Chapter 294: People Cry in the Painting
I walked over to the door and closed it gently, and the cat looked up at me and didn't react much. It wasn't afraid of me at all, with disdain and contempt in its eyes.
I pulled the futon and sat across from it, and whispered, "Silver Fox Layman." ”
The cat looked at me, retracted its gaze and continued to look at the painting.
It ignored me, and I was going to say, I cleared my throat: "Silver Fox Layman, I heard that Master Green Snake told me about your past life experience, I think you should take refuge in Buddhism and continue your own cultivation, instead of wandering in the mountains like now." ”
The cat lay on the futon, and its mouth actually made a "snort", which was a contemptuous sound.
I know in my heart that the silver fox layman has great magical powers, even if he becomes a cat after death, he also has the memory of his previous life, and he doesn't know how much he can remember, but it knows that he was a silver fox monk in his previous life, and he retains some of his magical powers, and what is even more amazing is that it inherited the arrogance of his previous life.
I said, "Silver Fox Layman, I have heard about you, but I hate that I was not born in the same era as you, and I can't witness your demeanor, and I think you are also a proud person. However, your arrogance will only bring paranoia in the end, Buddhism talks about letting go, Taoism talks about leisure, you are really too self-grasping. ”
The cat didn't look at me at all, tilted his head, which means that you know a fart, and the hair hasn't grown yet, so you talk to me about the short and long of Buddhism.
I said, "Master Green Snake asked me to catch you, and I want to domesticate you......"
Speaking of which, the cat raised its eyes to look at me, and the strange cat's eyes were full of wariness.
I said: "This is the dead rule set by Master Green Snake for me, if I can't do it, I will never be able to go down the mountain, I think so, sooner or later, the two of us will have to solve this problem face to face, just take advantage of this opportunity now." ”
Before I could finish speaking, the cat jumped to the door, pulling the door open with its paws.
I didn't stop it, I slowly walked to the painting, stroking the painting in front of me: "Silver Fox Layman, in order to catch you, you have to study these paintings first, these days I look at it in the morning and at night, and finally come to a conclusion." ”
The cat stopped and turned its head to look at me.
I said: "My conclusion is that these paintings are useless, they look very beautiful, and they are just exquisite paintings, in fact, there is not much Zen in them, this is what you did before you died in your previous life, it can be seen that you did not understand at that time!" ”
The cat's eyes were full of hostility, and he could see that he was very unhappy.
I said, "What's the use of keeping these paintings, bullshit, things that don't work, just confusing people's eyes." With that, I took out a lighter from my pocket, polished the flame, and slid the door on the paper.
The cat didn't expect me to do this, and "Meow" screamed angrily and jumped and pounced. At this time, I also let go out, and put the flame of the lighter close to the paper sliding door, which was made of paper, and when I saw the fire, it burned with a "suddenly" sound.
The painting in front of me first burned a small hole, and then the flames spread rapidly around the edge of the hole, burning in all directions like ripples.
The cat jumped to the point of fire and pounced desperately with its paws, and while it was extinguishing the fire, I walked to another paper door and lit the painting on it. At this moment, the cat was really angry, meowing and leaping in the air, and its two paws went straight at me.
I hurriedly said: "Silver Fox Layman, you are a master of Taoism, do you want to hurt people for these paintings?!" ”
The cat froze visibly in the air, then continued to pounce forward, jumping on top of me. This cat doesn't look big, but fat and fat, perennial climbing and climbing, the strength of the muscles is not comparable to ordinary domestic cats, the strength is great, I stand unsteadily, and it was pounced on the back.
Behind is the fire of the paper sliding door, I and the cat fell to the paper door together, just the moment I touched the paper door, I saw a flower in front of my eyes, then dizzy, this process is also a moment, when the eyes are clear, I was startled.
I saw myself in a courtyard, it was the beginning of spring, the trees were full of peach blossoms, the falling flowers were colorful, and the small rivers flowed, which was really a bit of the Dream of Red Mansions.
There was a girl standing in front of her, who looked like a mixed-race child, with deep eyes and yellow hair, that is, gentle and well-behaved, and she was a twenty-eight beauty. She looked at me curiously and asked, "Who are you?" ”
I rolled over and stood up, looked around, and suddenly I was shocked, I was taken into the painting by this cat! Where is it?
Just thinking about it, a big gray cat walked by the gazebo, with long and narrow eyes, it was it.
I hurried to the gazebo and said to the cat, "Why did you bring me in?" ”
The cat looked at me, and he could actually speak and said coldly: "Didn't you say that my painting bullshit, then you just look at the power of this bullshit." ”
At this moment, the courtyard seemed to have exploded outside the camp, and many families, maids, and old mothers ran in, and greeted from afar: "Miss, let's go, it's water outside!" ”
I looked out with the young lady and saw a fire burning outside the courtyard wall. I immediately realized something, this fire was what I set and burned this painting! I didn't expect the painting to have its own world.
The cat looked at me flirtatiously and lay on the ground. I sneered, didn't speak, and sat on the ground with it.
After a short time, the fire burned outside the wall, and the fire was like a mountain of flames. A maid pulled the young lady to leave, and the young lady came to the pavilion with her skirt, and said anxiously: "Hey, the fire is coming, why don't you leave?" ”
Before I could react, this young lady was really temperamental, and actually ran to the pavilion to take my hand and run out together.
The cat also stood up, and Mimi barked, and lazily followed us.
We went out of the back door out of the yard, and the fire spread very quickly, and at this time it burned to the gazebo just now, and the whole pavilion was submerged in the fire.
I was secretly frightened, if I were burned by fire here, would I die in the painting?
The backstreets were lined with horse-drawn carriages, and the streets were chaotic like something. The homes of the rich are all covered with cars, and the poor who have no money drag the old and the young to crowd on the street, and the road so wide is impassable.
I was dragged by the young lady to sit in her car, and the cat followed, looked at me, and said in human language: "There is life in the painting, do you still think that the little clever act of burning the painting is quite enjoyable?" ”
I didn't speak, my mind was in turmoil.
The owner of the car waved his whip, the wheels creaked, the young lady folded her hands and prayed silently, she opened the curtain and asked the housekeeper outside, "How is my father?" ”
Someone replied, "Miss, the lord and several aunts and wives have already burned to death, and they are cleaning up the softness, and the fire has burned." ”
When the young lady heard this, her face turned pale, and tears were dripping down.
I couldn't bear it, so I hurriedly said, "Miss, this is just a painting, it's empty, don't be sad." ”
The young lady cried and glared at me: "It's not your father who died, why do you say that this is a painting?" ”
I reluctantly said, "I came from outside the painting, and I burned this fire." ”
The young lady looked at me and was furious: "You get out, get out of the car, get out!" ”
The cat lay there, sneering and laughing, and who knew that the young lady kicked it: "You get out too." ”
The cat and I were kicked out of the car, and we followed the flow of people, and when we looked back, the fire burned half the sky red, like a torrent sweeping from behind.
I watched as many people were swept into the fire, and the flames were shattered and vanished.
The cat followed me, watching my embarrassment. I know that this painting is originally painted by it, and it can enter and exit when it wants, so it is not busy, it just wants to see what I do.
The cat's mind must be like this, aren't you so chic when you burn paintings, then come in and taste the consequences for yourself. Anyone can talk with their mouths, and it depends on what you kid will do when things come to an end.
I'm actually quite messy in my heart, I can't show it on the surface, to be honest, I've been planning this move for a long time, and I've thought about the consequences it will cause, so I asked Master Green Snake that day, is it okay to use any means as long as I catch the cat, and she nodded.
I'm not an idea, let alone impulsive, these paintings are the obsession of the silver fox layman, what to do if you break your attachment, then burn it.
At this moment, I squeezed forward with the crowd, and the surrounding scenery changed very quickly, which was originally the feeling of ancient Jiangnan, but after walking not far, it became a big river under the haze, as if I had directly crossed the war-torn Central Plains.
There are more people here, the costumes are very different, and they are mixed together, not to mention the chaos. This army of refuges is immense, there are more and more people, and the scene is constantly changing, and the only constant is the fire that follows closely behind.
One thing I suddenly realized was that as the flames on the paper door expanded, the area of the painting slowly shrank, and eventually the whole painting would be engulfed in flames.
The fate of the people in these paintings has actually been decided, and no matter how they escape, it is in vain, and the final destination is only a dead end.
The army of refuge, in the end, there are fewer and fewer people, the scene at this moment has become hell, the vast black land is full of smoke, the fog is filled, you can faintly see countless struggling ghosts, the bull head and horse face shuttle in the black fog, the ears can hear the mournful whimper from the depths, the sea of blood is monstrous.
Walking here, as if predicting everyone's fate, many people could not walk, sitting on the ground, staring blankly at the flame-like fire spreading in the distance.
At this time, news came from the front, and everyone talked about it, saying that there was a cliff in front of the road, which was ten thousand feet high, and there was no bottom below, and there was no road.
