Chapter 160: Ruby Palace ~ The Ballad of the Curse

What a cold gaze it was, with a little sadness that had gone through vicissitudes. He slowly raised his eyes and looked at her in a daze, and before he could speak, he saw her make a small gesture, which meant quiet.

Turning around sullenly, he closed his eyes and saw her shadow everywhere, and some scattered memories that he couldn't grasp or touch. His mood was even more impatient, and she couldn't help but smile when she looked at it over and over.

And she drew in the void, "Ah Qi, we are trapped." ”

His hand touched the pot of flowers on the table, and he noticed that it was still as bright as blood when it should have withered. The world looks the same as usual, the only difference is the sunlight in the sky, there is no half of temperature, and it is even a little cold.

"You mean here, it's the Mirror Domain?"

"You should remember the bronze mirror on the table, Ah Qi, how do you remember the mirror domain?"

She then remembered that she had never mentioned Mirror Domain until now. And he easily recognized it. His memory .......

"I just feel familiar here. Let's find our way. ”

He leaned forward, everything in the mirror was strange and familiar, and there was even a feeling that he had been there before. When I think about it again, my memory is blurry again, and it becomes not so clear.

Wanyu followed behind, watching him walk around as before, and her heart was a little happy. If he remembers, those clouds of the past. Maybe it won't be sad either.

"Ahma, be careful."

A palace suddenly appeared in front of it, made of rubies, with a crescent-shaped roof, as if it had been there in a dream.

She stood there and stopped, and Su Qi stepped into the palace with one foot. He turned around and smiled and said, "Ah, come here." ”

I gritted my teeth, but I couldn't take that step. Troubled memories poured out, and the oath of foreknowledge of dreams was still in my ears. The slumber of the ruby palace, the prince no longer wakes up, the princess guards the lonely tomb, and when the blood-colored flowers bloom all over the earth, the princess waits, and finally sinks.

She was confused and confused. She has been to the Mirror Realm twice, once for life and death, and once for glorious punishment, but she has never seen such a brilliant ruby palace. I couldn't help but feel a little daunted.

"Ah Qi. Let's go. Let's go somewhere else, there's no way out here. ”

"We'll see," he smiled and beckoned to her, walking towards the palace. The wordless feeling in her heart became heavier and heavier, but how could she refuse such a bright smile.

"Ah Qi," she snuggled up to his side, looking at the palatial palace, her eyes glazed red. The empty palace can hear the echo of even a word. They walked deeper one after the other, and the most noble place in the palace was the emperor's residence.

It was the place where the dragon qi gathered, and I had a general understanding of the structure of the palace and accurately found the emperor's bedroom. It is clean and not stained with a trace of dust, but the owner of the palace is not visible. Here, there is no other adjective to describe except desertion.

"Ah Qi, let's go."

Wanyu felt the unusual aura, and the whip in her hand was thrown out, marking a bloody mark, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The surroundings are like mirrors, and you can see every corner clearly, and there are no external objects.

"Okay, let's get out of here."

Seeing that she insisted on leaving, Su Qi no longer insisted.

"Jingle Bell." The sound of bells in their ears, the sound of the wind and music, the two of them unconsciously followed the sound to the deepest part of the palace, which was different from other places. It's not full of red, it's more natural. Emerald-engraved plants and trees, as well as some real flowers. There is a small room in the corner, covered with curtains. If you don't care, you ignore it.

It seems that there is an old woman in it, singing an old ballad. Getting closer, she couldn't help but take a few steps back when she heard the lyrics.

The slumber of the ruby palace,

The destined end of the prince and princess,

……。

She covered her ears and squatted down in pain, those lyrics cut her heart like a knife, and Su Qi listened attentively. When he turned around and saw Wanyu's appearance, he called a few times softly.

"Ah, what's wrong with you? Let's go. ”

"Since you're here, why don't you come in and have a cup of tea with your mother-in-law."

A familiar voice, she had just been confused by her mind. Only then did I realize that it was the mysterious mother-in-law in the mirror domain, what would she have to do with the prophecy?

Pushing the door and servicing a cup of tea to Su Qi.

"Girl, you're back again."

"Yes, mother-in-law. I didn't expect to come back here in such a situation. It's just that when did you change your residence? ”

The mother-in-law she remembers has always lived in a bamboo house and likes that touch of green. It stands to reason that she doesn't like such a heavy red.

"My mother-in-law thought that red was also beautiful, so she found this festive ruby palace by chance and stayed there."

"Mother-in-law, can you tell me where the ballad just now came from?"

Wanyu couldn't wait to ask, she always felt that the mirror domain was different. The reappearance of the prophecy that had disappeared for many years may be a signal.

"You know, my mother-in-law likes to sing when she has nothing to do. The one just now, but it was just random. ”

Her expression fell, and she said that there was such a coincidence in this world, and she categorically did not believe it.

"The mother-in-law knows who built this palace. I remember that there was no such thing here in the past. ”

Wanyu wanted to inquire again, but her mother-in-law kept silent, and it was too late for Su Qi to ask again. Seeing that it was getting late, the two could only find a place to live in the palace.

The palace is still as bright as day, and birds fly from time to time. She leaned against him to sleep, and sometimes she heard the sound of birdsong, and the strange voice sounded again, and the familiar song surrounded her ears.

Princes, princesses, rubies. Who could have cast such a vicious curse, she woke up from her dream, drenched in a cold sweat.

"Ah Qi, let's go, I don't want to stay here for a moment."

Looking at her appearance, Su Qi had no choice but to take her back the same way. But the palace doors were closed, and there was no other way out.

It seemed that the strange voice remembered again, and this time, even Su Qi heard that mysterious prophecy.

He just thought it was ridiculous.

A red platform suddenly rose from the center of the hall, and the glass crystal coffin lay quietly on it, empty inside.

When she was surprised, she saw the red flowers climbing out from the bottom of the coffin, and she suddenly panicked, is this the so-called blood-colored flower?

The dark red vines were wrapped into a heart-shape, and she had a long whip in her hand, and the brush hit the heart-shaped vines, only to hear a low moan, "Sister, save me." ”

The vines suddenly dispersed, climbing around in search of support, and in the center a woman lay quietly in the middle, looking a little similar to herself.

She picked the man up and grabbed the empty space. Only then did I realize that the person in front of me was a spirit.

"Who are you? Why here? ”

"I'm you, you're me."

The woman said something strange, and Wanyu tried to kill her with a spell. The woman screamed and jumped out, and only then did she see her clearly, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was pitiful.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Qingli."

Su Qi's heart fluctuated for a moment, as if he had heard it somewhere. Wanyu's reaction was not much better than his.

It was that strange oath that came to my ears again, the tragedy of the princess and the prince, the woman in front of me was weak and boneless, why did my heart throb faintly.

"Is this palace yours?"

"yes, that's the best memory I have with him. It was a drawing he designed himself, but I can't find him now. ”

The woman's voice gradually lowered as she watched the palace slowly close her eyes.

The vines began to grow again, trying to keep wrapping her.

"Why is my heart aching, are you and I bonded?"

Wanyu asked the doubts in her heart, and the woman smiled faintly. "The day the blood flowers bloom, you will get the answer."

It seems that when these words appeared, the blood flower stopped growing. She looked at the flowers, and the flowers were looking at her. A heart-wrenching pain hit, and she fell to the side. Su Qi didn't know how to describe his mood, he turned his head to look at Wanyu.

But she saw the man fall, and beside her was the terrible vine, when did she come so close. Su Qi stretched out his hand and hugged the person back.

Look at the Qingli again, and be entangled by the vines again.

"Qingli, Qingli."

The woman smiled at him one last time, "We'll see you again." ”

No longer to be seen, the red platform that had risen fell again. There was no trace of it in the main hall again, and it was as calm as it was before it appeared.

Wanyu had already fainted. Su Qi walked out of the red hall with her in her arms, everything that had just happened was like a dream, their conversation was so strange, what kind of story would the woman named Qingli have.

And the blood-colored flower, what kind of existence is it?

Everything in the mirror was like a mystery, they were still in the ruby palace, the sound of the song was faint and faint, he thought for a moment and walked back to the room in the corner, raised a hand and knocked on the door.

The old woman opened the door slowly, and saw Wanyu who had fainted, and the man.

"Come in."

She made a way, and Su Qi hugged Wanyu and walked to the room.

She needed enough rest, and he was a little tired.

The old woman went out, "You can rest here, I'll sleep somewhere else." ”

As she spoke, she closed the door, and the footsteps faded away, Su Qi carried Wanyu to bed and arranged her hair. Leaned against her and fell asleep, the night was long. They slept for a long time before waking up. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw his quiet sleeping face, a rare beautiful man.

"Ah, you're awake."

He also opened his eyes and looked at her tenderly.

"Well, why are we here?"

"You fainted, so I'll take you to my mother-in-law's place. Thinking that maybe this is the only place where you can feel at ease. ”

"Where's my mother-in-law?"

"She went somewhere else."

Su Qi helped her up, "Are you still uncomfortable?" ”

"I want to see her again." Su Qi knew that she was talking about Qingli, but it was empty now, and she couldn't see the person anymore.

"It's late, the passage is closed." Su Qi said.

"Then let's leave. It is not advisable to stay here for long. Maybe the place to go out is still in that hall, and there should be some other mechanism that can open the only door. ”

Wanyu said and walked towards the main hall, followed by Su Qi. This time there was no strange ballad, and they wandered around the hall for a long time until they noticed a flower mark on the opposite wall, and she raised her hand and pressed it lightly, and the door opened.

"Ah Qi, look over there, there is light."

He looked in the direction she pointed, and it was the light from the outside world. The two followed the light and shadow all the way and came to Wanyu's bedroom. There was still the pot of flowers on the table, but it had withered. They're finally back.
