The White Skeleton Master's Eclipse Palace opened again.
It's said to be open, but it's just that the person in charge has finally returned. In the past, this place was quite lively after all, and monsters would visit every now and then. Each one brings their own needs, each one carries a remaining hope. Sometimes, the Master of Bones realizes needs and ignites hope. Sometimes, the best he can do is just give guidance.
Even so, he is indeed respected, whether he is a human being in the orthodox sense or not. He hadn't returned for a long time, and there was a long queue of monsters with requests. When he comes back, there will be a lot of problems to solve. But in reality, he had far fewer problems to deal with than he imagined. Many monsters knew that he would not be able to come back for a while, so they thought of other ways to solve the problem. In this regard, sometimes the obsession of monsters is much weaker than that of humans. As for people, they always get into trouble and can't get out. They feel that this matter must be done here and this person must do it. At this time, even eight cows couldn't pull him back.
Knowing that he was back, the monsters came to the door again. Of course he would help with whatever he could handle. If he couldn't handle it, he would just tell him and he wouldn't waste anyone's time. Fortunately, the monsters who can find him are not desperate, and they can make some unusual considerations because of his personality. Sometimes, some monsters are actually very innocent. Before their problem could be solved, they learned that the Hundred Skeleton Master was also facing some new difficulties, and they actually offered to help.
Shi Wuqi was just joking, saying that so many dead monsters that "lived" in Xiguangque had not yet been put to use, so there was no need to bother the living ones. Before you die, try your best to live on, so that you can be on call when I need to trouble you, right?
Almost all the monsters knew that there was another female corpse beside the Hundred Skeleton Master.
No different than the rumors from the distant past. She is a beautiful girl who is somewhat similar to the previous corpse, but yet different. Appearance is not what the monsters care about, but the two really have no souls, so it is really difficult for everyone to distinguish them. Those who can help are still helping, and monsters are sending scattered bones and rotten meat one after another, but there are very few parts that really belong to the corpse itself.
During the previous ceremony, the remaining spiritual power in Lord Ruyue's body had completely dissipated, and he could no longer respond to any inquiries or touches to any extent. However, after the ceremony, some of the recalled spiritual power was condensed again, but unfortunately it was no longer the part of Kisaragi-kun in the past. She can move, but cannot speak, and can make expressions, but cannot respond correctly. Most of the time she would fall into silence due to the restrictive spells, and when she entered a periodic active state, she would appear extremely irritable and aggressive. But it doesn't matter, Bai Skeleton Master can control the situation.
When he thought that this was a commission from Yama Demon... Shi Wuqi still had a headache.
How should I put it? Is this called a good beginning and a good end? He remembered clearly that he finally agreed to let Kisaragi-kun become Kisaragi-kun. However, after that, he is still responsible for Kisaragi-kun's survival, which is what he promised. He can do this without even making a promise. Even though the meaning of doing all this is no longer as responsible as it used to be, or...as simple as it used to be.
He used a scraper to gently peel off the excess clay on his arms and readjust the shape. Miss Zhu Tong's handiwork is good, but there are still some deviations. The person who knows her best is still Shi Wuqi. He knows the correct proportion of each part. He dismantled all the parts that were hardened into porcelain, and reshaped and fired them using the finished pottery clay provided by Shiying Pavilion. He checked the mud, and there was indeed nothing wrong with it...unless Zhu Tong had used it before, but there was no point in worrying about it. As for the burning part, the Hundred Skeleton Master, who returned from hell and has survived far longer than people think, certainly has his own methods. No one else needs to worry about this.
He removed the eyeball that originally belonged to a human and looked at it for a long time. Of the two eyes, only the left one belongs to Kisaragi-kun himself, and the other one cannot be found. She still had to keep the one that belonged to her, but not the other one. There can't be too many parts that don't belong to her, otherwise what really belongs to her won't be able to return to its place. Her composition will be very chaotic, and the other parts mixed in are all impurities.
When he took out the eye that he didn't know belonged to, he found a small note under the eye. He pulled it out and found it covered in tiny, red writing. He immediately understood that this was left by Zhu Tong. She roughly guessed that the body would eventually fall into Shi Wuqi's hands, but she didn't take back the note or the charm. Was it because he didn't find an opportunity to take it away, or was it a deliberate provocation? Shi Wuqi is currently unknown. As a monster, he really didn't know much about Onmyoji. He temporarily took out the note, put it aside, and then continued to think about his eyes.
It can't be empty, right? Like myself, it’s strange not to look good. But you can't dare to put anything in it, as this may cause unknown troubles. After thinking about it, he decided to make one out of clay as well. As for appearance, imitating her left eye is enough. Now it is not difficult to make the porcelain white, but the color adjustment effect of the pupil must be consistent with that of the left eye. I am afraid it will take many attempts. Moreover, this right eye can only be a decoration and nothing else.
While he was fussing, a rare guest came into the building.
"Hey, you can sit down wherever you like... I really don't have any space here to entertain you."
The space mentioned by Shi Wuqi includes time and space. It's too messy here, with tools and mud scattered everywhere. This is not like the style of the Lord of Bones. Mutsuki-kun didn't say hello when he came here, and he didn't expect any standard reception. He just stood aside, holding his tin stick, and calmly looked at Shi Wuqi who was busy with his homework. Mutsuki-kun's long black hair in the past was cut off - Nirvana completely burned and consumed it, and now he only has short hair. The ends of his hair were cut randomly and were a little uneven, which made Shi Wuqi look a little uncomfortable with it. I don’t know if Mutsuki-kun has the ability to adjust these, but he is not someone who cares about this. Maybe he will maintain this image for a long time to come.
"Now that you are familiar with it, there is no need to say polite words." Shi Wuqi fidgeted with his weak limbs and said, "You must have something to do if you take time out of your busy schedule to come here. What are you talking about? Just say it bluntly, sorry for my poor hospitality. Your lord really trusts me - and can really find a job for me."
"Once you say something, it's hard to follow." Mutsuki-kun said with a smile.
"Do you think it's okay if I don't agree?" Shi Wuqi also smiled, "Otherwise, the master will want her to be destroyed. My love is probably dead, but because of this... I shouldn't Let this innocent consciousness dissipate along with the second death of this body. All this is my fault. I have nothing to say since I took responsibility. If you complain, you can just listen."
"what is that?"
Mutsuki-kun did not answer him, but instead cast his gaze on the distant table. There was the note that Shi Wuqi had casually placed there before. Mutsuki-kun raised his hand to his lips, recited a curse, and the note floated in his direction.
"Just in time, please help me take a look. This is the charm I found in Lord Ruyue's eye socket. It should have been left by Zhu Tong."
"It is written in human blood," Mutsuki-kun said immediately, "It is used to balance the parts belonging to different people. These components should all be distributed in Kisaragi-kun's body."
Shi Wuqi's hand movements temporarily stopped. He straightened up, patted the soil, and said helplessly:
"Tsk... I know they did some tricks. I'm afraid they mixed the ashes of the owner of the blood into the clay. Otherwise, how could pure tomb soil be so well coordinated with human parts. As the saying goes, it's better to be buried in the ground. Where are there so many people who voluntarily provide the remains of their loved ones? There are probably many lonely ghosts who died unjustly. I don’t know if this girl’s cleverness is just playing on her own, or if it represents the will of the Dead Shadow Pavilion... At least Gao Gao Yuejun allows her to come, which means he acquiesces to everything she does."
Mutsuki-kun carefully put the note away and told the Hundred Skeleton Master that he would save these dead souls. And the real purpose of his coming here is actually to bring a magic weapon - a Tridacna bracelet.
"You really brought something extraordinary!" Shi Wuqi sighed with emotion, "Don't you know that the incense burner is still in the Erosion Tower? If this happens, if that adult finds out, I'm afraid he will be punished."
"No." Mutsuki-kun shook his head slightly and said, "You and I both know that the aggregation of these magic weapons requires harsh conditions and strict rituals. Except for those with ulterior motives, that adult will be extra vigilant. Both you and I can Those who believe. Even if they do have various risks... such as being taken away by others. But this is a special period, so there is no need to be overly vigilant. Tridacna can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, soothe the mind and maintain health, and it should have a desirable effect on the current Ruyue Lord... ."
"...Thank you, Mutsuki-kun."
The two of them sat down and chatted about the recent situation. To Shi Wuqi's surprise, Mu Yuejun brought bad news: winter had come, and attacks by living corpses had appeared in many places. This matter has not yet been resolved, especially in winter, when the epidemic becomes particularly rampant. Based on the analysis of the area and specific circumstances of the incident, it is unlikely that someone, such as the people from the Shadow Pavilion, maliciously poisoned the place, but it is not completely impossible. After all, they are so proficient in concealing the truth from others. But assuming that no one is causing harm, it is not impossible that those hidden diseases will break out again and spread rapidly with the new year. He and the other six impermanences had to pay more attention.
"Master Lintian... is also working on this. He has never let down his guard this year. In this way, he has foresight."
"He really doesn't have a moment to spare." Shi Wuqi shook his head.
"You are not much different from him." Mutsuki-kun said, "Kisaragi-kun's absence at the moment has indeed made the work of my colleagues more arduous. Many things can only be entrusted to you. I won't say more. , I just took it as a break when I came here, and there are still many things to do next..."
Shi Wuqi sent him off for a while. The stars at night are like thousands of lights, complementing this fake town that is too quiet. In the forest of pale walls and dark tiles, they stood on a small boat and passed silently through the water. The moment he crossed the two bridges, Mutsuki-kun turned around and suddenly said to him:
"If you don't have an answer now, you might as well ask in the future."
Shi Wuqi was startled, feeling vaguely that he had something in mind.
