Sound • Clear bone

Fengkui Mountain, Xuan Ice Cave.

Sunlight fell from the gap above the cave and shone on the thousand-year-old ice with its teeth intertwined, reflecting a blue light.

Someone walked in.

The temperature here is very low, but the girl is wearing only a thin plain color, with loose hair and bare feet, slowly walking on the ice. Suddenly, the sunlight disappeared, and the light in the cave became darker and dimmer, and finally there was no light at all.

Feng Wei felt as if her body had been swallowed up by darkness, leaving only her spiritual consciousness here to feel the cold and fear.

"Who are you?" What do you want? ”

Then questioning rang in her ears.

"Concubine Fengwei, who wants a single evil organ."

"Magic Harp's evil? Do you know what it's going to take? ”

"You know, with bones as frames, tendons as strings, hair as bows..."

"Ha, to put it simply. That's not an ordinary human vein, and it's not something you can get by killing one or two people at random. ”

"So Feng Wei came here to hope that the gods would help her."

"Gods?" The voice burst out laughing, and then it seemed to drift away a little—

"Why do you want to be alone?"

She took a deep breath, "I heard that the sound of the evil piano can make Jin Yu cry, and The stone nodded." Feng Wei is a musician who just wants to get the best instrument in the world. ”

She gave the answer, but the answer to her was a long silence.

"What a stupid excuse..." Finally his voice rose again, "but I'm not interested in your real purpose." ”

She frowned and clenched her hands.

"Last question, what price can you pay to achieve this wish?"

In the darkness, the voice asked in a tone of anticipation.

(i)

The world is ten continents, Luzhou is in the north, its western territory has a large mountain continuously, and the Twilight Sky City is deep in the mountains, dominating this side.

In seven days, it will be the birthday of Song Jing, the lord of the Twilight City, so these days the city has reached the most lively time, and tonight the hall is entertained by Haojie from the north - the Lord of the Northern Realm Sent Rare Blue Blood Coral as a birthday gift.

At the table, Song Jing toasted to everyone one by one, pushed the cup to change the cup, and smiled triumphantly.

Hua Dye looked at his figure and poured himself a glass of wine.

Suddenly, a piece of music passed by her ears, and she looked up in surprise.

This sudden music disrupted the performance of a group of musicians, Song Jingyi frowned, asked people to go out to see, and it was not long before the guards dragged a young girl in.

"The lord of the city forgives! Forgive the lord of the city! The girl hugged the basket and kept prostrating her head in horror.

Song Lang, hua dyeing left his seat at this time, and turned to Song Jingying, this is a good day, why should you be unhappy for a? And spare her young ignorance, let the dyeing dance and then help the guests, okay? ”

Song Jing looked at her with some surprise, and then said happily, "If you have to dye your clothes and dance, the big things will be counted." ”

The crowd cheered.

"Song Lang said it." She smiled and gave the girl a wink, who immediately flew away and retreated.

Then she went to change into a dance dress, and when she came back, she added more than a few giant candles to the hall, and the brilliant candle flame reflected the pearls and jade embellished by her sideburns, which was really full of light and bright.

By the time the feast ended, it was late at night.

Song Jing drank too much, she helped him to stagger into the room, he fell on the bed, but one hand was still tightly wrapped around her waist.

"Dye, have you seen what those people think of you?" Haha, floral dyeing clothes, Luzhou's first maiko, who does not envy the old man! The hot snort sprayed on her face with a heavy smell of wine, and she frowned and did not overdo it, but Song Jing pinched her chin and pulled her face.

"You're so beautiful..."

Before the words could be heard, the man crushed her to the bed...

After Song Jing went to sleep, she went back to her bedroom, and when she was bathing, the maid came in to report that the girl she had saved at the banquet had been kneeling outside for several hours.

She thought for a moment, "Let her in. ”

When the girl came in, she had finished changing her clothes, and sat by the window with her wet hair, looking out into the dark night, the moon had fallen, and only the stars were full of stars.

The girl knelt down lightly.

"Name?"

"Feng wei, phoenix phoenix..."

"Needless to say," she waved her hand, "I saved you, but I thought the music you played at that time was good..."

After hesitating, she asked:

"Play it again."

The night starlight shattered, the sound of the basket was light, and the familiar tune flowed out from between the ten fingers of Feng Wan's dexterous plucking, and the sound of the basket was extremely beautiful. And she leaned on the window sill and listened quietly, closed her eyes, and those memories that were like water-like green pings emerged.

Piecemeal, still heartbreakingly beautiful.

(ii)

Yu Mo, Yu Mo! No, Yun Xin was entangled in blood!

Looking at the teenager's panicked back, she couldn't help but sneak a smile...

Well, don't be angry, I'm just teasing you, you've also got the blood vine, which is a good thing to increase your power.

Yu Mo, Yu Mo...

Don't you believe it? How can you believe in me?

Yu Mo...

Messy memories alternated before her eyes.

"——!" Suddenly, a sharp whistle cut off the music of the hoop, "Madam! The maid ran in panic, "Someone broke into the inner courtyard!" ”

"Panic what?! A hairy thief is also worth fearing like this! She drank away from the crowd, and then looked out the window—

Raised an eyebrow slightly.

In the inner courtyard, the guards had surrounded the intruding men in black.

"If the party is small, he will not tie his hands!" The commander said loudly, and the long knife pointed directly at the man in black.

But the other party just stood there silently.

"Take it down!" The commander shouted loudly, and the crowd was about to step forward in response, but they saw a few fireworks coming from nowhere, suddenly bursting, and the surrounding area suddenly fell into a white smoke.

By the time the smoke cleared, the Man in Black was gone.

Dressed in black, the flower-dyed clothes skillfully passed through the intricate mountain path of the back mountain and entered a very secret cave.

As soon as he entered the hole, the man in black pushed her away, and under the excessive force, he also fell down, and the masked black cloth fell, revealing a pale and handsome face.

She hurried forward, "Yu Mo! You hurt so badly that I..."

"Leave it alone!" The man staggered up and walked toward the depths of the cave, "I can't die!" ”

She stood wordlessly where she was.

There was still a smell of blood in the air, and the sound of ticking water came from not far away, and she sighed and walked in the direction of the sound of water droplets, and finally reached a pool.

The pool is natural, dripping to full, the water surface is smooth as a mirror, and the water of the pool appears strange fluorescent blue under the firelight.

Gazing at this blue wave, she said softly:

"Yunxin, I've come to see you."

Although there is nothing to see now except the pool water, if the water is drained, you can see the bone breeding of the little master sister Yunxin.

As crystal-like completely transparent, there is only one bone phase among tens of millions of people, called "clear", this bone can be used to cast swords, make strings, and where iron decay wood only adds a little ashes, it will become a good military artifact.

But this is not the reason why Bai Yumo took such pains to preserve...

"Who allowed you to come here?" Suddenly, bai yumo's drunkenness sounded in the cave.

"I'll go..." She got up and walked outside the cave, but stopped beside him again, "Yu Mo, why did you do it tonight?" ”

"You still ask me why?" He sneered, "Flower dyeing clothes, if you don't want to help, just say it, don't say one set and do one set." So dragging on, do you want me to wait for the next lunar eclipse? ”

"Is it possible to succeed by acting recklessly?" She also laughed, "You can also see how tightly guarded the Twilight City is, if it weren't for the use of scheming, you wouldn't even be able to get through the inner court." ”

This was a fact, and Bai Yumo's face immediately became very ugly.

"Now that the opportunity is in front of you, after waiting for so many years, why rush it?" She said softly. He showed a suspicious expression, "Are you really going to do it?" ”

"Of course it's true, I don't want Yunxin to come back... Don't you believe me? ”

She asked, but Bai Yumo just looked at her and didn't say a word.

She smiled and left.

In fact, she hadn't been expecting any answers, because she already knew what Bai Yumo hadn't said——

I don't believe it, flower dyeing clothes, how many times have you lied to me? I don't believe it.

Just like when she tried her best to argue that she didn't mean to save Yun Xin from death, he answered.

(iii)

Early in the morning a few days later, Song Jing sent someone to invite her to enjoy the blue blood coral.

The one-man tall coral showed a thick red color, just like the hottest blood suddenly met the coldest ice and condensed, the smooth jade surface, to the touch like the most delicate skin on the body of the twenty-eight maiden.

This kind of coral only grows in the darkest abyss of the Han Sea, only a hundred years long, and this plant in front of me really does not know that it has experienced a few vicissitudes...

"Only such a treasure can match the prestige of the city lord." She said this to the spirited Song Jing, and he laughed loudly: "You just can use clever words to make your husband happy." ”

She also laughed, and at this time, another foreign visitor came, it was Song Jing's early friend who sent his disciples to send a rare medicinal material.

Han Yunzhi, when she heard this medicine, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, Song Jing sensed something strange, she pushed that her body was somewhat unwell, and she retreated first.

Running quickly, under the rich and delicate porch in the inner courtyard, as if something were chasing her.

Running all the way back to her bedroom, she was panting against the window, as if she had exhausted all her strength.

"Madame?" Feng Wei's voice came from behind her, and she turned her head back, and Feng Wei was surprised: "What's wrong with Madame?" ”

She thought that she must look very bad, and stopped Feng Wei's intention to call the others, "But some of them are restless." ”

"In this way..." The young girl thought about it sideways, "Xu is busy and weak in the city recently?" I just heard that someone sent Han Yunzhi here, that is a nourishing thing, the city lord loves the lady so much, I think as long as the lady opens her mouth, the city lord has no reason not to give..."

"That's it!" She drank distraughtly, and Feng Wei was so frightened that she immediately retreated to the side. Looking at the girl's timid look, she exhaled a long breath, "Less mouth, play some songs to listen." ”

Feng Wei took the basket according to her words, flicked her ten fingers, and played it without asking her what she wanted to hear.

In fact, there is no need to ask, the only thing she wants to hear is the "Yamano Village Tune" that does not know the origin.

I remember the old years, Yunxin sang, she danced, and the years in the mountains were so happy and happy.

"Han Yunzhi..."

I couldn't help but murmur these three words because everything arose because of this.

As Feng Wei said, this medicinal herb can cure the power of the deep boils, which is an extremely precious thing for the practitioners, but it grows on the top of the Cloud Mist Mountain, where the cloud mountain fog cover does not distinguish the path for many years, and the snake worms and hundred feet are more numerous and poisonous, so although everyone knows the miracle effect of Han Yunzhi, few people get it.

When Bai Yumo was practicing, he accidentally suffered a very serious internal injury and died, and Yun Xin thought of taking Han Yunzhi when he was helpless, but she felt that it was too dangerous, and at first she did not agree, but she could not think of any other way to finally go with her.

However, on the way back, she was the only one who returned with a cold cloud mushroom.

Yunxin was injured by snake venom in the mountains and died.

"I don't believe it! You used poison to get the True Transmission of Master, and there is still poison in the world that you can't save?! ”

Closing his eyes, After hearing the news of Yunxin's death, Bai Yumo's furious look really seemed to be right in front of him. She told him that the poisonous snake was called "Purple Flame", a Western xenomorph, and that its snake venom was incurable.

"These are all recorded in Master's Five Classics of Strange Poison, and I am not talking nonsense!"

That's when she retorted.

But he said, "Isn't that book already lost?" What evidence do you have?! ”

He wouldn't believe it.

This is probably retribution... Over the years, she occasionally thought so, she was born cold and thin-minded, and Master took a fancy to her fierce heart and only taught her to use poison. When they were young, Bai Yumo and Yun Xin were not less teased by her, and even once or twice they almost lost their lives.

After being severely punished several times, she had a sense of proportion.

After all, whether it was Yu Mo or Yun Xin, she was the only one in this world. And those two people are so good, even if they have eaten so much of her losses, they still treat her as always, as if they were close relatives.

Unfortunately, everything is a thing of the past.

Yun Xin was dead, and Bai Yumo no longer trusted her.

What else does she have?

"Auntie, you said... How well did the lord of the city treat me? She suddenly asked, the young girl who was playing the piano was embarrassed, "Of course, the city lord treats the lady very well, with the city lord's momentum today, how many women are embraced, but the city lord has been pampered by the lady for ten years, and there are a few men in the world who can do this..."

The girl gushed incessantly, she listened to a smile, and looked at the diamond mirror that was close at hand——

The beautiful face in the mirror is just like when she first entered the jianghu.

It's like the most beautiful flower, and it seems to bloom undefeated.

Song Jing once said that she was the best and most beautiful of all he had...

"Yes, to be able to serve the lord of the city is indeed a blessing in the third life of dyeing clothes." She spoke softly, as if to herself.

Yin leeches, insects that eat human flesh and blood for a living, according to reports, they have a strange property, that is, they can retain the internal cultivation and martial arts of the devoured, as long as someone eats them within a certain period of time, they can get these cultivations and memories.

What a convenient method, so Song Jing is greedy for wine, but he can still dominate one side for many years.

But certainly not all harmless, otherwise he would not have declined...

Another use of the yin leech is to be able to attach itself to the clear bone on the night of the lunar eclipse and recreate the flesh.

Bai Yumo wanted to revive Yun Xin in this way.

She looked up, only to see that more than ten meters away, a hole was open, and she could see a little bit of the night sky. Originally, she had already made arrangements, and after getting the leech, she could escape from this place.

But now that the power is exhausted, it is useless to say anything.

The leeches had climbed up the stone platform, and countless slimy slippery insects were squirming like a tide rushing towards her.

She will die here, with all her flesh and blood gone, with no bones left.

Yu Mo didn't see her, will he come to look for her? If you learn of her death, will you be sad for her?

She closed her eyes.

The pain of imagining the insects eating herself had not begun for a long time, and she opened her eyes doubtfully, and was surprised to see that there was an extra person on the stone platform at some point——

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Only to see that Feng Wei was still holding the basket that never left her body, and she was standing three steps away with a smile.

The leeches had retreated into the water.

"You..." She looked at the girl in shock and suspicion, looking around, not understanding where she had come from?

But she had also felt it, felt the difference in the girlish girl.

The shyness and jerkiness in Feng Wei's body had disappeared without a trace at this moment, replaced by a unique feeling that seemed to come out of the deepest abyss, belonging to the darkness, frightening, but firmly attracted.

There was a strange fragrance all around her, perhaps a weapon to repel the clams.

"Don't be so surprised, I'm not here to save you." Feng Wei smiled and walked towards her, "Besides, you're no longer saved, aren't you?" ”

She took a step back in surprise and stepped on the edge of the stage.

There is no way back.

Feng Wei walked up to her and looked at her for a long time before she said in a brisk tone that seemed to be chatting:

"Bai Yumo, you want him to regret it, don't you?"

She looked at the girl with some numbness.

"Ah——!"

I don't know how long later, she made a sharp scream and squatted down in pain.

I don't understand how Feng Wei would know, but...

Yes, she was no longer saved.

Even if she gets out of here, her death is not far away...

So she finally made up her mind to take the leech, in fact, she just wanted Bai Yumo to regret it- when he used the leech to reshape Yunxin's body, she would understand why she had delayed for so long to get the leech. When the time comes, she will die in front of him again, and let him taste the irreparable pain once again.

"I can fulfill your wish," she heard Feng Wei say in her ear, "but I need a little reward from you." ”

"What in return?"

The girl laughed softly.

"Feng Wei is a musician, and the seeker is naturally the best instrument in the world." Her voice was a little softer—

"So, I want to be clear."

She jerked her head up and stared dead at the girl.

"Don't rush to refuse, see what this is." Feng Wei smiled and put a booklet into her hand.

At a glance, she saw the familiar handwriting on it, Master's handwriting.

The Five Classics of Strange Poison

"How could you have..." She was stunned, and the book had clearly disappeared after Master's death.

"Don't ask me how I found it." Feng Wei raised an eyebrow slightly, "I am not you, what I want, never fails." ”

She looked at the book with a mixture of tastes.

Even if she didn't open it, she knew what was written on page forty-nine.

The Purple Flame Snake, produced in the Western Kingdom, has no solution to its poison.

And then --

When you want to solve it, you will change your life with your life.

The antidote can only be produced by mixing the poisoned person's poisonous blood into another person's body, and in this way, although the poisoned person can survive, the other person will inevitably die.

She didn't lie to Bai Yumo, she really wanted to save Yunxin.

But she didn't want to die either.

She wanted to come back to see him, to be with him forever...

"What are you doing wrong again?" What right does Bai Yumo have to ask you to sacrifice your life to save another person? "Feng's soft and delicate voice, like the sound of her fence, is so beautiful that it is almost seductive." But he put all the blame on you, he didn't believe anything you said, he did this to you for ten years... I know you want to get revenge on him. ”

She was silent.

That person was the reason for her lust for the world, but it was also the source of all her suffering.

"Now you can't go out alone, but I can fulfill your wishes for you, and do better than you can imagine."

Feng Wei's slender fingers gently rested on her hand.

She looked at the girl's smiling eyebrows and suddenly thought that she might really be cold by nature.

Even if she loves Bai Yumo, even if she only has Bai Yumo left.

She was still unwilling, unwilling to bear the pain she had suffered in the past ten years, unwilling that she had never waited for Bai Yumo to accept Yun Xin's death, and was willing to believe in her day.

So she finally shook the girl's slightly cool hand——

Whatever the cost, she wanted revenge.

(6)

Full moon night.

The moonlight leaked through the hole above the pool, but I saw the moon reflecting on the water.

Most of it is already missing.

The lunar eclipse has begun for a long time, and the full moon is about to be blackened.

The gaunt man walked back and forth in the hole again, and the sound of footsteps betrayed his anxious emotions. Suddenly he felt something, and when he turned back, he saw a young girl standing at the mouth of the cave.

"Who are you?" Before the words could be heard, his figure had already swept up to the girl, and the sword was pointed directly at her throat.

"My name is Feng Wei, and my wife called me here." The girl seemed to be a little frightened, and took out a glass bottle from her arms, and a silver worm in the bottle was squirming. "Madame told me to give this to my husband."

"Why didn't she come herself?" Bai Yumo's expression changed suddenly, and his sword trembled: "Say! What's wrong with her?! ”

"Madame, madame, she..." The young girl's face turned miserable, and she even trembled when she spoke.

At this moment, the last bit of silver on the surface of the water also disappeared.

Bai Yumo quickly rushed to the edge of the pool, opened the glass bottle, and poured the leech into the water.

The leeches sink into the water and slowly sink down—

Finally attached to the bone, only to see the leech suddenly split in two, turning into two leeches.

Two born four, four born eight, under the black moon, this strange insect grows at an incredible speed, they attach to the crystal clear bones, squirming, squirming, gradually forming hands and feet...

"She's dead." Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind him.

He jerked his head back, but saw that the girl's expression had changed, and at her feet—

The flower-dyed clothes are lying there.

"Dye clothes!" He screamed and pounced, only to find that the body had stiffened.

"You!" The long sword was unsheathed again, but this time the maiden gently and deftly avoided it, and instantly retreated beyond Zhangxu.

She threw over a booklet, and he immediately recognized it as the lost Five Classics of Strange Poison.

"Take a look." The girl named Feng Wei said softly, adding, "What she wants you to see, page forty-nine there." ”

He picked up the book suspiciously and looked at it, but his eyes widened sharply after sweeping a few times.

"This!" For a moment he even breathed heavily, "What is this?!" What's going on?! ”

"This is the evidence you want, Bai Yumo, isn't this the 'truth' you want?" The young girl laughed, "What, you don't want to recognize Shimen's handwriting?" Or is it..."

Her smile was as cold as ice, "You don't dare to recognize it at all?" What does it really matter? What does it matter if the book is true or false? You can force her to endure humiliation for ten years, even if everything repeats itself that year, why would you spare her life? Anyway, in your heart, the only important thing is the cloud heart, isn't it? ”

"Stop! Shut up! He shouted and threw the book far away.

Just when he was about to fall into the frenzy, the sound of water came from behind him.

It was the water that flooded out of the pool.

He looked back and saw Yun xin sitting against the edge of the pool, his long hair hidden in front of his chest, looking at him as if he had been ten years ago.

It's just that gaze, too dull.

"Cloud Heart!" Ecstasy surged into his heart, and he took a step——

It just stopped.

I saw that there were suddenly many more black spots on the white skin, and then as if it had been melted through by a soldering iron, one hole after another appeared in the newborn, flawless body, and more and more holes appeared, and then the body collapsed.

"Cloud Heart!" He ran to the edge of the pool in horror, but saw countless leeches struggling to crawl towards the clear bones, and began to take shape again.

In the water, Yunxin's face was formed again, and her eyes were still so beautiful, but empty.

Not like a living person at all.

"What's going on?!" Things were not at all what he thought, and he couldn't help but roar.

What answered him was a chuckle from Feng Wei.

"The dead are resurrected and act against heaven. Do you really think you can succeed? The girl looked at the pool with disgust, "Even if there is a flesh, what is the use?" The Walking Dead only. ”

He looked at her sheepishly as if no one had ever reminded him of this.

No, in fact, there are, flower dyeing clothes, she always said to let Yun Xin into the ground for safety.

But he was always resentful and didn't listen to any of her explanations or opinions...

"I know that there has never been a miracle in this world, just like her," the young girl said, sitting down and taking the flower-dyed clothes into her arms, her fingertips gently brushing the face that was already bloodless, "You see that you have white hair on your sideburns, but in the past ten years, her face has not faded, why?" ”

As if thinking of something, he suddenly snorted.

And Feng Wei smiled more and more happily, "That's because she understands that if you want to live with the hope of Yunxin's resurrection, she must always stay by Song Jing's side, and if she wants to stay by his side, she must always be the flower dyeing clothes of Yan ZhiLuzhou." So..."

The soft tone of voice, but like the most deadly blade.

"She used poison to keep her face in the face, and in the end she was helpless."

After Feng Wei said these words, the surrounding area fell into a death-like silence.

"No..."

After a long time, as if he finally understood what had happened, he let out a low roar.

Out of control.

"Not ——!"

With a long roar, he drew his sword in his hand, "Who are you! Who the hell are you! ”

He screamed at the girl.

"Feng Wei, just a musician." The girl said, and picked up the corpse of the flower-dyed clothes and walked out.

"Let her go!" He was horrified, and drew his sword and pounced on the girl——

"Huai Ying!" But he listened to the girl's sharp drink, and then the basket on her back seemed to answer her call, and suddenly made a loud noise, he only felt a strong attack, and the next moment the whole person had fallen back to the edge of the pool.

Then a dark flame lit up in front of him.

On the other side of the flame, Feng Wei's eyes were cold.

"For ten years, you ignored her... Bo lover, in this life and this life, you will hold this pile of dead flesh until you die! ”

Before the words could be heard, her figure disappeared without a trace.

The corpse of the flower-stained clothes was also gone.

The flames were extinguished and the cave recovered as before.

It was as if nothing had happened.

(vii)

Later, some people said that there were white-haired ghosts in the back mountains of Twilight City, carrying carrion corpses, naked, and often roaring in the mountains and forests on the night of the full moon.

Arashi Mountain Peak.

The red moon is red like blood, hanging high in the sky. The red moonlight sprinkled, and the mountain peak seemed to burn a fire in the ground.

The spring water in the wash-shaped pool under the cliff is grunting and boiling, and the blisters continue to float to the surface of the water and then burst, emitting white water vapor.

"Flutter."

The flower-stained corpse fell into the wash-shaped pool.

The water in the pool was still boiling, but after a long time, the body was unharmed.

Feng Wei frowned.

"What you want me to do, I have already done, and you can't say it without faith." With that, she removed the hoop from her back and flicked it up gently.

It is a favorite song of the Iraqi people in the past.

And when the song ends, the body in the pool instantly decays, and after it falls off, it reveals the bones inside.

Transparent, crystal-like —

Clear the bone.

At the same time, a little spiritual consciousness was like a firework, soaring from the bottom of the pool, landing in the soil at the girl's feet, instantly sprouting and pulling leaves, and blooming a gorgeous red flower.

Feng Wei couldn't help but sigh.

"Finally got..."

There is nothing unwilling or concerned, which can carry the clear bones of the beautiful music between heaven and earth.

In fact, Yunxin, Hua Dyeyi, and Bai Yu were all dressed in this strange bone appearance, the so-called Guilt of Bibi, and it was precisely because their master was worried that this would bring them disaster, so he took the three of them away from his family at an early age and adopted them as disciples.

However, it has evolved into today's situation, and the decision of the predecessor at that time is not known whether to save or kill.

Among the three, she chose to dye the flower because in order to make a monoescene, no matter what kind of material, its owner must willingly donate...

All the while, she waited like a snake and finally succeeded.

Taking out a scroll that had been yellowed, Feng Wei pointed at Zhu with a thin pen and checked the rightmost one.

I put away the scroll, but I saw that the red flower had withered.

Only the dark fragrance remains.

The sad woman was gone.

The fragrance of flowers dyes the clothes, and after all, only a wisp of richness remains, dissipating the heavens and the earth.
