Yiling | The Burial Mounds ↳ “When a living person goes in here, both the body and the soul, they cannot return, unable to get out for all of eternity.”

I was playing with some brushes and made a little sketch of the burial mounds!

favorite location-The Burial Mounds

prompted by @chthonicillness , from this ask game, which I’m still accepting prompts for!

[id: eleven gifs from “The Untamed”, each featuring the Burial Mounds and edited so that they’re thin and the saturation slowly increases and then decreases. first, the mountains of the burial mounds upside down, second, grass blowing and a skull. third, the Wen remnants entering for the first time. fourth, Wei Wuxian grabbing Wen Yuan’s hand with lanterns visible in the shot. fifth, Wei Wuxian’s hand reaching for growing lotus sprouts. sixth, A-Yuan running while Wei Wuxian picks Lotus pods and other Wen Remnants are visible in the background. seventh, Wen Ning and Wen Qing walking out to meet the rest of their family before giving themselves up to the Jin. eighth, Wei Wuxian running out of the Demon Subdue Palace. ninth, Wen Ning staring at the destruction of the Burial Mounds. tenth, a pan shot of the dead lotus plants. eleven, the same mountain shot as the first, but now right side up. /end id]

Wei Wuxian, sifting through his old notes: These old doomsday devices are dangerously unstable. I’ll rest easier not knowing where they are.

Wei Wuxian, in a dramatic voice: How dare you enter the Yiling Patriarch’s lair! The impudence! The audacity! The unmitigated gall!

Thinks abt Burial Mounds in silence 

Wei Ying, concentrate.
