"Calm down, otherwise it will attract attention. Senior brother said.

His hand pressed on Gu Xiaobei's forearm, and just now he almost wanted to stun Gu Xiaobei. But in the end, the boy finally came back to his senses.

When I first saw the portrait, everyone was a little shocked. Especially the three of them in the back seat, but the shock only lasted for more than ten seconds before they regained their composure. Except for the boy on the far right, who looked pale and his lips trembled slightly, almost shouting.

Gu Xiaobei only felt that the bench under his ass had shuttled far, far away into space, and he had returned to the dim cathedral in the world in that painting. But when he came to his senses, there was no one in the church, and a faint light came in through the window above, and a beam of dust from the Tyndall effect appeared in the air.

Something seems to be wrong. The front of the church was no longer a gray-black stone wall, with rose-colored curtains hanging from the left and right, and a red-carpeted platform below it, with a pitch-black screen in the background.

An improvised stage appeared in front of him.

The curtain shimmered, and the black-and-white projectors of the old century clicked.

Gu Xiaobei looked around nervously, and suddenly found that there was suddenly an extra person beside him. Lemon-colored T-shirt with cargo shorts, slightly curly hair...... He was all too familiar with it, it was him!

"What's going on?" Gu Xiaobei asked aloud.

"It's too loud. Chaos turned his face sideways and said expressionlessly. "The movie is about to start. ”

"Yes...... Am I not in church. Gu Xiaobei continued to ask, but Chaos didn't answer him again.

Chaos reappeared, but this time the picture did not become black and white frozen in time and space, everything was just like in reality. It's just that it has been transformed into an old movie hall, and the dark red hue makes everything look extremely unreal.

He looked ahead, and the curtain finally played.

There was an old projector overhead, but the scene on the screen was clear. It's as if the real location behind that stage is in the movie.

The sky was tinted iron blue by the eruptive volcanic eruptions, and in the distance there was a rich blood-like red. Lava flowed over the mountain, and everywhere it passed was scorched black serpentine marks, mixed with the smell of sulfur and scorched earth. The red carpet and curtains on the stage were lit up in an instant, and the whole curtain was like a picture frame made of flames. The volcano almost set the sky on fire, and at the top of the mountain, the golden beast floated in the air, looking down below.

Gu Xiaobei felt that his eyebrows and hair were about to burn, and the temperature around him rose sharply. The entire church space suddenly became a large furnace. He barely dared to look the golden beast in the eyes, an ominous, strange feeling in his heart. It was as if if if he had just made eye contact with the beast, he would be burned to ashes.

"That's Phoenix. The phoenix and immortal bird in the mouth of the world, the embodiment of flame. Chaos with his hands and arms clasped suddenly spoke.

"You seem to be in a bad mood today. Gu Xiaobei asked tentatively, his chaotic voice was really a little hoarse and low, like a faintly angry beast.

"Yes?" he asked.

"With ...... It wasn't quite the same before. Will you be in trouble too?" Gu Xiaobei asked weakly, although in his eyes Chaos was almost omnipotent, like a ghost.

"That's not true, it's just to prepare for your wedding, it's too busy. Suddenly, a smile tugged at the corner of the guy's mouth.

"Rest...... Rest?"

"This is the war between Phoenix and Hanzhu 10,000 years ago, the end of fire and the source of calamity. After battling the source of evil, he was badly injured and needed Phoenix's karmic fire to repair his body. So they went to war here. When he said this, the corners of Chaos' mouth still retained that faint smile.

It was like enjoying watching the battle between the two kings.

The picture in front of me is an extension of the previous mural, the black beast in the mural, and the scene in front of me is Phoenix rising from the volcano. Somewhat different from the firebird described in the myth, Gu Xiaobei felt that the golden giant beast in front of him was more like a dragon, with lava-colored scales all over his body, a pair of sun-shielding wings spread out in the sky, and with each fan, a blazing storm swept downward.

"Chaos...... I want to ask you something. Are you ...... It's also one of them, a gluttonous and chaotic man. Gu Xiaobei asked tremblingly. He had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

The boy beside him suddenly burst out laughing, and his disdainful laughter even drowned out the sound of the earth shaking above the mountain range in front of him. But those extremely hot winds still passed through the screen and blew on the two of them.

"Is it that funny?" Gu Xiaobei was flustered by his laughter.

"It's not funny. He whispered

The laughter suddenly stopped, and all the sounds stopped, the wind visibly stopped in front of the eyes, and there was charred dust in the air.

"I'm certainly not ....... He stood up and walked straight from the red carpet avenue in the middle of the church into the great scroll.

Gu Xiaobei watched the boy in the lemon-colored T-shirt walk towards the flames in the sky. The lava from the crater rose into the sky and fell into a golden rain. Each drop was a huge fireball, dragging its tail of charred black smoke down.

I don't know why, this time, he seemed to feel that the back of the boy in front of him was a little lonely, and a sense of sadness rose in his heart. He wanted the boy to wait, but he couldn't say anything, and his throat was heavy like lead.

Until that small shadow disappeared into the curtain.

A huge fireball came out of the movie screen, engulfing the whole world—

Gu Xiaobei opened his eyes suddenly, and the sunglasses on his face had been removed. The dimly lit church is still all around, and you can see the stained glass visible when you look up. Mysterious people in pitch-black coats sat around, while to his left, senior brothers Jinglian and Guan Zijin were staring ahead.

He finally saw the mural in the center, a black beast standing on a mountain and staring at a volcano in the distance. The combination of oil painting and ukiyo-e, the two painting methods are not abrupt in this painting.

"What's going on?" he asked softly to the senior brother next to him.

"Awake?" the senior brother looked at him in surprise at first, and then explained. "This is the first item in this auction. His gaze fell on the huge mural in the distance.

The cardinal has explained in English the origin and origin of the mural. Unfortunately, this painting is not by a famous painter. But it must have its value in being able to appear in today's silent auctions.

Then, the starting price is announced. It turned out to be the currency of five million southern countries. Three million worth of RMB in terms of exchange rate.

Before I had time to be surprised that the starting price was so high, there was immediately the first person to raise a sign.

Then comes the normal course of the auction. Whenever the price stalled for growth, the cardinal on the stage would start boasting about the painting in an attempt to make people more tempted.

"Fierce ...... Fierce beast?" Gu Xiaobei asked tentatively. He wanted to see the reaction of Senior Brother and Guan Zijin.

"Do you know?" asked both of them in a low voice, turning their heads at the same time.

"...... I've seen it in the library before. Gu Xiaobei secretly said that it was not good, and he was too talkative. That black giant beast was the Han Zhu in the mouth of Chaos, and it was also a king-level fierce beast. There is a record in the library of the college, but there is no portrait.

"Who is it??, some kind of flame ghost?" Guan Zijin was trying to figure out what was on the painting.

What kind of existence makes the portrait that records it so coercive? What's even more terrifying is that the pitch-black beast in the painting seems to be looking at the volcano with fear.

Is there something more powerful in there?

Guan Zijin, who wanted to secretly take pictures of the mural with his mobile phone, was stopped by Jinglian, and the senior brother pointed to the giant eagles above. Those bright red eyes could detect movement below. Guan Zijin had no choice but to give up, and then listened quietly to the black-clothed villains bidding for the auction.

"King-level beast: 梼杌. Gu Xiaobei knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, and Senior Brother and Guan Zijin couldn't really go to the library to find out if there were any pictures with Han Qi.

As soon as these words were spoken, the hammer slowly fell.
