Chapter four hundred and fifty-ninth: Going back and forth in vain
The bright blade penetrated the slender neck, and a spurt of blood splashed onto Shui Wujun's body. The extinguished afterglow was not as bright as the flowing blood, as if there was nothing else in the world that could compete with it.
The picture stopped at this scene. Then, the woman's face, hair, and collar slowly twisted, like the rippled water causing the reflection to ripple gently. Everything presented on the smoke screen gradually faded and finally dissipated.
Yes, it was the rather confused face of the deceased. The misty smoke caused a sad smile to appear on the corner of her mouth.
"This is what the incense burner showed me."
Having said that, Shi Wuqi used a pair of dark chopsticks with gold rings to pick out an irregular crystal from the incense burner at hand. It looked like a huge, dyed salt block, or from some kind of ore.
A small part of it peeled off. He put the dark green crystal into a delicate locked box. In the box, there were many similar crystal pieces with different colors.
"I have been looking for a way to preserve the phantom of the incense burner, and now I have finally done it. Although the number of times these phantoms can be traced back is limited, it still provides a lot of convenience."
After that, Shi Wuqi locked the box again. The two people watching remained silent, just sitting on the chairs, and both fell into silence. Strictly speaking, one of them could not see clearly and did not really see anything clear.
.
"So you knew earlier that Miss Ye Yinhua was going to die here?"
Lord Jiyue asked.
"yes."
"And the scenes presented by the incense burner are all irreversible things that will definitely happen." Shanhai muttered, "So even if you see such a scene, you can't say anything."
"That's right. But I never thought that all this would happen so quickly."
Lord Jiyue asked again: "When did you know about this?"
"I knew it before the battle with Wuyonglan."
"...It's a shame that you pretended to know nothing." Lin Shanhai pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed helplessly, "We all let you hide it. It's a shame that you didn't leak even a single word.
.”
"Whether I say it or not, the result will not change. I will just cause her sisters and friends to suffer pain and anxiety. In comparison, I might as well be a villain who knows but doesn't say anything, at least to give them more hope."
It's been a while. Now that the deal is done, there is no need to hide it anymore. But I can't open this mouth, otherwise I will sincerely create trouble for them and only cause fear."
"They... are not such people, but I can understand your concerns." Shan Hai shook his head and said, "But this shadow is real, and the girl really deliberately blocked the knife. If she didn't want Shui Wujun to be injured, then
It's meaningless - in order to avenge her, Shui Wujun has been scarred by resentment. Even if the sword is destroyed one day, the scars may not disappear."
"We have no way of guessing the girl's intentions. After all... you have already handed over Duan Chenhuan."
】
"I know you must have your own plans," Lord Jiyue shook his head, "but I still want to say, you are really brave. You are responsible for handing over the Six Paths Divine Weapon to Hongxuan Changye."
If it were anyone else, people would think you were stupid or in collusion with that monster."
Even Shi Wuqi said this: "I am also quite surprised that you actually made this deal with him. I don't know what he is going to do. It means Shui Wujun trusts you and agrees to give the knife away. You know
, her whereabouts have been recorded by resentment, and she is also carrying great risks. You'd better have some basis, rather than just betting."
"I know this trust is valuable." Lin Shanhai said seriously, "I do have some gambling elements, but for the time being... let's just call it a sure thing. After all, there is no better way besides this. Just listen to me.
——”
Lord Kutsutsuki's deal was very simple. They just used two of the Six Paths Divine Weapons in their hands to exchange with him the method of finding Death Shadow Pavilion. It sounded difficult to judge whether it was fair enough, but Lord Kutsutsuki's words made Shanhai confirm it.
I got some information. In fact, Lord Xueyue didn’t know why Death Shadow Pavilion suddenly pulled the
Open the barrier. The ghost fairy's shadow is indeed in the hands of Lord Gaoyue, but logically speaking, it is just a "tool" for safekeeping, and it may flow into the hands of anyone in the future. The Shadow Pavilion uses this thing for its own use.
It can be considered an unexpected and reasonable thing. They must have done this to hide their eyes from others.
After the barrier was activated, Lord Satsuki's confidants were indeed in the barrier. They never left and could not leave. But not everyone stayed inside. It stands to reason that each of the five monsters has their own business.
To do it. No matter how close you are to Death Shadow Pavilion, at least you are still on the vast Qingli Ze.
It stands to reason that if there is any big plan, all five of them should be present. But there is one person who is still living outside, and that is the scorpion demon Jie Yan. Maybe she is too far away, or maybe the plan does not require her to stay in the Death Shadow.
He even deliberately let her communicate with the outside world. Of course, this is something that cannot be determined without asking in person.
What is also uncertain is the actions of the other two evil angels. They should have been within the control of the Death Shadow Pavilion. The vicious evil angel, now named Lu Wu, is now far away from his best friend She Ji.
This makes people find it unbelievable. In addition, he has close contact with the Shadow Pavilion, and even the evil envoy of the thieves, Ye Xuici, who is employed here, should not wander around for so long.
"Ye Xuici was 'invited' to leave by Shen Wujun," Shi Wuqi recalled. "She left to investigate Zhongli Wenjiu for Jiaomo. But after that, she couldn't go back. There is definite information.
, but she really didn’t go back. And according to what Jiao Mo said, at least at that time, even Mr. Shen Wu didn’t notice anything unusual about her."
"And Luowu left on his own initiative." Jiyue Jun said, "According to Shui Wujun, he went to trouble Miss Yinhuan to settle his old grudges in his previous life. In other words, he is still
There are no reliable clues to judge the intentions of Death Shadow Pavilion."
Shan Hai picked up the tea cup and said hesitantly: "Kuchuyue Lord doesn't know anything either, at least that's what he claimed. He said that he knew Xie Yan's whereabouts and would go and ask her in person. He and the Pavilion Master have been friends for hundreds of years.
He is an old friend, but he does not interfere in their respective affairs. Many situations in the past have also confirmed this. However, there was such an incident where he frankly admitted that he had an alliance with Satsuki-kun."
"What's up?"
"He has no scruples about exposing his purpose - he wants to introduce the new Six Paths of Impermanence. Lord Jiyue should also know this." After Lord Jiyue nodded, Shanhai continued: "Now there is a vacancy.
The position belongs to April
Uzuki-kun, Liangzuki-kun in July, Hazuki-kun in August and Shigetsuki-kun in November. Kisaragi-kun in February has temporarily retained his position due to your efforts. If he wants to expand his power, he will introduce new impermanence.
, that proves..."
"He will kill her someday."
The three people at the moment were silent. Some words could not be understood without following the reasoning. But now that they have thought to this level, the conclusion is obvious. What are the specific conditions for becoming the Six Paths of Impermanence? It is difficult to say——
Rather, it is very subjective, and only the Lord determines it. Could it be said that Lord Kutsutsuki's need for the Six Paths Divine Weapon has something to do with this?
"August is coming to an end... If there is no action in the remaining few days, it will be November. But we really can't tell his whereabouts without human prying eyes. It's just a trivial matter in the world. Judging from the few remaining days we have,
People are already exhausted."
"His plan was known to Gao Yuejun and he provided help. We don't know what it is exactly yet. We can only believe that they must be connected. But the matter of Kaiying's barrier in the Death Shadow Pavilion is also decaying.
It was unexpected by Yuejun. He was kept in the dark like the rest of us. He didn’t know what was over there.
This is a plan, but he just doesn’t want those things to affect his own. Strictly speaking, the shadow of Death Shadow Pavilion is not a conventional barrier, so even the Subduing Demonic Pestle cannot be broken. Because compared to isolating it from the outside world
, the current state is more like it has come alive and is hiding in the shadows that no one knows about.”
"This is...are you willing to believe him?"
"One of the reasons. Although he is cunning, he is very pragmatic and will not rashly expose things that he is not sure about. The most important thing is that he told me how to find the Death Shadow Pavilion."
"What can be done?"
Under Shi Wuqi's gaze, Shan Hai slowly took out a fragment of something. After Shi Wu Qi saw it clearly, he couldn't help but take a breath of air. Lord Ji Yue felt a little confused. He stretched out his hand, and Shan Hai handed the fragment to him.
In his hand, Mr. Jiyue clenched his palm slightly and felt the irregular outline.
"...Yun Waijing?"
It has been distorted by the fire, the edges are no longer sharp, and it is colorful and turbid. But there is no doubt that this is indeed one of the fragments of the bronze mirror. It is much larger than Ye Xueci's one, but it is only one-handed
To the point where I can barely catch it.
"It... still has the remnants of spiritual power, which is enough for me to identify it. However, I can no longer 'see' its appearance at all. Otherwise, when I first saw you today, I would have known about you
Hiding something."
Shi Wuqi stretched out a finger, pressed it on his temple and rubbed it. He almost didn't have the strength to do it, so he just turned his head slightly, which was considered to be a massage.
"I remember...Xiao was dead, and his remains, the mirror body of Yun Waijing, were missing at that time. No one noticed it, and even if they thought of looking for it afterwards, nothing was found. I never thought that they were
It was taken away by Lord Xueyue. Now in his hands, he has almost all the fragments of Yun Waijing. Of course, they can no longer be pieced together. Lord Xueyue also left one of these fragments in the Death Shadow Pavilion.
.”
"That is to say, he himself might have contacted the Death Shadow Pavilion in this way? If so, it is indeed much more believable. But... Speaking of which, didn't Ye Xuici also have such a fragment in his hand? I'm afraid at that time
Akatsuki's death should have dealt a severe blow to her ability."
"In the final analysis, she is also an evil messenger, but this is not the only way." Lin Shanhai looked at Lord Jiyue and said, "But it is true that she also has such fragments in her hands. I wonder if she can think of going back in this way - she
You may not even know that Lord Xueyue left fragments in Death Shadow Pavilion. So I want to entrust you to communicate directly with Ye Xuici. I know this is a bit difficult for you, after all, she was so obsessed with you, but... also
This is exactly the case, and I hope this situation can be properly utilized."
Shi Wuqi teased: "The majestic Lintian Master can actually encourage others to deceive their feelings."
Shanhai did not object, but Lord Jiyue did not respond. He just lowered his head and stared blankly at the pitiful fragments in his hands with hooded eyes.
