Volume 1 Huangquan December, Chapter 106: Quiet words make color
It was another long night sheltered by the hazy moonlight.
September has come to an end. Everything has cooled down so quickly that no one is prepared. The streets are also deserted. In this remote alley, no one wants to stay for one more moment at night like this.
This is a cheap inn. The site is not big, but it has three floors. It looks precarious from a distance. The room on the top floor even leaks air, and it is also the cheapest. In this inconspicuous place, one person is not
Ordinary guests stay here.
There was no wind tonight, and the air was still cold. He sat alone by the window, and the small room was illuminated by candles. The sharp blade was held in his hand and had been carefully wiped. He
He raised the horizontal knife, and the dark blade reflected a lifeless face.
The fire trembled slightly for a moment, but no wind came.
He tilted the knife out of the window and let the candle shine on the knife, so that he could carefully examine the scratches on it.
"That's my tea cup." He said without looking back.
At some point, the monster sitting by the bed held up the cup on the bed table and was stunned for a moment. Then he smiled.
"You should kill him."
He knew that he was talking about the man who came to intervene.
"There's no need," he said quietly, "it costs a knife and there's no reward."
"One fly attracts swarms of flies."
"I do not care."
"That's right...you are an expert when it comes to protecting yourself wisely. But let me tell you, the quality of this tea and the location of this shop are not very suitable for your status, right?"
"I don't like publicity." He put the knife into its sheath, and the blade was tightly sealed. "I don't like staying here. Get out as soon as possible."
"Oh, Mr. Tang is so ruthless. It's too cold outside."
"It's pretty much pretending."
"It's really shameless." Mr. Xueyue put down the tea cup, "Don't forget who rewarded you with the money you recently received. If I hadn't stopped you, I'm afraid that woman would have died at the hands of Sister Yun."
Tang He turned his face slightly in his direction.
"That woman is admittedly not very powerful, but looking at her attire, she is from Xueyangu. When I fought with her, I felt that her martial arts and swordsmanship should not be underestimated. With those two cripples trying to kill her, she might not be good enough.
Whoever takes action at that time will still not be able to turn to Zuo Zhenmen."
Kuchuetsu-kun lazily propped himself up beside the bed, resting one hand on the small wooden table and lifting up the other person's tail with the other hand. The latter just frowned slightly to show his displeasure, just thinking that he would say something annoying again, so he immediately
His hands were chopped off.
"You know what? You are very powerful, but you are not popular with others."
"There are so many places where I'm not welcome, and it's not your turn to point your fingers at me."
"You are too arrogant, Tang He."
The figure next to the bed flashed and disappeared in an instant. In the blink of an eye, the monster suddenly sat next to the big table, supporting his face with one hand. He took a breath and continued:
"You have capital - but you can't underestimate others too much. Defeating ten groups with one force is indeed your style. But only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
"speak English."
"You let monsters speak human language?" He said happily, "But... those sisters are not easy to deal with. Most people can hold three souls and seven souls in one body. The two of them are like each other's ears and voices.
Like limbs, like a soul supporting two bodies at the same time. One person can't help it no matter what."
"I alone am enough."
"Yes, you have always been 'alone'."
He knew what Lord Xueyue meant, and his brows furrowed even more tightly. Tang He realized that he couldn't speak too harshly about the six-path impermanence in front of him that he didn't understand - and also the monster he didn't understand.
.Kuchue-kun is right, he does need his help. Because he knows what he wants and how to do it.
This was a bargain he couldn't refuse.
Naturally, the bargaining chip is the transaction, and the transaction must have a price. As for what Lord Xueyue wants from him, or what he is doing, this cunning monster really did not mention a word. Tang He is not stupid, but he is very aware of this situation.
The danger of not mentioning the cost never means mutual benefit - there is never a win-win thing in the world, just like there is no free lunch, or pie in the sky. Everything, every thing, is secretly unknown
The price is marked unknowingly, you can only see it if you are smart enough.
He knows that he is not smart enough in front of Hongxuan Changye, after all, the other party is so good at deceiving. Therefore, either the price is something he cannot afford for the time being, but Lord Xueyue is willing to put a long-term risk to catch the big fish; or he is unwilling
However, Lord Xueyue insisted on paying. He also knew that he would not let go of something.
Indeed, another possibility cannot be ruled out - he may not have thought about what he wants to ask for from himself. The mind of the monster has always been elusive, especially the damn foresight of the six paths of impermanence, which makes it even more difficult to start. In a short time
He has clearly realized that even if Lord Kutsutsuki is just looking for fun with him, it is not impossible.
There are many people who kill for fun, not to mention monsters.
But Tang He knew very well that he was not one of them.
He can find a reason for anything he does, anything he takes, and anyone he kills. Reasons are different from excuses. Excuses are used to deal with other people, and reasons can convince himself. In terms of purpose, utilitarianism
No matter what, he admitted that at least every reason he had was legitimate - or thought he was legitimate.
For such a purpose, he visited the famous Bai Skeleton Lord a few years ago. But he did not get the answer. It would be better to say that the answer was not what he wanted. However, he seemed to have seen him in Wule City...
It's not important. He always forgets unimportant things quickly.
"If you have nothing to do, just go." He said calmly, "This bed can't accommodate two people."
"Nothing serious, but...have you ever heard of Wangui Zhi?"
"I heard that Liangyue-kun's belongings were lost." He responded simply.
"Huh? Why aren't you moved at all?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
"It has nothing to do with you... but it does have something to do with me and the good sister you miss so much."
Tang He was stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses. He looked at Lord Xianyue with doubts in his eyes.
"Don't dare to tell me any nonsense just to fool me. What Wangui Zhi remembers is your monster's things, and Tang Yu..."
Halfway through the words, he swallowed it back. He seemed to vaguely understand something.
"That's not true. The fate of the Six Paths of Impermanence is tightly held in the hands of that adult... Their names are not in the book of life and death. Naturally, there will be no memory of me in the book of ghosts. What's more, it is just an evening book.
It's just what Wen Xiang wrote. He and I are colleagues, and he can't do anything to me. However, he wrote me in, but it can't change anything. He just made it clear that I am a monster. It's ridiculous, right? Limitation.
The strokes are clear and fast. Anyway, the so-called non-my race..."
"To the end with Tang Yu——"
"Why are you so anxious? This is not what you want to say. Your puppy must have been written on it... Just look at how its memory is described, and you will know that your sister... Although if you take this as your goal, you will become a lot of people.
A human opponent still needs to kill a lot of people who are in the way."
He had to admit that he was tempted. As for killing people, he didn't care how many people he killed. Tang He looked at Lord Xueyue, the smile in his eyes did not diminish, the golden three suns and moon became more and more eye-catching, making people dizzy.
"Actually, you want this thing, right?"
"Well... I didn't want it at first. When another colleague and friend of mine told me that Wan Guizhi was stolen, I had no idea, just like you. But I have changed my mind now."
Tang He didn't care what happened to Lord Xueyue, but he did want to know the reason. Knowing the reason, he could judge Lord Xueyue's sincerity and the potential to frame him. So he did not interrupt him,
Wait quietly for him to continue.
Lord Xueyue, however, kept silent.
"It's nothing special, don't expect so much." He smiled, "If it's not enough, I can tell you... I need an agent. That's what you're worried about, and it's the price for me to help you. How about it, it's a good deal, isn't it?"
"acting?"
"After all, it belongs to Liangyue-kun. If it appeared in my hands, even that adult would find it inappropriate."
"The demon Yama is really tolerant of you."
"That's natural. Where there is light, there is shadow. Where there is good, there is naturally evil. And there are some evils that the Lord of the End cannot do. At this time, I have to do it for you."
It was easy for Tang He to understand the meaning of his words. Lord Xueyue's so-called agent was just a puppet. He was not someone who wanted to be manipulated by others. He only liked to get money to do things. Obviously, Lord Xueyue would not give
He pays. When his goal is achieved, he will definitely come up with new ways to restrict and control himself. This is not what he likes.
But Tang He will not give up this opportunity. So after the thing is done, it takes an appropriate time to get rid of this monster.
"So what if Wangui Zhi is in your hands or mine? Without the judge's pen and Liangyue-kun's bloody ink, the words on it cannot be changed."
"You're an assassin, don't you know how to get it?"
"..."
"Tsk, think about it carefully."
The candle swayed again, this time it was a gust of breeze. It was too fragile, like a slim hope. Even so, it was still burning hard, providing a ray of light in the suffocating night.
The other street separated from this place is more prosperous, as if a wall separates the two worlds. On the eaves of this store, two bored people sat. Sometimes they looked at the hazy moonlight, sometimes at the stars.
street scene.
Suddenly, Yue'e stretched out her hand and pointed at the somewhat dilapidated, three-story inn in the distance. The whole area was dark, with only the windowed room at the top letting out a little faint warm light.
