"Of course." Liu Wu suddenly smiled, with just the right amount of malice, "otherwise, how could the innocent Lord Garuda, the divine bird, end up like this?"
"..."
Lingge's eyelids twitched and he gritted his teeth.
As if nothing happened, Lianwu continued in a flat tone:
"However, they will definitely lose their manpower and their morale. According to the behavior of these people and their temperament, the magic weapons must have been handed over to the living people. When the time comes, as long as there is an oriole behind, they can Catch all the magic weapons of the gods in one go. Ah, don’t worry, I will lend you the glass heart first.”
"I didn't want to win his heart in this way. That was his decision - even if he decided to give his heart to the enemy, I should respect your decision."
After Ling Ge finished speaking, he tightened the corners of his lips, as if he was locking up countless unwillingness, resentment, and resentment and pressing them back into his belly.
"This has no conflict with your desire to kill those people. You have not violated the wishes of the Bird God. The rest is just... After the matter is completed, I will help you." Luowu's voice changed. He was gloomy, and the limb joints on his back slowly opened. He lowered his voice and kept it secret, "Although you and I are not sure about the art of death and life. But at least, you will definitely not be afraid of violating any taboos and letting the person from the underworld come to your door. Bar?"
He said the words "the art of life and death" very lightly and clearly. Luwu gently blew these words and the thoughts they contained to the bird that had lost its companion and was alone, just like a spider sending out its silk thread in the wind.
He knew he would hear a satisfactory answer. Listen, Kalingbinga spoke. Her singing must be a curse to humans and a blessing to monsters.
"I'm not afraid of anything. If I can...as long as I can, I'll pay any price."
"Okay." Lu Wu narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance, "With your awareness, I feel at ease."
Until the dawn came, Shiyue Mountain was still dead silent.
The dust that covered the sky and the sun has not subsided, so everything is cast in a light gray color. Compared to this long and narrow natural barrier, what was destroyed by the Tengu was just a small gap. Under this gap, the small figure of human beings is almost invisible. Those weaker sounds were also hidden by the dust in the air.
"Qi Huan!"
"Qi——gong——zi——"
No one can hear their cries.
On the other side of the mountain, the three people who had narrowly escaped death were wandering around in front of the dilapidated mountain, trying to find any sign of life. But it was too difficult. Their hands all had varying degrees of peeling. If you keep digging like this, you will dig out flesh and blood.
"Can, can this be done..." Jun Aoyan tried to think of another way, "I'll slit my wrist and let Shenghan use my blood to clear away the ruins and find a way to find him."
Bai Ya refused on behalf of Shenghan: "No. Such a big movement must be crushed by him. Besides, if the Tengu is dug out to cause harm to the world, who will be responsible for this!"
"Is this what we're looking for?"
Jun Aoyan spread his hands and asked reluctantly. Bai Ya didn't say anything, just digging at the gravel. Although he knew in his heart that these actions were in vain and meaningless.
"You're bleeding..." Liu Shenghan wanted to hold him back, "Stop...you're already injured."
"……I know."
He didn't pause and continued to move away, repetitive, boring, and tireless.
Originally the girls were still helping, but when they came to their senses and realized that this was impossible, they all calmly stopped. Since Qi Huan claimed that he had a way, they should believe him. But what if he actually has nothing to do? What if he just found an excuse to get rid of them and put himself to death?
But what are the "demon marks" on his hands?
"Young Master Bai." Liu Shenghan continued to persuade him with good words, "Master Qi has saved himself from danger many times. He must have his own abilities and considerations. It's not an option for us to just waste time here. Seeing that the deadline is approaching, if we don't go back, I'm afraid We must live up to Mr. Qi's original intention. After we go to Gechen State and the Queen Mother to recover, let them send people to look for him."
"Return to life?"
Bai Ya suddenly stopped what he was doing, turned around suddenly, and stared at Liu Shenghan. There were many bloodshot eyes in his eyes, not just because he hadn't slept all night.
"I have seen the person they are looking for! These eyes, I saw it with my own eyes! Dead! Died tragically, dead, gone. The badge is gone, the body is gone, how can we prove it? What proof can we use?! Return to life?"
After he said his last words, it was terribly quiet. Liu Shenghan faced him face to face and said nothing. Jun Aoyan was standing nearby, feeling embarrassed and unable to interrupt. Of course she understands Bai Ya's mood, they all understand.
Liu Sheng was cold and extremely quiet: "Even if you say this to me, it won't do any good."
"You are often so cold and indifferent that I can't understand."
"Same for you." Haha Literature Network
"You, what are you talking about?" Jun Aoyan felt something was wrong and rushed to pull the two of them away, "Do you know what you are talking about? Now is the time for internal strife? Aren't we all worried about our brothers? ?"
Bai Ya's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something. But in the end, he just shook off Jun Aoyan's hand, turned around and left. He gave up - because he actually knew better than anyone else that this was a slim hope; because he also knew in his heart that the three-month deadline was approaching; because he clearly came here for his father in the beginning, and he had to pick up that bullshit. Xiangshen's next mission.
Because he can't help it.
Turning around is not just a matter of courage.
The diffuse dust will eventually settle down, and the sun and moonlight will shine here, in every ravine and every shadow. New life will grow, and trickles will follow the terrain and fill the place again. The circuitous lingering of wind and spiritual power will eventually restore it to fertility, and the closed ridge will connect the two sides of the chasm.
Who will spread the light to places where it cannot shine.
They came to Gechen Kingdom earlier than expected and brought them the news about the Prince Consort. It should be winter, but the climate in Jiutian Kingdom is hot and humid all year round, and there may not be a single snowfall all year round. However, the people in the palace did wear thicker clothes. Even the little queen's shawl had a ring of white fluff, which made her look warm.
"Why do you feel more tired than the last time we met? Is it because you didn't rest?"
Queen Qiu Weiyu blinked her eyes and tilted her head to look at them from the throne. Compared to before, she was much more relaxed. But her young, unchanged face made them feel confused. They seemed to have been apart for a long time, but seeing the unchanged majesty and the unchanged gentle music made them feel that time had only passed by less than a hundred days.
But they are really tired.
"Where's that brother?" His Majesty asked, "The one who gave me gifts? My bird is still there, but the snake doesn't seem to move. The Queen Mother said it was short of water and asked me to take a dip. I seemed to have soaked it for too long. It's rotten, and it refuses to move, and even the sound becomes strange. I want him to help me repair it."
Bai Ya glanced at the other empty seat next to the Queen and took a deep breath.
"He's looking for a new gift for you, so let's come back first."
"Really?" Qiu Weiyu was very happy, "What could that be?"
"He didn't tell us, he said it was a secret." Then, Bai Ya immediately got to the point, "Where is your queen mother? How is her health recently? We want to see her."
"She is sleeping." His Majesty Weiyu frowned, "The Queen Mother has slept for a long time. She has not woken up since the Imperial Preceptor left the palace. However, the Imperial Preceptor said that when she comes back, she will Will wake up."
"The Imperial Master...isn't here?" The three of them were a little surprised, and they looked at each other.
Liu Shenghan asked: "In other words, you are in charge of the current situation of Ge Shen State?"
"Aren't you looking down on me?"
"Well, that's not what I meant..."
"It doesn't matter, it's not this time." His Majesty tilted his head, "Every once in a while, the Imperial Preceptor will personally go to a neighboring country to get medicine. She has a close relationship with Lord Xiang Shen, and many of the medicines the Queen Mother needs I was also matched with him. Generally speaking, she will come back in seven days, and the queen will accompany me. But this time she will be gone for a long time, it is said to take half a month. The queen happened to sleep for a few days, and I was worried that she would not wake up. The master then lit a kind of incense candle, saying it could calm her soul and protect her soul. Wait until she comes back to get the medicine."
"Cense candle?"
They were silent for a while, thinking about the message in this passage. Then, Liu Shenghan continued to ask: "Does the God of Song always go to neighboring countries?"
"Sometimes she goes to pick it up in person, and sometimes Lord Xiang Shen sends someone to deliver it."
"That incense candle... what is it? Can we go see your mother?" Jun Aoyan was as concerned as Bai Ya.
"B-But the Imperial Master said..."
"Believe us." Jun Aoyan said sternly, "Shenghan is a pharmacist that even Lord Xiang Shen is optimistic about, and even he wants to keep her. Since Xiang Shen and Song God are such close friends, she will definitely be able to help I'm busy. We really want to help you and the Queen Mother, so we are so anxious to help."
Bai Ya understood and followed suit: "There is no need to take medicine or check the pulse, just take a look and confirm the condition of the Queen Mother. You are now the head of a country..."
No one can bind you.
Although Qiu Weiyu is young, he can hear the hidden meaning of these words. She looked at the nominated Liu Shenghan, her expression was still so gentle and humble. Although she doesn't talk much, and when she does speak, she is cold and quiet, but even in court, the more such a person is, the more useful her ideas and words will be.
"Yeah...that's right!"
Children are still easy to coax. So the time was set, and after dinner today, they could go to the harem. However, only Liu Shenghan could enter the Queen Mother's palace, and the rest had to wait outside. Although Your Majesty is young, she is quite smart. She must have been well-taught by her mother.
The music in the palace seemed a bit monotonous, which was different from before. Although the number of people playing has not decreased, it is just the same piece of music that comes back and forth. It is not at all like it was in the past. It has a plot-like succession and turns, and it conforms to what really happened. Maybe it's because the singer Kinnara is not here, so I just play it perfunctory. After all, His Majesty himself doesn't seem to care about this.
And it would be too cruel for such a child to know what happened to his biological father... The three of them knew very well that this kind of thing could only be said in front of the Queen Mother, and it was best not to have the Imperial Master present. Who knows what kind of singer she is.
I don't know if Shenghan can wake her up.
