Chapter 629 The lost four babies will not come back
Xu Qing hesitated, looked at the fruit, and then at the gorgeous woman in front of him.
From the prince's figure beside him and the purpose of coming here, he could naturally guess who it was, but it still couldn't overlap with the memory of the other person's appearance in the northern ice field.
The difference is too big.
But just now, he was originally prepared for a battle with that Lingzang.
But now...
Xu Qing glanced at the tree, lost all interest, and took the fruit respectfully.
"Thank you, senior."
He thinks this is not bad.
Princess Mingmei nodded slightly. She was actually very optimistic about the junior in front of her. On the one hand, it was her brother's approval, and on the other hand, she understood that her ability to get out of trouble was bound to be related to this junior.
Therefore, for her who has clear grievances and grudges, she cannot bear to see her brother's so-called training and coercion in giving away things.
The prince was helpless, he wanted to train Xu Qing, but now that the third sister offered it, he could only smile.
"Then, let's go?"
The prince looked at the third sister.
Princess Mingmei glanced at the senile appearance of the Crown Prince and sighed in her heart. Although she knew that this was just the appearance of the Crown Prince, she could feel from his expression that her brother really recognized his current appearance from the bottom of her heart.
"The prince who was the ruler of the world for his graceful demeanor and fame...now, we are all old."
"The best years are sealed in a place where they never see the light of day."
Princess Mingmei shook her head, her appearance changed, and she turned into a kind old lady, and she spoke calmly.
"You seemed very comfortable in that drug store."
The prince smiled when he heard this and spoke softly.
"That little pharmacy is very cozy."
Princess Mingmei was thoughtful.
Xu Qing blinked and looked at the old man and the old lady in front of him. He had a vague feeling that his pharmacy would soon have an old shopkeeper.
Thinking that there would be two Yunshen in this ordinary medicine shop... Xu Qing was a little confused.
"Let's go to the place where the fifth sister and the eighth brother were sealed as you mentioned. According to what we did last time in the temple, their soul bonds were secretly broken, and now they can be awakened."
Princess Mingmei spoke calmly and walked forward.
The prince waved to Xu Qing and followed him.
Xu Qing was behind, looking strange. He felt that his previous calculations were wrong. In the future, his medicine shop might not have two Yunshen, but four.
"Perhaps, with the release of the crown prince's brothers and sisters, there will be more?"
Xu Qing was shocked when he thought of this, even with his determination, and couldn't help but look in the direction of his little medicine shop.
When he first opened a pharmacy here, he never imagined that one day... it would be like this.
Just like that, the three of them walked away.
Grandpa and grandma are in the sky, Xu Qing is on the earth.
They are marching in the sky, Xu Qing is roaring in the desert.
The softness of the desert caused Xu Qing to exert extreme effort in every step after he withdrew the power of Ziyue. If he was not careful, he would sink to the bottom of the sand.
Especially for some sandy soil, once it sinks, there will be a huge suction inside, making it difficult for Xu Qing to climb out.
The Crown Prince seemed less old-fashioned in front of his sister, like an old naughty boy, watching happily. After watching for a few days, Princess Mingmei waved Xu Qing out of a desert depression.
Xu Qing was a little embarrassed, he had been crawling there for two hours.
"What a good child, how can I be tortured by you?"
Princess Mingmei glanced at the Crown Prince with dissatisfaction, and the Crown Prince was about to speak.
"Do you think of the punishment your father gave you when you were a child? This iron ball looks familiar, it must be the one that your father tied to you back then."
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the Crown Prince, and he also noticed that every time he struggled to climb these days, the Crown Prince looked at him with both reminiscence and happiness.
The prince laughed and changed the subject.
"Third Sister, the place where Fifth Sister is sealed is a bit special. It's different from us. I've experienced it before."
Princess Mingmei carried Xu Qing and nodded slightly.
"How special?"
"The fifth sister is not sealed in reality." The prince's expression showed a solemn look, his eyes showed a strange light, and his voice became hoarse.
"She was sealed in a nursery rhyme."
Princess Meimei was thoughtful. When Xu Qing heard this, he felt strange in his heart. Even though he had experienced a lot of things, this was the first time he heard that nursery rhymes could be sealed.
"There is a small mountain village at the foot of Yongshun Mountain in the south."
"This village has existed for a long time. Even if it encounters a disaster and becomes a dead village, it will often reappear after a few years."
"There is a nursery rhyme that has been circulating in the village..."
The Crown Prince's voice, filled with vicissitudes of life, echoed as he walked forward.
"The fifth sister is sealed in this nursery rhyme. When no one in heaven and earth remembers this nursery rhyme, the fifth sister will die completely."
"But our brother, the Son of God, how could he let Fifth Sister die in order to torture her? So in addition to remembering it himself, he also always arranged for others to remember her."
"At the same time, he used the power of the Red Mother to make this nursery rhyme cause great harm to Fifth Sister every time it was recited, such as the pain of devouring flesh and blood. The reason why he chose that small village was because...it was the bloodline of Fifth Sister.
The remaining land and the people living there are all her descendants."
Xu Qing was moved.
Princess Mingmei was silent, with anger and sadness in her eyes, because she heard what the Crown Prince had not said.
There, using the method of nursery rhymes, the flesh and blood of the five sisters were unknowingly devoured, and then were given to them by the Son of God, and became the food they had eaten in the past few years.
The prince was also silent.
The sadness became more and more profound in this silence. From then on, Princess Mingmei did not speak again, and the prince did not speak either. The three of them left the Qingsha Desert, left this county, crossed the west, and went to the festival.
In the southern part of the Yue Da Domain, we have reached our destination.
For ordinary monks, they may not be able to complete the entire journey without relying on teleportation. However, at the pace of the Crown Prince and Princess Mingmei, they could cross the abyss in just one day.
This is because we have to take care of Xu Qing's endurance, otherwise, it might only take a moment.
As for this destination, it is an endless jungle, filled with decay, giving people a sense of decay and death.
In its depth, Xu Qing saw a special mountain peak.
This mountain is about 800 feet high and looks like a giant centipede leaning up and extending its fangs toward the sky.
The tentacles of the centipede are also clearly visible, lifelike.
A ferocious feeling poured into Xu Qing's heart the moment his eyes touched it.
He felt the evil aura and the deep resentment that seemed to have accumulated for countless years.
This is the Black Centipede Mountain that the Crown Prince mentioned.
The sky here is pitch black, with countless black clouds vaguely visible, which are formed by resentment and linger all year round.
Only streaks of lightning flashed continuously inside, and bursts of thunder spread in all directions.
Just like all living beings roaring in sorrow, venting their unwillingness.
At the foot of the mountain, there is a village surrounded by a dry fence.
The village is small and built against the mountains. Most of the houses inside are gray and black, with an ominous look, and the ground is full of dirt.
It seems that because this place is isolated from the rest of the world, and the roar of heaven and earth also blocks the arrival of outsiders, numbness is the normal state of the residents here.
And because of the harsh conditions in which we live, depression has become the main theme.
And all of these blend together and become decayed by the passage of time.
Only children... due to their nature, they don't seem to have so many worries. They regard the thunder formed by resentment as fireworks, so they are jumping around in the sky with lightning flashing, and nursery rhymes are heard from their mouths.
Although there were only five or six people, their voices spread strangely far away.
"Once upon a time, there was a big baby, with a row of small ones behind him. Ten dolls, six or seventy-eight years old, with red eyes and gray hair. They didn't talk all day long. When the older children saw them, they called "Ajia." Don't be afraid of the younger children..."
"Until one day suddenly, the eldest baby fell ill, the second baby looked at it, the third baby bought medicine, the fifth baby boiled it, the sixth baby died, the seventh baby laughed, the eighth baby dug a hole, the ninth baby jumped, and the tenth baby shed tears on the ground. I went to ask him why he was crying.
…”
“You can’t bring back the lost four babies!”
The nursery rhyme floated away, and it seemed to possess strange power. Even the sound of thunder could not be suppressed. It spread outside the village and fell into the ears of Xu Qing and the three people who appeared at the entrance of the village.
Princess Mingmei looked complicated, and the prince closed his eyes to cover up the pain in his eyes.
Xu Qing sighed softly in his heart.
There are five women and ten sons in charge. According to imperial customs, the men are ranked male and the women are ranked female.
This nursery rhyme talks about the ten sons of the Lord, and the fourth among them...Xu Qing knows that he is the son of God of the Red Moon Temple.
As for the big baby, he is the prince.
From the expression on the prince's face, Xu Qing guessed that he might have been... really sick back then.
As for the cause of the disease, Xu Qing didn't know, but he felt that it might be related to the Red Moon Red Mother.
"If you want to ask why the fourth baby was lost, the big baby knows best!"
Xu Qing was silent and looked at the Crown Prince.
The prince opened his eyes at this moment, stared at the village, and spoke softly.
"Fifth sister's soul has awakened, and the way to unlock the seal is... Third sister, you use your authority to transform the traces of all the people who have appeared in this place throughout the ages, and to transform the nursery rhymes that have echoed here for countless years.
Constantly drifting."
"Xu Qing, this process requires the help of your power of the purple moon. This is the key to opening the sealed place."
"And I will go all out to change the perception of the world and hide all fluctuations. Within ten breaths, I am sure that the Red Moon Temple will not be able to sense it even if I pay attention to it all the time."
"But, it's only ten breaths."
The prince turned his head and looked at Princess Mingmei.
"enough."
As Princess Mingmei spoke, she took a step forward, raised her right hand and pointed towards the village in front. Suddenly the color of the sky and the earth changed, the wind and clouds surged, and the thunder in the sky stopped at this moment.
A river of time suddenly transformed and flowed through the village.
The river is turbulent, the waves are rolling, splashing countless water droplets, floating in the sky and earth, turning into countless figures.
But for everyone who was born here, their time was taken out by Princess Mingmei at this moment, and it filled the village more and more.
Until three breaths later, they were densely packed and countless.
And all the residents in the village also walked out of their houses in confusion.
At this moment, the living people, souls, gathered together.
The heaven and earth roared, nothingness shook, and in the roaring flow of the long river of time, chants from life and death, praises from the present and the past, echoed in all directions.
"Once upon a time there was a big baby, and behind him were a row of small dolls..."
