"Second brother, do you think twin orchids are cabbage in the vegetable market? You can see them everywhere."
Qin Yu rolled his eyes. Since the twin orchids are on the list of exotic flowers and rare herbs in the Zhuge Neijing, it is enough to show how precious and rare the twin orchids are.
"Since you don't want to say it, then I have to find out by myself."
Qin Yu glanced at Murong Wanting, and then walked towards the desk with red candles. There was a document there, which was a document for marriage.
Marriage in ancient times was known as three books and six rituals, among which the three books were "letter of appointment", "letter of ceremony" and "letter of welcome". However, the document in Qin Yu's hand only had the names of two people on it, and
The birth dates of these two people.
After seeing the names and birthdays of the two people on the document, Qin Yu's expression became a little complicated, because, to be precise, there was another name on the document, but this name was at the very end of the document.
Below, unlike the previous two names, there are also birth dates. This is just a name, and this name is: Shang Fei!
Shang Fei, Qin Yu’s second brother is also named Shang Fei.
In addition to the birth dates of the first two people, this document only has one sentence: "The Governor of Hongzhou approves the marriage."
Hongzhou is the ancient place name of NC City. Starting from the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Yuzhang County of NC was changed to Hongzhou and a governor's office was established. Judging from this document, it means that the construction time of this ancient tomb was during the Tang Dynasty.
After the mid-term.
"Shang Fei, the Governor of Hongzhou."
Qin Yu silently read the name a few times, then threw the document to his second brother, "Let's take a look."
After the second brother took the document, he glanced at it suspiciously, but at this glance, the second brother was stunned and stood there blankly.
"Second brother, what did you see, this expression?"
Seeing the change in the second brother's expression, the eldest brother and the fourth child also moved their heads curiously. However, when the two of them read the contents of the document, their expressions also became strange.
For the eldest and the fourth, who graduated from the Chinese Department, these ancient characters are not difficult. They both understand the meaning of the document, but it is precisely because of understanding the contents of the document that the expressions of the eldest and fourth become so weird.
, all this is because of the three names on this document.
The content of this document stated that Shang Fei, the governor of the Hongzhou Dudu Mansion, presided over the marriage for the two of them and acted as a witness. The names of the man and woman who got married were: Qing Mu Shan and Murong Wanting.
If this document were to be read by other people, it might not be anything different from an ordinary marriage certification document. However, in the eyes of Qin Yu and others, this document is a completely different concept.
There is no other reason. The names of the three people on this document are the same as the two people present at the moment. Is there such a coincidence?
Shang Fei, Murong Wanting, and this tomb is also the place where Murong Wanting took root. If it is a coincidence, no one can believe it.
"Wanting, what's going on?" This time, the second brother finally asked Murong Wanting. He was not stupid. When he saw this document, if he couldn't find anything unusual, then he would
I deceived myself.
"I'm not very sure what happened?" Murong Wanting's expression became very complicated. She looked at her second brother, then at the snake spirit lying on the stone bed, and finally, her eyes fell on the red orchid.
above.
"I only know that all this is caused by the snake spirit."
Speaking of the snake spirit, Murong Wanting gritted her teeth and showed a look of resentment for the first time on her face. When Murong Wanting pointed at it, the snake spirit suddenly roared, and the sound echoed throughout the tomb.
Qin Yu glanced at the crazy snake spirit, then at Murong Wanting, and continued to ask: "Tell me, tell me everything you know."
"Actually, all this is the snake spirit's conspiracy."
Murong Wanting's face showed a look of relief. This time, she no longer wanted to hide it. She had come to this step. It was time to reveal the truth.
"Grandpa once told me that I appeared in this tomb because this snake spirit brought me here. Hundreds of years ago, a snake spirit suddenly came to the mountains, and this snake spirit had a small snake in its mouth.
The snake spirit entered the tomb and planted the twin orchids on the coffin."
Murong Wanting pointed at one of the red coffins and slowly told everything she had experienced.
At that time, when the snake spirit entered the tomb, the old tree spirit had already become a spirit. The old tree spirit was a little curious, so he quietly entered the tomb, but he saw that the snake spirit actually used these twin orchids to
To absorb the soul in the coffin.
Twin orchids need Yin energy and ghost energy to grow. However, twin orchids also have another characteristic. If the twin orchid can become a spirit and transform into a human form, it will look exactly like the owner of the ghost energy it has absorbed.
The old tree spirit soon understood that the snake spirit wanted to cultivate the twin orchids into spirits, and then let the twin orchids transform into the appearance of the deceased in the coffin.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the old tree spirit, but when the old tree spirit discovered that this snake spirit only cultivated one of the twin orchids, it was very disgusted with the red one and spit venom on it every day.
Being both the spirits of plants and trees, the old tree spirit couldn't help but feel sympathy, so when the snake spirit went out, he secretly entered the tomb and stole the twin orchids.
The snake spirit's outing was actually hundreds of years later. In other words, the snake spirit has been in this tomb for hundreds of years and has not left.
After stealing the twin orchids, the old tree spirit planned to give the twin orchids away, but coincidentally, he met Shang Fei's father in the mountains. The old tree spirit knew Shang Fei's father's condition as soon as he saw it.
He was bitten by a snake spirit. After hesitating for a moment, he crushed a leaf of a red orchid and applied it to the wound of Shang Fei's father.
That's right, Murong Wanting lied when she was here. She didn't use the entire red orchid to save Shang Fei's father, but only used one leaf of the red orchid.
The reason why the old tree spirit had such a conversation with Shang Fei's father was actually that the original intention of the old tree spirit was just to say that using up a leaf of the red orchid would also be a disaster for the red orchid.
Twin orchids never change their leaves throughout their lives. If one leaf is missing, it will always be missing. The old tree spirit felt a little sorry for the red twin orchid, so he sighed like this. Who knew, but Shang Fei's father misunderstood it?
, and there was a twenty-year agreement.
"So that's what happened. It seems like this damn snake spirit is behind this." The second brother looked at the snake spirit with some indignation. However, the snake spirit felt the second brother's disgusted gaze.
The lantern-sized eyes actually showed a sad look.
"Second brother, please don't interrupt. The matter is not over yet. Murong Wanting, please continue talking." Qin Yu stared at Murong Wanting. It is probably too early to say who is the culprit.
Because, since the twin orchids fell into the hands of the old tree spirit, why would this red orchid appear in the tomb again? He would not believe it if nothing happened later.
Later, grandpa took us to live in a secluded place in the mountains. Because of grandpa's protection, the snake spirit did not find us until...it was not until grandpa left that things changed.
Ten years ago, the old tree spirit failed to survive the thunderstorm and left. At that time, the snake spirit appeared again and found the twin orchids. However, at that time, Murong Wanting could already transform into a human form. Only
That red orchid has not been cultivated yet because it was destroyed by the snake spirit.
The snake spirit appeared, and Murong Wanting, who had just transformed into a human form, was naturally no match for the snake spirit. In the end, Murong Wanting was defeated, but the snake spirit did not do anything to her. She just took the red orchid away and gave it to her.
She left a message.
"What are you talking about?" Qin Yu continued to ask.
"The snake spirit said that if I don't follow my grandfather's promise, he will kill my companions." Murong Wanting hesitated for a moment, glanced at her second brother, then lowered her head and replied.
"Wanting, what did you say?" When the second brother heard Murong Wanting's words, he felt as if he was struck by lightning and trembled several times. Then he looked at Murong Wanting with an expression of disbelief.
Because the meaning of Murong Wanting's words has been made very clear. The meeting between her and her second brother was not an accidental encounter as she said before. And then she found out that the second brother was her grandfather.
The person who made the engagement for her.
All of this was premeditated by Murong Wanting. I am afraid that Murong Wanting found out the identity of the second brother, and then pretended to meet the second brother by chance and walked together with the second brother.
"You are with me not because you really fall in love with me, but because you are threatened by this snake spirit, right?"
The second brother's expression became angry. He really fell in love with Murong Wanting. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to marry her despite knowing that Murong Wanting was not a human being. But the facts before him told him that Murong Wanting did not love her.
He, all this is because of that snake spirit.
"I...I just wanted to complete the snake spirit's mission and rescue my companions at first, but after getting along with you for a while, I thought you were a very nice person." Murong Wanting was a little afraid to face the anger of her second brother.
eyes, and said in a low voice.
"You think I'm a very nice person, but you still don't love me." The angry expression on the second brother's face disappeared, replaced by self-deprecation, "Yes, I'm really stupid, we are not the same kind, how could you fall in love so easily?"
Come on, I don’t look like Pan An and Song Yu. What you really love is probably this red orchid.” (To be continued)
