Jiu Ge’s Beloved Spirit

 The bulging hills have vague outlines, almost blending into the heavy night.

The magma was densely covered like a net, and mountains of rotting corpses were piled up on the heavy hills - there should have been a lifeless, desolate and desolate place of flaming magma.

　　A place where humans and ghosts cannot come, where not even a blade of grass can grow, and where it has been burned for thousands of years.

 At this moment, something seemed to be flashing there.

Flickering like a nameless gem buried in heavy ashes, the light suddenly appeared and flashed into her eyes, making her unable to ignore it.

She looked at it, thinking she had seen it wrong. She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, then raised her head to take a closer look.

There was something really shining, shining, bright and white, hidden under the thin layer of cold mist, like a star falling to the ground, shining brightly.

I don’t know what it is, but it’s particularly eye-catching.

The little man who originally planned to wait for his uncle thought about it and looked around again.

"uncle-"

 No one answered her, and her uncle hadn't come back yet.

“…” She weighed and thought for a moment and said to herself, “I’ll just go and take a look… It should be okay…”

 At the age when she is extremely playful and curious about everything, she is always attracted by interesting things.

　　After struggling for only a few seconds, she ran away in the shining direction.

 Keep running, even if your feet are stepping on hot lava, you are not afraid.

Panting, he ran to the shining place, his face red, full of anticipation.

I thought it would be some kind of forgotten treasure, but I didn’t expect it until I got closer and found out—

 The one that shines is a very ordinary looking stone.

It has an unattractive appearance and is completely black. Compared with the cobblestones on the roadside, it is almost indistinguishable. From a distance, it seems to be shining, but from a close distance... it is extremely ordinary, without a trace of light, and it completely blends in with the surrounding gravel, making it impossible to tell who is who.

The little man who thought he had discovered some treasure suddenly fell down, his face full of disappointment.

"what the hell…"

 It’s just a stone?

She didn’t believe in evil, so she knelt down, picked it up and looked at it.

 When the stone was picked up, it was ice cold, but not as hot as other stones in the magma.

 It feels cold to the touch, like cold jade, without any warmth.

The little guy picked up the stone, looked at it, and found nothing special. She puffed up her cheeks and was about to throw it away.

When she threw it away, her eyes fell on the ground inadvertently, and suddenly she looked at the original location of the stone.

　There...I don’t know when, greenery appeared.

A small bud sprouted quietly from the hot magma, in the soil so barren that no grass could grow.

The light greenery, just like this, took root in a place where life could not be born at all, and gradually emerged.

The green buds are as tender as a newborn baby, small and soft, and they look particularly tender and fragile, as if they will fall if touched.

　　The stone that was pressing on it was removed, and it trembled, as if feeling something, its branches slowly straightened up, and it raised its head upward.

The magma beneath it is so hot that even a spirit with a certain level of cultivation would find it unbearable. However, it chose to be born here and take root silently.

 The little man looked at it, slightly stunned.

"This is…"

The clean and pure purple eyes trembled unconsciously, reflecting the seedlings growing in the magma fire on the ground, with a little daze.
