Bai Zhi looked at me and said to me, "The smoke drifted along that wall. Is there an exit in there? ”

I nodded: "Whether it's an exit or not, there should be a way out." Let's figure out how to open the walls. ”

Bai Zhi snorted and began to scratch around the wall, trying to find the mechanism.

But the wall was smooth and there were no mechanisms at all.

Bai Zhi was a little impatient to find it, so he simply punched it.

A large hole appeared in the wall, and it was empty at the back.

The two of us worked together to tear down the hole bigger and bigger, and then walked out.

Disappointingly, however, there was not a way out in the back, but another room.

Bai Zhi and I walked to the middle of the room and found it empty, except for a table in the middle of the room.

There were just a few pieces of paper on the table.

I picked up the piece of paper and saw it full of words. It's just that these words are weird, and I probably don't recognize them.

And Bai Zhi sighed and picked up the paper.

Then he began to look seriously.

I asked Bai Zhi, "Can you understand?" ”

Bai Zhi pretended to hum very forcefully.

I wondered, "Can you really read it?" Why do you recognize these words? ”

Bai Zhi said: "This is the word of ancient times. The renewal of our demon's text is relatively slow, not as fast as in your world, so I still know some ancient characters. ”

I nodded and asked, "What does this text mean?" ”

Bai Zhi said: "It is the life of the painter, or rather, the diary of the painter. ”

I urged him a little anxiously: "What is written in this diary?" ”

Bai Zhi said: "This diary says that the painter was originally an ordinary painter, although he was famous, but he was never able to paint famous paintings that have been handed down from generation to generation. ”

"But one day, two practitioners approached him and asked him to paint a few pictures."

"But the requirements for painting these paintings were very strange, and they first taught the painter some very strange methods, and then they gave him some special materials."

"The painter has painted these two people for many years, and he did not specifically describe the content of the painting, but it can be revealed between the lines, most of them are spiritual matters, and some even involve fairyland and the underworld."

Bai Zhi stopped at this point.

I asked Bai Zhi, "What about the back?" ”

Bai Zhi frowned: "The content behind is a bit difficult to understand. ”

He looked at it for a long time before he said, "There are some methods of painting recorded later, what is how to do qi, how to paint according to the hour, how to ...... It's messy anyway, so it doesn't matter, right? ”

I said, "These things are especially important, and you can write them down for me." ”

Bai Zhi said a little helplessly: "How can this be recorded?" No paper and no pen. ”

I looked at his fingers.

Bai Zhi: "......"

I said to Bai Zhi: "Dude, you'd better sacrifice, it's a matter of whether we can get out or not." ”

Bai Zhi sighed and said helplessly: "Why must I be sacrificed?" ”

I said, "It's useless for you to stay here anyway." ”

Bai Zhi: "......"

Bai Zhi was helpless, so he could only bite his fingers, translate those words, and write them on the wall.

Then I started to look at it.

In fact, these words are not difficult to understand, they are nothing more than some routes of qi, and then when painting, they are required to follow these routes.

Don't...... Is it possible to draw such an ancient painting in this way?

Bai Zhi read the following words: "After the painter finished painting, he once accidentally discovered that the soul could enter the painting. ”

"The artist was ecstatic, he thought that from now on, he would finally be able to make a name for himself."

"But then the painter found that it was useless to just understand how to paint, that special material was not available, and the things he painted were still just ordinary paintings."

"But only those two cultivators know how to make that kind of material, and the painter doesn't know anything about it."

"At first, he wanted to beg the practitioner to tell him how to make it, but after a few attempts, he found that the practitioner had no intention of doing so."

"Since then, the artist has had other ideas."

He began eavesdropping on the conversation between the two practitioners, trying to guess the clues from their conversation.

"Because these two people need a painter to paint, the three of them get along day and night. Over time, the painter also got some information. ”

"It turns out that these two cultivators, they got two things, one is a corpse, and the other is a book."

"At first, they were going to split it evenly. The two men worked together to consult the book, and the two men worked together to study the corpse. ”

But over time, both of them had other ideas. They all wanted to dominate the book and fly away with the corpse. ”

"These two people, wary of each other, do not trust each other. The painter's method of painting is recorded in that book, and the pigments used in painting and the production method are also in that book. ”

When I heard this, I suddenly realized, "Is the original method of painting recorded in the Golden Kui Sutra?" ”

Bai Zhi snorted: "If the book they got was really Jinkui Sutra, then it should be like this." ”

He lowered his head for a moment, then said to me, "Later, the painter risked his life and stole the book. ”

"It stands to reason that he should have taken that book with him and flew away. But he didn't have the courage to do so, he knew that if he was caught by the cultivators, he would definitely die. ”

"But he was reluctant to give up the book."

"Finally the painter came up with a solution, and he found the pages where the paint was written, and he tore them out."

"I don't know what material that book is made of, and I don't know how many years it has been stored, and it's already a little fragile."

"With a little effort, the painter tore the book into three parts."

He hid the parts related to the paint, and left the remaining halves as they were. Actually, in order to avoid the practitioner guessing that the painter did it. The part he hid included not only paint, but also something else. ”

"In this way, it is possible to confuse the public."

"The painter has already gotten what he wants, and it stands to reason that he can fly away."

But he didn't leave, because he knew in his heart that if he left at this time, it would be tantamount to not admitting himself. He had to stay, even if he pretended, he had to pretend that nothing happened. ”

So, the painter had the courage to stay. Sure enough, the two cultivators didn't doubt him. ”

"Those two cultivators have been suspicious of each other, and they both suspect that the other has taken it. But none of them have evidence, so they can only point fingers at each other. ”

In the end, the two of them fought and broke out completely. One of them left with the body, the other with the book. ”

Hearing this, I nodded slowly: "It turns out that these two cultivators didn't break up at the beginning. They also worked together for a while. ”

"That's right, the two treasures they stole together, together are definitely more valuable than separate."

"It turned out that the Jin Kui Sutra was not divided into two parts, divided into upper and lower volumes, but divided into three parts. A copy was also stolen by the artist. ”

After Bai Zhi looked at it for a while, he turned his head and said to me, "There is content related to the Golden Kui Sutra here, do you want to take a look?" ”

I nodded and walked over.

Bai Zhi handed me the paper.

It's still ancient text, and I can't read it.

I reluctantly returned the paper to him: "You should read it for me." ”

Bai Zhi began to read.

In fact, these materials are very ordinary, nothing more than the leaves of some kind of tree, the flowers of some kind of flower......

But the point is, picking leaves and flowers is not so simple.

If you want to pick it in a special place, on a specific occasion, by a specific person, as long as you make a mistake, you can't make this kind of painting.

After listening to this, I shook my head, thinking that it was too difficult, almost impossible to get all these materials together.

Bai Zhi obviously felt a bit nonsense, so he sighed.

He continued to look at the following.

Suddenly, Bai Zhi's eyes lit up and he said to me, "It turns out that the painter has hidden something. ”

I asked curiously, "What is he hiding?" ”

Bai Zhi said: "He hid some paint here. ”

"Although the two cultivators had a falling out at the beginning, they soon felt that something was wrong. They guessed that the painter was playing tricks, but they didn't bother to admit it. ”

"Anyway, the two painters didn't like each other, so they took this opportunity to stop talking to each other. However, both of them knew that the artist had the scraps of the book in his hands, so they were both looking for the artist. ”

The artist was desperate and finally hid in his own paintings. And the way he hides in the painting is also very peculiar, which is to apply paint all over his body. ”

Bai Zhi stopped at this point.

I looked at him wonderingly, "Gone?" ”

Bai Zhi said: "No, what else do you want to hear?" ”

I said, "Didn't you just say that the painter had hidden some paint?" The whereabouts of these paints are not mentioned inside. ”

Bai Zhi looked at me with a grin: "Didn't you mention it?" It's on him. ”

I was shocked: "You mean ......?"

Bai Zhi smiled slightly: "That's right, that's what I meant." ”
