Wearing a weapon that did not belong to her, this woman stepped back into the realm called Wanren Mountain.
Before the snow line, there was an unknown amount of wind and snow here. As she walked like this, she didn't leave a single footprint on the snow. Her tall and withered figure, dressed in black, stepped on the white snow, passing silently like a vertical shadow. The falling snowflakes were falling, but they could not hit her body. It was like a thin and transparent long coat, covering her from head to toe. The long dark gray hair is always dark gray and can never cover this flawless pure white.
She raised her head and looked at the dim sky without saying a word. The sun is about to set, but it seems that dusk cannot come here, or the brilliance of sunset cannot fall on this pure white snow. The sky was getting darker and darker, and it was now a hazy gray, like her long hair that almost fell to the ground.
"You're back," it was a familiar voice, "with something that doesn't belong to you."
Rather than being a human being, it is better to say that he is a tool spirit - or that he once was. Xiao, who was wearing a bronze mask, stood not far behind her. It was unknown when he followed her, or when he discovered her. There was nothing between them except the cold snow.
"Um."
Wei Donglin admitted calmly, placing his hand on the special wakizashi. She said nothing, and the dark pupil on the right could not reflect the color of anything.
"Can you still see out of your left eye?"
Xiao slowly took a few steps closer. Neat footprints appeared on the snow, but the wind and snow were slowly filling them up. Wei Donglin finally stopped, and the distance between the two gradually narrowed.
"As expected, you came back this time to suppress the cold energy in your body." Xiao asked, "After you got the Demon-Sealing Blade, you didn't seem to get its approval. Even you are impatient. For If you exert more power, your yin and yang will definitely become more unbalanced. If you don't think of a way, your left eye will be completely blind."
Wei Donglin's other hand reached out to his face and lightly touched the hard ice shell. Her nails tapped lightly on it, making a slight "click" sound, but the sound was naturally drowned out by the wind. She took a deep breath of cold air and said lazily:
"Ah...that's exactly it."
"You guessed it right."
"Did you see that?"
Wei Donglin turned around, only turning his normal face. Her almost pure black eyes were like a starless night, but at that moment, there was indeed a strange cold light flashing through her eyes. This wasn't much of a threat to Akatsuki.
"I can't see it, you should know it." Xiao explained, "I said, I'm just guessing. And it's not difficult to guess. Just like the purpose of your coming here, I don't need to do it. Speculate a lot.”
"Since you are here... Tianquanyan must be here too."
"I don't know why you are so sure." Xiao said seriously, "I don't know when the Tianquan Eye will appear. It has no rules and may appear anywhere. Sometimes it stays for ten days and a half, sometimes it only lasts for a while. It’s time to eat. I haven’t deliberately observed or recorded it, and I’m even more ignorant about it.”
Wei Donglin took off the Demon Sealing Blade, held it in his hand and observed it for a long time.
"If you hate me for taking away your old friend's weapon, you can say it in a less tactful way."
"I don't hold a grudge against you, and I didn't make any insinuations." Xiao shook his head, "It's your fault that you can get it. Whether Lord Frost Moon gives it to you, or you rob it by force, or you have some conspiracy, that's all. It’s your ability. However, you are suspicious of everything. You only believe in your own power. However, being overly superstitious about power is not a good thing.”
Wei Donglin only felt noisy.
"I recognize your past life. You are not his direct reincarnation. That person died hundreds of years ago. After that, such souls have been various things. But when it comes to you In this life, he became a person very similar to him. It was just like this that he was so crazy about martial arts that he went crazy. He mistakenly entered the Shura Path, obtained this thing, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of the six impermanences. And all this was not his intention. "
"oh."
Her response was as cold as the frost and snow in the sky.
"I think you already know all this."
"I know."
Wei Donglin turned around completely and looked directly at the unobstructed weapon spirit.
"The Demon-Conquering Pestle is not on you." Xiao said, "It doesn't look like you forgot to bring it. After all, it is not difficult or simple to seize it from the Zuojimen led by Kannawu-kun. It is very useful to you, you It’s impossible to give it up. Unless…there’s something worth trading for it.”
"Comparatively speaking, that magic weapon is very dangerous to me." Wei Donglin finally started to say something seriously. But she seemed to be tired from standing. She relaxed, arched her back slightly, and her head was forced upwards as if hanging from her neck. This appearance made Xiao feel too familiar, and his uneasiness even increased.
"I don't think the Demon Sealing Blade is safer." Xiao said.
"No," Dong Lin shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I no longer need it, and I can't need it. Indeed... it embodies the ultimate martial arts of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign martial arts masters, and I also used my own strength to participate in it. Enlightenment. However, you said that I am the only one in this life who is very similar to that man... Do you think this is destined since birth? "
Akatsuki stated: "I cannot evaluate the fate of mankind."
"Exactly." Wei Donglin sneered, "You have seen all kinds of people in the world, and your arrogance has been exhausted before you reach the point where you are now so suspicious of seeing through. And the demon-conquering pestle has only been in my hand for a few years. Do you know... …How have I spent all these years?”
"You rely too much on it and you become what you are today."
"It depends on me!"
Wei Donglin suddenly raised his voice, Xiao was slightly startled, and was actually shocked. At that moment, all the surrounding snowflakes seemed to stop beating. Is this some kind of magic? They don't know. But no matter what, it was only a brief moment.
"It relies on me." Wei Donglin's voice fell back to its lowest point. She murmured: "It relies on, or is attached to, me. It seems to be alive, rooted in the depths of my soul, and has the most direct dialogue with me between living things and dead things."
"Sure enough," Xiao frowned, "The Subduing Demon Pestle has preserved Lord Shuangyue's martial arts."
"You don't understand that feeling. You are just...another dead thing." She showed a pale smile, "You must know that there is a plant in the desert that will completely lose water during drought and turn into a ball. Ugly hay. They turn into light corpses, rolling forward with the wind. Until they pass the water source, they will suddenly wake up and root their roots firmly into the earth. Even if it is just a shallow shoal, it It can also draw strength from the scarce water source and cut through the sand and gravel with its weak root system."
"..."
"I am that kind of water." She said lightly, "I am its water, it needs me, it is rooted in me. Because I am the most suitable carrier... It is the familiar soul of its once-in-a-lifetime experience. Container. I feel so intimate with the martial arts it possesses, which can be called mine. I am also like a thirsty person touching nectar, and a hypothermic person welcoming candlelight. I even, even saw him, saw that A familiar figure, and everything he has faced - he has even been an enemy of a dragon. Although at first his outline was like a black dragon. But as my ability improves, the figure that is so similar to me becomes more and more Make it clear."
"Real objects do have the ability to carry memories. Humans will also use this method to restore scenes or obtain secrets." Xiao took two steps closer and said, "You saw your previous life - before he lost Before his name, he was indeed an assassin known as the Black Dragon. He was as powerful and flamboyant as a dragon, but merged with the shadows and was silent. Until now, he can be called the strongest assassin in history, despite his far-reaching reputation. It’s not in line with the training of a good assassin.”
"You are right." Wei Donglin nodded slightly and continued, "But, what does this have to do with me?"
Xiao was a little surprised.
"What...what exactly do you mean?"
"I don't need the Demonic Pestle anymore. That thing is just a carrier after all. Everything it wants to convey to me has been conveyed. In just a few years, we have completed the fusion of spirits. Perhaps for many people, This powerful magic weapon is still something that people compete for, but to me it is just an empty shell, worthless - like a corpse without a soul." Wei Donglin's expressionless face seemed a bit mocking, " You probably don’t want me to follow in his footsteps..."
"Because he will regret it." Xiao said firmly, "So will you."
"Tsk."
She showed contempt on her face, showing that disdain clearly. She was arrogant and said:
"Then, you are right - let the future me regret it. I will let the Demon-Sealing Blade choose me too."
"……What?"
Before Akatsuki understood what she meant, she suddenly raised her wakashi. At this time, the sky was almost completely black, with only white particles falling continuously from the sky. And at the moment when Donglin waved the Demon-Sealing Blade, all the floating snowflakes turned back toward the night sky under the leadership of a mysterious force, as if "snow" was falling from the ground to the sky. Even the snow on the ground was lifted up by this force and rushed into the sky.
There are no stars tonight, the snow is just billions of pale stars.
Xiao's vision was disturbed. He raised his arms and struggled to observe Wei Donglin's movements through the gap. He vaguely felt that at least Wei Donglin had understood the Demon-Sealing Blade to a certain extent, and he just had to pull it out of its sheath. In the direction where the snowflakes were pouring, there seemed to be a gray crack, which was slowly and slowly expanding laterally.
Tianquanyan is really here! Xiao's heart was empty and she stood helpless. He couldn't stop this from happening, and he didn't even know what to be shocked about and what to regret. He vaguely felt that today was not the day when Tianquanyan originally appeared, but she used the power of herself and the Demon Sealing Blade to prepare to tear it apart forcefully.
"Tianquan is the common treasure of all living beings in Mount Ren!" Xiao said loudly, "If you break its inherent laws, are you going to make all the living beings here pay the price for your greed?!"
"I am greedy."
If it weren't for the half ice cube that almost fixed her entire face, she might still be smiling sarcastically. At least, Xiao could hear something from her unusual tone of voice.
"However, I won't let anyone else foot the bill for me."
The wild wind enveloped her, her feet gradually left the ground, and each long hair trembled like ribbons. She was wrapped in sharp ice crystals, soared into the air, and ran towards the unknown thing that really looked like a giant eye.
"I will take it."
