Chapter 444 I Know Where the Black Lotus Is
Jiang Yimo frowned and thought about what the imperial teacher said.
"Could it be that the prince and I are really the guardians of that hidden lotus?" Jiang Yimo said to herself.
"You are so smart that you should have noticed it a long time ago. Whenever you encounter a lotus, it will automatically come closer to you. This is the proof." The national teacher reminded her.
Hearing what the Imperial Master said, Jiang Yimo couldn't help but recall the various strange events she had experienced with the prince before, each of which was related to lotus.
Perhaps, they really are the guardians of that mysterious lotus!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown.
Then, she asked the Imperial Master: "Does the Imperial Master know what our mission is?"
The handsome face of the national teacher was solemn. He looked at the two people in front of him seriously and said slowly: "Your mission is to find the six six-colored lotuses, and then..."
Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo listened quietly, their eyes focused and determined.
"However, you have already found five of them now. You only need one more black lotus to complete the collection."
The Imperial Master continued speaking, his voice revealing his affirmation of their achievements.
When Feng Wuhen and Jiang Yimo heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up.
Then, the two looked at each other. Although there was no verbal exchange, they both knew what the other was thinking.
Black Lotus, do they know where it is?
Last time, they had seen it in the basement of Prince You's Mansion, but it did not approach her actively like other lotus flowers. It was aggressive and could not be touched.
"Master, do we know where the black lotus you mentioned is? But we can't get close to it."
Hearing this, the Imperial Master was a little surprised. He didn't expect that they had seen the Black Lotus so early.
"Have you seen Black Lotus?"
"Yes, at that time, she and I went to the basement of Prince You's Mansion and saw a black lotus. But when I tried to approach it, it suddenly attacked me and poisoned me. Later I found out that the attack power of this black lotus was very strong, and it seemed to have its own consciousness." Jiang Yimoru said.
Hearing this, the Imperial Master frowned and his tone became serious. He asked, "Was your hand poisoned last time because of the black lotus?"
Although he guessed that it might be related to the Black Lotus, he felt that they would not find the Black Lotus so quickly. Maybe it was something else...
Jiang Yimo nodded slightly. She recalled the pain and torture she had experienced when she was poisoned, and her heart shuddered.
"It seems that this black lotus is indeed somewhat unusual." The national teacher said after pondering for a moment, "Since you have found it, the next step is to find a way to get closer to it."
Jiang Yimo shook her head helplessly and said, "But we can't get close to it! As soon as we get close, it will attack me with black poisonous mist, and my hands can't even touch it."
The Imperial Master smiled slightly, as if he had expected this situation. He said confidently, "Don't worry, I have a way."
Jiang Yimo's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "What method?"
The Imperial Master replied softly, "Cut your finger and drip the blood into the black lotus, then it will not attack you."
Jiang Yimo was skeptical after hearing this. She thought it sounded a little unbelievable, but she couldn't help asking, "Is it that simple?"
The Imperial Master nodded affirmatively and explained, "When you drip your own blood into it, it will think that you have some kind of connection with it, and will not attack you."
"But other people's finger blood won't work. Only your finger blood will work."
"Okay, we will do as you suggest." Jiang Yimo looked at the national teacher gratefully.
Then the three of them chatted for a while.
Because Jiang Yimo's eyelids were twitching, she and Feng Wuhen immediately left the Imperial Master's residence and hurried to Gu's residence.
At this time, the gate of the Gu Mansion was hung with white flowers and white cloth, and the atmosphere was very depressing.
Jiang Yimo felt very sad. She quickened her pace and hurried into the yard.
She and the evil king stepped over the threshold and entered the courtyard of the Gu Mansion. The whole courtyard was filled with a sad atmosphere that made people feel suffocated.
Jiang Yimo's eyes were red and tears blurred her vision. She tried hard to control her emotions and not let herself break down.
Feng Wuhen followed her silently. He was also very sad about the passing of General Gu. He had to watch General Gu die but he could do nothing.
He knew that Jiang Yimo needed time to face all of this at the moment, so he accompanied her quietly, giving her strength and support.
When Jiang Yimo saw General Gu lying in the coffin, her heart ached and her tears flowed uncontrollably like a flood.
Her eyes were full of sadness and pain, as if the whole world had lost its color.
"Grandpa..." Jiang Yimo called softly, her voice filled with endless sadness and reluctance.
She slowly approached the coffin, stretched out her trembling hands, gently stroked the cold coffin, and felt the unspeakable grief.
After Jiang Yimo finished crying, Gu Yuanshan and Madam Gu walked up to her and comforted her, "Momo, your aunt and I know everything about your grandfather's incident last night."
"The Imperial Master had someone tell us in detail that the old man volunteered to save you."
"We don't blame you, and don't blame yourself too much. This is all fate!"
Gu Yuanshan patted Jiang Yimo's shoulder gently, his eyes full of pity.
He knew that this child had had a difficult journey and that he was a very filial person.
Although he was very sad that his father died while saving his granddaughter, he could not stop the old man from saving people even if he was at the scene last night.
"Yes, Momo, your grandfather passed away peacefully." Mrs. Gu also comforted her, "He loved you the most when he was alive. I believe he would be relieved to see that you are safe and sound."
Jiang Yimo raised her head, tears still on her face, but there was a hint of determination in her eyes.
She took a deep breath and said, "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, I won't be sad anymore. I want to live well and not let my grandfather down."
Gu Yuanshan and Mrs. Gu looked at each other, and there was a look of relief in their eyes.
They knew that this strong girl would definitely walk out of the shadows and find the sunshine in life again.
"That's good. Although your grandpa is gone, our relationship cannot be alienated. You are still our most beloved niece."
"Okay, uncle, aunt, I'll remember it."
"Well, it's good that you've come to terms with it. Then you should spend more time with your grandpa. Your uncle and aunt are going to entertain the guests."
After Gu Yuanshan finished speaking, with tears in his eyes, he glanced at his father, took his wife and turned away, going to the door to greet the people who came to burn incense.
They walked to the door of the mourning hall and saw some relatives and friends coming to pay their respects.
Gu Yuanshan and his wife had sad expressions on their faces. They expressed their gratitude to the relatives and friends who came to pay their respects and led them into the mourning hall to burn incense.
