Chapter 16 fiftieth night without pupils

But when it was getting dark, the sun withdrew his last smile, and a middle-aged man in a gray gown with a cane was walking on a winding path. Behind him is a village, an ordinary village, but this ordinary village is extraordinary because of the monument at the entrance of the village. The middle-aged man has come here to inspect the stele almost every day since he can remember. This is his job and responsibility. Everyone should have responsibilities in this world, those who have no responsibilities just live for themselves.As a man, some responsibility must be picked up on the shoulders, otherwise, it is not a real man.

The same is true for Ji Xue, his responsibility is to protect the clan of the Ji family, this is his responsibility as a descendant, he does not feel wronged or injustice.Because being the clan of the Ji family is not something to be happy about.On the other hand, he was also thankful that although he lost a leg because of Ji Yan, there was no serious problem after the prosthesis was installed. As usual, he came to check the stone tablet at the entrance of the village, the one engraved with the word "Sanskrit". But today he saw that the stele was cracked, cracked from the middle, and the crack penetrated the word "Sanskrit".Ji Xue was speechless, his face was instantly as dark as the blackness of night.

"It's time to come, it's always coming." He sighed softly, nodded slowly, and walked back. The black fox has never appeared again, and Smelly will naturally grow into a strong black fox along with its father.But I never knew what the black fox told Ji Yan that day, and why the black fox was afraid of Ji Yan. Perhaps a good friend must also keep some secrets, some of his own secrets, so that it will not affect the friendship between us.Most people think that people are curious because they have secrets, but they don't know that if people don't have curiosity, then it doesn't matter what secrets they have.But I know that if Ji Yan doesn't tell me something, it will be a little troublesome to prove it.

By the way, there is also that young man who has no pupils but got Li Zheng's body, what the hell is he doing.Maybe being with someone like Ji Yan Lizheng can always give people strange things. It's great to have such a friend. "You want to know why you retreated by yourself when you were looking at me that day?" Ji Yan leaned her body on the red bookshelf, looked at me with squinted eyes, and spit out a smoke ring from her slightly opened mouth.I'm already at Ji Yan's house, and the child sitting next to him is Li Zheng, who is reading an old notebook and paying no attention to us at all, it seems that he doesn't mind that he has become so small .

"Actually, I don't know, but I heard what the black fox said." Ji Yan stubbed out the cigarette butt, put her hands in her trouser pockets, and walked in front of me. "I was also surprised. I didn't know that I could understand their language, but I clearly heard it tell me that a silver-haired young man often appeared in that mountain, and the black fox could not smell a living person from him. smell, but also can't smell the smell of monsters." I was puzzled when I heard that, what does this mean? "Later I told Li Zheng, but I didn't expect him to say that the descendants of the Li family have also been able to understand fox language since ancient times. But in this way, I also know that that guy is actually hiding in the mountains." I rarely see Ji Yan wrinkled Frowning, even in the face of dangerous and complicated things, he always has a smile.I suddenly looked at Li Zheng, but he was still looking at the notes, as if it had nothing to do with him. When he found that I had been staring at him, Li Zheng finally put down the notes in his hand.

"What does it have to do with me? It's not that it's in my hands, I have no obligation to help you." He smiled, maybe I should have known earlier, there is no need to count on him, unless Li Zheng's own interests are threatened damage. "If you stand by and watch, you will only be a child in this life." I said coldly. Li Zheng paused for a moment, and looked at Ji Yan, who had an inexplicable smile on Ji Yan's face, but it didn't look like a smile when he looked carefully. "What you said is very reasonable. It is true that if Ji Yan is gone, firstly, I will lose an opponent, and secondly, it will be even more difficult to get back to my body. However, we are in the clear, and that guy can attack us at any time, and he We don't know the ultimate goal or identity, fighting against this kind of opponent is tantamount to fighting against the air." I have to admit that what Li Zheng said makes sense.

But just because it makes sense doesn't mean it's useful. "Well, let's set off today, go to the deep mountain where the black fox lives, and see if there are any clues." Ji Yan decided, and Li Zheng nodded noncommittally. I went too, this wasn't Ji Yan's original intention, but Li Zheng looked at me with a smile. "Let him go, even a piece of toilet paper will have its uses." Li Zheng smiled again. This is not a good metaphor, but since Ji Yan agreed with me to go, it is still acceptable. We didn't tell Luo Lei and Li Duo, especially Li Duo, neither Ji Yan nor Li Zheng wanted her to get involved in this matter.

They only have one wish, that Li Duo can live as an ordinary girl. We have all seen that kind of power, and they even know it better than me. That power will not only destroy others, but also destroy herself. It took us two hours to arrive at the foot of the mountain where we visited last time. It was no different from the previous few days. It was still very beautiful, but there were a lot fewer tourists. It's just that we didn't expect that someone would welcome us. White clothes and silver hair, wearing sunglasses, he stood in the sun and smiled happily. "I said before, if I'm not sure, I won't be enemies with both of you at the same time." He smiled, and sure enough, this guy did have Li Zheng's body, and even his tone of voice was very similar.

"Oh? Then you mean that you have this ability now?" Before Ji Yan could speak, Li Zheng spoke first. "Come with me, and I'll tell you everything." He took off his sunglasses, and I took a closer look, sure enough, gray eyes with no pupils. Let's call him Wutong. He seemed very confident, kept his back to us, and knew we would go up with him.The mountain is very quiet, and the occasional mountain breeze makes people feel very comfortable, but it is still a little damp and cool. The group of people was suddenly speechless, walking halfway up the mountain, Wutong in front suddenly stopped.He looked back at the three of us with a smile.

"Do you know why people have pupils?" Wutong asked with a smile.We were silent for a long time, and Ji Yan answered him slowly. "In the ancient times, Nuwa created man and molded his body out of clay, but the soul could not rest peacefully. Nuwa made pupils to constrict them, so when the pupils of a person dilate, it is time for the soul to leave the body." Ji Yandun After a pause, "But this is just a legend." "A person without pupils, of course, means he has no soul." Wutong stood on a high place, his body covered the sun behind him, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could feel that he had something to say.

"What on earth am I? I don't even know myself. I'm neither human nor demon, neither ghost nor god. Because these things are made of the soul. In fact, I'm just the fragments left after the explosion of the cliff of resentment, but entered this body for no reason. .So I kept the consciousness of Resentment Cliff, the consciousness of those countless unjustly dead people. One of the voices told me that if I want to really get the soul, I must gather the fragments of Resentment Cliff and Return Soul Incense explosion. The explosion returned The power of the soul fragrance has been fused into the fragments of the cliff of resentment, and each fragment of the cliff of resentment has amazing power. I use these fragments to deceive those mortals, and use their desires, so that the greedy and ugly human nature can turn the resentment Only by maximizing Ya’s ability can I hope to obtain a real soul, whether it is a human being or a god, in short, I need a conclusion.” He finally finished speaking. "But you indirectly killed a lot of people." I suddenly asked sharply, and Ji Yan also looked back at me.The sky gradually began to darken. It is said that there will be a partial solar eclipse today, and the sunlight behind Wutong began to lose its luster.Still smiling, he took out a box from his pocket, about two inches long, black iron color, when the box was taken out, a thick layer of black mist formed around it. Wutong opened the box, and a long hexagonal crystal floated out of it, like a black crystal.However, it seems that there is still a crack on it. "When my consciousness was incomplete, that voice also told me that two conditions are needed to integrate the real resentment cliff and the soul-returning incense." Wutong threw the crystal up, and the strange thing was that the black piece The crystal-like thing did not land, but was suspended in mid-air. "First, you need the blood-soaked fragments of the members of the Ji clan who were invaded by killing intent. Second, you need the bodies of the members of the Li clan. It's very lucky that we have both." It was so fast that everyone was so surprised that they couldn't move. He only stretched out one hand, Ji Yan couldn't move, and stood there stiffly.Li Zheng next to him was restrained in place, as if an invisible rope was tied to his body. "Do you still remember the person who can make people run endlessly. I gave him the fragments and didn't intend to take them back at that time, because I was in the dark at that time, or I was there when you were dealing with everything. When you killed him angrily, I didn't take back the fragments, because I understand the temper of your people, when you picked up the fragments, I let it enter your body, just like a well-stocked food , when I need to use it, I will take out the last and most important piece from your body." I watched as Wutong smiled and sucked out a cloud of black mist from Ji Yan's body. Just like the "running" time, only this time it came out of the body.The black mist quickly fused into a thin, thin surface in Wutong's hands, and finally entered the cracked black crystal.The crystal is truly intact. There was uncontrollable joy on Wutong's face. "Unexpectedly, it would go so smoothly." He was overjoyed and held the crystal in his hand. "Next, haven't you fulfilled all your conditions, but you still don't have pupils." Li Zheng suddenly sneered in a low voice, Wutong ignored him, turned and walked over.But Ji Yan knelt down on the ground as if she had collapsed. "I said, although I couldn't match you in that manor, but now I have this overwhelming power, even if you don't come to me, I will go to you soon." Wutong lifted the crystal over Overhead, towards the sun that has begun a solar eclipse. His eyes were looking directly at the sun. The crystal in his hand, the sun, and the pupilless eyes formed a straight line, and the covered sunlight entered the pupilless eyeballs through the black crystal, as if a ceremony was being held. Without saying a word, Li Zheng took out a handful of nails from his waist and threw them directly at the crystal.I could barely see the trajectory of the nail, only the sound could tell where it was going. Half of the nails hit Wutong's back, and the other half shot towards the crystal. Although the objects were different, the result was the same. All the nails fell to the ground for no reason, as if hitting a wall of air. Before I could react, Li Zheng's hands were full of nails again, and he rushed towards Wutong. But the ritual is complete, as the sun is back in full body again, and this time the partial eclipse is short. Wutong didn't turn his head, he still turned his back to Li Zheng who was rushing over. Li Zheng didn't throw the nail in his hand, but directly held it in his hand and stabbed it flat. But Wutong turned around, grabbed Li Zheng's hands with both hands, and lifted Li Zheng up. Li Zhengfei kicked Wutong's face when he was in mid-air, but was easily dodged. "This is your body, I don't care if it breaks." Wutong smiled, because I was fighting, I couldn't see his eyes clearly, so I had to help Ji Yan up, his complexion was much better than before , but still weak. As soon as Wutong's voice fell to the ground, Li Zheng suddenly spat out something from his mouth. It was actually two nails, and they flew directly towards the eyes without pupils at such a close distance. When Li Zheng spat out the nail, I saw a triumphant smile on his face, but the smile froze soon. Because something happened that he couldn't imagine. The nail did hit Wutong's eye, but it sank directly into it as if it had been shot into a pool of deep water. This time I saw it, the eyes without pupils finally had pupils.He has succeeded?But what is he now? The nails flew out of Wutong's mouth again, this time directly hitting Li Zheng's legs and ankles.Both nails went straight in.When Wutong threw Li Zheng to the ground, Li Zheng's head was covered with sweat, but he bit his lip tightly and didn't say a word. "Ordinary nails are useless to me, let alone you, even if you are the patriarch of your two clans, I will not be afraid." Wutong looked at the two people on the ground and began to laugh. "What are you now?" Li Zheng asked.Wutong suddenly stopped laughing. "I don't know, even I don't know, but I already have a soul, and I have the value of living. However, before I start enjoying my life, I must get rid of you, so that I can feel at ease." Wutong Walked over slowly. "Do you have any other tricks?" Ji Yan asked Li Zheng. "There are no dead bodies here." Li Zheng replied. "Then, just control me. I will perform a feigned death technique to stop all body functions, just like a corpse. But it can only last for a few minutes. After time passes, I may become a real corpse." Ji Yan struggled to stand up. "If we don't use it, we will die immediately." A worm appeared on Li Zheng's shoulder. I recognized it as a corpse control worm. Wutong stopped in her tracks and looked at Ji Yan with a little surprise. Because Ji Yan had already fallen down, like a piece of chopped wood, her eyes were closed tightly, and her face was pale.At the same time, the corpse control insect on Li Zheng's shoulder split apart and crawled into Ji Yan's body. "A living dead?" Wutong snorted from his nostrils. But before the second sound came out, Ji Yan had already pulled out the blood sword from his hand.His speed is indeed beyond imagination. The current Ji Yan is actually under Li Zheng's control, as if Li Zheng is manipulating a puppet to attack Xiang Wutong. Wutong struggled to dodge Ji Yan's attack.But he didn't notice that a nail on the ground was slowly moving. Nail jumped up from the ground and shot out. Wutong didn't dodge, not because he couldn't dodge, because he didn't need to dodge. The nail was aimed at Ji Yan. I almost yelled out. The nail entered Ji Yan's right hand holding the blood sword at a fast speed.I seemed to see that nail going through Ji Yan's arm. Wu Tong was stunned by all this. The blood sword pierced Wutong's right eye, and he backed away with all his strength, but the moment he landed, the nail also shot out. But Wutong no longer has the ability to retreat. The nail shot through his eye.That was no ordinary nail, with Ji Yan's blood on it. He needs the fragments soaked in Ji Yan's murderous blood to complete the ceremony, but now Ji Yan's blood is indeed a deadly weapon for him. I saw the pupils in the pupilless eyes slowly recede.He seemed unable to believe this fact. "You told me that after the ceremony is successful, I will have a soul, and it is an immortal soul." He shouted to the sky with all his strength. Who the hell he was talking to I don't know, but I know he's done. Wutong's body quickly disappeared and turned into dust. This also means that Li Zheng can no longer retrieve his body.I saw his eyes blink, and there was no other excessive expression on his face. Ji Yan also lifted the feign death technique, but her entire arm could no longer move.Where Wutong stood, only the black crystal was left.I walked over to pick it up. There were four more knives on the ground. It turned out to be a knife made of paper.The white paper is like the paper money thrown at funerals. I looked up and saw a young man wearing a tall and narrow long hat, half kneeling on a paper crane and looking at us with a smile on his face. It was indeed a paper crane, and the young man was holding a paper knife in his hand. His attire resembles that of an Onmyoji from the Heian period in Japan. He has a handsome face and very cold and deep eyes, but there is a smile on his mouth, but it is a smile without any emotion. The crystals on the ground fused with the soul-returning incense floated up and fell into the hands of the young man. Ji Yan and Li Zheng have no more strength left. Although I am not injured, I know that as long as I take one more step, the paper knife will pierce through my heart. Wearing a large white robe, the young man stood up, waving his sleeves casually and grandly. "I can finally come out." He actually spoke, and I was still worried that my Japanese was not good enough. "If Wutong hadn't believed me, I'm afraid I'd still be imprisoned in the Cliff of Resentment. But it doesn't matter, if the freedom of more than a thousand years can be exchanged for the fragrance of returning to the soul, it is very worthwhile." After finishing speaking, he patted the paper crane. Clapping, the paper crane flew up quickly. "Take care of your health, I still thank you very much." Although the voice is still there, the person is gone. Neither Li Zheng nor Ji Yan knew him, and had never even heard of him. Although I know that there is only one onmyoji who can use paper, I really find it puzzling. How could he appear in this place. But now there is no time to think about his identity, the top priority is to send the two to the hospital. I went to the bottom of the mountain and called the mountain guards to come up, and it took a lot of effort to transport the two of them down the mountain. Fortunately, both of them had skin trauma. Although the nail pierced through Ji Yan's hand, they both miraculously avoided important nerves and bones. It seems that Li Zheng was very careful in controlling the nail. It's just that one of them wrapped their hands and the other wrapped their feet, and they looked at each other without speaking. It seems that the two of them are going to stay here for some time. What I was thinking about was how to make up an excuse to deal with Li Duo's inquiry. Suddenly I thought of Wutong, he didn't seem to have appeared at all, but he just became someone else's banner, maybe like some people, he spent his whole life trying to prove his worth, only to find out that he was still being accepted by others. Take advantage of it. This is the saddest thing.
