Ice Fantasy Chapter 17: Snow Country(12)

From my angle, I can only see the upper body of Hua Xiao, and her lower body is blocked by the fence in the corridor. But she could still be clearly seen walking over, opening the door of the room, and then showing a weird and mysterious smile. But no one came out of the door, but Hua Xiao turned his head to look at the end of the corridor, as if someone had already walked out of the room and disappeared at the end of the corridor. I turned my head to look at Huang Tuo, his expression was still indifferent and hard, and for a moment, I suddenly remembered many things.

The wine in this inn is quite famous, and Entropy is a person who knows how to enjoy it, so he always frequently holds banquets in the lobby. Of course, the waiter in the shop likes such customers very much, so when he serves the dishes, his smile is particularly moving. There is no one who does not smile at the wealth that comes in.

Huang Tuo, I, and Luna sat at the same table, and Yazhao, Yupo, and Entropy sat at the same table, but the flower effect did not come.

Huang Tuo drank a glass of wine, then turned to Entropy Lie and said: Now I can tell you who Fenghuang is.

Then I saw the cup in Entropy Crack's hand fall to the ground, the crystal clear ceramic cup shattered, and the wine spilled all over the floor. The faces of Yazhao and Yupo beside him changed.

Entropy Split asked: Who is Phoenix? Then Huang Tuo suddenly opened the protective barrier, and the moonlight in Luna's hand suddenly grew a lightsaber, and I had already summoned all my spiritual power, surrounded by countless icicles. The sound of Chao Ya's piano suddenly became sharp and piercing, and countless white butterflies flew out from the crystal strings and filled the entire hall.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense. Countless winds rose from the ground and circled around the room. Everyone's long hair and robes were blown up. The lights in the lobby became erratic, and even the entire floor was shaking. . Because everyone's spiritual energy had gathered, Entropy Crack and the others obviously realized that a big battle was coming soon, so he, Ya Zhao, Yu Po, and Tong Xie all clasped their ring fingers and summoned their weapons. Yazhao is a long and narrow ice sword filled with purple light, Yubu is an ever-changing three-thorn sword, Tongxie is an ice-blue illusion summoning staff, and the weapon of entropy crack is unexpectedly It was a fire-controlling bow, and that red bow and arrow was a weapon that was sealed and forbidden to be used in the legend of the Ice Race.

The waiter in the shop was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He slumped on the ground and was trying to climb out, but his body was controlled by fear and he couldn't exert his strength. He moved towards the door very slowly, saying in his mouth, don't kill me, don't kill me.

Huang Tuo suddenly stepped in front of him, he said: Don't worry, I won't kill you easily, because you killed too many people, I won't let you die easily, Fenghuang.

Then the waiter's face suddenly became extremely calm, as if the person who was paralyzed on the ground in fright just now was another person at all. Now his gaze is firm and sharp, and his whole body exudes a murderous aura.

He turned around and looked at me, Luna, and Chao Ya, and asked us: How do you know that I am Phoenix?

Chao Ya suddenly smiled softly, and she said to Fenghuang: Please come and play a song for us, Hua Xiao.

Then I saw that Fenghuang's face suddenly became ugly, and she said: You even know that I am Hua Xiao.

Entropy Crack's expression was particularly surprised. I know that no one would think it was Hua Xiao. This was a nearly perfect assassination plan, and it was a serial assassination plan.

Phoenix turned around, looked out of the window, and said softly: "Crow, you can come out now." When she finished speaking, everyone turned around and looked out of the window, but there was only the solemn night outside. I suddenly heard the sound of the robe blowing the wind, and when I turned my head, the phoenix had already flew towards the window, I knew she wanted to rush out of this room, because no one has the ability to fight against all the people in the room.

But Fenghuang suddenly fell down when she was close to the window, and she turned to look at me with an angry expression on her face.

I walked over to her and said: I knew you would escape, so I have turned the surrounding walls into solid ice, including the gates and windows. If I hadn't dispelled the illusion, people here would never be able to get out.

The light on Fenghuang's face dimmed, and her face became indescribably old. She asked me: When did you start to doubt me. From day one when you assassinated me on my roof. How do you know it was me?

Because you wore nothing under your gray robe that day. Huang Tuo said that the man in black never had time to change clothes, but it only took a short time to take off the clothes on his body.

So you doubt me? Not yet, I just felt a little weird at that time. Then you kill the needle again. How do you know I killed the needle? At that time, I really didn't know that it was you who killed the needle, I just suspected the waiter. At that time, I didn't know that you were the waiter. Why?

Because Luna and I told Needle that morning that we would go find her at night, but she was killed before we went. When we talked to Needle, only Xiao Er was next to us, so I started to suspect Xiao Er from that moment on. After you kill the needle, put the phoenix needle you used on her hand, and then take off her needle and bury it in the soil. You want us to suspect that the needle is the phoenix. We did believe it at first, but you ignored the poison on the needles, which killed all the grass on the ground. So we discovered that the needle is not actually a phoenix, and the person who kills the needle is the real phoenix. Because you forgot to wear gloves when you removed the poisonous needle from the needle hair, so your hands have been poisoned, but you can't let anyone find out, so you have never played the piano since then.

But you must detoxify, but you can't blatantly take the medicinal materials needed for detoxification, so you quietly killed the doctor in the pharmacy, then disguised as him, went to find those rare medicinal materials, put them in Inside his pharmacy. You originally wanted us to continue to divert the target of suspicion, so you changed the last three herbs in the iridium medicine prescription to the three herbs to detoxify, but this gave me even more reason to doubt you.

Why? Phoenix asked me. Because a mortal doctor would never know that there are three herbs in the world: cod grass, fire toad, and soul ice spider silk. So Huang Tuo and I knew that the doctor was definitely not an ordinary person, and Yi Zhao was definitely not a Phoenix.

Then what? Then you went to steal the medicine, but was discovered by Iridium, so you killed Iridium.

Then I heard Phoenix's laughter, and she said: If I killed Iridium Zhao, then why would I have been drinking with Entropy in the lobby all the time? I looked at her, and her eyes were full of mockery.

At that time, I saw you appear in the lobby, and I almost wavered my judgment. Chao Ya was not there at the time, so I thought of two possibilities, one is that you have been in the lobby all the time, and the person who went in to steal the medicine was actually the waiter from the shop, and the waiter from the shop, I thought it was the crow. The second possibility is Chao Ya. I have to admit that you did a very clever job of Chao Ya's absence. At that time, Luna, Huang Tuo, and I all turned our suspicions on Chao Ya.

Then why do you believe in Chao Ya again and doubt me? Because of the poisoning that day. I have to say that your strategy is very clever. You deliberately asked the crow to distract the moon god, because if the moon **** was there, she would know that someone was poisoned and assassinated as soon as she touched the food. After she left, everyone was poisoned. At that time, you also pretended to be poisoned. Originally, this was the most brilliant move in your plan, but it was also a move for you to show your flaws. Because Huang Tuo had inspected the food before, he had already discovered that someone had poisoned the food at that time, but he did not say it, but prepared the antidote in advance, and prepared to see who was not poisoned, then whoever was poisoned people. It’s just that at that time, by mistake, Chao Ya didn’t eat anything, so she wasn’t poisoned, and you also pretended to be poisoned, so Huang Tuo immediately judged that Chao Ya was the one who poisoned her.

Then why didn't he doubt it? Because you took the antidote of Tuo Huang. Everyone ate it, why didn't they suspect it?

Huang Tuo said slowly: Because my antidote is originally a kind of poison, people who are not poisoned will turn blue without realizing it. When I was about to attack Chao Ya, I noticed that your expression had changed. So I know, in fact, the person who really poisoned you is you.

Then I went on to say: That is when we began to trust Chao Ya completely, so we asked Chao Ya why she was not in the room many nights when the accident happened, but she said that she was sleeping in the room. But Chao Ya still told us that she didn't go anywhere. That night we hid in Chao Ya's room, and then in the middle of the night, you came in, used the ecstasy incense on her, and after she was unconscious, you moved her under the bed. Then left. So we also understood why every time we went to see Chao Ya when something happened, she was not in the room. In fact, she was under the bed, and when it was almost dawn, you moved Chao Ya to the bed, so Chao Ya would say that he had been in the room all the time, so that the obvious lie to us would make us suspicious Go to Chao Ya. Your plan is indeed well thought out.

So you guys have been suspicious of me since then?

Yes, but we are not sure yet. We were not sure that you are Phoenix until something happened to Pianfeng.

Did you leave me there on purpose that day? Yes, we saw you open the door to let the assassin out at the corner. Although we didn't see anyone come out, we know that someone must have come out of the room, no matter whether he used invisibility or other methods.

How could you think that the waiter is also mine? We used to think that the waiter was the crow, but later we found out that the waiter was also you. First of all, you have never appeared at the same time as Xiaoer Dian, and every time you are not present when he is there, we are always waiting for you. And you come late every time after the shop waiter has retired, and you never wear any makeup, and your face is pale, because you just took off the disguise as the shop waiter. In addition, when we were going to find needles and iridium, only Xiaoer Dian was in front of us, and only he could hear our conversation. Also, the hilt of the sword that Huang Tuo picked up that night was very greasy. Later I found out that it was nothing but cooking fumes. I took a closer look at your hands again. A luthier's hands should never be so greasy. You can look at Chao Ya's hands, they are clean, delicate, soft and dry. This is a necessary condition for a luthier.

Huang Tuo walked up to me and said: After we knew that Xiaoer Dian was actually you, we guessed that the crow was someone else. Because when you killed Iridium Chao, you were indeed drinking with Entropy, so the person who killed Iridium Chao should be the crow. Moreover, the room was locked from the inside when Pianfeng died, and you were outside like us, so the murderer was also a crow. Fenghuang looked at me, she sighed, and said: I always thought you were an incompetent king, fatuous and cowardly, so I was wrong, you have never said anything, but you know better than anyone else. Do you have anything else to ask me?

Yes, first, we did not see the crow coming out of that room, is she invisible? But in this world, invisibility and apparition are sealed, why can the crow use it?

Second, who is the crow? Fenghuang looked at me, then smiled strangely, and she said: You will never know, so you don't understand everything, and I will never tell you. You have no room for resistance.

But if I tell you, even if you don't kill me, the crow will kill me, I don't have any power to resist the crow's illusion. But, if I don't say it, the crow might save me, because... But, before Fenghuang finished speaking, I saw the strange blue color on her face, but she still didn't know it, so I said: Hua Xiao , your face... what happened to my face? Hua Xiao's expression shows that she still doesn't know that she has been poisoned. It seems that this kind of poison is undetectable.

Then Hua Xiao yelled suddenly, maybe she had understood it, she ran to the bronze mirror on the wall, and then she started to yell like crazy, Impossible, the crow can't kill me... But already It was late, her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and then she fell backward. Huang Tuo ran over to hug her, and asked hastily, "Tell me who the crow is?" quick!

The crow is, yes...but the flower effect is not finished. She could never finish talking.

The crow will not trust anyone, she only trusts the dead. Only the dead really keep secrets.

The heavy snow has never stopped, and in a blink of an eye it has come to the New Year in the mortal world. I remember that during my decades of exile in the mortal world, I never really felt the most lively festival in the mortal world. The entrance of the inn was covered with red palace lanterns, and heavy snow fell from the sky continuously. The closer the New Year was, the bigger the snowflakes were, covering the whole earth like goose feathers. Those red palace lanterns swayed back and forth in the wind and snow, and the warm red lights filled the street.

There are children running in the snow constantly on the street. They are all bloated and clumsy, with bright eyes and bright smiles, and they have the unique simplicity and joy of children. Sometimes Luna and Huang Tuo would stand at the door, and occasionally those children would come over and look at them curiously. Because their hair is pure silver-white, long and flowing down the illusion robes like flowing mercury. Both Luna and Huang Tuo would squat down and play with the children. It was hard to imagine that these two people who smiled warmly and tolerantly at the children would be the two most powerful characters in Renxue City. And among them, Luna is also a top assassination master. But when I saw Luna's smile, I suddenly felt very warm. I had never seen Luna's smile. It turned out that when Luna smiled, it was like the most genial wind, stretched and elegant. Chao Ya always likes the shopkeeper's child, I think that child is very similar to Ying Kongshi when he was a child. When we were in exile, I felt like Shi's father, because I had become an adult who was as unruly and handsome as my father, while Ying Kong Shi still had the body, face and eyes of a child. Big and beautiful like a girl. I always hold Shi and walk through one street after another, seeing him looking around happily in my arms, I will laugh unconsciously. A long time later, after we returned to Renxue City, after Shi Ye had become a handsome and straight prince than me, Shi told me, he said: Brother, actually I miss your smile the most in the mortal world , eyes narrowed, long eyelashes covered with snowflakes, white teeth, the arc of the smile at the corner of the mouth is gentle and strong. He leaned down and kissed my eyebrows, hair falling down over my face.

There are gradually no people living in the inn, because all the prodigal sons have to go back. Even those who have no home will look for a place like home. Otherwise, a person lives in the inn and wakes up in the middle of the night When you hear the sound of rain and snow in the deep alley outside the window, you will definitely feel empty and lonely.

It's just that I have lived such a life for hundreds of years, pacing back and forth in the empty tomb-like Snow City every day, watching the stars break down on the roof, and listening to the singing of the young little mermaid on the icy sea. I always miss over and over again the Mermaid Singing Night that would appear every time dusk fell hundreds of years ago.

There is a new waiter in the inn. He is an ordinary and honest person. He grew up in the mortal world. He was surprised for a long time when he saw those of us with long silver-white hair reaching the ground.
