There was a woman who was a frequent visitor to the Eclipse Palace.
She was not in her thirties, probably soon. This age is definitely not old, but her hair is a special lead-gray color, like the part that turns white when people enter middle age. But she is not that gray, but has very uniform and layered gray, and her hair is long and dense, thickly layered together. She has a pure white jacket underneath, which she often wore in the past. At that time, she also wore a white shirt outside. Everyone said it looked too much like mourning clothes. She didn't seem like someone who cared about others, but since Shi Wuqi said so, she changed the outer ones to pure black ones. In the Central Plains, most people still wear pure white mourning clothes, but people in the Far East wear black mourning clothes. Coupled with her gloomy temperament, it's...
It also looks like mourning clothes, and it presses the left lapel.
She sat sideways on a chair, with the right half of her face neither sad nor happy. Her right eye was pure black, extremely black. It seemed as if it had no reaction to light, unable to absorb or release any color. It was like the dilated pupil of a dead person, and as lifeless as a dead person. If it hadn't blinked after a long time, people would have thought there was just an empty space.
Shi Wuqi looked at her, seemingly helpless. He sighed: "Oh. Thank you for telling me what's going on outside. In fact, I have already made the decision to leave the Eclipse Palace temporarily and go to the human world for a little investigation. I started to think about what I could slowly guess based on the bones of the dead. The truth behind the scenes came out, but you said that there are so many people now. I’m afraid I don’t have the time to observe other people’s lives one by one. I have to find the fastest way. And... there are also friends who need my help. "
The woman raised her head slightly, as if she still had something to say, but she did not open her mouth. Looking through Linlang's various ornaments and minerals, her eyes collided with Shi Wuqi's. Shi Wuqi's face had always been very young, and he even looked smaller than her.
"Your condition has worsened," Shi Wuqi continued, "it's more serious than the last time you came here."
The woman tucked her long, hanging hair behind her ears, revealing a complete face.
Anyone looking at the left side of her face would panic.
Starting from the eye sockets, something special spreads. It was a substance similar to crystal or ice. It condensed into a strange mask with her left eye as the center. Their texture is clear and their surface is irregular, but they completely cover the skin, and even make people suspect that they have replaced part of the original skin. The color displayed through it is not skin color or flesh, but the original slightly blue color of a glacier. The upper edge of it almost touches the hair roots, and the lower edge covers the cheekbones. Even her eyes were a unique ice blue color, whitish. Are those her frozen eyes? Even if it could still move, no one would be able to see it no matter which direction it turned. It didn't have a black pupil similar to the one on the left. Or is it also covered by the unknown crystal, so it can't blink?
"It seems to have spread," the woman said. "It was just a brush over the eyebrows before."
Her voice is very ordinary, with the stability of a mature woman, but also a bit lazy. It was as if the abnormality she described was just what happened to others and had nothing to do with her. She was probably a very indifferent person, and she didn't even care about herself.
"If I don't let you practice this kind of martial arts again, you won't listen. It's strange to say that I only receive ghosts and ghosts on weekdays, and the six paths are impermanent. You are the first human being to come and go as frequently as you do. But you will have a period in the future. When time passes and I am not here, this illusion will temporarily dissipate, and the roads leading here in the past will also be closed."
"Maybe one day, you think I will become a monster too."
Shi Wuqi did not refute. At this rate, it's not impossible. Although the occurrence of demon transformation is not that common, the world is not peaceful recently. She has been a martial arts fanatic since she was a child. She has no interest in kicking shuttlecock, jumping rubber bands or being a female celebrity, and she only focuses on practicing martial arts. Among women, such people are rare. Her family runs a martial arts gym, but they don't pay much attention to her interests. After all, they are more traditional and believe that only men can inherit such family businesses. Regardless of this, she still practiced everything and beat anyone who forced her to do "what a girl should do". There was no other way, and her family couldn't resist her, so they just let her go.
As she grows, every drill, every sparring session, the people around her will be extremely dangerous. There were too many accidents during the trial, and countless people were injured. The most serious incident occurred on the day she came of age, when she accidentally beat someone who was kicking the gym to death. The people who kicked the club were colleagues and had official backgrounds behind them, especially the ones who were beaten to death were people with status. He was originally just following along to show off his power, but who knew that he was weak and underestimated a woman, so he would die immediately after being punched and kicked like this?
The government officials and several colleagues jumped out and told her father, "You have to give everyone an explanation." Although many people saw it, how strong can a woman be? You must hand over your son, one life for a life. Although she has always been indifferent, she also knows that this matter has nothing to do with her father and brother. She admitted it and said that she did it. If you don't believe it, feel free to compete with her. This incident caused such a big fuss that people from hundreds of miles away came to watch the fun. As a result, the competition ground became bloody again, and the blood and flesh flying all over the sky made everyone frightened by the power of this teenage woman. In the end, in order to give everyone an explanation, her father abolished her martial arts and kicked her out of the house. Some people say that it was her brother who complained about her in private, and the family did this to clear the relationship; others said that it was her parents who wanted to protect her and asked her to hide away to avoid revenge. No matter what the facts were, no matter what her family thought, she actually didn't care. Anyway, since then, she has completely cut off contact with her family.
Everything started when she accidentally got the magic weapon.
As the saying goes, if you don't break it, you won't build it. Break it first and then build it. Although his martial arts skills were disabled, he was not picky and could still find ways to practice. Enthusiasm for something can give people the strength to overcome obstacles and gradually achieve their goals. As the saying goes, God rewards hard work. Perhaps God had the foresight to let the Demon-Conquering Pestle, one of the seven magical weapons, fall into her hands. This is what Shi Wuqi told her later: Those who get the Demonic Pestle can indeed use the most appropriate moves at the most critical moment, just like the unparalleled martial arts, even if they are ignorant of martial arts. Of course, people's physiques are also different and cannot be generalized. If the body is too weak, it is possible to be defeated. After all, such physical fitness cannot bear the power of the demon pestle. And another point: all the peerless masters who have used the Demonic Pestle will have their own martial arts decrypted and mastered by the Demonic Pestle one by one. The next person can also master what you have learned throughout your life. It's one of those treasures that either he doesn't want to get, or if he gets it, he can't let it go to him. Although those special moves and routines will only be activated when using it, there are always smart people who will think about it in private. There are also people who are confident enough that they firmly believe that their original martial arts will not be understood by others. Indeed, most people who have obtained the Demonic Pestle have also said that they can indeed feel some martial arts, which they may not be able to understand in their lifetime.
And she has always been a woman with strong understanding. The moment she got the Demonic Pestle, all the unparalleled martial arts skills of those unrivaled martial artists were deciphered by her. Even after she left the Demonic Pestle, those things were deeply engraved in her mind. It's like her body is extremely keen on martial arts and will deliberately remember it for herself. Those moves have become conditioned reflexes engraved in her bones, making her invincible. Now that you have learned things, you should put them into practice and let them be confirmed. What's more, there is a kind of martial arts that she can detect but cannot understand for the moment. She wants to force herself to master it as soon as possible. She went around looking for people for advice and discussion. Although she never held the Demon-Conquering Pestle in her hand, she still caused many disciples from famous families and sects to suffer blood loss. Naturally, her reputation won't get much better after this. Let alone competing with her, even people walking near her on the street would speed up their pace. Either for revenge or to question the conspiracy, she was also accused of many bad charges. The most common theory was that she was a killer sent by the Zuoji sect, just to kill people and destroy the venue. Even in the end, someone from Zuojimen actually came to her. And when people saw the left fold of her clothes, they were even more frightened and fled in all directions.
Everything doesn't matter to her. In her eyes, people's life and death are like the rising sun and the setting moon. It can no longer be normal. She is just pursuing the ultimate in martial arts! So simple - that's what she had always thought. No matter how bloody the scene was, in her eyes it was just an inevitable outcome. While exploring, she gradually discovered that the martial arts that she could detect but could not penetrate deeply required her to practice cold nature energy. So she took the magic pestle and did it. As a result, the understanding of martial arts advanced at an unusually slow speed, but this special crystal on his face gradually expanded and grew day by day.
"It is inevitable to understand this kind of martial arts. It is almost impossible for ordinary people... You are already an exception."
When Shi Wuqi saw her, he said this. He knew very well that this was the martial arts practiced by the previous Shuangyue Lord, and ordinary people simply could not bear this kind of influence. I'm afraid that after practicing, this woman will turn into an ice sculpture. He still doesn't know the connection between the two, but what is certain is that there must be a reason why the woman can understand and even gradually penetrate the former Shuoyue Lord's skills.
He informed the woman about this and allowed her to go to and from the Eclipse Palace. If left alone, and one day she really realizes something extraordinary, will she still be human? Now that he has to leave the Eclipse Palace temporarily, he can't see her often and understand her situation. Now, the two of them were sitting across a table, facing each other. After a long time, Shi Wuqi opened his mouth and said:
"I can't let go of your business either. But I have already inquired about it. You can take your magic weapon to a place called Suiyun Mountain. It is not a mountain, but a mountain. There are many mountains, although they are not high. However, due to the climate and terrain, there is snow all year round. In one of them, there is a place called Tianquanyan. Although it is cold and freezing, it is a pool of living water. No one knows where it comes from and how it melts. , and how to accumulate it there. In fact, it is due to the special spiritual field there, but people therefore believed that the spring water came from the sky, and gave it this name. The environment there is suitable for your cultivation, and it will not hurt others, but it can also weaken the impact on people. own harm.”
The woman nodded. She stood up and bowed deeply to him. Lord Bai Skeleton is a rare good person, and also a rare person who can really help her. She would follow his advice and go to that magical place to continue her enlightenment.
And her ambitions don't stop there.
