Chapter 372: Crossing the Cold River at Night
The Eclipse Palace of the Hundred Skeleton Master has opened again.
It is said to be open, but it is just that the person in charge has finally returned. In the past, this place was still lively, and monsters would visit every now and then. Everyone brought their own needs, and everyone carried the remaining hope. Yes.
Sometimes, the Baishu Lord realizes needs and ignites hopes. Sometimes, the best he can do is to provide guidance.
Even so, he is indeed respected, whether he is a human in the orthodox sense or not. He has not returned for a long time, and monsters with requests have already lined up in a long queue. When he comes back, there are a lot of problems that need to be solved.
.But in fact, the problems he has to deal with are much fewer than imagined. Many monsters
The monster knew that he would not be able to come back for a while, so he thought of other ways to solve the problem. In this regard, sometimes the obsession of monsters is much weaker than that of humans. As for humans, they always get into trouble and can't get out.
This matter must be done here, and it must be done by this person. At this time, even eight cows cannot pull him back.
Knowing that he was back, the monsters came to the door again. Of course, he would help those who could handle it, and if he couldn't handle it, he wouldn't waste anyone's time. Fortunately, the monsters who could find him were not desperate.
To some extent, he can make some unusual understanding because of his personality. Sometimes, some monsters are actually very simple. Before their problems were solved, they learned that the Master of the Hundred Skeletons was also facing some new difficulties.
He even offered to help.
Shi Wuqi was just joking, saying that so many dead monsters that "lived" in Xiguangque have not been used yet, so why bother the living ones. Before you die, try to survive with all your strength, like this
It's convenient to be on call whenever I need to trouble you, right?
Almost all the monsters knew that there was another female corpse beside the Hundred Skeleton Master.
It is no different from the rumors in the distant past. She is a beautiful girl who is somewhat similar to the previous corpse, but there is something different. Appearance is not the focus of the monsters, but the two of them really have no soul.
, so it is really difficult for everyone to distinguish. Those who can help are still helping, and monsters are sending scattered bones and rotten meat one after another, but there are very few parts that really belong to the corpse itself.
During the previous ceremony, the remaining spiritual power in Lord Ruyue's body had completely dissipated, and he could no longer respond to any inquiries or touches to any extent. However, after the ceremony, some of the recalled spiritual power gathered again, and only
It's a pity that it's no longer the part of Kisaragi-kun in the past.
.She can move, but cannot speak, and can make expressions, but cannot respond correctly. Most of the time, she will fall into silence due to the restraint spell, and when she enters a periodic active state, she will appear extremely irritable and aggressive. But
It doesn't matter, Bai Skeleton Master can control the situation.
When he thought that this was a commission from Yama Demon... Shi Wuqi still had a headache.
How should I put it? Is this called a good beginning and a good end? He remembered clearly that he finally agreed to let Lord Kisaragi become Lord Kisaragi. However, after that, he was still responsible for the survival of Lord Kisaragi. This was what he had promised. He didn't even need to
Promise, he can do this too. Even if the meaning of doing all this is no longer as responsible as it used to be, or... as simple as it used to be.
He used a scraper to gently cut off the excess clay on his arms and re-adjusted the shape. Miss Zhu Tong's handiwork was good, but there were still some deviations. The person who knew her best was still Shi Wuqi, who knew the correct proportions of each part.
. He removed all the parts that were hardened into porcelain and used the finished pottery provided by Shiying Pavilion.
The soil was reshaped and fired. He checked the mud, and there was indeed nothing wrong with it...unless Zhu Tong used it before, but there is no point in worrying about these. As for the fired part, those who returned from hell have survived far longer than people think.
Of course, the Hundred Skeleton Master has his own methods. There is no need for others to worry about this.
He removed the eyeball that originally belonged to a human and looked at it for a long time. Of the two eyes, only the left one belonged to Kisaragi-kun himself, and the other one could not be found. She still had to keep the one that belonged to her, but not the other one. It did not belong to her.
There can't be too many parts, otherwise what really belongs to her will not be able to return to its place. Her composition will be very chaotic, and the other parts mixed in will all be impurities.
When he took out the eye that he didn't know belonged to, he found a small note under the eye. He pulled it out and found that it was covered with small, red words. He immediately understood that it was left by Zhu Tong. She
I guessed that the body would eventually fall into Shi Wuqi's hands, but it was not recovered.
Was this note, or this charm, taken away without finding the opportunity, or was it a deliberate provocation? Shi Wuqi didn't know for the time being. As a monster, he didn't know much about Onmyoji. He tentatively handed the note to him.
Take it out, put it aside, and continue thinking about the eyes.
You can't leave it empty, right? Like me, it doesn't look good. But you can't put anything in it, as this might cause unknown trouble. After thinking about it, he decided to bake one out of clay as well. The appearance was imitation.
Her left eye is enough. Now it is not difficult to make the porcelain white, but the color matching effect of the pupil must be consistent with that of the left eye. I am afraid it will take many attempts. Moreover, this right eye can only be a decoration.
, it cannot be anything else.
While he was working on it, a rare guest came into the building.
"Hey, you can sit down wherever you like...I really don't have any space here to entertain you."
The space Shi Wuqi mentioned includes time and space. It's too messy here, with tools and mud scattered everywhere. This doesn't look like the style of the Master of Bones. Mu Yuejun came here without saying hello, and he didn't expect anything to happen.
A standard reception. He just stood aside, holding his tin stick, and calmly looked at Shi Wuqi who was busy with his homework. Mu Yuejun's long black hair had been cut off.
——Nirvana completely burned and consumed them. Now he only has short hair. The ends of his hair are cut randomly and are a little uneven. This look makes Shi Wuqi look a little uncomfortable. I wonder if Mu Yuejun has the ability to adjust it.
These, but he is not someone who cares about these. Maybe he will maintain this image for a long time in the future.
"Now that you're familiar with it, there's no need to say polite words." Shi Wuqi fidgeted with his weak limbs while saying, "You must have something to do if you take time out of your busy schedule to come here.
What can you say? Just say it bluntly. I apologize for my poor hospitality. Your lord really trusts me - and he can really find a job for me."
"Once you say something, it will be hard to follow." Mutsuki-kun said with a smile.
"Do you think it's okay if I don't agree?" Shi Wuqi also smiled, "Otherwise, the master will want her to be destroyed. My love is probably dead, but because of this...I shouldn't
Let this innocent consciousness dissipate along with the second death of this body. All this is my fault. I have nothing to say since I took responsibility. If you complain, you can just listen."
"What is that?"
Mu Yuejun did not answer him, but instead cast his gaze on the table far away. There was the note that Shi Wuqi had casually placed there before. Mu Yuejun put his hand up to his lips, recited a curse, and then the note was directed towards
It drifted in his direction.
"Just in time, please help me take a look. This is the charm I found in Lord Ruyue's eye socket. It should have been left by Zhu Tong."
"It is written in human blood," Mutsuki-kun said immediately, "It is used to balance the parts belonging to different people. These components should all be distributed in Kisaragi-kun's body."
Shi Wuqi's hand movements stopped temporarily. He straightened up, patted the soil, and said helplessly:
"Tsk... I know they did some tricks. I'm afraid they mixed the ashes of the owner of the blood into the clay. Otherwise, how could the pure tomb soil be so harmonious with human parts? As the saying goes, it's better to be buried in the ground.
Where are there so many volunteers?
The person who provided the remains of their loved ones? There are probably many lonely ghosts who died unjustly. I don’t know if this girl’s little cleverness is just playing on her own, or if it represents the will of the Dead Shadow Pavilion... At least Lord Gaoyue can make her
If you come, you acquiesce in all her actions."
Mutsuki-kun carefully put away the note and told the Hundred Skeleton Master that he would save these dead souls. But the real purpose of his coming here was actually to bring a magic weapon - a Tridacna bracelet.
"You really brought something extraordinary!" Shi Wuqi sighed with emotion, "Don't you know that the incense burner is still in the Erosion Tower? In this way, if that adult finds out, I'm afraid he will be punished."
"No." Mutsuki-kun shook his head slightly and said, "You and I both know that the aggregation of these magic weapons requires harsh conditions and strict rituals. Except for those who have ulterior motives, that adult will be extra vigilant. You and I can both
Those who believe. Even if they do have various risks... such as being taken away by others. But this is a special period, so there is no need to be overly vigilant. Tridacna can ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters, calm the mind and maintain health, and it should have a desirable effect on Ruyue Lord...
.”
"...Thank you, Mutsuki-kun."
The two of them sat down and chatted about the recent situation. To Shi Wuqi's surprise, Mu Yuejun brought bad news: winter has come, and zombie attacks have appeared in many places. This case
The matter has not yet been resolved, especially in winter, when the epidemic becomes particularly rampant. Based on the analysis of the area and specific circumstances of the incident, who is
——For example, the probability of malicious poisoning by the people of the Shadow Pavilion is low, but it is not completely impossible. After all, they are so proficient in hiding their eyes from others. But let’s pretend that no one is causing harm, and those hidden diseases will break out again, and as the year passes, they will quickly
It is not impossible to spread. He and the other six impermanences have to pay more attention.
"Master Lintian... is also working on this. He has never let down his guard this year. In this way, he has foresight."
"He really doesn't have a moment to spare." Shi Wuqi shook his head.
"You are not much different from him." Mutsuki-kun said, "Kisaragi-kun's absence at the moment has indeed made the work of my colleagues more arduous. Many things can only be entrusted to you. I won't say more.
, I took it as a break when I came here, and there are still many things to do next..."
Shi Wuqi sent him off for a while. The stars at night were like thousands of lights, which complemented the excessively quiet fake town. In the forest composed of pale walls and dark tiles, they stood in a small boat and walked silently from the water.
Traveling. The moment he crossed the double barrier, Mutsuki-kun turned around and suddenly said to him:
"If you don't have an answer now, you might as well ask the future."
Chapter completed!
