The seventh floor of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp
Silvery white threads criss-crossed the floor, and flames shot out from gaps somewhere.
After all, it is a spiritual weapon of the heavenly realm. Even if it is forcibly eroded and controlled from the inside, it will be difficult to achieve true perfection.
The white silk threads wrapped around Xingxi's right hand have long been cut off, but she still seems to maintain the ability to control those threads. In front of them, a broken mirror floats. The scene in the mirror is Ao Xuehua reaching out towards the thorn paper clothes. The right hand with a ribbon hanging down.
In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he smiled, and his smile was thought-provoking: "He is indeed a child of that family. He is so powerful at such a young age."
Xing Xi's face was expressionless, but she asked seriously: "Do you need to clean it up?"
She doesn't mind the other party's identity, she only cares about whether the target needs to be erased.
The spring of the fourth year of Qingli smiled and said: "No, it is precisely because it is full of variables that the world is so interesting."
As he said this, he looked at the picture of the Night Banquet of Hundred Ghosts above his head that had been burned by the flowing flames and said: "We are not those crazy people in Qingyi. In comparison, I prefer the anger of the Lanye Royal Family. Taste it.”
"After all, they have slightly more children."
"Accept the rejection." Xing Xi closed her eyes: "70% of the function of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp has been controlled. Although it may cause damage to the spiritual weapon itself if activated, if it is corroded further, it will arouse the owner's vigilance."
In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, he smiled: "That's enough. The door to heaven has been opened. Next, it's just time to appreciate it."
…
…
The ninth floor of the Nine Treasure Lotus Lamp.
When Aoxuehua appeared in the square accompanied by flames, Ge Sheng was still looking at the lyrics in a daze. But this time, even the mage in black maintained absolute silence, which was extremely rare.
"Hi." Ao Xuehua greeted Ge Sheng relaxedly: "It seems that the carrot is not untied, right?"
Ge Sheng turned around and saw Xiao Jiu, who was silently following Ao Xuehua. He was about to ask what happened, but Ao Xuehua took the lead and stopped him to explain.
After Ao Xuehua's explanation, she naturally influenced the "Her Royal Highness" with her tenderness and incisive preaching. After gaining her understanding and trust, she gave away the key to the eighth floor with tears of gratitude.
Ge Sheng looked at Ao Xuehua, whose black hair was spread around her shoulders, and had reservations about her words, then turned his head and nodded the lantern: "Since the answer is here, then I haven't solved it, do you want to try it? .”
"I will do my duty!" Ao Xuehua patted Xiaojiu's shoulder confidently: "Leave it to you."
Xiaojiu touched her nose, frowned and wrote, "I don't want you to hand it over."
"Where do we go from here?
Light as the feathers suspended in the sky, heavy as the black tortoise carrying the sky.
Those who lose it are alive and dead, and those who gain it are alive even if they die. "
Half an hour later.
"Sorry, I remembered something not very good." Ao Xuehua said with a happy smile: "Since you seem to have reached the ninth floor first, you can finish burning the incense before us."
"Although I didn't expect it to be this way, but." The female swordsman in white smiled like a flower: "Victory is justice."
Ge Sheng looked at Ao Xuehua, who looked even more elegant after her long hair was let down, and couldn't help but retorted: "You didn't guess the same, it's a tie at most."
Ao Xuehua was elated and even happier: "But the problem is that you lost your qualifications in advance, so my victory is unquestionable."
"In short, Carrot-kun, you have no hope."
Ge Sheng stopped answering. These three lyrics were so obscure that they hardly looked like riddles, because there were thousands of possible explanations, but according to previous experience, there was only one chance to choose.
Destiny takes a different path, where to go? This sentence, which is somewhat mystical, can be explained as simply telling the impermanence of fate.
Light as a feather suspended in the sky, as heavy as a black tortoise carrying in the sky. This sentence is probably a metaphor, but is there really something in this world that can be as heavy as a mountain and the sky in words, or as light as a feather in words? Even if Ge Sheng understood the meaning of this sentence, how could he find such a mysterious existence.
Those who lose it are alive and dead, and those who gain it are alive even if they die. Ge Sheng even made some slanders about these three sentences, and the meaning would make sense if the order was reversed.
"You really don't want to give up. You said you have no hope, but you still don't believe it." Ao Xuehua touched his nose: "What a stupid kid."
Ge Sheng felt that he seemed to have grasped the clue. He looked back at the question again and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Uh...Sister Xuehua."
Ao Xuehua heard him call her and agreed very decisively: "Finally gave up?"
Ge Sheng shook his head and asked seriously: "What is the most important thing to you in this world?"
Ao Xuehua didn't expect that Ge Sheng would suddenly raise this question related to three views, but she smiled and didn't think too much.
"Is it something I value?" She gently spit out a two-word answer:
"free."
Ge Sheng nodded, then turned to face Xiao Jiu: "What about you?"
Xiao Jiu thought about it seriously and raised her hand: "Guard, everything you cherish."
Ge Sheng nodded and was about to turn to the mage in black, but saw that the girl was already there watching him.
The fiery red crystal eyes under the hood closed for a moment. When he opened them, Ge Sheng suddenly felt that the eyes were no longer empty and chaotic, but like a spring water slanting against the setting sun, full of vitality and emotion. .
She glanced at the puzzle, shook her head, and then said: "Probably, it's hope."
After saying this, she closed her eyes again. When she opened them, her flaming eyes were lifeless again.
Ge Sheng's thoughts were finally confirmed. He glanced back at the lamppost, raised his hand and picked off one of them, and smiled: "I think I have figured out the answer."
Saying this, Ge Sheng raised his hand and inserted the cube into it.
As soon as the square was inserted, the huge lantern suddenly rotated. The entire lantern seemed to be cut by an invisible sharp blade, like the petals of a closed lotus blooming at random, revealing the things hidden inside.
The light orchid fragrance instantly filled the entire space. This special aroma of green pear wood is unmistakable to anyone.
Sure enough, the exquisite orchid rhinoceros lantern was quietly placed in the center of the blooming lotus, waiting for its owner as the final prize.
Even though he had seen it before, it was only now that he saw it up close that he could truly appreciate the exquisite skills of the wood master. Ge Sheng raised the lantern and imitated the appearance of the master of ceremonies. He turned slightly and saw that the orchid rhinoceros lantern had indeed blossomed. , the light color gradually deepened from the initial light green to deep blue.
The patterns carved on the pieces of wood are as if they were alive, and when the flowers bloom, there seem to be dancing butterflies.
Ge Sheng couldn't help but admire, and then looked around at the other three people, only to see the black-clothed mage still standing there seemingly unconcerned with the world, while Ao Xuehua and Xiaojiu both looked at the lanterns with astonished expressions.
The No. 1 lamp in the world, in a sense, it is indeed well-deserved.
Ge Sheng didn't think too much, and stretched out his right hand holding the lantern towards the mage in black: "Thank you sister for taking care of me all the way. It's weird for me to hold this lantern, so I'll give it to you."
