Chapter 283: The Truth of the Hell Diagram
Seeing Bai Impermanence, Bai Chang's first reaction was, no, come and scratch Yi Ya!
However, Guo Cripple greeted him calmly, and said with a smile: "Yo, white envoy, rare guest, I just came back from Yinsi, what, is there anything important?" ”
"Of course, I'm here for you."
Bai Wuchang still had a trademark smile on his face, looked around the room, and was slightly stunned when he saw Bai Chang.
"Bai Chang, why are you here, I just happened to be looking for you, it's too coincidental."
"Uh......"
Bai Changxin said badly, he must have known that he had brought Yi Ya out, but he quietly turned his head to the side and looked, Yi Ya was gone.
Hey, this old boy was still there just now, why did he disappear as soon as he turned around?
"It turned out to be the messenger of impermanence, yes, it's really too coincidental, I just happened to come to see Guo Lao today, and I met you, it's really fate......"
Bai Chang laughed, feeling uneasy, and saw that Bai Wuchang also smiled and said, "Since you are here, it is great, and I will save trouble." ”
A flash of light flashed, and a scroll appeared in the palm of his hand.
Bai Wuchang opened the painting scroll, and it turned out to be the picture of Tang Bohu's Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest that Bai Chang gave him that day on Yin Si Street.
"Siguan Guo, if you look at this painting, can you see anything strange."
Guo Cripple stepped forward to take a few looks, then stretched out his hand and poked at random on the painting.
He poked more than a dozen times in succession, and the movements were very fast, Bai Chang didn't understand what he meant, but then he saw that a black mist suddenly floated out of the painting, and the teeth and claws quickly gathered and formed, and then dispersed.
In a moment, this black mist turned into a dozen human figures, and fell to their knees in the room.
This turned out to be a dozen ghosts!
Oh, Bai Chang was surprised, there are so many ghosts hidden in this painting, what's going on?
Guo Cripple didn't pay attention to the dozen or so ghosts, looked up and asked Bai Wuchang in surprise: "White envoy, what is going on with these evil ghosts, and where did this painting come from?" ”
Bai Wuchang said: "This is the Bai Chang behind you, who gave it to me personally, as for where it came from, I was also about to ask him." ”
The eyes of Guo Cripple and Bai Wuchang immediately shifted to Bai Chang.
"This ......"
Bai Chang touched his nose and didn't hide it, so he told him about helping Wang Tonglin cook and then getting this painting as a reward.
Guo Cripple frowned and said, "In that case, after you got the painting, didn't you open it and look at it?" ”
"This, I really didn't read it, because I was in a hurry to go to Yin Si Street to run errands, and I wasn't very interested in this kind of thing, so I ......"
"Well, thanks you didn't open it, do you know what it is?"
"I don't know ......"
Bai Chang had a vague premonition in his heart, and Guo Cripple said: "To tell you the truth, this painting and that hell picture were originally enshrined in the Underworld Offering Pavilion at the same time, but about a hundred years ago, these two paintings disappeared one after another. It is only today that it has reappeared in the world. ”
"Uh...... Do you mean to say that both of these paintings came out of the underworld, disappeared for more than a hundred years, and then both were brought back to me? ”
"Yes, that's it."
"That's interesting...... But why are you all looking at me so seriously, have I done something wrong? ”
Guo lame sighed and said, "You didn't do anything wrong, on the contrary, you are very meritorious." However, after I got the Hell map, I actually found that there was a very important one missing in it, a very important ......"
When he said this, he didn't seem to know how to express it, and Bai Wuchang continued: "There is no need to hide this, there is an ancient evil beast missing from the Hell Diagram, which is from the bottom of hell, guarding the gluttony of the Infernal Hell." ”
After Bai Wuchang said this, Bai Chang was directly frightened.
What did he just say, the gluttony who guarded the Infernal Hell, and ran away?!
Wait, wait, isn't that just a painting, according to what Guo Cripple said before, the hell picture is just a live copy of Wu Daozi in hell, what does this have to do with the gluttony of guarding the Infernal Hell?
Bai Chang raised questions, and Guo Cripple explained that the terrible thing about this hell picture is here, because Wu Daozi's painting is too realistic, and it can even be described as ghostly workmanship, so when he copied the hell scene on the spot, he really reflected those creatures in hell in the painting.
To put it simply, the spirits of those hellish creatures were painted in this painting by Wu Daozi.
Later, this Hell Diagram was hung in the Underworld Offering Pavilion for thousands of years, and it had already been psychic, so just over a hundred years ago, when the Hell Diagram disappeared, a large number of Hell creatures disappeared in the Hell.
Almost the ones painted by Wu Daozi back then, except for those who were lucky enough to be reincarnated, and those who had already lost their souls, were all gone.
Among them, there is the gluttony that guards the Infernal Hell.
Therefore, in the underworld, I have been looking for this hell map for a long time, but I have never found it.
A few days ago, Bai Chang inadvertently got the hell map, and then gave it to Guo Cripple, at that time, Guo Cripple didn't know the whole truth about the loss of the hell map, but he only vaguely knew a little, just now he went to the Yin Division, and told the hell map.
Because Bai Wuchang also happened to bring back another map of the Tiger Roaring Mountain a few days ago, and the two lost paintings appeared at the same time, Yin Si naturally attached great importance to it, so he immediately sent Bai Wuchang to investigate this matter.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Wuchang said that the tiger roaring mountain forest map is far inferior to the hell picture, but the biggest feature of this painting is that the tiger painted by Tang Bohu is too realistic, and it has also hung in the underworld for too long.
Once the scroll is opened, the demon will jump out and ask for his life for the tiger to cultivate.
In other words, although this painting is a forest map of the Tiger Roaring Mountain, it has now been changed to a picture of the tiger.
Bai Chang suddenly realized and understood Wang Tonglin's sinister intentions.
On the surface, he gave himself a famous painting as a thank you gift, but in fact he wanted his own life.
However, Wang Tonglin is just a businessman, how can this kind of thing flowing out of the Yin Si come into his hands?
Bai Wuchang finally explained the ins and outs of these two paintings, and then said to Bai Chang with a smile on his face: "Now that Lord Hades knows that these two paintings were found by you, and I greatly appreciate you, so I specially asked me to assist you in finding the gluttonous beast that escaped from hell and bringing it back to the underworld." ”
Bai Chang was taken aback, this is not a joke, he encountered these two paintings purely by accident, and now what kind of Hades King actually wants him to work with Bai Wuchang to catch the gluttonous beast and bring it back to the underworld?
What are you kidding, gluttony is an ancient evil beast, that means catch it?!
Bai Chang hurriedly refused, grabbing gluttony, this was purely an act of sending him to death, so he didn't do it.
"You don't have to rush to agree to this, give you two days to think about it, anyway, before I came here, Lord Hades specially said that in order to recognize your contributions, but also to motivate you, as long as you agree to this matter, Lord Hades can meet your three requirements."
Bai Wuchang said slowly, with a weird smile on his face, as if he had already eaten Bai Chang.
