The Spirit World

Chapter 160: Chapter : Snowy, Starry Night
[Ah~ Starry night——such——attachment~]

[I bid farewell to you——on this starry-moonlit night～]

[Ten years of court songs, a hundred years of joy, a thousand miles away, I will sing with you]

[Nestling beside Bai Ling - Your heroic figure ~ but walking alone with the moon ~]

[How can I comfort myself? Only Bai Ling can express my sorrow.]

[Stars and Moon ~ Changing Water Flowing East ~]

[Wind and Night ~ This hatred flows eastward ~]

[On the starry night, I return alone with the moon]

The chorus was accompanied by the tragic and majestic music of the shocking strings, the angry and resentful sounds of the Qiang flute, and the melodious sound of the long harp. This was the climax of the first night of the Bai Ling memorial service.

Everyone sat on an artificial high platform, which was not far from Wenlu Yinyuan. As a natural passage to Bailing Mountain, the bridge in front of Wenlu Yinyuan could be used as a natural giant square, with Bailing Mountain behind as a barrier. It was rare to see such vastness here.

On the high platform, there was a big drama of the first generation head of Bailing Mountain. The first generation head and his companions parted ways in Bailing Mountain. As a man who valued friendship and loyalty, the first generation head parted with his four good friends in four different places.

The four tracks are respectively [Farewell Song at Qingqiao], [Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and Beauty's Tears], [Farewell to You on Bailing Mountain], and [Windy, Snowy, Starry, Moonlit Night].

The show now is "Snowy Starry Night"

The general meaning is that the last good friend is about to leave. In order to see his good friend off, the first generation head of the family got drunk with him all night and told him many things from his heart. In the end, the good friend took advantage of his drunkenness and secretly left. The first generation head of the family unexpectedly woke up in the middle of the night, standing in the moonlight and watching the friend leave without saying goodbye.

The whole chapter includes five sections: [Initial Thoughts of Separation], [Singing While Drunken], [Shocked in the Wasteful Night], [Farewell], and [Starry Night]. The orchestra startled, and everyone in the audience woke up. The sound of the Qiang flute was long, and everyone was crying. Finally, the protagonist who plays the role of the head of the family sits in the wind and snow, playing the piano and singing. With the wind and snow, the whole plot reaches its climax, and sighs come one after another.

How many people in this world can find true friends?
Weeping should be accompanied by sighs.

Because the lyrics are in ancient language and have been slightly modified, it is more likely to move older people or those with more experience.

There are many other activities, such as the unique games of Bailing Mountain, the heart ball game that tests the tacit understanding between friends, and the unique "Qilin meat" of Bailing Mountain that can be eaten when tired. Of course, there are also a variety of delicacies from all over the world. The whole Bailing Mountain Street is very lively.

【Flower Language Building】

A person came in. She was tall, with long white hair on her shoulders, which was tied with a hairpin and fixed behind her head. The hairpin looked very old, and it made her heroic face look more weathered. Her gorgeous dress was a white robe, and the pattern on it also looked very old.

There was a strong chill on her face, and her skin was very white, as if covered with ice crystals.

"A bowl of Bailing wine." Her voice was clear and full of energy.

"Okay..." A tall man ran over: "What would you like to order, sir?"

"A glass of wine will be fine," she said simply and clearly.

"Guangda! Bring me some painkillers." A female voice came from the back room.

"Okay!" The tall man said respectfully: "Please wait a moment." Then he ran over.

She nodded and put her arms on the table. Ice suddenly covered the table, and white cold air rose up, intimidating.

"What's wrong with the boss lady?" she asked.

"You may have a stomachache!" Guangda walked away in a hurry: "Nothing's wrong."

"Maybe I can help..." Chilly air began to come out of her mouth.

"Hey! It's a small matter! Thank you for your help... the wine you ordered will be here soon..." Guangda hurriedly walked to the back room.

She looked around, then glanced into the inner room, her ice-blue eyes becoming brighter.

"My Lord Demon..."

Four figures entered the room at the same time. Their eyes were frighteningly red, as if blood was flowing in their eyes.

"Xun Huangying...is this...your bait?" She waved her hand and the four men retreated instantly and disappeared without a trace.

Outside the house, people were making a lot of noise, but the noise in the Flower Language Building was much quieter. The icy flowers were growing one after another in the dark of the Flower Language Building.

With a tiny little sound.

"Your wine is here! Sorry for the long wait!" Guangda brought a glass of clear wine. There was no aroma, just a glass of water.

"Why is it so quiet?" she said.

"Not deserted, not deserted... Aren't they all going there for Bai Ling? If we don't set up stalls outside our store, we won't have much business. Usually, business is very good." Guangda sat in front of her table and looked at her: "It's obvious that this lady is not a local... Today is the day of Bai Ling's memorial service, and it's much more lively outside. Outsiders should go and take a look."

"Well...that's true." She drank the glass of wine, and a red light flashed across her body.

Guangda was almost blinded by the red light.

"Excuse me, lady, where are you from...what are you doing here?"

"Looking for someone... a friend." She drank it all in one gulp.

"Oh... It's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. Your friends should be very happy."

“…” She said nothing and put the cup on the table.

Guangda stopped what he was doing, jumped up and took a few steps back.

"Lady, we just met by chance... it's better for us to keep out of each other's way..." Guangda bowed and whispered: "The shop can no longer withstand the turmoil because the proprietress was injured... please show some mercy..."

She glanced at him, somewhat confused.

She stood up and slowly walked out of her seat. The ice crystals on her white robe looked like crystal drops of water.

"Thank you, lady!" Guangda bowed again, his voice sounding a little tearful.

She opened the door and walked onto the street. Many people were immersed in laughter. On days like Bai Ling’s memorial service, people were more concerned about cherishing each other rather than the sadness of parting.

She looked at a boy holding a girl's hand. They were not that close, but their hands were not separated, probably to prevent them from getting separated. It seemed that she only had eyes for this boy and girl. The boy gave a candied haws to the girl and smiled happily.

The boy seemed to sense that someone was watching him, so he glanced in her direction and ran quickly! He ran madly holding the girl's hand.

No matter how the girl behind him called out to him, he just kept running.

Pedestrians watched the boy's movement in surprise, and cursed when they tripped. Many vendors were disturbed by the boy's reckless movement and some blamed him. The girl behind the boy stopped talking and ran after him.

Perhaps the boy felt that he was not running fast enough and was greatly obstructed, so he put his right hand around the girl's calf, his left hand around the girl's back, and jumped onto the eaves and ran. Peach blossoms rolled down, as if accompanied by piercing ice crystals.

She walked slowly, and she was the only one without a smile on this street in Bailing Mountain. Of course, except for the shop owners who were disturbed by the boy, her seriousness was more like an iceberg passing through, which was out of tune with this place.

"Long time no see... Yilongzhi."

She said softly, like a silent greeting.

【Bai Ling Mountain Manager's House】

"You have to know! Dada! There are no more than three people in the world who can mobilize the Wutong Division. One is the emperor, one is the Lord of Bai Ling, and the other is me!" The chief steward took a sip of tea and closed his eyes in enjoyment.

"The general manager is so mighty!" Dada also took a sip of tea and closed his eyes enjoying it.

"Awesome!" The little lamb also drank a sip of tea and closed his eyes enjoying it.

"If the Wutong Division hadn't intervened, this case would have been much more troublesome. Fortunately, I was involved... If the Zhengfa Division hadn't been involved, there would have been nothing they could do." The chief steward said, "The proprietress of a restaurant lost a sachet, and the sachet was next to a corpse. The owner of the corpse owed the proprietress thirty taels of gold. The case is very strange."

"What a coincidence..." The little lamb poured a large bowl of tea into a bowl and drank it all in one gulp.

"Well... I guess the murderer is definitely not the proprietress..." Dada also poured a bowl of tea and took a sip.

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows... this might be an accident, it just happened too coincidentally." The little lamb said disdainfully.

"Hahaha...it's true..." The chief steward smiled and stroked his beard: "However, this is not a coincidence, it was premeditated."

"Premeditated? Is it really that proprietress?" Dada was a little surprised, and his rabbit ears moved violently.

"Of course not... the murderer is someone else." The chief steward kept the secret.

"There is no murder weapon, no festival, and no murderer can be found... it's not a frame-up... then what could it be?" The little lamb looked at the butler.

"It's a revenge."

"How can this be considered revenge? It's such an obvious frame-up!" The little lamb pouted in disdain.

"The murderer doesn't need to be framed. His initial goal was to lure out the proprietress..." The chief steward became more and more mysterious.

"What's the background of that proprietress?" The little lamb sat up straight.

"She is a dark elf..."

"Oh? Dark elf? Hidden so well? I didn't even notice it..." The little lamb drank a cup of tea with disdain.

"Well... the elves have many secrets... her companions went to great lengths to find her."

"Seek revenge on her? What revenge?" Dada was also stunned.

“That’s why I think this whole thing is serious.”

"Oh?" The other two looked at the steward, wanting to continue listening.

"The dark elves are a race with a miserable life!" The chief steward raised his cup and took a sip of tea.

"Damn! You always keep me in suspense! I can't even chat with you!" The little lamb crossed its little hooves, very annoyed.

"Don't be impatient! Let me tell you slowly."

【One day ago】

The people from the Zhengfa Division brought Hua Yuxiang to the Zhengfa Division, and I happened to be bringing Ah Bao to hand over the work.

"I really don't know anything!" The woman kept shaking her head. She was Hua Yuxiang.

I stood by and looked at her. To be honest, she does look more and more like us Chinese, but there are still some differences.

Although I only found out about it later, I didn’t know it at the time and thought she was just an ordinary Chinese.

"Well! We believe that you are innocent..." I said this to give her confidence, because this level of frame-up is really not good... The sachet is a personal item, so it is not surprising that someone stole it by means of teleportation.

"Do you have any enemies?" I needed to confirm who would do this. After all, the degree of decay of the corpse must have been caused by the sorcerer, and the suspicion of an enemy hiring a killer also needed to be ruled out.

"No..." She said this at first. I didn't quite believe it, but I had no choice but to ask.

"Then... do you know who this body is? Do you know if he has any enemies?"

"It's Chu Xiangyun... He has offended many people... I can't even count the specifics."

"Then do you know who this sachet belongs to?"

I wonder if anyone would spin sachets.

"It's mine...there's no doubt about it." She looked at the sachet, and although she didn't want to admit it, she still confirmed that it was the original one.

No other evidence was found at the scene. There was no way to test what drugs were used. This pushed the search direction to the sorcerer, and foreigners were not included in the scope.

In fact, I didn’t want to bother with that, so I just used Wutongsi’s power.

The result surprised me.

This woman, Hua Yuxiang, is definitely not as simple as she appears.
