Chapter one hundred and eighty-two: deep and shallow
What Lord Shuangyue wants is nothing more than an explanation from Long Miao. Although he is really too lazy to make this trip, he has no choice but to go through the formality. But now that Long Miao can't give an answer, he is just wasting his time here.
Until he actually made a decision. Even though everyone knows that verbal agreements never count, there is no need for any signature to make a decision. Although it sounds a bit arbitrary, after all, it is the person personally selected by the Lord of Naraku.
As for this, there is no such thing as honesty.
The adult is watching from below.
Mu Wan didn't know how to prove it to Lord Shuangyue. While she was meditating, Cangyu seized the opportunity. He immediately said to Lord Shuangyue: "I can also give you the explanation she can give. Not only can I use my own
The guarantee can be worth the reputation and even the lives of the Egret Demon clan. The way of killing is not our creed, so you can rest assured."
Lord Shuangyue began to think seriously, and Mu Wan angrily accused him of not caring about Long Miao's opinion at all, pointing out the path chosen by others.
"No, Miss Liangqiu." Long Miao suddenly stopped her, "You don't have to do so much for me."
"Are you willing to let him dictate your path?"
"Maybe he is right. After all, this is our housework and we shouldn't trouble you. Besides, I think you have important things to do. It's really not worthwhile to waste too much time here.
"
"But……"
Cang Yu took the opportunity to show sarcasm: "Yes, Miss Liangqiu. Aren't you with those people? Did you have a quarrel? Or were you separated due to some accident? This is not good. Instead of meddling in other people's business, it is better to be alone."
If things had gone by before, she would have rushed up to him and slapped him loudly.
Long Miao turned around and looked at Lord Shuangyue, took two steps forward, and asked him:
"Tell me, how can I prove myself?"
"It's not that troublesome -" Mr. Shuangyue stretched out a hand from his sleeve and spread it out, "Just give me any personal belongings of yours so that I can sense your movements in real time. If possible,
Please don't cause trouble all the time, and I don't want to run back and forth. Ah, if you really kill someone, or come into contact with some forbidden magic, I will probably still show up... Although I may not necessarily cause you trouble immediately, but still, I'll give it to you.
Knock, knock, don’t try to push the envelope.”
Mu Wan secretly thought that it was probably the same for Sakimenro before. But didn't something go wrong in the end? I don't know whose fault it was - just think it was those two annoying impermanent ghosts who were not doing things right.
On the back of Shuoyue Jun's extended hand, she saw that strange tattoo again. It was white and seemed to have a certain pattern, following specific lines. But she didn't know what it was, after all, its full picture was still hidden.
Under clothing.
"You, don't even think about it!" Kapok was worried, and she tried her best to protect him, "You can't control what he wants to do. Even if he wants to stay here, no one has the right to interfere! Long Miao, you
Aren't you in a hurry to leave?" She looked back at him worriedly. It could be seen that she had been alone for too long and really wanted a companion with whom she could talk more.
"...That's easy to say."
Long Miao actually agreed.
The clothes behind him had folds cut out, but they were not obvious. When he suddenly opened his wings, Mu Wan realized that there was actually space there, allowing the wings to stretch out. She was slightly surprised, looking at those white feathers, she felt a sense of wonder.
There is a vague and unreal feeling, as if you are looking directly at some kind of holy son of God.
Even though it was just a nondescript half-demon.
He stretched out the egret's wings on the right side, pulled them over, and pulled off three feathers from it. Then, the wings quickly retracted. This was all done in one go, much smoother than he had done at first. Cang Yu couldn't help but feel
He showed a look of joy, he was happy to see this progress, and that smile came from deep in his heart.
He separated one piece, let go of his hand, and a burst of air rolled it into the hands of Mr. Shuangyue on the roof. Mr. Shuangyue held it, looked at it repeatedly, made sure there was nothing wrong, and put it into his sleeve. He handed over the other one.
In Mu Wan's hand.
"I want to thank you." He said, "I know you are an Onmyoji. Don't be too rough by handing this thing to you. After all, I am penniless. But if you need any help in the future, please contact me.
, you are always welcome.”
Mu Wan nodded, not knowing what to say for a moment. Then, he looked at Kapok aside. The little girl's sadness was written on her face, and she could see that Long Miao was leaving.
"Why do you give me this?" she said angrily, "I don't need any memorial. Besides, I have taken root here and can't go anywhere."
Mu Wan's voice was a little soft, and she said tentatively: "Then...are you willing to be my shikigami?"
"Shikigami?"
"Well. The binding force of the contract far exceeds the root system of the flower spirit and wood spirit. If you also want to go far away, you can come with me."
Kapok wasn't sure whether he really wanted to see the wider world, or whether he simply couldn't bear to leave Longmiao. Who knew that in the morning, he went with him to the weird river to see the situation, but in the afternoon, things suddenly changed dramatically. This short-term change made
She had the illusion that she had when she lost her memory.
She thought for a long time, and no one interrupted her thoughts. But after a while, she made up her mind.
"Let's forget it," Kapok said.
Long Miao was a little curious: "Why? You don't want to..."
"I don't want to anymore. Why are there so many of them? In comparison, I would rather... I would rather wait for them to come back."
The people Kapok was talking about should have faded in her memory, friends who had disappeared around her. Although she only remembered a few bits and pieces, the love for this land and the passion for everything she had experienced in the past
Emotions are still flowing in her blood vessels. Just like the books a person has read and the meals she has eaten, as time goes by, some of them are integrated into the body forever.
Kapok probably figured it out and stopped making trouble. She took the feather and said nothing, but held it tightly.
"Alas, my good brother didn't prepare a gift for me."
Cang Yu sighed at the side. Long Miao turned around and looked at him for the first time.
"As you wish, I will go with you. In my life, I have nothing but the lives of the Taki family, and I am not afraid of anything. Besides, I don't think they are innocent. Since you want to take me back so much,
There is no need for me to hide and hide as if I have done something bad."
"Have you figured it out?" Cang Yu's eyes lit up, "You said yes and you are not allowed to go back on it."
"Integrity is the duty of being a human being. This is what humans taught me when I was a child. I have never doubted this sentence in my life. I will not suddenly run away halfway, but I also want to tell you, if I still care about the situation of my tribe,
If I am dissatisfied, they still have ideas that are very different from mine. I will leave at any time and do what I want to do - even if I am alone."
"Okay, okay, no problem." Cang Yu nodded repeatedly, with excitement that could not be concealed on his face. As long as this person is around Long Miao, he is simple and easy to guess. He does not modify his emotions at all, maybe
This is the benefit of associating with some monsters.
In the end, both Long Miao and Cang Yu left. Kapok looked at their retreating figures without saying a word. Her eyes looking at Mu Wan were full of sadness, knowing that she would not stay. Fortunately, the time of their contact was short.
Not long, no deep feelings. She just said goodbye to her briefly, turned around and ran into the house and closed the door. She didn't know if she was quietly sad alone.
Mu Wan and Shuangyue Jun were left looking at each other.
"Aren't you leaving?" Mu Wan asked him, "Your goal should be accomplished. Why do you continue to stay here?"
"What about you? Aren't you leaving?" Lord Shuangyue asked, "Do you want to follow me and leave this desolate land?"
"So what? Could it be that you really spend a few days and nights here? I don't think the six paths of impermanence are so free."
Mr. Shuangyue was not annoyed, and just shrugged indifferently. He jumped down from the eaves briskly, his movements were neat and crisp, without any preparation for jumping from a high place, but he was steady. He nodded and answered her, indeed not
idle.
"But I also walked through Lingmai. This place is very big, and walking here would be exhausting."
"..."
Mu Wan didn't want to ask him for help, but she knew there was no point in struggling here alone. She was hesitating and trying to organize her words. Lord Shuangyue was not stupid and had no intention of making things difficult for her, so he said in an indifferent tone:
"Since you are his apprentice, I can help you."
She accepted the kindness and let him go. The spiritual vein was not far or close to here, but when she walked there, it was completely dark. She raised her head, and the dense stars made her unable to open her eyes, and she didn't know where the moon was.
.
Lord Shuangyue didn't know when she took out the bell, and she didn't know when she entered the spiritual veins. Just by walking like this, they were already in this extraordinary place. When she lowered her head, she was startled, and her legs
There was darkness everywhere, but there were stars everywhere. It was as if the ground suddenly disappeared, and there were only two living creatures left in the entire empty world.
But the feeling of stepping on the ground was real, which made her incredible. Shuangyue Jun suddenly reminded her:
"Don't let your thoughts wander. You'll really miss your feet here. Just concentrate on walking."
Even if she didn't say it, she would become even more nervous.
In order to alleviate this anxiety, Mu Wan took the opportunity to ask some other questions to Lord Shuangyue.
"Have you not found your Demon-Sealing Blade yet?"
"Huh? Instead, I should ask you if you found it."
"No, I mean, you still don't know its whereabouts?"
"That's natural. Anyway, it comes and goes, and it's all in the human world. It should have been hidden. When it was circulated on the market decades ago, the price on the black market was so high."
"It's actually on the black market. It's such a waste."
"Don't people just like to do this? There's nothing wrong with it. However, there are also many imitations, but they are easy to identify."
“What can’t be pulled out is the real thing?”
"Yes. Many people have made a lot of viscose, but some of it melts when exposed to water, some melts by roasting it with fire, or directly burns the paper strips and tapes wrapped on it. So what is written on it is very particular.
, it can’t be lit at all. Some knifemakers simply weld the imitations to death, and then ask someone to cut them open with a saw. The inside is still hollow, and there is no blade at all. Do you think it’s perfunctory or not?”
Mu Wan wanted to laugh a little. But at this moment, Shuangyue Jun suddenly stopped. She almost bumped into him.
"What's wrong?"
"Shh." He suddenly raised his hand to signal, and Mu Wan quickly closed her mouth and looked around. But there was nothing except the starry night.
"...Who is coming?"
"Shigetsuki-kun?"
Such a strange sound came from the air, but Mu Wan couldn't find the source of the sound, and couldn't help but feel nervous.
