I wish you two lifetimes

(Same as today, two chapters in one)

Speaking of which, the owner of this face was also the one who pushed Liu Chupei into the abyss.

She was the little maid who imitated Liu Chupei's voice when Liu Ziye violated Liu Chupei!

But the two of them hadn't met at all after that, why did that court lady end up in Liu Chupei's tomb?
Gu Yanran frowned, the matter seemed to be in a dead end, and there was no way out.

Gu Yanran originally wanted to make a phone call with Wen Yanzhi, but it was already early in the morning, so she thought about it and gave up.

She lay on the bed, thinking about it.

That court lady is someone close to Liu Chuyu, so this matter should have something to do with her.But Liu Chuyu didn't know the secret of that tomb, so how could she bury that court lady in Liu Chupei's tomb, it doesn't make sense.

Wang Ying might know, but why did he put another corpse?
Gu Yanran's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't figure it out.Coupled with the fact that the alcohol has not completely subsided, she finally fell asleep in a daze...

……

When she woke up again, it was already noon on the second day, she hurriedly got up, washed up and went downstairs.

Sitting downstairs was a familiar yet unexpected person.

"In other words, why are you here?" Gu Yanran was surprised, she was planning to contact him later.

"I want to take you somewhere."

"Have you seen my grandfather and the others?" Gu Yanran looked around and found that there was no one else besides him.

Wen Yanzhi shook his head, "No, your grandfather and Mr. Fu have gone out."

"Where are you taking me?"

"You'll know when you go." Wen Yanzhi's face was a little dark, and Gu Yanran felt that something should happen again.

She didn't dare to ask more, went upstairs and changed clothes, got into Wen Yanzhi's car with bread in her mouth, and seeing that the road ahead became more and more familiar, Gu Yanran looked at Wen Yanzhi suspiciously, "Why? Came to your Wen family's old house?"

Wen Yanzhi stopped the car slowly, "Do you still remember that old tree?"

Gu Yanran nodded, "Liu Chaosong."

"Yeah." Wen Yanzhi's eyes showed a trace of irritability, "It's dead."

"What?" Gu Yanran's heart sank suddenly, "Dead?"

It's okay to say anything else, but it's not a good thing for this ancient tree to die. It lived for more than 1000 years, and then died suddenly... In her opinion, this must indicate something.

What's more, for a big family like the Wen family, the Six Dynasties pine in the old house can herald the prosperity and decline of the family. Once this ancient tree dies, then...

A feeling of uneasiness suddenly rose in her heart.

Gu Yanran followed Wen Yan out of the car, opened the door, and ran in. When she reached the inner courtyard, she was stunned.

The original big tree now has only a hollow trunk, with dead leaves all over the ground, indicating its death.

"When did this happen?"

"I just found out this morning, but I don't know when it died."

Gu Yanran felt a little uncomfortable after seeing this tree. She didn't know if it was an illusion. She felt as if her spirit had been stripped from her whole body, and something was slowly passing away from her body.

Gu Yanran took a deep breath, "Is it still alive?"

Wen Yanzhi shook his head, "Even if it's saved, it won't last a week."

She asked cautiously, "Do... do your family members know?"

Wen Yanzhi shook his head again, "It's not appropriate to tell them about this, it won't be too late after I find out the reason."

Gu Yanran stepped forward, knelt down and carefully inspected the details of the Liuchao pine branches, she picked up a wooden stick, and dug a few times in the soil, a part of the roots were slightly exposed.

Gu Yanran's eyes lit up, "Look, the roots of the tree haven't died yet, and the tree may still be saved."

Wen Yanzhi shook his head, "I've seen it a long time ago. The root of the tree is not dead, but the top is already dead. It cannot be saved."

Gu Yanran stared blankly at the tree roots in front of him, lost in thought.

"Since it can't be saved, let's dig it up." Wen Yanzhi's voice was devoid of emotion.

"What?" Gu Yanran turned his head in surprise, "Did you dig it?"

"Didn't you want to dig before?" Wen Yanzhi walked over, "Now you can dig."

"I was looking for something at the time, but now I have found it, haven't I?" Gu Yanran refused a little. Since the hairpin has returned, she is sure that this is Liu Chupei's princess mansion, so there is no need to dig any further.

"I remember you said that this used to be the Princess Mansion."

Gu Yanran nodded.

"Is this tree still there?"

Gu Yanran shook his head, "It didn't exist when we moved in, but it was planted by Wang...you later."

"Then do you remember why you planted this tree?"

Gu Yanran was taken aback, why did she plant this tree... She really didn't seem to have thought about this question.

"But... maybe it's beautiful..." Gu Yanran said without confidence, "Maybe this tree is auspicious."

"This tree can live for more than 1000 years." Standing under the tree, Wen Yanzhi raised his head and looked at the sun covered by the horizontal tree above his head, full of thoughts.

Gu Yanran didn't understand what he meant, "So what? People can't live for 1000 years."

"Maybe there is some secret that needs to be covered up for 1000 years." Wen Yanzhi looked down at Gu Yanran, "Although I haven't remembered it yet, I can vaguely feel that there must be some secret hidden here."

Gu Yanran didn't doubt what Wen Yanzhi said at all. He was Wang Ying. Even if he didn't have Wang Ying's memory, he felt that such things would not lie.

"You mean... there's something under the tree?" Gu Yanran looked at the root of the tree suspiciously, "Impossible, I was there when the tree was planted, except for putting a brocade box in it, nothing else."

"Try it and you'll know." Wen Yanzhi took out two old shovels from the back room next to him.

"Dig directly?" Gu Yanran looked at the tools in his hands uncertainly.

"En." Wen Yanzhi pointed to the place next to him, "Just dig up the loose soil, and I'll come inside."

"Don't you need to find someone to help?" Gu Yanran looked at Liu Chaosong, who was already withered, but still much taller than her, and was a little entangled.

"Are you sure?" Wen Yanzhi smiled at her.

"Forget it, I'll dig the soil of my own house myself." There might be something really underground here, so of course outsiders can't be allowed to come here.

The two of them kept digging the ground, until the dead wood fell to the ground with a "boom", and Gu Yanran breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period, both Xu Yichen and Fu Shi called, but she fooled them all.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Seeing Wen Yanzhi squatting down to check the soil, Gu Yanran poked his head in doubt.

"Dig again."

"Ah?" Gu Yanran exhaled, "It's over!"

"No, the soil below is looser than above, so there should be something below."

Gu Yanran followed Wen Yanzhi dubiously and dug down the soil in front of him again.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Yanzhi could clearly feel that the shovel had touched something hard, so he stopped his movements and gently brushed off the soil with his hands.

After a while, a blue-black stone slab appeared in front of him, Gu Yanran was startled, "There really is something?"

She stepped forward to help Wen Yanzhi clean up the soil next to him, and a stone slab that was one meter long and half a meter wide finally appeared clearly, "There are words on it!"

Gu Yanran wiped the dust on it, looked at the deep and shallow scratches, turned to look at Wen Yanzhi, "What is this? Can you understand it?"

"It's in Sanskrit." Wen Yanzhi glanced at it, took out his phone and took a picture, "I'll ask someone to translate it for me. Before that, don't touch it."

Sanskrit?Gu Yanran lowered his head in thought, Sanskrit is a kind of ancient Indian language, mostly used by Buddhists, why is there this here?

It has to be said that the people around Wen Yanzhi are not simple, and it only took a while to translate it over there.

"The eye of reincarnation?" Gu Yanran was puzzled.

"Buddhism believes in the cause and effect of the three generations and the cycle of the six realms. It is not surprising to have this."

"But it's strange that it appears here." Gu Yanran immediately retorted, "This used to be my princess mansion."

"Is it strange?" Wen Yanzhi approached her slowly, "How to explain our matter?"

"You mean... we entered reincarnation because of this?"

"It's not certain yet, but the matter of reincarnation has been confirmed to exist, isn't it? One person's memory may be just a fantasy, two people may be a coincidence, but three people are not..."

She understands the truth in Wen Yanzhi's words, that is to say... is this the reason for her rebirth?
Gu Yanran lightly stroked the stone slab on the ground, and she tried to lift it up, but with all her strength, the stone slab showed no sign of being moved.

"Don't touch it." Wen Yanzhi separated her displeasedly, "When will you change your fearless temperament, you don't know what's going on underneath, and you just mess around there?"

"Isn't there still you?" Gu Yanran smiled.

Wen Yanzhi had no choice but stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the stone slab. Just as he was about to lift the slate, his hand suddenly became cold, and a cold chill penetrated his fingers and pierced straight on his arm. There was a momentary vacancy in his mind, too.

There seemed to be sounds hitting his brain nerves from all directions, and then mixed and blended inside, gradually forming a clear picture:

"Wubei, how are things going?"

"Master, after deliberation, it is better to put it in the princess mansion. First, the master can check the situation at any time. Second, the Six Dynasties pine in the mansion has a long life. If it can live for more than 1000 years, the princess The possibility of reincarnation is even greater."

"That's right..." Wang Ying looked at the tree in front of her, "What if it didn't live that long? What about my Ape?"

"Master, since Master Hui En said so, you should believe him. The body for the princess has been prepared by his subordinates. Now that Liu Chuyu is dead, no one will know the location of the tomb anymore. There won't be any problems in the first place, please rest assured, master, it's just..."

"But what?"

Wubei hesitated for a while, "Using a tree to nourish the soul requires blood essence. This move may be too dangerous. If the master makes another plan, the Liuchao pine must be him—"

"From now on, you will come to me every month on this day to get a bowl of blood." Wang Ying glanced at Wubei, turned and left.

After taking two steps, he stopped, and the softness in his eyes couldn't be ignored, "Wubei, don't lose the brocade box under the tree, leave it there for her, and she will be annoyed if she can't find it when she comes back later." me."

Wubei glanced at Wang Ying, his eyes were full of bitterness, "Yes—"

"Say it, say it!"

A voice called him back.

Before he could hide the sadness in his eyes, Gu Yanran noticed, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, this slate can't be opened, so forget it, let's go, let's go back first." Wen Yanzhi turned his head away, trying to avoid Gu Yanran's eyes.

Gu Yanran frowned, they spent so much effort digging it out, and finally found something new, but he suddenly said it back?

Something is wrong with Wen Yanzhi, there must be something hidden from her.

Gu Yanran smiled at Wen Yanzhi, "Then can you give me the key to the old house?"

Wen Yanzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, how could he not know what Gu Yanran was thinking, he slowly approached her, and said with a smile: "Give you the key? It's not impossible, generally speaking, I will give one to my family, huh? what do you think?"

Gu Yanran shyly pushed him away, snorted, turned and walked towards the door.

The moment her eyes turned around, her eyes suddenly darkened. How could she not know that Wen Yanzhi just teased her, but he was just covering himself up. Naturally, he couldn't give her the key.

He also began to have...a secret he didn't want to tell her...

Seeing Gu Yanran walking away, Wen Yanzhi turned around and glanced at the dead wood that fell on the ground.

Now he finally knows why the strange thing about the tree root sucking blood happened before. This tree should have sucked his blood for decades, and all of it has been cultivated into essence. Sensitive, after Gu Yanran's blood flowed out, he sucked it all up.

Although he has recovered part of his memory, he is not going to tell Gu Yanran about it.

"What are you still doing there, why don't you hurry up?" Gu Yanran's voice came from afar.

"Here we come." Wen Yanzhi let go of the melancholy in his heart, so what happened in the previous life, isn't Gu Yanran standing beside him well now, that's enough.

Gu Yanran, who was sitting in the car, remembered what he wanted to say to Wen Yanzhi, "I remember the person in that portrait, it's a little maid next to Liu Chuyu, how do you remember her appearance?"

This answer was beyond Wen Yanzhi's expectation. He thought it would be an important person, "I don't know. I dreamed of you many times at night. At first I couldn't see that face clearly, but then suddenly one day , the figure in the dream suddenly has a face, that's what it looks like. How much do you know?"

Gu Yanran shook his head, "I don't know many things. In other words, if you remember anything, you must tell me!"

"Okay." This time, Wen Yanzhi's confidence was not so strong. From the very beginning, he was ready to hide some things.

Wen Yanzhi let the flow take its course and changed the subject, "How does your grandfather plan to deal with the Gu family's affairs?"

Gu Yanran shook his head, "I don't know either. The strange thing is that since yesterday, my grandfather hasn't mentioned anything about the Gu family. Only Xu Yichen has asked me. What do you think my grandfather means?"

Before getting Wen Yanzhi's answer, Gu Yanran's thoughts were interrupted by the phone's sudden vibration.

Another text message from an unknown number on the phone:

'You are dying. '

Gu Yanran turned the phone over and put it back in her pocket, her face gradually darkened. Although she knew it was from Xu Jiayu and could completely ignore it, she still couldn't accept it after seeing it.

"What's wrong?" Wen Yanzhi naturally noticed the slight change in her.

"It's nothing, spam." Gu Yanran pretended not to care and smiled.

As soon as the voice fell, the phone started to vibrate again. Gu Yanran couldn't hold back, and took out the phone. The words on it hurt her eyes:
'You won't survive this winter. '

She gripped the phone tightly, her fingers turning white.

"Whose news?" This time, Wen Yanzhi's voice sank significantly.

"It's okay, spam text messages. They keep sending me text messages recently. It's very annoying." Gu Yanran turned her head out of the window, she didn't want Wen Yanzhi to find out about her abnormality.

From the corner of her eye, she sent a message back to that strange number:
'What exactly do you want? '

Then she turned the vibration of her mobile phone to silent, and after a while, the message came in again:

'Come find me at the entrance of tomb No. [-]. '

Gu Yanran then deleted all the chat records, put the phone in his pocket, and closed his eyes to hide his anxiety.

Why did Xu Jiayu keep sending her these contents these two days?Why did she go to tomb No. [-] twice?What is her intention?

"Xu Jiayu asked you to find her again?"

"No!" Gu Yanran, who was originally hiding his thoughts, didn't think carefully about his words at all, and subconsciously replied, when she realized that Wen Yanzhi was tricking her, she tried her best to cover it up, "No, it's not Xu Jiayu. "

Wen Yanzhi knew she was lying, but he didn't expose her, he just said: "Her words are not credible."

"I know……"

Gu Yanran took out his phone again, and there was a new message inside:

'how?You do not believe?Gu Yanran, I have a way to make you live past 20 years old. '

Gu Yanran felt that she had died once before, and she had already looked down on life and death, but in fact, she only now realized that she was still very cowardly in the face of death, not to mention, she now had a reason not to want to die.

20 years old... why is it 20 years old...

What Xu Jiayu said may not be true...but what if it is true?
Just when Gu Yanran was hesitating, the breathing light on the phone started to flicker, and another text message popped up:
'Don't you want to know what happened after you died?If you come, I can tell you. ' ———————————————————————————

The author has something to say: (These two chapters are combined into one, not because of any reason, but because I am a little lazy and don’t want to divide into two chapters, hahahahaha)

The puzzles have to be solved one by one. I didn’t realize until the end of the writing, why I buried so many holes before, I’m going to die, filling them up one by one is really... my head is split.
