Chapter 75: Smoke and Smoke
The brief moment of clarity gave Forgotten Dust a chance, and she threw her fingertips hard against the corner of the cabinet, trying to pull herself out of this strange power.
Just as he was about to smash into the corner of the cabinet, his shoulders sank, and he trembled with fright, and turned his head to see Xuanzhi standing behind him. With the usual shallow smile on his face, he asked her, "Are you okay?" ”
Forget the dust for a moment I was really aggrieved and wanted to cry, my heart felt like I had knocked over the five-flavor bottle, and all kinds of emotions came up in one go. He almost collapsed, and the devil knows how excited he was to see him now. She rushed over and hugged Xuanzhi's thigh, pointed to the cabinet underneath and babbled.
Later, Wangchen simply pulled Xuanzhi to look at the eye in the cave, but when Xuanzhi leaned down, the eye was gone. Forget the dust is anxious and angry, desperately explaining that she really saw it, and saying that she saw a strange rag doll.
The whispering in the ears still did not dissipate, but was louder than before, and the whole ear was "Knowing the hearts of the people, the smoke and the haze." ”
Xuanzhi stood there, as if he couldn't hear those voices, just quietly listened to her incoherently talk about these strange things, and casually reached for the things on the bookshelf to look at them as she listened.
"Leave that alone, shall we get out of here?"
Looking at him with a blank eye, Xuanzhi did not answer her, but stretched out a hand towards her. Chang Jue often stretched out his hand to her like this, and without thinking about it, he habitually put his hand in his palm and asked him to pull himself up.
How did he get in?
The moment he pulled her, she suddenly had this question, but this question was only fleeting, and she was soon annoyed by the whispering in her ear.
When she stood up, she felt that her palms were sticky, and she was about to look down at her palms, when Xuanzhi put the scroll he had just looked at in front of her and said, "Look at this." ”
Forget Chen took the scroll and opened it slowly, the light was dim, blurry, and he couldn't see anything clearly. She had no choice but to turn the painting sideways to the side with doors and windows, and although the doors and windows were closed, a little glimmer of light could still be seen through the gaps.
Through the faint light, she saw that the picture was a woman's danqing, blowing at the window, and all the dust that was raised floated up.
Now I can see the woman's face clearly, a delicate goose egg face, a very soft smile, and a faint flush on her cheeks. The delicate golden flowers on the sideburns and the large yellow thorn roses next to them blend together, just from the painting, you can also see the splendid prosperity that belongs to a woman.
A sense of familiarity inexplicably rose in Forget Chen's heart, this kind of confidence in his bones, and this delicate goose egg face...... I always feel like I've seen it somewhere. It wasn't until she saw the egret in the lower left corner of the picture that she immediately remembered.
The woman on the painting is like Bai Youxian, especially the splendid charm revealed in the expression, which is very similar to the appearance of Youxian when he mentions the mountain protector god.
Look at the small words on the side of the inscription - know the hearts of the people, and the smoke is not much.
It was the small voice in his ears that read those words, and he had only listened to them with his ears before, and he had never known which words they were. Looking at it now, she felt that this little poem was also inexplicably familiar. If you look carefully at the signature below, it is actually Danqing painted by Tianjun.
She glanced at the poem on it a few more times, and muttered to herself, Zhiyiren...... Yanxia He Mu, Mu ......
Reading and reading, she unconsciously exclaimed: "Zhimu!"
The painting on this is Zhimu, I am afraid that before the accident, Tianjun painted Danqing for her, and made a famous Tibetan poem.
"Mu Xue Palace, I remember that this place seems to be called Mu Xue Palace. She suddenly thought of something, looked up at Xuanzhi, and said, "Could this be the courtyard where Concubine Zhimu lived before her death?"
"Zhimu?" Xuan Zhi was looking at another thing on the bookshelf, and when he heard her question, he didn't react, just repeated.
"Yes, Zhimu Tianfei. I also heard gossip that the time of Mu Tianfei's death was the year you were born. I heard that Zhimu Tianfei and the Queen of Heaven were pregnant at the same time, but unfortunately the natural disaster was prevented, and on the second day of the Tianjun and the Queen of Heaven's visit to the Demon World, Zhimu Tianfei had an unexpected miscarriage. It is said that the child was born a month away, and Zhimu was grief-stricken because of this, and there was also a rift between him and the Heavenly Monarch, and he also injured the Heavenly Monarch in public, causing the Heavenly Monarch to be angry and beat him into the forbidden land. As a result, no one expected that before he reached the forbidden place, Zhimu committed suicide on the way. ”
Saying that, Wuchen stared at the danqing, sighed, and said in a low voice: "I originally thought that Tianjun didn't like her very much, otherwise how could she be like this to a woman who has lost a child." But you say, if you don't like it, how can you make this danqing? The strokes on it, the intentions of the famous Tibetan poems, and the smudging of the yellow thorn rose...... You can see the joy of the pen. Perhaps when painting this Danqing, it was also a splendid prosperity that belonged to the Heavenly Monarch. It's just a blink of an eye, after all, the one who starts well is really complicated, and the one who ends is widowed. The yellow thorn rose will be crippled after it blooms, let alone a person's favorite. ”
Inexplicably, Forget Chen suddenly remembered what Chang Jue said to himself in the mortal world, nothing is immutable.
Xuan Zhi stood aside and lowered his eyelids: "Immortals are different from mortals, and there are only a handful of miscarriages for hundreds of thousands of years, which is extremely rare. ”
"So many people speculate that it was not when the Heavenly Monarch and the Queen of Heaven visited the Netherworld Mountain, they were put under the Gu. ”
Forget that Chen said carefully, for fear of reminding Xuanzhi of something. After all, the rumors of the Gu also include Xuanzhi, who was born with demonic energy.
Xuan Zhi really frowned after hearing this.
Forget Chen hurriedly said: "It's just a rumor, how can there be such a Gu." It was the Heavenly Monarch and the Queen of Heaven who went to the Demon Realm, and Zhimu Tianfei did not follow to the Demon Realm, even if there was a Gu in the Demon Realm, she should not go down to Zhimu Tianfei. ”
"Unless from the beginning, this Gu is given to Zhimu. Xuan Zhi looked at Forget Chen and suddenly smiled.
Forget Chen didn't understand the meaning of his words, but he still couldn't help but shudder and asked, "What do you do for Zhimu?"
After asking, it seemed like there was a thread in her mind that connected everything, and the fog in front of her suddenly dispersed a little.
The similar birth period, that Danqing, the time before and after the visit to the Demon Realm and Zhimu's miscarriage, as well as the order of Zhimu's suicide and Xuanzhi's alienation. If from the very beginning, it was for Zhimu, then these strange things seem to be logical.
Xuanzhi looked at her stunned and misty look, and asked her, "But what did you think?"
"The victim may also be the perpetrator......" Wangchen said to himself, looking up at Xuanzhi stubbornly:
"Is there a possibility, it is not the people of the Demon Clan who want to harm the people of the Celestial Clan at all, the people of the Celestial Clan have been wrong from the beginning of this matter, maybe the motive is just out of jealousy between women, and thus the malice is born. If you think about it from this point of view, it makes sense-
After the queen of heaven came back from the Netherworld, she took the demonic energy of the Netherworld Mountain and gave it to Zhimu to give Gu, so that Zhimu had a miscarriage. And the queen of heaven, as a person who is a Gu person, was counterattacked by demonic energy, and unexpectedly made you born with a demon element. ”
After speaking, Wuchen felt a little uneasy in her heart, no matter what, the queen of heaven is Xuanzhi's mother, she speculated about his queen mother like this, and said it so rudely, Xuanzhi didn't know if he would be angry.
After looking at him for a while, Xuan Zhi didn't seem to react too strongly to her words. Unexpectedly, he nodded. He seems to be more concerned about the matter of Gu than the problem of the queen mother.
"Perhaps. If you say so, the rag doll you come across is likely to be a Gu seed. Ordinary Gu seeds will disappear after the death of the host, and this Gu seed is not dead, probably because something is missing. ”
Speaking of missing, Forget Chen almost immediately thought of the empty face of the rag doll: "Eyes!
Xuan Zhi pondered for a moment and kicked the bottom cabinet with his toes: "Maybe what you see in the bottom cabinet is its eyes." I'm afraid this bottom chest has been sealed, and its eyes can't come out. It pesters you, probably trying to get you to open the base cabinet and help it let its eyes out. ”
"Let me help Gu Seed?" Forget Chen nervously pressed the painting scroll in his hand and rolled it back carefully.
"You touched the blood of the Gu seed, you are the chosen one, if you don't help it open the cabinet door, you won't be able to get out of Mu Xue Palace. Hurry up and open the cabinet door, and I'll take a look inside, and there's nothing bad in there. ”
Xuan Zhi said, walking towards the back room, and soon the whole figure was covered by the bookshelf and became blurred.
Forget Chen swallowed his saliva and stared at the bottom cabinet for a long time, thinking about whether to open it quickly. Listening to Xuanzhi's meaning, he opened the cabinet door, and the Gu seed would not be pestering him, so that he could take her and leave here.
With her heart down, she squinted her eyes and stretched out her hand to open the cabinet door. As soon as his hand touched the door of the cabinet, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Forget the dust!"
She was stunned for a moment, thinking to herself that Xuanzhi hadn't already bypassed the bookshelf and moved forward, why did he run behind her and call her again. The movement was too fast, and when I turned my head to look, there was nothing behind me.
Strangely, she suddenly noticed that the dim room seemed to be much brighter. Looking up at the window, he saw that the window had opened a gap from the outside, and Xuan Zhi was standing behind the window at the moment, staring at her through the gap.
The gap was not large, and it could only accommodate half of Xuanzhi's face and one eye. Looking at the past from the perspective of Forget Chen, it was extremely weird, even if Forget Chen knew that it was Xuanzhi, he couldn't help but tremble in fright, and stammered and asked, "You ...... Didn't you go to the back room, how did you get out?"
"What inner room?" Xuan Zhi looked at her worriedly: "There is an enchantment outside here, and I can't get in." ”
"Can't get in?" ......said Wangchen, chuckling in his heart, and his eyes slowly turned to the back of the bookshelf to look into the inner room. There was a blur there, as if there were people and as if there were no people.
Now Forget Chen became even more nervous: "Are you sure you haven't come in? I just took your hand and got up." Don't scare me at this time. ”
Xuan Zhi was silent behind the window for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Forget the dust, from the first time you saw me to the present...... When have I ever held your hand?"
