Envy

Meng Tou tied his hands slowly and asked, "I have a doubt in my heart, you have so many opportunities to kill me, why didn't you do it?"

"I..." Fei Yu raised his eyes suddenly, there was a moment of light in his eyes, "I have seen you many years ago. I have always admired you."

He has a clear boyish voice, completely different from Yan Zhaohan's gentle voice.Once he opened his mouth, this face could not confuse Meng Tou.

Meng Tou looked at his face carefully, and said seriously, "Sorry, I don't remember you."

The light in Fei Yu's eyes dimmed, and he said bitterly: "Of course you don't remember me, I didn't look like this when I met you."

Meng Tou squeezed his chin, forcing him to look up at himself: "If you really admire me, you shouldn't approach me with this face."

He saw disgust in the man's eyes.

"Don't you know that Yan Zhaohan and I have a grudge against my wife?"

He was stunned for a long time, and finally his face turned pale and he was speechless.

Meng Tou hid Yanxia Ling close to his body, and was thinking about what to do with Fei Yu after he was brought back to the sect, when he heard a sharp scream from outside the door.He immediately opened the door and ran out.

The courtyard was empty.He turned twice and saw no trace.He wondered where the cry came from, and looked outside the yard, but he didn't hear any abnormal noises.He suddenly reacted, returned to the bedroom in two steps in three steps, and walked to the side of the bed—there was no one on the bed, and a piece of rope was thrown under the bed.

Fei Yu disappeared.

He was too careless, and he didn't expect it to be a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain.It can be seen from this that Jiang Yi's subordinates are also in Yongye, secretly spying on Mu Mi's disciples.

He thought again, something is wrong.Jiang Yi's subordinates came to Yongye not just to spy on them.He guessed that Jiang Yi would not send someone to secretly protect Fei Yu.There may be people or things in Eternal Night City that they want to use.But the useless city lord can't support the wall, and Jiang Yi has already used Fei Yu's pawn to win over the new city lord, what are they spying on.

He thought of the west of Yongye City, Dongtan River, and the valley where corpses were once everywhere.

He left when he was 15 years old, and when the Yin spirits rioted again in Yong Ye, he couldn't understand how so many wild spirits would appear since his mother source had been wiped out.After reading the ancient books, he realized that the source of the mother absorbs the aura of heaven and earth, it doesn't matter whether it exists or disappears, as time goes on, the source of the mother grows by itself.

Now the mother source has not yet appeared, and the wild spirits have not been sheltered. They should stay in Dongtan River, but why do wild spirits appear in the city.

He figured he'd have to go west of town again.

……

He knew that there were not many wild spirits in the city.Before he went to the west of the city the next night, he only had a few words with Xue Ye and Huo Zhi.

Xue Ye said, "If you're worried, go and have a look."

Huo Zhi told him to be careful.

He Yujian went to the west of the city.The yellow talisman on the high wall was old, and more than a dozen fragments fell to the ground and got stuck in the mud.He walked in mid-air and saw that the Dongtan River was completely silent and there were no wild spirits haunting him, so he carefully made a formula and landed on the sword.

In the cemetery by the river, short graves were inserted into the mounds in a haphazard manner, with weeds growing half a person's height on the top of the graves, almost covering the inscriptions on the tombstones.Hanniao stood on the stele, cooing.Meng Tou brushed away the weeds with his sword, and the cold bird flapped its wings and flew away.

He has not been to Dongtan River for more than ten years, and he still has a fresh memory of it.He still remembered how wild the wild spirits were and how cautious he was.So many years have passed in a flash.

Meng Tou approached the Dongtan River, heard the rustling sound of water, held his breath in his heart, and brushed away the last layer of dry grass.

People under the moon are carved like jade, standing in the Dongtan River.Cold water to his waist.He was only wearing a thin coat, which was already soaked through.The long hair like a crow's feather was loosely scattered.He took a handful of water and splashed it on his face.His clothes were neatly folded on the bank of the river.

Meng Tou came out from the grass.The people in the river immediately looked at him warily.

When Yan Zhaohan saw him, he was slightly surprised, but obviously relieved: "It's you, Meng Tou."

He could still see the white mist when he spoke.On such a cold day, he was submerged in the icy river, leaving water marks on the tips of his hair and eyebrows.Beads of water slid down his back.

Meng Tou asked, "Why are you here?"

When Yan Zhaohan came out of the water, Meng Tou subconsciously pulled his arm.He stepped on the flat stones on the shore with bare feet, and the water dripped down, and soon there was a beach under his feet.He bowed his head to pick up the loose clothes on the ground and wanted to put them on.

"You took off your middle coat anyway, it's all wet, and you're suffering from frostbite."

He glanced at Meng Tou, and Meng Tou stopped talking.Hearing Meng Tou's words, he took off his wet middle coat, threw it on the bank of the river, and put on one coat after another.

He said that he heard that the Yongye wild spirit originated from the Dongtan River, and wanted to come here to have a look, but he didn't expect to meet Meng Tou.

After that, the two of them picked a path with low grass and went back to the city through the cemetery.Meng Tou inspected the traces beside the grave along the road.When he came, he found that there was a layer of black powder on the sides of many grave mounds.He dabs some on his finger, puts it under his nose and smells it.It was a strange smell to him, and he could only guess that it was kind of sand, but he couldn't identify which kind it was.

"This is Zhulansha."

Meng Tou looked at Yan Zhaohan: "You know?"

"Yeah. People in the Qiqi Palace know it. Burning this sand can control wild spirits."

His appearance was too docile and peaceful, and Meng Tou had the illusion that they were getting along as before.

Not many wild spirits appeared in the city.The appearance of Zhu Lansha here means that Jiang Yi's subordinates have come to Dongtan River and controlled some wild spirits.It is impossible for these wild spirits to disappear out of thin air. Could it be that they were brought back to Xiaoyang?If so, why do wandering wild spirits still appear in the city?

He didn't know what to do, so he brushed away the grass with his sword, thinking while walking.Yan Zhaohan silently followed behind him.

Meng Tou always felt that as long as he figured it out, he would be able to guess Jiang Yi's plan.He just walked forward, suddenly found a deep ditch on the ground, subconsciously turned around to remind Yan Zhaohan to be careful, but he didn't see his figure when he turned around.

He panicked, pushed aside the grass and walked back, after walking a few steps, he saw Yan Zhaohan collapsed in the weeds.

He approached the man, grabbed Yan Zhaohan's shoulder and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Yan Zhaohan didn't respond for a while, and slowly propped himself up to sit up, stretching out his hand to pull Meng Tou's sleeve.His eyes are ice blue, but the ice has turned into water, his eyes are scattered, and his face is slightly red.He pulled his skirt with one hand, and said to Meng Tou: "Third Brother, I feel so uncomfortable."

Meng Tou thought that after he saw the light again, his pupils had turned ice blue, and he must have studied that "Heavenly Harmony".He suddenly understood why this man was still immersed in the frozen river in such a cold day.
