What the hell are you trying to tell me?"

After staying away from the Imperial Army camp, Leng Ruoshuang asked Midnight.

Ling Ye looked at her and said slowly: "First sentence, you should bring a change of clothes and dry food and water." The road is very long, and it may not be possible to reach it in ten days and a half months. ”

Leng Ruoshuang frowned: "Where is it so far, why do you want to go so far?"

Ling Ye said: "Your birthplace, your hometown, the resting place of your family and clansmen. It's really far from here. ”

The look on Leng Ruoshuang's face showed that she still didn't believe it: "You...... Why do you know? Even my stepfather doesn't know!"

Ling Ye said lightly: "It's not that he doesn't know, but it's impossible to tell you, at least for now." ”

"Why?"

Ling Ye was silent for a while, and then replied, "If I tell you the reason here, not only will you not believe it, but you will also fight with me." Why bother?"

"But how can I know that what you say must be true?"

"Just because you won't believe it for a while, I want to save some effort. ”

Ling Ye finished speaking lightly, and said, "When you get there, I believe you will understand many things, including whether I am lying to you." ”

Leng Ruoshuang's face showed hesitation: "Midnight, I'...... I can't be sure. I know you're a very reliable man, but my father-in-law is also a very honest man......"

Ling Ye shook his head: "So you should go to your hometown to have a look." Words are unfounded, but seeing is believing. ”

Que Wan'er on the side interjected with a smile and said, "Miss Leng, you don't have to worry that we are deliberately luring you out, so that you can't go into battle to kill the enemy." If that's the case, we're the ones who suffer. Midnight has grown by leaps and bounds now, and I think you already know that. ”

Leng Ruoshuang lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said, "Okay! And I don't really want to stay in the camp these days, just to avoid some people and things. It's just that I'm a little strange, why do you say that?"

Ling Ye said slowly: "This is the second sentence I want to tell you. I am a member of the Holy Capital, and in order to defend the Holy Capital, I must fight against the Imperial Army. I don't want us to face each other on the battlefield. ”

Leng Ruoshuang breathed a sigh of relief: "I see." You don't have to worry about this, although I followed my father-in-law south, I didn't actually go into battle and won't fight with you head-on. ”

Ling Ye said, "Okay." Then this can be done first, and what happens next, let's see what happens next!"

Leng Ruoshuang nodded and looked around: "I came out in a hurry, and I didn't bring any luggage, dry food or anything like that." There doesn't seem to be much to buy around here......"

Ling Ye said lightly: "I'm sorry for this." Due to the southward movement of the Imperial Army, the people in this vicinity basically either resolutely joined the army to defend the Holy Capital, or fled, and there was wolf smoke and death everywhere. In this case, money can't buy anything. ”

Cold as frost: "...... It's sad to think about!"

Ling Ye nodded silently and said, "This is the scourge of war!" As he spoke, he turned around and said lightly: "Let's pick up Xiao Yao, let's go!"

※※※

Thirteen days later, in the territory of the Holy Capital, Cold Spring Mountain.

Lengquan Mountain is located in the northeast of the holy capital and has a cold climate. Although the Imperial Army was fierce, Cold Spring Mountain was not on the main road, and it was so remote that even woodcutters who went up the mountain to chop wood every day would not come here, so although there were battles everywhere, it was still snow-white and quiet.

Ling Ye rode up to a cliff, stood up on the horse and looked down at the snow-covered deserted village below, and sighed slightly: "It's a quiet place, almost a paradise. If it weren't for this war, winter would be a beautiful place here. ”

Leng Ruoshuang looked at it silently, sighed, and turned away.

Ling Ye didn't say anything more, opened the road immediately, and slowly walked down the cliff, towards the village buried by snow at the bottom of the mountain.

Leng Ruoshuang followed behind, staring at the deserted village in amazement: "It seems to be really familiar... It's weird..."

Ling Ye, who was walking in front, said without looking back: "It's not strange to you. You were born here, this is where you come from!"

Leng Ruoshuang obviously believed a little, but she was not completely sure: "Have you been here before?

Ling Ye said lightly: "It's only the first time I've come, just because I know something about it early." ”

Leng Ruoshuang looked at the ruins of the deserted village, and shuddered: "In your holy capital, I have also seen many uninhabited villages during this time, but they were all left behind by the soldiers who caused all the villagers to flee, and I only feel pitiful when I look at it." But here...... I could feel a strange aura, like someone was spinning around me and someone was talking in my ear......"

Ling Ye nodded silently, but didn't say anything.

Leng Ruoshuang asked, "Hey, why don't you speak?"

Ling Ye said lightly: "So that you can hear the voice in your ears clearly." ”

Cold as frost: "......"

From a distance, the deserted village is just a group of stone houses covered in snow, and there are no people. When I got closer, I saw the dead trees in the village, beside the well, under the wall, and in the house...... Everywhere there were human skeletons, large and small, none of them whole, or they were broken in two, either the spine was broken, or the head was separated, and none of the skeletons were whole.

Leng Ruoshuang looked at the skeletons, with a frightened look in her eyes: "I heard it again, someone is really talking in my ear......!

Ling Ye said quietly: "That's specifically asking you, I didn't hear it." Listen to it!"

Leng Ruoshuang reined in his horse, looked around blankly for a while, and suddenly galloped until he reached a dead tree in the middle of the deserted village. There was a stone monument under the tree, which had also been broken and fell to the ground.

Leng Ruoshuang dismounted and stood in front of the stele, his eyes were blank, and he slowly stretched out his hand to touch the stele. Strange to say, as soon as her hand touched the stele, the stele suddenly glowed with fluorescence, just like when she touched the Moon Source Stone before.

Ling Ye and the others didn't want to disturb, so they just stood from a distance and watched. Xiao Yao sighed: "Looking at her appearance, it seems that her ancestral soul is talking to her." Alas, if it weren't for everyone here, I would have been scared to death. Think about it, it's ghosts talking to the living!"

Que Wan'er comforted: "Don't worry blindly. It was the ghost of her ancestors, and she was only talking to her to confirm her identity, and perhaps to confess some unfinished business, such as revenge. The ancestors will not harm her, and we will accompany her here as her friends, and we will not be driven away or anything. Rest assured!"
