The alarm bell in her heart suddenly sounded, and Mu Wan instinctively took a step back. She couldn't blame her. When people are threatened with death in a short period of time, no one except their parents will subconsciously protect others. Even lovers who love each other deeply, sometimes
It’s hard to beat the consciousness of survival.
Shanhai's reaction was a little slow, and he couldn't guess what Setsuyue-kun was going to do. But he quickly told them the answer with his actions - he suddenly tightened his grip on Kapok's neck and lifted her up easily.
Everyone was shocked. Although Kapok probably no longer relied on the trachea to breathe, this action still symbolized that his life would be threatened. They wanted to stop him, especially Mu Wan recently, even though they knew that the umbrella might no longer work, they still decided
He pulled it out. But Lord Xueyue dodged back and hugged Kapok horizontally, as if she was as light as a ball of cotton. This time he turned around and appeared behind the mountain and sea. Just as he turned around, Xueyue
You are further away again.
"I advise you not to come." Lord Xueyue said with a smile, "If you don't come, she can still live."
Mu Wan turned towards him in the opposite direction, but he had already disappeared into the hazy miasma. The situation became anxious, Dai Luan stamped her feet eagerly, pointed in the direction they left and said:
"We have to save her!"
"How to save him?" Lord Ruyue asked calmly, "That child should have nothing to do with you."
"No, it does matter, it does matter!" Mu Wan clenched her fist on her left side and an umbrella on her right side, "That child saved my life back then, so we can't let anything happen to her."
Surprisingly, Shanhai was unusually calm. His face did show concern, but he just said so.
"Why did he hold Miss Kapok hostage... instead of any of us? If he didn't take action against me and Aluan, maybe he was concerned about the existence of Lord Ruyue, but Liangqiu was very close to him. Looking at the strength, he could even take her
The umbrella breaks easily. But why didn’t you do this? Kisaragi-kun, what do you think?”
"I... don't know this person very well. But I bet, if he says he won't let you go, it's best not to go. That's the palace. Although it's also Zhongpingmen, the Jingmen prisoner died in autumn and winter. You can't go back.
Go to this world."
Dai Luan glanced in the direction he came from, and the melancholy appeared on his face again, the melancholy of an adult.
"We can't leave yet... Shi Wuqi hasn't caught up yet, and Aqi's whereabouts are unknown."
Lord Ruyue looked a little helpless: "This is really...that's all. I can't weigh the pros and cons for you. But let me make it clear first. After leaving the Xun Palace, the time in this world will be extended a little longer, and I don't know about the Kan Palace.
So what should Miss Jiang do? Going southwest from the palace is the Kun Palace, and the Kun Palace is the door to death."
"We will not go any further. We will only chase her to the palace and try our best to save her. If we go deeper into dangerous places, we will...have nothing to do."
The purpose of Shanhai's words was, on the one hand, to give an explanation to Lord Ruyue, and on the other hand, to appease Mu Wan's mood. But Lord Ruyue did not change much, but the latter became more anxious. Mu Wan said:
"There's no time to waste, I'll take the first step."
She ran over in a hurry. Dai Luan wanted to chase her, but looked back at Ru Yuejun. Seeing that she had no intention of following, he sighed with regret and went after Mu Wan. Shanhai followed up, but Ru Yuejun suddenly called out to him.
"Wait a moment, Master Lin. Let me tell you one last thing. I am here to appease the order that the Hundred Skeleton Master had previously disrupted. The Desolate Skull has indeed returned to the seal of the Central Palace, but three of the eight gates have been disturbed. If he comes out again,
What could happen to cause chaos again? When the time comes, although he will not make things difficult for us, the Six Paths of Impermanence, he will inevitably have murderous intentions towards you."
"...Thank you for your reminder. I will keep it in mind. We will try not to make any noise. I'm sorry for what happened before."
"No wonder you guys. Go quickly."
With that said, Lord Ruyue turned around and walked away first. Lin Shanhai watched her walk a few steps, then turned around and chased the two girls. The three of them ran all the way to the Li Palace. Jingmen was prone to talking, and often suffered bloody disasters. He was well versed in the Nine Palaces.
However, Lin Shanhai of Eight Gates of Principles hopes to a certain extent that these things will not really happen.
Although the three people did not move separately, they looked in three directions, with eyes and ears listening in all directions. Shanhai was walking in the middle, Dai Luan and Mu Wan looked to the left and right respectively, paying attention to their feet while being alert to everything around them.
They shouted occasionally, but no one responded, only the pervasive miasma followed them. Dai Luan felt a chest tightness and shortness of breath, and almost fell into the mud. Shan Hai reminded them to drink the medicine, and then the symptoms of several people were relieved. On the way, they
I noticed that compared to before, there was no driftwood here at all. Perhaps it was because it was facing Xiumen where I came from, and was the farthest away from the "Peach Garden" back then.
After walking for a while, Mu Wan saw the outline of something vaguely revealed in the depths of the swamp.
"Who's there!"
She shouted loudly, and both of them looked over. The miasma seemed to be thinner, or maybe it was because the shadow was getting closer and its appearance gradually became clearer.
There was a protruding stone in the middle of the swamp, and Kuchugetsu-kun was standing there upright. He was holding Kapok's arm with one hand, and she was leaning on the edge of the stone in a very dangerous posture. As long as Kuchugetsu-kun let go, she would definitely
Fall down.
She probably wanted to shout something - but it was useless. Her face had obvious lines of trees, and her mouth was like a ravine on the tree trunk. But it seemed that the ravine had begun to heal, leaving only
There were signs of dryness and cracking on her lower body. She couldn't make a sound and was so stiff that she couldn't move.
She probably wanted to shout, or maybe she didn't want to make a sound, and wanted to let them leave quickly, but no one could guess what she wanted to say. Shanhai couldn't see anything from her face, but she seemed to be able to feel the wooden
Under the outer shell, her trapped soul let out a sharp cry, hoarse at the top of her lungs.
"Oh, I guess you will come."
"Let him go."
Ignoring the inappropriate sweetness in his tone, Shan Hai's face dropped.
"Why can't you understand what I mean? Is what I say so inhumane?"
As if he was amused by what he said, Lord Kuchue let out a creepy chuckle. Shanhai knew that his apprentice and friend must be furious, and wanted to rush forward and tear the smiling mouth apart. But he was surprisingly calm,
Maybe it was out of anger. He calmed down and repeated it.
"I said let him go."
"Why? I made it very clear, as long as you don't chase her, she won't die. It was you who violated the rules first. Even if she dies, you can't blame me." He moved his face closer to Kapok, whose eyes were
He turned around in panic, but couldn't escape control, "I don't like killing people... I like to borrow other people's hands and watch you kill people."
This rhetoric may imply more than just them, not just Tang He, and even more than Sakimenro. His style has been like this since the day he was born, so there is no need to guess. Mu Wan, others, and others who interacted with him all
It's easy to imagine his behavior, but I never know why. He was born to be the antonym of good, but that gentleman reused him to a considerable extent, just because of his real personal ability and damn similarity to that gentleman.
part of the concept.
"No one should obey the bullshit rules you set!" Dai Luan scolded, "Give her back! Killing is killing, don't make those high-sounding excuses!"
Lord Xueyue raised his eyebrows provocatively.
"Really? Is this your thing?" He sneered, "I, the majestic Hongxuan, need to make excuses for killing people all night long? Since you think I need it, I will find one for you now - this is not murder, just
, kill a piece of wood.”
Lord Xueyue let go of his hand.
Mu Wan almost rushed forward, but was caught by Shan Hai's side shoulder. His force was very heavy, which caused a burst of pain in his shoulder, but he finally stopped his movement. Kapok fell into the swamp and was slowly swallowed by the mud. It was a long period of time.
The silence, without struggling or shouting, was extremely suffocating. It seemed as if what was slowly sinking was not a person, a monster, or a tree, but just a piece of wood, just a piece of wood.
Before the kapok completely sank in, the "hand" similar to Ximen's receiving the bodhi string stretched out again. But it didn't look like mud, but fire - two high and twisted red flames shot out from the swamp.
, hugged her tightly. Just at the edge where her body was in contact with the mud, a small fire slowly lit up. This was simply a kind of torture. Put your body on a slow fire and slowly torture it. The wood will feel pain.
? They don't know. But there must be a soul.
More fire spurted out from the swamp. The heat wave lifted the hem of Kuchtsuki-kun's clothes and long hair. In front of the scorching red background, the monster once again reminded them that this is a monster and will always be a monster. The shadow cast on
They made the three of them take a few steps back involuntarily, adding a layer of surprise to their grief and anger, as well as the instinctive fear of fire in living creatures.
Jingmen belongs to fire.
Wood makes fire.
Mu Wan suddenly recalled two words that Lord Xueyue said before - sacrifice.
That was not a sacrifice to the Desolate Skeleton... it was for him. She felt an indescribable fear and powerlessness, because everything seemed to be expected by him, including but not limited to the fact that they would catch up with Kapok.
"Is this... your purpose?" Dai Luan's voice was trembling. I don't know whether it was fear or anger, or both, "How can you trick us all here?"
"Not really, well..."
The miasma was dispersed by the fire, and the air became much purer, but some of the swamp gas was ignited, and the entire swamp burned with red waves. The burning sensation made their cheeks heat up, and it was filled with more fiery emotions.
The instigator seemingly innocently rolled his eyes, pointed his lips with his index finger, and thought for a moment.
"So far, it's still within my control. Alas, I know you humans so well, it's really hard to guess. Although I didn't expect to kill those two people, I was prepared to a certain extent.
...Well, isn’t everything going smoothly?”
The feeling of the demonic power returning to the body was like dew coming after a long drought. Lord Xueyue was a little too happy. The flowers on the center of his eyebrows seemed to have never been so fresh. The spreading demonic lines made that beautiful face look quite broken. He turned around in a circle
, feel the touch of the flame passing through your arms, like a stranded fish being thrown into the water again. But now it looks more like three innocent humans struggling in the fishing net.
"What on earth do you want to do?!" Mu Wan almost roared.
In comparison, the mountains and sea seemed too peaceful.
"...but three of the eight gates have been disturbed." He muttered softly.
"What?" Mu Wan didn't seem to hear clearly.
"Don't act rashly."
"No way!"
When she said this, Mu Wan was not the one to strike first - she used her umbrella as a shield to block the fireball shot by Lord Xueyue. The workmanship of Ye Yinlu was different from that of ordinary umbrellas, and the attack could be blocked to a certain extent, but
It won't be long.
"Only I have the weapons to deal with him. Don't let me drag you down and run to an open area."
Dai Luan knew that it was useless to be anxious. The Fire Element Jingmen should be the same as before. Even if there were Yin soldiers here, there would not be any weapons. They were all metal, restrained by fire.
Mu Wan didn't use an umbrella to attack him actively, but just blocked him step by step. He attacked, bringing a fierce fire behind him. In an instant, strange flames ignited in the swamp like a closed lotus, covering a large area. Mountains and seas.
He grabbed Aluan by the collar to avoid it and fell heavily to the ground. The two of them could only see strange shadows on the fire curtain, twisting and deforming, making it difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.
