Chapter 35 The Silent Bride

The corner lights of the display cabinet exude a soft warm yellow light, making the phoenix crown shine brightly.The golden dragon and the emerald phoenix are entangled with each other, with a pearl in the middle of the dragon's head, soaring above the wishful cloud head made of filigree, while the emerald green phoenix is ​​perched on the temples, with its tail feathers lightly spreading, as if it wants to fly.The entire phoenix crown is overlapped with golden threads and piled up with pearls and jade, but it does not appear heavy and deliberate, but ingenious and flexible everywhere.The superb skills of the craftsmen and the seriousness and intentions of the production can be seen.

It's just that the astonishing phoenix crown in the vacuum showcase somehow reveals a trace of inexplicable sadness.

Cheng Mo involuntarily stretched his hand towards the glass, but before he could touch it, a looming phantom suddenly appeared, lying between him and the showcase.Cheng Mo raised his head and couldn't help being stunned.

It was a very young girl, she looked like she was about 1 years old, but she showed her adult beauty early on.His eyes are like stars, his eyebrows are like black daisy in distant mountains, his eyes are moving around, and a cinnabar mole in the corner of his eyes is as red as blood.This girl has a beautiful appearance, but there is always a faint sadness between her brows, her black and willow eyebrows are slightly frowned, she doesn't make a sound, she just looks at Cheng Mo sadly, she wants to speak, but she doesn't know how to do so.

What is strange is that this girl is dressed in bright red satin, but it doesn't look like a coat, and the fabric is not high-quality, but what she wears on her head is clearly the exquisite phoenix crown in the showcase!It's just that on her body, the phoenix crown is just a light phantom.

"Here, it's this poor little girl." Red Carp raised his chin towards the girl, shrugged his shoulders with a look of confusion on his face, "I didn't say anything when I asked her, she pretended to fight and didn't know how to hide, she just knew that she was by the side of the phoenix crown." Watching, I don't know what I'm waiting for. It's obvious that she has already put on the phoenix crown."

The girl seemed to understand her words, and her eyes were even more mournful, she just turned her head to look at the phoenix crown in the showcase, and reached out to caress the golden dragon holding the pearl.Of course she couldn't really touch the phoenix crown's body, as soon as her fingers touched the surface, they emptied through it, but she didn't give up, stroking it over and over again, but her expression became more and more like she was about to cry.

"Hey, I have a wish but I don't want to say it. I'm just guessing. Who can guess it?"She has a bad temper, but when she met such a weak girl, she couldn't beat her and she was reluctant to scold her, her pretty face wrinkled into a ball, and she burst out with foul language, "I'm most afraid of this kind of girl whose life is thinner than paper. She looks like someone owed her her whole life, isn't it that we're here to avenge her, and we don't make good use of the opportunity."

"It's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't." Qin Chuhe said suddenly. He just stared at the girl for a long time in silence, as if he understood something, he turned his gaze back and said calmly, "She is dumb."

The red carp fell silent as if someone had grabbed its throat.

And Cheng Mo also made a new discovery. He took a closer look at the girl's inappropriate attire, and said:

"Did you find her clothes a bit strange? Wearing a phoenix crown, it means that she is going to be married, but the girl is wearing a red satin, but it is clearly an inner garment. Here, where is Ke Xiapei?"

As soon as he said this, several people fell silent. Only the girl heard the word "Xiapei", her eyes lit up suddenly, and she rushed to Cheng Mo, but she was half a meter away from him. She stopped early, as if she was afraid of scaring him, and after a long while, she carefully touched the corner of his clothes, pointed to the phoenix crown on her head, pointed to the clothes, and nodded sadly at him.

"No mistake, her wish is for us to help her find Xiapei." The girl's actions are enough to show that Cheng Mo's guess hit the bull's-eye. Qin Chuhe glanced at the red carp and the green carp, "Keywords are blocked, you don't take the initiative to say' For the key word "Xiapei", she has no way to give you hints. This strategy is not uncommon in high-level dungeons, right? How could I forget it."

His tone was indifferent, without the slightest hint of blame, but the red carp and the green carp still blushed, looking like a primary school student who made a low-level mistake and was caught by the teacher.Only the unburdened donkey yawned lazily in the arms of the green carp, and flicked its big fluffy tail.

"Now I have to find a way to find a complete set of Xiapei." Cheng Mo thought for a while, and decided to start with the source of the phoenix coronet—theoretically speaking, the phoenix crown and Xiapei usually appear in a set. If you know the source of the phoenix crown, you can make a preliminary estimate of the location of the Xiapei. judge.He asked Red Carp, "Do you know where the phoenix crown was obtained? Generally speaking, museum collections are either obtained through auctions or private donations. There should be written records of both ways. "

"It was donated by a British guy." Green Carp said abruptly, as if remembering something bad, his expression became even worse, "You know that only a small part of the cultural relics in this museum are obtained through legal means, more All of them were looted by the British from all over the world, or snatched by force. We investigated the donor, who was an elderly man who was knighted by the Queen for his heroic performance in battle. 'Friendly purchase' from a family when our country was at war."

Speaking of this, Green Carp sneered disdainfully, with a disgusting expression: "Can you imagine? What kind of scene is the 'friendly purchase' he said. In the eyes of these white guys, we are just a bunch of scum , miscellaneous, and ants that can be easily crushed to death, 'friendly purchase'? I'm going to laugh at the grandeur in his tone, and the red carp didn't let me kill him with a hammer."

"So he only saw Fengguan and not Xiapei?" Cheng Mo asked.According to their principle of sweeping them all, if Xiapei was still in that family at that time, he would definitely have taken it as his own.

"Yes, he said that he didn't know there was such a thing as Xiapei." The red carp nodded, she looked much calmer than the hostile green carp, "and according to our understanding, he has collected this phoenix crown for several years. It's been a long time, and there was no plan to donate it to the museum before. But then something happened, so he had to reluctantly give up."

Cheng Mo looked at the silent girl in the void, saw a sly smile flashing past her sad eyebrows, and suddenly understood something: "Haunted?"

"Yes, it's haunted, it should be caused by this poor little boy." Red Carp found a bubble gum out of nowhere, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, and said vaguely, "The old Viscount likes this thing so much, The phoenix crown was originally kept in the collection room of his house, and special personnel were arranged to guard it every day. About three months ago, a caretaker suddenly went crazy, saying that he saw a "ghost of a Chinese woman" at night, and his face was pale. Yes, covered in blood, squatting next to this phoenix crown."

"At first, the old man didn't take it seriously. After all, Fengguan has been in his place for many years. It is impossible to say that it is haunted. He temporarily replaced a wave of guards, and arranged from one person on duty every night to two groups. If something goes wrong, you don’t have to just listen to the family. Unexpectedly, the guards on duty for several days in a row said that they saw a ghost, and the descriptions were the same. They all said that it was a Chinese woman covered in blood next to the phoenix crown, sometimes squatting, sometimes Standing. The guards had never seen this battle before. They were so frightened that they almost lost their minds. No matter how much money they gave, they would not guard the collection room for the old man. The situation became more and more serious, and even the maid at home said that she saw it in the middle of the night. A red ghost, floating around the house."

"The old man's sons and daughters are religious believers. I persuaded him to return the phoenix crown to China, but he refused. Until one day he got up at night to go to the bathroom by himself, and had a face-to-face with a 'ghost'." Red Carp laughed "puchi" When he came out, he looked at the girl with more warmth, "I'm a little bit in love with this little cutie, and I don't know where she came up with, to hide in the bathroom covered in blood to scare the old man."

The girl understood Red Carp's words, pursed her lips, and a fleeting smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.She looked very pretty when she smiled, like a tree of peach blossoms were in full bloom.

The girl stretched out her hand to her side, compared to a figure about the same size as herself, and stopped the figure at the back, indicating that it was a girl with long hair reaching her waist.She made a bloody gesture on the girl, dipped her hand in the nothingness of blood, and drew on her face, then smiled shyly and lowered her head.

"I met a good friend who borrowed your blood..." Cheng Mo smiled, seeing the girl finally becoming more lively, suddenly feeling sad for some reason.

A girl who was waiting for the bridegroom full of joy, who was so cruel that she stopped her life on this day of wearing a wedding dress?What happened to her that made her obsessed with this gorgeous phoenix crown that didn't match her identity, and traveled across the ocean together to come to this end of the world thousands of miles away from her homeland?

"Hey, anyway, the last family was confused by her, and the old man himself almost had a nervous breakdown. In the end, he really had no choice but to donate it to the museum because he didn't want to return it to us." There was also a touch of sarcasm in the middle, "It's amazing, I would rather donate it to the museum than return it to the original owner. Think about it, too, the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields."

Cheng Mo suddenly noticed something strange in what Red Carp said just now.

"Wait a minute, you just mentioned that this Fengguan has been in the viscount's house for a long time before, and nothing happened, right?"

"That's right, the old man said that it was only a few months ago that he suddenly started making trouble... huh?" Red Carp's eyes widened suddenly, and he understood Cheng Mo's meaning, "It's been fine before, why did it suddenly become like this?"

"I also want to know about this." Cheng Mo nodded, looked at the girl floating in the void, and said to himself, "I think there should be some opportunity, for example..."

"For example, Xiapei appeared nearby." Qin Chuhe picked up his words.

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud sound of an object exploding across a large atrium from where they were located.
