"Eerie, never daylight; It's cold, it's cold. ”

This is a sentence that Gu Xu read in an ancient book.

This phrase describes the mythical and legendary "Ice Hell" - it is located in the second Yama Temple, which is used to imprison those who hurt people's limbs in the sun, those who commit adultery and murder, those who bully others, those who forget their righteousness for profit, those who seek revenge, those who are cold-blooded and cruel, and so on.

It is said that when the prison beings are frozen, their bodies will be blistered, and then the blisters will burst, pus and blood will gush, and then their bodies will deform and freeze into several petals, like a blooming lotus flower.

Therefore, this hell is also known as "blistering hell" and "Qinglian hell".

Although "Ice Hell" is not necessarily real.

But at this moment, when Gu Xu stood in the Lu family's old mansion, felt the biting chill in the air, and saw the frozen and deformed corpses on the ground, he couldn't help but think of it.

"It's cold." He chattered his teeth and whispered.

In addition, there are snowflakes falling slowly in the dim sky, as white and light as swan feathers.

It's just that when the snowflakes fall on the ground, they suddenly turn into scarlet blood and then disappear.

At this time, I only heard Chu Fengge beside me sneeze and said, "Press ...... According to my experience the last time I was here, when the couplet 'No Gate to Hell' appeared, a short time later, a little girl who didn't know if she was a human or a ghost would appear in the hall in front of me.

"She would drop an inexplicable note in front of us and quickly run away.

"I tried to catch up with her. But I walked through dozens of rooms, but I couldn't find her.

"A quarter of an hour later, something terrible happened.

"Several large, ghostly monsters came up to me, trying to chain me and tie me to icicles—their faces were obscured by the fog and I couldn't see clearly.

"At that time, the true element in my body seemed to be sealed by cold ice, and I couldn't use it at all. If I hadn't brought the 'Broken Void Bead'......"

Chu Fengge didn't continue.

Because it's so humiliating to continue.

The dignified five-grade officials didn't even see the appearance of the ghosts clearly, and they were beaten to the point that their noses were blue and their faces were swollen.

If this kind of thing is known to others, how will he raise his head and behave in the future?

Gu Xu listened to his words silently and fell into deep thought.

In fact, ever since hearing Chu Fengge's sentence "In that weird murderous mansion, wisdom is much more important than force", Gu Xu had already regarded this murderous mansion as a copy of a puzzle-solving game - if it weren't for this, it would be absolutely impossible for the head of the division who had the ability to perceive the heavenly machine to solve this case.

In his opinion, the most critical information in Chu Fengge's words should be the mysterious little girl and the inexplicable note.

These are likely to be important clues to the secrecy of the murderous house.

And Chu Fengge, as a vulgar and reckless man, is obviously full of only thinking about "killing ghosts, killing ghosts, killing ghosts, killing ghosts".

If you take the game as an analogy - the little girl is most likely a plot NPC, but she was beaten by Chu Fengge as a monster, chased and killed all the way, and finally "Game Over".

Just as Gu Xu was contemplating and thinking, a thin figure really appeared in the hall in front of him.

It was a little girl who was six or seven years old.

Dressed in a plain shirt, his complexion is pale.

Unkempt black hair obscured most of her face, making it impossible to see her face.

She stepped barefoot on the ground where the ice and snow were piled up, and walked towards Gu Xu and Chu Fengge with brisk steps, as if she couldn't feel the cold at all.

"That's her!" Chu Fengge stretched out his hand and pointed at the little girl and shouted.

As in Chu Fengge's description, after the little girl casually threw down a note in front of them, she turned around and left, quickly disappearing from their field of vision like a ghost, and she was never to be found again.

Gu Xu bent down and picked up the piece of paper from the ground, and found that it turned out to be a delicately crafted flower note.

On its front, a few blooming flowers are drawn, and next to it are a few graceful and elegant hairpin flower letters-

"Invitation to the Hundred Flowers Poetry Society".

And on the back of it, a small poem of seven words is written, which reads as follows:

"The rain falls on the grave at night in the south window, and the courtyard is deep in grass and trees.

"The old people in the shadow are all vain, and the danqing on the wall tells about this life."

"This official hates this kind of sour rotten literati who don't speak human words the most in his life!" Chu Fengge glanced at the flower note, and said coldly, "It's obviously an invitation letter, but it doesn't write the time or address, how do we get there?" ”

Gu Xu didn't answer immediately.

At this time, he remembered that it was mentioned in the information that the historical Qingzhou Lu family did indeed run a "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society", and the president was Mrs. Lu, the mother of the Lu family.

The participants at that time were not only the wife of the Lu family, but also guests from other families.

However, this "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society" was only held once, and the Lu family in Qingzhou was beheaded by all the people.

But at this moment, Gu Xu and Chu Fengge received an invitation from the "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society...... Obviously, it was not a living person who was holding this event.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to write such a bleak poem on the invitation.

"To tell you the truth, I don't like Riddler either," Gu Xu smiled and responded, "But according to the style of the Lu family, maybe they think that people who can't understand the meaning of this poem are not worthy of participating in their poetry club." ”

Gu Xu boldly guessed that this "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society" should be a glimmer of life left by the Lu family's murderous mansion to foreign intruders.

If he can successfully brush the favorability of the Lu family's souls on the "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society", he may be able to get some clues about the "frost erosion" curse and the "Shocking Pen".

However, if you can't reach the location where the poetry club is held within a quarter of an hour, you will be attacked by ghosts, as Chu Fengge said.

"So can you understand?" Chu Fengge squinted at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu smiled faintly and replied, "Lord Chu, the mystery is actually very simple. When you first entered the gate, you should have noticed a mural on the shadow wall, right? ”

Chu Fengge hesitated for a second and nodded.

"Do you remember what the mural says?"

Chu Fengge thought about it and shook his head.

He's always been a rough guy and rarely pays attention to these details.

"It's a picture of dignitaries drinking and having fun in the garden," Gu Xu continued, "According to the poem's 'Danqing on the wall', the mural should be painted 'Hundred Flowers Poetry Society'." ”

"This seems a bit far-fetched...... Chu Fengge frowned, "According to you, the location of this poetry society may also be in the south window, or next to the grave......"

"No, it's not far-fetched at all," Gu Xu said, "You may not have noticed that the poem on the flower note is actually a Tibetan poem—the address of the poetry club has already been clearly written in front of us." ”
