The ugly moment, Qinglian Town.
There was silence in front of the dark lotus pond, and the moon was sleeping behind the clouds, looking peaceful and peaceful. The green girl raised her eyebrows slightly, her bright and narrow eyes glowing with a faint red light in the night.
"Your lurking skills are becoming more and more skillful." She said loudly in admiration, "But no, it's not enough. You haven't deceived my eyes yet."
A red and white mask slowly emerged in the night ahead, as if rising from the water, taking his time and allowing every drop of water to completely recede. The young man's voice came from under the mask, with provocation and humility.
"You know best who I am."
The Laughing Wolf came closer and turned around twice, like an old wolf sizing up a rabbit. But this rabbit's mouth clearly has thick fangs, and it is wrapped in a flawless white skin, with no flaws visible.
"You found a new toy? It seems there are more than one."
There was no light, not even moonlight, but the Laughing Wolf picked up a hair from her shoulder with precision. This hair is not long, about two turns, and is also black. But he knew that it wasn't Qingnv's hair - her hair was dark and beautiful, but all of it was as long as a waterfall, and it shouldn't be so short.
"The granary was holed by rats during the day, and weasels came in at night."
The metaphor of the green girl was so obvious that the Laughing Wolf looked at her slightly sideways, unable to guess her expression. He probably didn't like this metaphor, but he didn't really mind.
"But I'm still a little surprised that you actually found out about Qinglian Town. I'm really lucky that you got in."
"Even if it's not such a coincidence, I have to think of another way."
"Hey, you are so anxious to see me? Does that adult assign you a new follower who doesn't like it?"
"That kid can never catch up with me. He should have crippled me the first time he saw me. Or rather... he shouldn't have let me go in the first place."
"He may not be able to beat you, but the demon-binding rope can. You'd better not get caught by him."
"It's better to say that he can't protect himself."
After hearing this, Qingnv laughed mockingly and said jokingly: "What a loud tone."
The Laughing Wolf responded with a strange laugh that sounded very old. He said:
"I'm sorry that you couldn't watch me go on. Do you know what mission I am running on now?"
"I'm not interested in your mission." Qingnu said coldly, "I'd rather listen to the people behind the mission."
"Do you know why the killers of Zuojinmen are in pairs, but I am alone?" The Laughing Wolf did not answer her, "Because of this task, no one dares to collect the corpses for me, and one of them will die... I can't say for sure. I can’t even keep my body.”
"Why, do they want you to assassinate Yama Demon?"
"You are the only person I know who dares to call him by his first name - the answer is very close, but not enough." He lowered his voice and leaned closer, "I have to... kill a Six Paths Impermanence."
"……Um?"
Qingnv slightly squinted her eyes, not sure whether she believed it or not. The Laughing Wolf didn't care about her, but kept the distance again, and said in a relaxed and indifferent tone: "Someone wants the Huangquan Bell. Everyone knows that this thing is locked with the fate of the Impermanent Ghost. If you want to get it, you have to kill it. Its owner, otherwise there is no other way.”
"Oh. When you said that, I probably guessed who placed the order. What, do you want to steal it from me? By you? I gave you a chance, but you didn't seize it. Ah, Mr. Yingyue How many beautiful girls have you killed after spying on you? Tell us."
"The day before yesterday was the nine hundred and eighty-ninth." The Laughing Wolf said a cold number nonchalantly, "You are always elusive. Only when I was in Qinglian Town, I had more time to come to you outside. But I am definitely not here for your Huang Quanling. I hope it is a beautiful female Wu Chang. Do you think the Wu Chang face is a human face? "
"Tsk. No matter what, I don't believe that apart from that lord and Kanna-kun, there is a way to make the ghosts of impermanence fly away. You can't kill me either. Except that lord - no one can."
Qingnv said, suddenly reaching out her hand and clenching her empty palm. The water lilies in the lotus pond bloomed one by one, and as they bloomed, they slowly emitted a warm red light. Groups of warm and bright lotus flowers float, as beautiful as lanterns, but they bloom forever.
"I came to see you because I just have a small wish - I would like to know how much I weigh now? Are you willing to give me a favor?"
Qingnu glanced at him disdainfully.
"It's nonsense for you to kill Liudao Wuchang, whether you can beat him or not, and let Wuchang die. I'm not sure what folk method you found. Even if you really want to take it from me, it doesn't matter. I think It’s not that you’re trying to test whether you have the ability to compete with Wu Chang... but that you’re actually still holding a grudge, right?”
The Laughing Wolf stood still and said nothing. He turned his head and looked at the pool where the fire lotus was blooming. The firelight reflected the warm color on the mask. He was silent, silent, as if he was trying to think of something.
"You are right to say that. I am very concerned about the fact that what sounds like a fair transaction takes away seemingly the same things, but the actual impact on both parties is completely different. It seems like you are cheating, but I am looking for Without a reason to refute, this is too painful for me. Apart from discussing with you, I cannot resolve the unwillingness deep in my heart."
The Laughing Wolf said, clasping his hands on the mask.
As the mask moved down, an appearance that no one would associate with a human appeared.
It is riddled with holes or crisscrossed with ravines, but these words are not enough to describe his true appearance. Like the devastated foothills where the magma has dried up, or the fragmented winter ice... This is a very strange appearance, vast and crowded, curled up on this human face. The place used for breathing may be hidden in countless cracks, the eyes are squeezed by pieces of flesh, staggered up and down, and the mouth seems to be torn apart suddenly. The skin and flesh seemed to be separated, but they didn't. They were just connected together so shallowly, as if they would fall off if pulled, and as if they were sewn together firmly by dark red blood scabs. It, they, are like...
Blooming flowers.
Man aka...
"Sakimenro." Qingme said, "Have you seen this lotus pond? If you fall into it, your hair and skin will be completely destroyed and you will be in pain. By then, this face will not be the only one with scars. Why, rotten Have you forgotten Yuejun’s sin-burning karma?"
"No. On the contrary, I remember it very clearly. I was really unwilling--unwilling." The Laughing Wolf came closer and lifted her chin provocatively with a hand that was completely different from the skin on her face, "You too , with such a beautiful face, why can’t it be peeled off?”
This palm was powerful enough to push Sakimeniro's chest and knock him out hard. He quickly steadied his steps, and a biting chill surged through his chest, penetrating from the outside into his heart. It was not that he was unprepared, the internal force of the body protection blocked the cold energy that hit his vital points. His clothes were covered in a heavy layer of frost, as was his skin.
"Someone is in a hurry." He raised his voice.
"This is just a warning." Qingnv said calmly, "The next move is not so polite. I don't mind working for Yingyue-kun."
"Because this isn't your face at all."
Qingnv's eyes twitched - this was a successful provocation.
Faced with Qingme's terrifying silence, Sakimenro shrugged indifferently: "Don't you care how I knew it? That's a pity. I'm going to explain it. You are curious about what I came to Qinglian Town to do. What? Don’t worry, we are definitely not trying to make things difficult for these innocent residents."
"Hey. Changed your gender? This is so merciful." Qingnv sneered, "But don't you think that even if you kill the whole town, you can sway me?"
Sakimenuro shook his head.
"Your heart is never made of stone, but of snakes and scorpions. But I'm just here for you - I'm here to get back what I should have had back then."
As he spoke, he raised the skinning knife and pointed it straight at Qingnv's face. Under the blade, there was unspeakable murderous intent.
Qingnv smiled softly.
"Then it depends on you...whether you have the ability. I didn't want to care about you, but since you want to take action against the Six Paths of Impermanence...that adult will be unhappy. I can't condone you either. How much do you weigh? It’s very clear, but there are indeed people in the impermanence who are even less skilled in martial arts.”
The young girl flipped her hands lightly, and the water vapor condensed out of thin air into a sharp ice cone, which was slender, narrow, and sharp. They flew like arrows and were dodged dexterously. Sakimenro easily smashed them to pieces with the internal force of his palm. But soon, the broken debris floating in the air quickly gathered together and returned to their original appearance. While dodging, he kept smashing them into pieces with his knife at an alarming speed. The fragments pursued him like an annoying swarm of bees. When he pulled out a long enough distance, he briefly exercised his power, causing a blue-white air wave to confront the unformed ice mass.
All the ice was broken into powder and scattered in the air. Sakimeniro must have calculated the distance so that they could completely face his face before they could recover, blending into that weird face.
"I almost forgot..." Qingnv twisted her face, "You have fought against Lord Shuangyue and intercepted his cold energy."
"If this is all you have, you can't deal with me."
"Yes. So what?"
Qingnv raised her hands at the same time, slowly holding up something that didn't exist. But in those empty hands, two illusory lights condensed into each other. The light is tangible, and one can tell at a glance that it can be touched. But no one wants to touch them - they are snow and fire, extreme cold and extreme heat. Fragments of spiritual energy overflowed, sputtering like sparks, blue, white and orange like smoke and clouds, like stealing the sunset sky, forcibly stripping away the cold and warm colors, clenching it tightly, and then holding it in the hand.
They soon became irregular and restless, quivering restlessly in her hands. The core of these two kinds of spiritual power is dazzling white, like two suns that cannot be seen directly in the dark night, but also light up everything.
She slowly brought her hands together, gently and carefully, like placing delicate flowers picked carefully together.
Her red lips were slightly close to the palm of her hand, as if she was about to blow away a handful of snowflakes. There were snake-like lines on the wrists that were exposed to the air. They were also glowing, but they were weaker than those in her hands and could almost be ignored. Looking from a distance, it looks like a few strands of fluffy, messy hair spreading out from under two balls of light.
"...Qingnu?"
Behind him, Mu Wan's voice sounded at an inappropriate time.
