The so-called spring means that everywhere is probably full of birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, and there is a peaceful atmosphere.
By the time Xie Zhe and the others found Mao Yuejun, it was already March in Yangchun. Mao Yuejun was in a place that was neither known nor visited by ordinary people. There were all kinds of landscapes that could be found in the world.
At the same time, it is also a part of everything in the world. Over there is a completely mirrored world - Yunwaijing.
In a mirrored world, naturally there should not be a fixed door. As long as you find Akatsuki, you have found the door to Yunwai Realm. And Akatsuki has always been here, waiting for their visit, just as he and Mutsuki-kun agreed.
After many twists and turns, they finally successfully met with Xiao. Without much pleasantries, they got straight to the point.
"Mr. Maoyue is resting in the Yunwai Realm. In this narrow gap between life and death, her connection with the real world will become weak. As a result, it will be much more difficult for them to absorb the vitality of the Six Paths of Impermanence than planned.
.”
"But...her life is indeed passing by, right?"
Xie Zhe got to the heart of the matter.
Xiao didn't speak, just nodded lightly. There was a hint of helplessness in his green eyes, which was hard to describe.
"After all, this is a delaying strategy. Besides, Lord Maoyue cannot stay in Yunwai Realm forever."
"And their target will not only be Lord Maoyue." Han Zhang said solemnly, "This matter is related to the safety of Huangquan December. Moreover, this kind of thing... is tantamount to openly opposing Hades."
As soon as this was mentioned, Wenying said angrily: "How dare you be so bold."
Ling Huan remained silent, just sitting aside with some dejection. She felt very sad about all this, and at the same time a little sad for her own powerlessness. Xiao shook her head gently, her tone no more optimistic than the others.
"Think about it, he still has so many puppets under his command. If those things are all etched with the same magic circle, how heavy the burden will be on Zao Wu Chang."
Xie Zhe responded: "It's not like we haven't thought about this possibility. He has learned too much from the magic formation in the underground palace, and the original formation has been destroyed, so we will have no way of knowing his thoughts. In other words
, even if the original formation is placed in front of us, I'm afraid we can't match it with our ability. He is indeed a very intelligent person."
Han Chang glanced at him sideways.
"Why do I listen to your words and still admire him so much? You have forgotten that he made things difficult for us several times, kidnapped Ling Huan, contributed to the birth of the evil angel of hatred, and resurrected Mahallaka.
Did it almost cost us our lives in the South Country?"
"Of course I haven't forgotten it." Xie Zhe's reaction was quite calm, "Especially...that's all. But it's a code. A person's ability has little to do with whether he is good or evil. A good person.
If you only know how to do good but cannot distinguish right from wrong, then you are a fool; if a wicked person is extremely smart but only does dirty things, then you are adding evil to evil."
Xiao laughed twice and suddenly asked Xie Zhe: "What about you?"
"I do what I have to do." He said seriously, "I am saved by the six paths of impermanence to save the world, so I should do what I need to do to save the world."
Ling Huan looked at him quietly, finding his seriousness when he said this very interesting. She also liked to hear him say this. Although most of the time she couldn't do much to help, but when she thought of knowing such an ambitious friend, she felt...
Then she felt a burst of pride. She could occasionally recall the first time the two met - a narrow carriage on a windy and snowy road. At that time, she didn't realize at all that this ordinary young man whom she almost ignored
People have such ambitions.
"This is not your reason." Xiao suddenly said.
When these words came out, several people were in a daze. They looked at Xiao, wondering what they meant. Xiao realized that his tone just now was too serious, so he laughed quickly, waved his hands and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xie, I have no intention of questioning you. It's just that... the reason you mentioned is actually because your mother warned you, or the environment made you think so. Don't you think it's too rigid? Can you always implement this?
People with general ideas may not even be able to understand the Six Paths
Impermanence is also...well, but it is a good thing if you think so for the time being. But if it is not what you say from the bottom of your heart, it will be extremely weak. Maybe it is not appropriate to say these words at this time, but - if you have the chance, you still
Ask the voice in your heart?"
You are a ferocious beast, bound in a cage. You were influenced by kindness, taught by rules, and tamed by the world as a child...Morality and ethics are your necklace and your shackles.
How sad.
Wu Yongzheng's abrupt voice sounded in his ears, so close that he felt palpitations in his heart. The wound scratched by resentment suddenly felt a stinging pain. He took a breath of air, and his face showed strong discomfort. Ling Hu stood anxiously.
He stood up, and everyone else also looked concerned. Although Xiao didn't know why, he also looked apologetic.
And once you put aside the constraints of the Three Cardinal Principles and the Five Constant Rules - you will also be...
"Did you not sleep well last night?" Han Zhang asked worriedly, "Going to see Mr. Uoyue in this state... Well, I don't know which one of you looks more like a patient."
"I'm fine."
Xie Zhe waved his hand and quickly adjusted his posture. He sat upright, looking completely calm.
"Speaking of people who help the world...I can also think of Master Lintian. We were fortunate enough to meet him and receive his help. He also talked to us about some things, and I benefited a lot."
Xiao scratched his head, spread his hands and said: "To be honest, there is a rare guest in Yunwai Realm today, and it is Master Lintian. He has calculated the date accurately and guessed that you are coming today, so he will wait for you here in advance.
.In addition, there are other guests.”
The four of them were extremely surprised. Xiao Ke had never mentioned this when they first met. It is not easy in today's world to meet Master Lin Tian. Unexpectedly, he actually counted the days and took the initiative to wait for them to come. Presumably this meeting,
There must be something more important than they thought. Xiao also said, there are other guests, who could they be?
"Um..." Ling Huan asked carefully, "Is Maoyue-kun's situation really not that serious? Although you said that she is protected by a barrier and her consumption is very slow, how can she recuperate? Moreover, Master Lintian is here.
Already..."
"..."
Xiao frowned slightly, half of his eyebrows hidden under the bronze mask. He forced a smile and said:
"Such a thing... you should confirm it yourself. The sun is about to set and it's getting late. When you enter the Yunwai Realm, the only place with a light on in the darkness will be Utsuki-kun's residence."
Several people agreed and followed him into the barrier and into the land of life and death.
When she passed through this barrier of reality, Ling Huan didn't have much sense of reality. As the most ordinary human being among them, she didn't feel anything strange. She just lost weight for a moment, and then fell to the solid ground again.
.The environment they came to was a forest with blooming flowers. The environment was beautiful and the climate was pleasant, strongly in line with people's memories of spring.
The same is true for the mirror world. But at this moment, the strong visual impact still made Ling Yu feel unreal.
In the forest that should have been dark, there is a long and winding path with lights on. Each light is hung casually on the tree, without any deliberate arrangement, but it is well-proportioned. The warm light is on the tree.
The flowers were covered with the same warm color, and the scene was quite dreamy. Walking along the path shrouded in the faint fragrance of flowers, everyone felt like they were in a dream.
Most of these beautiful streets and alleys are very bustling. The lanterns are always inseparable from the bustle of people. In addition, there are many stalls and mobile shops. The aroma of delicious food on the road will cover up the sweetness of the flowers.
.But here, "prosperity" has nothing to do with people anymore. The deserted paths look deep, and the quiet atmosphere is very different from common sense. This strong contrast makes people feel uneasy out of thin air, but at the same time, this kind of special quietness is so...
It's breathtaking and makes people want to go on unconsciously.
So the four of them walked down in silence, with no one willing to break the cold and beautiful silence. They didn't stop until a regular wooden house appeared in the forest. But there was no light on in the house.
, there is an oil lamp hanging in a small open space outside the house, which is used as a courtyard. Without flowers to accompany it, it looks lonely.
On the recliner under the lamp, a person was leaning quietly.
Her eyes were lightly closed, and she looked so...quiet. Under the weak light, it was impossible to tell whether her skin color was so pale. Her clothes contained some petals of different varieties, which should have been picked at will and not refined.
Choose carefully. Some flowers are incomplete and some are incomplete.
With spots. But perhaps due to the influence of impermanent spiritual power, they are still fresh and have not dried up. The mysterious thing is that these flowers look like they have been integrated into the patterns of clothes, with a kind of extended three-dimensionality.
It feels like a vivid painting of flowers and birds appearing on paper.
She was too quiet, as quiet as a doll, as quiet as if she had lost her breath.
"..."
When the four of them reached a certain distance, they didn't dare to get any closer. They just stood at a distance and watched from a distance. There seemed to be no one else nearby, at least only Utsuki-kun was resting here. She looked so beautiful, but...
So lifeless. It seems that all the vitality of life is brought by those flowers and even the patterns embroidered on the clothes. This scene is really hard to believe that she is still alive - even though everyone's reason tells them
, she is still alive.
temporary.
"You came later than expected."
"Master Lintian?"
Han Zhang screamed in surprise, but quickly suppressed his voice. The four people turned around and saw Master Lin Tian walking silently. Han Zhang was more than surprised. He didn't hear Master Lin Tian's footsteps at all.
His Qinggong is at its peak. He also uses his own inner strength to hide his aura, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.
"Don't worry, she's fine. It's just that she gets sleepy easily recently and needs a long rest."
"The Six Paths of Impermanence...aren't they not sleepy? In other words, they can endure it." Wenying said carefully.
"Well, yes. But all this comes at a cost."
"When will she... wake up?" Ling Huan asked.
"If no one calls her, she can sleep all the time. But she feels very light. If you speak a little louder or pat her gently, she will wake up. But recently, she has been sleeping more and more.
Shen...according to Long Miao, the sound of our conversation before should have woken her up."
"Is that...the half-demon following her?"
"Yes. He and another young master are nearby and will be back soon."
"So are the so-called others the two of them? Or are there more people here?"
"No, there are only these...and then there is the Akatsuki outside, which is the weapon spirit of Yun Waijing." Master Lintian paused, and then continued, "Although it is the news conveyed to you by Mutsuki-kun this time,
In fact, it is Maoyue-kun's own intention. There are some things she wants to tell you, including the two young masters who will be here soon."
