Chapter 102: Misty Clouds
"Where did you learn so many crooked theories?" Zhang Chen said with a smile.
"It was Huahua who told me, and Huahua said that his father often made mistakes, and this is how he made Hua's mother happy, so that he could go into the house to sleep. ”
"Then thank you baby, let's start too, hurry up and get the brush in hand, it's time for the exam." ”
When the little girl heard this, she immediately returned to the stool and sat upright, waiting for Zhang Chen to come up with the question.
Half an hour later, the exam was over, the little girl passed the test perfectly, and began to practice health boxing with Yueli, at this time Xu Hong came, and he also held three scrolls in his hand.
"Master, I have found three strange calligraphy and paintings in the villa, and I would like you to identify them. ”
"Yueli, Lan Lan asked Grandma Sun to take her to take a bath after punching. ”
"Yes, Mr. Zhang. ”
After giving the order, Zhang Chen led Xu Hong to Old Man Cheng's No. 7 villa. Now the Cheng family hasn't moved over, just a few maids who clean up and Cheng Bi.
He was on the phone when he saw Zhang Chen coming in, quickly hung up the phone, and trotted out: "Mr. Zhang, why are you here?"
"Lend it to your home, you have a little more space here. ”
"Use whatever you want, you prefer upstairs or downstairs. ”
"Just here, let the others out. Zhang Chen pointed to the living room and said, Cheng Bi immediately drove the cleaning servants outside.
Xu Hong threw the three calligraphy and paintings on the table, and before he could speak, Cheng Bi muttered: "Why do I think these three paintings are a little familiar?"
"You've seen it?"
"I have an impression, but I can't remember where I saw it. ”
There are three calligraphy and paintings, one is a picture of the celebration of the achievements after the war, a large group of soldiers sitting around a bonfire, each with a different expression, one is a wooden boat driving on the wide river, and a line of egrets hovering in the sky, and the other is a picture of the country falling into the flames of war, and the civilians are displaced.
Xu Hong said: "When I was counting the Xu family's property at night, I found these three paintings in my father's storeroom. At first, I didn't pay attention, I directly put away the three calligraphy and paintings and let people come in to register, the person disappeared as soon as he touched the scroll, and the three calligraphy and paintings also changed positions. ”
As soon as Xu Hong's words fell, the three calligraphy and paintings changed positions again under their noses. Cheng Bi, who was observing from the side, suddenly felt a strong suction, and at this time, Zhang Chen put his hand on him, and the suction disappeared.
"Hey, what happened just now?" asked Cheng Bi suspiciously.
"There is a problem with these three calligraphy and paintings. When Cheng Bi heard this, he hurriedly hid behind Zhang Chen.
"Xu Hong, do you know the origin of these three calligraphy and paintings?"
"All I know is that when I was very young, my dad bought it from an auction and I heard it cost a lot of money. ”
"Oh, I remember, yes, it's the auction!"
Cheng Bi said: "To be precise, it should be an antique fair held every ten years in Sichuan Province, and this auction is organized by big families in Sichuan Province. In the golden era of antiques in troubled times, everyone will get together every ten years to exchange antique collections and trade with each other. ”
"At that time, these three calligraphy and paintings were taken out by the Zhang family in Longcheng, and they were fighting a price war with their opponents at that time, and their cash flow was about to be cut off. There is really no way to take out the ancestral calligraphy and paintings in exchange for money. Old man Xu happened to be crazy about calligraphy and painting at that time, and he bought it after finding someone to verify the authenticity.
At that time, he also said that he bought it cheaply, because the portrait painting art of this celebration picture has reached its peak, and everyone in the painting has a different expression and is lifelike. I've also taken a closer look and it's really worth the money. ”
Cheng Bi said and wondered, and guessed: "Could this be a conspiracy, the Xu family is just gone, and the Zhang family is about to enter Rongcheng in a high-profile manner, and it just so happens that there is a problem with calligraphy and painting at this time." ”
Zhang Chen said: "There is this possibility, because the calligraphy and painting originally had a seal, and now the seal is broken, and it has restored its original function." As for whether it is a conspiracy, just see. Stand back. ”
The two retreated to the door, Zhang Chen slowly walked to the table, and the three calligraphy and paintings at the moment were arranged as a lonely boat on the left, a celebration picture in the middle, and a picture of the country's destruction and death on the right.
Looking at the general wearing armor in the middle of the celebration picture, Zhang Chen grinned: "I found you." ”
With both hands pointed together like a sword, he stabbed the general in the face in the picture of the celebration.
Knock knock!
The wooden table carrying the three calligraphy and paintings suddenly moved, faster and faster, and after half a minute, it turned into small pieces and fell to the ground. The three calligraphy and paintings fell to the ground, and black fireworks suddenly appeared on the surface of the scroll, and then condensed into the image of a long-haired human.
The man floated above the scroll and said slowly, "Who wake up the old man and come forward, I can fulfill your three wishes." “
"I really think I'm Aladdin's magic lamp, and I still have three wishes, but it's just a remnant soul, pretending to be in front of me. ”
Zhang Chen smiled coldly, made a claw with his right hand, and ingested the human condensed by fireworks into the palm of his hand.
"Ahh I don't dare anymore. ”
No one can pretend to be a ghost in front of Zhang Chen, because the people who pretended to be dead are dead. If there is one who survives, it is either his best friend or his loved ones.
After a few moments, the black fireworks disappeared, and the three calligraphy and paintings burned to the ground. Antique vases, ancient books, calligraphy scrolls, formal weapons, and a pale skeleton appeared in the hall.
Xu Hong's pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw the registrar who had just disappeared in the pile of bones, because the skeleton had a silver ring on its index finger, and every employee of the Tibetan God Temple had it.
"It's time to come over. ”
Cheng Bi tiptoed over and asked, "Mr. Zhang, what was the situation just now?"
"A monk's dream of immortality. ”
The monk in the picture is named Tianchenzi, a Qi refiner of the Tang Dynasty. Originally, he was a commoner, collecting medicine in the mountains to obtain the inheritance of Qi refiners, and since then, he has been taking purple glow, shooting stars at dusk, and embarking on the road of cultivation.
He has traveled the world, served as a general, and witnessed the rise and fall of the country. Knowing that the deadline was approaching, he knew that he would not be able to break through the existing shackles and gain a new lifespan, so he left a way out of immortality.
Draw three paintings with the blood of your heart, divide the soul into three and put it into the world in the painting, and leave a formation seal. Whenever the formation is unraveled, the remnant soul reunites, and he will return to the world. If the aura is sufficient, the hand he leaves behind will wake him up and rush away from the path of cultivation, if the aura is insufficient, he will continue to sleep, and the instinct of the remnant soul will devour the person who opened the scroll.
"It's too ruthless, it's hard to paint, and it's also divided the soul into three, just to live. Cheng Bi smacked his tongue when he heard it.
"What is this, in order to live forever and break through the realm, some people will kill their wives, children, and bloodline relatives. Compared to this, it is simply a drop in the bucket. ”
"Then they shouldn't be human, they're demons. ”
"No, the Devil is much more disciplined than this kind of person, and this kind of person should be called a degenerate. ”
"Then is this a conspiracy of the Zhang family?"
