Chapter 15 Painting Immortals
The second uncle is no longer able to complain...... Since the Taoist aunt thinks that she is a zombie, that is, right......
"Also, who did you hear say that there are no big tombs in northern Shaanxi, there are the largest Han tombs in northern Shaanxi, with tens of thousands of mouths, but they are protected by the state, and you still say that you are a treasure collector, which is really suspicious..... It's not a lie, it's just a three-legged cat......" Xiao Daogu continued to tease.
"Ahem," the second uncle coughed awkwardly and changed the subject: "Then Master, which sect do you study from?" Where did it come from? ”
"You know what you know, you don't know, talk a lot!" Xiao Daogu glanced at him, as if she didn't want to say too much about herself.
The two of them drove from Qinling Hanzhong to Yanchuan County, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning, the master and servant had something to eat in the restaurant, and then opened two rooms in the county guest house, each stayed separately, and set to gather downstairs at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiao Daogu reminded the second uncle not to think about running away, otherwise he will turn into stone, and he will never want to become a human again!
Although the second uncle felt a little inexplicable, he didn't dare to offend this little ancestor, anyway, it's okay, just accompany her to see, this so-called ..... What kind of zombie is it that lives among people?
Tired all night, he didn't take a shower, fell asleep, and then opened his eyes to a little bit, hurriedly went downstairs, the "master" has been waiting for him downstairs for a long time, at this time, she has changed into a normal girl's clothes, looking particularly beautiful and cute, the second uncle almost didn't recognize it.
After getting into the car, the second uncle asked curiously, "Master, where are we going?" ”
"Yanchuan County, Guli Village, Qiankun Bay Town, you can ask questions along the way, I don't know the way," Xiao Daogu said.
At that time, there was no navigation, not even a smartphone, and the driver could only look at the road signs or inquire along the way, and the second uncle drove all the way to Guli Village according to the address instructed by the "master".
When she arrived at the entrance of the village, Xiaodaogu instructed the second uncle to go into the village to inquire where Du Guangzhi's house was?
The second uncle was very surprised, and dared to follow the "master" to catch the zombie, and the situation of the people understood so clearly! Completely prepared.
found the family, the second uncle knocked on the big iron door, and the one who opened the door was a middle-aged man, simple and honest, looking at the second uncle suspiciously.
"You are?"
"Du Guangzhi's family? I'm Jiang Xiaoyun," Xiao Daogu said.
As soon as he heard that Xiao Daogu reported her name, the middle-aged man was sincerely frightened, and hurriedly introduced the two into the courtyard, and at that moment the second uncle knew that this dead girl was called Jiang Xiaoyun.
After entering the house and taking a seat, the host took out fruits, peanuts, melon seeds, etc., and Xiao Daogu asked him not to be busy, go straight to the topic, and then talk about her mother's situation in detail.
The middle-aged man clicked his lips nervously, and told what happened in a relatively thick dialect, and the second uncle probably understood what was going on......
It all started two months ago, when Du Guangzhi's mother went to the county seat to visit relatives, and something strange happened when she came back.
The old lady suddenly got up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to boil water, because she slept in a separate room, Du Guangzhi and his wife didn't care, but when they got up the next morning, the kettle was empty, and they didn't pour it in? He wondered, what did my mother do boiling water last night? It's not like washing......
However, he didn't think much about it, and he didn't ask his mother, who knew that the next night, at about eleven o'clock, his mother got up to boil water again, this time, he looked out curiously through the gap in the curtains, wanting to see what his mother was boiling water for?
Ten minutes later, the water was boiling, "poof" spewing steam, the old lady stood up and picked up the aluminum pot from the small stove, and the next scene almost scared Du Guangzhi to death! But when he saw his mother, he carried an aluminum pot and poured boiling water directly into his mouth, and drank it in a big gulp! Then the kitchen was full of steam, like a sauna.
He rushed out of the house with a snort, ran to the kitchen to stop his mother, and said that his mother was crazy! If you drink this, you have to burn to death!
However, when he arrived at the kitchen, he was about to grab the pot, but the old lady kicked him away, with great force, and directly kicked him on his heels, and then continued to drink! That pot of boiling water is about to run out!
He got up and rushed up, continued to grab the pot, and was kicked down by his mother again, but this time, maybe because of too much force, the old lady also fell to the ground, and the aluminum pot fell to the ground, and the boiling water splashed everywhere, and Du Guangzhi was burned......
When he got up to rescue his mother, he found that the old man was unconscious and in a severe coma, but he still had a breath of air, so he quickly picked up his mother and sent him to the hospital!
When I went to the emergency department of the hospital, the old man didn't seem to be fine, except for the scalds on his face by the boiling water that burst out, the digestive tract, throat, and mouth were all normal, and what was even more incredible was that the boiling water she drank in her stomach seemed to be gone, her belly was deflated, and she was thirsty after waking up.
She didn't know anything about what happened before, she just said that she was dreaming, dreaming that she was looking for water to drink, and wondered why her son sent her to the hospital?
Du Guangzhi was really confused, he couldn't imagine it...... Everything that happened just now is clearly in my eyes, and the burns on my body can't fool people, but my mother is fine, and she complains that her son is not filial, why did she burn her face.
After tossing all night, I took my mother home again, afraid that something would happen to her again, so I moved directly to live with my mother!
There was no similar situation for several days, and Du Guangzhi also asked the masters everywhere, wondering what happened to his mother? At this time, someone told him that he could write to the masters of Huashan and ask them to help you take a look, which is why Jiang Xiaoyun went down the mountain to catch the deadlock......
"Did your mother drink boiled water again?" The second uncle asked curiously.
"Yes!" Du Guangzhi took a puff of cigarette and said: "I look at her at night and it's better, but during the day, you can't stare at her all the time, sometimes there is no one at home, she just boils water to drink, as if sleepwalking, and doesn't admit it afterwards, we are almost used to it." ”
"Usually..... Is it the same as a normal person? The second uncle asked.
"Yes!" Du Guangzhi nodded: "My mother is usually completely normal and in good health, but she doesn't admit that she drinks boiling water, and we can't help it, I heard some people tell me..... Some old people, in fact, are dead, but the ghost still lives in the shell, I don't know if it's my mother's situation, it's so cruel! ”
"The old lady is at home now?" Aunt Xiaoyun asked.
"Here, sewing cotton pants for my grandson," Du Guangzhi replied.
"Oh, then I'll take a look at her," Jiang Xiaoyun stood up.
Du Guangzhi hurriedly led Jiang Xiaoyun to see his mother, Jiang Xiaoyun didn't enter the house, just leaned in front of the windowsill glass and glanced at it, then turned around, and frowned tightly.
When the second uncle saw her expression, he felt that things were not so simple, and he wanted to say ..... This Jiang Xiaoyun is a master, you can see at a glance that the second uncle is a "zombie", how did he get in front of Du Guangzhi's mother, and he still looked uncertain, as if he had encountered a very difficult problem.
"Master, what's going on?" The second uncle asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xiaoyun frowned and said, "Don't talk too much, I'll tell you when I go back!" ”
Then, she told Du Guangzhi that they would go back first and come back tomorrow, and let him wait patiently at home. Du Guangzhi nodded again and again and sent away the second uncle and Jiang Xiaoyun.
On the way back to the guest house, the second uncle asked curiously, "Master, that old lady, is it really a zombie?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyun said: "No! She's just a normal person. ”
"Yes..... The one surnamed Du was talking about...... Could he be fooling us? The second uncle was suspicious.
Jiang Xiaoyun shook her head: "People are not so boring, that old lady should be stared at by some dirty thing." ”
"Dirty stuff...... Master, in fact, what surprised me was not that she drank boiling water, but that there was so much water, how could it disappear out of thin air? Cold water is impossible! This is completely unreasonable, even if a ghost is possessed, then it should be scalded to death, at most it will not feel pain," the second uncle analyzed.
Jiang Xiaoyun glanced at the second uncle with a complicated look, and laughed with a snort: "Your imagination is quite rich, not bad!" If it is possessed by a ghost, this is indeed the case, which was previously ..... There is an old lady in Hanzhong, who likes to chew the root of her tongue, and the proprietor Li Jiaxiao is short, but she is possessed by a ghost and chews her tongue and swallows it. ”
"I think the problem should be when she goes to the county seat to see her relatives, or... Let's go investigate her relatives' house? The second uncle proposed.
Jiang Xiaoyun glanced at the second uncle with disdain, and said, "We are not police, if we have to break the casserole for everything, what else do we need a Taoist priest to do?" Don't talk nonsense, the mountain people have their own tricks! ”
Back in the county seat, after dinner, Jiang Xiaoyun asked the second uncle to carry her long peach box upstairs from the trunk, this thing is quite heavy, it was placed outside the wolf temple at the beginning, and the second uncle didn't know what it was? It looks like an ancient piano case.
When he arrived at the "master's" room, after Jiang Xiaoyun opened the wooden box, the second uncle saw that it was a scroll of paintings stacked neatly! It's all blank, and there's no ink on it.
"Master, why are they all blank sheets? I thought it was a rare sword? The second uncle asked curiously.
Jiang Xiaoyun sneered: "Sword, look like a sword!" These are not ordinary white papers, they are silk silks, each warp and weft is thinner than the intestines of insects, very valuable! ”
"Dark Silk Silk?" The second uncle gasped and wanted to say... I have heard of silk before, it is extremely sharp, and there are still people who use it as a secret weapon in martial arts novels, but what is the dark silk? Unheard.
Jiang Xiaoyun took out the pen and ink inkstone from her leather bag, put it on the table, and then picked up a bundle of painting scrolls and spread it out!
She studied the ink, raised her pen and pondered for a while, and then began to draw on the snow-white silk!
If the second uncle was impressed by this little girl's martial arts before, then now, he is deeply shocked by Jiang Xiaoyun's amazing painting skills!
The delicate little wrists, hooked and bent, swimming dragons and phoenixes, painted and written, but exquisite and perfect, really a bit like Tang Bohu's painting in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance"!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the second uncle would never have believed that there was such a god in the world! It seems that the movie is not completely apocryphal, there are really such masters who defy the sky!
It's just that..... The content of Jiang Xiaoyun's paintings is too evil, the barren village is full of thorns, full of messes, wild dogs and dead people everywhere, crows crawling all over the trees, and people's houses are also dilapidated, like the scene of disasters in ancient times.
However, the most terrible thing is that under the old locust tree, an old lady with a crutch is bent over... The flesh on his face has rotted, his eyelids are almost rotten, his eyes are bulging, his yellow teeth are out, and his finger bones are clear...... Just standing, really like a zombie, no! Much scarier than zombies!
The eyebrows were vague, and the second uncle recognized it, isn't this exactly ..... Du Guangzhi's old mother? It's wearing the costume of an ancient person, just like an old woman who woke up in ancient times!
When I painted for half an hour, the outlines of the characters and scenes in it had all come out, but it was obviously not finished, and Jiang Xiaoyun was still painting seriously.
"Master...... What are you? The mother of the painting surnamed Du? The second uncle was surprised.
Jiang Xiaoyun ignored him, and continued to paint seriously, until more than an hour later, she finished the whole painting......
Although the painting is a traditional Chinese ink painting, it is so realistic that it is like opening up another world, and the second uncle stands in front of the painting, with a sense of panic about to fall in, as if standing on the edge of a cliff.
Admiring her own picture scroll, Jiang Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of satisfaction, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and asked the second uncle, "How is it?" It's a good drawing for the teacher. ”
The second uncle nodded in astonishment: "Wonderful, it can be said... There is no one in the world who is higher than your painting skills, it is simply a painting fairy! It's just that...... Master, this painting... Is it the mother with the surname Du? ”
Jiang Xiaoyun, who was slapped by the second uncle's sycophant, nodded with a smile and said, "It's her!" ”
"But... Why did you paint her like this? The second uncle said incredulously.
Jiang Xiaoyun smiled evilly: "As soon as tomorrow night passes, you will understand, now... Heavenly secrets must not be revealed. ”
She sold Guanzi, the second uncle sighed and stared at the scroll, the brush and ink that had just been painted were not completely dry, and the old woman's eyes were still shining against the luster of the ink, looking "vivid", in a trance.... It seemed to turn slightly, and the startled second uncle stepped back violently!
