After seeing off the last guest, Shi Wuqi began to pack his things. With a wave of his hand, the ornaments arranged on the table automatically returned to their original places in their proper order. With a snap of his fingers, most of the lights in the hall went out.
Only the nearest candlesticks were left. The room suddenly became dark. The Eclipse Tower is not a realm of eternal night, but the sky always stays before dawn or twilight, and it cannot be bright at all.
It depends on whether it is bright or not. If a bird flies across the sky, you can see that the light in the fantasy realm gradually dims, and the extinguished lights are like a beach at low tide. He walked around to the table and poured a cup of tea under the dim light.
The tea was already cold, but the tea poured out of his hand was still steaming. He poured two cups, holding the rim of the cup, he left the table and walked around behind the screen on the side of the long table.
There were several chairs there, arranged more casually. On one of the sandalwood chairs with backrests, a woman was leaning against her at some point. Her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her luxurious clothes seemed to have been cut out of a sea of colorful and lush flowers.
one
What Duan Er wore on his body was one of the best even in the harem concubine's wardrobe. The fabric and workmanship were simply unlike mortal creations. Shi Wuqi didn't show any surprise. He handed the cup over naturally.
The woman took the tea cup, holding it in one hand and covering it with the other. She was a little surprised, and raised her eyebrows and said:
"When did you find out?"
"Eavesdropping is not a good habit."
Shi Wuqi shrugged and took a sip of tea. The visitor also put the tea cup to his mouth and said:
"If you hadn't gone out of business, she probably wouldn't have gone to Tianquan." She smiled and said, "She likes you, and she doesn't even know it."
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't expect that you, Yingyue-kun, can not only interpret dreams, but also calculate marriages."
Shi Wuqi was not annoyed, he just replied with a smile. In just one sip of tea, Yingyue Jun's face turned into another beauty. She also said with a smile:
"Women understand women best. Moreover, love in this world is not limited to love. Where do you think you are? You are so narcissistic."
"Okay, okay, everything you said is right." Shi Wuqi really found it funny, so he continued, "But I still have to thank you. If you hadn't recommended Tianquan Eye, I really wouldn't have known what her illness should be.
What to do."
"Hmm. It's more like fighting fire with fire. The climate and environment there are suitable for her to practice this kind of kung fu. Gu Jia Qianlong's original martial arts is really not something that everyone can stand. By the way, have I told you, that woman
Is this his reincarnation? I don’t know exactly which reincarnation it is.”
Shi Wuqi paused briefly while holding the cup, frowned slightly, and the smile on his face disappeared. Yingyue Jun indeed never told him, maybe she thought she had, but actually she didn't.
"...This makes sense. No wonder, when other people got the Demon-Conquering Pestle, they didn't decipher it or even just ignored it. It was the thing left by the previous Shuangyue Lord. Only her soul was the best match for this thing.
Feel the resonance..."
"They look quite similar."
"It's very similar to..."
"I'm afraid I'm going to go back to the same old path."
"I'm afraid that's not what she hoped for in her previous life," Shi Wuqi sighed slightly, "Wouldn't this run counter to his purpose of reincarnation? If such a thing really happened, it would be too ironic, and the drama would not dare to act like this.
.”
"Who can say for sure?"
In just a few words, Yingyue Jun changed her face again. Although she looks beautiful, every face can be deeply imprinted in people's minds. But to really remember her appearance, it is by no means ordinary.
Humans can do it. What’s more, except for the beauty that was really burned back then
She also has beautiful faces and the faces of people in paintings drawn by many famous people. It is said that in the early years, when she was bored, she wanted to play tricks on people, and would deliberately laugh on the paper she was creating to scare people.
She has worked as a painter for many years, but now she rarely does these things.
"You look much better now. What, could it be that you always quarreled with yourself in the past and didn't know who would come forward?"
"Stop making fun of me." Yingyue Jun suddenly sighed, "Stop talking about this. I did always use the same face in the past, but for some reason, they won't recognize me the next time we meet! I guess
Unknowingly, my appearance slowly changed into another similar face, one after another. Several times, after they finally accepted this situation, they would recognize the wrong person and greet the passer-by in their dreams. This is terrible.
Really
Too bad, I might as well deliberately change things in front of humans, so I won't get confused. Fortunately, I'm in a dream, so I won't get into any other trouble. If someone wants to impersonate me in the real world,
The trouble is huge. It’s okay to say this... I can be lazy on weekdays and don’t have to be as busy as other colleagues. I often travel to various people’s dreams, but here is the only place where I can rest for a long time and have a drink.
Delicious tea.”
"You're welcome at any time, but it's not working lately. You know why." Shi Wuqi said seriously, "So what are you doing here today? Isn't it just to eavesdrop on my chat with the visitors?"
"Yes, I'm quite busy. I've been busy with a girl's affairs recently. Well, what should I do...well, it seems to be something very important."
Yingyue Jun scratched her head, as if she really couldn't remember it for a moment. Shi Wuqi knew the reason: although she had many beautiful skins, she only had one imaginary head. It took her a long time to let each one
She reached a consensus and the fused thoughts continued to struggle and compromise. This part alone took up a large part of her thoughts, so she could never remember important things. However, it didn't take long before she could always remember it, she just had to
Give her more time.
"Ah! I thought of it. Have you seen a fire fox before? A red fox has a golden fox brother. It may be a little late to tell now, but I collected information from many dreams and found out something remarkable.
thing!"
"It's...what happened?"
"His brother, if his name is Wenjiu, then he is indeed hiding. And the bad thing is that he is with the lie."
"Lies?" Shi Wuqi responded, "You mean... evil messenger?"
Those who tell lies have an impure heart, want to deceive others, cover up the truth, speak strange words, and create verbal karma. This is called lying.
"Yeah? Who else could it be? He has a few fragments of wish-fulfilling beads on his body, which is really troublesome. I wonder if the golden fox is with him, will it lead to bad things?" There are too many lies.
It will come true' is originally a common saying, but it is not impossible for lies to happen. It's a pity that I can't be sure where they are, otherwise I would tell you."
Halfway through what she said, Shi Wuqi no longer wanted to listen. He glanced at the screen. On the table where his eyes passed through the screen, there was a small wooden box. Among the many treasures stored in that box, there were Ruyi beads.
A fragment. Yingyuejun tilted her head and looked at him, suddenly recalled something, and said:
"Oh, I forgot. Has he come to see you before?"
"...Yes. But he was not an evil angel at that time. Or, I didn't recognize him...he was already a monster."
"That man is full of shameless lies. Don't even think you were deceived by him, right? He has told too many lies in his life, made too many false testimonies, is good at slander and slander, and makes people unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Nowadays, in the world,
Whenever this kind of thing happens, his power becomes stronger. If the little fox trusts him gullibly, won't he be exploited? Alas, although this is your business, because of our deep friendship
, I will tell his brother if I have a chance."
"Thank you..."
Shi Wuqi could no longer laugh. Not only because of what happened between him and the lie, although he really couldn't tell the difference last time. This world is really dangerous, with waves rising again and again. Now I don't know how many evil spirits have crossed the sky.
After all, there are too many people in the world. In the world where he lives,
At that time, the world was not so lively. Once the base of anything increases, it is easy to produce some extreme right and wrong. Just like an orchard, the larger the area, the more trees, the more bad fruits, and it is also easy to get diseases.
When a tree is infected with a disease, a large area will not be spared.
Speaking of illness…
"By the way," he asked Mr. Yingyue, "since you came to eavesdrop so early, you should know what the woman told me, right? You are also in various fantasy dreams, so you should know that the Death Shadow Pavilion has another
What a good thing you did."
"Ah, that's right. Are you talking about the snake demon raising a human child?"
"This is all nonsense...forget it. I mean the plague, the kind of disease that causes the dead to attack the living."
"Indeed!" Mr. Yingyue nodded vigorously, "It was them who caused the trouble! But it seemed to be unintentional at first. It was just that the people there used many living people for experiments. Then, there was a corpse pool in that area.
It disrupted the local spiritual veins and caused part of the path to be broken and scattered. Many people escaped, spreading the strange disease through the spiritual veins extending in all directions."
"Don't you care, Satsuki-kun?"
"She makes mistakes and seems to have other plans. Are you going to visit her?"
"...Let's talk about it, I need to know the situation first."
Shi Wuqi thought to himself that his "old friends" must all know about this, and no one would sit idly by. He must also take action. Thinking of this, he took the teacup that Yingyue Jun drank and walked out of the screen,
Put the two empty cups aside. Then
He opened the small wooden box, selected a few beads, and rummaged through the boxes elsewhere, looking for something. Yingyue Jun walked out and looked at the silver incense burner on the table. The burner was still emitting smoke, but it was slimmer than before.
There are so many, the fragrance may be exhausted.
"Ah, let me tell you one more thing."
"That's what you say."
Shi Wuqi was busy packing his things and had no time to chat with her face to face. Yingyue Jun looked at ease and was not in a hurry. She said calmly:
"Your luck with women is really good today."
"Hey, don't scare me anymore, I can't stand your jokes."
Shi Wuqi paused for a moment and then continued working. Although the room was dark, he knew every corner here. Yingyue Jun just said:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you. Well, trouble has already come to your door, don't you feel it?"
After she finished speaking, Shi Wuqi stood up and looked in Yingyue Jun's direction, but there was no one where she was standing. She had already left, and at this speed... it was like running away compared to before. He vaguely felt
No, he temporarily stuffed the things in his hands into the cabinet in front of him, closed the cabinet door, and then looked at the door. He frowned and finally understood what Yingyue Jun meant.
He waved his hand, and the door slammed shut. But at this moment, the door suffered an unknown force, and completely collapsed toward the inside. Both doors were not damaged, but they were completely dismantled and violently paved.
On the marble floor in the hall, there was a loud "pop" sound, which was deafening.
Two uninvited guests stood at the door, one on the left and one on the right, a man and a woman.
He smiled bitterly and thought to himself, today is really lively - just when he is about to leave.
