Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 225: Drawing Tiger Dogs
It was a silver bell.
It is very similar to Huangquan Bell, but if you don't look closely, you can't tell the difference. The appearance of the bell is the same, especially if there is no pattern of this kind, just a monotonous silver white, and the smooth surface has no rust. But at such times, it is easy to think of what this kind of thing symbolizes.
"It's your daddy's thing?" Dai Luan was shocked, "The last semi-finished product he made was ......"
Shi Wuqi frowned and shook his head: "Your father is really a master of the arts, and he dares to agree to this kind of request." If you only restore the appearance, it is simple, and the function is not easy to say. ”
Yun Ge frowned, gritted his teeth, and his tone was extremely restrained and calm. He said slowly:
"Wrong. These are all easy to imitate, but the difficult thing is precisely the lines that can be seen clearly no matter how you turn them. ”
Cheng Yu picked up the bell, his fingertips did not move, but his wrist shook vigorously and regularly.
It is indeed a whine close to a human being. Sorrowful, desolate, like whispers from a distant world, mournful and grieved.
But it doesn't seem to be the same.
Shanhai has only heard it once, that is, with his apprentice and Mu Wan, he heard it at the house of the dead Miss Lin, and it was the bell of Ruyuejun. The sound of the Huangquan Bell is the same, except for the whimpering sound that does not belong to the bell, and the resonance caused by the six impermanent souls. The rhythm of the two is stepped together, and it can be regarded as a complete symbol.
The ...... in the hands of the Immortal What's going on? Does the bell sound like this in anyone's hand?
"How can it be considered stealing? I bought it legitimately. ”
"Someone else?"
"A change of ......, to be exact Use my damn painting. Cheng You's tone was full of reluctance, "This is taken from a serious place, and there is a way to take it." ”
"Serious place?" Yun Ge kept a straight face, "Serious places shouldn't buy stolen things. ”
Shanhai understands it. When they were still in Jintong Township, they listened to Yun Ge's meaning, and his father's relics were still on him, and they must be the bell. But was Yun Ge really still holding it at that time? Was this imitation of Huangquan Bell lost before that, or afterward, or was it not actually in his possession in the first place? Yun Ge is an honest man, and he should not have lied to them, but he didn't prove it at that time, maybe he didn't have to say much with a few strangers...... But the matter has come to this, the bell is indeed in the hand of the surname Cheng, not Yun Ge here.
"Isn't the Shadow Pavilion serious enough?" Cheng Yu asked.
"Phew." Mu Wan scolded. It should be said that for the sake of the sachet, she has a say - although it is also "voluntary".
Dai Luan pestle was silent there for a long time. She thought about it, and her thin eyebrows were twisted together. She pursed her lips and said:
"It's not quite the same."
"What?" Several people looked at him.
"That's it...... It's not the same as the real Huangquan Bell. ”
In fact, the sound was already very similar, and it was too far from the last time they heard it, and it was natural that there were discrepancies in their memories. Maybe they can tell the difference between the imitation and the real thing. After a year, can Dai Luan distinguish between fiction and reality? It's a little unbelievable, but it's convincing to think about the map she restored at the time.
"Really?" Cheng You raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes, "What do you think of that girl...... What's the difference? ”
Huang Quanling's voice was even more ...... Louder. Maybe that's a bad word, I think about it. She scratched her head, "It's clearer, it feels like you're coming from all directions." It is the sound from elsewhere that runs into the ear, not the sound running out of the bell. And you're so sad. It is true that the Huangquan Bell itself is a mournful tone, but you are like this...... Compared with unwillingness, there is a little more anger in it, I don't like it. ”
Cheng You smiled, not minding her bluntness.
"There is some truth in what you said, the real Huangquan Bell, I have indeed heard it once and will not forget it. But sound is just something that comes with it, and the most important thing is the effect. Boss Yun—" he looked over, "What kind of person do you think your father is?" ”
Yun Ge didn't know what he meant by asking, he only knew that his father died because of this man. There was undisguised hatred in his eyes, and Cheng You didn't think it was a problem. But he answered the question anyway.
"My father is an upright, conscientious, and striving for perfection, and he is a person I have admired all my life."
"Even if you stop at nothing?"
"I won't allow you to slander my father."
"Slander?" Cheng You spread out his hands, "I'm telling the truth. The craftsmanship of the divine craftsman Yun Gong is unparalleled, and he cannot make utensils that cannot be repaired. He devoted himself to his work, preoccupying himself on each work, injecting soul into them. Do you understand what I mean? Sometimes, such people will go down the path of paranoia in pursuit of perfection......"
"Shut up."
"Soul infusion? Got it? Cheng You pinched his fingers and shook the bell, there was no bell pendant in it, "Inject soul." ”
Yun Ge didn't understand what he meant at all, he just felt that he was hateful. Shan Hai faintly felt that something was wrong, and seemed to guess some vicious answer, but quickly denied it. He glanced at Dai Luan, and there was no extra information on the always stunned face. Mu Wan was also a little puzzled, but he was very close to the answer. Only Shi Wuqi truly understood what he meant—literally—that the Lord of the Hundred Bones never overestimated the moral standards of human beings.
"The soul of a human is sealed inside." He said bluntly.
Shanhai felt a flower explode in his head. It's like you're standing in front of a broken door, you know you can open it, you can guess what's behind it, but you don't dare. As a result, you did not open it, and the contents did not break out, but the door exploded on its own, burning cleanly, and everything that was hidden in the filth and dirt was revealed to you through a curtain of smoke, along with the ashes in front of you, and it was extremely filthy.
"Many souls." Cheng You's face was expressionless, and his tone was light, as if all this had nothing to do with him, in fact, there was no direct connection, "The damage to the person caused by crossing the six spiritual veins will be transferred to the bell." That kind of punishment will create the illusion that the soul sealed in the bell will be misjudged as a complete person, so that its bearer can avoid the settlement of the cost. ”
There was silence in the room.
Yun Ge's face twitched, and they were not mistaken. No one knows whether he knew about his deceased father's "tricks" or not. It may be that the truth was exposed, and he was embarrassed and angry that he failed to maintain his father's image, or he really didn't know it at all and felt that Cheng Yu was spreading rumors.
"Tell the truth!"
At the moment it appears to be the latter.
"Do you really not know, or are you pretending?" Cheng You smiled and shook his head, "It's the same...... If your father had told you this, you would have become a new craftsman, so why don't you have achieved anything so far. If you had known, it would have been impossible for you to maintain Yun Kai's reputation so much, and you would really respect him so much. ”
Yun Ge clenched his fists and slammed his fist on the cabinet at the front desk. The wooden cabinet was already old, and with the crisp sound of "click", it exploded into a big hole. The sawdust stabbed straight into the side of his hand, and in a few moments the blood spread out, but he didn't know it. His fist was embedded deep in it, as if he had been born to grow in it.
"You didn't kill someone yourself and slander my father!"
"I knew you would say that. I can't say that you have wronged me, after all, there is a limit to the souls in it. Over time, it will also be purified by silverware. So it can't store a large number of dead people at once, and it can't be left there unused. In other words, as if making offerings, new offerings should be made over and over again. If your father didn't know about such a function, how could he create such an effect? You have to use your brain and think about it. ”
Cheng You is right. These words made Yun Ge's blood surge, and his hand seemed to be embedded deeper in the groove. The others didn't dare to breathe. This is a fatal blow to a young man who has always looked to his father as a role model. Revealing the true colors of those he fears—or those closest to him—sounds cruel.
"So what do you want to do?" Shi Wuqi folded his arms, raised his head slightly, and looked at him from a higher perspective, "Shatter a young man's admiration for his deceased father? Of course you can, you can even tell the whole country, no problem. Yet I still want to say...... What are you doing here? ”
Shanhai couldn't help shaking his head, and it didn't seem to be at odds with Shi Wuqi's opinion. Mu Wan's expression was like eating a fly, not only because of the "facts" revealed by Cheng You, but also because he had once again preset him as a righteous gentleman, and walked back together. It's disgusting to think about. She pondered for a moment, questioning the words.
"Cloud shopkeeper, don't listen to his nonsense. It is also possible that he had coerced and pressured your deceased father before he died. ”
"That's right!" Dai Luan shouted, "Maybe you're threatening someone!" ”
Several pairs of eyes stared at Cheng You, like a big sharp blade. But he accepted them all, like a ball of soft cotton, absorbing all those angers. His words were a bit roundabout.
"Then why did the Six Realms of Impermanence kill only him?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"If I coerce him and he is being used by others, why do the six realms of impermanence only kill him and not me?"
Shanhai thinks this statement is not unreasonable. Could it be that the person who asked him to ring this bell back then was actually not a ghost.
As if seeing through what he was thinking, Cheng You glanced at them and answered indifferently: "Of course, this bell is indeed the one I first came to the door and asked him to forge it himself." Not much to say, the meaning behind this, you can taste it yourself. ”
They knew what he wanted to say. He clearly hinted that at the beginning, this Huangquan Bell was made voluntarily by Yun Gong. Perhaps Cheng You just came up with this tempting idea to lead him astray. And Yun Gong himself, in order to reach the peak, agreed to this absurd request.
As an honest craftsman, Yun Ge's brain doesn't turn so fast. He was silent for a long time, and then said:
"Whatever you want to say, if my father doesn't agree, you'll kill him." Yun Gong stared at his trouser legs, "The original owner of this shop, the old master, is afraid that you will also be killed by you." Because he rejected you. ”
Except for Shi Wuqi, the rest of the people gasped. Outside, he wasn't sure about one thing—he smelled a smell that wasn't from any of their own people. Now that he has been in the house for a long time, he has slowly come to a conclusion. He looked at Yun Ge, waiting for him to come to that conclusion.
"What evidence do you have?" Cheng You looked at him and didn't panic.
