What Lord Shuangyue wants is nothing more than an explanation from Long Miao. Although he was really too lazy to make this trip, he had no choice but to go through with it. But now that Long Miao couldn't give an answer, he was wasting his time here until he really made a decision. Even though everyone knows that verbal agreements never count, there is no need for a signature to be impermanent. Although it sounds a bit arbitrary, after all, the Lord of Naraku has personally selected the person, so he will not neglect this bit of integrity.
The adult is watching from below.
Mu Wan didn't know how to prove it to Lord Shuangyue. While she was deep in thought, Cang Yu seized the opportunity. He immediately said to Lord Shuangyue: "I can give you the explanation she can give. Not only can I vouch for myself, but I can also guarantee the reputation and even the lives of the Egret Demon clan. The way of killing is not our creed. You You can rest assured.”
Lord Shuangyue began to think seriously, and Mu Wan angrily accused him of not caring about Long Miao's opinion at all, pointing out the path chosen by others.
"No, Miss Liangqiu." Long Miao suddenly stopped her, "You don't have to do so much for me."
"Are you willing to let him influence your path?"
"Maybe he is right. After all, this is our housework, so we shouldn't trouble you. Besides, I think you have important things to do. It's really not worthwhile to waste too much time here. "
"But……"
Cang Yu took the opportunity to show sarcasm: "Yes, Miss Liangqiu. Aren't you with those people? Did you have a quarrel? Or were you separated due to some accident? This is not good. Instead of meddling in other people's business, it is better to be alone."
If things had gone by before, she would have rushed up to him and slapped him loudly.
Long Miao turned around and looked at Lord Shuangyue, took two steps forward, and asked him:
"Tell me, how can I prove myself?"
"It's not that troublesome -" Mr. Shuangyue stretched out a hand from his sleeve and spread it out, "Just give me any personal belongings of yours so that I can sense your movements in real time. If possible, Please don't cause trouble all the time, and I don't want to run back and forth. Ah, if you really kill someone, or come into contact with some forbidden magic, I will probably still show up... Although I may not necessarily cause you trouble immediately, but still, here you go Knock, knock, don’t try to push the envelope.”
Mu Wan secretly thought that Sakimenrou was probably like this before. But didn't something go wrong in the end? I don't know whose fault it is - just think it's those two annoying impermanent ghosts who are not doing things right.
On the back of Shuangyue-kun's extended hand, she saw that strange tattoo again. The white ones seem to follow a certain pattern, following specific lines. But she didn't know what it was, after all, it was still hidden under the clothes.
"You, don't even think about it!" Kapok was anxious, and she tried her best to protect him, "You can't control what he wants to do. Even if he wants to stay here, no one has the right to interfere! Long Miao, you Aren't you in a hurry to leave?" She looked back at him worriedly. It can be seen that she has been alone for too long and really wants a companion with whom she can talk more.
"...That's easy to say."
Long Miao actually agreed.
The clothes behind him had folds cut out, but they were not obvious. When he suddenly opened his wings, Mu Wan realized that the place was actually empty, allowing the wings to stretch out. She was slightly surprised. Looking at those white feathers, she had a vague and unreal feeling, as if she was looking directly at some kind of holy son of God.
Even though it was just a nondescript half-demon.
He stretched out the egret's wings on the right side, pulled it over, and pulled off three feathers from it. Then, the wings quickly retracted. It all happened in one go, much more smoothly than he had initially. Cang Yu couldn't help but show a look of joy. He was happy to see this kind of progress. That smile came from deep in his heart.
He took one out and let go of his hand. A burst of air swept it into Lord Shuangyue's hand on the roof. Mr. Shuangyue held it and looked at it repeatedly. After making sure that there was nothing wrong with it, he put it into his sleeve. The other one he handed over to Mu Wan.
"I want to thank you." He said, "I know you are an Onmyoji. Don't be too rough by handing this thing to you. After all, I am penniless. But if you need any help in the future, please contact me. ,welcome any time."
Mu Wan nodded, not knowing what to say. Then, he looked at Kapok aside. The little girl's sadness was written on her face, and she could see that Long Miao was leaving.
"What are you giving me?" she said angrily. "I don't need any memorial. Besides, I'm rooted here and can't go anywhere."
Mu Wan's voice was a little soft, and she said tentatively: "Then...are you willing to be my shikigami?"
"God formula?"
"Yes. The binding force of the contract far exceeds the root system of the flower spirit and wood spirit. If you also want to go far away, you can come with me."
Kapok wasn't sure whether he really wanted to see the wider world, or whether he simply couldn't let go of Longmiao. Who would have known that in the morning I followed him to the strange river to see what was going on, but in the afternoon things suddenly changed dramatically. This brief change gave her the illusion she had when she lost her memory.
She thought for a long time, and no one interrupted her thoughts. But after a while, she made up her mind.
"Let's forget it," Kapok said.
Long Miao was a little curious: "Why? You don't want to..."
"I don't want to anymore. Why are there so many of them? In comparison, I would rather... I would rather wait for them to come back."
The people Kapok was talking about should be friends who have faded in her memory and have disappeared around her. Although she only remembered very few bits and pieces, her love for this land and her passionate feelings for everything she had experienced in the past still flowed in her veins. Just like the books a person has read or the meals he has eaten, as time goes by, part of it is integrated into the body forever.
Kapok probably figured it out and stopped making trouble. She took the feather without saying a word, but held it tightly.
"Alas, my good brother didn't prepare a gift for me."
Cang Yu sighed at the side. Long Miao turned around and looked at him for the first time.
"As you wish, I will let you go. In my life, I have nothing but the lives of Taki's family, and I am not afraid of anything. Besides, I don't think they are innocent. Since you want to take me back so much, I don’t need to hide and hide as if I’ve done something bad.”
"Have you figured it out?" Cang Yu's eyes lit up, "You said yes and you are not allowed to go back on it."
"Integrity is the duty of a human being. This is what humans taught me when I was a child. I have never doubted this sentence in my life. I will not suddenly run away halfway, but I also want to tell you, if I still feel sorry for the situation of my tribe, Dissatisfied, they still have ideas that are very different from mine, I will leave at any time and do what I am willing to do - even if I am alone."
"Okay, okay, no problem." Cang Yu nodded repeatedly, with excitement that could not be concealed on his face. As long as Long Miao is present, this person is simple and easy to guess. He doesn't modify his emotions at all, which may be a benefit of being associated with some youkai.
In the end, both Long Miao and Cang Yu left. Kapok looked at their retreating figures and said nothing. She looked at Mu Wan with sorrow in her eyes, knowing that she would never stay. Fortunately, their contact time was short and they didn't have any deep feelings. She simply said goodbye to her, turned around and ran into the house and closed the door. She didn't know if she was quietly sad alone.
Mu Wan and Shuangyue Jun were left looking at each other.
"Aren't you leaving?" Mu Wan asked him, "Your goal should be accomplished. Why do you continue to stay here?"
"What about you? Aren't you leaving?" Lord Shuangyue asked, "Do you want to follow me and leave this desolate land?"
"So what? Could it be that you really spend a few days and nights here? I don't think the Six Paths are so free."
Mr. Shuangyue was not annoyed, he just shrugged indifferently. He jumped down from the eaves briskly, his movements were neat and crisp, without any preparation for jumping from a high place, but he was sure to do it. He nodded and answered her that he was indeed not idle.
"But I also walked through the spiritual vein. This place is very big, and walking here will be exhausting."
"..."
Mu Wan didn't want to ask him for help, but she knew there was no point in struggling here alone. She was hesitating, trying to form words. Mr. Shuangyue was not stupid and had no intention of making things difficult for her. He said in an indifferent tone:
"Since you are his disciple, I can help you."
She accepted the kindness and let him go. The spiritual vein is not far or close to here, but when we walked there, it was completely dark. She raised her head, but the dense stars made it difficult for her to open her eyes, and she didn't know where the moon was.
Shuangyue Jun didn't know when he took out the bell, and she didn't know when she entered the spiritual vein. Just by walking like this, they were already in this extraordinary place. She was startled when she lowered her head, her legs weak - there was darkness everywhere, but there were stars everywhere. It was as if the ground suddenly disappeared, leaving only two living creatures in the entire empty world.
But the feeling of stepping on the ground was real, which made her incredible. Lord Shuangyue suddenly reminded her:
"Don't let your thoughts wander. You'll really miss your feet here. Just concentrate on walking."
If she didn't say it, she would become even more nervous.
In order to alleviate this anxiety, Mu Wan took the opportunity to ask some other questions to Lord Shuangyue.
"Have you not found your Demon-Sealing Blade yet?"
"Huh? Instead, I should ask you if you found it."
"No, I mean, you don't know its whereabouts yet?"
"That's natural. After all, it comes and goes in the human world. It should have been hidden. When it was circulated on the market decades ago, the price on the black market was so high."
"It's actually on the black market, what a waste of money."
"Don't people just like to do this? There's nothing wrong with it. However, there are also many imitations, but they are easy to identify."
"Is the one that can't be pulled out the real thing?"
"Yes. Many people have made a lot of viscose, but some of them melt when exposed to water, some of them melt by roasting them with fire, or they directly burn the paper strips and tapes wrapped on them. Then the things written on them are very particular. , it can’t be lit at all. Some knifemakers simply welded the imitations to death, and then had someone cut them open with a saw. The inside is still hollow, and there is no blade at all. Do you think it’s perfunctory or not?”
Mu Wan wanted to laugh a little. But at this moment, Lord Shuangyue suddenly stopped. She almost hit him.
"What's wrong?"
"Shh." He suddenly raised his hand to signal, and Mu Wan quickly closed her mouth and looked around. But there was nothing except the starry night.
"...Who is coming?"
"Shigetsuki-kun?"
Such a strange sound came from the air, but Mu Wan couldn't find the source of the sound, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
