Flower Moon

The boy disappeared.In Tao Yue'er's arms, she melted little by little.

Tao Yue'er didn't know if he was dead.He seemed to leave in a different way than everyone else.When other beasts, or monsters, died, their flesh and blood turned into smoke, flowed into the ground, and disappeared.And the bones remain on this land.So wherever Tao Yue'er walked, he stepped on many bones.Tao Yue'er didn't know how many monsters died in this land. She only felt that the entire continent was annihilated in the heavy smell of blood and resentment of death.

But there was no trace of resentment or unwillingness in the young man's death.Although he seemed to have died of exhaustion, his bones turned into little bits of smoke and disappeared.

He left no trace in this world.Not even a trace.

Just when Tao Yue'er was confused, suddenly, a hand picked her up from the side, and then hung her in mid-air. She jumped back a big step before returning to the ground.At this time, looking back at the same place, a huge moth-like insect was flapping its wings, and a hurricane blew up from the ground.Tao Yue'er's hair was messy. When she turned around, she saw Hua Ling looming in her messy hair.

"Hua Ling, is it you? Have you found me?" Tao Yue'er was surprised.

But before she could be happy for long, another monster attacked one after another.Hua Ling obviously didn't want to tangle with them any more, so she took Tao Yue'er and hurried forward.

"This is not a good place to talk. Let's go to the top of the mountain to talk." After saying that, Hua Ling hugged Tao Yue'er, tapped her toes, and rushed towards the mountain.

Looking back, there are still swarms of monsters at the foot of the mountain, inexhaustible and inexhaustible, fighting in a melee.The chaos did not stop with the boy's death.There is no order in this chaotic world of demons, and no one can stand up and bring them together.But this may be the key to the prehistoric era. If they were conscious and could obey a person's orders, what a terrifying force they would be!
Tao Yue'er recalled how the young man once commanded a group of beasts, and suddenly felt that maybe he was the one who could accomplish this feat, but... I don't know what went wrong in the process, and he died in front of her.

"There is a Bu Kong tree on the mountainside, and ordinary monsters cannot attack it." Hua Ling's voice sounded above her head, and Tao Yue'er wondered: "Bu Kong tree?"

Just as Hua Ling was about to answer, Tao Yue'er suddenly remembered that what he was talking about should be the place where the young man was hiding, and she had taken shelter from the rain there.That is to say, she was tattooed by a young man in the hole of the Fu Kong Tree.

Hua Ling took Tao Yue'er and quickly arrived at the location of the empty tree on the mountainside.But at this time, Tao Yue'er realized that the shape of Fu Kongshu had completely changed into another shape in her eyes.

She had never seen a tree before. It was just a tree, but each leaf had fine spikes and fangs. She could tell that if it could move, blood would flow everywhere it passed.But now the empty tree seems to have a soul.

The thick trunk is its body, the two branches extending to the left and right are its arms, and the dense branches and leaves on the top are like its head.The slightly bent leaves seemed to be nodding to them.

"Do you know him?" Tao Yue'er asked Hua Ling.

Hua Ling shook her head: "I don't know."

"Then why do you know its name?"

"I heard it." Hua Ling said.

Tao Yue'er was stunned when she heard the words. At this time, she heard one or two sighs occasionally coming from the wind, like the murmur of an old man, or the sigh that the deceased had not had time to say before he died.It is saying: "Not empty... not empty..."

It turns out that the tree is speaking for itself.

"I actually heard the trees talking!" Tao Yue'er was surprised to find that she also heard the sound of the big trees, but this had never happened in the past.

"I feel like my body is a little different." Faced with this change, Tao Yue'er didn't know whether she was happy or worried.She found that not only could she hear them talking, but she could also see farther and clearer. Not only the sound of the trees, but also every bone on the ground beneath her feet, she could hear it whenever she wanted to.

It is not the kind of voice that is usually spoken in words, but the voice that comes from deep within their hearts.That's their idea.

"I seem to have gained the same ability as you." Tao Yue'er's heart was filled with turmoil, and her words also had a trembling tone.

She suddenly understood how Hua Ling could hear her inner voice. Now, she seemed to be like him, able to hear the voices of all things!
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Hua Ling's mouth, as if she was praising him, but she didn't praise her completely.

"What's that expression on your face?" Tao Yuer'er asked doubtfully, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hua Ling sighed: "I asked you to kill that monster, why didn't you do it?"

"Did you see it?" Tao Yue'er asked.

"I'm always here, you just can't see me."

After Hua Ling finished speaking, Tao Yue'er's expression suddenly froze, and then turned crimson: "Did you see it? Then... then last night..." Did he also see the way she was being pushed to the ground by the young man to get a tattoo?

"I saw it." Hua Ling said calmly.

Tao Yueer: "..."

Tao Yue'er was completely shocked. She spent the whole night in such a humiliating posture, while Hua Ling was watching from the side. Why didn't he help her?
Tao Yue'er suddenly felt a little angry.

She didn't know whether she was angry at Hua Ling for not helping her, or because she was angry at Hua Ling for letting the boy carve tattoos on her body, or maybe she just didn't want Hua Ling to see her under another man.All in all, she doesn't know how to face Hua Ling now...

"Although I saw it, I can't help you." After a long time, Hua Ling said again.

"why?"

"Because this tattoo is very important to you."

"What's important?"

"It can help you gain the power to hear the voices of all things."

After Hua Ling finished speaking, Tao Yue'er suddenly understood.Why does she feel that today's world is different from the past? It turns out that the crux of everything lies in this tattoo!
"This is not an ordinary tattoo, it is a curse." Hua Ling said: "I don't know if this is right or not, but I think not everyone can have this opportunity, and I didn't expect you to be able to do it." Get this ability back without actively killing the boy, but no matter what the process is, the ending is good. The boy is dead, and you are reborn."

At this time, Tao Yue'er didn't quite understand what it meant to be reborn, until Hua Ling said, "Try high-fiving this tree."

Tao Yue'er wanted to ask why, but when facing Hua Ling, she didn't say anything. She just did what he said.

She raised her right hand and hit the big tree with a palm. Then, with a confused and confused look, she saw the fukong tree being burned in the flames after a loud noise...
