Chapter 7: Painting (1)
Because the people drove away the river demons, they also returned to their former prosperity, and the shops on the street began to open their doors early in the morning. The streets are also bustling with people coming and going. The river that scared everyone before, there were also some bold villagers who began to cast nets on the boat to fish. Wen Bailing and his party walked down the street, looking at everything in front of them and feeling very happy.
"Wen Bailing, Chen Yi has now eliminated the river demon, what are your plans next?"
Chen Yi heard Shen Chen ask like this, and after a pause, he said, "Right now, I see that there are still many things in this world that can be worth experiencing. If I hadn't stabbed that sword so impulsively, Zhang Guisheng wouldn't have died because of me. So I plan to follow Miss Wen to find the scattered fragments of the Wraith Beads, and I can also have a good understanding, as if there are demons in this world can also choose to be inspired, rather than blindly killing them all. ”
After Wen Bailing heard Chen Yi say this, he said with a little comfort: "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself, after all, each of us cultivates different spiritual powers, and your Spirit Sword Sect is mainly based on sword qi, mainly to kill those monsters who do all kinds of evil." And we mind painters practice purification, and everything is mainly to purify people's obsessions. But when we encounter extremely vicious monsters that can't be transformed, we will also choose to destroy them. ”
Shen Chen, who was on the side, heard that there was a man who was going to follow Wen Bailing, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. He originally asked them like this, but he just wanted to simply ask Chen Yi why he left, but he didn't expect him to have such a plan.
When he was about to walk out of Zhangjia Town, Shen Chen said to Wen Bailing and the others: "I think so, you must not have thought about where to go for a while, right, you can go to live with me first, anyway, the silver Wen Bailing gave her before is enough for you to live for a while." ”
At this time, it was on a mountain hundreds of kilometers outside Xicheng where Shen Chen and the others lived. There was a thick and thick air. It's full of mountains, but there is an enchantment outside, so Wen Bailing has always been discovered.
A man in black in the mountain knelt on the ground with a hideous face and said respectfully to the cave: "My subordinates were derelict in their duties, not only did they let the heart painter take away the turbidity of the river demon. He also got rid of the Wraith Bead fragments. It's just that when they were collecting the turbidity, he heard the news from the man that he saw some turbidity entering the body of Shen Chen, the person who was with the heart painter. ”
There was a laugh from inside the cave and said, "That's great." When they have almost collected the fragments of the Wraith Bead, we will snatch the Wraith Bead back and awaken the Taiyin Phantom Beast. It's just that it is still unknown where the Taiyin Phantom Beast was defeated. You have to keep an eye on that person named Shen Chen at all times now. ”
The people outside the cave hesitated and asked, "What did you promise me, master?"
"Don't worry, I Dream Tapir said to do it, and on the day I wake up the Taiyin Phantom Beast, I will personally help you awaken all your previous memories. Go ahead, I'm going to continue healing. ”
At this time, the sunspot man outside the cave took out a red purse from his arms, embroidered with a family joy on the front, and a big Wu character embroidered on the back. But every time the sunspot man sees this purse, some messy images come to mind. In one room, a child ran towards him, and a woman was embroidering the purse he was holding in his hand. But every time he continued to think about it, he had a splitting headache.
Inside Creek City
Wen Bailing got up early in the morning and saw that Shen Chen was carrying the medicine box and planning to go out with Wen Bao. Then he stepped forward and asked, "Are you going to go out for a free clinic?"
Wen Bao on the side replied: "Yes, the young master and I are going to Majia Town outside the city to give free medical treatment to the poor there."
Wen Bailing said thoughtfully after listening: "Then I'll go with you."
"What? Are you all going to go out? Chen Yi, who came out of the room, stretched his waist and asked.
Wen Bailing replied with a smile: "Yes, we are going to Majia Town to give free medical treatment and medicine to the poor there."
When Chen Yi heard this, he immediately turned around and picked up the sword on the table in the room, ran out and said, "Then I will go with you too."
Shen Chen on the side didn't say anything, so the group walked out.
When they entered Majia Town, they saw many people gathered around a firewood pile at first sight. Everyone shouted in unison: "Burn her, burn her."
There was still an extremely beautiful woman tied to the wood of the firewood pile, and she helplessly shouted to everyone: "I'm not a monster, I'm not."
There was an old couple in the crowd who had been crying bitterly to everyone: "My Qin'er is not a monster, you misunderstood."
At this time, the two men next to him lit the torches in their hands, and said respectfully to the middle-aged man standing at the front of the crowd: "Mayor Town, it's three o'clock in the afternoon." Is it time to ignite? ”
The middle-aged man led by him looked up at the sky, and then shouted angrily: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, light the fire."
Seeing this, Wen Bailing wanted to use her spiritual power to stop them from igniting the fire, but was stopped by Chen Yi on the side.
Wen Bailing looked at Chen Yi in confusion and said anxiously: "This woman is not a monster at all, they are so ignorant that they will only kill one more person."
Chen Yi said calmly: "Let's take a look first, they can't be that she is a monster for no reason, and besides, now that there are no monsters, we cultivators can't change anything with spiritual power by the way." Otherwise, it is against the way of heaven. It will be punished by heaven. ”
Just as the two were arguing, a black gust of wind blew through. so that the eyes of the people could not be opened. When the wind had passed, everyone opened their eyes again, only to find that the woman tied to the tree was missing.
The onlookers were also frightened, and everyone was still running, shouting: "Everyone, run, the monster has come out to arrest people." ”
When the crowd dispersed, only the old couple who were in pain were left in the same place.
At this time, Wen Bailing threw a roll of her eyes and said to Chen Yi: "It's okay now, the monster has appeared, I can take care of it." After speaking, he and Shen Chen walked towards the old couple
Seeing this, Shen Chen was crying so sadly, so he asked respectfully, "Second elder, may I ask what is going on?" Your daughter is obviously a human, why do they say that your daughter is a monster? ”
The heartbroken second elder looked at Shen Chen and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?" ”
Before Shen Chen could answer, Wen Bailing on the side replied, "We are demon hunters. We may be able to save your daughter. ”
When the second elder heard that it was a demon hunter, his eyes lit up instantly, and he hurriedly said, "A few real people, you are not from our Majia Town, right?" Then let's go to the old man's house first. ”
After the group entered the Ma Mansion, Wen Bailing deliberately looked around, but did not find any turbidity or resentment.
Later, the old man Ma took them to Ma Qin's room, and said to them all the way: "I suspect that the problem is the paintings that my daughter Qin'er hung in the room. ”
As soon as Wen Bailing opened the door and entered, the first thing that caught her eye was the lifelike portraits of women hanging in the room. The picture in the picture is none other than the woman Qin'er who is tied to the wood today.
After Shen Chen and the others saw the painting, they were also shocked and said, "Master Ma, your daughter's hands are so skillful, this painting seems to have been painted by him." ”
The man known as Master Ma said with a look of annoyance: "These paintings are not painted by the little girl, but by the poor boy." If it weren't for that poor boy, my daughter wouldn't be what she is now, and she wouldn't be treated as a monster. ”
Wen Bailing immediately asked, "How do you say this?" ”
Master Ma then sighed and said: "A year ago, I saw this poor boy painting on the street, and I was attracted by his vivid works, and then I spent a lot of money to invite him to come to the house ten days later to paint a portrait of her old man at my mother's birthday party." My mother was even happier when she saw that painting. Then he invited him to the house as a guest. He talked about poetry and painting with his little girl all day long. Later, I was afraid that they would do something out of the ordinary, so I kicked him out. and immediately agreed to marry her to the mayor's son. ”
Shen Chen said thoughtfully: "Then your daughter won't be caught by you by running away from him, right?" ”
When Master Ma heard this, he immediately shook his hand and denied it: "My daughter is still an innocent daughter's family." It's just that later, when the poor boy heard that I was going to marry Qin'er, he actually died of depression at home. When the little girl found out, she couldn't afford to get sick. Subsequently, strange things began to happen frequently in our Majia Town. As long as you go to the mountain behind you to cut wood or dig herbs, people will not necessarily come back. In the past, the mountain was also half of our income, and everyone would dig herbs and chop wood. ”
Shen Chen asked with a blank face when he heard this, "Then what does all this have to do with your daughter?"
Master Ma sighed even more and said helplessly: "After the poor boy died, he buried him behind that mountain. After the incident, many people went to the back mountains to look for those who did not come back, but they went to batch after batch and did not come back. Later, many people said that they often saw the figure of the little girl on that mountain. That day, they said that they had picked up the little girl's handkerchief behind the mountain, so they took her away indiscriminately, and said that she was a monster and wanted to burn her. ”
Wen Bailing asked, "May I ask which mountain is it?"
"It's the one behind town, and I'll take you there right away." After Mr. Ma finished speaking, he strode out with them.
When the group came to the back mountain, Wen Bailing still did not find any traces of turbidity, it stands to reason that if many people died in this mountain for no reason, there should be a lot of resentment or some unfinished obsessions. But now it seems that the sky is blue and white, and the birds are flying over the sky intermittently.
"There's an enchantment here." Just as Wen Bailing was pondering, a woman in purple suddenly walked out from behind them and spoke.
Wen Bailing asked with a puzzled expression, "Who are you?" How did you know there was an enchantment? ”。
The woman in purple ignored Wen Bailing and said directly: "There is an enchantment here, I saw a painting fly out of it at noon today, and then there was no movement."
