Chapter 148 Painting
When Lu Zhiwei saw Lu Yundi, he suddenly felt like he had found his backbone and threw himself into Lu Yundi's arms.
Lu Zhiwei's embrace made Lu Yundi slightly stunned, but soon, her eyes revealed deep concern. She gently stroked her brother's hair and spoke softly:
"Zhi Wei, what's wrong with you? What happened that made you so panicked?"
Lu Zhiwei raised his head, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he became firm: "Sister, I... I found a secret in the garden."
Lu Yundi frowned slightly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes: "What secret?"
Lu Zhiwei hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and whispered, "I found a mysterious underground passage in the corner of the garden. I think this passage must lead to some important place."
A trace of surprise flashed across Lu Yundi's eyes. She pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "This matter is of great importance. We must investigate it immediately. Zhiwei, can you take me to see it?"
Lu Zhiwei nodded, stood up, took Lu Yundi's hand and walked towards the garden.
The two of them didn't speak during the journey, and Lu Yundi felt increasingly depressed.
Although Lu Zhiwei is still young, his eyes reveal a maturity that does not match his age.
Finally arriving at that corner, Lu Zhiwei pointed to an inconspicuous stone slab on the ground and said, "It's here. I lifted the stone slab and found the passage."
Lu Yundi squatted down, carefully observed the stone slab, and then lifted it up with force. Sure enough, a dark passage appeared before his eyes.
"Sister, are we going in?" Lu Zhiwei asked nervously.
Lu Yundi took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes, we must go in. Zhiwei, you go ahead."
Lu Zhiwei walked into the passage carefully, followed by Lu Yundi. The passage was dark and damp, and the two could only rely on the fire sticks in their hands to illuminate the way ahead. After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a spacious basement.
In the center of the basement, there was a huge stone box. Lu Yundi and Lu Zhiwei looked at each other, and Lu Zhiwei slowly walked over and opened the stone box.
Inside the stone box were ancient scrolls and letters.
"Sister, what are these?" Lu Zhiwei asked curiously.
Lu Yundi picked up a scroll and looked at it carefully, then his expression became more serious: "These scrolls and letters record the history of our Lu family. One of them is about the secret of our family ancestor Lu Yuan."
Lu Zhiwei opened his eyes wide: "Lu Yuan? But, didn't our ancestor Lu Yuan die many years ago?"
Lu Yundi nodded slightly: "Yes, Lu Yuan passed away many years ago, but this letter records that before his death, Lu Yuan left a secret about the future of the Lu family. We must decipher these letters as soon as possible to see what is hidden in them."
……
"Sister, do you think this could be the work of ghosts?" Lu Zhiwei asked nervously.
Lu Yundi thought for a moment and shook his head: "Zhi Wei, there are no ghosts in the world. What you encountered may be a man-made prank. However, for safety reasons, we should go and investigate."
After the two of them finished talking, they headed to the abandoned garden together. Along the way, Lu Yundi kept comforting his brother and told him not to be afraid.
When they arrived at the garden, they found that it had been abandoned for a long time and was full of weeds. Lu Yundi looked around carefully and found a hidden path. She took her brother's hand and walked in carefully.
At the end of the path was a dilapidated hut. The house was dark and damp, and filled with a musty smell. Lu Yundi lit a tinderbox and went inside. She found a painting on the wall, and the person in the painting was her younger brother Lu Zhiwei.
"Sister, look!" Lu Zhiwei exclaimed.
Lu Yundi frowned. She carefully observed the person in the painting and found that his eyes were sharp and there was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. She couldn't help but feel suspicious. The person in the painting didn't seem to be her brother.
"Zhi Wei, you said before that the mysterious figure can predict your future. Now it seems that the person in the painting is not you, but another person." Lu Yundi said.
Lu Zhiwei nodded, and suddenly he remembered something and said, "Sister, I just heard a voice in the garden. The voice said that if I want to know my future, I must solve this puzzle."
A gleam of light flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes. She seemed to understand something and said to her brother, "Zhi Wei, this puzzle may be hidden in this painting. Let's look for clues together."
The two carefully observed the person in the painting and found a line of small words on his back. Lu Yundi read out softly: "Everything in the world has order, and only by deciphering it can we know it."
She thought for a moment and said to her brother, "Zhi Wei, this line of words means that everything in the world has its own rules. Only by deciphering this rule can we know our future. I think this rule is hidden in this painting."
Lu Yundi picked up the paintbrush and began to look for clues in the painting. As she painted stroke by stroke, she suddenly discovered that the words behind the person in the painting could be pieced together into a picture.
"Sister, look!" Lu Zhiwei pointed at the figure in the painting excitedly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes as she discovered that this shape was actually a Bagua formation.
Suddenly, it became clear in her mind that this Bagua formation was the key to solving the mystery.
Lu Yundi followed the rules of the Bagua formation and began to look for answers in the painting. After some effort, she finally found a hidden mechanism.
"Zhiwei, we found it!" Lu Yundi excitedly held his brother's hand.
She pressed the trigger, and the person in the painting suddenly disappeared, replaced by a new picture. In the picture, a mysterious figure stood there, and it was her younger brother Lu Zhiwei.
Lu Yundi's eyes sparkled with surprise, and she held her brother's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that this was just a dream. Lu Zhiwei was also shocked, and he looked at himself in the painting, with an indescribable doubt in his heart.
"This...what's going on?" Lu Zhiwei muttered to himself, frowning.
A hint of determination flashed in Lu Yundi's eyes, and she explained softly: "Zhi Wei, I think this may be some kind of hint left by our ancestors. You in this painting seem to be closely related to our destiny."
Lu Zhiwei groaned for a moment, then slowly said: "Sister, look, in this painting, I am standing tall and straight, with a firm gaze, as if I am facing some kind of decision. And the surrounding scenery is full of mystery and unknown."
Lu Yundi nodded, his eyes solemn: "Yes, Zhiwei, we must find out the meaning of this painting. Look here, you seem to be holding something in your hand in the painting, what is that?"
The two observed carefully and found that Lu Zhiwei in the painting was holding a peculiarly shaped jade pendant in his hand. The jade pendant emitted a faint light, as if it contained infinite power.
"We seem to have seen this jade pendant somewhere before." Lu Yundi said thoughtfully.
Lu Zhiwei pondered for a moment, and suddenly remembered something, with a glimmer of light in his eyes: "Sister, I remember when I was a child, my grandfather told us a story, saying that our Lu family ancestor once got a mysterious jade pendant that could predict the future destiny."
