It took a lot of effort from the snake and Miyin to find this person again. The whereabouts of the Six Paths of Impermanence are inherently unpredictable, and it is even more difficult to find out about a specific person. However, there are always people willing to provide this kind of inexplicable information, because in the hands of some people, it will always be useful. And where there is a market, sellers will definitely appear.
It was from places like this that they found the news. Although most intelligence black markets have such a business, after all, this business is not easy to make, and it is not very popular, so those who hold the information rarely take the initiative to send it to the next party. In the end, the two of them went around in circles and spent a lot of money to find out the whereabouts of the man.
I heard she was heading to the South Country.
"What kind of place is the South Country?" Miyin asked.
"It's... a pretty good place. Many myths and stories today originated here." Her friend recalled while scratching her head, "The most classic one is probably Kanna-kun's God-killing War, right? The eight gods were killed. His beheadings and their magical weapons have been passed down to this day. What about the story of the Great Tengu? It is said that the first person to establish a blood contract with the Tengu was not a native of the southern country. He brought this bloodline back to the land where we live today. There are also stories of sharks. Although we also have them there, in one of the many stories of sharks, there is a huge dragon, which is rumored to still be entrenched under the Biluo Islands. There are many, many stories like this."
"I heard that some serious religions were also introduced from the South?"
The snake thought for a while and replied: "That seems to be the case. Mutsuki-kun seemed to be the first person to have an association with Buddha during his lifetime. However, that was the Southern Kingdom a long, long time ago. The Southern Kingdom was not called this name yet, and there was no Occupied by eight gods. If you think about it carefully, it may be because people in the southern country need faith to survive, so they became believers in those false gods."
"False God..."
"That's for you humans, right?" The Demon Snake said with a smile, "Well, I almost forgot, you are no longer."
Xue Miyin didn't care about these words. She asked, "Do you have any other ideas? Don't you think they are false gods?"
"False gods, evil gods, evil gods... they are all names arranged by humans." The snake patted its chest gently, "The other part of me - the part that has been a monster from the beginning, is the python god Mahuluaka. dependents."
"Dependents?" Xue Miyin did not respond, "Mahorojia? Then, wasn't the red pearl that day..."
"Yes, that was something that once belonged to the python god." The snake nodded and said, "The python god came from the animal path. The animal path is similar to the asura path, and part of them runs parallel to the human path... You see, there are also things in the human world. Many birds and beasts, asura monsters, right? I have a similar bloodline to Maharaja in my body. Of course, after so many years, it has been regarded as my ancestor. Think about it, even the geographical distance between us is so far away, So the blood relationship is already very thin.”
Xue Miyin thought about it and asked: "Are all the snake monsters considered to be the descendants of Mahallaka?"
"Of course it's different. Is every person on the street your relative?"
"Well……"
"Isn't that enough? Ah, I forgot that you no longer belong to them."
Xue Miyin stopped talking and continued walking with her. They are very close to their goal. The two of them had just learned about Shuangyue Lord's whereabouts from elsewhere, and now they had to act quickly. But not long after, the snake took the initiative to speak.
"We still don't know if Chi Zhenzhu is on her body, so we must be cautious. If she learns of our purpose, it will not be so easy for us to succeed."
"The Chizhen Pearl can see into people's thoughts, right?" "Well, yes. Unlike amber, the power of the Python God can directly invade people's thoughts, revealing at a glance the true parts that people are most afraid of being exposed, while amber is just To establish spiritual communication, you need to obtain the consent of the other party, at least not to resist you and not hostile to you. However, there should be people who can use amber to invade their thoughts... that is their own strong will. The magical weapon is just a medium. Of course, Chi Zhenzhu is more useful in this regard. What’s more, Chizhen Pearl can directly attack people’s most fearful memories, interfere with cognition, disturb the spirit, and even create hallucinations.”
"Your ancestors were able to give birth to such a terrifying thing." Xue Miyin was shocked just listening to it. "Then since you are connected to it, can you do the same?"
"No one can find such a powerful Chizhen Pearl now. It is said that this is also related to the field power of the Southern Kingdom. Who knows."
They walked for a while and were closer to their destination. Lord Shuangyue stayed overnight in a family by the river, and they kept walking along the river. She wants to go to the South Country, and she should do it differently from ordinary people. It would take several days for others to set off from here by boat, but as long as she took the tengu, it would only be a matter of seconds. Therefore, the two of them could not waste a moment. If you wait until you arrive and find that there is only dog hair left on the ground, wouldn’t all your previous efforts be wasted?
"The retinue of Mahuluojia knows how to resist such prying eyes to a certain extent." The snake said, "I don't know if she still holds the red pearl, so it's better to be careful. When dealing with her, you have to be aware of her. Act by ear when you don't notice it. It's worth noting that the dog is also worth noting. If you are discovered, focus on it and don't let the guy target you. In addition, although it is unlikely to deal with you like that...but you It’s better to be careful with the Demon-Sealing Blade.”
The friend talked nonchalantly, and Xue Miyin nodded. Her hand unconsciously touched the dagger.
"It doesn't matter if I really deal with you. The only one who can easily neutralize the Demon Sealing Blade's sword energy is the Demon Sealing Blade itself."
"So you didn't give it to that woman at that time?" Xue Miyin asked.
"That's one thing. On the other hand, this is already a gift from me. It's up to you to decide."
"I... have no objection. But where did you get this thing?"
"My Shura friends once told me that when the Demon Sealing Blade was first forged, no one could control its power. In the end, they tried their best to destroy it before suppressing it. Later, the previous one Lord Shuangyue practiced martial arts to the point of going crazy and became possessed by evil spirits. He mistakenly entered the Shura path, cracked the sealed part and brought it to the human world. As for the other part, do you know why the Shura people never dealt with it?"
"Because it fell into the world?"
"That's right." Phantom Snake clapped his hands and applauded. "This is a truth that can be understood with a little thought, but no one has studied it in depth for so many years. As long as you have this idea, it is not difficult to find it in the world. It's The last owner didn't know enough about the product and actually used it to cut hemp rope."
"……Hahaha."
For some reason, Xue Miyin couldn't laugh. She felt that she was not in a good mood now, which might have something to do with the person she was about to meet. She originally didn't want to see her again, and even if she saw her again, she wouldn't give up easily unless she fought to the death. But now for a deal, she not only had to meet that person again, but she also had to meet him secretly.
Before they visited Lord Shuoyue's residence, Lord Shuoyue came to the river alone, completely unaware of what would happen next. Beside her, there were two imps, one black and one white. They are black and white and come to deliver a message to her. Most of the time, what they convey are the most direct orders of Yama Demon, but occasionally they will send messages back and forth during the impermanence, but they have to go to Hades in the middle. Most impermanent ghosts don't want those trivial matters to disturb the adult, and no one would choose this inefficient method without deliberately contacting him.
The reason why I came to the river was because if I appeared in the front yard, I might scare the old man who took in Shigetsuki-kun. The old couple are both old and their end is approaching, and they cannot stand the trouble. Now that they have completed their mission, they have retired, leaving only the letter in Lord Shuoyue's hand. The letter came from Kanna-kun, which is a rare thing. The content of the letter is also extremely short, which is in line with Kanna-kun's crisp and concise style. What the letter said was to tell her to go to the South Country as soon as possible. They had already arrived first.
Lord Shuoyue understands that they need Snow Tengu to lead the way. After all, although the ancestor of Tengu is in the Rift Valley, it's hard to say where he will actually get there. Mr. Shuangyue didn't know if they had prepared a way to eliminate the curse. According to Kanna-kun’s personality, shouldn’t he be ready to think of a solution only when things are about to happen? Mr. Shuangyue doesn't really know him. He only knows that sometimes he is reliable, and sometimes... he is not so reliable.
"Hello, Sister Shuangyue."
Lord Shuangyue's hair stood on end. Just now I felt that there was an inexplicable chill in this summer night, but I didn't expect that a monster actually showed up, and it was an old acquaintance. Her hand immediately touched the handle of Ye Yinlu's umbrella, and a strong sword energy burst out the moment she pulled out the umbrella. The snake jumped back lightly, just in time to avoid it. Her figure and speed are like a snake swimming in the water, enchanting and agile, which is very contradictory to her slightly childish and immature face. She quickly approached Shuangyue Lord again, showing a provocative look.
Shuangyue Lord Hengshu asked: "What other evil ideas are you planning?"
"Don't be too angry." The snake raised his hand and said as if he didn't intend to do anything, "I came to you this time alone, just for one thing. Before Miyin left you, I accidentally left behind a piece of jewelry. It was an opal. You must know it. After all, you took it. You must also know that it belongs to me. I am coming to you now. I don’t ask for anything else. I want you to return it to its original owner.”
Shuangyue Jun was indeed stunned. She never thought that this day would come. What's more, the cat's eye stone has been handed over to Shi Wuqi.
Chi Zhenzhu couldn't see through her thoughts, and Lord Shuangyue was a little nervous. She should have noticed earlier. She did not make such an attempt on the snowy mountain. After all, the situation did not allow it. And she had reason to suspect that she had never come to see her in so many opportunities. Only this sudden visit was probably just a reason to cause trouble, and she actually had bad intentions.
"You didn't lose it, did you?"
The snake frowned, as if feeling regret, and there was even a hint of innocence in its eyes. Mr. Shuangyue knew that this was just a trick to fool people. She was wondering whether she should tell the truth. If she really came here for the family heirloom, wouldn't she bring trouble to Wu Qi?
She had noticed that the snake had eyes that were unique to snakes, and he was hesitant in speaking. It was true that the person who came here was evil, and she didn't know what other tricks she had up her sleeve. But time could not be wasted. She was thinking, should she not fight, but directly summon the Tengu and leave this place? But will this family be implicated?
Her head was filled with chaotic thoughts. At this moment, a small shadow suddenly passed between the two people.
At that moment, even the snake showed a look of surprise, as if he had not expected this scene to happen.
"Meow."
A calico cat sat upright between the two of them, making a soft meow at Shuangyue Lord and twitching its tail slightly.
"Miyin? Where are you?!"
Lord Shuangyue called out in confusion.
