Unique Zihan

Chapter 505 True Blood Lotus

"This is a good idea. Okay, you young people have a chat, and we two old people will leave first." Prime Minister Lin stood up and said to several people, he was going to the morning court.
-
After Prime Minister Lin and Aunt Lin left, the few people were not as restrained as they were at the dinner table, and looked a little relaxed at the moment. Lin Yue looked at Zihan with curiosity and admiration, and said: "I don't know why I Brother knows such an excellent son."

"Madam Tao is too much." Zi Han said with a faint smile, drinking tea with downcast eyes, not looking for a topic.

After all, she is a foreigner, and she is not familiar with these princes and nobles at all, and they have no common topics, so it is better to let them, the princes and ladies, come to find topics.

"Hehe, in fact, we only met Mr. Zi last night, but we hit it off right away. It just so happens that Mr. Zi came here to play, and Wanyan doesn't come out often, so I thought we would have fun together." Lin Shu smiled. , looked at Lin Yue and the two, "it happens to be fine today, you all come to the lake together, there are many people and it is lively."

"Well, that's fine." Lin Yue nodded.

At this moment, a family came in at the door and said to Lin Shu, "Master, it has grown again."

Lin Shu was stunned, his eyes flickered, and he waved, "Send someone to pick it up."

"Yes, young master." After the servant finished speaking, he went down.

The expressions of several people were a little confused at this moment. Wanyannuo was the seventh prince. Even if he had a good relationship with Lin Shu, he would not be able to come out often. Although he knew a little about their family's affairs, they had only been passed down through word of mouth, and so far he had not heard of them. Having never seen it with my own eyes, I was a little curious at the moment, so I asked: "Lin Shu, what is going on with your lotus pond? I heard a lot of rumors in the palace."

As soon as this question was asked, Zi Han gave Wanyan Nuo a thumbs up in his heart, it's awesome!Simply perfect!
"Oh, don't mention it." Lin Shu sighed, "It has been three years so far, and new blood lotuses will grow almost every ten days and a half months. Our Lin family has taken many measures to no avail. Those sorcerers also invited them back, and it’s still the same. Over time, we got used to it, and nothing weird happened to us in the Lin Mansion because of the appearance of the blood lotus, so we just regarded it as transparent and just picked it up when it grew out. After all, it’s blood red, and it looks weird.” Lin Shu said with a vague expression, although the matter was weird, it really didn’t have any impact on their family, at most it was just an outsider’s discussion.

"Oh?" Wanyan Nuo raised his eyebrows, "Can you show me? I have been to your Lin Mansion so many times, but I have never seen it before."

Lin Shu nodded, "Let's go, it's not a secret anyway."

After finishing speaking, he said to Zihan: "Young master Zi is from another place, maybe he has never heard of it, let's take a look together."

As he said that, he ordered the servants not to pick the blood lotus first, and waited for the few people to watch it before picking it.

Zi Han followed behind Lin Shu, with a suspicious expression on his face, and asked, "I didn't know that Mr. Lin's family had such a strange thing. I happen to be very interested in this aspect, and I have solved several cases before."

"Oh?" Lin Shu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with interest: "That's really great, maybe you can solve this mystery for Mr. Zi."

"Hehe, but don't expect too much, I did it all by mistake." Zi Han smiled lightly, but he was saying in his heart that this is the first time this old lady has solved the case~~~ It must be solved successfully, otherwise She was eliminated!

"You can't say that. My Lin family has also invited many capable people to come back for this purpose, but they have not successfully cracked it so far. If Mr. Zi is interested, I will let you take over the case. Anyway, it has been three years, and we don't care. Yes, I just want to know the reason." Lin Shu waved his hand, because of this matter, the Lin family spent a lot of money.

"Let's see, if I really have the ability, I'll take over and see." Zihan replied lightly, but he was complaining in his heart, Nima, I have to take over whether I have the ability or not. This is the end~~~
Lin Shu led a few people to the back of Lin's mansion. Along the way, Zihan saw the flowers, plants and rockeries around him. The structure of the whole mansion was just like those parks. The paths under his feet were made of milky white It is paved with cobblestones, and the flowers and plants planted on both sides are trimmed extremely evenly. There is not a single grass or flower stretching out on the path. I believe that people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will feel comfortable walking here.

The Lin Mansion was very big, and a few people were walking and chatting all the way. Zi Han felt that they seemed to have gone around the backyard of the Lin Mansion. From a distance, she saw a pool of lotus blooming under the fence in front of her, and there was only one lotus. , bright red as blood, it is blooming straight in the center of the pool.
It seems that compared to other lotus flowers, the blood lotus blooms are bigger and brighter, more than double the size of the surrounding lotus flowers.

Several people approached the lotus pond, and stood in the small pavilion extending into the lotus pond, their eyes were a little curious, especially Wan Yannuo and Zihan, after all, the others were not used to it, and they were the only two. People have never seen it before, and at this moment, the eyes of the two of them are a little bright when they are staring at the blood lotus in the lotus pond.

Zihan looked at the blood lotus, and looked at it below the water surface. It should not be a problem with water quality. After all, if there is a problem with water quality, it shouldn't be like only one lotus. But looking at the expressions of the people in the Lin family, it doesn't matter. It's too artificial, after all, there is no reason!
Zi Han's eyes flickered, he looked at Lin Shu, and said, "Mr. Lin, can you pick that blood lotus up for me to have a look at?"

Lin Shu's expression was somewhat obscure when he heard this, and he said to Zi Han: "If Master Zi doesn't mind that it has some ominous meaning, I don't have any objection. I'm just afraid that this blood lotus will bring some bad luck to Master Zi, and something will happen. It's not good." "Huh?" Zi Han frowned slightly, "What happened to the people who came into contact with it?"

Lin Shu sighed, "Yes, many people who came to my Lin Manor to investigate the blood lotus died because of contact with the blood lotus."

Zi Han's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't matter. I have never believed in evil. Everything happens for a reason. Maybe it's just that those people were unlucky." She smiled, looking a little unconcerned.

Seeing Zihan like this, Lin Shu didn't stop her anymore. After all, not all the people who had touched the blood lotus died, only some of them died.

The head servant placed the picked blood lotus in front of several people, Wan Yan Nuo and Zi Han surrounded them, as if they were not shy at all.

Lin Shu originally wanted to stop Wanyan Nuo, but when he thought about his temper, he couldn't persuade him, so let him do it.

Looking at it from a distance, the blood lotus seemed to be even more bright red, lying quietly on the chopping board with a piece of cloth under it, which was wrapped by the servants to prevent it from coming into contact with the blood lotus.

After all, people like Lin Shu still believe in evil spirits. Although they say they don't believe in ghosts and gods, they dare not touch the blood lotus if they are really asked to.

There are still some water droplets on the blood lotus, and it is as bright as a clear pearl when it touches the blood lotus.

Zihan reached out and picked a piece of blood lotus petal, put it in his hand and looked at it quietly. He wanted to put it on his nose and smell it, but he found that the eyes of Lin Shu and the others around him were a little strange, so he inadvertently held back it with his fingertips. The petals are still on the cloth, and the corner of the eye glances at the joint where the petals were pulled out. Is the inside of the petals even bright red?

Then she looked at the root of the blood lotus, and she asked Lin Shu at the root, "Is this blood lotus cut off halfway?"

"Well, because the water in this lotus pond is relatively deep, it is impossible to send people to pull out the roots at the bottom of the pond every time, so they cut it from the middle section." Lin Shu replied with suspicious eyes, "What's the problem, Mr. Zi? ?”

"No." Zihan shook his head, his eyes flashed a gleam, "I just think it's a little strange that there are no roots at the root. It turned out to be cut from the middle, so it can be explained."

Seeing what Zihan said, Lin Shu nodded, "We sent people to pull it up from the root before, but we found that no matter what we did, it still grew back, so it didn't take much trouble. .”

"Then those who came to the Lin Mansion to study the blood lotus before, have any of them gone there?"

"Of course there are, and there are not a few of them. They all thought that there might be something under the bottom of the pond, so they dived down by themselves and brought up the mud, but they found nothing special. After a long time, no one went down. Those who came down were monks and Taoists, either practicing or reciting scriptures, all of them were mysterious, but they were useless." Lin Shu looked a little contemptuous, how could a real master come to decipher this mundane matter~ all a group of people It's just people who don't eat.

"So that's how it is." Zi Han nodded and stopped asking.

"Master Zi saw this blood lotus, what did you find?" Lin Shu asked curiously when he saw that Zi Han had stopped talking.

She shook her head and said with a wry smile: "I haven't found anything, but I'm curious and want to take over this mystery for fun. Will Mr. Lin agree?" When she said this, she kept looking at several people from the corner of her eyes facial expressions.

"Of course, anyway, I wish Mr. Zi could stay in my house for a longer time." Lin Shu agreed without hesitation, and with a wave of his hand, he asked the servant to take the blood lotus away and burn it.

When Wanyannuo saw the blood lotus being taken away, his face looked a little strange and said: "This is really strange. There were red lotuses from abroad as tribute in the palace before, but they were different from the ones here. They were real red lotuses, and this It's a blood lotus. The colors of the two are really surprising. I heard that the red lotus was soaked in paint and raised from a young age, so it got that red color. But your blood lotus can appear like this if it is raised in clean water. Color? It’s really weird.”
