Quick time out of nothing
Chapter 53
Probably due to lack of strength, Mu Siyan gradually changed from the initial brisk walking to stumbling.
Su Muwan chased her out of the town, looked left and right to make sure there was no one around, and immediately used "teleport" to catch up with her.
[Di~ Congratulations to the host, the sub-skill "Teleportation" has been upgraded, and the current skill level is level six. 】
The two were silent all the way.
The gate of Qinggu Town was covered with strange-shaped cracks due to the perennial wind and rain, and it was completely decayed, like an old man in his dying years silently waiting for his return.
While Su Muwan was still thinking about how to sneak into the town safely, Mu Siyan walked in through the town gate on his own.
Seeing this, Su Muwan didn't care so much anymore, and quickly followed her.
The town was unusually quiet, with no one to be seen.Not long after the two walked, a row of large stone sculptures approached them, blocking their way.There are only two winding paths on the left and right, and I don't know where they lead.
Su Muwan took a careful look at the stone carvings in front of him, and found that the one on the right was still smooth, while the one on the left was covered with moss.Looking at the trail again, the one on the right is flat and straight without weeds, while the one on the left is rugged, muddy and overgrown with weeds.
"Go left." Su Muwan looked back and whispered to Mu Siyan.
"Why?" Mu Siyan asked her.
"It's not easy to go the wrong way, so few people walk." Su Muwan paused, and continued, "It's easy to block open spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. In the face of the unknown, concealment should be the first choice."
Mu Siyan nodded upon hearing this.The two immediately walked along the winding path on the left, and it didn't take long before they came to a remote alley.
"From this point of view, if we had just turned right, we would most likely be on the street." Seeing this, Su Muwan heaved a sigh of relief.
"You are really smart." Mu Siyan's tone was gratified, and then she seemed to be mocking herself, "So, you already knew..."
Before they finished speaking, a series of messy footsteps came from behind the two, and the momentum was huge.Then came two familiar voices.
"Hiss~ It seems that there are new prey here. I don't know if they have something that the ghost king wants."
"Hey, you said, these days we have been working so hard to find that lamp, and we have been charged with 'incompetent work'. But Xu Yi, that stinky bitch, did nothing, but was praised by the ghost king .I think it's sold..."
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense, you stupid big man! We can't afford to mess with her under the cover of Granny Meng!"
"No, it's Huang Yi and Li Shi! Come on, hide first!" Su Muwan said, looking at the long and narrow alley, but found that there was no place to hide.
When the fire was imminent, the door of a house in front was opened, and an old male voice came from inside: "Come quickly, both of you!"
Su Muwan and Mu Siyan looked at each other, and ran forward in unison.The moment the door was closed, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, you juniors, it's true that 'newborn calves are not afraid of tigers'. You actually came to Qinggu Town at this time... Thanks to the alleys, if this is on the main road..." the housekeeper The owner is an octogenarian old man with his left eye closed, and he staggers to lead the two into the front hall.
Mu Siyan was feeling uneasy, and asked the old man respectfully, "Old man, what do you mean? The younger generation heard that Qinggu Town is known as the 'Hometown of Spring Tea', and the four seasons are like spring, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. "
The old man sighed when he heard the words: "Oh, it's all in the past, so don't mention it. Today's Qinggu Town is just a hell on earth!"
"I would like to hear more about it." Su Muwan also followed Mu Siyan's example, with a respectful tone.
"You know, who are the people who were outside just now? They are the five imperial envoys of ghosts! About a few months ago, they came here, and Qinggu Town has never been peaceful since then. They and the people in the town It is said that whoever can find the treasure called 'Blue Lantern' and give it to them will be given endless wealth and be freed from the suffering of reincarnation." The gully on the old man's face is clearly visible, "Everyone is greedy. The difference of one thought , comparable to evil spirits."
【998: Isn't "freedom from the suffering of reincarnation" the same as giving eternal life to those who pay tribute to the "green lantern"? 】
[Su Muwan: Well, Mu Siyan also said before that Ghost Dao Palm can eliminate reincarnations other than Shenmen and Xianting. 】
【998: Wei Jijue is probably crazy...】
Mu Siyan was excited when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Then, has the old man ever seen a girl with a lamp, Hua Xinnianhua, named 'Chu Linghan'?!"
The old man was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "Do you know Miss Ling Han?"
"She is my cousin." Mu Siyan's eyes turned red again.
Who would have thought that the old man would kneel down to Mu Siyan immediately after hearing this.
Mu Siyan was taken aback, and quickly helped him up and said, "Old man, what are you doing?!"
"Little girl, just listen to the old man...Miss Ling Han is the benefactor of our family, but we killed her because of our ignorance..." The old man burst into tears suddenly.
When Mu Siyan heard this, the hands supporting the old man trembled slightly.
"When I first met Miss Ling Han, the old man was chopping firewood in the nearby mountains, and accidentally sprained his foot. It was her who set the bone for the old man, so that the old man would not die on the mountain. To repay her kindness, I saw her alone again, So she took her in. She said that her hometown was in Penglai, and she repeated the same assignment every day. This time she went down the mountain to violate the taboo, just to find her cousin who hadn’t returned for many years and hadn’t heard from her. Until I received the news of the death of my only child—he had died in battle a year ago. I don’t know where the bones are, so how can I go back to my hometown? Miss Ling Han is kind-hearted, and she can’t see the old man crying every day After washing his face, he went to the battlefield in person, led the dead body with a lamp, and finally succeeded in transporting the dog's body back, so that he could rest in peace. A girl's family, who is not related to me, has done this for me, old man I couldn’t thank you enough, and when I heard that her parents had both died, I swore to treat her as my own.” The old man began to recall in a daze, “Her secret is only known to me and my wife. In order to protect her, we didn’t say a word about it.” .”
"When the five imperial envoys came to the town, we never thought about sending her out of Qinggu Town, thinking that we could protect her right under our noses. But how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world? I don't know who said 'Zeng Yu at night' I saw Ling Han holding a lamp with my own eyes, followed by my child's corpse. Before we could tell whether it was true or not, someone immediately pointed their finger at Ling Han. Before we could evacuate, we were surrounded by the townspeople Tears welled up on his face, "Unable to argue, and because of old age, the old man was stabbed blind in his left eye, my wife was beaten to death in that battle, and Ling Miss Han was also taken away...Later, the old man searched for it many times, but returned to no avail."
At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate.
"Old man, open the door!"
"Hurry up! If we don't open the door, we will move!"
"No, hurry up and hide in the backyard! These people must be coming for you! The townspeople have no news after handing Miss Ling Han to those two people, so they set their targets on the outsiders again." body. People with something similar to the 'green lantern' will be captured and handed over to those two people; while those without something long will be killed directly." As the old man spoke, he led The two went to the back hall.
"Then what do you do, old man?!" Mu Siyan hesitated.
"I am ashamed of Miss Ling Han, and I can't repay it in this life. If I can repay it to my descendants, I will be able to wish for it, and I will die without regret!" Seeing what Mu Siyan wanted to say, the old man directly interrupted her, "It doesn't take long Say, hide in the backyard quickly! There is another door in the backyard, find a chance to leave the town..."
Seeing that the door was about to be kicked open, Su Muwan said "Take care" to the old man and hurriedly dragged Mu Siyan, who was still hesitating, into the backyard.
The back yard is wide and open, and the exit door is close at hand.
The position of the back door is too conspicuous, maybe someone is waiting on the sidelines.Moreover, the inertia of thinking will make them think that we will definitely run away in a panic.
Su Muwan thought about it, and decided to hide in the grass in the backyard for a while.
The heart-piercing screams of the old man came from the front hall, and the sound of the stick being swished could be vaguely heard.
"Tell me, where did you hide the person?!"
"This old man has never... seen...anyone...how come the word 'hidden'...says..."
"If you don't know what's good or bad, then don't blame us for being rude!"
"You're an old bastard! It's really cheap for you to only be blind in the left eye. You should dig out both of your eyes! But it's not too late now hahahahaha~"
Mu Siyan got up suddenly when she heard the sound, and was about to run towards the front hall, but was stopped by Su Muwan.
"Hurry up and let me go, I have to save the old man! If it were her, she would definitely not just hide like this!" Mu Siyan yelled at Su Muwan with red eyes.
In an instant, Su Muwan suddenly remembered the words Xiao Wangzhi said when they parted - the more you prefer someone, the more you will be like that person.
So, who do you look like?
Su Muwan was suddenly in a daze, and something flashed through his mind.
When she realized it, Mu Siyan had already run over, the sound of sticks stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of people falling to the ground.
Create an illusion with "mind discrimination" and "control mind".
Su Muwan was a little thankful, but the next two voices made her nervous again.
"It can be considered that you have been lured out, and now I can make a mission to the ghost king."
"Hey Li Shi, that's not right, there is another one?"
[998: The hosts are those two bastards, Huang Yi and Li Shi! 】
Su Muwan immediately took out the Tang knife "King's Name" from the personal item library.
It's just that my force value has been reset by the main program, so I don't know if I can beat the two ghosts.
[998: Host, why is it so troublesome?Go directly to the "green lantern" and kill them!But I was afraid that Wei Jijue had given them some amulets to guard against the attack of the "green lantern". 】
"Try it." Su Muwan heard that he summoned the "Blue Lantern" and closed his eyes.
In an instant, everything seemed to be silent.
"My lord, what are your orders?" In the darkness, there was that old voice from the beginning again.
Su Muwan recalled the different uses of the "green lamp" that Mu Siyan had mentioned, and said two words lightly: "Judgment."
As soon as the words fell, the "green lantern" in her hand suddenly became red, as if it was burning, but it could not be extinguished in the continuous drizzle for a long time.
In the next second, there seemed to be a gust of wind sweeping around Su Muwan.And she stood quietly in Fengyan, with long flowing hair and flying skirt.
After a while, the beautiful eyes opened again, and her face was a little pale.
She walked slowly to the front hall.
Mu Siyan slumped on the ground, and the old man fell to the ground and groaned.As for the others, they all stood still and became wax figures, which looked like a framed painting from a distance.
Seeing this, Su Muwan had a vague guess in his heart.She stepped forward and lightly touched Li Shi with her fingertips.
"Li Shi" scattered all over the place in an instant.
"Judgment" can judge people as well as ghosts.
[998: Oh my god, if the ghosts are scattered like this, it's really a ghost, right? 】
Su Muwan first helped the old man to the chair, then turned around and helped Mu Siyan up.Seeing her dull eyes, as if immersed in a nightmare, he gently shook her shoulders and asked with concern: "How are you?"
It took Mu Siyan a long time to react, and she actually smiled at Su Muwan: "Thank you for letting me see the stupid things I have done all these years." After speaking, she stood up and went to check the old man's injuries.
Seeing this, Su Muwan belatedly went to the kitchen sink to get some water.For a moment, she felt that the world was spinning around her eyes.
"It's nothing serious, it's just a skin injury." Mu Siyan said as she helped the old man wash his face, and then explained to himself as if he understood Su Muwan's doubts, "The trial of the 'green lantern' 'Affects all creatures within the range, whether it is their body or their soul."
"What about 'salvation'? Human flesh and bones?" Su Muwan stroked his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes lightly.
"That's all rumors. How can there be such a good thing in the world? If it is true, the previous masters of the 'Green Lantern' will not fall." Mu Siyan looked at her with a smile.
"Then what effect does it have?" Su Muwan felt that the world was spinning even more powerfully, and he could clearly feel it even when he closed his eyes.
"Come back."
Come back?What's the meaning?
But at this moment, Su Muwan lost consciousness before he had time to think about it.
"My lord, that soul seems to have something to tell her."
"Let him sue Mu Siyan."
"My lord, she is already lingering, and Mu Siyan is also in jeopardy. It is only with your strength that she has survived until now. Therefore, the spiritual power of the two of you is far from enough to support each other to communicate directly. And the one you are protecting... ...."
"..."
"You can rest assured that she can't hurt this one."
"Stop being noisy."
What does this woman want to do?
Su Muwan was thinking about it in a daze, but when she opened her eyes slightly, she saw a man in a white official uniform with a white soul-caller on his shoulder, which was very conspicuous in the darkness.
"You are..." Su Muwan was still in a daze.
"I am anonymous, known as 'White Impermanence'." The man in white replied solemnly.
Su Muwan woke up a little bit, and said with a wary face, "Are you also the 'Five Royal Envoys'?"
"Yes." Bai Wuchang nodded.
Su Muwan became even more wary when he heard the words, staring at him without saying a word.
"Girl, don't panic. Although Black and White Wuchang ranks among the 'Five Royal Envoys', they are under the command of Granny Meng." Bai Wuchang's tone actually contained a bit of helplessness.
After hearing this, Su Muwan didn't show any signs of relaxing: "Grandma Meng is also a person of the ghost way, so what's the difference if she is subordinate to the king of ghosts?"
"It's fine to rebel." Bai Wuchang muttered.
Su Muwan: "..."
"I came here this time to introduce someone to the girl." Bai Wuchang realized what he said hastily changed the subject.
He disappeared as soon as he finished speaking, and the surroundings returned to the previous darkness.
Not long after, a charming figure appeared in the darkness, looming, as if it would be gone with the wind in the next second.
"The little girl's name is Qingluan, and she used to be the lamp spirit of the 'Shuo Lantern'." Before Su Muwan could speak, Qianying answered Su Muwan's doubts first.
"It used to be?" Su Muwan frowned upon hearing this.
"Well, the Lord of the New Moon Lamp has passed away. Now the contract has expired, and the little girl has become a lonely ghost again." Qingluan's face is full of sadness, and I feel pity for it.
"The little girl was seriously injured by two of the five royal envoys, and I'm afraid time is running out. When she was sleeping, Qingluan just wanted to fulfill the master's long-cherished wish, and begged the girl to introduce Mu Siyan to me."
"How to introduce?" Su Muwan asked her.
"Touch the body, just draw the soul with the mind." Qingluan's voice also became a little ethereal.
"Okay..." Su Muwan said, and immediately closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was wading in a ruined temple.
"You've woken up!" Mu Siyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Muwan opened her eyes.
"All the people in the town have been turned into wax statues because of your 'judgment'. I didn't dare to touch them. I was also afraid that ghosts would follow me, so I didn't dare to take the main road. How could I come here by taking a small road? I came from a ruined temple. You make it up for now, we can wait until night..."
Su Muwan hastily made a "shut up" gesture to stop her chattering.
"Close your eyes, someone wants to see you."
Mu Siyan looked at her suspiciously when she heard the words, but followed suit and muttered, "Who is it?"
Su Muwan didn't return her, put his hand on her shoulder, and closed his eyes.
The scenes around the two of them alternated, and they finally stopped in front of an old locust tree with coiled dragons and crouching dragons.
"Okay, open your eyes." Su Muwan said to Mu Siyan after seeing Qingluan waiting under the tree.
Mu Siyan opened her eyes in response, and was slightly taken aback when she saw Qingluan: "You are..."
Qingluan was already weeping uncontrollably.
"She is the lamp spirit of the 'Shuo Lantern'." Su Muwan chimed in when seeing this.
When Mu Siyan heard this, she had an unbelievable expression on her face.
"After the master was captured by the five imperial envoys that day, she suffered all kinds of inhuman torture. She feared that I would be swallowed up by them, so she shattered the contract and let me leave, which was a serious backlash. How can Qingluan! Disappointed by my master, I tried my best to escape, but unexpectedly I was attacked by them on the way and was seriously injured. Today is the end of the day. That's fine, I can go with the master."
"Impossible, you are lying to me!" Mu Siyan staggered a few steps back with red eyes, and argued, "I can clearly still feel the existence of the 'Shuo Lantern'! Even though it is faint, it really exists. There is still breath!"
"That's because the contract was terminated not long ago, and the spiritual power of the 'Shuo Lantern' still remains on my body..." Qingluan choked up.
"Impossible...this can't be true!" Mu Siyan blinked her red eyes lightly, and tears immediately fell down like pearls with broken strings.
"As I was dying, I wanted to help the master fulfill her long-cherished wish, and convey to you a word that she had been thinking about all day long." Qingluan stabilized her emotions, and said slowly:
"In life, you should come back, and in death, you should love longing."
After finishing speaking, she nodded to Su Muwan to express her gratitude, and then her figure gradually drifted away, with a smile on her mouth like when the show ended.
Mu Siyan knelt down on the ground instantly after hearing these words, weeping helplessly.
Su Muwan looked at her silently from the sidelines, all the thousands of words turned into a sigh.
I don't know how long it took, Mu Siyan stopped crying, and murmured: "The Lantern Clan has a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, and that is to select the outstanding ones from each generation to become 'Guides'. The duties of 'Guides' , is to transport the corpses of those who died in foreign lands back to their hometown. In addition to attracting corpses, if necessary, they can also attract souls and send them to the bank of the Wangchuan River. The elders have told us that when we cross people, we cross ourselves. But while accumulating kindness, there is also a price to pay. Every time a 'guide' becomes a person, he loses one year of life."
After a pause, I continued: "I was supposed to be a 'guide', but because I was afraid of death and didn't want to be bound, I imposed responsibility on the person I cared about the most, and finally killed her."
Do you impose your own responsibility on the person you care about the most?
Su Muwan was in a trance again when she heard the words. She vaguely remembered that she had done such a thing before.
and after?
She can't remember.
"This is probably the so-called 'karma'. I failed to save others, so I couldn't save myself either." Mu Siyan smiled in relief.
"No, you succeeded. You crossed Zhong Yu, and you also crossed me." Su Muwan said seriously.
"I offended you a lot earlier." Mu Siyan smiled wryly, "I think you are so smart, you already knew that I didn't feel safe at first."
"I have been suspicious since I first saw your lamp, because it is so beautiful, and it is rare. In addition, the five royal envoys pestered you endlessly before you got the lamp, which shows your The spiritual power is so strong. So I guess it is most likely the 'green lantern'. If so, as long as you are willing to replace Chu Linghan, she can also be free. But the boring and thankless task of 'guiding people' Homework, no matter who it is, will not be willing to do it. So I thought, as long as I can trap your soul, I can easily control your body. I did. I wanted to let you immerse yourself In my memory, I will never wake up. But I didn’t expect you to be able to get rid of my control and get a compatible lamp spirit. I didn’t believe that the “dark lamp” said that it couldn’t see through you. In order to further Let yourself give up, I put you in danger." As she spoke, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"In the end, everything was just as the 'dark lamp' said, and you came back unharmed. And your lamp spirit is very powerful. When you played charades earlier, she was actually warning me not to get your idea. I knew that night I have been seen through, and I thought what should I do if you kill me. It turned out that I was too worried..." Mu Siyan pretended to be relaxed, "I beg you one last thing , can you join me in searching for my cousin's body?"
"Okay." Su Muwan said without thinking.
As soon as the words fell, Su Muzhe suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.She waved her sleeves, and the three of them returned to the ruined temple.Twilight slanted in at the gate, feeling a little depressed for no reason.
"No need, you come with me."
She led the two of them in all directions, and finally came to a chaotic mound, filled with ancient desolation in the twilight.The solitary tombs stand alone, as if they are waiting for someone who will come to take them home in the years.
"All the outsiders they killed were thrown here. These steles were erected by some townspeople who had left the town secretly after leaving the town." Looking at these inscriptions, Su Muzhe seemed a little moved , In the afterglow of the setting sun, it is charming and charming.
Seeing this, Mu Siyan respectfully curtseyed to Su Muzhe like those before: "Thank you, sir."
"No, you should thank Hei Wuchang." Su Muzhe resumed his usual expressionless face, as if the subtle emotions just now were just an illusion.
Su Muwan looked at the countless tombstones in front of him, and was a little worried: "But there are tens of thousands of bones here..."
"Then I'll send them all home, together with hers." Mu Siyan smiled softly, and then hurriedly said as if she knew Su Muwan was going to stop her, "Even if I don't To do it, I don't have much time left. 'Dark and new moon are connected', 'new moon' is the beginning, 'dark' is the end, 'new moon' disappears, 'dark' recurs, 'new moon' starts and 'dark' ends. So she did not When it’s done, let me take over.”
"Chu Linghan would never think that this is my biggest lie. She thought that I could still live happily after she left. But this time, we really will never be separated again." She As he said, he turned and looked at Su Muwan, "I can't accompany you on the road ahead. Take care. Remember, do what you can, and don't faint so easily, because I don't know if there will be someone in the future Carry you to a safe place. As for candied haws, you should eat less. If you hear too much, it will damage your speech. When you buy it, you should carefully observe its color. The preserved fruit is flawless and the sugar coating is clear. By the way, these are for you. "After speaking, he stuffed a large bag of money into Su Muwan's hand.
After thinking for a while, she straightened Su Muwan's skirt like the elders do to the younger generation, and said while arranging: "Let the responsibility of 'leading the way' end on me. In this way, you There is endless freedom."
After tidying up, she took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I've been nagging, I should be on my way."
Following Mu Siyan's order, all the lonely graves in front of him turned into Xiuzhu, and all the bones turned into fireflies.
"If there is a barrier, then work hard to break it. In this way, you can reach the person in your heart. Don't give up lightly." The voice gradually faded away.
Su Muwan didn't dare to watch her leave and kept her head down.If you take a closer look, you will find that a tear fell quietly down her cheek, and finally sank into the front of her front without a sound.
After a long time, she murmured: "Fuck you to be high above me, I am humbled into the dust!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
Angry, failed every day!I will update it on time at 9 o'clock next time with fewer codes!
Mu Siyan has gone to sleep, I wish her and Chu Linghan a lifetime together.
Damn, this chapter says that I cried, strange tears?
Also, I made a self-made cover, which was called ugly by the boss...QAQ
Su Muwan chased her out of the town, looked left and right to make sure there was no one around, and immediately used "teleport" to catch up with her.
[Di~ Congratulations to the host, the sub-skill "Teleportation" has been upgraded, and the current skill level is level six. 】
The two were silent all the way.
The gate of Qinggu Town was covered with strange-shaped cracks due to the perennial wind and rain, and it was completely decayed, like an old man in his dying years silently waiting for his return.
While Su Muwan was still thinking about how to sneak into the town safely, Mu Siyan walked in through the town gate on his own.
Seeing this, Su Muwan didn't care so much anymore, and quickly followed her.
The town was unusually quiet, with no one to be seen.Not long after the two walked, a row of large stone sculptures approached them, blocking their way.There are only two winding paths on the left and right, and I don't know where they lead.
Su Muwan took a careful look at the stone carvings in front of him, and found that the one on the right was still smooth, while the one on the left was covered with moss.Looking at the trail again, the one on the right is flat and straight without weeds, while the one on the left is rugged, muddy and overgrown with weeds.
"Go left." Su Muwan looked back and whispered to Mu Siyan.
"Why?" Mu Siyan asked her.
"It's not easy to go the wrong way, so few people walk." Su Muwan paused, and continued, "It's easy to block open spears, but hard to guard against hidden arrows. In the face of the unknown, concealment should be the first choice."
Mu Siyan nodded upon hearing this.The two immediately walked along the winding path on the left, and it didn't take long before they came to a remote alley.
"From this point of view, if we had just turned right, we would most likely be on the street." Seeing this, Su Muwan heaved a sigh of relief.
"You are really smart." Mu Siyan's tone was gratified, and then she seemed to be mocking herself, "So, you already knew..."
Before they finished speaking, a series of messy footsteps came from behind the two, and the momentum was huge.Then came two familiar voices.
"Hiss~ It seems that there are new prey here. I don't know if they have something that the ghost king wants."
"Hey, you said, these days we have been working so hard to find that lamp, and we have been charged with 'incompetent work'. But Xu Yi, that stinky bitch, did nothing, but was praised by the ghost king .I think it's sold..."
"Hush! Don't talk nonsense, you stupid big man! We can't afford to mess with her under the cover of Granny Meng!"
"No, it's Huang Yi and Li Shi! Come on, hide first!" Su Muwan said, looking at the long and narrow alley, but found that there was no place to hide.
When the fire was imminent, the door of a house in front was opened, and an old male voice came from inside: "Come quickly, both of you!"
Su Muwan and Mu Siyan looked at each other, and ran forward in unison.The moment the door was closed, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hey, you juniors, it's true that 'newborn calves are not afraid of tigers'. You actually came to Qinggu Town at this time... Thanks to the alleys, if this is on the main road..." the housekeeper The owner is an octogenarian old man with his left eye closed, and he staggers to lead the two into the front hall.
Mu Siyan was feeling uneasy, and asked the old man respectfully, "Old man, what do you mean? The younger generation heard that Qinggu Town is known as the 'Hometown of Spring Tea', and the four seasons are like spring, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. "
The old man sighed when he heard the words: "Oh, it's all in the past, so don't mention it. Today's Qinggu Town is just a hell on earth!"
"I would like to hear more about it." Su Muwan also followed Mu Siyan's example, with a respectful tone.
"You know, who are the people who were outside just now? They are the five imperial envoys of ghosts! About a few months ago, they came here, and Qinggu Town has never been peaceful since then. They and the people in the town It is said that whoever can find the treasure called 'Blue Lantern' and give it to them will be given endless wealth and be freed from the suffering of reincarnation." The gully on the old man's face is clearly visible, "Everyone is greedy. The difference of one thought , comparable to evil spirits."
【998: Isn't "freedom from the suffering of reincarnation" the same as giving eternal life to those who pay tribute to the "green lantern"? 】
[Su Muwan: Well, Mu Siyan also said before that Ghost Dao Palm can eliminate reincarnations other than Shenmen and Xianting. 】
【998: Wei Jijue is probably crazy...】
Mu Siyan was excited when she heard the words, and hurriedly asked: "Then, has the old man ever seen a girl with a lamp, Hua Xinnianhua, named 'Chu Linghan'?!"
The old man was slightly surprised when he heard the words: "Do you know Miss Ling Han?"
"She is my cousin." Mu Siyan's eyes turned red again.
Who would have thought that the old man would kneel down to Mu Siyan immediately after hearing this.
Mu Siyan was taken aback, and quickly helped him up and said, "Old man, what are you doing?!"
"Little girl, just listen to the old man...Miss Ling Han is the benefactor of our family, but we killed her because of our ignorance..." The old man burst into tears suddenly.
When Mu Siyan heard this, the hands supporting the old man trembled slightly.
"When I first met Miss Ling Han, the old man was chopping firewood in the nearby mountains, and accidentally sprained his foot. It was her who set the bone for the old man, so that the old man would not die on the mountain. To repay her kindness, I saw her alone again, So she took her in. She said that her hometown was in Penglai, and she repeated the same assignment every day. This time she went down the mountain to violate the taboo, just to find her cousin who hadn’t returned for many years and hadn’t heard from her. Until I received the news of the death of my only child—he had died in battle a year ago. I don’t know where the bones are, so how can I go back to my hometown? Miss Ling Han is kind-hearted, and she can’t see the old man crying every day After washing his face, he went to the battlefield in person, led the dead body with a lamp, and finally succeeded in transporting the dog's body back, so that he could rest in peace. A girl's family, who is not related to me, has done this for me, old man I couldn’t thank you enough, and when I heard that her parents had both died, I swore to treat her as my own.” The old man began to recall in a daze, “Her secret is only known to me and my wife. In order to protect her, we didn’t say a word about it.” .”
"When the five imperial envoys came to the town, we never thought about sending her out of Qinggu Town, thinking that we could protect her right under our noses. But how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world? I don't know who said 'Zeng Yu at night' I saw Ling Han holding a lamp with my own eyes, followed by my child's corpse. Before we could tell whether it was true or not, someone immediately pointed their finger at Ling Han. Before we could evacuate, we were surrounded by the townspeople Tears welled up on his face, "Unable to argue, and because of old age, the old man was stabbed blind in his left eye, my wife was beaten to death in that battle, and Ling Miss Han was also taken away...Later, the old man searched for it many times, but returned to no avail."
At this moment, there was a commotion at the gate.
"Old man, open the door!"
"Hurry up! If we don't open the door, we will move!"
"No, hurry up and hide in the backyard! These people must be coming for you! The townspeople have no news after handing Miss Ling Han to those two people, so they set their targets on the outsiders again." body. People with something similar to the 'green lantern' will be captured and handed over to those two people; while those without something long will be killed directly." As the old man spoke, he led The two went to the back hall.
"Then what do you do, old man?!" Mu Siyan hesitated.
"I am ashamed of Miss Ling Han, and I can't repay it in this life. If I can repay it to my descendants, I will be able to wish for it, and I will die without regret!" Seeing what Mu Siyan wanted to say, the old man directly interrupted her, "It doesn't take long Say, hide in the backyard quickly! There is another door in the backyard, find a chance to leave the town..."
Seeing that the door was about to be kicked open, Su Muwan said "Take care" to the old man and hurriedly dragged Mu Siyan, who was still hesitating, into the backyard.
The back yard is wide and open, and the exit door is close at hand.
The position of the back door is too conspicuous, maybe someone is waiting on the sidelines.Moreover, the inertia of thinking will make them think that we will definitely run away in a panic.
Su Muwan thought about it, and decided to hide in the grass in the backyard for a while.
The heart-piercing screams of the old man came from the front hall, and the sound of the stick being swished could be vaguely heard.
"Tell me, where did you hide the person?!"
"This old man has never... seen...anyone...how come the word 'hidden'...says..."
"If you don't know what's good or bad, then don't blame us for being rude!"
"You're an old bastard! It's really cheap for you to only be blind in the left eye. You should dig out both of your eyes! But it's not too late now hahahahaha~"
Mu Siyan got up suddenly when she heard the sound, and was about to run towards the front hall, but was stopped by Su Muwan.
"Hurry up and let me go, I have to save the old man! If it were her, she would definitely not just hide like this!" Mu Siyan yelled at Su Muwan with red eyes.
In an instant, Su Muwan suddenly remembered the words Xiao Wangzhi said when they parted - the more you prefer someone, the more you will be like that person.
So, who do you look like?
Su Muwan was suddenly in a daze, and something flashed through his mind.
When she realized it, Mu Siyan had already run over, the sound of sticks stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of people falling to the ground.
Create an illusion with "mind discrimination" and "control mind".
Su Muwan was a little thankful, but the next two voices made her nervous again.
"It can be considered that you have been lured out, and now I can make a mission to the ghost king."
"Hey Li Shi, that's not right, there is another one?"
[998: The hosts are those two bastards, Huang Yi and Li Shi! 】
Su Muwan immediately took out the Tang knife "King's Name" from the personal item library.
It's just that my force value has been reset by the main program, so I don't know if I can beat the two ghosts.
[998: Host, why is it so troublesome?Go directly to the "green lantern" and kill them!But I was afraid that Wei Jijue had given them some amulets to guard against the attack of the "green lantern". 】
"Try it." Su Muwan heard that he summoned the "Blue Lantern" and closed his eyes.
In an instant, everything seemed to be silent.
"My lord, what are your orders?" In the darkness, there was that old voice from the beginning again.
Su Muwan recalled the different uses of the "green lamp" that Mu Siyan had mentioned, and said two words lightly: "Judgment."
As soon as the words fell, the "green lantern" in her hand suddenly became red, as if it was burning, but it could not be extinguished in the continuous drizzle for a long time.
In the next second, there seemed to be a gust of wind sweeping around Su Muwan.And she stood quietly in Fengyan, with long flowing hair and flying skirt.
After a while, the beautiful eyes opened again, and her face was a little pale.
She walked slowly to the front hall.
Mu Siyan slumped on the ground, and the old man fell to the ground and groaned.As for the others, they all stood still and became wax figures, which looked like a framed painting from a distance.
Seeing this, Su Muwan had a vague guess in his heart.She stepped forward and lightly touched Li Shi with her fingertips.
"Li Shi" scattered all over the place in an instant.
"Judgment" can judge people as well as ghosts.
[998: Oh my god, if the ghosts are scattered like this, it's really a ghost, right? 】
Su Muwan first helped the old man to the chair, then turned around and helped Mu Siyan up.Seeing her dull eyes, as if immersed in a nightmare, he gently shook her shoulders and asked with concern: "How are you?"
It took Mu Siyan a long time to react, and she actually smiled at Su Muwan: "Thank you for letting me see the stupid things I have done all these years." After speaking, she stood up and went to check the old man's injuries.
Seeing this, Su Muwan belatedly went to the kitchen sink to get some water.For a moment, she felt that the world was spinning around her eyes.
"It's nothing serious, it's just a skin injury." Mu Siyan said as she helped the old man wash his face, and then explained to himself as if he understood Su Muwan's doubts, "The trial of the 'green lantern' 'Affects all creatures within the range, whether it is their body or their soul."
"What about 'salvation'? Human flesh and bones?" Su Muwan stroked his forehead with his hand and closed his eyes lightly.
"That's all rumors. How can there be such a good thing in the world? If it is true, the previous masters of the 'Green Lantern' will not fall." Mu Siyan looked at her with a smile.
"Then what effect does it have?" Su Muwan felt that the world was spinning even more powerfully, and he could clearly feel it even when he closed his eyes.
"Come back."
Come back?What's the meaning?
But at this moment, Su Muwan lost consciousness before he had time to think about it.
"My lord, that soul seems to have something to tell her."
"Let him sue Mu Siyan."
"My lord, she is already lingering, and Mu Siyan is also in jeopardy. It is only with your strength that she has survived until now. Therefore, the spiritual power of the two of you is far from enough to support each other to communicate directly. And the one you are protecting... ...."
"..."
"You can rest assured that she can't hurt this one."
"Stop being noisy."
What does this woman want to do?
Su Muwan was thinking about it in a daze, but when she opened her eyes slightly, she saw a man in a white official uniform with a white soul-caller on his shoulder, which was very conspicuous in the darkness.
"You are..." Su Muwan was still in a daze.
"I am anonymous, known as 'White Impermanence'." The man in white replied solemnly.
Su Muwan woke up a little bit, and said with a wary face, "Are you also the 'Five Royal Envoys'?"
"Yes." Bai Wuchang nodded.
Su Muwan became even more wary when he heard the words, staring at him without saying a word.
"Girl, don't panic. Although Black and White Wuchang ranks among the 'Five Royal Envoys', they are under the command of Granny Meng." Bai Wuchang's tone actually contained a bit of helplessness.
After hearing this, Su Muwan didn't show any signs of relaxing: "Grandma Meng is also a person of the ghost way, so what's the difference if she is subordinate to the king of ghosts?"
"It's fine to rebel." Bai Wuchang muttered.
Su Muwan: "..."
"I came here this time to introduce someone to the girl." Bai Wuchang realized what he said hastily changed the subject.
He disappeared as soon as he finished speaking, and the surroundings returned to the previous darkness.
Not long after, a charming figure appeared in the darkness, looming, as if it would be gone with the wind in the next second.
"The little girl's name is Qingluan, and she used to be the lamp spirit of the 'Shuo Lantern'." Before Su Muwan could speak, Qianying answered Su Muwan's doubts first.
"It used to be?" Su Muwan frowned upon hearing this.
"Well, the Lord of the New Moon Lamp has passed away. Now the contract has expired, and the little girl has become a lonely ghost again." Qingluan's face is full of sadness, and I feel pity for it.
"The little girl was seriously injured by two of the five royal envoys, and I'm afraid time is running out. When she was sleeping, Qingluan just wanted to fulfill the master's long-cherished wish, and begged the girl to introduce Mu Siyan to me."
"How to introduce?" Su Muwan asked her.
"Touch the body, just draw the soul with the mind." Qingluan's voice also became a little ethereal.
"Okay..." Su Muwan said, and immediately closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was wading in a ruined temple.
"You've woken up!" Mu Siyan breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Su Muwan opened her eyes.
"All the people in the town have been turned into wax statues because of your 'judgment'. I didn't dare to touch them. I was also afraid that ghosts would follow me, so I didn't dare to take the main road. How could I come here by taking a small road? I came from a ruined temple. You make it up for now, we can wait until night..."
Su Muwan hastily made a "shut up" gesture to stop her chattering.
"Close your eyes, someone wants to see you."
Mu Siyan looked at her suspiciously when she heard the words, but followed suit and muttered, "Who is it?"
Su Muwan didn't return her, put his hand on her shoulder, and closed his eyes.
The scenes around the two of them alternated, and they finally stopped in front of an old locust tree with coiled dragons and crouching dragons.
"Okay, open your eyes." Su Muwan said to Mu Siyan after seeing Qingluan waiting under the tree.
Mu Siyan opened her eyes in response, and was slightly taken aback when she saw Qingluan: "You are..."
Qingluan was already weeping uncontrollably.
"She is the lamp spirit of the 'Shuo Lantern'." Su Muwan chimed in when seeing this.
When Mu Siyan heard this, she had an unbelievable expression on her face.
"After the master was captured by the five imperial envoys that day, she suffered all kinds of inhuman torture. She feared that I would be swallowed up by them, so she shattered the contract and let me leave, which was a serious backlash. How can Qingluan! Disappointed by my master, I tried my best to escape, but unexpectedly I was attacked by them on the way and was seriously injured. Today is the end of the day. That's fine, I can go with the master."
"Impossible, you are lying to me!" Mu Siyan staggered a few steps back with red eyes, and argued, "I can clearly still feel the existence of the 'Shuo Lantern'! Even though it is faint, it really exists. There is still breath!"
"That's because the contract was terminated not long ago, and the spiritual power of the 'Shuo Lantern' still remains on my body..." Qingluan choked up.
"Impossible...this can't be true!" Mu Siyan blinked her red eyes lightly, and tears immediately fell down like pearls with broken strings.
"As I was dying, I wanted to help the master fulfill her long-cherished wish, and convey to you a word that she had been thinking about all day long." Qingluan stabilized her emotions, and said slowly:
"In life, you should come back, and in death, you should love longing."
After finishing speaking, she nodded to Su Muwan to express her gratitude, and then her figure gradually drifted away, with a smile on her mouth like when the show ended.
Mu Siyan knelt down on the ground instantly after hearing these words, weeping helplessly.
Su Muwan looked at her silently from the sidelines, all the thousands of words turned into a sigh.
I don't know how long it took, Mu Siyan stopped crying, and murmured: "The Lantern Clan has a rule that has been passed down from generation to generation, and that is to select the outstanding ones from each generation to become 'Guides'. The duties of 'Guides' , is to transport the corpses of those who died in foreign lands back to their hometown. In addition to attracting corpses, if necessary, they can also attract souls and send them to the bank of the Wangchuan River. The elders have told us that when we cross people, we cross ourselves. But while accumulating kindness, there is also a price to pay. Every time a 'guide' becomes a person, he loses one year of life."
After a pause, I continued: "I was supposed to be a 'guide', but because I was afraid of death and didn't want to be bound, I imposed responsibility on the person I cared about the most, and finally killed her."
Do you impose your own responsibility on the person you care about the most?
Su Muwan was in a trance again when she heard the words. She vaguely remembered that she had done such a thing before.
and after?
She can't remember.
"This is probably the so-called 'karma'. I failed to save others, so I couldn't save myself either." Mu Siyan smiled in relief.
"No, you succeeded. You crossed Zhong Yu, and you also crossed me." Su Muwan said seriously.
"I offended you a lot earlier." Mu Siyan smiled wryly, "I think you are so smart, you already knew that I didn't feel safe at first."
"I have been suspicious since I first saw your lamp, because it is so beautiful, and it is rare. In addition, the five royal envoys pestered you endlessly before you got the lamp, which shows your The spiritual power is so strong. So I guess it is most likely the 'green lantern'. If so, as long as you are willing to replace Chu Linghan, she can also be free. But the boring and thankless task of 'guiding people' Homework, no matter who it is, will not be willing to do it. So I thought, as long as I can trap your soul, I can easily control your body. I did. I wanted to let you immerse yourself In my memory, I will never wake up. But I didn’t expect you to be able to get rid of my control and get a compatible lamp spirit. I didn’t believe that the “dark lamp” said that it couldn’t see through you. In order to further Let yourself give up, I put you in danger." As she spoke, she smiled self-deprecatingly.
"In the end, everything was just as the 'dark lamp' said, and you came back unharmed. And your lamp spirit is very powerful. When you played charades earlier, she was actually warning me not to get your idea. I knew that night I have been seen through, and I thought what should I do if you kill me. It turned out that I was too worried..." Mu Siyan pretended to be relaxed, "I beg you one last thing , can you join me in searching for my cousin's body?"
"Okay." Su Muwan said without thinking.
As soon as the words fell, Su Muzhe suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.She waved her sleeves, and the three of them returned to the ruined temple.Twilight slanted in at the gate, feeling a little depressed for no reason.
"No need, you come with me."
She led the two of them in all directions, and finally came to a chaotic mound, filled with ancient desolation in the twilight.The solitary tombs stand alone, as if they are waiting for someone who will come to take them home in the years.
"All the outsiders they killed were thrown here. These steles were erected by some townspeople who had left the town secretly after leaving the town." Looking at these inscriptions, Su Muzhe seemed a little moved , In the afterglow of the setting sun, it is charming and charming.
Seeing this, Mu Siyan respectfully curtseyed to Su Muzhe like those before: "Thank you, sir."
"No, you should thank Hei Wuchang." Su Muzhe resumed his usual expressionless face, as if the subtle emotions just now were just an illusion.
Su Muwan looked at the countless tombstones in front of him, and was a little worried: "But there are tens of thousands of bones here..."
"Then I'll send them all home, together with hers." Mu Siyan smiled softly, and then hurriedly said as if she knew Su Muwan was going to stop her, "Even if I don't To do it, I don't have much time left. 'Dark and new moon are connected', 'new moon' is the beginning, 'dark' is the end, 'new moon' disappears, 'dark' recurs, 'new moon' starts and 'dark' ends. So she did not When it’s done, let me take over.”
"Chu Linghan would never think that this is my biggest lie. She thought that I could still live happily after she left. But this time, we really will never be separated again." She As he said, he turned and looked at Su Muwan, "I can't accompany you on the road ahead. Take care. Remember, do what you can, and don't faint so easily, because I don't know if there will be someone in the future Carry you to a safe place. As for candied haws, you should eat less. If you hear too much, it will damage your speech. When you buy it, you should carefully observe its color. The preserved fruit is flawless and the sugar coating is clear. By the way, these are for you. "After speaking, he stuffed a large bag of money into Su Muwan's hand.
After thinking for a while, she straightened Su Muwan's skirt like the elders do to the younger generation, and said while arranging: "Let the responsibility of 'leading the way' end on me. In this way, you There is endless freedom."
After tidying up, she took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I've been nagging, I should be on my way."
Following Mu Siyan's order, all the lonely graves in front of him turned into Xiuzhu, and all the bones turned into fireflies.
"If there is a barrier, then work hard to break it. In this way, you can reach the person in your heart. Don't give up lightly." The voice gradually faded away.
Su Muwan didn't dare to watch her leave and kept her head down.If you take a closer look, you will find that a tear fell quietly down her cheek, and finally sank into the front of her front without a sound.
After a long time, she murmured: "Fuck you to be high above me, I am humbled into the dust!"
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
