Looking at each picture one by one, Shen Lie went to the opposite side, and finally stopped in front of the shabby calligraphy and painting with clean ink.
Visitors to the mountain temple come to visit in the middle of the moon.
In the old dream of the past, the peach blossoms are smiling.
Visitors to the dead.
He looked at these three words with rare confusion in his eyes.
Rougu examined the heads one by one and found that they were all clay sculptures.
How did Shen Lie guess it?
She turned back to look for Shen Lie and saw the young man standing in front of a calligraphy and painting. That calligraphy and painting was the deceased guest.
Rougu wanted to go there, but after thinking about it, she decided not to go.
She put the clay sculpture back to its original place, turned back and sat down in front of the fire beside Shen Shu.
Shen Lie was still standing there. The distance was too far, the firelight in the darkness was blurry, and only the tall and straight figure of the young man could be vaguely seen.
Rou Gu never had a good impression of Shen Lie. When Shen Lie was still young, she felt that he was an unpleasant child, taciturn and with a very bad temper. Later, Shen Lie went to the Guo family. See you again in three years. Okay, His temper became even worse, and the child who was so small before suddenly grew so much taller, and his skills far exceeded those of children of the same age.
However, there is nothing she can do no matter how much Aunt Rou dislikes Shen Lie. She understands how much Shen Shun values this younger brother.
In this world, the only person who can make Shen Shun care about him is Shen Lie.
Rougu looked at the young man, and then at the calligraphy and painting in front of him.
She was so far away that she couldn't see anything, but those few lines of words seemed to be reflected in her mind, as well as the words Shen Xu said: "Dead people."
Even so, are these few lines worth Shen Lie's pause for so long?
Shen Lie could already memorize just four lines of characters.
His gaze seemed to be on the paper, but also seemed to pass through the paper.
"Visitors from the past" and "In old dreams", these two sentences made him unable to calm down and made his heart agitated.
There seems to be a pair of eyebrows and eyes on the paper, lively like stars, twinkling and twinkling, a smile like a crescent moon, as bright as the spring glory of the peach creek.
Ah Li...
Shen Lie frowned slightly and looked away from the paper, looking deeper into the darkness.
All things return to their roots. Cold and summer come and go, rivers flow across the earth, and this is where the way of heaven lies.
Therefore, if a departed person comes back again, is this considered to be sailing against the current?
I came here because of Shen Sui, but Shen Lie suddenly wanted to leave. This place was too weird, and it always made him feel unspeakably uneasy, and it had something to do with her.
At this moment, there was movement in the darkness he was looking at.
Shen Lie was startled and looked intently, only to realize that there seemed to be a door in the darkness.
Shen Lie immediately raised his feet and walked away. Before he reached the door, a loud bang came from the other side, shaking the earth.
There was gravel falling from the sky, and Rougu stood up in surprise. The source of the sound seemed to be outside the door that she pushed open with all her strength.
The subordinates who were sleeping far away also woke up one after another, and Shen Xu also opened her eyes.
Another roar came, like a heavy hammer hitting a bell, deafening and deafening.
Following the sound, huge rats suddenly rushed from the darkness ahead, densely packed.
Shen Lie immediately drew his sword, but the mouse walked far away from both sides of the fire he was holding and ran towards the distance, just running for his life without any intention of stopping.
Shen Shu's men fled towards the fire. In the chaos, they inevitably trampled the rats, splattering blood and internal organs, and they were instantly trampled to a mess by their companions.
The rats ran towards the way they came, their thin ears seemed transparent in the firelight, and they flocked to the stone door by the thousands.
Everyone was stunned and in disbelief. They had never seen such a scene before.
After the last mouse ran away, the men seemed to be breathing again and turned to look at Shen Xu.
"Sir..." Rougu's voice was trembling and her face was pale.
"The rats, run away." Shen Xu said.
Rougu paused and had been with him for many years, and she could understand what he meant almost instantly.
"Yes," Rougu said, "they should have run away."
"Then go inside." Shen Xu said, standing up.
When he raised his eyes and saw the young man holding a long sword in the distance, Chen Shu raised his eyebrows slightly and was quite surprised.
Shen Lie also looked at him. He looked away coldly and raised his hand to return the sword to the scabbard neatly.
"Are you coming alone?" Shen Xu asked after passing by.
"yes."
"You're actually here." Shen Shu smiled.
"Seeing me die for you makes you smile so happily." Shen Lie looked at him.
Shen Xu indeed smiled even happier and said, "No."
Shen Lie looked at the stone door ahead and asked, "What's over there?"
"I don't know," Shen Xu walked forward and said, "Let's go and have a look."
"I don't know, what are you doing here?"
"Come and let me know." Shen Xu smiled.
Shen Lie looked at his figure coldly and followed him. After walking a few steps, he noticed the calligraphy and painting in front of him from the corner of his eye. He walked up and saw another clear calligraphy.
I was shocked to hear that the country was destroyed, the mountains and rivers were destroyed, and I looked to the north to see the isolated city of the imperial capital in danger.
When spring comes, the sparrows will return to their nests, but the shadows of the tired birds will return to nowhere.
Poems about national subjugation.
And the paper is so obvious that it can be recognized at a glance.
And this handwriting...
After a heavy meal, the city cannot move.
It is an only copy of an ancient book, which was sent by Zhao Xun and placed in the Guo Mansion. It is a treasure of Xia Zhaoyi.
There are many handwritten articles on the original copy, and the handwriting of one article is almost the same as the current calligraphy and painting.
The article, it seems, was not signed.
"Zhiyan." Shen Xu called, stopping outside the stone gate to wait for him.
Shen Lie turned around and followed.
As soon as the mouse left, there was no longer the soft crackling sound inside the stone door, and at the same time, the previous roaring sound also disappeared.
"Will there be plague?" Rougu asked, expressing the biggest uneasiness in her heart.
"No," Shen Xu said softly, "If there is plague, the rats themselves will die. If they don't die, they will not live long. There are too many rats here and they are very strong. But you still can't take it lightly. Protect your mouth and nose, and Try not to touch things here with your hands."
Rou Gu nodded: "Yes."
When they came out, several of their men picked up torches from the fire, and now they were walking a little more spread out, allowing for wider visibility. They could see patches of rat droppings and bones on the ground.
When the companion dies, the rats will eat the companion.
"I never thought that down here it would turn into a huge rat farm." Shen Xu said while looking at the vast ground.
"I wonder what that loud noise was just now," Rougu said worriedly.
"I'm curious too," Shen Shu smiled, "Let's go."
He smiled quite easily, without any of the gloominess before.
The ground is made of smooth square bricks, which are as solid as the masonry of the outer wall. Except for the gaps in the splicing, there are no cracks in the masonry.
They kept moving forward. In the darkness, there was no ceiling, no walls to the sides, and the emptiness seemed to be boundless.
The ground they walked on was densely covered with rat droppings and bones stretching out under their feet.
In addition to the tiny bones of rats, they also encountered yellowed human bones that had been completely eaten, as well as animal bones whose shapes were indistinguishable at first glance.
