Chapter 91 Three vows
"What is written on this piece of paper?" Chu Fengge said, leaning over her head.

However, when he saw the content on the flower note, he immediately frowned.

"I really hate this kind of bastard who pretends to be mysterious and doesn't speak human words!" He complained unpleasantly, and then asked Gu Xu, "Do you know what these words mean?"

Gu Xu pondered for a moment and replied, "Since the 'Lantern Festival Lantern Festival' is mentioned, it must be a riddle - and the answer to it is estimated to point to a certain place in this house."

"Then can you guess its answer?" Chu Fengge asked.

Now that Gu Xu was by his side, Chu Fengge was too lazy to use his head.

"The answer is simple," Gu Xu replied. "It's round, with water, no fish or shrimp, and people often pass by - it's obviously a well."

After all, there is no water system in this world.

People's daily water needs to be picked from wells.

Therefore, "the sun shines on the face of the people".

"Oh." Chu Fengge nodded, pretending to be "I guessed it a long time ago".

Then Gu Xu looked at Tang Hui: "Master Tang, do you know where the well in this house is?"

Tang Hui replied, "I remember there was one in the yard in the northeast corner."

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, two little brothers, I can't go with you this time. I failed the first test just now, and there must be evil spirits coming after me soon. Me. In order to save my life, I must go to my shelter as soon as possible."

"It's okay, Master Tang," Gu Xu said with a smile, "the information you just provided us has been of great help to us. We are still thinking about how to thank you!"

"Little brother is too polite," Tang Hui also began to laugh and say politely, "Actually, I help you, but for my own little selfishness.

"For nearly 20 years, the 'Jinghong Brush' has been hidden in this house, but no one has ever seen its real appearance. And with my own shallow talent, obviously I can't pass the many tests it sets.

"So, I can only pin my hopes on others, and hope that someone can help me see the day when 'Jinghongbi' will see the light of day again.

"Little brother, you must help me realize this wish!"

"Since Master Tang has such expectations, I will definitely do my best!" Gu Xu said sincerely.

After the words fell, the two looked at each other and smiled, looking very happy with each other.

However, how many sentences in this dialogue are true and how many are false, I am afraid only the two of them know.

Then they parted ways.

Tang Hui walked to the northwest and went to the northwest corner tower.

Gu Xu and Chu Fengge walked northeast to find the well mentioned in the riddle.

At this time, the Lu family's ancestral house had become dark and cold again.

Gu Xu had to try his best to drive the real energy in his body to barely resist the biting chill and prevent his body from being completely frozen.

They walked all the way along the Chaoshou Veranda, passing through large and small rooms and courtyards, and finally arrived at an inconspicuous small courtyard in the northeast corner of the mansion.

Gu Xu quickly recognized that this was where the servants lived.

The well mentioned in the riddle is located in the corner of this small courtyard.

The well is circular.

The edge of the well is low and made of gray marble. The surface of the stone is uneven and has faint traces of moss.

Beside the well, there was a tall elm tree—its leaves had long since fallen; on its branches there was a thin layer of hoarfrost.

On its canopy, there is also a blood-stained white damask, fluttering gently under the cold wind, which adds a bit of chilling atmosphere to this shadowy environment.

"The 'Lantern Festival' is actually held here?" Chu Fengge looked around and was deeply surprised, "That guy named Tang is not fooling us, right?"

Gu Xu didn't answer immediately.

He gathered his true essence to his fingertips and transformed into a dazzling ray of light.

With this light, he looked down the well.

At this time, he discovered that the well had become a dry well—and under the well, there was a pile of bones!
"Could it be that when the Lu family was beheaded by the whole family, the bodies of those family members and servants were thrown into this well?" He secretly guessed in his heart.

He tentatively placed the note in his hand on the edge of the well.

In an instant, an orange-red fire lit up not far away, and there were also loud shouts and the sound of swords colliding.

A few seconds later, several figures appeared in front of them.

Standing at the front was a young woman dressed as a servant—Gu Xu quickly recognized her identity as Lu Shiyao's personal maid, Shu Yan.

But what she looked like at the moment was horrible.

She was ragged and staggering, her hands were shackled, her skin was bruised and her face was smeared with tears.Every footprint of her was left with dark red blood.

From her eyes, Gu Xu saw the anger from his heart, and the despair of helplessness.

And behind her, there were several men who looked like soldiers - but they were all disheveled and had slutty smiles on their faces.

"Is this the image from the time of the incident..."

Gu Xu found that he seemed to have become air, and he could pass straight through the bodies of these people, completely unable to come into contact with them.

"The woman in the Lu family's mansion feels different from the broken flowers and willows in the kiln outside!" A soldier laughed, his eyes swept recklessly on the body of the maid, Shuyan, "Now she will be executed. , I still feel very pity."

"It's just a maid, it's cool, it's not a pity," his companion said again and again, while slowly drawing out the saber on his waist, "Wait a while to enter the inner room and meet those distinguished ladies and gentlemen. , that's called being energetic!"

"I will keep in mind the humiliation you gave me today," Shu Yan said in a calm tone, "Even if I die and become a demon, I will not forget it."

"Do the servants of the criminal family dare to threaten us?" The soldier stretched out his hand to grab her chin and said viciously, "With your master's treason, even if you are humiliated [-] times, it is not worthy of mercy. "

"Master Lu can't possibly treason," Shu Yan said indifferently, "he was wronged."

"Injustice? The treason committed by the Lu family is iron-clad, and His Majesty the Emperor personally adjudicated it. How dare you say it was wronged?"

"Master Lu is innocent." Shu Yan repeated the words again, but there was no expression in his eyes.

"Could it be that you guys acted too rudely just now and made this girl stupid?" The soldier looked at his companions and laughed and joked.

Shu Yan ignored them and continued:

"If the Lu family is really wronged, I will fly to the white silk when my head falls and touches the ground with a little bit of blood;
"If the Lu family is really wronged, three feet of snow will fall on the dog days of June in the future;
"If the Lu family is wronged, from now on, this Qingzhou will suffer a severe drought for three years."

The soldier ignored her.

He pulled out his saber with a "huh", and while continuing to make vulgar jokes, he slashed at Shu Yan's neck with the knife.
