Chapter 138: The Fall of the Prosperous Age
"Fleur ......" Qingru pushed the door open, and a cheerful voice followed, "Go and have a look...... A lot of lotus seeds have sprouted!"
However, she was greeted by no surprise from Fleur's usual voice, but a deathly silence!
Not in the house? Qingru turned around, but she had already searched all over the village and didn't see Furong, and someone still told her that she hadn't seen the owner of the village out of the yard today, so she just found it!
"Fleur?" Qingru shouted a few more times, but no one answered!
Just as she was about to leave, her foot accidentally lifted the porcelain vase standing next to her, and accidentally opened a wall behind the bookshelf!
There is actually another secret room here, Qingru walked over curiously, and heard some faint sounds from inside the secret room, sounding that Furong was not there and had never been out of the yard, worried about whether Furong had been killed, Qingru didn't choose to go down!
Underneath the chamber is a pool of water...... When Qingru walked down, she saw Fleur standing in front of the pond with her back to her, and she couldn't help but shout, "Fleur!"
When Furong turned around, Qingru also saw something that had been covered by Furong's body before, and in the middle of the pool of water, there was a black lotus slowly blooming!
Although Qingru has never seen the black lotus, but they have been taught that the black lotus is ominous since they were young, if they find it, they will definitely get rid of it quickly, at that moment, Qingru did not realize that the black lotus was cultivated by Furong, and she thought that Furong had discovered the black lotus!
"How could there be such an ominous thing here!" Qingru couldn't help but rush up, but Fleur hadn't recovered from the shock of Qingru suddenly appearing here, but stopped her subconsciously: "Wait a minute!"
Qingru looked at Fleur puzzled, "What are you doing...... Hurry up and destroy this thing, the black lotus is ominous!" Qingru said that she struggled and was about to rush forward, but was pushed away by Fleur and almost yelled, "What's unknown...... Where is unknown......
Qingru looked at such a hibiscus and was stunned in place, she had never seen such a hibiscus, she had always been calm and steady before, and she had always done things neatly, and she had some prestige in the clan, smart and capable, otherwise Jinhua would not have handed over the lotus village to her back then!
"Black Lotus is unknown, we always knew it!" Isn't that something they've been serious about since the beginning?
"You know what?" Fleur asked Qingru rhetorically, and her firm eyes made Qingru suspicious, even if it was something that was determined from the beginning, now a person who is also close to you tells you that everything you knew before is false!
"We were told since we were children that the Black Lotus is unknown, and once discovered, we must deal with it as soon as possible, but it is as clear as ...... Have you ever seen the Black Lotus, how unknown? I haven't seen ...... I've seen how amazing this thing is!" Fleur saw that she had calmed down, so she patiently explained to her, "What did you just come in and want to tell me, is there any good news!"
Qingru was stunned for a moment, as if she had just calmed down from Furong's words, she didn't understand how she had just turned here from the question of Black Lotus's details, as if nothing had happened just now, but the moment when she suddenly ran in and had good news to tell Furong!
So she subconsciously repeated what she had just said: "A lot of lotus seeds have sprouted!"
Fleur curled the corners of her mouth slightly: "Do you know why?"
Qingru looked at her in wonder, as if she didn't understand the meaning of her words: "All of this is from this black lotus, from the day I successfully cultivated it, all this good news has happened, so...... It's not ominous, it's good news, it's done what I want!"
What? This black lotus was actually cultivated by her, Qingru looked at the black lotus behind her, at this moment her cognition was really subverted, the black lotus that had always been considered ominous by the clan actually let the owner take the initiative to cultivate it, not to mention, it was ...... What good news to bring!
"Why are you doing this?" Qingru was puzzled, why did he suddenly remember to cultivate the black lotus?
"Didn't you notice that there was a problem with our Lotus Village recently?"
"Questions? What's the problem? You are
Is it the trend of our new compatriots dwindling day by day?" She also realized the problem: "But it's also related to the season...... It's not like we've been in this situation before, and it won't be long before it gets better!"
"You don't understand!" Fleur shook her head: "It's past the season, but the seeds have not germinated, even if there are occasional lotus flowers, the purification ability is not as good as before, all the links are going wrong, but I can't find the problem, the lotus village was handed over to me, but I am watching it decay?"
Qingru shook her head, "No...... Fleur: It's only temporary!"
"You don't know anything!" Fleur smiled bitterly: "Every lotus seed will record every growth process in detail from the moment it is planted, I have already found the problem from the record, the probability of budding, the speed of growth, and the probability of turning into a human form after that have been reduced, even if there is a chance of turning into a human form, the ability to purify is greatly reduced, if it continues like this, our race will inevitably go extinct!"
Fleur suddenly recovered from her grief: "So I got this solution...... Qingru, take a look......" Fleur pulled Qingru to the pond and asked her to look at the black lotus: "Look...... This is the black lotus that you don't know, you can see it from the moment I successfully cultivated it, all the seeds have germinated, and there is no mortality rate, do you still think it is ominous?"
At that moment, even Qingru had to admit that the Black Lotus, which had always been considered ominous, had indeed brought them a glimmer of life!
Later, Qingru promised Furong to keep everything secret and wait for the big development afterwards, she was also thinking, if this so-called ominous black lotus can really bring luck to Lotus Village, why not?
But soon things went beyond expectations!
Fleur began to become more and more wrong, first of all, her whole personality changed drastically, and she became as clear as if she no longer knew her!
Afterward...... The batch of budding lotus flowers that bloomed after they grew up were all black lotuses!
And all the black lotus in full bloom could not turn into human form, and at the same time, brothers and sisters from all sides died repeatedly in order to repair and purify...... All of a sudden, Lotus Village ushered in an unprecedented order, the existing lotus flowers died one by one, and the personnel were injured one by one, but all this Furong didn't care!
The ominousness brought by the black lotus, at that moment, Qingru really saw it clearly!
She was going to destroy that thing, and at that time, Qingru thought again, as long as she destroyed the black lotus, everything would still have a chance to be saved, so she ran to the basement and wanted to destroy the black lotus, but was stopped by Furong!
"I'm not going to let you touch it!"
Qingru pointed to the black lotus and asked Furong: "Look at what kind of good things you have cultivated, I have already said that the black lotus is unknown, you just don't believe it, now look at our race, don't you believe it?" Fleur, I know you were trying to figure out a way for our people at first, but now it's time for you to wake up...... It's not a good thing, and it should be ruined for the sake of our last species!"
"You don't understand that!" Fleur looked at Qingru, looking like she felt that she was right, and even quibbled with Qingru: "How many people have our race been needed, because of our sacrifice and purification, people in this region have always lived carefree, but once our purification ability is weakened, they will begin to question and reprimand our incompetence, for so many years, all our efforts seem to have been in vain, in my hands, our Hanlian clan cannot become an existence that is spurned by others, you know? But you look at the present...... If you go outside and listen to it, the value of the charm is far more important than the previous value...... No one dares to say that we are useless and dare to spurn us...... How can you slander it!"
Qingru looked at the hibiscus in front of her, she knew that the hibiscus was crazy at the moment, look at what she was talking about, there were so many sisters in the clan who were killed and injured, and there were fewer and fewer people who could purify the power, and there were more and more black lotuses, but she said that the black lotus made them become something that people cherished and realized their value, but she forgot that our original intention was to purify the evil and make the world more pure and clean is what their clan expects the most
What it looks like!
But because of these black lotuses, this world has added more sinister, if she wants to stop all this, then start with the present!
Qingru smiled slowly at Fleur, "I think you're right!"
Seeing Qingru say this, Furong also slowly relaxed!
"Come to the clear as ...... Let's build on our people together!" Fleur stretched out her arms, and Qingru slowly walked into her and took her into her arms!
Hibiscus...... I'm sorry...... I can't let this go on any longer, I have to stop this, Qingru opened her eyes, quickly raised her hand, knocked Fleur unconscious, and then destroyed the first black lotus cultivated by Fleur, and then brought Fleur back, Qingru had no way to kill Fleur, so she had to tie her up first, and then solve the current problem!
But at this moment, everything has already reached the time when Qingru can't solve it!
In the market, it is difficult to find a thousand gold, and many people want to compete for the black lotus to sell at a good price, and make a fortune from then on.
The few remaining flowers were robbed of a non-flourishing, and the once glorious Lotus Village has also become the appearance of the current order, and it has fallen into the hands of female businessmen to make a private house, does anyone remember the Hanlian family who brought them peace and prosperity back then?
