157 Gardenia
Ah, this seems to be a spirit array!
Through his previous experience, he discovered that these seemingly messy, child-like graffiti-like things turned out to be spirit arrays. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"This is a bit strange, could it be that an Awakened Person has been here before, so why did he draw a spirit circle here?" He crouched down and studied it carefully.
The Spirit Array is extraordinary, it contains complex and cumbersome knowledge, which is more difficult to learn than today's advanced mathematics, and most awakened people can't learn it, and he is one of them.
Coupled with the need for a variety of rare materials, it is even more of a disillusionment for most awakened people.
If Yan Junzi came over, he should have discovered something, but he didn't know anything about the spirit array, so he had no choice but to give up the research.
However, I still found something, of course, not the effect of the spirit array, but I saw a very strange plant not far away.
It is said to be strange because its leaves are not normal green, it is late autumn, but it is the same thick green as spring.
That's it, after all, gardenias are evergreen plants in all seasons, and the strangest thing is that they are still blooming!
The flowers are white and a little dazzling, shining with a faint brilliance in the sunlight, and the petals are stretched to their heart's content, and they are even more eye-catching against the background of the thick green leaves, like white elves frolicking on the green branches.
It is as if it has burned life, blooming without reservation, swearing its existence to the world.
"Hey, I remember that the gardenias seemed to bloom from May to July, why are they blooming so vigorously now?" Su Mo muttered to himself in confusion.
He seemed to detect a strange aura from the flowers, but when he looked closely, he didn't see anything special, only that he felt a hint of decay mixed with vigorous vitality.
At this time, the old woman who led them into the courtyard came over, and a smile appeared on her wrinkled face, "These two gardenia trees were planted by my grandfather himself, and they are hundreds of years old. ”
"Ah, it's a long history. Also, it turned out to be two trees, and I thought it was one. Su Mo was surprised.
After seeing the old woman walking tremblingly, he hurried over to help her. Fortunately, he is not very tall, otherwise he would have to bend over very hard.
"What a good boy with good manners." After the old woman praised him, the smile on her face turned into a flower, and she said full of memories: "At that time, my grandfather and grandmother were talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven. They also looked at each other correctly, and my grandfather got a reputation and married my grandmother, a rich lady. On the second day of their wedding, they each planted a gardenia tree as a testimony of their love......
Su Mo listened to the old man's description, and the affectionate picture flashed in his mind, and his heart was also full of imagination.
The lifespan of human beings is very short, but compared to youkai, humans rarely waste their time. will always leave his own traces in this world, and since then he has lived in the memory of future generations, which can be regarded as another kind of immortality.
Perhaps, these two trees are the thoughts of the couple, which gave birth to a little spirituality.
"Grandma, how old are you? How can you only be seen here alone? He held the other party and talked slowly.
"Alas, I'm eighty years old, and I'm about to get old and can't walk. It's so desolate that the young people don't want to stay here with me, an old woman, and the little girl comes to see me every day. The old man sighed, his somewhat cloudy eyes full of loneliness.
"Grandma, this place is indeed a bit out of the way, why don't you leave here?"
"I've been living here for most of my life, and I don't want to leave, so if I can't get up one day, I'll bury myself with the old man......"
"Grandma, you said that again! Mom and Dad don't want to pick you up and enjoy your happiness, what's there to stay in this broken house? ”
A girl in a tracksuit ran over and grumbled, her ponytail dangling behind her. He doesn't look much older than him, he should be eighteen or nineteen years old.
She didn't say anything after glancing at Su Mo, and left directly with her grandmother in her arms. After walking more than a dozen steps, he suddenly turned his head and said mysteriously: "Boy, don't come out at will at night, otherwise you will bump into an ominous one!" ”
"What a stupid thing to say." The old man patted her lightly, turned around and smiled: "It's nothing, this girl scares you to play." ”
"Well, I don't care." Su Mo replied. It's a little funny in my heart, it seems that I have seen more youkai than the other party has seen more animals.
……
Lunch was served at a small restaurant nearby, not to mention, it looks very unprosperous, but there are delicious snacks from all over the world. Knife-cut noodles, mutton steamed buns, dumplings and wontons are all available, which are not only cheap but also very affordable, at least much more cost-effective than school canteens.
After eating, Su Mo and the others wandered around for a while before going back.
There is only an ordinary citizen park nearby, and there are no memorable attractions, and the nearest tower park is also a half-hour bus ride away.
Sadly, this ancient house is so old that there is no electricity, and everyone can only light candles for lighting, let alone watch TV.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaocai deliberately brought two or two decks of poker, and a few people were idle and bored and began to spend the long night playing cards.
Su Mo didn't get involved, but took out a book from his schoolbag and looked at it with relish in the dim candlelight.
His body has long evolved towards a non-human, let alone reading like this, he can see clearly even if he walks in the dark, not to mention whether it will damage his eyes.
"Hey, why am I losing again? If you don't play, you'll be cheating! Bai Xiaocai lost a few handfuls in a row, his face was covered with notes, he couldn't help it anymore, and threw away the cards directly in annoyance.
The note was written with words such as "Wang Ba" and "puppy", and several people stipulated that they would go to the next room to go around after not playing, as a punishment.
Xu Zongshou sneered: "Cut, it's purely your own brain, you don't remember what cards you play, you play cards chaotically, and it's strange if you don't lose." ”
"Playing cards is just for fun, why do you spend so much brains?" Bai Xiaocai didn't mind at all, then scratched his hair, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a smile: "Everyone, it's the third watch ghost knocking on the door in the middle of the night, let's just take turns telling ghost stories, right?" ”
"Just talk about it, who is afraid of whom!" Xu Zongshou was not to be outdone, and he should be the first to make peace.
"No comment." Zhou Tao nodded.
"Something isn't quite right, right?" Li Fanyu hesitated, as if he was already a little scared.
"Hehe, Xiao Lizi, they are all pure masters, they are afraid of ghost stories, and they are not afraid of jokes when they say it." Bai Xiaocai leaned over and grabbed his shoulders and squeezed.
Lu Shang put the poker away, but he didn't object.
"Momo, do you want to come along?" Bai Xiaocai greeted.
Su Mo closed the book and smiled, "I'm happy to accompany you." ”
Ghost stories?
I'm not telling some nonsense ghost stories, but personal experience, and if I don't scare them, even if I lose!
