Chapter 56 Flower Scroll (6)
"Let's find a way to get through." Duan Chouyu said.
The water in the pond was rippling with clear light and shadows, and it looked gentle and peaceful under the moonlight. But Duan Chouyu knew that everything in the dungeon was deceptive to a certain extent. Maybe the water in the pond looked calm at this moment, but who knew what was lurking underneath.
Therefore, it is most inappropriate to wade into the water rashly.
Gu Qiufeng glanced at her and asked, "Miss Duan, do you have any good ideas?"
Duan Chouyu said, "I'll try."
She squatted down and touched a withered lotus leaf with her hand.
Gu Qiufeng saw that the lotus leaf suddenly shook, and under the moonlight, countless fine green tubes extended from the edge of the lotus leaf and pierced into Duan Chouyu's fingertips.
Duan Chouyu's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened. Slowly, the withered yellow lotus leaves began to show signs of green.
The green color seemed to move, gradually covering the entire lotus leaf. Green branches grew out from the other end of the leaf, growing intertwined and entwined with each other as if with vitality, gradually forming a green cableway on the pond.
Duan Chouyu had already let go and stood up, looking at Gu Qiufeng: "Let's go, they will escort us."
Only then did Gu Qiufeng fully understand what Duan Chouyu's second skill meant.
Duan Chouyu was able to become the vice president of the third guild in just a few years, not relying on the vague identity of a prophet.
Logically speaking, dual-skill players are so rare, and Duan Chouyu and Gu Qiufeng are not in the same camp, so there is no need for Duan Chouyu to expose his strength so clearly.
Is Duan Chouyu trying to show goodwill to him?
Gu Qiufeng thought calmly that Duan Chouyu should want to win him over, and not as the vice president of the third guild, but as her, Duan Chouyu herself.
I just don't know what this young lady prophet is thinking in her heart.
Without thinking any more, Gu Qiufeng followed Duan Chouyu and stepped onto the green cableway.
They used an invisibility potion sold in the store, which lasted for twenty minutes, enough time for them to check the identity of the person in the pavilion.
Only when they came closer could they see the decorations in the pavilion clearly.
A pearwood table and two red stools.
There seemed to be some paper on the table, but for fear of disturbing the people in the pavilion, they did not enter the pavilion, but just looked at it from the side.
A woman in a goose yellow tasseled skirt was standing in front of the table. She had a conical hat on her head and layers of white gauze piled in front of her face, making it impossible to recognize her features.
But the person dressed like this in Princess Anyang's mansion was obviously the disfigured Princess Anyang herself.
Gu Qiufeng couldn't help but be curious. The princess had just suffered a disaster a few days ago, and yet she dared to come to the pavilion alone late at night?
There was a wooden boat floating next to the pavilion. It seemed that Princess Anyang had rowed to the center of the pond and climbed onto the pavilion by herself.
“She’s painting.”
Duan Chouyu said softly.
They were not close to each other, so if they lowered their voices a little when talking, Princess Anyang would not be able to hear them.
"I think something is wrong with Princess Anyang." Gu Qiufeng said, "She came to Chixin Pavilion alone to paint late at night. Unless she is painting her beloved, I can't find a reason to explain her behavior."
"Look what she drew." Duan Chouyu said.
The green branches beneath her feet stretched out quietly.
Princess Anyang did not notice that a green leaf quietly climbed onto the table.
Duan Chouyu closed his eyes and said, "She is painting flowers."
"Flowers?" Gu Qiufeng said, "That's definitely not right."
However, their target was not Princess Anyang this time, and meeting her was just a coincidence.
Gu Qiufeng and Duan Chouyu observed Princess Anyang for a while and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with her. After painting, they left the pavilion in the center of the pond before her invisibility disappeared.
"Where can we find the fragments?" Duan Chouyu asked, "If Princess Anyang is here, it proves that the pond is indeed not dangerous."
If there is no danger, this should be the hiding place of the Hanamaki fragments.
Gu Qiufeng asked, "What kind of flower did she paint?"
"Lotus." Duan Chouyu recalled, "Lotus is in its best bloom in midsummer."
After saying that, she was stunned: "Is this a hint?"
Gu Qiufeng said, "It's hard to say, let's go around the pond and look for it."
The pond was full of withered and yellow lotus leaves and branches. They looked around but did not see any lotus flowers growing out of season.
Princess Anyang had already left by boat at some point.
"Here." Gu Qiufeng touched the ground, "It's new soil."
Duan Chouyu was incredulous and asked, "Who buried the fragments of the flower roll here?"
At the same time, she felt that this method of searching was too simple.
Gu Qiufeng dug a few times with his hands, and a lotus petal appeared inside. He reached out and took it, but found that it felt like jade.
"It's too simple." Duan Chouyu murmured, "Princess Anyang seemed to be deliberately giving us the answer, painting there in the middle of the night."
Gu Qiufeng said: "Something is not right with this copy. I feel very bad. Let's fight and resolve it as quickly as possible to avoid any more trouble."
He didn't ask Duan Chouyu why he insisted on coming to Huajuan's copy.
She must have seen in the prophecy what happened to this copy, so she decided to intervene.
"It's really annoying, this situation where I don't know anything." Gu Qiufeng picked up the fragments of the flower roll and stood up, but found that Duan Chouyu's eyes were fixed on his back with a serious expression.
Gu Qiufeng realized something was wrong and turned his head to look, only to find that a figure had reappeared in the pavilion.
Princess Anyang has left early, so who is in the pavilion now?
"Let's go and take a look." Duan Chouyu said, "It is very likely that this flower roll fragment is related to him."
The two of them went to the pavilion again, but when they got closer they found it was empty, with only a painting left by the princess on the table.
Duan Chouyu frowned and said, "What do you think the probability is that we are wrong?"
Gu Qiufeng said: "We both saw someone, which means there was something here."
But this thing suddenly disappeared when they approached.
"He's not a human." Duan Chouyu murmured, "There are no boats around. He suddenly appeared and disappeared out of thin air."
Like a fleeting ephemeral flower.
Gu Qiufeng said: "They didn't attack us."
There are very few ghosts in the copy that are not hostile to humans.
This time, the two of them finally stepped into the pavilion, and Duan Chouyu uncovered the painting left by the princess.
"The painting has changed. It was clearly a painting of a lotus." She said in astonishment.
Gu Qiufeng looked up and saw a man in white in the painting, but his facial features were covered in bloody red paint, making him look hideous and weird.
Gu Qiufeng said: "Put it away, it might be useful."
Perhaps, the man in white in the painting was the person they just saw.
"What is the relationship between Princess Anyang and this man?" Duan Chouyu was in deep thought on the way back. After losing her memory and emotions, she had some common sense deficiencies in conventional interpersonal relationships, so she specifically asked Gu Qiufeng, "Is it like you said, that he is her lover?"
"I don't know. Maybe we need to continue to contact the princess and the fragments of Huajuan to find out." Gu Qiufeng said, "At least one thing we can be sure of is that this man is definitely related to Huajuan."
It is hard to tell whether this painting is good or bad. Duan Chouyu took the initiative to stay with her. She has the ability to protect herself before death so as not to cause trouble to Gu Qiufeng.
When Gu Qiufeng returned to the yard, he went to the thatched hut first, but this time no matter what he said, the voice did not respond to him.
Is it possible to talk to him only during the day?
Gu Qiufeng planned to try again at noon the next day.
It happened that the ghost baby returned. Gu Qiufeng thought for a moment and asked the ghost baby to guard the thatched hut to prevent any accidents.
He returned to his room, placed the pieces of the flower roll next to his pillow, tidied himself up briefly, and lay down.
During the night of the dungeon, it is better to sleep and know nothing.
Even though he was thinking this, when it was late at night, Gu Qiufeng's sleep was inevitably disturbed by a gust of cold air.
He closed his eyes calmly, but his consciousness was gradually becoming clearer.
There seems to be something in the room.
Gu Qiufeng was not surprised. He and Duan Chouyu had a rich harvest today, so it would be unreasonable for the death conditions of the copy not to target them.
Moreover, death conditions are avoidable if the means are available.
But before Gu Qiufeng could react, he was suddenly nailed to the bed by a strong force, unable to move.
What happened?!
He asked Feng He to share the room with him just to prevent any troublesome people from breaking into the house.
But now Feng He didn't move at all.
Gu Qiufeng couldn't even lift his eyelids, like a dead body, and felt the cold air slowly moving towards his bed.
Then, a hand touched his left eye.
It's the hand.
Gu Qiufeng felt the other person's fingertips gently tapping the corner of his left eye, and a burning pain suddenly jumped up from the corner of his eye, bombarding his entire eyeball.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, and even wondered if his left eye was completely disabled.
Because of the excessive pain, Gu Qiufeng even felt a slight tremor in his consciousness, and he struggled even harder to move his limbs.
As long as he could move, he would use his rich collection of cards to feed the bastard beside the bed.
Suddenly, a rooster crowed in the distance, and the cold air stopped abruptly and disappeared.
Gu Qiufeng finally regained consciousness and sat up abruptly, covering his left eye.
But the room was as calm as ever, without any illusion of intrusion.
If it weren't for the pain in his left eye, Gu Qiufeng would have suspected that he was just trapped in a nightmare.
Feng He couldn't be woken up.
He had a plan in mind and pushed the door open to go out into the courtyard alone.
In the middle of the yard, a white figure like thin smoke was seen.
The other person had long hair that dragged on the ground, and was wearing a white dress. He stood with his back to Gu Qiufeng.
Gu Qiufeng did not step forward rashly.
Who knows if this guy will be a human when he turns around.
He covered his left eye and watched the figure disappear quietly, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a dark shadow land on the eaves of a nearby house.
But before Gu Qiufeng could speak, the black shadow said first: "Senior, it's me!"
