When this visitor arrived, the tea on the table was still warm, probably not long after the previous wave of people left. She walked forward, and every step seemed to be thoughtful. Her pace could not be said to be rapid or steady. After walking through the corridor, past the display cabinets, and through the screen, she stood upright in front of the long table covered with brown velvet. The person behind the table was busy, so she knocked on the table.
The long black-haired head raised his head, looked at her with his dark golden eyes, then lowered his head again, with a smile in his tone:
"By coincidence, I just told the last wave of visitors, suggesting that they go to your hometown to find Xiao and ask them what they want to know. But I also said that Xiao may not be there anymore. Have you been back in the past few years?"
"……No."
"Then have you seen Master Lintian?"
"The mission requires it. I've met him a few times."
"Tsk. By the way, the bag of fruit tea you took away from me last time was very expensive."
"That was eight years ago."
"Seven years, four months and nine days ago."
"I brought a bead."
"Do you know what it feels like to have something alive burst out of your eye sockets?"
The visitor sighed.
"The egg was supposed to be dead last time. Your demonic power was too strong and you catalyzed it, making the dying insect queen come back to life. Maybe it was because the witch talisman was not soaked in water long enough. I don't think the old lady could count at that time. The appearance of Qingri... Its eggs are crystal clear, and they are used for divination in the local area. I thought it would be useful to you, so I spent a lot of money to buy it. Their tribe is very isolated, and there is no need to deceive people. Originally, this thing is not Rumor has it that because I am an impermanent person in the Six Paths, the clan leader showed me kindness. Although I didn’t expect that there would be people there who could recognize Huangquan Twelve Months.”
The Bai Skeleton Master stopped what he was doing.
"Why are you so serious today?"
"The beads were not brought to you. You have to look at them for me."
The Master of Hundred Bones stretched out a hand, and the visitor placed a bead in his palm. He could feel the coldness of the woman's fingertips, but the jewelry was very warm. He probably carried it close to his body all the way and was very concerned about it.
This golden-green gemstone is opaque and has a special light in the center. The owner of the skeleton took out a curved transparent mica piece and looked at the jewelry in front of a candle lamp. The side facing the light was yellow in color, while the other half was almost milky white. He put down the mica piece in his hand, pulled over another unlit candle, touched the wick lightly with his hand, and the flame ignited. Between the two candles, the line in the middle sometimes spreads and sometimes closes. He moved the things in his hands from the candlelight to the light source emanating elsewhere. The thickness and luster of the threads still changed in different ways, until he stopped in front of the visitor.
He moved the gem away and faced Lord Shuangyue's sad expression.
"Cat eyes, very pure."
"I know." She sighed several times, "This is something I got from...from that child."
"Xue Miyin?"
"You know her?"
"No, I heard it from the contractors, only once or twice. Not long after you left the Eclipse Palace last time, you helped a girl. She was thirteen or fourteen years old, and she has been following you ever since."
"...I don't follow them all the time, it's just common."
"Well, I don't understand. What's wrong with her?" Bai Skeleton Master pointed to the stool behind her again, "Sit down, I didn't ask you to stand."
Shuoyue-kun is indeed different from how she used to be. At least, less than eight years have not been enough for her to change. Not only was she worried, she was also very worried. She pulled up the chair behind her and sat on it. The umbrella tube hit the table leg, so she took it off and placed it on the table. She took a half-full cup of tea and drank it in one gulp.
"You're thirsty...forget it, no one has drank from that cup. What do you think happened to that girl?"
"She...hit me."
The expression of the Hundred Skeleton Master was very complicated. On the one hand, Lord Shuangyue was clearly a savior to that girl, and it was indeed rude of her to do so. On the other hand, the child should be in his...twenties by now, right? Since he has long been an adult who can distinguish right from wrong, there may be a hidden reason behind such drastic actions. But in fact, whether it is between parents and children, brothers and sisters, best friends, or lovers - as long as you get along with others, there will inevitably be friction and petty quarrels, and Master Bai does not think this is a big deal.
"She stabbed me in the throat with a dagger."
As he spoke, Lord Shuangyue touched his neck. For a moment, the Hundred Skeleton Master frowned and sat up straighter. He needs to reorganize his attitude to face this unusual "fighting".
"You said 'beat'?"
"She - she knew I wouldn't die so easily, so she was so cruel."
"It's come to this point, and you're still defending her?"
Shuoyuejun sighed.
"I watched her grow up. Just like... just like Lord Jiyue looks at Shanhai, and Shanhai looks at Aluan. Although she has not been with me for that long, I know who she is."
The Hundred Skeleton Master frowned, he didn't think this metaphor was very appropriate.
"Jiyue Lord will not point a knife at Master Lintian, and Master Lintian is even less likely to have murderous intentions towards his apprentice. They have lived a long life under each other's gaze, and you know this to this day. I don’t think there is any comparison between the examples. And...forget it, you better go on. Tell me, how did you know each other? "
"I found her in a deep valley in the mountains. I had just parted from you at that time. Do you still remember what we talked about at that time?"
"Of course. It was originally just for you to take a break from your busy schedule, drink tea and catch up on old times. I told you a lot of things I heard from the monsters. Lord Kutsutsuki..." He paused, "Hongxuan Changye, holding Fu Songfeng in his hand to stay The Six Paths Divine Weapon. One of them was a straight sword from the Hungry Ghost Path. He handed it over to the monsters and spread it, causing many disturbances. I told you all the big and small things, but you recognized it. Really, you need to take that knife back and not allow him to do whatever he wants with the things Fu Songfeng wants. I advise you to leave it alone. After all, I think it is within the scope of the Yama Demon's tacit approval. If you interfere, something will go wrong and It's unreasonable. You said at the time that the gentleman was too indulgent. Today the resentment caused waves among the monsters, and tomorrow it will involve humans."
"Yes. I felt at that time that if all this was really something that the Lord didn't care about, then even if I interfered, they would have no reason to reprimand me. So I went to track down the whereabouts of Resentment."
"Did you find out?"
"I found it...it took a while. The last owner of Resentment was a peacock spirit who was quite famous among monsters. I went to find him and even had a fight with him, but in the end I was told that Resentment had been bought by humans. Went. I heard that the buyer was a black businessman who had already entered the mountainous area ahead with the caravan. However, this demon bird was not a good person. He specialized in defrauding money under the guise of selling demon knives, and after the buyer left, he and his men Kill them and recover the knife. He also told me... In fact, just a few days ago, his men set up an ambush in the mountains and intercepted the buyer's caravan. He didn't want to cause too much trouble. Many people in the caravan He and his goods all fell into a deep valley. He even personally searched for it on the mountain with his men, but found nothing. He also advised me to give up, saying that there was no resentment around me anymore, and I was afraid that I would fall into a deep valley. I didn't believe in evil, so I chased ahead. The mountainous area——I happened to meet Hongxuan Changye."
"What did he do there?" Master Bai Skeleton looked confused, "It doesn't seem like a coincidence."
"He claimed that he was looking for resentment just like me. But I guess he just wanted to confirm the direction of the knife. In fact, he didn't care who had the knife. He knew that I wanted to steal it, so he started fighting with me. . We fought all the way from the mountainside to the deep valley... I know that even if hundreds of years have passed, he and I are still far apart. He is deliberately disgusting me, unable to pull out any tricks, and always has a backup plan. However, the dispute However, I found the knife in an inconspicuous stone crevice. He noticed it and fought with me. I summoned the Tengu to stop him, and finally got the resentment..."
The Hundred Skeleton Master was a little surprised. It should be said that Mr. Shuangyue has good eyesight and quick hands, and he is very lucky. Put it in a conspicuous place from the beginning, and go to grab it with open arms, but she really may not be able to win.
"However, after I succeeded, Lord Katsutsuki stopped making any moves, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to fight with me. He said that he was bored and was about to send the sword to Death Shadow Pavilion. I said that he and Satsuki I have a lot of connections with you, and the sword was passed around from left to right. He just laughed at me, saying that the things placed in the Death Shadow Pavilion would of course only be circulated according to needs, not according to his wishes. Besides, What kind of place is the Death Shadow Pavilion? I have never been there, so I naturally know the fairness in it. In the end... He is right. Even if I keep holding this knife, there is nothing I can do. Do I have to keep holding it like the Demon-Sealing Blade? Take it to the day when I am reduced to ashes? That day may never come."
"so you……"
"Well, I took the knife to the Shadow Pavilion. Lord Gaoyue thanked me and gave me a stone."
"Is this the cat's eye stone?"
"No, it's amber. Blue."
"Blue, blue -" Bai Skeleton Master suddenly became alert, "Is it a water bladder amber?"
"Yes... I guess you must know that it is one of the seven magic weapons. But I don't know why it was handed over to me... After all, the sword is not mine. Lord Gaoyue only said it was a thank you gift, and it has great magical powers. , maybe I will use it."
"It seems that the two of them really have no more plans than just keeping the knife. But they can't be careless."
"Yes, I know. I still have the amber in my hand, do you want to see it?"
"Well, no need...it's a coincidence that the group of people just now were also holding magical weapons, which were agates. It's really rare that two magical weapons appeared in the same place at the same time in such a short period of time."
"Really? What a coincidence. Like wandering people on the rivers and lakes, they rarely have the opportunity to meet. No... there should be three."
After saying that, Lord Shuangyue's eyes fell on the incense burner on his desk. The Hundred Skeleton Master nodded and said:
"That's right. That's why I don't dare to check other magic weapons, and even if I handle them, I still have concerns. Mr. Kannau warned us not to bring them together... The lessons learned back then were heavy enough. I heard that it concerns you. ancestor."
"Well... that amber is what he used back then. It was him and Kanna-kun, and Liu Hanxuejie. Kanna-kun took the opportunity to tell me all those trivial things. Even with Liang Yue Jun and General Muji... that's all. The first time we met Kanna-kun, he only regarded me as an ordinary person. Although he knew about my bloodline, he only regarded me as a drop in the ocean. He didn't take me seriously until I became the Six Paths Impermanence. He He also told me... At that time, he was more interested in the man named Tang He and gave him a good lesson for his ancestor."
"Haha, yes. You still remember that person."
"...Hmm. How could we forget. Shui Wujun and I - and Lan Wei Ming Lei, we will never forget."
