Chapter 37: Peony Essence of the Nine-Hole Wall
"There are a lot of paintings, and it's all about a woman, and you're right. But have you noticed that although the women in the painting have thousands of postures, they all have one thing in common. ”
"Isn't the common denominator, the common denominator, the same person?" The tiger boy is straight and straight, and he is not afraid of showing timidity.
But Wei Chi and Chu Xixi understood that since Chen Mushan said so, the answer was definitely not so simple, so they racked their brains to recall, but unfortunately, they didn't pay special attention to it, how could they think of anything at this time.
Chen Mushan saw that they were not one or two, and sighed in disappointment and reminded: "The women in the painting all have a sideways movement to hide their faces. ”
As soon as he said this, everyone suddenly realized, and when they thought about it, it was true.
"But so what, aren't the women in the ancient paintings all acting like that?" Wei was puzzled.
"Don't you think that pose is very sultry?" Chen Mushan said.
"Who like you, so fond of studying women." Chu Xixi was dissatisfied, having said that, she knew that since Chen Mushan mentioned it, it should have a deep meaning, so she tried to imitate it from memory, but the actions she made not only felt awkward, but the people in the car also felt that it was not that taste.
"Don't learn it, that's the action of a girl in a green building, you don't have that charming body, you can't learn it." Chen Mushan quipped.
"You hate it, and you tease me."
Chu Xixi thought he was joking with himself, but Chen Mushan put away his laughter and said seriously: "It's not teasing you, it's true." After you told me that night, I also watched his live broadcast, and I really didn't see anything weird, but one of the anchor's habitual actions caught my attention, which was the one you just imitated. At the time, I felt familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it. It was only after meeting that I realized where she came from, and to confirm my guess, I danced a dance. This dance, Wei Chi should have heard it. ”
"Dance? What dance? "Wei Chi was confused.
"Shocking!"
Chen Mushan slowly spit out two words, Yu Chi's face turned pale, and he blurted out: "Wenbi Temple, that peony in the nine-hole wall?" After he finished speaking, he realized that the car was driving in the direction of Wenbi Temple.
Wenbi Temple is very famous in the dragon, there are twin towers in the temple, the name is Xuanwen Tower, it was built in the Ming Dynasty, it is a treasure temple, of course the tiger boy and Chu Xixi have heard of it, but the nine-hole wall and what peony, they don't know what they are talking about.
It is said that there was a painter who stayed in Wenbi Temple in the middle of the night when he heard a woman crying in the courtyard, and when he went away, he saw an extremely beautiful woman crying against a wall. When the painter asks her what is wrong, she says that her twin sister is imprisoned on the other side of the wall and cannot see each other, so she is sad. The painter thought that the monks in the temple were unruly and hid people privately, and he was immediately angry and wanted to find the abbot to theorize. The woman hurriedly dissuaded her, saying that as long as he wanted, he could save his sister immediately. The painter was naturally happy and asked how to do it. The woman said that if she drew a portrait of her sister on the wall, her sister would be free. Only then did the painter know that he was afraid that he had encountered a ghost, but he was kind-hearted, and when he saw that the woman had no malice, he agreed.
So the painter followed the woman's appearance and made a picture of a beautiful woman on the wall, which was lifelike. After the painting was finished, the woman took the pen and clicked nine times on the portrait, and then, the nine ink dots turned into nine holes. The woman thanked her, and then turned into a puff of fresh air and disappeared through the hole in the wall. ”
Wei Chi told the legend again, and Tiger Tong and Chu Xixi were amazed when they heard it.
At this time, Chen Mushan added: "The peonies of Wenbi Temple are famous all over the world, and the peony seedlings in the temple are all precious varieties collected from all over the country, especially there are nine different species in it, and this one is the only one, and the second plant can not be found elsewhere." And the nine xenomorphs were all paid tribute by a wealthy merchant in Gusu. However, few people know how the nine xenos came about. ”
"How?" Wei Chi asked, he only knew so much about the legend of the Nine Hole Wall, and he really didn't know what other stories were behind it.
"Those nine xenomorphs were cultivated by that rich merchant with a demon dao." Speaking of this, Chen Mushan suddenly stopped and lit a cigarette, in fact, he rarely smoked, except when he was very bored. He took two sharp puffs before continuing: "The rich man spent a lot of money to buy nine stunning beauties in Qinhuai River, saying that they were concubines, but in fact, those nine poor women ended up making flower fertilizer. The demon dao buried the nine women alive in the ground, revealing only one head, and before they were exhausted, they opened their skulls and planted flower seeds. Ninety-ninety-ninety-eighty days later, the flowers sprouted, the corpses of three years all turned into white bones, and the peonies bloomed, and the flowers were unusually strong, and the colors were different, and the fragrance was tangy. Originally, the rich businessman wanted to enjoy the fun himself, but at that time, he was building a Wenbi Temple, announcing that the world would collect strange flowers and plants, and the rich businessmen would sacrifice them in order to curry favor with the powerful. ”
"What? Special mother, it's too lacking in morality! The tiger boy jumped straight from the back seat and slammed the roof of the car into a mountain.
"And then!" Chu Xixi frowned and frowned, and asked in a suppressed voice.
"The soul is the flower, the flower is the soul, it is inseparable, although the gods and Buddhas enshrined in the Wenbi Temple have a compassionate heart, there is nothing to be done. There is only one way to save them, and that is to be fortunate enough to meet the rare Danqing Holy Hand, and use ink as a body to reshape their soul bodies. Fortunately, after waiting for hundreds of years, I finally met the down-and-out painter, and the gods and Buddhas in the temple helped one of the temporary incarnation painters to help. It's a pity that the peony in the Wenbi Temple is famous all over the world, and every year the prince and nobles have to come to enjoy the flowers. Although the painter released the nine poor women, the abbot was afraid that as soon as the flower spirit left, the peony flower would wither, and no emperor would patronize the ancient temple again, and a hole was plugged in the dead sheep. In the end, eight escaped, forcing one of them to stay. The resentment left behind is getting heavier and heavier, although it can't be completely separated from the flower branches, but the resentment turns into anger, and it actually cultivates into a demon body and has spirituality. It was from that time that the flower demon made waves, confused his heart with lust, and confused the masters who came to subdue the demon with a charming dance, and a song of shock has since become a nightmare for cultivators. The nine-hole wall is still there, and the painting is still there, I have been to the Wenbi Temple, I have seen it once, and I have a deep memory of the posture of the woman in the painting, so I thought it was her. After Chen Mushan finished speaking, he extinguished the remaining half of the cigarette and stepped on the accelerator deeper.
"I only know how powerful the dance is, but I don't know that there is such a past in it, I'm ashamed." Wei Chi said.
"How do you know?" Chu Xixi asked, don't blame her for being suspicious, after these days of getting along, Wei Chi made a deep impression on her, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Bogu is the present, even he doesn't know, how can Chen Mushan, who has always been entangled in the world, be so clear.
"There is an old pervert who used to like to go to the Qinhuai River to play, and he had friendships with several of the nine women. The beauty disappeared out of thin air, and he naturally wanted to find out, but unfortunately, he couldn't heroically save the beauty if he had no ability. Chen Mushan said.
The old pervert in his mouth was naturally Xie Zhi, and when he went to Wenbi Temple, Xie Zhi also asked him to go, but Xie Zhi was arrogant by nature, and he knew that he was not able to rescue the last woman, because he had never revealed his true body, otherwise, if the flower demon knew that there was such a big man who had been paying attention to them, how could he not recognize Chen Mushan.
"Hey, you say, shouldn't that anchor be the reincarnation of the painter, the flower demon found him, and he must have hoped that he would save her again." Tiger Boy said suddenly.
Chu Xixi and Wei Chi's eyes lit up at the same time, and they had already begun to sympathize with the tragic experience of the nine women.
