123. Flaws (plus)
When he escaped from the underground siege with me before, he had already thought that there must be a passage in this space. In addition, Xie Fu's last words accidentally revealed the secret, they are already there, and they are powerless to control the sky, how can they still be sure that we will die?
"Did you hear all the movement here when we were at the altar?" I looked at Xie Xiaoqin's gloomy and hateful eyes and asked. She seemed extremely unwilling, gritted her teeth and said, "That's right, I'm down there, and I can hear your movements clearly." ”
"So you want to avenge your father and grandfather?"
As soon as I asked, she laughed, and asked back with sarcastic eyes: "Who said they are my father and grandfather?" ”
...... This answer was not only unexpected, but even surprised me, Xie Fu didn't say it, but Xie Tianyuan, father Xie, was very scruptuous, both in her demeanor and in her words, and it was because of this that I found an opportunity to avoid his knife.
Xie Xiaoqin saw that I was suspicious, and there was disdain in his eyes: "If the three old things hadn't been shown the way by me, they thought that they could find the way to the top with their intelligence?" ”
I listened to her words and looked at her attitude, and I couldn't help but believe it.
I saw her raise her head, her face gradually became reverent, and she said in a very soft voice: "Listen to how touching this voice is, thanks to the introduction of your blood with them, otherwise how can this blood qi be reactivated after the sand table is reset?" ”
I subconsciously looked at Gu Xi, and he didn't speak for a while, just standing there frowning at the top of the place where the black pipe was inserted. As he crept up to him, he glanced down at me, a look I couldn't read. Seeing that he raised his head again, and followed that line of sight, suddenly I understood what Gu Xi was looking at.
If these four pipes are embedded in the top wall, it is possible to drain into the center, but the one inserted into Xie Xiaoqin's wrist is straight up, how can the blood flow backwards? But I look at Xie Xiaoqin's wrist, from the blood that was originally inserted into the tube by Gu Xi everywhere, not a drop has flowed down at this time, and even the blood on the wrist has coagulated, what's going on?
The pulse of man is cut off, and it is absolutely impossible to leave only this little blood.
Looking at her face again, it was indeed getting paler, but it was still pious and still without the slightest hint of pain, as if she was completing a sacred ritual. I can't help but wonder if blood can really flow back?
I was thinking about this, but Gu Xi was not, and his whisper came from his ear: "Haven't you seen the strangeness on the top?" ”
"What's the matter?"
He said, "What did I look for you for the first time?" ”
Looking for me for the first time? In his ancient mansion? I looked up again, and suddenly, my gaze froze. After a while, I turned my head to look at Gu Xi, and from his expression, I understood that the "first time" I just said was not the first time I met him, but that he came to the school to find me, in order to restore the bronze square vessel.
In the center of the convergence of the four tubes at the top, there is a shallow outline imprint, which seems to me to be very similar in scale to the bronze square. But looking at Gu Xi's expression, with his accurate visual inspection of the scale, I am afraid it should be completely consistent.
If there are not two bronze square vessels in this world, then the one of Gu Xi was once covered directly above this.
The fragment pattern on the stone door, the bronze carving that has been restored in the square vessel, finally found a connection point here. However, there are more questions, since there is also a bronze square here, with this ventilated and dry environment, it will not be too corrosive, it stands to reason that Xie Xiaoqin can know the meaning of the fragment of the stone gate, why is it hidden in the painting written to me, let me help her piece it together?
Still is...... The pattern of the square vessel that once covered here is different from the one in Guxi, and the picture of Lao Tzu riding a green ox that has been restored is nothing special, does it take two or more pieces to be pieced together to unlock the secret?
Just as he was pondering, he suddenly heard a pop, and when he looked down, he saw Xie Xiaoqin fall to the ground, and then the black pipe also fell off the top. But the strange thing is that there should be a hole in the center of the top, but when I saw Xie Xiaoqin lying soft on the ground and looked up again, it was flat, not at all like it had been pierced by the black pipe.
It's really... It's so weird!
That Xie Xiaoqin obviously lost too much blood and his face was colorless, Gu Xi's figure flashed and approached, just hearing a scream, my heart couldn't help but tighten, and I rushed over with an arrow step, only to find that Gu Xi just pulled out the black pipe on Xie Xiaoqin's wrist, and didn't really kill her. And only then did she seem to feel the pain, clutching the pierced wrist, and her body trembled.
I saw that her breath was even very weak, and she frowned and asked Gu Xi, "Is she still saved?" ”
"It is forgivable to do sins in heaven, but you cannot live for your own sins." In a faint sentence, a person's life has been determined. I still felt my heart sinking, but Xie Xiaoqin smiled instead, "I've been waiting for you for so many years, but you don't have an answer here, it's no longer possible." The confused eyes seemed to have no love, and seeing that she only said a few words as if her breath was getting weaker, I couldn't help but ask, "Is her blood drained?" ”
But I heard Gu Xi answer: "It's not that the blood is dry, but the vitality in her body is sucked away by the stone pan." ”
I don't quite understand the meaning of anger, the blood can still be seen with the naked eye after cutting through the skin, but anger is too abstract. But I can also understand what Gu Xi meant, after a person loses blood, he may be able to save his life urgently, but if a person is not angry, the so-called life must be alive to live.
I half-squatted beside Xie Xiaoqin, looked at her increasingly weak eyes and asked softly, "Can you tell me what I wrote in my reply to you back then?" That's the only answer I want to get from her pen pal, because it probably has to do with why I forgot that memory.
But I saw a weird smile on the corner of her mouth, and said slowly, "I won't tell you." ”
Staring at that face, disappointment slowly creeping into my heart, I knew she really wouldn't say it. But listening to a soft snort above his head, Gu Xi said arrogantly: "It's not that you won't tell us, but you don't know at all." ”
I looked back at him, not knowing why he was saying that. And he didn't look at me, just stared at Xie Xiaoqin with cold eyes and asked, "Do you know where your flaws are?" ”
Xie Xiaoqin: "I don't know what you're talking about. ”
Gu Xi said word by word: "You don't know how to draw at all, and you don't even know how to draw." ”
I was stunned, if this is judged by me, it may be more convincing, but he doesn't know how to paint, how can he judge Xie Xiaoqin? After a while, I had an epiphany when I heard what he said, he couldn't paint, but he could learn from the past.
"This sacrificial plate and the stone gate of the city wall are at least more than a thousand years old, how can Zhang Daqian's paintings appear here?"
I was stunned, and my intuition raised my head and glanced around, and I lied that the pieces in the painting were pieced together from the "Songshan Wonderland" and I didn't think deeply, especially I didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary stone gate and stone plate were actually thousands of years old, which means that this space is likely to have existed for more than a thousand years. And Zhang Daqian is just a celebrity in the last century, and the time is completely wrong, Xie Xiaoqin doesn't know this alone, which only shows that she has no research on painting at all.
And how could a person who could hide a painting in a painting twelve years ago not even understand this flawed lie I told? Even now, Xie Xiaoqin is still confused, she doesn't understand what Gu Xi means.
All the conclusions that were thought to have been deduced have to be completely overturned, and the mystery is getting bigger and bigger.
If she's not my pen pal, then why would she know about my pen name and about the fragments? And why did she look like she had been waiting for me for a long time? Who is that pen pal, is it another person in this town?
Gu Xi's daze at Xie Xiaoqin only lightly lost two words of sarcasm: "Ignorance." Then he shook his head and walked around this place, and then said: "It's a pity that this place, because that person has a deep mind, and finally let such an ignorant woman manipulate the sacrificial plate." Even if I hadn't come today, this place would have been destroyed in less than three years. ”
Xie Xiaoqin's color changed when she heard this, and she blurted out, "How do you know?" ”
Gu Xi didn't disdain her this time, but pointed to the top and said: "Originally, the color on this top was emerald green, but now it has turned gray and black, and it will become dark in less than three years, so it will gradually wither and die." ”
Just by looking at Xie Xiaoqin's face, I knew that what Gu Xi said was true, and I was shocked when I listened to it, why did he mean that the top wall was alive? Will you die of old age?
Xie Xiaoqin was muttering in her mouth, and I listened carefully, as if I heard: "... He said it was only fifteen years...... It's true. ”
I immediately asked, "Who is he?" ”
But Xie Xiaoqin seemed to have not heard my words at all, immersed in her own thoughts, and her eyes became more and more sad.
Gu Xi walked up to her abruptly and squatted down with his back to me, "Are you tired of staying here for twelve years?" I don't know why, but even though his voice was still cool, I felt much softer than before.
And Xie Xiaoqin's reaction was unexpectedly big, her whole body seemed to be shaken again, and then she stared at Gu Xi's lips trembling in disbelief, and there were tears in her eyes in an instant, "You are Brother Yu?" ”
