Gently put the half-read "Between the Flowers" on her lap, Hua Xi comfortably picked up the mint tea in front of her and took a sip gently. If it weren't for the rain pouring over the past few days, the lack of sunlight and the darkness of the villa, it would have been a leisurely and tranquil picture.

Yan Fei ran to the hall and sat in front of Hua Xi, "How long have I been sleeping?!"

"More than half a month". Hua Xi put down the mint tea and continued to pick up her "Between the Flowers" and started reading.

Yan Fei rubbed his head in shock, his eyes were sore because of the pain, "Didn't you say that Qiu Zang's matter is not over yet! I have been sleeping for more than half a month, and he didn't run away earlier!"

"Qiu Zang is already dead, what else can you blame? Hua Xi's narrow eyes didn't lift up, and Wen Tingyun's words turned another page.

"Ahh But if he is not dead, how can this be proven? Yan Fei is one head and two big, and even the fragmentary dream fragments when he was asleep are entangled in this matter. Now I heard Hua Xi say that Qiu Zang was really dead, and all my thoughts were twisted into a mess again, just like reading an unfinished suspense novel, and my chaotic thoughts were entangled in a mess, but when the ending was near, the author was assassinated again.

"Yo, you two are flirting and saying love?" As soon as Yu Satin's voice fell, she leaned over, and the sound of ceramic cracking sounded behind her almost at the same time, and the fragrance of mint tea overflowed.

"Tut-tut-tut-Hua Xi, Hua Xi, has your cultivation been eaten by Xiao Li?" Yu Satin went downstairs, and when he approached the sofa where Yan Fei was sitting, he placed a framed work in his hand in front of Yan Fei. "Someone sent a gift to the villa, indicated to you. ”

"Huh, for me?" Yan Fei was flattered, this was the first time she had received a gift from someone outside the villa since she came to the villa.

"Aren't you curious about the identity of this person?" Yousatin sat leisurely opposite Yan Fei with a cigarette, spitting out smoke rings. The Hunan embroidered golden dragon at her neckline seemed to take advantage of the mist and soar straight into the sky.

Those who can deliver gifts to the villa are really not ordinary people. Or maybe not people.

But Yan Fei didn't care about this at all, because she was already deeply attracted when she saw that work.

She is very familiar with the picture on this work, because she has traced it countless times, practiced it repeatedly, and studied it deeply. It would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the painting she has ever practiced the most. However, she only learned today that the painting was actually an embroidery work.

Yan Fei looked at Yu Satin unconsciously, his eyes burning, "You embroidered it?"

When you hear this, your breath is not controlled, and a smoke ring is spit out. "How is that possible?"

"Yes, it was sent from outside, how could it be embroidered by one of us, I'm also confused. Yan Fei patted his head and smiled, flipped through the butterfly beauty, suddenly breathed a little, his hands trembled slightly as if he had been electrocuted, and then looked at Hua Xi as if asking for help, "What is this!

Hua Xi casually glanced at the embroidery on Yan Fei's hand, took a sip of tea quietly, and then handed over a plate of zongzi to Yan Fei, "Don't worry, eat a zongzi first." ”

Yan Fei wanted to roll his eyes, the Dragon Boat Festival had already passed, okay! Eat a woolen zongzi! It's almost the same to eat some tea fruits! But in the end, under the gaze of Hua Xi's beautiful long eyes, he still chose to take a zongzi.

The embroidery on the knee shone with a dim light, and the rose crystal eye butterfly became more and more vivid than the fangcai, and under its transparent and crystalline wings, the white bones were dazzling, making this moving beauty reveal a bit of cruelty. However, the colder the bones, the more beautiful the butterfly wings. Yan Fei was shocked in her heart, she had traced this painting for so long, and only today did she know that it was originally a double-sided embroidery.

In the Dream of Red Mansions, it is mentioned that one side is a beauty and the other is a white bone, and the white bone makes people live, and the beauty makes people die. Could it be that this pair of double-sided embroidery also has this meaning?

Hua Xi was silent, and only the sound of turning books was heard in the entire hall, and a book between flowers seemed to chew out the taste.

The heavy rain outside the window was pouring, and the candlelight in the hall was lit at night, not feeling bright but becoming more and more drowsy, and the headphones with nursery rhymes on the glass were sleeping in the satin arms, Yan Fei dozed off, and his head that he did not lean on hung down slightly.

"After watching it for so long, do you see any fame?" Hua Xi's unwavering voice sounded from his side, Yan Fei woke up suddenly, and he actually fell asleep.

"I, I'm waiting for you!" Yan Fei rubbed his eyes, very helpless.

Hua Xi smiled slightly, as if he had something to say, "What I want to say is in this painting." Yan Luo saw Yan Fei's increasingly confused expression, so he had to shake his head and stretched out his hand to Yan Fei to signal Yan Fei to give her the embroidery.

"Do you remember when you first saw this painting?" Hua Xi took the embroidery and gently stroked the framed glass, as if he could feel the lightness of the butterfly's wings through the glass.

"It's Qiu Zang who just came to the villa. Yan Fei replied. It's not that Yan Fei deliberately wants to mention Qiu Zang, it's just that he lives in a villa and doesn't know the years, Yan Fei, who used to calculate time by class hours, is now more accustomed to using tenants to keep time.

"This painting is what Qiu Zang deliberately asked you to paint. Hua Xi said.

"I know, the guest who paid a high price is Qiu Zang, and he has known Sister Qiqi for a long time. ”

"You know what Qiu Zang did. Hua Xi lowered his eyes, "But you don't know his motives." ”

"Yes, he is rich, good-looking, and has no enemies, so he should live happily. Why did he dig his own grave?" Yan Fei said the tightest knot in his heart.

"He didn't dig his own grave, he wanted to put it to death and come back to life. Hua Xi sighed lightly, dyed with three points of tiredness.

"Huh?" Yan Fei tilted his head, "Why?"

Hua Xi lifted the embroidery, the fireplace fire revealed a thin layer of red light from the fine embroidery thread, and the butterfly shadow was cast between the window lattices, as if the next moment it was about to fly into the rain curtain outside the window.

"There is a secret hidden in this embroidery. ”

"What's the secret?"

"When a person has money and beauty, then what else does he need?" Hua Xi cast a faint gaze.

Yan Fei's heart moved, "!"

The secret of immortality.

Immortality has been an eternal proposition for thousands of years. The beauty of the poem is only envious of mandarin ducks and not immortals, but how many idiots are there in ancient times who are really willing to give up immortality and love? Even Emperor Qin and Han Wu have sought immortality at any cost, only sighing that the Taoshan is dangerous and unpredictable.

However, countless princes and princes have hidden the method of immortality that they can't find in this small piece of embroidery?

Hua Xi saw Yan Fei's thoughts and explained: "The nature hidden in this embroidery is not the only way to live forever. ”

"Alas. Yan Fei sighed lightly, "Is it true that the law of immortality must be at the cost of harming people?"

"At the cost of harming others is just Qiu Zang's speculation, what he thinks is the method of immortality. ”

"In other words, Qiu Zang doesn't know the secret in this embroidery?" Yan Fei was surprised, he didn't know the correct method, Qiu Zang actually dared to try boldly, isn't this death?"

Hua Xi nodded, "Do you remember the bloodthirsty butterfly in Butterfly Valley?"

"Remember!" Yan Fei pitifully raised his hands that had been healed under Hua Xi's treatment, "They also sucked my blood!"

"I went back to the villa and looked through the books, and learned that these butterflies were bred by spells, and that they were bloodthirsty and flesh-hungry and were born to fear only two, one of which was the Blood. I knew that if you met the cursed butterfly, it would be difficult to get out, so I sent a bracelet to pick you up at night. ”

When Yan Fei heard this, he subconsciously went to look at the bracelet night, no wonder those butterflies saw him like a hungry wolf pounced on food, but when he saw the bracelet night, it was like a rabbit seeing a tiger. "What else? What are you afraid of?"

"Butterfly King. Hua Xi said word by word.

"Butterfly King?" Yan Fei suddenly remembered the big butterfly he saw in the stone house, could it be that the Butterfly King?" "I may have seen the Butterfly King, in Qiu Zangguan's stone house!" After finishing speaking, Yan Fei suddenly realized, "So his girlfriend is the Butterfly King?" and then he began to study the way of immortality?"

Hua Xi pondered for a moment and said, "You still believe Qiu Zang's words until now. ”

"Huh?" Yan Fei was stunned, "You mean Qiu Zang has been lying to me all along?"

Hua Xi raised his hand and moved his fingers slightly, and a pale golden soft light bloomed from between his fingers and turned into two phantom light butterflies, which flew in front of Yan Fei's eyes, "Haven't you ever thought that maybe he doesn't have a girlfriend at all?"

"Huh?" Yan Fei was puzzled, and his eyes moved away from the joyful flying phantom butterfly in front of him and turned to Hua Xi.

Hua Xi's thin lips pulled up slightly, "The Butterfly King has always been bred in pairs, and it is impossible to betray each other." As a butterfly king, how can he fall in love with a mortal. After Hua Xi finished speaking, he looked at Yan Fei with the eyes that you have seen too much of the mythical stories of this little girl.

Yan Fei was still immersed in the shocking fact that Qiu Zang didn't have a girlfriend at all, and she had always deeply believed in Yun Tou's existence, which seemed to have become a certain thing in her heart, and this withdrawal made it difficult for Yan Fei to accept it all of a sudden.

Before Yan Feihui could come over, Hua Xi continued to throw out a message that made her even more terrifying, "Although the so-called girlfriend doesn't exist, Yun Tou may not be Qiu Zang's fabrication. ”

"Nani?" Yan Fei looked prostrate.

"There is too little information about Yun Tou for me to deduce anything, but what is clear is that she not only knows Qiu Zang, but also has something to do with the art of immortality in embroidery. ”

Hua Xi paused, and began to tell Yan Fei in detail the ins and outs of the whole thing and the method of immortality hidden in the embroidery.
