Chapter 22: The Mystery
"Uh......" Xiao Zheng sat up with his head covered, the light above his head was very warm on his body, and he actually slept on the roof until noon!
Glancing blankly around, he suddenly looked back at the tiles next to him as if he remembered something, and found that everything was as usual, and there was nothing strange about it, such as broken tiles......
"Was it really a dream yesterday?" Xiao Zheng shook his head and laughed at himself, looking at the sun, it must be too late to go to the academy, so let's just go and see Brother Hua.
Having made up his mind, Xiao Zheng fell from the roof to the ground with a follower, opened the courtyard door and walked towards the south courtyard. Along the way, Xiao Zheng felt that his steps were much lighter, and before he knew it, he was galloping by, startling a burst of birds.
"Granny Wang?" Xiao Zheng suddenly saw Granny Wang pushing the door out of a house, and said in surprise: "Granny Wang, what are you doing here?", Granny Wang squinted her eyes and saw Xiao Zhengdao: "I want to ask you, at this time, I don't go to the school to study, but wander around, and this jade years are wasted......
Xiao Zheng saw that the situation was wrong, and then asked Granny Wang to talk about it, and it was estimated that it would become a preach, so he hurriedly said: "Is Granny Wang Huazhu in the South Courtyard today, I came to find him something", "What good thing can you find him, he is not here, he has not come to the South Courtyard for several days" Granny Wang said.
Xiao Zheng ignored Granny Wang's previous sentence and hurriedly asked: "Is there something wrong with him not coming, then where is he now?", Granny Wang walked into Xiao Zhengdao: "Boy, first advise you to cultivate your own way, you don't have to take care of other people's roads, and you can't manage them."
This inexplicable sentence made him stunned: "What...... What do you mean", "It's okay" Granny Wang said: "They should be in Yuhui Courtyard now", "They?" Xiao Zheng asked: "Is there anyone else?", "Isn't it the second person you are looking for" Granny Wang turned around and left after speaking.
"This year, Qingheguan is really eventful......"
Xiao Zheng faintly heard Granny Wang muttering, and vaguely remembered that anyone had ever said such a thing. "Eventful?" Xiao Zheng said strangely.
didn't think about it so much, Xiao Zheng flew directly to Yuhui Courtyard, this time the speed was much faster than before going down the mountain, and when he ran past the edge of the grass, he faintly overwhelmed the grass.
Yuhuiyuan is located in a corner of Beiyuan, although the name is good, but the place is very shabby, and it is rumored to be haunted, it is one of the places that most people do not want to visit.
At this time, a person came to this overgrown place, and stepped on the fallen leaves at some unknown time to come to a dilapidated house.
"Flower pillar, lotus?" Xiao Zheng shouted tentatively into the room, but the room was quiet, and it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time.
"Is it Xiao Zheng?" After a long time, a tired voice came out, making people feel a little terrifying. Xiao Zheng was sure that it was indeed a flower pillar inside, but he didn't know why the sound became like this.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Zheng hurriedly retreated from the door, and inside was a room that was already covered with dust, except for the table and bed, which seemed to have been cleaned by someone.
"Flower Pillar?" Xiao Zheng looked around and paid attention to the bed in the innermost part of the room, where there was a black thing lying on his stomach that was now rising and falling, as if this thing was breathing.
Xiao Zheng hurriedly ran over to see that it was indeed a flower pillar, but the flower pillar at this moment was different from usual: the black meridians were all over the body, his eyes were blood-red but he looked very tired, his body had become skinny and bone-like, and his sparse hair made his whole face look hideous.
"Xiao Zheng......" Hua Zhu stretched out his trembling hand and said, "Why are you here?", Xiao Zheng just wanted to hold his hand, but Hua Zhu took it back, and had to say: "I didn't go to the academy to study today, I was thinking of going to the South Courtyard to see you and Lotus, who knew that I met Granny Wang...... Wait a minute, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Zhu looked at his hand as if there was no trace of flesh and blood: "It's hard to say a word, ......", Xiao Zheng saw that he was gone, and said more anxiously: "What do you mean, what about the lotus?", "She went to help me collect medicine" Hua Zhu looked up at Xiao Zheng and said: "Look at your steps now, you are calm and powerful, you should have the strength to enter the middle level and break through the upper realm."
Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "Hua Zhu, are you sick?", but Hua Zhu said: "Xiao Zheng, for the sake of our brothers, don't ask again......
"But ......" Xiao Zheng was about to ask again, but Hua Zhu interrupted: "I can only tell you that this Qinghe Dabi is a conspiracy, don't participate, don't ......
"But you'll have to tell me why...... Why not?" Xiao Zheng said eagerly, Hua Zhu looked even more tired, and his whole voice sounded even lower: "The entire Qinghe Temple is a conspiracy...... Xiao Zheng: If you have a chance, leave quickly......"
"Conspiracy...... What do you mean," Xiao Zheng was a little overwhelmed when he looked at him like this, "...... Ask Mrs. Wang" Hua Zhu said vaguely, and the next second he fell asleep in a low voice.
"In the end...... What is it?" Xiao Zheng helped him cover the quilt, then stood up and looked around again: a worn old table with a cup and a teapot on it.
"Cup?" Xiao Zheng walked over and picked it up, the cup was very clean, and the teapot was empty. "Why is this cup so strange?" Xiao Zheng rubbed his eyes and looked at the empty cup, and gradually the cup seemed to be slowly filled with blood!
Xiao Zheng was startled, looked at the cup again and found nothing. "Was it a hallucination just now?" Xiao Zheng just wanted to put down the cup, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have seen such a cup in the South Courtyard......
"The ordinary cup body seems to have contained blood in it, even if it is cleaned, it is still seen by me who doesn't know how to use it" Xiao Zheng subconsciously looked at the bed and silently put down the cup.
......
When the sun set, the lotus flowers didn't come, and Xiao Zheng looked at the flower pillars several times during this period, and found that he hadn't woken up yet, and he was still asleep.
"It seems that today is destined to have no result" Xiao Zheng finally took a deep look at the dry figure on the bed and walked out of the room: "But I will definitely find out about your affairs"
"Did he say looking for Granny Wang just now?" Xiao Zheng walked in the courtyard and pondered: "It stands to reason that Huazhu is living here like this, obviously she doesn't want others to find her, but how could Granny Wang know, and she doesn't want to let herself participate in this Qinghe competition......"
"There are really a lot of suspicions in this" Xiao Zheng left the courtyard, but bumped into a person head-on.
