These pebbles are round and almost the same in size, and their black and white color is unique to Taihu Lake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When this trail was paved, because my mother loved it, my father specially asked people to salvage and transport it from Taihu Lake, and ordered people to be selected and polished one by one, which really took a lot of effort.

Originally, there were rows of black pebbles and rows of white pebbles, paved with each other, but looking at the place where Ji Xiang Ruyi's line of sight could see, Gu Yuqing saw at a glance that the pebbles under his feet were all black in four rows.

No wonder auspicious Ruyi is surprised.

Mother has always been particular about these things, how can she allow people to make such mistakes!

If it's not wrong, it's deliberate.

Gu Yuqing's heart suddenly tightened, and the hand holding the handkerchief couldn't help but exert force.

Leaning down on the ground to look at the pebbles, although they were black in four rows, but other than that, there was no other difference for a while.

Gu Yuqing's body blocked the red twilight, and cast a huge black shadow on the pebbles, surrounding them, and under the black shadows, the pebbles became more and more radiant with the unique cold luster of the stone, black and black, with a temptation that people couldn't help but want to explore.

The red lips were pursed, his face was slightly gloomy, staring at the pebbles in a daze for a moment, thinking of Shenyu's request, Gu Yuqing's eyebrows moved, he took a breath and got up slowly, and ordered: "Go and get the rowan." ”

Not far from the small garden was where the gardener who took care of the garden lived, and in a blink of an eye, Ruyi went to the rowan of arm length.

"Dig up. Pointing to the four rows of black pebbles on the ground, Gu Yuqing pinched the handkerchief and commanded in a deep voice, with an inexplicable nervousness and impulse in her heart, which made her a little uneasy.

Every instruction or task of Shenyu can have a huge impact on her life, and she can't imagine what secrets will be buried under the silver myrtle tree given by the Queen Mother on this mother's favorite path.

Or is it just an accident?

With the "clang" sound of the rowan and the pebbles, Gu Yuqing's heart was complicated, and every knock seemed to hit her heart.

The sun has a tendency to gradually set, but he still cherishes the last trace of fireworks in the world, and refuses to leave, only burning the clouds in the sky red.

The scorching sun can make people scorch, but in the evening, because it is not yet three dog days, but there is a cool breeze blowing, and this is a small wooded garden, this wind is a little more chilly than elsewhere.

The breeze gusted, blowing the corners of Gu Yu's green goose yellow skirt flying and flipping.

About half a pillar of incense had passed, and when it was dark, Ruyi finally dug up the four rows of pebbles, revealing the charred yellow soil below.

Suddenly, the three of them had six eyes, staring in one direction in unison, for a moment, almost stopping breathing.

A rowan dug down, it was soft soil, and it should be very easy to dig, but halfway down the rowan was blocked by something and couldn't go any further, Ruyi suddenly frowned, and looked up at Gu Yuqing, "Miss, there seems to be something underneath this." ”

Hearing the sound, Gu Yuqing's hand holding the handkerchief shook suddenly, Rao was prepared, but his heart still trembled unconsciously, his steps moved forward, he squatted down again, took the rowan from Ruyi's hand, and carefully pushed the soil away layer by layer.

During this period, Ji Xiang Ruyi asked to take over the rowan in Gu Yuqing's hands several times, but Gu Yuqing vetoed it.

She shouldn't have done such a thing, but she felt in her heart that she had to do it.

Auspicious Ruyi is helpless, and it is worth surrounding her left and right, just in case.

After digging a small pit about a foot deep, a boxy wooden box was exposed in the pit.

It was already dark, and with the light of the moon in the sky, it was impossible to see the color and material of the box, let alone the intricate patterns carved on it.

Gu Yuqing had no choice but to put a handkerchief on the box first and take it out, but fortunately, the box was only the size of a book, and it was not too heavy.

The rowan was handed over to Ruyi, helped Jixiang to stand up, patted the dust on his hands and skirt, and Gu Yuqing ordered, "Tell the steward that tomorrow he will invite a craftsman to restore this place." ”

Ruyi took the order and left, and Gu Yuqing helped Jixiang to leave.

Back to Tongyuan, as soon as he entered the house, Gu Yuqing asked Jixiang to add a few more lamps, and when Ruyi hurried back, Gu Yuqing happened to be sitting down at the table, and was wiping off the soil on the box with a handkerchief, and his movements were very gentle and careful.

Ruyi quietly stood side by side with auspiciousness, standing behind Gu Yuqing.

Under the bright light, Gu Yuqing recognized that this was a fine rosewood box, and ...... Such a good red sandalwood, there is no one in the Hou Mansion of China.

In other words, this box is not an object of the Marquis of China.

The patterns on the box are also carved very cumbersome and weird, not the common vine branches on weekdays, nor are they rich and auspicious, but they are more like some strange animals, but what those animals are, Gu Yuqing can't identify any of them.

Gu Yuqing had read from books that in places like Miaojiang, Huiyu, and Tianshan, some aliens would have their own unique totems, and most of those totems were ancient divine beasts, which were the gods they admired.

The four words of the ancient divine beast slid past the tip of his heart, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but touch the "Heavenly Machine" tied around his waist, his heart moved, and he said to Ji Xiang Ruyi: "You guys go down first." ”

This divine jade, it's just a poisonous tongue, but there is still a shy problem, and you can't speak in front of people!

Gu Yuqing was really speechless about it.

After Ji Xiang Ruyi closed the door, Gu Yuqing said to Shenyu: "Have you woken up? Come and see what this is?"

When the words fell, except for a candle that happened to burst, there was a "crackling" sound, and it was quiet.

Gu Yuqing had no choice but to study this box while waiting for the "heavenly machine" to haunt itself.

Since he was a child, he has seen several mechanisms designed by the masters of the Mo family, and Gu Yuqing is quite keen about these mechanism buttons, and soon, he found something strange on the left side of this box.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Gu Yuqing reached out to press it, but she didn't expect her to be really lucky, the moment the mechanism was touched, with the sound of "bang", the lid at the top of the box bounced open.

Gu Yuqing quickly turned his head sideways and leaned over to the side.

It is recorded in the book that the clansmen in those regions like to arrange some poisonous and hidden weapons in the secret compartment of the mechanism, so as to teach a lesson to those who rashly touch the mechanism.

I listened sideways, looked closely, but I didn't see an imaginary poisonous arrow shooting, and there was not a single wisp of green smoke and white smoke coming out, everything was normal.

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but shake her head and smile at her own actions.
