"That is the legendary peerless weapon."
This is what she said to Xue Miyin.
Having said that...she hadn't actually heard much about this thing. Strictly speaking, she knew that there were seven magic weapons in the world. But in her mind, these are just legends and stories, just like those made up by the author in the storybook, without any real feeling. Most people in the world also feel the same way as her. Just like there must be a lost martial arts secret book under the cliff. As for the author and its origin, no one cares. After all, this is a plot that people naturally accept. The so-called seven magic weapons are just such a plot in her eyes.
There really are no secrets at the bottom of the cliff.
The moment Ye Linghua let go, she felt that the world had become quiet and she could no longer hear any sound in her ears. Even the natural howling of the wind completely stopped and disappeared from her consciousness. The only real thing is the feeling of weightlessness when falling, which is exactly the same as every awakening in the dream. As she fell, watching the little man holding on to the branch getting further and further away, and the blue sky becoming narrower and narrower, she really hoped that this was indeed a dream. When she woke up from the dream, she was still surrounded by those newly acquainted, loyal and reliable close friends.
But betrayal is betrayal. Betrayal just happens. Betrayal is unforgivable.
It was her first best friend who finally saved her. Her best friend had anticipated this situation after talking to her that night. She casts a spell that makes her appear when she needs to face life-threatening danger. This is indeed a dangerous spell, not to mention how serious the cost of the spell will be to the subject, and the consequences it will bring are unpredictable. What if, when this moment actually happens, Miao Miao’s enemy, a certain impermanence of the Six Paths, is nearby? What if the situation was so urgent that she couldn't do anything about it? But she did this just for Miyin and firmly believed that she had the ability to handle it. A giant web woven by spells appeared in the middle of the cliff. Although it could not catch the target as firmly as a solid body, it also acted as a sufficient buffer. When she penetrated this giant net and fell to the bottom of the cliff, it was as if someone was carrying her and placing her firmly on the ground. At that time, Miyin had already fainted due to the strong emotional impact, but Miaomiao took her away.
Indeed, they have not seen each other for so many years... But Xue Miyin increasingly believes that only those who have experienced great changes in life and death can be called true friends, friends who will not betray. After all, even Shuangyue Lord turned his back on her, didn't he? No... She was just a guy who talked empty words and clichés from the beginning, using beautiful words to cover up her incompetence. If she had told herself frankly from the beginning what kind of person she actually was, maybe Miyin wouldn't be so disappointed. It was because she was too vain that she did not explain anything and silently accepted the false reputation that was not in line with her abilities. Even Miaomiao said so.
"Are you listening?"
Miaomiao, who was walking beside her, suddenly raised her voice.
"Ah, listening."
"I think you seem to be a little distracted. What are you thinking about? Are you tired?" Her friend slowed down. "Have you been on the road these days and haven't had a good rest?"
"It's okay, really. I went with those people before, and it was pretty much the same. Well, the peerless magic weapon you just mentioned...is it really in that kind of place? On such a high mountain..."
"It's definitely not wrong. After the Wuyong family snatched the Demon-Conquering Pestle from the pagoda, it was kept by the Yin family. The Zuojinmen ransacked their home, and the whereabouts of the thing were unknown, and no one traced it... I guess it must be It was stolen by people from the Zuo Renmen. I made inquiries in many places and tried my best to get the list of the operation and identified the person who was most likely to carry it. The last place where someone saw her was Wanren. Under the mountains. The man went there with his weapons and never came out. This happened not long ago, and the news is absolutely true."
Xue Miyin looked at her seriously, making Miaomiao feel a little embarrassed.
"What, what's wrong?"
"...It's nothing. I just feel that you have become so powerful and know everything. You are obviously younger than me, but I don't act like a sister at all. I don't seem to... know anything."
"Is that so? In fact, it's not a big deal. You are also very good. Like me, I can't play the piano. Searching for intelligence sources, identifying information, obtaining property, escaping... those glorious and disgraceful things are all It seems difficult, but it is nothing if you have experience. Maybe it is the same as playing the piano for you? If you have done it a lot and for a long time, you can figure it out. It’s just that our environment is different. If we will If our roles are reversed, you can do the same as me, or even better. But if I were you... maybe I wouldn't be able to learn to play the piano."
Xue Miyin smiled. This is a genuine smile, a smile that only appears when you feel genuine joy. She is not good at being praised, which is indeed related to her dislike of dealing with people. Even if someone praised her, whether it was from the bottom of his heart or not, she felt that he didn't mean it. When Ye Linghua said that she played shamisen well, she always suspected that he was just being polite. Why she is so unconfident may also have something to do with Mr. Shuangyue. There are not many opportunities for the two to meet, but every time they meet, she can be deeply affected, whether it is positive or negative. After all, in those days, the glares she received from her family members made her feel boring. Only when she came here could she add some brightness to her life. Most of the time, Shuoyue-kun just protects her, treating her as a child and as a delicate flower. In the final analysis, she didn't trust herself. She takes great care of herself, who has a dark past, and is careful, as if she can never suffer a second blow. She had survived the most painful days, what else could hurt her? But Lord Shuangyue just felt that she was too weak, as if she would never grow up, and never believed that she would make any good progress in her piano skills or magic.
Even though Miaomiao comforted her and said that Lord Shuangyue wanted to protect herself, she only felt more irritated. She had clearly been able to do it a long time ago. Only what happened to Amiao made her realize that she could not protect others.
Speaking of which... for some reason, Amiao has been sleeping in the shamisen for the past few days and refuses to come out. Miaomiao felt that the cat's mood was always unstable. Maybe it didn't want to accompany them on their journey these days, so it just hid there and was lazy. Xue Miyin felt that it made some sense. It had indeed done such a thing. By the way, having said that - Miaomiao, she wants to get that peerless magic weapon.
The purple-gold demon-subduing pestle cast by Shura... It is said that Shura's weapons can identify their masters, and each Shura will eventually get the weapon that suits him best. But now that it is living in the world, and there are only humans in the world, I wonder if such magical properties are still effective. But no matter what, they have to find it first. Miaomiao said that in the world of monsters, the strength of power plays a decisive role in the right to speak. As a teenage monster, she is certainly not strong enough. Her survival today is purely based on some unsophisticated cleverness and a little bit of luck. Monsters transformed from humans will be closely watched by the Impermanence of Six Paths no matter what - this is what she told Xue Miyin. When I am alone, I can still hide here and there and continue to live my life in a muddle-headed way. If they want to live a good life together with Xue Miyin, they must build up their own indestructible strength.
Xue Miyin already knew very well from past battles with others that facing the edge of a knife was not something she was good at. I am afraid that even among the famous Zuojimen killers on the list, none are famous for their weapons related to instrumental music. As for those famous musicians, in addition to being good at playing, singing, and playing musical instruments, there are indeed very few people who combine spiritual power to create magic. Although being a musician is no longer a profession that is looked down upon by people, it is very difficult to show your ability in this field and even gain a foothold in the world.
Sure enough, whether among humans or monsters, it all depends on who has the bigger fist.
The Zijin Demonic Pestle, a magical weapon that absorbs the martial arts of all its holders, is something that everyone in the world is jealous of. However, because most people only regard it as a legend, and because those magic weapons have never caused turmoil in the world, mentioning any of them will only make people smile. But since Miaomiao said it was true, Xue Miyin believed it was true. It makes no sense for her to deceive herself, not to mention that she is doing this not only for herself, but for their shared future.
In order to live without looking at other people's faces, in order to no longer hide in Tibet, in order to be treated fairly, in order to live a simple and unpretentious life... they must build a majesty that no one dares to offend. As the saying goes, I will not offend others unless they offend me. Mi Yin believed that in their hands, such magical weapons would never be abused, but would only be used for self-protection. Such a thing will surely fulfill their wishes. Miaomiao also told her that even the previous Shuangyue Lord, the man who brought the Demon-Sealing Blade to the world, also used the pestle.
"We can learn martial arts from all over the world! From south to north, from ancient times to the present!" Miaomiao said excitedly, "By then we won't have to be afraid of anyone! If anyone comes to trouble us, we will They all ran away. No one can kidnap us, no one can order us, and no one can tell us what to do! The most important thing is..."
She suddenly stood in front of Xue Miyin and grabbed her shoulders, her eyes full of expectation. Miyin didn't know what she was going to say, but he was also infected by this emotion and looked at her expectantly.
"You have the power to implement your own principles - the justice you recognize, the order you trust, the rules you affirm... You can do everything she cannot."
