Chapter 538 Lights Out

The Taoist priest was not allowed to say that the Elephant Tomb was a good place and very suitable for Yun Chen.

Elephants are huge, beautiful and affectionate beasts. They are loyal, brave and have the same loyalty as humans, but without the human shortcomings of selfishness, greed and cunning.

After dedicating its entire life to the elephant clan, when this giant senses that its life is coming to an end, it will be guided by fate to come to this elephant cemetery in the wilderness, where it will lie down quietly and calmly welcome the arrival of death.

Looking at the endless vast black soil in front of me, it was covered with white elephant skeletons of various shapes.

Some still stood, but many more had collapsed and decayed into fragments. Bones melted into the black earth, and the air was filled with a strange, faint smell.

The afterglow of the setting sun spreads all over the earth, creating a vast and desolate atmosphere. It also makes the white bones glow with a warm golden glow, which makes people feel respect for life.

Yun Chen tried to take a step, and his feet made a crisp "crunching" sound.

She inexplicably had a particularly solid sense of belonging.

She looked at the Taoist priest Buzhun with tears in her eyes and said to him sincerely:

"Thank you, Master Buzhun, I like this place very much."

The Taoist priest did not joke around as he did in the past few days. He pulled Yan Lang and walked carefully around the area for a hundred feet, and finally chose a place with the softest soil.

Perhaps because there were too many elephant bones deposited there, the broken bones were all mixed in with the soil and had turned into thick white mud.

Yanlang ordered the guards to start digging the grave.

The guards looked at Yun Chen, the beautiful woman who had been traveling with them for dozens of days, often joking and talking with them, and who, even when she was sick, never forgot to order more clothes and food for the guards along the way.

She was shaky just standing there, very reluctantly.

The guards suppressed their grief and swung their shovels vigorously to dig the soil.

They hoped to dig faster so that Yun Chen could lie down and rest soon.

I also hope to dig slower, so that Yun Chen can stay in this world longer.

What a pity, it was such a small hole and it was dug up so quickly.

Yun Chen slowly walked to the side of the pit and climbed down using his hands and feet in a somewhat awkward manner.

No one around had the heart to come forward to help.

"Do you want to eat something and take a rest? Maybe it will take a few days..." Yan Lang said with a trembling voice, and couldn't continue.

Wait a few more days and let Yun Chen endure severe pain more than a dozen times, so much pain that his teeth are almost broken?

The Taoist priest was not allowed to sigh to the sky, and he seemed to feel particularly sad.

He looked towards the dusk and counted on his fingers:

"Miss Yun, go ahead. This is a good time. In your next life, you can be reborn as a tree, growing naturally, receiving rain, dew, and sunshine, with birds building nests for you. You won't have to come to the human world and shed tears of sorrow anymore."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the guards around could no longer hold back and began to cry quietly.

Yun Chen's eyes were red and tears were trembling. He waved goodbye to everyone embarrassedly and gently lay down in the soft mud pit.

Everyone was crying and no one came forward to fill the soil.

Finally, Yan Lang walked over and personally sprinkled handfuls of soil on Yun Chen.

The white dust and mud slowly covered her calves, waist, abdomen, body, and chin...

She suddenly felt calm and even expectant.

It feels as if the whole body is merging into one with the earth.

She closed her eyes, and the past surged back like a tide.

All the people and things she loved appeared before her eyes, slowly flashing by one after another. The smiling faces were so close, so close that it seemed as if she could keep someone if she just reached out and grabbed him.

She felt drowsy and an unprecedented fatigue came over her.

When her consciousness was shaky, the last thing that appeared before her eyes was the starry night sky, and him riding on a horse with a handsome appearance, smiling and calling her "Yun Chen".

"Go home, my fields are about to be overgrown with weeds, why don't you go home——"

"Return home——Haha, you sing so well——"

She really wanted to hum a few lines along with her old self, but unfortunately, she could hardly make a sound. She couldn't even reach out and touch his face in her memory.

"Tell Ah Nian that I forgive him."

She said the last sentence with all her strength, then dropped her arms and remained motionless.

Yan Lang finally broke down completely, slowly fell to his knees, and burst into tears:

"Oh my God, why do you treat me like this... I just happened to come at a time when spring is not here... I just happened to come at a time when spring is not here!!!"
