"What's wrong?" Li Muge noticed something was amiss when she saw Mo Yan's serious expression.
“The paintings on this wall look so familiar,” Mo Yan couldn’t help but say, and Li Muge listened.
He simply gathered flames in his palm and used them as a light source.
Mo Yan carefully examined the murals, not missing a single detail, and Li Muge also observed the murals on the wall with him.
The alternate personality was completely speechless.
At a time like this, with their lives hanging by a thread, these two still have the leisure to look at the murals.
[Li Muge, stop looking at the painting and call the idiot next to you to leave!]
"Don't make a sound." Li Muge spoke without thinking. Meeting Mo Yan's questioning gaze, she said awkwardly, "Don't misunderstand, I just have some tinnitus."
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan lowered his head and continued to examine the mural.
The murals are in the style of Dunhuang.
It tells the story of the development of Buddhism.
The mural depicts the Buddha Shakyamuni descending to the mortal world out of compassion for all beings, with the intention of saving them all.
Little did he expect that this journey in the human world would lead him to the love of his life.
The woman the Buddha fell in love with was Ye Luo, the war god of the human world at that time.
She was kind, righteous, and always protected the order of the world.
Unfortunately, the Buddha had feelings for Ye Luo, but Ye Luo was always engrossed in cultivation or worldly affairs and never considered matters of the heart.
Therefore, he rejected Buddha.
But Shakyamuni was not discouraged. Instead, he began to stay by Ye Luo's side and cultivate with her.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long.
The great war between immortals and demons is about to break out.
War ravaged the world.
As the God of War among humans, Ye Luo's primary responsibility is to protect the people from the harm of war.
Who knew that at this moment...
Ye Luo's enemies, seeking revenge against him, took this opportunity to target Ye Luo's family.
Ye Luo's family was trapped in their home by their enemies in the middle of the night and burned alive.
The mural that Li Muge touched depicted the God of War Ye Luo desperately rushing home!
But it was too late; her home was reduced to ruins, and her entire family was buried inside.
The God of War, clad in armor and looking disheveled, knelt on the ground in grief before his now ruined home, a single tear etched onto his cheek.
Meanwhile, Buddha Shakyamuni stood not far away, holding prayer beads, silently protecting the God of War.
The death of her family made Ye Luo even more disgusted with the war between the immortal and demon realms. She burned all her cultivation and life force to create a barrier, separating the immortal realm from the demon race.
From then on, peace returned to the world, and there were no more devastating wars.
Tens of thousands of years ago, people built statues and temples for Ye Luo out of gratitude.
The Buddha Shakyamuni remained at the temple in Yelu as an ordinary abbot.
As time went by, humanity began to forget the God of War Ye Luo and started to worship other immortals.
The Buddha Shakyamuni also disappeared without a trace.
After Li Muge finished looking at these murals, especially the scene where the War God Ye Luo's family was burned to death, a tear uncontrollably rolled down her cheek.
"Mo Yan, do you think the Goddess of War, Ye Luo, protected so many people but failed to protect her own family? Will they blame her?"
Li Muge didn't know why, but she just wanted to ask this question.
Mo Yan pondered for a moment: "Perhaps, people's hearts are always different."
“But Li Muge saw that the mural recorded that Ye Luo later avenged his family.”
Li Muge muttered to herself, "But what's the use? Her family is dead, and she's all alone in this world."
She raised her hand and frowned. The mural depicted a house that had been burned to ashes, and some memories inexplicably surfaced in her mind.
"Sister, play Cuju with me."
A little boy hugged a woman dressed in armor. The woman knelt down and, in a gentle voice, promised the little boy that she would play Cuju (ancient Chinese football) with him when she returned.
In the hallucination, Li Muge couldn't see the two people's faces clearly; she only felt a sharp pain in her head.
She supported her head with her hands, pressing down on her scalp.
Mo Yan noticed that something was wrong with Li Muge and immediately stepped forward to support her: "Li Muge, what's wrong?"
"I, I'm fine, it's just that there are so many things that I feel like I've forgotten them."
Mo Yan suddenly wrapped his arms around Li Muge's waist, picked her up, and used magic to leave the place.
Behind them, the figures depicted in the murals were eerily glowing.
The curse on Cui Mingzhu is getting worse and worse.
She vomits everything she eats.
In just three days, she had become skin and bones, which made Qiongqi feel sorry for her and wish he could slap the ghost baby on Cui Mingzhu to death.
But he was afraid of hurting Cui Mingzhu.
"Boss lady, please drink some more medicine!"
“Okay.” Cui Mingjie refused Qiongqi’s help and sat up in bed.
"Thank you, Erniu."
"It's alright, ma'am, you don't need to be so polite to me." Qiongqi smiled sheepishly.
If you saw it, you would never believe that the ferocious beast Qiongqi, which has been feared throughout history, would be so considerate to an ordinary human woman.
When Li Muge returned to the embroidery workshop, her headache had almost completely subsided.
She was slightly surprised when she saw Cui Mingzhu's appearance; how could Cui Mingzhu have become so thin in just a few days?
It seems the ghost baby sensed the mother's death, which is why it tormented Cui Mingzhu even more.
Qiongqi was so anxious that it was almost kneeling down before the two of them.
"What should we do? I beg you, please find a way to save Mingzhu!"
Mo Yan lowered his eyes: "There is a way to save Cui Mingzhu, but it depends on whether you, Qiongqi, are willing to sacrifice yourself."
Qiongqi replied almost without hesitation, "I'm willing."
