After sending away the last guest, Shi Wuqi began to pack his things. He waved his hand, and the ornaments arranged on the table automatically returned to their original places in their proper order. With another snap of his fingers, most of the lights in the hall were extinguished, leaving only the nearest candlesticks. The room suddenly became dark. Eclipse Tower is not a realm of eternal night, but the sky always stays before dawn or twilight, whether it is bright or dark. If there are birds flying across the sky, you can also see the light in the fantasy realm gradually dimming, and the extinguished lights are like the beach at low tide. He walked around the table and poured a cup of tea under the dim light. The tea was already cold, but the tea poured out of his hand was still steaming. He poured two glasses, then left the table holding the mouth of the glasses, and walked around behind the screen on the side of the long table.
There are a few chairs there, arranged more casually. On the sandalwood chair with a backrest, a woman was leaning against him at some point. Her appearance is extremely beautiful, and her luxurious clothes are like pieces cut out of a sea of luxuriant flowers. They are one of the best even in the wardrobes of concubines in the harem. The fabrics and workmanship are simply not like mortal creations. Shi Wuqi didn't show any surprise, he handed the cup over naturally.
The woman took the teacup, holding it in one hand and covering it with the other. She was a little surprised, raised her eyebrows and said:
"When did you find out?"
"Eavesdropping is not a good habit."
Shi Wuqi shrugged and took a sip of tea. The visitor also put the tea cup to his mouth and said:
"If you hadn't gone out of business, she probably wouldn't have gone to Tianquan." She said with a smile, "She likes you, and she doesn't even know it."
"What nonsense? I didn't expect that you, Yingyue-kun, can not only interpret dreams, but also calculate marriages."
Shi Wuqi was not annoyed, he just replied with a smile. In just one sip of tea, Yingyue Jun's face transformed into another beauty. She also smiled and said:
"Women understand women best. Moreover, love in this world is not limited to love. Where do you think you are? You are so narcissistic."
"Okay, okay, everything you said is right." Shi Wuqi really thought it was funny, so he continued, "But I still have to thank you. If you hadn't recommended Tianquan Eye, I really wouldn't have known what her illness should be. What to do.”
"Hmm. It's probably like fighting fire with fire. The climate and environment there are suitable for her to practice this kind of kung fu. Gu Jia Qianlong's original martial arts is really not something that everyone can stand. By the way, have I told you, that woman Is this his reincarnation? I don’t know exactly which reincarnation it is.”
Shi Wuqi paused briefly with the hand holding the cup, frowned slightly, and the smile disappeared from his face. It is true that Yingyue Jun never told him. Maybe she thought she had told him, but in fact she had not.
"...This makes sense. No wonder, when others got the Demon-Conquering Pestle, they didn't decipher or even ignored it, the thing left by the previous Lord Shuangyue. Only her soul can best match this thing. Feel the resonance..."
"They are quite similar."
"It's very similar to..."
"I'm afraid I'm going to go back to the same old path."
"I'm afraid that's not what she hoped for in her previous life," Shi Wuqi sighed slightly, "Wouldn't this run counter to his purpose of reincarnation? If such a thing really happened, it would be too ironic, and the drama would not dare to act like this. .”
"Who can say for sure?"
In just a few words, Yingyue Jun changed his face again. Although she looks beautiful, every face can be deeply imprinted in people's minds. But to truly remember her appearance is definitely not something ordinary people can do. What's more, in addition to the beautiful faces that were really burned back then, she can also take possession of the faces of the people in the paintings drawn by many famous people. It is said that in the early years, she wanted to play tricks on people when she was bored. She would deliberately laugh on the paper she was working on, which frightened many painters. But now she rarely does these things.
"You look much better now. What, could it be that you always quarreled with yourself in the past and didn't know who would come forward?"
"Stop making fun of me." Yingyue Jun suddenly sighed, "Stop talking about this. I did always use the same face in the past, but for some reason, they won't recognize me the next time we meet! I guess Unknowingly, my appearance slowly changed into another similar face, one after another. Several times, after they finally accepted this situation, they would recognize the wrong person and greet the passer-by in their dreams. This is terrible. It's really bad. I might as well deliberately change things in front of humans, so I won't get confused. Fortunately, I'm in a dream, so I won't get into any other trouble. If someone wants to impersonate me in the real world, , the trouble is big. That being said... I can be lazy on weekdays and don't have to be as busy as other colleagues. I often travel to various people's dreams, and only here can I rest and drink for a long time. A cup of delicious tea.”
"You're welcome at any time, but it's not possible recently. You know the reason." Shi Wuqi said seriously, "So what are you doing here today? Isn't it just to eavesdrop on my chat with the visitors?"
"Yes, I'm quite busy. I've been busy with a girl's affairs recently. Well, what am I going to do...well, it seems to be something very important."
Yingyue Jun scratched his head, as if he couldn't remember it for a moment. Shi Wuqi knew the reason: although she had many beautiful skins, she only had one imaginary head. It took her a long time to get everyone to reach a consensus, and the fused thoughts continued to struggle and compromise. This part alone occupied a large part of her mind, so she always couldn't remember important things. However, it won't take long for her to remember, just give her more time.
"Ah! I thought of it. Have you seen a fire fox before? A red fox has a golden fox brother. It may be a little late to tell now, but I collected information from many dreams and found out something remarkable. thing!"
"Is...what happened?"
"His brother, if his name is Wenjiu, then he is indeed hiding. And the bad thing is that he is with the lie."
"Lies?" Shi Wuqi reacted, "You mean... evil messenger?"
Those who lie have an impure heart, want to deceive others, cover up the truth, utter different words, and create verbal karma. This is called lying.
"Yes? Who else could it be? He has a few fragments of wish-fulfilling beads on his body, which is really troublesome. I wonder if the golden fox is with him, will it lead to bad things?" There are too many lies. It will come true' is originally a common saying, but for lies, it is really not impossible to happen. It's a pity that I can't be sure where they are, otherwise I would tell you."
Halfway through what she said, Shi Wuqi had no intention of listening anymore. He glanced at the screen. On the table where his sight passed through the screen, there was a small wooden box. Among the many treasures stored in that box was a fragment of the Ruyi Pearl. Yingyuejun tilted her head and looked at him, then suddenly recalled something and said:
"Oh, I forgot. Has he come to see you before?"
"...Yes. But he was not an evil angel at that time. Or, I didn't recognize it...he was already a monster."
"That man is full of shameless lies. Don't even think you were deceived by him, right? He has told too many lies in his life, made too many false testimonies, is good at slander and slander, and makes people unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Nowadays, in the world, Whenever this kind of thing happens, his power becomes stronger. If the little fox trusts him gullibly, won't he be exploited? Alas, although this is your business, because of our deep friendship , I will tell his brother if I have a chance."
"Thank you..."
Shi Wuqi could no longer laugh. It wasn't just because of the matter between him and the lie, although he really couldn't tell the difference last time. This world is really dangerous, with waves rising again and again. Now I don’t know how many evil spirits have appeared. After all, there are too many people in the world. In the era when he lived, the world was not so lively. Once the base of anything increases, it is easy to produce some extreme rights and wrongs. Just like an orchard, the larger the area and the more trees there are, the more bad fruits there will be and they are more susceptible to diseases. Once a tree becomes infected, a large area of the tree becomes infected.
Speaking of illness…
"By the way," he asked Mr. Yingyue, "since you came to eavesdrop so early, you should know what the woman told me, right? You are also going back and forth in various fantasy dreams, so you should know that what happened in Death Shadow Pavilion is What a good thing you did."
"Ah, that's right. Are you talking about the snake demon raising a human child?"
"This is all nonsense...forget it. I mean the plague, the kind of disease that makes the dead attack the living."
"Indeed!" Mr. Yingyue nodded vigorously, "It was them who caused the trouble! But it seemed to be unintentional at first. It was just that the people there used a lot of living people for experiments. Then, there was a corpse pool in that area. It disrupted the local spiritual veins and caused part of the path to be broken and scattered. Many people escaped and spread the strange disease through the spiritual veins extending in all directions."
"Don't you care, Satsuki-kun?"
"She makes mistakes, as if she has other plans. Are you going to visit her?"
"...Let's talk about it, I need to know the situation first."
Shi Wuqi secretly thought that his "old friends" must all know about this, and no one would sit idly by. He, too, must act. Thinking of this, he took the tea cup that Yingyue Jun drank and walked around the screen, putting the two empty cups aside. Then he opened the small wooden box, selected a few beads, and rummaged through the boxes elsewhere, looking for something. Yingyue Jun came out and looked at the silver incense burner on the table. There was still smoke coming from the stove, but it was much thinner than before, and the smoke was probably almost gone.
"Ah, let me tell you one more thing."
"That's what you say."
Shi Wuqi was busy packing his things and had no time to chat with her face to face. Yingyue Jun seemed to be at ease, not in any hurry. She said calmly:
"Your luck with women is really good today."
"Oh. Don't scare me anymore. I can't stand your jokes."
Shi Wuqi paused briefly, then continued working. Although the room was dark, he knew every corner of it. Yingyuejun just said:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Well, trouble has already come to your door, don't you feel it?"
After she finished speaking, Shi Wuqi straightened up and looked in Yingyue Jun's direction, but there was no one where she was standing. She was already gone, and at this speed... it was like running away compared to before. He vaguely felt that something was wrong, so he temporarily stuffed the things in his hands into the cabinet in front of him, closed the cabinet door, and then looked at the door. He frowned and finally understood the meaning of Yingyue Jun's words.
With a wave of his hand, the door slammed shut. But at this moment, the door collapsed completely towards the inside due to unknown force. Both doors were not damaged, but they were completely dismantled and spread on the marble floor of the hall, making a loud "snap" sound that was deafening.
Two uninvited guests stood at the door, one on the left and one on the right, a man and a woman.
He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, today is really lively - just when he is about to leave.
