Lord Shuangyue saw Xiao again in the Snow Inkstone Valley. They didn't agree on a specific time, they just thought "it's about time", so they all appeared at this time and place at the same time.
However, there was also the element that Akatsuki had been waiting for a while.
"I knew you were coming," Xiao handed the poured tea to Lord Shuoyue, "I guess you came here to try your luck and see if you can meet me? Please allow me to be moved without permission."
Mr. Shuangyue took the cup and said indifferently: "I knew you would think so. If you are as heavy as the mirror, you will definitely know that I am coming here; if you haven't come yet, then I am indeed worse than You arrive first, just wait for a while. I am much busier than you, so your speed should be much faster than mine. But I am also worried that they will make things difficult for you and not return the mirror... After all, things are not what they used to be, Xue The situation in Yangu has long been beyond my understanding. To tell you the truth, it is nothing more than the Six Paths of Impermanence in my ancestors, and the respect I receive from my master is just to save face. But if they follow the formality and make up the rules blindly, they will not treat your If I give you something, then this face should be of some use."
"You really prepared for the worst." Xiao picked up his tea cup and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just a mirror, no one cares about it. Maybe your original idea worked, and the mirror was just put away. Instead of being enshrined in some special place and having to be worshiped every now and then. In that case, it would be more difficult for me to get my things back."
"Nowadays, the situation in the world is unpredictable. Every step is risky, and no one dares to make a mistake. Well, since you have regained your body, can you tell me what you saw?"
"Oh, I really don't have a moment to spare." Xiao put down the cup and shook his head and said, "The integration of form and spirit will take a while. Even I can't adapt to these vast stars of information in an instant... …However, it is certainly possible to focus on one or two people individually.”
Mr. Shuangyue sighed and said in a helpless tone: "They are all old acquaintances, and they are no longer polite to you. You can see."
"I can say this because I have seen it. What's interesting is that I found that many people are heading in the direction of Death Shadow Pavilion...their distances and speeds vary. And the people in Death Shadow Pavilion, They are constantly being dispatched overseas.”
"The former doesn't seem to be news," Lord Shuangyue thought. "There are always people who yearn for the Dead Shadow Pavilion, and there are certainly not a few people who take action. The people from the Dead Shadow Pavilion have been sent elsewhere."
"No, you don't understand me. I mean...some specific people."
So Akatsuki informed Shigetsuki-kun about what he "saw", as he had no intention of hiding it. Knowing the whereabouts of too many people at once made Mr. Shuangyue feel overwhelmed. It seems that many things have taken shape, but I really don't have the skills to do anything. And Yun Waijing does not have the integration function on the time span, so Akatsuki has no way of knowing the past.
"But, that child named Yin Huan... is really going in the direction of Death Shadow Pavilion? How can you be sure?"
"This is a very understandable thing. Occasionally she will take some detours, but the goal is always in that direction. If there is a slight deviation, she will correct it herself. It is a bit strange to say that she does not have a map and cannot ask. , how did she know the precise location of Death Shadow Pavilion? This is too strange."
"This is what I am confused about. Unless..." Shuangyue Jun quickly thought of someone, "Unless Yingyue Jun is guiding her. Some time ago, she was indeed responsible for the child's movements. But now, this task Or is she the one to do it? Well, it’s not impossible... Liudao Wuchang’s manpower is getting increasingly tight, so it’s natural to assign this woman to it. But she is really not worthy of our trust, how can that adult still——"
"Even I can't understand what that adult is thinking. Yun Waijing can only see, not guess."
"I think we should tell her sisters the news. In this way, Ling Huan will definitely feel at ease. But what happens after that? Mr. Xie is determined to fight against the ten evils. This is a good thing, but the Ye family's These two girls... I really don’t know where they will go.”
"The good news is that they are all together. The fox demon brother and sister are also happy."
"Don't think I'm heartless," Lord Shuangyue said suddenly, "Although this matter is within my scope of consideration, the top priority is not their business."
"I know that. For you and me, that woman's movements are particularly important."
Lord Shuangyue couldn't help but raise her voice: "Can you believe it? She actually said that Lord Ruyue's accident was related to her! Attacking the Six Paths Impermanence is a serious crime. I don't believe she doesn't know such rules."
"She knows but doesn't care. This is the most troublesome. In this way, she is the most suspicious. Although she is quiet now, she just wanders around and doesn't even bother to compete with others. So far, trouble has come to her. She We haven’t taken the initiative to look for trouble...but this happened after Kisaragi-kun’s accident. We have to pay close attention to her matter.”
Mr. Shuangyue's tone softened a little: "With a reliable person like you, I can feel more at ease. The stability of the world cannot be maintained by the impermanence of the six paths... not to mention that there are some annoying disordered people among us. All kinds of things interfere. Sometimes, I often wonder what our efforts are for..."
"..."
Xiao didn't know what to say, she only knew that she should be comforting people at this time. But does she really need comfort? Not necessarily, she is not the little girl she used to be. She understands the truth of many complaints when she speaks them out. The two were silent for a while, unable to continue the discussion.
It's so quiet tonight. There were two disciples who were keeping vigil for them outside the door, but they sent them back. How could two people who didn't need to sleep delay ordinary people's rest? Mr. Shuangyue looked out the window and looked at the familiar scenery, but he couldn't express any emotion. It will be the new year in two days, but the valley is deserted, leaving only the temperature that should belong to the beginning of next spring. In the past, most of the disciples who stayed in Xue Yan Valley did not go home, or could not go home. Nowadays, there are many disciples here, and the world is so peaceful on the surface. Most people are happy to go home and reunite with their relatives.
It's not like there's no one in the valley. Those lanterns, couplets, everything that needs to be hung will be hung. It's just that there's not a trace of red in this dark night, which makes Mr. Shuangyue, who has no concept of time, even less aware of the traces of reality.
I don’t know how long I have lived, but everything has become like a dream. But even if these thousands of mortal world were really just a big dream, she wouldn't dare to relax for a moment.
"Anyway, you can rest assured. I'll keep an eye on Wei Donglin's side. She doesn't have any movement at the moment, and it's useless for you to look for her. It's better to inform their friends of Yin Yu's whereabouts first... If you weren't worried about Ying Yuejun causing trouble, This matter was not that high a priority.”
"Indeed." Lord Shuangyue pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "What about the others?"
"Mutsuki-kun went to visit the Master of the Hundred Skeletons... and then, he cut his blood and sealed his throat, and found Guixiangu. Guixiangu was cultivating herself in a quiet place. I don't know if she was injured or if she had any plans. "
"It's strange that she's not running around. I hope nothing happened. Mutsuki-kun brought the Six Paths Divine Weapon to find her, probably because he wanted to find out something. Mutsuki-kun has always been reliable in his work, so we don't need to worry too much. Others Where are the people? Is there any news worth paying attention to?"
"The dynamics of the Ten Evils are currently difficult to capture. They all deliberately hide their traces, and I still don't know about them at the moment."
"Yeah……"
Xiao vaguely felt that she wanted to ask some specific people. The flirtatious words and gossip were certainly worthy of attention. He immediately looked over, but found nothing. His abilities have not yet fully recovered, and his perception of information is really limited.
"If the missing pieces can be put back into place, all of this should be able to be seen more clearly."
"I actually... met the evil envoy of thieves."
"Ye Xuici?" Xiao was a little surprised, "When? Before I get the mirror body back? What are you looking for her for?"
The series of questions made her feel a little irritated, but she didn't complain. She was just confused and didn't know where to start. Seeing that she wasn't feeling very comfortable, Xiao didn't ask any further questions, just waiting for her own thoughts to calm down for a while.
"Can you see where she is?"
"Not possible for the time being. The Death Shadow Pavilion's spiritual field is complex and the formation is huge. She is hiding in it, so she can't just pry into it."
"Well...here it is: I negotiated a deal with her."
"Deal? You?" Xiao's expression became even more confused, "Six Paths Impermanence, and an evil messenger? Are you kidding me? I trust you, but I want others to see this scene...even let the woman say Go out, but just-"
"I know it in my heart. I know that she has always been concerned about the love-hate relationship with Lord Jiyue in her previous life, so she hatched a plan... Speaking of which, can you see where Master Lintian is?"
"He can. He has never deliberately concealed his whereabouts. For so long... he has been investigating the Death Shadow Pavilion."
"I went to see Ye Xuici with other plans in mind - I couldn't go in vain. Barriers were set up everywhere in Qinglize, but I still saw a clue from the air. There is a local spiritual site. It's very special, very...chaotic. I assert that that's where the corpse pool is, but it can't be seen with the eyes alone. And even if you want to come in from the outside world, it's probably not easy. Regarding this, I still Needed to meet him...so I had to find him.”
"When? I can help you at any time. But you haven't finished talking about Ye Xuici yet."
"Well, it's not just this one thing. In addition, I also want to ask him to enter samadhi for Ye Xuici... I know this is very dangerous, no matter from any angle. But many times, we can only take risks. She is a A smart woman is not like other monsters who sacrifice their lives for Lord Gaoyue. Therefore, the deal I proposed to her that the Death Shadow Pavilion cannot give her should be of great value."
"But what can you get?" Xiao was full of confusion. "When my eyes were blinded, I seemed to have missed a lot of interesting content. I believe that if you dare to make such a decision, you must have your own confidence."
"I want her to take back what we lost from the evil agents of greed."
