As for Lin Shanhai, he felt that Lord Shuangyue and the head of the Xueyan Sect still had some affection for each other.
He didn't know if Mu Wan felt this way, but Dai Luan had always been a clever little kid and understood some of the hidden meanings. But at this moment, she was so sleepy that she yawned loudly and squeezed out a few tears.
"I've finished listening to the story. Girl, can you give way?" Lord Shuangyue asked lazily.
Mu Wan refused to give in: "This matter is not that simple. You still have to tell me where the Demon Sealing Blade is? If you count its scabbard, you must know where it is."
"Huh? What do you want the Demon-Sealing Blade to do? Your master has spent most of his life helping me find a way to release it, but you want to find it."
Shanhai intervened in the stalemate between the two people and saluted Lord Shuangyue sincerely.
"You don't know something. The person who kidnapped their sect leader was one of your colleagues, Lord Yingyue. He was restricted by Lord Yama and wanted to lift those chains, so he tied him up and wanted to know the secret of the Demon-Sealing Blade. Whereabouts. Perhaps only the Demon-Sealing Blade in this world can cut off that adult's chain."
"Well, I know that, and it's true." Lord Shuangyue muttered, "Well... but it's of no use. Although I have something to do with the Demon Sealing Blade, I really don't know where it is. The Demon Sealing Blade is not in the human world. The sword is a demon sword forged by Shura. It is not just as simple as you think - it has inner demons. The unsheathed wakizashi is just a decoration for ordinary people. I threw it into the world hundreds of years ago , just ignore it and wait for the day when someone can take it out of its sheath and replace me."
"You don't want to be impermanent?" Mu Wan was puzzled.
Lord Shuangyue looked at her sideways, frowned slightly, and then let out a disdainful sneer.
"Tsk. That's enough for me. You can do it if you like it." He yawned for a long time, "Phew - I wish someone could take it out quickly so that I could be reincarnated as soon as possible. All day long, I'm with that person. I am very tired of serving as your lord's servant."
As expected, yawns are contagious, and Dai Luan followed up with another yawn. While opening her mouth wide, she said vaguely:
"We are looking for Yun Waijing... When Yun Waijing is found, everything will be solved."
"But the map was..." Mu Wan said.
"I carried it."
"What?"
The three people looked at her at the same time, especially Mu Wan, with disbelief in their eyes.
"Well, it's not very difficult." She explained, "I read it for a long time. Memorizing the graphics is much easier than memorizing... But we have run out of inkstones and have to buy new ones."
Lord Shuangyue stared at Dai Luan blankly, looking up and down for a long time. Then he took a gentle breath.
"I've heard other impermanent ghosts talk about you... you are indeed an incredible girl. Yun Waijing? No one has seen that thing for many years. Okay, talking to you is taking up time, so hurry up and do your own thing. Go ahead."
"Wait a minute!" As he was about to leave, Shanhai stopped him, "To be honest, we are being made things difficult by Wu Yuangui, and they will soon get Yun Waijing's map... We must be one step ahead of them. So, can we? Could you please lend us the Underworld Bell? We... have to cross another spiritual vein."
"...again?" Lord Shuangyue raised his eyebrows.
"Well, with the help of Lord Jiyue and Lord Yeyue, we came here directly from Wule City."
"Wule City?" He repeated, "Jiyue Lord and Ye Yue Lord? These two people are so courageous. Didn't they tell you that a mortal's life will be shortened if he travels between the six realms?"
"..."
"Heh, it looks like not."
"...Indeed. But we can't blame them. After all, we have to rush back in an emergency, so we have to take this step. Although...one of our companions has been lost in the gap between the six paths due to some accidents. But, they said they would think Method……"
"It seems that you have something urgent to leave again. Are you still thinking of a way? It's very dangerous, and even the bones can't be found when collecting the corpses. Besides, Huangquan Ling can't protect so many of you, and I'm afraid another one will get in. Yours I've also heard about my friend, he's the Master of Hundred Bones. Don't do too many immoral things, just deduct all your Yangshou."
"Who allowed you to say that to him?!" Mu Wan became anxious again.
"I can't help you anyway, just figure it out on your own. Why do you want to go back?"
"No..." Shan Hai hesitated, "Actually, we don't know where we should go. But, we need to leave here first."
"That's serious. Isn't my time time? You have delayed me long enough. I want to go to Wule City."
Dai Luan scratched her ears and asked casually: "What are you going to do? Catch Tang He?"
"That assassin? No. I'm going to find a half-demon. I was kidnapped by an egret spirit under the eyes of Lord Jiyue... I have to clean up the mess. Even though they must have escaped long ago, I still have to go. Look for some clues. If you want to find a place to rest, there are some old farmers on the south river as ferrymen."
"...Thank you Lord Shuangyue."
Mu Wan put her hands on her hips: "Whatever you do politely is what he should do. I haven't settled this account with him yet."
If there are more words, the three of them don't know what to say, they just stand there, you look at me, I look at you. Lord Shuangyue was really leaving, but no one could find any more words to say. However, after walking for a while, Lord Shuangyue suddenly stopped. Although he did not look back, he still said:
"The head of the Snow Inkstone Sect once promised me that he would be the one to draw the sword out of its sheath."
"What? Don't lie to me. How could he..."
Mr. Shuangyue is gone. Shan Hai bowed to the departing figure. After he slowly straightened up, he sighed.
This must be the reason why Mu Wan's master helped him research the Demon-Sealing Blade, and why Lord Shuangyue is still willing to associate with him. It seems that the two people are not life-and-death friends, they just have direct exchanges of interests.
"Alas... Even if we get Yun Waijing, Wuqi Aqi, Wangui Zhi, and Demon-Sealing Blade, we have to find them one by one. And this is not something we can tell others casually. When the time comes, so will we. I don’t have enough time to do all the work.”
"Let's talk about it after we find it."
They went all the way south and came to the riverside pointed by Lord Shuangyue. Even Mu Wan was not familiar with this place. She only knew the roads that she often took to get in and out of the valley. After paying some boat fare, they went down the river and found a small town along the river. This town is not big, and it doesn't even have a name. The sky has completely brightened up, and the vast white color pierces the eyes.
After finding a small hotel, Dai Luan collapsed on the hard bed, not wanting to move.
Shan Hai borrowed Mo Lai from the front desk.
"Wake up, you said you memorized the map, draw it first and go to sleep."
"When I wake up... just draw... I have memorized what I have memorized and will never forget..."
"What if? Draw now."
Dai Luan reluctantly got up and picked up the pen. Mu Wan, who was sitting aside, sighed with dark circles under his eyes.
"I don't understand..." she said, "Why would my master want to be impermanent? He lost his wife and daughter back then. Given his character, it is only reasonable for him to want to die to apologize. Why should he pursue eternal life? way?"
"Perhaps in addition to the martial arts competition, Lord Shuangyue is also kind to him." Shan Hai supported his heavy head with one hand, "I just said it casually. Those things about them have been in the past for a long time, not to mention that it is not possible now. We outsiders ,can not say it clearly."
"Perhaps he wants to find the reincarnation of his wife and daughter and silently compensate them. Lord Shuangyue didn't say when he promised to find a way to draw the sword." Dai Luan continued while drawing.
"Yes. But I'm just... very frustrated. I have been his apprentice for more than ten years, and now that he is gone, I realize that I actually know nothing about him."
"People have many sides. A lifetime is too short to fully see them."
For some reason, when she heard Shan Hai's words, she thought of Qinglu Ya and Cheng You again. She didn't know whether the painting he painted was finished or not - all she could see that day was just an antler of a green deer. The human heart is also huge enough, so big that a blind person can only detect one side of it like an elephant.
Is it Cheng You who wants to be a first-class painter or the six realms of impermanence?
"All human progress comes from continuous accumulation and practice. As long as the time is long enough and the sights and things we have seen and experienced are enough, I think anything can be accomplished." Cheng You said.
"As a human being, it is absolutely normal for you to think like this. But..." Yao'e looked at him with those terrifyingly big eyes, "Do you know how long I have lived?"
"Miss Yue'e has a very strong demonic aura. I think she is at least a demon who has been practicing for hundreds of years."
Yao'e nodded.
"I don't remember how old I am, let alone my birthday. I just remember that I was born in May. May is very humid and very cold. I have lived in Qinglize for hundreds of years and never left. step."
"Oh? Then you must know Satsuki-kun."
"I know, I've seen it a few times. I've heard her prices are always weird, but she didn't ask me what I wanted. I told her I was looking for someone... someone I'd probably never met before. She told me Who is that? He also told me that that person comes occasionally, but he also leaves very quickly, so I don’t know. But I am very familiar with his aura. Even if I can’t remember other monsters, I can always tell him apart.”
"Eh? Can't you ask her to tell that Impermanence and let him stay for a while?"
"She didn't agree...perhaps this is the price of a free answer. She also said that I have to find it myself to understand the whole story. I understand this too. And..."
"and?"
Yue'e stopped and Chengyou looked at her curiously.
"I've found him."
"Really? Where is he? Ah...it has nothing to do with me." He smiled, "Are we going to say goodbye?"
She responded softly: "I think so. That person... doesn't like humans."
"Ah, I understand. I didn't expect you to be the first. Anyway, I wish you all the best."
"Thank you anyway." Yao'e raised her head and looked at the sun in the sky, "I'm one step closer to that warm feeling."
Cheng You waved his hands indifferently, turned around, and prepared to go find the groom. Although Yue'e knows his direction, he is still a long way from his goal.
"Master Cheng, wait a moment. This is for you."
As soon as he got on the horse, Yue'e handed him a small pink purse. He opened his mouth and saw some shimmering powder inside.
"Hey, it's a high-end product." He tapped it with his fingertips. "This phosphorus powder has many uses besides being used as a pigment and a medicinal material. Thank you girl, but Cheng has nothing to repay. I feel ashamed."
"It's okay. But I'm still a little curious. What did you use Kisaragi-kun's painting in exchange for from Satsuki-kun? I want to see that thing - the thing that can make you give up the painting that you have been dreaming about."
"Of course, that's not a problem."
After saying that, Cheng You took out an object from his arms. The object was also small, about the same size as the small purse that Miss Yu'e gave him. He held it in his hand. In the sun, it glows with smooth and subtle color.
A...silver bell.
