"What?"
How can this be?
I suspect I heard it wrong. Yao Chunli and the others saw with their own eyes that it was Jiang Lanyue who killed the Black Snake King, but now he keeps saying that he didn't kill him. What's going on?
Jiang Lanyue didn't know how to explain it, so she lowered her eyes and glanced at the black gold scimitar beside her.
"It was the knife that killed him."
Isn't it the person who was killed with this knife? if not?
I smiled angrily, my smile not reaching my eyes, and something suddenly occurred to me.
"Wait...you mean...the knife killed the person on its own?"
Jiang Lanyue nodded with a heavy heart, "That's right."
The knife takes the initiative to kill...
It sounds somewhat ridiculous, but I believe that what he said is true!
Could it be that this knife has its own consciousness?
I stared at the big black knife solemnly: "I've known you for so long, and I haven't asked you yet, what kind of knife is this... It's quite special."
This knife seemed ordinary, without even a decorative pattern, but in his hand, it was particularly powerful.
Ever since the killing spree started in the Ghost Theater, I felt that this knife was extraordinary, and its power had already exceeded my imagination.
"Have you ever heard of the Zanpakuto?" Jiang Lanyue asked in a deep voice.
My eyes narrowed slightly, and sure enough... Fang Yunhe was right.
I said nothing, and Jiang Lanyue continued: "I suspect that this sword is the rumored Zanpakutō!"
Since he could tell me, he must have some evidence.
"I heard people say that this Zanpakutō is the magic weapon in the hand of Hades, wouldn't you..." I raised my head in horror, my eyes glaring at his cold silhouette.
"I am not Pluto." Jiang Lanyue said categorically: "If I were Pluto, why would no one know me in the underworld? Why can't I change your life and death book?"
There is nothing wrong with Jiang Lanyue's words. If he is really Pluto, how could I be so aggrieved? You have to earn your own lifeline.
"The reason why I haven't revealed it to you is... I haven't figured out my origins yet!"
Jiang Lanyue told me that his memory is chaotic. In those complicated memories, he has several identities.
The authenticity of these identities constantly tortured him, and he didn't know which one was true.
He did not want to reveal any information until the investigation was clear.
"Anyway, the Zanpakutō is in your hand, you might as well check it out from this clue." As soon as I finished speaking, I felt like I was being rude, so I quickly said, "I'm just suggesting... I don't mean to interfere with you."
"I understand, I have my own sense of proportion." Jiang Lanyue's words clearly indicate that he has already investigated and has some clues, but he is not close to the truth yet, but it is not appropriate to tell me now.
I sneered and said, "Yes, Jiang Daxian has always been reliable in his work. I am just being sentimental..."
Jiang Lanyue heard the self-mockery in my words and said, "I am not treating you as an outsider when I say this to you. The secret of this knife is known to God and earth, and you know it and I know it. During this period, I can feel that the Zanpakuto is getting more and more killing, and it is becoming more and more difficult to control..."
When Jiang Lanyue said this, the worry hidden in his eyes flashed across.
I understand what he is thinking. If he cannot control this knife, he may hurt innocent people.
This is what none of us want to see...
"If you need help, just ask, don't forget, we are a family..." I said to him righteously, don't think about doing everything by yourself.
Jiang Lanyue stiffened. It was probably the first time he heard someone say these words. His cold face froze for a moment, and then he raised the corners of his lips shyly: "Okay..."
After solving a major issue, I took two days off as usual.
In the past two days, I went to Baiyun Temple again. Unfortunately, Taoist Master Bai went into retreat. This retreat will take less than half a month.
I was rejected again, but... after eating, I actually got used to it.
Habits are a terrible thing...
"Master, please come back. The time is not yet ripe, and it is impossible for you and my uncle to meet." The little Taoist boy named Chen persuaded me in a good voice.
I sat on a bench in the Taoist temple, feeling the calm magnetic field and purifying the negative energy in my body.
"I'm not here this time just for Taoist Master Bai." I have worries in my heart, and my eyes are full of sorrow, and I want to use this pure place of the door to put away all my troubles.
The little Taoist boy glanced at me and sat on the chair with me: "Master, do you need a fortune telling?"
I shook my head. If I wanted to tell fortunes, I could do it myself, so why should I rely on others?
"No need, my matter cannot be solved by fortune telling." Everything else is easy to talk about. What I am really worried about is Jiang Lanyue's Zanpakutō.
Although I didn't say it explicitly, I have been thinking about it these past few days.
I'm worried that if that knife goes crazy, it will hurt Jiang Lanyue first.
"Everything in this world will always have a solution. Don't be impatient, Master..." As he said, he took out an apple from his sleeve, reached into the other sleeve and took it out casually, suddenly... A sound.
"What's wrong?" I was also startled by him.
The little Taoist grinned in pain, holding a small knife between his fingers and pulling it out, the edge of the knife was stained with blood.
"I knew... this knife without a scabbard would hurt me one day..." He rambled for a long time, twirling his fingers.
There was a roar in my mind, and a light flashed through the chaos.
Scabbard...yes! Why didn't I think of that!
Jiang Lanyue's sword killed violently because it lacked a scabbard!
If you can put a scabbard on the Zanpakuto, you can restrain the ghost sword, so... Jiang Lanyue won't be hurt!
I suddenly understood and jumped up excitedly: "Daozhang Chen, you have done me a big favor!"
The little Taoist boy had a look of confusion on his face, and his big eyes were a little naive: "Me? Help you?"
I looked at his blood-stained knife, and I didn't know whether it was a coincidence or a divine revelation. The problem that I had been puzzled by before was solved.
I hurriedly said goodbye to the little Taoist boy, quickly stepped out of the mountain gate, and couldn't wait to call Jiang Lanyue to come out.
"Jiang Daxian, Jiang Daxian..." I was so excited that my steps became brisk unconsciously.
When I went up the mountain today, Jiang Lanyue didn't accompany me and was busy with his own trivial matters.
Hearing my call, he appeared in front of me without any delay.
"Jiang Lanyue, I found a way!" I jumped for joy and held his hand.
Those dark eyes filled my face, and Jiang Lanyue for the first time did not let go of his hand: "What's the matter?"
"Scabbard! You can try to find a scabbard." I said with shining eyes.
A strange color flashed in Jiang Lanyue's eyes: "This method is feasible, but... there are only a few scabbards in the world that can control it."
"There are only a few. As long as it exists, everything is possible!" I told him not to be discouraged, to find a way if there is no way, and to create conditions if there are no conditions.
"The Zanpakutō is the most yin and evil thing. As the saying goes, things must be turned to their extremes. It is the most yin and the most yang. We need to find a pure and yang thing, which is also the most yin treasure, and refine it into a scabbard... ..." He had already thought about the treasure, and seemed to have something to say, but he held it back stiffly.
The most pure and yang thing... I think of the blind grandfather once mentioned a thing that is the most pure and yang, but also extremely cold.
