Sea Mountain Bright Moon

Chapter 24: The Dream of Lifelessness

"Sha'er, everyone is mortal, so you don't need to feel sad for me."

Han Lingsha is a person who can't dream, so when she saw her long-dead uncle appearing in front of her, she felt very confused at first. This familiar scene seemed to bring her back to seven years ago, when she was an adult The appearance of his uncle on his deathbed.

The 30-something-year-old man was already in limbo, dying, lying on the couch, lingering on his last breath.

"Tomb robbing in the era of the Han family has already exhausted your life and your yin and virtue. This is destiny, Sha'er. If you are a child of my Han family, you will forget everything that your uncle taught you in the past, wash your hands in the golden basin, and never step into the grave again. step."

"Sha'er, uncle...will wait for you below."

After that, she was the only one left in the Han family. Since then, she has become a person who can't dream. Since then, she has been walking through barren mountains and wild graves day and night.

Uncle was right, everyone is mortal, but she was not reconciled, she felt that she deserved to die long ago, but she couldn't die like this for nothing.When she was born, she was weak and sick, and her life was hanging by a thread. When she was seven years old, her parents died in the ancient tomb in order to find the elixir that would save her life. Only her uncle escaped with the elixir. Where did the parents die?

Han Lingsha never agreed to her uncle's last words, let alone followed them.

From then on, Han Lingsha would not dream, nor had she lost her home. She just wandered in the mountains and forests, looking for the ancient tombs where fairy medicine was buried everywhere in the mountain legends.

She thought that maybe one day, she would find the tomb where her parents died and collect the bones for them.

The haggard figure of the eldest uncle dissipated in front of her little by little, like a handful of ashes after cremation, disappearing between heaven and earth.

Then time went round and round, not only seven years had passed, but the miserable wind and rain of wandering in the rivers and lakes as a child seemed to pass away, except that the lonely shadow of the world was letting me go, nothing had changed.

Forever and ever, a person spends his whole life alone, how far can he go alone?

Han Lingsha thought about this question before, but before she got the answer, she saw Liu Mengli.

The Sophora japonica flowers in Xingyunyuan were flying like snow, and the beauty under the flowers was as warm and moist as jade. Han Lingsha looked at her blankly, feeling a little cold in his palms and moist in his cheeks for no reason.

Why are you crying?Han Lingsha remembered that she had cried inexplicably since she saw her uncle just now.

"Lingsha."

The man softly called her name, walked towards her step by step, until he reached her, stretched out his hand, and gently stroked the dry tears on her face.

"Why are you crying?"

Little by little, those pitch-black eyes approached him, the ocher mark on her forehead became clearer and clearer in his hazy vision, and that peerless face also got closer and closer to him.

In the end, those soft lips brushed against his cheeks like a summer breeze.

Han Lingsha suddenly realized that she was really, really dreaming, because her uncle had been dead for a long time, and Liu Mengli couldn't kiss herself.

What kind of absurd dream is he dreaming?

"—!"

Han Lingsha woke up from the dream, the sky was already bright, she touched her forehead, it was already soaked in cold sweat, the scene in the dream was still vivid in her mind, she never felt that Liu Mengli's face was so clear in her mind , together with... the remnant touch of that faint kiss, as if it still remained on her cheek.

Never had a dream, this is the first time such a dream, Han Lingsha felt that she was going crazy, or she was already crazy.

She wanted to escape, to escape far away, to a place where there was no Liu Mengli, to a place where her clear eyes could not see.

"Miss Han, are you up?"

Luqiao's voice sounded outside the door at the right time, blocking Han Lingsha's wild thoughts alone.

"Ah, wake up."

While agreeing, she put on her clothes indiscriminately, but when she saw the candlestick left by Liu Mengli last night on the table, she felt confused again.

Calm down, Han Lingsha, you are absolutely, absolutely not that kind of person! ! !

She reprimanded herself, and then added something in her heart - of course, Liu Mengli would not be that kind of person.

"Miss Han, the lady said that if you wake up, you can go to the front hall to find her. She and Miss Zhao are waiting for you there."

It was only then that Han Lingsha remembered what Liu Mengli had said to her before she left last night. It seemed that it was not too early to go down, and she didn't know how long she had waited for someone to come over to call her. It seemed that Ling'er had woken up early, The child did the same, and did not call himself when he got up.

It would be bad if Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu felt that she was a lazy and lazy person.

"Okay! I'll be right there."

"Miss Han, the lady said that you don't need to rush, just take your time, and the maidservant will wait for the girl to wash up."

Hearing Luqiao's slightly smiling voice, Han Lingsha couldn't help but blushed. This Liu Mengli deliberately instructed her servants like this, didn't she make others laugh at her? People come to serve themselves, and they don't know what their intentions are.

Han Lingsha felt that Liu Mengli must be trying to trick her on purpose.

She felt a little angry, but felt a little happy for some reason. After getting dressed, she opened the door, and saw Luqiao standing outside the door with a basin in her hand, looking at herself with a smile on her face.

Han Lingsha blushed, feeling awkward for some reason, "Uh, your name is Luqiao, right?"

"Yes, Miss Han," Luqiao replied with a smile, and was about to enter the door with a basin in her hand, but Han Lingsha stretched out her hand and blocked the door.

Han Lingsha snatched the basin in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "That! I'll do it myself."

Lu Qiao blinked, and looked at Han Lingsha innocently, "But, Miss Han, it was the little lady who asked the servants to wait for the girl to wake up..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Han Lingsha always felt that there was a smile that couldn't be concealed in Luqiao's puzzled expression, but at this moment she didn't care so much, she always felt that she was about to be overwhelmed by overwhelming embarrassment.

Han Lingsha shook her head like a rattle, "No need! I'll do it myself, you go back to your dream... Go back to your little lady, and say I'll go find her right away!"

"Yes, Miss Han, please come here quickly, don't keep the little lady waiting for a long time."

That Luqiao responded, and for some reason took another deep look at Han Lingsha, before retreating with an inexplicable smile.

Han Lingsha looked at Lu Qiao who was leaving slowly for no reason, feeling strange in her heart, obviously yesterday Lu Qiao looked normal, why did she always look so strange today, but it was not early at this time, and she didn't have time to go Thinking about it, I just turned around and went back to the room. After washing and sorting out, I hurriedly searched for the front hall.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw Liu Mengli who was talking in a low voice with her back turned to the outside, and Liu Shifeng who was sitting at the head of the hall, shaking his head and sighing constantly.

Han Lingsha was about to speak when Liu Mengli turned around and looked at herself.

"Lingsha, you're up."

"Sorry, I got up late." Han Lingsha shook her head, walked to Liu Mengli's side, and saluted Liu Shifeng who was sitting on top, "Hello, Uncle Liu."

Seeing Liu Shifeng's sad face, she knew that Liu Mengli had already explained to Liu Shifeng what was discussed last night. Seeing Liu Shifeng's extremely reluctant expression, she must have been unwilling, but he couldn't hold back this stubborn daughter. .

But why didn't I see Ling'er? Didn't that Luqiao just say that Ling'er had come here first?

Han Lingsha was looking around curiously to find Zhao Ling'er, when she felt her sleeves being pulled lightly, she turned her head slightly, and saw Liu Mengli approaching her ear, and said softly, "Ling'er was pulled. My mother took it to change into new clothes, and she will be here in a while."

"Oh, niece Xian, you're here." Liu Shifeng stood up when he saw Han Lingsha, and sighed, "I've heard Li'er tell you about it. The disappearance of the guard? How could you children be so reckless!"

Han Lingsha glanced at Liu Mengli, who was looking at her quietly, once she met her eyes, the scene in her previous dream would uncontrollably emerge, she was flustered, so she couldn't help turning her eyes away, looking at Liu Shifeng Said: "Uncle Liu, this matter is very important. Recently, visions have occurred frequently in the suburbs of Shouyang, which are beyond the reach of ordinary human beings. Mengli's intention to plead for the lives of the people of Shouyang is out of kindness. Lingsha understands that you are Mengli. I feel worried, but the longer the matter drags on, the more likely the situation will change. If we don't stop it in time, I'm afraid there will be a bigger disaster. Besides, with Ling'er and me, we two sisters have traveled the rivers and lakes for many years, and we have learned some self-defense techniques , will definitely protect Mengli well, so you don't need to worry."

"You child! How can I not worry about this old man!" Liu Shifeng stomped his feet, with a look of heartbroken but helpless Liu Mengli. He sighed and said, "Forget it. It’s clear, but the old man can’t hold you back, it’s just that this trip is dangerous, so don’t force it, if you encounter danger, come back quickly and find another way.”

"Father," Liu Mengli took a step forward, supported Liu Shifeng to sit down, and said softly, "My child will act carefully, and I need Daddy to keep this matter from mother for a while, don't let her know."

"Since I know your mother will be worried, why do you want to put yourself in danger!" Liu Shifeng still looked at Liu Mengli angrily, shook his head and sighed: "It's all my fault, old man, since you were young, you have left everything up to you , now that my daughter is grown up, I can't control you anymore!"

Seeing that Liu Mengli didn't answer, Han Lingsha knew that she was trying her best not to disobey her father, and she didn't dare to intervene without permission, so she let herself see Liu Shifeng nagging Liu Mengli, always wanting to laugh , but I can't laugh anymore.

In fact, she was against taking Liu Mengli with her when going to Huainan King's Mausoleum, but Liu Mengli's seemingly gentle but stubborn temper could not be resisted even by her father, let alone herself.

Speaking of which, I am not such an uninitiated person, why do I always follow Liu Mengli in everything?

On the other side, Han Lingsha was still staring at the ground thinking about Liu Mengli, and suddenly heard her superior Liu Shifeng calling to herself, "By the way, niece Han."

"Yes, Uncle Liu!"

She quickly regained her composure and raised her head to respond, only to see that Liu Mengli, who was standing beside Liu Shifeng, was also looking at her steadfastly. She didn't know what was thinking in her deep eyes, and she felt a little startled—on weekdays, Liu Mengli Did he also look at her with such meaningful eyes?Or, how does she look when she looks at others?

Or is it because of a guilty conscience?

"Seeing how confused this old man is, you must be hungry after standing here for a long time. This old man is here to ask his servants to prepare some food for you. Only when you are full will you have the strength to do things."

Seeing that Liu Shifeng was about to stand up, Han Lingsha quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no! No need for Uncle Liu, I'm not hungry yet!"

Liu Mengli said: "Lingsha, then you still need to prepare something, and you can also order the servants in the mansion to prepare it."

Han Lingsha pondered for a while, she had prepared the usual tools for exploring the tomb, and some spare tools in the outskirts could be picked up later, but now that she knows that the feng shui of the Huainan King's Tomb has changed, some things can't be used No way, although Liu Mengli and Zhao Ling'er both know spells, and Xiaokui can suppress the evil spirits in the tomb, it's always better to be careful in everything.

"Hmm... is there black dog blood and black dog heart?"

"How much do you need?"

"It doesn't take a lot, a pot of black dog blood and a heart are enough."

"Then do you need to prepare anything else?"

"No need, I originally said to prepare some incense sticks, but you are enough."

"...What do you use me for?"

"What do you mean by using you? You are very useful." Han Lingsha smiled and winked at Liu Mengli, "You will know when the time comes."

Seeing Liu Mengli looking at her with a calm expression, Han Lingsha couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. This Liu Mengli is just so boring and has no curiosity at all, so why can't she cooperate with herself to ask.

"Then I'll go and order my servants to prepare things first. When Ling'er comes back later, you all go back to Xingyun Garden and wait for me." Liu Mengli said lightly, and then bowed to Liu Shifeng, "Father, that child will leave first. "

Han Lingsha looked at Liu Shifeng, her heart sank suddenly, she was proud just now, but she completely forgot that Liu Shifeng was still at the side, and he didn't know if he saw the clues of what she said just now.

But seeing that Liu Shifeng was indeed stroking his beard and looking at him with a smile, and then nodded to Liu Mengli. After Liu Mengli resigned, Han Lingsha suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"Did niece Han sleep well last night? Are you still used to living in the Liu Mansion?"

"Thank you, Uncle Liu, for your concern. Everything is fine, and there is nothing I am not used to."

"Hehe, that's good," Liu Shifeng stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "I heard from my servant that I saw Li'er leave your room this morning, and then Li'er told me that I couldn't sleep last night and wanted to talk to you at night. , because we talked too late, I slept with you, my daughter is always self-willed, and I don’t want to take offense when I disturb my niece’s rest."

Looking at Liu Shifeng who was smiling so much that his eyes narrowed, Han Lingsha finally understood why Luqiao couldn't help laughing when she looked at her this morning, and also understood that the inexplicable sights and pointers she felt along the way were not illusions up.

She looked at the walls on all sides, thinking about which one to bump into.

Liu Mengli, please be more considerate! ! !
