India

This mysterious farce finally ended calmly. Although Mo Nan in the center of the storm didn't know what was going on, he spent the night peacefully, so he left with the wave. Ji Guiran didn't kill him, and even used his eyes nothing.

In the blink of an eye, the next morning came, Mo Nan woke up on time, and as expected, Xian Ji Guiran stepped out of sleep again.

The bright sunlight in the morning penetrated through the gaps in the house, making the interior extraordinarily bright.He looked at the bright surroundings, and said that the day's plan is in the morning, and he immediately thought of the still missing seal snake and the key associated with it, and felt that he could no longer stay on the bed.

Regardless of whether it would trigger Ji Guiran's waking up, he raised his hand and tapped him on the back facing him. After knocking a few times without getting a response, he shook his arm instead, but Ji Guiran remained motionless.

Mo Nan suspected that the man was pretending to be asleep, so he leaned up and leaned over, looking down at Ji Guiran's sleeping face, he didn't bother to judge whether it was real or not, so he slapped his face directly.

Sure enough, within a short while, Ji Guiran suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him.

"..." Mo Nan was almost frightened by his sharp eyes, and couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Can you stop living like you crawled out of a mass grave?"

"Can you stop every day?" he countered harshly.

"Tch, I kindly told you to wake up..." Mo Nan curled his lips.

"Ah."

Ji Guiran didn't pay attention to him anymore, the drowsiness was almost driven away by Mo Nan, he propped himself up and sat up from the bed, lowered his eyes, and used his thoughts to dissipate the last sleepiness.

Mo Nan stared at his deep green eyes, and asked suspiciously: "I've been curious for a long time, and I don't know whether to ask it or not... Well, why are your pupils green?"

"Who knows." Ji Guiran didn't take it seriously, slandering you, didn't you already ask.

"intrinsic?"

"impossible."

"How did that come about?"

"They all said they didn't know." Ji Guiran was a little impatient, and didn't want to get tangled up in this boring question with him.

"You lied, you must know." Mo Nan knew that he didn't want to say more, but he still persisted.He simply used himself as a metaphor, rolled up a bunch of hair, and explained with relish: "My hair color used to be a little darker, and so did my eyes, but as it grew, it became lighter. Look at me. Are the pupils brownish?"

Ji Guiran looked at him for a moment, and said casually, "I see that your skin has also become much lighter."

"??" Hearing this, Mo Nan rolled up his sleeves in disbelief and began to observe.

Ji Guiran next to him chuckled when he saw this, leaving Mo Nan alone in trouble, and got out of bed by himself.

Mo Nan looked at his complexion for a while, but he didn't find anything unusual. He was just about to ask Ji Guiran what he meant, when he raised his eyes and saw him standing beside the bed with a playful look. Looking at himself, suddenly realized.

"You called me superficial?!" He said angrily.

Ji Guiran smiled, "Isn't it true?"

"Fuck you!" Mo Nan's anger rose from his heart, and his evil turned into courage. He threw himself on Ji Guiran with all his strength, and opened his mouth to bite him hard on the shoulder.

Ji Guiran was caught off guard by the attack, and the bitten flesh on his shoulder was aching. It could be seen that Mo Nan had exerted force. He warned in a deep voice, "Let go."

Mo Nan clung to him with all four limbs, putting his whole body weight on him. He reckoned that Ji Guiran shouldn't be struggling, so he clung to him and refused to get off. He even entangled him even tighter, and switched his head to his other side. On the shoulder, he opened his mouth again to bite down.

Ji Guiran didn't let him succeed, he picked him up and threw him aside, and said with disgust, "Are you a dog?"

"Whether you belong or not, I will kill you, bah." Mo Nan spat.

The two couldn't help arguing, scolded each other for a while, and then went out angrily. The only feeling in their hearts was that today was really bad luck.

However, luck does not affect the itinerary, and the passing days are still passing away, as if no matter how displeased they are with each other, they still have to obediently cooperate with each other.

"What are you doing today? Continue to check the yard?" Mo Nan asked, "Why do I feel so inefficient..."

"Then you come up with an efficient way."

"Aren't I unable to figure it out? If you have the ability, you can think about it."

"That's right, when you catch the seal snake, you can go back to live for the rest of your life." Ji Guiran taunted mercilessly.

"You..." The anger being ridiculed was not enough, "Can you focus on the last sentence?"

"Then can you stop talking nonsense?"

"Oh..." Ji Tianze, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, couldn't help but said, "I know you guys are in a good relationship today, next." Then he received angry and suspicious looks from the two of them, and Ji Tianze had no choice but to stop teasing.

"Forget it, the quarrel is not over yet." Mo Nan rolled his eyes at Ji Guiran for the last time, "Why don't you go and get down to business by yourself."

"That's exactly what I mean." Ji Guiran gave him a disdainful sideways glance.

"Remember, don't follow me." Mo Nan left without saying a word, and walked straight to the side.

Ji Guiran was too lazy to continue talking to him, and walked away in the opposite direction.

"..." Only a certain onlooker stayed where he was in embarrassment. Ji Tianze looked at the backs of the two of them leaving, and wondered who he should go with. Let the three of them spread out, so as not to stay together and cause confusion.

So Ji Tianze compromised on the direction, shrugged and walked helplessly.

After Mo Nan walked away, his anger subsided before he gradually became dazed. He stared at the small courtyard in a daze, thinking about what to do next.

He felt that searching like this was really meaningless. It would take time and not necessarily find it. After such a long time, let alone the key, there was not even a clue to connect it. But if he didn't do this, he didn't know where to start.

Mo Nansi thought about it, but he didn't come up with anything useful. He wandered around along the way, and after a few laps, he walked into the study again.

The hidden iron door in the study is the root of all cause and effect, and there must be some crucial mystery that has been overlooked.Mo Nan's eyes unconsciously fell on the picture scroll in the corner again.

He pondered over the missing clues in his mind, and stepped forward to lift the picture scroll. He stared at the closed iron door. The dark door was more clear under the daylight, perhaps because it had a sense of mystery. The unpredictable aura actually gave people a very dark feeling in broad daylight. To Mo Nan, it was not terror, but a strong desire for knowledge spontaneously.

According to what Ji Tianze said, behind the iron gate is his home, the hometown where he lived before he came.At first glance, this statement seems to be teasing others. As long as ordinary people hear it, most of them will just laugh and listen to it as a joke.As for Mo Nan, thinking of Ji Tianze's extremely sincere expression when he spoke, he couldn't bear to take him as a joke, so it's not that Mo Nan didn't believe him, at least the matter of opening the door must be very important to him.

Of course, this matter is also very important to Mo Nan. First, he really can't stand that bitch Ji Guiran, and second, he wants to go home.He missed that smiling father, his serious mother, his two younger brothers who didn't dare to go west, and a house full of servants who worked hard to serve him... Shameless people, on such a day, just comparing them would bring tears to their eyes.

go home, go home.The growing desire to go home filled his mind, he patted his face with both hands, and turned his attention back to the iron gate in front of him.

Mo Nan stared straight at the chiseled gap above, and tried hard to describe the shape of the key in his mind. Although he didn't know the meaning of thinking about it, he was helpless at the moment, and it was always right to drill a few more ways.

Why don't you just pry it open with something thinner.

Mo Nan suddenly thought of such a ghostly idea, the housekeeping skill of a thief to pick a lock appeared in his mind, and he secretly thought that he was simply too witty.

He rummaged through the study room like a thief, and after a while, he found a lot of things that he thought were relatively small. He tried to stuff them into the hole one by one, and discarded the ones that couldn't get in, and stuffed them in. Just a few times of fiddling, coupled with that serious demeanor, it has a good appearance, as if I can really open it.

However, in fact, he worked for a long time, and got nothing except sweating profusely. He angrily smashed the last object on the hole, and said that this thing is inhuman.

Mo Nan's face was sullen, and the hand holding the painting was a little sore. He put it down and rubbed his wrist. While resting, his eyes were casually placed on the landscape painting. The painting was still the same painting. Houses and people.

He stared at the lifelike villain above, and praised He Jing's skillful painting in his heart. With just a few strokes, he clearly outlined the shape of the figure, and even depicted the features of the figure.

Wait... Features?

Mo Nan moved closer to the painting, and looked at the little people next to the bottom house in disbelief. He always felt that the features on them were familiar. After looking back for a while, the feeling of familiarity became stronger in his heart. Just can't remember who it was.

He tried his best to search the memory in his brain, squatted down to observe, his face was almost pasted on the painting, he could see that the two villains were a man and a woman, and they had a close and harmonious relationship, just like a husband and wife.

Speaking of husband and wife, he looked at the woman's attire, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and his mind suddenly opened.

Isn't this painting He Jing and Yun Shuangyue?

After a brief surprise, Mo Nan calmed down.He thought that since this was the residence of the two of them, it would not be surprising that a painting like He Jinghua hung here, but he seemed too surprised.

He Jing and Yun Shuangyue in the picture seem to be traveling, and the scene frozen in the painting is that the two of them are standing next to a house, facing the owner of the house, as if asking for something.

Are you asking for directions?

The more Mo Nan looked, the more he felt the same. Substituting this imagination to observe, when the two of them were traveling, they lost their way in the mountains. The owner of the house heard their questions and generously pointed them in the direction of the road. The owner's hand pointed to one side, Going along the direction is Huayan.

Maybe I'll find my way later.Mo Nan thought.

He remembered that there were also a few villains painted in the center of the painting, so he stood up and looked in the middle, and was taken aback when he saw it clearly.

He Jing and Yun Shuangyue are still in the painting, and the scene depicted at the bottom is the same. They are still asking about something, and even the appearance of the house in front of them and its owner has not changed.Mo Nan repeatedly compared the two places and confirmed that they were exactly the same.

How is this going?Searched around and came back?

Mo Nan was full of doubts, not knowing what was wrong.Then he looked at the height of the picture scroll, and as expected, there was still the same picture, the same two people, the same room, and the same guide.

It's an endless loop.Mo Nan didn't understand the details of landscape painting, and he didn't understand He Jing's intention in making this painting. He said that the painting contained the artist's thoughts and feelings, but he really couldn't figure out what He Jing wanted to express.Could it be that Yun Shuangyue did it after his death, and he hoped that the two of them would be reincarnated here for a long time? ...

Mo Nan thought about it messily, but he couldn't come to a reliable conclusion in the end. He shook his head, and decided not to be serious with this painting. How could a young master like him, who is idle all day long, be able to study the painter's mind.

He had had enough rest, hesitated about what to do, raised his hand holding the painting, not sure whether to open it or leave.His gaze was on the high part of the painting, even though he convinced himself that he would not care about the painting anymore, it still kept attracting his attention, as if it was constantly reminding that there was still a mystery hidden in the painting.

Weird feeling.

Mo Nan didn't leave in a hurry, but continued to look at this spiritual landscape painting.

He scanned the screen back and forth from top to bottom, and compared it carefully. Suddenly, he felt that the scene at the top seemed a little different.

It was at the top of the painting, a bit taller than his height. Mo Nan had to stand on tiptoe to observe. He stretched his neck and face close to the painting, so he could barely see the details.

The scene there is really different. At first glance, there is actually no difference. After getting closer, I found something suspicious.In the painting, Yun Shuangyue was quietly following behind He Jing, but now she seemed to be gently grabbing the corner of He Jing's clothes, and He Jing also turned his head slightly to look at her suspiciously, and the master beside him was still there. Pointing in the same direction, Yun Shuangyue seemed unwilling to believe his lies anymore, quietly stretched out her hand and pointed to the other side.

Their positions are on the right side of the painting, so the direction Yun Shuangyue points to is not far from the scroll on the edge.

What does it mean?The doubts in Mo Nan's heart were even worse. At the same time, all the known things seemed to be mixed together, chaotically chattering in his mind.

Strange symbols, circular biting snakes, keys in the center, never-ending loops, clues to guide... clues to keys? ...the key in the loop? ...

...This may be a breakthrough!

Mo Nan looked at the direction indicated by Yun Shuangyue in the painting with bright eyes. After thinking for a while, he turned and ran out the door without much hesitation.

There were walls in that direction, and he ran out of the gate without hesitation, almost tripping over the threshold in a hurry, but Mo Nan didn't care, he staggered a few times and went out the door.

Not far from the door, Ji Guiran frowned and watched Mo Nan rushing out the door, as if rushing to reincarnate, he couldn't help but wonder why he was crazy, and then he murmured disdainfully, not bothering to care about him.

Mo Nan didn't feel the disdain from behind him, he was busy looking in that direction outside, and after finding it almost accurately, he threw himself on the ground and began to search inch by inch.

I don't know how long he searched, but Mo Nan felt that he had gone through the gaps on both sides of the road, not to mention the things he was looking for, and he didn't even find the ants that could only crawl.He kicked away the last pile of rubble, still nothing.

Is it in someone else's home?Mo Nan suddenly had a guess.

He lingered at the door of the next room for a long time, but in the end he was too embarrassed to go in. He had no choice but to withdraw his thoughts. He was too anxious to go out. There must be some missing clues. Let's go back to the study and have a look.

Ji Guiran in the house saw Mo Nan going out aggressively, and then came back in a disheveled state after a while, feeling even more puzzled in his heart, he suppressed the urge to follow and take a look.

Mo Nan didn't notice his gaze at all. He moved to the scroll again. His old foot hurt a little. He didn't want to stand on tiptoe to observe. Fortunately, there was a low stool in the corner of the study. Unsteady, but still barely able to stand on his feet, he just pulled the stool over and stood on it.

With the feet of the stool, it is much easier than standing on tiptoe, and the picture is also clear.He looked intently at the two people in the painting, Yun Shuangyue was still holding the corner of He Jing's clothes, pointing to the other side of the painting, and he did not find the wrong direction Yun Shuangyue was pointing at, so why was there no gain?

Mo Nan decided that this was a place that couldn't be ignored. He tried to touch the screen with his fingers and stroked along that direction. This was an unconscious movement, but Mo Nan stopped when he touched the scroll.

It was just a subtle feeling, he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something inside.

He immediately put his hand on it, and through the silk cloth on the outer layer of the scroll, he felt the outline of a hard object protruding from it.

Mo Nan was shocked for a moment, as if some thought was breaking through the ground in his mind, he tore the cloth vigorously, but the strong silk cloth at the edge was not torn, so he had to get off the low stool in a hurry, trying to find something sharp Unexpectedly, he was too excited and the stool was not firm, so he slipped and fell straight on the ground. The stool and his body fell to the ground with a bang.

"It hurts!" Mo Nan rubbed his butt that hurt from the fall, thankful that the center of gravity was not on his feet when he landed, otherwise his feet would be crippled again.

After he wailed a few times, he was about to struggle to get up from the ground when he saw a ghostly figure in front of him, which made him paralyzed with another leg limp in fright.

"You!" Mo Nan looked at the lingering Ji Guiran in front of him after the horror, and wanted to yell a few words, but just as the words came to his lips, he swallowed them weakly.

Forget it, I'm tired, I can't move anymore.Mo Nan had a look of lovelessness.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ji Guiran raised his eyebrows to look at him, the contempt in his eyes was full.

After being reminded by him, Mo Nan remembered what he was about to do just now. It happened that Ji Guiran was here. It was the first time he was so glad that he appeared in front of him, saving himself the effort to find things.

"You," he bossed Ji Guiran, "go and tear up the scroll on top of that scroll."

Ji Guiran was very displeased with the attitude of this man instigating him, and was about to reject it flatly, but when he heard what Mo Nan said behind him, he became a little puzzled, and remained silent for a while, thinking about what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd .

"What are you doing in a daze, go quickly." Mo Nan didn't rush to get up, changed to a cross-legged posture on the ground, and urged with his hands on his face.

Then he received a blank stare from Ji Guiran, who gave him a sideways glance and didn't want to argue with him, so he went straight up and tore off the picture scroll on the wall.

"Here?" He asked without waiting for Mo Nan's answer. He held one side of the scroll with one hand, and pulled the silk cloth extending from it with the other. His knuckles were slightly white, and the cloth peeled off with a little force. The ground was torn into two.

"Ouch!"

Because of this sudden force, the thing hidden in the scroll suddenly jumped out, first hit Mo Nan's face directly in front of him, and then fell to the ground after the collision, making a crisp metal sound.
