Mu Wan couldn't help but think that if Shi Wuqi was here, he would never let Xie Hualing go - he would definitely make a choice at the first opportunity, and would rather kill the horse or put Xie Huayao in danger than There was no way the map would be taken away like this. With Shan Hai's reaction and ability, it would not be difficult to stop her, but she knew that in the final analysis, he was still doing it for her own sake.
And she chose to hesitate, just like every time in the past. In her heart, she always instinctively held a kind of... fluke, a subconscious assumption that "I don't think this will happen."
So she always loses.
They just walked in a daze, silent all the way. In order to avoid being noticed by the disciples who were guarding the entrance to the mountain, they had to take a longer detour. In fact, they couldn't even identify what the supposed route was. Although everyone wants to rest, everyone knows that staying in this land of right and wrong for a while may lead to death. They didn't even dare to borrow the Tengu to fly out from this area because the target was too big and could easily be spotted in the open sky.
It's really ridiculous, a few days ago it was clearly the most popular family and guests. In the blink of an eye, several people became "wanted criminals", and their treatment was as bad as clouds and mud.
Occasionally, they would take turns sitting on Xun's body to rest for a while before continuing their walk. They felt that Xunya was very tired and did not dare to let him carry him for too long. Its long and knobby body abdomen has a bulge and hard thing between every two limbs. It is definitely not the downy, soft belly of ordinary small animals. It was more like a stone, but it gave off a faint glow in the dark. It walked in front, guiding them like a row of lights.
Sometimes it stops, stretches its head towards the inconspicuous grass, or grabs a branch with its tail. It always finds bird eggs in these strange places, with different sizes and colors. It would hand these eggs to Dai Luan, and after walking all the way, she could hardly hold them. Sometimes it eats some.
The eastern sky gradually shimmered, and the entire night sky began to fade. The brilliance of the moon and stars gradually disappeared, replaced by a harsh warm color. The eyes of the three of them were blurry, and relaxation after high tension only made them more tired. At the end of the day, the two legs under my waist were like wood, stiff and numb.
The terrain becomes flatter, and there is endless dense forest in front of you.
"We are about to go out." Mu Wan said hoarsely, "Although I have never been to this area, standing on the top of the mountain, I can see the forest spreading to the foot of the mountain."
There was a wind blowing in the dense forest, and the leaves rustled together, mixed with the sounds of unknown animals.
Come on, just get out. Once you leave here, you can find a place to stay and have a good sleep. They tell themselves this.
Fortunately, there were no major threats in the woods, except for the occasional rabbit that scurried past in front of them, which would frighten them and cheer them up a little. After walking for a while, the sky became brighter and I could see the road clearly even without looking ahead.
Suddenly, Xun stopped. This time the reaction was different from smelling a bird's egg, but more like detecting a potential enemy. It raised its ears alertly and spread its limbs so that it could stand more firmly. This time, Shanhai and the others were nervous again.
A person passed by in front of me.
He glanced at them a few times as if they were passing by, then suddenly stopped not far in front of them. Mu Wan rubbed his eyes to dispel the sleepiness and looked at him carefully. The man was very tall, a head taller than Shi Wuqi. Even though they were far apart, they had to hold their necks high. My neck and shoulders were in great pain after walking with my head down all night, and it was even worse when I lifted them up like this.
Tallness is not the only characteristic of this person. Although he is tall, he is very thin, especially when he is leaning sideways, which makes him look very slender. Perhaps because he was too tall, he was slightly hunched over. Although he is very thin, you can tell at a glance that he is a man. It's just that he has thick, leaden long hair. A black feather fabric was draped over his body. He turned around, and the other side was covered with irregular white patterns, as if covered with a thick layer of frost. His inner clothes are also white, but they are grayer than those on Yu Zhi.
His eyes looked calm, like a pair of narrow and dark cracks, showing a lack of interest in everything.
However... a strange brilliance overflowed from inside.
"Six Paths of Impermanence?" Shanhai recognized it at a glance.
"Shuangyue Lord!" Mu Wan blurted out.
The man tilted his head slightly, put his hands in his hands, and tilted his long hair to this side.
"Ah, you are... a disciple of Xue Yangu. I remember you."
His voice was also cold. Mu Wan rushed forward. Dai Luan even thought that she wouldn't pull his collar again.
But he is too tall, and he has to stand on tiptoe even to talk.
never mind.
"You, you dare to show up in Xueyan Valley!"
"...Why don't you dare."
"My master - you, you ungrateful person!"
"Ungrateful?" Mr. Shuangyue turned his head to the other side, and his long hair moved with it. "Your sect leader doesn't seem to be particularly kind to me."
"you……"
"Let me be clear first, I was just passing by." He still had that cold tone, "I came out directly from the nearby Six Paths Spiritual Veins, and I met you not long after."
Lin Shanhai also took a few steps forward and asked him, "Where are you going? Xueyan Valley?"
"So. Not really."
"What are you talking about?" Mu Wan was annoyed.
"There are two spiritual veins in Xue Yan Valley. One is at the foot of the mountain, and the other is in the valley. I use this as a transit to take a shortcut to the other spiritual vein. The spiritual veins are not the same as each other... But said Even you don’t understand.”
"Why don't you understand!" Dai Luan interrupted, "You can't go directly to your destination from where you came from."
"Absolutely. But where I go has nothing to do with you."
Having said that, Mr. Shuangyue adjusted his cuffs and prepared to continue walking. Mu Wan immediately stopped in front of him and stretched out his arms.
"Stop! You haven't explained yet why you refused to save my master until he died?"
"Your master is dead?"
The three of them were speechless. Lord Shuangyue's rhetorical question actually stopped them, and they didn't know how to answer. When Shan Hai was about to ask if he actually didn't know about the murder of the head of the Xue Yan Sect, Lord Shuang Yue continued:
"Well... maybe it's death to you."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mu Wan couldn't hold back his temper. "I originally thought that if I saw you, I would have a good fight with you. If I didn't have the strength now, I wouldn't give you a good fight. A chance to speak.”
"Well, I can see it - it means you are really embarrassed now, that's for sure."
Shan Hai and Dai Luan stood aside, shaking their heads repeatedly. None of them knew how Lord Shuangyue, who seemed to have a mysterious arrogance and cold attitude, got to know Mu Wan's master.
"Why can you be so indifferent? He is your friend after all, but you just ignore him - and the Xue Yan Sect is also in chaos now..."
"Ah, is that boy Wu Yuangui in charge of things now?"
"..." Mu Wan nodded reluctantly.
"I knew earlier that that boy had dealings with Lord Gao Yue's men, so I asked you, the sect master, to be more careful. He also said that it doesn't matter. He has watched Wu Yuangui since he was a child, and nothing will happen to him. He looks like this now. You can blame him for being too confident.”
The words were rough but not rough, which made Mu Wan feel a little sad. But Shan Hai thought about it and felt that her master might... have heard some of it. Otherwise, why was Yan Muxue the only one who was told about Yun Waijing? Even if he put up a defense against Wu Yuangui, he would definitely not want to trust other people with good intentions or monsters. So looking at it from the other side, Shuangyue-kun is willing to tell him things that have nothing to do with him, maybe it proves that they have a good friendship.
But now, Mu Wan is not in the mood to analyze this. She was still frowning, raising her face and staring at Lord Shuangyue in front of her. Lord Shuangyue also looked at her, expressionless.
He suddenly sighed.
"You are just like your master in his early years, you like to fight and kill."
Shan Hai was a little curious: "Have you two known each other for a long time?"
"No...at that time, this old guy liked to compete in martial arts when he was young. He fought against invincible opponents in the world, and began to think about fighting against ghosts and gods. I don't know who told him, but someone told him, 'In the six paths of impermanence, there are only a few innocent people. Jia Qianlong had a unique skill, and his martial arts skills were unparalleled when he was alive, so he asked me everywhere and insisted on a showdown with me, but he couldn't get rid of it. At that time, this old guy was probably... you It must be this big.”
Lord Shuoyue took out his left hand from his sleeve and stretched out an index finger with sharp knuckles to aim at Rin Shanhai. The part of his arm that was exposed to the air showed some pure white lines.
"Then you accepted his request to spar?"
"No at first. I didn't even look at him. I had too many errands to do in the Six Paths, and I didn't have time to tangle with him. Unexpectedly, he said, 'If you don't refuse, then you have accepted', and I have been chasing him ever since. I wouldn't let him go. I traveled around the world, and he kept finding me with news I didn't know where. Although I didn't avoid him deliberately, I still felt a little annoyed. However, this man's resilience was quite strong, so I asked If he fulfills his wish, he will stop bothering me."
"So you promised him?" Dai Luan asked.
"That's natural. He was very happy. It's just that I'm going to say something ugly first. I really won't be humble about my martial arts, but... the assassin's tricks are not pleasing to the eyes of you righteous warriors. He didn't care at all. He also explained that the use of guns, hidden arrows, and hidden tricks were all his own, and there was no harm. I thought this person was quite interesting, so I decided not to use those unjust means."
"……Who's winning?"
"Although your master is powerful, he is not to the point of dominating the martial arts world. However, he can survive ten rounds under my hand, so he is somewhat capable. I didn't deal with it seriously before, so I paid more attention to the next palm. I He was practicing Cold Nature Qi Jin, and his iron sword became very brittle and broke when touched. He also lost."
Mu Wan sounded a little incredible. In his understanding, the master has always been mature and steady, and he is not so eager for quick success. Lord Shuangyue looked at her deep in thought and continued:
"But he is really... a very stubborn person. He was obviously lying down and unable to move. When he learned that I only used seven degrees of power, I must say that I looked down on him. After he recovered from his injury, he asked me to use all my strength to fight him. He competed in a showdown. He really overestimated his abilities. If so, his body would not be able to catch even three of my moves."
"What happened next? Did you fight again!" Dai Luan was actually very interested.
"Since then...he has suffered from the disease and has never gotten better. His bones have been aching since late autumn, and he can only live in a warm place. But if he is accompanied by frost and snow, he can inject my spiritual power into his body. Use it. After that, I occasionally look at him to prevent him from saying that I ran away - telling others all over the world that I don't give him face."
The place Xue Yan Valley is really suitable for him. Perhaps it was also destined.
