"How do I speak to her sisters? And the rest of her family, and her friends?"
Master Lintian looked at the hideous scars on Shui Wujun's face and didn't know how to answer. It had only been an hour since they met, but he had already sighed countless times. He never imagined that Shui Wujun, who was originally chasing Yingyue Lord, would be injured like this.
For Zai Wuchang, recovery from any serious injury is just a matter of time. This is true even for scars caused by resentment. However, due to the characteristics of the Six Paths Divine Weapon, even if those wounds healed quickly, they still left eye-catching scars that could not be eliminated. Shui Wujun's face was originally delicate and beautiful, but his face was a little thin and petite, which made the slanted wound even more abrupt. From the brow bone on the right to the chin on the left, the knife mark almost split the face in half.
More than that, it's just a visible, attention-grabbing injury. Her arms and body were riddled with holes, leaving marks that would never recover. Master Lintian didn't need to ask, but he could guess it. And the murder weapon that caused all of this was in Shui Wujun's hands. She sat there casually, sticking the tip of the knife into the ground, as if she was holding a cane instead of a straight knife. It can be seen from her movements and demeanor that she doesn't care about these traces at all.
Her scowl said something else.
"How should I speak, how should I tell?" she asked again.
"I just discussed the next step to go to Death Shadow Pavilion with her sisters and friends, and you burned the letter and gave it to me to tell me this heartbreaking news. To be honest, I have no way..."
"I have never experienced the pain of separation and death from my loved ones, but I have also experienced moments of losing important people. You have also witnessed that scene. Even after so many years, those memories have not faded a bit. On the contrary, time has washed them away. It is clearer and cleaner, making that precious feeling and the pain sharper. Master Lintian, can you understand?"
Shanhai didn't answer. How could he not know this feeling? He wanted to say that the friends who witnessed the tragedy with them at that time did not even say goodbye now? But, needless to say, how could Shui Wujun forget it.
"Ordinary people's lifespan is shorter, so this kind of parting has reason to be even more painful. It's just..." Shanhai paused, "Well - from your description, Miss Ye Yinhuan... voluntarily stood in front of you?"
"She didn't have to die."
"She didn't have to die," Shan Hai repeated, "but she still had resentment piercing her throat."
"And until the end, she never made a sound. I am convinced that Lord Yingyue really left her body, or that she gave up. Otherwise, she would definitely turn the tide and save this hard-won body. It seems that Guixiangu really used her own methods to completely drive her away from Yin Quan."
"Is that really the case?" Shanhai said suddenly.
Shui Wujun looked at him puzzled. "What's the meaning?"
"Most of Yingyue-kun's soul resides in her bones, that is, the half of the bone mask. Now, it should be in the hands of Yingyue-kun - if he didn't hand it over to other places. Consider it. As she still has a ray of soul attached to the paintings in the Death Shadow Pavilion, she may still have the ability to split her soul. After all, she is originally made up of several scattered souls. Although saying this seems to doubt the ability of Guixiangu , but I am afraid that only she herself can detect whether the part about Yingyue-Jun in Miss Yinhua's body has been completely dispelled."
"You mean, it's very possible that Lord Yingyue has a part of her soul left in Yin's body?" Shui Wujun was a little confused, "Could it be that the part that belonged to her controlled Yin's body at that moment, making her... …”
"No, I don't think so. Even if she can leave something behind, it shouldn't be enough for her to gain control of her body, even for just a moment. If it was that level of weight, I believe that the Ghost Fairy Girl at the time and Lord Kotsutsuki who were present I can all detect it. Now I have some ideas, but..."
"But what? You should just tell the truth. Now I don't want to think about all the twists and turns. I have always been a killer, and the only thing I am good at is killing people."
"Actually, I'm not sure... If my inference is true, I'm afraid Miss Yin Huan is much smarter than we thought. Where is her body now?"
"I...used some privileges and asked Black and White to help preserve her body. I didn't want her body to be exposed in the wilderness and have nowhere to put it. Therefore, her body was temporarily hidden in the underworld, and it was neither rotten nor bad. Of course, this is not the case. A long-term solution. I just want to... return her to her relatives relatively intact."
"What you are holding in your hand now, apart from the magic weapon she gave you for safekeeping, is the sword that you won by defeating the evil mouth?"
"Yes. At that time... I gave up everything to fight with him. Although the evil angel kept irritating me, and even so, she would not survive, but I still couldn't calm down the anger at that time. After what happened to Uoyuki-kun, you know , I didn’t want to use the immortal body of the Impermanent Ghost too much, but I couldn’t think too much at that moment. I just wanted to kill him, not to mention revenge, but more like venting my anger. After all, he was not the leader of the Nine Heavens Kingdom thousands of years ago. The monster was defeated in the end. But he escaped, and all I could get was this sword."
Shanhai was silent again for a while. He put his hands away and paced back and forth in the room. This is a dilapidated, neglected temple. The thick dust on the ground showed the messy footprints of the two, and the cobwebs in all directions were still condensed with morning dew. The sun was getting higher and they would soon disappear.
"This knife... you must know that a person injured by resentment can still be traced by his owner even if he travels to the ends of the earth. You have been injured by it, so even your whereabouts will be traced by the knife. The master learned that this is very dangerous for the impermanence of the Six Paths. Even if you are shattered into pieces and reshaped into a human form, these scars will stay with you forever. This is far more terrifying than the impact on your appearance."
"I know." Shui Wujun stared blankly at the knife in his hand, "But it's because I know. You must remember that Guixiangu said that these weapons must be destroyed. Before they completely disappear from the world, I have to guarantee It is in the hands of a safe person. If necessary, I can keep it forever. I don’t believe in the Death Shadow Pavilion, and it is a well-known fact that Gaoyue Lord had an affair with Lord Koyue."
"I feel like Miss Yin Huan is betting on something. I thought before that she was betting that you would get the knife back. But that's not necessarily the case. Maybe it's not in a hurry. If one day, the bad-mouthed evil envoy will be eliminated. In this world, there is still a chance for Resentment to return to the hands of her friends."
"...?"
Shui Wujun tilted his head. She fell into a brief thought. For a moment, the spark of thought flickered. But she wasn't sure, and couldn't connect it all. Just now, her thoughts were led very far by Lintian Master, but she didn't know how all the fragmentary things were related. It seemed like she was about to think about it, but not yet.
"Similarly, Eclipse records herself."
"ah……"
Shui Wujun suddenly raised his head.
According to Rin Shanhai, Yin Quan, who was attacked by resentment, was just like him. No matter where he went, his movements would be detected. If there is still a part of Yingyue Jun in her body, then she will also be marked by resentment, and she will no longer be free no matter where she goes. But if resentment can track the soul itself, can it also be tracked into dreams?
As if seeing through Shui Wujun's confusion, Shanhai said:
"The specific situation can only be known by analyzing the resentment. But in this way, Miss Yin Huan is too bold. She dared to pay the price of her life for these problems that we have not determined yet..."
"She could have only suffered damage to her hair and skin due to resentment, without having to sacrifice her life. Maybe the sword had no eyes at the time, but as you said, how could she dare to gamble like this? This really doesn't look like the she we know."
Come and try it quickly. 】
"We only know each other, but in fact no one knows her well enough. Compared to ordinary people, she has never spoken, so she hides more than we think. People around her have always taken her things for granted, and no one has ever Really think from her standpoint. Perhaps the only person who understands her best is her sister, whose blood is thicker than water. How to convey these things is particularly important. As for resentment... I think, maybe, she knows more than us. Many. This information is probably learned from Yingyue-kun."
"this……"
"Actually, it's conceivable." Shanhai stopped, holding his chin and said, "If the resentment only hurts her body, then the only thing that can be traced is the location of her body; if the resentment takes her body Life, that is, the soul is injured. At the same time, Yingyue Jun's possible remaining soul is also injured. In this way, it is no longer difficult to find the impermanence in the elusive dream. ."
"How could she think so much?"
"No matter what she considers, in fact, these are all possible. Of course, the top priority is to immediately analyze the spell of resentment to find out whether her body and Yingyue-kun's soul can really be captured. I suggest that The resentment brought to Shi Wuqi, he must have a way to deal with it. But... I don't know if we can successfully hand the knife into his hands."
After saying that, Shan Hai turned around and looked directly at the candles burning beside the table. When was this dusty, almost burned-out candle lit? And who lit it? Regarding the second question, both people present could only give a negative answer.
Shui Wujun suddenly raised his knife and quickly extinguished the flames.
"Eavesdropping is never the right thing to do."
"Since you are a killer, you should stop talking about these two words, right?"
Lord Kutsutsuki sat behind the empty altar table, looking at the two of them with interest.
"Your analysis is very exciting, but it's a pity that I can't give you this opportunity for the time being. I'm sorry, but I have to get the Resentment back. That kid is a brat after all, and he still needs some time to fight against the six paths of impermanence. However, since he He has successfully taken revenge, and the rest is left to him to figure out on his own. I am afraid he doesn’t need the knife that much anymore. So I came to recover it, and I hope this colleague will give me some face and don’t let the matter get out of the way.”
"Do you want to die?"
Shui Wujun's voice was cold and ferocious. Shan Hai remained silent, but his stern eyebrows also showed his attitude.
"Master Tian, don't keep it there. I want to borrow your Duanchenhuan for use."
Shuimu-kun couldn't sit still anymore, she raised the knife in her hand and was about to fight with Kuchtsuki-kun. Master Lintian stopped her with one hand, but still didn't say a word. He just stared at Kutsutsuki-kun. He knew very well that when this person appeared here, he would definitely have more to say.
"Don't be excited. You should learn more from the Heavenly Master...for example, listen to what others say. Of course I won't lend you things unconditionally. You - you should be in a hurry to go to Death Shadow Pavilion, right?"
