"How did you..." How did you get this token? He originally thought that the three feathers had become ownerless things, rotting quietly in an unknown place.
Only when Lu Yin Xuejian was still alive, he would occasionally use it to communicate with himself, and even in a long time, the number of times could be ignored.
But she is dead, so no one should hold the token anymore. Then there is only one possibility.
"Actually, Mr. Shuangyue and I have met several times." Cangyu smiled lightly, waved his feathers and said,
"This thing was also given to me when she last met me. I'm not sure if she sensed anything at that time... But at that meeting, we didn't need to help each other. You know, Impermanent popularity is very important. She sometimes comes to me to ask questions, just like she sometimes comes to you. Similarly, very rarely, I will need her help. And that time, we just chatted about daily life, and the whole time At night. I'm afraid it's a waste of her precious time. But it's just the blink of an eye for an immortal thing." Now is not the time for small talk.
Lord Uoyue knew that he and his nominal brother had not seen each other for a long time. It's not that they have no contact at all, it's just that compared to their respective contacts with Shigeyuki-kun, the length and number of encounters are negligible.
The two are almost messengers from different worlds, so they don't have much to say. He doesn't hate Cang Yu, never.
Now, Cang Yu, who has inherited his father's responsibilities for hundreds of years, has become more stable and mature than when they first met.
"What are you doing here? It's dangerous here. And you're in a safe place."
"Safe?" Cang Yu laughed,
"You have been walking with Qinghe Canhua for a long time. Don't you know that there is such a saying? There are no eggs left after the nest is overturned. No matter where I am, when danger is present, I shouldn't turn a blind eye, right?"
"Do you know what's going on here? It's too complicated, and I can't even explain it for a while. Besides... it can only be regarded as a human crisis. You can rest assured that you will be the master of your side, and nothing will happen." Hopefully.
Cang Yu's chuckle at the beginning turned into laughter. It's really strange that he still looks so young even after so much time has passed.
He was still wearing a flawless white gown, no different from when Uzuki-kun had seen him every time. In comparison, Uoyuki-kun, who was his younger brother, had an unknown sense of vicissitudes of life on his face.
This shouldn't be the difference between a demon and a half-demon.
"why are you laughing?"
"Did you know? There is a big monster with a peacock outside. The two of us chatted very well, but unfortunately the time is really limited. So, why didn't he become the leader of his side and instead made the same decision as me? Same choice?”
"Kong Lingbei...how did he-"
"Of course I know exactly what is going on, we all know it. Although the distance is so far, someone told us. The news spread quickly, and someone brought the information out from inside - The Master of the Hundred Skeletons hopes that among the monsters Who can try to rescue you and find me personally? Finding the Harpy group is indeed the wisest choice. Presumably, as the shopkeeper of the Eclipse Palace, he has already gotten wind of this information."
"What's the news?" Uoyue Jun still didn't react.
"Besides, I don't understand. Regardless of you, why are monsters willing to lend a helping hand to humans? Most monsters are persecuted by humans, or are human persecutors. Some of them are just forced to integrate under the pressure of survival. Humans have no love for humans. I have never seen many monsters like this in my lifetime that have close feelings for half-demon or humans."
"That's right. So most monsters just find this chaos very interesting. We have witnessed with our own eyes how humans go crazy under the influence of evil views... Many monsters hope that humans will decline in this catastrophe and return to the mountains. Go back to the cave and exchange positions with the monsters. Even so, many monsters still choose to lend a helping hand to Shopkeeper Shi. This is not because we have been favored by him, but - as long as we are smart enough, we should do This kind of choice." Isn't it possible for Lord Maoyue?
One of the "smart" ones. He knew exactly what Cang Yu meant. He knows better that most monsters are just because
Only those who are "not smart enough" would party without permission. Of course, this does not mean that they
"madness". He, Cang Yu, and even the people trapped in the shadow barrier almost all knew what the root cause of this catastrophe was.
people
"Too much" - even the adult Kuchtsuki-kun said so. It can be said that not only humans, but any species, if its number and density exceed the carrying limit of the environment, disaster is bound to happen.
There are many forms of catastrophes, including internal wars caused by resource snatching, natural depletion that cannot sustain the survival of the group, and even the birth of the Ten Evils.
If the identities of humans and monsters were swapped, the excess monsters might cause terrible things.
so,
"Smart" monsters will choose the best position - even if it is not necessarily true for their status.
"correct". Whether they are monsters that simply want to compete with humans for territory, or monsters that help humans through the Hundred Skeleton Lord, they are all self-interested in nature.
Selfish desire is not unique to humans, but only humans regard it as a flaw and thus a contributory factor.
The embodiment of "evil".
"But, how can you help us - help humans?" Uoyue Jun really doesn't understand what Cang Yu can do for them just by coming here.
Even if the tribe under his jurisdiction came here, it would probably be of no help, let alone him alone.
But he also knew that Cang Yu would not die in vain. Maybe, there really is some kind of
"The magic weapon to win".
"Master Bai Skeleton asked me to bring this." Cang Yu turned his fingers deftly, and the token in his hand suddenly changed, from a feather to a large ball of white down.
The down was scattered between his hands, and a dark round stone appeared in his cupped hands. Lifting, to be exact.
Those fluffs did not disappear, but quickly carbonized and evaporated the moment they touched its surface, and the dark powder disappeared in an instant.
Obviously, it can be judged from the appearance that this is the egg of some kind of bird. The egg is so big that it cannot be lifted with one hand.
Although the outline is a standard egg-shaped oval, the color is not white or beige, but a shimmering black.
On the dark ink-like surface, countless fine golden rays of light shine dotted, even though it itself is not displaced at any angle.
It's as if those luminous powders have a consciousness of their own, flickering with the breath of life within. Even without touching its shell, Uzuki-kun could feel a steaming heat. It must be that the outside of this egg has a temperature that cannot be touched.
"Where did you find it?" Uoyue-kun was so surprised,
"It's more than just a legend..."
"There is indeed a lost Golden Crow in the world. The Golden Crow never sleeps, and when it falls into dormancy, it returns to the form of an egg. As long as we try to promote its hatching, we can break the barrier of Qingli Ze. Perhaps, it should be said that Qinglian Town Bar."
"Is this also the plan of Lord Bai Skeleton?"
"Exactly." He wanted them to hatch the three-legged golden crow... It was so crazy that Lord Uoyue didn't even dare to imagine the consequences.
But this is probably the only feasible opportunity. After all, one of the only nine Three-legged Golden Crows in the world is right in front of him.
How strong the light is, how deep the shadow on the back is. To truly break the shadow barrier, lighting it up from within is the only way.
use
"sun". Lord Uoyue tried to stretch out his hands, and weak spiritual power poured out. He felt that this part of the power was indeed absorbed by the dark egg, but it was really a drop in the bucket.
So he increased his strength and injected more vigorous spiritual power into it. On Cang Yu's cupped hands, where the egg was closest to Uoyue-kun's palm, two strange spots of light oozed out.
As more spirit is introduced into the egg shell, its surface appears with irregular light spots or black dark parts, shaped like holes.
It looks like a piece of lava under high temperature, with golden-red Er-shaped tongues of fire rising from time to time. But Utsuki-kun's energy is about to reach its limit.
When he relaxed for a moment, the entire egg completely dimmed, and even seemed darker now because of the brightness just now.
Cang Yu showed an apologetic look and said: "It's not that I don't want to help, but we have tried before. Even with all the efforts of the whole family, we still can't achieve the conditions needed to hatch it. But at least we should let it After being sent inside, maybe you have other options."
"I just wanted to say that you don't have to come in person..."
"Then you may not be able to find me." Both of them were silent, their eyes falling on the golden egg.
It is true that when receiving spiritual power, it emits a dazzling light, but it is far from enough to completely dispel the shadow barrier.
There was no one more to turn to, everyone was doing their best just to stay alive. At this time, the inexplicable guilt on Cang Yu's face seemed to be deeper.
"Sorry, it didn't come in very handy."
"No, how could it be? In fact, I might... have another way. It's just..." Uoyue-kun's expression was a bit complicated, and there was no need to hide it.
Under Cang Yu's questioning eyes, he said hesitantly: "From Qinghe Canhua... I learned a set of formations. Although this formation itself is very dangerous, as long as it is slightly modified, it can have a great effect. effect."
"You want to sacrifice your impermanent life?" Cang Yu saw through him immediately.
"It doesn't matter, a life of impermanence is... so rich. Although she is quite critical of this, if she were in this position now, I believe she would also make this choice."
"This is within the shadow barrier, no one can guarantee..."
"It's okay. Otherwise, Kanna-kun and Kauchue-kun wouldn't have fought until now. In fact, I would think...the vitality that penetrates the shadow barrier and is continuously supplied is like catalyzing this egg. The same. And these life forces that can move freely are so similar to the power of evil angels. Perhaps life itself is also a kind of evil? "
"..." Cang Yu opened his mouth slightly, but said nothing.
"Just think of it as my nonsense. I'm going to draw the magic circle now, and I need your help." Cang Yu looked at him with a slightly dazed expression.
Although he met his long-lost relatives as he wished, he was completely different from the past - in all aspects.
However, this is also a good thing, he is very happy.
