MTL - Estranged-Chapter 115 I can bear it, you don't have to run away.
"Fox spirit?" Sun Wuxia raised her eyebrows, "Which direction did you run?"
Jingmei made a fuss at the inn last night, destroying Lao Heyi's entire caravan and leaving Lao He alone. This matter quickly spread around, and Sun Wuxia and others naturally heard about it.
But they were not harassed and attacked, so Sun Wuxia took it for granted that Yun Weisi and the others were too weak to protect the He's caravan.
Fellow Daoist Chi shook his head: "It has completely disappeared. It is said that fox spirits like the wilderness. Why don't you go to the outskirts of town to have a look."
This is exactly what Sun Wuxia wanted.
He had a good impression of this Fellow Daoist Chi for a long time, but it was a pity that the other party was with Princess Changning, and the two of them rarely had the opportunity to speak alone. Find ways to create opportunities.
"Alright, Princess Changning has my uncle at the side, so it shouldn't be a big problem, please friend Chi."
Sun Wuxia didn't want to show overly anxious joy, but kept a little reserved.
Fellow Daoist Chi pursed his lips and smiled.
She is not a stunning beauty who overwhelms the country and the city, but she has a kind of refreshment that makes people forget the world, like the new leaves falling from the frost, and the star spots on the mountain.
Sun Wuxia didn't even know her background very well, only that the other party seemed to be related to Princess Changning, but being able to go out and enter together with the princess, after all, her status would not be that bad.
She didn't talk much, but she wasn't taciturn. As long as Sun Wuxia asked, she would still answer.
Sun Wuxia talked about the recent rumors in the town, such as the widow's revenge, the rebellious son's return, the common people can always make up weird background stories for the dead, and add a lot of after-dinner conversation, but with the more terrifying murders last night, no matter where they are The residents were still travelers, and everyone was in a state of panic, but the rumors dropped a lot. Because the caravan couldn't set off due to the heavy snowstorm, everyone had to continue hiding in the inn to keep warm.
Fellow Daoist Chi sighed: "I don't know who ordered these spirits to do such things for no reason. Even if they want to leave now, their conscience is disturbed."
The avenue is ruthless, follow the sky.
There are not no monks who are sympathetic to others, but unless such a person has great strength, they will only be sharpened and taught by the cruel reality time and time again on the road of cultivation, and eventually become a person who does not care about karma and refuses to meddle in other people's business.
Sun Wuxia didn't think so, but faced with the compassionate heart of the girl in front of her, she still comforted her: "Don't be sad, Fellow Daoist Chi, we have to stay in Hongluo Town for a few more days, and if we can catch that fox spirit, it will be considered a meritorious deed." gone."
Looking at the street, there is a vast expanse of whiteness, and there are really not many people.
According to the time, the sky should be bright now, but the top of the head is still gloomy, and there is no warmth and brightness that makes people bright.
The two chatted all the way, and soon walked out of Hongluo Town. The surrounding houses gradually decreased, replaced by gradually dense jungle.
Sun Wuxia didn't see the fox spirit, but saw the house hidden in the trees not far away.
It looked like a villa built by wealthy households in the town in the outskirts. Behind the snow and dead trees, it was magnificent, and it looked very clean, as if someone cleaned it frequently.
Sure enough, when the two approached, someone opened the door and came out, who looked like a sweeper.
Seeing Sun Wuxia and Sun Wuxia, the other party was surprised, but very polite. Hearing that the two came to inquire about the news, he turned and went back to report to the master.
Not long after, the main door opened wide, and the owner came out from inside.
"Ms. Lang Jun has come from afar, making this old man's place luxuriant, please come in and drink tea to rest."
Sun Wuxia was a little impatient: "We're not here to beg for food, are you from Hongluo Town?"
The old man said: "Yes, the old man's surname is Chen, and his family lives in the town. He originally came here to stay for a few days, but he didn't know that there was a snowstorm. The family said that they would accompany me back when the snowstorm stopped."
Sun Wuxia: "You have lived here for a few days, have you ever seen any visions?"
The old man shook his head: "Last night it was snowing heavily, and I didn't even dare to go out. No, the snow in the courtyard has already covered the back of my feet."
The door of the house was open, and both Sun Wuxia and Chi Daoyou saw it. The two servants were indeed busy sweeping snow in the courtyard.
Old man Chen's complexion was clear, and there was no trace of ghosts or demons, at least Sun Wuxia couldn't see anything suspicious.
"Didn't you hear anything weird?"
"No, I was addicted to the chess game just now, and the two of you came here."
Sun Wuxia raised her head, only to see that the sky finally became a little brighter, but soon became gloomy again.
A new snowstorm is coming.
Old man Chen also said: "I think it's going to snow and wind again, why don't you two come in first and have a cup of hot tea to warm up before leaving."
Daoyou Chi suddenly said, "I don't know what kind of chess the old man is playing?"
Old man Chen chuckled: "Go, I recently got a new game record. The Zhenlong game is quite interesting. I was engrossed in it, and most of the day passed before I knew it."
Fellow Daoist Chi also became interested: "Can I also watch from the sidelines?"
Old Man Chen: "Naturally, please come to my friends."
As soon as she opened her mouth, Sun Wuxia couldn't help urging her to leave.
Fellow Daoist Chi is indeed a person who knows how to play chess, and he and Old Man Chen can discuss the endgame with great interest. From dawn to dusk, it is snowing outside, but the house is warm and the fire is burning brightly. The maid brought hot tea and snacks, even if Sun Wuxia didn't like appetite, she also took a few sips of hot tea from the cup.
Seeing that it was getting late, he couldn't help but remind Fellow Daoist Chi: "We should go."
Fellow Daoist Chi woke up like a dream, and raised his head from the chess game, a little embarrassed.
"Sorry, I have always been addicted to chess, and I am easily fascinated when I enter the game."
She smiled sweetly, unconsciously revealing the gesture of a little girl.
Sun Wuxia's heart softened, and her tone couldn't help softening.
"We still have business to do, we have to go back, otherwise my uncle and the others will be worried."
Fellow Daoist Chi nodded: "You are right, let's go."
She bid farewell to old man Chen. The latter finally met a chess player who was comparable, and he was very reluctant to leave. He even gave them a food box, saying that it contained some freshly prepared home-cooked dishes, and asked them to take them home. He also asked them to go back to help deliver a message to the Chen residence on Qipan Street, Zhenxi, saying that the old man at home would not return until a few days later.
The host was so enthusiastic, and Fellow Daoist Chi couldn't refuse, so the two bid farewell and left the Biezhuang in the dark.
After walking for a while, the more Sun Wuxia thought about it, the more wrong he became.
Hongluo Town is not a sub-independence of the capital, even the rich, there is no reason to build another village in the suburbs.
He suddenly looked back, in the vast night, the wind and snow filled the air, covering the sky and the moon, how could he see the beautiful house in the daytime?
Sun Wuxia thumped, took a deep breath, and turned around to ask her companion, "Do you think there's anything wrong?"
Fellow Daoist Chi shook his head: "I didn't see any evil spirit in Old Man Chen."
Sun Wuxia was worried: "Open the food box and let me have a look."
The food box was opened, and there were still steaming dishes inside.
Braised lion head, Sixi meatballs, noodles with scallion oil.
The aroma wafted out of the box and dissipated in the wind in a blink of an eye.
It's serious food, not some dead leaves conjured up by ghosts and illusions.
But before Sun Wuxia could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard someone calling him behind him.
"Flawless!"
Master Uncle He Bo appeared here for some reason, he hurried over and stopped a few steps away from the two of them, his expression cold and serious.
"Wuxia, come quickly!"
"Uncle Master?" Sun Wuxia was wondering, his wrist had already been pinched by Fellow Daoist Chi.
The latter said in a low voice: "Don't go there, he has ghosts on him."
As soon as the words fell, He Bo on the opposite side also said sharply: "Wu Xia, come here quickly, this evildoer is not Fellow Daoist Chi at all!"
Sun Wuxia neither saw the ghostly aura on He Bai's face, nor felt the ghostly aura from the girl beside him.
But one of these two people must have a problem.
Who is lying?
For a moment he couldn't make up his mind.
Hongluo town cried and howled last night, but Sun Wuxia didn't feel anything. Now that he was in the wilderness, but the two acquaintances around him became so strange, he suddenly felt a faint fear.
…
But Chang Ming said that his back was against the wall, his chest was heaving, and he was panting violently.
His torment not only came from the scalding of the body infected by the fox poison on the back of his hand, but also the severe pain from the scorching heat spreading to his heart.
The farther away from Yun Weisi, the burning and pain eased a little.
Even the pharmacy clerk and Jiang Li came over to help him sit down, and Chang Ming felt that the pain from the poison was within the tolerable range.
After doing this several times, he faintly has some experience with this fox poison.
Fox spirits are good at charm, but the trickiness of fox poison is not only on the surface.
The toxin will invade the Lingtai through flesh and blood, and resonate with the primordial spirit.
For the poisoned person, the closer the close person is, the stronger the toxicity will be.
But could it be that when he was poisoned, he could no longer get close to the other party?
Changming's pain subsided slightly, his face was still flushed, he raised his eyes to look at Yun Weisi.
After the other party let go of his hand, he didn't take a step closer, and only maintained a distance that was not far or close. There were slight waves in his eyes, as if he had a thousand words to say, but he stood still in the end.
If there is even a little bit of hurt to him, the other party would rather suppress himself and not come closer.
Changming suddenly understood Yun Weisi's meaning.
There may be lava under the iceberg that is about to burst out, but the iceberg is trying hard to suppress it, and it will never let that lava seep out easily.
He didn't know how he got along with Yun Weisi in the past, and he didn't know what kind of thoughts he had towards Yun Weisi, but since he woke up, all he saw was the other party, living and eating, Day and night, they are accompanied by each other.
This figure has become a habit, so that seeing the loneliness in the other party's eyes, Chang Ming actually felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
It's indescribable, but it's not the pain of fox poison recurring.
For this reason, Chang Ming took a deep breath, barely suppressed the poison, stretched out his hand, staggered suddenly, Yun Weisi subconsciously reached out to support him, and he also took advantage of the situation to hold the other's arm.
The scorching pain started to flare up again, but Chang Ming refused to let the other party let go of his hand, instead he forced a smile at him.
"It's okay, you see, I can bear it, you don't have to hide."
Yun Weisi's body trembled slightly, and he wanted to withdraw his hand, but Chang Ming grabbed it tightly.
"I don't know how I got along with you in the past, but from now on, let's be like this."
Chapter 116 He will never have the chance to regret the hand he extended to Yun Weisi now.
For a long time, Changming was like light to Yun Weisi.
Let people look up to, let people pursue, obsession eventually becomes desire.
He wants to hold it in his palm, wants to keep it for himself, even though he knows that light cannot be kept.
The other party's words, how much is the reliance on being together day and night during the amnesia, and how much is his shadow in my heart?
Yun Weisi was sober, but she didn't want to be sober.
He knew that his demon heart was never far away.
When the primer is ignited, the devil's heart will be revived, and the endless field overgrown like weeds will be turned into a sea of flames. He will completely sink into **** and never recover.
Have you thought through the consequences of saying this?
Yun Weisi said this to the other party from the bottom of his heart.
Once hope is given, it cannot be taken away.
He didn't say a word, just silently watched the other party endure the pain but held his arm tightly.
The latter seems to want to use this method to make up for the poisonous fox forcing him to stay away from his "senior brother".
At this moment, Jiufang Changming has faded away from the inhumanity and innocence before amnesia, fully revealing the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys that are closer to ordinary people. He is still an informal person with clear goals, but he can only see it with Yun Weisi "weaknesses".
He has a sweet tooth, but he is also addicted to sweetness, but he likes peanut glutinous rice **** more than sesame glutinous rice balls.
When he was thinking, he had the little habit of rubbing the corner of his clothes unconsciously.
Even though he is a monk, Jiufang Changming also loves to read books. This is a habit left over from the past. He likes to study hundreds of schools of thought and choose their strengths to make up for their weaknesses. .
These details may also be present in the former Jiufang Changming, but they will not be printed so clearly and meticulously.
At that time, the other party was more like a cloud, unable to hold it, unable to hold it, rising with the wind, straight into the sky, and I don't know when it will dissipate and when it will enter the world again.
But regardless of the past, present, or future, Yun Weisi can record every detail of him.
Jiufang Changming may not know that he will never have the chance to regret the hand he extended to Yun Weisi.
Yun Weisi embraced the person in his arms, seeing the pained expression on the other person's face, but did not let go.
"Pretend to be weaker." Yun Weisi said close to his ear.
Hearing that there was something in his words, Jiufang Changming managed to get a little distracted from the poisonous hair.
"Jiang Li is still standing at the door watching us off."
After coming back more than a hundred years later, after knowing that Jiang Li is the mastermind behind the scenes, it is difficult for Yun Weisi not to link the Hongluo Town case with Jiang Li, no matter whether he is the real Jiang Li or Luo Mei, in Yun Weisi In Si's eyes, they were all closely related to that conspiracy.
It is a very strange thing for the majestic master of a sect to change his appearance and become a doctor in a small town.
The enemy is clear and we are dark, this is their current advantage.
Yun Weisi hoped that the two of them, in the eyes of each other, were monks who came to Hongluo Town by chance, and everything was just a coincidence, so as to minimize the other's wariness.
Faced with Jiang Li's staring eyes at them, Yun Weisi carried Chang Ming on his back without looking back, and the two moved away from the pharmacy step by step.
"Is there something wrong with the bell he gave you?" Chang Ming whispered in his ear.
The ear pinna was filled with hot air, carrying the breath of the other party.
"The Tongxin Bell is the magic weapon for the disciples of the Wanjian Immortal Sect to go down the mountain to practice and connect with the master. It is common and ordinary, and there is nothing special about it." Yun Weisi said.
That was also the reason why he accepted the bell, and it seemed odd to refuse hastily.
Only each other can hear the conversation between the two, and after walking a certain distance, Yun Weisi began to feel that something was wrong.
Chang Ming also noticed it.
"We passed by the rice shop just now."
The wind and snow were too heavy, and there were no people in broad daylight. The whole town was submerged in the vast snow. The shops on both sides of the street looked similar at first glance, but there were rice peddlers hanging at the door of the shops. It is impossible for the same street to appear exactly the same. three times.
"Put me down." Chang Ming said.
His tone was not as trembling as before, and the toxicity must have calmed down a lot.
Yun Weisi was also looking around, the road was still the same, and when he turned his head, he could still see the original pharmacy, but Jiang Li was gone at the door, and the shopkeeper and clerk were gone, and the long and narrow street was as quiet as if it had been deserted for a long time , can't find any sign of people, even the withered grass half-buried by snow on the roadside is dejected and lifeless.
Chang Ming lowered his head, the brick under his feet, they had passed by just now, he remembered that a corner was missing on the right side of the brick, and now it is in exactly the same position, and the outline of the missing corner is also the same.
"I met a ghost and hit the wall." Yun Weisi said.
Ghosts hitting the wall do not necessarily have ghosts, but being able to trap even monks is definitely not an ordinary "ghost hitting the wall".
Jiang Li really has a problem!
Yun Weisi and Chang Ming looked at each other and said nothing, but they already believed in their hearts that Jiang Li was most likely the mastermind behind a series of unsolved cases in Hongluo Town.
If you want to break through the ghost wall, you have to find the gap, just like breaking through the formation to find the eye of the formation.
Yun Weisi was under the Jade Emperor Temple back then and devoted himself to cultivating without asking about foreign affairs, and did not learn many ways to break the formation from Chang Ming, but later on in Jiuchongyuan's day and night on the other side of nothingness, facing the thousands of people on the other side of nothingness. The changes are endless, but on the contrary, I have an epiphany and find another way.
I saw him raise his hand, a ball of golden light divided into several strands and flew to various places in front, the stars scattered, the fireworks exploded, and after the brilliant light, the eyes of the two of them changed.
The street is still the same street, but the atmosphere is obviously different, with more vitality and movement.
They suddenly found that it was daytime when they left the pharmacy, but now it had turned into night.
Screams came from ahead.
It's the direction of the pharmacy!
Yun Weisi and Changming Xunsheng rushed over.
Several people had already surrounded the entrance of the pharmacy. Everyone heard the movement from the neighbors. Everyone was timid and did not dare to approach.
"Hurry up and report the crime, and find Butou Xing!"
"Where's the shopkeeper's daughter, call the family!"
"Sin, shopkeeper Liu is usually the most philanthropic, how could this happen, it's really good people who don't get rewarded!"
"Even if there are ghosts, they should go after the wicked. Why did they kill the good people instead? Is it true that death is unfair in this world?!"
"Hush your voice!"
When Chang Ming pushed aside the onlookers and went in, they saw the pharmacy shopkeeper and the clerk lying in a pool of blood, people had lost their breath, and the bloodstains on the back of the neck and hands were the same as the wound on the back of Chang Ming's hand, which was done by the fox spirit.
As for Jiang Li, his whereabouts are unknown.
"Doctor Jiang must have been kidnapped by a monster!" The onlookers chattered and began to worry about Jiang Li's safety.
It can be seen that Jiang Li's reputation is very good, and everyone will not think that he is a murderer.
It's not peaceful recently. It is said that the owner of the pharmacy has taken his family to Shangzhou to escape. There are only three people in the pharmacy on weekdays, the shopkeeper, the buddy, and Doctor Jiang.
Now that the two of them are dead and Jiang Li is missing, another unsolved case in Hongluo Town will add to the panic.
"Captain Xing is here!"
"Captain Xing is here!"
Everyone spontaneously made way, and the middle-aged man dressed as a policeman strode in with two subordinates. When he saw Yun Weisi and Chang Ming, his expression changed drastically, as if he was facing an enemy.
"The two are Yun Weisi and Jiufang Changming?" He actually called out their names at once.
"good."
Xing Butou's face was solemn, and he took half a step back, holding the hand on the handle of the knife and never moving away.
"Mr. He's family went to the Yamen to report the case and testify, saying that you killed his daughter and the guards of the He family, a total of thirteen people. Please also ask the two of you to come with me to the Yamen."
There was an uproar.
The onlookers didn't expect the suspect to be right in front of their eyes. They were startled and retreated one after another, fearing that something terrible would get on them. Thinking about the tragic conditions of all the murder victims in the town these days, they subconsciously connected the two with demons and ghosts. If they are connected together, those who are less courageous will turn around and run away. How dare they watch any excitement.
Yun Weisi's face darkened.
Catcher Xing took another step back.
He has already regarded the two people in front of him as surefire murderers, and he is afraid that if they disagree with each other, they will hurt others.
Xing Butou had practiced in the mountains for a few years before, and he could barely be considered a monk. He was naturally much higher than ordinary people, but he was still playing tricks in front of a real monk. Speech should be as calm as possible.
His eyes were right and wrong, and he didn't dare to move away from the two of them, staring closely at any changes in their expressions, trying to see clues from them.
These two people were clean from top to bottom, just like many monks he had seen, who killed people without blood, and treated human life like ants.
The lives of these few people in Hongluo Town are nothing to the monks, especially the demon cultivators who can't distinguish between good and evil. Let people destroy them, even if he can't beat these two people, there are still people behind him who can subdue them.
"Two gentlemen, Xing did not intend to offend, but Xing's immediate boss has already said that no one is allowed to kill innocent people in Hongluo Town. Xing is also following orders. Please don't embarrass me. If you have anything to say, please let me know Please tell my superiors, both of you."
"We didn't kill people."
Old He Mingming saw with his own eyes the fox demon and the dream demon killing people, why did he think Yun Weisi and Chang Ming were the murderers in the blink of an eye?
Could it be that Lao He was also caught by the fox spirit, but they didn't find out last night?
No, it's unlikely, Yun Weisi thought to himself that the fox spirit and dream monsters have nothing to hide from him, these spirits and monsters are quite profound, but they are not his opponents, they just move cunningly and are good at hiding, and there may be someone behind them manipulating and instigating .
Or, all of this has nothing to do with Jiang Li?
Yun Weisi's face was indifferent, but his heart was turning back and forth, many thoughts flashed away, but he still couldn't catch the clue.
Xing Butou insisted: "Whether the two gentlemen are murderers, please go to the town supervisor with me to explain, I can't decide."
According to Lao He’s confession, the two people got into his car on the way and came all the way to Hongluo Town. An accident happened to the caravan that night. Now that the pharmacy was destroyed, the two appeared at the scene of the crime again. The coincidence is so coincidental that people cannot help but doubt it. .
He also knew that he was no match for the two of them, so he quietly lowered his hand, a bell fell into his palm, and Catcher Xing squeezed tightly.
Yun Weisi saw it.
That is clearly the Tongxin Bell, the contact magic weapon of Wanjian Xianzong.
When the fist is clenched, the magic weapon will be passed to another
Jiang Li has disappeared, who is the rescuer that Xing Tutou can bring here, it can't be Jiang Li again, right?
Yun Weisi originally wanted to leave with Chang Ming, but after seeing the concentric bell, he was not in a hurry.
He wanted to see who was behind Xing Butou.
How many mysteries are hidden in Hongluo Town?
…
Sun Wuxia looked left and right, his eyes wandered between Master Uncle He Bai and Fellow Daoist Chi.
The two were at war, but Sun Wuxia didn't know who was lying and who was telling the truth.
Seeing his hesitation, He Bo was afraid that he would be confused, so he hurriedly said: "When you were five years old when you went up to the mountain to learn from your teacher, you were weak and weak. Everyone said that your spiritual root was stagnant and not suitable for cultivation. It was your master who insisted on accepting you as a disciple. Next to your master, when you saluted, you fainted because of being too nervous."
Sun Wuxia's thoughts moved slightly. If the master uncle was disguised by a spirit, he would definitely not know these details.
He looked at Fellow Daoist Chi.
The latter's face was calm, calm and calm: "I am from the Vientiane Palace, and I am a distant cousin with Princess Changning. After all, I have some relatives with Daoyou Sun. After accompanying Princess Changning to Shangzhou this time, I was planning to drop by Those who go to the Qianlin Association have the same purpose as Fellow Daoist Sun."
The Vientiane Palace has always been mysterious, and Sun Wuxia couldn't help being moved because she didn't know that the other party was from this mysterious sect.
"Friend Daoist Chi, do you still remember the sword you gave away?"
"Naturally, I remember that although the sword is nameless, it is the treasure of the Vientiane Palace. I thought that if the man couldn't pull out the sword, he would naturally retreat. I didn't expect him to pull it out. It can be seen that in the dark, this sword Someone who is destined to get it." Fellow Daoist Chi smiled slightly.
Sun Wuxia was a little uncomfortable. He was helpless against the sword, but the other party was destined, which meant that he, Sun Wuxia, was at a disadvantage.
But Fellow Daoist Chi's ability to say these things also shows that she is real.
Hubbard stamped his feet.
"Why are you hesitating, she is the fox spirit! Before I left, Fellow Daoist Chi was still staying with Princess Changning, why did he appear here again?"
Fellow Daoist Chi was neither angry nor surprised, and only defended himself after He Bo finished speaking.
"When I was going out, I met Daoyou He. He saw you chasing you out and couldn't stop you, so he asked me to chase you back. But I was also curious about the fox spirit's whereabouts, so I came here with you. In the end Who is a demon and who is a ghost, just try it and you will know!"
After she finished speaking, she flicked her fingers, and a ray of light fell on He Bai's clothes. He Bai couldn't dodge in time, and his whole body was immediately surrounded by blue flames.
He Bo let out a scream, and used all his spiritual power and magic weapon, but the blue fire not only did not disappear, but burned even more blazingly, which looked quite strange.
"Look, he is clearly a ghost, that's why he has this will-o'-the-wisp."
Sun Wuxia was slightly surprised, and was pulled back by the girl beside him, and also took two steps back.
"Sun Wuxia, get away from that monster!"
In the blue fire, He Bo still didn't give up, he rushed towards the two with a ferocious face, Daoist Chi raised his sleeves lightly, erecting an invisible barrier, He Bo was bounced back, fell to the ground and rolled in pain.
He was speechless, but the look he looked at at Sun Wuxia was full of pain.
The more Sun Wuxia looked at it, the more something was wrong. Just as he was about to step forward to take a closer look, he found that the girl's hands holding him were like iron and ice, and he couldn't break free no matter what.
His heart sank, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see a strange smile on the girl's Juanli face at some point, her eyes were red, staring at He Bo who was burned by the blue fire.
"Look, this fire can burn everything in the world together, isn't it more powerful than the real fire of Samadhi and the fire of red lotus?"
