The big ship sailed on the sea, still maintaining the same speed as before.

But.

At this time, no one cared whether the big ship was moving fast or slow.

The time that used to make people feel stagnant has quietly passed a lot.

At this time.

Everyone has been attracted by the story told by Guan Hu, the story of the monster named Flower and Bird Roll.

"Sister Guanhu, hurry up and continue to talk."

Yingcao urged.

"Well, where did I talk about it before?"

"Yakushi brought that picture scroll back and planned to present it to the lord of the Tsuwano Domain, Fujiwara Yoonaga."

Yingcao looked at Guan Hu and reminded her.

"Oh, I remember, after the medicine man brought the painting back, he was worried that Fujiwara Yonaga would know about it and kill himself. So I decided to dedicate the painting to Fujiwara Yonaga, so that I could still get some reward.

Yakushi came to Fujiwara Yoonaga's house and met Fujiwara Yonaga himself through the guidance of the guards.

Fujiwara Yonaga appears to be a burly man with thick hair like wild boar hair. Just by looking at it, people can feel that he must be a grumpy person.

'Why are you coming to me?' ’

Fujiwara Yonaga asked, with obvious impatience in his voice, after all, a character like a medicine man is always related to illness. And Fujiwara Yonaga is in good health.

'Can you remove these guards, I want to offer you a strange treasure.' ’

The pharmacist said.

The reason why the medicine man made such a request was undoubtedly to make Fujiwara Yonaga even more convinced that the thing in his hand was a very precious treasure.

Fujiwara Yonaga waved his hand, and there was a hint of interest in his eyes. After all, there are only two kinds of people who will propose to remove the guards, in general.

One is that there are really good things to give to yourself.

The other is to murder themselves.

Either way, for Fujiwara Yonaga, he is very much looking forward to it.

Life has been quiet for a long time.

The pharmacist in front of him looks weak, if he is here to murder himself. It should also be able to be easily subdued, and you can torture him well when the time comes.

Such...... Maybe it's going to be funny.

"Lord Domain, I wonder if you have the patience to tell me a story first?" ’

The pharmacist asked respectfully.

Keep it short. ’

Fujiwara Yonaga said.

The medicine man then began to talk about what he had encountered in the mountains, the white bones of the girl looking at the scroll, and the fact that he had entered the painting and peeked at the beautiful girl.

'The lord of the feudal lord probably won't believe it, right?' After all, something like this does sound incredible. But I brought that strange picture with me. ’

Yakushi looked at the feudal lord and said to him.

At this time, Yakushi saw that the feudal lord was attracted by the story he told, and he began to become confident.

After all.

Beautiful women are always what every man desires, and the lord of the domain is also a man, so naturally he will not be uninterested.

Is there really such a beautiful girl? ’

Fujiwara Yonaga looked at the painter and asked him.

"Well, lord of the domain, this is the picture scroll I took out of that house. ’

The medicine man's scroll was taken out and slowly unfolded, and the first thing that appeared was some beautiful flowers and birds flying in the air. And then there's a beautiful fairyland-like scene.,And the girl who occupies most of the picture.。

Fujiwara Yonaga froze.

As the lord of the Tsuwano Domain, he had seen many beautiful women, but those women were only said to be beautiful, but they couldn't be so obsessed that they couldn't help themselves.

And the girl in this painting is difficult to look away from just one glance.

Is there really such a beautiful woman in the world?' ’

Fujiwara Yonaga muttered.

Fujiwara Yonaga kept staring at the picture scroll, standing demented for a long, long time. Knowing that Yakushi had put the scroll away, Fujiwara Yonaga began to come back to his senses.

'Tell me, how did you get into the painting before?' Is there really that girl in the painting? ’

Fujiwara Yonaga looked at Yakushi and asked him.

At this time, Fujiwara Yonaga's voice was urgent, and it was clear that he had been attracted to the painting.

Of course.

He may ...... I just want to go to the painting, find the girl, and play with her.

But.

Regardless of Fujiwara Yonaga's purpose, Yakushi has already achieved his purpose.

Now Yonaga Fujiwara has come to believe what he is told.

Then, Fujiwara Yonaga will definitely reward himself for coming to present a painting.

'The way to get into the painting is simple, just keep staring at the painting. ’

The pharmacist replied.

When the medicine man saw the scroll in the room before, he only stared at the girl in the painting. Then I unconsciously entered the painting.

'Okay, I got it. This painting is really a treasure, you have contributed to the painting, wait for me to let the guards reward you with some silver taels. If there is such a treasure in the future, you must also dedicate it to me. ’

Fujiwara Yonaga took the scroll from the medicine man's hand and said.

The medicine man returned to his home with the silver tael that Fujiwara Yonaga had rewarded, and the money would indeed allow him not to go to those dangerous places to collect medicine for a long time. ”

Guan Hu stopped here, and then took a few sips of water from the side.

"Whew, I've told so much in one breath, it's been a long time since I've told a story like this."

Guan Hu took a long breath.

"This isn't the end of the story, is it?"

The woman on the other side of the curtain asked softly, probably thinking that this story was not complete enough.

"Well, it's really not over yet. But let me take a breath of relief. ”

Guan Hu said.

Guan Hu took a short break, and during this period, everyone also began to discuss some things in the story.

"Fujiwara Yonaga is a bad person, right? I thought that Yakushi would be killed by Fujiwara Yonaga if he went to offer a painting. ”

Yingcao said.

"Although he is a bad person, Fujiwara Yoei is not the kind of person who likes to kill. And if you kill the person who came to hand in the treasure, you can get the treasure without spending a penny. But no one will contribute to him anymore. ”

Guan Hu looked at Yingcao and explained to her.

"However, if that painting is a youkai, and the lord of the feudal domain enters the painting and wants to force the girl, will he be punished when the time comes?"

Zashiki asked.

"Well, when the lord of the feudal lord entered the painting, he just wanted to have a relationship with the girl."

Guan Hu said.

"But if it's punishment, there's no need for the youkai to punish him. After all, even though he's a bad guy, that's only relative to humans. ”

Guan Hu continued.

During this time, everyone discussed a lot of issues, and Guan Hu also clearly sorted out the remaining stories in his mind.

Although these stories are well known to Guan Hu, if you want to tell them, you still need some arrangements.

After all.

If you just say what you know, it will be very cluttered. It doesn't sound interesting to others.

After Yakushi returned, Fujiwara Yonaga took the scroll back to his bedroom, intending to enter the painting to find the beautiful girl.

'You go and sleep in another room, and you are not allowed to come in without my permission.' ’

Fujiwara Yonaga said to his wife.

Fujiwara Yonaga's wife is also a noble-born woman, who has been in the boudoir all the year round, has a fair appearance, is well-read, and can be regarded as a rare beautiful woman.

Fujiwara Yonaga also made his wife because of his wife's appearance.

But.

Over time, I don't think she is beautiful anymore, and the relationship between the two gradually cools.

Fujiwara Yoonaga's wife obediently walked out and went to sleep in the next room.

Fujiwara Yonaga quickly locked the door, then unfolded the scroll and hung it on the wall.

The beautiful girl in the painting reappeared, and Fujiwara Yonaga looked at the girl in the painting in a daze.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Now.

Fujiwara Yonaga no longer has the concept of time in his mind, and in order not to let others see the scene of himself staring at a painting in a daze. Fujiwara Yonaga also deliberately closed the doors and windows.

The whole room was very dark, except for a lamp that illuminated the picture next to the flowers.

In those hazy light, the boundaries between the picture scroll and reality became more and more blurred.

'Why is it getting darker?' ’

I don't know when it started, the light in the room became darker and darker. Such a thought flashed through Fujiwara Yonaga's heart, but he didn't care. I thought it was because I was too focused looking at the girl in the painting.

Soon, though.

The light was so dark that he couldn't even see the painting clearly, and Fujiwara Yonaga realized at this time that maybe the lamp oil was running out.

Reach through the wall, then touch the lamp and refill it with some oil. ”

……

The moon rose from the sea, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the sea, making everyone in the cabin feel a chill.

Guan Hu suddenly stopped talking, and then said with a mysterious expression: "Fujiwara Yonaga stretched out his hand, but instead of touching the wall that was originally in front of him, he touched a cold, soft thing. ”

"What did he touch?"

Zashiki asked.

Fujiwara Yonaga was not frightened at the time, he felt that he might have touched the girl in the painting.

The girl's body may be this kind of touch.

And.

The only thing that Fujiwara had before Yonaga and the wall was that picture scroll. ”

"Ah, he really touched that girl, right?"

Yingcao said with some dissatisfaction.

Apparently.

Yingcao didn't want that girl to be touched by Fujiwara Yonaga, after all, that girl was so beautiful and holy.

And Fujiwara Yonaga is just a tyrannical feudal lord who killed his own brother.

"Not really. What he touched was his brother's corpse, and it was still the same as when he killed him.

Fujiwara Yonaga quickly touched something that looked like a hand, and then went up along his arm, trying to touch the girl's face.

But.

It was only when Yonaga Fujiwara touched his neck that he realized that something was wrong.

Because, there is some slimy stuff on the neck, and there are obvious cuts.

Fujiwara Yonaga hurriedly got up.

Then he drew his knife and slashed around, as if the curtain had been cut by a sharp blade. A miserable white light shone in, and the scene in front of him was clearly displayed in front of Fujiwara Yonaga's eyes.

It's still the room where he is, and on the wall is the picture scroll of a beautiful girl.

The girl's green silk is like a waterfall, her eyes are rippling, and she still looks holy.

And it's on the wall below the scroll.

Leaning against a pale-skinned man, as if blood had been drained from his body.

This man Fujiwara Yonaga couldn't be more familiar......"

"Why did my brother's body end up in his house?"

Zashiki asked.

"It's not a real corpse, but at this moment Fujiwara Yoei is really in the painting.

It's just that.

The scene of this painting made him unable to distinguish between reality and painting. ”

Guan Hu looked at Zashiki and explained to her.

When Fujiwara Yonaga felt the light gradually dimming, he was actually slowly entering the painting.

In reality, the lights are still on, and they are not extinguished because the lamp runs out of oil.

"Is that so?"

Zashiki boy sighed.

"So how did he come out of the painting?"

Zashiki continued to ask.

After discovering that there was a body of his brother in his room, Fujiwara Yonaga began to think of a way to rebury the body.

Although the old feudal lord is dead now, if you let others know that he killed your brother.

Then the loyal generals who followed the old feudal lord before would definitely not continue to follow him, and went to Fujiwara Yoshikiyo of the Yoshinaga Domain. At that time, Fujiwara Yokiyo's power had grown, and he would definitely take the entire territory of Iwami Province for himself. ”

"It's not easy to be a bad person. Always worry about these things. ”

Zashiki said slowly.

"Well, bad people feel that others are just as bad as they are because they are bad. So, it's true that there are a lot more things to worry about than we ordinary people. ”

Guan Hu replied.

In fact.

This is the way this world is, people with light in their hearts will always look at others with a bright eye.

And those who appear to be sinister.

You will feel that others will violate you, so you are always worried about these people around you.

Fujiwara walked out with the corpse on his back, and finally came to a cave.

Fujiwara Yonaga hid his body in a cave.

And he himself went from the cave to the real world......

When Fujiwara Yonaga returned to the real world, the corpse in the room had disappeared.

But.

He didn't know that he had come to the real world and the body was missing.

So.

Fujiwara Yonaga has always felt that he has never entered the painting realm at all. And the story told by the medicine man was just to deceive him and try to fool him. ”

"In that case, wouldn't that pharmacist be dangerous? By the way, there's Fujiwara Yokiyo. Fujiwara Yonaga must have felt that this incident was planned by Fujiwara Yoshiyo from beginning to end, right? After all, the younger brother was killed by the two of them together. And putting the body in his room, if you do so, it will only be beneficial to Fujiwara Yokiyo. ”

Zashiki said worriedly.

"Well, that's true."

Guan Hu replied.
