Chapter one hundred and sixty-fifth: Willing to make up my mind
It's not the rainy season yet in Qinglize. It's just late spring, and the sweltering heat of thunderstorms has penetrated all over the swamps and woodlands. Often the rain can't fall, and the wind can't blow in, leaving everyone feeling hot and depressing.
.
"I know that you have some personal matters that you need to be busy with. But right now, everything is coming to a head."
said a soft female voice.
"..."
The other party didn't answer for a while, but nodded slightly.
"During a period like this, we need to integrate manpower as much as possible. After all, for such a major event, this manpower cannot be said to be more than enough. Especially you and Miss Ye, if you are not here, things will become complicated.
Trouble. If you are still running around, why don’t you
It would be too showy, and now is the time to keep a low profile." She said slowly and slowly, as if to comfort you, "Therefore, these days have wronged you, and you have to stay here and cannot get away.
I hope you can understand the reason for this."
"Of course. Contributing to the Shadow Pavilion is what I should do."
She Ji replied.
There was no perfunctory tone in his tone, but the focus of his eyes was wandering somewhere, and he was more or less distracted. This worried look made his words seem insincere. Lord Gaoyue looked at him quietly, and
Without breaking the point, he continued:
"The area around the Corpse Pond is extremely complex, regardless of the terrain, spiritual power, or the various materials mixed in the pond. Outsiders are absolutely prohibited from setting foot in this place. The recent nutrients are enough, at least for the moment... Unfortunately, what we have got
The most satisfying result, and also the most important part of the plan, was lost. Although the key can still be made up, if the lost part is picked up by others, it will cause trouble. These things,
We all need to pay attention."
"I will pay attention to it when I go out next time... Anyway, what I have to do here is just some finishing work, right? I will pay attention to inquire about this information when I am in the outside world."
Gao Yuejun smiled slightly. She opened her lips to say something, but suddenly paused, and she and She Ji looked aside. A small gecko swam deftly, climbed straight to Gao Yue Jun, and climbed on her hanging
On the fingertips, Satsuki-kun showed a look of understanding.
"It seems like a distinguished guest is coming. You go ahead and do your work."
Yin Guihong walked along the long and winding stone path.
There were stalactites, stalagmites, and even rare stone curtains and stone flowers of various shapes scattered around, which were reflected in the cold blue light and made them look strange. He had no intention of admiring these scenery. For him, there were far more important things to do.
Do.
It was a long journey to Death Shadow Pavilion from afar, and Yin Guihong had already sped up as much as possible. Under the guidance of Lord Xianyue, he knew some spiritual veins that humans could travel through, and took many such shortcuts along the way.
He had also traveled to other surrounding places before, visiting many towns or villages where talented people lived, intending to appreciate other people's martial arts, and indeed he had benefited a lot. This visit to the Death Shadow Pavilion,
It's not something he did spontaneously.
When he stepped into the Qingli Ze, passing through the intertwined spiritual veins, the sun was climbing to the sky. When he was about to reach his destination, he was stopped near the Death Shadow Pavilion. Yin Guihong looked at the blocker
With his eyes, he saw the slit-like pupils, and he guessed the identity of the other party.
"This young hero, here we only allow idlers to enter."
Kari Gonduo said with a smile, his tone was relaxed and casual, but his restraining posture was obvious enough. Yin Guihong did not intend to forcefully break in, and his reply was quite polite:
"I was introduced by Lord Kauchue and came to look for Lord Gaoyue. I have something to ask her."
Kari Gonduo hesitated for a moment and looked at him for a while. The monster was very eye-catching and did not ask him what he wanted to ask. Then, Yin Guihong saw a small gecko jumping out from the opponent's sleeve.
Kari Kunduo lowered his palm and put it on the ground. The little thing twisted its body, waved its short legs, and ran towards the passage behind Kari Kunduo. After doing all this, Kari Kunduo picked it up again.
The huatou:
"I have informed Lord Satsuki, please wait here."
"..." Yin Guihong turned his gaze and looked at the pitifully small gecko, questioning the speed of the transmission, "Can't it be convenient? Since I'm already here..."
Kari Gondo shook his head repeatedly.
"We here have been studying some new and mysterious techniques recently. Oops, if you're not careful, it becomes a little smoky. We can't let the bad air stay in one place. Nowadays, there are many places inside that are smelling. For your own sake,
It's better for your body to be less restless. And -" he rolled his eyes, "you are a guest, and if you see something that cannot be seen by a living person, it will make me very sorry."
The corner of Yin Guihong's mouth twitched, as if he couldn't help but want to stab a few words. He felt a little impatient, but soon he slowly exhaled and pinched his eyebrows, as if to straighten his frown. After all, there are
Asking for help, this is other people's territory, and there is no benefit in causing trouble.
It's just a matter of waiting, and he shouldn't lack the patience for this short while.
Naturally, there were no tables and chairs nearby to sit on, and he had no interest in chatting with a strange monster. One person and one monster stood there, not knowing where to turn his eyes to kill time, so he could only look at each other from time to time, remaining speechless.
Shou Gongduo's eyes wandered around, and after a while, they had scanned Yin Guihong several times. He suddenly broke the silence on his own initiative:
"The shape of your scabbard is quite special."
"Hmm." Yin Guihong raised his eyebrows.
"I only heard that some exotic weapons are shaped like curved hooks." Kari Gondo raised his chin towards the curved scabbard at his waist, "Swords like this are not common in this country.
, all I know is a handful.”
Yin Guihong's fingertips slid along the curvature of the scabbard, and he responded with a calm response.
"That's probably the one you know."
He was not interested in talking, and Kari Gondo stopped talking to him. He was holding his chin in deep thought, or maybe he was just in a daze.
The little guard came back much faster than Yin Guihong expected. Soon, a small shadow jumped out of the dark corridor and ran to their feet. Kari Gongduo squatted down to let the little messenger crawl back to him
Although Yin Guihong couldn't hear any sound, he seemed to be listening to something and did receive some kind of information.
"Please come this way." Kari Gondo stepped aside to make way for the entrance and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation.
Yin Guihong followed him, walking through the stone passage, occasionally turning his head to avoid the water drops falling from the cave roof. Rather than the unique blue ore or cave scenery here, he noticed more traces of spiritual veins and wanted to hunt for them.
Gong Duo was previously worried that he would wander into the spiritual veins and escape.
When I went to other places, I saw what secrets they had. The cave was so complicated that it even made people wonder whether the person leading the way would make a few more turns to make it difficult for people to discern the way in and out. Before this doubt could grow, Yin Guihong
They have been taken to a relatively open area.
"Sir Satsuki, the guests have arrived."
After hearing what Kari Gondo said, he walked away from him with a much more respectful attitude than before.
Not far from him, there was a crystal clear tea table, which glowed with the same green light as many of the scenery here. There were tea cups on it, which were also bright and shiny. One of them was placed in the direction close to him. It seemed that it was
Prepared for him. Yin Gui
Hong took a few steps closer and could see that the tea in the cup was also of the same color, like green glass dissolved in water. Although this color appears on utensils, it is beautiful, but once the food becomes such a cold color, it makes people feel uneasy at all.
I don’t want to say anything anymore.
There is a woman sitting behind the table. She has a young face, but her long hair is silver-grey. The fine silver threads are poured on her complicated green clothes, which contrasts with the exquisite silver jewelry around her. She has an elegant posture and a polite smile when she looks at him.
It is also soft and moving, just like the gentle drizzle in late spring, which draws embellished ripples on the still cold lotus pond.
This is of course Satsuki-kun. To be honest, this is the first time he has come into such close contact with the Six Paths Impermanence other than Kuchtsuki-kun. She is much gentler and kinder than Shuiwu-kun, whom he had met once before.
, not to mention the evil guy like Kugetsuki-kun, or the vicious guy like Kanna-kun. It seems that not all the six-path impermanence are such cunning and brutal characters.
"Actually, as long as you draw the sword, my men will let you in."
After he sat down, Gaoyue-kun said softly, her voice as clear and elegant as a human being. Her meaning was very clear: they knew where this sword came from, and this would undoubtedly represent the meaning of Kuchuki-kun.
"It sounds very violent, and I don't like shouting and killing at every turn. If it's not necessary, it's better to maintain courtesy." Yin Guihong moved his fingers, but he still didn't pick up the tea cup filled with the strange liquid. "
I don’t intend to threaten anyone, at least I came here this time, I just want to calmly... talk about some things."
Satsuki-kun didn't comment, just smiled and turned to the next topic:
"So, what kind of problems did you come with this time?"
"If you don't blame me for being rude, I'll get straight to the point." Yin Guihong sat up straight and leaned forward slightly, "What I want to know is the way to the Tengu Tomb."
Tengu Tomb.
This question seemed to go beyond the simple scope that Satsuki-kun expected. She frowned and thought for a moment, with a confused look on her face.
"I can probably predict what you want to do. But - this road is not easy."
She meant something. Yin Guihong could hear the implication. He didn't think too much about it, so he had already considered the matter thoroughly, or at least he thought so.
"I know. However, I know very well that my strength is too weak now and is far from enough to support me in achieving my goals. In this case, I can only use external objects appropriately."
"There are many ways to use help, and there are also many kinds of external objects." Gao Yuejun muttered, gently rubbing the tea cup with the lid of the cup in her hand, she raised her slender eyes, her brows slightly twisted, as if she was sincerely affectionate.
Di Zai was worried about this, "Are you determined to go your own way and choose the most dangerous path?"
"I have made up my mind."
"I think, now that you have found this place, you will not be easily changed by a few words. Even so, I still put down the ugly words first." Gao Yuejun put down the cup and said seriously, "Although there are few people who know the location of the Tengu Tomb.
, but yes, everyone who went there never returned."
"The Tengu Tomb does not exist in the present world, but is in the gap between life and death. There are many such places, you may have heard of them, such as the Burial Head River, the Dead Man's Swamp... The Tengu Tomb is also one of them. Briefly
What’s special is that it was a space created by the ancestors of the Tengu who tore it apart.”
Gao Yuejun spoke unhurriedly, occasionally raising his eyebrows to secretly observe Yin Guihong's reaction. He had always kept a straight face and was so serious since he called, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
