Chapter 16: Flying Dreams

After lunch, Qi Lu and Lao Wu went to Wei Donglin's house, after all, the two disagreed on the haunting of Lao Wei's house, and Qi Lu decided to find a breakthrough from Wei Hua.

When he came to Wei Donglin's house, Qi Lu found that Shu Jiao was also accompanying Wei Hua, and hurriedly smiled and signaled: "Xiao Shu, why are you here?" ”

"Tomorrow is the day of Zhao Gang's funeral, and I came to agree with Wei Hua to go to the funeral home tomorrow to see him off for the last time. In addition, the band now has no drummers, and we are in discussions to find a new candidate. ”

"yes, it's a bit of a shame that such a good band broke up." Qi Lu sighed with emotion.

Wei Donglin made them tea, took out some snacks, and everyone sat on the sofa and chatted.

Wei Donglin first expressed his gratitude to Qi Lu, and then asked him if there was any other purpose for visiting him today.

"I'm here to paint." Qi Lu winked at Lao Wu, and Lao Wu took out the painting of a lady and handed it to Wei Donglin.

"Ah, this demon painting, Mr. Qi should destroy it!" Wei Donglin's face turned pale, and he hurriedly resigned with both hands.

Qi Lu chuckled, turned his head and asked Wei Hua, "Xiao Wei, do you also agree with me destroying this painting?" ”

"I ......" Wei Hua hesitated, and he could see that he was very conflicted.

Qi Lu smiled and said, "It seems that you don't agree with your father's opinion?" ”

Wei Donglin was anxious, and scolded his son loudly: "Are you still obsessed? Don't you realize until you lose your life? ”

Wei Hua's face flushed, he lowered his head and didn't make a sound, and Shu Yao whispered to persuade him beside him.

Lao Wu and Qi Lu glanced at each other before speaking, "Master Wei, don't blame your son. The supernatural phenomena we saw revealed in the painting before were due to the fact that those evil spirits possessed the painting. Now those evil spirits have been overtaken by us, so there is no problem with the ancient painting itself, so please take back this painting. ”

"Is that what it is?" Wei Donglin looked at Qi Lu suspiciously, and when he saw the noncommittal expression on his face, he suddenly hesitated in his heart.

Lao Wu knew that he had palpitations, so he unfolded the scroll and put it on the table and said, "Everyone, please see, is the painting very normal?" ”

"Dai eyebrows and pink lips, face like peach blossoms, what a beauty!" Shu Jiao saw this painting for the first time, and when she saw the woman playing the piano in this painting, she felt a sense of intimacy, perhaps because they were all musicians.

"Dad, what Uncle Wu said makes sense, let's leave the painting." Wei Hua was asking for his father's opinion.

"Regardless of whether there is a problem with the painting, even if Mr. Qi does not destroy it, I will go to the antique market tomorrow and sell it to others, and I can't keep it at home anyway." Wei Donglin's attitude was very resolute, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

"Dad!" Wei Hua became excited.

"Xiaowei, is there something you haven't told us about this painting?" Qi Lu's expression suddenly became serious, he had been carefully observing every subtle change in Wei Hua's face just now.

"I ......" Wei Hua hesitated again.

"What's the matter, don't you tell Mr. Qi quickly!" Wei Donglin also realized that his son was hiding something from him, and couldn't help but think of the female ghost figure floating out of the window.

"This painting ......" Wei Hua's face suddenly became very pale, and his gaze was dodging.

When Wei Donglin saw his son like this, he immediately knew that Qi Lu's guess was not groundless, he was so angry that he stood up and wanted to slap his son, but Qi Lu hurriedly stopped him.

"Master Wei, dissipate your anger, young people are not sensible, why should you care about him." Lao Wu hurriedly pulled him to sit down.

Qi Luxiao said to Wei Hua: "Xiaowei, is there anything you can't tell us, or are you unwilling to make me a friend?" ”

Shu Yao also persuaded on the side: "If you have something, just say it, and you are not afraid of panic if you hold it in your heart!" ”

His girlfriend's words had weight in his heart, Wei Hua's attitude suddenly softened a lot, he glanced at his father a little nervously, and said, "Dad, you won't blame me for saying it, right?" ”

"Tell Mr. Qi if you have something, Dad will never blame you."

With his father's consent, Wei Hua intermittently talked about the hidden mysteries in this painting.

Since Wei Donglin and his son returned home from a trip to Hainan, Wei Hua began to have strange dreams every night, in which a beautiful woman came to meet him every night.

Hearing this, Shu Yao couldn't help but smile and asked in a teasing tone: "You and her, won't you be doing that every night?" ”

"It's gone!" Wei Hua blushed and hurriedly confessed to his girlfriend.

Qi Lu was taken aback, and hurriedly pointed to the woman playing the piano in the painting and asked, "Is it the woman who appeared in the dream?" ”

"I don't know." Wei Hua shook his head and said: "The woman in the painting can't see her face clearly with her head half-down, and I can't confirm that the two are the same person." ”

"Sure enough, there are demons!" Wei Donglin hurriedly screamed, he finally understood that the figure he saw floating out of the window every night was not an illusion.

Qi Lu said calmly: "Old Wei, don't worry, let's listen to Wei Hua first." ”

Spit out the secret that had been buried in his heart for a long time, Wei Hua's expression was no longer nervous, he took a sip of tea, and told everyone about this matter as it was.

The woman who appeared in the dream claimed to be a fairy who was deceitful, and her real body was sealed in this painting, because Wei Hua inadvertently lifted the seal after buying back this painting, so in order to repay his kindness, she showed up to help Wei Hua.

"Help you?" Qi Lu was stunned, this was a result he didn't expect. It sounded very similar to the accidents of those immortals in the world who repaid their kindness, but Qi Lu didn't believe that it would happen to Wei Hua, so he asked again: "How can she help you?" ”

Wei Hua said: "She knew that I was practicing the guitar, so she taught me the guitar playing skills in her dreams. ”

"Ah, I said how you can improve your skills by leaps and bounds in just a few months, it turns out that it is her credit!" Shu Yao looked surprised, and then took Wei Hua's hand and said, "Why don't you ask the fairy and let her teach me too?" ”

"No way." Wei Hua said a little sadly: "She no longer appears in my dreams." ”

"Missing?" Qi Lu hurriedly asked, "When did it start?" ”

"From the day Mr. Qi first came to my house, she has never appeared again."

"Oh, do you know why?"

"The day before you visited, she told me in a dream that she was going back to heaven after teaching the guitar in her dream, saying that she was done with me and that she was going back to the heavenly realm."

This was a reasonable reason, but Qi Lu didn't believe the fairy's words, he felt that this mysterious woman had fled because of his arrival.

"Ah, Amitabha! Thankfully, this nasty youkai is finally gone! Wei Donglin breathed a sigh of relief, he drew a cross on his chest, and thanked the Buddha vigorously.

Qi Lu saw that he was chanting Buddha in his mouth, but his hand was a Christian gesture, and he was immediately attracted by this funny action. He was busy not turning his head, so as not to let Wei Donglin see the smile on his face.

"Dad, she never hurt me!" Wei Hua never believed that this kind fairy was a monster.

"You know what! There are many ways for monsters to harm people, think about what it's like to start touching people! Wei Donglin taught his son a lesson.

Qi Lu was shocked when he heard this, and he had to admit that Wei Donglin's words were very reasonable.

I've seen some of the yokai who are good at confusing people's hearts before, and when they first appear, they usually appear as helping the weak, but this doesn't mean that these youkai are good people, they are just waiting for the most favorable time. At that time, the true face of evil will be revealed and the victim's life will be taken.

Will Wei Hua encounter this type of monster? Qi Lu was not sure, after all, she had not harmed Wei Hua so far, and she had no evidence to support her judgment in her heart.

Qi Lu thought for a while, and then asked, "When you were dating her, did she reveal her background to you?" ”

"I once asked her, and she said that she was a goddess of the heavenly realm."

"Qianmi?" Qi Lu was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at Lao Wu again.

In Buddhism, Gandharva belongs to one of the eight divisions of the heavenly dragon, and is also the god of heaven under the command of Shakti in Hindu mythology. In China, they have an even more moving image, that is, Feitian.

This god is said to be in charge of music, and is not only good at changing forms, but also proficient in music and playing all kinds of wonderful music. Therefore, the Emperor Shakti ordered Gandharva to play beautiful music for the gods in her palace to spread joy and good fortune.

If this is the case, then many of the doubts in Qi Lu's heart have a reasonable explanation.

At the beginning, he was surprised that Wei Donglin was entangled in death but was safe, it turned out that there was a Qianyan woman in the family who was protecting him, so the evil spirits could not approach. Although Wei Hua provoked the evil ghost in the cave, it was also because of Qianminpo, the evil ghost could not harm him, so he had to find his companion Zhao Gang to vent his anger.

It is further speculated that it was Qianminpo who left the Wei family, so those evil ghosts dared to take revenge on Wei Hua and Shu Yao unscrupulously and regain the lost relics.

Just when Qi Lu began to believe that this mysterious woman was a Qianmin woman, Wei Donglin's words to teach his son at this time made him puzzled again.

"You bastard boy is confused again, have you seen that fairy live in the grave?"

Yes, how could God live in mass graves! Wei Donglin's words alerted Qi Lu, and he re-examined the identity of this mysterious woman.

Wei Hua was about to refute his father's words, but when he heard Shu Yao suddenly exclaim, he hurriedly stopped talking, and instead took his little hand and asked his girlfriend why she was nervous.

"I ...... I saw the woman playing the piano in the painting suddenly raise her head and wink at me. ”

As she spoke, her eyes stared directly at the woman in the painting, and her face changed abruptly, and after a burst of blue and red, there was no trace of blood on her face, as if she saw not a beautiful woman but a man-eating ghost.

"What!" Qi Lu couldn't help but be surprised, he subconsciously looked towards the ancient painting, but he couldn't find any vision, and there was no trace of any aura in the air.

"Are you sure you didn't see dazzles?"

"I don't know...... Maybe I heard Wei Hua's story and hallucinated in my heart. Shu Yao calmed down, and saw that the ancient painting was as usual, and the person also hesitated, unable to determine the signs he had just seen.

Qi Lu regretted a little in her heart, she should have brought Ding Xiaolan here today, because she had also told herself that she had seen the supernatural phenomenon that He Shu Yao had seen.

But a new question surfaced in Qi Lu's mind, why didn't he and others, even Wei Hua, who had been in contact with the mysterious woman, feel such a strange phenomenon?

Don't...... An even stranger idea came to him, and that was that this ancient painting only had an effect on women, and had no reaction to men.

Thinking of this, Qi Lu hurriedly took the painting in his hand and examined it carefully, hoping to discover the mystery in it.

Unexpectedly, when Qi Lu picked up the painting, the ancient painting burst into flames without warning, followed by curling smoke.
