Chapter 387: Reinforcements from the human realm
When Gu Qing Shan saw the small white bird, he quickly realized.
This was the Blade’s weapon spirit.
As for the dead human from before ——-
“No need to look, because I can’t swing myself, I had to find a dead person to use me” the small white bird caught its breath and explained.
“Which means, the one that did the fighting was actually you?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Correct, I am the Bone-rending Hellspawn Blade”
“You said I have her presence on me, who is she?”
“Ah? You mean you didn’t meet her? That can’t be right, you really do have her presence on you” the small white bird was surprised.
Gu Qing Shan spoke: “You mean the blue-dress maid-looking girl? I did meet her, I just don’t know who she was”
“You don’t know who she was… that’s interesting, since she didn’t tell you who she was, I can’t arbitrarily tell you either”
The small white bird looked at Gu Qing Shan with considerable intrigue.
Gu Qing Shan didn’t bother himself too much with such details.
If you don’t want to say it then fine, there’s more important things to make clear right now.
“This humble one is Gu Qing Shan, I came from the human realm, pardon me asking but which numbered machine are you?” he clasped his fist and asked.
The small white bird listened with a serious expression, then suddenly opened its eyes wide.
Apparently it couldn’t believe he was asking such a thing.
The small white bird landed on the Blade’s hilt, then pointed at the Blade with its claw: “Look clearly, I’m a Blade, not a machine”
Gu Qing Shan froze.
A Blade truly isn’t a machine.
“Then does that mean asides from machines, there are other existences in Huang Quan?” he muttered.
“Of course the machines could handle normal management with more efficiency, but if something occurs in Huang Quan, they still need us to show up” the small white bird pridefully said.
Gu Qing Shan asked further: “I want to ask you, just what exactly is the situation in Huang Quan?”
“About that, I don’t ——–” the small white bird said.
Gu Qing Shan cut it off: “I know that you can’t say it, but at least tell me about where some of the important things happened, I’ll go there and take a look myself”
These creatures and things in Huang Quan keep refusing to tell me anything.
Gu Qing Shan was already tired of hearing that.
The small white bird hesitated.
“I’m here for the sake of the human realm, please lend a hand” Gu Qing Shan pursued.
The small white bird: “You came from the human realm? So you already met those machines?”
“In reality, only 4 of them made it to the human realm in one piece” Gu Qing Shan answered.
He then retold the situation of the machines that came.
The small white bird spoke excitedly: “That means, you really are reinforcement from the human realm?”
Reinforcement…
Reinforcement from the human realm…
Gu Qing Shan was speechless.
Why does that sound so wrong?
I used to look forward to getting reinforcements from Huang Quan.
But now it has ended up that the weapons of Huang Quan are looking for reinforcements from the human realm…
Gu Qing Shan sighed and replied without much motivation: “That’s right, I guess I am”
The small white bird spoke: “How can I help you then?”
“I need to know what exactly happened in Huang Quan” Gu Qing Shan replied curtly.
The small white bird stayed silent for a while with a complicated expression before telling him: “Actually, that terrifying thing that happened, well it happened suddenly, and at the time ——-”
“Yes?”
“I was sleeping”
“…”
Seeing Gu Qing Shan’s indescribable expression as he heard that, the small white bird hurriedly explained: “Since the 88 machines are there, the management of Huang Quan was always neat and orderly, it’s been a very long time since they needed such an ancient weapon like me”
It spreads its wings and tapped its head: “So I was kinda a bit too relaxed… a…ha ha..”
Which means, the bird doesn’t actually know what happened.
“Then what about how you and the dead person cooperated?”
“Ah, that only happened 2 days ago, I can tell you that”
“Then please”
“When the crisis came to Huang Quan, the dead people of hells were split into two factions, one of them supported joining hands with the demons to thoroughly destroy Huang Quan and escape from the suffering of hell”
“The other faction wanted to fight against the demons, hoping to save Huang Quan and use the Merit from that to atone for their sins and reincarnate quicker”
The small white bird added: “As a weapon of Huang Quan, of course I support the latter faction and fought together with them”
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
If that’s the case, the chaotic situation from before can be explained.
Just now, he had to hide in the water for a very long time to catch that perfect moment to save the dead person.
This was basic caution.
Dead people can revive in hell after a long sleep, but Gu Qing Shan can’t do the same.
And during his wait earlier, Gu Qing Shan could faintly feel an immensely strong pressure of a Demon Lord deep within the Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
The Grand Tie Wei Mountain has already fallen into the demon’s hands.
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but ask: “Is there no one that cares about hell? What about the Divinities of Huang Quan? Did they all die?”
The small white bird answered: “I’m not so sure, since there were already no more Divinities in Huang Quan when I woke up”
“And you don’t know where they could’ve went?”
“I’m sorry, after the industrial revolution, it’s been a really long time since I last came out. It wasn’t only a few days ago that I felt the world crisis coming and suddenly woke up”
Hearing that, Gu Qing Shan sighed.
I only just got to Huang Quan with no directions to go on and no concept of what is right and wrong.
The most important thing to do right now is to collect intelligence.
Only when I know exactly what happened that I can plan and use force appropriately.
He asked further: “So you don’t know anything, but there should always be someone who does ——does anyone come to mind that would know?”
The small white bird instantly replied: “I guess the Divine Armaments would be able to sense the world crisis before I did, so they definitely know”
“Who?”
“One of the three Divine Armaments, Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook, it had never gone to sleep and was still recording the deeds of all dead souls”
“Really?”
Gu Qing Shan was now a bit hesitant to believe this bird.
The small white bird guaranteed it: “Yes, it knows the most out of everyone, nothing in Huang Quan is able to escape its watchful eyes”
“Can you take me to find it?”
“You just saved me, plus you have that person’s presence on you, so of course I can”
The small white bird flapped its wings and flew into the Bone-rending Hellspawn Blade.
The Blade spun around twice in mid air before pointing at a direction.
“That way!”
“Very well, let’s go find it now”
“Wait a minute!” the Blade stopped Gu Qing Shan.
“What is it?”
“I have to tell you this first, the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook is a weapon of Divinity, without its permission, you definitely cannot touch it. Otherwise you will die immediately”
“Understood, I’ll be careful”
“Let’s go”
The Bone-rending Hellspawn Blade brought Gu Qing Shan flying through the bottom of the Forgetting River.
Gu Qing Shan checked his remaining Soul Points.
Since the Chao Yin sword is constantly using Soul Points ever since a while ago to control the Forgetting River water, his 1000-odd Soul Points were steadily being eaten through.
I’ll have to move fast.
…
The Grand Tie Wei Mountain.
A secluded spot at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Qing Shan came out from the Forgetting River, landing on shore.
There were no sun in the sky, as well as no moon or stars.
But there was a faint light that came from above, illuminating his surroundings in a lonely hue.
This was the Huang Quan world’s night.
A dignified Buddhist shrine stood in front of Gu Qing Shan.
The entire shrine seemed to be deserted as it was deathly calm and silent.
“It’s here”
The small white bird came out of the Blade and spoke as it landed on Gu Qing Shan’s shoulder.
“What is this place?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“This is the Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook’s shrine of worship, its weapon spirit summoning contract is inside”
“Weapon spirit summoning contract?”
“Yeah. The Forgetting River Soul Separation Hook is a manifestation of Huang Quan’s Law, so only a Divinity of Huang Quan can hold it in their hands, it won’t arbitrarily show up just anywhere”
“If any creatures besides Divinities wanted to contact it, they have to use the weapon spirit summoning contract to call it out”
“Got it” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
