"It's probably something like a curse." Xiao said.
To Chi Li, this whole thing is just like a story, just listen to it. She doesn't care about worldly affairs. She lives alone and practices alone in a place outside the world. Until one day a year later, Xiao told her again that the child had come to Siluiyun Mountain.
The originally well-known and large family declined rapidly in a short period of time, and it was impossible not to attract people's attention. When they learned that there was only one child left, the major forces couldn't sit still. During this year, Mo Liang met all kinds of people. Even though they know that the bone sword will bring misfortune, greedy people still flock to it. Whether it was for reselling at a high price or for personal use, driven by various unspeakable motives, they came to the door one by one.
Naturally, there are also families who monitor and control him on the grounds of protection. Because he had been rescued several times, Mo Liang still trusted some people. It's just that the aristocratic family is too chaotic, and he has heard all kinds of good and bad words, truth and lies, one after another. People only thought that he was a boy in his early ten years who was ignorant of the world, but they didn't know that he saw everything and kept it in his heart.
One day Mo Liang woke up and found that the sword had become strange.
It originally had a straight sword body, and its entire structure was made of bones. According to ancestral legend, it was the wing bone of Garuda. The sword part should be the skull of other birds for decoration. The strange part is the blade of the sword, which is tied in a strange knot.
It's not like expansion caused by changes in temperature and humidity, but a real knot. It was as if the entire section of bone softened, was tied up like a rope, and became strong again.
Has its length increased?
It has always been with Mo Liang. As Mo Liang grows, so does he. Every time he puts it upright on the ground, it almost reaches his neck. Now that he did this again, the sword was indeed shorter, only reaching the collarbone.
It has indeed become longer, right?
Mo Liang didn't feel much panic. After all, he had seen too many things, and he couldn't even remember how many relatives died in front of him. Even if disaster befalls him one day, he will not feel surprised at all. It's just that this thing is strange. There is no reason why bones can change. If it weren't for this bone knot, he wouldn't even notice that the bone sword had grown longer.
"Run." A voice in my head said, "Within today, they will discover its changes and take it away from you."
Mo Liang didn't know whose voice it was. Just like the voice that comes to your mind when you read a passage silently. No one, not even yourself.
"Someone is going to make an excuse, saying that you cast a spell on the sword, and you want to curse them, just like you did to your own family."
"I didn't." Mo Liang retorted.
"Then they will kill you and take your things," the voice continued.
He didn't know what to do, let alone whether to trust such words from unknown sources.
But he doesn't want to die.
So he ran away.
He behaves well on weekdays and doesn't have much sense of presence. Coupled with the concealment of his martial arts, he easily climbed over the courtyard wall and left. It took a while for the people who took it lightly to realize that he was missing, and immediately sent troops to pursue him. He ran all the way towards the direction of Kuiyun Mountain. Apart from this outfit and this sword, he had almost no preparation. In this inaccessible and dangerous mountainous area, if nothing unexpected happens, he will die soon.
He never wanted to drop the sword. Maybe he threw it at the entrance of the mountain and ran for his life, and he might survive. But firstly, this is an ancestral treasure of the family, and secondly... he may return to the sword one day, and he can only take it with him. When he was lying alone in the shade of a tree, he closed his eyes and thought quietly that as long as he didn't die in the hands of bad people, it would be good to stay awake like this.
He fell asleep and woke up in a vast expanse of white.
Chi Li cares about him very much. Seeing him was like seeing another version of myself.
People are unpredictable and greedy, and they only want to fight for their own interests, completely ignoring the cries of the victims. They could only see the money and treasures in front of them, but not the blood and bones beneath their feet.
Here, in this mirrored void, they could live just fine. Chi Li promised him to find a way to break this curse of unknown origin.
"That sword was given by the Six Paths of Impermanence." Xiao said, "Maybe we can get some clues by looking for the Impermanence Ghost."
Akatsuki can indeed catch any trace of impermanence - as long as it is in the human world. It's just that they often come and go without a trace. If they want to find a way to break the curse, there must be a reason first. She was waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to talk to the Impermanent Ghost.
Xiao also said that this bone sword has very evil properties. It continued to draw strength from him because his soul resonated with it. That sword is alive, it is dormant in this family, waiting for the current opportunity. The worst outcome is probably that the bone sword drains him dry, causing the demon bird to resurrect and the demon god to come to the world. Bone knots are a sign of its growth. If left unchecked, the more it grows, the more trouble it will have.
"Less than five hundred years ago, there were eight such ghosts and gods in the world. They slowly expanded their power in the extreme south. Because of the mutual constraints, they didn't cause too much trouble yet, and they just suffered from it. The people. Now, a hundred years after the God-killing War, if such a terrifying force comes again, the people may not be able to survive."
Chili didn't think too much, she just hoped that the child could survive.
So how to stop the growth of bone sword? During this time, she also undertook many other endeavors. She doesn't know much about traditional spells, and her spiritual power is not strong, not even as strong as Mo Liang's spiritual power. Maybe there is some medicine or some method that can help him live a little longer. In all these years, she has never taken away anyone's life, never done good, and never done evil. She just wanted to do what she thought she should do.
"I understand." Lin Shanhai said.
The sky was getting darker, and the sky was like mist. Several people sat in the room and just finished talking about the past.
"I have never mentioned it to anyone," Chili said. "I thought Xiaoliang would be a little afraid of strangers."
"It's okay..." he whispered.
"So you are actually the true heir of the Xue Yan Sect? Then, do you know about your father..."
The shallow smile on Chi Li's face disappeared. She nodded slightly but said nothing.
Xiao spoke for her: "Although she doesn't hold a grudge...but she doesn't like her father. When she was a child, she was looking forward to his coming back, but he was always outside and never came home all day long. He promised to accompany them It can't be done. Although her mother doesn't hate him, nor does she want her to. Obviously, this can't be done, and who has the right to care about anyone's love and hatred. "
Shan Hai thought about it carefully, and it was indeed normal for her to dislike her father. After all, that man was absent from her entire childhood. She had no obligation to do anything for the Xue Yan Sect or the things left by her father, and he was not qualified to use this as a blackmail or emotionally kidnap her to do anything.
Rather, he was quite surprised that he found Yun Waijing before Wu Yuangui and the others, and that Yun Waijing was actually with Chi Li, the head's biological daughter, who was still alive. Rather, he found the most incredible thing about falling from an abyss and still surviving.
"I really can't force you to do anything..." Shanhai lamented, "Then, I have something else to ask of you."
"Are you looking for your apprentice?" Xiao said, "A girl, younger than Ali and older than Xiaoliang."
"Ah, that's right!"
"After all, you are the only two living creatures in the entire Siluiyun Mountain..."
"She is indeed alive." Shan Hai breathed a sigh of relief, "That's great. Then... where is she now?"
"In a cave, with...probably Mizumu-kun."
"Mizumi-kun?"
"Well, that should be right. It's Fu Songfengdai·Shui Wujun. I saw the sword on his body."
"That's fine..."
After confirming Dai Luan's safety, Shan Hai was completely relieved. He hoped to find them, and Shui Wujun was proficient in forging, and could probably tell the reason for this bone sword. Now, what he still wants to know is the whereabouts of Mu Wan and Wu Qi. But when he thought of Mu Wan, he would naturally think that she needed Chi Li to go back with her.
He knew her well and knew that she would never want the Snow Inkstone Sect to fall into the hands of that kind of person.
Shanhai needs more opportunities. So he tentatively asked Xiao:
"It is said that Death Shadow Pavilion is also a place where the heaven and earth are known. Regarding this curse, why don't you try it?"
"It's not like I haven't seen the Death Shadow Pavilion make some embarrassing requests." Xiao shrugged, "For example, if you say you want to get rid of the curse of this sword, even if they can really come up with a way, they will ask you for the final revenge. What should you do with this sword, or other things that you can't lose? If what they want is just to make things difficult for others and find it interesting, then that's fine. They always want to do something that goes against the principles of yin and yang of the five elements. When something happens, try to instigate it to others."
It can be said that he understands the style of Death Shadow Pavilion very well.
"The people from the Death Shadow Pavilion... She Ji seem to be interfering in the affairs of the Xue Yan Sect."
Chili raised her eyes slightly, her movements very small. Then, she glanced at Xiao, as if she didn't know anything about it.
"I know," Xiao said to her, "but you didn't ask me."
Why would she ask? After her father disappeared, the Xue Yan Sect had nothing to do with her anymore - not to mention she had never started, she only went to play occasionally when her grandfather was still alive. She only knew that there were no good people in the Death Shadow Pavilion, but she didn't know who was in power in the Xue Yan Sect now. These things are indeed no longer important to her.
but……
"Xue Yanzong has nothing to interfere with."
"Shenying Pavilion seems to know that the wife of their leader owns Yun Waijing. She Ji wants to use the power of Xue Yan Sect to make it his chess piece so that he can find the whereabouts of Yun Waijing. In addition, he probably also wants to Some other moves.”
Chi Li was silent for a while, and both Xiao and Mo Liang looked at her. She glanced sideways slightly and said the next sentence indifferently.
"It has nothing to do with me."
