The cold copper blade flashed past, and the sound of broken porcelain products was particularly loud in this silent night.
Chenxing leaned down and reached out to pick up a fragment. The puppet in front of him was cut off at the waist, and blue smoke came out from the hollow part, and quickly disappeared with the wind. When he just took the porcelain in his hand,
, she can also detect the kind of hardness and softness
The texture is like glue paint with a weak elasticity. But after the spiritual power inside it completely dissipates, what you feel in your hand is just an ordinary, hard and fragile pottery piece, leaving a thin layer of enamel.
, does not go hand in hand with the word soft.
"He's just a spy. He didn't even give me more spiritual power."
Chenxing stood up and saw a man wearing a curtain walking behind him. His steps were so light that even Chenxing didn't hear her. But she wasn't too surprised and just continued what he said:
"Since Kanna-kun is here, then this place must not be peaceful."
"You are in danger here. Wuyongshi's people will target you."
"You recognize me?"
"I know your heart."
"Leave them alone," Chenxing straightened up and threw the fragments aside, "They can't do anything to me."
"What if I say that the successor of the Wuyong family is here?"
Having said this, Chenxing was a little surprised, but only for a moment.
"It doesn't matter. I would have left as soon as possible...but I'm not afraid of him."
Mr. Kanna walked forward and half-knelt beside the broken doll. The clothes it wore were the same as those of the people here. It was unknown where they stole clothes to be dried, and they still felt a little damp to the touch. It was cut in half by Chenxing.
It was broken, and the cross-section of the fabric was neat. A long human hair was attached to its head, and the human eyes stared unwillingly, widening. Now, it has no spiritual power, and is just an incomplete
It's just a decoration, it takes up space wherever you put it.
Kanna-kun dug out an eyeball with one hand, looked at it for a moment, and said:
"It was soaked in a special potion to prevent its decay. But it is indeed a human eye."
"The interior of the clay and the enamel on the surface should also have undergone... special treatment. When there is still spiritual power in the body, it will soften and become closer to human skin when touched."
"Why are you investigating this stuff?"
Kanna-kun suddenly asked. This new question seemed a bit abrupt in this conversation.
"Someone hire me."
He didn't ask any further, it was enough to get this answer. As for who the owner of Chenxing was, he was not interested. Whether he wanted to kill monsters and eliminate evil, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, or he wanted to steal his master's skills and do evil, he was not Kanna.
You should be concerned now
category. His current task is to hunt down the evil messenger of lies. This has never changed. Everything else is out of his turn to care about. Like thousands of predators in nature, once he locks his target,
You will never take your eyes elsewhere.
"The craftsmanship of these dolls...has improved," Chenxing said. "I once found a large number of embryos in an abandoned village. They have not been processed in any way, and may be just a temporary storage place. Although I don't know if they are from Wuyonglan.
But the differences between the two are no longer the same. At present, if you want to distinguish them, you can only judge them based on language."
"They can't speak yet, but I think... they will soon."
Chenxing thought about it for a while and said: "If he really knows the magic of making dead creatures speak... I would like to learn it. There are too many deaf and mute people in the world who need this skill more than him."
"Don't think about it. The most he can do is use some sound-producing objects and implant them into the bodies of the puppets. It takes a lot of spiritual energy to keep these puppets moving like normal people, and ordinary flowers and plants cannot provide support at all. Now, there are already monsters
Being bought and sold in bulk on the black market, and the disappearance of a large number of people may also be related to it. But for the latter, Lord Kisaragi is in charge, even though nothing about her previous affairs has been revealed... There are always not enough manpower."
"There are too many innocent crimes to write down."
Even if Chen Xing said this, Kanna Wujun could not completely trust her. On the surface, the conversation between the two was plain and peaceful, but in fact they had their own thoughts. Kanna Wujun did not pursue Chen Xing's matter.
It's because she has kept her peace for hundreds of years and has hardly participated in any evil deeds. The immortals even do some good things to save all sentient beings, but Chen Xing, who relies on magic weapons to survive, has done nothing bad without doing any bad things.
Not easy.
Kanna-kun sighed and said: "The actions of these puppets are getting closer and closer to humans, and they are becoming more and more difficult to detect when mixed in the crowd. Once they speak like humans, it will definitely cause a great commotion. That gentleman will not rely on
These characteristics identify them as belonging to new life, but they are enough to cause chaos, and humans can be easily incited."
Unknowingly, the doll's body gradually dissipated. Its hard structure began to loosen, and it began to disintegrate step by step in front of the two of them, like a corpse that was rapidly decaying. Like a special fire.
Ignite it. It was born in the fire, and now it disappeared in the invisible fire, turning into ashes that could not be held in a handful. Kanna-kun stood up and stopped observing, they had lost their value. After a while, on the ground
There were only a few tattered clothes left.
"He really didn't leave any flaws behind."
The two stood aside, looking at the tattered clothes on the ground. Shen Wujun raised his head, looked at Chenxing, and said:
"Have you ever learned the art of disguise?"
"I've learned it, but I haven't used it much."
"Your appearance remains unchanged for a long time. It can only stay for ten or twenty years in each realm. For five hundred years, have you just been hiding like this?"
"It's more convenient than disguise. It would be too much trouble to put on another face and play another role. There are many people who hide their faces in the world, so it won't arouse suspicion."
"In the past hundred years, have you ever gotten married, established a business, or had any children?"
"Since when did Liu Dao Impermanence care about other people's housework?"
Even through two layers of fabric, Kanna-kun could feel the coldness of her gaze.
"I didn't expect you either."
"It's strange. When did being a wife and a mother become a woman's natural obligation? It's just a lot of choices. I moved around, never stayed for a long time, and didn't care about the gossip. I just never thought that you are also very impermanent.
For a good thing.”
"Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. I just think that people who survive by relying on magic weapons may not be able to pass their powers to the next generation. If the power of magic weapons can be separated from the main body and spread in other forms, it may not be
Good thing."
"You are really responsible."
"Speaking of duty—the lie won't stay here long," Kanna-kun said. "He has his own agenda."
"I find it a bit strange. With your Qinggong, it is not difficult to catch up with him. Could it be that he is so elusive that even you can't do anything about him?"
"Wherever he walks, there will be trouble. If I am a little negligent, the entire village will fall into disaster. Their people will arrange a terrible formation that will include all life within a certain range.
As a result, not a single blade of grass grows around."
This is indeed a shocking spell. Chenxing thought for a moment and said:
"So far, I have not heard any similar rumors...except for the whole village being infected by the epidemic. It seems that your efforts are quite effective, but it takes a lot of time. Is this the key to affecting your pace?"
"So be it. The epidemic seems to have another cause. Moreover, the spell is not complete yet, and they still lack some important parts. Once this method is refined, the consequences will be disastrous, and even the impermanence of the six paths will be powerless. The seven magic weapons should be very
It's easy to be targeted, so I told you to be careful."
"Thanks for the reminder. But - as a ghost of impermanence, you should be more careful."
"...Why do you say this?"
Chenxing lifted up one side of her yarn and pinned it to the brim of her hat. Her expression was very serious, as if she had something serious to say.
Ye Yinquan waited in the hotel for a long time, but Chenxing hadn't come back yet. She only said that she was going to repurchase some regular medicines, and it shouldn't have taken so long. And she heard that the town was not peaceful recently, so she continued
She didn't dare to go out. At night, all the houses closed their doors and turned off the lights, and fell asleep one after another. She was even cautious about opening the windows, for fear of disturbing something unclean. With the faint moonlight, she
Saw it appear on the street
A figure walked very quickly. However, he was a man and he was not wearing a curtain. It was impossible for him to be Chen Xing. He... must be an ordinary person, right? Even though he was still walking on the street so late, it was very disturbing.
She felt uneasy no matter what she looked at. Yin Quan just watched him disappear into the distance in silence, and the street returned to a deserted state. She leaned against the window and sighed slightly. The unbearable tiredness made her
Somewhat distracted.
With Chenxing, who is reliable, she doesn't feel tired, and her thoughts are often occupied by trivial daily life. She no longer spends unnecessary time missing her family. Although she can't speak, Chenxing rarely takes the initiative to speak.
But after all, I have a companion by my side. The days of wandering alone in the past were too hard. Every time I was bullied, I missed my loved ones even more.
Especially her cousin.
In recent days, she rarely dreamed of the giant flaming bird, Kalingbinga, but she often saw Ling Hu's figure while half asleep and half awake. In the ocean of unconsciousness, Ling Hu was in a very dark place.
Not a single ray of light could penetrate. It was as if she had replaced her past self, suffering the torture of loneliness in the dark side room, and she had become a free golden bird. But like this
As soon as she came, her heart was tied to her good sister, and she couldn't fly further. Could it be that Ling Huan was like this in the past days, and she was tied down because she was thinking about herself. Even Wu
Can't she live a carefree life? She doesn't know that she looks like her, but she is not her after all. In the little half a year since she left home, the turmoil in her heart has been inexplicably amplified compared to the past.
When Chenxing returned to the hotel room, she was leaning against the window in an awkward posture and had fallen asleep. She grabbed Yinlan's arm, slowly pulled her upright, and covered her with a quilt. But Chenxing herself
She couldn't rest yet. She took out a pen and paper and began to sharpen ink under a candlelight. She wanted to write a letter to her employer.
The letter was written, and the candle was about to be extinguished. The flame was struggling, as if it was drowning in the lamp oil. Chenxing threw some debris into the lamp, and the firelight turned into a gloomy purple, and the shadow on the table became distorted.
Chenxing picked up the letter and released it with his fingertips. The paper fell into the shadows and disappeared.
