Chapter 2: Blackmail in the Qingfeng Pavilion
Longshan Old Street is built on the mountain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info followed the old man along the street for about five minutes, and Yu Tian saw that at the foot of Longshan Mountain, there was a two-story brick and wood building against the mountain wall, the red paint on the pillars, doors and windows had long been peeled off, and the roof tiles were skewed and scattered. Directly above the gate, a quaint wooden board tilted to the right forty-five degrees and crumbling, the wooden board has three big characters of "Qingfeng Pavilion", it looks like a shop selling calligraphy and paintings, but the appearance of this house is really extremely miserable, and I don't know if there is anyone who continues to operate.
Yu Tian had been to Longshan Old Street a few times, but for some reason, he had never noticed such a place here, perhaps because it was so dilapidated.
Yu Xia subconsciously took a few steps forward, and when he stepped on the steps in front of Qingfeng Pavilion, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be an invisible layer in front of him, as if something had swept over him. Yu Tian raised his head and found that the plaque of Qingfeng Pavilion seemed to be lit up, and before he could react, everything was calm again.
The old man glanced at the plaque, then at Yu Tian with a complicated expression, and walked into the door.
Qingfeng Pavilion is indeed a calligraphy and painting shop, there are really a lot of stores like this in Yuezhou, since the calligraphy saint left the first line of books in Yuezhou, the calligraphy atmosphere in Yuezhou has been very strong. Although Qingfeng Pavilion looks dilapidated from the outside, Yu Tian walked into it and found that the internal space was surprisingly large, and he didn't know what magic method the ancestor used to design this house, and he was able to make such a vivid use of the space.
Walking into the door, you will be greeted by a two-storey hall, in the center of which is a huge traditional mahogany table, on which are neatly placed the four treasures of the study, and a stack of coated paper calligraphy and painting books are placed in the corner of the large table. A one-foot-square bowl-shaped blue and white brush wash rests on a huge beige felt, which is particularly eye-catching.
The hall is surrounded by simple white walls, which are densely hung with calligraphy and painting scrolls, and Yu Tian has also studied calligraphy and painting in the university for a period of time, so it is natural to see that although these works are not superb, they are also masterpieces. In the center of the hall, a large landscape scroll hangs, which stands out among all the works.
The painting style of this landscape masterpiece is delicate and majestic, and it has the style of Fan Kuan of the Northern Song Dynasty. At the upper left end of the long axis, there are five small characters written "Songshan Creek Stone Map", and there is no inscription, only a few seals that cannot be identified.
"Well, I'm in a good place." The old man said triumphantly, but he did not stop and continued to walk forward.
At the end of the hall there was an inconspicuous small door, on which hung a cotton curtain, on which was written the first line of the book of the sage, although it was only a copy, but it also looked a little charming.
Through the small door, a small patio came into view. The patio is a unique architectural structure in Yuezhou, similar to the central open space in the Yanjing Courtyard. The floor of the patio is all paved with bluestone slabs, and due to the age, the surface of the bluestone slabs has long been densely packed with small holes by rainwater, and the cracks of the stone slabs are covered with bright green moss. In the center of the patio is a stone well, and when you look down from the edge of the stone well, the water is crystal clear and refreshing.
On one side of the patio is a very small garden, in which several green maple trees are planted, and the branches and foliage are luxuriant, covering the small half of the sky, and I think the origin of the name of the green maple pavilion.
Around the patio, there are usually small two-story buildings connected together, except for some old ones, but they can be seen as passable. At the back of the small building, the mountain wall at the southern foot of Longshan rises from the ground, and there are birdsong from time to time, adding a bit of seclusion.
This Qingfeng Pavilion, no matter how you estimate it, it will cost tens of millions. Yu Tian smacked his tongue secretly, and he didn't know how this strange old man could have such a big house. You know, this is an old town where every inch of land is at a premium.
"Okay, if there's anything you want to ask, just ask." The old man walked over to a round stone table in the middle of the patio and sat casually on a stone pier.
Yu Tian remembered the experience of coming last night, and quickly told the ins and outs of the matter.
The old man touched the sparse stubble on his chin with his hand, and grinned: "Young man, if I say that you bumped into a demon, do you believe it?" ”
Yu Tian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I know this matter is a little strange, but I don't believe in monsters and the like." ”
"Really?" The old man glanced at Yu Tian and said in a non-questionable manner, "According to the modern theory of quantum mechanics, quantum has uncertainty, and since this is the case, the universe composed of quantum is also uncertain, which means that the universe in which we exist is not the only one. The demon you bumped into was a wild worm, with the ability to connect different universes, did you know it, you were almost taken to the wormhole by the wild worm......"
Yu Tian was silent for a moment, bowed to the old man, turned around and left.
"Wait, boy, don't go." The old man suddenly jumped up from the stone pier, turned to Yu Tian at a speed incommensurate with his age, and said with great righteousness.
"Uncle, you escaped from the Seventh Courtyard, right?" Yu Tian said with a wry smile. The Seventh Hospital is a psychiatric hospital in Yuezhou, and from the old man's strange words and deeds, Yu Tian can basically conclude that there is something wrong with his brain. It's impossible to find the answer from the old man.
"You've only come out of the seventh courtyard, and your whole family has only come out of the seventh courtyard!" The old man glared, and pushed a palm on Yu Tian's chest, Yu Tian only felt a strong force push himself out, and stumbled into the stone table not far away, but he heard a crisp sound of "click", and the heavy stone table was actually knocked into two by Yu Tian, and the strange thing is that Yu Tian did not feel any pain.
"Ahh My stone table! The old man exclaimed, jumped to Yu Tian's side in one step, touched the cracked stone table and howled, "Wangcai! I can't imagine that after hundreds of years of perseverance, you still haven't escaped the catastrophe! ……”
"Uncle......" Yu Tian was taken aback by the old man's actions, this old man actually named the stone table, it was really crazy, and he just wanted to defend himself, but he saw the old man grab his collar and yell: "You! You will lose my wealth! ”
"Uncle, didn't you push me to break this table......" Yu Tian's face was flushed, he didn't expect this strange old man to have so much strength.
If I knew it, I wouldn't have said that he was from the Seventh Academy! I shouldn't have been with this neurotic if I had known! How could I be so unlucky! Yu Tian regretted it in his heart, but it was useless to say anything now.
"Compensation? Can you afford it? The old man sneered, "Wang Jian can't afford to pay for coming!" What are you going to pay me for?! ”
"Stinky old man! You're blackmail! A broken stone table! I'll pay you for it! How dare you blackmail me! I'll call the police right away! Yu Tian was also angry and shouted at the old man. Such a sturdy table breaks when touched, and it is clearly fake.
"It's okay, if you work for me for a month, it will be regarded as compensation for the stone table." The old man put down Yu Tian and said dryly.
"Is this all right?" Yu Tian laughed angrily, he had never seen such a strange logic, and he stiffened his neck and said, "Lao Tzu wants to leave, who can stop him!" ”
After that, Yu Tiantou walked outside without looking back.
"Let's go? Can you get out? The old man laughed, "If you can really get out, I'll give you all this shop!" ”
"Neurotic!" Yu Tian didn't bother to pay any attention to this crazy old man, turned his head and walked to the small door leading to the hall.
Yu Tian stepped into the small door and looked up, but suddenly found that he had actually returned to the patio, and the strange old man was still looking at him with a smile. Yu Tian did not believe in evil, and walked several times in succession, but without exception, they all returned to the same place.
"I'll go! It's really an instant! Yu Tian couldn't help but say.
"As I said, can you get out?" The old man's obscene face seemed very unbeatable to Yu Tian, but it made people feel a little chilly.
