Chapter 256: Suspicion
Early morning was originally a symbol of beauty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, when I was in the worst state, I greeted the ghost capital in the early morning of the night, and no matter how beautiful I was, I was in a bad mood.
I looked at the surroundings, and at first glance it looked like a human being, except that the people walking on the streets were ghosts. Feng Xue and I were walking, and Mo Xuanyuan and Ghost Niang were "protected" by the Ghost Emperor, so they must still be asleep at this time.
I said it was rest, but in fact, I didn't have a good rest at all last night, and I kept thinking about the warm gray bottle in my mind, and countless flowers on the other side made my eyes hurt, but they were still imprinted in my brain like a brand, lingering.
"Let's go to the north first today, the ghost emperor said that there is a big hole corroded on the north side of the city wall, let's go and see the situation." I said to Feng Xue.
"Do you need to prepare something?" Feng Xue asked.
I thought about it for a moment, "I just went there to check the growth of flowers, so I just went there."
Feng Xue nodded when she heard this, and followed me quietly.
When we arrived at the West City, we saw a patch of white flowers spreading out from the root of the wall, and a deep crack in the majestic wall was conspicuous, as if the city wall might fall to the ground at any time because of this crack.
There were no ghosts on either side of the street, and even the houses were empty and uninhabited. Regarding this point, I heard the Ghost Emperor say before that because the breeding of the flowers on the other side will grow faster if the ghosts are used as nourishment, so all the ghosts in Xicheng have been migrated.
When I came to the flowers, I looked out along the cracks, and sure enough, as I thought, the flowers were organized into a sea of flowers, as far as the eye could see, symbolizing beauty and cruelty.
"Alas~ I have a headache." I said to myself.
Seeing this, Feng Xue on the side asked me, "But it's uncomfortable?"
"No, I'm just wondering, why does this flower grow so violently for some reason?" I thought, my hand unconsciously caressed, and my eyes followed the wall in front of me.
"Let's go to the walls and have a look." I said to Feng Xue and walked to the side of the stairs.
Ascending the 300 stairs, I was on top of a high wall with Feng Xue. For a while, the place where the eye touched was an endless sea of flowers. Although I was mentally prepared early in the morning, I still felt a little tightness in my chest when I saw such a dense scene.
It's not because I have obsessive-compulsive disorder or anything, but because the scene in front of me looks a little too depressing. Patches of red, beautiful but also dazzling.
There are no leaves and only flowers, and there is always a lack of foil, which makes it seem particularly lonely. Perhaps because of this, the flowers themselves tell this loneliness very well, and invisibly convey their own feelings to us.
I don't know if it's my auditory hallucination, but I always feel that there is poignant music coming from the sea of flowers, the sound is long and smooth, like the resonance of countless musical instruments colliding, and the solitary sound of individual instruments. Sometimes resentful and sometimes melancholy, it makes people exhausted.
I sighed, exhaled my annoyance, and turned my gaze to the snow. I saw Feng Xue standing quietly on the high wall, looking into the distance, and what he saw in his eyes could not see the bottom of it.
The secret scream was not good, and he hurriedly turned around and called for Feng Xue.
“…… Snow sealing? Snow! I shouted at Feng Xue, my hands nervously grasping her arms and shaking them gently.
Feng Xue suddenly came back to her senses, her eyes widened, her breath was a little disordered, and she looked as if she had just passed away from the ghost gate.
"Are you alright?" I asked Feng Xue about her appearance, obviously in some kind of illusion, and I was very worried about this.
Feng Xue breathed a sigh of relief and said to me: "I'm fine, I was bewitched by the voice, and I accidentally didn't control my state of mind, thanks to you, thank you."
Hearing Feng Xue say this, I breathed a sigh of relief, and only then did I realize that my hand holding her shoulder was a little hard. Stiffly withdrew his hand from Feng Xue's shoulder, and pretended to be natural and said: "Although I didn't know that this flower on the other side still has the power to bewitch people, I was almost tempted just now, we have to be more careful."
"I see." Feng Xue said, her head hanging slightly.
Seeing Feng Xue like this, I was a little nervous, for fear that she would misunderstand something, so I quickly explained to her, "I didn't mean to blame you."
"I know, you don't have to explain." Feng Xue said in a normal voice.
With some uneasiness, I looked out into the city. I saw that the flowers under the city were all white, and they looked like a dividing line. Unconsciously sketched the bottle in my mind, and the scene inside seemed to have such a clear boundary, firmly framing the sea of flowers in it.
"Feng Xue, you come and see. Do you know why the changes underneath are so differentiated? I asked Feng Xue.
Hearing this, Feng Xue followed my line of sight and looked down. After a while, she said, "I don't know very well, but if I can collect a sample, I will go back and study it, and maybe I will know why." Feng Xue said to me.
"Samples, yes? It's easy to do, you tell me the requirements, and I'll collect it. I said to Feng Xue, looking eager to try.
Feng Xue didn't know where to take out the two sterile pull bags, she handed them to me and said, "Although a whole tree is more valuable for reference, it is too troublesome to bring the whole tree back." So, I need a sample of red and white flowers, and each one needs a flower, a stem, and a root, which are well preserved and fresh. That's all there is to it. ”
When I was asked to go, I grabbed the bag and was about to leave, but Feng Xue stopped me, saying, "The other side flower seems to be a simple plant, but when you take it, it secretes mucus from the gap, and those mucus are poisonous. And its pollen is also toxic, so it's best to be prepared before you go out into the field. ”
"I see." I said to Feng Xue, and smiled at her with a reassuring smile.
Turning to go downstairs, I first intended to take the white flower closest to me. However, when I stood in front of the cluster of white flowers, I hesitated to take the whole tree back.
With this in mind, I put the bag in my hand on one of the flowers, and uprooted the soil from the head to the bottom, and at the same time took out the flower pot from the treasure bag and transplanted the flower directly into the pot. In this way, the freshness of the flowers on the other side can be guaranteed. I thought.
Putting on protective gear, I walked through the crack to the sea of red flowers, and used the same method to get the red sample. After successfully getting the sample, I walked on the way back, through the original road through the crack, Feng Xue stood not far away, for some reason, she showed me a smile that I couldn't understand.
