9. Alone and without worry
The scenery of Epiphany Mountain is still the same, but the difference is that the cherry blossoms in the Baili Forest are also bone-rooted. If you think carefully, it's time to bloom, and this time it's the cherry blossoms of the mountains in full view, and it's very beautiful.
The hillside is littered with cherry blossom petals that had failed earlier, and there is a thin layer of them, and it feels very soft when you step on it.
Nan Zili dragged the fox on his shoulder, and behind him was the rabbit-shaped soul in the palace. A man, a beast and a soul stepped on the cherry blossoms everywhere and searched for the depths of Epiphany Mountain.
Everything in front of him was such a familiar scene, and the fox whispered a small furry head to his ear, and whispered, "Do you still remember the blood sacrifice incident that happened in the imperial capital a hundred years ago?" ”
"Why did you suddenly think of this?"
"Nothing." She shook her head, remembering that the blood sacrifice a hundred and ten years ago was also on this Epiphany Mountain, and it was also such a season when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, "I said that there are many more souls in the imperial capital, and I remember that the imperial capital was also a sharp increase in souls." ”
Nan Zili's eyes sank, "This matter should be paid attention to." ”
On Epiphany Mountain, there is only one place where there is an ancient well and a mountain full of cherry blossoms, and there is no other place except here. Hundreds of years ago, the former concubine Miaoyuer faked her death, and the demon emperor believed that he really followed her will and buried her in Epiphany Mountain. It's just a simple bluestone tomb, but the ancient well is also buried in the tomb.
The so-called ancient well is built by the demon world since ancient times to discard the remains of demons that are not claimed by demons, and is called the Well of Eating Bones. Since the formation of the demon world, it has existed here, and the demon remains of the demon world were discarded here until this well was sealed.
It is rumored that there is nothing on the original Epiphany Mountain except this bone-eating well. Later, I don't know what the demon did, every time a corpse is thrown into the bone-eating well, a cherry tree will be planted on this epiphany mountain, and over time, a hundred acres of cherry forest will be formed here.
Shangguan Ziyu has always felt that this forest is quite spiritual, and these cherry trees are not only cherry trees, but the souls of thousands of demons buried here.
Cherry blossoms, ancient wells.
"You've really found a great place to sleep." She half-sat in front of the bluestone tomb, her little paws caressing the name on the stone plaque, "It's really blind to the Demon Emperor's heart for you, but you turned into his appearance and took away his country." ”
"Let's go down." Nan Zili lowered his voice, but he couldn't hide the tenderness in it, his tenderness was enough to be with her alone in this life.
"Hmm" The fox nodded, jumped slightly, jumped to his shoulder, and rubbed her little head on his cheek, for some reason, after she turned into the original, she fell in love with this action, "If you guessed correctly, the skeleton of the rabbit spirit should be down there." ”
Cherry blossoms, ancient wells. This hint is too vague, but I hope they can find its corpse, and it can be regarded as fulfilling its last wish. Behind them, a rabbit-shaped soul floated around the two of them, glowing a faint white light.
Nan Zili pinched a trick, and in an instant, he entered the tomb of his predecessor Concubine De, and the tomb was empty except for the bone-eating well. Scanning around, a white figure in the corner stood out in the dim tomb.
"Ah, here you are." Xue Mingchen walked out of the corner, his snow-white clothes were probably stained with some dust and a little gray. Seeing this, it seems that he has been waiting here for a long time, "Idle is also idle, it is better to come and see with you." ”
"The prince is really virtuous, even if he has every opportunity, he has to come down to observe the people's feelings in person." Nanzi's words today are really as sour as if he has eaten sour dates, and the fox only feels that the vinegar jar seems to have been overturned in front of him, and the vinegar is smoking.
These two big men, you look at me, I look at you, I don't make a sound for a long time, I completely forget what I want to do here, just care about the fighting spirit. It couldn't help but laugh dumbly, both of them were high-ranking people, and they were also childlike cute.
Taking advantage of the silence and fighting spirit of the two of them, the fox jumped off Nan Zili's shoulder, followed by a whining and crying soul, and the whole body was slightly glowing with white light, becoming more and more transparent.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Woo woo, I feel my body right around here. Woooooooo ”
The words of the rabbit-like soul finally pulled back the two gods of the fighting spirit, and looked around, there were no rabbit-like corpses here, but the bone-eating well in front of them was full of corpses. Many even overflowed, scattered around the wells made of jade.
If I remember correctly, since this place was sealed as the cemetery of the former Concubine De, there are no more demon remains thrown into it, and the old and new appearance of these corpses seems to have been discarded recently.
"Here?" Nan Zili frowned and pointed to the bone-eating well in front of him, and he was puzzled in his heart, according to common sense, there shouldn't be so many demon remains here.
The rabbit-like spirit nodded, and wandered to the bone-eating well, swaying and sinking into the well full of corpses.
The two of them had black faces, barely following behind it, only to see the corpses overflowing from the bone-eating well from a distance, and only when they got closer did they realize that in the center of the seemingly disorderly placed corpses, there was a small entrance, only the size of two fists. At the lower end of the hole, the rabbit-like soul is floating.
The already black faces of the two and one beast were even darker. The way the corpses at the mouth of the bone-eating well must have been placed on purpose, so in this way, in addition to them, there are also people who have been here.
Who will it be? Former Concubine Miaoyuer? If so, why?
"Here!" Suddenly a happy voice came from the well, "Woo woo, I found it, here, here." The soul of the well blinked and looked at the person in the well with round eyes.
The corners of the fox's mouth twitched a few times, looked at the size of the well, and then looked at the two people behind him, and his heart jumped sideways. The only thing that can go down to the well here is it and the soul.
"Which is?" The fox's paws stepped on the bones, making a gurgling and cracking sound, which sounded creepy. The demon remains in the bone-eating well have long been fragile.
"Below, underneath, whine, crushed by the skeleton of a wolf." The soul kept floating around, its big round eyes staring at its crushed corpse.
There are all kinds of demons dead here.
"Found it." It boldly pulled at the corpse in the well, frowned, picked up a complete rabbit skeleton, and swooped up.
Nan Zili hurriedly reached out to hug it and took the corpse in its mouth, the bones of the corpse were connected to each other, and it was the first time he had seen such a complete corpse.
The soul of the rabbit spirit in the well floated out, looking at the corpse in his arms and nodding, tears of gratitude in his eyes.
The two of them were a beast, and they chose a place full of cherry blossoms and dug a hole to bury the corpse of the rabbit spirit. It's a night, but it's worth it.
"There will be no more worries in your life, may you rest in peace."
