyuan frowned in thought. After looking at it for a long time, he was suddenly shocked and blurted out, "Are you Liang Jun?"
Huan Chao looked at him curiously, wondering how Mo Guyuan knew Liang Jun.
The man in black's eyes were dim and indifferent.
Mo Guyuan walked up to this person, pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "The eyebrows are somewhat similar to Liang Yan."
Hearing this, the man in black was suddenly startled and said, "Have you seen Yan'er?"
Mo Guyuan said truthfully, "We were passing by here to go to Ruoshui for training, and were taken home by Liang Yan on the way. He told us some general information. His parents were unjustly accused and died by the people in the town, and he wanted us to teach him. Immortal magic to avenge his parents."
"I see, why is Yan'er still so confused?" The man in black trembled, his whole person looking a little more calm.
Seeing this strange situation, Chaos gradually loosened its grip on him, but it still trapped him firmly in place.
"Sir, what exactly happened here? Can you tell me, this junior? If you can help me, I will be obliged to do so." Mo Guyuan raised his hand and said.
The man in black named Liang Jun was shocked. How could he bear the word "Mr." when he looked like this?
After being silent for a while, Liang Jun, who was already a ghost, sighed silently and said, "Since he knows that I am Yan'er's father, he asked you to avenge me for some reason. Now I can tell you that my Qiu doesn’t need your intervention. If you want to go to Ruoshui to practice, just go, but can you ignore what’s going on in Qingyun Town?”
Mo Guyuan and Huan Chaos frowned at the same time. The former was confused and curious, while the latter was a little annoyed at Liang Jun's lack of appreciation.
At this moment, a crisp sound sounded in the house.
"That's not possible. I am going to Ruushui to walk the river. I should do good deeds and accumulate merit along the way, so as to consolidate my journey on the river. Hundreds of dead souls in Qingyun Town are detained here. Although they are still alive as before, they can For us, since we have bumped into each other, how can we ignore it? If you want to know the cause and effect, we have been contaminated since we came to Qingyun Town."
Mo Guyuan turned around and saw Yu Qinggong winking and smiling at him.
