Chapter 204: Tianzhao City
So what is Ling Wenxuan?
All combined, their friendship between them is only two years at most. Does she like Ling Wenxuan? Not necessarily...... Does she hate Ling Wenxuan? Not really...... Her values are based on the opinion of "living alone", and she evaluates objective facts with the flow and is tired of competing with others.
She neither affirmed nor denied Idoris's messianic theory, the so-called chaotic neutrality, people like her are easily used by bad people to become one of the accomplices, the god of love and beauty should not pin his hopes on her, she hates to make choices for others, and prefers to distinguish right from wrong as she pleases.
This means that Yuna must eliminate unnecessary feelings in order to avoid encountering the beard and the beard spirit who feed on the negative emotions of humans, if the beard person is okay to say, the beard spirit can be in trouble, although she has a dream stone body protection that makes the spirit dare not approach, but this thing is not always spiritual, very difficult to use.
The mass grave was filled with fog, and it was even more gloomy than when she went up the mountain, and the soft mud made her walk very hard, but she did not dare to slow down, because there were many chaotic noises occasionally from the cemetery, which sounded like a group of people following her, for fear that she would see some unclean things when she turned back.
The hemp rope tied to the wooden bed pressed her shoulders painfully, Ling Wenxuan's bones should have no weight, and it was effortless to pull them up, but she felt more and more heavy, and finally couldn't drag it anymore, and the satchel was accidentally cut by a tombstone, and the contents of the bag were scattered all over the ground.
Yuna cursed in her heart, and hurriedly leaned down to check the extent of damage to the satchel.
Unexpectedly, the satchel cracked a big hole, and it was not clear whether it was a quality problem or a hidden mystery on the tombstone, in short, she had to go around to the inscription to find out:
The Heavenly Yao Sect Parade Priest Ling Wenxuan is in eternal sleep here - the X, X, X, and X days of the Luminous Star Era.
After a long time, Yuna showed a miserable smile with self-deprecation, it turned out that the priest had already chosen a place to be buried, and her painstaking efforts were in vain, and there were no noble eulogies, no praises, and no gorgeous funeral goods around the grave...... Only unpretentiousness can match it.
There was a large rectangular pit under the grave grass, and the digging tools were placed next to the small mound, as if the diggers had just left and would come back at any time to fill the pit.
It seems that she has no choice but to bury Ling Wenxuan here, the process of shoveling the soil is not complicated, but it is really time-consuming and labor-intensive for her alone, unless the Nine Stone Dragon Soul will come to help, since the end of the adventure in Qishui Dragon Palace, she can no longer summon the Dragon Soul, not to mention that the Heavenly Machine Box has been fused with the Dream Stone, it is not accurate to call one of the names directly, it should be taken from the name of each of the two ancient relics, and it should be called "Heavenly Dream Stone".
In order to confirm whether this stone was worthy of this new name, after Youna sealed and buried Ling Wenxuan's bones, she lined up the contents of the satchel on the ground in order, and then whispered incantations and sealed them into the Heavenly Dream Stone in turn, which meant that she completely trusted what Ling Wenxuan had entrusted her.
As she was about to seal the last item, the emerald seven-hole bamboo flute, an old hand grabbed her right arm, and she shook her hand violently, only to hear an "ouch" sound, and an old woman with pale hair fell to the ground.
She hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the old woman didn't appreciate it, broke free of her hands, and muttered, "Give it back to me...... Give it back to me!"
Yu Na muttered in her heart that she didn't know the old woman, so why did she have to return it? But the eyes that looked at the seven-hole bamboo flute and Lan Lingxiang's eyes were the same color made her fully understand, and she immediately handed the bamboo flute to the man.
"Oh...... She was tormented and suffered...... I'm useless...... Can't save her. The old woman sniffed vigorously at the scent on the bamboo flute, and instantly turned her eyes wide to Yuna, "You shouldn't have come here! ”
"Actually, I'm also looking for Lan Lingxiang...... It's unlikely that I'll find her, but I'd like to see her body, just like the priest, and if I can't say goodbye, I'll be my best friend in vain. Yuna replied firmly.
"Then why don't you bury them together? My daughter likes Ling Wenxuan very much, you should try your best to fulfill their wishes. Under the fog, the old woman's pupils appeared more rounded.
"I just want to do what he wants. Yuna sighed.
"Oh! My daughter believes he's going to end up like this. The old woman shook her head in a delirious manner and pointed to the cemetery with a sneer, "To tell you the truth, this pit was actually dug by me, and I accidentally saw his tombstone when I passed through here, and when I thought of my daughter often mentioning this person, I wanted to dig up the earth, but ...... There's nothing in it...... Nothing......"
The old woman whispered and hummed a ballad as she walked slowly towards the end of the forest, and soon disappeared into the mist.
She had a premonition that something bad would happen to her, so she walked down the gentle hill path on the right to reach the ruins of a city gate with only a broken wall, wiped off the dust, and whispered the words on the stone tablet:
He who hates the world in heaven, come here, and I will achieve what you want.
- The Covenant of Creation
Yuna had not studied the ancient dragon script, but as the ancient memories gradually recovered, she actually understood that this ancient city might be related to her life experience.
The smell of moss is sealed between the ruins, there is no one on the street, all the shops have closed down, the surrounding houses are older than the Fallen Dragon Town, mostly made of stone or wood, the doors and windows are difficult to insulate from the cold wind, and the breath of death pours in in an instant, making bursts of wails.
The crying wind attracted a familiar figure, who hid in the corner of the wall in the distance and peeked, and once he noticed Yuna's gaze, he immediately turned and ran away.
The dense fog filled the entire ancient city, so that her vision was blocked and it was not easy to see clearly, she just subconsciously shouted Lan Lingxiang's name, whether she had to catch up to know, but that person ran too fast, Lan Lingxiang was weak and sick since she was a child, it was impossible to have such a fast speed, she had not learned to walk with the wings, but she was quite confident in racing with ordinary people.
Even so, she still couldn't catch up with the man, ran to the end of the street and almost fell off the cliff because she couldn't stop, looking at the gravel that fell into the abyss and the cliff that couldn't see the border left and right, she was confused, and even doubted the authenticity of the ancient city, until she accidentally ran into the "snowflake" falling on her face, and felt the warmth that she had not felt for a long time.
Yuna clasped her hands so that more "snowflakes" could land in the palm of her hand, pinched a piece and looked closely to find that it was not a "snowflake", but a red and white cherry blossom, flying in the wind, and the number of petals was so many that the whole sky was dyed pink and white.
There should be a cherry forest nearby, otherwise how could it produce so many petals, but on the other side of the cliff is a pine forest, not like a place where cherry blossoms grow, that is, this "cherry forest" can only be in the city.
At this time, with the scattered cherry blossoms, there was a sudden sound of tin canes behind Youna, and when she looked closely, it was actually two monks walking slowly towards her.
The only way she could think of was to hold the Heavenly Dream Stone to stop the Spirit from getting close, and then the waiter escaped, she had two paths to choose from: the end of the road on the left led to an obviously renovated hotel, the exterior wall was made of kiln bricks to wrap the decaying wooden interior walls, simple but graceful, and the street on the right was in a thick fog, full of unknowns, with no end in sight.
She didn't have a map in her hand, she could only instinctively judge which way to go, usually the more scarce the buildings, the more barren the place, the lower the chance of encountering people, and the more dangerous it was, so she briefly compared the two roads on the left and right, although the left side was spacious, but except for the hotel, it was full of ruins, but the houses on both sides of the street on the right were well preserved, so she ran to the right.
When the two Monk Spirits approached, Yuna was able to restrain their movements by simply holding up the Celestial Stone that emitted a light blue glow, and after repeating the above actions many times, she managed to shake off the two Spirits.
At this point, I can finally slow down and investigate the two rows of houses next to the street. As soon as she had this thought, she was surrounded by countless empty gazes, and they walked to each balcony and stopped to stare, the windows covered with a thin mist, and they couldn't tell whether they were humans or ghosts.
As she continued to walk, she saw the towering tree in her dream, also known as the Hidden Divine Tree, that is, the Hidden Tree. The whole cherry tree is so tall and straight that you can't see the crown when you look up, but there are only buds and green leaves left on the tree, and the huge number of cherry petals you saw just now are actually from the same cherry tree, and it is its last bloom.
Lan Lingxiang, who was wearing long hair on her shoulders, flashed in front of Youna's eyes, and she was so anxious that she immediately went around behind the tree, and suddenly knelt on her knees and sobbed silently. There was a small, inconspicuous mound under the roots of the tree, and when she saw that it was also a small amount of words, the person who was buried was self-evident:
Please forgive our sins, have mercy on our suffering, and offer the stars to lift the thousand-year curse.
- Year X month X day of the Luminous Star Era
After a long time, Yu Na recovered from her sadness, tried her best to suppress the resentment in her heart and climbed onto the flower bed, forcing herself to look farther away, in an empty square, found a church that was not shrouded in haze, according to Xue Shaoling, one of the four texts of the world "Tian Lai Shen Yun" is hidden there, the question is how to get over?
When she was about to jump off the flower bed, she was stopped by the hoarse voice of a woman behind her, turned her head to look, and immediately summoned the heavenly hat from the Heavenly Dream Stone to aim at the incoming person.
"Don't be nervous...... I'm not a bearded person. The old woman took off her soul mask, revealing her long pale hair and wrinkled face, and made a prayer gesture on her chest, "It's been a long time since outsiders have been in Tianzhao City, let me take a good look at who you are?" she helped Yuna to a position where there was no shadow of the hidden tree, and instantly exclaimed, "You are the Holy Maiden-Yuna!"
"What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Before Yuna could react, the old woman knelt down on one knee and bowed down in front of her: "Tianzhao Sect's brown-clothed godmother Lan Yifan see the Holy Maiden!"
"Please, I'm not a saint!" Yuna picked up the old woman in surprise, wondering how the other party could know her name, she rubbed her painful forehead and said in a trembling voice, "Have we met somewhere before?"
"I used to be the director of the Orphen Orphanage, and I took care of you for a while, have you forgotten?" Lan Yifan smiled meaningfully and shouted into the surrounding streets, "Come out, everyone, the Holy Maiden has returned, we are saved!"
Under Lan Yifan's call, many Tianzhao disciples walked out of the house and gathered in the direction of the hidden tree, and people were excited, confused, and uneasy...... Before receiving Yuna's reply, they let out a prayer that resounded through the sky.
