Bugui

**Bugui** (不归, *Bùguī*) is a black scabbard-less sabre with a long handle and was Mo Ran's weapon in the past lifetime.

## History

### Past Lifetime

In the past lifetime, Mo Ran received the weapon from Wangyue, a dragon living in Jincheng Lake, who requested to see some plum blossoms in return. Mo Ran requested Chu Wanning to seal Bugui’s consciousness because he wanted to think of a good name for it. After Shi Mei’s death, Mo Ran wanted to name his weapon *Mingjing*, but Chu Wanning did not have enough power to unseal it. As their relationship deteriorated, Mo Ran did not want to ask Chu Wanning to unseal it so the saber remained nameless for ten years. When Chu Wanning died, the sabre‘s consciousness became unsealed and took on Mo Ran's grief that Chu Wanning could never return. Mo Ran woke up from a drunken daze to discover that his weapon had the words *Bugui*, meaning "No Return", carved onto it.

### Current Lifetime

In the current lifetime, Bugui showed up at an auction in Xuanyuan Pavilion. The auctioneer claimed that the weapon was found in an unmarked grave and only had the word *Gui* on it. Mo Ran tried to call for it with his spiritual power but this resulted in Chu Wanning being revered by Bugui and passing out. The saber was then bought by Rufeng Sect's Ye Wangxi.

Five years later, Bugui showed up again during the Heavenly Rift at Rufeng Sect. Nangong Liu and Xu Shuanglin used the holy weapon to open a door to the Demon Realm and summoned a giant skeleton containing a body of a young man in its ribs. Bugui reversed Chu Wanning again and then disappeared with Xu Shuanglin through the Door of Time, Space, Life and Death.
