White flower corpse pile
"Ah Li...you still owe me an answer." He asked cautiously and weakly, and then hurriedly added: "If you can't make up your mind right now, you can go back and think about it for a few days and give me an answer."
Following his humble words, Yuanli's mind immediately flashed back to what he said in the illusion of Guanshan Town:
I've discarded all my concerns and opportunities. Once you've seen the illusion of Guanshan Town, I'll take you back to see all the stories in my treasured paintings. I'll reveal all the hidden truths. If you knew everything, and your greatest desire was still to become Cha Suxun's first wife, I'd add to your dowry, escort you to your wedding in my phoenix form, and never again mention our past, never transgressing the rules.
"I'll take you out first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Heng Jin immediately took her away from the landscape carved glass incense burner.
For the first time ever, he started to chase the guest away, "We still have to go to Floating Butterfly City, you should go back and rest."
"Heng Jin, there's no point in running away. Don't hesitate, I can give you an answer right now. I choose Cha Suxun. I'm a common man who loves money. If you're willing to add to the dowry, then I'll take it all. But there's no need for a wedding or wedding ceremony."
Tears soaked her eyes. Heng Jin tried hard to hold back her tears and looked at the indifferent Yuanli. She wanted to say something but stopped herself several times. When she opened her mouth, her lips couldn't stop trembling. Once two lines of tears fell, she could no longer control her emotions.
"W-why?"
"Emperor Hengjin's use of his original form to escort the bride to the wedding would be a supreme honor to others, but to Ah Cha, it would only be a nuisance. Besides, I was originally just a useless will-o'-the-wisp, and only because of the Emperor's grace was I deified and granted a palace. I've already been talked about, so please stop adding to the insults."
"I'm not asking that. I'm asking, why do you not want me anymore? Ah Li, you blame me after all, right?"
"Why would I blame you? The resentment from the previous life was ended at the end of life, so why has it continued until now? I don't have Li Wan's memories, so I can't answer whether Li Wan blames you or not."
Yuanli thought for a moment, then adopted a cold and ruthless tone, saying, "Your tears might pain Li Wan, who loves you deeply, but not me. Have you had enough of this? Can you let me go? As a god, you shouldn't be obsessed with love."
After saying that, Yuanli immediately left his bedroom. The moment she closed the door, she paused unconsciously. Through the door, his crying became clearer and clearer inside the bedroom.
The misunderstanding about why she didn't like him was resolved. Looking at it, even if her heart was as hard as a rock, it should have reacted.
She felt bad, but this relationship that was going nowhere should have been allowed to drag on. If she was more ruthless, maybe he would be able to get over it faster.
The content displayed in the memory scroll is too long, and several days have passed in heaven.
Yuanli first went to the underworld to check the lifespan of Chi Xun in the Yin and Yang Volumes. His lifespan had changed again, and he only had ten days left. The cause of death was depression caused by missing someone.
After ten days, she could not wait any longer, so she had to ask Abang Ayi about the location of Fudie City. Then she returned to Xingjun Mansion, brought Jiuwei Xiaobai and even Changlian with her, and immediately set off for Fudie City.
According to Ai, Fudie City is located in a remote place near the wilderness. It is a green city surrounded by dry desert.
The original forms of Jiuwei, Xiaobai, and Chuanlian are all easy to recognize, and it would be inappropriate to choose any of them as a mount as it would easily alert the enemy. So Ari just took them and flew forward on the wind.
It took a whole day, until nightfall, to reach the desert border that Ai mentioned.
In the desert at night, the stars are like sparkling gems scattered across the sky, and the bright moon shines silvery light on the earth. It is beautiful, but also dangerous.
This place is deserted and without any living creatures. It is silent and desolate. From time to time, a tornado would blow through, carrying sand, tree stumps and dead branches and smashing into a certain place, scattering the ground all over.
They flew in the boundless desert for a long time until they saw a patch of vegetation dotted with white flowers blooming in large patches. Only then did Yuanli and the others land.
When it landed, I approached carefully to take a closer look, only to find that underneath the white flowers and green vines were white bones.
Take the one at Yuanli's feet for example. Vibrant white flowers and green vines are wrapped around a pure white skull. Two small white flowers bloom right in the center of the eye sockets. They are just the right size, and coincidentally look like the eyes of the skull.
The skull was very clean and complete, as if it was from someone who had died recently. The exposed skull had not been eroded by wind, rain or sand.
Looking up at the white flowers in the distance, the sizes of the flowers and the thickness of the green vines are all different. The largest ones are those in the center of the sand dune slope. The petals are one meter long and the green vines are as thick as thighs.
These small white flowers are exactly the same as the white flowers blooming in the coffin in the illusion of Guanshan Town. They are also the only small white flowers that have not withered in the place where the ghost boy passed by.
Naturally, the white bones and skeletons hidden under these white flowers and tender leaves must have been sucked away by the ghost boy for greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, and desire.
Yuanli gathered up 10% of her strength and sent out a gust of palm wind towards the white flowers. Wherever the palm wind passed, the branches of the flowers swayed. It was not like the illusion in Guanshan Town, where a black civet cat jumped into a coffin covered with blooming white flowers. Wherever the palm wind passed, the glowing light like fireflies appeared under the flowers.
There were newly dead skeletons, but not a single luminescent light.
Yuanli took out three long incense sticks and a pair of candles from the Lingbao silver bell. She first lit the pair of candles and inserted them in front of the newly dead skull. Then she lit the three long incense sticks, held them in her hands, nodded and bowed three times.
The wisps of smoke from the burning long incense merged into one stream and slowly floated into the gaps in the skull, leaving the white smoke and filling the interior of the skull.
Insert three long incense sticks in the middle of a pair of incense candles, and the smoke will return to normal and split into three strands floating up into the sky.
As Yuanli whispered three soul-calling words, the white smoke inside the skull quickly turned into a red mist from the inside out, floating out from the eye sockets and mouth towards the sky, condensing into a thin human figure, with facial features gradually visible, toes pointing to the ground, one foot away from the top of the skull, like a ghost.
The human-shaped smoke was so broken that it was almost shapeless. There were holes of various sizes all over its body, especially in its abdomen. The holes were as big as from the lower abdomen to the stomach.
The white smoke emitted by Changxiang filled his broken human form. His dull expression seemed to have regained consciousness, and his eyes gradually showed fear and terror. His wide-open eyes stared straight ahead, behind Yuanli, and he kept taking small steps backward.
The direction of the smoke was no longer fixed, it drifted everywhere and merged into everything the owner of the skull had seen in his lifetime.
With the reference and comparison, it can be clearly seen that the white flowers formed by the smoke are obviously much smaller than the white flowers that Yuanli and others see with their naked eyes, and the small white flowers have not yet bloomed in many places.
It can be seen how fast the flowers grow, and how much greed, anger, ignorance, resentment, and desire are available for absorption in the pile of corpses here.
A monster claw formed by the fusion of smoke quickly passed through Yuanli's body.
The claws resembled human hands, slightly thicker, but the nails were exceptionally sharp and slender, and the entire arm was covered with raised pustules and flesh balls.
Immediately afterwards, the entire monster's body was condensed from white smoke and appeared before their eyes.
This monster was simply a person covered with pus-filled balls of flesh all over his body. He had no hair and his face could not be seen clearly. He should be a man, tall and sturdy, with an unusually strong body.
The monster man stretched out his sharp claws and pierced the abdomen of the owner of the skull.
The sharp claws twisted around in its abdomen, and the wound was torn from the size of a fist into a wound from the lower abdomen to the stomach. Many pieces of flesh and internal organs that were torn and torn fell to the ground along the broken wound.
The victim's owner of the skull died before he could react.
Because the fatal injury came too quickly, the body and brain had not yet reacted to death, and the corpse's hands and feet were still flailing around in struggle.
The monster's hands rummaged around in the victim's abdomen for a long time before finally pulling it out of the victim's body.
I saw a complete heart lying in his palm.
Thick blood simulated by white smoke dripped from his fingers and palms, hitting the petals of the small white flowers blooming beside his feet.
The victim's body did not fall to the ground, but stood upright.
The monster looked at the human heart in his hand and smiled. The upturned corners of his mouth pulled and tore his cheek, splitting it straight to near his ear.
He opened his mouth and ate the heart he had just taken out. He also greedily licked all the blood on his hands before turning his gaze back to the victim.
He raised his right hand and tapped the victim's forehead condescendingly. In an instant, the standing corpse fell straight down.
As he fell, the skin and flesh on the victim's body instantly fell off, and when he fell to the ground, only a skeleton was left.
The monster did not leave. He opened his arms and kept muttering a long sentence to himself.
The flowers swayed in the strong wind, and countless small white dots made of smoke floated up from the flowers.
The monster retracted his arms and used his sharp claws to cut open his abdomen. He continued to mutter to himself as small white dots began to fly into his abdomen.
After all the little white dots flew in, the monster let go and flew away in the direction of the sea of flowers.
At this point, the condensed white smoke dissipated and disappeared, and the incense and candles broke and went out.
Yuanli explained to the three puzzled people beside her, "This is the method of using incense to interrogate the bones. Once the method is successful, the smoke will show the moment of the bone owner's death, just like what happened just now. If the deceased's soul is intact and has not yet been reincarnated into the underworld, the incense and candles will not break or go out."
Jiuwei said, "In other words, his soul has been scattered? The souls of mortals always return to the underworld. Who is so bold as to dare to do such a thing... Is it related to the place we are going this time, Master?"
After sitting down to rest, Yuanli told them the general situation.
After hearing this, Kyuubi's expression became grim and ugly.
"Master, you can leave the matter you need to investigate to us. Your divine power is low now, so it's best not to go to the territory of those rotten moths. They are very dangerous and extremely insane. It is impossible to communicate with them with normal human thinking."
"Rotten moths? Kyuubi, what do you know about them?"
Jiuwei talked about her relationship with the Psylocke tribe:
One day about 20,000 years ago, she secretly helped Heqi to hunt down a big demon who had followed Xieyuan and committed many evil deeds, and chased him to this desert.
At that time, there was no such sea of white flowers here.
The big demon was a mole that was good at earth escape. When it escaped to this desolate desert, it hid very deep underground and only fled under the desert. The tunnel it dug would soon collapse, covering up most of its breath.
It was a bit difficult for Jiuwei to catch the monster, so she simply floated in the air. As long as she heard the slightest movement, she would use all her strength to strike. Within three palms, the seriously injured mole monster was blown off the ground.
Since he was dead, Kyuubi didn't rush to attack again.
Who would have thought that a beautifully patterned butterfly would fly out of nowhere and transform into a gentle and beautiful girl.
She took off her green cloak, turned it over, revealing the side with densely patterned lining facing up, and then put the cloak on the seriously injured mole demon. The half-dead mole demon immediately regained some mental strength.
Psylocke tearfully accused Ninetales of being a demon who killed people without blinking an eye. Ninetales patiently and politely explained that he was a serious criminal captured by the demon world and should be killed on the spot once caught. Not only did she not believe it, she also called Ninetales a liar who talked nonsense.
Kyuubi was so angry that he laughed speechlessly.
A bunch of Psylocke flew out from behind the sand dunes. Nine Tails quickly teleported to grab them, but was still surrounded.
These psyllable butterflies were madly hitting her, and the powder that fell off from the flapping of their wings fell on her, making her whole body itchy and stinging so much that she couldn't open her eyes.
With so many psyllies, she didn't dare to kill them all, as that meant hundreds of lives were at stake.
She had no choice but to let the Psylockes rescue the Diglett so that she could track them down and see what they were trying to do.
After the swarm of Psylocke butterflies dispersed, Nine Tails cast a spell to completely remove the powder from his body.
Calculating the time, it seemed that Psylocke had returned to its nest. Nine-Tailed Fox tracked the unique smell on the mole monster and found the nest of the Psylocke tribe.
They all squeezed into three wooden houses in their original form of Psylocke, and the great mole demon was tied up like a silkworm cocoon by them with strips of cloth covered with strange characters.
That cloak is still worn by the mole demon.
The hem of his cloak fluttered in the wind, and the characters on it were clearer than when the Psylocke woman was holding him.
Jiuwei remembered that these characters were created by the group of spirit butterflies on Mount Daimu.
As for why she had such a deep memory of him, it was because there was a girl named Cai Dai in the Lingdie tribe who particularly liked Xiang Yao and had pursued him madly for a period of time. Cai Dai firmly regarded Jiuwei as a love rival and was full of malice towards her. She even challenged her to a fight.
The battle post was filled with these characters, which Jiuwei couldn't understand at all, so naturally, he didn't go to the place Caidai wrote to meet.
From then on, Caidai became even more hopelessly convinced that Jiuwei liked Xiangyao.
Later, Jiuwei went to find Xiangyao for Liwan's matter and was seen by Caidai.
This was the first time they met.
Cai Dai didn't give any explanation and went crazy, throwing talisman water at Jiuwei.
