Chapter two hundred and eighteen: peeping through the eyes
Everyone is gathered here.
Akatsuki slowly stepped forward and came between them. His eyes swept over everyone's face. They were all here. They formed an approximate circle around them. Lord Shigezuki, who was riding on the back of the Tengu, was closest to him. He stepped on the solid deep ground.
On the frozen soil, Xiao stayed in front of She Ji and Xiao Liwu for a while, then left temporarily.
They all showed a little displeasure, and Little Minwu bared his teeth like a ferocious wolf dog, with his dissatisfaction written on his face. When the property was returned to its original owner, Ye Xuici still stood quietly, as if he did not feel uneasy.
.I don’t know if it’s because she is so calm, or because she believes in Akatsuki’s promise to “return” the fragments to her.
Xiao circled half a circle and stopped in front of Wenying. Naturally, their relationship was the best here, and there was nothing wrong with that. Han Chang stood beside her, watching Xiao lift the fragment, and suddenly held it in his hand
Tightly, clenched into a fist. With that force, the fragments will definitely prick your hand and cause blood to overflow.
.But no. The imaginary red did not spread from his fingers. Instead, he seemed to have squashed something soft. At the same time, a weak wind took this as the center of the circle and spread out, gently blowing across the two fingers.
A person's cheek. Probably, this is some kind of power emitted when the fragment merges with him.
"I think I know your problem."
"Shuangyue Jun said... Wenjiu and the bad guys got together, is it true? I didn't believe it at first, but my brother didn't even tell me, so I knew something was really wrong. The first day he saw me
, didn’t mention it, and I couldn’t ask. I thought that even if there was an accident, it wouldn’t be a big deal. At most, there would be no news. I was afraid that I would be unhappy so I didn’t say anything. How could I know that there was such a big change... Come and tell me.
What's going on? I believe in you, and I only believe in you now."
She spoke so sincerely, with sad eyes, and made a request to the only friend who had been with her all year round in the lonely snowy mountains. Even Xiao, who was willing to stay out of the world, could not refuse such a pair of spotless and clear eyes. He
He nodded slightly and closed his eyes. A faint light overflowed from the bottom half of the mask. That was the cloud mirror at work. Under the bronze, Xiao opened the long-lost left eye.
"..."
He seemed to want to say something, but hesitated for a moment. Han Chang, who was beside Wenying, also felt nervous. Of course he cared about his brother's situation, and eagerly wanted to know where Wenjiu was. But Xiao just lightly
He sighed and said to them:
"I have to say the ugly things first. With only this mirror body, which is the size of a fingernail, I can only take a peek and catch a glimpse. It doesn't mean that I can know the full picture of those scenes and even events as if I have a part of this mirror, just like I have the entire mirror.
The whole story." As he spoke, he
Looking at Xie Zhe on the other side, he glanced back at She Ji and the others, then turned around and continued, "I can guarantee the accuracy of the information I provided... but the details are not mine.
.As much as I see, I will tell you, and I won’t hide anything.”
After Xiao said so much, Wenying had a hard time listening. She could only vaguely hear Xiao saying that she could only get a rough idea. But a little bit of news would be good. She wanted to know the situation of her fiancé who suddenly left that day.
His brother also became difficult to take care of the family because of his affairs. Of course Xiao knew her stubbornness and persistence, and she actually said these words deliberately for others to hear.
"I'll tell you what I saw - there is no evil messenger around Zhongli Wenjiu now."
Although Wenying still looked worried, her expression was somewhat happy. She knew in her heart that this was just a clever word, but she could still feel some comfort. Jiaomo gently stroked her shoulder, as if to comfort her.
They didn't say anything. They just looked at each other with Han Sheng and Xie Zhe, their expressions still solemn. They knew better than the inexperienced Wenying that although what Xiao said was the truth, it didn't mean much. Maybe the warm wine was just...
It’s just that I haven’t been with Lianyu during this period of time.
"Do you know where he is specifically?" Han Chang asked without hope.
"...He is still in the country we are in. But, he is far away from us."
"Are you saying that he might be inland now?" Jiaomo asked quickly.
Xiao just shook his head slightly, indicating that there was nothing he could do to help.
Han Chang asked: "Then do you know where the lie is now?"
"I knew you would ask, so I just checked. I can only say that he is still some distance away from Wenjiu, but he is very close to us, so close that I can say...in our southeast direction."
"Are they leaving the border?!" Han Chang immediately remembered the location of the Tengu Tomb, "Is it possible that they are really going to the southern country and disturb the peace of the Tengu again?"
The only snow-white giant in the black earth emits a string of unpleasant and complicated breaths from its nose. The Shuangyue Lord on it immediately jumped down and stepped closer to them. Her expression was so solemn, and the previous sorrow was completely wiped out.
The seriousness of the moment suppressed it.
"As expected! This beast - hateful, must be reported as soon as possible..."
She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. They all knew that the "beast" in Shuoyue Lord's mouth at this time probably did not refer to the Nightmare Tengu, but its owner. Several people were silent for a while, and it seemed that all the previous worries were about to be fulfilled.
At this time, She Ji on the other side suddenly shouted to them:
"Everyone, it is a great mercy on my part to give you the opportunity first. I hope you will be wiser and not waste unnecessary time, and give some opportunities to those in line, okay?"
They wanted to ignore this rude teasing, but they couldn't, because they were among the people Xiao promised. The next thing they knew, Xie Zhe would raise their questions on behalf of Han Chang.
"Ling... where is Miss Ye?"
"I've never met her, it's going to take some time."
After that, Xiao closed the green eye again and opened the one they couldn't see. Indeed, as he said, it took him longer, but it wasn't very long. After a while, he opened it again.
Eyes. From his expression that remained unchanged from beginning to end, they could not read any information.
"Well...that's bad news."
"What?"
Several people felt their hearts palpitation. For a moment, Xie Zhe's head felt light and almost empty. His body tilted slightly to one side uncontrollably. He didn't even notice it, but Jiao Mo suddenly came up to support him.
Han Chang should have noticed it, but he didn't. His mind was completely occupied by the last three words of that sentence.
"Yes, how bad is it?" Jiao Mo asked tentatively.
"Maybe you don't need to be too nervous... What I want to say is that I can't see her shadow in the world."
"Why doesn't this make people nervous?! Do you want to say that she is already dead?"
Han Zhang suddenly spoke loudly, which made Wenying tremble slightly. She rarely saw her brother like this. He was so excited that his tone changed. On the contrary, Xie Zhe frowned slightly as if he understood something.
He raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully:
"You mean you can't see her?"
"That's right. I'm sorry that I didn't explain it well enough, which shocked Mr. Zhongli. Such misunderstandings have happened many times before." He glanced at Lord Shuangyue and continued, "Because the size of the mirror body is limited, I can
There are very few places to see. When I say invisible, I really mean it.
It is impossible to capture in a literal sense. For example, it is difficult for me to peek into a place like between life and death, and now my sight is even more blocked. Maybe she is hidden somewhere. She may even happen to pass by somewhere.
The spiritual veins may be trapped in a tight barrier."
Jiao Mo nodded and said: "Indeed. Wuyong's barrier method is truly unique."
Xie Zhe and Han Zhang had experienced this. Han Zhang seemed to have calmed down a bit, but he still couldn't calm down completely. In this way, it was as if these questions were not asked, and every answer was in the clouds.
"I can only help you this far, I'm really sorry."
Xiao's tone did convey some regret and regret, and he probably saw through the hearts of several people.
"No matter what, thank you." Han Chang didn't feel like thanking you, but more like apologizing for his impulsiveness.
"Then is there anything you want to know?" Xiao looked at Jiao Mo.
"Me?" Jiao Mo pointed to himself in surprise, "Hey, I really didn't expect that I was also included... Thank you so much. I am living outside, so when I ask this question, although I do have a lot of thoughts
You need to know the current situation of people and things, but if you choose one, it’s really hard to choose.”
Shuoyue Jun advised: "Xiao keeps his promise, he will not keep this fragment after all. If you can't decide now, you will have no chance in the future."
"That's not true." Xiao chuckled, "Since I agreed, you can keep it. If necessary in the future, even if I have to go back to Xueyan Valley, I will go. Do it now
"No, it's because other people are more eager for answers, and time doesn't allow it."
"We understand." Xie Zhe nodded. Jiao Mo thanked him again.
Xiao continued: "Actually, I know you - I even paid attention to you for a while. Before you came to human territory, you worked hard to learn human language and explore the remains of human civilization in the deep sea... This makes me feel very strange.
, I just observed it for a while. I hope you don’t mind."
Jiao Mo laughed: "Hahaha, how could it be? If you are willing to tell me, I can feel that you respect me, and you are not just watching indifferently and taking pleasure in it as others said."
"Oh, maybe you do think highly of me."
"Hey, hey, hey, how long do you plan to chat? I'm getting sleepy." It was Xiao Liuwu who spoke this time. He yawned widely and continued, "Reminiscing about old times has to be done in different occasions. No one cares about you.
Those boring past. Now that you agreed to help, you are still chattering there. You, mirror, are you trying to regret it?"
