Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 226: Painting the Snake and Adding Feet
"You've got blood on your trouser legs." Yun Ge pointed to the past, "I saw it in the old storeroom. There is a faint layer of handprints, only half, which is a trace of grasping. The other half should be on you. Your top was specifically changed, but your pants weren't. There is blood left on your trouser legs. I recognize all of them. ”
Shanhai couldn't help but be a little amazed. When did he recognize him? However, he is worthy of being a craftsman, and his ability to observe and analyze is far better than ordinary people. Shi Wuqi was finally sure that the faint smell of blood came from him. Roughly speaking, it happened to be Chen Xue half a month ago.
"I've heard of it...... A new silversmith has arrived in Canglu City, surnamed Yun. I guess you're his son. Then you must have his craft. ”
"Don't dodge, answer head-on." Shi Wuqi said coldly, "Did you kill the last shopkeeper just to lure Yun Ge to come forward?" ”
"No, I don't have that skill yet, and how do I know if he's willing to stay here or not. I just want to beg him to tattoo a crescent moon on it. However, he recognized at a glance what it was—a copy of something, and not only did he not do it, but he also claimed to report to the official. Although I was not afraid of the government, I was afraid of trouble, so I had to poison him. ”
No wonder Yun Ge wanted to take the two apprentices away...... Did he make this assumption? They seem to know Cheng Yu and know each other very well. Does this prove that the old master also knew him, that the murder was committed by an acquaintance, and that there was even a clear purpose from the beginning. In this way, it may seem that the statement of Cheng Yu is correct. He first approached the master, found out his level, and then made a temptation. I never thought that the old man was upright and stubborn, admitting death, and not giving him face, so he lost his life like this.
"The old man has a lot of hands." Cheng Yu smiled dryly and touched the collarbone on the right side. That's probably where he was scratched.
"That medicine is going to make people hurt......"
Several people looked at the door. Someone came back, but not the two apprentices, but Ruyue-kun. She patted the dust off her body, closed the door, and then turned around and walked slowly. I don't know how long she listened. Maybe it's just the last bit, or maybe it's there at the beginning.
Cheng You's eyes almost lit up. It wasn't a gaffe, but his reaction was indeed abnormal, and his whole body trembled, like a human instinctively trembling when facing some beast. Although his trembling is a kind of fear, it carries with it a strange admiration, like a son to a father, a minister to a king, a mortal to a saint. Compared to Yun Ge's respect for his father, his strange feelings are no better.
So Mu Wan immediately understood. The person he admires is none other than Liu Yumei and Ruyuejun.
Poison, painting, these things are all related to Ruyuejun's methods, she should have thought of it a long time ago. Cheng You happily took a few steps forward, his legs trembling.
"Lord Ruyue!" He tried his best to maintain his demeanor, and he could not hide the great joy in his heart, "I have finally seen you!" ”
"Is that so?"
There was a little love and a little ...... in the light reply Unnecessary.
Compared with the relationship between father and son, her attitude is more like that of an ordinary person to the cats and dogs she encounters on the street. If you think it's cute, you don't like it, and even if you like it, you can't agree with it. A fundamental, equal identity.
"Yes! For many years, I have always been ...... It's like you're avoiding me, I can't find you. Sometimes you follow your message, but you're long gone. I must have finished my work and left from the six spiritual veins, and the next time the news came from that far away...... I said in my heart I have to catch up with you to ......"
"So you need a replica of Huangquan Ling?" Shanhai was still puzzled, "As long as the functions are similar, why do you even have to pursue the same effect in appearance?" ”
"You know what!"
It was the first time they had seen such a "handsome gentleman" as Cheng You so vicious, and they couldn't help but retreat.
Unexpectedly, Ruyue-kun said, "I'm hiding from you." ”
Hearing this sentence for a moment, Cheng You was a little stunned, his expression was complicated, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad. Perhaps while being sad about this, I am also relieved that the people I admire know my name.
"Don't get me wrong." She then said, "I just, I don't like immortals. I have always stayed away from you like this. ”
Shanhai reacted. Sure enough, Cheng You's age is much older than he looks. Otherwise, how could he appear in front of Yun Kai in the form of a young man, threatening or persuading him to build Huangquan Ling, and then he could appear in front of them in the form of a young man, in front of Yun Ge, Yun Kai's son. They didn't look much different, except that Yun Ge's skin was rougher.
"How can I count...... No, I'm not. Cheng You shook his head and explained, "I'm just...... I yearn for you so much. I wish I could be like you. But human lifespan is really limited, and I have to use those anti-beauty and longevity pills to maintain my best appearance. That way, when I see you, I won't be too disrespectful. ”
Dai Luan could guess the lines in the second master's heart: Your appearance is disrespectful enough. Of course, Ruyuejun's expression was still so tolerant, so loving, with a hint of gloomy compassion.
"There's no need." Ruyuejun looked at him, but his gaze penetrated him, looking farther away, "After so many years, then you don't feel bored?" Live like this, kill like this, in order to achieve your goal. ”
"Not yet." He shook his head, "But soon." I see you, and that's what it's worth. ”
Ruyuejun stopped talking, waved her hand gently, and the slight smile on her face disappeared, leaving only the original gloomy sorrow.
"It doesn't make sense." "It doesn't make sense," she said. ”
They didn't know what Ruyue-kun's intentions were. Cheng You was a little flustered, not knowing what to say next.
"I ......"
"Hmm. You saw me, and then what? ”
"Speak from your heart."
"Please."
When he saw Ruyuejun, I don't know if it was something he expected. Because his performance has exceeded the norm, and the excitement has covered all the preparations in the past. He straightened his collar and poured out his feelings quite affectionately and sincerely, without the slightest concern, as if the people on the side, including Yun Ge, were just air.
"I've collected a lot of your paintings...... Paintings from his lifetime. Decades and centuries have passed, but they are still gorgeous and lifelike. When I was a child, I saw a picture of a beautiful woman you drew and fell in love with it at first sight. While people were admiring this peerless face, I was impressed by the artist's exquisite skills and the powerful spiritual power hidden in the painting. At that time, I secretly vowed that I would definitely meet its artist, and not just superficially admire the people in the painting. Relying on the elegant style of my family, I was fortunate to have ample conditions for painting. I also learned how to make drugs. ”
"Your family actually agreed to you study?" Dai Luan asked with a frown.
Cheng Yu squinted at her, revealing the sharpness that peeled off the disguise.
"Those who stand in my way are dead. With that kind of ...... A medicine that kills at first sight. ”
"You're killing your family!" Mu Wan roared angrily, "Are you still worthy of being a man!" ”
"To be human?" Cheng You spread out his hands, "So what's the matter." It would be very troublesome not to let future generations know that there is a relative in the family who is 'old and immortal'...... And I need money to travel around. ”
Shanhai thought of something and said slowly: "So...... Families fell quickly. It's not a big family, but it does produce a few talents who paint, all of which are well-known names on the rivers and lakes. But in order to preserve your identity and for money, you have killed all your flesh and blood relatives. ”
"They saw it for themselves — I just, put the medicine there."
"This medicine will run out soon, and you've been changing it." Yun Ge said behind him. The blood had formed a scab.
"I just put them on my forehead."
Cheng You turned back suddenly, and Yun Ge subconsciously looked away from his eyebrows. Of course, he knew that if he had done so, they would have died long ago. Shi Wuqi snorted coldly and said:
"Look at the wounds on your body, that medicine will make people very manic before they die."
"Not bad." Ruyuejun responded, "There is no antidote in a stick of incense, the black pupils are dilated, and you will definitely die." Before death, the victim will be very aggressive, and in addition to being blind, he will only destroy the people and things around him as much as possible, and lose his rationality. ”
"Many relatives are afraid that they were accidentally injured and killed by poisoned people." Shi Wuqi said.
Cheng You disagreed.
"As long as I can see you – as long as I can see you. I can pay any price. You are the six impermanences, and I think that as long as I can become the six impermanences, I can work with you, or at least catch up with you. ”
"What misconception do you have about the work of the six realms of impermanence...... Dai Luan couldn't help but say, "and if you want to be impermanent, you should die, not live for so long." ”
"Sneer......"
Ruyue-kun suddenly laughed again. They didn't know what she meant, but she was quick to explain.
"You. Huangquanling is a fake, is the identity to be pursued also a fake? ”
"It doesn't matter if it's true or false. As long as the result can be touched, the process is necessary, and there is no superfluous step. ”
"Six realms of impermanence, not a demon who asks for his life." Ruyuejun said frankly, "He himself knows that he will not see that adult when he dies, and he will not get this identity." I'm just a mortal, and I haven't killed anyone even after I've become impermanent. ”
This is surprising.
Her tone was so calm and persuasive that no one would doubt her.
“…… I believe in you. But, I just need to ......"
"I don't need anyone to believe me." Her eyes were cold and indifferent, "I only say what I want to say and do what I have to do." It will be the ideal of the six realms of impermanence as a lifelong ...... Maybe that's good, too. This is your pursuit, and I have no right to judge. But if this is a means to pursue your dreams, just a means - you are blaspheming this work. But it's also interesting......"
“…… Interesting? Cheng You's face turned a little pale, "What's interesting?" ”
"Nothing...... I'm so tired of this kind of life that there are people who desperately want it. It's ridiculous. ”
A moment of silence followed. Even Cheng Yu didn't know what to say. Although he knew and was ready not to be taken seriously, he only needed to say what was in his heart. But when it happened, he realized that it was not enough, far from enough. The irritability in my heart gradually became clear, and the sound of my heartbeat was extremely noisy.
"So what else do you have to say?" Ruyuejun asked him, as if she was talking to him for the last time.
"I don't think so." His voice doesn't sound like his own.
Yun Ge shook his head behind him, looked at it coldly, and whispered a sad word.
"No, you're not done." Ruyuejun suddenly walked towards him, making him a little at a loss, "You still have something to do." ”
“…… What's the matter? ”
"You want to kill me."
