There are signs of damage to vegetation nearby.
Even in the deserted suburbs, this place is a bit too messy. The turf was lifted up and the trees destroyed, as if armies had fought here. But Dai Luan knew that all of this might just be the work of two people. She also found a large amount of blood and even small pieces of flesh at the scene. She didn't know who was seriously injured, but she could only see blood stains spreading up the mountain.
This mountain is neither high nor short, but the vegetation is sparser. She walked up the scattered blood trail and almost lost it several times. She walked for too long and wanted to give up several times. The sun began to tilt towards the west. The blood was so sparse that it disappeared completely, probably because it had been stopped, but she was already trapped in the mountain. It was not impossible to return if she wanted to, but she was unwilling to do so. With this time, he might be able to help Shan Hai and the others. So she looked over there, and saw that the city had been obscured by the mountains, and only the dark sky was like a stain on the blue cloth.
I don't know if she walked too fast or was in a hurry. It was early spring, but she felt hot and sweaty all over her body. On the mountain, she discovered several abandoned mines one after another. There were no people or tools, only traces of previous excavations. These mines have been abandoned for a long time. Perhaps in the past, ore was continuously transported to the two cities. No wonder their swords and jewelry were more famous. Dai Luan walked for a long time, feeling tired and hot, and felt uncomfortable in her heart.
At this time, a squirrel scurried past her feet. In the sky, several birds flew away in the same direction. Dai Luan realized something, looked in the direction they came from, and quickened her pace.
The mountain is very steep and there are not many shelters. She walked some distance and hid behind a tree. The trees in this area all grow diagonally on the mountain, and they are parallel to each other. I don’t know if it’s because they grow diagonally or because the hillside is too sloping. But that's not important. What's important is that right in front, there are countless metal chains hanging between many trees, tightly entangled, and someone is locked in the middle. Even from a distance, she could clearly see that the man's clothes were missing a sleeve, and it was torn off and wrapped around his thigh. It must have been injured by the chain. Now, blood is oozing from it again. There was something at his feet. Dai Luan squinted her eyes and took a closer look. It was a strange-looking knife.
Yingyue Jun's situation is by no means better than him. Although his situation seemed more favorable at the moment, his injuries were more serious. It stands to reason that the Six Paths of Impermanence can heal faster than ordinary people, and their pain is less obvious. This is all to allow them to better deal with various threats. This physical slowness may also gradually numb the mind.
Yingyue Jun's wounds still remain on his body. He may have received too many attacks in a short period of time, which caused extremely serious damage to his small body. He was lying on the ground. The soil around him was dark and caked. It should also be stained with blood.
He raised his forearms, his eyes as fierce as a little leopard's.
"What a pity. I should have killed you in that temple!"
"Do you have what it takes?" The wolf under the mask mocked, "On your own?"
Yingyuejun tightened her grip on the soil on the ground. Suddenly, the chains turned red, as if they were heated. Wisps of hot smoke emitted from the parts that were wrapped around trees and people. Dai Luan was a little panicked. After all, the trees here were very dry, and it would be troublesome if they burned. So she walked out.
"...Is it you?" Lord Yingyue seemed to recognize her. She patted the dirt on her body and stood up staggeringly, "I know, I know you... Huh, you are the disciple from Xue Yan Valley..."
His breathing was messy and he couldn't stand firmly. Although he looked fierce, he looked like a drunk little mouse.
"I'm not going to fight with you. You listen to me -" Dai Luan pointed in the direction down the mountain, "Wule City appeared..."
"The ghost girl with a thousand faces." He stared into her eyes.
"You know?" Although it was expected, Dai Luan was still very angry, "Then why did you ignore it?"
"What does the life and death of the ants have to do with me?" He was still so disdainful, "He should have died a long time ago. This is retribution!"
"I don't understand. What relationship do they have with the people who killed you back then? You killed all of them, even the spectators were not spared. You should have taken revenge. Why should you count such emotions? Of all the people? The people of Wule City, the people of Cangyi City, the nomads on Bili Plain... Which person has something to do with your past? None of them should bear responsibility for the faults of those people. They also have Children, you have parents, but you don’t have parents? Don’t your family love you? Or you can’t feel it? I think they have spoiled you and made you take people’s feelings and lives so lightly.”
Yingyue Jun wiped the blood from his face with the back of his hand, looking disapproving.
"Yes, yes. You are right, they spoiled me, so they are also at fault. They should not have given birth to me." He spread out his two red hands, "Go and blame them, okay? Really? You're laughing so hard. I think you've been with that crazy woman for so long that you can't tell right from wrong."
"I can't tell?"
Dai Luan didn't feel angry, she just felt incredible and a little baffled. It was obviously something that even a child would understand, but the brat who was older than her in front of her made her speechless. She knew that she was here to convince him, and she must not be led into the ditch by him. What he said just now was already a bit emotional. When arguing with this kind of brat, you have to keep your temper.
Hold him steady first.
"Hmm...Okay, I can't tell. Everything goes well in my family, so I really can't fully understand your plight. But now that you are under the control of that adult, you can smoothly get rid of the people and people you don't like. Is it okay? No."
"That's not the only thing I don't like? Think about it, he killed so many people along the way, and just because he added a place like Zuojimen that was full of desperadoes, no one dared to even put a reward on it. In other words, all the descendants were killed by the Zuojimen. That was because they were not capable enough! The daughters and sisters of the beloved lover should avenge them, but among a thousand people - a thousand people, who do you see standing up? Brother Changye is right, human beings are just a mob. They are short-lived, like children who are not grown up."
Have you grown up? In addition, Dai Luan felt a headache when she heard a certain name. It was tiring to reason with him.
"You can't ignore people who were born with hardship just because you have unique and favorable conditions."
"Then blame them for being born in the wrong child. Anyway, I'm right. Speaking of those thousand people, it's all his fault that he miscounted and allowed this monster to be born earlier than expected... I haven't prepared anything yet, nothing How many people are there in Lecheng? I originally wanted him to kill a few more, but counting them is really troublesome."
Hopeless.
No wonder they all said that Yama had given up on him. This kind of impermanence will only bring more misfortune to the world. For a guy like this, it's enough for Kutsutsuki-kun to be with him. But Dai Luan didn't intend to give up, otherwise all the sweat would be in vain. She was going to try another angle to convince him.
"That lord sent you to monitor him. Now that he has violated the precepts, you will naturally want to kill him. I know this. But it is too late to kill him now. The appearance of the ghost girl Thousand Faces must have been expected by that lord. He is testing you."
"Test me?" Lord Yingyue crossed her arms, "What are you testing me for?"
At least it aroused his interest, and Dai Luan decided to seize this hard-won right to speak. She continued:
"Kill the ghost girl first, or the Laughing Wolf, or neither. What that adult wants to know is how you should make judgments on these situations. Out of the priority of the mission, you came to arrest him in accordance with the regulations... ..." It's because you are still afraid of Yama Demon in your heart, but Dai Luan didn't say, "This is out of rational considerations. But out of love, he will be more willing to see you save the people of Li. When he feels that you If I have a 'human' side, I'll probably forgive you."
"What does he think? Favor? Forgiveness?" Yingyue Jun's voice became higher and higher, "It's so funny, who cares!"
Although he said this, Dai Luan was keenly aware that he was using a raised voice to cover up the trembling in his words. He actually cares a lot. So she continued.
"If you encounter any difficulties, I can help you...as long as you are willing to deal with the monsters in Wule City."
"You can still help me, pfft, how can you help me?" Yingyue Jun suddenly laughed, "I want to be free, I want the Demon Sealing Blade, and I want to unlock these shackles, can you help me?"
The demon-binding rope is indeed difficult to cut, not even Shui Wujun.
"If your freedom will lead to the loss of more lives, I may not be able to help you."
"Then I can't help you." He turned away angrily.
Dai Luan had a headache. She rarely negotiates with others. You have to know that when she was a child, she got what she wanted. She didn't grow up to be a hot-tempered young lady, thanks to Shan Haixian who came to visit her when she had nothing to do, supervise her studies, and tell her about the outside world. Yingyue Jun may have been let go when he was a child - his talent is a pass to any level. If what happened to his relatives was retribution... that would be true. Everyone should be responsible for what they did.
The same goes for Laughing Wolf.
She looked at the trees that bound him.
...He's gone.
All of Dai Luan's senses were sharpened in an instant. She noticed the wind behind her and immediately ducked to the side. As soon as she moved away, she felt a cold feeling in her ears, but then there was a hot burning sensation, which made her extremely painful.
She turned around and saw the Laughing Wolf holding the strange knife in one hand and looking at her through the cold mask.
So Dai Luan stretched out her hand and touched her ear. Even with the slightest touch, she immediately shivered in pain, and warm blood stained her hand. Her right ear was cut, but she didn't see any loss of flesh. It might have been saved, but she didn't know how big the wound was. She felt that her whole ear hurt. The blood was still coming out. She clasped her hands next to her ears, and more blood flowed down the roots of her hands and face, dripping to the ground.
"Don't point to the moon. There are monsters who cut off ears."
Damn it, don't be a crow's mouth.
There is a saying, and it was the same in Huansha City before. If she could save her right ear, she vowed to correct her habit of pointing at random things in the future.
After blocking several attacks with her sword, she clearly realized that she was no match for this man. Although Yingyue Jun noticed this, he has not done anything yet. No matter what, we shouldn't stay here any longer.
The Laughing Wolf knows that he doesn't live long and can't run very far, yet he still wants to support others. He is really a complete lunatic. Dai Luan ran down the mountain. The ground was very steep and she almost tripped. But soon, she saw a familiar figure on the road. Mu Wan held a dagger in his hand and stared blankly in her direction.
"Mu Wan! Are you okay?"
She looked at her and suddenly smiled, raising the knife at the same time.
