Han Zhang and his sister went higher up the mountain. Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo looked at each other and at the door at the same time. The wooden door should be white, but in the snow, it looks a little yellow, like the color of rice.
The door is ajar. Xie Zhe took a step forward and gently pushed the door open without making any sound. It's clean and spacious inside, and seems bigger than it looks from the outside. They carefully took a few steps inward, but did not see any shadow of the Six Paths of Impermanence. Xie Zhe was thinking in his mind, could it be that that person had gone out during this time? Before he could turn around and prepare to go out to search, he heard Jiao Mo exclaim softly:
"ah……"
He turned around and found that where Jiao Mo was staring, there was clearly a green figure, like a bud poking out of the snow. But this bud was listless, looking like it had been baptized by a snowstorm. Mr. Shuangyue sat on a bench against the wall, raised his heavy head, and his eyes could not be completely focused. Xie Zhe hurriedly ran over and exclaimed:
"How, is it you? Why are you here? You are not..."
Didn’t you go to find Mutsuki-kun? But he didn't have time to ask these questions. It seemed that Lord Shuangyue was not in good condition. Regardless of whether the reason was related to her mission, Xie Zhe did not want to ask such a question at this time. They didn't notice it just now, maybe because she was too quiet and her location was so inconspicuous.
"Well... you guys sit down."
Lord Shuangyue said this and raised his arm slightly, feebly. It seems that this state is more than just a day or two. Following the direction of her hand, Xie Zhe pulled the two stools beside the table and handed one to Jiao Mo. They both sat down, feeling a little uncomfortable. No one knows what happened to make Mr. Shuangyue look like this.
"you……"
"Ah, Uzuki-kun is doing the work of rescuing Mutsuki-kun. She went for me. Now, we are almost here."
Xie Zhe closed his mouth and nodded. He really wanted to ask if something unexpected happened during the mission - on the way to find Mutsuki-kun, or if he went too late, the magic weapon had no effect, etc... But since that was not the case, let Shuoyue-kun was probably troubled by something else. Xie Zhe suddenly remembered that he had not introduced Jiao Mo yet, so he tried to change the topic so that the atmosphere would not be as heavy and stiff as it was now.
"By the way, this lady is called Jiao Mo. We met her on the way." He extended his hand and introduced Jiao Mo, "This is Mr. Shuangyue."
"Shuangyue Lord." Jiao Mo nodded, "In these years, I have indeed never seen Shuangyue Lord again."
"Have you met before?"
Mr. Shuangyue raised his eyes and looked at her, feeling strange. He only said: "Maybe I have never met this lady before."
Jiao Mo responded: "Yes, we probably don't know each other. But I do know Mr. Shuangyue, but the Mr. Shuangyue I know is a taciturn man."
After hearing this, Mr. Shuangyue seemed to cheer up. She took another serious look at the woman in front of her who should be approaching middle age. After examining her, her fickle eyes realized that Madam's actual age was much older than she appeared to be now. However, she is still aging slowly, at a relatively pathetic speed for humans. Compared with ordinary monsters, she is different. She did not age as quickly as she does now.
"But..." Jiao Mo continued carefully, "I have seen that sword on that Lord Shuang Yue."
She meant the Demon Sealing Blade.
Xie Zhe looked at her and asked, "Do you know the origin of this wakizashi?"
"Well, I was young and ignorant then, but of course I know now."
Then she must also know how the current Shuangyue Lord became the Six Paths Impermanence. None of them continued. However, Jiao Mo was still thinking in his heart. She has heard about Lord Shuangyue now, and can also match the image of this woman with the rumors, but she still can't think of it, why is it her? There seemed to be no similarity between her and that man, and the standard of this demon-sealing blade was really elusive. Perhaps, it has its own way of judgment. After so many years, it was actually difficult for her to remember the face of that man.
Jiao Mo suddenly realized that he was wandering, and quickly brought his thoughts back to focus on the present. All in all, Mr. Shuangyue doesn't seem to be fine now, at least judging from Xie Zhe's reaction. The two of them were at a loss what to do, but she herself spoke first.
"The ten evils have appeared in this world, and I cannot escape the blame."
"Why do you say that?" Xie Zhe frowned, "What happened? Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. The work of the Six Paths of Impermanence is not as simple as ordinary people think. You have stopped We have suffered enough disasters in the world, and we cannot expect a happy ending for everything.”
"Master Xie is talking about...how can you criticize yourself so harshly?"
Lord Shuangyue just shook his head and looked at them silently. It had been a few days since the tragedy happened, and she felt that it was almost time to get rid of her grief. Spending a few days with that lively and lovely fox demon girl made her feel much better. It's just to put it simply, how can you just let go of such a thing? It's just relying on time to numb the mind, using the recovered strength to deceive oneself, hiding the sorrow, forgetting and thinking of it from time to time. But no matter what, it’s time to let your emotions allow you to calmly state those established facts.
"Beautiful words, frivolous and rude, hidden in smiles. Even a series of lies can make people willing to be deceived, making them believe every word and turn against those who persuade them with good words. Use gorgeous rhetoric to make people relax their vigilance, and use beautiful words to make people relax. The embellishments can deceive people, and the colorful words can make people indulge in illusions... And after that, the huge gap between facts and cognition exposed by breaking the colorful shell is enough to break people's bones and make them irrecoverable. This is nonsense. .”
Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo looked at each other.
"It's also the child I saved."
Xie Zhe took a breath of cold air.
Jiao Mo had not expected the extent of his shock, but he also realized the seriousness of the matter. Xie Zhe's lips trembled slightly and he hesitated to say a few words:
"You mean, Xue, Xue Mi..."
"This is all my fault."
"No……"
Xie Zhe shouted softly, not knowing whether he was refuting Mr. Shuangyue or because he couldn't believe this fact. But when he calmed down and thought about it again and again, he always had a strange feeling - as if this day would come sooner or later. However, his mental preparation was not sufficient. Isn't Lord Shuangyue unable to extricate himself from such sadness? But for her, this is inevitable.
Miss Ling Huan will definitely be sad if she finds out.
This was Xie Zhe's second thought.
After all, Jiao Mo is someone who has seen strong winds and waves. Of course she knows the seriousness of these words, but she can still appear calmer than Xie Zhe. This has nothing to do with whether she has been with a few people. She asked Mr. Shuangyue:
"Are you worried that you won't be able to fight against such... such an opponent?"
"There are still the country, the country, and the people. Do you think you are sorry for the common people? Don't think so. You don't have the responsibility of a mother to Miss Xue. To put it harshly, you don't even have the responsibility of a sister. Take responsibility. There are many evil parents who are not at fault, so you don’t have to blame yourself too harshly."
Although Xie Zhe did not expect such a situation, if he asked "Is it true" at this moment, even he knew that he was just looking for discomfort. Lord Shuoyue will not lie to them. In his memory, although Xue Miyin was a somewhat reserved girl, the fact that things developed like this...can't be said to be completely unexpected. There were so many secrets about her, and it was their fault that they didn't ask carefully, so they let people like this with "unknown origins" accompany them, and they had some feelings of companionship.
Shuangyue Jun only felt a buzzing in her ears, blood gurgling through the veins on her temples, and she could almost hear the sound of blood flowing. She knew that what the two of them said was right, but... neither of them was the most important to her. In front of Xie Zhe, she did not shy away and said something like this that made the two of them speechless for a moment:
"Can she turn back into a human?"
The two were speechless.
So far, no one has witnessed with their own eyes that demon-transformed humans can regain their human bodies. It is common for animals that are trained to become monsters to degenerate into beasts due to their vitality being severely damaged, their cultivation being completely ruined, and monsters being trained as adults. This also happens occasionally - in the past, there was a man named Liu Dao Impermanence who did this. Experience; people who become immortals can also remove their immortal bones and demote them to mortals. But there is absolutely no possibility of restoration for monsters transformed by humans.
At least no one has heard of it.
This question is one to which Mr. Shuangyue knows the answer. But when tragedy occurs, it is probably human nature to always expect a miracle to happen. It is a common story among human beings to turn to believe in gods, Buddhas or even evil gods when they are cornered. But Lord Shuangyue knew very well that there was nothing worthy of her belief in this world, so even the illusory things that could support her spirit did not exist. How sad this is.
"Where is she now?"
"Left with Liangtongue. As for whether we are still together now, I don't know."
Without any warning, a voice suddenly appeared in Xie Zhe's mind. That was the voice of another evil angel.
"Since she is with a monster, she might have turned into a monster."
His scalp felt numb.
"I... don't know what to do. I must look very cowardly and ridiculous at the moment." Mr. Shuangyue laughed twice at himself, "I know that no one can be relieved by this matter. , but I have to regain my strength. If I comfort others, my principles are also the same, but if I apply them to myself, it will not be so easy to pretend that it never happened. Maybe we will meet again. By then , I don’t know if I still have the strength to draw the weapon and the courage to confront her with the sword. But when the day comes, I have no choice.”
Xie Zhe suddenly stood up.
"I am willing to help you." He tightened the hilt of the sword at his waist, "Mu Yuejun gave me the magic weapon, and I will definitely use it. We have also spent time with Miss Xue day and night, although we cannot fully understand your Although I have some difficulties, I can somewhat understand your pain. I think that now that things have come to this day, I am afraid that I cannot get rid of the relationship with what happened in Xueyan Valley before. In this case, we also have a share of responsibility. If you can’t be cruel, I am willing to I will be the villain who confronts her sword for you. I am also willing to work with you to find a solution for what happens next..."
Lord Shuangyue looked at his Fengyun Zhan and was silent for a long time.
"If you really want to do this, even if you just have the intention, it will be enough."
