"Wow"

The curtain of the door covered with crystal pendants poured like a waterfall on the shoulders of the good and evil of the ghosts.

"Please sit down at will, and I'll prepare tea. ”

Leaving these words, Bai Ling turned around and opened the curtain and went out.

This is not the front hall where Bai Ling usually receives guests, but a study room separated from the front hall by a curtain. Compared to the spacious and bright vestibule, it is much darker, with the only window opening on the innermost wall, and under the windowsill is a large desk neatly arranged with pen and paper, stationery, and a pot of bamboo. The room was full of bookcases, tall and low, in which and on them.

There are many calligraphy and painting objects here, and they are miscellaneous, but they are placed very exquisitely, and they are divided into categories, which are not chaotic at all. The tables and cabinets are not a trace of dust inside and out, the books are old, but not dilapidated, the pages are yellowed, but they are very complete, and the handwriting is as clear as new, which is enough to see the master's earnestness in cleaning and care, and his sincere love for books.

Good and evil stood in the middle of the room, looked around, and took a deep breath, the intoxicating smell of the book—she was almost, almost vomiting.

"Disgusting, disgusting. ”

Good and evil couldn't help but spit on the ground fiercely, and then she realized that it was not time to turn her face with Bai Ling, so she hurriedly wiped the spit mark with the sole of her shoe.

Growing up so big, there are two kinds of things that good and evil hate the most.

One is books.

The second is to be a reader.

They are boring, they are useless, they are glamorous on the outside and pedantic on the inside, and they speak with a twist and turn, and you cannot refute them. The reason why I hate reading people, good and evil can be talked about continuously for a day and a night. If she had met a scholar on the street, she would have rushed up and beaten her up without saying anything, so that she could relieve her anger. If you can't beat him, then spit out a mouthful of phlegm in his back, and then run away quickly, in short, you can't let those stinky books have a good time. When they are well, good and evil will be sad.

Therefore, in front of this musty elementary school, she pretended to be friendly with a smiling face, and mixed all the way here, she simply began to admire herself.

"Next, about our mission......

Good and evil muttered quietly, and tapped his finger to the row of bookcases against the wall on the right, counting from the first from the left to the fifth.

"One, two, three, four, five, it's you!"

She walked up, pulled open the cabinet door, stood on tiptoe, reached into the highest compartment, and found a long wooden box about half a meter long.

This box should be some years old, and the thin shell has many cracks on the surface, as if it is about to fall apart. She opened the box, took out a silk scroll as old as the wooden box, and spread it out again, and found that there was only one line written on it:

"The White Spirit of the Young Son"

The cursive characters are quite artistic, and the grass is a little unrecognizable. At the bottom of the word is a square red seal, which should represent the name of the person who mentioned the word. The text on the seal is a flattened ancient Chinese character, and the level of good and evil culture is low, and it is unrecognizable, but this is not the point, the point is ......

"Words?"

Good and evil scratched the somewhat itchy braincase, and said to himself:

"Why words?"

She turned the white juan upside down, looked at it several times from various angles, and finally found nothing other than this line of words. For her, it shouldn't be.

Because the "big man" who gave her the task had told her that she would find "a portrait" in "the top floor of the fifth bookcase against the wall on the right side of the study of the Lark House". And that painting is the key to her "future victory".

She followed the plan and took out the right items in the right cabinet, only to see a single line of words. Although, this line looks like the title of a painting, and it does sit in the position of the title - in the lower right corner of the scroll, vertically.

However, what she wanted was not just the "title of the painting", but the painting itself. There can't be anything wrong with the intelligence, and there is no problem with her actions, so it must be the problem with this scroll. There should have been a painting on the scroll with only one line of title left blank, but now, the painting is gone—there must be something strange about it.

"Wow"

Just as good and evil racked their brains, trying to dig out the secret hidden in this scroll. The curtain behind her rang again—it was Baili Bailing who came back with a tea set.

"Oops!"

The heart of good and evil jumped violently, and she knew that she was in for a catastrophe.

She shouldn't be grinding here, as soon as she got the scroll, she should have just run through the window. It doesn't matter if it's a word or a painting, it's all the work of an art connoisseur, and she, who only hates reading all her life, is here to entangle this kind of elegant problem, which is purely a dog taking a mouse, and she has nothing to do to block herself. Now, she's tasting the consequences.

The footsteps behind her stopped, and then, she heard Bai Ling say:

"I should have reminded you, 'Don't touch anything in this room,' now that you've done so...... Those who don't know are not guilty, and this is considered my fault!"

"Jing will play tricks!" "Good and evil complained in his heart.

However, complaining won't solve anything, and she knows it. Now, at this point in time, she was almost exposed, but she was still facing the bookcase, her back to Bai Ling, and she didn't turn around and meet her fate like other thieves.

She was struggling, trying her best to get a glimmer of hope for herself in these last moments.

The knowledge of good and evil is lacking, but it has also been running to the highest speed, and three plans have been drawn up for her.

First, tear the skin, knock the little kid to the ground, grab it and run.

"No, no, I don't have an advantage over anyone head-on. What's more, the other party is also a well-known exorcism expert, and it is said that his strength is not below the Hakurei witch, how can I be his opponent!"

Second, put the scroll back first, and then steal it in the dead of night.

"No, the current situation is already a surprise. No matter how much he coaxed him, he would definitely be suspicious and strengthen his defense. Come over at night, don't say if you can steal it, it's hard to say whether the scroll is still here or not. ”

The first two failed to go to the step of practice, and they were rejected by good and evil in their hearts. In this way, there is only one remaining countermeasure.

Good and evil froze in place for a moment, then took the scroll and turned around.

"Hahahahaha, I'm really embarrassed!" she squinted her eyes, grinned widely, and said, "I see that you have a lot of treasures in this house, and my hands are itchy for a while, and I want to take them out and take a closer look." ”

"I'm a person," she continued, "I don't have any hobbies in my life, but I have a soft spot for these ancient books, ancient paintings, and whatever." Good books and good paintings, I don't get tired of reading them no matter how many times I read them. ”

"Really?"

Bai Ling responded softly, his expression was quite cold, as if he believed and doubted, and it was difficult to judge good and evil. For the sake of her lying and making herself a little sick to her stomach, the righteous and evil thought, "You can believe it once!"

That's right, this is the third scheme of good and evil - deception.

In the current situation where conflict will break out in the next step, and if you take a step back, you will lose the opportunity forever, the good and evil plan to stabilize the situation first, fool Bai Ling, and then look for a good enough opportunity. No matter how powerful Bai Ling is, after all, he is just a mortal with two eyes and one pair of ears, he always has a time of negligence, as long as he is patient, good and evil can always get into the loophole.

The immediate task is to put an end to this casually fabricated lie full of loopholes.

"Hug ...... I'm sorry!" Good and evil pretended to look quite guilty, nodded and said, "Let's ...... Offended you?"

"Anyway," she thought to herself, "that's what cultural people do." ”

"No, no. ”

Bai Ling said flatly, took two more steps forward, and stood in front of her. The boy was much shorter than her, and he had to raise his head to meet her. His face was indifferent, his eyes widened, looking up at good and evil, and he looked somewhat cute......

"No, not at all!" Good and evil immediately erased the small stream of "cute" intent that was born from the bottom of her heart, and then roared at her soul:

"He's a stinky reader, and all stinky readers should be damned, that's all!"

"Can you give me that scroll back?"

At this time, good and evil heard Bai Ling say this. She hurriedly shook off the frenzied thoughts in her heart, piled up an embarrassed smirk that smacked a few times from time to time, and said:

"Volume...... Reel...... Is that what you mean?"

She said, gesturing to the silk scroll in her hand.

As soon as she said this, she immediately regretted it—didn't she ask knowingly?

"Yes. ”

However, Bai Ling's cultivation was really unexpectedly good, he neither poked her to her face, nor ridiculed her, but nodded lightly twice, and said kindly:

"Can you give it to me?"

It is precisely this overly moderate attitude that makes the anger against intellectuals in the hearts of good and evil rise a little.

"Stinky reading!What about your big head of garlic?"

She roared inwardly.

She didn't know why she was angry, anyway, she just didn't deal with Bai Ling. Whether it is a good word or a bad word, as long as it comes from Bai Ling's mouth, she doesn't like a single punctuation mark. Therefore, if she wants to make trouble, she must do something, and she has to make Bai Ling live in peace for the rest of her life...... But, not now.

Now, she had to hold back, everything had to go according to the "plan".

"Give...... Of course you give, why not?"

Good and evil said words against their hearts, and their faces were cramped with laughter. With great reluctance, she handed the scroll out, her arms were as stiff as rusty robot hands. She watched as Bai Ling took the scroll she had just gotten her hands on, turned around and placed it on the large desk, side by side with the pot of steaming tea he had just brought out of the kitchen.

"Say...... Speaking of which!"

As soon as Bai Ling put things away and turned to face her, good and evil took the lead, opened his voice, and spit out the lies that had been brewing in his stomach for a long time:

"That scroll...... We are clumsy and dare not make arbitrary comments, but even mediocre talents like us can see it...... That's not an ordinary thing!"

"Indeed," Bai Ling nodded, "It was a master's handiwork, but unfortunately, it was not a finished product." ”

"Well, no wonder ......"

Good and evil hugged their arms, squinted their eyes and nodded, pretending to be "so it is", and said:

"In other words, it says 'Young Son Bai Ling'...... In my opinion, this scroll was given to you? You are not old enough to paint the portrait, are you?"

When Bai Ling heard this, he stood there and was silent for a long time. Then, with a soft sigh, as if he were very tired, he said:

"It was given to me, but it wasn't given to me...... How can I say it......"

"The so-called 'portrait' is a painting that is drawn according to the appearance of a person. ”

"And Xiaosheng is probably a 'person' born according to the appearance of the painting. ”

"Phases are born from the heart, and hearts are born from each other. Life is like a dream, and a dream is like life. ”
