Chapter Twenty-Eight: Borrowing Spring to Enjoy Flowers and Burnt Bone Peony

We knew that what was in front of us was the ultimate truth hidden in the first layer of the Vientiane Shrine, but there was nothing we could do.

Wu Ze is naturally suspicious, and this is extremely important to her, and we are only afraid that it will lead to self-destruction under our rash exploration, and everyone can only look at Chen Gong for a while, and dare not move.

After all, this is the art of the mechanism, and the people present are naturally no more proficient than Chen Gong when it comes to the mechanism, and we have the heart to ask, but we are afraid that the pressure on him will disturb his thoughts, so we have to wait quietly on the side.

Of course Chen Gong understood what we meant, although he didn't say a word, he kept pacing back and forth around the dragon couch, sometimes looking at the dragon couch in front of him, sometimes bowing his head and thinking deeply, his brows were tightly knit and his expression was serious.

Qi Zhi is different from our anxiety, she is a child, and she knows that she will never be able to crack this mechanism with her own skills, so she simply ignores this problem and begins to pay attention to the exquisite and gorgeous patterns on the Silk Treasure Tent.

When she saw us with a sad face, for fear of disturbing Chen Gong's thoughts, she silently counted the number of patterns in her idleness, and after counting, she couldn't help but praise it.

"Wu Zetian is really gorgeous, this Ayaluo treasure tent is extremely gorgeous, I have nothing to do to count, there are no more, no less, exactly a hundred kinds of flowers."

Originally, Qi Zhi just said it casually, but after hearing what she said, Xue Nan and Niu Kelian looked stunned and asked in unison.

"A hundred?"

Qi Zhi saw Xue Nan and Niu Kelian's reaction, thinking that she had said something wrong, and responded to the two in confusion.

"Yes, what's the problem, I just counted, there are no more and no less flower patterns on this treasure tent, exactly a hundred, I don't believe you can count them yourself."

Niu Kelian frowned, and after hearing Qi Zhi's answer, he turned to look at the Ayaluo Treasure Tent, and said in a deep voice while counting the flowers on it.

"Impossible, there shouldn't be a hundred kinds of flowers on this Ayara treasure tent."

I watched his unusual reaction and knew that he might have remembered something, so I hurriedly asked.

"Ke Lian, why can't there be a hundred kinds of flowers on this treasure tent, what is the mystery in it?"

"Because of what I just said about Wu Zetian borrowing spring to enjoy flowers, there is actually a follow-up story in the legend."

Before Niu Kelian could speak, Xue Nan, who was surprised at the same time as him, preemptively gave me an answer.

"Have you ever heard of a flower called the Scorched Bone Peony?"

Scorched peony?

Because my mother loved flowers, when I was young, my house was full of flowers, and I naturally had some knowledge of these flowers.

"If I'm not mistaken, this scorched peony is a type of peony, which originated from Luoyang red in the Tang Dynasty and is the only peony species named after Luoyang.

But what does this scorched peony have to do with Wu Zetian, could it be that the name of this scorched peony was given by Wu Zetian? ”

Xue Nan shook her head when she heard my answer, she and Niu Kelian glanced at each other, and then slowly spoke, telling us the story about the scorched peony in her mouth.

"As I have just said, in the second year of the Heavenly Grant, there are ministers who intend to rebel, and the ministers with evil intentions falsely claim that the flowers are in full bloom, and ask Wu Zetian to come to the Shendu Garden to enjoy the flowers.

Wu Zetian is the emperor's order, corresponding to the true dragon son of heaven, she used this edict to inform the god of flowers to order the hundred flowers to bloom on the day, and the hundred flowers were afraid of Wu Zetian's edict, which bloomed overnight, but only one flower was strong and unyielding, and the resistance did not open. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xuan confirmed to her with a guessing opening.

"Could it be that this flower that does not bloom is the scorched bone peony?"

"The flower that resists and does not bloom is the peony."

Xue Nan nodded and shook his head, gave us a plausible answer, and then continued to explain for us.

Wu Zetian was furious when he saw that the peony disobeyed the emperor's order, so he demoted the peony to Luoyang, and as soon as the peony arrived in Luoyang, he raised his head and burst into anger, which angered Wu Zetian even more, so Wu Zetian, who was furious, ordered someone to set fire to the peony.

His subordinates did not dare to disobey Wu Zetian's will, and were ordered to set a fire, but the peony was strong and unyielding, although the branches were scorched by the fire, but in the spring of the second year, it bloomed more vigorously, because this Luoyang peony was anxious in the fire but unswerving, so the descendants praised it as a scorched peony. ”

After listening to this, we looked up and down, and found that it was indeed as Xue Nan said, there was a peony pattern on the treasure tent, and it was very similar to the description of the story she told, the flowers were blooming with their heads high, but the branches were scorched black.

Now, we finally understand the origin of this so-called scorched bone peony, if this story is true, then this scorched bone peony does have some connection with Wu Zetian.

As the so-called rich and noble can't be lewd, the poor and lowly can't be moved, and the mighty can't be bent.

Qi Zhi didn't expect her casual words to make us make new discoveries, she looked at the scorched peony in front of her seriously, and the openings were full of differences.

"Then there are indeed some problems, since the scorched bone peony disobeyed Wu Zetian's edict of a hundred flowers blooming, how could Wu Zetian embroider it here, it is unreasonable."

I thought to myself, as the saying goes, if something happens, it will be a demon anyway, and since the scorched bone peony appears here, there are only two possibilities.

The first possibility is that this story is fake, and there is no so-called scorched peony story.

The second possibility is that this story is indeed true, but Wu Zetian has a reason why he must leave a peony pattern here.

And whether the story is true or not, it doesn't really matter anymore, this story can only prove one thing.

That is, Wu Zetian must let future generations remember the scorched bone peony, perhaps this scorched bone peony is the key here.

Chen Gong didn't say a word after hearing this, he silently walked to the dragon couch, while looking at the scorched peony on the Ayaluo treasure tent, and at the same time looking at the dragon couch under the treasure tent, after looking carefully for a long time, his brows finally began to stretch.

Chen Gong smiled confidently at us, no longer hesitated, and then motioned with his eyes for us to stay away from here and start his own time.

I saw him stretch out his hands, first covering his right hand on the scorched bone peony on the treasure tent, and then his left hand stretched out quickly, grasping the silk thread connecting the Ayaluo treasure tent and the dragon couch, his hands trembled rhythmically at the same time, and his eyebrows were full of confidence.

With his movements, the dragon couch in front of him did not make any big movements as we expected, and we were worried about whether Chen Gong's judgment was wrong, so we saw the Ayaluo treasure tent in front of us slowly parting from the middle silently.

We looked at each other, excited.

Chen Gong really lived up to expectations, and he successfully cracked the last mechanism on the dragon couch.

And now we can finally get a glimpse of the secrets inside this dragon couch. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of "Guanshan Chronicle Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
