Chapter 39: Endless Hide
The tip of the scimitar suddenly touched Liu Shenghan's artery, and it was just a blink of an eye. Qi Huan only heard the piercing friction between the blade and the metal ring, and the cold light flashed, and after coming back to his senses, Bai Ya no longer concealed the hostility in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
"You can call me Liu Sheng......"
"You're not from the Southlands."
"I'm not."
"What are you doing here?" Qi Huan pushed Bai Ya's hand away with the knife, but he immediately moved back, "Miss Liu took us out of that deadly forest and treated Aoyan, why don't you know what to do?" ”
Jun Aoyan fell back the moment he raised his head. She was dizzy and couldn't stand the toss anymore. She threw her inquiring gaze at Liu Shenghan, just puzzled, without too much vigilance. She also felt that this woman would not harm them.
"You're always staring at our knives."
"You think everyone wants your knife!" Qi Huan scolded, "It's not an ordinary style, what's wrong with taking a second look?" ”
"That look is very different." Bai Ya didn't look at him, still staring at Liu Shenghan, "There is no curiosity and no greed - those are the eyes of those who know." You probably know these knives. ”
Liu Shenghan is still unhurried. She propped one arm on the table beside the bed, held up her face, and said calmly:
"Bai Shaoxia said before that I was a witch doctor, but that's right; Saying that I am not a local is also a good guess. I'm about ...... I don't remember the exact number of years I came here many years ago. At that time, I was a military doctor on the ship, traveling with several great generals. That year, it was the Taishi Yue Bai Zhi, and the impermanence of Shui Wujun saw us off. ”
Aoyan suddenly grabbed her hand. Liu Shenghan patted her lightly and continued:
"I know that Mo knife." Liu Shenghan stretched out his finger, pinned Bai Ya's knife, and pointed to the horse chopping knife in his other hand, "I saw it before it was sent to the palace. That batch of weapons is very good, and it is supervised by Shui Wujun. Later, when I heard that the longest and heaviest weapon had been given to Admiral Jun, I chatted with him a little more while I was on the boat, and I learned that it was now held by his daughter. People laughed at me and said that it was known to everyone for a long time, and I just regretted that I always sat in the pharmacy and didn't listen to what was going on outside. ”
Bai Ya put down the knife, but did not put it away. He still had a serious face, looking at Liu Shenghan's honest face. He then asked:
"Where is Jun Chaojiu now?"
Jun Aoyan remained motionless. She was waiting, waiting for Liu Shenghan to say a definite answer. She needed hope so much that it was as if she could be cured with good news and get out of bed the next day. Liu Shenghan felt her expectation, but smiled bitterly and shook his head apologetically.
"We're separated."
They all heard Jun Aoyan let out a faint sigh, with expected disappointment.
Qi Huan asked, "You have also been shipwrecked?" ”
"No...... We landed safely. We landed on the island from a different location, we didn't touch the realm of the sea god, and we didn't encounter any violent storms. But not only that dense forest, but there are also many places in the Nine Heavens Kingdom that grow plants that we have never seen before. When we first came ashore, we were all together, but it wasn't a dock, and we didn't have anyone to pick us up. Later, small accidents followed, and there were fewer and fewer people in our team. It's a bit tricky to expand, in short, the rest of the people are either crazy, dead, or submit to the gods of different locations. ”
"So General Jun is still alive?" Qi Huan asked for Jun Aoyan, with the same excitement in his tone.
“…… Sorry, I didn't know. I'm out of the team. ”
Bai Ya said coldly: "You left the team as a military doctor?" ”
"Please be lenient. We are here, staying longer than you are lost, and human relations do not have to be so rigid. When I came here, I didn't want to leave. There's a lot of things that appeal to me. ”
"Where is this?" Qi Huan asked.
"The edge of the country of incense."
"Xiangji Country?" Qi Huan scratched his head, "Is it the one in the country of Xiangji Buddha?" ”
"Well, not really." Liu Shenghan bit his knuckles, "I think their names have this meaning, but they are far from the real Buddhist legends." After all, this is the place under the jurisdiction of the Incense God, and the followers of the Xiangyin Sect are all over the country...... Well, for my hometown, it's just three or four big cities connected together. ”
"Xiangshen Qianminpo?"
Bai Ya asked casually. When he talked about the Xiangji Buddha Kingdom, a person flashed in his mind - Qingyang Chukong Muyue Jun. According to Shui Wujun, he was the original six realms of impermanence, and he was an ascetic, so he may know all this very well. But he shouldn't be here, and they don't have anywhere to ask.
Liu Shenghan was slightly surprised: "Do you know?" It's okay, it saves me the effort of explaining. ”
Bai Ya didn't want to listen to useless stories. Since she didn't know anything about the fate of Jun Chaojiu, she simply asked something else, such as what he had always wanted to know.
"Do you know Shui Wujun?"
"Of course I do."
"Then you should know about this pair of scimitars."
"That's right. It was the only weapon he had ever fought after his death. ”
"But I've never heard of you."
Liu Shenghan smiled. With his back to the window, the backlit face is unpredictable. They had only met for a short time, but there was a lingering sense of mystery in this woman. Like layers of heavy clouds, layers of heavy veils, peeling off the cocoon, but they can't make it show the whole picture, only the fog is thicker.
"Before and after death, there are no people of all kinds in the six realms. Everyone in the world knows them well, and they don't remember every Jianghu person who passes by, right? We've only met, and we don't have much contact, so he doesn't need to introduce everyone he knows, isn't that the truth? ”
Bai Ya was about to be convinced, but his doubts could not be dispelled. Her rhetoric is exquisite, watertight, and there are no questionable flaws. Seeing that he was still like this, Qi Huan pulled him back and stepped forward to play the round by himself.
"Miss Liu, I'm really sorry, this guy is so suspicious...... You can be sure that we have no ill will! Just staying in that maddening forest for too long makes this person prone to illness......"
"You're sick."
"Shut up."
Liu Shenghan thought the two were funny, so he laughed. Even her laughter was gloomy. It's not scary, but it's still cold. When the topic was no longer so dangerous, she began to say that Jun Aoyan was injured.
"Who made the medicine for Miss Jun all the way?"
"It's me." Qi Huan took a step forward.
"The medicine is a good medicine, but it's a pity that it treats the symptoms but not the root cause......"
"No way, we have a lot of stuff. But if you have something special, you can give it a try. ”
"No way." Liu Shenghan said regretfully, "No matter what herbs, they are all the same, it's just how much pain is stopped and how long the pain is stopped." If you want to cure it, you must go back to the source of her injury. ”
Qi Huan was a little troubled.
"It was indeed caught by the Yakshas. If you don't know, we can't help it. Now we have managed to escape from that place, and we don't want to go back. And we ...... It also caused a lot of trouble to the villagers......"
Liu Shenghan nodded lightly, and his tone was light.
"It's not surprising that such a strange place has turned the world upside down for the three of you. They have always been unkind to strangers, because the Yaksha has not been able to protect the treasures of the god of the sea...... They felt as if everyone was going to covet it. You can rest assured that not all gods are so xenophobic. ”
At the mention of the treasure of the sea god, they were stunned for a moment at the same time. After a while, Liu Shenghan guessed it. But honestly, it wasn't hard for her see-through eyes to guess anything.
"What is that treasure...... Qi Huan asked tentatively, "What is the sea god?" ”
"Since you even know the name of the incense god, you must have heard the saying of 'celestial man'."
"Yes. I heard that as long as you are recognized by the other seven gods, you will be eligible to ascend to the heavenly realm, enter the heavenly realm, and cultivate the immortal ......"
Qi Huan wasn't sure if Yoo Shenghan believed it. When she talked about it, she was neither emotional nor scoffing, just a little bit of a non-business. She just asked lightly, "What do you think is recognition?" Whoever is recognized, there must always be evidence. ”
"You mean, ...... like stamping"
"But the sea god doesn't exist at all."
"Doesn't exist?" Bai Ya asked faster than Qi Huan.
"The source of the power of the gods is the faith of man...... If you don't believe it, you will naturally weaken and dissipate. From the beginning, the sea god didn't even have a body, but people made it up out of thin air based on the scenery and weather on the sea. Those Nakshatras are also very cunning...... I've heard that it was the Yaksha who accidentally got some kind of treasure and pointed it out to the villagers. ”
I see. In this way, it makes sense.
"But the god of the sea doesn't exist, how can you prove it?"
"That's why I want treasures."
"Treasures? Seven treasures? ”
"Naturally. You can call it a treasure, or you can call it a token...... Do you know what is going on between the country of incense and its neighbors? The head of the sect uses the holy relics of the religion, the so-called treasures, to send blessings. This is considered recognition, and the recognized person will leave and go elsewhere to find a new god. I had the privilege of seeing that celebratory ceremony...... To be honest, there was no spiritual power left behind that could be proven. I don't dare to question it, they always have their own interpretation. There are also many travelers from the Nine Heavens Kingdom, who claim to have received such recognition. I don't know how the sect leader saw it, but he just said it. However, they also didn't have any spiritual growth, and they just had a mark on their bodies. ”
Bai Ya looked at her.
"You don't have any doubts about the god of incense, do you? That's why I don't live in my own country. It turned out that I didn't want to be in the same stream. ”
"You're not wrong. To be precise, I don't believe in any god. ”
Bai Ya turned his face sideways, and his expression became subtle. He thought for a moment, then withdrew the knife.
Jun Aoyan is still in bed. She was still in pain, and her body trembled unconsciously. Liu Shenghan immediately patted her, turned around and lit a stick of incense on the table. The incense is light onion and quickly gives off a delicate fragrance that is soothing.
"Let's talk about Miss Jun's injury...... If I'm not mistaken, the Poseidon token is on you. ”
“……”
Bai Ya and Qi Huan looked at each other, I don't know how she guessed it, she didn't dare to say no or admit it. But perhaps their eye contact had already put the facts on their faces. After a while, Qi Huan said hesitantly:
"We ...... It doesn't work. ”
"Oh, it's really there." Liu Shenghan laughed again, "I just deceived you, but I didn't expect to guess it." ”
"W-What?"
"Because you're strong." This is a real compliment, "Otherwise, there is no way to escape from those crazy monsters alive...... So I suppose you've probably wiped them all out. ”
"It's not that ......"
"You can't kill the yakshas. The sea yaksha of the Nine Heavenly Kingdoms is conceived from the depths of the seabed...... It's just that it's very slow, and they think about transforming humanity. By the way, I also just knew. That's what Miss Jun's injuries told me. ”
Qi Huan couldn't help but wipe his sweat - Bai Ya's vigilance is right, this is a ruthless character. But if you can really heal Aoyan's wounds......
