Chapter 52: Open the bloody curtain

Gu Xinghan rushed to the coffee table, grabbed the piece of paper with "Six Beauties" written on it, and nervously read every line of the poem. The pain in his temples had long since disappeared, and it was like a high-speed motor was installed in his brain. , running at overclocking. "Six beauties... Six beauties... Six beauties... Six beauties..." Gu Xinghan chanted infatuatedly, put down the paper blankly for a long time, looked up at the sky, and suddenly trembled for a while: "Is that what six beauties mean? What if? If the words are embedded like this, which poem will these six words correspond to?" Gu Xinghan's eyes swept to the side. The second poem only had four short sentences. Obviously, the goal of the words was directly towards the end. The poem that hides the answer to the mystery—"Gift to Zhang Junxing"! how so? Lone Xinghan was confused again. If he could easily guess the answer to the riddle by relying on the embedded words, then why use the second poem? Would Tan Xingwan use such a simple method to expose what he wanted to say to the world so easily? Lone Xinghan sat down on the sofa dejectedly and said with a wry smile: "Brother Tan, what do you want?"

Y He Jianfei's discussion has entered a substantive stage. Uncle Li is asking when to attack the widow. Aqiang believes that the sooner the better, and it is best to solve it tonight, otherwise her skills will be enhanced if she kills one more person. points, and the stick obviously doesn't know that the woman is hiding something else, and still trusts her. If there are many dreams during the night, and he rushes to support, it will be even more difficult. He Jianfei was still hesitating. He was not afraid that he would not be able to defeat the woman, nor was he afraid that the sudden appearance of the stick would reveal some unfathomable strength. What he was really afraid of was the girl in white. He still doesn't understand the relationship between the girl, the stick, and the bloody curse. Let's say they are companions. They kill people separately and do not cooperate. If they are not companions, why do they help him save him again and again? It seems that the last time Xu Chuan was driven crazy by his brother Dao was not due to the stick. It was more likely that the girl in white took action indirectly and suppressed the amulet, thus causing Xu Chuan to misunderstand that the strength of the stick was unfathomable. Measurement. If he rashly suppresses the blood curse or even the stick this time, will it anger the girl in white? Then ten He Jianfei and ten Aqiang are not enough for her to fight.

While they were in a stalemate, there was a sudden knock on the door. He Jianfei waved his hands alertly. Aqiang and Old Man Li immediately stopped talking. When He Jianfei opened the door and looked, a pretty figure rushed in eagerly. "Qiao'er, what's going on?" Although he was surprised, He Jianfei still asked with a smile on his face. Qiaoer's face was full of anxiety and worry. She grabbed He Jianfei's sleeves and stood on tiptoes, as if she was about to fall into He Jianfei's arms. He Jianfei was so frightened that he took a step back and said, "You... What's wrong with you?" Qiao'er said in a tearful tone: "Something happened to Gu Xinghan!" He Jianfei was startled and asked: "What happened?" He thought to himself, it's not good, could it be that the girl in white took action so quickly? Qiaoer hurriedly recounted the story of Gu Xinghan's sudden illness. In order to attract He Jianfei's attention, he even added some jealousy, saying that Gu Xinghan was rolling around on the ground in pain and his head was swollen after hitting a big tree. I didn't feel any pain even when I lifted up a big bump. I kept pressing my hands on my stomach and rubbing it non-stop. The screams of ouch and ouch were scary. Stomachache? He Jianfei was stunned when he rolled his eyes and suddenly understood Gu Xinghan's intention and hurriedly suppressed his laughter. Old man Li interjected from the side: "Why do I think he is pregnant?" He Jianfei finally couldn't hold it back and laughed "ha". When he realized something was wrong, he quickly shut up, but it was already too late. Qiao'er had already laughed hard. glared at him. He Jianfei had no choice but to say, "Well, how about I go with you to see him and persuade him to go to the hospital?" Qiaoer turned his anger into joy and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

He Jianfei and Qiao'er came out and were speechless as they walked by. He Jianfei saw that Qiao'er was listless and in a very low mood. He was completely different from the high-spirited person before. He thought to himself, it seems that the rumors are true. The two of them Since they are of the same mind, why they refuse to express their feelings to each other is really strange. Xu Chuan and the others seemed to be in pain for a while. Wanting to make her happy, He Jianfei said with emotion: "I have been to Mount Putuo. The scenery is really charming and makes people forget to leave. The climate is also pleasant all year round, unlike Mount Wutai, which is covered with snow and cold almost all year round." It's going to kill me. I often tell my senior brother: It's so cold here. According to Mr. Darwin's theory, it's time for a group of little penguins to evolve in our temple." Qiaoer chuckled: "Brother, you curse You own Baoshan, be careful if your master hears it, and he will scold you in heaven." He Jianfei said: "I have told master before, and he always said to me with a smile: What can I do? Boy, you With such poor qualifications, I am the only one willing to accept you." Before he could finish his words, Qiaoer was already laughing so hard that his previous melancholy was swept away.

A cool breeze blew over softly, and then a faint fragrance floated from the distance. Qiaoer looked around and said, "It seems, is there a garden nearby?" He Jianfei said "hmm" and said, "Not far away are cherry blossoms. There are cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road. It is the season of cherry blossoms, so the fragrance is filled nearby." Qiaoer said: "I know, your school is very famous for the cherry blossom road. I have heard people say that when the cherry blossoms fill the whole sky, , stepping on that soft pink, letting the petals fly on your shoulders, it is such a beautiful scene! Who could have imagined that this place used to be a horrible and murderous road? Since I came here Have you not been to this famous scenic spot since you arrived at school? Senior brother, how about we go for a walk? Anyway, that road is very close to Lone Star Han. "Take the Cherry Blossom Road? He Jianfei's brows immediately frowned, but seeing Qiaoer's flowery smile and thinking that she was finally happy, he couldn't bear to brush her off. After struggling for a while, he reluctantly said: "Then... then let's go. Bar."

Qiaoer didn't notice He Jianfei's unhappiness at all. Like a bird out of its cage, it swept away the gloom, singing, dancing and laughing, and circled around He Jianfei, making He Jianfei laugh and cry. It's the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Large clusters of fully bloomed flowers are hanging on the branches, but they are too fragile to withstand any vibration. Just a gentle gust of wind is enough to fly up into the sky in pink and spread wantonly in front of your eyes. fluttering. Qiao'er was already intoxicated by the scenery. She murmured and sang, opening her hands to enjoy the tenderness of the cherry blossoms. At this moment, people and flowers danced together, their faces were like flowers, and the flowers entered the human scene. This kind of unparalleled delicacy and harmony Even He Jianfei couldn't help but feel moved when he saw the beauty. "Brother," Qiaoer suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled while surrounded by flower petals: "I ask you a question, you are not allowed to lie." He Jianfei was about to answer "yes", then he thought about it, She wanted to ask me if Gu Xinghan was really sick, so she changed her words and said, "Just say it." Qiaoer's smile disappeared immediately, and she sighed faintly: "Senior brother, you said someone will definitely die, right? Really?" It turned out to be this question. He Jianfei breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "What? Did it scare you? Are you afraid of death?" Qiaoer blushed and shook his head. He Jianfei smiled and said: "It's normal, who is not afraid of death? It's just that since we have entered this door, there are many times when we don't care about life and death." Qiao'er said in a low voice: "Qiao'er has been taught by his master since he was a child, and he has seen through it long ago. Life or death, what I worry about is other people..." Having said this, Qiao'er found it difficult to say anything and turned her face away, her long eyelashes trembling vaguely.

Worried about Lone Star Han? He Jianfei smiled and said, "It seems I shouldn't have said this. It was originally a warning to you not to take this matter too lightly. Who would have thought you would take it seriously." Qiaoer turned around, bit his lower lip and said, "I know. You are not just a warning, I also have intuition that many people may die this time. My master also told me that I am so scared. I anesthetize myself with constant laughter every day, but I really don’t want to think about it. ..." At this point, Qiao'er could no longer control her emotions and began to sob softly. He Jianfei was stunned. Just as he was thinking about how to comfort him, Qiao'er suddenly made an unexpected move and gently hugged his neck. , resting your head on his shoulder. He Jianfei was shocked, and just about to break away from her, he heard her softly say in his ear: "Brother, I beg you, I know that although you and Gu Xinghan are both the first disciples, he can't compare with you. I know your strength. You have even subdued the ghost road. I beg you to try your best to resolve this disaster this time, okay? Do you know? Although the situation seems calm now, it is extremely dangerous. , there is a traitor..." At this point, Qiaoer paused. He Jianfei was shocked. This was the second person to tell him that there was a traitor. He didn't expect that this girl who always seemed so innocent could be so sophisticated and scheming. He Jianfei immediately looked at her with admiration. He thought for a while, pushed Qiao'er away as smoothly as possible, and said softly: "Don't worry, since I will bear all the responsibility." I will never back down from this matter. Trust me, I can clearly see the situation in front of me." Qiaoer smiled slightly, lowered his head and stopped talking.

On a cherry blossom tree in the distance, surrounded by pink flowers, sat a girl in white clothes, quietly watching everything that happened below, staring at the backs of the two people getting away from each other for a long time, and finally He sighed softly and stroked the rough tree trunk with his white hands: "He Jianfei, do you really want to see me take action? Then watch, let you see..."

Due to Qiaoer's mood changes, He Jianfei accidentally failed to notice that there was a biggest problem hidden on this road - this road should have been bustling at noon, but now it was empty! The cherry blossoms floated far away, and the crimson color fell all over the ground. It was so shocking and tender, it was a summons to death and a mockery of fate. And the most bloody plot on campus begins here!

Arriving at the hotel where Lone Star Han was staying, He Jianfei suddenly thought of something and said to Qiao'er, "You should go back first. I'll tell him in front of you, for fear that his face won't look good." Qiao'er nodded. Go away obediently. He Jianfei saw a small restaurant next to him with a cold eye and hurriedly walked in. At this time, Gu Xinghan not only had pain in his temples, but also in his hands. Because he had been holding the piece of paper for a long time while reading and thinking, but he still couldn't think of a reason, so he had to give up. He lay on the bed and applied a hot water bottle to his hands while feeling unbearable and angry. He continued to scold: "Damn Tan Xingwan, he probably died an unhappy death, so he pulled me in and made it unbearable for me. If you can't solve it, you can't solve it. Who cares about your answer?" As he was cursing happily, outside the door Suddenly there was a "poof" smile. Lone Xinghan was shocked, could he be a traitor? Pretending to have a stomachache, he screamed loudly, while saying feebly: "Come in." As soon as the door opened, He Jianfei was holding a bowl of things and looking at him with a smile: "I'm here to greet the number one disciple of Taoism, no. Do you know you are better?" Lone Xinghan was stunned: "Is it you? Are you here alone?" He Jianfei handed him the bowl of stuff and said, "I got some medicine for you. It will stop the pain after you drink it." Gu Xinghan took a look at the contents of the bowl. It was a bowl of light yellow soup with mushy stuff in it. He was still frightened. How could he dare to drink it? After dipping a little and tasting it, he quickly threw away the spoon: "Is this Croton?! Do you want to kill me?"

He Jianfei burst into laughter and said, "I'm afraid you're not pretending to be the right person. Come and get me something to help you, and you won't appreciate it?" Lone Xinghan smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, you're so mean. You won't tell me if there's a traitor. If I don't notice it, if the news really leaks out, what will happen?" He Jianfei stopped laughing and said, "That's not what I'm saying, what if you are a traitor?" "What if?" Lone Xinghan didn't react at once: "I am the number one disciple of Taoism." "Is there a rule that the number one disciple of Taoism cannot be a traitor?" He Jianfei looked at him calmly and slowly moved the contents of the soup with a spoon. Lone Xinghan couldn't laugh or cry: "According to this, you may be a traitor." He Jianfei smiled and said: "If you can find evidence, I will admit it." Lone Xinghan was really dumbfounded this time: "Forget it, I won't mess around with you anymore. Regardless of whether I am a traitor or not, if I crack the riddle of the poem, do you want to listen?" He Jianfei was horrified: "Have you cracked the riddle of Tan Xingwan's poem?" Lone Xinghan said: " It’s not completely cracked, it’s just broken a little bit. I doubt this Tan Xingwan is human.”

Lone Xinghan pulled He Jianfei to the coffee table and said, "Have you read these three poems?" He Jianfei said, "I've definitely seen them, but I haven't interpreted them seriously." Lone Xinghan shared his thoughts with He Jianfei. He said it again, "He titled it 'Six Beauties', but there are no Six Beauties in the poem. If each action in the poem is separated separately and used as a metaphor for one beauty, excluding the first and fourth sentences, there are only four Beauty, so the "six beauties" in the title refer to something else. If I guess correctly, it should refer to the words with the meaning of "beauty" in each poem. And the position of these words in each poem, This is the key to unlocking this poem dedicated to Zhang Jun!" He Jianfei nodded while listening: "Yes, this poem is an inlaid poem. Tan Xingwan hid the six-character message in it, and the 'Six Beauty Songs' pointed out The location of the word. In this case, the answer should be revealed." Lone Xinghan smiled bitterly and said: "If it is revealed, it means it is not revealed. And how can the second poem be useless at all?" He Jianfei said: "You first Show me what you have solved." Lone Star Han gestured according to the words: "The first is the inlaid character of Liu Mei. The first sentence in the poem is clearly the word 'Shu', which is in the seventh position, and the second sentence is Not to mention, the word '美' ranks fourth. In the third sentence, only the word 'fiber' meets the requirements, ranking third. In the fourth sentence, the word '红' ranks first. The fifth sentence is a bit difficult, but Judging from the situation where the first two characters for 'face' have been excluded, the focus is on the character for color, which is still ranked seventh, and the character for 'show' in the last sentence, which is ranked sixth. To sum up, the order is: seven four three, one seven 6. Picking up the words from the poem "Gift to Zhang Junxing" in this order, the result is 'jun, cloth, yi, pen, purple, blue', which is a mess and cannot be explained at all!"

He Jianfei read it twice, not knowing what it meant, and said: "It shouldn't be that easy to solve. This is just the first layer of results. Tan Xingwan should have used the answer to create another riddle, and this time the riddle is solved." The hint is hidden in the second poem." Lone Xinghan sighed: "I have thought about it, but I have no idea at all. Look what is written in the second poem? Who is it for? The person who has left. . Who wrote it? The people who went down. Why? Because the people who left are the ones who went down. How to interpret it? It has nothing to do with those six words." He Jianfei said: "This second poem is not completely incomprehensible. At least the first sentence is understandable. To whom? The person who left. Who left? Naturally, it was Zhang Junxing, which echoes "Gift to Zhang Junxing". Who wrote it? Naturally, it was himself. But what kind of person did you call the person who left? ? It seems that Tan Xingwan already knew that he was about to disappear or die, so he wrote this poem predicting the ending. Why? Because the people who leave are the ones who go down. What Tan Xingwan means is that Zhang Junxing’s death method is similar to that of Zhang Junxing. He is the same. But how did Zhang Junxing die? Forget it, leave him alone. To put it bluntly, I don’t even know whether Tan Xingwan is loyal or traitorous. Even if it is revealed that it is just a cover, what will it do? What's the role?" Lone Xinghan said: "Indeed, but I think he doesn't have to worry so much if he wants to be a cover. Is it possible that we have overlooked another hidden situation?" He Jianfei said with an expression: "What situation? "Lone Star Han said: "Think about it, because they competed with each other for the power of the bloody curse, they finally turned against each other. It is possible that Zhang Junxing used some means to win. The winner is king of the loser, and Tan Xingwan has to swallow the defeat. It’s a bitter pill, but he may not be willing to let Zhang Junxing cover the sky with one hand, so he keeps the key to the secret and doesn’t let Zhang Junxing get what he can’t get. This is the terrible narrow-mindedness of people’s hearts.”

He Jianfei thought about it carefully and said: "Sure enough, it is possible, but I ignored it. In this case, Tan Xingwan's poem must be solved, but your inference is based on the fact that the stick is Zhang Junxing , what if this premise is already wrong?" Gu Xinghan said: "Inferring backward, through the answer to the poem's riddle, if my inference is correct, we can get useful information from the poem's riddle." He Jianfei's But he didn't think so in his heart. In his opinion, there was a faster way, which was to directly clean up the bloody curse and force the stick to show up. Don't you know who it is? But he was unwilling to tell Gu Xinghan this plan, not because he was afraid that Gu Xinghan was a traitor, but because he was afraid that Gu Xinghan would get too close to others, so he revealed this top-secret information, and he did not express any objection at the moment.
