Chapter 349: The Eye of Reincarnation
(Same as today, two chapters in one)
Speaking of which, the owner of this face is also the driving force behind Liu Chupei's fall into the abyss.
She is the little palace maid who imitated Liu Chupei's voice when Liu Ziye violated Liu Chupei!
But the two of them didn't intersect at all after that, why did that palace maid finally appear in Liu Chupei's tomb?
Gu Yanran frowned, things seemed to be stuck in a dead end, and there was no way to find an exit.
Gu Yanran originally wanted to make a phone call with Wen Yanzhi, but it was already early in the morning, so she thought about it and gave up.
She lay on the bed, thinking about it.
That palace maid is someone next to Liu Chuyu, and this matter should have nothing to do with her. But Liu Chuyu didn't know the secret of that tomb, how could she bury that palace maid in Liu Chupei's tomb, this couldn't be explained.
Wang Ying might know, but why did he put another corpse?
Gu Yanran's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't figure it out. Coupled with the fact that the strength of the wine had not completely subsided, she finally fell asleep in a daze......
……
When she woke up again, it was already noon on the second day, and she hurriedly got up, washed up, and went downstairs.
Downstairs sat a familiar and unexpected person.
"Anyway, why are you here?" Gu Yanran was surprised, she was still going to contact him later.
"I'm going to take you somewhere. ”
"Have you seen my grandfather and them?" Gu Yanran glanced around and found that there was no figure other than him.
Wen Yanzhi shook his head, "No, your grandfather and Old Man Fu went out." ”
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll find out when you go. Wen Yanzhi's face was a little heavy, and Gu Yanran felt that something should happen again.
She didn't dare to ask more, went upstairs to change her clothes, and got into Wen Yanzhi's car with bread in her mouth, after seeing that the road ahead was becoming more and more familiar, Gu Yanran looked at Wen Yanzhi suspiciously, "Why did you come to your Wen family's old house?"
Wen Yanzhi slowly stopped the car, "Do you remember that ancient tree?"
Gu Yanran nodded, "Six Chaosong." ”
"Hmm. There was a hint of irritation in Wen Yan's eyes, "It's dead." ”
"What?" Gu Yanran's heart suddenly sank, "Dead?"
If there were anything else, it would be fine, but it was not a good thing that this ancient tree died, it lived for more than a thousand years, and then died suddenly...... It seemed to her that this must have portended something.
What's more, it is a big family like the Wen family, and the six dynasty pines in the old mansion can predict the prosperity and decline of the family, and once this ancient tree dies, it will ......
An uneasy feeling suddenly rose in her heart.
Gu Yanran followed Wen Yan to get out of the car, and after opening the door, she ran in, and when she walked to the inner courtyard, she was stunned.
The original tree was now left with a hollow trunk, and the dead leaves were all over the ground, signaling its death.
"When?"
"I only found out this morning, but I don't know when it died. ”
Gu Yanran felt a little uncomfortable after seeing this tree, I don't know if it was an illusion, she felt as if her whole person had been stripped of her soul, and something was slowly passing from her body.
Gu Yanran took a deep breath, "Can you still be saved?"
Wen Yanzhi shook his head, "Even if you are saved, you won't survive for a week." ”
She cautiously asked, "You...... Does the family know?"
Wen Yanzhi shook his head again, "It's not appropriate to tell them about this matter, and it's not too late to talk about it when I find out the reason." ”
Gu Yanran stepped forward, squatted down to carefully inspect the details on the pine branches of the Six Dynasties, she picked up a wooden stick, and dug it in the soil a few times, and the roots of the tree were slightly exposed.
Gu Yanran's eyes lit up, "Look, the roots of the tree have not died yet, and it is possible for this tree to be saved." ”
Wen Yanzhi shook his head, "I've seen it a long time ago, the roots of the tree are not dead, but the top is dead, and it can't be saved." ”
Gu Yanran looked at the tree roots in front of him in a daze, and fell into deep thought.
"Since it can't be saved, I dug it up. Wen Yanzhi's voice was not emotional.
"What?" Gu Yanran turned his head in surprise, "Digging?"
"Didn't you want to dig before?" Wen Yanzhi walked over, "You can dig now." ”
"I was looking for something, but now I've found it, isn't it?" Gu Yanran refused a little, since the hairpin had returned, she was also sure that this was Liu Chupei's princess's mansion, so there was no need to dig again.
"I remember you said that this used to be the Princess's Mansion. ”
Gu Yanran nodded.
"Is this tree there in the first place?"
Gu Yanran shook his head, "I didn't have it when I moved in, it was Wang ...... later You planted it. ”
"Then do you remember why you planted this tree?"
Gu Yanran was stunned, why did you plant this tree...... She really never seemed to think about it.
"Yes...... Maybe it's good-looking......" Gu Yanran himself said without confidence, "Maybe it's this auspicious tree." ”
"This tree can live for more than a thousand years. Wen Yanzhi stood under the tree, raised his head and looked at the sun above his head, with a lot of thoughts.
Gu Yanran didn't understand what he meant, "So, people can't live for a thousand years." ”
"Maybe there's some secret that needs to be covered up for a thousand years. Wen Yanzhi looked down at Gu Yanran, "Although I haven't remembered it yet, I can faintly feel that there must be some secret hidden here." ”
Gu Yanran didn't doubt what Wen Yanzhi said at all, he was Wang Ying, even if he didn't have Wang Ying's memory, but he felt that this kind of thing was
Won't lie.
"What do you mean...... Is there something under the tree?" Gu Yanran glanced at the location of the root of the tree suspiciously, "It's impossible, when I first planted this tree, I was there, except for putting a brocade box in it, there was nothing else." ”
"Just give it a try and you'll find out. Wen Yanzhi took out two shovels that were a little old from the back room next to him.
"Dig directly?" Gu Yanran looked at the tool in his hand uncertainly.
"Hmm. Wen Yanzhi pointed to the position next to him, "You just dig up the loose soil, and I'll come inside." ”
"Don't you need to find someone to help?" Gu Yanran looked at Liuchaosong, who was much taller than her, even though it was already withered, and was a little entangled.
"Are you sure?" Wen Yanzhi smiled at her.
"Forget it, dig your own soil. "Maybe there's something underground, so naturally you can't let outsiders come over.
The two of them kept digging the soil underground, until there was a "boom" and the dead wood fell to the ground, and Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief.
During this period, Xu Yichen and Fu both called, and they were both fooled by her.
"How is it?, have you found anything?" Gu Yanran saw Wen Yanzhi squatting down to investigate the soil, and poked his head out suspiciously.
"Dig again. ”
"Huh?" Gu Yanran let out a breath, "It's the end!"
"No, the soil underneath is looser than the top, there should be something underneath. ”
Gu Yanran suspiciously followed Wen Yanzhi and dug up the soil in front of him again.
A quarter of an hour later, Wen Yanzhi could clearly feel that the shovel had touched something hard, and he stopped what he was doing and gently brushed away the soil with his hand.
After a while, a blue-black stone slab appeared in front of him, and Gu Yanran was startled, "Is there really something?"
She stepped forward to help Wen Yanzhi clean up the soil next to her, and a stone slab one meter long and half a meter wide finally appeared clearly, "There are words on it!"
Gu Yanran wiped the dust on it, looked at the deep and shallow nicks, and turned his head to look at Wen Yanzhi, "What is this?"
"It's Sanskrit. Wen Yanzhi glanced at it, took out his mobile phone and took a photo, "I'll find someone to help translate it, and don't touch it until then." ”
Sanskrit?Gu Yanran bowed his head and pondered, Sanskrit is a kind of ancient Indian language, and Buddhism is mostly used, why is there this here?
I have to say that none of the people around Wen Yanzhi are simple, and it will take a while to translate it.
"The Eye of Reincarnation?" Gu Yanran was puzzled.
"Buddhism believes in the three worlds of cause and effect, the six realms of reincarnation, and it is not surprising that there is this. ”
"But it's strange to be here. Gu Yanran immediately retorted, "This used to be my princess's mansion. ”
"Is it strange?" Wen Yanzhi slowly approached her, "How do you explain our affairs?"
"What do you mean...... We entered samsara because of this?"
"It's not certain yet, but the thing of reincarnation has been able to confirm that it really exists, isn't it? If one person has a memory, it may be just a conjecture, and if two people have it, it may be a coincidence, but three people are not......
She understood the truth in Wen Yan's words, that is...... Here's why she's reborn?
Gu Yanran's hand gently stroked the stone slab on the ground, she tried to lift it, but with all her might, the stone slab showed no signs of being moved.
"Don't mess around. Wen Yanzhi separated her unhappily, "When will you be able to change your unafraid temperament, you don't know anything underneath, and you are messing around there?"
"Isn't it still you. Gu Yanran smiled.
Wen Yanzhi couldn't help it, he stretched out his hand to clasp the edge of the slate, and just as he was about to lift the slate, his hand suddenly cooled, and a cold chill penetrated his fingers and pierced straight into his arm, even with a momentary vacancy in his mind.
There seemed to be sounds hitting his brain nerves in all directions, and then they were mixed and blended inside, gradually forming a clear picture:
"Wubei, how are things going?"
"Master, the subordinates think about it or put it in the princess's mansion, first, the master can investigate the situation at any time, and second, this six-dynasty pine tree in the mansion is long-lived, if it can live for more than a thousand years, then the princess can be reincarnated is more likely. ”
"Yes......" Wang Ying looked at the tree in front of her, "What if it didn't live that long?
"Master, since Master Hui En said so, then you should believe that he is. ** for the princess to shelter, the subordinates are also ready, now that Liu Chuyu is dead, no one will know the location of the tomb anymore, so there will be no problems, and please rest assured that the master is just ......"
"But what?"
Wubei hesitated for a while, "To nourish the soul with a tree, you have to rely on essence blood, this move may be too dangerous, if the master doesn't make another plan, this six Chaosong is not necessarily him."
"From now on, come to me on this day of the month to get a bowl of blood. Wang Ying glanced at Wubei and turned to leave.
He didn't take two steps, he stopped, the softness in his eyes couldn't be ignored, "Wubei, don't lose the brocade box under the tree, leave it there for her, she won't be able to find it when she comes back in the future, I'm afraid she will annoy me again." ”
Wubei glanced at Wang Ying, his eyes were full of bitterness, "Yes"
"Words, words!"
A voice called him back.
The sadness in his eyes didn't have time to hide, and was discovered by Gu Yanran, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, this slate shouldn't be opened, so forget it, let's go, let's go back first." Wen Yanzhi tilted his head over, trying to avoid Gu Yanran's eyes.
Gu Yanran frowned, they had worked so hard to make this
dug it out, and finally found something new, but he suddenly said go back?
Wen Yanzhi is very wrong, there must be something hidden from her.
Gu Yanran smiled at Wen Yanzhi, "Then will you give me the key to the old mansion?"
Wen Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, how could he not know what Gu Yanran was thinking, he slowly approached her, and said with a smile: "Give you the key? It's not impossible, generally speaking, I will give one to my family, huh, what do you think?"
Gu Yanran was shy for a while, pushed him away, snorted and turned around and walked towards the door.
Her eyes suddenly became gloomy the moment she turned around, how could she not know that Wen Yanzhi was just teasing her, but he was just hiding himself, the key, he naturally couldn't give it to her.
He also began to have ...... I don't want to tell her the secret......
Wen Yanzhi saw Gu Yanran walk away, and turned around to look at the dead wood that fell to the ground.
He now finally knows why the strange thing happened before that the root of the tree sucked blood, this tree should have sucked his blood for decades, and it was all cultivated into essence, and he didn't make any more offerings after he died, this tree was extremely sensitive to blood, and after Gu Yanran's blood flowed out, he sucked it all away.
Although he has regained some of his memory, he is not ready to talk to Gu Yanran about it.
"What are you still doing there, why don't you hurry up?" Gu Yanran's voice came from afar.
"It's coming. Wen Yanzhi relieved the melancholy in his heart, what about the things in his previous life, Gu Yanran didn't stand by his side now, this was enough.
Gu Yanran, who was sitting in the car, remembered what he wanted to say to Wen Yanzhi, "I remembered the person on that portrait, it was a little palace maid beside Liu Chuyu, how could you remember her appearance?"
This answer was unexpected by Wen Yan, he thought it would be an important person, "I don't know, I dreamed at night, I dreamed of you many times, at first the face was not clear at all, but then suddenly one day, the figure in the dream suddenly had a face, and it was like that." How much more do you know?"
Gu Yanran shook his head, "There are many things I don't know. In other words, if you remember anything, you must tell me!"
"Good. This time, Wen Yanzhi's confidence was not so sufficient, and from the beginning, he was ready to hide some things.
Wen Yanzhi naturally changed the topic and said, "How is your grandfather going to deal with the affairs of the Gu family?"
Gu Yanran shook his head, "I don't know, the strange thing is that since yesterday, my grandfather has not mentioned the matter of the Gu family, only Xu Yichen has asked me, what do you think my grandfather means?"
Before Wen Yanzhi could get an answer, Gu Yanran's thoughts were interrupted by the suddenly vibrating mobile phone.
There was another text message from an unfamiliar number on the phone:
'You're dying. ’
Gu Yanran flipped over the phone and put it back in her pocket, her face gradually became gloomy, although she knew that it was sent by Xu Jiayu and could be completely ignored, but after seeing it, she still couldn't accept it.
"What's wrong?" Wen Yanzhi naturally noticed a subtle change in her.
"Nothing, spam. Gu Yanran pretended not to care and smiled.
As soon as the words fell, the phone began to vibrate again, Gu Yanran didn't hold back, but still took out the phone, and the line on it stinged her eyes:
You won't survive this winter. ’
She clutched her phone tightly, her fingers a little white.
"Whose news?" This time, Wen Yanzhi's voice sank significantly.
"It's okay, spam text messages, always send me lately, it's very annoying. Gu Yanran turned her head out the window, she didn't want Wen Yanzhi to find out about her abnormality.
She replied to the unfamiliar number with a message:
'What exactly do you want?'
Then she turned the phone vibrate to silent, and after a while, the message came in again:
'Come to Tomb No. 7 and look for me. ’
Gu Yanran then deleted all the chat history, put the phone in his pocket, and closed his eyes to hide his uneasiness.
Why did Xu Jiayu keep sending her these contents for the past two days, why did she go to Tomb No. 7 twice, and what was her intention?
"Xu Jiayu asked you to find her again?"
"No!" Gu Yanran, who was already hiding her thoughts, didn't think carefully about his words at all, and subconsciously replied, and when she reacted, she realized that Wen Yanzhi was trapping her words, and she tried her best to cover it up, "No, it's not Xu Jiayu." ”
Wen Yanzhi knew that she was lying, but he didn't expose her, but just said, "Her words are not credible." ”
"I know ......"
Gu Yanran took out his mobile phone again, and there was a new message in it:
'What? Don't you believe it? Gu Yanran, I have a way to make you live past the age of twenty. ’
Gu Yanran felt that she had died once before, and she had already looked down on life and death, but in fact, she only found out now that in the face of death, she was still very cowardly, not to mention, she now had a reason not to want to die.
Twenty years old...... Why is it twenty years old......
Xu Jiayu's words are not necessarily true...... But what if it's true?
Just as Gu Yanran was hesitating, the breathing light on his mobile phone began to flash, and another text message popped out:
Don't you want to know what happened after you died? If you come, I can tell you. ’
The author has something to say: (Two chapters in two days in one, not for any reason, just because I'm a little lazy and don't want to split it into two chapters, hahahahaha)
The puzzles are going to be uncovered one by one, and when I was writing about the ending, I realized how I had buried so many pits before, and I was going to die, and I really filled them one by one...... Head split.
