Shi Wuqi didn't talk too much to them, but just briefly summarized some past events.
——The Master of Hundred Bones, Shi Wuqi, cannot remember how long he has survived as a human being.
It's not that he's old, it's just that his memory of himself is very limited. According to his words, they are just trivial things that are not worth remembering. But he should still remember Miss Qi.
It was new, but no matter how he recalled it, the picture was separated by a thick veil, like a shroud that made him breathless.
He vaguely remembered the fragments of his fight with her - but he couldn't recall the reason. She had great demonic power during her lifetime, and they were evenly matched against him. In his memory, at the last moment, she could have easily taken his life.
, but she didn't.
She was hit from behind by a stronger force.
It seemed that it was just a coincidence that he was saved by chance. But Shi Wuqi felt at that time that the moment she died, her eyes that should have been full of resentment were extremely melancholy.
It was as if he died to save him.
If she hadn't stopped him, he might have been beaten to pieces by the power of chaos.
Just a few words are the entire memory of the beautiful female corpse by the Hundred Skeleton Master.
He let her stay with him and took care of her carefully, hoping that one day someone could tell him what happened between them. But as time goes by, the possibility of this will only become smaller and smaller.
"Why are you sure she is a monster?"
"If it is human bones, I can tell by touching them. You have also seen that her bones are clearly black."
"That's why you want Wan Guizhi to look up her life memories as a monster?"
"Exactly."
It sounds like a reasonable explanation.
Lord Jiyue fell into a brief moment of thought.
They did not have a good rest, but Jiyue Lord came to visit early in the morning, and they told him these things, and by the way expressed the request of Shi Wuqi, the master of Baiskeleton.
"You are right. It is best to respect Mr. Liangyue's decision. When the time comes, it will be more appropriate for you to ask him in person, but I will also speak for you. Didn't he also say that as long as it is within the scope of his ability?
All your wishes will be fulfilled. If he agrees, when Shanhai and the others find the Wangui Zhi, they will come back as soon as possible to lend it to you."
Shi Wuqi turned his face slightly and did not reply, as if he acquiesced.
"Moreover, you want to get Miss Qi back?"
"It's best to go with the judge's pen." Aluan interjected.
"Well, I did some research for you yesterday. Although I don't have any acquaintances, I learned a few things. This place was also troubled by the 'haunted' at the time, and they built a temple here to worship him and calm down his evil spirit.
resentment."
The three people suddenly remembered that they had inspected it on the first day they came here. A small temple had indeed been built beside the river that was about to dry up. I don't know what it was dedicated to. But it was not something special. They didn't have it.
suspicious.
"That's all I can tell you. I have important things to attend to, so I won't stay any longer."
Shi Wuqi stood up and walked out the door, eager to get there. Shanhai bowed slightly to Lord Jiyue and pulled Aluan to follow him. But just when Mu Wan was about to follow them out of the room, Jiyue
Yuejun suddenly spoke again:
"Miss Liangqiu, please stay."
Mu Wan turned around in confusion, glanced at the people outside the door, and motioned for them to go first.
"I'll be there soon."
After saying that, she sat back down opposite Jiyue Lord.
"What's the matter?"
"I just said that I have something important to do. I was ordered by that gentleman to investigate Yingyue-kun's movements."
"——!"
When she heard those three words, she suddenly sat upright.
"He died less than thirty years ago. He was very young and still impetuous like a naughty child. I once visited his hometown and found that it is not much different from here. It is a dead village."
Having said this, he turned to look out the empty window. There was nothing outside, and he couldn't see anything. Mu Wan didn't say anything. She stared straight at the black cloth on Jiyue Jun's face, as if she wanted to see through his eyes.
.
"Ah, I digress. Regarding Yingyue-kun, do you know the reason why he arrested your master?"
"Well, in order to find Mr. Shuangyue, use his demon-sealing blade to cut off the demon-binding rope that binds him?"
"Indeed. But what does this have to do with your master? Have you ever thought about it? You also know that it is not easy for us, the Six Paths of Impermanence, to meet each other in this world. Lord Shuangyue disappeared at this time.
It is very likely that we have learned about the arrest of your master. Whether you are avoiding it or not, we cannot tell. But you also know that not just anyone can open the Demon-Sealing Blade."
"You mean"
"I once said that Shigetsuki-kun was an assassin with superb martial arts skills but an eccentric temperament during his lifetime. During his training, he fell into a trap and strayed into the underworld, where he unlocked the Demon-Sealing Blade. In other words, his life and that of the wakizashi were one and the same.
Voluntary. So your master has probably already done a lot of research on how to pull out this sword, or how to control the connection between people and the sword."
"Not voluntarily" Mu Wan repeated in a low voice.
"You don't have to worry about him being ungrateful. If your master really knows something, he won't trust Yingyue-kun to get this kind of information. I only know so much at the moment. If I find out anything later, I will tell you."
"Thank you."
"Ah, but it's not convenient for me to find you. Miss Liangqiu, can you give me any token so that I can find you?"
Mu Wan thought for a while and took out a hair tie from her waist. The hair tie was 90% new and no different from the one on her head. It was also printed with a light snowflake pattern and should have been made from the same fabric. Ji Yue
Jun took it and the long hair tie lay on his sleeve.
Mu Wan gave a final salute and prepared to catch up with Shan Hai and the others.
Just before going out, she suddenly stopped.
"Don't take it to heart if I said before that your six realms are impermanent and you don't follow the flow."
Lord Jiyue did not respond. She turned around and found that the room was empty. Lord Jiyue left at some point. In the whole room, only the pale skylight from the window was projected on the ground.
She quickly chased her to the ruined temple. After entering the main entrance, she saw from a distance that the three people had arrived and were gathered around the altar table. She walked forward and found that there were no stone statues or murals, only a sign that said "
The tablet of "祟" stands there.
The altar table was large and long, filled with plates and other odds and ends. There were some unknown residues and dust stains on the plates, which should have been food that had long since rotted or been eaten by insects. But she couldn't tell for sure, because she saw the ground.
There were many broken bones beside the table, like those of birds. Maybe the food was poisonous, or it was cursed?
The others are all small daily necessities, such as handkerchiefs, wood carvings, and jewelry. They should be tributes for something. Those things are covered with a thick layer of dust and have no luster.
The pair of embroidered shoes in front of them.
The shoes looked very new, there was no dust, both shoes were bright red, small and cute. Mu Wan couldn't help but stretched out her hand, ready to take it over.
"etc!"
Shan Hai suddenly grabbed her wrist, and she was startled. The Master of the Hundred Skeletons did not look at her, but just raised his left hand faintly.
There were burnt marks on the front ends of his four fingers, and there were mottled blood seeping out, which was a bit scary. But he didn't seem to be in pain, and he didn't care too much. Mu Wan noticed that the wound healed very quickly, and he must have just been injured.
He must have done the same thing as himself.
Whether she can recover at that speed is another matter. As for the remains of those birds of different sizes, I am afraid they were also harmed by this barrier.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"Although a hundred years have passed, there is always a strong barrier surrounding the altar table. Priest Lin is trying to break it and get the shoes."
"This is a temple dedicated to the evil spirit. But I heard from Aluan that Lord Jiyue said that the evil spirit had long been sealed in the shrine in Xuancui Town. Thirty years ago, it broke through the seal and was eliminated. It has such great power.
Will the barrier remain active?"
"When I just stretched out my hand, I heard the screams of the villagers from the barrier." Shi Wuqi's face was ugly, "I'm afraid this barrier was formed by the obsession of the villagers."
"A group of ordinary people? It's incredible that this happened."
"If you want to completely control people's hearts, you must use fear to completely suppress them mentally, so that they will obey absolutely and even harm others." Shi Wuqi spread his hands, "Oh, dead people are easy to play with. I like death."
Yes, living people are really troublesome."
Isn't this necrophilia?
A Luan raised her head and glanced at him, but said nothing. She turned her head and found Mu Wan looking at her.
I understand what you mean.
Mu Wan also noticed that she was carrying a small bundle behind her. There was nothing else in it, and it was the severed hand that was wrapped.
I went there, it was so scary.
Shan Hai hesitantly took out a spell and was about to try it. At this moment, Shi Wuqi stretched out his hand to stop him, and with his other hand pulled out the severed arm belonging to Miss Qi from behind Aluan. He grabbed the back end and slowly
Deliver it forward, tentatively over the edge of the table.
Nothing happened.
It seems that this judgment is indeed for living creatures.
As soon as the hand reached the Bai Skeleton Master, it was as flexible as a part of his own body. When it was about to touch the embroidered shoes, it stretched out its first three fingers and pinched them flexibly. Then, Shi Wuqi pulled it back and pulled it away.
She put the shoes on her other hand and gave the hand back to Aluan. She took it and stuffed it back into the bag behind her.
No, are you really not afraid?
Mu Wan looked at her, then at the mountains and seas. It seemed that she had really seen a lot of things with her master.
"I don't know what the use is, but I'll just keep it with me in case of emergencies."
Shan Hai had such a strong premonition. He also felt that there was a strong aura of hostility on these shoes. The other two people must have noticed it too. They remained silent and did not put forward any other opinions.
The tribute itself seemed to have no magic. They all gathered around and looked at it carefully. It was indeed a pair of exquisite shoes, with complex and clear patterns, and the flowers looked like real ones. However, no matter what the pattern was, they were all the same color.
