Chapter 55: The Treasure House in the Painting

Outside the bluestone city, a wide avenue extends outward from the city gate, and black trees are planted on both sides of the avenue, the branches are crooked, the body and leaves of the trees are pitch black, and from a distance, it looks like a demon with its minions.

The avenue stretches for dozens of miles, and beyond is the black soil full of gravel, the black soil is dry and hard, and not a single plant survives on the black soil. The black earth seems to be the main component of this boundary, and thousands of miles beyond that land is covered with this black soil.

Thousands of miles away from Bluestone City, a cyan strange bird stood on top of the black soil, slashed down hard, and when it raised its head again, it had a fat black insect in its beak, and there was a trace of black gas on the insect's body. At this time, the gravel on the ground shook slightly, and the strange bird quickly stretched out its wings and flew upwards as if it was frightened.

A moment later, there was a dull and hurried sound of footsteps, which were overwhelming and rumbling. Then a large group of yellow strange cows appeared, and the horns of this group of strange cows were unusually thick, and the horns were black and had cracks, and flames erupted from them from time to time at the cracks. Although the number of cattle is only a few thousand, the damage caused is not to be underestimated, where the cattle passed, the black earth was trampled through the cracks in the road, and the direction of these cattle was Bluestone City.

And in Bluestone City, the very few people who can foresee the herd are preparing countermeasures.

There is no statue of a god in the temple, but in the center of it, there is an incense burner, from which a few wisps of light smoke rise. Directly in front of the incense burner is a wooden table, on which three clay pots, one large, two and two small. On the wall behind the desk hangs a portrait of a middle-aged man with a red beard and hair, wielding flames to fight the hideous-looking demons around him.

In addition, there are no chairs in this room, which does not match the quaint and mysterious decoration outside.

When Chen An entered, Qian Wanneng was talking to the old man, Qin Shaoyan stood in front of the wooden table and looked at the portrait, standing obediently behind the old man, and when he caught a glimpse of Chen An coming in, his little head immediately turned to the side.

Chen An chuckled, disapproving, he looked at the room a few times curiously, and said that it was really simple enough. Yi Yixu saw through Chen An's thoughts, and when Chen An's eyes met with her, he gave a big white eye.

"Hey, Old Man Zhao, I heard Tie Niu say that you are looking for me, what is the matter. At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and everyone looked and saw a young man in a coarse robe walking inside. The man's stature was not high, his sleeves were rolled up, the exposed muscles were high and bulging, very strong, and his face was still stained with pitch-black stains, as if he had done something halfway and came in a hurry.

"Uncle Zhao Hu. Yiyi shouted to the man, and the young man known as Zhao Hu greeted him with a smile. Only then did I hear the old man say, "Zhao Hu, you go and open the inner hall." Zhao Hu was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes inadvertently glanced at Chen An and the three people on the side, and he was embarrassed: "Old man, this..."

The old man smiled and said, "It's okay, these three distinguished guests are their own people, you can believe it." Qin Shaoyan frowned slightly, and the old man's address to the three of them quietly changed, and he no longer called the Holy Envoy. Zhao Hu looked at Chen An and the others in surprise when he heard this, then walked straight to the wooden table, took out a delicate knife with a cold light from his arms, and cut it at the finger of his other hand.

Blood dripped down the wooden table and landed on the lid of the large clay pot in the middle, seeping directly into the clay pot. Then the crockpot began to glow red, dazzling and hot. At the same time, the middle-aged man in the painting on the wall moved, he opened his mouth and spit out, and a small object was spit out of his mouth, and then the object turned into an inch-long palace in the painting, and fell on the palm of the middle-aged man.

The old man walked up to the portrait and said to Qian Wanneng: "There are some things that are inconvenient to talk about outside, and please go inside to talk about them." Qian Wanneng was already accustomed to the old man's cautious style at this time, and nodded lightly, Qin Shaoyan was quite interested in this small palace, and he stepped forward to look at the small palace curiously.

"How to get in. Qin Shaoyan asked the old man, who stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Just go forward." Qin Shaoyan laughed, walked towards the painting, the palace door was wide open, emitting a clear divine light from inside, Qin Shaoyan kept walking forward, but his figure slowly became smaller, until the light faded, and Qin Shaoyan's figure also disappeared in the painting.

"Brother Qian, Chen An, come in quickly, there is something else going on here. Qin Shaoyan's voice came from the painting, and Qian Wanneng heard the words and said with a smile: "This is coming." After speaking, he did not act, but still made a gesture towards the old man. "Old man, I respect the old and love the young, please first. ”

Yi Yi is simple, but he can also see that Qian Wanneng still has some precautions at this time, and he can't help but be a little annoyed, "This is the temple of our clan, the most sacred, even if the city lord wants to come over to worship, we don't agree, why don't you trust it at all." ”

"Yiyi, don't talk nonsense. The old man stomped his cane twice, and there was no reproach in his eyes. Qian Wanneng didn't answer Yiyi, but looked at the old man, and said with a smile: "The little girl's nature is too simple, the old man will have to worry more in the future." ”

The old man smiled bitterly: "This child has grown up under our protection since she was a child, and she doesn't have many bad intentions, plus her brothers and uncles have always spoiled her, where can she experience any sinister things in the world." After speaking, his eyes looked at Zhao Hu intentionally, Zhao Hu smiled and scratched his head embarrassedly.

The old man continued to say to Qian Wanneng: "Shicai has collided with you, please don't mind." Qian Wanneng's face showed an expression full of indifference: "As a businessman, the most important thing is integrity, but what you did before made me unable to see through and couldn't believe you." At this time, Qian Wanneng looked at the old man, and the old man smiled bitterly.

Qian Wanneng spread his hands and continued: "But it doesn't matter, this is always a transaction, as long as you and I get what we want in the end." So, please be honest with the old man. The old man hurriedly nodded yes, "Please rest assured, after the matter is completed, the old man will lend the teleportation array to you for use." ”

Qian Wanneng hummed and did not speak, his eyes still looking at the old man. The old man was stunned for a moment, and then knew that Qian Wann was not at ease with himself, so he wanted to let himself enter the painting first, and said with a wry smile: "It's not that the old man is cheating, the world in this painting will not close by itself, and I am afraid that someone will sneak in and listen to it if it is open all the time." Therefore, it needs to be the last one to go in before it can be closed. ”

Qian Wanneng raised his eyebrows: "Why, the old man can't relax in his own territory." The old man replied: "After too much time, people's hearts will change." Qian Wanneng nodded, turned his head and shouted at Chen An: "Chen An, you go in with this Yiyi girl first." ”

Yiyi had an unpleasant quarrel with Chen An just now, and she was awkward in her heart, and when she heard Qian Wanneng's proposal, she immediately had to refute it out loud. But I heard the old man agree: "Yes." Yiyi turned her head to look at the old man, and the old man also looked at her, with majesty in his eyes. I had no choice but to stand in front of the painting.

Chen An was not awkward, he stepped forward and stood next to Yiyi, Xu was a little close, and Yiyi moved to the side unnaturally.

"Go ahead. The old man said, Chen An nodded, and walked towards Qin Shaoyan's example. With a "bang", Chen An's head hit the wall directly, and the force of the shock made him sit on the ground, "Ouch, why can't this go in." Chen An covered his head and shouted.

Seeing Chen An's embarrassed appearance, Yiyi covered her mouth and chuckled, and whispered to herself: "What a fool." "Poof", Zhao Hu couldn't hold back, laughed out loud, and then was stopped by a glare from the old man, but he still covered his mouth, turned around, and his shoulders shook slightly.

Qian Wanneng covered his face, and said in his heart that this kid didn't understand anything. Yiyi slowly stepped forward, bowed her head and said to Chen An, "You get up first." Chen An was a little ashamed, and hurriedly stood up, Yiyi continued: "Spread out your spiritual power and concentrate it on the door of the palace. Then come with me. After speaking, Yiyi walked forward, at this time the light in the painting was shining, Yiyi turned her head and smiled at Chen An, and in an instant it was like a hundred flowers blooming, Chen An couldn't help but be a little distracted.

Yiyi wanted to beckon Chen An to come over and go in together, but when she saw Chen An's confused look, she shook her head, turned around and disappeared into the portrait. "What's the fuss, don't go in yet. Qian Wanneng slapped Chen An on the back, and Chen An didn't have time to react, so he was slapped into the painting by Qian Wanneng.

The imaginary whirlwind did not happen, Chen An only felt as if he had been thrown down from the sky, constantly falling downward. Until he saw a white light appear in front of him, the white light was dazzling, Chen An couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, and when he came back to his senses, his feet had already stepped on the ground.

"Chen An, why did you come, money can help them. A warm voice came, Chen An opened his eyes, and saw Qin Shaoyan half-squatting in front of him, stretching out a hand and handing it to him. Chen An grabbed the hand handed over by Qin Shaoyan and stood up.

"Brother Qian asked me to come in first, he said...". Before he finished speaking, Chen An was so shocked by the scene in front of him that he couldn't speak. A magnificent building stood in front of him, red all around, and there were many stone pits of various sizes on the outer walls, and a few stone pits were inlaid with gems that radiated various colors. In contrast, the other pits seem to have been formed after someone had forcibly withheld the gemstones.

A red dragon was wrapped around the palace, and the dragon head was facing the temple gate, bowing its head and staring closely at the front of the temple gate. The gate of the temple under the dragon's head is made of two stones of unknown material, and the flame burns on the door, which is majestic and ancient.

"My God, such a magnificent, old man, which saint's belongings have you stolen. Qian Wanneng exclaimed, there was also an old man who appeared with him, but Zhao Hu did not follow aside.

"This is the treasure house of the old family, not the belongings of a saint. The old man's face turned dark, and it was not easy to have a seizure, so he calmed down and said slowly. "Tut-tut, this gem is superb in both color and texture, and there is even a hidden fire attribute in it. Old man, you can't sell this stone. Qian Wanneng climbed onto the wall at some point, and he buckled a gem and looked at it.

"Hey, come down, why don't you take other people's things casually. Yiyi was very angry, as soon as the annoying fat man in front of him came, he grabbed a gem on the wall of the palace gate, and from time to time he deducted a gemstone, saying that he was helping to identify the quality, but after speaking, he went straight to his arms, and his movements were as skilled as his peers.

Hearing this, Qian Wanneng blushed a little, he jumped down from the wall with unfinished intentions, got up and touched the stone pit on the wall, smacked his lips, and said with some regret: "It would be nice if these gems were still there, I still have a lot of experience in appreciating treasures." Yiyi was a little happy in her heart at this time, fortunately most of the gems were gone, otherwise I don't know how much this fat man would have to take.

Qian Wanneng looked at the old man, the old man covered his forehead, and then said, "These are the deposits that were given to you at that time." Yiyi pouted and stomped her feet heavily in anger.

After the old man entered the space in the painting, as if he had changed into a different person, he put away his crutches, straightened his waist, walked to the temple door like a fly, and then bit his fingers, blood squeezed out of his fingers, and floated into the air. The old man's fingers flew, and he made a series of magic decisions in the air. The law duel rushed straight to the dragon's head through the blood. The degree of swiftness in this series of actions is not inferior to that of the sturdy young man, and Chen An and the three of them were stunned for a while.

The dragon head on the temple door seemed to come to life, it shook its head slightly, and then a hot red light shone through its eyes, shining on the people below. Chen An only felt as if his body was being illuminated by the sun, but this distance was not far away. The red light is fleeting, if there is one more breath. Chen An felt that the blood in his whole body would be evaporated by this red light.

Then the dragon head was high, and the door of the temple slowly opened. The light of the Tao emanated from inside, and Qian Wann, who had been dealing with all kinds of treasures for a long time, was most familiar with the treasures of heaven and earth. At this moment, he felt that his body and mind were refreshed, "There must be a treasure here!" Qian Wanneng said firmly.

At the same time, his heart was more cautious, and he did not lose his mind because of the treasure. As for Qin Shaoyan, he has always been known for his elegance, and for those golden treasures, Qin Shaoyan is not interested. The treasure house was wide open, and his eyes lit up for a moment, and then he didn't look very interested.

Yiyi was already surprised, she turned her head to look at Chen An, who had a wide mouth and an incredible face, and felt a little proud in her heart.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please. The old man now has no previous gloomy appearance, he has become energetic, the spots on his face have gradually disappeared, and even his face has become a little ruddy.

"Old man, who are you?" Qian Wanneng asked curiously, the old man laughed, and then replied: "Since I promised you outside just now, I want to answer all your questions." The old man didn't hide it. But please come in, the old man will prepare the wine, and then I will listen to you. ”

Yiyi pursed her lips, and said in her heart that this old man is obviously very tough, and he always likes to pretend to be dying, and even uses essence blood to open the treasure house, let Zhao Hu do it, he is really a bad old man.

Qian Wanneng and Qin Shaoyan are both good wine people, and when they heard that there was good wine, they naturally agreed with 10,000. Although Chen An and Yiyi were not interested in the things of yellow soup, among the people, their opinions were irrelevant, and they could only listen obediently.

Qin Shaoyan took the lead in stepping in, and Qian Wanneng behind him enthusiastically hugged the old man and talked happily, and entered together. Chen An came back to his senses at this time, he turned his head to look at Yiyi, and saw that Yiyi was also looking at him at this time, and just wanted to speak. Seeing him coming, Yiyi snorted heavily, turned his head, put his hands behind his back, and jumped towards the temple door. Chen An touched his nose, followed behind Yiyi, and walked towards the hall.
