Chapter 10: Heaven Descends from the Heart, and Hides Another Mystery
Lin Shuihan knew that these two days were the days when the pupil door was opened this month, and most of the people in the Demon Realm would come to Zaikong City to play, and the business of those shops on weekdays was relatively bleak, and the flow of people was very scarce, so it took a lot of effort to attract those people from the Demon Realm to enter the store.
Lin Shu is at the corner of the tenth shop on the left hand side after entering the city, where there is another unique view in the empty city, which is the mansion of the richest people in the city, there is a pond in front of the mansion, and there is an arched bridge on it, many people are standing on the arch bridge and competing to feed the fish, and have a lot of fun.
But at this time, there were no people on the arch bridge, most of them were around a small place by the pond, where Lin Shu sold calligraphy and paintings, at this moment she was kneeling on the ground, in front of her a piece of rice paper that had been stained with half of the ink, holding a brush in her hand and constantly dipping ink on the inkstone on the right hand, and then sketching back and forth on the rice paper.
Standing opposite her was a young man in a dark robe, his appearance was a little uninhibited, a pair of eyes stared directly at Lin Shu's hand, his eyes moved with the back and forth of her hand, and a pair of deep eyebrows and eyes gradually surged a look of surprise.
That person is one of the people of the Demon Realm, he came to the world for the first time today through the pupil gate, and found this woman who sells calligraphy and paintings in this empty city, he has heard of it when he was in the Demon Realm, there is a mute woman who sells paintings in the empty city, this memory, it immediately aroused the curiosity in his heart, so he walked in front of Lin Shu and pretended to buy paintings.
"Girl, you Danqing don't meet what I want in my heart, what can I do?" After going through all the paintings that Lin Shu brought, he looked at Lin Shu with a pair of playful eyes.
Lin Shu saw his eyes and knew that this person had no intention of buying a painting and intended to make trouble, so he lowered his eyes and deliberately ignored it, and when the man saw that Lin Shu was silent, he knew that she was really a dumb person! So he took out a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it to Lin Shu, saying:
"The girl's Danqing painting is very meaningful, vivid and lifelike, I don't want to disturb the girl's interest in selling paintings, so let's do it, if you can paint an ink painting for me with the theme of 'falling from the sky', this ingot of silver is yours, I don't know what the girl wants?"
After listening to his words, Lin Shu raised his head and looked at him in some surprise, "I'm serious!" The man thought that Lin Shu didn't believe it, so he put the silver in her hand, and tried his best to open his eyes to show his sincerity.
Lin Shu glanced down at the silver, sighed silently in his heart, and then took out a piece of rice paper from his wooden box and spread it out in front of him, there were a little potholes on the ground, no matter how Lin Shu stroked it, it was useless, there was no paperweight, and the light rice paper was slightly rolled up under the blowing of the night wind.
Lin Shu didn't care, but the man was very sad, so he took out two of Lin Shu's paintings as paperweights at random, "Under such conditions, I don't expect you to make any good paintings, feel free!
That person didn't care very much, but it was extremely harsh to Lin Shu's ears, when did she start to endure such humiliation for an ingot of silver, thinking that at the beginning, she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at the age of ten, and her family wealth was not worried about food and clothing, and a silver ingot in her hand was nothing to her at all, but now, that thing has become her only pursuit......
The half of the ink on the paper was sprinkled by Lin Shu, and I don't know if it was needed to paint or deliberately vented, the theme that the man said was 'falling from the sky', originally he thought of the feeling that he had fallen from the sky when he first arrived in the world through the pupil gate, but Lin Shu thought of his own everything because of his words, and everything began on that day, the baby that fell from the sky, with a strange white light and lingering bad luck, descended in front of her......
The man looked at Lin Shu painting condescendingly, and soon, they attracted the attention of many people, everyone was curious about what they were doing, and also curious about what Lin Shu wanted to paint, so they came over one after another and surrounded Lin Shu and that person.
When Lin Shuihan arrived, he only saw that his sister's bunk was crowded with people, and in the gap of those crowds, he vaguely saw Lin Shu kneeling on the ground and painting, he wanted to walk over to find out, but thinking that Lin Shu might not like his appearance, he paused, stood outside the crowd and stood on tiptoe and watched.
At this time, Lin Shu's painting was almost finished, the previous person saw the painting when his eyes trembled obviously, the heavenly descent on the painting was very different from what he thought, the painting was an old forest deep mountain, a woman stood there in rags, covering her heart and looking shocked, on the ground a few steps away from her, a baby in swaddling clothes appeared, exuding light.
In that half of the thick ink, faintly sprinkled shallow brilliance shrouded from the sky directly over the baby's body, the thick ink was dipped in water by Lin Shu rendered, the color became light black, like a few black clouds floating in the sky, in this way, the baby became from the black clouds, which really fit the theme of the person's 'falling from the sky'.
"How about this 'falling from the sky'?" Lin Shu put away his pen and left his signature on the left side of the painting, then raised his head and asked the man, who stared at Lin Shu's painting dumbfounded, speechless in surprise, so he had to nod stunned, "Okay!
When everyone saw the painting, they began to talk about it, although the painting was made of thick ink, but the scene in the painting was very real, the tattered clothes of the woman, and the surprise in her eyes, as if one could personally experience the sense of fear, and the baby, although he did not show his face in swaddling clothes, but gave people a gloomy meaning of extreme fear.
It's a really good drawing!
Someone in the crowd suddenly sighed loudly, and then, everyone echoed, and then, everyone began to scramble to buy Lin Shu's paintings, Lin Shuihan didn't know for a while what the sudden change in the crowd was, but since his sister was fine, it was not good for him to stay here anymore, so he turned around and left.
He didn't realize that in the crowd just now, there was a person in a black coat who was staring at Lin Shu intently, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes were unfathomable.
That person is the guardian demon spirit of the Demon Realm, Su Qing.
While the pupil door was not closed, he first came out to inquire about the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor, originally thought that he would find nothing, but now it seems that he has found the whereabouts of the Demon Emperor.
In the painting of Lin Shu, the woman who sold paintings just now, there is one thing that others may not know, but with his cultivation realm, it is absolutely impossible for him not to sense it.
Although the woman's arm in the painting stays at the position of the heart, it does seem to be covering the heart, but in fact, the woman's fingers are pointed straight at her throat, and her surprised expression may be surprised by the appearance of the baby, but more likely, she is surprised that she suddenly can't open her mouth!
Coincidentally, the woman who sold the paintings was also a mute! And the guardian demon knew from the moment she saw her that her loss of voice was not an accident, but was influenced by a demon realm method, and this demon realm method was the soul devouring array!
Originally, the Nine Glass Beads were conjured up with this Soul Devouring Array, so once the Nine Glass Beads turned into a human form, they would exude a kind of blood spirit power, which could take a person's life in an instant, absorb his blood, and use his death to commemorate the death of the Nine Glass Beads and celebrate the arrival of the Nine Generations of Demon Emperors!
Presumably, it was the power of the blood spirit that accidentally slashed the woman's throat when she took human blood, which made her lose her voice unexpectedly, and the painting she made must not be a whim, but her own experience!
The baby on the painting must be a human form transformed by nine glass beads, and now it seems that as long as he follows this girl and finds the whereabouts of the baby in the painting, he can find the nine generations of demon emperors!
Thinking of this, the corners of Su Qing's mouth couldn't help but swell with a smile, and he began to secretly follow behind Lin Shu, looking for an opportunity to use the mind-reading technique to find out the whereabouts of the baby.
Lin Shuihan walked all the way to the city gate, his steps were paused, but he was hesitating whether to wait for Lin Shu to go home together, just as he made up his mind to wait for Lin Shu at the city gate, he inadvertently passed by a shop and was stopped by the boss.
He turned his head and found a very kind old man standing at the door of a shop called 'Swaying', looking at him with a smile, waving to him and motioning for him to come over, Lin Shuihan was stunned for a moment, and then walked over, "Old man, you called me?"
The old man laughed twice, nodded and said, "Yes, I called you!"
"What's the matter?" Lin Shuihan frowned.
The old man laughed twice, and then asked, "Child, are you Lin Shu's younger brother?"
Lin Shuihan was shocked when he heard this, "How does the old man know that you know my sister?"
"Yes, your sister bought two wooden rings from me yesterday, saying that they were for her brother and a girl, but I have been standing at the door all day, and I only see you wearing this wooden ring on your hand!"
Lin Shuihan suddenly realized that his sister had bought two wooden rings from him! But—"Grandpa, why are you standing at the door and looking around all day? Are these two wooden rings very important to you?"
"That's not it!" the old man denied it very indifferently, and when he said this, Lin Shuihan was even more strange, "What is the reason for that, it is worth standing here all day!"
"Because these two wooden rings are very spiritual, once you put them on, you can't take them off again, and the rattan on these wooden rings is actually the rhizome of the Tianshan Snow Lotus, or the rhizome of the Snow Lotus, you know?"
