Chapter 257: Burning Paintings (II)
"Still say no?" Yue Ying became more and more angry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info She leaned forward and said earnestly, and actually looked like a bitter elder: "Mother, since you have married a woman, you should abide by the way of women." No matter how good a man was in the past, you should forget about him now! You are Daddy's princess, so you should treat Daddy wholeheartedly. How can you steal a portrait of an old lover and take it out every now and then and secretly miss it?"
Bai Wanling finally woke up a little. She looked at the portrait in her hand and couldn't help laughing: "Are you suspicious, the man in the portrait is an old lover from her mother's past?
"Isn't it," Yue Ying looked very skeptical, "When you're in a bad mood, you always like to take out the picture scroll, spread your gaze, and be silently in a daze." And every time you look at the portrait, Daddy is even more unhappy. You've been arguing a lot lately, isn't it because of him?"
"You ......" Bai Wanling was angry and funny. She wanted to explain, but she didn't know where to start. She felt sad.
Bai Wanling's relationship with her husband has been very stiff recently, and the matter does have something to do with Du Shen. At the beginning, when Bai Wanling came back from Dazheng Jue Temple, she told her husband what happened to Du Shen.
When the husband heard about it, he was skeptical. Yan Wang Yue Zifeng did not fully believe in Du Shen's "prophecy". Of course, he didn't want his wife to practice the exercises given by Du Shen, nor did he want his wife to use the pill that quenched the bloodline. However, for the sake of her daughter's future, Bai Wanling secretly used the exercises and pills given by Du Shen.
Of course, the elixir that helped Bai Wanling prolong her life. After Yue Zifeng verified it, it was not prohibited.
When Yue Ying was born, the pure demon bloodline gave Yue Zifeng a blow to the head. Although he believed in Du Shen's prophecy, he didn't want his daughter to grow up according to Du Shen's arrangement. Although Yue Ying has demon blood, her body and appearance are ordinary humans. Where is Yue Zifeng willing his daughter to practice the demon clan exercises, becoming less and less like a human being, and eventually becoming a great demon?
Yue Zifeng just wanted to hide Yue Ying's abnormality and let her live her life normally. Bai Wanling didn't think so, she hoped that her daughter would eventually become an immortal.
The contradiction between the two began. At first, they just persuaded each other, and now they are arguing and occasionally quarrelling.
After all, Bai Wanling loves Yue Zifeng deeply. How could she not care about her husband's wishes? Therefore, she was often wavering in the face of her husband's persuasion. Whenever this happens, she will unconsciously take out Du Shen's portrait, recalling the exchange in the temple, and hoping that Du Shen will appear again to guide her and strengthen her beliefs.
As for Du Shen's portrait, Bai Wanling painted it in person on the day she met Du Shen. On the one hand, she remembered Du Shen's appearance, so that she could recognize each other in the future. On the other hand, with the help of portraits, I inquired about Du Shen's thoughts.
It's just that Bai Wanling is from the demon clan. Since childhood, he only knew how to practice qi and meditate, and although he was literate, he did not learn much to paint. Although she is a monk and has the assistance of magic, she has a short contact with Du Shen after all. Moreover, oriental brush painting is inherently focused on artistic conception and charm, not as detailed as oil painting and sketching.
Therefore, the full-body portrait painted by Bai Wanling is eighty percent similar to Du Shen himself. It is used to find people and ask questions, which is reluctant.
Bai Wanling's collection of portraits is not without gratitude. Unexpectedly, Yue Ying was cranky, and speculated on the discord between Bai Wanling and his wife on the relationship between men and women.
Bai Wanling smiled bitterly, and could only explain weakly: "Ying'er, you misunderstood." The painting on this scroll is not an old friend of my mother's family, but a senior of a master. ā
Bai Wanling groaned, thinking about Du Shen's original explanation and advice. She gave up the intention of explaining in detail, and only said in general terms: "Anyway, my mother collected this painting just because she respected him." It's not that you can't forget the old love. ā
Bai Wanling held the painting in one hand and held it high. She pulled Yue Ying to her side and let her daughter face the long scroll. She said solemnly: "Yue Ying, you keep it in mind." The people in the painting are kind to us, and you will meet ...... in the future."
Yue Ying struggled slightly, and interjected to ask, "What grace?"
Bai Wanling frowned and replied, "The grace of recreation." ā
Yue Ying was inexplicable: "How to rebuild?"
Bai Wanling groaned for a short time, and suddenly reprimanded him in annoyance: "Why are you asking so much? In short, you have memorized it for me! If you meet the person in the painting in the future, you must treat him with respect as you treat your parents and teachers." If he asks for anything, as long as it's not too much, you must try to accommodate him. ā
Yue Ying was impatient and deliberately raised the bar: "How can it not be too much?"
Bai Wanling felt tired and explained palely: "You have to measure it yourself, as long as it's not ......"
"I'll measure it myself," Yue Ying struggled hard, "Mother, I think your current request is very excessive! You don't tell me the specific reason, just let me be a slave to others! Mother, tell me honestly, the man in the portrait is really not your old lover?"
Bai Wanling was silent for a moment before shaking her head seriously: "It's really not." ā
Yue Ying became happy: "That's good, mother, if it's really not." You just burn the painting, so that your father will not be angry all the time. ā
Bai Wanling sighed in reluctance: "The problem is not here. It's useless to burn the painting. ā
Yue Ying was angry and anxious. She tugged at Bai Wanling's sleeve and shook it gently: "Mother, is it because you still have that man in your heart?"
Bai Wanling was speechless, and her mood was complicated. She was silent for a long time before she said, "You don't even say it's a lover, why don't you believe it?" Okay, I'll burn it, I'll burn it." ā
Bai Wanling threw the scroll in her hand high. The scroll slowly flew away and burned. In a few breaths, the scroll burned to ashes and scattered lightly on the ground.
Seeing this, Yue Ying couldn't help but clap her hands lightly: "Great! Now, Daddy will make peace with his mother, okay?"
Bai Wanling agreed softly, gloomy.
At the same time, in the far north, somewhere in the wilderness.
Du Shen stopped flying, hovered in mid-air, and turned to face the eight figures chasing after him.
Xiang Gongming led everyone and arrived a few meters away from Du Shen. He said gloomily: "Senior Brother Du, although you have extraordinary endowments, it's a pity that your cultivation is too low. We are good at tracking techniques, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, you can't escape our tracking!"
Du Shen connected with the dozens of ghosts that had been scattered before to see if there were any other monks around. He deliberately delayed time: "Senior brothers, senior sisters, why do you want to chase after you?
Xiang Gongming and others chased Du Shen, and it was almost a day and a night. Even though they were monks, they were also exhausted at this time. Xiang Gongming said bluntly: "Senior Brother Du, I heard that you have a large amount of ...... in your hand."
Xiang Gongming was making a statement, and a dense figure suddenly appeared around him. Du Shen released 1,200 vampires and surrounded the eight people of Xiang Gongming.
Du Shen is interested in verifying the results of his own learning formation. He drove the vampires and posed for the Mystery Array and the Locking Gold Array. He mixed the two formations and drove the vampires to sneak up on the Komeito Eight from different directions.
Despite the sudden appearance of the vampire, it was still not caught off guard. Xiang Gongming and the others used their flying swords in time and took care of each other. The flying swords of the eight men are either golden, cyan, or red. Even Liu Bilian, who has the lowest cultivation, also drove the flying sword with all her might, providing little help.
Vampires are only equivalent to the innate Great Perfection body refining cultivators. Xiang Gongming's eight people, most of them are cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building. What's more, the magic weapon has an innate advantage against the body refiner. The flying swords of Xiang Gongming and the others flew back and forth, forming a strong line of defense, making it impossible for vampires to enter an inch.
Du Shen was already secretly satisfied. He could feel that his own arrangement had generated a faint power of the formation. Although this power was weak, it greatly suppressed the exertion of Xiang Tianming and the others. If there is no formation to cooperate, the flying sword against the vampire is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. At this time, because of the additional formation, the loss of vampires will be reduced by at least seventy percent.
According to the situation at this time, Du Shen didn't need to use the fake pill, just relying on the formation to drive the vampires, he could use the true yuan of Xiang Tianming and the others to kill them easily. Of course, the premise is that Xiang Gongming and the others do not have a magic weapon to cross the ranks.
Xiang Tianming and the others huddled together, feeling that the enemy was endless, and there were mortal dangers in all directions. The eight had to do everything in their power to drive the flying sword into an airtight air to protect themselves.
This kind of consumption is naturally very huge. In just three or five minutes, everyone felt that most of the true yuan was consumed. Liu Bilian was the most unlucky, driving the flying sword to collide indiscriminately, and she couldn't break through the vampire's body.
All eight have hole cards, but they are all hard-won. Everyone couldn't help pinning their hopes on Tianming. Several monks sent voices one after another to urge: "Senior brother, Du Shen has too many puppets, use the magic weapon quickly, and break it as soon as possible." ā
The use of magic weapons consumes a lot. Xiang Tianming struggled, and finally made up his mind. He sent a message to his six companions: "Take care of me. ā
Xiang Tianming's flying sword suddenly stopped and flew backwards. A gray and black ring ruler appeared in his hand. Xiang Tianming threw it hard, and the ring ruler became larger in a blink of an eye, more than ten meters long. The ring ruler slapped in mid-air, making a muffled sound. The vampires in the air are like flies and mosquitoes, falling in large quantities.
As a result, a large gap appeared in the formation, and Xiang Tianming and the others wanted to fly out of the gap as soon as they rolled up their sword light.
Du Shen released more vampires, forming a larger cage, trapping Xiang Tianming and the others in the middle. Du Shen was about to compress the distance between the vampires and squeeze Xiang Tianming and the others together again. A cyan sword light appeared in the sky in the distance.
The sword light seemed to notice the movement here, deflected the direction, and flew quickly. Du Shen slightly relaxed the control of the formation and secretly guarded.
