Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 214: Something Different
It's too slow.
This is an inadvertent but sinister provocation.
Ruyuejun gently hugged Dai Luan, her movements were gentle and cautious, like protecting the little flowers torn by the wind. But it wasn't that hard, and she didn't seem to mind the intensity of the gust.
The new blade flicked the horizontal knife away, and two white lights flashed in front of her eyes, and the two men who had exchanged blades retreated. Dai Luan poked her head out of Ruyuejun's arms and saw a person she didn't know. He wore a black and white straight jacket, but the hem was shorter than the normal one, presumably to facilitate movement. There was a dark purple pattern on the fabric, which faintly flashed with his movements. He wore a hat, which was different from what the girls usually wore. The light black veil reaches only to the shoulders, covering the face firmly. But without thinking too much, Dai Luan was sure that it must be the six realms of impermanence.
Yin and Yang go to the stream, God has no king.
The basis for judgment is the yin-yang scimitar in his hand. A blade is pitch black, devouring all the light that shines away. The blade was carved with flowers, but up and down in his hand, Dai Luan couldn't see it, only felt that there was a small white dot, which should be embedded in the white Qiongyu. The other knife was silvery-white, like reflective snow, bright and even a little unnatural. The same is true for the sword, inlaid with a piece of black jade, which should be black jade. At first, Dai Luan thought he was holding a black scimitar in his left hand and a white scimitar in his right, but she was wrong. The two knives switched between his hands so quickly that it was not even noticeable that he had changed hands. These two black and white lines kept changing positions, flowing with each of his moves.
It's so fast, it's so fast that their eyes can't fool themselves. Seeing that he was still here at this time, the position of the person clearly did not change in the next moment, and an identical shadow appeared in another place in the distance. Shanhai guessed that he was mistaken, and put his attention back to the original territory, only to find that he was no longer there, and even appeared in the third place.
With speed alone, maybe Tang He can parry it. But he thought it wouldn't workβnot for the time being. The power in Kango-kun's hand barely thought about it, as if he was fighting with all his might with each sword, but he could never guess how much strength he had left. Like a murmuring trickle, the battle is like a stormy wave. He had to engage all his senses.
I don't know if the two knives were made of two completely different materials, or if they were similar to each other using different processes. They don't have the same structure, and the sound of hitting their own knives is not the same. Tang He heard an unnatural hum coming from his horizontal knife, and he immediately withdrew his hand. He heard it, and if he didn't withdraw it, the old knife would break him.
The judgment was correct. Tang He retreated a step back, and the ground in front of him was carved out of a deep ravine by the sword qi. The ground here is relatively soft, not to mention rocks, and even a piece of pig iron can be torn apart. He kicked sideways in the air, Shen Wujun bent down, and Tang He's legs brushed against the blades of his double knives. However, Tang He's purpose was not to do him any harm, but to hook off his hat with the tip of his shoe.
"Trick up!"
The hood spun and flew out, cutting a black arc in the air, and was firmly caught in Ruyuejun's hand.
Looking at Shen Wujun again, he didn't mean to panic a little, he was still calm, and he didn't breathe after a set of knife techniques. His back was facing them, his long sandalwood hair was tied low into a thin strand, the ends hanging down from his waist, and he looked like an ordinary person. He is taller than Tang He, but not as tall as Shi Wuqi, and there is nothing outstanding in his physique. It's just that Dai Luan noticed that Tang He's expression showed a little surprise for a moment. If it was in a decisive battle, he would have been very careful to hide all his emotions, and he would not have time to make the rest of his expressions. It's just that now they've stopped, and what he's seeing now allows him to be a little more presumptuous in managing his expressions.
So, what did he see?
Kanna-kun glanced back and confirmed that his hat was with Ruyue-kun. Ruyuejun pinched the brim of his hat and waved at him, signaling that he was relieved. But this time, it was Dai Luan's turn and the others to be surprised.
The eyes of the gods are indeed the eyes of the six realms of impermanence. In each of the pupils, a delicate, golden crescent moon shimmered brightly. But the pupils were white, pure white and flawless, like snow and clouds. The golden three-sun and moon ring was embedded in the white circle, enveloping it.
The part that should be the white of the eye is jet-black with a slight cool luster. The color here was supposed to belong to the pupil, but in his eye sockets, black and white were replaced, like looking up at the vast sky under two pitch-black dry wells.
Ruyuejun felt Dai Luan's momentary froze, and said in a harmonious voice: "Shenwujun is like that. At first glance, it's a bit scary...... But nothing, just get used to it. His way of reconciling yin and yang is different from ordinary people. β
Tang He has never met such an opponent, at least in the human world, in the realm of human beings, no. A somewhat familiar conversation came to his mind, from a long time ago with the Immortal Moon Monarch.
"Among your colleagues, in your opinion, whose strength is above you?"
"What, you're itching? This question makes me think that you are underestimating me, do you dare to fight me? Not...... Forget it, it's not interesting. In my opinion, the six realms of impermanence are all general. The only ones who can fight with me are Gu Jia Qianlong and Yin and Yang. A martial arts fanatic who has gone mad, and a ...... Strange people who look like people and are not human. β
Strange people who look like people and are not human.
Or monsters.
He took a deep breath, trying to regain his composure. But he was wrong, he shouldn't have done it. When you inhale, the alveoli become dry and unable to be filled with air and expand, as if they are hardened. It feels like a person who is deprived of oxygen, no matter how much he pants, he can't completely sink the required air into his lungs, and he only feels that it is difficult to breathe.
Miasma, miasma everywhere...... He remembered Ruyue-kun's medicine, but now was not the time to use it. According to him, he didn't know what the woman was thinking. Didn't she want to let herself get the Ten Thousand Ghosts? It's hard to say if it's poisonous.
On the other hand, looking at Shen Wujun, Tang He simply doubted whether he was breathing during the fight. He grasped the rhythm of the battle too well, and his breath was very steady. And the weapon......
"Take them away."
Shen Wujun's voice was nothing special, just a little empty, like a low whistle from a distant mountain stream, but the speed of his speech was fast and short, without any mud and water, making people feel that every word he said was the point.
Ruyuejun took Ah Luan and led the other two to go. Mu Wan asked, "Where to go?" β
"Xungong." Ruyuejun asked, "Don't you want to go out?" β
"We're coming for you." Shanhai said.
"Then we have to go to Dumen. Don't stay in the murder gate for too long and lose your life. β
Tang He must have wanted to stop them, but Shen Wujun's sword didn't think so.
On the way, several people used the medicine that Ruyuejun gave them. It's not refreshing, after all, they still walk through the miasma. But they did feel that their throats were much moister, and the smell of the air was less strange β though a little habitual. The potion feels better, and if it weren't for it, it might be difficult for the person in it to notice that they are "worse".
Rin Shankai asked why they came here, how they came here, and what they were looking for her for...... The ins and outs of all this have been clearly explained to Ruyuejun. She still doesn't know the situation of the tengu, and she can only judge if she leaves this place. As for the Gu worm in Xie Hualing's body, Ruyuejun said so.
"Wouldn't it be nice to go find the Shadow Pavilion?"
ββ¦β¦ If you want to go there, who will go to great lengths to find you! β
Dai Luan complained angrily, Ruyuejun smiled and patted her head, and then said:
"I'm not joking. It is often said that medicine and poison are homologous...... But there are still many differences between medicine and Gu. I can give you a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, and I can't guarantee that there will be any problems in the future, and you will blame me again when the time comes. You Tiangu, I also suggest going to ask Gao Yuejun to take a look, I say nothing counts. β
"We ...... I don't feel at ease with Gao Yuejun. Shanhai sighed and said, "I have also dealt with her head-on, although I don't think there is anything wrong with her personally, but she is not easy to deal with." β
"And she seems to be the same as the Immortal Moon Monarch." Mu Wan added. She really didn't want to send the tengu to the side where it was the culprit who hurt it.
Ruyuejun patiently explained: "I can understand you thinking so. Back then, Gao Yuejun fed Gu with his body and turned into a Gu pool, and he didn't have much affection for his human compatriots, but he was full of interest in the millions of love, hatred, and hatred in the world. Her soul wandered in the world after her body was hollowed out, and her name was not in the book of life and death. Immortal Moon Jun felt that this human being was a little new, and when she brought it to that adult, she became the six realms of impermanence, and she could be regarded as having a home. After all, I think she just didn't understand all of these things, and she wanted to understand them, which is why she set up the Shadow Pavilion. The monster is complicated and complicated, simple and simple, and the loyalty of her subordinates does not contradict the nature of holding the demon. β
Mu Wan still didn't quite understand what she meant: "What do you want to say......"
"Don't look for those five, look for her. Just come up with the quid pro quo that she was interested in, and the problem would be solved. Well, if you go out from Dumen, it's very close to Qinglize. β
"We'll have to wait for Wu Qi to come along." Dai Luan frowned, "We don't want to lose him anymore. And Ah Qi is not with him, we suspect that he is locked out. β
Mu Wan agreed, and also felt that it was necessary for them to go back to the door.
"Is that so? Speaking of which, Jiyue-kun is around there. This movement may attract him to meet you. β
"Really?" Dai Luan rolled her eyes, "We haven't seen him in a long time. However, I thought it strange at first, this barrier isolated all demonic energy, and its miasma caused ordinary people to slowly lose their lives. From this point of view, in addition to suppressing the desolate skeletons, it seems that it is specially given to the six realms that are not commonly used. β
Ruyuejun let out that gentle and gloomy laugh again, as if to express praise.
Shanhai, who has always been in front, is moving slowly this time. He walked slowly behind him, suddenly stopped, and stopped Ruyue-kun. He had a question in his mind, which he hadn't said since just now. And this question may also be in the minds of the other two girls, but they have not yet found the time to speak.
He should have asked that question now.
"Your Excellency Ruyue...... Forgive your insolence. Since this Nine Palaces Gossip Array is mentioned, I will say a few more words. Its layout and considerations made me feel familiar at first, and I only thought about it when I mentioned Gao Yuejun, this method is very much in line with the style of the Shadow Pavilion. You seem to have a crush on them. β
"Not bad."
Ruyue-kun nodded, waiting for his next question.
"And...... You just mentioned that you actually know that all ghosts are here. β
"Yes."
She still answered him briefly, which made Shanhai a little overwhelmed. But he cleared his mind and continued.
"You seem to have a good relationship with Liang Yuejun, why don't you tell him?"
"Because someone doesn't want him to know."
