Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 85 Hundred Flowers Poetry Society
"Gloomy, never sunny; cold, chilly."

This is a sentence Gu Xu read in an ancient book.

This sentence describes the "Hell of Ice" in myths and legends - it is located in the second Yama Temple, which is used to imprison those who hurt people's limbs, rape and kill people, bully others, take advantage of profits and forget righteousness, and repay kindness and hatred. , cold-blooded cruelty, etc.

It is said that after beings in this prison are frozen, blisters will form on their bodies, then the blisters will burst, pus and blood will flow out, and then their bodies will deform and freeze into several petals, just like a blooming lotus flower.

Therefore, this hell is also known as "Blistering Hell" and "Qinglian Hell".

Although the "ice hell" is not necessarily real.

But at this moment, when Gu Xu stood in the Lu family's old house, felt the biting chill in the air, and saw the frozen corpses on the ground, he couldn't help thinking of this terrible hell.

"It's so cold." He whispered softly, his teeth chattering.

In addition, snowflakes slowly fell in the dim sky, as white and light as the feathers of a swan.

It's just that when these snowflakes fell on the ground, they suddenly turned into scarlet blood, and then disappeared.

At this moment, Chu Fengge, who was beside him, sneezed and said, "Press... According to my experience when I came here last time, when the couplet 'Hell has no door' appeared, it would be a little while later. , There should be a little girl who doesn't know if she is a ghost or a human in the hall in front.

"She would drop an inexplicable note in front of us and run away.

"I tried to catch up with her.

"But I went through dozens of rooms and couldn't find her.

"A quarter of an hour later, something terrible happened.

"Several large, ghostly-dressed monsters came towards me, trying to chain me and tie me to icicles - their faces were obscured by the mist, so I couldn't see.

"At that time, the real essence in my body seemed to be sealed by ice and could not be used at all. If it wasn't for me with the 'Breakthrough Orb'..."

Chu Fengge did not continue to speak.

Because it's too embarrassing to say it.

The dignified and dignified official of the fifth rank, without even seeing the appearance of the ghost, was beaten until his nose was blue and his face was swollen.

If this kind of thing is known to others, how will he raise his head and be a man in the future?
Gu Xu listened to his words silently and fell into deep thought.

In fact, ever since he heard Chu Fengge's words "in that weird haunted house, wisdom is much more important than force", Gu Xu has already regarded this haunted house as a copy of a puzzle-solving game - if not, owning Lord Si Shou, who has an insight into the abilities of the heavens, is absolutely impossible for him, a Zhan Wu scum of the second realm, to solve this case.

In his opinion, the most crucial information in Chu Fengge's remarks should be that mysterious little girl and that inexplicable note.

These are likely to be important clues to the secrets of the haunted house.

As a vulgar and reckless husband, Chu Fengge obviously only wanted to "kill ghosts, kill ghosts and kill ghosts".

If you use a game as an analogy, then the little girl is most likely a plot NPC, but she was beaten by Chu Fengge as a monster, chased and killed all the way, and finally "Game Over".

Just as Gu Xu was thinking about it, a thin figure appeared in the hall in front of him.

It was a little girl of six or seven years old.

Wearing a plain shirt, pale complexion.

The unkempt black hair covered most of her face, making it difficult to see her face.

She stepped barefoot on the snow-covered ground and walked towards Gu Xu and Chu Fengge with brisk steps, as if she could not feel the cold at all.

"It's her!" Chu Fengge pointed at the little girl and shouted.

Just as Chu Fengge described, the little girl casually dropped a note in front of them, then turned around and left, disappearing from their field of vision like a ghost, and she was nowhere to be found.

Gu Xu bent down, picked up the piece of paper from the ground, and found that it turned out to be a delicately made flower note.

On the front of it, a few blooming flowers are painted, and a few graceful and elegant hairpins are written next to it—

"Invitation Letter from Hundred Flowers Poetry Society".

On the back of it, a seven-character poem was written, as follows:
"The night rain falls on the barren tomb at the south window, and the grass and trees in the courtyard are deep.

"The old people in the shadows are all false, and Danqing on the wall tells this life."

"This official hates this kind of sour literati who doesn't speak human words the most in his life!" Chu Fengge glanced at the flower note and said coldly, "It's clearly an invitation letter, but it doesn't write the time. Don't write the address, how do we get there?"

Gu Xu didn't answer immediately.

At this time, he remembered that it was mentioned in the documents that the Qingzhou Lu family in history did indeed set up a "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society", and the president was Mrs. Lu, the mother of the Lu family.

The participants that year were not only the wife and son of the Lu family, but also guests from other aristocratic families.

However, this "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society" was only held once, and Qingzhou Lu's family was copied and beheaded.

But at this moment, Gu Xu and Chu Fengge had received an invitation letter from the "Hundred Flowers Poetry Society"... Obviously, it was absolutely impossible for a living person to hold this event.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to write such a bleak poem on the invitation letter.

"To be honest, I don't like Riddler either," Gu Xu smiled and responded, "But according to the style of the Lu family, maybe they think that people who can't understand the meaning of this poem are not worthy of joining their poetry club. "

Gu Xu boldly guessed that this "Hundred Flowers Poetry Club" should be the first chance of life left by the Lu family's haunted house for foreign intruders.

If he can successfully check the favorability of the Lu family's dead soul on the "Hundred Flowers Poetry Club", he may be able to obtain some clues about the "Frost Erosion" curse and "Stunning Pen".

However, if he could not reach the place where the poetry club was held within a quarter of an hour, he would be attacked by ghosts as Chu Fengge said.

"Then can you understand?" Chu Fengge squinted at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu smiled lightly and replied: "Master Chu, the answer is actually very simple. When you entered the gate just now, you should have noticed that there is a mural on the shadow wall, right?"

Chu Fengge hesitated for a second and nodded.

"Then do you remember what's on the mural?"

Chu Fengge thought for a while and shook his head.

He has always been a rough man, and rarely pays attention to these details.

"It was a picture of dignitaries drinking and having fun in a garden," Gu Xu continued. "According to the phrase 'Danqing on the wall' in the poem, the painting on the mural should be 'Hundred Flowers Poetry Society'."

"This seems a bit far-fetched..." Chu Fengge frowned, "According to what you said, the location of this Poetry Club might be at the south window, or beside the tomb..."

"No, it's not far-fetched at all," Gu Xu said, "You may not have noticed that the poem on the Huajian is actually a hidden poem—the address of the Poetry Club has already been clearly written on our website. in front of."
