The clouds passed over the waning moon, and the only glimmer of light flickered on and off, filtered even thinner by the dense canopy of trees. The hoot of an owl came from afar, tirelessly. Uoyue-kun walked step by step in the foothills of such mountains, and even the sound of the branches under his feet was clear and ear-piercing.
The meeting with Long Miao did not go well. Although this mountain is not big, the terrain is somewhat complicated, and the airtight woods alone are enough to trap people for a long time. Utsuki-kun asked all the monsters in the mountains and searched every ravine, but he still found no trace of Mutsuki-kun. It seemed that he was not here, and she had to expand the scope of her search. Moreover, from the mouths of those monsters, Uoyuki-kun also learned a piece of news: there are terrible monsters haunting the village at the foot of the mountain. As a result, Longmiao will be delayed for a long time. She knew it well, so she decided to take the initiative to move closer to the village so that she could easily meet him.
But she was walking uphill and she didn't feel tired. What concerned her was that there seemed to be something following her in an invisible place, let alone more than one.
At this time, she came to a thick stone wall.
"Sigh, this level of deception is easy to see through."
After saying that, she raised her hand, and her fingertips actually passed through the hard boulder. Then, this illusion faded and gradually disappeared before her eyes. This blinding method is the most basic, but it is also relatively the most useful. A person blinded by the illusion can really touch everything shown to him by the illusion. If you see through this, these obstacles will no longer work for you. In fact, along the way, Lord Uoyue saw many scenes of magic creation. It can be as small as a clump of palm-sized wild flowers, or as large as a trickle with no end in sight. Both the appearance and the sound are imitated very much like the real thing. Lord Maoyue saw through it, but did not say anything. Because until this time, the prank against her had not stopped, she realized that the person playing tricks on her was not just an ordinary naughty little monster on the mountain.
The huge stone wall disappeared, and the surrounding terrain also changed. The originally upward slope became downward sloping, and the layout of several trees changed. Behind her and about five feet away on both sides, many black shadows appeared. They floated among the bushes like ghosts without making a sound.
And standing in front of her was a strange woman she had never seen before.
"I've heard of you," Uoyuki-kun said softly, "You seem to be collecting valuable treasures everywhere."
That's right. The black shadows around are countless Piwei. Fei stood in front of her with a calm expression, as if he didn't take this Zao Wuchang seriously.
"Since you know, please hand over the most valuable thing on your body."
Fei's tone was so confident, as if the magic weapon was hers, and it was natural.
"I can roughly guess what you want. It's just... this isn't your thing. I can't give it to you."
No matter who he treats, Lord Maoyue always has such a humble attitude, and Long Miao often feels that this is unnecessary. But he never said anything. Everything Uoyuki-kun did must have her reasons, and she just needed to trust her. It's a pity that he won't be here now.
He smoothed the bunch of red hair in front of his forehead, then put his hands on his hips and said vigorously:
"All the valuable treasures in the world belong to me, including these magic weapons. I just asked you to keep them for me temporarily. Now I want to get them back. It's as simple as that. Your little guy is not here, and according to the As far as I know, you are not an impermanent ghost who is good at fighting. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, please take the initiative to hand over the Chizhen Pearl to me."
As she said that, she took two steps forward and stretched out her hand.
Lord Uoyue raised his chin and said thoughtfully: "I see... did you negotiate with the monsters in the village?"
"We just met each other. When I came, she had already been there for a long time, but there was no plan. Besides, you and the half-demon separated voluntarily, but you can't blame me for diverting the tiger away from the mountain. I was just fighting with that person. I just said hello and asked her not to interfere with things on the mountain. Likewise, she didn’t let me disturb the village, it’s that simple. You are fickle and always think about things too complicated. Obviously you were also born as human beings, but There are too many twists and turns, it's really boring. Sometimes, whether they are humans or monsters, the exchange of interests between each other is very simple." He picked up a strand of hair that fell by his ear, "In short, these are all To be honest, you must know that you are holding the Chizhen Pearl, right?"
"..."
Utsuki-kun looked confused. Then, she shook her head slightly.
"No, I don't know. Chi Zhenzhu is not here with me."
"...What?" Li was briefly stunned, "You, you don't want to sway me, you can't deceive me with this trick."
"It's true, please believe me. I have handed over the Chizhen Pearl to others - it is other impermanence, not the friend of the half-demon. If you want to go to the village now, it is unnecessary, and it will also violate your Isn’t it an agreement with that person?”
Pei gritted his teeth and murmured in his heart. According to the information she knew, Lord Uoyue was indeed a person who always told the truth. He had never engaged in any conspiracy or conspiracy for thousands of years, which was really rare. But the words she said clearly revealed what she was thinking. If Chi Zhenzhu is really not with her, Fei will feel that this person is more troublesome than imagined.
Her eyes can clearly see through everything. Is this why Yama asked her to take charge of the Chizhen Pearl?
Because she doesn't need it?
Forget it, there's no use thinking about it so much. I don't want to come here in vain. What's more, what if Utsuki-kun is lying? There is no certainty about this, so why not give her a try.
"You should just fool me with this rhetoric!"
Fei immediately waved his hand, and a black-clothed Fei guard came from the side as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, bright red blood spurted out from Utsuki-kun's neck, and a long red line appeared on the ground between the two of them. Her arteries were severed, or rather, most of her neck was severed, leaving only her spine and a little skin on the back of her head. Even the Six Paths of Impermanence cannot recover from such an injury right away. As long as we take advantage of this moment...
Just as Fei was about to step forward, he saw with his own eyes that Lord Uoyue, who had his head tilted back, suddenly nodded forward, and the huge crack in his neck healed quickly as if he were going back in time. It all happened so fast that she didn't even react. But when he lowered his head and looked, the bright red arc on the ground was clearly still there. Looking at Uoyuki-kun again, her fair and slender neck was intact.
This is how the same thing?
Lord Uoyue gently touched the previous wound and found no scar.
"Sneak attacks are not the way of a gentleman."
"I never said I was a gentleman." Fei sneered, and she responded quickly, "But... hahaha, I think I know. Now you don't have nothing - Poseidon's amber is on you. ! Otherwise, you will never heal the injuries caused by Weiwei so easily. It seems that your things were exchanged with the person who previously held the amber. Oh, I remember Lord Gaoyue told me... It was in Shuangyue Is that where you are?"
"You are very smart." Uoyue-kun did not show any dissatisfaction.
"Then where is Mr. Shuangyue? Just tell me. I only want the red bead now and nothing else. As long as you tell me, I will leave immediately and will never get entangled with you. "
Lord Uoyue lowered his head slightly and chuckled. The meaning of this laughter is not yet clear, but I can clearly hear a hint of ridicule. She immediately lowered her face and asked displeasedly:
"What, you don't believe me?"
"It's not a matter of belief or not. It's just that you should know that I will not bring trouble to more people. I am only blamed for my bad luck when I am involved in such an incident. I don't blame others. How could I do such a harm to others?" Self-interested thing? Furthermore, if I say that I don’t believe it, no matter whether I tell you or not, I’m afraid you will confront me with swords. As for the reason, you can use my distrust of you as an excuse.”
Fei's thoughts were revealed, and she seriously suspected that the Chizhen Pearl was actually in Uoyuki-kun's body. The feeling of being seen through by others was so unpleasant that she clenched her fists and swung them towards Uoyuki-kun's beautiful face. Uoyuki-kun nimbly dodged back to avoid her attack. Fei waved his hand again, and the black-clothed Fei guards on standby rushed forward one after another, like overwhelming ghosts. Utsuki-kun flicked his wrist and summoned a golden Kagura bell. She exerts force on her wrists and uses unique techniques to make the Kagura bells emit lively music. When the sound spread, all the guards fell to the ground one after another, like mosquitoes that had sucked in mosquito coils.
"In this case, I will no longer accompany you. I have important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
Uoyuki-kun bowed politely and prepared to walk around her and leave. Fei seemed to have been humiliated in some way - no, this was a real humiliation, and he couldn't help but feel angry. Lord Uoyue had already walked behind her, and she did not turn around, but made some small movements where Lord Uoyue could not see. There was another rustling sound in the bushes, and Uoyuki-kun, who was walking down the mountain, stopped, feeling helpless. She really didn't know how long she would have to fight with this girl before it ended.
But soon, she froze on the spot.
What appears again is not the black Piwei, but the white "body". Yes, bodies, hordes of puppets made of clay. It seems that they have also been waiting here for a long time, and the Piwei has become their cover. How come there are so many puppets in Pi? Who is providing them to her continuously? Uoyuki-kun stepped forward, and all the puppets' eyes followed her. Her every move was under the gaze of these inanimate objects, which really made people feel extremely eerie.
Utsuki-kun ran quickly and rang the Kagura bell in another special way. Those puppets chased after each other like crazy, but cracks continued to appear during the pursuit. In more serious cases, one's arms and legs will be broken, and one will no longer be able to catch up. She used the vibrations of sound to destroy them, which was a good idea, but the location and timing were not appropriate enough.
"Wait! Stop! Qinghe Canhua!"
What appeared in front was a neatly dressed puppet. The reason why the inhuman identity can be quickly identified is because the owner of the female voice also has fine cracks on her body. Lord Uoyue stopped and exclaimed:
"Is it, is it you? Are you... Lord Yingyue?"
"It's me. You see, I have a body now, and I can move freely even if I'm not in a dream... Stop it quickly, if this continues, I will be broken! Leave it to me, I have a way. "
Mr. Uoyue was in a trance. It all happened so suddenly that she still hadn't figured out what was happening. But the "woman" in front of her was undoubtedly Yingyue-kun whom she dreamed of while sleeping. She lowered her hand and stopped shaking the Kagura bell. The sound of shattering and falling pieces of porcelain behind him continued, getting closer and closer. Yingyue Jun took two steps forward to her side, pointed at the group of puppets and said:
"Now, look back."
Uoyuki-kun turned around.
Bright red colors exploded in front of his eyes, and his vision became distorted and broken in an instant. The broken skull and pottery fragments fell to the ground in a helter-skelter manner. One of the eyes flew to the hillside and rolled down along the terrain. Then, a foot stepped on it hard to stop it from rolling down. When he raised his feet again, the grass was wet with sticky juice.
The headless body fell down, revealing Ying Yuejun's cracked body.
Her jagged broken arm was covered in blood, her porcelain left hand was broken together with Utsuki-kun's head due to excessive force, and her right hand was also badly mangled. She ran her remaining ring finger across her lips, adding a touch of red like makeup.
"Thank you so much." Oncoming Li clapped his hands, "This kind of injury will take a while even with Amber."
"It's going to take longer."
Yingyue Jun leaned down, and some of the surface porcelain fragments fell down. She used her incomplete right hand to dig out the blue amber from Uoyue-kun's clothes and handed it to Qi.
"Ceramic is ceramic after all, it's really fragile..." Yingyue Jun's voice changed again, and she said calmly, "In this case, I don't owe you any favors. But, I want a new body."
"Easy to say."
