Chapter 103: Back to the End of the World
Delos's blood stained Mulberry's lips red, and slowly, a trace of unknown things seemed to flash in Mulberry's dead eyes, and then his fingers moved slightly.
"Mulberry Branch, has it worked, hasn't it?" Delos held Sang Zhi's hand tightly, the wound on her wrist made her frown inadvertently, but it was still replaced by a look of surprise.
And Mulberry, for the first time in the month, she turned her eyes to look at Delos's face. Although his face was still expressionless, although there was no answer, it was enough for Delos to be happy to have made this progress.
"Princess, your hand!" said Midori, who came in through the door and saw Delos's bloody hands and threw something in his hand. That's exactly what Delos told her to prepare, such as towels and daggers. Originally, Lu Ni didn't want to listen, and when she just left her room, she had secretly cried because she knew that Delos was going to do something to hurt herself and she couldn't stop it. But the retinue of her master and the love for Delos hidden in the deepest part of her heart still drove her to obey everything she had.
Lu Ni is an adult. Originally, she was the only daughter in the family. Although she is now working as the maid of the princess of the Demon Sect, her family also wanted her to become a man when she became an adult. This is very common in the Demon Sect. But because of the little longing for Delos in her heart, she still chose to stay by her side. Regardless of Delos's men and women, what if she will be her maid for the rest of her life?
She never wanted to get her love. She's just humbly secretly crushing on her.
At this time, Delos's eyes were full of mulberry branches, and she just waved her hand lightly at Lu Ni, indicating that she was fine, and she didn't seem to remember why she hadn't come back for so long.
Seeing her smile like a demon and grabbing the hand of the woman called Mulberry Branch, Lu Ni couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in her heart. Her tears finally flowed, but Delos didn't notice it. "Princess, your hand is injured, Lu Ni will help you bandage it. β
And Delos has mulberry branches in his eyes.
From then on, Delos would do the same every full moon. A light of her blood was drunk from the lips of the mulberry branch. Mulberry Branch's face gradually became rosy, and his eyes gradually became bright. She could begin to speak, the tears in the corners of her eyes began to stop, and a smile slowly appeared.
This will be the last full moon. And the record on the parchment paper that the last full moon does not require a small cup of blood, but requires the entire spiritual power of a person.
Delos. Someone needs to be killed. This is not a method of recasting the body of the tree, but a remedial method to temporarily awaken the fruits of the vicissitudes of life. But this method requires a life for a half.
Delos hesitated. Although she is the princess of the Demon Sect, she has not hurt a single life since she was a child. But so many full moon nights have passed, and I don't want to give up this opportunity so easily. Such a laughing girl, she didn't want to see her like a walking corpse all day long, and she burst into tears. But whose life will she have to sacrifice?
The full moon is getting closer and closer, but this question has been bothering her. There was a moment when she saw Lu Ni who was grooming her and even had the urge to strangle her. Fortunately, her sanity immediately took over her body, and after she calmed down, she saw Lu Ni being pressed under her body in a panic, still holding the jujube red wooden comb in her hand.
She immediately got up and yelled at Midori not to enter her room from today onwards. The corners of Lu Ni's eyes were red, and he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he just knelt down a few times, and then ran out with his face covered.
"I'm sorry. She looked at the background of Lu Ni's departure and said silently.
"What's wrong with Lu Ni?" Sang Zhi came in from outside the door, a little puzzled. "She seems to be crying, do you want to go and see it? As she spoke, she handed the flowers in her hand to her.
"It's so fragrant!" said Delos happily, "have you gone to the little garden, and are you in a good mood today?"
"Lu Ni, is it really okay?" Sang Zhi's eyes were still melancholy. Because she doesn't have a tree, she is fragile and sensitive all day long, and the slightest emotional fluctuation can hurt her heart.
"Really!" said Delos with extreme gentleness. "You see, I don't even reprimand her out loud. How could she cry?"
Mulberry Branch's frowning brows slowly stretched. "Delos. You know? I actually dreamed yesterday of a place full of yellow sand. The place was so empty, there was nothing but yellow sand, but I looked down on the earth like a tree. And there was a figure in the distance. I started to think it was you, and I was swinging hard at you, but you were getting farther and farther away from me. β
A small flower slipped out of Delos's hand, and her heart beat violently, could this be the so-called bad consequences recorded in the book? The process of forging the soul reminded Mulberry Tree of what had happened before? No! She would never allow it! But she looked at this face with a bright smile, did she want Sang Zhi to return to the puppet of the walking dead who washed his face with tears all day? She shook her head violently.
"Delos, what's wrong with you?
"Mulberry branches. Don't be afraid. As long as there is me in your world, I will always protect you, don't worry!"
"That place..."Sang Zhi was suddenly held in her arms, a little suffocated.
"That place doesn't exist, you just have to remember that I will always be by your side! I will soon be an adult, and then I will become a man, can you marry me?"
"Hmm..."
"Princess, tomorrow will be the day of the full moon. Green Ni stood outside the door, and she had not been allowed to enter the room since the day Delos suddenly lost her mind and nearly strangled her to death.
For a long time, there was no response from the house. Lu Ni sighed lightly and was about to leave, but the door was gently pushed open. "Thatβ" The voice was weak and gentle.
Green Ni turned around. For the first time, she looked at the girl in front of her so carefully, she didn't know what it was for, so that the princess who grew up with her would die for her, and even hurt herself.
"What?" she asked, unhappily. In her cognition, this seemingly harmless woman was obviously pulling her lover away from her side, and she suddenly appeared and divided the poor love that was already lacking. Now, she is still innocent.
The girl shrank slightly as if frightened, and her voice was even quieter, "Delos went out early in the morning. She said she would only be back the day. β
"Oh. Lu Ni looked at her face and was in a very bad mood, the princess used to take herself with her wherever she went, and now she needs to tell her, it's really ironic! She knew that tomorrow would be the last full moon night, and that the method of forging souls had come to an end.
Lu Ni was a little angry. She didn't believe that the little princess she had never killed since she was a child would do such a life-for-life deed for a dryad. If, if this woman had died, or had run away, perhaps the princess would never have done such or such a stupid thing for her again!
"Hey, do you know the end of the world?" Green Ni made up her mind, she wanted her to leave, to get back to where she was supposed to be.
"The end of the sky?" Sang Zhi shook his head, "I've never left here, why do you ask me that?"
"Never left?" said Midori sneered. "You are the fruit of a vicissitudes of life at the end of the world. It was my princess who brought you back. Why, now I think about the dictionary and forget my ancestors. β
"What?" Mulberry Branch's brows furrowed, and he didn't know why his heart suddenly ached, as if some broken pieces were piecing together in his brain.
"I know you don't want to go back, too, who would like to live there with such yellow sand! Or is our Demon Sect's bed comfortable, don't you say?" After speaking, Lu Ni didn't look at Sang Zhi's face, it seemed that she had won this battle very beautifully.
"The end of the sky?" Mulberry's thoughts began to clear, and it seemed to coincide perfectly with her dream.
"The end of the world," she repeated silently, "I'm going to take a look." β
Lu Ni didn't look back, she continued to stride away, "The end of heaven is at the end of this heavenly realm, you should find it!"
He was chanting the scriptures, when suddenly a familiar feeling caused a pain in his heart, and the faint aroma of flower juice suddenly filled the entire barren land. As soon as he rolled over and stood up, thin beads of sweat broke out on his head. "Mulberry branches... It's back. β
Mulberry Zhi stood by the slender and cold river, and held up the yellow sand with his slender fingers, and there was something in the sand that shone with a faint purple light. This made her feel very familiar, and she put her nose up and sniffed it carefully, and there was a kind of flower juice that she was familiar with, and asked, it was her own smell. Dellus had told her that the fragrance on her body was the best in the world. So, is it really as Lu Ni said, is he really a tree demon called the vicissitudes of the sea? This is the place where he once grew up!
She stood up and looked around, and suddenly, her gaze froze, and above the sand dunes, there was a figure so familiar that was staring at her. The sight was a perfect fit for what she had seen in her dream. Only in this moment, even she couldn't tell the difference between dream and reality.
"Who are you?" she cried out, taking a deep breath and exhaling as hard as she could.
The figure seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then fell to the ground, as if frightened.
"Who are you?" Sang Zhi was anxious to regain his lost memories. She didn't stop at her feet, and ran quickly towards the figure.
And that person, as if he had seen a ghost, only knew how to escape.
Mulberry Zhiben did not recover, and such a high-intensity exercise made her quickly begin to exhaust, her feet were weak, and her whole body was swept in the yellow sand. In her confusion, she saw a young man standing in front of her with a panicked and hesitant face.
The birth and suffering have already run away, and this woman is a trouble, and every time she appears, it will disturb her progress in becoming a Buddha. She let her mind be restless, let her mind be evil, and let herself not want to become a Buddha.
But I don't know why, when she suddenly appeared at the end of the world again, his pure heart, which had already been prepared to become a Buddha, was once again stirred up ripples. So, he couldn't control himself from secretly looking for her!
After wiping the yellow sand off her face, he knew that he would eventually lose his relationship with the Buddha.
