She knew that Su Bai didn't die. Although the body left here was a corpse, his soul was still there. As long as he found the soul, there was still a chance to revive him.

Maybe the chances were slim, maybe it was impossible, but she still decided to try.

Even... to dig out my past; even... to face the deepest fear in my heart.

Lianhua walked up to Su Bai's tombstone, bowed, then kicked his tombstone to pieces, stuck her hands into the soil, and started digging.

She wanted to go back with Su Bai's body.

……

When the spring is cold and the moon is full.

The full moon shines with light, and on the rugged path in the mountains, you can see the sparkling light reflected on every step.

Walking here is like climbing a ladder step by step.

The slender girl carried a dead body on her back and walked with difficulty, moving up step by step, climbing step by step, her back was illuminated by the moonlight, casting a long oblique shadow among the lush forests.

Lianhua softly sang an old nursery rhyme: "Let's go... let's go..."

The crisp voice was not high-pitched, and the low-pitched voice echoed, dispelling the tranquility of the night. On this quiet mountain road where there were no insects singing, only this clear and ethereal voice echoed.

She stopped walking, mottled shadows were cast in front of her, the mountain road had already passed halfway, and the road ahead...was the last stretch.

The contiguous vermilion torii gates stand on the mountain road, forming a row of columns. It should be a pretty majestic scene in the daytime, but it looks chilling in the night.

...Seeing the torii means that the shrine is not far away...

Lianhua knew it well, she suppressed her inner emotions and continued humming the song.

"Going forward~ If there is a trail... the trail to His Majesty the Tenjin... can I pass it?"

"People who have nothing to do... are not allowed to pass... to celebrate the child's seventh birthday... come to worship the spell..."

"It's easy when you go, but when you return..."

The moonlight was covered by dark clouds, casting a shadow, Lianhua's steps stopped, and there was a tremor in her voice: "Fear..."

She tightly held the young man's already cold hand, raised her eyes, and continued to sing the passage song and walked forward: "My heart is afraid... can I pass..."

She hummed the song over and over again, and finally, relying on the passage song, she passed through the torii gate and came to the mountain platform with a wide view.

In front of you is a shrine that has been abandoned for many years. This is a long-forgotten site, where the gods were once enshrined.

Now that it was abandoned, it was hit by a strong earthquake, the earth was already full of cracks, and red Bana flowers were blooming everywhere.

This is the place Lianhua is least willing to return to, as her worst nightmare is hidden here.

But she still had to come, in order to save Su Bai, she had to get it back...Take it back, Wanhua Mirror!

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

As a child born with spiritual power, she was regarded as a child of God and was sent to a shrine to be raised since she was a child. She has never experienced family affection.

Son of God, in the backward era, is not a good title, this kind of young girls with strong spiritual power will be offered as sacrifices to the gods.

Such things are not uncommon. Cruel and bloody human sacrifices are extremely inefficient rituals, but for people who fear mystery, this is the only way.

As the child of God, Lianhua's duty is to serve as a sacrifice to the shrine's utensils passed down from generation to generation. She is locked in a closed space and sealed together with this utensil. Each seal can last for a hundred years.

It was born for this reason, just like Baiju in the Witch of the Crow, but Baiju is better than Lianhua, at least the former has an agreement with Kunihiko Aso, and has a sincere emotion that can be stored in the heart, while the latter does not... Lianhua When she was offered as a sacrifice, she didn't even have time to resist, and was thrown into the sealed dungeon so easily as a sacrifice.

Ironically, in this seal, she did not see God, but only a scroll that could not be opened.

The sealed place here may not have needed to exist from the very beginning.

Lianhua persisted in this empty, silent and dark seal for five days, and her spiritual power was about to dry up eventually.

Cold, thirsty, hungry, all kinds of feelings made her feel as if she was in hell, and what was even more maddening was the relentless passage of time, and she didn't know how long it had passed. In this deserted sealed stone room, She could only hear her own voice, any sound would hit the stone wall and echo back, indifferent, silent, empty and lonely, the experience of these few days became her nightmare in this life.

In the end, Lianhua took down the enshrined scroll with the last bit of strength, she tore the scroll off, and then lost her will.

She thought she should die, but she did not usher in death, but fell into a deep sleep and scene under the influence of some kind of force.

In the sealed stone room, Lianhua slept alone for a hundred years, sleeping and waiting in the dark dungeon until an accident.

That day the earth shook, the earthquake hit, and the mountain collapsed. Only then did she wake up from the catastrophe of the earth-shattering disaster, and came to the outside world through the broken stone wall.

Leaving from the dark world, she returned to the world through the path guided by the moonlight.

She was happy at first and ran barefoot, but soon this joy faded along with the scene in front of her.

A long time passed, maybe decades, maybe a century, until this area was forgotten.

The shrine has been abandoned, and no one comes here, even the village below the mountain has been reduced to ruins and no one lives in it, and the clothes she was wearing turned into dust.

The girl who was confused in the world became a homeless wanderer, and she didn't know the reason. She spent a hundred years in the seal, and wandered in the world for several years, but the growth of age did not bring any changes in appearance. Changes, forever fixed in this petite appearance.

She wandered for a long time, met many people, encountered many things, but became more and more confused about why she lived, living alone, wandering alone, without a home, without relatives, what a painful thing... She must have understood Mizuhara Koko's mood, so she gave the ultimate relief to all the pain that this resentful spirit embraced.

Lianhua didn't want to come back here, she resisted, feared, and dreaded in her heart... The shrine here is her lifelong nightmare, the original origin of her twisted life, if possible, she doesn't want to come back for the rest of her life, even if she dies A foreign land becomes a dry bone.
