Chapter 112: The Man Chosen by the Flower of the Other Side
Her instincts told her that there was something else going on here. There's a huge secret to this lodge, and the answer is right in front of you! Hua Yan continued to ask, "What's wrong with her?" ”
She ...... She was burned to the ground, no matter how good her father was, he couldn't save her! Ziyi said, and actually hugged the painting face and cried.
One step away.
Huayan gently patted Ziyi's back and soothed: "Don't cry, don't cry, it's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault, it's providence that makes people ......"
"Nope! I was wrong! I should have burned that ancient book in the first place! It shouldn't have been given to Daddy! Ziyi said in a choked voice.
Ancient? What ancient books?
Hua Yan took a sip of tea with difficulty and continued to ask, "What ancient book?" ”
Ziyi suddenly stopped crying, got up from Hua Yan's embrace, and sat down again.
She wiped away her tears as she continued, but her tone was much calmer, "Do you remember a legend I told you last night? ”
"Yes." Hua Yan replied briefly, she didn't want to disturb Ziyi's words, and listened quietly.
"That legend is recorded in an old book, which I accidentally picked up from the woods in the back mountain when I was a child. I don't know who left it behind, or if I deliberately threw it there, but I just thought the pattern on the book was interesting, so I took it home and played with it. One day, I was studying the pattern on it when my father saw it. I remember that he suddenly became very nervous and snatched the book away without saying anything.
Since then, my father has locked himself in his room every day to study ancient books, and his mother often exhorts him from the study.
It wasn't until a long time later that Daddy suddenly told us that he had found the secret to immortality! ”
"What's the secret?" Hua Yan asked in surprise.
With an angry look, Ziyi continued: "No! Not at all! It all started because of the hot springs. There is such a story recorded in ancient books, legend has it that in ancient times, there was a fairy who offended the gods and was beaten down, and when he was dying, he drank the spring water next to him, and was reborn in Nirvana.
Since then, people have scrambled to get water, and after drinking it, the sick are restored, the old are still young, and the ugly are stunning. But the water of the spring is limited, and human beings do not hesitate to kill in order to compete for the spring water. However, human greed and waste finally angered the god of water. There was no more water in the hot springs.
The scrambling humans left disappointed. The human beings, who had already drunk the water from the spring, gathered together and dug a mountain and set up countless traps to protect themselves and the hot springs that had long since dried up. This is the Valley of the Madmen today.
In the past, the Valley of the Madmen could live peacefully without hot springs. But since Daddy discovered the ancient book, the whole thing has changed a lot! And said that he had a way to revive the hot springs. In the end, he did, but at great cost! ”
"How did the valley master do it?" Hua Yan asked cautiously.
"It is said in ancient books that if you want to calm the anger of the water god and resurrect the hot springs, you must sacrifice the most beautiful woman in the world!" The more Ziyi spoke, the more angry she became, she stood up, walked outside the pavilion, and quietly looked up at the sky.
Hua Yan then stood up and stood silently aside.
Ziyi continued with tears in his eyes: "Daddy is convinced of this, and he secretly captures all kinds of women and ...... them for various reasons Burn them alive! ......”
"What?!" Huayan couldn't help but take a few steps back, creepy, and so shocked that he couldn't move.
Ziyi suddenly turned to look at Hua Yan and continued: "Do you know how crazy he was at that time? One hundred young women, one hundred! They were all brutally burned to death, and he didn't even blink an eye......
Of course, only my mother knew about it, and I overheard their conversation.
My mother was persuading my father to turn back all the time, but he didn't listen to a word.
In order to stop her father from continuing to do evil, her mother kissed her...... She personally jumped into the fire where her father was burning!
......
Ironically, the so-called miracle happened, the hot spring that had been dry for a long time suddenly burst into water, and the spring continued to gush! The sick who drank the spring water were restored, the old people lived longer, and the ugly people became beautiful......
Daddy has finally stopped since then......"
"How could this be...... "Hua Yan groped her way back to her seat tiredly, the truth she wanted was there, but her heart was even heavier.
How cruel it is to mutilate the lives of others in exchange for your own!
Is the spring water a sacred water that saves people, or is it poisonous water that harms people?
Should I continue?
She didn't know.
"At this moment, a bright flower suddenly appeared next to the spring, which was exactly the same as the pattern depicted in the ancient book, which was named the flower on the other side." Ziyi continued.
It's the other side of the flower again! The attention of the painted face is re-attracted.
"Daddy said that the flower was the embodiment of my mother's mother. Since then, he has devoted himself to the cultivation of flowers on the other side, from only one tree, to a garden full of flowers, he spent all his energy, and his head turned white overnight, like a withered tree. I...... I know he's sinful, but ......"
"But you saved him with the spring water." Hua Yan continued.
Ziyi squatted down in pain, hugged his head and cried.
Huayan walked up to Ziyi and hugged her gently, "Okay, it's okay, it's not your fault......"
"What should I do......" Ziyi suddenly raised his head, "Since he drank the spring water, he has changed back to the gentle, docile and kind Zijun Mountain he used to be!" He began to work for the benefit of the people in the valley and became the lord of the valley respected and loved by everyone. He never spoke of his mother or anything that had happened in the past, as if it had never happened! ”
Hua Yan helped the purple clothes up and returned to the small pavilion to sit down. "I deeply regret what happened. I can't judge anything. Linlang, you must remember that you should never talk about this with anyone in the future. What you said to me, I will always keep in my heart. ”
Ziyi gratefully shook Huayan's hand and said excitedly, "Thank you, Sister Narcissus." I've never talked to anyone about these things, except you. I don't know why, from the first time I saw you, I felt that we had a special fate. I can't help but want to tell you everything. ”
The painting was stunned, not knowing how to answer. She couldn't imagine how Ziyi would react when she knew that she and Jade Mian were not brother and sister.
"Maybe it's because my sister also has flowers on the other side." Ziyi said suddenly.
"What did you say?" Huayan asked puzzled.
Ziyi pointed to the pattern on the bamboo flute on Yan's waist, "It's your bamboo flute, sister!" It is engraved with a flower pattern on the other side. The flowers on the other side are only available in the Valley of the Madmen. Yesterday I wanted to ask you, since you don't know the flower on the other side, why do you engrave this pattern on the flute? ”
Hua Yan cautiously held the flute tightly, "I bought this flute in the street market, not to mention, no matter what kind of flower, I can't see it." ”
Ziyi bit her lip regretfully, "I'm sorry...... I guess it's a kind of fate! The flower on the other side has chosen you! But my sister can rest assured, Ziyi will definitely achieve her sister's wish! ”
"What are you talking about?" Hua Yan asked suspiciously.
Ziyi returned to her usual brisk tone and said, "Jade-faced boy and Sister Narcissus, aren't you here for the spring water?" In order to treat your sister's injuries. But don't worry, no matter what the final outcome is, I will go and fetch the spring water to heal my sister's wounds. ”
Hua Yan gratefully held the purple hand, wanting to say something, but stopped talking.
A strange thought flashed through her mind for a moment, and she couldn't even think of it.
"Good! It turns out that you have been secretly colluding for a long time! ”
Guan Er suddenly walked quickly from the garden, and with an evil smile, he looked at the two women in the pavilion.
Ziyi stood up suddenly, and shouted angrily without confidence: "You have to talk nonsense! ”
Guan Eryu laughed and said: "What's even more ridiculous is that you are actually a liar who sacrifices your life to protect!" I'm not even worth it for you! ”
Ziyi looked at the painting in puzzlement, then turned to Guan Er and scolded angrily: "The dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth!" Get out of here quickly, or you're welcome to blame this girl! ”
Guan Er was not afraid at all, took a few steps closer, and continued: "You know, she is not called a narcissus, nor is she a sister of Jade Face. ”
Oops, could it be that Guan Er saw his identity?
No, in any case, you can't easily give it all out.
The painter forced himself to be calm and sat upright.
Seeing that Narcissus didn't say a word, and his expression was too calm, Ziyi had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"What the hell are you trying to say?!" Ziyi pretended to be impatient and said, in fact, she wanted to hear him continue.
Guan Er got closer and closer, and said proudly: "Her real name is Huayan, and she is the righteous daughter of Qin Zhengfeng in Taoyuan." He is also the lord of the imperial court. Just because the painter offended the royal family, he was sentenced to be beheaded all over the house, and the painter escaped by luck and fell off the cliff, although he escaped death, he was seriously injured. Seek jade noodles and come to the Valley of the Madmen to get spring water. They are not brothers and sisters at all, but mandarin ducks are deeply affectionate! ”
"What?!" Purple-clothed Huo Ran got up, she turned to Huayan and asked, "Sister Narcissus, you tell me, all this is not true!" ”
Hua Yan stood up and wanted to explain, but was still interrupted by Guan Er, "Hua Yan Xiao doesn't leave her hand, Requiem is her usual trick." If the girl in purple still doesn't believe it, you can take a look at the flute in her hand to see if it is engraved with the pattern of the flower on the other side. That flower is the symbol of Taoyuan,"
"Didn't the girl say that the flute was bought at the market?" Ziyi couldn't help but question Huayan.
"It's not easy to imitate patterns. That doesn't say anything. Huayan said quietly.
The words of the painting did not seem to dispel the doubts in Ziyi's heart, she remembered that these days Tianyu faced her meticulous care, and it was indeed not as simple as the relationship between brother and sister. She still looked at her with questioning eyes.
"Yes or no, try and you'll know!"
Guan Er pulled out the dagger on his waist and stabbed at Huayan quickly!
Hua Yan heard the sound of the wind and hurriedly took a few steps back to the side.
The first knife of the second tube missed, and the second knife was instantly raised, and the front and neck of the face were slashed. forced her to retreat again and again, falling outside the pavilion.
Ziyi looked at everything that happened in front of her blankly, she wanted to save Narcissus, but the jealousy in her heart that had been hidden stopped her. She doesn't know martial arts, and she comforts herself with this reason.
For Guan Er, the existence of Huayan is a great threat to him. At the beginning, he had already fought against her on Songshan Mountain, and finally hid in Tibet and escaped the pursuit of Taoyuan. Now that they meet again, let go of the painting is to end himself! If she is killed in the Valley of the Madman, outsiders will have no way of knowing, and she will be able to spend the rest of her life in peace.
A soft flute sounded, stopping the fierce struggle.
The poignant sound of the flute jumped over the empty garden, blending in with the surrounding landscape, and the fragrance of the flowers became more and more intense, as if all the flowers were blooming together at this moment.
Guan Er stood aside, the dagger in his hand had already fallen.
Although Ziyi was also infected by the power of Requiem and could not move, her mind was still awake, she clearly saw that the painting was blowing Zhu Xiao, and she personally felt the deterrent power of Requiem, and her heart was torn apart at that moment.
"Ziyi, I'm just friends with the jade-faced child. We have no ill intentions, I just want to heal my wounds. After Hua Yan said helplessly, she turned to leave, she didn't want to hurt anyone.
She walked in the direction where Jade Noodles had left, she didn't know what to do next, she just wanted to find Jade Noodles.
The road was unimpeded, even though the road had only been walked once.
Everything happened so suddenly, and it didn't take time for the painter to sort out his thoughts.
When did Guan Er find her? Wine shop?
The head of the Qingxu Dao died suddenly, and the mysterious ancient book, a hundred young women, the wife of the valley lord, and the flowers on the other side reappeared.
Flowers on the other side! Hua Yan was suddenly stunned and stopped.
It turns out that all of this is for the person who was chosen by the flower on the other side!
The floral fragrance is getting stronger and stronger, so dense that it can even feel suffocating. Huayan only felt that her head was blank, and that familiar, lethargic feeling instantly swallowed her!
