Chapter four hundred and seventieth: Passing on fire and poor wages
"You actually have the nerve to come to me. Your shamelessness is truly breathtaking."
This is what Ye Xuici said about Jiyue Jun. The latter didn't make any fuss, he just sat quietly opposite the stone table with a smile on his face. He never seemed to be angry about anything. Ye Xuici's four fingers
She clicked the table in an orderly manner, deliberately showing a little impatience. Seeing that Mr. Jiyue did not speak, she added:
"It's really hard for me to meet you. It's as if I could kill you if I say a word. But when you come to see me, it's like buying vegetables at the market. The stall is that stall and the person is that person.
, it’s easy to find wherever you move. I even put down my dignity and
I give up my dignity to ask you for something, but you just ignore me. How can I not be ignored when I am called by the six realms of impermanence? Don’t think that you saved my life when I was a child. I should be grateful to be called by you now.
Call him away. It doesn’t make sense.”
She tried her best to be sarcastic and showed no mercy. Lord Jiyue just listened silently and never refuted. The corners of his mouth did not rise and fall, and his gaze blocked by black eyelids was even more unsearchable. A while passed.
, Ye Xuici finally became quieter. Although it didn't seem like he had calmed down, it was probably just an intermission.
"Well, have you finished speaking now????????????????" Mr. Jiyue finally said, "Is there anything else you want to scold?"
"What you said is really more irritating."
"I didn't mean that."
"What's the matter with you finding me? Are you inferring something from your six paths? Do you want to charge me with something and cause some trouble, or do you want me to be an evil envoy to do something for you good people?"
Jiyue Jun smiled, with undisguised helplessness. But how could he refute what she said? He did come with a purpose. The autumn rain was falling outside the window, and the voice was soft and weak. Just now, Ye Xuici's voice covered the
After passing it, it became a bit more obvious now. Mr. Jiyue took a slow breath and said:
"I'm here to ask for some information."
"The buying and selling of information is never done for free. You should know the rules, right?"
"As long as you tell the truth."
"I'm not the kind of guy who talks nonsense. I still understand the rules of doing business - no matter how many hurtful words the buyer says or does too many hurtful things. Who makes me useless?
Where are the long things?”
Having said that, a woman with the qualifications to become an evil envoy is too modest. She doesn't know how much influence her information can have on the human world. In addition to information, there are also objects that may be used by her.
She stole it with her hand. But before Jiyuejun could answer, she said again:
"Maybe I will increase the price? Who makes the fragments of Yun Wai Jing no longer useful. After working in the Shadow Pavilion for so long, not to mention other improvements, I feel that I am better at doing business.
.How much effort you put in, how much reward you should ask for. Just like melons and fruits that are not in season, shouldn't you also ask for a higher price? This is matching. But compared to the unnecessary absoluteness of the Death Shadow Pavilion
It's fair. If you're a regular customer, I'd still be willing to negotiate a lower price."
"What I want to ask is what happened in the Shadow Pavilion." Lord Jiyue looked in her direction and said, "What do you know?"
Ye Xuici fell silent. She turned her head and looked out the window where the drizzle was falling. The pattering sound was louder than before, which was particularly prominent in this short silence. Was she reviewing what she knew, or was she reviewing what she knew?
What conspiracy was she planning to deceive Lord Jiyue? But her silence was enough for Lord Jiyue to realize that she did know something.
The wind picked up again, and the drizzle was politely invited to the window. Ye Xuici stood up, walked slowly over, and closed the window. The sound of rain suddenly became quieter, and the room was no longer so cold. But she did not
Instead of returning to his position, he stood still and said:
"I know that many people are paying attention to the Death Shadow Pavilion... because it can never be found again. Unlike in the past, they no longer use intricate terrain, complex spiritual veins, and advanced formations to hide, but
The ghost fairy's shadow was used. Not to mention outsiders, even our own people who were trapped outside could not get in touch. You are all trying to figure out what happened there and what Satsuki-kun was planning. But I want to say, for these
I didn’t know anything about it. After I left, I realized I couldn’t go back.”
"That's not all you should know."
"It's useless to deceive me, right?" Ye Xuici turned around and spread his hands, "I only know this. Although it is a little troublesome, it is better to say that I am free from the surveillance of the Death Shadow Pavilion, and I can move much more freely. I
I should thank Kanna-kun for inviting me out. But they did give me a reasonable reward. After all, treasures from the deep sea are rare. Alas, even revealing that I have no information is itself part of the information...
…”
Mr. Jiyue knew what she was implying. "Six Paths Impermanence Two Sleeves Qingfeng, there is indeed nothing I can trade with you. But if you have anything you want or information you want to know, I can exchange it with you - as long as they are reasonable.
, you can’t kill, you can’t harm others.”
Ye Xuici thought for a while and said this:
"I have nothing to want and nothing to know. Why don't you do something for me?"
"What's the matter?"
"I haven't thought about it for the moment, but I can let you give it on credit. After all, to be honest, even what I know about what happened there is very limited. If you owe me a favor, after all, I still make some money. Even if
In this case, do you still want to continue asking?"
Mr. Jiyue knew that this was not an equal transaction. Moreover, it was hard to say whether the conditions proposed by the evil messenger would have any bad effects. They were always so cunning. After pondering for a while, Mr. Jiyue replied:
"I can promise you, but you must tell me everything you know, and you must not spread rumors or lie. And for what I promise to do for you, you must not harm nature, kill people, or harm others."
"That sounds good, I can promise you. But how can you guarantee that you won't regret it after I tell you?"
Lord Jiyue had his own way. He took off the long harp behind him and placed it on the stone table in front of him. He stretched out his hand with only bones left, and gently stroked it from the center to both sides. Then, he grabbed something out of thin air,
Lifting it up slightly, there was a harsh sound of broken strings coming from the empty piano surface.
Spiritual power gradually gathered on Jiyuejun's hand bones, and a green light enveloped the strings, but there was nothing in the middle of the strings. One end of this hollow string, surrounded by spiritual power, was lightly wrapped
Ye Xuici's arms placed on the table startled her.
"What's this?!"
"Please imitate my actions."
Lord Jiyue grabbed the other end of the string and pressed it into the palm of his hand with the bone of his thumb. Ye Xueci imitated his movements and frowned to observe. The string was straightened by the two of them and hung tightly in mid-air. Lord Jiyue continued again
explain:
"Please read as I do."
He repeated what they had just agreed upon, word by word, with clear enunciation and rigorous phrasing. Ye Xueci did not catch the clue, so she read it again according to what he said. And just as she was finishing the last word
After saying it, Qin Xian suddenly
The two strings broke at the center and made that weird sound again. After that, the two strings got into their cuffs like snakes, snaked down their arms, and finally wrapped tightly around their forearms. Ye Xuici immediately pulled out his sleeves
I pulled it up, but couldn't see anything.
"After that, as I just said, you have to ensure that everything you say is the truth. This string will always exist until I complete what I promised you. As long as I still exist and you still live, it will be valid forever."
Ye Xuici lowered her eyes and looked at her arms carefully. Not to mention the strings, even the traces of pressing could not be found. She hesitated whether she could tell some lies to get through, but the moment she spoke, she
She could clearly feel a tingling sensation on her skin. If she looked closely, she could see that there were several spiral-shaped depressions on her forearms, which were extremely thin and deep. But no matter how she looked, she couldn't touch them no matter how hard she scratched with her other hand.
to any traces of strings.
She had no doubt that if she really told the nonsense, the invisible string would crush her arm.
"Don't worry. If I have the intention of breaking the contract, or if I don't comply with your request, I will suffer the same fate as you. And the damage caused by breaking the contract is irreversible, even if it is the impermanence of six paths, the lost arm???
?????????????will never come back again.”
Ye Xuici thought about it again and again, and felt that there was no regret. No matter how much she made the promise, she still earned it. She took a deep breath, calmed down her uneasy mood, and prepared to tell what she knew.
.
"I don't mean to deceive, but I really don't know much. However, I think I can tell you what happened before the Death Shadow Pavilion was hidden. I think it can be regarded as a clue. You know that there is a corpse pool deep in Qingli Ze.
Is that what outsiders call it? Although, people who know about this don’t go anywhere. They call it Wan Gu Pond, because countless poisonous poisons are indeed raised there.
The disease that spread wantonly before was fished out of that pond, and Wu Yin... or whoever extracted the needed parts. I heard that the poisonous pond was initially used to dump useless waste, and later it was used to dump less waste.
More and more. Slowly, they will take advantage of it. The strange thing is that no matter what is poured in, no matter how much is poured in, the pool will never be filled up. Maybe it is constantly eroding
The soil below, right? Who knows. One day I discovered that the place where the pond used to be was suddenly filled in. I didn’t think much about it at the time, after all, it had nothing to do with me. But not long after, it appeared again. Most people would think
I must have remembered the wrong place, but I trusted my memory and guessed there was something fishy about it. I paid attention to it a few times and found that it not only disappeared frequently, but also appeared in different places.
Although I thought it was strange, I never asked about it. After all, it was their business. Now that I think about it, maybe they want to use that Gu pool to plot some conspiracy? But what it is, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to know. Although I
I like to steal secrets, but I don’t want to get into any trouble with these six things that are impermanent. So I’m really sorry, your promise can only be exchanged for this worthless information.”
After saying that, Ye Xuici lay lazily on the table. The strings did not change, and that was the end of her statement. At least she said all the parts she found questionable. Jiyue Jun fell into thinking. Indeed.
As Lin Shanhai suspected, the most problematic thing about Death Shadow Pavilion is the Corpse Transformation Pool. That is
That is to say, what this group of people want to plan has something to do with poison. One of the worst possibilities is that they want to create a larger-scale epidemic, but for what purpose? These things are what Jiyue Jun alone wants to do.
It doesn't make sense. He will convey this information to others exactly as it is, hoping it will be helpful.
At the same time, he was also prepared to pay the price.
