Chapter 20 Past and Present

The cold mountain is not overgrown with weeds like other mountains. On the contrary, it is very clean here. From a distance, rows of evergreen trees stand upright.

Qiu Yi'an brought Ah Mu to the foot of the original Yueyue Tower, she raised her head, but the familiar scene made her feel sad.

When I came to the mountain, I didn't see the so-called Moon Devouring Building, but a ruin. Burnt stone walls and pillars were lying on the ground in disorder. The inside was very messy, but there wasn't even a single weed.It seemed that the fire was so fierce that nothing was left.

Qiu Yi'an recalled what happened three years ago. The fire happened right in front of his eyes. They all knew that there was a person in the fire, but the fire was so fierce that even the surrounding trees were burned, and the entire mountain was burned. stand up.Many trees on this mountain were planted here later.However, no one refurbished or rebuilt the old site of Yueyue Tower, because they thought that Shen Nian's ashes were here, and moving the old site of Yueyue Tower would disturb Shen Nian's dead souls, so this place is still in ruins.

Covered with white snow, burning eyes, the past is vivid, the air is filled with the smell of wine and saltpeter, and there are only white and red in front of my eyes.Who wouldn't want to rush in and save her?However, there were loud explosions and ferocious fires, making it impossible to approach.They didn't dare to go forward, and they couldn't save her, but Mu Sijun was crying and shouting to rush in, even if they knew they couldn't save her, even if they died together.

Three days later, the ground was covered with snow, only the top of the mountain was burnt to nothing. The fire was extinguished, but there was still smoke inside. Mu Sijun rushed in, but couldn't tell where it was. Wen's wooden pillars and stones burned her hands, she didn't care, she just wanted to find that person.They didn't know how to persuade her, so they could only let her do so.

After searching for a long time, she found the Phoenix Blade. This pair of short knives was made of excellent material, and the mere fire just covered them with dust.

Qiu Yi'an took out the Phoenix Blade from her sleeve and handed it to A Mu: "Phoenix Blade. I heard their names were chosen by Sister Sijun."

Ah Mu slowly reached out and picked up the pair of short knives, which were stained with too much blood. In his mind, he stabbed the short knives into her chest alone.

"Later, Sister Sijun found another skeleton..." Only the small skeleton was found, nothing else, they all thought it was Shen Nian...

"What's next?" Amu asked.

Qiu Yi'an didn't continue talking, but took her to the back mountain, where the waterfall was still rushing, but next to it was a lonely grave, clean and tidy, and the flowers and plants beside it had long since withered, and the name on the stone tablet was Shen read.

Ah Mu walked over and put his hand on the stone tablet. In his mind, there was a wordless spiritual tablet, but there were two words written on the bottom: Shen Nian.

"Now this tomb is no longer needed." Qiu Yian looked at A Mu.

"Why did you choose this way to commit suicide?" Ah Mu was actually asking herself, a thought suddenly popped up in her mind, the burning of the Yueyue Tower was not for suicide, but for killing other people!She was terrified by her own thoughts: kill other people?Was it everyone she'd ever known?

Qiu Yi'an shook his head, and he walked over with a complicated expression: "Sister... If you recover your memory, don't do such stupid things again, even if it's for A Niang, don't choose to leave again..."

As the sky darkened, Qiu Yi'an took Ah Mu to another place.It was a big teahouse called Changsiju.Always think, read, always think.

I thought it was a tea room, but there is a lot of space inside, but the underground is the new Yue Yue Lou.Below Changsiju, there is exactly the same Moon Devouring Tower, and the same Taqiu Hall.

Standing in the Taqiu Hall, Ah Mu looked up at the seat, and then looked around. There was a banquet in his mind, a woman in black sat on it, and other people sat on the sides, delicious food, but there was no charcoal fire in winter, There appears to be a black cat lying in a corner.In the end, a woman in white was supported by a person, but the woman in white did not dare to look up at the person above. "A sinner, you want me to wait that long?" The woman in black said coldly, very indifferently.

In the same place, a man was wearing a heavy cloak, and soon, another man came supporting a bride.Worship, wordless spirit cards, wine together...on the roof, a woman also wearing the same wedding dress, with concentric knots around her waist.The poisoned wine I drank, and the fire...

Ah Mu covered her head, her heart ached badly, and she gasped for breath.

"Sister?" Qiu Yi'an worriedly supported her.

She slowly regained her composure, waved her hand, and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Qiu Yi'an confirmed that she was fine, and heaved a sigh of relief, sent her away, clapped her hands, and some women in black came to the Taqiu Hall.

"See the landlord!" They saluted, but someone excitedly said: "The landlord is really still alive!" It turned out that they were all killers of the Yueyue Building, killers who worked with Shen Nian very early.Although the scars on her face were gone, they still recognized who she was.

"Since Auntie is back, this Yueyue Tower should be returned to Auntie."
