The Guardians: The Swordsman of the Moon

Drinking tea in Ghost Town 2

Madam Hu brought Mo Xian to sit upstairs in order to see the atmosphere of the Ghost City more clearly, and Mo Xian couldn't help but be amazed by this place. This place is absolutely amazing!

The aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance and makeup of the inhabitants of the World Beauty House, the sound of music was heard, the dancers performed the show and the visitors cried out for more.

Mo Xian noticed how the visitors of the World Beauty house in the Ghost town were so excited when a beautiful girl who was different from the others, she did not reveal her body, she did not reveal herself, wrapped in pink hanfu and a red scarf, the girl sat in the middle of the stage holding a pipe instrument.

Mo Xian watched the spectators sitting in front of the table each start to shut up as the girl began to get ready to play a song.

Feeling silent for a moment, Lady Hu noticed how Mo Xian saw the girl look like she was admiring someone.

Smiling, Madam Hu said, "His name is Yu Yan, the most beautiful girl in the World Beauty House, is Young Master Mo also interested in her, I can introduce her if you want."

Mo Xian flinched. He then shook his head when he saw Madam Hu's seductive smile. "No, there's no need."

"Hmmm, why? Are you the shy kind? Even your father and mother have almost no veins of shame, why could their son be like this?" Madam Hu asked in surprise. He certainly still remembers the story of Li Huan who always listened to the advice of fortune tellers even willingly using a wedding dress throughout the year. Or about Li Zhou Ran who has a chili bike mouth.

Black streaks immediately formed on Mo Xian's face. "Please don't say that."

"Then, it's normal that if you like a girl, you're almost thirteen years old, it's time you seek experience with the world of romance."

Mo Xian's face darkened. He is almost 13 years in this world, he is still too young to think about love or the like, he still has a lot of things to think about and solve, he is also still focused on finding knowledge. However, of course Mo Xian admired how the girl named Yu Yan indeed deserved to be called a beautiful and gracefully charming girl, but she positioned herself as a girl who envied seeing the appearance of another girl better than her. Of course, he could not lie to his own heart because he could not use hanfu, dress up like a girl and had to disguise as a boy somehow until when.

Seeing Mo Xian not answering Madam Hu increasingly wanted to tease the young man who was in front of her.

"Young Master Mo, do you really not want to know her, I can really introduce you to her."

Mo Xian looked at Madam Hu and shook his head. "What creature is he?" asked Mo Xian.

Madam Hu smiled and nodded. "So, is Young Master Mo worried about his kind? She's a Sheep, a sweet and kind Sheep, Young Master Mo will love it."

Mo Xian finally smiled. "No thanks, there's something else I wanted to do at a young age. Lady Hu, has Lady Hu lived in that house for a long time?"

Madam Hu raised an eyebrow, Seeing the change in the experience on Mo Xian's face from shy to as calm as water and could no longer be swayed. Sighing, Lady Hu saw Yu Yan begin picking the strings and playing the song "Light of the Moon Above Spring" music that was enough to make people excited and calm at the same time. This music depicts the bright light of the moon at night, the beating of drums, the river flowing slowly, and a small boat floating in the river.

Lady Hu enjoyed her music, this reminded her of her hometown. Pouring tea over the cup, Lady Hu offered tea to Mo Xian.

Mo Xian accepted it politely, but hesitated enough to drink it.

"Young Master Mo can drink it, don't worry."

"How did the village become a dead village, what made its inhabitants leave the village?" asked Mo Xian.

Madam Hu propped up her chin with both hands spread out on the table. Staring at Mo Xian for a moment. "Young Master Mo, you're so young. Don't get too boring thinking about things that adults should be thinking about."

Mo Xian smiled, this time he poured tea for Madam Hu. "My teacher said there are many things in this world that I don't know yet, even Mo Shan-Xiansheng said that my brain will not be enough to store all the knowledge in this world. Don't want to be greedy, but also not to be complacent, don't you think so, Lady Hu?"

Lady Hu smiled, playing her hair she took Mo Xian's hand-drawn tea and drank it.

"The sons of talented people are indeed different from others. Mm, well because you've been with me for tea. In return I will answer all your questions including the spell paper you found underground."

The sound of the Pipe that Yu Yan played was in a very excited tone, as if the drums were being shot many times, his plump fingers plucking the strings boldly. Mo Xian was so shocked to hear Madam Hu's reply.

"Miss Hu knew about the spell?" asked Mo Xian.

Lady Hu smiled, her long red painted nails warming up the empty cup.

"Young Master Mo, you really are like an adult. Before answering your question I would also like to give you an important piece of advice."

"Knowledge is important, but don't be boring because you're too busy learning and forgetting the world."

Mo Xian smiled, nodding his head. "Thank you for the advice, I'll definitely remember it."

Madam Hu nodded in satisfaction. "I've heard about the Peacock Alliance who is figuring out about the spell. Spells are quite strange and hard to find, but these spells are already scattered among ghosts."

"Wide among ghosts?"

"Mn, there's a rumor that says this spell was made by a stranger who wanted to create an army of ghosts. Your father already knew about this, now the Peacock Alliance is busy figuring out who the spell maker is and what its purpose is."

"Do the ghosts here no one knows about it?"

Madam Hu shrugged her shoulders. "Who knows, the story from one mouth to another is often different. Some were saying that from a demon cultivator who wanted to take revenge, some were saying that from an evil Spirit that had turned into a third level, as well, wandering around this world using the human body he stole, some even said it was the soul of the Tao Hua demon who wanted to attack the sky palace for the second time so that his body could be freed."

Mo Xian could only stare and hear the reply that Madam Hu gave without commenting as everything was still unclear.

"And about that village, I myself do not know how that village suddenly became a dead village and left a mystery, he said, no soul came from that village nor did anyone else know how or where the villagers were going."

"Then, what about the spell I found in the basement of the house?"

Madam Hu looked at Mo Xian along with Yu Yan who had finished his game. The crowd bellowed in order to spend the night with Yu Yan filled the entire place and heeded the ears.
