More than three years have passed, and the tragedy of that war can still be seen in Lingnan today.

The burned land, the remaining weapons, the incomplete armor...

It reminds everyone that there were countless soldiers who fought bravely against the enemy on this land.

Nangong Xu was at the highest point in Lingnan, overlooking everything below. This position was where he commanded the battle and where he was injured.

Standing here, the memories of those years came to him like a tide, violently impacting his heart...

"I'm sorry...I couldn't take you home..."

Nangong Xu's voice was hoarse, filled with deep depression and self-blame.

"This is not your fault. If you want to blame it, you can only blame those who started the war..."

Dongfang Li stood beside Nangong Xu, holding his hand tightly, feeling his trembling...

"Over the years, I thought I had forgotten the pain of that year, and I also thought I could let go of the resentment in my heart, but Ah Li... It wasn't until I stood here, looking at everything in front of me, that I realized that those painful memories The resentment in my heart is just buried in the corner of my heart. I am too cowardly to face it, or even dare to remember..."

Nangong Xu stared with scarlet eyes, filled with anger and vulnerability that he had never seen before.

"The dead are gone, and the living are the ones who suffer the most, aren't they?"

"Axu, I asked Yan Jun and others to choose two positions in advance and dig two big holes. Let's let them rest in peace together..."

Dongfang Li's voice, with healing tenderness, gently floated into Nangong Xu's ears and reached straight to the bottom of his heart.

"Ali...thank you..."

Nangong Xu hugged Dongfang Li and closed his wet eyes.

Under the leadership of Nangong Xu and Dongfang Li, a group of people began to search everywhere. It might be incomplete armor, maybe someone's weapon, and some clothes that were not completely rotten, but more... they were still white bones... There are those of our own people, and there are those of enemies...

"That's all we can do for them."

Nangong Xu looked at the bones piled up in two large pits with sadness, his fists clenched and cracked.

"Yan Jun, take people to fill in the soil."

Dongfang Li couldn't bear to see Nangong Xu sad, and directly ordered Yan Jun to bury the bones.

"Yes."

Yan Jun and others took the tools they had prepared and began to backfill the soil they had dug out previously.

"Namo Amitabha night, Duotagadu night, Duodita night, Amilidubhavi, Amiliduo Sidanbhavi, Amiliduo Vikalanda, Amiliduo Vikalanda, Ga Minigagana, Chidokali Sahaha~"

The rebirth curse sounded, and Dongfang Li's voice, accompanied by the spiritual power of King Jiaoteng, lingered above the bones.

"This is the rebirth mantra. I hope they can be reborn in the paradise world and no longer suffer the sufferings in this world."

--

"Everyone should look carefully and don't miss a single thing."

After the grief, everyone devoted their energy to finding the bloody dead wood.

"How did Ali come up with this idea?"

Nangong Xu held Dongfang Li with one hand and pulled him with a stick in the other.

"The dead blood tree is a half-creature of the Bone Corpse Mountain. Where it is born, there must be many bones, and the battlefield is undoubtedly the best place to choose. I have asked people to go to other places to check before, including the frontier we visited before. , but the environment is not suitable, and in the end I can only find it here..."

"What if I can't find it here either?"

"Then I will personally build a mountain of bones and corpses..."

Dongfang Li blurted out without thinking.

"Ali won't..."

"In the past, if I couldn't find it here, I might have given up, but now, for you, I will really make a place like this, the kind that I can do myself..."

"Fool... it's not worth carrying a lifetime of infamy for me."

Nangong Xu let go of the hand holding the wooden stick and tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears.

"What others say is their business, what they do is my business, whether it is worth it or not is our business..."

"fool……"

Nangong Xu pulled Dongfang Li into his arms and hugged her gently.

"The owner..."

Yan Jun looked at the scene in front of him and quickly stopped in his tracks. Standing there was neither advancing nor retreating.

Just when he was in a dilemma, Dongfang Li spoke up to save him from suffering.

"What did you find?"

"Owner, I have searched all around here and found no similar vegetation."

"Have you searched them all?"

Dongfang Li was also a little surprised. Do you really want to find a place by yourself?

"It's all... wrong. I haven't seen the cave I discovered over there yet. I will go there right away!"

"Wait a moment."

Dongfang Li called out to stop Yan Jun who was about to turn around and leave.

"Since that's the only place left, let's go together. There are snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the cave. I'm here, and I can at least keep you alive."

"Thank you, the host."

"My family, why are you being polite?"

Dongfang Li and Nangong Xu walked in the front. When they were at the entrance of the cave, Yan Jun took the initiative to hand the torch in his hand to Nangong Xu.

Nangong Xu glanced at him, took the torch, and nodded to him.

"Let's go. After entering, everyone should be careful. Don't touch things in the cave, and don't make loud noises. If you encounter problems, just stand still and wait for me and the prince to come."

Dongfang Li asked again worriedly. After hearing their responses, he pushed aside the vegetation at the entrance and entered the cave with Nangong Xu.

There were many bulges on the walls of the cave, and they would bump into them if they were not careful, so the two of them walked slowly and observed the cave carefully.

"It must have been excavated in a hurry. Look here, there are obviously traces of swords."

Nangong Xu pointed at a scratch in front of him.

"Although this cave is man-made, if you look at it, it doesn't seem like it was formed a few years ago. Judging from the marks, it should be earlier."

Dongfang Li looked at the sword marks that Nangong Xu pointed out to her. Some of them were obviously weathered.

"So...someone has been here before? What are they here for?"

Nangong Xu frowned and his eyes became more solemn.

"No matter what they're doing here, we're here for a purpose and it's clear."

Dongfang Li no longer has the mind to care about anything else. He only thinks about whether they can find what they need here - dead blood wood.

"What if they come here to hunt for treasure?"

Yan Jun followed them and couldn't help but muttered.

"If they are really treasure hunting, then you have to keep an eye on this place. When one day our April Building runs out of money, you might want to come here and dig some back."

Originally this was just a joke from Dongfang Li, but he didn't expect that in the near future, they would really take away boxes after boxes of gold and silver treasures from here...
