After the thick sealing mud broke, the aroma of wine overflowed and filled the whole room. Du Anchen took a big gulp of wine, but he didn't think it was a good wine, but instead felt bitter in his heart. She calmed down and asked again: "Since you said this is back to the starting point, what are you going to do this time?"
Du Anchen was talking, but his eyes were looking at Jie Nanshi.
Jie Nanshi still didn't speak, and Wuming was responsible for explaining: "To be honest, I haven't thought about it well. Maybe it's like last time, first catch all the ghosts in the city, and then let everyone stop believing in evil gods. Now I sword The Dharma has been restored, and if you want to fight against the two-faced evil god again, you don’t have to rely entirely on you and Taoist Master Jie.”
Du Anchen looked at Xie Nanshi and nodded slightly in agreement, his heart full of despair.
After a while, Du Anchen said again: "I want to talk to Xie Nanshi alone. Can you please stop eavesdropping?"
She knew that Wuming would definitely hear it, but now she had to bet on whether Wuming's "deep love" for her would allow her to reconcile with Nanshi and have some exchanges that Wuming would not know about.
Wuming smiled bitterly, as if he had drained the jar of wine Du Anchen drank: "Okay."
After saying that, without any hesitation, Wuming left the room.
Only Du Anchen and Xie Nanshi were left in the room. The candlelight swayed slightly, making people's eyes dazzled.
Du Anchen didn't speak immediately, but took one sip after another, until he drank most of the jar of wine, then he raised his chest and asked, "Do you remember the time when you were unconscious before?"
Xie Nanshi nodded: "Of course I remember."
Du Anchen squinted his eyes and looked at Jie Nanshi, as if he was trying to distinguish the authenticity of the person in front of him: "Please tell me in detail."
Jie Nanshi didn't understand why Du Anchen had this question, but he still said patiently: "We entered the third floor of the Demon Suppressing Pass, but were trapped in the illusion of Infinity. Later, I used my sword skills to open up the red moon, and you used my giant blade to slash When the monster came out of the mouth, Song Yu grabbed a hand with his ability."
"Then what?" Du Anchen asked eagerly, "What happens after that?"
"Song Yu pulled out all the people behind that hand. We fought hard, but for some reason, we returned to Qinghe Town." Xie Nanshi's words were not fast, but there was a sense of certainty.
Du Anchen threw the jar with remaining wine to Xie Nanshi. She has always respected and favored Xie Nanshi along the way, but at this moment, Du Anchen wanted to smash the wine jar directly on his head: "This is not Qinghe Town at all. That person is not Song Yu. What's your impression? Is Song Yu here such a polite and well-behaved person?"
Xie Nanshi's eyelashes seemed to be twitching: "But what's wrong with this? Practitioners should restrain themselves and return to etiquette."
"If you deny yourself and return to etiquette, that's just another you." Du Anchen gritted his teeth: "Do you really think this is right?"
Jie Nanshi looked at Du Anchen. Du Anchen hoped to see some waves in his eyes, but he saw nothing.
"I thought Song Yu was very important to you, but it turns out that he is gone and you are nothing more than that." Du Anchen said coldly, with a despair in his eyes that Jie Nanshi could not understand.
Jie Nanshi inexplicably wanted to refute Du Anchen, Song Yu was his ally, and they jointly shouldered a huge secret. But when he frowned slightly and wanted to say something, he felt that his idea was a bit inconsistent.
Why should he be friends with Song Yu? That was a man who only wanted to be happy, but left whole cities and towns behind to be slaughtered by the White Walkers after he left. Such people, even if they have great cultivation, still have no Taoist mind. It was because of his irresponsibility and his "freedom and ease" that one of his Jiange elders died in Yongxi Prefecture.
Even though he made amends in his previous life, that life still could not be saved.
Xie Nanshi didn't understand where Du Anchen's anger came from. He was even a little innocent and confused. After a while, he said: "Take a step and take a look."
"I don't know what you are thinking. That Wuming left something behind when he treated you. I can only tell you that we are still on the third floor of Demon Town Pass, and this is not the real Qinghe Town." Du Anchen clasped his fingers: "That person is not Song Yu. Song Yu is not just a follower to you, he is different to you."
Xie Nanshi finally had some reaction because of Du Anchen's words. But this reaction was not what Du Anchen expected, and he suddenly realized the truth. He just nodded again, said "I will imagine", and began to think about it.
Silence, the small room was filled with anxiety.
"Forget it. I will go catch the White Walkers with you tomorrow." Du Anchen sighed and left the big house. When I walked out, I also found that Wuming was standing far away, and his tall and straight figure had an inexplicable feeling of vulnerability.
Hearing the noise here, he turned around and ran towards Du Anchen like a puppy: "Are you... done? You don't look very happy. Is he making you unhappy?"
"Stop your face." Du Anchen sneered: "Song Yu doesn't like me. We only have an employment relationship. If you want to be him, you should at least follow his rules."
After saying that, Du Anchen jumped up to the wall. She will still return to the Security Department tomorrow to meet the two of them and find a way to break the illusion, but she doesn't want to stay here any longer now.
There is only so much life in the Ping An Department, and Song Yu is definitely not among them. She was going to find Song Yu.
The huge Qinghe River is calm and quiet. Du Anchen's red clothes rose and fell in the night sky, but when the red sun rose and Du Anchen returned to the Peace Department with exhaustion, she still could not find Song Yu. For such a big person, it was as if something had suddenly wiped him away.
Xie Nanshi and Wuming were both in the atrium. Xie Nanshi was just adjusting his breath aside, while Wuming had many porridge and side dishes placed in front of him, as well as a plate of beautifully stacked pastries of various colors, which he was eating with his head down.
Du Anchen said nothing, holding his sword and leaning against the wall. She didn't dare to look at Wuming, because the moment she entered the atrium, Du Anchen realized in a daze that Wuming seemed to be somewhat similar to Song Yu.
In order to prevent this ridiculous idea from planting in his heart, Du Anchen tried hard not to care about it and not to forget it.
After Wuming put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, he looked at Xie Nanshi and Du Anchen, and said with a smile: "We should follow the same action as last time. I will go with Xie Nanshi. Miss Du, please hand over a list of those who should be given. I will still give you the money."
I don't know if it was Du Anchen's misunderstanding, but Wuming's tired emotions seemed to have become much more refreshing, and he now looked like Song Yu, who although sometimes was glib, had his own unique way of making decisions.
Due to their previous experience, the three of them successfully uncovered the strange ghosts that had already occupied human skin this time. The three people's cultivation was more than enough to suppress these strange ghosts, and their journey went smoothly without any surprises.
Then we went from house to house to eradicate the belief in evil gods, so that everyone should not believe in ghosts and gods, but believe in science.
Du Anchen consciously stayed behind and became invisible at this stage. Originally, this was all a troublesome matter that Song Yu had to deal with. Just because he was wary of Wu Ming, Du Anchen did not become completely invisible, but stayed on the sidelines.
Xie Nanshi also pushed Wu Ming, or Song Yu, to do this, because this was his duty. What he has to do now is to integrate his martial arts so that he won't make any mistakes when facing the evil god in the future.
It would be better not to let that weak child become a bridge, and it would be better to keep everyone out of danger. Recalling the thrill of the first confrontation with the evil god, even Xie Nanshi had to cheer up.
The place where the spiritual energy in the city gathers is in the Department of Peace, and this time the decisive battle location set by Xie Nanshi is still here. It's just that unlike the formation he and Song Yu had hastily set up last time, Jie Nanshi is now more well-prepared and even left the town to find qualified jade, flowers and other objects in the surrounding area to enhance the effectiveness of the formation.
When Xie Nanshi finished all this and returned to the Safety Department, Song Yu, whom Du Anchen insisted was another person, was doing evening classes in the atrium.
Even though Xie Nanshi is a proud man of heaven, he has to admit that Song Yu's current cultivation level is not weak. He is more like the person he once had to use all his spiritual power to condense his sword energy into an arrow to deal with him.
But what Du Anchen said before did not leave traces in Xie Nanshi's heart. Facing the current Song Yu, he did have a strange sense of dissonance, as if something important had been ignored by him. But every time he wanted to remember it well, he would feel that there were countless pictures overlapping in his mind. It seemed that there was a lot of exciting information, but in fact he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Master Jie!" Song Yu put away his sword moves. When he saw Jie Nanshi, he ran forward with a smile and looked around again: "Miss Du is not with you?"
"Why is she with me?" Xie Nanshi didn't understand why the other party asked this.
"She has always cared about you. Although she is the city lord's personal guard, I can only use money to drive her, but she is often willing to take the initiative to do something for you." Song Yu smiled bitterly and lowered his head, "I know this is not the answer. It’s Taoist Master’s fault, but I’m not bad either. With such a big gap, I feel a little bit...jealous in my heart.”
He was so magnanimous, but it made Xie Nanshi feel a little hypocritical.
Regarding what Song Yu said, this situation was actually not uncommon on their journey. Song Yu did show a little irritability because of this, but more of it was helplessness and pride that "they don't understand appreciation". But now this Song Yu, who is somewhat sad about spring and autumn, makes Xie Nanshi instinctively want to take a step back and distance himself from the other party.
But Xie Nanshi held back. Not only did he hold back, he also asked: "Do you like Miss Du?"
"When you get along day and night, there will always be some feelings." Song Yu tilted his head slightly and said seriously.
"Even if you have a fiancée?" Xie Nanshi's voice suddenly became deeper.
