CHAPTER XXXIII
"Sit down." The old woman beckoned Shujue and Yan Beizhou to sit down, turned around and went into the room to get a box and came out.
"This is something that Jane Niang left behind." The old woman didn't ask Shujue what their relationship was with Zhen Niang, and after giving them the box, she sighed as if she had thrown away some trouble. "Jane Niang has been gone for many years, so hurry up and leave with your things."
"This mother-in-law, where is Zhen Niang buried?" Seeing that she was starting to get impatient and drive people away, Yan Beizhou hurriedly asked her.
"Where is she buried? How do I know this, in the wasteland north of the city, any of those graves could be hers, you can find them yourself. Let's go, let's go! β
The door closed, looking at the wooden box in Yan Beizhou's hand, Shu Jue and him stared wide-eyed.
Now what? You can't really go one grave at a time, right? Besides, everyone is buried, how to find it, all dig it up and ask if the bone frame under it is Li Zhenniang?
So the two went back to the county office.
The county government has already prepared a room for the two of them.
Shu Jue closed the door, released Ah Yan from the Moon Sword, and then opened the box.
There was a red head rope lying in the box, perhaps because it had been left for a long time, and the head rope had faded a little.
"This is ......" Ah Yan picked up the head rope, and the small bell on the head rope made a somewhat dull sound with her movements.
Thinking back to that year, my mother asked her what she wanted for her birthday, and she said that she wanted a head rope, and she wanted a red one.
Ah Yan's eyes were sour, but she couldn't shed a single tear.
She calmly tied her long hair with the headband, shook her head, and the bell rang.
It's like going back many years ago, when there was a woman standing behind her who combed her hair, and when her hair was tied up, she would always habitually shake her head and listen to the sound of bells.
Give the bell and ring it one step at a time.
Ah Yan is also thinking about it step by step in Zhen Niang's heart.
The thoughts hidden in the small wooden box were finally released on this day, but unfortunately they have long been lost.
Ah Yan lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, Shu Jue and Yan Beizhou stood on the side, and they didn't bother her.
"Sister Immortal, I want to go back to the village to have a look." It's not Linshui Village, it's the place where she grew up, but it became her nightmare.
"Okay."
Yuehe Village is next to Linshui Village, so when the massacre occurred in Linshui Village, most of the people moved their families and never returned.
Today, the village, like the waterfront village, has been abandoned.
Ah Yan's former home was the most magnificent in the village, but now it is lonely and standing alone in a ruin, the beams and trees have long been decayed, and it seems to be crumbling.
Shu Jue released Ah Yan, and she led the two into the house with a familiar car, but saw an unexpected person in the courtyard.
No, it's more appropriate to say ghosts than people.
The gray-eyed woman sat by the well, her ragged clothes and wounds, and her unfocused eyes staring in a certain direction.
The bell above Ah Yan's head rang softly as she walked, and the woman suddenly turned aroundβ
"Ah Yan? Did Ah Yan come home to see her mother? β
She groped her way in the direction of several people, but went straight through Ah Yan's body.
A light sigh sounded in Shu Jue's ears: "Zhen Niang's soul has almost been worn out in these days, I'm afraid it won't be long before it ......"
She didn't say the rest of the words, but Shu Jue understood.
Unlike Ah Yan, a powerful ghost who can create a domain, Zhen Niang is just a remnant soul, she has no chance of reincarnation, and can only dissipate in the world in the end.
Maybe it was the last moment of his life that he was still thinking about his daughter, which made a remnant of his soul remain to this day.
But...... And that's just for today.
The moment she heard the bell, Jane's remnant soul was obviously much lighter.
Her eyes could no longer see and she could no longer feel anything by touch, but even so, she was able to confirm where her daughter was by the sound of the bell.
"Mother......" Ah Yan raised her hand and gently put her hand floating under Zhen Niang's hand, looking like she was holding Zhen Niang.
She is still the childish appearance of the past, but Zhenniang has lost her once beautiful face in the pain of year after year.
The moment she heard Ah Yan shouting to herself, Zhen Niang's remnant soul trembled, and it became more and more dim.
"It's good to be back, it's good to be back...... Ah Yan, my mother knows that she can wait for you ......"
The sunset burned the red sky, and the dilapidated mountain village was also dyed a little crimson at this time, and Zhen Niang's voice became smaller and smaller.
She turned into a starry light and dissipated with the evening breeze of the setting sun.
Ah Yan looked at this floating light numbly, obviously she couldn't cry anymore, but she felt something overflow from her eyes and slide down her cheeks.
Returning from Yuehe Village to the county guard house in Fengnan County, Shujue was thinking about how to settle Ah Yan all the way.
Let her go to the cultivation realm, those old things may not be able to tolerate her; Let her be in the mortal realm...... It's so unrealistic.
In the end, Yinyue proposed that she should simply live in the Yinyue Sword temporarily, and she could still teach her to cultivate.
As soon as Shu Jue heard the spirit, Yinyue would even teach ghosts to cultivate?
[Is that right?] When I traveled north and south with Rinshuang, this world was still divided into six realms, what strange things I didn't know? γ
The Six Realms? Shu Jue grasped the key point in a sentence: [The human world, the demon world, what else? γ
[Those are not important] Yinyue's voice was rarely gloating: [When the human race was in calamity, the other four realms pretended not to know, after so many years, they were all wiped out by the demon clan, right? γ
As soon as he said this, Yinyue seemed to open up the conversation.
For a while, he said that the fairy world was hypocritical, for a while he laughed at the god realm for pride, for a while he scolded the ghost world and the demon clan for a nest of snakes and rats, and for a while he spurned the underworld for being greedy for life and afraid of death.
Hearing this, Shu Jue's mouth couldn't close, and she stood behind Yan Beizhou and sat on the Shunfeng Sword and was poured a mouthful of cold wind.
Only...... It's quite explosive.
But she really hadn't heard of the Six Realms in the world.
She tugged at Yan Beizhou's sleeve a few times: "Third Senior Brother, have you heard of the Six Realms?" β
Yan Beizhou didn't look back, "What Six Realms?" You're confused, aren't you? I only know about the Terrans and the Demons. β
Shu Jue fell into deep thought.
The senior brothers and sisters hurried back to the sect day and night, and as soon as Jian Shujue got out, he went straight to the library pavilion.
She hadn't read any of the ancient books in the library, so if she rummaged through them, she might be able to find some clues.
As soon as she heard that the little junior sister was back, Lin Nianjiao went to her with the newly refined pill, but was told that the little junior sister went directly to the library as soon as she came back, and she could only take the pill back in disappointment.
After Yan Beizhou came back, he also plunged into the courtyard to practice, studying the Fu Seal Formation, and the senior brothers and sisters obviously returned to the sect, but they usually couldn't see anyone.
The disciples burst into tears.
Senior Brother Yan didn't have to open the book, after all, he was originally one of the recognized volume kings in the sect, and he practiced everywhere for the formation runes, and he practiced for 366 days a year for 365 days.
However, who can tell them when the little junior sister will become like this?
I used to see her occasionally in the canteen of the sect, but this time I came back, I heard that I wanted to make a floor shop in the library pavilion and was rejected by the steward elder in the library, so I simply used the charm seal to sneak into the library late at night, but I didn't expect to be discovered, and I was almost arrested and interrogated as a thief.
The little junior sisters who only knew that they were running behind the senior brother before had worked so hard, what reason did they have to be lazy?
and roll them up to death.
For a while, the cultivation atmosphere of Qinghong Sect was unprecedentedly strong, and the old father Pei Xingmo expressed great satisfaction
