Chapter 402 Sakura Tomb

In the carriage, the young girl wrapped herself up.

He shook the cup, and there was a liquid like molten gold inside.

No, this is finance.

"Master Hou, do you know?"

"This bowl of medicine."

"How much gold is needed?"

Yuan Jingnu told a number with great interest.

Even Lu Mingfei raised his eyebrows and looked surprised.

"Actually, this is normal."

"Exercise the power of gods with an incomplete bloodline."

"How can it be possible without paying a huge price?"

Yuan Jingnu took a sip of molten gold.

The posture is as fierce as drinking blood.

"The most charming beauty in this world is strength."

"I would give my life for this."

"As long as I can get a little closer to it, a little further."

As she drank the molten gold, the virgin girl regained her glory, just like an old tree growing new buds. No, it was more magical than this. Time went back and the rotten trees became lush again.

This is the second way Bai Xiaosheng gave Yuan Zhennu.

One is like painting a pear coat, temporarily relieving it, waiting for blood transfusion in the future.

One is like him, who exchanges molten gold for the right to temporarily act on behalf of the god's power. The huge amount of gold disappearing is the second, and the biggest price is life.

Once you embark on this road, your future is already determined. The day you stop taking the medicine is the day you die.

"It's just gold and silver. To me, it's nothing more than an external possession. You are Eri's brother. No matter what, I must save you."

"Oh, what is this?"

"Are you cared about?"

Yuan Zhennu touched her lips with her fingers.

"No need, Lord Marquis."

Lu Mingfei frowned.

"You do not trust me?"

"How dare you, how dare you."

Yuan Zhennu, oh no, he should be Kazama Ruri at this moment.

Kazama Liuli said frivolously, but only he knew whether he was really frivolous or whether he used such a gesture to cover up his true inner feelings.

"Who in the world doesn't know that the champion is true to his words? Since it is the words of the lord, I believe it."

"That person is..."

"tired."

Yuan Zhennu leaned against the carriage lazily.

"tired?"

Lu Mingfei said unexpectedly.

"Master Marquis, it has been ten years since the establishment of Paradise Forest."

"Do you know how much filth I have seen? How much filth?"

"I've seen it a lot, so I just want to think about it."

The young girl raised her hand softly and put it in front of her eyes to look at it carefully.

"What is the difference between this person and ordinary cats, dogs and domestic animals?"

After a pause, he said.

"No difference."

"It makes no difference."

"In the final analysis, humans are just domestic animals driven forward by desire."

"That's all."

"so."

He put down his hand, narrowed his eyes and smiled at Lu Mingfei.

Wild and well-behaved.

At this moment, it was like the souls of Kazama Ruri and Yuan Jingnu appeared in his body at the same time.

"I'm tired, Lord Marquis."

Lu Mingfei looked into his eyes. There was no madness, no excitement, no hysteria, just calmness. It reminded Lu Mingfei of the time when he was a recruit cleaning the battlefield. When it got dark, he sat on the small soil dial and was surrounded by people. It's the kind of calm that remains of corpses.

So Lu Mingfei knew that Yuan Zhennu's heart was already dead.

Before, he was like a walking zombie, running the Paradise Forest in order to survive and earn a lot of gold to continue his great power.

I can’t tell what the meaning is, it’s just like inertia, day after day, year after year.

Like a spinning top that can never stop.

And today, after reuniting with Eriki.

This spinning top is finally coming to a stop.

And when this top stops, it is the time of death.

"Master Marquis, if you can, please help me put on my pear clothes."

"Um."

"Thank you very much."

The girl looked relieved.

"It's much lighter."

He said this as if chatting with a long-time friend.

"Tell me, where do people go after they die?"

"Is there really a underworld?"

"I really want to drink Meng Po soup."

"It's tiring to have such a good memory."

"Speaking of which, if there really is a underworld, then there should also be the so-called reincarnation."

"Reincarnation..."

The ending of Yuan Jingnu's voice is very long.

His tone also dropped.

"Master Hou, if there is an afterlife, do you still want to be a human being?"

He laughed uncontrollably and shook his head.

"Oh, I'm so stupid, listen to what you're asking!"

"If a person as powerful as Mr. Hou has an afterlife, then there is no need to think about it. He will definitely continue to be a human being."

"I'm different."

Yuan Zongnu said obediently.

"I don't want to be a human being."

There was a long silence.

No one spoke in the carriage carriage.

"I'm leaving, you have a good rest."

"Um."

Lu Mingfei lifted the curtain, paused, and looked back at him.

"Even if there is an afterlife, I don't want it."

"If you drink Meng Po soup, you will forget the memories of this life."

"It's better to kill Yama and replace him."

The young girl was stunned.

The curtain was lowered, the sound echoed, and the champion was already far away.

Yuan Jingnu suddenly came back to her senses, remembering what the champion Hou said before leaving, she couldn't help shaking her head and laughing.

Sakurai Kogure is ventilating the carriage so that fresh air comes in and exhaust gas goes out.

"Sakurai."

"yes."

Yuan Jingnu chuckled.

"My brother-in-law is really interesting."

"He is worried that after drinking Meng Po soup, he will forget to paint pear clothes."

"It doesn't matter. There are a lot of infatuated people in the world, and he is one of them."

Having said this, Yuan Zhennu shook her head again.

"But there's no one like him."

"I don't want to think about how to hide it from Po Meng and not drink the Po Meng soup."

"But to replace that Yin Tianzi."

"It's really, really..."

It took me a long time and I couldn't come up with a decent word, so in the end the young girl just said something.

"As expected of the champion."

From today on, Yuan Zhennu will live in the Champion House.

After Lu Mingfei sent Yuan Jingnu to Dazhou, he quietly returned to Fusang early the next morning. He was still leading the errands of the garrison and was not allowed to leave his post without permission.

However, these rules are fine for restricting others, but their effect on Lu Mingfei only depends on his mood.

Follow it if you're in the mood, and ignore it if necessary.

Although he misses Da Zhou's wife very much, Fuso Lu Mingfei still has to go back. The cure for the strange disease has not yet been found. After all, this is Eri's hometown, and there may be other ways.

In addition, he also got inspiration from Yuan Zhennu, and released his men to go to the Jianghu to find Bai Xiaosheng all over the world.

It's just that this person has always been mysterious and his whereabouts are unpredictable. It's really difficult to find him for a while.

Before leaving, Lu Mingfei got all the men of Bliss Forest from Yuan Zhennu. This was Fusang's local force, and they were easier to use than the soldiers Lu Mingfei brought.

At that time, Lu Mingfei was a young girl.

"Give me Paradise Forest, what will you do?"

This is how Yuan Zongnu responded.

"What do you need so many people for when you are about to die?"

He smiled.

"Bliss Forest has done a lot of bad things. It would be good for me to be able to help the Marquis before I die."

Lu Mingfei looked at him for a long time, nodded and left.

"correct."

Lu Mingfei asked.

"What do you want to drink? I'll bring you some when I see you after you die."

Yuan Zhennu raised her face and thought.

"The wine is nothing good..."

"That's it."

He said softly to Lu Mingfei.

"If the Marquis doesn't mind the trouble, please plant a cherry tree in front of my grave."

"I miss Sakura."

"Sakura tree?"

Lu Mingfei nodded.

"remember."

However, even though she kept saying that she was going to die, for a while this young girl really couldn't die.

Over the years, Paradise Forest has accumulated a lot of gold. Without the power of the gods, it is enough for him to do many things if he just needs to continue his life.

"Last time we talked about the Paradise Forest..."

Minamoto's young girl was sitting beside Eriki's bed, smiling and telling stories.

The books he listened to and the picture books he read were not as good as Lu Mingfei's.

But this Dragon King of Paradise Forest has a very rich past experience.

Besides, the Paradise Forest is a place that claims to be able to satisfy any of your desires. Stories of joys and sorrows are staged here every moment. The Dragon King on the second floor is holding the railing, smiling and looking at all the things in the world.

Having seen so many real things, there was no need for Yuan Zhennu to make it up. She just thought about it and recalled it for a moment, and immediately a story with ups and downs came out of her mouth. No matter how skillful the storyteller was, she would be amazed.

He seemed to be trying to make up for his years of absence.

As Eri's brother, he can't always be by her side, nor can he protect her.

Yuan Zongnu probably felt very uncomfortable.

I just thought I would accompany Eri Yi.

But I never thought that in the end it would become...

"Is this painted by Eri Yi?"

She nodded.

Seeing this scene, Yuan Zhennu's silent face gradually raised the corners of her mouth.

He looked at the painting in his hand, which was his profile.

There are seventy-eight points of similarity.

So...is this a gift from Eri Yi to him?

Eriyi's health is obviously in such bad shape.

Yuan Zongnu smiled.

"Little Eriyi."

He said deliberately.

"You're really hurting me."

"If the Marquis knew that his beloved wife had painted portraits of other men."

"He will probably chop me to death in anger."

"And it's the kind of thing that's cut into pieces..."

As she spoke, Minamoto Shome burst into laughter. When she looked up, she found worry on Eri's face. Minamoto Shoujo was stunned for a moment and quickly began to explain, saying that he was just joking and could not be taken seriously. Champion How could such a good person like Hou, who knew right from wrong, take action so easily.

After comforting Eri for a while, she finally believed it.

Yuan Zhennu was relieved.

It was really dangerous just now. If Xiao Eliyi really believed it and told the champion, he didn't want to face the champion's questioning.

The rain is hitting the window lattice, I paint pear clothes to look out.

"Want to see it?"

Minamoto opened the window, the spring breeze was warm, and the fresh water vapor filled the air, putting a smile on Eriki's face.

"Spring is here, Eri-chan."

She nodded.

…………

Sakurai Kogure makes medicine for Minamoto Girl.

Gold is getting less and less.

On the bed is a lazy young girl.

He leaned on it, but the blood stained the Supa red, and he threw it aside.

"Sakurai!"

"Sakurai!"

"Sakurai!"

Yuan Jingnu screamed.

Sakurai Kogure dropped the molten gold that was boiling.

She hurried to the bed.

"My lord."

"go!"

Yuan Zhennu lowered her head and pointed her bone-like fingers towards the window.

"Open it for me!"

"Lord, the wind is strong and the rain..."

"I said!"

The young girl gasped.

"Open it for me!"

Sakurai Komu bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then opened the window as instructed.

Wind and rain rushed in all at once.

Yuan Zhennu turned her head and looked out the window.

He quietly looked at the curtain woven by the rain.

There was childlike innocence on his face.

A thunder exploded.

The room was illuminated brightly.

In this intersection of black and white, Yuan Zhennu smiled faintly.

"Sakurai."

"exist."

"Change for me."

Sakurai Kogure trembled.

She still said.

"yes."

The bright red embroidered clothes of the Dragon King.

He changed, turned around, and looked at himself in the bronze mirror.

It's so beautiful.

But he shook his head.

"Next item"

A modest gentleman wears Confucian attire, a long coat with wide sleeves, and every move is in compliance with etiquette.

He took two steps with his hands behind his back, going back and forth, still shaking his head.

"continue."

It was clear that he was running out of gas, and even the basic steps of getting out of bed required Sakurai Kogure's help.

At this moment, Yuan Zhenmei was changing clothes one after another.

He seems to enjoy it and is tireless.

On the side, Sakurai Kogure had a sullen face and a tense expression, so she didn't shed tears.

Yuan Zhennu changed into the Dragon King's purple dress again.

On other people, such clothes would only look gaudy.

But Yuan Zhennu was not abrupt at all.

It's like all the bright and beautiful things in this world should exist for him.

"Sakurai."

He turned around in a circle, his bright smile seemed to be shining.

"Do I look good?"

Sakurai Kogure nodded.

"good-looking."

"That's it."

Yuan Zongnu was finally a little tired.

He was sitting on the ground, his attire spread out like flowers, and three thousand blue silk threads flowing down.

With her hands on the ground behind her back, Yuan Zhennu looked up at the dark sky outside the window.

"This rain is so good, the heaven and earth are washed clean."

"Since I can wash this world, then I should be able to wash it too."

Yuan Jingnu stretched out her hand and caught a drop of rainwater.

He raised his head quietly.

"Sakurai."

"exist."

"I'm tired."

…………

Lu Mingfei rubbed his brows. There was too much and too much information compiled by all parties, but in the end it was related to Eri Yi's strange disease. He couldn't be careless at all, so he went through it all in person. With such a huge workload, even he felt that Mentally and physically exhausted.

"General!"

The soldiers came in a hurry.

"Um?"

Lu Mingfei responded lightly. He didn't care much at first, but after seeing the soldier's expression, his eyes froze.

"What's wrong?"

The soldier pursed his lips.

"Bliss Forest, there's a fire."

Lu Mingfei frowned.

"anything else!"

This time the soldiers hesitated longer.

"Second...Second Prince..."

"The second prince is dead."

Lu Mingfei stood up suddenly and looked in the direction of Dazhou.

"Original girl..."

"died!"

On this page, there was a fire in Paradise Forest for no reason.

The fire was so powerful that it turned half the sky red.

There are also some strange stories circulating.

Some people said with certainty that they saw a woman dancing in the fire.

Some people said it was a man.

There are those who talk about boys and there are those who talk about girls.

What’s even more strange is that the fire in Paradise Forest was so powerful that no one was hurt in the end.

According to a monk who traveled here, no one was harmed because all the karma was shouldered by the benefactor in red.

The fire burned the Paradise Forest to a white ground.

Not even a tile was left.

The wandering monk recited sutras for seven days and nights in the Paradise Forest.

No one saw when he left.

It's just one more strange story that will be talked about by future generations.

What people here don't know is that on the same night, far away in the Zhou Dynasty's Champion House, a man in plain clothes died in the heavy rain.

When Yuan Zhennu left, she changed her clothes all night, but in the end she still wore the same clothes that she wore many years ago. On the day he left Wang Gong, he took off the prince's fine clothes, leaving only the plain clothes.

Lu Mingfei rushed back to Dazhou overnight.

Yuan Zongnu's funeral was kept simple.

There was only an ignorant child left in the Fuso royal family, and Yuan Zhennu had no intention of going back. He left a message, hoping that Lu Mingfei could choose a quieter valley, plant a cherry tree, and bury him.

There were only three people who took him on his last journey.

Sakurai Kogureji Akihi and Eri Yi.

Originally, Lu Mingfei wanted to hide this from his wife. After all, Minamoto was her only remaining blood relative. When he left, it must have been a huge blow to Eriki.

But I never thought that Eli Yi's first words after meeting him were.

"Husband, brother, is he gone?"

Looking at Eli Yi's clear eyes, Lu Mingfei couldn't say a word from the manuscript he had prepared, so he could only nod.

How could he lie to Eriki?

Sakurai Kogure tied a wooden sign to the newly planted cherry tree branch.

It says "Fengjian Liuli".

This seems to be a local custom in Fuso.

"We walked."

"Um."

Lu Mingfei supported Hui Liyi, and Hui Liyi nestled in his arms. They walked a long way, and when they looked back, they saw a new grave, a cherry tree, and a woman on the hillside.

The breeze came slowly, blowing the wooden sign on the cherry tree and blowing the hem of her clothes. It was vaguely like a person in bright red clothes, spinning and dancing.

Since then, there has been a thatched house on the hillside, and a woman who always likes to wear bright clothes lives here alone, day after day, year after year.

Hui Liyi had two lines of clear tears.

She held Lu Mingfei's hand tightly.

"Husband, please don't leave this time, please."

"I don't treat people anymore."

Lu Mingfeixin trembled.

"What a stupid thing to say."

He smiled and smoothed down Eri's long hair.

"I'm still waiting for my wife to recover from her illness, so I can go and see the world."

"Madam, why..."

I can't say anything else.

Eriyi threw herself into his arms.

He hugged Lu Mingfei with all his strength.

Of course it is impossible to write in this posture.

But there is no need to write.

Lu Mingfei could clearly feel his wife's mood from the trembling of Hui Liyi at this moment.

Because of a strange illness, a good young couple spent less time together and more time apart throughout the year.

Eriki didn't say anything, but she must have felt very uncomfortable in her heart.

She had been very sensible before and didn't show it.

But after what happened to Minamoto Naomi, Eriki could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart.

they are the same.

Incomplete divine blood.

Now that her brother is gone, what about her?

Eriyi will inevitably have such thoughts in her mind.

She saw her own reflection in Yuan Zhennu.

So scared.

Instead of dying like this, she would rather stay with Lu Mingfei and live day by day. No matter what the future holds, she never wants to be separated from Lu Mingfei, not even for a day.

Speaking of which, this must be Eri's first act of willfulness.

He placed his hand gently on Eri's body.

Lu Mingfei closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of his wife's hair.

"Okay, madam."

He hugged Eriki tightly.

"We will never be separated again."

Lu Mingfei took Eli Yi to Fuso.

This is her hometown. The carriage stops and goes. They stop at the seaside and look at the distance where the sea and the sky meet.

They fly kites in the spring.

They sat on the ground under the cherry trees and drank sake.

The imperial court's transfer order arrived, and Lu Mingfei and Huiliyi returned to Dazhou.

This time they went to more places.

He only stayed in the capital for one day. When the dignitaries wanted to visit him, the door of the champion's house was already closed, and the champion who had just returned to the capital was nowhere to be found.
