Chapter 21: Devil's Mountain
They followed the Xiao family through a series of pavilions, ascended the Moon Bridge, bypassed a towering stupa, and finally stopped outside a brightly lit gate.
"The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return. At this time, in a corner pavilion outside the gate, a middle-aged man dressed in white stood there, he recited Liu Xiang's "Jing Ke Assassinated the King of Qin" in a low voice, with a little heaviness and helplessness in his tone.
"Brother Zixian is so elegant, it's so late, and I'm still in the mood to admire the moon and chant here. The white feather boy took out the folding fan and walked up quickly.
Zixian heard that someone was talking to him behind him, so he turned around and looked at the white feather child. "Bai Yu Gongzi laughed, I have unpaid ambitions, and I feel sorry. ”
"You are young, what do you want, wouldn't it be beautiful to chant poetry and paint at home!"
"Alas, you don't know that I have grand ambitions, how can I be willing to sink into the ordinary. ”
"Hahaha......" Bai Yu Gongzi looked up to the sky and smiled, shook the folding fan and stopped persuading. "Well, everyone has his own aspirations, so do what you want. He left the corner pavilion and went to Master Xiao's guest room not far away.
"Childe, wait!" Zixian saw that he was followed by two strange women, and he was suspicious, so he stopped him.
"What's the matter?"
"It's so late, what's the matter with Childe taking the two girls to see my father?"
"Oh, both of them? They're my friends. Bai Yu Gongzi pointed to Princess Lan Lun and said to Zixian: "Our two friends have been running around for a day, please ask Brother Zixian to arrange two good guest rooms for the two of them, and treat them well." I'm going to go to your father's place, and I can't take care of them for a while. ”
"That's the case, the white feather boy will go for the time being! ”
"That's good!" said the white feather boy, bowed to Princess Lan Lun, and walked away quickly.
Zixian looked at the back of the white feather boy in the distance, and said to the few maids standing in the distance: "A few of you come here, take these two young ladies to the White Clothes Garden, and arrange for them to stay." ”
"Yes!" Zixian finished speaking, a girl in purple took the lead and walked over, she smiled at Princess Lanlun and said, "Miss, please." ”
Princess Lan Lun looked at the small and delicate girl in front of her, and suddenly felt that she looked like Wanyi. How could there be such a similar person in the world? Princess Lan Lun wondered in her heart, and handed the Wanyi in her arms to a few maids who came up with her.
"What's your name?" As they passed by a few white moon trees, Princess Lan Lun asked the name of the woman in Tsing Yi.
"Sugar!"
"What a sweet name. ”
"Hehe! A lot of people say that. ”
"Where do you live and who are your biological parents?"
"I don't know this, I only know that I was really saved by Zixian Gongzi in the Devil Mountain, and I don't remember everything before. ”
"Ghost Demon Mountain?" Princess Lan Lun was shocked when she heard this name, she remembered clearly, Wanyi was brought back by herself in a village under the Ghost Demon Mountain, could they be twin sisters?
Princess Lan Lun thought to herself, suddenly felt a heartache and fainted.
In a trance, she seemed to be out of her body and came to a place where the flames were soaring.
This place seems familiar, but it also seems strange.
The surrounding ruins, ashes, collapsed houses, remnants of fires, all the scenes tell of a catastrophe that has taken place here.
There were many charred bones on the ground, as well as some animal carcasses and bloodstains.
It was the first time she had come here, this place was more than a thousand miles away from the desert, she had come here to look for her aunt, but she didn't expect to see such a cruel scene when she just came here.
What's going on here, and why is everything burning?
Princess Lan Lun looked at everything in front of her, and her heart was full of questions.
