Chapter 13: The Woman in the Painting

The habits he had developed over the years of barracks had led him not to allow himself to flinch in the slightest. Chu Tianlu got up and found an emergency light from the cabinet. Looking at the degree of wear and tear of the lamp, I guess that the second uncle should have used it often before. Are there frequent power outages here? Chu Tianlu was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dig deeper. Pick up the lamp and walk to the room you just had.

Perhaps with the lamp in his hand, Chu Tianlu's sense of fear just now faded a little. Instead, a kind of treasure hunting curiosity took over most of the place in the heart.

When he came to the door, he shone a lantern inside. There are some antiques, calligraphy and paintings and other things in it, and nothing else.

Chu Tianlu already had some understanding of their livelihood from the blind Xu San, and guessed that these antiques, calligraphy and paintings that were thrown here at random must be fakes of some laymen. I couldn't help but secretly say in my heart: "Over the years, my second uncle must have used these things to deceive people." If my father had known about this, he would have been furious. ”

The lights lit around the wall of the house, but they didn't find the switch they expected. There is only one calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall, which is particularly eye-catching. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart...... Isn't there a light in this house?

Raised his hand and shone it on the roof again, a crystal chandelier on the roof was illuminated by the light and instantly flashed fluorescent, the gorgeous atmosphere that could not be concealed, was adorned by the string of strings, and the faint light emitted was a little weird. Chu Tianlu even had a hint of illusion, and the reflections of those pendants were like the eyes of some kind of creature, looking at him intently. This made his scalp tingle for a while, and he quickly turned the light away.

At this moment, a gust of yin wind blew imperceptibly, and Chu Tianlu didn't notice it at all.

Chu Tianlu shivered excitedly, and found that he had walked to the picture hanging on the wall at some point.

Before he could make a second reaction, the painting on the wall caught his attention.

It was a framed court painting, and it should have looked some years old.

The painting depicts a middle-aged general in military uniform, sitting at a long table drinking. There was a woman on either side of him, and both of them were beautiful and lifelike.

In particular, the one on the left is a beautiful woman in the painting who is forbidden to move, but the feeling of being there is a sense of immersion. It really makes people sigh at the skillful hands of the person who painted this painting in the first place.

What Chu Tianlu couldn't understand was that the woman was actually holding a jade pendant in her hand, as if she was playing, which was incompatible with the scene in the painting.

Chu Tianlu couldn't help but take a few more glances at this woman who exuded charm from her bones. In a trance, the woman seemed to be smiling at herself, laughing and laughing, and the woman began to cry again, and the cry made him feel a little reluctant.

Chu Tianlu was completely attracted by the glamorous beauty painted at this time and was unconscious. Like a walking corpse that has been hooked out of his mind, he is dumbfounded in front of the painting.

Time passed minute by minute, and the whole room was filled with an indescribable strange atmosphere, but Chu Tianlu couldn't feel it at this time.

Gradually, a picture appeared in his mind, and it was full of endless sadness and blood. In an elegantly furnished room, a pure and unworldly girl in plain clothes was begging the old man standing in front of her.

At this time, the old man was not moved by the woman's pleading. A familiar feeling rose in Chu Tianlu's heart, and he always felt that he had never seen this girl. And not far from this stunning girl, an old woman who fell in a pool of blood lay motionless on her side.

He could only see half of the old woman's face, and there was no trace of blood on her miserable white cheeks. The blood stains centered on her were still spreading in all directions. Chu Tianlu was shocked in his heart, he wanted to step forward to help her, but he couldn't move at all.

Chu Tianlu wanted to remind the two of them to hurry up and save people. After trying a few times, he was horrified to find that not only could he not hear the conversation between the two at all, but he could not even make a sound at all.

The discovery made him feel like he was in an ice cellar. At this time, Chu Tianlu in the room was making a "gurgling" sound in his throat. If there were people around at this time, it would definitely be out of the body. Because the sound made by Chu Tianlu was like a whole egg stuffed in his throat, squeezed out of the gap with difficulty when he was about to suffocate.

Chu Tianlu's eyes lit up, the door of the room was vigorously pushed open, and the two doors kept shaking back and forth because of the excessive external force. The sudden smell of light mixed with the disgusting smell of blood made him subconsciously squint his eyes and look in the direction of the door.

At the door of the room came a general with red eyes and a military uniform. He carried a three-foot-long knife in his hand, and his battle robe looked like it had been soaked in a pool of blood. At this time, it kept dripping blood. This general who just came in, Chu Tianlu also felt familiar.

Chu Tianlu couldn't help but look behind him. I saw some people lying on the road where he came, judging from their clothes, many of these people were officers and soldiers, most of them looked like family members, and there were also handmaidens mixed with them.

Some of these people are not dead, and they are now stretching out their blood-stained hands, trying to crawl to safety and escape the slaughter.

Those who had climbed some distance had long blood trails left behind them, making people shudder.

However, these people did not escape the carnage, as they thought. Discovered by the general's men, these dying men did not show them the slightest pity. They stabbed and slashed when they raised their hands, and their movements were stiff and wooden, as if they were born to be killing machines. Chu Tianlu was almost out of breath by the scene at the scene.

Looking at the courtyard again, stumps and broken legs can be seen everywhere. And the strong smell of blood came from the courtyard that had been integrated into the sea of blood. It's a scene of purgatory on earth.

The picture suddenly turned, and Chu Tianlu saw a spacious palace again. It was full of people, and in the center of the palace a group of singers were dancing happily and seductively......
