Chapter 562: Soul Returns to Hometown and the Soul-Binding Flower
Chapter 562 Returning to Hometown - Soul Binding Flower
After this farewell, I am afraid that I will never return, and I don't know whether I will live or die.
Although the two of them were reluctant to part, the war was urgent, and Su was a man. When the country was in trouble, he had no choice but to defend his country.
The two promised each other that Hua Yan would wait for him if Su came back alive.
Su said that he would marry her when the war was over.
On the day of separation, Hua Yan broke a newly planted flower for Su, and asked Su to take the flower with him, just as a thought, and take it out to look at it when he missed her.
Su knew that if he took the flower with him, it would probably wither in a few days, but he couldn't bear to refuse Hua Yan, so he took the flower and rushed to the battlefield.
Strangely, the flower had no roots, but it lay in Su's arms for several days, and the flower did not wither.
Su was surprised, so he took good care of the flower and looked at it whenever he had time.
When they arrived at the border, Su planted the flower in the camp.
Every time the camp was moved, Su transplanted the flower.
This battle lasted for four years, and the flower was transplanted countless times and was still alive.
Seeing that the war was about to end, Su thought that he and Hua could go back alive.
But in the last battle, there was a spy in the army, and countless soldiers died tragically.
Countless soldiers were buried on the battlefield, Su also died, and the flower he held in his arms also withered that day.
The army returned triumphantly, and Hua Yan was waiting for her lover with joy, but she only waited for the news of Su's death, and she couldn't even see his bones.
Hua Yan was very sad, and she didn't believe it in her heart, so she rushed to the border at night to find Su.
Even if he died, she would bring his bones back.
There were too many people who died in the war, and there were bones everywhere, and it was impossible to find which body Su's bones were.
If Su was not found alive, his bones could not be found either.
Hua Yan sat on the battlefield and cried for a day and a night, and then fainted from crying.
When Hua Yan woke up, she found herself in a sea of flowers. The bleak battlefield turned into a purple sea of flowers overnight.
In the sea of flowers, Hua Yan saw the souls of thousands of soldiers floating on it, including Su's soul.
The wind blew, the sea of flowers swayed, and thousands of voices sounded in her ears. Hua Yan heard their requests, they wanted to go home.
Since then, Hua Yan has become a porter on this battlefield, sending the flowers on the battlefield back to their hometowns one by one.
The souls of thousands of soldiers returned to their hometowns, and the leaves fell to their roots.
Since then, the purple flower got its name.
However, in the Xuanmen classics, the soul returning to the hometown has another name, called the soul-binding flower.
As the name suggests, this flower will automatically bind the souls of people who died within a hundred meters around it. If there is no one who knows how to release the soul, the bound souls will only be released when the flowers wither.
However, the soul-binding flower has a long flowering period, not in four seasons or time periods, but in years.
The longest-blooming soul-binding flower can bloom for a hundred years.
Originally, Gu Zhiqi just wanted to go to the place where Meng Xiao "died" to see if he could use the formation to restore the death scene, or explore the whereabouts of the soul.
Unexpectedly, he saw this soul-binding flower.
There is indeed a soul trapped in this flower, and it is a living soul.
However, it is not certain whether the soul is Meng Xiao's.
After Gu Zhiqi took out the flower, he put it on the ground, formed a few hand seals, and hit the flower.
Soon, a dazzling light appeared on the purple flower, and then a phantom floated out from it.
Gu Zhiqi looked at the phantom floating above the purple flower and raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Who are you?" The phantom floating out of the purple flower looked at Gu Zhiqi with a little vigilance, and then asked tentatively, "Can you see me?"
