The mountain wind roared across, fluttering the hems and cuffs of his clothes.
The person standing on the rock was unmoved. After all, the Six Paths of Impermanence were not afraid of the cold. Lord Jiyue clasped his hands behind his back, turned his blindfolded face towards the towering mountain peaks, and quietly looked at the majestic mountains spread out in front of him. The beginning of this mountain range cannot be seen at a glance. It stretches wildly and vigorously in the field of vision, spreading to the end of the line of sight and connecting to the sky. The outline of the high places is blurred into the color of an ink painting.
The lines and shapes in the distance are hazy, but the rocks in front of me are sharp and jagged. The mountain wall is steep, exposing large pieces of blue-gray stone, but there are still tenacious trees and weeds struggling to gain a foothold in the gaps, dotted with vicissitudes of yellow-brown and lush green. Lord Jiyue tilted his head slightly, as if he was carefully studying the scenery, even though the cloth on his face covered his eyes tightly.
"Mountains and seas."
He suddenly called softly. Behind him, Lin Shanhai stopped and returned the favor. Lord Jiyue did not look back, but there was a smile on his face and words:
"It's a coincidence that you came here. There aren't many people in this place. Let me guess, you're here to help me catch the two-tongued villain?"
"That's not the case." Lin Shanhai denied calmly, "I traveled through the spiritual veins and passed by this place. I felt your breath, so I came to greet you. After a while, I have to go back to the spiritual veins and leave by another way."
"Ah, that's such a pity. I thought you were intentional and came to help me." Lord Jiyue deliberately showed a regretful expression.
Lin Shanhai was unmoved, but when it came to this matter, he was somewhat concerned. Now is not the time to chat with old friends. Their relationship is enough to speak frankly.
"Is the Liangtan you are responsible for arresting accompanied by another girl? As far as I know, that is the child saved by Lord Shuangyue."
"That's true, and things have become a little more complicated because of this. The evil messenger Liangtongue is already very troublesome. She is very cunning and scheming, and previous attempts to hunt her down have failed. Now, Mr. Shuangyue has rescued her. That person also appeared next to her." Speaking of this, Lord Jiyue couldn't help but frown slightly, "We don't know how to deal with them to get the best results, or even what the best results are. Therefore, I dare not act rashly and am thinking of countermeasures."
Lin Shanhai said "Huh" and didn't say anything for a while. Lord Jiyue knew that he was probably thinking about what he said, so he continued:
"I originally thought that it might be easier if Mr. Shuangyue was here. But then I changed my mind and wondered if it would be better if she was not here. If she were here, she would be able to make some ideas. If we join forces, we also know How to deal with those two people. Moreover, based on their understanding, Shuangyue Lord may be the only one who can communicate. However, the child has a grudge against Shuangyue Lord. A slight mistake will make the situation even more uncontrollable, or Shuangyue Lord It's not impossible to be concerned about chaos. This can only be thought about. Right now, Lord Shuangyue is not here, and no one knows what will happen if she is here. "
He was more sorting out his thoughts and expressing some emotions rather than seeking any advice. Lin Shanhai listened silently, thinking and digesting together. They stood side by side and looked at the mountains quietly. After a while, Lin Shanhai suddenly sighed:
"Rescuing people is really not as simple as just doing whatever you want. Regardless of the consequences of the action or the person being saved, it is difficult to have sufficient understanding when making a saving move."
Lord Jiyue's face turned towards him, staring through his eyes.
"Why... you suddenly say this? But it is true. Sometimes I feel that this is just like gambling on stones. You don't know whether what you get will be beautiful jade or garbage, and you can't predict. When you dig in with the chisel, the stone skin will be unraveled. It is still possible to break the minerals." Mr. Jiyue shook his head, "Even so, you still saved many people."
"Ha... maybe it's because you saved my life in the first place." Lin Shanhai chuckled, "This is probably about passing on the fire from generation to generation?"
Lord Jiyue turned to him, and his invisible eyes seemed to emit light that penetrated everything.
"I saved you for a reason. Perhaps it should be said that it was selfish."
After saying that, he sighed softly. Shan Hai nodded and sighed the same as him.
"Alas. I can't deny it, but that's because you know clearly that I am not the monster who risked my life to save you when you were alive." Lin Shanhai's smile faded a little, and he said sincerely, "It's like... we We all know that Aluan is not Qingnv. Despite this, everyone still treats her sincerely. Even though it was because of Qingnv at first, in our eyes, it is still the same Aluan."
Mr. Jiyue also laughed, shaking his head while laughing, as if he was relieved and laughing at himself.
"You see clearly, but it's me who is so stupid that I follow you life after life and rescue you again and again. Gee, I'm so moved by myself. You can't be ungrateful. I didn't say anything. When you become successful in your life, repay me well."
"Just daydreaming about the blue sky."
"But, it's not a loss. After all these years, I've been waiting for a sage like you to save the world."
He looked at Shanhai with a smile, and the latter waved his hand helplessly, as if to wave away the humor and narrow-mindedness in his words.
"Don't make fun of me. You have saved countless people yourself, and I know all of this. Although you always say that there are too many people suffering in the world and you can't save them at all, you still do what you can. matter."
"There's nothing I can do about it. I'm like this. I can't ignore it when I see it. Aren't you the same?"
"...Yes. In fact, I have also thought that I would reach this point without your influence. If it is to save the world and save the people, I have indeed done such a thing, but it was not so ambitious at the beginning. The goal. In the final analysis, my most fundamental motivation is very simple. Just seeing something that can help me, I can't just sit back and ignore it." Lin Shanhai was a little emotional, "In my opinion, you are the same. Although Liu Dao Impermanence shoulders responsibilities , but when you do good deeds beyond your responsibilities, you may not be driven by the most essential goodness of human nature, rather than holding some lofty goals and thinking of blessing the world."
Lord Jiyue's expression became a little subtle and complicated, and he sighed softly:
"If I only want to benefit the world, I may be more hesitant when saving people. Do you know? In fact, among the people I save, apart from people like you, there are also many evildoers."
"This is reasonable. After all, you have saved too many people, and the path they will take in the future is not something you can decide."
"I understand this myself. So in most cases, I don't mind. At least when I help, the most important thing is a living human life." Lord Jiyue's voice was soft, almost like murmuring to himself. Say, "It's just..."
"only?"
"What if that person became a villain because of my rescue?"
Lin Shanhai was silent for a brief moment. He didn't know why Mr. Jiyue said this. He has lived longer than me and has seen more. He should be better at handling such things than me. Since the specific situation was not mentioned, maybe Lord Jiyue was testing him. Although he didn't know the significance of this question, Shan Hai still thought about it carefully. Ultimately, he just said this:
"Don't worry too much. There are many reasons for a person to do evil. It is never you alone who can make something happen. Even if you think that you have made someone become a bad person, this person will never be able to do it when you meet him. Before you, there were other reasons that made him the kind of person he met you.”
Lord Jiyue sighed. He naturally knew that this was a mess that he couldn't sort out. Even if it was really his responsibility, should he stop saving people because of this? Ask yourself, this is too much to give up eating because of choking, but it is also too much to dwell on how much responsibility you have to bear. He shook his head, as if to expel the confusing thoughts from his mind.
"That's all. By the way, I haven't asked you yet, where are you going to take the spiritual pulse? Are you helping someone, or..."
"I'm tracking down living corpses." Lin Shanhai spoke concisely, "I visited almost all places where living corpses broke out, compared it with the map, and drew a record. After putting all the information together and analyzing it, I can see that they have One thing in common. Those infected spiritual veins are all connected to Qing Lize."
Lord Jiyue raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Qing Lize... That's easy to handle, Death Shadow Pavilion..."
"They kicked me out."
"Pfft...cough," Mr. Jiyue restrained his smile in time, "You are really...your motives are so obvious. If it is really their fault, of course they have to guard against you."
Lin Shanhai anticipated his reaction and didn't say much. He just rubbed his eyebrows and said, "So, I used some strategies."
"Strategy? Tell me."
"After checking the living corpses, I also studied the movements of the puppets. You should have heard about the puppets."
"Not only that, I also know that there may be some connection between the two." Lord Jiyue looked at Lin Shanhai attentively, "So, you traced and found that the puppets and living corpses are connected to Qinglize through their movements?"
"No, quite the opposite."
This answer was a bit unexpected, and Lord Jiyue couldn't help but make a confused sound. Lin Shanhai further explained:
"The traces of their appearances are completely different, and there is no overlap at all. This is too much of a coincidence, almost like a careful plan."
"...Ah, yes, really? I didn't expect that."
Lord Jiyue's expression became solemn. Lin Shanhai looked at him with equal solemnity:
"Well, it's natural that you haven't thought about it. After all, you can't see clearly and won't use images to deal with the problem in the first place. But now, I expect you will have the same idea as me."
Under his gaze, Lord Jiyue nodded slowly and carefully, as if deep in thought.
"Then, what are your next plans..."
"It is difficult to understand the living corpse in depth for the time being. As for the other side, I heard that the evil messengers of lies have many puppets."
"Huh? Are you planning to steal it openly? You are so brave." Lord Jiyue was obviously joking.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to grab it." Lin Shanhai said quietly, "After all, if Duan Chenhuan and Yuan Xiang compete with each other, the result is unpredictable. Behind Huayu, there is the entire Wuyong family. If we become enemies with them, there will be no one in the world. It’s possible that I’m going to have a hard time. That group of people burned my shrine, cut off my letters, and bullied men and women. It’s not necessarily true that they won’t do bad things. But I do know..."
"what do you know?"
"Puppets don't only exist in Wuyong's hands."
