Chapter 101

As soon as he entered the door, Zhou ziruo felt awkward, but Lu LiXiao didn't care at all. He seemed to have expected that.

"Can you tell me, elder Cang, what is your relationship with Gu family?"

Cangshui Yao said, "I have some connections with my ancestors."

The answer is unexpected. It must be the friendship of the ancestors to take care of the reverence of Lao Taijun to her. The experience of hundreds of years of life makes this woman always keep a clear mind and cautious words and deeds. The information she reveals is true, but the truth is tightly sealed in the wall. Unless she is willing to say it, it's not so easy to ask from her.

If Zhou Zi knew that he had no ability to fight with such an opponent, he would consciously press his sense of existence to the lowest level. Lu LiXiao recalled cangshui Yao's words: "the origin of ancestors Elder Cang's puppet art reached its peak, but I have never heard of the connection between Gu family and puppet art. It suddenly occurred to me that perhaps the original purpose of elder Cang was not Puppet Art... " Speaking of this, he looked out of the window with hope.

Cang Shuiyao's eyes then fell to him, and his hand caressing the mahogany moon harp suddenly and fiercely pressed the string, bringing out a sharp and harsh sound. Zhou ziruo also turned his head and looked at it strangely. He found that the puppet came to the peach tree in the yard and danced in the morning wind.

The other two people in the room did not speak. Zhou ziruo did not dare to speak out. He looked at it for a while, and gradually the carelessness on his face was replaced by the confusion rising like the rising tide.

Wearing a long water red dress, the silk puppet dances in the morning light, and her skirt is like a blooming lotus

The scenes in the garden unconsciously coincide with the scenes in the dream, which is so perfect. Only There's still one person left, and there's still one woman in pink

Cang Shui Yao, who had taken off her grey robe, often wore pink and bright clothes like peach petals.

Zhou ziruo could not help but take two steps back. He kicked several wooden cases on the ground. The sound of "Dong" made the other two people withdraw their eyes from the window.

Lu LiXiao said: "maybe the original intention of my predecessors is just to leave those who have left. Puppet technique is just the result of many attempts and efforts. If you explore in this direction, you may get unexpected results. What do you think of it? "

Cangshui Yao congealed her beautiful eyebrows and murmured: "Master Lu Are you forcing me? "

"I have no intention of forcing you. You are a delicate person. You must have known that there is no secret in the world that can be buried forever. Do not want to be touched to the root and completely cut off all the beard, sometimes it will be counterproductive. Because people who are really determined will always find all kinds of unexpected ways to get the information they need. In this process, more huge and complex meridians will be involved In this case, why don't you point out the direction for the younger generation, so as to prevent the younger generation from rushing around and digging out more things that should not be exposed to the sun? "

Zhou ziruo understood the enigmatic dialogue between the two men. In short, Lu LiXiao put his attitude in a correct and polite way, which is essentially threatening cangshuiyao. Today, he came to visit cangshui Yao with preparation. He guessed the weakness of cangshui Yao, so he used that weakness mercilessly in exchange for cangshui Yao's information.

Lu LiXiao didn't accurately guess the secret cangshuiyao wanted to keep forever, but cangshuiyao's reaction to his guess undoubtedly proved that he had found the way to the core, so he gave cangshuiyao two choices. First, he still closed his teeth and refused to reveal anything. Then he would follow his own way of thinking and find out, which is very promising in this process If you can, you will bring out deeper secrets. 2、 Tell him a clue and he'll follow it to avoid touching things he shouldn't touch.

In this case, no one will choose one, because Lu LiXiao and Gu Jue are both men of mind and means.

Cang Shuiyao obviously has no doubt about Lu LiXiao's ability. After a moment's deliberation, she says, "Gu laotaijun is old, but now Gu's family still can't leave her control."

It's well known that the Gu family has not entered but retired in recent decades. If it hadn't been for the support of Gu Taijun, it would have fallen out of the ranks of the three aristocratic families of the four immortals. Zhou ziruo nodded and waited for the following, but Cang Shuiyao closed her mouth. It was obvious that she had finished.

Zhou ziruoleng, what kind of clue is this? Every day on the mountain even a servant knows how to cut???

However, after hearing this, Lu LiXiao simply held his sword and bowed, "thank you, master Cang. I'll abide by the agreement and don't pry into the superfluous things in this matter. I'm leaving now. "

"Ah? I'm leaving now? " Zhou ziruo is puzzled. Lu LiXiao has already pulled up his wrist and walked to the door.

Stepping out of the threshold of the room, Lu LiXiao turned around and said, "excuse me, sir, how did you reply to old lady Gu that night?"

"There is no need for one more person in this world who violates the law of heaven." Cangshui Yao road.

"I see." Lu LiXiao turned and strode away.

In the garden, the silk puppet is still dancing under the peach tree. If you don't look at the consistent face, it looks like a girl who is good at dancing and making music in the wind.After a short walk from the courtyard where cangshui Yao lives, Zhou ziruo breaks away Lu LiXiao's hand. Lu LiXiao looks back at him. Zhou ziruo turns his face in embarrassment and grabs his wrist unconsciously. But even if he lowers his head, the blush on his cheek inevitably falls into Lu LiXiao's eyes.

“…… What happened after yesterday's separation? " Lu LiXiao asked.

Zhou ziruo felt his face even hotter.

It was all last night's wishful thinking that caused

Today, when I went out of shuiyinju and saw Lu LiXiao waiting outside the door, he began to feel uncomfortable. Just being touched by him, it was even more like instant power on

He has been able to keep his face no matter how touching Lu LiXiao's words are. Why should he realize that only thinking about Lu LiXiao can he be excited when he is flying???

Nima, God, play with him!!!

Lu LiXiao put out his hand to caress Zhou ziruo's face and said in a low voice, "don't you feel comfortable?"

Zhou ziruo clapped his hand, "it's OK! Don't move your hands

Lu LiXiao is not angry, but he smiles. If Zhou Zi has a kind of heart deficiency that has been seen through, nonsense, what kind of heart is Lu LiXiao? It's strange that I don't know him so well again!

As a result, Lu LiXiao, who was able to see what he was looking for, slipped away without any chance, and persistently touched Zhou ziruo's hair. "Ziruo, if you are still angry, you can punish me any way you like in the future. But I can't live without you. I've been alone for the past 20 years. It's your presence that makes my life complete... "

What are you pretending to be!!!

If Zhou ziruo patted him open again, "what's round? What's full? Is the egg round enough! Go and play with yourself

Lu LiXiao

What does Cang Shui Yao mean? Who doesn't know that Gu's family is declining? "

Lu LiXiao looked at him for a moment, put away his poetic and picturesque feelings, followed his question and said: "if you were Gu laotaijun, your family was in decline, and you were old, but you were not at ease. What would you expect at this time?"

"What are your expectations?" Under normal circumstances, it is of course to find a trusted younger generation to take over the family, but if there is a suitable person for the Gu family, why does Gu Taijun have to go back to the world in person? There is no successor, and I am old again. At this time, I hope I can survive for a few more years, at least until the family is on the right track! But time doesn't wait Time Wait for no one?

Zhou ziruo suddenly realized: "ah! I know that cangshui Yao is immortal, so old lady Gu hopes to get the way of immortality from her and continue to take care of her family! "

"That's it." Lu LiXiao's head.

"But Cang Shui Yao refused Gu's request." Zhou ziruo speculated, "cangshui Yao has a deep friendship with Gu's ancestors, and her refusal to help may be something that Gu didn't expect, so it's related to Gu's going out of Fenghe garden that night?"

"It depends on what Mr. Gu talked to Mr. Gu Jue after Mr. Cang left that night." Lu LiXiao road.

After communicating with cangshui Yao, it is not impossible for Zhou ziruo to talk from Gu Jue. What are Gu Jue's weaknesses or tricks? Of course, it's the clandestine identity of Jiangyue palace. I don't know if this threat has any effect on him

"Through my secret observation these days, Gu Jue should have found that we had insight into his identity, or he knew at the beginning that he would be recognized by us, but he still had no fear of taking any measures against us. He must not be afraid of this secret being exposed." Lu LiXiao dismissed Zhou ziruo's idea.

Zhou ziruo felt his chin, squinted and found a new way, "I think that boy is a little interested in elder Cang, otherwise he pretends to be harmful to elder Cang to threaten him..."

"Don't you think of anything but threats?" Lu LiXiao casually rubbed the acupoints at the corners of his eyes.

Zhou ziruo immediately became unconvinced. Until he cooperated with Lu LiXiao, Lu LiXiao had been working hard. He directly got the results, which was the same as the days when he was attached to Lu LiXiao in the past. If he went on like this, wouldn't Lu LiXiao's intention of cooking frogs in warm water come true? Don't think that he doesn't know that his cooperation is aimed at changing his mind!

"I'm a little expert at searching for evidence! Give it to me

[Ding! Start the search for small experts, deduct 1000 points, and the remaining points are 21000. 】

when the system sound dropped, something fell from Lu LiXiao and fell into the weeds on the ground.

Zhou ziruo wondered why the clue was on Lu LiXiao, who had already bent over to pick it up. It was an iron box a little bigger than a book. It seemed familiar to Zhou ziruo. He immediately remembered that it was the iron box that Lu LiXiao had found in the wall of the secret room where Lengmo lived!

He remembered that the box was just like a whole piece of iron casting, even without a crack, but Lu LiXiao shook it at that time, he could hear that there was something in it!

Could the contents be the clue of this event?"This box Have you come up with any mystery? " Zhou ziruo asked.

Lu LiXiao shook his head. "I've tried many ways, and even tried to destroy the box, but this box is not invaded by fire and water, and can't be broken at all. Later, I checked the ancient books and concluded that there should be a kind of magic called "prophecy" on the box. In short, it needs a matching mantra to open it. "

"Mantra If Zhou ziruo thought of something, he took out a piece of parchment from his lapel and said, "look what this is?"

Lu LiXiao looked at him in surprise, took the parchment, just looked at two lines of parchment, his look changed, "where do you get this thing?"

Zhou ziruo said, "my master came to see me the night before yesterday. I left when I left..."

"Uncle Yun hao? Did he come? Where is he now? "

"When he heard that Gu was missing, he rushed out like a mad dog. I don't know where he is now." Zhou ziruo waved his hand, "don't talk about this. Is it the mantra of opening the box recorded on the parchment?"

Lu LiXiao finished reading the rest of the paper, breathed and said, "in my opinion, ten is enough."

"Really? Then open the box quickly Zhou ziruo urged.

Lu LiXiao frowned: "if I don't make a mistake, what is recorded on the parchment is the writing of an ancient nation called" ghost mirror tribe ". This nation perished a hundred years ago. I only saw few records about this nation in the classics before. If I translate the content on this parchment..." He shook his head, saying he couldn't do it at the moment.

Zhou ziruo was very disappointed. They looked at each other. Lu LiXiao's eyes suddenly became sharp. He slightly turned to the side and said, "master 14 is very skilled. I don't know how to follow our brothers all the way here. What can I do for you?"

The fourteenth? Gu Jue??

If Zhou ziruo turns around and looks around, a bush shakes. Then he sees Gu Jue walking out of the room, smiling and walking towards them.

"What are you following us for? Did you kidnap Mr. Gu? " If Zhou ziruo is angry, his conversation with Lu LiXiao is heard, and he is not afraid to tear his face with Gu Jue.

Gu Jue still held a gentle smile: "Shaoxia Zhou misunderstood. Now even the owner is looking for his grandmother. How can this matter be related to the Jiangyue palace?"

He confessed that he was a member of Jiangyue palace. Zhou ziruo said, "what are you thinking about this time

"No comment. But I think I can help you solve the problems you're facing. " Gu Jue's eyes fell on the parchment in Lu LiXiao's hand.

Zhou ziruo was stunned. He was not sure: "do you know the characters of the ghost mirror clan?"

"It happened that there was a little research during this period. If you don't like it, I can help you open the box. " Gu Jue smiles

Lu LiXiao says: "what about the conditions?"

Gu Jue said, "I want to see what's in the box."

Lu LiXiao pondered for a moment, nodded: "yes, but I also have a condition."

"Go ahead, please."

"I want to know what Mr. Gu talked to you that night."

Gu Jue didn't seem to be surprised by this. She said frankly: "Lao Taijun and I talked about two things. First, let me use my master's trust in me to destroy Jiangyue palace. 2、 If you succeed, you will pass on the title of the head of your family to me. In addition, by the way, I don't know where Lao Taijun will go after that. "

"Does Mr. Gu know you are from Jiangyue palace?" Zhou ziruo was shocked, but he could not help believing Gu Jue's words. If Gu's family exterminates Jiangyue palace, there is no doubt that the ranking of the three generations of the four immortals will go up at the speed of a rocket. With the humiliation of being looked down upon in recent decades, it will return to its heyday with boundless scenery! This is absolutely what Mr. Gu expected most!

Gu Jue wry smile: "maybe everyone underestimates grandmother, including me." He turned to Lu LiXiao, "is Mr. Lu satisfied with my answer?"

Lu LiXiao examined him for half a moment and handed over the parchment.

Gu Jue looked at the words on the paper and said with a smile: "fortunately, opening the box should not be a problem."

"In that case, please start with the fourteenth master."

Lu LiXiao puts the box on the ground. Gu Jue looks over the parchment carefully, takes out the blank talisman he carries with him, bites his index finger, writes down the characters of the ghost mirror clan, pastes the talisman on the box, and then reads out a large section of obscure language with strange pronunciation.

The talisman on the box suddenly ignited without fire. The talisman was burned to ashes and fell on the iron box. The ashes ignited a gloomy green flame again. In a moment, the green flame enveloped the whole box, almost worrying that the box and its contents would be completely burned!

However, this worry was superfluous. When Gu Jue finished reading the last mantra, the flame went out, the shell that could not be broken by fire and water disappeared, and an old animal skin roll lay there.

“…… Is this what's in the box? "

Zhou ziruo picked up the animal skin scroll and unfolded it. There was no text on the scroll, but a messy picture.Since primary school, Zhou ziruo has been flying over the pass line in the Chinese exam. He has never passed the exam in reading, understanding, looking at pictures and speaking. What's more, he has turned his head almost 360 degrees. The more he looks, the more confused he is. Finally, he gives up with self-knowledge.

After waiting for a long time, Lu LiXiao and Gu Jue raised their heads from the hide roll one after another.

Zhou ziruo asked, "what does it mean?"

"People and objects in the painting are replaced by unconventional objects. It's normal that you can't understand them." Lu LiXiao road.

Zhou ziruo had to admit that his comfort was very helpful, "I'll just say What is the story in the painting? "

"Since that parchment records the characters of the Guijing clan, these should be the stories of the Guijing clan. It is said in the painting that the ghost mirror clan is an ancient nationality that existed thousands of years ago. This nationality connects with the underworld. The clan was born with the ability to connect Yin and Yang. They have used this ability to help many people, and even helped the country fight. However, as more and more people know the secret of the ghost mirror clan, they have encountered many troubles, and even nearly exterminated the clan. So the ghost mirror clan moved to a remote place, hidden in the mountains and forests, and began to live in isolation. They believe that the nation's blood can be passed on without being discovered by outsiders. Hundreds of years later, a man appeared in the family who wanted to create the art of bringing the dying back to life.... "

"Wait!" Zhou ziruo frowned and raised his hand to interrupt Lu LiXiao. "Next, the man was obsessed with the art of bringing the dying back to life. He was not satisfied with taking small animals for experiments, and began to kill human beings. Finally, he killed his own two daughters?"

Lu LiXiao and Gu Jue were stunned. Lu LiXiao said, "do you understand?"

"I heard the story yesterday! It was Han Xiaomei who told me! "

"The cold girl of Yaohua palace? Is there any record of Guijing clan in Yaohua palace Gu Jue was surprised.

"No, Han Xiaomei said that this story was told to her by others, and it was yesterday! She had just finished listening when I met her Zhou ziruo and Lu LiXiao are opposite. He doesn't know whether Lu LiXiao knows that this box is the clue of the case, but he knows that if there is a person on the mountain of every day who knows the ghost mirror clan well, then that person is by no means simple!

Lu LiXiao asked: "who told the story of Han girl?"

Zhou ziruo said, "I didn't ask at that time! Why don't you ask her now? "

Lu LiXiao seemed to think it was necessary. He looked at Gu Jue: "the fourteenth master..."

"I just need to know what's in the box, please. By the way, Mr. Lu, since you have seen the painting on the animal skin scroll, I wonder if you can give me this animal skin scroll? " Gu Jue laughed and said.

Lu LiXiao agrees and goes with Zhou ziruo to find hanziyi in ziluoxuan. Behind them, Gu Jue faces the roll of animal skin on her hand, and her eyes are covered with dark color.

Before noon, hanziyi should still be practicing sword with his classmates in ziluoxuan. On the way, Zhou ziruo asked Lu LiXiao, "if you just roll the hide to Gu Jue, don't you worry about something else?"

"I've seen it, and I've written it down. There's nothing to add to it." Lu LiXiao looked calm.

Zhou ziruo said, "since the animal skin roll is useless, what does Gu Jue want it for?"

"What he wanted was not the hide roll, but the second half."

"And the second half?" Zhou ziruo was surprised.

Lu LiXiao nodded, "the story on the animal skin scroll only records the death of the two sisters, and then the fate of the man and the future of the ghost mirror clan It's all unknown. The most important thing is, what is the result of that man's research on the art of resurrection. "

"Come back from the dead Is it really possible? " Zhou ziruo asked in a low voice.

Lu LiXiao firmly whispered: "absolutely impossible."

Conversation has been close to purple Luoxuan, and surprisingly, the small courtyard was surrounded by people. Zhou ziruo and Lu LiXiao look at each other. He has a bad premonition in his heart. He squeezes out from the front of the crowd and rushes into the yard quickly. Suddenly, the picture in his eyes makes his full strength pull away!

He staggered two steps, then he sat down on the ground uncontrollably. Fortunately, a big warm hand stretched out behind him in time supported his cold and stiff body.

But he forgot to look back at Lu LiXiao, who was holding him. His eyes fell on hanziyi in the courtyard. When she left yesterday, the girl's eyes full of thousands of words and clear water color were still in her mind. But at the moment, the slender body lying on the ground silently was already a cold corpse.
