Madame Flower (2)
It turned out that the night when Shu Zhenzhen took the Xue Dan Pill, not only did he eliminate all the toxicity, but also found that his skills had increased greatly. So he went directly to the "Hanjing Garden" without delay, preparing to hire some people to clean up the Hanjing Garden. Unexpectedly, he fell into a trap set by the Love Demon that evening. At this time, Shu Zhenzhen realized that there was such a secret basement in his home.
The Love Demon proudly told Shu Zhenzhen that more than 20 years ago, she got half a secret picture of the basement of Hanjing Garden from Shu Zhenzhen's father, while the other two were in the hands of others. The three maps combined can unravel the legendary "Donghuang Bell".
The Love Demon met Shu Zhenzhen's father on the Sichuan-Shaanxi border. Shu Zhenzhen's father was obsessed with her at first sight. When his soul was eroded, the Love Demon insisted on leaving. In order to win back the beauty's heart, Shu Zhenzhen's father gave her half a map, saying that there was a secret about the "Donghuang Zhong" hidden inside. The Love Demon asked him to ask for another two copies, but Shu's father said that one was in his wife's hands, and he had never seen the other one, and he didn't know who the other one was in his hands.
At that time, the love demon thought he was bragging and didn't care. Soon he got tired of this man and drove him away without mercy. Half a year later, there was a rumor about "Donghuang Zhong" in the world. Some people said that it was a huge treasure, while others said that it was a gate of heaven, the first of the ten ancient artifacts, and had the power to destroy the world. Soon, all the people who came from hearing the news hid in Hanjing Garden during the day and came out at night. Hanjing Garden was hit by a catastrophe. All the family members died of life except Shu Zhenzhen.
With the destruction of Hanjingyuan, all the troops who had gained nothing gradually withdrew, and the rumors of "Donghuang Zhong" gradually faded. The Love Demon had already realized a little clue. She remained silent and was ready to wait for the martial arts conference that year to end before going to secretly explore. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived in Henan Province, she was caught off guard by the killer sent by Fang Gege and almost paralyzed. Since then, she disappeared for twenty years. After that, she came to Shu immediately after being full of wings, hoping to discover a treasure to expand her power.
After the last gambling meeting in Hanjingyuan, although Jiang Zhilin sent by the Love Demon failed, the "Red Gun Club" that occupied Hanjingyuan for a long time was driven away by Shu Zhenzhen. The Love Demon eliminated all obstacles without any effort and immediately brought people into Hanjingyuan. Finally, she found this basement with half of the map in her hand and some clues she had learned.
However, in this basement, except for these two stone houses, some stone chairs, stone tables and some strange things, there was nothing else. Even the Shu embroidered cushions laid on the stone chairs were brought by the Love Demon himself.
These two stone houses were polished with very smooth marble, and the walls between the stone houses were a huge natural rock. After repeated detection, the love demon found that this rock was an underground corner of a natural hillside in Hanjing Garden. There was no channel in front, back, left and right.
The stone house is carved with some very simple patterns, and the handmade work is very rough, even far from the basement of some wealthy houses. On the natural stone wall, there are only some natural light stone patterns. These stone patterns look carefully, they can be many patterns or nothing. Like the clouds in the sky, they can sometimes be seen as various animals, even palaces and hills, but after careful study, they are nothing.
The Shu family and his wife have long been divided into dust. The only hope of the Love Demon is to get another map from Shu Zhenzhen, the only heir of Hanjing Garden. As soon as Shu Zhenzhen returned to Hanjing Garden, she fell into a trap she carefully arranged.
In order to obtain the secret map, the Love Demon was very polite to Shu Zhenzhen who was imprisoned and served him with delicious food and drink. However, no matter how attentive she was, it was useless - because Shu Zhenzhen herself had never heard of such a secret, and even when her mother died in her arms, she did not talk about anything about the map.
Jun Yu sighed secretly: I believe Shu Zhenzhen's mother loves her daughter very much. She is afraid that Shu Zhenzhen will cause more harm to her with that map, so she didn't reveal a word until her death. Perhaps it is because she doesn't know any secrets without this map that Shu Zhenzhen can live safely until now.
Shu Zhenzhen felt sad and choked and couldn't speak: "Too many people have died in this Hanjing Garden... If... if... if you can get better, I would rather give this Hanjing Garden to someone else right away."
Jun Yu smiled, and the candle's light dimmed, and it had burned to the end of the core. Shu Zhenzhen got up and replaced it with a huge candle. The stone chamber immediately became brighter again.
Jun Yu felt her eyelids getting heavier and a wave of fatigue came. She slowly closed her eyes, not paying attention to the sadness and despair in Shu Zhenzhen's eyes. When she opened her eyes again, she found that the stone chamber was empty, and the huge bull candle was about to burn to the end again.
Jun Yu looked around, without Shu Zhenzhen's figure. After a while, the last bit of the candle's core was completely burned out, and the entire stone chamber turned into a dark and dead world.
I don’t know how long it took, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the stone chamber. Soon, a man groped and lit up the ox candle. Under the light, the man was Shu Zhenzhen, full of dew, with some soil on his shoes, and his expression was hurried, and he was holding a messy and huge bag in his hand.
Shu Zhenzhen didn't say anything, swept all the pills in the horns into the bag, and then picked up several strange medicine bottles and some small candles in the corner on the left. Then, she opened the box of Love Demon, grabbed two pieces of clothes and stuffed them into the bag, carried the bag on her back, bent down and picked up Jun Yu, and carried the candle with one hand.
Shu Zhenzhen is already petite, and now she is holding someone and carrying a candle, so her gestures are very strange and difficult.
Seeing her strange expression, Jun Yu wanted to ask her, but her cracked lips couldn't speak for a long time. Shu Zhenzhen hurried to the stone house outside, placed Jun Yu next to the wall, stood in front of the natural stone wall, and carefully looked at the stone patterns on the wall. Jun Yu looked along her gaze. The stone patterns looked like they had changed into a person's appearance. Shu Zhenzhen put down the candle, stretched out her right hand, and spread her five fingers to the palm of the figure. After repeated seven times, the stone patterns remained motionless.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a burst of fierce fighting, footsteps, and screams from the sidewalk leading to this basement...
Shu Zhenzhen was already sweating profusely. She tried again, but the stone wall was still motionless.
The sound outside suddenly became less and Shu Zhenzhen felt tighter. She felt that someone had entered the secret passage, but she could not hear the footsteps. She must have killed the group of people outside and broke in alone.
After running around, the wound on Jun Yu's vest was cracked and bleeding came out. Shu Zhenzhen picked her up, her hands covered with blood. She smiled bitterly: "Jun Yu, I don't know how many people came outside, and I was fighting with the monks of the Western Regions who had been spying around Hanjing Garden. They were about to attack this secret room soon. Unexpectedly, we would be buried in Hanjing Garden like this."
She was inexplicably angry and stretched out her blood-stained right hand, slapped heavily on the stone pattern that looked like the palm of her hand. When she raised her hand, she suddenly saw the blood seeping into the stone and disappearing without a trace. Both of them were in front of them, and they saw that the huge natural rock had cracked a small door.
Shu Zhenzhen flashed into the stone gate without thinking. Looking back, Shu Zhenzhen saw a figure swaying to the stone gate. Before she could even see the man's face clearly, the stone gate immediately closed silently.
The world returned to a dark silence. Shu Zhenzhen took out a small candle from her bag and lit it. Immediately, the swaying candlelight shone the world outside the stone wall in a flash.
Entering the door is a very narrow mountain road. After walking more than two feet away, it is a small stone pavilion with nothing inside. When you pass through the stone pavilion, you can't see clearly how far it will lead to in the candlelight.
After walking dozens of steps forward, there was a huge stone pillar on the left, and a stone house on the right. Shu Zhenzhen reached out and pushed the door. The door was made of an unknown light-colored wood, emitting a faint fragrance. The door was very light, and Shu Zhenzhen pushed it open in an instant.
The house is not big, it is empty, and there is still only one stone chair and one stone table.
Shu Zhenzhen gently placed Jun Yu on the stone chair, exhaled a long breath, and said, "I wonder if they can attack."
Of course, Jun Yu knew that the "they" in Shu Zhenzhen's words were groups of people who were coveting Hanjing Garden openly or secretly. In just one night, they encountered three groups of people such as Pang Ban, Danba, and Love Demon. After several battles, Jiang Zhilin's escape and Love Demon's departure, the underground secret room of Hanjing Garden must have been no longer a secret.
However, if you don’t know how to open the thick stone wall, you will never be able to enter.
But how could Shu Zhenzhen know how to open this stone wall?
Shu Zhenzhen spread out the pile of bags and poured out a lot of dry food, fruits, a large pot of clear water, candles, clothes and other miscellaneous items obtained from the Love Demon.
Finally, the bottom of the bag was an embroidered sole. At first glance, this sole is no different from an ordinary sole.
Shu Zhenzhen said: "This is found from my mother's grave."
Jun Yu said in a lost voice: "Sister Shu, you, have you actually opened your mother's grave?"
Shu Zhenzhen nodded.
Shu Zhenzhen's mother has been dead for more than twenty years, and the sole of the shoe is still intact. Jun Yu took a look again and found that it turned out to be a crimson jade-like thing in the shape of the sole. There is a small hole at the top of the thing, which I think is the place to place things.
Shu Zhenzhen said sadly: "When my mother and I escaped, my mother wore these shoes. Later, my mother died at the hands of Master Zhu. Sister Lan saved me and buried my mother in a very hidden place in the suburbs. I never believed that there was any secret in my home. Until I was caught in this secret room by the love demon, I believed that the rumors about Dong Huangzhong were definitely not completely groundless... My mother was considering my safety and must not tell me the secret... and,
When I went out this time, I looked carefully at the tree at the exit. The tree has grown there since I was born and has not changed for many years. It is a tree species that originally grew in an extremely cold place. It has a very slow growth period and is now just as thick as a wrist. There are many such trees in this garden, but the love demon judged it so accurately. She must have a lot of information on her hands. I went to the secret room to check her pile of objects, but I found nothing related to the secret room..."
Jun Yu remembered the joyful expression of Master Danba when he took out the bag of things from the corpse of the love demon, and maybe the map or something else was inside.
"The love demon said that my mother still has half a map on her body, so I had to alarm my mother's dead. See if there are any clues. After opening the grave, my mother, my mother... Of course, there are only a pile of bones left... but the pair of shoes my mother wore before she died, the other one had already rotted, but this one was like this..."
She took out a very small and thin piece of paper. The color of the paper was very old, and she was drawing a map of the stone pattern of the stone wall. After the stone patterns were presented, a very subtle human shape was formed in the middle. On the picture, a palm was pressing on the right palm of the human figure, which was exactly the posture of Shu Zhenzhen opening the door just now. There was a dark red dot in the heart of the man's palm. After such an era, there was a faint smell of blood.
Shu Zhenzhen sighed and said, "I took this out of that thing. I have never known what this little red dot means. It turns out that blood is needed to open this stone gate."
Jun Yu suddenly said, "Sister Shu, look, can this door be opened?"
Shu Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment and came to the door. Sure enough, the stone wall was closed and there was no possibility of opening it. There was only a way to enter the map. This door was centered. I guess the third map would have a way to go out.
Shu Zhenzhen lit another small candle. This small candle was made of hidden pine oil by the disciples of the Love Demon. Although it was small, the light was very strong, and it was more lasting and burning than the huge cow candle. Therefore, Shu Zhenzhen brought all the remaining ones to her body despite the fact that she had just happened.
Shu Zhenzhen picked up the candle and walked slowly towards the direction of the corridor. After walking for a long time, she turned back. At the end of the corridor was a rock with no way out.
Jun Yu looked at the long and deep corridor, and then looked at the thick stone wall. There were countless endless demons and monsters hidden in the dead darkness.
The map of Love Demon only opened the first floor secret room. Just now, Shu Zhenzhen used the map of his mother to open this thick stone wall. It is estimated that the stone wall that was out needs another map to open. Now, where can I find the third map?
And the secret room that killed countless lives was completely empty except for some stone chairs.
Jun Yu closed her eyes and suddenly hoped that she would have died before crossing the stone gate. In that way, with Shu Zhenzhen's martial arts and her familiarity with the terrain of Hanjing Garden, she could bypass the various people outside and leave safely.
Now, the two are trapped in this dark underground stone house. They are in their lives and are not willing to cherish it. However, when the candles are burned out and the food and water are cut off, how will Shu Zhenzhen die terriblely?
Shu Zhenzhen poured a little water and handed it to Jun Yu's lips. Jun Yu shook her head and didn't drink it. Since she was paralyzed by the love demon's medicine, she has been lying quietly like this without feeling hungry, and even the wounds on her body cannot feel pain.
For the first time, Shu Zhenzhen saw such complete despair and sadness on Jun Yu's face. There was no longer any desire and struggle for "life" in his dull eyes. Since she met Jun Yu, she has always stubbornly believed that this girl would always move forward, be full of vitality, always be full of smiles and confidence. Even at such a moment, she would never want to associate such a girl with the coming death.
She was shocked, and a burst of blood seemed to be about to rush out of her forehead. She shouted: "Everyone said that Donghuang Zhong has the power to destroy the world. I want to find it out to see if it has the effect of resurrection."
Jun Yu looked at the empty stone house and Donghuang Zhong, maybe it was just a terrible joke. And Shu Zhenzhen might be another victim of this joke. For this vain and ethereal "rejuvenation effect", she even opened the grave of her deceased mother. The only difference is that the other victims were because of greed, while Shu Zhenzhen, but she was completely trying to save someone else's life.
She closed her eyes, her chest felt stuffy, and endless darkness came, and the god of death seemed to be smiling above her head and staring at the two women trapped in the stone house.
Shu Zhenzhen, who was extremely tired, had been sleeping in the dark for a long time. She got up and groped to light the candle. Jun Yu was completely in a coma, and her lips, which had been cracked so hard that they had blood blisters, were slightly open. Shu Zhenzhen dipped in water and slowly dripped into her mouth. When she touched the slight heat at the end of her nose, Shu Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Junyu's left sideburn was once cut by Master Danba's Jinba. Shu Zhenzhen applied a purple-red potion taken from the Love Demon again. She has been applying this potion these days. Apart from a little red mark, the wound has almost completely healed.
Although this skin trauma has been cured, no matter what medicine she used, no matter how much medicine she used, Shu Zhenzhen sighed a few times, picked up the small candle, and walked carefully towards the deep corridor.
This time, Shu Zhenzhen looked more carefully. There were many portraits carved on the stone walls at both ends of the corridor, including various figures, animals, even flowers, birds, mountains and rivers. On a huge stone carving, the picture was a world of ice and snow. A monk in a single dress sat cross-legged on the snow with a peaceful expression, and seemed to be practicing something in an extremely strange posture.
She looked forward as she walked to the middle, her eyes attracted by a green silk on the wall on the left. She pulled away the green silk, and there was a real screen below.
On the screen, a woman in palace clothes stood under a lotus tree that was blooming in full bloom. She was as beautiful as a flower, with a charming smile and beautiful eyes. The woman was as beautiful as the love demon. Although she was as beautiful as the love demon, Shu Zhenzhen was used to Jun Yu's appearance and felt that this woman was nothing amazing. There was a lyrics on the screen. Shu Zhenzhen could not read it carefully for a while, and she still walked forward.
This corridor is about three miles away, and there are not many murals on the walls, and there may be a large blank space in the middle. By the stone wall that walks to the end, there is nothing else except the murals full of walls.
The stone wall at this end is slightly different from the one they just came in. It was a huge piece of marble. The marble was polished very neatly and a street was carved on it. It was very lively and the streets were full of blooming lotus. Shu Zhenzhen grew up in Shu. She had been accustomed to seeing such hibiscus red flowers that stretched ten miles since she was a child. She could not tell why. After a while, she turned around and walked back. When she walked halfway, she saw the screen again and took the screen back to the stone chamber.
Shu Zhenzhen put down the screen and saw that Jun Yu was still asleep. She first dipped some water into her mouth, then took out a knife to mash a pear, dipped it in the juice and dripped it into Jun Yu's mouth, and then ate some dry food himself. After a while, she went to check the strange corridor.
When Jun Yu woke up again, she just opened her eyes and found that Shu Zhen was looking at her with real worry. She reached out and forced a smile.
Shu Zhenzhen said in surprise: "Jun Yu, your hands can move."
Jun Yu was completely awake at this time. She found that her feet were moving, probably because the anesthetic had receded.
Shu Zhenzhen touched her wrist and forehead and found that although the effect of the anesthetic faded, Jun Yu's injuries became worse and worse.
She smiled forcibly and said, "Jun Yu, show you a painting. I don't know who this woman is called Fei Yiyi, how could her portrait be in my secret room?"
Jun Yu looked at the erect screen, the beautiful woman with a beautiful national beauty was vivid. The signature on the screen was "Fei Yiyi". The bottom is a lyrics:
The ice-skinned and jade bones are cool and sweat-free. The wind in the water palace is filled with fragrance. The embroidered curtain is open, and the bright moon is glimpsed by people; the person has not yet slept, and his pillow is tilted and his hair is chaotic.
I got up and carried my hands with me, and the house was silent. I saw the sparse stars crossing the river. How about the night? It was already three o'clock in the night, the golden waves were faint, and the jade rope was low. But when was the west wind coming, I was afraid that the passing years would be secretly changed."
This word describes the beauty of Mrs. Huarui, the favorite concubine of the Shu Lord Meng Chang.
People in the world only know "Madam Huarui", but no one knows her real name. What is the beauty called "Fei Yiyi" that is exactly Mrs. Huarui?
After the Later Shu was captured by Zhao Kuangyin, the Emperor Taizu of Song, Meng Chang and a group of concubines were captured. Once, Zhao Kuangyin summoned all the concubines and saw the beautiful lady Huarui in the three thousand beauties. Zhao Kuangyin was immediately enchanted and poisoned Meng Chang to death and made Mrs. Huarui the concubine. Zhao Kuangyin had long heard that Mrs. Huarui was famous and asked her to write poems on the spot. So Mrs. Huarui casually recited the very famous poem: "The trees and flags are lowered on the king's city, but I don't know if I am in the deep palace; 140,000 people were disarmed, and none of them were men."
Jun Yu blurted out: "Could this be the tomb of the Lord of Shu?"
Although her voice was very weak, Shu Zhenzhen could hear it clearly in such a quiet secret room. She shook her head in confusion: "No, this Hanjing Garden was built by my ancestors. My ancestors have lived here for more than 100 years. In addition to Fei Yiyi, there are many strange religious patterns in the corridor."
Jun Yu thought about it and felt something was wrong. In history, the location of the tomb of the Lord of Shu was quite far from the eastern suburbs. Moreover, the secret passage was empty and there were no skeletons, sacrifices, etc., except for the walls and murals, it was a completely desolate world. Judging from the extravagant enjoyment of Meng Chang during his lifetime, this place could never be his mausoleum.
Although the portrait is intact, it looks very ancient and is definitely not a fake. Did the person who made the secret Taoist work hard to hide the portrait of Mrs. Huarui here?
Jun Yu's originally dim eyes suddenly became a little brighter: "Sister Shu, let's go and take a look at the mural."
Shu Zhen really wanted to refuse and asked her to cultivate well. Suddenly, she remembered that about three days had passed and Jun Yu might die at any time. As this thought came to her heart, Shu Zhenzhen felt confused in her mind, and she opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a long time.
After a while, she helped Jun Yu up and came to the mural. The two of them walked while watching. When they arrived at the huge picture of the ice and snow world, Jun Yu stopped.
Under the faint candlelight, the world of ice and snow was very realistic. It was obviously a special pigment. In the wind and snow, the monk in single clothes sat quietly, his eyes slightly closed, and his hands crossed in a cross-legged manner, resting on his upper abdomen under his upper abdomen.
Jun Yu stared at the carving for a while, and the monk held a tooth-shaped object in his hand. At this time, Shu Zhenzhen also saw it. She swept up and leaned into the monk's hand. The thing was as hard as a stone, but it was just a protruding decoration on the carving.
The two were about to leave, but Jun Yu could no longer hold on, so he spit out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a gurgle. Shu Zhenzhen picked up Jun Yu and ran back to the stone house and placed it on the stone chair. When he explored, the breath in Jun Yu's nose became weaker and weaker.
The special small candle was slowly burning out. Although there were many such small candles around her, Shu Zhenzhen forgot to light them up. She sat in the dark world in a daze, stroking one hand beside Jun Yu's nose, not knowing whether she was asleep or awake.
In the darkness, I could not notice the passage of time. I don’t know how long it took, Shu Zhenzhen suddenly heard a strange sound. The sound was very light, but it was very clear in such a silence. Shu Zhenzhen tightened her heart and quietly touched the ebony door. She never thought that someone would come in here, so she never closed the door after entering. She moved her heart and silently pulled the door, flashing under the stone pillar on the left to hide her body.
Suddenly, Shu Zhenzhen felt her eyes blurred. She rubbed her eyes and, beside the closed stone door, a huge torch was lit. Someone opened the stone door and came in again. At this moment, the stone door was still closed. I guess the stone door would be closed automatically as soon as the person came in. (To be continued)
