Guanqingzhai

But the child's face was frighteningly pale, and his voice was weak.The three of them looked at him, but the child looked at the distance very mechanically.He is no different from the living dead, without his own thoughts and aura.

The three of them each received a kit, and the boy bowed again but did not lead them in.

Xuan Mingzi looked at the kit and said, "The three of us have three bags, ha ha."

Xuan Mingzi waved his long sleeves, took out a box in his hand and said, "This poor man gave you a gift from your master, please accept it."

The boy opened the box and found a stone sculpture of a crow inside.The boy nodded slightly, and stepped out of the way. Xuan Mingzi raised his leg and went in first. Hu Yue put away his fan, pointed at Chu Jue and said, "I brought the person who decrypted this time, and I'm his." Escort."

Chu Jue handed over the gift box, bowed and followed Hu Yue into the villa.

Chu Jue approached Hu Yue and whispered, "This child is already dead."

Hu Yue waved her fan and said that there is no need to say more, just wait and see what happens.

After entering the villa, Hu Yue frowned slightly. He glanced at the other two, and the plum blossoms in this yard were actually red plums, as red as blood.

Xuan Mingzi walked towards the two of them quietly, he leaned closer and said, "It's not right... people have died here... and the level of depression is rare in my life. That boy is also a puppet driven by a corpse, this place..."

Hu Yue interrupted him, the three of them looked around, there was a large plum grove inside the gate, the red plums were already in full bloom, graceful and extremely enchanting.When the breeze blows, the plum tree will make a rustling sound, and then with the sound of the wind is the indifferent fragrance.There is nothing but these plum blossoms.

Hu Yue said: "There are no living things in this place."

Chu Jue asked: "Are you here a few times before?"

Hu Yue shook his head, he looked at Xuan Mingzi who had been attending all the time, Xuan Mingzi squinted his eyes and said, "No...it's my first time here too."

The boy didn't know when the door was closed, and when he saw the boy's face as pale as paper through the crack of the door, he showed a wicked smile, and finally said: "The plum blossom is the mystery."

Plum blossom again?But isn't the mystery in the bag?Which one is the puzzle?

Xuan Mingzi said: "The plum blossom... is it a crow again?"

Hu Yue looked around and said, "No, this puzzle only has an introduction, and the main mystery is still in the kit. But why are there only three of us? What about the others?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a very crazy laughter from Merlin.The harsh voice made it difficult to distinguish between men and women.

Xuan Mingzi wanted to chase, but was stopped by Chu Jue, and said, "Are you familiar with the layout of the forest?"

Xuan Mingzi took a closer look and said, "The art of Dunjia, eight gates and nine stars."

Hu Yue said with the paper fans together: "The first mystery is the art of shielding armor synthesized by Merlin, which can be regarded as the beginning."

Chu Jue said: "How many mysteries are there?"

Hu Yue said: "There is no specific number. Mysteries are everywhere. As long as you encounter them, you must solve them, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward. Of course, every time you uncover one, there will be rewards. There are plenty of good wines. Besides good wines, there are many secret books." Zhenbao, heh, otherwise the stinky Taoist wouldn't be so enthusiastic."

The corner of Chu Jue's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "It's because of these things that we can't make a big show, otherwise these things are worthless."

Xuan Mingzi looked at the two of them, and murmured, "Don't you hide it too, old boy? Why are you pretending to be noble?" Hu Yue coughed, and added: "But there are some secrets in these mysteries. A main mystery, and we are actually trying to solve this mystery."

Chu Jue frowned and said, "Can't you solve it?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "It's not long, only three days. If you can't solve it after three days, you will be sent out, and then you won't even receive the invitation letter. It can be said that you lose face."

Chu Jue continued to ask: "What if it is revealed within a day?"

Xuan Mingzi and Hu Yue looked at each other. Xuan Mingzi had three points of respect for Chu Jue, but he was still a little dissatisfied when he heard such a tone. He said: "No one has been able to do it so far, and the fastest is Hu Yue." Old guy, he spent a day and a half."

Hu Yue shook her fan, looked at the plum blossoms around her, and didn't pay attention to what they said, Chu Jue said: "Then let's try it first."

Hu Yue raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and said, "Brother Chu, why don't we take a gamble?"

Chu Jue snorted, "How to gamble?"

Hu Yue said: "Look, since we're here, let's try it out and see whoever guesses the main riddle first will be the winner, the lottery..."

Chu Jue said with enthusiasm, "Embracing the beauty all night?"

Hu Yue coughed in embarrassment, glanced at Xuan Mingzi, and the latter's expression was also very rich, Hu Yue said: "Still the old rules, a jar of bars."

Chu Jue immediately lost interest, but Hu Yue didn't care, and quickly shifted his gaze back to Mei Lin, he said: "It's not clear yet, it's the time when the sun is escaping. Palace, Xiumen is also in the first palace, then move the wheel to the star in the lower circle diagram, and Xiumen are all facing the first palace, then the birth door C, there is C in Gen, Qimen is complete, and Yiqi is in Li , no door, Ding Qi is in Dui, no door. For example, in Yi Chou, if you look at the peng star in the grid, the peng star is in the ninth house, and the rest door is in the second house, then move it down to the circle. Palace, see Xiumen Bing; Qi is in Erkun Palace, Qimen is complete, Yiqi is in Kanwumen, Dingqi is in Zhenwumen. For example, in Bingyin, in the upper grid, Pengxing is in the eighth house, and Xiumen is in the third Palace, then move down, Pengxing on the wheel faces the eighth house, Shuumen faces the third house, then Shuumen C, Qi is in Zhengong, Qimenquan, Yiqi is in the second official, Dingqi is in the sixth house, there is no door. Down to the time of Guiyou, Jiazi Xuntou was used as the direct talisman, and Shuumen was used as the direct envoy, and the palace was moved according to the previous method. For example, from the time of Jiaxu to Guiwei, at ten o'clock Ruixing was the direct talisman, and the gate of death was the direct envoy. From the time of Jiashen to the time of Guisi, they all used Chongxing as the direct talisman and hurting the door as the direct talisman, it seems that this time it is not too difficult."

But Xuan Mingzi said: "No, it's not that easy. Today is the day when the rain turns from the stinging sting, and the time will turn in less than half a stick of incense. If we enter at this time, then the Shengmen and Xiumen must be separated." There are some changes, after half a stick of incense, the winter solstice Jingzhe [-], followed by Jia Shengeng and three minor colds [-]."

Hu Yue said with a smile: "Sure enough, he is a strange man of Yinfu. The first one to enter is the Eight Gates and Nine Stars. The beginning is very clear, this is a very entry-level kind, but when the solar terms alternate, the time is the key."

Chu Jue then added: "It's the time of change, and the time of change coincides with the plum blossom, that is..."

The three of them said at the same time: "Flowering period!"

Then there was a burst of laughter, and a woman's soft voice came from the forest: "The three of you are really long in coming."

Hu Yue was overjoyed, and Chu Jue covered her head and said, "Hu Yue's three major hobbies in life, wine, beautiful women, and troublesome things, seem to be all here."

The three of them walked towards the sound, using the art of armor, passed through the Merlin, and at the end of the Merlin was a pavilion, but there was no one in the pavilion.

And who is the woman speaking?

Although there was no one in the pavilion, there was a painting on the stone table, and there was a person in the painting, and it was a beauty. The beauty stood among the plum blossoms with a very bleak expression, but the most abrupt thing was those terrified people under the plum blossoms. Human bones.But the beauty in the painting has only one eye, and the other eye has only a faint outline.

Hu Yue sighed: "It's a pity, such sad eyes."

There was a jug of wine and a book next to the painting, Xuan Mingzi exclaimed excitedly: "Good fellow, the note book of the blue pouch and fragments! This is mine!" After speaking, he went to the Put it directly in your arms.

Hu Yue was only interested in beauties, so Chu Jue picked up the wine and said, "Plum blossom brew."

But when the three of them turned around again, where would there be any bewitching red plums?It's just a mass grave.

Among the lonely tombs and wild mounds, the fragrance of plum blossoms can be vaguely smelled, but the fragrance smells into the nose, but it also becomes the thick bloody smell.

Chu Jue frowned slightly, and he said, "Illusion?"

Xuan Mingzi said, "An illusion that even we haven't seen through?"

Hu Yue touched the kit bag, and he sniffed it closer and said, "The fragrance of plum blossoms."

After speaking, he opened the kit, and there was a piece of paper and a red bead inside.

Hu Yue said: "This... should be the Flower Soul Orb."

Chu Jue and Xuan Mingzi also opened the bags in their hands, which were also a piece of paper and a bead respectively.He said: "Three flower soul beads, that is equivalent to burying three 500-year-old flower essence souls to get them. This method is a bit too cruel."

Hu Yue put the beads into his sleeves, and said: "Although Master Canmei's invitations in the past had some mysterious features, they have never been so deadly as this time. What happened?"

Xuan Mingzi said: "It's weird, it's weird! This time, no one else saw it, only the three of us? Could it be that only the three of us answered the riddle correctly this time?"

Chu Jue looked at the painting on the stone table and said, "Maybe, we just invited the three of us."

Looking at the three people's papers, the content on the three people's websites is different.

In Chu Jue's paper was written a poem: The mirror on the high platform stands opposite to each other.

On Hu Yue's paper was another painting, on which was a terrifying monster with a bird's face and a human body. The monster was on the edge of a river, and at the other end of the river was a door with people inside, as if they were doing embroidery.

And Xuan Mingzi is one word: down.

The riddles of the three people are different from each other, so there are three answers to the riddle?

The three of them were holding their own puzzles, but soon everyone turned their attention to the beauty picture on the stone table.

Chu Jue said: "My answer to the riddle is the word sitting." After saying that, he sat on the stone bench. "

The other two didn't move, Hu Yue stood still holding the fan, and Xuan Mingzi also didn't move.Chu Jue reached out to pick up the brush next to the painting, and drew a stroke to the eyes of the woman in the painting.

Everyone heard a sigh, and the beauty in the painting shed a tear.

At that time, everyone looked at the painting, and after the people in the painting shed tears, the picture melted because of tears.

Before it was Hu Yue's turn to lament, a hidden arrow was shot from under the stone table. Almost at the same time as the arrow was shot, Chu Jue dodged sideways, and the arrow shot directly out of the pavilion, and Chu Jue felt a chill in his heart.

Xuan Mingzi's expression also became grim, he sneered and said, "Is this killing people?"

Hu Yue lowered his head to check the stool and said, "It seems that the bloody characters appearing in the dilapidated house don't seem like a joke."

Xuan Mingzi touched the sword behind his back, and said, "Just the three of us? I'm starting to wonder if this is an invitation from Master Canmei."

Hu Yue stood up, covered her face with her fan and said, "You mean to embezzle new flowers?"

Chu Jue stood up and said, "If this is not an invitation from Master Canmei, then it must be a participant. Otherwise, how would he know about Master Canmei's invitation? And the meaning of that bloody word is puzzling. Is it a hint or a trap? , he must know what's going on here."

Hu Yue said again: "And this is not a Canmei Villa at all."

Everyone is still in a lonely grave, but where is this place?

Xuan Mingzi crossed his arms and said, "This matter is a bit mysterious, are you still going to continue?"

Hu Yue smiled slightly: "I think there is still something to play with. Now the mystery at Chu Jue's hand is to be solved, which is a word. Haven't you and I solved it yet?"

Xuan Mingzi sneered and said, "I'm not as desperate as you old lunatic. This place is basically a gathering place made of corpses. The children at the door are also zombies."

Hu Yue still smiled and said, "Are you afraid?"

Xuan Mingzi snorted coldly, but did not answer, Chu Jue pointed to the hillside and said: "The hint is a word, but the answer is not. After sitting down, let me dot the eyes of the person in the painting, and the person in the painting sheds tears." , and then the hidden arrow shot is also quite meaningful, the arrow is also shot there, the cold arrow shot into the mass grave... If my guess is correct, the next puzzle is waiting for us there, and this round It was me who answered, one person and one riddle, in fact, the riddles in the hands of the three of us are the hints of the following riddles."

Hu Yue said: "Sit down? Weeping beauties? Hidden arrows? Mass graves?"

Chu Jue said: "Brother Hu, don't ignore the change of the scene. After the weeping beauty, there is an arrow in the back, and then there is no cover up for the frustration, so the answer to my mystery here should be a mutation. The mutation from life to death is actually death."

Xuan Mingzi's expression was also a little shaken by this, he stroked his chin and said, "Interesting, indeed... I still don't know what the word I have in hand means."

Chu Jue continued: "Now I don't care at all whether this is Master Canmei's setup or not. As far as this setup is concerned, it has indeed aroused my interest."

Hu Yue put away the paper fan and said: "Then please, it's still the bet, whoever guesses the answer first will win."

Xuan Mingzi laughed loudly and said, "Sure enough, he's a drunkard. Well, Daoist, I'll accompany you."

The three of them rushed up the hillside, and they must pass through the mass graves. The third puzzle is that inside this mass grave, there are dilapidated graves everywhere. The stench was unbearable, and some bones exposed the wilderness, which was horrible.

Hu Yue couldn't help sighing: "What a contrast. The original Merlin has become what it is now."

The three of them walked forward speechlessly, and they could always feel the cruelty and ruthlessness of the life-and-death transition when they walked through here.

Chu Jue frowned and said, "This scene makes people think of a dead body, and it has a slight implication of life and death."
