Volume 13 Chapter 7 Yizhuang
The broken map, which had been fluttering in the wind in front of Ayayin, was constantly approaching, but it seemed that it could never be reached.
"No...... No way...... No way! ”
At this moment, Aine let out a hoarse sound and rushed straight towards the map in front of her!
Finally......
She grabbed the map into her hands and rolled on the ground!
After grasping the map, she held it firmly in her arms.
It was a long time before she finally got up.
There were some abrasions on her face, and the place where she was injured before also made her feel pain. However, all she remembered was the broken map.
"Finally...... Got your hands on it...... Map...... Map ......"
In the darkness of the night, she grabbed the map, and then, crawled up.
In the moonlight, she looked at the map in her hand, looking at the route indicated by the map above.
"Go...... There...... Going to ......"
With the map in hand, she stood up again. It didn't seem to have any injuries on his body.
Her eyes were fixed on the map in front of her, and then her feet began to move mechanically. It seems to be entwined by some invisible thread, moving forward like a marionette.
She was now, walking towards the deeper part of Minsan.
Dark...... Moonlight...... And......
Death......
Minsan ...... Bigger than you think.
This mountain is located in the northernmost part of China. Because of this, it becomes even colder at night. Relatively speaking. The sound of the clothes is relatively thin. But I didn't feel much. She's just mechanically. Follow the directions indicated on the map.
She has even lost her sense of time and space, and is purely drawn by the map. However, once she loses the map, she can't move forward again.
I don't know how long it took to walk...... She stopped suddenly.
Ahead, a flash of fire ignited.
"Who are you?"
Aine immediately put the map behind her and looked ahead. Standing not far in front of her was a man in red with a lantern.
The man in red looked at Xuanyin. His eyes were focused on her clothes, and after a long time, he said, "I'll ask you again, are you ...... Who? ”
Xuanyin looked at the man in red, her eyes focused on his red clothes.
"This is the Xiahou family's Renshui Yizhuang. You look so eye-catching. In any case, please leave. ”
"I ...... It's a member of the Xiahou family. Xuanyin finally gritted her teeth and said, "In the tombstone of Xiahou's family, there is mine!" ”
"I don't remember you in Xiahou's house. Moreover, if it is really from the Xiahou family, why not wear red clothes? The man in red said coldly: "Who are you!" ”
"My name is Xiahou Xuanyin." Xuanyin simply straightened up at this moment and said, "It's the bloodline of the Xiahou family!" ”
"Xiahou...... Ayane? The hand of the man in red holding the lantern trembled. Suddenly something came to mind, and said, "Are you ......?"
Subsequently. He walked over to Ayane, shone a lantern on her face, and said, "So, it seems a bit like that." ”
"Right? I ......"
"Have you decided to return to the family?"
"I ......"
"Okay. Then it's a busy time, so it's good to have one more person to help. Since you are from the Xiahou family, I will take you to meet the person in charge of this Renshui Yizhuang. ”
"Good...... I know. ”
The Yizhuang here is a place where the unburied coffins are placed. It's the equivalent of a funeral home.
Because of this, it also looks ghostly.
Soon after entering Yizhuang, Xuanyin saw that the people working here were all dressed in red and walking around with lanterns. The entire Yizhuang was enveloped in the breath of death.
Renshui Yoshiso......
In this way, when my grandmother died, before being buried, she also spent some time in such a town named after the heavenly stem.
"You...... Do you know my grandmother? Her name is ......"
"I know. There are almost no people who don't know your grandmother in Xiahou's family. Even for subordinates like us. Maybe you don't remember...... I saw you when your grandmother died. It's been so long, though, that I didn't recognize you just now. ”
"Yes...... That's ......."
"IMHO...... Did your grandmother mention the 'map' to you? ”
"Maps?"
After a long time, Aine shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, my grandmother didn't mention ...... to me."
"Really...... Didn't you? ”
The man in red looked at her face carefully, and deliberately held the lantern high, as if trying to see her expression clearly.
"I don't know anything about the map."
"Is there really not? That was a long time ago, and usually, shouldn't you think about it and then be sure that there was or didn't? ”
"Nope. I don't remember. ”
Grandmother never mentioned it to Aine. Completely...... It was never mentioned.
"Really?" The man in red didn't ask any more questions, and then he turned around and continued walking towards Yizhuang.
In a state of confusion, Xuanyin didn't know how long she had been walking, and when she entered the room, she was walked through a coffin by the man in red and walked into the room.
When she walked past those coffins, she felt a vague uneasiness.
"The coffin here can only stay for seven days at most. After seven days, he must be buried. ”
"Yes...... That cemetery at the foot of the mountain, right? ”
"Yes. People who were born in Minshan will be buried there. ”
"Why do you have to be buried there?"
"Those tombstones were all made by the people of the Xiahou family. Only in there...... Only then can the soul of the dead reach the underworld. ”
Hearing this kind of words, I can't help but feel creepy.
Arriving at Hades along the way? What does this mean exactly?
Finally, after entering the inner room, the man in red met the person in charge of this Yizhuang with Xuanyin.
Is that......
A handsome and unparalleled man, the man's eyes seem to be full of magic, which is unforgettable when you see it.
It was an antique room, and the handsome man was also dressed in red.
The handsome man watched the man in red come in with a brilliant voice, put down the brush he was writing on rice paper, and said, "Thirty-two, who is she?" ”
Thirty-two?
Is this a human name?
"She is the granddaughter of Xiahou Qinglian."
Upon hearing this, the handsome man immediately stood up and looked at her.
"What? Did she come back with her father? ”
"It's not. I came back on my own. Father he didn't know. ”
The man in red was silent for a long time and said, "What is the purpose of your return?" ”
"Why...... Where is my tombstone standing? Xuanyin replied to the question: "Answer me...... Why? ”
The man in red looked her eyes closely, and then said, "You go." Since he chose to leave Xiahou's house, he shouldn't come back. You should come back after you are dead. ”
"After I die? No, my father and I will die and we won't be buried here! ”
"No, it won't." However, the man in red said a very creepy sentence in a very strange tone.
"You, or your father, after death...... They will come back to this mountain and enter into your tombstones. (To be continued......)
