Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 235: Painting the dove as a bird
There are signs of destruction of vegetation nearby.
Even in the middle of nowhere, this place is a bit too desolate. The turf was lifted and the trees were destroyed, as if an army had fought here. But Dai Luan knew that all this might just come from the handiwork of two people. She also found a large amount of blood at the scene, even tiny pieces of minced flesh. She didn't know who had been battered, only to see the blood spilling up the hill.
This mountain is not high, it is said to be low but not short, but the vegetation is more sparse. She walked up the trail of blood, and several times she narrowly missed it. She had been gone for too long, she wanted to give up several times, and the sun began to tilt to the west. The blood was so thin that it had disappeared completely, probably stopped, but she was already trapped in the mountains. It's not impossible to return if she wants to, but she's not reconciled. With this time, maybe I can help the mountains and seas. So she looked that way, and the mountains had obscured the city, and only the dark sky was like a stain on a blue cloth.
I don't know if she walked too fast, or she was too anxious, it was only early spring, and she felt hot and sweaty. In the mountains, she found several abandoned mine pits one after another, with no people and no tools, only traces of what had been excavated. These pits have been abandoned for a long time. Perhaps in the past, ore was transported to the two cities, so it's no wonder that their swords and jewelry are famous. Dai Luan walked for a long time, tired and hot, and her heart was uncomfortable.
At that moment, a squirrel scurried past her feet. In the sky, several birds flew away in the same direction. Dai Luan realized something, looked in the direction they had come, and quickened her pace.
The mountain is very steep and there is not much cover. She walked some distance and hid behind a tree. The trees in this area are all slanted on the mountain, parallel to each other, I don't know if they are slanted or because the slopes are too sloping. But it didn't matter, what mattered was that right ahead, countless metal chains hung between many trees, tightly wrapped, locking someone in between. Even from a great distance, she could clearly see that the man's dress was missing a sleeve, and it was torn off and wrapped around his thigh. It must have been injured by chains. Now, blood is oozing out of it again. Something was at his feet, and Dai Luan squinted her eyes to look closely, it was a strange-looking knife.
Yingyue-kun's situation is by no means better than his. Although his situation seems to be more favorable at the moment, his injuries are more serious. It stands to reason that the six realms of impermanence can be cured faster than ordinary people, and the pain is not obvious, all so that they can better deal with various threats. This kind of physical dullness may also gradually numb the mind.
Yingyue-kun's wounds were still on his body, and he may have received too many attacks in a short period of time, and the damage caused to his small body was extremely serious. He was lying on the ground, and the soil around him was dark and clumped, presumably bloodstained.
He held up his forearms and looked as fierce as a leopard.
"It's a pity, I should have killed you in that temple at that time!"
"Do you have what it takes?" The masked wolf taunted, "By you? β
Yingyuejun clutched the soil on the ground. Suddenly, the chains turned red, as if they had been heated. Wisps of hot smoke came out of the parts that were wrapped around the trees and people. Dai Luan was a little panicked, after all, the trees here are very dry, and if they burn, it will be troublesome. So she walked out.
ββ¦β¦ It's you? Yingyue-kun seemed to recognize her, patted the dirt on her body and staggered to her feet, "I know, I know you...... Whew, you're from the Snow Yan Valley, disciple's ......"
He breathed heavily, couldn't stand steadily, and though he was vicious, he looked like a drunken little mouse.
"I'm not going to fight with you. Listen to me-" Dai Luan pointed in the direction of the mountain, "there was a ...... in the city of no music"
"A thousand faces of the ghost girl." He stared into her eyes.
"You know?" Although it was expected, Dai Luan was still very angry, "Then why don't you ignore it?" β
"What does the life and death of an ant have to do with me?" He was still so disdainful, "It should have died a long time ago, this is retribution!" β
"I don't understand, what do they have to do with the people who killed you back then? You killed all of them, not even the spectators, you should have taken revenge, why should you count this emotion on all of them? The people of Wule City, the people of Canglu City, the nomads on the Bili Plain...... Who has a relationship with your past? None of them should be held accountable for the faults of those people. They also have children, they have parents, and you don't have parents? Doesn't your family love you? Or do you not feel it? I think they spoiled you and made you take people's feelings and lives so lightly. β
Yingyuejun wiped the blood off his face with the back of his hand, looking disapproving.
"Yes, yes. You're right, they spoiled me, so they're also at fault. They shouldn't have given birth to me. He spread out his two red hands, "Blame them, go?" It's a laughing person. I think you've been with that crazy woman for too long, and you can't tell the difference between right and wrong. β
"I can't tell?"
Dai Luan didn't feel angry, she just felt incredible, plus a little inexplicable. It's obviously a truth that all children understand, but the stinky little ghost in front of her, who is older than her, makes her speechless. She knew that she was here to persuade him, and she must not be taken into the ditch by him. Fang Cai's words were already a little emotional, arguing with this kind of imp, but he had to calm down.
Steady him first.
"Hmm...... Okay, I can't tell. Everything is going well in my family, and I really can't fully understand your suffering. But now that you are subject to that adult, will you be able to smoothly get rid of people and things that you are not used to? No. β
"That's not all I like? Come to think of it, he killed so many people along the way, just because he added a place full of outlaws like Zuo Jimen, no one even dared to put down an underground bounty. In other words, the lower ones were all killed by Zuo Jimen. That's also their own lack of ability! Beloved daughters and sisters, you should avenge them, but a thousand peopleβa thousand people, who do you see standing up? Brother Long Night is right, humans are nothing but a rabble. and short-lived, like a group of children who don't grow up. β
You've grown up? In addition, hearing a certain name, Dai Luan felt a headache. It's tiring to reason with him.
"You can't ignore people who were born with suffering just because you are blessed with privileges."
"Then blame them for the wrong birth. Anyway, I'm not wrong. Speaking of the 1,000 people, he blamed himself for counting them wrong, allowing this monster to be born earlier than expected...... I haven't prepared much, there are only a few people in Wule City. Originally, I wanted him to kill a few more, but counting them was really troublesome. β
There is no help.
No wonder they all said that Yama had given up on him. This kind of impermanence will only bring more misfortune to the world. A guy like this, having Immortal Moon Jun alone is enough to stand it. But Dai Luan didn't plan to give up, otherwise all this sweat would be in vain. She was going to convince him from a different angle.
"The Lord sent you to spy on him, and now that he has broken the vows, you will naturally kill him, I know that. But it's too late to kill him now, and the appearance of the ghost girl Thousand Faces must be within the expectation of that adult. He's testing you. β
"Test me?" Yingyuejun folded her arms, "What will test me?" β
At least it aroused his interest, and Dai Luan decided to seize this hard-won right to speak. She went on to say:
"Kill the ghost girl first, or kill the smiling wolf, or don't kill at all. What the adult wants to know is how you can judge these situations. You came to arrest him according to the regulations out of consideration of the priority of the mission......" because you are still afraid of the Yama Demon from the bottom of your heart, but this sentence Dai Luan did not say, "This is out of reason." But out of affection, he will be more willing to see you save the people of Limin. When he thinks you have a 'human' side, he probably forgives you. β
"What does he think? Gift? Forgive? Yingyue-kun's voice became higher and higher, "Laughing to death, who cares!" β
Despite saying that, Dai Luan was keenly aware that he was hiding the tremor in his words with a raised voice. He actually cares a lot. So she continued.
"If you have any difficulties, I can help you...... As long as you're willing to deal with the demons of the city. β
"What else can you help me, poof, what can you help me?" Yingyuejun suddenly laughed, "I want to be free, I want to seal the demon blade, I want to break these shackles, can you help me?" β
The Demon Binding Rope is indeed something that is difficult to cut, not even Shui Wujun.
"If your freedom leads to the loss of more lives, I may not be able to help you."
"Then I can't help you." He turned his back angrily.
Dai Luan had a headache. She rarely negotiated with anyone, knowing what she wanted when she was a child. The eldest lady who has not grown up will only make her temperament, thanks to the mountains and seas who have nothing to do, come and see, supervise her classes, and tell her what she has seen outside. Ying Yuejun may have been let off as a child - his talent is a pass to any level. If what happened to his relatives is also retribution...... That's right, everyone is responsible for what they do.
The same goes for the smiling wolf.
She looked at the trees that bound him.
β¦β¦ He's gone.
All of Dai Luan's senses sharpened in an instant. She sensed the wind behind her and immediately ducked to the side. As soon as she moved away, she felt a chill in her ears, but then a burning sensation that made her feel terrible pain.
She turned around and saw the smiling wolf with the strange knife in one hand, looking at her through the cold mask.
So Dai Luan stretched out her hand and touched it in her ear. Even at the slightest touch, she immediately shivered in pain, and warm blood stained her hands. Her right ear was cut, and she didn't see any flesh missing, maybe she saved it, but she didn't know how big the wound was, and she felt that the whole ear hurt. The blood was still pouring out, and she clasped her hand next to her ear, and more blood flowed down her hand and face, dripping to the ground.
"Don't point to the moon. There are youkai with cut ears. β
Damn, don't be a crow's mouth.
One thing to say, it was also in Huansha City before. If her right ear can be saved, she vows to correct her fingering in the future.
After blocking the next few attacks with her sword, she clearly realized that she was no match for this man. Although Yingyue-kun noticed this, he didn't do anything yet. Either way, this place shouldn't be any longer.
The smiling wolf knows that he doesn't live long and can't run too far, and he still wants to pull people on his back, which is really a complete madman. Dai Luan ran in the direction of the bottom of the mountain, the ground was very steep, and she almost tripped over. But soon, she saw a familiar figure on the road. Mu Wan held a dagger in his hand and looked in her direction in a daze.
"Mu Wan! Are you alright? β
She looked at her and suddenly smiled as she raised her knife.
