A white wool blanket is spread on the dark brown wooden table, and the soft fluff is surrounded by solid transparent stones. The incomplete amber was placed on the table in front of me.
Shi Wuqi stared at it with no expression or words. Some things don’t need to be said out loud, others can hear them clearly. Xie Zhe, Ling Quan, Han Sheng and Wenying were sitting at the table opposite, and no one dared to look at him. The scented tea on the table was no longer emitting heat, but no one touched the cup.
"Well, actually, I've heard about these things."
His tone was calm. Maybe it's because he already knew that he can seem calm now.
"us……"
"You have tried your best." Wu Qi interrupted Xie Zhe, "No matter how much you regret what has happened, it will not help. There is still a lot we can do and a lot that can be changed. There is no need to blame yourself, my friend. They. I am still grateful to you for entrusting me with this important thing. Thank you for your efforts to explore the entrance of the Eclipse Light Que."
"..."
Ling Huan could hear the heaviness in these words. They can all hear it.
Han Zhang said: "We were unable to contact Lintian Master, so we had to leave it in your hands. This thing is shocking to us no matter what. We are also... very sorry for passing on this grief to you. "
"What are you talking about? It doesn't matter!" Wu Qi laughed, "It's the magical weapons that are dangerous on you, right? After all, once the news spreads, greedy people and monsters will regard you as targets. It's even more troublesome. It is indeed too close to the incense burner here, but I still have contacts with Master Lintian, and I will be able to entrust it to him soon. However... it has been damaged a lot, and a lot of power They are all gone. When it was first broken, its communication function was still effective, and that was because of the closed spiritual field of Silk Cloud Peak. Now, it no longer seems to have such an ability."
"Its power is indeed much weaker. I can feel it..." Wenying said worriedly, "If we took it out for treatment at that time, would my brother's eyes not be cured?"
"It seems that the wound can still be healed. Although no one knows what the core of this water bladder is, but if it has not been destroyed, it should still be..."
With that said, Shi Wuqi opened the drawer in front of him and took out a small, sharp bone knife. He neatly opened his arm, and red blood immediately overflowed. This scene shocked them. But then, the amber on the side gave off the familiar blue light. The same sheen spilled over his wound, which healed quickly. Only one drop of blood seeped into the white blanket, leaving an indelible mark of red.
"It seems that ordinary people can't always rely on the power of magic weapons." Han Chang said again.
"That's right. No matter which one they are, they are not considered human beings. Using them will inevitably increase the burden on the body. This kind of erosion is invisible. To be more serious, it may damage the soul."
"this……"
They were silent for a while. Wenying picked up the scented tea in front of her, took a sip and put it back again, as if she had nothing to do. Suddenly, Han Chang stood up and walked towards Shi Wuqi, taking off the dagger from his waist.
"There's something..."
Shi Wuqi spoke directly for him: "You want to return this sword, right?"
"..."
Han Chang moved his lips slightly, but didn't say anything, just nodded lightly. Xie Zhe and Ling Hu were somewhat surprised. He had never mentioned this matter on the way here. Only Wenying knew her brother well enough, so she looked much calmer.
Shi Wuqi didn't look at the dagger, but stared at Han Shang with his only remaining eye.
"I know you have too heavy a burden - indeed, this sword carries many so-called faults belonging to you, but that is just the sin you think you have. Could it be that if you give it back to me, you will never be able to do it again? Do you feel guilty? I'm afraid you are oversimplifying things. You will feel better if you stop our transaction. For the sake of our friendship, I will not pursue what you have been doing for so long. Moreover, I don’t mind taking over this heavy burden with my own hands - think about it, I have to share another burden with Master Lintian. But are you really sure that this is what you want? "
"I can't face it." Han Chang said frankly and tiredly,
"Whenever I see it, I'm reminded... that I can't have peace even in my dreams."
Her blood, his tears, none of that happened in a dream.
"I have no will to fight anymore - I can never get it out of its sheath in the shape it should be. As for the eyes... I will pay for it."
"You don't understand me."
Shi Wuqi shook his head again. He gently pushed Han Shang's sword back on the table and said:
"I have also lost a lot of things - well, although this friend is something I never thought about. Or, I thought about it, but I thought I could accept it. Although it is true, it is accepted... quite quickly? Maybe? I have experienced so many life and death separations that I feel a little numb? This sounds really sad. In fact, the time I spent alone in hell may be longer than in the human world, and it is precisely because of these interactions in the human world that everything seems to be... They are all so prosperous and so slow. I do not accept the suspension of this contract because it is not yet time. To be honest, from the smoke screen of the incense burner, I see the shadow of the future again. You will still need it, so it cannot be Now."
Han Chang didn't feel too much regret. Perhaps he knew deep down in his heart that doing so could not change what had happened. He knew better that all these actions were some kind of escape. Along the way, his friends finally came out of the shadows and cheered up to constantly encourage him. He didn't want to live up to his friends' expectations, but there were some things he could do just by not wanting to.
All right! He reluctantly grabbed the sword and withdrew silently. After that, no matter how he drew his sword, it would only be in the form of a dagger. Since the Hundred Skeleton Master still doesn't accept it, he can only continue to accept it. Even though it was always so hot, every time I touched it it seemed like I would burn my hands to blisters. Should he be so afraid?
"Speaking of eyes..."
Shi Wuqi opened the box on the other side and grabbed something from it. Several people came over to take a look and found that it was a broken gem. The cracks on it are so deep that it seems like they can be completely destroyed with just a pinch, making it impossible to put them back together again. But precisely because it was not completely broken into slag or powder, they could still identify that it was once a beautiful cat's eye stone.
"It shattered, the day you killed Two Tongues."
"Is it……"
"You are really powerful." He put the gem back and continued, "The evil angel is really no match for you, which is really surprising. You will remind me of my past... How nostalgic. . I just said dryly that I understand how you feel. It may not be convincing, but I have actually experienced similar things. Feeling sad, confused, painful, and doubtful are all normal things. There is no need to criticize yourself. The important thing is that you friends have never accused each other. Isn't this a valuable thing? How many people have formed deep hatreds because of two disagreements, and how many people have drawn swords against each other because of the short-term interests in front of them. Deception and betrayal are things that happen in the world. You are already extraordinary enough."
"...I don't want to be that extraordinary."
It was Ling Hu who said this. She probably had a lot more to say, but in the end she only said this sentence.
But enough is enough. This almost complaining murmur was enough for everyone present to understand what she wanted to express. Xie Zhe knew what she was really thinking. Even if she never really complained about anything, he knew that Ling Huan was accusing himself all the time. From the beginning, he thought things were too simple.
But looking for family is obviously just the simplest wish, isn't it?
"Well - something good happened." Wu Qi broke the stagnant atmosphere and said: "Master Lintian will come to take away the magic weapon soon. And... I have new news to tell you. I also know that you will come."
"What's the matter?" Xie Zhe asked.
"There is nothing wrong with the evil messenger of lies."
Upon hearing this name, several people's hearts sank. But since the Hundred Skeleton Masters said it was good news, it should...
"Don't be too nervous. You should remember that there is a woman named Shen Wenzheng? She has been investigating Wuyonglan's whereabouts."
"Shen, Mrs. Shen?"
"That's right. Not only her, there are many people within the Wuyong clan who fight against lies, so there are also many assassins, spies, and onmyojis hired. When you are fighting against the other ten evils, this group should not be underestimated.
strength, and also made some achievements. Judging from the results...should I say they are gratifying? "
The four of them thought this was incredible. In the few encounters they had with Wuyonglan, although he was not invincible, he was difficult enough to deal with and impossible to eradicate. Like an annoying flea, you can't see it and can't catch it, but you know it's lurking somewhere, ready to suck your blood.
"Is she, is she okay?"
Ling Huan is more worried about Mrs. Shen's personal safety than anything else.
"She participated in a sabotage operation, but managed to escape unscathed. I don't think she would have taken the job if it was fatally dangerous. She also has a daughter to raise. When you didn't know, she told dozens of lies The puppet workshops were destroyed and put into a state of inoperability. I also heard from the monsters that infiltration wasted a lot of effort. Some of it was robbery, and some of it was outsmarting. This kind of work is almost done at the same time. Time progresses, so even if he has actionable clones in many places, he may not be able to do it. Although the puppets that have been made are still for his use, there will be no new threats in a short period of time. And considering that he will The remaining troops were gathered, and the warehouses and transportation channels were also controlled by the elders. More information...are you interested in hearing it?"
