The Psychic Girl

Chapter 98: The breeze contains jade, no regrets in this life

Hua Qi, who was closest to the horizon, turned and flew. Sensing a bad premonition, he immediately flew down. Seeing Gong Yimian, who was still sitting on a tree branch and knew nothing about it, he pulled him up and threw him to the ground.

"Ahh! What's wrong! What's going on?!"

Gong Yimian, who was originally sleeping soundly, was suddenly thrown to the ground. He thought he had fallen down and was startled.

How come there are so many corpse-pecking crows in Green Mausoleum that love fresh corpses?

Corpse-pecking crows are cunning but also very timid. Although they are also spiritual animals, they are only adapted to group activities and have extremely low aggressiveness, so almost no one except wizards will keep them in captivity. One of the most important reasons why wizards would tame them is their extremely keen vigilance and sensitivity to the blood of corpses.

As the only wizard here and the one who knows the habits of corpse-pecking crows best, Xu Yan reminded them immediately.

"This should be the time when they are actively foraging, but from the sound, they are shouting for their companions to escape!"

Ye Lianxi, who was still sleeping, was also awakened by the cries of the corpse-pecking crows.

The voice reminded her of the night before she arrived in Huan'an, the temple where she first saw the corpse-pecking crows. But when she looked down and saw the black dress covering her body, for some reason, she felt inexplicably at ease.

In her dream, Qi told her that there was a spirit that had been wandering in this green mausoleum for decades, waiting for something to happen. It seemed that tonight, what the spirit was waiting for finally happened...

Could it be that the spirit is what the corpse-pecking crow is afraid of?

Listening to Xu Yan's words, Gong Yimian looked up curiously at a dark shadow flying towards the west in the night sky.

"Escape? Is there anything else worth escaping from in this forest besides us test takers?

Are we really that powerful? ? "

Gong Yimian obviously overthought this.

Hongying had walked behind him without him knowing. She and Gong Yimian looked up at the corpse-pecking crows that had already flown away. She seemed to suddenly understand something and shouted.

"Ah! I get it! You guys are worrying too much. This time it's not an evil spirit, it's Yaoyue!"

The Yaoyue is a periodic astronomical phenomenon that occurs every few decades on the Lingwu Continent. At that time, the moon will be the fullest in a hundred years. At the same time, the color of the moon that night will turn completely red for a moment.

It is said that only at that moment, even the eternal flow of time will stop.

"What's wrong with Yaoyue? Isn't it just a full moon? What does this have to do with corpse-pecking crows?"

Turning her head to look at Hongying behind her, Gong Yimian's eyes became even more confused. Even Hua Qi, who was leaning against a tree not far away, looked at her curiously.

Faced with his questioning, Hongying was speechless for a moment.

Seeing her embarrassment, Xu Yan suddenly became anxious and immediately ran to her and pulled her sleeve to comfort her.

Turning back, she saw Xu Yan nodding at her sincerely. After receiving his encouragement, Hongying, who was originally squeaking, seemed to calm down a lot.

Then he continued to explain.

"The nemesis of the carrion-pecking crows is light. They cannot come out when there is sunlight. Usually there is no sun at night, but there is an exception one day, which is when the short moon occurs.

The red light when the moon is about to be full is as hot as the sun. Ancient books once said, 'When the moon is about to be full, the stars will be drawn, the sun and the moon will be equal, and the sky will be as bright as day.' Therefore, these corpse-pecking crows are trying to avoid the red moonlight when the moon is about to be full."

After listening to Hongying's explanation, everyone suddenly understood. At this time, Manyao, who had just woken up, suddenly aroused everyone's attention with a baby voice.

"Xi? ...Gone?..."

……

Unlike others who were attracted by the corpse-pecking crows and Yaoyue, Ye Lianxi noticed another sound hidden behind the birds' calls.

【After fifty-three years... I finally saw it...

Yuhan, I said I would wait with you until the moon comes, and I have waited...】

Following the sound, Ye Lianxi passed through the bushes in front of him and came to a lush area covered by bushes and grass.

All the fireflies that had escaped before hid in this place, spinning and dancing around a translucent spirit. Their light also illuminated the place that should have been dark.

He was wearing white clothes and had black hair, and both his clothes and hair fluttered in the moonlight.

His long black hair was not tied or tied, but fluttering slightly, setting off his figure suspended in the air. Countless fireflies clinged tenderly, jumping on his eyebrows and corners of his lips.

Ye Lianxi could not see his full appearance clearly from a distance, but even though she knew in her heart that he was a ghost, in such a beautiful picture, she felt that he did not look like a ghost, but rather like a god descended to the earth...

"…You have let go of your obsession."

It was Ye Lianxi who spoke. She thought that if she didn't speak, the spirit might think that she was just a passer-by who came here rashly.

"Let it go...Are you a psychic?"

The spirit did not show any doubt or surprise at Ye Lianxi's arrival as she had expected. It still stared at the moon in the sky without taking its eyes off it.

She was a little confused at first, but when she thought about it, although psychics have disappeared for a thousand years, there must be some differences between spirits and ordinary people!

In response to his question, Ye Lianxi nodded slightly, looked at his figure hanging in the air, closed her eyes, and listened quietly to his words.

[My name is Chang Qingfeng, and I have a beloved girl named Yu Han.

She was as ordinary as a white flower on the roadside, but she was enough to make me fall in love with her at first sight. However, my family members did not agree with my marriage with her, so I had no choice but to elope with her. An accident made me die here before I could see her...

I have been trapped in this forest, unable to leave, and can no longer see the girl I love. I don’t know whether she is alive now or whether she still remembers me.

But I remember the feelings she told me, that she wanted to wait with me until the moon appeared. She promised to grow old with me...

She had always believed in that legend. When the moon turned completely red and time stood still, two people in love made a promise to be together forever, and they would receive the favor and blessing of the ancient gods.

Although I am no longer by her side, I still hope to make this promise to her. I hope I will have the chance to meet her again in the next life...】

As time passed, the moon above their heads gradually turned red. The red moon hung high in the sky, shining on Chang Qingfeng's transparent body.

There was no trace of gloom in his body, but instead he showed a kind of carefree and relieved look.

“…Actually, I have no regrets about meeting her in this life.

I heard that psychics can fulfill the wishes of all the dead. Can you give me a ride?

I want to start over and meet that person again..."
