The tip of the scimitar suddenly touched Liu Shenghan's artery in the blink of an eye. Qi Huan only heard the sharp friction between the blade and the metal ring, and a cold light flashed. After coming back to his senses, Bai Ya no longer concealed the hostility in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"You can call me Liu Sheng..."
"You are not from the South."
"I'm not."
"What are you doing?" Qi Huan pushed Bai Ya's hand holding the knife away, but he immediately moved it back, "Miss Liu took us out of that deadly forest and treated Ao Yan. Why didn't you recognize that? Is it good or bad?"
The moment Jun Aoyan raised his head, he fell back. She was dizzy and couldn't bear the trouble anymore. She cast an inquiring look at Liu Shenghan, just confused, without too much vigilance. She also felt that this woman would never harm them.
"You always stare at our knives."
"You think everyone wants to take your knife!" Qi Huan scolded, "It's not an ordinary style. Why did you look twice?"
"That look is very different." Bai Ya didn't even look at him, but still stared at Liu Shenghan, "There was no curiosity or greed - it was the look of an insider. You probably know these knives. .”
Liu Shenghan was still unhurried. She put one arm on the table beside the bed, raised her face, and said calmly:
"Young Master Bai said before that I was a witch doctor, which was correct; he said that I was not a local, and his guess was quite accurate. I probably came here...many years ago, I don't remember the exact year. At that time, I He was the military doctor on the ship, traveling with several generals. That year, it was Taishi Yue Bai Zhi and Zou Wuchang Shui Wujun who saw us off."
Aoyan suddenly grasped her hand tightly. Liu Shenghan patted her gently and continued:
"Of course I know that Mo Dao." Liu Shenghan stretched out his finger, turned away Bai Ya's knife, and pointed to the horse-cutting knife in his other hand, "After it was sent to the palace, I had seen it before. Those weapons were all very good and were produced under the supervision of Mr. Shuimu. Later, I heard that the longest and heaviest weapon was given to General Jun, so I chatted with him more on the boat. After a few words, I realized that it was now held by his daughter. Others laughed at me and said that this was already known to everyone. I was just sorry that I always sat in the pharmacy and didn't really hear what was going on outside. "
Bai Ya put down the knife, but didn't put it away. He still looked serious, looking at Liu Shenghan's honest face. He then asked:
"Where is Jun Luanjiu now?"
Jun Aoyan remained motionless. She was waiting, waiting for Liu Shenghan to give a definite answer. She needed hope so much, as if she would be cured by the good news and be able to get out of bed the next day. Liu Shenghan felt her expectation, but he smiled bitterly and shook his head apologetically.
"We were separated."
They all heard Jun Aoyan let out a weak sigh, with expected disappointment.
Qi Huan asked: "Have you ever encountered a shipwreck?"
"No... we landed safely. We landed at a different location on the island. We didn't touch Poseidon's territory, and we didn't encounter any violent storms. But not only that dense forest, there are many places in Jiutian Kingdom that have unimaginable growth that we have never seen before. Plants. When we first landed, we were all together, but it was not a dock, and we had no one to help us. Later, small accidents happened one after another, and there were fewer and fewer people in our team. It is more troublesome to expand, Jane In other words, the rest are either mad, dead, or surrendered to the gods of various locations."
"So General Jun is still alive?" Qi Huan asked for Jun Aoyan, with the same excitement in his tone.
"...Sorry, I didn't know. I left the team."
Bai Ya said coldly: "You left the team as a military doctor?"
"Please be more tolerant. We have stayed here longer than you have been lost, and the relationship between people does not have to be so rigid. After I came here, I didn't want to leave. There are many things here that attract me. "
"Where is this?" Qi Huan asked.
"The edge of Xiangji Kingdom."
"Xiangji Kingdom?" Qi Huan scratched his head, "Is it the one from Xiangji Buddha Kingdom?"
"Well, not really." Liu Shenghan bit his knuckles, "I think their name has this meaning, but it's far from the true Buddhist legend. After all, this is the place governed by the God of Fragrance, Xiangyin. The followers of the religion are spread all over the country...well, as far as my hometown is concerned, it is nothing more than three or four big cities connected together."
"The God of Fragrance Gandharva?"
Bai Ya asked casually. When he talked about Xiangji Buddha Kingdom, a person flashed in his mind - Qingyang Chukong Mu Yuejun. According to Shui Wujun, he was the original Six Paths Impermanence and was once an ascetic, so he might know all this very well. But he probably wasn't here, and they had nowhere to go to ask.
Liu Shenghan was slightly surprised: "Do you know? It's good, it saves me the time to explain."
Bai Ya didn't want to hear useless stories. Since she knew nothing about Jun Luanjiu's life and death, she simply asked something else, such as what he had always wanted to know.
"Do you know Mizumu-kun?"
"Of course I do."
"Then you should know about these scimitars."
"That's right. That was the only weapon he fought after he died."
"But I've never heard of you."
Liu Shenghan smiled. With his back to the window, his face against the light is elusive. They had only met not long ago, but there was a lingering sense of mystery surrounding this woman. Like layers of thick shadows, layers of heavy gauze, peeling off the cocoon, but unable to reveal the whole picture, I just feel that the fog is getting thicker.
"Before and after death, Liu Dao Wu Jian met all kinds of people. Everyone in the world knows them, so they don't remember every Jianghu person they pass by, right? We have only met each other and don't have much contact. He doesn’t need to introduce everyone he knows, isn’t that true?”
Bai Ya was almost convinced, but his doubts could not be dispelled. Her rhetoric was exquisite and flawless, without any doubtful flaws. Seeing that he was still looking so fierce, Qi Huan pulled him back and stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Miss Liu, I'm really sorry, this guy is so suspicious of others... You have to believe that we have no malicious intentions! It's just that he stayed in that crazy forest for too long, and this guy is prone to getting sick..."
"You have the disease."
"you shut up."
Liu Shenghan thought the two of them were interesting and laughed out loud. Even her smile was gloomy. Although it is not scary, it is still cold and cold. When the topic was no longer so dangerous, she started talking about Jun Aoyan's injury.
"Who prepared the medicine for Miss Jun all the way?"
"It's me." Qi Huan took a step forward.
"The medicine is good, but it's a pity that it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause..."
"There's no way, our supplies are really limited. But if you have any special method, you can give it a try."
"There is no way." Liu Shenghan said regretfully, "No matter what herbal medicine is, it is the same. It just stops the pain to a certain extent and for how long. If we want to cure it, we must trace it back to the source of her injury."
Qi Huan was in trouble.
"It was indeed captured by Yaksha. If you don't understand, we really have no choice. Now that we have finally escaped from that place, we don't want to go back. And we... also caused a lot of trouble for the villagers. disaster……"
Liu Shenghan nodded gently, his tone was calm and gentle.
"It's surprising that such a strange place has turned the world upside down for just three of you. They have never been kind to outsiders, because Yaksha couldn't protect the treasure of Poseidon... They feel like everyone wants to covet it. You guys You can rest assured that not all gods are so exclusive.”
When Poseidon's treasure was mentioned, they were stunned at the same time. Liu Shenghan guessed the effort that was so dazzling for a while. But to be honest, it was not difficult to guess anything with her eyes that seemed to see through everything.
"What exactly is that treasure..." Qi Huan asked tentatively, "What is the Poseidon?"
"Since you even know the name of the Incense God, you must have heard about the 'Heavenly Man'."
"Yes. I heard that as long as you are recognized by the other seven gods, you will be qualified to be promoted to heaven, enter the heaven, and practice immortality..."
Qi Huan wasn't sure whether Liu Shenghan believed it. When she talked about this, she was neither emotional nor scornful, just a bit unconcerned. She just asked calmly: "What do you think constitutes approval? Whoever approves must have evidence."
"You mean, like a stamp or something..."
"But Poseidon doesn't exist at all."
"It doesn't exist?" Bai Ya asked faster than Qi Huan.
"The source of the power of the gods is people's faith...If you don't believe it, it will naturally weaken and dissipate. The sea god didn't even have a form from the beginning. It was just people making up things out of thin air based on the scenes and weather on the sea to sound powerful. Those are all. Yaksha is also very cunning...I heard that Yaksha got some kind of treasure by accident, so he started to tell the villagers what to do."
I see. In this case, it makes sense.
"But if Poseidon doesn't exist, how can we prove it?"
"That's why I want treasure."
"Treasure? Seven treasures?"
"Of course. You can call it a treasure, or you can say it is a token... Do you know what is going on between the Xiangji Kingdom and its neighboring countries? The leader uses the sacred objects of the religion, also known as treasures, to send blessings. This is considered recognized. , the recognized people will leave and go to find new gods elsewhere. I have been fortunate enough to see that celebratory ceremony... To be honest, it did not leave any proven spiritual power. I dare not raise questions. , they always have their own explanations. There are also many travelers from the Nine Heavens Kingdom who have come and claimed what kind of recognition they have received. I don’t know how the leader sees it, just say it. But, they also have no spirit. The improvement in strength is just a mark on the body."
Bai Ya looked at her.
"Don't you have any doubts about the God of Fragrance? That's why you don't live in your own country. It turns out you don't want to be complicit."
"You are right. To be precise, I don't believe in any gods."
Bai Ya turned his face sideways, his expression becoming subtle. He thought for a while and then took back the knife.
Jun Aoyan was still on the bed. She was still in pain, and her body was shaking unconsciously. Liu Shenghan immediately patted her, turned around and lit a stick of incense on the table. The incense is light green in color and quickly emits a refreshing fragrance that is soothing.
"Let's talk about Miss Jun's injury... If I guess correctly, Poseidon's token is on you."
"..."
Bai Ya and Qi Huan looked at each other, wondering how she guessed it and didn't dare to say no or admit it. But perhaps the fact was written on their faces through their eye contact before. After a long while, Qi Huan said hesitantly:
"We... don't know how to use it."
"Oh, it's true." Liu Shenghan smiled again, "I was just trying to trick you, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right."
"W-what?"
"Because you are very strong." This was a true compliment. "Otherwise, you would not have been able to escape from those crazy monsters alive... So I guess you probably wiped them all out."
"It's not that..."
"But Yaksha can't be killed all. Haiyaksha of the Nine Heavens Kingdom was born from the depths of the sea... It's only very slowly that they think about transforming humans. By the way, I just found out. Miss Jun's injury told me so mine."
Qi Huan couldn't help but wipe his sweat - Bai Ya was right to be vigilant, he was a ruthless character. But if Ao Yan’s injury can be cured...
