Chapter 24 Pear Blossom Lantern Festival (6)
Liu Sheng turned into a tree.
The sky was bright, and she could see the rippling blue waves in the small pond below, a few koi swimming freely, lotus leaves standing above, and snow-white falling flowers floating in the air.
There is a small pavilion next to it, with a plaque of "Drunken White Pavilion" hanging on it. The surrounding forests, stones and clear pools complement each other, and the winding paths of corridors and pavilions are intertwined.
Her body is still very slender, but not as thick as a bowl.
Everything is different from Zui Baiyuan later, I don’t know how many years ago it was.
“Mom, I want to try again!”
Suddenly, a man’s roar rang out in the carved hall in the distance. The sound was so loud that even Liu Sheng, the tree on the rockery, You can all hear it, and the voice is full of unwillingness and anger.
"Son...are you trying to force mom to death...your father is no longer here, and you know mom's physical condition, and she really can't afford to support your studies...you have taken the exam three times. ...The imperial examination is not the only way in the world..."
Liu Sheng heard an old and thin female voice say intermittently.
For a tree, she has really good ears.
“No, I don’t care!”
I saw a man in a green robe, about thirty years old, covering his face and running out of the flower hall. He ran to Liu Sheng’s side before he fell to his knees in anger. On the ground.
He punched the ground fiercely: "Why! Why! I have worked so hard! Why can't I pass the exam!"
He hammered a few times. He has been studying and has never done any heavy work. His delicate hands were pricked by the gravel on the ground and bled.
The man looked at his bleeding hands: "I have been studying hard for thirty years, and I have an empty stomach of ink. I can't do anything, I can't do anything!"
Then he lay on the ground and cried bitterly.
I don’t know if it’s because I’m sad or my hands hurt.
As a tree, the concept of time is very vague to Liu Sheng.
She seemed to have seen a lot of things happening in Zuibai Garden, but she didn't seem to remember much. They just passed by her eyes like a phantom.
I don’t know how long it has passed, but it’s Liu Sheng’s flower blooming season again, and the ground is covered with white flowers.
The Zuibai Garden is also covered with white hangings everywhere.
The man, also dressed in white, sat in the pavilion and cried silently.
He looked older than the last time I saw him, and his breath was much more depressed.
It seemed like he was the only one left in the world.
"Mom, you won't let me sell Zuibai Garden, but I'm the only one left in this garden. It's empty, and cleaning it is tiring..."
As he spoke, he began to cry bitterly.
Liu Sheng shook the branches, and the pear blossoms fell like rain.
It seems that after a few years, Zuibai Garden becomes more and more in decline.
The man is sitting in the pavilion and concentrating on making a lantern.
The lantern skeleton is made of twigs taken from Liu Sheng's body, polished and bent, then pasted with cut rice paper, and then carefully painted with flower and bird patterns on it, and finally inscribed with words.
The next lantern is painted with a picture of a lady.
He painted each lantern extremely carefully and wrote the inscriptions with all his strength, as if he wanted to show all his talents to the world through this small lantern.
The man's face has more wrinkles than last time, his clothes are full of bad patches, his fingers are not as delicate as before, his skin is dark and rough, and there are many tiny slits on his hands in order to tie the frame. of wounds.
Finally, he wrote many notes, mumbling something to each of them.
"Riddle: A family of five, planting a tree next to it, guess!"
"Hahaha, you can't guess it? It's 'Wu'!"
Talking to myself He looked very excited.
Finally, he went out with satisfaction, taking the lantern with the puzzle paper on it.
In the middle of the night, he came back covered in blood and footprints, holding the last lantern with a collapsed skeleton, and lying hunched on the ground under Liu Sheng.
He kept mumbling to himself: "Is my lantern ugly? Not ugly at all, not ugly at all... These villains have no eyes but no eyes..."
His tears flowed down the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. .
Liu Sheng could not do anything.
The man lay on the ground for a day and a night. When he woke up again, he was much weaker, but there seemed to be something more in his eyes.
Later, Liu Sheng watched helplessly as the man's lantern became more and more strange.
At first, I drew some horrific and bloody human tragedies on the lanterns.
Later, they were made directly from dark red paper, but not in the shape of festive red lanterns, but in the shape of red dolls, coffins, hands... or made into twisted shapes, such as a turtle holding something in its mouth. Hands, eyeless doll, back A rabbit with a human head...
The man was getting more and more crazy. His hair was messy, greasy and knotted, completely covering his face full of wrinkles and dirt, and his clothes No more patches, it's in tatters.
Always talking to myself while making lanterns and laughing weirdly.
The entire garden was filled with all kinds of lanterns, and there was almost no place to stay.
After that, it is a cold late spring season.
Liu Sheng's pear blossoms fell on the snow, covering the lifeless man with a thick layer, surrounded by those ugly and terrifying lanterns...

[Influence level: B]
[Analysis and evaluation: Everything originated from a poor scholar named Zhang Hengyuan... He was really poor...]
[ Points earned: 3 (currently 7)]
[Analysis reward: Zhang Hengyuan’s customized lantern]
[Number of high-dimensional analysis: -1 (0 remaining times)]
That man must be the very poor Zhang Hengyuan.
This time maybe because Liu Sheng turned into a pear tree, she didn't take any action.
But she didn’t need to take any action to complete the high-dimensional analysis.
Maybe Li Shu’s thoughts are really simple.
It just looked at Zhang Hengyuan and felt sad for him, that's all.
But under the influence of the evil spirit, it slowly grew into a B-class evil creature, which eventually killed many people.
According to this effect, there is enough evil spirit in this place. Her evil energy detector has warned frantically that it has exhausted its energy. Couldn’t the evil spirit continue forever?
Coupled with the fact that there are so many creatures in its body, once it is devoured, this monster can expand to unimaginable proportions.
So its energy source must first be broken.
This also coincides with Liu Sheng's goal of saving people.
And according to the analytical description, in fact, its body has no other means. The part of the illusion scene has been passed by Liu Sheng with "wisdom". At this point, only physical attacks should be left.
After confirming that there are no other pitfalls, Liu Sheng can think about how to take action.
In addition, Liu Sheng has another lantern in his hand, which is the so-called analysis reward.
But he looks very normal.
It is an ordinary four-cornered lantern, with a few freehand strokes on the top to depict a pear tree with pavilions and canopies, and a few strokes on the bottom to outline pavilions, ponds and pavilions.
The inscription goes: Two words for fame and fame, a pool of white pear blossoms.
Whether it is painting or calligraphy, according to Liu Sheng's opinion, it should be at the master level.
Originally, Liu Sheng thought that based on what he saw and heard along the way, "Zhang Hengyuan's private customization" should have the appearance of lacking in aesthetics.
Liu Sheng analyzed the lantern again.
[Name: Zhang Hengyuan’s custom-made lantern]
[Analysis completion: 100%]
[Effect description: activated with cunning energy, the light can cause The flowering plant is heartbroken. 】
[Influence level: D]
[Analysis and evaluation: Liangshihua sheds tears (emphasis, reference is not plagiarism)]
It is indeed "Zhang Hengyuan's private customization"!
It’s just the right time to give me a pillow if I feel sleepy!
But this is the first time Liu Sheng has seen an item activated by evil spirit.
This should be called a "trick weapon", right?
Just as Liu Sheng was thinking about how to activate the cunning energy, the little tentacle reluctantly put down all the lanterns on its tentacles, took this lantern and raised it high.
The lantern instantly lit up with cold light, shining all around.
So this is still possible?
"Mom" is really awesome!
Liu Sheng no longer hesitated and walked forward quietly.
At this time, everything was still calm, and the pear blossoms were still fluttering.
