Chapter 385: Grave Mound
Lu Xuan had been more sleepy than usual recently. When he woke up, it was already noon.
My hand was gently kissed, and then I heard a slightly tired voice beside me say, "There's a lazy cat in the palace. It's so late and he's still not getting up. He's been even sleepier these past few days."
Lu Xuan rubbed his eyes and glared at him dazedly, "It's all your fault. Wasn't it yesterday in the carriage..."
Seeing Xiao Kui waiting in the room, Lu Xuan swallowed the rest of his words.
She had already lost control of herself and indulged herself in pleasure in the carriage yesterday, but who would have thought that this man would not let her go at night. Now she felt sore all over and her eyelids were twitching.
After washing up, Jiang Xing took the comb from Xiao Kui's hand and combed her hair. "Didn't you say we were going to the mass grave today? Are you still going?"
Lu Xuan slapped his head, remembering what he had just done, and said quickly, "Of course you want it, let's eat and leave!"
Look at her slapping her head, but the person next to her felt it hurt more than slapping her own head: "What are you doing? You hurt my princess, so you have to pay two compensations."
Slowly glancing at him, she angrily said, "You want two princesses? You also want a concubine? It seems that the prince has a very broad mind!"
Seeing her jealous, he raised his eyes wickedly and leaned over to whisper in her ear: "I lost someone in my previous life, it would be best if I could make up for it."
The slightly angry brows that were previously frowning at him lightly, but a hint of a bright smile inadvertently appeared on his face.
Her anger turned into a smile, and she turned around and pulled him towards the dining table, "You clearly remembered this, but you didn't wake me up earlier. Let's eat and leave."
I don’t know why, but recently not only has my appetite become poorer and I’ve become sleepier, but even my memory has become a little worse.
Could it be that this is the backlash against the emperor?
She was a little worried.
His heart sank, and Lu Xuan forced himself to shovel down a few mouthfuls of the fish porridge.
You have to eat it no matter what!
After breakfast, the two went to the mass grave on the outskirts of the city together.
The autumn wind blows, the crows cry, and there is an inexplicable feeling of desolation.
Lu Xuan looked at this familiar place, feeling regretful.
In her previous life, the only person she saw here after waking up was Nanny Yu. She wrapped her bleeding abdomen, cleaned her wounds, applied medicine, and then helped her force the dead baby out of her body. Then, she used her thin and staggering body to carry her step by step away from this gloomy and desolate wilderness.
However, when I came back this time, the place was still the familiar place, everything seemed unchanged, but Nanny Yu was gone.
Come to think of it, in my previous life, I was stabbed to death by the Third Prince with a sword almost in the past few days.
September 28th.
Jiang Xing held her hand and walked step by step on the bumpy ground, his heart tightening.
In her previous life, Ah Xuan was thrown into such a dilapidated and chaotic place by the Ji family, leaving her to fend for herself!
Just seeing the endless graves in front of him and the foul-smelling mud all over the ground, Jiang Xing's heart tightened.
How could they be so cruel to such a good person like Ah Xuan? How dare they do that?!
He clenched his fists unconsciously, and his tense jawline was filled with a sharp and cold chill.
Feeling the inexplicable low pressure from the person next to him, Lu Xuan sorted himself out and looked at him puzzledly: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Meeting her concerned eyes, he shook his head slightly, and the sharp coldness melted the snow in an instant, turning into a pool of warm spring water.
"We will definitely find those souls." He just smiled at her tenderly.
It’s great that his A Xuan is by his side.
As long as she lives, I will keep her safe and sound, and keep her fair and tender, so that she will always be as bright and beautiful as a spring flower.
Lu Xuan looked at the location, patted his hand, and walked towards the woods in front.
She woke up in this location in her previous life, so she had to try to find the connection.
Jiang Xing and his companions had been looking at the mass grave from the spot. Sun Songlin had previously said that the 500 people he buried alive were in this area, but they didn't know which place it was.
Before they knew it, they realized that Lu Xuan had walked so far away from them.
There was a pomegranate tree in the middle of the mass grave. Lu Xuan stood under the tree and waved quickly at Jiang Xing, "Don't come over here. I'll be sensing this for a while."
There was a sturdy pomegranate tree opposite, and the fruits on the tree were big and red. Feixing swallowed his saliva when he saw it.
If he wasn't in a mass grave, he really wanted to pick a few and take them back to taste.
Noticing Feixing's greedy look, Jiang Xing said seriously, "Do you know why that fruit is so red?"
Feixing looked at him in surprise, "Your Majesty wants to eat too?"
Rolling his eyes at him, Jiang Xing said, "Have you heard of corpse water pomegranates? They're like this. Not only are they large, but the juice inside is blood red because it absorbs real human blood."
His whole body felt cold, and his previous greed disappeared instantly, and Feixing's body was covered with goose bumps.
However, Lu Xuan, who was not far away, started picking fruits seriously.
Feixing blinked and quickly glanced at Jiang Xing, "The princess has already started picking them, so what do you say?"
Standing there in a daze, someone began to speak nonsense in a serious tone, "The princess... must be trying to use the remaining aura of these pomegranates to lure those souls."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the crisp sound of pomegranates being cracked, followed by the crunchy sound of chewing...
Watching the people not far away enjoying pomegranates to their heart's content, Sang Luo, Jiang Xing and the other two stood dazed in the autumn wind...
In fact, Jiang Xing was right. Lu Xuan did want to use these pomegranates to attract those souls.
But for some reason she really wanted to eat this fruit, so she originally planned to pick eight to set up a formation, but unknowingly she picked one more, so she decided to eat it first as a sign of respect.
As for the corpse water pomegranate that Jiang Xing mentioned, it was naturally a figment of the imagination.
In her previous life, she lived in this mass grave, and those ghosts loved to live under the pomegranate trees. They kept chirping every day, making her so annoying that she would die.
After eating half a pomegranate, she finally felt better in her stomach after feeling a little uncomfortable before.
She thought that her scheme against the Third Prince and the Emperor must have backfired, so she felt a pang in her stomach from time to time.
Fortunately, the pomegranate was there to help her suppress the pressure temporarily.
Seeing the half pomegranate left in his hand and then looking at the tree full of fruits, Lu Xuan threw the half in his hand behind him without hesitation.
It’s important to do the real work first. There are plenty of them on the tree, so it’s not a waste to throw away half of them.
After watching her feasting ten steps away, looking at the refreshed look in the woods, and then looking at the occasional corpses that appeared around, except for Feixing who was swallowing his saliva, the other three frowned.
Can you eat in such an environment?
The princess today...why does she seem like a completely different person? She's never been this greedy normally, is she?
The sweetness of the pomegranate suppressed the sour feeling in his heart from missing Nanny Yu, and Lu Xuan began to set up the formation seriously.
There were many ghosts involved in this matter, so chanting incantations alone was not enough; a formation was needed to bless them. Soon, a pomegranate and a spell-matched Nine Star Bagua formation was set up.
The hand gestures moved lightly, the spells were chanted quickly, the sky gradually became gloomy, and a few crows flew over the mass grave from time to time, and soon a strong wind blew.
Fortunately, the early autumn wind was not so cold. Jiang Xing's hair spread forward, and his loose brocade robe was rustling.
Soon, there were some subtle noises behind him, whizzing past and gradually gathering around Lu Xuan.
Because Lu Xuan had stuffed a talisman into Sang Luo and the others' hands when they went out, they didn't hear any sound except for feeling a strong wind.
However, after hearing these sounds, Jiang Xing looked at the delicate and graceful figure not far away with some worry.
There are dozens of ghosts, and I don’t know if Axuan can handle them all.
Half an incense stick later, Lu Xuan stopped chanting and finally opened his eyes.
However, when she opened her eyes, a look of silence flashed across her face.
No, she just felt that there were too few ghosts coming, so she extended the time.
After all this time, only a few forty or fifty ghosts have appeared?
She was a little disappointed. After all, at this time in her previous life, there were at least more than a hundred people who said that they were unable to return to their ancestral tombs, and that they had disappeared during their lifetime, and their families were looking for them!
Naturally, the greater the number, the greater the merit!
