When the sky was dark, the rooster crowed three or two times, and Ling Huan opened his eyes from the bed. Wenying was still asleep. She used to wake up very early, but now she learned to sleep in when she was with them. But Ling Huan didn't sleep well. She didn't know why, but she had been panicking in her dreams for the past two days. Although she forgot what she saw in her dream after waking up, her trembling heartbeat after opening her eyes always reminded her that she must have dreamed of something terrible before.
Could it be some vicious monster? In the past two years, she has seen a lot of the world. She has not only seen the monsters and monsters that huddled in her boudoir and could only learn about them from story books and the mouths of the elderly, but she is not even that afraid anymore. For her, the most terrifying thing now is those things that look like humans but don't behave like humans.
She was afraid of waking up Wenying and wanted to sleep a little longer, so she washed her face quietly and prepared to go to the lobby to find the waiter for some food. The inn had just opened, and the store was still empty, but there was one person sitting closest to the stairs. The man wore a moon-white gauze hat, and the long curtain went over his shoulders and blocked his face. There was only a pot of tea on the table, and the waiter who served the tea stood far away from the counter, with his hands folded in his hands. His expression was as awkward as if he was looking for trouble when greeting guests.
"Ah! You, you are..."
The woman wearing the curtain raised her head and looked in her direction. Ling Huan couldn't see her face clearly, and his eyes moved to the copper-ringed sword at her waist. She doesn't know why Chenxing is here. Is it a coincidence or another reason?
Just when she was about to go downstairs and walk over, Chenxing suddenly said:
"...It's not you."
"What?" Ling Huan stopped in place.
"Call Xie Zhe or Zhongli. It doesn't matter." She paused and then added, "Don't come down again."
If an order is given out of nowhere, everyone will feel confused and even a little dissatisfied. Why does this woman dictate what she says to everyone? But Ling Huan thought that she should have her own reasons, so she stopped asking, nodded stupidly, and turned back. She went to knock on Xie Zhe's door and happened to catch Han Shang coming out. When Ling Huan said this at first, Han Shan still found it unbelievable, but Ling Huan was not a person who knew how to joke. So according to Chenxing's request, the two of them went downstairs to meet her without knowing why.
As soon as they turned the corner of the stairs, they saw the familiar gauze hat. Han Chang had noticed her scent earlier, but he was not familiar enough with this person, so he recognized her for a while, and could only confirm it when he saw her in person. The two of them walked downstairs quickly. Unexpectedly, two new cups of hot tea were poured on the table.
"Let's get straight to the point," Chenxing said, "Are you going to Death Shadow Pavilion?"
Xie Zhe and Han Zhang looked at each other, wondering where she got the news.
"Where did you find out..."
The two of them never completely let go of their wariness towards this person. After all, she is a woman of unknown origin, with a dangerous magic weapon on her body. She will be alone in the world from now on, right? I don’t know where she got the news. It's not that I really have any objections to her, but it's not that good things will happen if such a troublesome person comes to her.
"I know that Master Lintian is checking the Death Shadow Pavilion. I also know that he has looked for you. From the end of August to the beginning of September, you marched all the way towards Qinglize. But you have not crossed the spiritual veins, I I guess it’s because I don’t know how to find it yet. You are still waiting. Waiting for Master Lintian to contact you.”
She still spoke slowly and paused frequently. But what she said was right, so Xie Zhe had to admit that they were indeed planning to go to Death Shadow Pavilion.
"Since you ask, you must know what happened there."
"They hide and use shadows." Chenxing said, "I want to find them too."
"What's important to you?" Han Chang asked her, "You have to make it clear, otherwise it will be difficult for us to trust you. In this case, even if we know something, it's not easy to tell you like this."
Chenxing agreed readily: "I will tell you. This is one of the reasons why I am looking for you. Let me ask you first, have you ever thought about why the evil messenger with bad words was born in this way?"
The two were startled. The evil mouth's current name is Liu Wu, and Liu Wu was once a great demon from the Nine Heavens Kingdom. They now know clearly what this guy has done. As his best friend, the reason why She Ji has been working for the Shadow Pavilion may be related to this. But why he appears in the current era with his current appearance is unclear to them.
They shook their heads, and Chenxing continued:
"It's been like this for a long time, I think you can figure it out. I'll tell you the truth. At that time, Luowu was very ambitious and wanted to summon the gods to gain power. He almost succeeded in the end, but was betrayed by the monster of Kalingbinga. Destroyed in one fell swoop. He had collected all the magic weapons and almost succeeded. And he was the only one who could make the magic circle to summon the sky. Even his friend She Ji knew nothing about this magic circle. Know."
"How did he know the drawing method and power of that magic circle?" Xie Zhe thought, "He shouldn't have figured it out by himself. To achieve such an effect, this magic circle will not be better than Mahuluojia's magic circle. It’s simpler. Even so, even Wuyonglan couldn’t crack them all. Was he such a wise monster in that era? Then how could he act so recklessly..."
"We have no way of knowing about these. But now you should be able to understand the purpose of Death Shadow Pavilion."
Speaking of this, the two of them already knew it. But at this point, they still couldn't believe it.
"You mean, they want to recreate that terrible formation by restoring the memory of Li Wu? This, this is really unbelievable. Regardless of how great its impact will be, is that sir, going to let this happen? Did something happen?"
Han Zhang suddenly said: "It's hard to say. Didn't that Lord not pursue the matter of resurrecting Lu Wu?"
"So this is not a resurrection from the dead." Chenxing said clearly, "It's just a trick to put memories into the body. Such a soul, after being washed several times by the flow of reincarnation, has nothing to do with the original monster. However, Guixiangu's shadow may really be able to... cover that adult's eyes."
"Then there are no Six Paths of Impermanence to take care of?"
"We don't have enough manpower..." Xie Zhe answered Han Chang's question, but his tone was not sure. "But if there is such a plan, it is definitely a big deal. Logically speaking, they should deal with it no matter what. Or does that adult want to take a long-term view?"
"In the final analysis, whatever their plan is, it has nothing to do with me. I think Master Lintian either acquiesces that you know about this matter, or feels that it is not the right time. I don't have the patience, so I will tell you directly. Because to me, if this Waiting for things to happen would be detrimental to me personally. My life has depended on this piece of glass for hundreds of years. This world is neither interesting nor boring. I have thought about dying, but it is definitely not the way of waiting to die. "
Xie Zhe nodded.
"I understand. In other words, you want to take the lead and come to them before they are ready. After all, they are already doing something secretive, and it is difficult not to make people suspicious."
"I guess Master Bai Skeleton also knows," Han Chang shook his head, "They two really think highly of us."
Xie Zhe didn't want to think too much about Han Chang's words. He said to Chenxing: "In this way, I can understand your motives. But how do you want to act? Do you want to go on the road with us, or..."
"Don't be anxious for a while. I also have other things to do and more preparations to make. You may remember that I once walked with two girls. One is the woman in red, and the other is the reincarnation of Kalingbinga."
"That is……"
"She's dead."
Chenxing's words seemed to be an understatement, but they were like a thunder that made their eyes turn white. The tone was too irrelevant, and it might have been their misunderstanding. In an instant, they thought of many things, and the scene finally settled on Ling Huan looking for them for no apparent reason. Han Chang almost subconsciously wanted to refute her, but immediately recalled that Ling Huan said that she was only looking for the two of them.
"You'd better be joking." Han Chang felt a lump in his throat and said with a trembling voice, "Some things should not be said carelessly."
But he also knew very well that Chenxing was not a joker at all.
"Is there any misunderstanding in this? Is the news accurate? Could it be that we have made a mistake? We, this..."
Xie Zhe was a little flustered. At this moment, he desperately hoped that Chenxing's information was wrong. Maybe she said that on purpose, she was lying to them...but what good would it do to her? No one wants to admit such a thing. Han Chang quickly thought that if he hadn't reunited with his sister yet and someone brought such news, whether it was true or false, he would be heartbroken the moment he learned about it. They couldn't feel any better now. Moreover, how should they tell Ling Huan about this?
Or don't say it at all?
At that moment, the two of them thought of too much.
"There's no benefit in lying to you. I won't do anything that doesn't benefit you."
"She, how... why did she..."
"It is the revenge of bad words. Although it is just a body with memories, this obsession cannot be ignored. Although I am quite disdainful of the love and hatred in the previous life. But since we have walked together, it can be regarded as a friendship in this life. To For that child, the most important thing is the safety of his sisters. When I saw the girl, I had the illusion of seeing her again. Protect her."
As she spoke, she pushed forward a small note. Xie Zhe took it silently, unfolded it immediately, and suddenly had a troubled expression on his face. Han Chang leaned over and took a look, then he knew what was going on.
"You all should know where the safest place is for her."
"No. I, we...I-"
Xie Zhe could no longer speak. An inexplicable panic surged into his heart. It's not worry, it's panic. He can't explain why he feels like this. Instead, Han Chang let out a heavy sigh, looked away, and patted his shoulder wordlessly. Xie Zhe's hand exerted a little force, and the note was crumpled in his palm.
"...Speaking of which, something unusual is about to happen again."
Chenxing also sighed deeply, but the curtain was not lifted at all. She put her hand on the hilt of the knife, and at the same time, the inn welcomed its second guest today.
The moment Lord Xueyue entered, the door slammed shut.
The waiter at the counter wanted to say something, but was frightened by the sharp look in his eyes. He crawled and hid in the backyard, not wanting to be involved in the disputes between these gangsters.
"I have to say, there are so many old acquaintances here."
He laughed heartily.
