Chapter 31: The Remnants of the Qin Dynasty
"Uh......" Mu Shan touched his round belly, burped contentedly, and slowly walked towards the figure in the depths of the woods: "It's been a long time since I've been so happy as I ate today." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info If you can live such a carefree life every day, how good it would be! ”
Ahead, the trees were heavy, and the lush branches and foliage cut the cool moonlight into pieces and sprinkled them on the ground.
The evening breeze, with a slight salty and bitter taste, blew slowly from the other side of the woods.
Mu Shan looked at the figure sitting on the edge of the woods, with a few strands of long hair flying in the wind, and couldn't help but speed up his pace: "Miss Sakura, I'm so interested, admiring the moon and listening to the waves, it's a great joy in life." ”
As the distance narrowed, Mu Shan faintly heard the sound of the waves surging around.
Yachi Sakura turned her head, her eyes habitually narrowed into a half-moon shape, two shallow dimples appeared on the side of her mouth, and she smiled: "Lord Mu, why don't you rest early?" ”
"Hehe, I can't sleep. What's the point of admiring the moon alone, don't mind adding me. Mu Shan walked to Yachizakura and sat down, only then did he see what she was holding in her hand, and said, "Miss Sakura, did you make this up?" What a beautiful butterfly, just like the real thing. Can you show me? ”
"Well, let Master Mu smile." Hachiya Sakura handed the vivid butterfly in his hand to Mu Shan, and said with a serious face: "There is a legend passed down from our ancestors in our hometown. If you weave a butterfly for yourself on the night of the full moon, then even if you are unfortunately lost one day, your soul will attach to the butterfly and fly back to your hometown. ”
"No wonder, when I came out just now, I saw that your people were weaving something out of straw, and there was such a thing." Mu Shan looked at the lifelike butterfly in his hand and said, "Miss Sakura, are you very homesick?" ”
"Home ......" Yachi Sakura looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said gloomily: "I don't know ......." I don't even know where my hometown is? ”
"Why, isn't your hometown on the other side of the sea, a place called Fuso?"
Mu Shan looked at the water-like moonlight sprinkled on Yatsuyakura's innocent and beautiful face, and suddenly had an urge to touch her in his heart, just like the moonlight, with his own hands, gently soothing this lonely girl.
After hesitating again and again, Mu Shan finally did not dare to exceed the etiquette, and comforted in a low voice: "If you come, you will be safe, since God has sent you here, then this place will be your home from now on." As long as it is a place that brings you peace and happiness, it is your home. ”
Yatsuya Sakura hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Mu may not know that our ancestors did not originally live in Fuso, but the inhabitants of this Middle-earth land. Do you remember what that Boundless Lord told you a while ago? Emperor Qin ordered Xu Fu to cross to the east to seek the elixir of immortality, and when Xu Fu set out that year, he took three thousand boys and girls from the Central Plains......"
"Those three thousand boys and girls are the ancestors of our Qin clan!"
Yachisakura's voice suddenly became ethereal, like the moon that could be seen overhead, but could not be touched: "It is said that Lord Xu Fu took us to farm and survive on the land of Fusang, and our lives were originally peaceful, but then a nine-headed fierce snake came out of nowhere and kept devouring our ancestors. Lord Xu Fu fought back brazenly, fought with the fierce snake, and cut off one of its heads, but in the end, he was still defeated by the fierce snake and was swallowed by it. That fierce snake is the eight-fold snake that is now wreaking havoc in Fusang! ”
Speaking of this, Yatsuya Sakura seemed to be falling into a nightmare again, and her body trembled unknowingly: "Since then, the Yachi Great Snake has been pestering us, and for hundreds of years, countless people have died at its hands. ”
"The aborigines of Fuso were very kind to us at first, but later they felt that we were ominous people and attracted the Eight Miscellaneous Snakes, so they gradually alienated and hated us, and even used swords and guns against us......
"We had a hard time with Fusang, and then the Xuannu Holy Envoy, the woman who ambushed us at the beach last night. She found Sister Shadow, showed us the way to take refuge in Middle-earth, and provided us with a large ship and food and water, so that we could have a good life today. ”
“…… But until now, it still refuses to let us go, and I can still feel its existence, just like ......, it has traveled thousands of miles from Fusang all the way to pursue us, and it will not give up until it kills us all! Countless nights, I'll be woken up by it......"
"Silly girl!" Mu Shan involuntarily took the eight cherry blossoms into his arms, and comforted him in a low and affirmative voice: "What are you afraid of, this is the land of Shenzhou, there are powerful masters, more than the Qing who crossed the river, if that big snake dares to chase after it." Hehe, Yangzhou's local snake Huoyun Hall will not sit idly by, and even if Huoyun Hall can't do it, there is still me. As long as I'm alive, that big snake won't hurt you! ”
"Hmm!" Yachi Sakura nodded heavily, and began to show a sweet smile on her face again, broke free from Mu Shan's embrace, picked up his right foot, and said with a smile: "Lord Mu, don't move, I'll measure your size, and I'll make a pair of beautiful straw sandals for you to wear tonight." ”
The soles of Mu Shan's feet were touched by Yachizakura's little hand, and he suddenly felt itchy, and laughed happily: "Miss Sakura, how embarrassing is that, it is useless and ...... to be ."
Mu Shan looked at Yatsuya Sakura, who squatted down to measure herself, and something as red as blood began to shake in his eyes, vague, but extremely fast, as if with an incredible magic, making Mu Shan's eyelids begin to become heavy.
A deep tiredness slowly grew from the bottom of his heart, and Mu Shan suddenly felt that even the moon above his head began to shake, becoming more and more illusory, until it disappeared completely.
Yachi Sakura looked at Mu Shan, who suddenly fell asleep on the ground and snored, and asked suspiciously, "Lord Mu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"Sister, don't get close to him, he is a thousand times more dangerous than the Eight Miscellaneous Snake!"
"Sister Shadow, you're finally back!" Yatsuya Sakura heard a familiar voice coming from behind, and couldn't help shouting with joy: "I haven't seen you for so many days, but I miss me, you ......"
Yachi Sakura turned her head, but she was choked in the middle of speaking, her eyes were round, her small mouth was wide open, and she looked at the figure in front of her in a daze, only to see that the person who came was just a blurry black shadow, and she couldn't see the outline of her face clearly, only a scarlet jade pendant like a hook on her chest, which exuded a faint light in the dark, weird and cold.
"Are you...... Sister Shadow ......"
"Hmm." Yachiying nodded lightly and said, "Sister, my temporary sojourn body was burned to ashes by the person on the ground, and I lack a body now, so I want to borrow your body for a few days." ”
"Sister Shadow, are you saying that Lord Mu destroyed your physical body......" Yachi Sakura looked at Mu Shan who was sleeping on the ground, shook her head and said, "Impossible, Lord Mu is not a bad person." ”
"Hey, it doesn't matter if you're a bad guy or not. Sister, it's a critical moment now. I have already discussed with Gong Lu of the Huoyun Palace, and tomorrow, Yangzhou will truly become our hometown. After being away for so long, we finally have a home that belongs to us. When it is calm here, let's take over the other clansmen who stayed on Fusang and live a peaceful and happy life. ”
Eight shadows turned around, looked up at Juanjuan Haoyue in the sky, and said with emotion: "It's a pity that tonight is destined to be a long and difficult night!" ”
