Han Zhang and his sister went higher up the mountain. Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo looked at each other and at the same time at the door. The wooden door should be white, but in the snow, it looked a little yellow, like rice.
color.
The door was ajar. Xie Zhe took a step forward and pushed it open gently. The door made no sound at all. It was clean and spacious inside, and seemed bigger than it looked from the outside. They carefully took a few steps inside.
, and did not see any shadow of the Six Paths of Impermanence. Xie Zhe was thinking in his mind, could it be that the man had gone out at this moment? Before he could turn around and prepare to go out to look for it, he heard Jiao Mo let out a small exclamation:
"ah……"
He turned around and found that where Jiao Mo was staring, there was clearly a green figure, like a bud poking out from the snow. But the bud was listless, looking like it had been baptized by a snowstorm. Mr. Shuangyue was sitting on a bench against the wall.
He raised his heavy head, but his eyes could not be completely focused. Xie Zhe hurried over and exclaimed:
"What, it's you? Why are you here? You're not..."
Didn't he go to find Mutue-kun? But he didn't have time to ask these questions. It seemed that Shuangyue-kun was not in a good condition. Regardless of whether the reason was related to her mission, Xie Zhe didn't want to ask such questions at this time. They
I didn't notice it just now, maybe because she was too quiet and her location was so inconspicuous.
"Well... you guys sit down."
Shuangyue Jun said this and raised his arms slightly, feebly. It seemed that this state lasted for more than a day or two. Following the direction of her hand, Xie Zhe pulled the two stools beside the table and handed them to Jiao Mo.
One picture. The two of them sat down, both feeling a little uncomfortable. No one knew what happened to make Mr. Shuangyue look like this.
"you……"
"Ah, Uzuki-kun is doing the work of rescuing Mutsuki-kun. She went there for me. Now, we are almost here."
Xie Zhe shut his mouth and nodded. He really wanted to ask if something unexpected happened during the mission - on the way to find Mutue-kun, or if he went too late, the magic weapon had no effect, or something like that.
’s... But since that’s not the case, there’s probably something else that bothered Mr. Shuangyue. Xie Zhe suddenly remembered that he hadn’t introduced Jiao Mo yet, so he tried to change the topic so that the atmosphere wouldn’t be as heavy and stiff as it was now.
"By the way, this lady is called Jiao Mo. We met her on the way." He extended his hand and introduced Jiao Mo, "This is Mr. Shuangyue."
"Shuangyue Lord." Jiao Mo nodded, "In these years, I have indeed never seen Shuangyue Lord again."
"Have you met before?"
Mr. Shuangyue raised his eyes and looked at her, feeling strange. He only said: "Maybe I have never met this lady before."
Jiao Mo responded: "Yes, we probably don't know each other. But I do know Mr. Shuangyue, but the Mr. Shuangyue I know is a taciturn man."
After hearing these words, Shuangyue Jun seemed to cheer up. She took another serious look at the woman in front of her who should be approaching middle age. After looking at her, her impermanent eyes realized that the lady's actual age was much older than
What she looks like now is that she is still aging slowly, at a pathetic speed compared to humans. Compared with ordinary monsters, she is different. She did not age as fast in the past as she does now.
of.
"But..." Jiao Mo continued carefully, "I have seen that sword on that Lord Shuang Yue."
She meant the Demon Sealing Blade.
Xie Zhe looked at her and asked, "Do you know the origin of this wakizashi?"
"Well, I was young and ignorant then, but of course I know now."
Then she must also know how the current Shuangyue Lord became the Six Paths Impermanence. None of them continued to talk. However, Jiaomo was still thinking in her heart. She had heard about the current Shuangyue Lord, and she could also tell this woman's story.
The image corresponds to the rumor, but
She still couldn't figure it out, why was it her? She didn't seem to have much in common with that man. The standard of this demon-sealing blade was really elusive. Perhaps, it had its own way of judging. After many years, in fact,
It was also difficult for her to remember the face of that man.
Jiao Mo suddenly realized that he was wandering, and quickly brought his thoughts back and focused on the present. In short, Mr. Shuang Yue didn't seem to be fine now, at least judging from Xie Zhe's reaction. The two of them were at a loss.
, she herself spoke first.
"The ten evil things have appeared in this world, and I cannot escape their responsibility."
"Why do you say that?" Xie Zhe frowned, "What happened? Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. The work of the Six Paths of Impermanence is not as simple as ordinary people think. You have stopped
We have suffered enough disasters in the world, and we cannot expect a happy ending for everything.”
"What Mr. Xie is saying is...how can you criticize yourself so harshly?"
Shuangyue Jun just shook her head and looked at them silently. It had been a few days since the tragedy happened, and she felt that it was almost time to be freed from this grief. How many days had she spent with the lively and lovely fox demon girl?
It made her feel a lot more relaxed. To put it simply, this
How can you just let go of something like this? It's just relying on time to numb your mind, using your recovered strength to deceive yourself, hiding your sorrow, forgetting it from time to time and thinking about it from time to time. But no matter what, it's time to let your emotions allow yourself to calm down.
clearly state the established facts.
"Beautiful words, frivolous and rude, hidden in a smile. Even a series of lies can make people willing to be deceived, making them believe every word and turn against the person who persuades them with good words. Use gorgeous words to make people relax their vigilance, and use beautiful words to make people relax.
Beautiful embellishments can deceive people, and gorgeous words can make people indulge in illusions... And after that, the huge gap between facts and cognition exposed by breaking the colorful shell is enough to break people's bones and make them irrecoverable. This is Qi
language."
Xie Zhe and Jiao Mo looked at each other.
"It's also the child I saved."
Xie Zhe took a breath of cold air.
Jiao Mo had never expected the extent of his shock, but he also realized the seriousness of the matter. Xie Zhe's lips trembled slightly and he hesitated to say a few words:
"You mean, Xue, Xue Mi..."
"This is all my fault."
"No……"
Xie Zhe shouted softly, not knowing whether he was refuting Mr. Shuangyue or because he couldn't believe such a fact. But he calmed down and thought about it again and again, and there was always a strange feeling - as if this day would come sooner or later.
. However, his psychological preparation was not sufficient. Wasn't Shuangyue-kun unable to extricate himself from such sadness? But for her, this was inevitable.
Miss Linghua will definitely be sad if she finds out.
This was Xie Zhe's second thought.
After all, Jiao Mo is someone who has seen strong winds and waves. Of course she knows the seriousness of these words, but she can still appear calmer than Xie Zhe. This has nothing to do with whether she has been with a few people. She asked Lord Shuang Yue:
"Are you worried that you won't be able to fight against such... such an opponent?"
"There are also the country, the country, and the people. Do you think you are sorry for the common people? Don't think so. You don't have the responsibility of a mother to Miss Xue. To put it harshly, you don't even have the responsibility of a sister.
Take responsibility. There are many evil parents who are not at fault, so you don’t have to blame yourself too harshly."
Although Xie Zhe did not expect such a situation, if he asked "Is it true" at this moment, even he knew that he was just looking for discomfort. Mr. Shuangyue would not lie to them. In his memory, although Xue Miyin
She is a somewhat reserved girl, but it cannot be said that things have developed like this... It cannot be said that it is completely unexpected. She has too many secrets in her body. It is also their fault that they did not ask carefully and allowed such "unknown origins" to follow them
Together, we had some feelings of companionship.
Shuangyue Jun only felt a buzzing in her ears, and blood gurgled through the blood vessels on her temples. She could almost hear the sound of blood flowing. She knew that what the two said was right, but...it was all wrong to her.
It's not the most important thing. In front of Xie Zhe, she didn't shy away and said something like this that made the two of them speechless for a moment:
"Can she ever turn back into a human?"
The two were speechless.
So far, no one has witnessed with their own eyes that humans who have been transformed into monsters can restore their human bodies. It is common for animals that have been trained to become monsters to degenerate into beasts due to their vitality being severely damaged. Monsters that have been transformed into humans are common.
Occasionally, something like this happens - in the past, a Six Paths Impermanence had such an experience; people who become immortals can also remove their immortal bones and be demoted to mortals. But only monsters transformed by humans can never be restored.
possible.
At least no one has heard of it.
This is a question that Mr. Shuangyue knows the answer to. But when a tragedy occurs, one always expects a miracle to happen. This is probably human nature. When forced to the point of desperation, one turns to believe in gods, Buddhas, or even evil gods. This is a common story among humans.
.But Lord Shuangyue knows very well that there is nothing worthy of her belief in this world, so even the illusory things that can support her spirit do not exist. How sad this is.
"Where is she now?"
"I left together with Liang Tongue. As for whether we are still together now, I don't know."
Without any warning, a voice suddenly appeared in Xie Zhe's mind. It was the voice of another evil angel.
"Since she is with a monster, she might have turned into a monster."
His scalp felt numb.
"I... don't know what to do. I must look very cowardly and ridiculous at the moment." Mr. Shuangyue laughed twice at himself, "I know that no one can be relieved by this matter.
, but I have to regain my strength. If it comforts others, my truth
It's a set of rules, but if you put it to yourself, it won't be so easy to pretend that it never happened. Maybe we will meet again. At that time, will I still have the strength to draw the weapon and the courage to confront her with the sword?
I don’t know. But when the day comes, I have no choice.”
Xie Zhe suddenly stood up.
"I am willing to help you." He tightened the hilt of the sword at his waist, "Mu Yuejun gave me the magic weapon, and I will definitely use it. We have also spent time with Miss Xue day and night, although we cannot fully understand your
Although you are suffering, I can somewhat understand your pain. I think,
Now that things have come to this day, I'm afraid that the relationship with what happened in Xueyan Valley cannot be cleared up. In this case, we also have a share of responsibility. If you can't bear to be ruthless, I am willing to be the villain who confronts her with swords for you. What happens next.
, I am also willing to work with you to find a solution..."
Lord Shuangyue looked at his Fengyun Zhan and was silent for a long time.
"If you really want to do this, even if you just have the intention, it will be enough."
