Chenxing didn't know whether her plan could be completed step by step, but at least she still had a plan.
Before leaving, Lord Bai Skeleton gave her some advice. It's more of a simple explanation than a suggestion. He lit the smoke from the incense burner, added medicine with unknown ingredients, and recited some chants that even Chen Xing could not understand. The prophecies of the incense burner seemed to come as they pleased, but this time, fate favored them - the smoke filling the incense burner showed some special scenes.
Everyone saw a person, to be precise, an impermanent person.
In the middle of December in Huangquan, there is always only one violinist wearing a black curtain and no hands under his sleeves. When Shi Wuqi saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, as if he was relieved. But his face was still full of sorrow, and he didn't look like he was fine.
"It's Mr. Jiyue!" Ling Huan blurted out, "I've seen him! With... Mr. Xie and the others."
"I know him too." Chenxing said, "Will we have a chance to meet him?"
She Zishu and Ye Yinquan just looked at me and I looked at you, and seemed to have no right to participate in this discussion. What emerged from the hazy and soft smoke screen was a three-dimensional figure that was almost like a living person. Originally, they thought that what appeared in the incense burner would be a flat, mirror-image prophecy. She Zishu stretched out his hand tentatively and touched the long sleeves of the silent "Jiyue Lord". All she could touch was a puff of cool smoke. The smoke slowly dissipated, and the colors belonging to the human form were also blurred. She Zishu took back his hand and looked at the small area that he had destroyed. Not long after, the spreading smoke from the incense burner restored it.
There is a reassuring light fragrance in the air.
The Bai Skeleton Master, who had been pondering for a long time, finally raised his head again. He looked at the phantom in front of him and said hesitantly:
"Hard to say."
"It's hard to tell?" Ling Huan didn't understand.
"Although a concrete figure did appear - he just stood quietly, as if staring at something. The prophecies of the incense burner usually do not appear in purely static scenes, and maybe he really did nothing. Apart from him, there is no one else. We have very limited information about the other people. Except for Long Miao, the formation includes five candidates. Jiyue-kun may meet any one of us. I have only been away from him not long ago, so... ...We won’t meet again in the short term. If we meet him again, I’m afraid it won’t bring any good news.”
"We acted together... maybe the four of us saw him." Zishu said.
"Maybe, he brought something important again." Ling Huan was looking for words, "Wouldn't this be one step closer to Lord Ruyue's recovery?"
Shi Wuqi sighed softly: "It's not that simple. There is no leisure in the six realms of impermanence. No matter how important it is, if he has nothing personal to say, he will ask someone or something to send it to him. I think what I should say is related to He has said it all, and if he comes to see me again, he will probably not bring any good news."
"It's not certain." Chenxing, who had been silent for a long time, finally said, "Let me ask you, when did the scene mentioned in this prophecy happen?"
"Judging by the burning incense... it can take as short as three to five days, or as long as half a month."
"Can't it be more precise? And where?"
"Xia Chen, the question you asked is still too harsh for me." Shi Wuqi said with a wry smile, "Only the true owner of the incense burner can know the most appropriate use of it. Of course, the Gandharva has already I was driven back to heaven and became depressed. All the current methods of using stoves were discovered by me alone. It is not easy to achieve this step."
"oh."
Chenxing didn't show too much gratitude, or she was tired of doing so, and the Hundred Skeleton Master didn't care.
There hasn't been much progress in Kisaragi-kun's recovery. Perhaps it is very valuable for her to be able to collect 30% of the materials she has now, not to mention that the connection in the middle is difficult to deal with. Some things can never be found, and everyone including Shi Wuqi knows this. Even if she can regain her activities and regain her consciousness in the future, will she still be able to remember her complete self and complete others? It's hard to say. However, they did not dare to delay for a moment.
Long Miao did everything he could to help, and he was extremely benevolent and righteous. He and the girls parted ways with Master Bai Skeleton at the same time, and Shi Wuqi would also leave here with Lord Ruyue in the near future. Long Miao was going to find Uoyue-kun, which was going in the opposite direction to Chenxing and the others. At this time, Xie Zhe and the others were about to say goodbye to Lord Mao Yue. Some unlucky things happen because of fate.
They will miss each other, maybe more than once.
Several people said goodbye to each other, but everyone avoided talking about Kisaragi-kun, as if counting her as a human being was an inappropriate joke. The Ye family sisters and She Zishu followed Chenxing on the road. Chenxing asked Shi Wuqi if the prophecy about the incense burner was a result that could not be avoided no matter what. Shi Wuqi gave an affirmative answer. He told them that based on experience, regardless of whether the person involved knows the prophecy or not, and regardless of whether the person involved practices it or avoids it, in the end, the scene shown by the incense burner will be fulfilled in reality. However, it is such a short episode, and sometimes the facts may be somewhat different from the meaning it conveys. But at least that scene will definitely happen.
In other words, one of their two "teams" must meet Lord Jiyue. No matter what, this is good news. It is much better to meet familiar old friends than strange enemies.
Ling Hu still had a glimmer of hope in his heart. How she wished Jiyue Lord would meet Xie Zhe and the others later. In this way, he can also point himself in a direction. If it wasn't too far away, she could bring Yin Quan with her to meet them, so as not to cause any more trouble to Chen Xing. Although she didn't complain about anything along the way, everyone knew that Chenxing was by no means good at taking care of others. During the time when Ling Huan was ill, her so-called "gentleness and considerateness" had been fully demonstrated, and no one thought that she had more patience.
However, before meeting Lord Jiyue, new troubles arose.
The good news is that they were also old friends.
The bad news is that old friends can also be enemies.
This is just an ordinary restaurant, run by an ordinary storekeeper, and only served by ordinary customers. Today, it seems to have received two waves of distinguished guests from afar. The distance between the two tables was neither far nor close, but just enough for all of them to see each other's positions. Especially when Chenxing's eyes fell on the demon-conquering pestle that seemed to be deliberately revealed, her right eyelid seemed to jump untimely.
The sisters of the Ye family buried their heads deeply. They had met the two people over there before. Although the timing is different and the reasons are different, in the end... they all have some small grudges.
These two words are probably from Xue Miyin's perspective.
This distance did not allow them to see Miyin's expression clearly. In fact, she had no particular expression. She gradually learned to hide her emotions in her heart instead of putting them on her face. This was also Sprite's advice, and she felt it would be beneficial to listen to it. In the past, she put all her emotions on the table. It's hard to say whether she has suffered a loss or not, but she tends to believe that she will suffer less in the future.
For example, now... if those guys can't figure it out, she can at least feel better.
She still holds a grudge about Ling Huan letting go of her hand. She imagined many revenge scenarios, but when they actually met again, she couldn't think of a single way. It's not that she is really compassionate, but...
Those two people, no matter how you look at them, they all look very similar.
It's hard to believe they weren't born to the same mother. At a glance, at least from this distance, it was difficult for her to tell who was the older sister and who was the younger sister. It was difficult to judge from the smell, because there were many people here, and they were sitting too close. The snake can probably do it. The breath she "smells" with Xinzi is much more accurate than her own.
This was not a pleasant dinner. Both parties seemed to have restrained themselves for a long time before starting a fight in the store. And they didn't eat much, so it was hard to tell whether it was because they had lost their appetite or because they were leaving some room for the strenuous exercise that followed. Only Shezi looked around without knowing why. She wanted to ask "what's going on", but she could still distinguish the atmosphere, so there was only silence.
There were six people in total, and with a rare tacit understanding, they put down their chopsticks at the same time, walked out of the shop at the same time, and walked in the most remote direction at the same time. There are fewer and fewer people on the road, and there are only a few lights around. As they walked, Chenxing whispered to Zishu:
"Take the two girls and leave."
"Why?" Zishu asked unabashedly, "I have wanted to ask for a long time, what is the situation with those two people?"
The two people she was talking about were naturally Liangtan and Qiyu who were following behind. They kept a subtle distance, which just revealed their purpose. It can basically be concluded that they did it on purpose. Not starting a fight on the spot and bringing the whole restaurant or street into chaos was already considered a kind of kindness from the snake.
Really……?
Chenxing did not answer Zishu's question immediately. She was thinking that, according to the character of the snake, and the weapon on her waist - if it was a genuine Subduing Demonic Pestle, she should have nothing to worry about. Either she hasn't had time to exert the power of the magic pestle, or she must be afraid of something.
The biggest possibility: fearing the power of Liulixin, who is also a magical weapon.
No, in this case, She Zishu should not be allowed to take them away...
"Did you hear that?" Zishu patted her sleeve.
Chenxing remained silent and slightly adjusted the curtains that were tilted due to his rapid pace. She had to think of a solution. These two guys are obviously here for Ling Huan, they are really determined to give up.
Although it wouldn't matter if they were left here - it wouldn't even have any impact on her plan. However, Chen Xing only has a dislike for human beings at best, but it cannot be said that he hates them. She has not yet reached the point where she will not save anyone she looks at.
Finally, they came to a deserted area.
This is a dead end.
Chenxing stopped, turned around, and looked directly at the two people behind him. At this point, She Zishu no longer expected to take the two girls away. There was no other way, Chenxing didn't say anything, and she didn't have any ideas of her own.
"Where did the Demonic Pestle come from?" she asked directly.
"Eh? When was it your turn to ask me questions?" The snake tilted its head and smiled maliciously, "Logically speaking, we reasonable people should be the first to speak."
"Where did the Demonic Pestle come from?" Chenxing continued to ask, "I remember it was in the hands of a female warrior."
"I thought you were going to say it was at the Zuofen Gate. Oh my, how do you know this is the real thing? What if it's a fake? Haven't you ever thought about it? Or... there is some kind of magic artifact between them. Where’s the resonance?”
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chenxing pulled out the ring-shou knife and pointed it directly at the two people opposite. The girls of the Ye family stood behind her, not daring to say a word. Ye Linghua clearly wanted to explain something, but she clearly realized that before doing so, the two people opposite would probably give her no chance to explain.
