smile to heart

=====================

The inside of the building was gloomy.

After Mu Yun finished his proposal, the Skull Queen paused and said coldly, "Seeing how honest you were just now, I'll give you this chance. Come on."

Mu Yun nodded in agreement, but the first sentence was an intercession: "Then I would like to ask Madam to untie my friends. Only then can I speak frankly without any worries."

Hearing this, the Skeleton Queen was slightly angry, and shouted: "You really know what to do."

Not afraid of anger, Mu Yun said firmly: "I would like to guarantee with my life that every word I say will be good for Madam. Please allow Madam."

Seeing the sincerity of the person's words, the Skull Queen pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "You'd better say something that makes me happy, otherwise, I don't mind going back on my word, even you will be buried alive in this tomb."

Hearing this, Qi Zhong was more impatient than anyone else, and quickly persuaded: "Hey, Your Lady Queen, you have to keep your word, and if you say you want to let him go, don't break your word."

"Hmph, I don't like to listen to men talking. If I listen to one more sentence, it will dirty my ears."

The Skeleton Queen gave a contemptuous glance, sat back on the throne lightly, and replied disdainfully, at the same time, loosened the vines on the three of them.

Qi Zhong pursed his lips, and risked persuasion again: "Then... please be magnanimous, Your Lady Queen, and don't get angry because of my brother's nonsense."

With an impatient face, the Skeleton Queen swept over with a cold look: "Too much nonsense, you should palm it!"

Caught off guard, a palm force flew towards her. Seeing her moody strike, Mu Yun reacted faster and brought her into his arms. He pressed Qi Zhong's head with one hand, and he, who had temporarily lost his cultivation, forcibly accepted the blow. With the strength of the palm, the pain of nail scratches immediately came from the back of the hand.

Qi Zhong pressed his face against the man's chest, feeling a warm sense of security overwhelmed his heart, he blinked, but didn't react for a while.

"Madam calm down."

Mu Yun apologized politely, and then let go of Qi Zhong, hiding the injured back of his hand behind him.

Qi Zhong was about to ask something, Mu Yun gave him a look, then secretly moved him behind him, facing the Skeleton Queen's troubles alone.

"...you have so many dramas."

The queen said lazily, although she didn't have any more affection for Mu Yun, her behavior just now made her restrain her malice temporarily.

"Hurry up and finish your sentence in one breath, I don't have much patience."

Mu Yun's expression was calm, and he said in a calm manner: "The few of us just came to the city for the first time, and we accidentally heard a strange thing about Jiangyang City. It was the rumor about the high-rise tomb. Yun dared to guess, madam, you are the owner of this building, right?"

After hesitating for a while, she asked back: "So what? Why, I heard rumors in the city that I caused trouble and picked up people's corpses. Did you come here to help them get rid of the harm?"

"No. We came voluntarily."

"Well. Why are you here?"

Mu Yun said firmly: "Come to solve the serious illness in my heart for my wife."

"Oh? You know what I'm thinking?"

Mu Yun nodded calmly: "You are looking for someone. The life and death of this person can relieve your hatred."

"Haha. That's right. I'm actually looking for the goddamn bastard!"

Speaking of pain, the Skeleton Queen's eyes were full of hatred, and there was an evil and dark air on her body, which made the atmosphere in the building even more depressing.

Taking this opportunity, Mu Yun persuaded again: "So we are willing to help Madam, as long as you let us out of the building, we will definitely be able to bring this person to your eyes as soon as possible."

"Huh?" The Skeleton Queen showed hesitation, and after a while, she said leisurely, "Seeing that you are so confident, I will trust you for once. But my building is dark during the day, so you don't have to keep hostages. But..."

Everyone was still rejoicing that Mu Yun had earned a chance to breathe, but they saw that the Skeleton Queen hadn't finished speaking, and a phantom appeared, with a funeral flower on her fingertip, which was strangely white.

"If you have any requirements, Madam, please tell me, and I will try my best to comply."

Mu Yun lowered his eyebrows sincerely, waiting quietly for her consideration.

"Put your left hand out."

Mu Yun hesitated for a moment, and noticed that Qi Zhong's eyes were still watching him, but he couldn't wear down the Skull Queen's patience, so he slowly stretched out his injured hand.

Seeing the scratches on the back of his hand, the dried blood was still black and red, Qi Zhong suddenly realized something, frowned, and sighed inwardly.

"This mourning flower, I will plant it in the palm of your hand and leave this building. If you don't bring someone to me within three days, I will make this flower full of your flesh and blood, and let you taste it." Taste the pain of being torn from the body by a paper flower..."

"Ah! What? Then he can't plant!"

Qi Zhong hurried forward and protested loudly.

"You are too noisy." The Skeleton Queen faintly had another opportunity to get angry.

Without thinking too much, Mu Yun took the mourning flower and let it melt into his palm. Suddenly, a pain pierced his flesh and blood, and spread to his nerves along the veins. A pain of planting flowers.

"Ah hello. You!" Qi Zhong was annoyed in disbelief.

Seeing this, Min Zhi was quite shocked: "Young Xia Mu Yun, are you okay?"

When the pain subsided a little, a thin layer of sweat covered Mu Yun's forehead, and he calmly shook his head and said, "It's all right."

Seeing him easily put down his left hand, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay. You all get out."

The Skeleton Queen lightly raised her hand, and immediately, the surrounding dark walls twisted and changed again, strangely and strangely.

Waiting for everyone to stabilize their minds, they looked left and right, and found that they were already outside the gate of the high-rise mound, and the sky was starting from dawn, pulling the prelude to the day.

……

Back to the inn.

Min Zhi hurriedly took out the wound medicine from the Qiankun bag, and threw it to Qi Zhong: "Here is the medicine, wipe it on your face quickly, or you will lose your appearance in the future."

"Thank you." Qi finally took the medicine and remembered the injury on Mu Yun's back, which was also serious.

While no one was paying attention, he grabbed Mu Yun's left hand, gently wiped the medicine, and said with a smile, "You wipe it first."

Mu Yun, who was originally in deep thought, suddenly felt a chill on the back of his hand, turned his head in astonishment, and saw that the other person looked concerned, but he didn't care about the scar on his face first, which made him feel inexplicably moved.

Seeing this scene in embarrassment, Min Zhi faltered and said, "Well, I'll go to the back kitchen and order some dishes for lunch."

"Brother Qi, I'll do it myself."

Mu Yun had a faint tendency to withdraw his hand.

"It's okay, I wiped it for you, so you don't have to wash your hands again."

"Thanks……"

"Let me tell you, you are always so desperate in critical situations. The white flower of the Skeleton Queen looks gloomy, and you are willing to let it grow in your own hands. In case we don't find the person she wants after three days, you If not..."

Halfway through the conversation, Qi Zhong became more worried.

Mu Yun smiled calmly, "No way."

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because there is no way out of heaven."

Qi Zhong curled his lips: "Oh. Optimism is not a panacea."

"But it's always a ray of hope in times of trouble, isn't it?"

"Haha. Why do you have to look for hope? Isn't getting rid of despair also a new life?"

"Oh? Brother Qi, what's your opinion?"

Qi Zhong narrowed his expression slightly, lowered his eyes and said: "It's not a matter of opinion, it's just a little experience. When I was a child, I wandered under Changting Mountain. Every time I looked up at the starry sky, my eyes were always filled with the moonlight of despair. I dare not I had extravagant hopes, when I would be able to get salvation, until I became a teacher and had a master who treated me like a relative, since then, I chose to lower my eyebrows and close my eyes, and let go of despair."

"You said, during those years, didn't I yearn for hope? It's just that despair came earlier. Even if I wanted to be optimistic, I couldn't be open-minded. It's better to learn to give up the heaviness in my heart first."

Mu Yun took pity on the broken hair on his shoulders, and said warmly: "It's all over. In the future, more people will become your hope in life, let's look forward together."

This sound of comfort made Qi Zhong's eyes and nose feel sore inexplicably, and his heart suddenly ached. He looked up at the pity in Mu Yun's eyes, and suddenly remembered the warm hug in the building. Leaning in the arms of the other party, the soft hair gently rubbed against Mu Yun's chin, making him feel itchy.

"You man, why are you always sweet-talking, and it's all about my heart..."

Qi Zhong rubbed tears on the other party's skirt, buried his head, and muttered.

"Okay. I will say a few words later."

Feeling soft inside, Mu Yun lowered his voice and patted him on the back reassuringly.

"cut."

Qi Zhong laughed through his tears, raised his head, and regained his playful smile.

"Let's talk about business, talk about business. The most important thing now is to complete the Skull Queen's mission, and then let her take out the funeral flower in your palm and get rid of the danger of life."

Mu Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "There is no rush."

"Huh? What's the rush! What's going on in your head?"

Qi Zhong stared at him with a look of concern.

Mu Yun said slowly: "I'm thinking about how to take the blood jade horizontal from the queen's hand, seal it, and prevent it from being used improperly, and sooner or later it will become the source of disaster."

"Blood jade? What is that? Is it because of this thing that we are restrained in the Louzhong?"

"The blood jade horizontal is an ancient god, but it has become an irreparable evil due to too much resentment in the bloody battle. Although I don't know how the queen obtained it, the power of the jade horizontal has not yet completely escaped the seal. Retrieve it as soon as possible and suppress its evil nature again."

After a pause, Mu Yun said again: "However, the reason for the restraint of the spiritual power you asked about is not here, but due to the special environment in the building. The bloody jade only aggravates this effect."

Qi Zhong pinched his chin and thought carefully: "Isn't that just an ordinary building?"

"Its interior is more like an evil formation that locks the soul, not like an ordinary building..."

"Ah. Soul lock? Could it be that the Skull Queen asked us to find a rich businessman?"

Qi Zhong was belatedly aware, amazed and flustered.

"But isn't the rich businessman dead? Where are you going to find someone for her?"

"..." Mu Yun stared in thought.

Qi Zhong said urgently again: "Oh, forget it. For the next three days, let's not bother with her orders, and go directly to the miracle doctor to heal your injury..."

"Don't worry so much. Just let things take their course."

The calm tone soothes an impatient heart.Qi Zhong pursed his lips, and said again: "Then let's go to the old house again tonight, and we should have a clue."

"Yes." Mu Yun nodded in response.

At this time, a obedient figure suddenly appeared in the peripheral vision of the two of them.

Qi Zhong turned his head to look, and said enthusiastically, "Hey, Yuan Qian, why did you come downstairs?"

Yuan Qian nodded dully, then sat next to Mu Yun, tugged at his sleeve pitifully, put the wooden gadget in his hand, and begged for something.

Mu Yun smiled softly and asked, "Do you want me to fix this for you?"

Yuan Qian nodded excitedly and gave a thumbs up.

"Okay." Mu Yun agreed to his request, then lowered his eyebrows and focused on repairing the children's toy in his hand.

Qi Zhong, who was ignored for a while, was stunned: what kind of charm is this man? I only knew my younger brother for a few days, and he trusted him so much.

Seeing the quiet appearance of people doing things seriously, Qi Zhong said silently in his heart: Tsk, there are so many Mu Yun meetings.Knowing little flowers and grasses, reading thousands of volumes of scriptures, and now still messing around with these little things... If he becomes a family in the future, he must be a good husband who is considerate, considerate and devoted to his family...

In a daze, Qi Zhong inadvertently saw the back of Mu Yun's hand that had been rubbed with medicine and was tossing again, revealing a touch of blood, and hurriedly stopped him: "Okay, don't fix it. Your hand is still injured."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, Qi Zhong snatched the little toy, and said in a serious tone: "Yuanqian, you too, Mr. Yun has so much business to do every day, and you still use these boring things to distract him, you are really ignorant."

Mu Yun was slightly taken aback, and looked at Yuan Qian, and found that he was trembling slightly from the yelling, so he softened his heart and comforted him.

Qi Zhong curled his lips, and said unnaturally: "It's the same for the boss to help you fix it."

Then he bowed his head and tinkered a bit, and the toy was completely broken apart in three or two strokes.

Mu Yun and the two watched the embarrassing scene silently, both tilted their heads, and didn't say much.

Touching his nose, Qi Zhong covered it up and said, "Ahem, buy a new one next time..."
