CHAPTER XXVI
"I don't know, the notes of the ancients only briefly say 'ominous', and no one knows what the specific consequences will be. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" The magistrate of Long County said faintly, in his feelings, he may have felt that Long Linglong was more auspicious.
"A damn flower is so harmful, the next time I see it, I will definitely break it, uproot it, and send it to the fire to burn, I can't let it hurt people again." Zheng Feng said fiercely.
"Has a woman died in this mountain? Why did a woman come to this deep mountain? I asked.
"Do you know what this mountain is called?" The county magistrate asked me.
"Famous Mountain." I know this, I have looked at the geography of this place when I did not cross it.
"It also has a name, it's called the palace maid's grave mountain."
"The palace maid's grave mountain? What a strange name, does this mountain resemble a palace maid? Zheng Feng said.
The palace maids all live in the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is hundreds of miles away from the capital, why are you buried here so far, the ancient embalming technology is not high, and the stones are transported from Beijing to here if it is summer, it will stink.
"In the history of the Ming Dynasty, there was such an incident, one night more than a dozen palace maids wanted to strangle the emperor to death, but it was unsuccessful, and later these palace maids were executed・・・・・・"
I know this incident, I can't know this in the history department of the Ming Dynasty, it was when Emperor Jiajing, the treacherous minister Yan Song sent a five-colored turtle to Jiajing, Jiajing liked it very much, so he let the two palace maids raise it, but these two palace maids are not professional biology graduates, they don't know the knowledge of raising turtles at all, and they raised the turtle to death in a few days.
Jiajing will definitely be very angry when the turtle dies, the emperor will kill people when he is angry, and Jiajing in history is not a very benevolent lord, the two palace maids who were responsible for raising turtles at that time were very afraid, so they connected more than ten other related palace maids, these people discussed, rather than waiting for the death penalty, it is better to start first, one night, these palace maids strangled Jiajing's neck with a rope, but none of these palace maids understood the principles of physics and mechanics, and actually tied the rope into a dead knot, Just because this knot couldn't strangle Jiajing no matter how hard she tried, a palace maid was scared, secretly ran out, and surrendered to the queen.
The queen brought people over, took down these dozen palace maids, and sentenced them to death.
"Those palace maids should all die in the capital, how can they have anything to do with the mountain?" I asked.
"This mountain used to have a name, called Green Ghost Mountain, and legend has it that there was a green ghost in the mountain, who ate the corpses of the dead, and those who were eaten were not allowed to be reincarnated, but would become lonely ghosts." Long County Magistrate said.
"Emperor Jiajing executed more than a dozen palace maids and still didn't get rid of his hatred, and threw their corpses into this mountain, turning them into lonely ghosts?" I asked.
"Yes, there is such a legend among some of the older generations." Long County Magistrate said.
"These flowers are the result of the palace maid's unjust soul?" I asked, it's really hard to imagine that an incident in history hundreds of years ago is directly related to the present, which really makes people unable to connect immediately.
"It's very likely that those unjust souls have transformed into these beautiful flowers." Long County Magistrate said.
"Will those unjust souls kill the eldest lady?" Zheng Feng asked.
County Magistrate Long didn't answer, because no one knew what the consequences would be if those unjust souls found Long Linglong.
"But Yuan Weichao also picked a flower like that, why does he seem to be fine?" I remembered the embarrassment of Yuan Weichao picking flowers and giving them to Long Linglong.
"Yes, Yuan Gongzi didn't run out at night, and helped find the eldest lady, why didn't he have anything to do? Don't you care about flowers at all? Zheng Feng analyzed.
The county magistrate Long was silent and did not answer, these assumptions of the palace maid's unjust soul change are some sporadic legends, no one can be sure, an hour has passed, there is no news from Long Linglong, the next urgent task is how to find her, to see people alive, and to see corpses when dead.
Speaking of flowers, how did I feel the faint fragrance of flowers, I asked Zheng Feng: "Have you smelled the fragrance of flowers?" ”
He sniffed vigorously a few times and said, "It's a little fragrant." ”
County Magistrate Long also felt it for a moment, and said, "It's that kind of floral fragrance, it seems that it's not far from here." ”
Since the three of them all said that there was a fragrance of flowers, they couldn't be wrong, and the kind of harmful flowers were not far away.
"Since we have encountered that kind of harmful flower, let's go and pull it out, so that it can harm others again, and avenge Miss." Zheng Feng said loudly.
"Don't touch it, burn it with fire, burn them all." I said, in case we all get the soul of that flower, it's not a joke.
County Magistrate Long carefully distinguished, pointed with his hand and said, "In that direction." ”
We went in that direction, the more we walked the more intense the fragrance of the flowers, we knew that the direction was right, about half an hour later, we saw a splendid sea of flowers in front of us, this sea of flowers bloomed on the gentle slope of a mountain, in the dark night can not see how much area, can only see countless large white flowers, on the top of the flower stem, gently swaying in the breeze, in the background of the night, it looks very terrifying.
How to burn this large sea of flowers? Originally, I thought that there were more than a dozen palace maids, and there were only a dozen such flowers, but now it seems that the unjust souls are also multiplying, if they are all burned clean, it is an uncontrollable mountain fire, which will burn the vegetation of the entire mountain, and there are many beasts and creatures in the mountain, are they also roasted?
We have to take it another way, herbicides have not been invented in this era, and even if there are herbicides, we won't take them with us when we dig ancient tombs in the mountains.
"There seems to be a man there." I saw what seemed to be a dark shadow shaking in the middle of the flowers.
