The two of them hadn't been talking for long when someone else suddenly came over. They looked up and found it was Long Miao. Shi Wuqi looked towards the door again and found Kong Lingbei and Mao Yuejun walking in side by side. Lord Shuangyue stood up to greet him, but Shi Wuqi was more casual. After the two people took their seats, he said:
"It came very quickly. We haven't even had a conversation yet."
Uoyue Jun replied with a smile: "The two of us are just communicating about the current situation. There are no valuable clues, and naturally we can't talk for long. I guess you also have private things to talk about, so we can just stand outside with him and finish it in a few sentences."
Lord Shuangyue said quickly: "It's nothing important."
Kong Lingbei sat next to Mao Yuejun, but Long Miao took a turn and sat on Shuangyue Jun's side. She glanced at him with some confusion. Before she could speak, Long Miao answered her doubts in advance:
"That guy probably doesn't want me to get too close. It doesn't matter, I think so too."
"...Although I don't know the specific reason, I can understand you to a certain extent."
The two agreed in a strange way.
The cat's eye stone was still in Shi Wuqi's hand, for Lord Maoyue to see. She looked closer and saw that Shi Wuqi didn't shy away from him, but just glanced at Lord Shuangyue. Mr. Shuangyue shook his head and said he didn't care. She has always regarded Lord Uoyue as her own.
"This is..." Uoyuki-kun thought for a moment, "Is this something left by that child?"
The identity of the person speaking was self-evident. Lord Shuangyue nodded yes and told her that she could take it for a look. So Shi Wuqi handed the cat's eye stone to her, and Mao Yuejun took it with both hands and weighed it gently.
"The quality and size of this piece are both of the highest quality and can be directly used as tribute to the emperor."
"Hmm. It's said to be the heirloom of Xue Yatou's friend. It seems to come from a prince's family. Ordinary people can't even see such a treasure, let alone hold it in their hands. However, in the hands of poor people, this thing It has a price but no market. No one will believe that ordinary people can get such things. Even if they do meet someone who knows something, they will only be deceived and fooled."
"So we can only pass it down, which is probably a helpless move." Long Miao said.
"Her friend wasn't lying, it was all true."
As he spoke, Lord Uoyue held it with three fingers and stared at it quietly. Her serious expression was like she was having a conversation with the gem. Long Miao knew that perhaps she was really examining its life experience in some way. Then, she handed the gem back to Shi Wuqi's hand, took a deep breath, and whispered:
"Perhaps...it can reveal something important. If you want to find it, you can find it."
When speaking, she looked into Lord Shuangyue's eyes, and Lord Shuangyue didn't know what to say. She thought for a while and just answered like this:
"It's not time yet. I have... more important work."
"It won't take long," Lord Uoyue comforted her and said, "Everything should have a plan in your heart. If you just hide it and use business as an excuse, when you really want to deal with it, you will be unable to do anything. .Although the information you know now may not be accurate and may change over time. But similarly, as long as you have a firm mind, you can slowly and inadvertently come up with a decent plan. Anything You have to have a framework in your mind, draw the outline, and then fill it inward brick by brick. People often say that you can’t become fat by eating in one go. This is the truth. Now, it’s rare for us to come together. Do you want to seize the opportunity? This opportunity is yours to decide."
Lord Shuangyue sighed: "Why is it exactly the same as Wu Qi... I didn't say what I wanted to escape from, just——"
"Just something important to do?" Kong Lingbei, who had been watching, suddenly spoke again, "Please, isn't this an escape? Let's find out first, how long can I take you? You don't want to feel any psychological pressure, But don't be overwhelmed when it's time to deal with the problem. If you have time to talk, the good or bad future has already been divulged, so stop whining. You are not only wasting a person's time, but also not caring. Your face. In the end, you didn’t do what you were supposed to do, and your own affairs were delayed. The gain outweighs the loss!"
Although what the peacock demon said was unpleasant, Lord Shuangyue knew very well that this was what he said. She was indeed worried that she was wasting everyone's time and wasting the feelings of those who cared about her. Xue Miyin's matter was something she had to handle from the beginning. She just thought that many people, such as Lord Jiyue, had extended their hands to some people at some moments, and she should also make some kind choices. I didn't expect that I would be in such big trouble now. If I had to blame myself for my lack of ability, how could I let others clean up the mess for me? That was what she originally thought, but now, everyone sincerely wants to do something. This made it difficult for her to shirk responsibility, as if she didn't know how to praise.
And this feeling is indeed extremely real.
"Okay, what do you guys think...what should we do?"
Shi Wuqi picked up the cat's eye stone and said to her:
"This is easy to handle. The first time I tried it, its spiritual pressure exploded from my eyes, and I felt like my head was going to be blown through. But that was just an illusion, and then I saw it go by. Images. Those pictures passed very quickly and were very fragmented, but they were actually performed truly and completely. The last thing I saw was what she looked like at the moment. Now, I can try again. With the above After this experience, I shouldn’t have that much spiritual pressure now.”
"That's not possible! How can I let you take this risk?"
"Wasn't it okay last time?" Shi Wuqi didn't seem to agree. He spread his hands and said, "Besides, with you watching this time, what can happen?"
"If you think it will hurt your body, there is no need to do this." Lord Uoyue persuaded him.
"I'm really fine. Even if something happens, she still has..."
Shi Wuqi glanced at Shuangyue Lord, then at Maoyue Lord, and blinked. Although he didn't say everything, both of them knew that he wanted to say that the magic weapon was in Lord Shuangyue's hands, and if there was an accident, it could help. Mr. Shuangyue closed his eyes hard, pursed his lips, and nodded heavily, as if he had made up his mind. She didn't want to bother others all the time, but after all that was said, it would be her own fault if she didn't appreciate it. Shi Wuqi said the same thing, with the amber around, it could help somewhat.
So, he really did it. He lowered his head, and one side of his front hair stood vertically in front of his eyes. Then, he pushed the opal into his empty eye socket.
On the golden-green gemstone, the thin cat's eye suddenly contracted, and then suddenly expanded. Others clearly saw a small piece of light flashing from under his hair, and he immediately clenched the fist of his other hand, with veins standing out. Shuangyue Jun stood up briefly, and everyone else couldn't help but move closer, for fear that something might happen to him. And Long Miao immediately scanned the entire teahouse lobby. Now there are people on the central stage preparing to sing. Almost all people's attention is attracted, and no one pays attention to them.
"Are you okay?" Kong Lingbei frowned, "It's just too much, but don't lose more than you gain."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Wuqi, who had been hanging his head, suddenly grabbed his wrist with great force. Kong Lingbei let out a cry, but quickly suppressed it. The performance on the stage has already begun, and the loud singing voices drown out the screams in the corner. Kong Lingbei was really furious. But by now the energy had probably passed, and Shi Wuqi's hand relaxed a little, and then slowly moved away. He put his hands on his temples and rested his elbows on the edge of the table, as if he was still a little uncomfortable.
"...Village," he said.
"Village?" They didn't understand.
After a while, Shi Wuqi murmured: "There are mountains in the distance... white. Cold."
"cold?"
Having said that, Uoyuki-kun saw a big bead of sweat falling on his forehead. He is under great pressure, but so far he is tolerant. When Longmiao heard this, he thought for a moment and asked:
"Is it snow?"
"Snow," Shi Wuqi repeated, "the mountains are covered with snow, connected to the pale sky."
What kind of place could this be with high mountains covered with snow? Mr. Shuangyue didn't want to understand. Summer is almost here, why is it snowing somewhere? Could it be the Snow Inkstone Valley? This is absolutely impossible. There was no reason for her to stay there after so long, not to mention that there was no way no one would notice. Once any disciple knows her whereabouts, they will definitely tell her.
I heard that if you go all the way north to the end of the world, you will come to a tundra that never melts all year round. But even if you take the spiritual line, it is still far away. After all, this is just a legend and no one has actually been there. There are no resources there, and there is nothing except ice and snow. It is not suitable for human beings to survive at all, and the same goes for monsters. Therefore, even Liudao Impermanence has never been to that kind of place. But that's not a mountain. If it were really snow on an ordinary mountain... what a high mountain it would be.
"The mountains are still far away, but you can see them. They are connected together. Miss Xue is with another person. A, a monster, well, she..."
"Wait a moment!"
Kong Lingbei suddenly grabbed his shoulder. Shi Wuqi was shaken like this, his whole body leaned back, and his hair was pushed to one side. Others immediately saw red blood spilling from his eyes and running down his cheeks like tears. Shuoyue Jun and Long Miao both stood up and hurriedly ran around the table to his side. A group of people held him down and made him end this dangerous search.
Long Miao immediately went to the waiter to ask for hot water and a handkerchief. Lord Uoyue took out a handkerchief and wiped the gem carefully. After the blood stains faded away, it became sparkling and spotless again. Shi Wuqi's breathing was rapid, and there was a cold sweat on his head. But other than that, he had no other discomfort.
Shi Wuqi gasped and glanced at Mao Yuejun. In this inconspicuous action, Uoyuki-kun understood what it meant. Mr. Shuangyue sat next to him, worried and scolding him, asking him not to do such dangerous things next time.
"If I knew you would become like this, I wouldn't let you do it even if I killed you."
"Isn't this working after all?"
He said with a playful smile. If he didn't look so bad, he would really look like a fine person.
Kong Lingbei thought for a moment, as if he had discovered something.
"If you want snow this season, there are actually many places. But since it is a mountain..."
"It's Wanren Mountain." Shi Wuqi said, "I remembered it. Based on the direction of the sun, the surrounding terrain, and the types of vegetation, if I guessed correctly, the mountains in the distance are Wanren Mountain. They looked towards Go in that direction."
How could they... go to a place like this?
At this time, Long Miao came with a handkerchief and hot water. He twisted the towel and asked Shi Wuqi to wipe his face. The beads were returned to Lord Shuangyue. Lord Maoyue looked at her and said to Long Miao:
"Excuse me, please take care of Shopkeeper Shi here. I have something to say with Mr. Shuangyue."
"good."
Although this meant that Long Miao would have to stay with Kong Lingbei for a while, he didn't mind. After all, the person who minded more than him hadn't spoken yet. Shi Wuqi seemed to have calmed down. He wiped his face and put a warm handkerchief on his injured eyes. He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes, seemingly uninterested in the girls' actions.
Uoyue Jun took Shuoyue Jun to behind a screen in the store. It's relatively deserted here and no one pays attention.
"Are you going there? To find her?"
"I must go to Mutsuki-kun first." Shigetsuki-kun said.
"What happens after that? Are you going?"
"...Probably. If they are still there."
"There is a magic weapon there, which is the purple-gold demon-subduing pestle left by King Shura, the god of war."
Lord Shuangyue was quite surprised: "How do you know?"
"It was Shopkeeper Shi who asked the armed man to go to Wanren Mountain to rest. Mr. Yingyue was present at the time, and she later told me about it. And the monster next to Miss Xue is an evil messenger. I think, you I know what that means."
"impossible?!"
Lord Shuangyue suddenly exclaimed. Someone poked his or her head outside the screen, wondering what was going on here. Uoyue Jun suddenly grabbed her hand with a solemn look on his face.
"Whether you believe it or not, this is the fact. You must go there - the sooner the better. I will find Mutsuki-kun for you. You don't have to make a decision so early...but give me the orb first."
Mr. Shuangyue was still immersed in a terrible trance. She silently took out the cat's eye stone and handed it to Utsuki-kun. After Utsuki-kun took it, she waved her other hand gently, and the string of three-layered Kagura bells appeared in her hand.
"I can let you go back to the illusion of that day now...but when you wake up, you must tell me what choice you made."
Mr. Shuangyue was a little panicked.
"No, I, I don't know. You, this-"
"Do you think we can go for you? To be honest, the result will be the same no matter who goes. But if it is you, there is still a chance of winning. If even you can't deal with it, it proves that no one can. In this matter, You have to do it.”
Mr. Shuangyue didn't know what to say. She looked into those eyes that had never been so stern before and felt completely lost.
"You have to face it." What Shi Wuqi had just said suddenly rang in her mind.
