The bright blade penetrated the slender neck, and blood spurted out and splashed on Shui Wujun's body. The extinguished afterglow is not as bright as the flowing blood, as if there is nothing else in the world that can compete with it.
The scene stopped at this scene. Then, the woman's face, hair, and collar slowly twisted, as if the rippled water surface caused the reflection to ripple gently. Everything presented on the smoke screen gradually faded away, and the last thing that disappeared was the rather confused face of the deceased. The misty smoke caused a sad smile to appear on her lips.
"This is what the incense burner showed me."
After that, Shi Wuqi used a pair of dark chopsticks with gold rings to pick out an irregular crystal from the incense burner at hand. It looked like a huge, dyed lump of salt, or like a small part peeled off from some kind of ore. He put the dark green crystal into a delicate locked box. In the box, there are many similar crystal nuggets with different colors.
"I have been looking for a way to preserve the phantom of the incense burner, and now I have finally done it. Although the number of times these phantoms can be traced back is limited, it still provides a lot of convenience."
After that, Shi Wuqi locked the box again. The two people watching remained silent, just sitting on their chairs, both falling into silence. Strictly speaking, one of them was blind and did not really see anything clear.
"So you knew earlier that Miss Ye Yinhuan was going to die here?"
Lord Jiyue asked.
"yes."
"And the scenes shown by the incense burner are all irreversible things that will definitely happen." Shanhai muttered, "So even if you see such a scene, you can't say anything."
"That's right. But I never thought that all this would happen so quickly."
Lord Jiyue asked again: "When did you know about this?"
"I knew it before the battle with Wuyonglan."
"...It's a shame you pretended to know nothing." Lin Shanhai pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed helplessly, "We all let you hide it. It's a shame you didn't leak even a single word. .”
"Whether I say it or not, the result will not change. I will just cause her sisters and friends to suffer and suffer. In comparison, I might as well be a villain who knows but doesn't say anything. At least I can give them more hope." A few days. Now that the deal is done, there is no need to hide it anymore. But I can't open this mouth, otherwise I will sincerely create trouble for them and only cause fear."
"They... are not such people, but I can understand your concerns." Shan Hai shook his head and said, "But this shadow is real, and the girl really deliberately stood in front of the knife. If she didn't want Shui Wujun to be injured, then this It's meaningless - in order to avenge her, Shui Wujun has been damaged by resentment and became like that. Even if the sword is destroyed one day, the scars may not disappear."
"We have no way of guessing the girl's intentions. After all... you have already handed over Duan Chenhuan."
】
"I know you must have your own plans," Lord Jiyue shook his head, "but I still want to say, you are so brave. It's all thanks to you that you handed over the Six Paths Divine Weapon to Hongxuan Changye. Yes. If it were anyone else, people would think you were stupid or in collusion with that monster."
Even Shi Wuqi said this: "I am also quite surprised that you actually made this deal with him. I don't know what he is going to do. It means Shui Wujun trusts you and agrees to give the knife to you. You know , her whereabouts have been recorded by resentment, and she is also carrying great risks. You'd better really have some basis, rather than just betting."
"I know this trust is very valuable." Lin Shanhai said seriously, "I do have some gambling elements, but for the time being... I'll call it a sure thing. After all, there is no better way besides this. Just listen to me. ——”
Lord Xueyue's deal was very simple. They just exchanged two of the Six Paths Divine Weapons in their hands with him for the method of finding Death Shadow Pavilion. It sounds difficult to judge whether this is fair enough, but Kutsutsuki-kun's words allowed Shanhai to confirm some information. In fact, Lord Xueyue didn't know why Death Shadow Pavilion suddenly opened the barrier. The Shadow of Ghost Fairy Girl is indeed in the hands of Lord Gaoyue, but logically speaking, it is just a "tool" for safekeeping, and it may fall into the hands of anyone in the future. It was unexpected and reasonable for the Death Shadow Pavilion to use this thing for itself. In doing so, they must be trying to deceive others.
After the barrier was activated, Lord Satsuki's confidants were indeed in the barrier and had never left and could not leave. But not everyone stayed inside. It stands to reason that each of the five monsters has their own business to do. No matter how close they are to Death Shadow Pavilion, they are at least on the vast Qingli Ze. Logically speaking, if there is any big plan, all five of them should be present. But there is one person who is still living outside, and that is the scorpion demon Jie Yan. Maybe she was too far away, or maybe the plan didn't require her to stay in the Shadow Pavilion, or even deliberately allowed her to connect with the outside world. Of course, this is something you can’t know for sure without asking yourself.
Also uncertain are the actions of the other two evil angels. They should all be within the control of Death Shadow Pavilion. The evil messenger of bad words, now named Liwu, is now so far away from his best friend She Ji, which makes people feel incredible. In addition, Ye Xuici, who has close ties with the Death Shadow Pavilion and is even employed by the thieves here, should not have been wandering around for so long.
"Ye Xuici was 'invited' to leave by Shen Wujun," Shi Wuqi recalled. "She left to investigate Zhongli Wenjiu for Jiaomo. But after that, she couldn't go back. There is definite news. , but she really didn’t go back. And according to what Jiao Mo said, at least at that time, even Shen Wujun didn’t notice anything unusual about her."
"And Luowu left on his own initiative." Jiyuejun said, "According to Shuiwujun, he went to trouble Miss Yinluan to settle his old grudges in his previous life. In other words, he is still There are no reliable clues to judge the intentions of Death Shadow Pavilion."
Shan Hai picked up the tea cup and said hesitantly: "Kuchue Lord also knows nothing, at least that's what he claimed. He said that he knew Xie Yan's whereabouts and would go to ask her personally. He and the Pavilion Master have been friends for hundreds of years. He is an old friend, but he does not interfere in their respective affairs. Many situations in the past have also confirmed this. But there is such an incident where he frankly admitted that he had an alliance with Satsuki-kun."
"What's up?"
"He has no scruples about exposing his purpose - he wants to introduce new six-path impermanence. Lord Jiyue should also know this." After Lord Jiyue nodded, Shanhai continued: "Now there is a vacancy. The positions are Uzuki-kun in April, Ryouzuki-kun in July, Hazuki-kun in August and Shigetsuki-kun in November. The position of Kisaragi-kun in February has been kept for the time being due to your efforts. If he wants Expanding power and introducing new impermanence proves..."
"He's going to kill her someday."
The three of them were now silent. Some words cannot be understood without following the reasoning. But now that we have thought about this level, the conclusion is obvious. But what are the specific conditions for becoming the Six Paths of Impermanence? It's hard to say - rather, it's very subjective, and only that adult can determine it. Could it be said that Lord Xueyue's need for the Six Paths Divine Weapon has something to do with this?
"August is coming to an end... If there is no action in the remaining few days, it will be November. But we really can't tell his whereabouts without human prying eyes. It's just a trivial matter in the world. With how many days we have left, People are already exhausted.”
"His plan was known to Lord Gaoyue and he provided help. We don't know what it is exactly yet, but we can only believe that they must be connected. But the matter of Kaiying's barrier in Death Shadow Pavilion is also in decay. It was unexpected by Yue Jun. He was kept in the dark just like us. He didn't know what the plan was, but he just didn't want those things to affect him. Strictly speaking, the shadow of Death Shadow Pavilion was nothing. It’s a conventional barrier, so even the Demon-Conquering Pestle cannot break it. Because rather than isolating it from the outside world, the current state is more like it has come alive and is hiding in the shadows that no one knows about.”
"This is...are you willing to believe him?"
"One of the reasons. Although he is cunning, he is very pragmatic and will not rashly expose things that he is not sure about. The most important thing is that he told me how to find the Death Shadow Pavilion."
"any solution?"
Under Shi Wuqi's gaze, Shanhai slowly took out a fragment of something. After Shi Wuqi saw it clearly, he couldn't help but take a breath of air. Lord Jiyue felt a little confused. He stretched out his hand, and Shanhai put the fragment into his hand. Lord Jiyue clenched his palms slightly and felt the irregular outline.
"...Yun Waijing?"
It has been distorted by the fire, the edges are no longer sharp, the colors are colorful and muddy. But there is no doubt that this is indeed one of the fragments of the bronze mirror. It was much larger than Ye Xuici's, but it could only be barely grasped with one hand.
"It... still has the remnants of spiritual power, which is just enough for me to identify it. However, I can no longer 'see' its appearance at all. Otherwise, when I first saw you today, I would have known about you Hiding something."
Shi Wuqi stretched out a finger, pressed it on his temple and rubbed it. He almost didn't have the strength to do anything, so he just turned his head slightly, which was considered to be a massage.
"I remember...Xiao was dead, and his remains, the mirror body of Yun Waijing, were missing at that time. No one noticed it, and even if they wanted to look for it afterwards, nothing was found. I never thought that they were It was taken away by Lord Xueyue. Now in his hands, he has almost all the fragments of Yunwai Mirror. Of course, they can no longer be pieced together. Lord Xueyue also left one of these fragments in the Death Shadow Pavilion. .”
"That is to say, he himself could have contacted the Death Shadow Pavilion in this way? If so, it is indeed much more believable. But... speaking of it, didn't Ye Xuici also have such a fragment in his hand? I'm afraid that at that time Akatsuki's death should have dealt a huge blow to her ability."
"In the final analysis, she is also an evil messenger, but this is not the only method." Lin Shanhai looked at Lord Jiyue and said, "But it is true that she also has such fragments in her hands. I wonder if she can think of going back in this way - she You may not even know that Lord Xueyue left fragments in Death Shadow Pavilion. So I want to entrust you to communicate directly with Ye Xuici. I know this is a bit difficult for you, after all, she was so obsessed with you, but... also That’s exactly what it is, and I hope this situation can be put to good use.”
Shi Wuqi teased: "The majestic Lintian Master can actually encourage others to deceive their feelings."
Shanhai did not object, but Lord Jiyue did not respond. He just lowered his head and stared blankly at the pitiful fragments in his hands with his hooded eyes.
