Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 22 The cold armor under the monument should not be forgotten
  The wind and snow are long, pouring into the vast monument.

Hearing Shui Sheng's words, Lu Chenran's heart agitated slightly, and his eyes once again looked in the direction where the woman in white clothes had gone.

The ground was covered with thick snow and there were no traces.

In this lonely forest of steles, the scene just now seemed like a blur. Looking at the ten-foot-high monument, there were no traces of burning sacrifices.
  That woman is not a human being or a demon?

That's a ghost.

This is the first time Lu Chenran has met a ghost since he came to this world. Perhaps it is because of the ‘Seven Apertures’ he just obtained. His eyes and eyes are connected to the Yinshen, and he can see another world?
  Seeing Mr. Da next to him suddenly speechless, Shui Sheng blinked, raised his head and asked:

"Mr. Da, what's wrong with you? What kind of woman?"

Lu Chenran came back to his senses, leaned down, touched his head and said softly:
  "It's nothing. I saw it wrong. Let's keep walking."

The wind and snow are rolling irregularly in this forest of steles. The snow that has accumulated over the years shows that no one has been to this forest of steles for a long time.

The snow fox on the shoulder jumped down, with a solemn face, and walked on the snow, leaving plum blossoms all over the ground to show respect for the soldiers in the Forest of Steles.

Lu Chenran walked very slowly. For some reason, the coldness that arose in his heart when he passed by this place gradually dissipated as he got closer to the center of the tomb.

Buried under this square stone monument standing in the wind and snow are the bones of strangers.

Perhaps the woman who just burned paper to pay homage has her relatives lying in this Fangling Tomb.

He once traveled thousands of miles to the northern border, spilled blood, and buried his bones deep in this uncared-for place.

What is ridiculous is that the bones of the soldiers who left home and died fighting in foreign lands for the sake of their country and people were buried in the tombs of foreign lands for many years. However, because the mirages recorded the tragic war that year, they were gradually regarded as evil by the surrounding county people. The upper body is frightened due to reasons.
  In the end, the few people who burned paper to pay homage were not people, but the 'sneaky' thing they were avoiding?
  How could something evil be intruding on this majestic tomb?

Lu Chenran took a deep breath and walked slowly to the ten-foot-long monument. He touched the marks eroded by the wind and snow with his fingers and read the words engraved on the monument:

"An Qi, whose courtesy name is Daoyun, is from Zhong County, Shu County."

"At the age of sixteen, he followed his father's lead and fought more than thirty battles. The female body became more powerful than the male body."

"At the age of twenty-four, he rescued the Northern Territory with 18,000 men under his command. He was regarded as the emperor's harem and vowed not to retreat. All 18,000-level troops died in Qingping County. Later, the emperor posthumously awarded the title of Marquis of the Northern Territory. .”

"At the time of his death, he was still unmarried."

"."

After reading this, Lu Chenran took a deep breath, and his pupils became even more solemn when looking at this monument.

This heroine of the former dynasty was buried in this frozen land at the age of twenty-four before she even had any love between a man and a woman.
  But the passage of time gradually erased this amazingly talented and beautiful woman, allowing history to seal her in this cold tomb.

Throughout her life, no one paid homage to her in this tomb.

Even the inscription on the inscription is blurred.
  The winter morning sun finally rose, and its blazing light made the tens of thousands of stone steles in this forest of steles shine brightly.

The snow on the pine trees fell slowly, and the rising light was filled with afterglow. Through the gaps in the branches, it cast a little bit of dappled light and shadow on the ten-foot-high monument.

Lu Chenran clasped his hands behind his back, but his heart was ups and downs.

At this moment, the forest of steles created on the ancient battlefield was as blazing in his heart as the rising sun.

He turned slightly sideways and his voice seemed to be muttering:

"This shouldn't be like this. They shouldn't be forgotten."

Here, there is silence.

Then, Lu Chenran took a long breath, suppressed the outburst in his chest, and lifted up his robe and stood up as the sun rose.

The snow on the ground turned into snow water, floating and shining.

Little bits of snow water, under the control of the 'Water Expelling Technique', melted into the dust and turned into thick liquid ink that spread out, rolling up the misty and snowy souls, and then spread.
  Two lines of large characters sprinkled down:

"Sleep in the open air and eat in the open without giving up, and drink blood instead of rouge."

"Don't say that a woman is not a heroic being. Who would say that a beautiful woman would not be a marquis?"

"."

After doing all this, he leaned down, touched Shui Sheng's head, and said softly:

"Thank you Shuisheng for bringing me here. Let's not disturb their rest. It's time to go."

"."

Shuisheng was stunned at this scene. He sniffled, his heart was pounding, he swallowed hard, and said: "Mr. Da, are you an immortal?"

Lu Chenran smiled and said:

"How could I be an immortal? It's just a little trick to blind my eyes."

"Let's go back"

After that, they held Shui Sheng's hand and walked out of the forest of steles silently, one behind the other.

The snow fell, covering the traces they had left along the way, and then disappeared into the wind and snow.

Just after Lu Chenran left, a thick smoke dispersed, and then the woman in white appeared leisurely again.

She frowned, her bare hands were like snow. The sunlight reflected on her body was extremely cold and elegant. The light reflected slantingly on her cheeks. It was unclear whether the morning light illuminated her or she illuminated the morning light.

That beautiful face was just like her expression, indifferent, like smoke trees in the wilderness or orchids in the empty valley.

She just stared coldly at the retreating figure of the man in fox fur, then turned around and silently looked at the words mentioned under the monument.
  After a long time, she said softly:
  "Thank you."

This was the first time she had received a memorial tribute, even though it was just a poem.

Then, she took out the stacks of paper money from her arms again, and let them burn fiercely in the snowy sky. The burned ashes dissipated in the wind and flew.

Her long, snow-white hair was floating in the air. Her face, which was always indifferent, smiled softly, and the corners of her mouth curved.

——This moment is like the ice and snow melting for the first time, and spring flowers blooming.

"My soldiers, Dao Yun is here to see you."

"."

she smiled.

After paying Shuisheng a few more big bucks, Lu Chenran held the snow fox in his arms and walked towards the location of the caravan. It was still more than ten miles away from the caravan, and he should be able to leave at noon. arrive.

Shuisheng held the big money given by Mr. Da tightly in his hands, wiped his nose, counted it on his lap, and said with joy:

"Hey, seven big bucks is enough to buy a lot of candied haws."

"."

Holding the big money tightly, he jumped all the way home.

But in my mind, I still kept recalling the scene where the gentleman wrote with melted ink of snow and water just now.

Just like that, I returned home panting all the way, pushed open the door with a "bang", and rushed into the kitchen, startling my mother who was cooking.

"Mom! I met a big gentleman today. Hehe, I took him there. Well, he gave me a lot of money!"

"."

His mother came over with a smile on her face, took out a handkerchief and wiped his nose:

"Don't worry, tell me carefully, what kind of gentleman are you?"

"Where did you take Mr. Da?"

"."

Shuisheng stuck out his tongue, then remained silent.

Zhizi Moruo's mother felt bad when she saw Shui Sheng's silent expression. She quickly looked at him and said:

"Shui Sheng, where did you take Mr. Big?"

Shuisheng hesitated, looking at his mother with evasive eyes.

At this time, Shui Sheng's father's face changed, and he looked a little unhappy, and he quickly asked:

"Shui Sheng, tell the truth to dad!"

"Did you lead Mr. Big to the ancient battlefield? Have you gone in!?"

"."
