[Seven Five] Sword Que Merry

Chapter 48 [Wind Chill]

Three days later, the weather on the grassland is getting better and better.

Bai Yutang had just finished his breakfast, and came out of the back door with a branch in his mouth, when he saw Lianqiao standing motionless on the street, looking at someone.Looking along her line of sight, on the boundless green grassland, someone came on horseback, and the blue cloth robe was blown up in the wind.

"It's been several days." He also looked at Zhan Zhao and muttered to himself, "Nian Yi hasn't come back yet, so it must be true that he won't come back."

Lianqiao didn't turn her head, and answered absent-mindedly.

"It won't help if he keeps looking like this... Didn't he have dinner last night?"

Forsythia still said "hmm" lightly.

Bai Yutang shrugged and shook his head: "Why bother..."

Just as he was talking, Zhan Zhao on the other side had already dismounted, clenched his fists under his lips, frowned and coughed for a while, then looked up at them.

"Are you up? I just want to ask you to say goodbye."

"Farewell?" Bai Yutang was slightly taken aback, "Where are you going?"

He turned his face away and coughed twice, Fang said: "I'll go to Shuzhong."

Lianqiao immediately understood: "Are you going to Fengdu?"

"Ah."

She was stunned for a moment: "Are you still looking for her?"

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly: "Yes."

"Even if Feng is the junction of the worlds of humans and ghosts, it's not something that ordinary people can enter casually." Lian Qiao said anxiously, "If you can't find the guidance of the ghost messenger, you still can't go to the ghost world."

He said lightly: "Then look for it slowly."

"you!"

Never expecting him to be so stubborn, Lian Qiao was momentarily at a loss for words.

"Are you really going?" Bai Yutang looked at him hesitantly, "You look so bad, why don't you rest for a few days before leaving?"

Zhan Zhao pondered for a moment, he really had a terrible headache today, he nodded as he said, "Alright."

"Hey - hey! Brother Zhan!" Lian Qiao turned around and called the two of them, "If you make up your mind to go..." She bit her lower lip and hesitated, "I have a way to make you Go down."

Zhan Zhao stopped, and You You looked back at her: "Really?"

"But, but that..." Lian Qiao hesitated to speak, and then said timidly after a while, "You may lose your life."

He was startled for a moment, and asked her, "How much will it be folded?"

"I don't know about this, but Master has mentioned it. It is a big taboo for mortals to enter the ghost world, and the entry of Yin Qi into the body is very likely to damage their Yang life."

"That's also possible." Zhan Zhao nodded slightly, "Not necessarily, give it a try."

"Hey, don't you risk your own life!" Bai Yutang grabbed him, "Wouldn't she feel guilty if you did this?"

Zhan Zhao sighed lightly: "Do you have other ideas?"

"No, it's not. If you think about it more, maybe it will be there? Maybe in a few days, she will come back by herself after reading it."

Lian Qiao looked up at the two of them: "Well, you should go as early as possible and come back as early as possible. I heard from Master that there is a big city in the ghost world, and she is there in eight out of ten. You should move faster, maybe You won't lose your life."

"it is good."

"But..." Lian Qiao scratched her ears, looked at Zhan Zhao with some embarrassment, and smiled blushingly, "But I'm not good at learning, so maybe you'll come back before you see her."

"..."

Zhan Zhao helplessly stretched out his hand to pinch the space between his brows, and felt a severe headache: "Don't let me stay here forever."

"No, absolutely not." Lian Qiao assured him, patted her chest, and then said with a flattering smile, "Even if I'm not careful...then there is still my master?"

Bai Yutang: "..."

Underground, in the capital city of the ghost domain, which is thousands of feet deep, the surroundings are pitch black, because there is no sunlight, the climate is much colder than the Yangjian.Nian Yi has lived there for a long time, basking in the sun every day, and now he is still a little unaccustomed to returning to the ghost world, and he doesn't want to wake up when the quilt is covered.

Shi Yin was reading a book at a table next to it, and the two little ghosts sat on the blanket and played with the cat, raising their heads to look at the bed from time to time.

"Nian Yi, are you sorry?"

She gave an indistinct "um" and pulled the quilt to cover her head more tightly.

Shi Yin closed the book, turned her head and glanced at her, "I'm done with life and death, you're not going to go up yet?"

Nian Yi curled up in the quilt for a while, and said reluctantly for a while, "I don't want to leave for now."

Hearing this, Shi Yin's eyes sparkled, "What? I feel tired of checking and don't want to check anymore? I just said, after such a long time, there is nothing to check. I don't feel relieved when you are walking around in the world, so I just An Anxin lives here, and I will be the one to take care of the sky when the sky falls."

She was silent for a moment, then peeped out her eyes from under the quilt, and stared at him: "You seem very happy?"

"W-Where is there..." Shi Yin hurriedly lowered his head to flip through the book, cleared his throat, "I'm doing this for your own good, aren't I?"

"I won't check anymore..." Nian Yi bit his lips melancholy, "How can I do that?"

"Why can't it work?" He was puzzled, "I know you like the world, it's easy to handle. Whenever you want to go up to play, I'll still make a body for you, isn't that good? You have to take risks by yourself?"

The reincarnation of life and death is the cycle that a person should have. If she is allowed to be a ghost forever, accumulating decades and hundreds of years of memories, how can she bear it...

"Let me think about it again." Nian turned over and sat up, combed her hair and began to dress, "I'll go for a walk first."

Seeing her listless appearance, if she was bored at home any longer, she might get sick, Shi Yin nodded in agreement, "Go, take care of yourself."

As soon as I walked into the street, it was dark and gloomy, the muddy lights flickered under the eaves, and countless ghosts shuttled inside and outside the houses, floating in mid-air.For her, the breath of the ghost world is very good, and she doesn't need to open an umbrella all the time, and she doesn't have to worry about it, but the scenery is not as beautiful as the world.

There are mountains and waters, rain and clouds, and colorful colors. No wonder it is always said that it is a fairyland on earth, and you will only understand it after being a ghost.

Nian Yi wandered aimlessly, occasionally looking at the stalls around him, which was of little interest.

She has been away for so long, and I don't know if they have noticed, are they looking for themselves?

After thinking about it, since Big Brother Zhan and Bai Yutang knew Lianqiao and helped her so much before, maybe they were persuaded by her, maybe they are still glad that they are knowledgeable now, and they don't need to issue an order to chase away guests in person.

After thinking wildly for a long time, Nian Yi frowned suspiciously.

However, Brother Zhan is not like this kind of person...

He had already said harsh words that night, would he be in a hurry when he saw himself leaving?

Thinking of this, Nian Yi couldn't help but feel a little bit secretly happy, it seems to be the feeling when he was playing hide-and-seek with others when he was young.

He must never have imagined that he would hide in the ghost world.

"Miss Shi." A little doll beside her raised her head and handed something to her, and said with a smile, "Candy, do you want to eat it? It's just ready."

Nian Yi stopped when he heard the sound, bent down and took it from its hand with a smile, "Thank you."

The surface of the fruit wrapped in rock sugar is shiny, vaguely reflecting a figure walking towards this side not far away.

"Read one."

She was very familiar with this voice, and she couldn't help shaking her hands, and the candies fell in response.

Under the vast and gloomy sky, Zhan Zhao stood not far away in a blue dress, looking at her quietly, his quiet eyes made her shudder unconsciously.

Nian Yi was stunned on the spot, almost unable to stand still, and ran towards him in a hurry.

"You...how did you come here?!" She grabbed his skirt, touched his cold palm, and suddenly felt cold, "Are you dead? How did you die!"

"Don't cry." Zhan Zhao comforted softly, "I'm fine."

"How can it be all right? This place...is not something ordinary people can come to." Nian Yi bit her lower lip tightly.

"I'm not dead, really." He smiled, "But I can't stay for too long... Are you still angry right now?"

Hearing what he said, Nian Yi regained his composure, stretched out his hand to push him away, turned his back, wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and said coldly:

"Forsythia helped you?"

Zhan Zhao didn't deny it either: "I begged her to help me."

He smiled helplessly: "It's really not easy to come to this place."

Nian Yi turned his head to look at him quietly, and then turned back: "I've already said, we don't agree with each other when we disagree, and we will go our separate ways from now on."

"Who said otherwise?"

"Isn't it different? You are always facing her and helping her. You are human, how can you walk with me?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head with a faint smile: "Didn't you also say that people become ghosts after death, and ghosts are transformed from people, so why don't you go the same way?"

Nian turned around to look at him: "Then why didn't you call me that night?"

"I didn't understand the principle of exorcising ghosts at first, and I really didn't think about it carefully. If you want to be angry, you should." He lowered his eyelids and sighed softly, "This is the end, give me a chance to make up for it, okay? "

Make up?

Nian Yi was stunned, then frowned suspiciously: "How do you make it up?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "At least the real culprit can be found out, right? Don't you want to help him get justice?"

"But the grassland is so big." She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "He is already dead, where can I find clues?"

"People are alive, but clues are dead. As long as there are clues, they can always be found."

"But I..." Nian Yizheng nodded, and suddenly noticed that Zhan Zhao's figure was gradually disappearing. Before she could react, she reached out to grab him, but before she touched his clothes, he disappeared.

At this time, in the small town of Qilian Mountain, Zhan Zhao suddenly opened his eyes, and he heard Lianqiao yelling badly.

"It's over, it's over, I was just distracted."

Bai Yutang resisted the urge to knock her on the forehead, and walked to the bed in a few steps, "How is it? Have you seen her?"

"I see." Zhan Zhao coughed twice, "I just don't know if she will come back."

Bai Yutang rubbed his hands angrily, "Is she still angry?"

"perhaps……"

Just as he was talking, a young man outside the yard yelled:

"Ah, Miss Shi? Why are you here... Master Zhan and Master Bai have been looking for you for a long time."

The three people in the room were all taken aback, and when they looked out the door, Nian Yi was standing by the flower garden with an umbrella in his hand, but he didn't look at them, but just looked at the surrounding scenery.

Seeing this, Zhan Zhao got off the bed while coughing.

Bai Yutang wondered, "She's back?...Why did you go?"

Zhan Zhao picked up the sword by the bed and walked out, "Go investigate the case."

"What?" He was confused, "Go now? Why don't you take a break?" Seeing his frighteningly pale face.

"No rest, it has been delayed for several days, I am afraid that even if there is a clue, someone will deal with it." He was still coughing while speaking, and he didn't stop until he went out.

Walking to Nianyi's side, he said nonchalantly, "Let's go."

In fact, after checking Bayong's residence, Zhan Zhao already had some plans in mind.There are pickles on the table, and there are meat and vegetables that have been cut and bought in the kitchen, but no one is there without cooking. Under such circumstances, the possibility of going hunting is very small.

But there was no sign of a fight in the house, which means that he was called away suddenly by someone, and the most likely person must be living in a nearby neighbor.

Bayong lives alone. There are three neighbors on the left and right. The one on the left is a young man in his twenties who does small business on weekdays. It is said that he is addicted to gambling.When Zhan Zhao and Nianyi knocked on the door, he seemed to have just taken a nap.

"You mean Bayong?" The young man scratched his head, "When he left, it must have been a few days. It was seven days, and I can't remember exactly."

Zhan Zhao asked, "Did he leave seven days ago? Where did he go?"

"Let's go hunting. I saw him go out with a bow and arrow on his back. He must have gone hunting again." The younger generation didn't take it seriously. "He likes to drink, so it's not surprising that he goes hunting when he has no money."

Nian Yi casually asked, "Is he addicted to alcohol?"

"I like to gamble and drink. If there is no brothel in our town, I'm afraid we'd be able to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble." After he finished speaking, he yawned and closed the door.

On the right side of Bayong lived a young widow, a foreigner, who fed twenty sheep at home, usually went out to herd sheep during the day, and weaved at home at night, and rarely had contact with other people in the town.

Seeing the two of them coming to the door, they were extremely enthusiastic. They hurried to the kitchen and poured two bowls of milk tea, and then made a fuss about getting pancakes.

Nian hurriedly called to her: "Don't bother, we will leave after sitting for a while."

"It's rare to have guests in my house." She wiped her apron twice with her hand, with an embarrassed expression on her face, "I'm afraid I won't entertain well."

Nian smiled and said, "No."

As soon as he took a sip of the milk tea, his throat hurt even more than before. Zhan Zhao frowned and coughed, before asking her:

"Are you familiar with Bayong?"

"It's okay." The widow thought for a while, and her face sank, "He is not very honest, he always likes to touch people, I used to go to his house to borrow some oil and salt before, but I didn't go anymore .”

"I heard that Bayong left seven days ago? Have you seen him?"

The widow shook her head: "I was herding sheep on the grassland during the day, I don't know when he left."

After drinking the milk tea, I came out of the widow's house, and when I looked up, I saw the owner of the wine shop opposite was closing the door, but it was still early, the sun was high, and it was not evening yet.

Zhan Zhao stood still and asked him casually, "Boss, have you stopped doing business so early?"

"That's right." The owner of the shop was an elderly man. He was fetching the door bolt and slowly moved the stool. "The weather is fine today. I'm going to have a good meal in the restaurant."

Seeing that he was about to close the door, Nian Yi hurriedly asked: "Boss, I don't know..." Before finishing speaking, Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to pull her, and Nian Yi quickly stopped talking.

"Ask Bayong?" The old man poked his head out of the door. "I was sitting in the winery that day, and I saw him dressed and going west. Maybe he was hunting."

"Okay." Zhan Zhao cupped his fists at him, "Thank you."

The door closed with a creak, and then there was the sound of the latch being locked. Nian Yi followed Zhan Zhao back, seeing that the alley was getting farther away, she asked:

"Why didn't you let me ask? Did he kill Bayong?"

"No." Zhan Zhao frowned fiercely, and said after a while, "He's been eavesdropping outside, I'm afraid he's talking about it."

She couldn't figure it out: "What do you mean?"

Zhan Zhao closed his eyes and took a breath: "In other words, all three of them may have problems."

"The young man surnamed Wang said that he saw Bayong go out with his bow and arrows on his back, but in Bayong's bedroom, all the hunting gear was there, and he hadn't touched it, so what he said may not be true. Later, he It is said that Bayong is addicted to alcohol, but there is no smell of alcohol in the room, let alone the wine jar. It is impossible for a person who is addicted to alcohol to have no smell of alcohol in the room. Then there is Widow He next door..."

His tone gradually slowed down, he kept coughing, and the more he listened to the words, the more he felt something was wrong, and when he looked back, he was startled by his face.

"Don't talk first...what's the matter?"

Zhan Zhao's lips were blue, and his forehead was covered with fine sweat. She supported him, but she didn't know why he was uncomfortable.

"Poisoned? Are you injured?"

Nian stretched out her hand to touch his forehead, it was so hot, she took it back instantly, and couldn't help being anxious: "The fever is so bad, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"fine……"

"It's okay? It's not good. If this continues, your brain will burn out." She felt guilty, "Don't check it yet, go back and have a rest, and I'll find a doctor for you."

She held his hand, which was still cold to the touch, but it made him feel at ease inexplicably.

Zhan Zhao unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, gently held her hand, nodded and said:

"it is good."

The author has something to say: I’ll just say Master Zhan’s strength to flirt with girls, and at critical moments, he will resort to tricks like tricks, the scheming is evident...
