Concubine Chongxi: Binding the Medicine Jar to the Master

Chapter 297 Set foot on the homeland of Penglai
On the tenth day of September, Zhu Feihong bid farewell to several people in Phoenix Valley, and left Zhou Guo in a hurry, saying that she was going to Loulan to meet a good friend.

After Zhu Feihong left, Phoenix Valley seemed to be much quieter.Baili Jiuge coaxed Jin'er, and accompanied Yi Fang Sanren to tell him everything he had experienced in Xiqi during this period.Yi Fang Sanren was still playing chess intently, as if he didn't listen carefully, and only occasionally said a word or two to comfort Baili Jiuge.

She laughed: "Before, people always said that Mo Li was a chess idiot. I think Master is a well-deserved chess idiot. Mo Li doesn't play chess very much on weekdays."

Yi Fang Sanren snorted in an indifferent way: "The old man's chessboard is in his hand, and the son-in-law's chessboard is in his heart. Why can't you even see this?"

Baili Jiuge replied indifferently: "Okay, then I know now."

Because the weather is good today, the one-eyed old monster has checked the almanac again, and it is suitable to travel. Therefore, when the sun rises and the weather becomes warmer, Baili Jiuge, accompanied by Duan Yao and Gu Yan, set off for the former site of Penglai Kingdom on the east coast.

Kunshan Xuehuang has been in the Phoenix Valley for a long time, and she is already tired. This trip, she seems to be in a good mood.Gu Yan and Yan'er seldom stayed in Phoenix Valley, Gu Yan sat on Yan'er's back, his long hair was blown behind his head by the wind.

Baili Jiuge hugged her skirt warmly, looked up, and saw Duan Yao standing there alone, her wind-soaked skirt fell down and down, intertwined with blue silk, her back was a bit unreal.

Baili Jiuge couldn't help calling in a low voice: "Madam Si Ming..."

Duan Yao chuckled, and said with an amiable smile: "I'm timid when I'm close to my hometown."

Baili Jiuge nodded, he must be the same too, he is timid because of his closeness to his hometown.Although when she was born, her hometown had already been turned into scorched earth, but it was after all a place where a bloodline took root and sprouted. She could fully understand this complicated feeling.

It's a long way to go to the east coast, because Baili Jiuge's body is still a little weak, and Jin'er is a baby, so the three of them didn't hurry, and they walked for quite a while after this trip.

Baili Jiuge still remembered that Guyan had told her that it was the Yan State who took the lead and united with the Xiang State and the big merchants to invade Penglai.The big merchants and the state of Hunan burned, killed and looted all the way, and robbed Penglai of treasures, money, and resources, but it was the people of the state of Yan who slaughtered the imperial city.

In the end, Penglai was destroyed, Shang and Xiang took their wealth, and Yan took over the territory.Therefore, at the old site of Penglai today, there must be soldiers from the Kingdom of Yan guarding it.

On September [-], Kunshan Xuehuang and wild geese landed slowly in front of a ruin near the east coast.Baili Jiuge stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and then stepped on the land of his homeland.

It has been 20 years since the country was subjugated, and the dilapidated walls still stand here. There is a little smoke and chaos, and the grass under the broken walls is lingering. From the soil that was once soaked in blood, what is now wafting out is the fragrance of summer flowers.

It can still be vaguely seen from the remaining outlines that this place was originally a pure land like a peach garden, but the vicissitudes of life have changed. Those high walls, sunsets, and bead curtains and lanterns in the past have all been buried in the thick history books along with the destruction of the motherland. middle.

The autumn wind picked up the leaves of a sycamore tree and flew, and landed on the shoulders of Baili Jiuge and Duan Yao.These 20 silent years have pushed the withered phoenix trees into new branches.There are dilapidated palaces in the distance, old and crooked, like pieces of broken monuments, recording a rise and fall.

The wind also sent the misty singing sound from afar.

"The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are there, and the city is full of spring vegetation. I feel the flowers and tears, and I hate the birds and the birds..."

There is a woman singing, it seems to be very far away, but it seems to be very close, vaguely, I can only smell the cold and hopeless singing, like a lament to accuse the sky.

Baili Jiuge's heart trembled.She had heard this voice before!

"Miss Haunting Soul?!" He couldn't help shouting out that name.

She looked in the direction of the singing, squinted her eyes and tried to focus her sight, and then vaguely saw, just beyond the abandoned palace, a figure was dancing on a high platform.

Is that the seductive lady?

Baili Jiuge hurriedly searched for it.

"The country is broken and the mountains and rivers are there, and the city is full of spring vegetation. I feel the flowers and tears, and I hate the birds and the birds..."

The sorrow of millet li, seeing things will hurt the feelings.Flowers are ruthless but have tears, birds have no hatred but are frightened.Every word and every sentence in that singing made Baili Jiuge's heart ache.

She trotted to arrive, only to see on the barren and dilapidated altar, a woman dancing beautifully, with a silent glamor shining in her captivating eyes.

Baili Jiuge's heart was shaken.She has seen Gu Lian's superb and beautiful dance, and Wu Niannian's painstaking dance, but she has never seen a dance with the aura of killing and destruction like the ecstasy lady.

She seems to have poured all her hatred into the dance, bending her waist, raising her sleeves, and turning her eyes, they are all like poisonous poppies, ready to lure people into a situation where there is no redemption.

In the end, she stopped, looked at Baili Jiuge, with a cold smile on her lips, and smiled deeply: "Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want. Heifeng, you too Do you want to revisit the old place?"

Baili Jiuge was stunned, and realized that Lady Hooking must have recorded her appearance in the dark, so she smiled calmly: "I came here by someone's entrustment."

As he said that, he took a look at Duan Yao, only to find that Duan Yao was staring at the soul-hunting lady with a surprised look.

"Madam Si Ming?" Baili Jiuge asked.

Duan Yao came back to her senses, took Baili Jiuge with her, and boarded the dilapidated altar together.Baili Jiuge saw the word "Wuyu" engraved in ancient seal characters on the stone bricks under his feet, and only then did he know that this was the Wuyu platform that Si Long said was the place to sacrifice and pray for rain.

Duan Yao asked: "You... are the seductive lady of Poppy Valley."

The soul-hunting lady responded lightly.

What Duan Yao said next shocked Baili Jiuge.

"Like... Really like, Miss Soul Soul, your appearance is [-]% similar to that of the previous empress."

Baili Jiuge was startled.The appearance is similar to that of the former empress. Could it be that the Huhun lady is a relative of the former empress?
The Hooking Lady was calm, and hummed as if mocking herself: "Really?"

She saw Jin'er in Baili Jiuge's arms, pondered for a moment, and said, "This is your daughter, right? Now that the lineage of saintess has a successor, the souls of the old people can be relieved."

Baili Jiuge patted Jin'er and said sincerely: "Actually, I just want Jin'er to be an ordinary child, and I don't want her to suffer so much. Her future is linked to the future of me and Mo Li... If Si Long is still alive and can undo Mo Li's curse, I don't have to be afraid that Jin'er will not be able to remember Mo Li's appearance when she grows up..."

Duan Yao and Gu Yan felt sour in their hearts.

The soul-hunting lady shrank her pupils, and murmured: "Si Long?"

Baili Jiuge said: "I came here to the East Sea because she asked me to scatter her ashes into the East Sea before she died."

The delicate body of the woman in front of her trembled violently, her eyes suddenly shattered, and sobs escaped from her lips: "Si Long... Aunt Long, Aunt Long?"

Baili Jiuge was startled: "Miss Huhun, what do you call Si Long?"

She eagerly wanted to ask, but the soul-hunting lady seemed to be caught in her own emotions, staggered three steps, and the sycamore leaves swirled down her lapel.

"Auntie Long is still alive. After so many years, it turns out she is still alive..." The soul-hunting lady wept bitterly, "This should be such a joyful thing, but I found out too late, and after all, I couldn't see Auntie Long again. ..."

Baili Jiuge trembled, an unbelievable thought flashed in her mind, she said in shock: "Miss Hooking Soul, are you... Princess Yufeng?"

Due to Baili Jiuge's guess, Duan Yao was also shocked, "Princess Yufeng?" Immediately, she understood something, and smiled wryly: "Yes, she is so similar to the previous empress, and judging by her age, Princess Yufeng is the only one. "

"It turns out that you are still alive." Baili Jiuge only felt the tip of his tongue tingle, and when he said this, his throat was a little choked up.

She looked up and saw the sycamore leaves falling like rain, her eyes were blown by the sour wind so bitterly, "Xia Wuyu, do you know? Si Long still told me about you in tears until she died. She thought you were dead, and you thought she was dead, but the fact is that you all lived in pain with the memory of your family ruined."

Duan Yao couldn't help lamenting, with tears in her eyes.She was the same, thinking that Si Long was no longer alive, and when she learned that her former friend was still alive, their positions became so awkward again.

In the end, she finally saw Si Long again, but what she saw was a handful of ashes lying quietly in that small wooden box...

Baili Jiuge took out the wooden box and handed it to Xia Wuyou.She wanted to speak with a smile, but there was still a wry smile on her lips, "Xia Wuyu, this is Si Long's ashes, she is your master, you are like a mother and daughter, you can fulfill her last wish for me .”

Xia Wuyu took the wooden box tremblingly, and when he held tightly the brown wood that had been simmered by the body temperature of Baili Jiuge, two lines of clear tears flowed from his eyes.

She didn't lose her composure, turned around silently, and walked towards the east seashore.The wind blew her black hair, and twisted it into a bewitching and treacherous posture behind her head, and her mournful singing came from afar.

"Life does not meet each other, it moves like participating in business... Tomorrow is separated by mountains, and the world is boundless..."

It was vaguely a long time ago, Baili Jiuge saw Xia Wuyu standing motionless by the sea, so he walked over.

Si Long's ashes had been scattered into the sea. At this moment, Xia Wuyu was slowly sitting on the rock, looking at the horizon.

Duan Yao carried Jin'er over and gave Baili Jiuge an encouraging look.Baili Jiuge then walked to Xia Wuyuyu's side, also came to the rock, and sat down loudly.

I used to hear Master say that most of the people in the Seven Flowers Valley lived unsatisfactorily in the secular world. They kept their identities incognito and were connected in the same vein.

Baili Jiuge never thought that among Huagu Qisu's sisters, there was someone who was from this hometown just like herself.

The princess of the subjugated country and the saint of the subjugated country, two people who used to be equal, are sitting side by side on the reef looking at the sea at this moment. How has Baili Jiuge ever thought about such a situation?
