Chapter 245: Night Talk (I)
I saw that the mountain in front of me seemed to be devastated, sinking to the ground, and it was razed to the ground in an instant.
Before I could say anything in amazement, I saw a green flower growing on the flat ground!
The dark green leaves and pale green flower bones are dotted with stars, like a shy and silent starry sky.
The fragrant and elegant breath enveloped the nasal cavity, as if a piece of silky satin slowly swept over the face, and I forgot where I was for a while.
The sound of sobbing in my ears was intermittent, and I turned my head to see that the barren tree's face had changed drastically, staring at the flowers in front of him, and sobbing silently.
This...... But a spell can have such a magical phenomenon?
“...... Chase my heart, tell me how to give up your ......" The barren tree ignored me, stepped forward to take care of himself, walked to the flower, leaned over, plucked a pale green flower, pinned it to his ear, and said softly: "I know it's you, only you know that I love this little pale green jasmine the most...... Thank you, the years with you were the most beautiful time of my life, and I don't regret it......."
Countless pale green jasmine flowers, as if they understood her words, bloomed and swayed in front of her, making a rustling sound, as if whispering to her.
The fragrance of flowers is like transparent clouds swept by the wind, soaking towards me. I was immersed in the fragrance of flowers, and my heart was so still that I couldn't move.
“...... If there is an afterlife, we will no longer be the Witch Shadow Clan, just two flowers in this field, which bloom in the morning and fail at night, you accompany me, I accompany you, and we are already satisfied......" The voice of the barren tree gradually lowered, and the large green flower in front of her was like a flowing cloud, gradually dissipating without a trace, and finally, only the one on her sideburns remained.
It turned out that the so-called "high-level mantra" I recited was a farewell to the barren tree.
After saying goodbye to your beloved, the soul can be quiet, and the living will have the courage to move on.
"Let's go. Araki returned to me and whispered.
I looked at the little pale green jasmine flower on her sideburns, and reflected her whole face in a bright and moving way, and sighed in my heart, unable to speak, but nodded in agreement.
She was more familiar with this Huangqiang Castle than me, and I followed her, and the two of them quickened their pace, saying nothing all the way.
"Stop. Araki whispered suddenly.
I stopped. Not far in front of us was a castle-like building, and according to the footsteps, we were far from the rocky mountain - I didn't expect this Yellow Fortress to occupy such a large area!
"What's wrong?" I asked in a low voice.
"This is where the Yellow Qiang Fort is sealed, and I can't get through the envelope and enter the fort on weekdays, so why was the envelope removed today?" said Araki, leaning forward.
"Sure enough, there were no obstacles. Araki gasped in surprise.
"That's not good, let's get into the fort quickly. I whispered.
"Yes. The barren tree replied: "On weekdays, there is silence in the Yellow Qiang Fort, and today the seal is removed, and the castle looks even more lifeless and lifeless, I am afraid that there is something strange in the fort." ”
"What are you afraid of him doing?" I whispered, "Tell me the invisibility spell, let's go in stealth, check it out, and then move again." ”
"Yes. "The barren tree whispered in my ear.
"When you encounter a situation, don't be in a hurry to show up, it's important to protect yourself. Finally, Araki asked.
I nodded and said the incantation.
Under the dark dome, the two of us disappeared, hearing only the sound of soft breathing and rustling footsteps.
There is also a faint scent of jasmine.
I wanted to remind Araki to pluck the flowers and hide them in her arms, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say anything.
The Yellow Castle was getting closer and closer, and we finally stood in front of the castle.
The gloomy castle seemed to fall into a deep sleep, and no movement could be heard.
Ever since the algae green robe of Chasing Heart was worn on me and turned into skin, my senses of hearing, sight, and touch have become extremely sensitive, and my perception of darkness has also increased, and I can sense the approach of danger, such as at this moment, my heart begins to beat uncontrollably, and I panic uncontrollably—
- Huangqiang Fort, this is a dangerous place.
The barren tree next to me patted me gently.
I looked up and saw that at the top of the dark and tall castle, in a narrow window, there was a light shining through at some point.
"I tried my hand and climbed up the façade. I whispered to Araki.
"You, is that okay?" Araki asked with concern, "Maybe I'm overthinking." I can't do it, I'm very familiar with this fort, I go up from the inside, and it's good to be inside and outside. ”
"Okay, remember, we have two purposes, one is to find out the secret of Jicheng's resurrection, and the other is to retrieve the piece of clothing in Guan Feng's hand, and the rest, let's not make any extraneous branches first. "I'll give you an account of the barren trees.
"Yes. The barren tree agreed. I heard her footsteps creep away.
I took a deep breath, if Jicheng really had a hard time as he said, and he didn't even meet and explain to the baraki, then I could only find the answer. Find the answer, find the piece of clothing that chases your heart, and then find a way to leave the underground world of the blood clan and return to the world to join your brother and them. Alas, I don't know where they are now, I don't know what the situation is with the forgetfulness of the words—he, he will be fine, I will not allow him to have anything! I'll solve the problem at hand, and I'll meet you.
Okay, focus, good intentions, go find out!
I jumped up and climbed the outer wall of the Yellow Fort, and as I wished, my hands were like two steel tongs, clinging to the wall.
I adjusted my breath and slowly climbed up.
In the middle of the line, I stopped, took a breath, pricked up my ears, and listened to the movement.
Suddenly, a soft footstep landed beside me, followed by a faint scent of jasmine.
It's an Arwild Tree!
"What's the matter, have you made any discoveries?, or is the fort inaccessible? This wall is steep, you have to be careful!" I whispered.
The barren tree touched my arm in response, and was very alert and did not make a sound.
With the barren tree as my companion, I picked up my spirits again and climbed up. Araki gasped softly and followed me.
The closer I got to the top of the fort, the heavier my heart sank, because—I had lost my purpose, and the narrow window on the top of the fort that I had just seen from the ground was invisible!
How so?
Could it be a trick?
The barren tree beside him gasped and didn't speak. I guess I'm waiting for my instructions.
This Yellow Castle is even stranger and weirder than I thought.
I clinged to the outer wall, closed my eyes, and calmed down.
I know that no matter how powerful the trick is, what can be covered and changed is only what is seen in front of you, and the sound and noise cannot be concealed.
The death-like silence of the Bloodline's underground world. The death-like silence of the Yellow Fortress. But the gloomy wind was alive, though with a faint smell of fish, and the smell of some kind of animal wafting from an unknown corner (the legendary blood wolf?). The earnest and noisy words that lurked in the living wind were like shells on the shore that had receded from the tide, faintly glowing in the moonlight.
I heard, heard someone behind a window talking in private.
"This way. I whispered to the barren tree, tugged at her arm, and climbed to a window not far away.
Crawled closer.
The uncanny light reappeared—as if I had already spotted my target and the other person had nowhere to hide, so I simply showed up.
I and the barren trees behind me hid towards our goal.
A narrow vertical window, with a hairy carved glass, looked bright and mellow inside, but I couldn't see anything clearly, but fortunately the window opened a slight slit, I leaned closer, and my eyes were glued up.
With limited vision, I couldn't see the whole room, but I could see a small round platform made of bamboo in the middle of the room, and a woman was sitting with her back to the window, one arm propped up on the round platform, and her hand against her head. Judging from the back, the woman was dressed in a crimson gown, her hair was hanging low, and her figure was very slender.
"I am indifferent to you, how can I blame me?" the woman complained.
As soon as she opened her mouth, I knew who she was - she was the lady of Huangqiang Castle, Cutting Snow!
In the middle of the night, she sat alone on the top of the fort, not wearing a yellow shirt, but wearing a scarlet shirt, talking to herself, what is she doing?
I heard her continue to mutter: "No one has ever loved me, I don't know what 'love' is, how do I know how to love others? As for Guan Feng's scumbag......
I felt the trees around me shudder suddenly. I gave her a free hand and patted her gently.
“...... There is no more person in this world who is more greedy to take and give nothing! My whole life is buried by his side! I confess...... I compare myself with him with murderous, descriptive, and unlimited, because he is a devil at all, and I am by the devil's side, and what choice can I have but to sink with him! Anyway, we are a pair of vampires, drunk and dreaming, shameless, and endless, it is better than being calm and sober, and life is worse than death......! Until...... That night, by the devil's hand, I went into the room where you cut yourself...... You lie alone on the ground, no one paying attention to you or caring about you, and the sharp blade that you have plunged into your chest is still standing in your chest...... I must have been evil, I actually bent down to see your face......" Jian Xue's voice changed, sounding suppressed and excited, slightly hoarse, no longer her usual cold and snarky, emotionless tone.
"My face, what's wrong?" suddenly a voice rang out in the room—a voice that couldn't be more familiar!
A yellow-clad figure flashed into my sight, and as he spoke, he turned his face to the seated Shearsnow, facing the direction of the window.
I thought to myself, "Oops!" and I couldn't control my hands and feet, and my body fell towards the castle.
Because, that person turned out to be - Jicheng.
