The little princess was torn, and the demon emperor patched her up

Chapter 140 Sending the Peddler to the North of the Demonic Wall
Xiao Baojing saw Shang Bingjiu sleeping soundly in the palace.

Because of the red lantern, the demon hunter could not get close to Shang Bingjiu, so Xiao Nanjia sent ten strong men to dig out the orange tree and Shang Bingjiu who was sleeping under the tree and moved them back to the palace.

The guards harnessed eight horses to a large cart, and asked a strong man to move Shang Bingjiu, the tree, and the red lantern onto the cart.

The masters of the three major sects of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism were all present, offering various magical instruments such as fly swatters, eight-treasure ruyi, gourds, etc. The bright yellow talismans emitted a faint light and surrounded the cart like a bird's nest, suppressing the sleeping monster.

Xiao Baojing watched them from afar.

Even though he was treated to such a big battle, the peddler was still sleeping soundly with his hands in his pockets. His beautiful fox eyes were slightly curved, and his dark and dense eyelashes trembled in the wind from time to time, like surging petals, as if a monster had encountered something interesting in its dream.

Xiao Baojing clenched his hands, which were hanging by his sides, again and again.

She couldn't help but ask Lu Yu'an: "What are they going to do to the peddler?"

Lu Yu'an said: "It seems that he is going to be sent to the north of the Demonic Wall."

Xiao Baojing remained silent.

The area north of the Demonic Wall was once the territory of the demon clan.

Later, the sun Golden Crow refused to appear over that land, and so it became a place of eternal night.

That's where the peddler grew up.

Perhaps Xiao Nanjia tried every means to kill him but failed, so he chose to send him back there.

Thinking of the past that he had glimpsed through the Yin-Yang Pisces bronze mirror, Xiao Baojing suddenly had an urge to take a look at the past.

Take a look at what the Land of Eternal Night looks like, and see if you can find your lost memories there...

As she was thinking, a young palace maid came hurriedly over and bowed with a smile: "Plum blossoms are blooming all over Bailong Mountain in the west of the city. The princess is holding a plum blossom viewing banquet in the mountain and specially invites Miss Xiao to attend the banquet. The carriage has been harnessed, please move to the palace gate."

Xiao Baojing pinched the bunch of persimmons on his bag.

If she wanted to follow the peddler to the land of eternal night, then she would definitely have to say goodbye to Xiao Yulou.

She said, "Then take me to see the eldest princess."

The plum blossoms on Bailong Mountain are indeed in bloom, with deep red and light pink all over the mountain.

Xiao Baojing climbed up hundreds of steps with great effort. Although it was winter, he was so tired that he was panting and sweating profusely.

She wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and struggled to lift her legs to climb up, half talking to the palace maid behind her and half talking to herself: "When did the princess become like Xiao Nanjia, liking to hold banquets in high places? Climbing so many steps is really tiring..."

If she fell apart while crawling and there was no peddler to help her sew them up, she would be really helpless!
Finally, they climbed to the top of the mountain. Xiao Yulou and the plum blossom viewing banquet were nowhere to be seen. Only a girl in blue and gold clothes was standing alone on the edge of the cliff.

Xiao Baojing: "..."

Yes, it is indeed Xiao Nanjia!

With a gloomy look on her face, she turned around and was about to walk back, when a cold voice came from behind her: "If you don't want to be thrown off the mountain, come here quickly."

Xiao Baojing: "..."

The girl's round, dark almond-shaped eyes rolled around, and after clearly catching sight of the secret guard hiding in the shadows of the flowers, she slowly moved to Xiao Nanjia's side: "What do you want from me?"

Xiao Nanjia did not answer, but just lowered his eyes and looked down the cliff.

Xiao Baojing quietly rolled his eyes and looked in the direction she was looking.

In the distance is a pink sea of clouds formed by plum trees, which looks boundless and dreamy at first glance.

Xiao Baojing admired it for a moment and found that there was a pure white area just below the cliff.

She was curious: "Why are there different varieties planted? The plum blossoms here are white!" Xiao Nanjia had a blank expression on his face and just glanced at her like an idiot.

Xiao Baojing was most annoyed by Xiao Nanjia's expression and couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly again.

Xiao Nanjia said coldly: "If your eyesight is not good, I don't mind throwing you down to take a closer look. Take a good look."

"What are you looking at?!"

Xiao Baojing was annoyed and could only look down the cliff again.

The cliff is not too high.

She looked carefully and finally saw clearly that there were no blooming white plum blossoms at the bottom of the cliff, but mountains of white flesh and dry bones!
The pile of dry bones gave off a heavy smell of death, as if rotten hands were reaching out from the underworld, carrying endless resentment, wailing and struggling, trying to drag people down alive!

Xiao Baojing shuddered and subconsciously moved away from the cliff.

She swallowed and asked, "What is this?"

"The Bone Cave." Xiao Nanjia said lightly, "If half of it hadn't been taken away by the Gu Song Dynasty, it would probably be even larger."

"I want to ask, why are there so many bones in this place?"

"Because of the evil spirits and demons. They harmed the human world and dragged the people they killed to this place. Over the years, the mountains piled up and gradually became what it is now. Do you want to go down and count how many people died in vain?"

Xiao Baojing remained silent.

She finally understood Xiao Nanjia's intention of tricking her into coming here.

She pinched the persimmon skewer and said, "You want me to see that not all ghosts and monsters are good. You want me to tell you the peddler's secret..."

"Don't tell me, tell the world."

Xiao Nanjia looked into the sky.

The country was in ruins, and the mountains, rivers, lakes and seas were in a mess.

A haze flashed across her eyes, and she whispered, "I know you are not a pure spirit. You are wearing the skin of a spirit, but your heart is the heart of a human. You witnessed Shang Bingjiu using Pangu Banner to harm the world, and you witnessed him transforming into a big monster to devour the dragon veins, but this world is not his world alone, little spirit, do you want to watch him destroy this world with your own eyes?"

Xiao Baojing lowered his head: "You have already decided to send him to the north of the Demonic Wall, why bother asking so many questions? Even if you know his purpose, you can't kill him at all, why bother?"

Xiao Nanjia didn't say anything.

She stared at Xiao Baojing for a long time in the cold wind before turning around and leaving without saying a word.

The carriage that brought Xiao Baojing here has already left.

The girl had no choice but to shamelessly climb onto Xiao Nanjia's carriage.

The carriage slowly passed through the market, and the driver Lu Yu'an reminded: "Your Majesty, there is your favorite rice cake rabbit in front."

Xiao Baojing followed Xiao Nanjia out of the carriage.

Because the Gu Song Dynasty took away half of the resources, the city of Yejing is no longer as bustling as before. The former scene of wine shops and buildings with bright lights, wine and women drinking all night long and spending huge sums of money is no longer seen. Instead, there are many small stalls set up by ordinary people on the roadside.

On the street, an old woman sat on a small stool selling rice cake rabbits.

Lu Yu'an asked for two, wrapped them in brown paper and handed them to Xiao Baojing and Xiao Nanjia.

Xiao Baojing noticed a dozen young children playing behind the old woman. They were all dressed in shabby and worn clothes and were sitting in a circle throwing handkerchiefs. The strange thing was that they had thin ropes tied around their feet, stringing them together like candied haws.

As she was watching, Xiao Nanjia held the rice cake rabbit in her hands and asked her curious question: "Why did grandma tie them together with a rope?"
