The man and woman were none other than Satsuki-kun's men.
Shui Wujun vaguely remembered that this magical blue amber was in the Death Shadow Pavilion. But the Pavilion Master himself... she had seen it. Although he is not someone who would be a headache to meet, he is also the type of person who is not easy to get along with, at least for her. Putting aside Gaoyue-kun himself, none of her confidants are cheap, so it’s better to have less connections with them.
The man's skin was pale and bloodless, and lined with brocade clothes, there were faint dark lines on it. Both of his forearms are covered with a special kind of soft armor, connected to one finger. There are faint scaly lines on his hands and face, but they are not obvious unless you look closely. He had long black hair tied up, the bangs on his right eye were slanted, and a dark green eyepatch covering one eye was sewn with intertwined thin white snakes. There were two moles on each of his eyes, and the exposed left eye had a weird coldness, like a dead person. He looks like a person who is too lazy to cause trouble, but also like a person who causes trouble.
The woman was about the same height as him. She also had black hair, long and thick, braided into a scorpion braid. She was dressed in dark purple clothes, which were quite thin, but they were piled up and scattered. They were barely clothes that could be worn in winter. Gold ornaments were fixed on the corners of her clothes, which were the same as her gold bracelets, hair accessories, earrings, rings, and necklaces. Style texture. The decorations are not heavy, small but numerous. There was a thin gold frame on the bridge of her nose, and blue vanilla tulle covered the lower half of her face. There is also a gold nose nail embedded in the left wing of the nose, and his appearance looks like a local and a foreigner. Her eyes were sharper, and there was an indescribable hostility in everything she looked at.
Both of them looked like they were easy to take care of.
After they picked a table and sat down, Shui Wujun had already left with Yin Huan. It can't be said that he is avoiding the plague god, but he is quite fast on his feet. The woman then said to the man:
"The one next to Mizunashi-sama seems to be..."
"It has nothing to do with us." He seemed not to want to discuss this.
He has more important things to do.
Xiao Zhiqiu stood beside him tremblingly, trying to force a smile.
"Two, two distinguished guests, what would you like to drink? We have the best Longjing, the latest..."
"Stone Flower."
"Purple bamboo shoots."
"Well……"
The waiter didn’t know who to listen to, so he still came up to them all. The two people facing each other looked at each other, and the man waved his hands, looking rather impatient.
"Listen to her. Come on."
"Okay, a pot of purple bamboo shoots..."
The waiter rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and left the man and woman with evil spirits. The woman checked the dirt under her nails, but the man was just in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's right here, nothing can go wrong. Will you question Lord Satsuki's words?"
Xie Yan must have felt annoyed, after all, the snake demon kept showing off his face the whole time. It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just a combination of anxiety and irritability. He must be worried about something, but he never said it. If he wasn't accompanied by this scorpion spirit whose mouth and tail were as poisonous, he might have been able to speak more. Although he himself is not a harmless thing.
"Don't let me get annoyed?"
"What are you bothering about?" She said angrily, "Sir, you don't have enough time to do this? You have to involve me, as if I have very few tasks and a lot of time."
"Half a pound of white-browed viper's saliva can't stop your mouth? I'm happy to pull you? If no one else is in Qinglize, would I still need you, a lion-mouthed succubus?"
"Hey, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, so good brothers can't reconcile themselves on their own?"
"Tsk. I have to admit that I can't defeat him alone. The sins this brother has done will never be reincarnated. After several years of reincarnation, he was reduced to the human being he hated the most. I don't know what he will do. I think. It's useless to say this, but there is always that kind of... annoying shadow on him." He smiled, and it was ugly, "No way, who asked me to owe him? You often discuss matters with outsiders, He's very articulate, and maybe he can be persuaded to leave without using force."
"It's difficult." Xie Yan turned the bracelet on his wrist, "He was born into a well-known wealthy family here, and the young master's temper is well known to everyone in the world. You heard it along the way. Teenage It's really difficult to handle the brat who has caused such a big disturbance. Didn't you say that he must be kidnapped and taken away? Now, I have prepared the poison. Whether I will give you the antidote or not depends on whether the young master cooperates."
"Humans...human beings are very troublesome." She Ji said quietly, "For thousands of years, their so-called feelings of family and country, virtues, etiquette, benevolence and righteousness have always been a difficult thing to deal with. The python god Maharaja back then was also considered to be attracted by this thing. I had to worry too much about it."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you can be considered its dependent. You must have produced the same high-quality spiritual beads as it in the spiritual field in the south. It's a pity that you cut them out before they were formed and gave them away. "
She Ji shook his head, disapproving.
"Even if we don't dig it out, we can't continue... Besides, it's not a gift, but an exchange of equal value. Without it, we can't fish out this dusty soul from the Six Paths."
"This has always been the rule of our Death Shadow Pavilion."
The implication is that the two of them were not rule-abiding people in the past. Lord Gaoyue was kind to them all, and that was why a group of monsters were so sincerely convinced. She Ji didn't have any opinion about this person. He didn't dislike human beings like his brother. But kindness, he felt, was not considered as such. At most, it was another level of transaction between him and the master of the Death Shadow Pavilion. To put it bluntly, it's a bit like the employment relationship between a new human and the pavilion master... based on transaction.
All the bottom lines that cannot be touched by the Lord of Naraku are called "laws of death" by Satsuki-kun, which are more ruthless and terrifying than the iron laws. These death laws cannot be offended. Any one of them will make She Ji and the others feel a real threat. Especially the art of death and life. As for this close friend, he also had an appointment with Lord Gaoyue beforehand, so he was willing to let others take care of him. What's more, during the hundreds of years he has been on duty, he has never felt boring. He believes in his heart that this is a good place, and there is nothing to regret about his original decision. But the most serious, important, and urgent agreement has always been a knot in his heart.
People cannot be resurrected after death, and neither can demons, but what Satsuki-kun promises is not a simple "resurrection". In order to circumvent the law of death, they need some roundabout ways. This is one of the focuses of the Shadow Pavilion over the years. Now, here is one of the methods. To put it bluntly, She Jiu knew that he and his reincarnated friends were like experimental subjects. It's just more decent than the one in Wu Yin's hand.
He didn't mind, he didn't mind anything.
At this time, the waiter came with tea. This teahouse is very formal. There is someone dedicated to pouring tea at each table, and there is a special process to follow. But the money is separate. If you don’t want it, you have to send the person away in the first place. This is the rule. This money has to be given, but not that much, to save some face for each other. All the money sent out has to be given to the shopkeeper, because if you don't earn it through your own skills, you won't get a share of the profits. There are rules like this in this area.
Xie Yan casually took off a ring, clasped it in the palm of the flowery woman who was about to pour tea, and then waved her away. The woman was very happy, bowed repeatedly and walked backwards. They know in their hearts that if it is a physical item, the value is not easy to calculate, and the shopkeeper usually acquiesces to them accepting it themselves. This gold was very pure, and she was naturally happy.
"I hope she won't try it with her teeth for a while." She Ji said words that seemed to be sympathetic without emotion.
"No way. I deal with poisons all day long, and jewelry made of other materials is easily corroded."
"I really don't understand. Whether it's a woman or a banshee, she always likes those shiny things."
"It's hard for me to understand you too..." Jie Yan spread one hand and picked up the tea cup with the other hand, "Working for a friend who has been there for so many years really reminds me of another impermanent ghost. Ah, he Has it already been..."
She Ji nodded and said nothing. Xie Yan continued:
"I think you are very qualified. That person has forgotten who the other person is, and you are the same. It's just that the person has changed and he doesn't remember you. Even so, you have never changed your mind. I don't know why. It’s not that I should admire you. Ah, speaking of Liang Yue, I vaguely remember that when I was still a human, I also defrauded the desolate skeleton, who was also a human, out of money."
After saying that, she let out a chuckle, like broken gold colliding with each other, and she didn't know what kind of mood she had in mind when she said this.
"You have a good memory, and everyone you have deceived will remember it."
"No. I forgot about it. The Pavilion Master told me later."
"Wait a minute..." She Ji raised her eyebrows slightly, and finally looked directly at Xie Yan. He noticed something, "Are you human?"
"Oh!" Jie Yan sat up straight, with a look of surprise as if he was being persecuted, "It hurts my feelings. You and I have worked together for many years, and the time we have known each other has long exceeded the time you spent with your brother, right? You actually You never know anything about me!”
"Don't do this...I never heard you say that."
"I was a human, not a scorpion." Xie Yan opened his fingers with one hand and pressed it on his chest exaggeratedly to prove that his words came from the heart, "It's true, didn't anyone else tell you? Hey, Did I really forget to tell you, but you all knew it by default? I don’t remember who I should have told you, but Satsuki-sama knows it anyway. I, like Satsuki-sama, was a real human being. I just experienced some It's the insignificant things that make it what it is today. Why, you don't have any grudges about this, do you?"
"Oh, that's not the case." She Ji leaned back indifferently, "I'm glad you might be able to help your brother."
"Hey - do you want your brother to be skinned and devoured? You are so cruel."
"...What have you experienced? Forget it, don't say it, I really dare. As long as he can regain his identity as a monster, I will not hesitate to be hated by him. The life span of human beings is too short and too fragile. Even if In this case, I have no confidence that he will become a monster in the next life. There are some things that if you do it early and settle down early, it will be a disaster that you cannot escape anyway. "
Xie Yan held his face with one hand and held the tea cup in the wrong way, as casually as he was holding a wine glass. I don't know if she wants to drink or if she is just having fun.
"Ah...then nothing will happen if you just follow what the adults say - probably. It doesn't matter me, him, or thousands of people of the same kind who were not monsters at the beginning - all of them do not need to experience death or transform into a ghost. Directly changing from human to monster form is the same name."
"...'Demon Transformation'."
She Ji held the teacup and muttered to himself.
