Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 221: Painting Frontier Observance
The feeling of lightness on Shi Wuqi's body is still there, but his heart is heavy. This contrast makes people feel that it is not real enough, and there is a sense of tearing between dream and reality, memory and present. The reason is not only the loss without an answer, but also the "inadvertent" reminder like Yuejun's dream.
"If Miss Qi is human, the Soul Returning Incense may be useful."
This seems to be a reminder of dragonflies, with a hint of conspiracy.
Rejuvenating incense is a certain kind of incense in legend, and no one knows the ingredients. Unlike the Resurrection Pill, this is a treasure that can truly bring the dead back to life, even if it's a rotten corpse. But this is just a rumor, no one has ever seen it, and I don't know if this claim is groundless.
"It's true, there is such a thing. I thought about it back then. Well, I'll give you a recipe. ”
"Yes, there's such a thing?" Shanhai's first reaction was a little alert, "Isn't this against the principle of yin and yang?" How could you...... Besides, isn't it effective if you don't die for three days? ”
"That's the limit of current drugs...... Ruyuejun said, "Most of the things that are circulating and available on the market are the kind you say." A veritable rejuvenating incense, even the miscellaneous soldiers of the Dead Swamp can live. The skeleton general is like that, but the demonic aura is too heavy. I don't know if Liang Yue-kun will consider it, but if the possibility of success is denied from the beginning, it will be a good thing. ”
Shi Wuqi stretched out his hand to Dai Luan: "Give me the pen and paper." ”
The little girl was embarrassed for a moment. She knew that with her master's knowledge, she was strongly opposed to this kind of thing. And Shi Wuqi obviously won't give up if he can't get an answer. On the one hand, she wanted to help him, and on the other hand, she wanted to respect her master. She glanced at Shanhai cautiously, and her hands did not move for the time being.
"Bring Miss Qi back to life?" Shanhai's tone was really expected, "Don't you just want to see the Ten Thousand Ghosts, as long as you know one result?" Are you going to use the rejuvenating incense to bring her back to life, and then ask for clarification? ”
"I know what you think." Shi Wuqi directly turned over Dai Luan's box, she couldn't stop it, "If you are no longer willing to help me, I won't complain; But if you want to stop me, I don't want to fight you. ”
His tone was light, no longer with the cunning of a merchant in front of them, with a bargaining euphemism. But that's a bit too resolute. Not long after reuniting with them, it was to the point of conflict. Before Shanhai could say anything, Dai Luan opened her mouth first, and her tone was a little uncomfortable:
"Have you been in Hell for too long, ...... to us Nothing ......."
Shi Wuqi just flipped out the paper, and his hand stiffened. He paused, shaking his head slightly.
"No, it's not."
Ruyuejun didn't speak again, I really don't know how this long night will end. She said to Shanhai that it was indeed just a legend, and no one had actually made it until now. Fang Zi actually knew a lot of people, and even the same, but so far no dead person has opened his eyes. Therefore, when you are not sure about the effect of this incense, it cannot be regarded as a dead and alive technique.
Mu Wan, who had been silent, finally said something. She's actually been listening.
"That lord will definitely ......"
"That's after use." Ruyuejun blinked, "Doesn't Gao Yuejun also have a lot of unreasonable Gu techniques?" ”
"I'm still ...... Can't agree. Shan Hai couldn't help but shake his head, "It's not just a violation of common sense, it's not a matter of being punished." Assuming that it will fail, there is an intention to bet on its success. Besides, if she really came back to life, so what? Who is she, what is her identity, is she a human or a monster? What about her family? Maybe it's not in the world. If there are any relatives who have left descendants, they will be ...... in terms of generation."
"That's enough." Shi Wuqi handed the pen and paper to Ruyuejun, "Even if she is my enemy, she only has a bad memory of me when she wakes up, or her spell is defective and she is still unable to move, or she is sick...... It doesn't hurt. I can tell her little by little that I can take care of her and not tell anyone about her. ”
Rin Yamami felt a headache. He watched Ruyue-kun write on the paper plainly, wanting to stop it but it was inappropriate. Dai Luan Muwan just watched, no one dared to interject, and they didn't express their position. He couldn't help but pat the back of his hand and said to Wu Qi:
"It's not just these questions...... Will she die again? Like a normal person? Rites of passage? ”
"I don't know." Ruyuejun said for him, "After all, no one has ever succeeded." ”
He really didn't know what Ruyue-kun's purpose was. Along the way, she seemed to be helping them, but in fact they almost forgot that she was not only a pharmacist and painter before her death, but also a murderer and a killer. Who can guarantee that she didn't try her recipe with this?
There is a feeling of helplessness in a trap. But until now, she is indeed "helping".
"Let's put it this way." Shanhai's voice lowered, "Whose soul is the soul that has returned to the shell?" ”
Ruyuejun and Shi Wuqi both glanced at him, I don't know if they didn't understand. He went on to say:
"Reverted, or me? If it is the original soul, what happens to the reincarnated living? ”
This is a critical question. He notices a subtle change in Shi Wuqi's expression. He looked at Ruyue-kun and seemed to attach great importance to the answer to this question.
"There will always be a ......change in the soul after reincarnation," Ruyue-kun stopped thinking about it, "According to my inference, he will be stripped of the part that originally belonged to that body, depending on the situation. The light ones lose their humanity, become sluggish and irrational, and only have an instinctive sense of survival like animals; Heavy, they can't move, like plants. ”
"Don't you even care about that?" Unlike questioning, Shanhai's tone was filled with urgent pleading.
After Ruyue Jun's recipe was copied, Shi Wuqi took it and examined it beside the firelight. Her handwriting is beautiful and clear, and she writes clearly. Even after hearing this, there is no wavering attitude towards Wu Qi.
"I don't see the pain of people who have nothing to do with me."
The tone is mean, indifferent, but the mountains and seas do not feel strange.
Because he never knew this man.
Although, this is not something that is only now realized.
Shi Wuqi continued: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are no longer common. If I have the chance to meet a victim, I will try to make amends. I'll tell you the truth, before I met you, the life and death of others had nothing to do with me. ”
It is indeed true, Shanhai felt that his throat was even more, and he couldn't refute it for a while. He was silent for a while, then looked up at the stars. The air is clean, the night sky is clear, and the tiny glow is like a crushed future.
“…… What if the spell fails, it's not just ineffective? Many forbidden things have all kinds of risks lurking. Maybe the soul has not returned to its place, and she has lost her mind, or has she only regarded you as an enemy and did not listen to you? ”
"Then fight again."
"Why do you always think of things so simply—"
"It's that you think it's too complicated, always."
I can't go on with that. Shanhai is clearly aware that Shi Wuwu will only insist on going his own way. But isn't that exactly what he should have been? He hasn't changed, he hasn't. There is no point in arguing like this, either one side compromises or goes their separate ways. Clearly, Shi Wuqi does not look like a compromising party, and they are all arguing to avoid the second option.
Shanhai gave up arguing, and he felt a little tired. But at the same time, he finally saw something else.
"You care too much about her."
"I care about her."
"From the time she was alive."
"Perhaps. I don't quite remember. ”
"But is it really her who you care about?"
Was she in the past, or is she now? Is it a demon, a human, or a cold, obedient corpse?
"I don't care."
Dai Luan didn't dare to breathe. After being quiet for a while, she carefully picked up the Ten Thousand Ghost Zhi on the ground and asked Ruyuejun:
"Y-Can I take a look?"
"Look."
She flipped through it casually. With a light sigh, she slowly closed the Ten Thousand Ghost Chronicles and handed it back to Ruyuejun.
"Good. All right. Shanhai said, "You can do it...... As long as you feel like it's what you really need, as long as you feel like you can take the consequences. ”
Shi Wuqi smiled. He knew that his attitude would not convince him or make him make any concessions.
"You're not afraid I'll make a problem?"
"I'm afraid. So I have to watch you so that you don't get into any trouble halfway. But as I said it beforehand, if I feel that something is morally violated, I will not do it for you. He turned around and said to Dai Luan and Mu Wan, "You can't do it either. ”
“……”
The two girls looked at each other and sighed in unison. After a while, Dai Luan seemed to remember something and asked:
"Since she's a human, why can't she break through the barrier of the Dead Man's Swamp?"
"Because of Xuanzhen, right?" Mu Wan casually answered, "Miss Qi's bones are also black, and the demonic qi is too deep into her body. Isn't that also the case with almsgiving? ”
Shi Wuqi doesn't seem to care about this anymore. He handed the recipe to Shanhai, who roughly swept it over.
"Ambergris two coins, Peilan half a penny - Huoxiang, agarwood, black medicine...... These are easy to find, but some are harder. There are a few more that I haven't seen before, Tianxiang Jade, Ghost Grass, Night Cry Beads, ......"
"Ah, Tianxiangyu. I remember that Miss Liangqiu had a piece. ”
After Ruyuejun finished speaking, the three of them suddenly looked at her. The nominee was stunned, and he didn't know where to put his hand that was originally supporting his face. She only felt that she didn't know why, and looked at Ruyuejun in a daze.
"In your sachet, there is a small piece of heavenly jade. But I don't smell that breath on you, you lost it? ”
"Ahh The others also had this expression, only Shi Wuqi felt dazed.
"Big, probably, in the Shadow Pavilion......" Dai Luan's voice became quieter and quieter.
"Oh, is that so?" Ruyuejun didn't plan to ask, "The nearest place is Cangyu City." Turning back through a grassland, it is Qinglize. ”
"Well, we've come this way." Shan Hai rubbed his temples, "This is really a coincidence...... Since it's a drop-by, let's go. We also have to ask Xie Hualing about it, as well as your tengu. ”
"What's wrong with the tengu?" Shi Wu asked.
Dai Luan pulled him and said, "There were a bunch of bad things that happened when you were away, and I couldn't finish talking about it all night, so I'll tell you about it in a while." Hey, Master, the hot spring pools in Cangyu City are very easy to soak, you must come! ”
"Don't delay anyone's business." Shanhai shook his head.
"Ahh......h I'm not in a hurry. Ruyue-kun was very interested, "It's true that I'm not in a hurry to do the things at hand, and I've always been interested in hot soup." Go to Cangyu City, I can go to the pharmacy with you first to grab some incense. I'll look at the other materials. ”
Shi Wuqi noticed that Mu Wan was too close to the fire. Even though it was already spring, she still hugged herself tightly, and she had the impression that she was clearly not so afraid of the cold. So he asked.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"Ahh......h OK. She jerked her gaze away from her arm.
"Tengu's injuries really can't be delayed."
"Yes...... Yes, there can be no delay. ”
She hugged herself tighter, her left hand clutching the wrist of her right hand tightly.
