After that day, Qu Liufeng did not pursue Gu Qingyao's visit to the Qu family compound.
Gu Qingyao took his reaction as acquiescence, and went in and out of the Qu family compound more frequently.
After meeting her several times, Qu Liufeng simply stopped going home and stopped going to the place where he lived before. He moved directly to Qu Liuchen's apartment to live with him.
The investigation of Gu Qingyao has been ongoing, but there has been no substantial progress. Except for the news that her real name is Cai Zhenyue and that she grew up in an orphanage in City B, no other information can be found.
.
I don't know whether her life circle is really simple, or whether someone has gone too far in concealing it. All of this is unknown.
While Qu Liufeng was secretly investigating Gu Qingyao's identity, Ito was also conducting further investigations into her identity, and the information obtained was not far from the information Qu Liufeng investigated.
Just as they were making careful plans, Gu Qingyao had already used her own methods to make a comeback and once again became a popular model on the screen.
Of course, Qu Liufeng's acquiescence and Ito's help were indispensable.
Gu Qingyao took off very quickly, and even after filming two commercials, she became famous all over the country. After a few months of absence, she finally tasted the feeling of being held high in someone's hand again.
Following that, major changes took place in her life, and Qu Liufeng began to become unimportant in her eyes. Not to mention going to visit the Qu family and his wife, she no longer even took the initiative to call him.
There are even rumors outside that she already has the idea of changing jobs. She will leave without hesitation just waiting for any entertainment company to offer better conditions than Qu's. As for her marriage to Qu Liufeng,
It was mentioned less and less. When a reporter asked about it during an interview, she even smiled and said, "Is there such a thing? Why don't I remember it?"
Her life is becoming more and more carefree, which was not part of Leng Qin's plan.
But at this time, she no longer had time to care about how Gu Qingyao was doing. She had more important things to do.
More than half a month ago, the two children's physical conditions appeared one after another. At first, they had red rashes all over their bodies, but Ito checked several times and found no allergens, and the food they ate was what they had been eating.
thing.
Strangely, after a week, the red rash on the child disappeared inexplicably.
Just when everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the child started to have a low-grade fever, which continued continuously without any sign of subsidence. Just like Leng Qin during pregnancy, no matter what method was used, the fever could not be reduced. Even if the baby was sent to the hospital
After returning to the Qu family compound, there was still no relief, and the condition even became more serious.
Ito invited the genius doctor "Dongyan" from the Ito family, but the cause of the disease was still not found.
The child's condition plunged several adults into panic.
"Mr. Qu, I heard that Miss Leng had the same situation as her child when she was pregnant, right?" Dong Yan said coldly and looked at Qu Haidong and his wife.
After receiving their affirmative answer, Dong Yan frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Qu, with all due respect, has anyone in your family ever been poisoned or cursed?"
Qu Haidong looked slightly startled and hesitated for a long time, but still did not speak.
"Mr. Qu, please tell me the whole story. This is related to the child's life and safety."
Dong Yan's solemn expression finally made Qu Haidong give up his persistence and told Dong Yan the whole story.
"If my guess is correct, the curse should have been affected in an unexpected way, or it has reached a cycle, which is when it attacks... Mr. Qu, can I go to the main house and take a look?"
"certainly."
After the group arrived at the Qu family compound, Dong Yan took out a bronze object that looked like a Sinan or a tripod from the bag he carried with him, and began to walk up and down the house, as if he was observing something.
Leng Qin stared uneasily at the child in the cradle, her eyes glancing at Dong Yan's body from time to time.
"Dong Yan's father is Chinese and knows the art of witchcraft. He has obtained all of his father's true stories. He will definitely find out the reason. Don't worry..."
Ito approached her and comforted her in a low voice, but his words had no effect. On the contrary, her frown deepened.
After a long time, Dong Yan slowly walked down from upstairs with a solemn expression.
"Mr. Dongyan, how is the situation?" Qu Haidong asked anxiously.
"It's this thing that's causing trouble." Dong Yan said, spreading his hands, and in the palm of his hand lay a blue crystal object that looked like an animal.
Mrs. Qu was a little curious, and raised her hand to touch it. Dong Yan shouted urgently, "Don't touch it, it is a live poisonous insect. As long as someone from the Qu family touches it, it will react with great force."
Drill into you as fast as possible."
Mrs. Qu's body froze, she took a few steps back in fear, and timidly looked at the object in his palm.
"If my guess is correct, there should be a lot of these things in this house, and there should be a lot in that house."
"Mr. Dongyan, what are these things for?"
"As long as they successfully penetrate into the bodies of three people, they can trigger the last spell of the curse." Dong Yan's expression was solemn,
"The final spell?"
"The so-called last talisman is the last protection left by the person who poisoned you in the first place. You are the guards of the royal family. It is to prevent you from rebelling in the end and annihilate you in one fell swoop! According to the curse on your family,
Once the final spell is turned on, within three months, each of them will suffer from various diseases and die suddenly one after another!"
"Mr. Dongyan, is there any way to break it?"
"Since you can cast a curse, there must be a way to break it. Are there any things passed down from the ancestors of the Qu family that suddenly disappeared halfway? Is there anything that can ward off evil spirits?"
"Twenty years after the curse took effect, a bronze mirror inherited from our family suddenly disappeared!" A slightly aged voice sounded at the door. Following the voice, I saw that it was Mr. Qu.
"Grandpa, why are you back?" Qu Liufeng hurriedly walked over and supported his body.
"If I don't come back, my great-grandson and great-granddaughter will die!"
"The bronze mirror the old man mentioned is the Bagua bronze mirror?" Dong Yan asked urgently.
"I can't remember clearly, but before my grandfather died, he left an ancient painting to me, saying that it was the bronze mirror that was lost in our family... That painting is still locked in the safe."
Soon, Mr. Qu, with the support of Qu Liufeng, went into the study and took out the ancient painting.
The ancient painting is packed in a box covered with cinnabar. On the entire rice paper, there is only an image of a bronze mirror. From the front to the back, every detail is clearly depicted. There are a few lines at the end of the ancient painting.
Small, strange characters.
Dong Yan held the portrait and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowing tighter and tighter. After a long time, he slowly put down the ancient painting.
"This should be the Qu family's mascot of the house in the past. If I remember correctly, this mirror is said to be a bronze mirror with ten sides made by an immortal after the creation of the world. Its effect in warding off evil spirits is comparable to that of an immortal sitting at home. Obviously, at the beginning,
After the curse was placed, someone noticed that the curse on your family had no effect, so they sent someone to steal the mirror and hide it."
"Mr. Dongyan, you have said so much, but you still haven't explained how to break this curse."
"First of all, we have to find this mirror. Judging from the bright colors on the ancient paintings, this mirror should still exist. The Eight Trigrams Ten-sided Bronze Mirror is a sacred object. Ordinary people cannot destroy it unless they use special tools.
Means. And once it is destroyed, everything related to it will disappear with it."
This painting will no longer exist.
"But, where are we going to find this mirror?" Qu Liufeng asked a little irritably. The world is so big, who would know where the royal family would hide the mirror.
"The capital of Qi Ming Kingdom is Chuming Mansion in Yancheng."
Dong Yan slowly read out such a sentence, leaving everyone around him confused.
"This is a clue left by your ancestors."
He pointed his finger at one of the small lines of characters and spoke lightly.
"Since clues have been left long ago, why didn't they look for them earlier..."
"If the last talisman of the curse is not triggered, even if your ancestors find this mirror, they will not be able to break it. And if they find the mirror, it will also cut off the livelihood of your descendants."
"No wonder grandpa gave it to me with many warnings, saying that it would be useful somewhere one day. If someone asks if something is lost at home, that's when it should appear."
There was a hint of relief on Mr. Qu's slightly weathered face. After living for several decades, this question had been haunting him. Only at this time did he finally understand his grandfather's instructions before his death.
"I will lure out the poisonous insects in the child, and I will also find ways to get rid of the poisonous insects that are still in the house. Just looking for the mirror, I can only rely on the strength of you and your wife."
Dong Yan looked straight at Leng Qin and Qu Liufeng, his tone indifferent.
"us?!"
The two spoke in unison, and they looked at each other unconsciously.
There was no extra emotion in Qu Liufeng's eyes except surprise, but Leng Qin's eyes had a hint of rejection and even a hint of complaint.
"The warning left by our ancestors is that the husband and wife must work together to find the ancient mirror, otherwise the role of the sacred object will be compromised. Mr. Qu and Mrs. Qu are already so old, you shouldn't ask them to search for it, right? Besides, now
It’s your children who are having the attack, and if you recover them, their physical condition will get better faster!”
Dong Yan's last words shattered the last luck in Leng Qin's heart. At this time, she seemed to have no other choice——
