That man and woman were none other than Satsuki-kun's men.
Shui Wujun vaguely remembers that this magical blue amber is in the Death Shadow Pavilion. But the master of the pavilion himself... she has seen it before. Although he is not a person who gets a headache when he sees it, he is also the type that is difficult to get along with, at least for her.
Yes. Putting aside Gaoyue-kun herself for the moment, none of her confidants are cheap, so it’s better to have as few connections as possible.
The man's skin is pale and bloodless, lined with brocade clothes, and there are faint dark lines on it. Both sides of his forearms are covered with a special kind of soft armor, connected to a finger. On his hands and face
, has a faint scaly texture, but it is not obvious unless you look closely. He is wearing a
He has long black hair, the bangs on his right eye are slanted, and a dark green eye patch covers one eye, with intertwined white snakes sewn on it. There are two moles under his eyes, and the exposed left eye has a weird coldness.
He is like a dead person. He looks like a person who is too lazy to cause trouble, but also like a person who stirs up trouble.
The woman was about the same height as him. She also had black hair, long and thick, braided into a scorpion braid. She was dressed in dark purple clothes, which were quite thin, but they were piled up here and there. They were barely suitable for winter wear. The corners of her clothes were
They are all fixed with gold ornaments, which are the same as her gold bracelets, hair accessories, earrings, rings and necklaces.
Style texture. The decoration is not heavy, small, but numerous. There is a thin gold frame on the bridge of her nose, and blue vanilla tulle covers the lower half of her face. There is also a gold nose nail embedded in the left wing of the nose.
, she looks like a local and a stranger at the same time. Her eyes are sharper, and there is an indescribable hostility in everything she looks at.
Both of them looked like they were easy to take care of.
After they picked a table and sat down, Shui Wujun had already left with Yin Quan. He couldn't be said to be avoiding the plague god, but he was quite fast. The woman then said to the man:
"The one next to Mizunashi-sama seems to be..."
"It has nothing to do with us." He seemed not to want to discuss this.
He has more important things to do.
Xiao Zhiqiu stood beside him tremblingly, trying to force a smile.
"Two, my dear guests, what would you like to drink? We have a good Longjing, a new one..."
"Stone Flower."
"Purple bamboo shoots."
"Well……"
The waiter didn't know who to listen to, so he all came up. The two people facing each other looked at each other, and the man waved his hands, looking quite impatient.
"Listen to her. Come on."
"Okay, a pot of purple bamboo shoots..."
The waiter greased the soles of his feet and left the evil-looking couple. The woman checked the dirt under her nails, but the man was just in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's right here, nothing can go wrong. Will you question Lord Satsuki's words?"
Xie Yan must have felt annoyed, after all, the snake demon kept a straight face the whole time. It wasn't that he was unhappy, it was just a combination of anxiety and irritability. He must be worried about something, but he never said it. If
The person traveling with him is not this scorpion spirit whose mouth is as poisonous as his tail. He might be able to speak more. Although he himself is not a harmless and good thing.
"Don't let me get annoyed anymore?"
"What are you bothering about?" She asked in a sullen tone, "Your Majesty, why do you think you don't have enough time to do this? If you involve me, it seems that I have very few tasks and a lot of time."
"Can't half a pound of white-browed viper's spit stop your mouth? I'm happy to pull you? If no one else is in Qinglize, would I still need you, a lion-mouthed banshee?"
"Hey, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, so good brothers can't reconcile themselves on their own?"
"Tsk. I have to admit that I can't defeat him alone. The sins this brother has committed will never be reincarnated. After several years of reincarnation, he was reduced to the human being he hated the most. I don't know what he will do.
I don't think so.
What's the use, but there's that kind of... annoying shadow on him." He smiled, and it was ugly, "No way, who asked me to owe him? You often discuss matters with outsiders, and you are very articulate, maybe you can use it.
He can be persuaded to leave without using force."
"It's difficult." Xie Yan turned the bracelet on his wrist, "He was born into a well-known wealthy family here, and the young master's temper is well known to everyone in the world. You heard it along the way. Teenage
It's really hard to handle the brat who has caused such a big disturbance. Didn't you say that he must be kidnapped and taken away? Now, I have already prepared the poison. Whether I will give you the antidote or not depends on whether the young master cooperates."
"Humans...human beings are very troublesome." She Ji said quietly, "For thousands of years, their so-called feelings of family and country, virtues, etiquette, benevolence and righteousness have always been a difficult thing to deal with. The python god Maharaja back then was also considered to be attracted by this thing.
I had to worry too much about it."
"Oh, I almost forgot, you can be considered its dependent. You must have produced the same high-quality spiritual beads as it in the spiritual field in the south. It's a pity that you cut them out before they were formed and gave them away.
"
She Ji shook his head, disapproving.
"Even if we don't dig it out, we can't continue... Besides, it's not a gift, but an exchange of equal value. Without it, we can't fish out this dusty soul from the Six Paths."
"This has always been the rule of our Death Shadow Pavilion."
The implication is that the two of them were not rule-abiding people in the past. Lord Gaoyue was kind to them, which is why they were so convinced by a group of monsters. She Ji didn't have any opinions about this person. He didn't look like him.
His own brother was as disgusted with human beings. However, he felt that kindness was not considered as such. It was at most another level of transaction between him and the master of the Shadow Pavilion. To put it bluntly, it was a bit like the relationship between a new human and the master of the Pavilion...
Transaction-based employment relationship.
All the bottom lines that cannot be touched by the Lord of Naraku are called "laws of death" by Gao Yuejun, which are more ruthless and terrifying than the iron laws. These death laws cannot be offended. Any one of them will make She Ji and the others angry.
He felt a real threat. Especially the art of life and death. For this close friend, he also had a close relationship with Satsuki.
He had made an appointment with you beforehand, so he was willing to let others take care of him. Moreover, during the hundreds of years he had been on the job, he did not find it boring. He believed in his heart that this place was a good place. There was nothing to regret about his original decision. But it was the most serious thing.
The most important and urgent agreement has always been a knot in his heart.
People cannot be resurrected after death, and the same goes for demons, but what Lord Gaoyue promised is not a simple "resurrection". In order to circumvent the law of death, they need some roundabout ways, which is one of the focuses of the Shadow Pavilion over the years. Now
, is one of the methods. To put it bluntly, She Ji knows that he and his reincarnated friends are like experimental subjects. They are just more decent than what Wu Yin Jieyan has in his hands.
He doesn't mind, he doesn't mind anything.
At this time, the waiter brought tea. This teahouse is very formal. There is someone dedicated to pouring tea at each table, and there is a special process to follow. But the money is separate. If you don't want it, you have to send the person away at the beginning.
This is the rule. You have to give money, but not that much, so you have to save some face for each other. All the money you give has to be handed over to the shopkeeper, because money that is not earned by one's own skills will not be shared. This rule is in this area
All.
Xie Yan casually took off a ring and clasped it in the palm of the flowery woman who was about to pour tea, and then waved her away. The woman was very happy, bowed repeatedly and walked backwards. They knew in their hearts that if it were a real thing, the value would not be easy to calculate.
The shopkeeper usually allowed them to accept it themselves. The gold was very pure, so she was naturally very happy.
"I hope she won't try it with her teeth for a while." She Ji said emotionlessly and seemingly sympathetically.
"No way. I deal with poisons all day long, and jewelry made of other materials is easily corroded."
"I really don't understand. Whether it's a woman or a banshee, she always likes those shiny things."
"It's hard for me to understand you too..." Xie Yan spread one hand and picked up the tea cup with the other hand, "Working for a friend who has been there for so many years really reminds me of another impermanent ghost. Ah, he
Has it already been..."
She Ji nodded and said nothing. Xie Yan continued:
"I think you are very qualified. That person has forgotten who the other person is, and you are the same. It's just that the person has changed and he doesn't remember you. Even so, you have never changed your mind. I don't know why.
I shouldn’t admire you. Ah, speaking of Liang Yue, I vaguely remember that when I was still a human, I defrauded the desolate skeleton, who was also a human, out of money.”
After saying that, she let out a chuckle, like broken gold colliding with each other, and she didn't know what kind of mood she had when she said this.
"You have a good memory and everyone you have deceived will remember it."
"No. I forgot about it. The Pavilion Master told me later."
"Wait..." She Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally looked directly at Xie Yan. He noticed something, "Are you human?"
"Oh!" Xie Yan sat up straight, looking as if he was being persecuted in surprise, "It hurts my feelings. You and I have worked together for many years, and the time we have known each other has long exceeded the time you spent with your brother, right? You actually
You never know anything about me!”
"Don't do this...I never heard you say that."
"I was a human, not a scorpion." Xie Yan opened his fingers with one hand and pressed it on his chest in an exaggerated manner to prove that his words came from the heart, "Really, didn't anyone else tell you? Hey,
Did I really forget to tell you, but I assumed that you all knew it? No
Remember, I should have told someone, Lord Satsuki knows anyway. I, like Lord Satsuki, was a real human being. I just experienced some insignificant things and became what I am today. Why,
You shouldn’t have any grudges about this, right?”
"Oh, that's not the case." She Ji leaned back indifferently, "I'm glad you might be able to help your brother."
"Hey - do you want your brother to be skinned and devoured? You are so cruel."
"...What have you gone through? Forget it, don't tell me, I really dare. As long as he can regain his identity as a monster, I will not hesitate to be hated by him. The life span of human beings is too short and too fragile. Even if
In this case, I have no confidence that he will become a monster in the next life. There are some things that if you do it early and settle down early, it will be a disaster that you cannot escape anyway."
Xie Yan held her face with one hand and held the tea cup in the wrong way, as casually as she was holding a wine glass. I don't know if she wanted to drink or just having fun.
"Ah...then nothing will happen if you just follow what the adults say - probably. No matter me, him, or thousands of similar people who were not monsters at the beginning - all of them don't need to experience death and become a ghost.
Direct transformation from human to monster form is all called the same thing."
