A distant, melodious, and extremely ethereal piano sound sounded.
The person who is most confused is probably Shan Hai. Over the years, he has never known what kind of "non-existent hands" are hidden in Ji Yuejun's empty sleeves. They are just two pairs of white bones, slender, but flexible,
Not a speck of flesh and blood remained on it. Time, like a ruthless vulture, pecked away any trace of life in these hands.
But they were so agile now. He couldn't see the flesh on them, but he could see the faint strings. They were made of pure spiritual power. When Lord Jiyue brushed the body of the piano with one hand, he used
Pulled out of five white bones. Ordinary people shouldn't be able to see the strings on it, but they can. Those lines are blue and white, and they disappear and appear as his fingertips stroke them.
The sound of the piano could not stop the invasion of the Yin soldiers. They rushed over with their teeth and claws, and the others hid behind him. This scene could not help but remind people of the illusion that Utsuki-kun had shown. Now, they are the little monsters who are being protected.
.For the souls of Shanhai, this scene may be all too familiar.
The melody changed, the rhythm became faster, and the melody took a sharp turn. The soft sound became sharp, still like some kind of musical instrument, but not a banjo. But these sounds did come from Jiyue Lord's bone hands. His hands sped up.
Without the movement, the music changed from melodious to bleak, clear and cold, with a chilling air wrapped around it in a trance.
He plucked the strings forward, and the changed tone burst out, like thousands of blades clashing with the Yin soldiers. The cavalry and infantry at the head were defeated by the sporadic music and turned into dust. More soldiers came up together, and in the strange and harsh sound
He launched a charge amidst the sound of the trumpet. Lord Jiyue continued to splash out the beautiful melody as if caressing through running water.
The waves of music swept through everything, leaving no grass growing anywhere. In the blink of an eye, the skeletons that swarmed in were gone.
Everything was wiped out by the movement of these hands.
The increasingly crowded field of vision suddenly became empty, which they were not used to. Shanhai took a step outside, vaguely feeling as unreal as a dream. Everything in their ears became quiet, like a cannon blast sweeping through a noisy market, with a loud bang.
After that, everything was desolate.
"You, you have hands..." Dai Luan whispered. Even so, the voice was very clear in the silent open space.
"I didn't expect that." Mr. Jiyue used his index finger to lower his eyelids and blinked, "But I can only play the piano."
There are no hands under the sleeves, and there are no strings on the piano. Even if I play for you, my broken soul will be lost.
"Is this also what Qin Mo said?" Shan Hai took a breath of cold air, "You..."
He knew very well that if they were not standing behind him, anyone hurt by this music would be distraught and unable to be reincarnated.
"Although I don't like this statement, but if I don't bring out the name of the Broken Finger Piano Demon, how can I deceive... How can I persuade those two good girls to become my apprentices? Tsk, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time. I kept this secret
The little secret is just for situations like this."
Dai Luan suddenly slapped his sleeve without warning: "Okay, if you have hands, let me feed them!"
"I, this, can't I only play the piano?"
They were joking together, but they didn't know that the fear in their hearts had not subsided. Mu Wan just looked at it with lifeless eyes. Shan Hai was a little worried. The last time this happened was when Qing Gui followed Yan Muxue's death. Re-establishment
The shield in my heart should be stronger, but if it is defeated now, it will definitely be a double blow.
But this time, she finally felt sad for herself. He didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
"Stop making trouble -" Shi Wuqi didn't relax at all, "What should I do with this big guy?"
Indeed. Although the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of them were temporarily eliminated, General Shi remained unscathed. He began to move away, and the music was filtered by the Yin soldiers, not to mention that he was too big. Now, they could finally see Huang clearly.
The whole picture of the skeleton. It turns out that the huge mountain-like figure is not the whole of him, only the upper body. The entire half of his body below the sternum is submerged in the swamp, and he is still slowly, slowly approaching here.
"It seems that General Shi has left some unhappy memories for you...but it doesn't matter, it should be sober now."
Just as Mr. Jiyue finished speaking, they suddenly heard the sound of blades scraping behind them. Fortunately, it was Mr. Kanna who came. He walked over calmly, took back the black knife, and wiped off the blood on the white blade with his hand.
Without looking at them, he naturally took the curtain hat that Lord Ruyue had kept for him and put it back on his head.
"It's good that you're fine..." Dai Luan's worry subsided a little, "The one with the surname Tang..."
"How's it going?" Kanna-kun interrupted her and asked Kisaragi-kun, "What should I do now? There's nothing to do. I'll call it a day."
"Wait a minute."
Ruyue-kun's tone became gloomy again. It would be better to say that this is how she has always been. She turned around and asked Shanhai:
"Have you decided? Where to go?"
Shi Wuqi didn't know yet that there were doors in other places. Shan Hai briefly summarized it and made the decision for him before he could answer.
"Let's go back to pick up Miss Qi."
Shi Wuqi opened his mouth but didn't say anything. Maybe he wanted to say that, but he felt it was inappropriate to delay them. He even considered that if they were going to Qinglize, he would leave first. Since mountains and seas are like this
After saying that, he felt a little embarrassed.
"I admire you." Lord Ruyue showed a smile, "Actually, returning does not require such trouble. Yin and Yang go to the stream, and I have one last thing to ask of you..."
She pointed at the middle palace. Before she could say anything, Kanna-kun suddenly went there. He moved very quickly and easily passed between the ribs of the desolate skeleton.
"Jingmen and Ximen are facing each other. Ask him to reverse the yin-yang formation in Zhongzhong Palace for you, and then you can return to Kan Palace. Don't worry, you won't feel anything at all."
Several people were a little happy, this was a convenience they had never thought of. And Lord Kisaragi said now, as if they had passed some kind of test. Their mysterious joy may also be due to this level of recognition.
"By the way, Aluan." Kisaragi-kun suddenly called his name, "What do you think of Kanna-kun?"
"Ah, this... although he is a bit cold, he is probably a gentle person."
"Oh? Why?"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't think of covering those eyes from others."
"Yes, I know him. He is a good person. But don't say it in front of him because you don't want to hear it."
Lord Ruyue smiled and touched her head. Then, she looked at Lin Shanhai and Shi Wuqi. There were varying degrees of sadness on their faces, as if they were still worrying about something. At this time, General Mu had already arrived in front of them.
. He was too tall and too big. You couldn't even see his skull when you raised your head. Even though he didn't mean any harm, the size difference still made them tremble at their own insignificance.
He suddenly stretched out his arm, with the roar of the wind, and the shadow cast down made them feel an uplifting force.
Dai Luan subconsciously covered her eyes. When she carefully moved her hand away again, she saw Shi Wuqi reaching out and touching its huge phalanges. General Ruoku pressed his fingers and killed them like crushing ants.
Simple. But he didn't do it.
"When I encountered the remains of your men, I heard their cries." Shi Wuqi said to him, "I knew your secret last time. Don't worry, I didn't mention it to Lord Liangyue.
We met with him and he was doing well."
General Shi turned over his hand, which caused another wave of dust and ripples in the mud. He stretched out his hand, and Shi Wuqi reached into his palm. Lord Ruyue took two steps forward and said to him:
"All ghosts are in his left eye socket."
"Thanks."
The huge desolate skeleton raised its hand and lifted Shi Wuqi into the sky. They couldn't see it.
"In the Dead Man's Swamp, General Mu is sinking every year." Lord Jiyue said, "Not long ago, the swamp was up to his waist. I also just knew that Wanguishi would have disappeared with him. Since it is Kisaragi
"You did it, so I won't say anything more. I will keep it secret from Liangyue-kun."
Lord Ruyue said, "Since you want to see it, I'll lend it to you first."
"...I'm very grateful." Shan Hai bowed.
"Don't thank you too early. You have to find a way to repair the entrance to Kan Palace's Xiumen. If it's past the season, you'll have to wait another round."
Shanhai was in trouble. Dai Luan thought for a while and asked, "Is Ximen born in the year of water?"
"yes."
“What creates water?”
"gold."
"What lives in the water?"
"Wood……"
Including Lord Lian Jiyue, they all turned their attention to Dai Luan. She couldn't help but tremble.
"What are you doing..."
At this time, there was a distant whistling sound. The luster of the whole world suddenly changed, but they couldn't describe it. It seemed like it darkened for a moment and then became clear again. There were other things that were not quite right, but they couldn't describe it... Miasmic.
What's the composition? It's possible. I don't know when there were suddenly more driftwood in the swamp. Not far away, trees with weird and terrifying shapes appeared again, just like the ones they saw when they first arrived. Probably Kanna
Your spell has taken effect.
They looked at Dai Luan again. Shan Hai's eyes were on her willow box. She unloaded it with some ruthlessness and glanced at Lord Ru Yue. Lord Ru Yue just said: "I don't care... It's good to make the best use of everything."
. Is this the only thing I can leave to you?"
"It's okay, no need."
Shanhai suddenly squatted on the ground, opened the drawer, and took out a wooden box from the medicine box.
"Wait a minute!" Dai Luan immediately became anxious, "Well, that's... forget it, it's okay, I can just use a box..."
"That's not Sakurasaki Tora's..." Jigetsu-kun smelled the scent of a certain flower.
"Don't, don't use this." Dai Luan was still trying to stop him, "That's what your mother gave you..."
Lord Jiyue sighed. Due to emotions and reasons, he should not stop Lin Shanhai. It was his own decision. Lord Jiyue said:
"Wood alone is not enough."
"The box will suffice, right?" Dai Luan advised him, "I can still keep the comb..."
"It doesn't matter." He shook his head, "It belongs here."
Dai Luan gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. She had an idea, but this decision made her feel a little uncomfortable. She kept staring at the wooden box in Shan Hai's hand, watching him take out a comb from it and touch it gently.
A few strands of long pink and white hair also exuded traces of fragrance. Shan Hai's expression was very dull, as if he had already predicted that this day would come.
Dai Luan lowered her head and took out the longevity lock from her pocket. The rope was broken before, so she kept it in her pocket.
What Kisaragi-kun said is right. What her parents can give her is not just this lock. The wishes are in her heart and engraved in her mind. Besides, Shanhai even has the consciousness to take out her mother's relics, so she should do the same.
Just some small sacrifices.
"Go home."
Holding the comb, Shan Hai whispered.
Shi Wuqi came back. He brought an ordinary-looking paper book and looked down from high altitude. There was a hint of sweet fragrance in the air, and the miasma had been dispelled at some point. There was a beautiful light on the ground.
It seemed that he did not belong to the cold and bleak tones of the Dead Man's Swamp. He fell from the cracks in the bones and landed in the middle of the crowd.
Under the watchful eyes of his friends, Shi Wuqi stood up slowly and stared at the brand new torii gate in amazement.
It is composed of two trees, slightly far apart. On one side is a peach tree, on the other side is a cherry tree. They have no fallen leaves, but are blooming with flowers. They stretch out long paper strips and connect them together, like tightly held hands.
The flower in the center of the hand is colorful and gorgeous. In the gap that symbolizes life and death, this vibrant door uses gentle red and white to create a less fatal softness.
The door was glowing. Qi was on the opposite side. He tightened his grip on Wan Guizhi, and a nameless sorrow surged in his heart.
