Chapter 36 Plum Blossoms Are Easy to Count
My scalp buzzed, and I immediately realized that when I asked the question just now, the two Zhu Feiyue didn't say the answer to the question!
Seeing that Su Yao and I were stunned, Zhu Feiyue let go of my arm and said with a smile: "Teasing you two, look at the two children." ”
"My daughter-in-law's name is Mei Yanzi, 18 years old, we got married in Jeho Village, do you want me to call her out?" Seeing that we still didn't believe it, Zhu Feiyue shrugged helplessly.
Su Yao rushed forward and kicked him the thigh: "What time is it?" Are you still in the mood for a joke? ”
Zhu Feiyue covered his leg in pain, and walked in front aggrievedly, this kid is joking regardless of priority, last time in Jedo Village, I was almost scared to death by him. gave Su Yao a kick and kicked him honestly.
Because the three units were opened up and connected together, the ninth floor was particularly narrow and long, and the three of us made a few turns in the dark, and finally came to the temple that Zhu Feiyue said.
Ahead was an open space, an eerie temple, in front of the view, the gate locked, and in front of the door were two unicorn-like sculptures.
I gasped and wondered if this temple had existed when the construction party had closed the ninth floor, or had it been built artificially later?
What is the purpose of building a temple in such a fierce place?
Just as I was thinking about how to enter the temple, there was a rustling sound of water in the corridor behind me.
Su Yao and I hurriedly retreated, and Zhu Feiyue blocked in front of us, only to see that the ghosts who had been led away by him before had all returned, and the leader was the woman in white.
There is no way back.
The strange thing is that after those ghosts appeared, they kept standing at the entrance of the building, and they didn't dare to step forward.
"They didn't dare to come near this temple." Zhu Feiyue smiled and withdrew the flashlight.
I breathed a sigh of relief, my back drenched with sweat.
Su Yao also ignored those yin spirits anymore, looked around, her eyes locked on the two unicorns, and after stepping forward to check them, she beckoned to us: "Look, there is a gossip map here." ”
I went over and took a look, only to see that on the back of the unicorn on the left, there was a mechanism similar to a gossip map, and after looking at it twice, I immediately felt that something was wrong.
I've seen what the gossip map looks like, and in the gossip map in front of me, the whole hexagram is all messed up, and there is nothing to look like gossip, but it's actually completely messed together.
In front of each hexagram, there is a small piece of iron that can be pushed up and down, and there is a scale on it.
The three of us gathered in front of the gossip agency and studied the meeting, but we couldn't make up our minds. We have seen what gossip looks like, but the mystery in it contains all aspects of the universe, and for us, it is no different from reading a book from heaven.
Su Yao used her fingers to pluck the iron block, trying to restore the gossip map, but she didn't expect that after just a few strokes, the iron block automatically retracted again.
"No, you have to push the iron blocks in the correct order to open the mechanism, and this thing is like a combination lock." Su Yao frowned.
When I heard the word password, a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I hurriedly took out my mobile phone and found a message about the reincarnation of death:
"Go to Jedo Mountain with Fu Taiping, and reward the password of the first gate: Kan 3, Kun 5, Gen 1, and Li 2."
This is the message sent by the death cycle before we went to Jedo Mountain, it turns out that the first gate it said was the gate of this temple?
According to the prompts on the message, I carefully dialed the iron according to the hexagram position, and sure enough, when all the four hexagrams were in place, there was a low sound in the rear gate.
The door slowly opened.
Inside was a small dark courtyard, and in the main hall opposite, there was a dim light, and there were bursts of women's cries.
The cry was sinister and piercing, giving people a strong sense of crisis.
"Whatever, it's coming, go in and take a look." Zhu Feiyue was the first to drill in.
We followed, the yard was paved with green bricks, red walls and tiles, full of ancient atmosphere, and even I saw a few potted plants, because of the lack of light, the plants in them had long since withered.
Walking through the small courtyard and coming to the temple, Zhu Fei rushed in with a big grin, I stopped him and knocked politely on the door.
The crying in the room immediately stopped, and I coughed and said, "We were introduced by Master Mei." ”
There was silence for a while, and a sigh came: "Come in." ”
The temple space is quite spacious, cleaned up, with some simple old furniture and some clothes hanging on the rope above.
What amazed me was that in the middle of the house, there was a plum tree, and the pink and white plum blossoms were in full bloom, and it looked indescribably poignant.
In this extremely dark environment, no plant has the conditions to grow, but this plum tree blooms so delicately.
On the futon under the tree, a woman sits.
She was wearing a dark red Tang suit, combing her braids, and she was very attractive, and we had met in the elevator before, but I never thought that she was the person I was looking for.
The woman's face was painted with light makeup, her lips were red and her teeth were white, her long eyelashes were covered with tears, and there was a silence between her eyebrows and eyes, and her gaze swept over us one by one, and finally stopped on my face.
"See you again." She said softly: "When I took the elevator just now, I thought you and I had no chance, so I persuaded you not to come to die, but I didn't expect that you really did it." ”
I nodded politely.
The woman looked out of the door, and her tone became cold: "If you can break into this place, you must also be among the peers, young age, good means, the little woman admires it." ”
I felt the murderous intent in the woman, remembered Mei Lianzhou's instructions, and hurriedly explained: "Sister, you misunderstood, we are not in the circle, I will get a haircut, he is a cook." We are all ordinary people. ”
"Huh?" The woman looked at us with interest: "Who unlocked the gossip mechanism outside the temple gate?" ”
"Me."
The smile on the woman's face grew even stronger, and she looked me up and down and asked, "Isn't that right?" Even if you are proficient in plum blossom easy counting, it is impossible to know that my favorite hexagram is the innate ninth hexagram that symbolizes the flower of death. ”
"Don't tell me you're blind."
I glanced at Su Yao, gave her a rough description of what happened to us, and then handed her my phone and showed her my conversation with the cycle of death.
The woman stared at the phone, her face was cloudy, and she couldn't see any joy or anger, and after a while, she returned the phone to me and said:
"It's strange, our husband and wife have always been alone, and we have no contact with the outside world, even if this person can inquire about my whereabouts, he shouldn't know my preferences."
Seeing that our faces were confused, the woman patiently explained: "The world only knows that plum blossoms are easy to count and have innate gossip, but they don't know that there is a hidden ninth hexagram, and the ninth hexagram means the plum blossom itself, the ancients regarded the plum blossom as the flower of death, because it only blooms in the cold winter, sometimes the plum tree is frozen to death, but the branches are still full of spring, so the plum blossom, also called the other side of the flower, it represents the soul after death, into another world of life." ”
"I like plum blossoms the most, so I use the innate ninth hexagram of plum blossoms as a password to open the door, we have been practicing here for five years, and every year outsiders come to visit, you are the only one who unlocks the code and sees my true face."
Only then did I know that the door opening code represents the ninth hexagram of plum blossoms.
After beckoning us to sit down, the woman introduced herself: "My name is Wang Yan, and my husband's name is Gu Qianchou. ”
She didn't use her husband, but the word husband, which sounded a little awkward.
We all called Sister Wang hello, Wang Yan listened to it very usefully, and said with a smile: "A few children are quite polite." ”
Being able to retreat in such a gloomy place must be a master among the masters, I vaguely feel that this Wang Yan may be more terrifying than Mei Lianzhou, in front of her, how dare you be rude.
Zhu Feiyue said: "Sister Wang is also quite young. ”
Wang Yan looked at Zhu Feiyue: "Young? How old do you think I am? ”
Zhu Feiyue wiped honey with his small mouth: "It's only in your early 20s." ”
Wang Yan ate and smiled: "You kid is too good at talking, I'm almost 50 years old, Mei Lianzhou has to call me the eldest sister." ”
We looked at her in amazement, under the reflection of the candle flame, Wang Yan's eyes showed a faint wrinkle, and her eyes showed traces of time.
This woman is so well maintained.
