Chapter Fifty-Eight: Clever Tricks
I remembered when I went back to the restaurant after eating, I met the proprietress and drew a picture of her. Brush, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info is that she sucking the soul in the painting? The more I think about it, the more pore it gets.
"Mage, you must save me, I don't want to be eaten by her!" Liu Ai pleaded.
I quickly explained, "I'm not a mage, I'm just a mortal, and this spell belongs to someone else!" ”
When Liu Ai heard this, he couldn't help but show a look of disappointment. "But," I said, "I know a Taoist priest, and I can ask him to help you." ”
As soon as Liu Ai heard that there was a Taoist priest who could help her, she immediately became excited. I took her to 203, only to see Niubi still lying on the bed, snoring and sleeping.
As soon as I opened the door, Hu Yuan was woken up by me, saw me walk in, and exclaimed, "Brother Ling Fei, what are you following behind?" ”
At this time, Niu Bi was also woken up, rubbed his eyes and said, "Damn, Ling Fei, why did you go out and fool around with ghosts?" ”
I scolded, "Fuck your sister, don't talk nonsense." And he told them what had happened.
"Sure enough, there is really something wrong with this proprietress ". Bullnose sighed.
I'm a little puzzled, what is she doing with her soul in the painting, why does she suck people's souls?
Niu Bi said that this is a kind of evil art, the corpse oil is mixed into the paint to paint, and then combined with the spell, the resulting painting has the effect of restraining the soul. However, this sorcery is forbidden and has been lost hundreds of years ago. I didn't expect the proprietress of this shop to be able to do this long-lost evil art. It's incredible!
"Ox Nose, if you refine your corpse into oil to paint and draw a cow, I think this cow must be a sacred cow!" Hu Yuan said.
"Bah, bah, stop talking nonsense!" Bullnose said nervously.
Hu Yuan looked at the nervous appearance of the cow's nose and laughed.
"How long have you been trapped in that painting?" I asked Liu Ai.
"I've been trapped for five years, and I've been living in painting for five years. Actually, there is another world in this painting. Liu Ai said.
"What, there's another world in the painting, what does it look like?" Hu Yuan asked curiously.
"The time in the painting is the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. I actually recognize this painting, it is an imitation, and it is copied from Mr. Zhang Xiaoyou's "Old Dream of Nanxiang". Mr. Zhang Xiaoyou used to be a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts of Tsinghua University, so I used to see some of his works when I was in school. Of course, I have also seen the original painting of "Nanxiang Old Dream". It's a pity that this one in the hotel, even one-tenth of Mr. Zhang's look has not been imitated, the authentic work of "The Old Dream of Nanxiang" shows the life scene of the Jiangnan water town a hundred years ago beyond time and space, and the layout characteristics of the panoramic mountains and rivers of the Northern Song Dynasty are taken in the composition, with a wide and clear vision, a grand realm, and a strong contrast of sparseness. The painted rivers, rocks, trees, pavilions, markets, etc., are all exquisite and gorgeous, the bones are strong, and the characters are depicted vividly and full of brilliance. The color in the picture is rich and elegant, outlined and dyed finely. The houses and pavilions are lined up one after another, creating a cloudy and remote space, showing the atmosphere of a worldly and ethereal fairyland. The characters in the painting are the main part, and the painter makes the characters very prominent through the method of color background, which fully reflects the author's profound artistic skills in the depiction of characters and scenes. Taste it carefully, it's a lot of fun......"
I listened to Liu Ai talk endlessly about the painting and artistic conception of "Old Dream of Nanxiang", and I was not interested, so I interrupted: "You just said that there is another world in the painting, what does it look like?" ”
Liu Ai realized that he was digressing and said: "When you enter the world of painting, the characters in the painting are all alive." ”
When Hu Yuan heard this, he showed a curious look and said, "Brother Ling Fei, let's go and have a look in the painting?" ”
"I'm afraid that you have a life to go in and not to come out!" Niu Nose said coldly on the side.
A basin of cold water instantly extinguished the small flame of curiosity in Hu Yuan's heart.
"Since this is a black shop, why don't we get rid of the proprietress in this shop first." Hu Yuan proposed.
I suddenly remembered that Liu Ai said that he was killed by them just now, so there should be more than one person in this store. However, we didn't see anyone else except the hostess. So, where did the others go?
They also live in the paintings, monitoring the spirits in the paintings to prevent us from escaping. Liu Ai said.
So it was, we were talking, and suddenly we heard small footsteps outside the door. We turned off the lights in our rooms and listened carefully to the movement outside, as if someone was hiding in front of our door, listening to the sounds, checking whether we were asleep. At this moment, Niu Nose somehow had a sour nose and sneezed, and this "Aqing" sounded so loudly that even the whole building could hear it. Outside, there was the sound of men and women talking.
"How did you get it, the medicine didn't work? The man said.
"No, I took a large dose, even an elephant fell asleep." The woman said that this woman's voice was very similar to the voice of the proprietress, "However, there is a Taoist priest among these three people, which may not be ordinary." ”
"Shhh The man said.
At this point, the footsteps sounded again, and then faded away, and finally descended the stairs.
It seems that the people who came from outside should be the boss and the lady here, who came to kill us for money and take away our souls.
"This kind of thing, it is definitely not possible to call the police without evidence, but we can't kill people, what should we do?" I said.
"Brother Ling Fei, I have a solution." Hu Yuan said with some excitement.
"What's the solution?" As soon as Niu Bi and Liu Ai heard that Hu Yuan had a way, they also cast puzzled glances at her.
Hu Yuan continued: "Since they are all hiding in the painting, why don't we just burn the painting with fire." ”
"Well, that's a good idea, but aren't there other spirits in the painting? It's not going to burn them to the ground. I said.
The bull nose said, "No, we are burned with ordinary fire, not samadhi fire, and the soul will not be burned away." On the contrary, those wicked people come into the painting with their bodies, and we can burn their bodies so that they too can taste what it is like to be lonely ghosts. It's called treating others the way they do! ”
"What about the hostess? She's always in the store, so it's not convenient for us to do it! I asked, puzzled.
"Have you forgotten the three bowls of cold noodles that the proprietress gave us?" Niu Bi said, looking at the untouched jelly on the side.
I see, it's good enough for this bull's nose to be broken.
The next morning, the hostess was making breakfast for herself. Niu Bi came to the kitchen and said, "Boss, how about making breakfast?" ”
When the proprietress saw the cow's nose coming, she felt a little unnatural in her heart, and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!" ”
"Why haven't you seen the boss?" Bullnose asked deliberately.
"He's been out for some things in the past two days," the proprietress replied.
"Boss, last night, there was a sound in my room, it seems to be a mouse, can you help me take a look first." Niu Nose said.
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you." The proprietress put down the chili pepper she was stir-frying and put 203 on the cow's nose.
Hu Yuan sneakily walked out of a room next to him, holding half a bowl of cold noodle soup, and poured the soup into the pot about a spoonful. I motioned for her not to pour too much, or she would be seen. After pouring, we hid again.
It didn't take long for the proprietress to come down again, fill up some coals and continue to fry her peppers.
