Mu Wan carefully looked at the mud stains. They are a little stiff, and they have a rustling texture when gently scraped on them with their fingernails, but they can't get them off at all. Dai Luan looked up and down in front of her for a long time, and said a little incredulously:

"Your hand...... And what's going on with the legs? ”

Kapok raised his hands and looked left and right. Her fingers had become thin and long, even more than five—each of which had grown green shoots. The part of her white stocking that showed her leg had also turned a strange brown, which made people wonder how the mud had fallen on her leg through the sock.

Mountains and seas have a bad association. As she recalled, when she walked towards them, she staggered and fell at any moment. Ruyuejun looked at her and said with some regret:

"She's a monster...... The barrier here will keep out the demonic energy. Her remaining humanoid spells were fading. This kid must be a dryad, right? If you don't go out quickly, you will become an immobile prototype in the Dead Man's Swamp, and you will not see the sun all day long. ”

Kapok is still explaining. said that after they went down, when did Shi Wuqi come back, who came, who left, and when did Shi Wuqi go back. But it had been a long time since they came down, and the little girl, named Jiang Doudou, had to be with her, and she didn't dare to run around. Luckily, she didn't eat much, so please ask some old friends from Asuka to bring some fruit.

"But she's sick...... I guess you can't just eat one thing. I had no choice but to come down to you. ”

"How can time be so messy?" Mu Wan looked at Ruyuejun and asked, "Why don't you give up the time...... Not very long? ”

"Because I didn't move between the different gates. Once a spatial leap is made, there is a slight perturbation of time. It won't be long. Some impermanence does not like to go here willingly, and it will delay things. Unless the time is fine...... Usually walking to the Dead Man's Swamp is just to save trouble, but there is no real time saving. The time it takes to reach the destination is not much different from what it should actually take. ”

"We have to save her, and Miss Jiang."

Dai Luan's words can only represent a wish, but they may not be truly realized. That kid had nothing to do with them, but when they thought of Ruyuejun's previous words, and thought that she might die, they couldn't sit idly by. And now that it is not so far away from Qinglize, the two things of the medical Gu do not dare to delay.

"It's still too late." Ruyue-kun said, "Before she completely turns back into a tree." ”

Arbosis is intensifying. They can almost see with the naked eye that the skin of the bark is slowly spreading. A root system ripped through her socks and stuck out of their whiskers and dug into the ground. When she takes a step forward, she can lift up some mud, creating a noticeable sense of drag. Her hair had become stiff, like sprouts. Even the nail pieces have turned into young leaves.

"It's so scary here......" Seeing them, Kapok seemed to release all the grievances that were being held, "I feel very bad, and I seem to be able to see my friends in the poisonous fog." It's all phantoms, some I don't remember...... It's weird, I don't like it. ”

They suddenly remembered that along the way, they would occasionally see dead trees, or fallen rotten wood, mostly rotten and moldy. There is also driftwood in the mud pool. Where did all this wood come from......? The Swamp of the Dead is a place that has been carved out independently between the rifts, and there should be no native things. There are also these miasma, maybe it was not Gao Yuejun who did it back then, but these woods......

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, he didn't want Kapok to see it.

Ruyuejun saw his worries, sighed lightly, lowered his voice and said:

"At the beginning of the formation of the Swamp of the Dead, even though all the entrances were connected to the realm of the dead and alive, as a buffer, the present world was still barren...... This is not the case on the banks of the Bury Head River. It is also a dense woodland where red flowers and green trees are born, and many beautiful spirits live here. It's just that...... They all left, and there was no way to live here. Including your mother. ”

"My mother?"

Shanhai looked at her in amazement. Within today—who knows how long this life has been, he has received too much information. If those things before were not directly related to him, and Ruyuejun's seemingly casual words shocked him. Although strictly speaking, his mother's affairs had nothing to do with him, but he knew that the barren land was once his mother's hometown, and he may not know when he had set foot in the place where his mother lived.

She ...... What kind of person is he? What do you think? ”

"Well, I don't know her, I just know that she's a hard worker."

"Bitter people?"

Ruyuejun looked at him and asked, "Have you ever heard such a sentence?" 'Why are the crimson flowers gorgeous, and for whom do the crimson flowers bloom?' ’”

"I don't seem to be impressed...... Ah, isn't it a ballad? When I was a child, I heard others sing about it. It was sung by travelers, and it came from far away. We don't have this song locally. ”

Scarlet flowers fly, scarlet flowers fly.

The crimson flowers are unaccompanied, and the crimson flowers are unattended.

Why are crimson flowers gorgeous?

For whom do the crimson flowers bloom?

"Yes, it's a song that spread from this area. It was not written by a human, but sung by a forest goblin, and it spread among the world. There is still a second half of this nursery rhyme, perhaps it was spread too far and was not brought over. ”

The scarlet flowers bloom, the scarlet flowers fail.

The crimson flowers mourn themselves, and the crimson flowers weep.

Who is buried under the crimson tree?

Who is buried under the crimson tree?

…… Who is buried?

"Sakurasaki Momoro was a beautiful girl when she was alive. When she was a child, her father and mother thought she was a girl and threw her into the flower forest, which was rich in flowers, especially peach blossoms, and was called 'paradise' by travelers from afar, which was nothing more than remoteness...... They said that their daughter was snatched away by the youkai, which caused panic. As for her, she was raised by the monster of the peach blossom tree, and grew up under the care of the spirit of plants and trees, and she looked cute and cute. A few years later, a demon hunter came, and the villagers asked him to kill the group of monsters, never thinking that the child would be brought back alive. Hanabaya was traumatized and killed a number of youkai, including her adoptive mother. ”

The other three girls didn't speak, and they all listened quietly to the story.

Her father and mother had a younger brother at that time, and they reluctantly raised him back. When she grew up, they forced her to marry a rich man who was passing by, but she refused, and was killed by the rich man and buried under the cherry blossom tree in Taoyuan. Filled with spiritual power, her soul is difficult to disperse, and the flower forest reminds her of the faint truth of her childhood. So at the instigation of a spirit, she killed the rich man and her own parents. They all died in their beds, and when they woke up the next day, their bodies were scattered and covered with blood red, like falling stars...... The crime of homicide was particularly severe, and no matter what, her blood-stained hands could not be washed. ”

Your mother is a murderer. Ruyue-kun seemed to say this to him. There are no other feelings, just a simple statement of facts.

Shanhai felt a little sad in his heart, although he was a person who had never participated in his life, but when he thought of such a blood connection, the beating of his heart at this moment also made him sad.

"Ah, I remember." Kapok suddenly spoke, "Yingyue-kun...... Yes, Yingyue-kun often comes to us. She was gracious and didn't look like a murderer at all. I'm still young, and this story was told by other youkai. She confessed that she was appointed to be impermanent, not only for the sake of the world, but also to recognize her own mistakes. But, no matter how you think about it, I don't think it's her fault. ”

Her voice was hoarse, like a dry grinding sound. Kapok has become a little difficult to open its mouth, its vocalizations are inaccurate, and the skin on its face is very stiff. Mu Wan hurriedly stopped her, wanting to pick her up to prevent her from taking root. But she was too heavy, like a big tree.

"Rules are rules, and I'm afraid that lord doesn't want to set any precedent. Of course, she didn't support Ye Yuejun's relationship back then...... It wasn't until the Red Xuanqing Girl was dissipated by this that she faintly understood something. Your father was an amazing man. Ruyuejun looked at the mountains and seas, "He's an ordinary person." The young girl opened the door for your mother, and your father led her out. ”

"So what the hell is my mother...... It's the ......."

"Nope. The Lord did what he said he would, and he kept his promise to the former Immortal Moon Monarch. Your mother, with the help of her father, finds the spirit who instigated her murder in the first place...... And get rid of it. ”

"That's ...... What kind of youkai? Dai Luan asked.

"It's her dissected heart." Ruyuejun took a breath, "Love and freedom, your mother wants both." She didn't want your father, and your father just said, 'Go ahead, go and choose what you really want.'" You've suffered for hundreds of years.'" As far as she was concerned, she didn't care that it would only take a lifetime for a human being, but her lover's family and townspeople strongly opposed it and obstructed it in every way. Your father didn't care, but Yingyue-kun was distressed. She didn't want her lover to be hurt by love, so she chose the freedom of the two. ”

She didn't want her lover to be hurt by love, so she chose the freedom of the two.

Rin Yamami was speechless uncomfortably. He had always believed in the past that the Lord of Naraku always looked at the big picture, could always see what ordinary people could not see, and could always make the most correct choice among many decisions. Until now, he had no doubts.

But it's so impersonal, it's too lacking...... It's so cold, like ice that doesn't melt all year round.

This is the struggle and melting of rules and feelings. He can understand, but it doesn't contradict him being sad about it. But the grief could not last long, because someone came.

"It's so touching!"

The soft ground drowned out the sound of clogs, and there was a stiff applause in the air. Ruyuejun frowned slightly, staring at the person who was walking towards him through the miasma, closed her lips tightly, and said nothing.

A slight soft feeling originally surged in Shanhai's heart, but suddenly it seemed like hitting a stone, shattering his body and bones, and slowly sinking. He couldn't tell the color of the person who came, the Immortal Moon King, whether his clothes were the color of his own clothes, or if they were dyed by something else. Perhaps the faint smell of rust had told him the answer.

"What about abandonment?" Dai Luan muttered.

Immortal Moon Jun didn't answer him. The bloodied face was more vivid than any of his friends here. Demonic, treacherous, and yin...... Other than that, all the chilling temperament neutralized this feeling, making his demeanor more in line with the youkai who broke out of the waves in the sea of blood.

He opened his hand, his slender nails slowly dripping a half-solidified reddish-brown liquid.

"I'm a little tired...... But that's okay, it's coming to an end. ”

With that, he suddenly flashed in front of Kapok. It's a very different agility from the tone of the tired voice, like a rushing burst of fire.
