Flower Moon

Three years ago, when Wen Buyi met Tao Yue'er, it was the most difficult time in her life.

Tao Yue'er never thought that her life would become so broken.It was dark.

The most difficult days in the past were nothing more than rain leaking from the roof and lack of food. People treated them as jokes, pointed at them, and laughed at them.But since she started to practice Xuanxiu, she felt deeply for the first time what 'hard work' is.

Those days when there was no food to eat and the house leaked, as long as the walls were repaired or the stomach was filled, the pain would pass.But once she made up her mind to become a master of Xuanxiu, she realized that the pain was a thousand times, ten thousand times deeper than what she had suffered in the past.

If you can't practice swinging a sword well, you can swing it a thousand or ten thousand times until you get good at it.If he couldn't memorize the runes, he would stay up all night and study hard until he was proficient in memorizing them.She was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat.Waiting for leisure, but because of physical fatigue, no appetite.

In front of her eyes was a dark tunnel with no way forward and an endless distance.Endlessly, without end.

But she didn't call for a stop, nor did she cry out for suffering.

She knew that her foundation was not good, so she had to work harder.

Whether it was practicing swords, reciting books, or drawing talismans, she had done it seriously, but the result was still not good.

She failed Jiufangliao's martial arts test.

"Give up." The examiner told Tao Yue'er: "I have never seen such a root and aptitude like you. Even the chicken on the side of the road has more aura than you. Why? That chicken naturally knows when It's time to crow, but you, the resentment is coming to the top of your head, I'm afraid you don't even know how to avoid it. You, you don't have the root of wisdom."

Tao Yue'er was very frustrated, and took the result of failing the exam and handed it to Hua Ling who was waiting at the door.

Hua Ling waited here for her all day, but what she got was this result, she was much sadder than Hua Ling.It hurts so bad it's almost hard to breathe.He fell to the door and started crying.

"I'm sorry...Hua Ling, I tried my best." Tao Yueer's eyes were red, and for the first time in this month, she couldn't hold back and cried.

Hua Ling was not surprised, and said lightly: "Are you disappointed?"

"Ah."

"Want to give up?"

"...I don't want to. But...but they all said that I don't have the root of wisdom."

"If you don't have wisdom roots, don't you learn? Didn't the Xuanqingzong gang say you didn't have wisdom roots? But didn't you persevere?"

Back then, if there was no such thing as Liu Jing, Tao Yue'er would have been promoted by the palace lord in Su Nu Palace and became his favorite student.Where will there be many things later?

"Don't worry about what they say, the important thing is what you want to do, what kind of person you want to be, and who you want to be with. If you fail the test this time, you can try again next time. As long as you work hard, you will pass the test one day .”

"But Hua Ling... what should I do?" Tao Yue'er was very helpless, just as helpless as she was when she lost the election for the ten Huayue Hui.

These days, she has worked hard on everything that Hua Ling taught Tao Yueer.But nothing improved.After entering the examination room, as long as other people looked at her, she would cower in fright. How could she remember any sword spells?
She could be smeared on the neck with a sword.

If God didn't reward her with food, she wouldn't be in this business.Or maybe she can't do anything well.

Ever since she was a child, she seemed to be very unlucky, no matter what she did, she could only give up halfway.

Hualing thought for a while, then squatted down, and asked Tao Yueer who was sitting on the steps: "There is another method, maybe a bit cruel, but Tao Yueer, are you afraid?"

Tao Yue'er shook her head, tears glistened in her eyes, and she said hoarsely, "Don't be afraid."

She has already died once, so what is there to be afraid of?

"Well, after nightfall, I'll take you to Concubine Jing's grave."

Next to Jinxiu City, the capital of Liuguo, one day went down to the Holy Land of Taoism—Xuanqingzong.Xuanqingzong was built on Tianji Mountain, which is a geomantic treasure that gathers spiritual energy from all over the world.However, things in the world are bound to decline when they are very prosperous. There is Tianji Mountain that gathers the spiritual energy of the world, but there is no spiritual energy around it.

To the west of Tianji Mountain is a ghost village, to the east is Dayi Village, to the south is Concubine Jing's Tomb, and to the north is Huguo Mausoleum... In short, they are all treasured geomantic lands full of resentment.Ghost Village and Dayi Village have been almost cleaned up by disciples of Xuanqing Sect over the years.Only Concubine Jing's Tomb and Huguo Mausoleum were not wiped out, but the suppression was the main focus.

Because the Huguo Mausoleum is a forbidden place for the royal family, all the rulers of the Liu Kingdom in the past are buried. They are upright and upright, so there is no need to spend much effort, just to avoid being remembered by tomb robbers.

But Jingfei's tomb has a lot to say.According to the rumors, this concubine Jing was the Princess Heqin sent by Jing Guo.At that time, the country of Liu was strong and prosperous, and the country of Jing was attached to the country of Liu. In order to show the friendship between the two countries, a princess was sent to marry him.But the lord of Liu country already had a lover, he was dissatisfied with the marriage, so he left Concubine Jing in the cold.He stayed in the Xihe Palace of Calamus all day long, and never set foot in the Changming Palace where Concubine Jing lived.

And the master of the Calamus Palace was not a good match either, she was from a very low family background, relying on her exclusive enjoyment of the holy favor, she didn't have a good look towards Concubine Jing.He was clearly just a noble person, and he didn't even pay homage to Concubine Jing when he saw her, and coaxed the emperor to resist all the arguments and make her his queen.

But the good times didn't last long, and calamus died suddenly on the day of the Empress Liberation Ceremony within a few days of showing off its power, and the cause of death could not be found out.With the attitude that he would rather kill by mistake than let anyone go, the emperor took his anger out on Concubine Jing and ordered 3000 people from Changming Palace and even the entire harem to be buried with the queen.

Concubine Jing was just a concubine until her death.As for Calamus, although he died early, he was still the empress recorded in the Liu Kingdom.Her clothes and body were placed in the Mausoleum of Protecting the Country, where they will enjoy the incense forever.On the other hand, she was suppressed in the extremely dark place on the back and could not leave the tomb for thousands of years.

Concubine Jing was filled with resentment, so far, at night, people passing by in the mountains and fields can hear the voices of many women crying, it is not only Concubine Jing, but also the tears of three thousand women in the harem.

How innocent are they?How wronged?
It's useless.They are ants, and the superiors will live if they want them to live, and die if they want them to die.

The combination of their hatred and Concubine Jing's, created the tomb of Concubine Jing, who later became famous and regarded as the most of the four great wonders of the Liu Kingdom, which cannot be surpassed or suppressed, and can only be isolated.

From then on, Liu country seemed to be cursed, and the country's fortune plummeted.Jing State gradually became stronger and stronger, and it was on the verge of surpassing Liu State. They all said that Concubine Jing's hatred was causing the chaos. Every monarch wanted to get rid of Concubine Jing's grave, but no one could do it.

Hualing lived in Xuanqingzong for more than a month, so she naturally knew that Concubine Jing's tomb was full of resentment, but Tao Yue'er didn't know.

"Will you accompany me?" Tao Yue'er asked Hua Ling expectantly.

"No." Hua Ling shook her head and said solemnly: "This part of the road, you can only walk alone."
