Everyone entered the mist and came to the stone monument in the cave.
The dragon guard stood with his hands behind his back, standing in front of the cracked stone tablet and watching silently, with an indifferent expression.
The corpse next to the stone monument was highly decomposed.
"Seven hundred and sixty-one..."
Looking at the numbers on the stone tablet, Bai Buai's eyes were complicated.
Entering Phoenix Mountain this time, time will be set back to the moment seven hundred and sixty-one days ago...witnessing the death of the second sister Bai Fenghuang.
I remember that day when he heard the news of the death of his second sister Bai Fenghuang, it was like a bolt from the blue.
But now in the face of the truth, all emotions turned into sighs.
"who is she?"
The dragon guard turned around and looked at Ye Yaoyao with a frown.
As a member of the Tiangang Disha, his intelligence capabilities are actually not as good as those of the Shadow Guards. Especially for some powerful figures in the world, he cannot distinguish them at a glance like Nie Ying.
Bai Ruyue didn't wait for Li Nanke to speak and said first: "I am the one who came to protect me."
Entering Phoenix Mountain is a confidential matter, and only the imperial court can access it.
Ye Yaoyao is a member of the Jianghu community and has a sensitive identity.
If Li Nanke said that he was the one who brought her here, she might get herself into trouble. Only she, the princess, has enough power to bring outsiders here.
The dragon guard hesitated for a moment and said respectfully:
"Your Highness Princess, it will be very dangerous to enter Phoenix Mountain this time. The Emperor specially gave instructions and said that he does not want you to take risks."
Li Nanke raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
In the oral instructions given by the Supreme Emperor, he did not strongly prevent the eldest princess from taking risks, but used the word "do not want". Obviously he knew his daughter very well.
If the dragon guards are forced to block it, given the eldest princess's character, it will only cause trouble.
"Don't worry, I will be responsible if anything happens."
Bai Ruyue spoke forcefully.
The dragon guard seemed to have expected this outcome, so he stopped trying to persuade her and looked at Ye Yaoyao again, asking: "Can she enter Phoenix Mountain?"
"Let's try it."
Bai Ruyue was also unsure and gave an ambiguous answer.
The dragon guard nodded slightly, took out an exquisite dragon-shaped talisman and handed it to the eldest princess, and said: "Your Highness, this amulet must be worn on your body, and you must not give it to anyone else. Remember."
"Is this the Queen's piece of dragon jade?"
Bai Ruyue's beautiful eyes were surprised.
The Dragon Guard said: "It was specially sent by the Queen."
Bai Ruyue curled her lips and held the dragon jade in her hand. A warm current flowed through her heart, and Lin Weiyang's figure could not help but appear in her mind.
After everything was prepared, everyone entered the cracks in the stone tablet one by one.
Ye Yaoyao was the third one to enter.
After seeing the woman disappear, the dragon guard's eyes flashed, and he turned his head and whispered something to the strong woman next to him. The latter nodded and left quietly.
…………
The sky was covered with large, thick black clouds, drifting erratically in the very muggy sky.
It was dark night in Phoenix Mountain at this time.
In about half an hour, it will be the third watch.
Bai Buai looked up at the dark sky, rubbed his arms and said, "What I hate the most is the middle of the night. I don't feel safe at all."
"Would you like to wait at the Taoist temple?"
Bai Ruyue looked at the Taoist temple in the distance with her beautiful eyes and asked everyone.
Li Nanke looked at Shangguanguan, "Are you going?"
Seeing your enemy die again is a very special thing.
Moreover, when the monster White Phoenix comes out of the Red Rain World, there is a high probability that it will appear in the Taoist Temple. It is a good place to wait and wait.
"Do you think we can still change the past?"
Shangguan Guan suddenly asked.
Li Nanke shook his head, "I don't know."
Li Nanke is too lazy to think about these issues about time and space travel now.
The last time he thought the past could not be changed, he ended up coming into contact with someone from two years ago. But when he really thought it had changed, he found that nothing had changed.
It's as if everything is a well-rehearsed script and fate has already been determined.
Time is circling, but it should finally come to an end.
This kind of scientific but non-scientific, theological and non-theological discussion will only make people’s brains explode.
"Even if we change, we can't save Xing'er, unless we save Bai Phoenix. In this case, maybe the monster won't appear." Bai Ruyue said lightly.
"save?"
A sarcasm flashed across Shangguan Guan's lips.
Back then, he spent a lot of effort to make that bitch have a mental breakdown and commit suicide. How could he possibly save her now?
It doesn't matter if he turns into a monster. If he can kill you once, he can kill you a second time.
Ye Yaoyao raised her head and looked at the dark sky.
The night wind blew up the gauze scarf on her bamboo hat, revealing her pure and beautiful face.
Bai Buai, who happened to see this scene, was surprised and said: "Huh? Why are you blindfolded? And you are looking up at the sky, can you see it?"
Ye Yaoyao ignored him and stared at the night.
Occasionally, the moonlight casts down from the cracks in the torn clouds, shining in the quiet mountains and forests.
Under the clouds, a huge heart full of cracks floated.
The heart emits a thin layer of light.
It's like dividing this world into two time and space.
And no one else can see this scene.
"Then let's go to the Taoist temple and wait." Li Nanke made the decision.
A group of people came to the Taoist temple.
The dilapidated and deserted Taoist temple looked a bit cold under the dark night, as if it were a gathering place for mountain spirits and ghosts.
A dozen fireflies floated like sparkling will-o'-the-wisps.
After entering the Taoist temple, no one said anything, quietly waiting for the third watch to arrive...waiting for the plot of Bai Phoenix's suicide to unfold again.
Time passes slowly in minutes and seconds, trying to create a tense atmosphere.
The chilly night wind kept blowing the window paper, making a rustling sound.
Bai Buai was quite nervous and rubbed his hands from time to time.
I originally planned to get closer to Ye Yaoyao for a sense of security, but in the end I didn't have the courage to get close, so I simply sat next to Li Nanke.
Shangguanguan stood in front of the incomplete statue, staring at the dark beams.
His eyes were sometimes painful and sometimes cold.
The small beam took the lives of two people, one he loved the most and the other he hated the most.
He held the sachet tightly in his hand.
What we hold together is the lost love.
After a long time, a sound of footsteps came faintly from a distance.
Everyone's spirits were tense.
"coming."
Li Nanke stood up and looked towards the door.
But at this time, he discovered that the Taoist temple door that had been opened deliberately before was actually closed.
I don't know when it was closed.
Others have also noticed this anomaly.
"Didn't the door open just now?" Bai Buai swallowed, huddled behind Li Nanke, and asked in a low voice: "Is it the second sister who has been here for two years? Or is it the monster?"
No one could answer his question, they could only stare at the door.
Squeak——
The dilapidated door slowly opened.
A slender and petite figure appeared at the door.
The other party was holding a windproof oil lamp in his hand.
The faint light dispersed some of the darkness in the Taoist temple, and at the same time, it also reflected the girl's plain skirt and the embroidered shoes peeking out from the bottom of the skirt.
It seems...not White Phoenix?
Seeing this figure and the cheap ordinary skirt, Li Nanke and Shangguan Guan frowned.
Could it be that before Bai Fenghuang committed suicide two years ago, someone else came in?
Then why didn't she stop Bai Fenghuang from committing suicide?
Carrying a basket behind her, the girl carefully stepped through the door.
But just after taking two steps, she seemed to notice something. She vaguely felt a figure shaking, so she subconsciously picked up the oil lamp and leaned forward.
The oil lamp swayed slightly, and the figures of Li Nanke and others were vaguely outlined.
"Huh? She's not my second sister!?"
After realizing it, Bai Buai looked at the strange little face illuminated by the dim light and suddenly shouted in surprise.
"ah!!"
Bai Buai's shouts also frightened the girl.
The girl screamed, turned around and ran away.
The oil lamp fell to the ground in panic, and the flame of the lamp shook even more.
As a result, after just two steps, the girl accidentally tripped over a piece of wood on the ground and fell heavily to the ground. The wild vegetables and medicinal materials in the basket on her back spilled all over the floor.
Except for Ye Yaoyao, who was always calm, everyone else was stunned by this sudden turn of events.
I didn't understand what was going on for a while.
She can actually see us!
Li Nanke was surprised.
It seems that after the last explosion of "Heart of Red Rain", there is no longer a time and space barrier.
Seeing the girl lying motionless on the ground, timid Bai Buai couldn't suppress his curiosity and crept over, picked up a branch and poked the girl's soft body.
The girl didn't react at all and lay motionless.
"She...she hit her head on the stone and seemed to have fainted."
After some observation, Bai Buai turned to Li Nanke and said.
Bai Ruyue picked up the oil lamp on the ground and put it in front of the girl.
The girl had a slightly delicate face and dark skin. She had indeed passed out and there was blood on her forehead.
At this moment, another burst of footsteps came from outside the Taoist temple.
The footsteps sounded a little messy.
"Take her and hide her!"
Shangguan Guan's eyes flashed, he rushed forward, put out the oil lamp in Bai Ruyue's hand, and shouted in a low voice.
Seeing that Bai Buai was dazed, he directly picked up the girl and hid her behind the broken pillar.
Li Nanke saw this scene and murmured:
"Okay, now I know why this girl didn't stop Bai Fenghuang from committing suicide."
