Chapter three hundred and sixty-two: a long cold becomes frost
"Okay, there's no need to be secretive."
The woman wearing Dongguo's mourning clothes grabbed the dagger in her hand and pinned it on her waist again. Several corpses were lying at her feet, no longer breathing. There was no external injury on each person's body, but they were all dead.
, dead. How did they lose their lives? Perhaps their stomachs need to be cut open to check for internal injuries. What is puzzling is that everyone has a ruddy complexion and does not look like a dead person. Even if they have just died, they will not look like dead people.
This is what it should look like.
"If you let them die here, it will bring trouble to the local government. The people will panic, but you have already escaped."
Lord Shuangyue came out of the darkness. The moonlight was bright tonight, which made the three-sun moon in her eyes look dull. She stood in front of Wei Donglin, about two feet away.
"There are always many such things in the world, it's not unusual." Wei Donglin's voice was as cold as her mask.
"You think they deserve to die?"
"Shouldn't they die?" Wei Donglin spread his hands and asked, "It is their duty to get money to do things. Since they are doing murder and can be killed by others at any time, they should have made a conscious decision long ago. Since I have the Demonic Blade in my hand, I
I have never hurt any innocent people. Rather, I have never done such a lowly thing before I got this job. Do you want to defend these dead people?"
Mr. Shuangyue shook his head slightly and said: "No, I don't think they are innocent either. But you should also know that the most dangerous thing in your hand should not belong to you."
"Joke - I also paid a price in exchange for it. If you want to seek revenge, you won't come to me. Every injustice has its owner. What's more, it is your duty to deal with those evil angels. Or is it because of it?
There is someone you have been close to, but you can't do it, so you are angry with me?"
Wei Donglin looked at the moon calmly, and Lord Shuangyue could only see half of her face made of ice. She couldn't understand the other person's expression, and couldn't taste anything from the frost-like tone. She was suddenly enlightened for a moment, but
She expected that Winter's Coming would stimulate her from this angle. If she was mentally prepared, she would not be afraid of what others would say. Her breathing slowed down a bit, and then she let out a heavy sigh.
"If you think so, I can't help it. But the Demon-Sealing Blade is in your hands now, and I can only get it back from you. I also know that even if it didn't come out of its sheath, you used it to subdue Wanren
The Tianquanyan of the mountain and the weapon spirit of Yun Waijing will come to your door soon, don't blame me for not saying hello."
"Oh, so? What can a mere mirror spirit do to me? I won't take action against him, but I won't give back what I gained with my strength. This is an era where strength speaks for itself.
No...in any era, strength speaks for itself."
"Never mind his affairs. Nowadays, more and more people know that you, Wei Donglin, have seized the ownership of the Demon-Sealing Blade. You are not impermanent in the Six Paths, you do not have an immortal body, and you are not protected by that Lord. Find you.
There will only be more and more people, and you will be in constant trouble. Are you so confident that there is no one in the world that you can't defeat?"
"Are you afraid that Lord Shuangyue will lose face? You don't seem to care about the whereabouts of the Demon-Sealing Blade in every word, but you still came to me. What are you worried about? You don't really worry about my safety.
Afraid of someone
Kill me on a certain day. At that time, you won't know the whereabouts of the Demon Sealing Blade. You don't have to worry so much. Think about it, what your predecessor Shuoyue Lord did was not to
Is it left to wander in the rivers and lakes?"
"So at that time, a lot of people shed blood for it!" Mr. Shuangyue's voice rose a little higher, "I would never do this! That's why I always hold it in my hand. Do you think I am greedy for it?
Are you unwilling to give up its power? Then you are wrong. The moment I pulled it out of its sheath, I swore to myself that I would never make the same mistake again."
Wei Donglin, who had been looking at the moon, suddenly tilted her head. She turned her neck stiffly, like an old wooden door slowly opening. Under the moonlight, the other half of her face had no expression and could not convey any emotion.
.The whole face seemed to be sealed by ice, with her tall nose as the dividing line, and the other half of the ice face was hidden in the shadows.
"'Black Dragon'...is he called that? I mean, Gu Jia Qianlong, when he was still human. As a respectable assassin, no one can decide whether he failed or succeeded. He didn't care how chaotic the world was.
, I only care about whether someone can pull out the wakizashi so that I can be freed... Is that so?"
Shuangyue-kun had an indescribable strange feeling. But she didn't want to hastily say something that she couldn't explain herself.
"I will not comment on him easily. After all, he once helped me when I was a human. I am different from him. I must protect this thing and prevent it from causing a bloody storm in the world.
.Do you know why I want to find you? You are indeed capable, and you are worthy of this demon sword. But you are not a truly upright person. To put it bluntly, if one day you become a monster, this thing is in your hands.
, it would be more terrifying than being in anyone’s hands.”
"But if you can't let it play its best role, then it will be as worthless as dead ashes. Do you know? I can often hear the whisper of the Demon Sealing Blade. It is... calling me, calling me to turn it
Pull out the sheath. But it has not recognized me yet, because
I'm not strong enough. Even that person will be disappointed by this, you and me. And you assume that I - think that I will become a monster in the pursuit of power. You can just say it bluntly, you are worried that I will become a monster.
For...an evil envoy named wrong view."
"you……"
"I have seen a strange girl. Her spiritual power is extremely terrifying. Although she is not my enemy, I can still feel the burning malice in her body. The burning, almost...
The fire that burns everything comes from hell. But I don't care, she doesn't seem to show any aggression. I think she deserves your attention more than me."
"It's not that I have no doubts. However, she is a monster. This has been... confirmed by some impermanent ghosts."
"Oh, that's a shame."
It's hard to say what Wei Donglin regrets. Most likely, he regrets that she couldn't be his shield.
Wei Donglin said indifferently: "Speaking of which, aren't you... busy with other things? Ruyue-kun's affairs, right? How is it over there? Looking at you, it doesn't look like there is any good news.
"
"...How do you know?"
"People who wander around in the world always have their own tricks."
"Although it has nothing to do with you, it doesn't hurt to tell you. Indeed, we failed and Lord Kisaragi failed to regain consciousness. But I hope you tell me, what does this matter have to do with you?"
"Because I broke her."
"What?!"
Lord Shuangyue couldn't describe her shock. At that moment, her blood stopped flowing from head to toe. Yes, why didn't she think of it? What kind of person, and in what way, could defeat a six-path impermanent person?
She looked like that... and left her residual limbs wandering in the Six Paths. She had thought that Lord Ruyue might have been attacked in the Six Paths spiritual veins, but she had never been able to come up with a specific idea of the specific murderer and method.
.
"You really colluded with the evil messenger?!" After a while, she shouted out, "You, you and Wuyonglan..."
"Wait a minute, this guy and I don't know each other. I don't like to associate with powerful people, even those who claim that they don't like power. Well, it's a bit disgusting to mention it. To be clear, I just take money to do things. I'm a
The girl who brought the corpse found me and mentioned this to me. I was also thinking about how far we must go before the Six Paths of Impermanence can usher in... true death. I was really interested, so I did this.
, and didn’t even ask for payment.”
"With the corpse..."
"Ah - so it seems that she is indeed an evil messenger. How should I put it? It seems that I can't clean it up?"
"Why do you want to fight against the impermanence of the Six Paths? When you make such a position clear, no matter what your motives are, if you tell it, you will never be able to escape guilt! So far, you have not done anything extraordinary, but if..."
Shuangyue Jun said, clenching the handle of the umbrella in her hand. She realized that many things were more complicated than she thought, although the so-called motives sounded ridiculously simple. What to do? She felt that she was completely unable to make a judgment.
"Then... Isn't it enough to keep you from speaking out?"
Wei Donglin turned around completely, and the moon shone her shadow into a thin wisp, passing over the cold corpses on the ground. The faces of those corpses were so pale under the baptism of the moonlight, and the previous ruddy color was completely covered.
The dead face facing Shuoyue Jun, with the mouth slightly open, seemed to be saying to her, "Run away."
Should she run away? No, Six Paths Impermanence will never be timid. If you are not afraid of death, there is no need to avoid fighting. But Lord Shuangyue has an inexplicable fear. She clearly saw the clear shadow of Wei Donglin on the ground.
It's swaying, even though its owner hasn't moved at all. The shadow slowly, slowly grows and twists, as if like a...
A raging black dragon.
"You're kidding." Wei Donglin said suddenly, "I really can't kill you, not now. Even if you can pull out the Demon Sealing Blade, you should know that it has no effect on the six paths of impermanence. But to be honest, at that moment... you
Are you afraid of the knife being pulled out, or are you expecting me to pull it out? You don’t need to be afraid, right? When this happens, you will enter the flow of reincarnation, be reincarnated, and welcome a new life... And Lord Shuoyue
Three words, it has nothing to do with you anymore."
"You, who are you?"
Shuoyue-kun is indeed not afraid of death, she is afraid of something else, and it is related to this problem that she did not know why she spoke out.
"Let me guess, are you regretting returning the Chizhen Pearl? I can no longer feel its demonic power. I remembered it when I was at Wanren Mountain... You are sad, sad that you can't guess me.
.”
Lord Shuangyue didn't know what to say. She only knew that Wei Donglin would never return the Demon Sealing Blade to her.
She also knew that no matter what she thought, if the "cause" of Ruyue-kun's death was spread, she would gain a reputation for "evil views".
When the woman left, Mr. Shuangyue did not stop her. Standing next to the corpses on the ground, the weird cold air lingered for a long time. Where Wei Donglin left, she left a few traces of frost, like footprints on the thin snow.
This coolness will dissipate tomorrow, but the real winter is coming.
