Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 177: Foresight
Shanhai was beaten by Ah Luan.
She cried and laughed, jumped and made a fuss, slammed her fist at him, and then threw herself into his arms and wiped her nose, not at all like a girl. Shanhai didn't have time to guess what the apprentice would look like when he saw him, but this scene still surprised him. This girl is usually either horizontal or has a straight face, she can't guess the mood, and she doesn't know who she learned from.
Who else can I learn from?
Shanhai was a person who came to the cave to find her, and the others were waiting outside. When only he and Shui Wujun were there, Ah Luan was extremely presumptuous, and the emotions that had been held back for a few days suddenly exploded. But when she finished wiping her nose, she was all right immediately, she wiped away her tears, then raised her head and asked him:
"Are you still coming to see me?"
ββ¦β¦ No. β
"I'm already angry."
"No, I...... Never mind. β
Shui Wujun patted her on the shoulder from behind: "Wait, I'm still alive." β
"Isn't it possible for the six realms of impermanence to go to the underworld?"
"Why are you so sober at this point?"
It wasn't until Chi Li, Mo Liang and Xiao came over and made an introduction seriously, and it took a lot of effort to make Dai Luan believe that the mountains and seas were alive and well, and she was also alive and well.
"So ......"
Dai Luan was brewing some questions, and the others came up with concern, wondering what she was going to ask.
"So...... Just now I ...... Did you all see that? β
"Nope."
Several people spoke in unison, except for Xiao.
"But I heard it." Mo Liang said.
Dai Luan took a deep breath and explained seriously: "Actually, I'm not usually like this. β
"I testify that she doesn't usually do that." Mountains and seas echoed.
Since good things did happen, the master and apprentice naturally accepted it gladly. Next, Shanhai explained his past experience to the other three, and then asked for help from Yun Waijing-Xiang Xiao, who had three questions he wanted to know.
Where is Liangqiu Muwan now?
"Ah...... If you talk about the girl from the Snow Yan Sect, I can't see it clearly. β
"Can't see clearly?" Dai Luan was puzzled, "If you can see, you can, if you can't see, you can't, how can there be a saying that you can't see clearly?" Is it too far? β
"No, it's not ......" Xiao patiently explained to her, "The Cloud Outer Mirror does know all things in heaven and earth, but all this must be something that happens in the world. If it's in the underworld, or outside of humanity, there's nothing I can do. As for this chivalrous woman, I can only vaguely make out one outline. She's wearing the disciple uniform of the Snow Yan Sect, isn't she? β
Shanhai nodded again and again: "Yes, that's right." And what about other than that? What else do you see, people, or views? β
"No one, nothing. The surroundings were empty, a void. Either the scenery is nothingness itself, or ...... Forgive me for being incompetent, and I really can't see anything. β
Mo Liang asked, "Is she in the realm of death and life?" β
Xiao didn't speak, he was silent for a while before replying, not sure.
In fact, there is no need for him to ask, the master and apprentice also know that such a description is afraid of more than one bad luck. Perhaps she may have been lost in the gap between the six realms, and she has not been able to escape until now; Perhaps he was seriously injured and unconscious...... Either way, let them see the ominous. Ikeri stared at them blankly, not knowing what to say. In some cases, her reaction was relatively weak, not really affectionate, but she couldn't understand - she was too young to face a cruel environment, grew up in loneliness, and had nothing but the company of a mourning god, and it was still a little difficult to fully understand normal human feelings.
But fortunately, she met Mo Liang. This is the first time she has "resonated" with whomever she wants to "help" and "protect". Mo Liang is the opposite of her, in addition to the factors of his nature, he has seen too many things and experienced too many things, but he can subjectively downplay many things.
And Akatsuki is a monster again. Strictly speaking, the three of them can't fully empathize with the real joy and anger, maybe as inhuman things, the cloud mirror that has witnessed the vicissitudes of thousands of years, but they know the most.
I can't save her for the time being.
Next question.
Where is Shi Wu abandoned?
Xiao stopped talking again.
"What do you see? Anything goes! It's the one who knows the Lord of the Hundred Skeletons, the one that the monsters know. There was a woman beside him, a corpse, but she listened to him. β
Dai Luan was a little anxious, gesturing with her hands and feet. Her excitement had not yet subsided, and she was eager to know the whereabouts of her friends who she hadn't seen for too long. Kexiao's reaction was no better than just now, which made the two of them very anxious.
"This time I ...... I can't see anything. Xiao said helplessly, "It's just that when you were calling his name, I saw a moment of blood. Yes, for a moment. β
Chi Li was a little puzzled: "Is that person dead?" β
Xiao sighed softly: "Maybe, no." There was a moment of blood, and I was sure I saw it. But what is that? He may still be alive, somewhere outside of the world. But is he human in that case? Or is it an inhuman existence such as ghosts? I'm not sure. β
The others were speechless for a moment. Shanhai didn't know whether to feel relieved or more lost, to be precise, there was some subtle panic in his mentality. Even if Xiao directly told them that he was dead, this result would make them feel better. It's not that they really want the Lord of the Hundred Bones to usher in some kind of liberation, but their instinctive selfishness makes them yearn for this kind of relief to be their own - just like the case of Liangqiu Muwan, there is no affirmative answer, there is only a glimmer of hope.
But that's just too slim...... It's so tiny that it's negligible, but it's stuck deep in the flesh of your fingertips. You can't pull it out, and you can't turn a blind eye. What's worse is that the stinging pain it brings goes straight to the heart, and it hurts and itches but can't scratch it, making people die and live.
"I don't want to hear such ambiguous answers......" Dai Luan shook her head sadly.
There is no way for the mountains and seas, neither is Xiao, and Shui Wujun can't interfere. Nor can they say words of consolation, so they can only pin their hopes on the third issue.
Where is the Ten Thousand Ghosts?
"The realm of life and death." Xiao said.
Dai Luan frowned, feeling like she had listened to a nonsense. She wanted to complain a little. Knowing that she had said it, and didn't want to get such an ambiguous answer, he just gave a statement that seemed to be accurate but actually didn't say anything, which was like playing tricks. But if she could, Akatsuki wished she was joking. He tried to tell them in an easy-to-understand way.
This is indeed a definite answer. I'm sure it's in such a place. Moreover, it is protected by a special kind of enchantment. At that time, after the Ten Thousand Ghost Zhi was lost from Liangyue-kun's hands, I fell into a deep sleep for a long time, and I had no way of knowing its whereabouts. Now I can see itβin a place that belongs to the human world. But at the same time it belongs to another world. β
Before Dai Luan started to make trouble, Shui Wujun interjected first.
"The place mentioned by the cloud mirror does exist, and there is even more than one. Nahe Bridge, Sansheng Stone, Futou River, Yellow Spring on this bank, and many bits and pieces of places all belong to the boundary of life and death. Among them, the Burial River is the easiest and safest place for humans to reach and return. β
ββ¦β¦ But what's the use of knowing? Dai Luan said dejectedly, "I don't want to know where the Ten Thousand Ghosts are, and I don't want to help Liangyue-kun anymore." I want them back. β
Shui Wujun pondered for a while and asked her, "Did Liangyuejun promise to fulfill any wish for you?" Maybe you can go to Wankizhi first, and then let him figure out a way when you return it to him. Naturally, I'll help you when I'm busy with tasks. β
Shan Hai looked embarrassed: "Where can I find this?" According to you, there are so many places to go. Moreover, as Luan said, the whereabouts of Wan Ghost Zhi have long been ...... Inconsequential. It may be a bit irresponsible to say this, but we didn't promise Liangyue-kun from the beginning. We only met at the recommendation of Jiyue-kun......"
"Ah, Jiyue-kun." Xiao interrupted him suddenly, "Jiyue-kun is about to come over." β
"What?"
"It's been a long time since we've seen him." Shanhai pondered, "Is he done with the business on his hands?" He's here now, and it's ...... again."
"He also has two apprentices with him." Xiao added.
Apprentice? Shanhai and Ah Luan thought about it, and did remember that there was such a thing. The two assassins of Wule City were indeed willing to learn from him, and broke off their contact with Zuo Ganmen. How did they find it, and what was the hurry?
"He always finds us."
Dai Luan said this suddenly, but her tone was very reassuring. Shanhai really felt strange about this, and in the past, it was always logical to think that Jiyuejun could find it, after all, where are there so many coincidences?
"Well, because he has the fetal hair that Rin Michi had when he was a child." Akatsuki replied.
"Ah......h
Shanhai really didn't think of it. He turned around and took a few steps out of the cave. The sky was bright, but it was harsh, not as soft as the scene in the outer clouds. The others took two steps after him, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he turned his head to look at Mo Liang, his expression a little gloomy and worried.
"What's wrong with you?" Mo Liang asked politely.
"I ...... I may be able to help you, but I can't guarantee it. β
Chiri's eyes lit up for a moment, and she took another step forward. She walked towards the mountains and seas, undisguised her fiery desire.
"You have a way, don't you? That's right, you're also an onmyoji, you must have a way! β
"No, no, no, don't say that...... I'm a little worried. Shanhai smiled bitterly, "I once made a promise easily, but in the end I didn't fulfill my promise, leaving a bad shadow for that child, and the ending was ...... It's not good, either. I don't want to promise you anything in such an absolute way, but I just want to say that there is a possibility of this. β
"You say!"
"Me and Jiyue-kun...... It's an old friend. As for Mo Liang's matter, he may be able to trouble him, and Ye Yuejun will intervene in the investigation. And Shui Wujun, I want you to take a look at his sword. Xiao Liang, is your sword on your body? β
Mo Liang shook his head, but turned to walk towards Xiao. Xiao held the cloud mirror in his hand and let him reach into the mirror as if it were piercing the surface of the waterβjust without ripples. Immediately, the bone sword was pulled out by him and held it in his hand. He took the sword and walked towards the mountains and seas, looked him up and down again, and still handed the sword into his hand.
Shan Hai took the bone sword with both hands and held it in front of Shui Wujun.
