Chapter 58: Ghost Mother's Tears
The further you go inside, the stronger the smell of decay becomes.
Slowly, passers-by appeared in the dilapidated streets, and Mei Xiaoxian reflexively hid behind Ye Qianli, thinking that these people were just like the people in the Netherworld before, they were all ghosts in human skin. But Ye Qianli told her that no, these were just ordinary people in the mortal world.
The skeptical Mei Xiaoxian followed behind Ye Qianli, not daring to be too active at all.
After walking for a while, she saw a woman holding a toddler by a dilapidated stall, she looked very haggard, looked at the child in her arms with dull eyes, did not say a word, and somehow, the child also closed her eyes tightly, and did not cry or make a fuss.
Driven by curiosity, Mei Xiaoxian still walked over, perhaps because of her size, her squatting almost covered the originally dazzling sun on the woman's face. All the attention fell on Mei Xiaoxian at once.
Her chapped lips squirmed slightly, but she didn't say a word, Mei Xiaoxian turned her head and looked at Ye Qianli, hoping to know the answer from him.
"This is an ancient city left over from ancient times, and the people here are former people or orphans of the royal family, and the vultures have imprisoned them here using mysterious techniques, and our arrival may be a miracle for them."
"That'...... Doesn't she speak? ”
"I don't know, can I speak, the little demon himself asked?"
I have to say that Ye Qianli is a weird lord, rigorous for a while, arrogant for a while, just when Mei Xiaoxian was used to his gentleness, she suddenly looked empty-eyed, as if nothing had anything to do with him.
Forget it, since you're a mortal, there's nothing to be afraid of, just ask for yourself!
So, a certain demon pinched his fat face, deliberately pretended to be cute and amiable, and asked in a soft voice:
"Excuse me, sister, where is this?"
"Excuse me, sister, do you know where this is?"
After two sounds in succession, the woman just watched infatuatedly, but still didn't spit out a word. Mei Xiaoxian was helpless, and moved her eyes to the child in the woman's arms, and just wanted to touch the divine beast, but the woman seemed to be frightened, and shouted loudly:
"Don't touch her...... Don't touch her ......, she's still a child, I beg you...... I beg you ....... ”
"You can talk!"
Mei Xiaoxian, who was taken aback, took a long time to react, looked at the woman in a daze, and then looked at Ye Qianli. Seeing that he still didn't move, he had to explain to the woman first.
"That...... Sister, I'm not trying to hurt her, I just want to touch her, don't get excited! ”
"Touch her?"
"Yes, touch it!"
The little demon was sure once again that she really didn't mean anything else. The woman hesitated for a moment, then moved the child in front of Mei Xiaoxian. There was an unknown light in the pupils, poking Mei Xiaoxian again and again.
Despite this, Mei Xiaoxian still stretched out her hand.
Suddenly, her face changed color, and her heart was almost jumping out of her throat, ......? Why is this kid not breathing? Looking at the woman again, she felt that something was wrong, and was about to tell Ye Qianli, when suddenly, the woman grabbed Mei Xiaoxian and grinned.
"You...... What are you doing? Let me go...... Let me go! ”
Mei Xiaoxian broke free and tried to break the woman's hand hard, but it was too late, and bursts of yellow smoke began to fill the woman's body, and it became thicker and thicker.
"Didn't you say this is a mortal? How so? ”
Without waiting for Mei Xiaoxian to finish speaking, she felt dizzy for a while, and then she didn't know anything, I don't know how long it took, Mei Xiaoxian opened her eyes again, and what she saw was no longer the desolate streets and dilapidated houses before, but a huge hall, although it was not splendid, but it was not bad.
There was a strong fragrance in the room, and this smell seemed to want to cover something.
She got up slowly, but was startled, and there were a dozen men in coarse green clothes standing in front of her, their long hair untied and falling straight down on their shoulders. Their expressions and appearances make them look like puppets rather than real people.
"Are you awake?"
"Where is this? Why are you arresting me? ”
Mei Xiaoxian heard the woman's voice and questioned loudly.
After a while, a person wearing a crown and a black dress came out of it, it was Mei Xiaoxian who had seen the woman on the street before.
When the puppets saw this, they immediately knelt on the ground. Loud shout: "See Your Majesty!" ”
Your Majesty? She was...... Queen? Just when Mei Xiaoxian was surprised, the woman came over and took her hand.
"Don't be afraid, I just want to find a normal person to talk to."
"Normal people? Aren't any of these? ”
Mei Xiaoxian pointed at the people who saluted her, and asked puzzledly, completely forgetting her horror just now. He was even more afraid to explain his identity.
"They? Hehehe, they're just punishments left to me by the vultures, and they're all punishments ....... ”
The woman's voice is melodious and full of many secrets. Mei Xiaoxian didn't know why she was sitting on the street, and she didn't know where the child in her arms had gone, so she had to let her pull her.
Out of the door of the main hall, there is a wide platform in front of you. and a wall. The woman pulled Mei Xiaoxian and walked directly to the side. Somehow, all of a sudden, the sky changed, and the entire city wall was shrouded in a yellow wind. Can't see the surrounding scenery.
Mei Xiaoxian was a little scared. The woman seemed to know Mei Xiaoxian's thoughts, and smiled lightly, a little moving.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. It was the vultures who brought you to this endless realm, right? ”
"You know the Netherworld?"
"Not only did he know, but he trapped me here."
"Is there a way to get out?"
"I never wanted to go out, I just wanted to see him again."
Saying that, the woman suddenly burst into tears again, Mei Xiaoxian couldn't see hatred in her expression, but blamed herself, ......, it seemed to be a little. I just don't know what she's secret.
When she calmed down a little, she took the initiative to speak again and told her story:
"I was an ordinary woman in the mortal world, and later, by chance, I saved a demon who was crossing the catastrophe and helped him survive his catastrophe, and then ......, I made it easy for him to have a man and a woman, hehehe, at that time, it was ignorance, I didn't know what love is, what is love? Just know that if two people love each other, they can be together forever. ”
"My mother said that the relationship between two people, the persistent side is always more bitter."
Mei Xiaoxian couldn't help but think of the truth that her mother always told her when she was a child, and her mother also said that the flowers from the mountain bloom beautifully, but some people don't like it.
Now that I think about it, the appearance of this ...... "queen" sighing is somewhat strikingly similar to her mother's mother. I just don't know, what is the story of the mother, and what is the story of this queen?
"There are thousands of things in the world, and there are thousands of frustrations, at that time, I thought that I could change him, so that he was bent on goodness, and no longer indulged in killing, but I didn't expect his demonic nature to become stronger and stronger until one day, he was completely devoured, and even affected me and my children."
"Kid?"
"That's right, I'm pregnant with a demon child."
"What about the kid?"
"Kid...... He's dead. ”
"Ahh
"It's the kid you just saw when you came into town."
"How so?"
"I am not a good mother, and when I watched him slaughter the whole city, I threatened him with my child, thinking that if I killed his demon seed, he would have an epiphany. I didn't expect ....... ”
"Did he stop?"
Mei Xiaoxian continued to ask.
"Hmm."
"Then you've done a good thing."
"Hehehe, but I also paid a terrible price, my son ......."
The queen suddenly broke down and wept bitterly. In the wind, her voice was like a grumbling piano sound, playing a different kind of grief and pain. Mei Xiaoxian was on the side, I don't know what else to do or say? The fat body walked towards the queen, trying to block some wind for her.
"My son died, and he left the hatred to me and took away my qualifications as a mother."
Mei Xiaoxian heard the queen's remorse and helplessness, and she suddenly understood that these yellow winds were the queen's heart, spreading endlessly and not dispersing all year round.
Like some imprints left on people's hearts, they will never fade away.
Just as the queen was crying loudly, a face suddenly appeared in mid-air, Mei Xiaoxian's eyes widened, that face was none other than the Nether King-Vulture.
"Look, what a hypocritical woman, hahahaha, look at what you get yourself, how ugly, how miserable!"
"Eagle, my son ......, my son ......, I finally see my son'......!"
The queen didn't care about the slander of the Nether, at this time, she was just a mother who missed her child, humble but so great, she knelt on the ground, her hands clasped to her chest, the tears of remorse on her face were mixed with joy, longing to pray for the mercy of the Nether, but unfortunately, it was a hard-hearted guy.
"Shut up, this king is this king, never the son of any of you, you hypocritical and ruthless lowly woman, you deserve to live in this rancid smell!"
Mei Xiaoxian understood it, it turned out that what the queen said was right, he was actually punishing his mother and locking her in this endless realm, and ......, the child who was covered in the smell of rot turned out to be his dead self, so what is he now?
"Please forgive Mother, Mother regrets what she did......
"Hehehe, regret? Late? ”
I saw that the vulture waved his hand, and the wind stopped suddenly, but the queen's whole person floated until it ...... Jumped over the walls and fell hard!
Mei Xiaoxian was stunned!!
This is his mother!
"You're taking pity on her?"
The face of the Nether King gradually became hideous, and slowly moved like Mei Xiaoxian .......
