Round two hundred and ninety-third: turning defeat into success
In hot and humid areas like the South, heavy rains are common. Rather, it was rare that it didn't rain in the past few days when they came.
The rain was pouring down. Only during the brief dawn, the sun quickly glimpsed the bleak world through the clouds. At this moment, it disappeared again, and the dark clouds covered the sky, disguising the fleeting day as night again, and a rag was falling.
It was like a heavy downpour. The abandoned hut where they temporarily stayed was leaking everywhere. If it rained all day, it probably wouldn't be able to survive. However, a few people only made some adjustments and would leave soon - if the rain could be a little stronger.
If it's more relaxed.
Thunder was rolling outside, and several people inside were sitting on chairs, with the water just covering the soles of their shoes. Xie Zhe was sitting next to Han Shang, but Wenying was a little distanced from them. Of course, by this time, she had basically
It was certain that she was out of the illusion. However, it confirmed that she had caused some psychological damage to her brother at that moment.
Naturally, she felt something was wrong, but she couldn't apologize. The two of them have been embarrassed until now. Shi Wuqi was very close to Wenying. He had always been talkative, and he could divert the little girl's attention by just chatting.
He would not be stingy with speaking up to pay attention. But in order to truly resolve the bad emotions, he still had to rely on her to convince him.
Occasionally, Shi Wuqi would deliberately talk to the silent two people. Xie Zhe and Han Zhang were both tired, and they would occasionally doze off. In order to prevent them from falling asleep, Shi Wuqi fell into the puddle with his face.
He raised his voice and suddenly pulled someone into the topic to participate in an irrelevant discussion. In this way, Wenying was willing to look this way.
"Master Zhongli!" Shi Wuqi shouted again, "The debt you owe me has not been settled yet! Or do you want to pay it back to me?"
Han Zhang, who was feeling sleepy, suddenly woke up when his name was called. He shook his head and tightened his grip on the dagger at his waist.
"Not yet. Aren't you in a hurry? When I get the news, I will come to find you. I can't run away from you." He smiled bitterly, "To be honest, when I judged whether the scene in front of me was an illusion, I didn't notice the dagger.
What resonance does it have with flutes and flutes? Although I don’t know what will happen when they are close, but at that moment I realized that he did not have flutes and flutes on him, so it was an illusion.”
Wenying didn't say anything. Of course she didn't know this. Besides, he couldn't be too harsh on her. It was a blessing to be able to return to the world as wisely as he is now.
"You react very quickly!"
"Of course. Just wait, I will definitely dig out Wu Wonglan's eyes to pay off your debt."
Hearing this, Shi Wuqi laughed, and Xie Zhe also raised his lips. But he was tired in his heart. Of those words Wu Yonglan said, which ones were words and which ones were true?
Or is it both or neither?
He was too tired and confused and didn't want to delve into these issues at this moment.
Shi Wuqi smiled and said, "I'm just talking big words."
"If I can't do it, I will pluck out my own eyes and give them to you."
"no!"
Wenying suddenly yelled out in anger, and the other three were stunned for a moment. Han Sheng laughed, and Shi Wuqi became even happier.
"You really have a good sister. Speaking of which, her spells are also very powerful."
"That's natural. It doesn't matter whose sister it is."
"You should stop bragging." Shi Wuqi waved his hand, then thought of something and said, "By the way, it's not easy to come to the South Country. I don't know when we will see you next time. So, I will tell you what I know
I’m going to tell you something right now... don’t worry, this is just friendship, no reward is required.”
The people inside the house were discussing, while Jiao Mo and the unexpected "guest" were standing outside in the rain.
Neither she nor Gui Haishi are afraid of water, and even like it very much. The rain is very heavy, and it rains heavily, and most people can't stand it for more than a cup of tea. But for these two people, the rain is everywhere.
The moment you touch them, you feel extremely gentle, as if you recognize them as friends of water. Until now, although both of them are wet, their hair and clothes are not messy at all.
The two people stood at the intersection, both looking at the depression in front of them. The misty rain and fog restricted their vision, but it didn't matter, they were not really enjoying the scenery.
"Since they are all fine, I feel relieved. Thank you for telling me."
"Your family went further south a long time ago. The sharks captured by the Wuyong clan all came from offshore. But..."
"Tell me," his hesitation did not make Jiao Mo flinch, "I'm not afraid of anything anymore."
"Even in the mainland, there are rumors that they have captured many living sharks and tried every means to turn them into... Yaksha. They may want to regain the power of the orb, or they may have other plans."
Heide paused and continued, "But later, for some reason, the project was stopped. It may be due to lack of manpower. Wu Yongshi
The old guard is still interfering with the behavior of lying. Many of them already know that Zhen is no longer a human being. How can youkai rule the Onmyoji family? For this reason, many of them were originally under his command, or were preparing to follow him.
His people are defecting one after another. Moreover, it is said that many elders are hiring thugs to weaken his party members, and even directly target him himself."
"So... the power of lies is slowly declining." Jiao Mo analyzed, "Although the effect is very slow, and they are not as cunning as Ji himself, but if the new head of the family is not selected for one day, they will continue to attack him for one day.
.In the long run, he will be affected to some extent. He stopped torturing...the sharks due to lack of funds or manpower."
Speaking of this, Jiao Mo clenched his teeth a little more. Even through the sound of rain, Gui Hai could hear clearly clearly.
He turned his head slightly, looked at Jiao Mo's side face, and said helplessly:
"You really don't want to go back? I won't say anything false that they need you... They really don't need you, but they all miss you."
Jiao Mo chuckled lightly and said, "When did the relationship between the sharks and the dragon clan become so close?"
This was a harmless joke, Gui Hai could tell. He let out a sigh, which was also caught by the ears of the humanoid figure through the sound of rain. But she did not express any opinion.
"The Dragon Clan has almost completely disappeared from the world. Most of them go to the heaven, and only a few live in the deep sea. In such a remote and deep place, even the sharks have never set foot. My compatriots who made such a choice also
Just maintain the minimum
They only have a limited life span and will no longer care about the affairs of the human world. Dragons have extremely long lifespans, and no baby dragons have been born in the human world for a long time. In my opinion, they are probably the last batch of newborn dragons... People like me are interested in the human world.
, even more rare.”
"Even though you are so young, your lifespan is long enough to be envied by humans. However, isn't this great?" Jiao Mo said, "Everyone can make their own choices."
Gui Hai could hear the implication of her words. She must have wanted to say that it was her own choice to stay here, and no one should interfere. He felt somewhat regretful, shook his head and said:
"Does it mean that I want you to go back selfishly? You know, you are the first foreign friend I have ever met..."
"That happened a long time ago." Jiao Mo rolled up his wet bangs and continued to look into the distance. "At that time, I was just a child who loved to make friends, and I didn't have any precautions in my heart. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet someone.
All the people here are virtuous people. The human world is really rich and colorful, and you must have experienced it. For me, it is just such a short period of time.
In just ten years, I have learned things that I would never know in the sea. Some are good, and some are not so good. For example, if you want to make new friends, you should keep your eyes open. It does not mean that loyal people are always enthusiastic.
It’s not that people who are indifferent can’t be loyal. You have to get closer to human beings to experience these extraordinary things.”
Gui Hai didn't seem to give up. He asked: "Didn't you already meet your old friend whom you miss so much? Could it be that there are more things in the world that are worthy of your nostalgia?"
Jiao Mo's eyes slowly withdrew from the rain and fog. She looked at Gui Haishi and said seriously:
"Whether it is simple or difficult, whether in the past or now, I... always like to make friends. What's more, you must also understand that friendships worth paying for are always unbreakable, and maintaining an unbreakable relationship requires clever management. You are here
Although people are highly respected and have high authority in the world, they still need a lot of time to learn.”
"……I guess so."
As for Jiaomo's old friend, who was "missing dearly", he was discussing something with his colleagues not far away. Probably they were afraid that the conversations between several parties would affect each other, so they did not get very close to Xie Zhe and the others. This place used to be a village near a swamp.
, is now abandoned, with dilapidated and leaky houses like that everywhere.
"The Tengu is fine," Shigetsuki-kun said. "Actually, I expected that you might use that move to take us away together. However, I also anticipated the possibility that you wouldn't do that."
"It's all up to you to say."
"No, I'm serious. I just... have this strange premonition. That's all, it's not important." Lord Shuangyue clenched the red pearl in his hand and said sadly, "I'd better find Lord Uoyue quickly and exchange the things.
It would be nice to come back."
"You'd better grab the Demon-Sealing Blade back quickly." Shen Wujun teased, "I can give this away, it's really yours."
"I'm not bragging. If I hadn't rushed here in a hurry, I would have had a lot of time to deal with those two people." Shuangyue Jun was a little unhappy, and she continued, "I didn't deliberately take the time to talk to Wu Qi before I came here.
Have we met? At that time, I gave the cat's eye stone back to him, so when he came to the door, I couldn't give him what I wanted. But that was the reason,
I knew they would never give up. But at that time, Wu Qi seemed to be hinting at me... In short, I realized from his words the importance of rushing to the South in time, so I didn't bother more and lost my seal.
Demon Blade. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise the roof of Tengu Tomb would have been lifted off by you! By then, even if you sacrifice your whole body, it won’t be able to use it!"
"Changing the subject again."
"It's you who changed the subject, okay?"
Kanna-kun suddenly reached out and hit Shigetsuki-kun on the head with his knuckles. She covered her forehead and said angrily: "What are you doing!"
"Don't talk back to your seniors."
"It's strange! When did you still have the concept of seniors and seniors? Just use it when you need it! Oh, I understand -" Lord Shuangyue pointed at him, "Are you remembering the grudge I made for throwing you over your shoulder?
no?"
"Is there still this matter?" Kanna-kun looked at him slightly, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me."
Having said that, Mr. Shuangyue felt another pain in his head.
"Let's get down to business. They are looking for someone named Xie Zhe. How much do you know? Where is the Master of the Hundred Bones?"
Kanna-kun looked to the north. Shigetsuki-kun wanted to continue talking back, but the topic was brought up as a shield, making it difficult to talk about other trivial matters. It was too cunning. She also looked to the north, only seeing misty rain. But until the rain
When the sky clears, the square of blue above their heads looks like the same sky as their hometown.
