Chapter 137: The Origin of Ancient Paintings

"What's wrong with this painting, is there something wrong with it?" Shengshou Mountain saw Bai Yuchan's shocked look, and his heart sank, he spent a lot of money to get this painting, just because he liked it very much, the other party couldn't bear to cut his love, which also took a lot of effort. m.

"There's something wrong with this painting, so wait a minute." Bai Yuchan hurriedly said to Shengshou Mountain.

Just after the words fell, Bai Yuchan pinched his hands, and with the technical change of his gestures, the aura of the surrounding heaven and earth suddenly condensed towards Bai Yuchan's hands, and suddenly a very pure aura of heaven and earth between the surrounding heaven and earth was directly like a ripple in the sky, and it quickly condensed into Bai Yuchan's hands.

"Thor's departments, five and six, listen to my orders! Mountain spirits and water monsters, earth spirit heavenly treasures, forbidden! Bai Yuchan waved his hands, and the invisible magic seal between his hands suddenly pierced through the air, and was directly reflected in the sea chart under the Yaksha.

Just after the Dharma seal was printed into the nautical chart under the Yaksha, a faint white light suddenly appeared on the broken and yellowed ancient painting, and the entire ancient painting was overflowing with colorful light.

"Whoa......"

Just after the colorful light began to spread throughout the ancient painting, a terrible roar suddenly erupted from the ancient painting, this roar did not look like a beast, nor did it look like a ghost, it was like the last scream of a beast before it was temporary.

Randomly, the whole ancient painting was shaking, as if there were some demons and monsters trying to escape from it, and the whole ancient painting shook for a while, and even the whole room shook a little.

Sheng Shoushan looked at the ancient painting, and made such a strange movement, and he could still act on his own, and his face suddenly changed greatly, although he had experienced many wars and many life and death moments in his life, but he was still a little afraid of this strange and unknown thing that could not be seen clearly.

"Don't be afraid, this thing can't escape." Bai Yuchan saw Shengshou Mountain's nervous look, and immediately comforted. At the same time, he pinched a magic duel again in his hand, and hit the nautical chart again against the Nakshatra.

As Bai Yuzen's law was played again, a visible water wave suddenly emerged from the ancient painting picture, and with the appearance of the water wave, the real picture suddenly began to slowly return to calm, and the whimpering roar in it also slowly disappeared during the meeting.

"This ...... What kind of monster is this, and how can it be hidden in the picture? Sheng Shoushan was completely stunned at this time, he had hung this painting in his study for several years, and he still didn't know that there was such a ghost thing hidden in this painting.

"I don't know what kind of monster this is, but it's not an ordinary monster." Bai Yuchan pondered for a moment before speaking. Just now he used that forbidden spell, but he couldn't completely ban that monster, and he knew that this monster was a little strange.

"Not an ordinary monster, that weird dream of mine...... Doesn't it have something to do with this monster? "Shengshou Mountain is already the owner of the six gods at this time.

"If I'm right, it's this monster that's playing tricks. I've been looking around your house, and only this ancient painting is a little unusual. Bai Yuchan suddenly calmed down, and the old man said.

"That'...... Where did this monster come from? Sheng Shoushan only remembered to ask this question at this time.

"You're asking me the wrong question, but you should always ask yourself where you got this painting from, and where does it come from?" Bai Yuchan stared at the old man and said jokingly.

"You mean, if you know where this thing came from, you can tell what kind of monster it is?" Sheng Shoushan looked at Bai Yuchan, at this time he already regarded Bai Yuchan as a god, and immediately asked.

"Almost, there is such a monster hidden in an ordinary picture scroll, and it should be easier to judge only if you find the source of this painting." Bai Yuchan said.

"Okay, then I'll tell you the origin of this painting......" Sheng Shoushan said, and began to tell the story......

It turned out that this painting was bought by Shengshoushan from Yang Kaiqi, and it cost a lot of money to get it. Although Shengshoushan was a general who killed the battlefield, he had a soft spot for these literati calligraphy and paintings, and with the development of the times, especially after taking a back seat, his hobby was even worse. The house is basically a small collection museum, and now Bai Yuchan sees only a small part of it hanging in his study, which is also his favorite part, and the rest is stored in another place.

At the beginning, this painting was accidentally seen by Shengshoushan in Yang Shaocheng's study, and after seeing it, he liked it very much, as if this painting had a kind of magic that attracted him.

Later, he took a lot of trouble and took out a mysterious night pearl that he had always cherished as a family heirloom in exchange for this chart of the Nakshatra descending the nautical chart.

Moreover, the night pearl also has a very mysterious function, that is, it can make people refreshed and energetic, even if they don't sleep for three days and three nights, there is no problem. Although Shengshoushan has also found many people to see the bead, but they don't know the true origin and use of the bead, but it will shine at night, so it has always been called the pearl of the night.

For the sake of his beloved ancient painting, after Shengshoushan proposed to replace it with his own things, Yang Kaiqi actually proposed to exchange the beads for the first time. That's where bartering comes in.

"Refreshing beads?" Bai Yuchan suddenly thought of a treasure in his mind, and that treasure was a rare treasure even in the fairy world - "Condensing Divine Bead".

Condensing the Divine Pearl, among the best treasures in the world, can make people refreshed, soul power condensation, if the monk wears it, it will invisibly enhance the soul power, soul power is the strongest way pursued by immortals, no matter how strong the body is, death will also be destroyed, but the soul is different, after the soul power is strong, even if the body falls, you can also reshape the body with the help of soul power. Therefore, this condensing pearl has become a rare treasure favored by everyone in the fairy world.

It's just that now Bai Yuchan just suspects that it may be a condensing pearl when he takes something.

"This nautical chart under the Yaksha is from the handwriting of the painting saint Wu Daozi, it is said that today it is also a national treasure, it is priceless, or it is a priceless treasure, then Yang Kaiqi is really willing to do it......" Bai Yuchan said sarcastically.

"Why, you mean...... Actually, I lost money on this deal? Sheng Shoushan asked with some doubts.

"Old man, you really lost a lot!" Bai Yuchan said, and at the same time asked:

"Have you ever heard of the legend of the 'Ancient Painting of Gujing Town'?"

"No, how can you believe those things that don't exist? What's more, I am a proletarian revolutionary, how can I read those books of myths and ghosts. Shengshoushan said with some disdain.

"Alright then, I'll tell you some of the before and after of this 'Yaksha Descending Sea Chart' from the beginning, I believe you will make your own judgment after listening to it!" After Bai Yuchan glanced at Shengshou Mountain, he began to tell the story of it......

It is said that during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a large family in Xinye County, specializing in jewelry, jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., with abundant family resources, and the shopkeeper was nicknamed "Lu Bancheng". This shopkeeper Lu can read and write hyphenated, has a lot of knowledge, and often goes out to run business.

Once, when he was returning to Xinye by boat from Hankow, he encountered a strong wind on the way. When the ship anchored on the shore to avoid the wind, he saw that there was an ancient temple by the river that was very magnificent, so he took advantage of this time to go ashore for sightseeing.

When I entered the mountain gate, I saw that it was a deserted temple. I saw that the courtyard was full of barren grass and no knees, and the Buddha hall lacked doors and windows, and it was a depressed scene. When you enter the hall, the Buddha statue is crooked, the murals are peeling off, and you feel even more desolate. Out of his love for ancient calligraphy and painting, he concentrated on browsing the murals along the walls. Judging by the color of the remaining fragments, these frescoes are quite old.

He immediately became interested, took out a white handkerchief, gently wiped the dust off a piece of the broken painting, and found that the painting was not a mural, but a scroll pasted on the wall......

There is a statue of a yaksha holding a steel fork and stepping on the waves to explore the sea. Lu Bancheng's eyes couldn't help but light up: Isn't this the handwriting of Saint Wu Daozi? There is this Nakshatra on the facsimile of an ancient painting, but no one knows where the original is located. This time it's priceless. He was overjoyed, carefully put away the one-foot-square scroll, and rushed back to the ship.

Shopkeeper Lu was in a good mood, so he heated a pot of wine and sat on the bow of the boat and poured himself a drink. As he was drinking, he suddenly looked up and found a person standing next to the boat, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be a begging girl, unkempt, unclothed, holding a broken bowl in both hands, looking at the dishes on the plate, and drooling. Shopkeeper Lu was moved by compassion, so he carried her onto the boat and took the mold for her to eat. This little girl is like a starving ghost, grabbing and touching it and devouring it, and she keeps eating the meat on the plate with chopsticks.

After she had eaten and drunk enough, Shopkeeper Lu asked about her background. The little girl said that she was a local. Dad was a pig killer, and Mom died early, so she grew up eating pig offal. My father died again, and she became a child daughter-in-law for others. Because she eats meat so much, she can't eat without meat, and her husband's family said that she can't afford to feed her, so he kicked her out, so she had to live in this broken temple and beg for food.

When Shopkeeper Lu heard this, he felt even more pity; When you are alone at a young age, how can you be good when you meet a strong beast? said to her: "Little girl, begging for food is not a long way, you can be a girl for me!" How about having food, clothing, and a place to rely on? ”

As soon as the little girl heard this, she knelt down and kowtowed to thank her. Shopkeeper Lu called out the butler and took her into the rear cabin to freshen up and change clothes. After the little flower was freshened up, he brought a cup of fragrant tea to the shopkeeper Lu, and the shopkeeper Lu couldn't help but be dumbfounded! I saw that her eyebrows were clear, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and she was radiant. Shopkeeper Lu was pleasantly surprised, and immediately changed his mind and decided to accept her as a concubine.

Five days later, when he returned to Xinye County, Lu Bancheng immediately arranged the marriage and feasted the guests. As soon as the bride came out to see the ceremony, everyone was shocked and amazed. Shopkeeper Lu became more and more proud, and regarded the little lady as a treasure, everything depends on her temperament, and she didn't dare to give the moon to the stars.

This second grandmother was gentle and virtuous at first, amiable. It's just that he is very greedy when he eats, and he doesn't want to die when he sees meat, and the more he eats, the more he eats. Who knew that later, the temper suddenly became bad, and the subordinates were a little unsatisfactory, so they tore their teeth and bitten, as fierce as a beast. The servants shuddered at the sight of her. Shopkeeper Lu repeatedly persuaded him, but he was helpless.

One day, there was a guest at home, and the shopkeeper Lu asked him to cut back more than 20 catties of meat and put it in the kitchen for guests. Unexpectedly, when the cook was cooking at noon, he found that the meat was missing. Lou

When the shopkeeper found out, he was very angry and thought that he was a thief, so he interrogated his subordinates one by one. Everyone said that they only saw the second grandmother go to the kitchen in the middle of the night. He couldn't help but "giggle" in his heart, well, could it be that she stole it?

The next day, Shopkeeper Lu asked people to buy back a half-pulled pork fan, which was still in the kitchen, and he secretly hid in the dark to observe. After a while, the little beauty sneaked in

, closed the door and turned around, suddenly changed his appearance, green face and red hair, fierce eyes, five fingers like claws, and a bloody mouth. I saw it grab a half-pulled pig with its left hand, and tear off a pork leg with its right hand. Then, the teeth were torn and pulled, swallowed alive, and after a while, the half-pulled pig was eaten completely. was so frightened that the three souls of the shopkeeper Lu walked two souls, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

After the female monster patted her stomach and wiped her mouth and left, Shopkeeper Lu also rushed out of the kitchen, and teamed up with more than a dozen shop men, waving knives and guns, shouting to drive away the monster. As soon as he rushed to the door, the monster jumped out with an "oh" and roared, which frightened everyone into running and hugging their heads. Shopkeeper Lu's family all escaped and didn't dare to enter the door again.

What can I do? I heard that there was a Taoist priest with high magic skills in Qianmingguan, and the shopkeeper Lu hurriedly invited him to set up an altar to exorcise demons and subdue demons. I tossed it for three days, but I still couldn't stop it. It does not come out easily during the day, and at night it forages for food, and finally eats live pigs, sheep, cattle and horses. The Taoist priest shook his head and said to the shopkeeper Lu: "This is extraordinary, there are at least a thousand years of Taoism. It's from out of town, so my land can't control it, and I can't do anything about it! With that, he shook his hand and left.

Shopkeeper Lu had nothing to do, but calmed down. If you think about it, it's so familiar. After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered the mural. With a blue face and red hair, and a violent golden eye, could it be that this deep-sea yaksha is doing the trick? This painting is from the hand of the painting saint, and after more than a thousand years, it naturally has spirituality. They all complained that they were confused for a while, and they stole the public property of the people as their own, so that they led the werewolf room and caused this catastrophe, this is retribution!

Shopkeeper Lu couldn't regret it, so he hurriedly ran home and took out the mural that was treasured in the secret room. When I opened the package, I saw that there was still blood stains on Yaksha's mouth from gnawing on raw meat.

What to do with it? There is an octagonal glazed well nearby, which was used by Yin Lihua, the queen of Emperor Guangwu, to water flowers, which was unfathomable, and the shopkeeper Lu threw it into this well. He also had a large grinding pan be carried, and covered it on the mouth of the well, and sealed it with sand.

Gujing Town Ancient Paintings, since then, the Yaksha spirit has never appeared again.

After Bai Yuchan said this, Shengshou Mountain's face was already green, he finally knew the cause and effect of this painting, and Yang Kaiqi also said that he found this painting in a dry well......
