Chapter 53: The Master
There was no one in the corridor on the second floor, and the family rested in the heavy rain.
Li Damin quickly found the steps leading to the rooftop, and we followed the stairs to the top. The door to the rooftop was open, and it was raining heavily, there was no wind, and the temperature was a little cool.
In the canopy not far away, there was a girl sitting in front of the easel, holding a color palette in one hand and a paintbrush in the other, staring at the Yangtze River in the heavy rain in a daze.
Li Damin and I looked at each other, and we walked over in the rain. It was raining heavily, and by the time we rushed into the canopy, we were soaking wet.
The girl must have heard footsteps, but she didn't look back at us, still looking at the black river in the distance.
The atmosphere at this time was a little weird, and the three of us in the canopy did not speak, only the sound of rain. The girl didn't even look at us, but I knew that all three of us knew what was going on.
This girl looks very young from the back, with an orange-red T-shirt and white shorts, revealing her white arms and legs, probably because she is still young, and she can be seen at a glance that she is a young girl, with thin legs and arms. She wears a red yarke hat and looks like the color mix is both bright and balanced.
I was a little stupid to see, the pouring rain and the black river in the distance, the black city buildings in the middle, and the bright color girl in the near distance, this scene in front of me was like an oil painting by a master.
Li Damin wiped the water from his face, walked behind the girl, and gently leaned down to look at the contents of the painting. I also took a few steps closer to see, this look is even more strange, this girl is obviously copying the scenery in front of her, the river, the city these things, but the painting is the desert yellow sand, only the sand dunes do not see the building, only in the extreme distance there is a wisp of desert smoke.
This painting is simple but not simple, the artistic conception is very deep, and I am a little addicted to the painting.
"What is this painting called?" Li Damin said as he stood next to the girl.
The girl still didn't look at us, and said softly, "Not up yet." ”
"Can I make one?" Li Damin said.
Only then did the girl turn her head to look at him slightly, her expression very calm, "Yes." ”
I didn't expect Li Damin to be so bold that he actually took out a pen from the painting bag, adjusted the color palette in the girl's hand, dipped it in black paint, and then used the posture of holding the brush to write five words in the upper right corner of this painting: A long journey of a thousand miles.
Li Damin's calligraphy is very beautiful, and it looks like a child's work. The strokes are chic, and the meaning of the words is far-reaching, especially the word "thousands of miles", which makes people feel crying.
The girl looked at Li Damin very formally for the first time at this time, and then looked back at me.
"What do you call them?" She asked.
"My name is Li Damin, and his name is Lin Cong," Li Damin introduced himself: "Are you the daughter of Mr. Chen Jianchen?" ”
She nodded: "My name is Chen Meiyu." ”
Although I had a hunch, I still didn't expect such a beautiful girl to be a master that even Uncle Zhong praised. She is also a mage who seals corpses.
The thundershowers outside gradually stopped, and the heavy rain came and went as fast as it came. Chen Meiyu stood up and cleaned up the easel, she was a girl who had a hard time carrying the shelf, I wanted to go over to help, and as soon as I took a step forward, I was pulled by Li Damin, he shook his head lightly, signaling that he didn't need to.
Chen Meiyu was busy working alone, packed up the easel and tools, and slowly walked out of the canopy. The temperature is very low, but the foreground is pleasant.
The girl stood in front of the railing, looked at Dae with her hands behind her back, and said, "I especially like to paint on the rooftop, especially when the sun sets. ”
She spoke to us in a tone like an old friend, not strange at all, maybe this is the demeanor of a master.
I was thinking about it when Li Damin stepped forward and said, "Why do you like the perspective from the top down so much?" ”
Chen Meiyu pursed her lips and was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to him, "I'll show you a painting." ”
She went back to the rain shelter to get the painting bag, Li Damin followed in, and I hurriedly whispered behind me: "Damin, what are you doing?" Let's get down to business. ”
Li Damin glared at me: "I found out that you are really a straight man of steel, can you not be so bad." ”
I didn't know what it meant, and I was too embarrassed to ask, so I had to follow me to the canopy.
Chen Meiyu took out a study book from her painting bag and turned a page to show us. In fact, the main thing is to show Li Damin, I stood next to me and leaned my head.
"It was the first time I could look down on the city from mid-air, and I was struck by the unique experience of being both familiar and strange. I felt a power, the power of creation, and I could do nothing but stare at the big, detailed picture in front of me. It was at that time that a sense similar to divine revelation appeared in my consciousness, and it was from that time that I had an epiphany. Chen Meiyu said softly.
I saw this painting, which was a watercolor street map, with brilliant colors, dense and neat streets, criss-crossing and shaped like a labyrinth, which looked comfortable and did not feel oppressive.
Li Damin looked at the painting and did not make a sound.
As soon as I saw that it was not good, I quickly said, "Sister Chen......"
"Just call me Miyu." Chen Meiyu interrupted me.
"Miyu, I heard your mother say that you are a master, and your father's body was sealed by you, so let's work together this time." I'm a bit incoherent.
Li Damin's gaze took off the painting and glanced at me.
Chen Meiyu nodded: "You are the ones that Uncle Zhong brought over to help." Thank you two, how did Uncle Zhong introduce me? ”
I said that Uncle Zhong didn't go into much detail, only that you were a master.
"Actually, I'm just like him, I'm all yin." Chen Meiyu said.
Even Li Damin was surprised at this time, and we looked at each other. I can't imagine that the girl in front of me is also a yin.
As far as I know, there have been four yin differences now, the earliest is Wang Yue, and then I know that Uncle Zhong is too. The garden community met the third place, Ma Danlong, and now the fourth one has appeared, Chen Meiyu in front of him.
Chen Meiyu is very frank: "I had a yin when I was four years old. When I was a child, I was frail and sickly, and I was on the verge of life and death several times, and it was really not easy for my parents to have my daughter. I've grown up to this point, and I'm going to repay them if I've got some ability. Not to mention the health of his old age, and the untimely death of my father, he still has many ideals and ambitions that have not been fulfilled. ”
Li Damin said: "We are here to help." ”
"Tonight I will get up the altar and enter the bardo realm, go to my father, bring him back, and restore the yang." The girl said.
For some reason, looking at this young girl in front of me, I felt a little eerie. When she talked about these things, she was so frank that ordinary people would have been scared for a long time.
Li Damin was silent for a moment and looked at me: "Lin Cong, discuss something with you." ”
I wondered.
He pulled me outside and whispered, "Lao Lin, go to Yin tonight, I beg you for something." ”
"Say it."
He hesitated and said, "You lend me the psychic bracelet to use, and I'll go with Miyu." ”
I almost jumped up when I heard it, "No. Didn't we talk about it, it's impossible for me to borrow a psychic bracelet. ”
"Isn't it a brother?" Li Damin frowned: "I want to go down with her and experience it together." ”
My throat moved: "You can't have a crush on her, do you?" ”
Li Damin didn't deny it: "It's kind of like that." I've been in a relationship before, but I've never seen a girl so emotional. If you're a good buddy, lend me the psychic bracelet. ”
I really hesitated, I said I should help, but the psychic bracelet is too big, and I have to point to it to save my mother. Li Damin wears it and walks in the shade, what consequences can happen, it's really hard to say.
Li Damin looked at me with blazing eyes, and my head was sweating: "I said Damin, you are really embarrassed for me, this ball is kicked here for me." ”
"Then you can help me." He said.
At this time, Chen Meiyu came over and whispered, "Which of the two of you will go to the yin with me at night, are you going together?" ”
An idea popped into me, "yes, let's go." ”
Li Damin looked at me.
I said, "Miyu, you're yin, you should be able to take people away from yin, right?" ”
"Yes, I used to take people to watch the shadows when I was in the countryside." Chen Meiyu said.
Li Damin blinked: "Lin Cong, what do you mean, let Meiyu take me to the yin, and you use the psychic bracelet to go together?" ”
"Haha," I laughed, "this matter is settled." ”
Li Damin pouted: "You can really do it, don't think I don't know your little Jiujiu." Wearing a psychic bracelet to go to the yin, you are not in danger, but I am going to leave the soul. ”
"There's only one psychic bracelet, what do you say." I snorted twice.
Chen Meiyu suddenly grabbed my wrist and raised it slightly, "Psychic bracelet? Is it one of the seven artifacts? ”
This thing is a rare treasure, I didn't want to talk about it, but after all, I have to cooperate with Chen Meiyu and don't tell lies in front of real people. I nodded in acknowledgement.
Chen Meiyu looked at me: "I know that this magic weapon has always been with Sister Wang Yue, what is your relationship with her?" ”
"They're the object." Li Damin said.
"Before, before." I stressed: "There are so many things here that it is difficult to explain them for a while. ”
Chen Meiyu frowned: "Where is Sister Wang Yue now?" Nothing will happen to her, right? ”
