Chapter 4 Talking about the fast
The snake who sells lanterns on Longhua Street has eyes that are bigger than lanterns. His shop is not far from the Su house, and he often has to be taken care of by the Su family, and he also knows Young Master Su. Thirty or forty people came out of Su Mansion today, isn't the one at the front the one Young Master Su......? But take a closer look, how can Young Master Su hold a stick in his hand, and everyone is holding a guy? This is to clean up other people's battles! To be able to force a cultural person who has just recovered from a serious illness to be like this, that bastard must have done something that is not tolerated, and Young Master Su has to do this without being beaten, and this matter has to be done by such a rough man who has been in a hundred battles! The peddler dropped the lantern shop and pulled out a short stick with a thick bowl mouth from the stall to join this vast ranks.
After passing through the Chunhua Gate, walking west, and standing in front of the gate of Hualiaozhai, the team became fifty or sixty people, and the tall and strong men behind them were even more murderous.
It began to snow, and the two big red lanterns in front of the gate were glued with a layer of white. Su Yu didn't feel cold, but instead rose from the bottom of his heart, and his blood gushed. He grew so big, he teased girls, escaped ferry tickets, played drunk, and swam, but he never fought in a group. This time, the painting is on the stall.
Su Jiao looked at Su Yu nervously on the side, this eldest young master is ignorant of the world, and if he acts so impulsively, the old master will definitely be furious when he wakes up, and he will lose a layer of skin. But usually he can't even support the words of the old lady, and he can't stop it! He has seen the ability to draw and chat with Zhai, but he is afraid that the young master will suffer a lot this time.
Su Yu kicked the door of the vermilion color, "Go in, smash me!"
The thugs swarmed in, only to be stunned on the spot for a moment. Su Yu looked around and was surprised, this wide courtyard was chaotic, the dead branches and leaves were covered with a layer of snow, the dry plantain and tall trees stretched their trunks weakly, and the crystal light on it did not know whether it was ice silk or spider webs, this was completely an old house that had been dilapidated for many years, where were there any figures? Su Yu quickly passed through several halls, the things inside were extremely simple, a few tables and chairs, a few teacups, surrounded by landscape paintings, and a jar of incense smoke curling. Nothing else.
Smash, smash what? Isn't it smashing the wall and pounding the floor?
At this time, the little guy who ran in front of Su Fu panted and came to report Su Yu, "Young master, I have searched inside and outside the house, and there is no one, but there are a few teas that are still steaming!"
Su Yu smiled coldly, and his thoughts were confirmed. This painting Liaozhai got the news, and he was afraid that he would come to uncover his face and smash the signboard, so he had to roll up the cover and flee.
"If you can escape, the monk can't escape the temple! Tear down the house! Smash him to a pulp, and vent evil anger!"
Su Yu gave an order, and more than 50 people raised their sticks and smashed them, the tables and chairs made of hardwood were shattered at once, the carved railings and windows were more likely to fall apart, and some people saw that there was really nothing to smash and went to the yard to pull out the withered canna. The sound of ping-pong sounded in the whole painting chatting room, and the aunt who sold eggs in Chunhuamen heard it clearly.
Su Yu didn't do it himself, just looked at the dozen or so landscape paintings on the wall like they were written by famous artists, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, so he asked Su Yu to remove them, don't let these thugs break them, and bring them on when he goes home.
Su Jiao showed an expression of eating coptis. This young master is really reading a Westerner's book, just forget it if he is unreasonable, I didn't expect to do it so naturally.
Su Yu looked at the noisy people and slowly became suspicious. Painting Liaozhai is so famous in Yangzhou City, and there must be a lot of family property, how can people go to the empty building in such a short period of time? Painting Liaozhai has a bad stomach, maybe this is their trick or not? Just thinking about it, a strange wind suddenly blew in front of the hall, and a door creaked open in the northeast corridor.
Suyu was attracted like a magnet. Behind the door is still a long corridor, but the corridor is full of life, canna has just budded, jasmine, beauty and crape myrtle are everywhere, and the fragrance wafts in the wind. In the middle of winter, this is a strange sight. Su Yu stepped up, the curiosity and excitement in his heart swelled more and more, the end of this corridor is probably the old nest of the painting chatter, dare to love them hiding here!
A tall figure appeared in front of him without taking a few steps, and the figure turned around, and Su Yu's feet were weak.
"Father...... Why are you here?"
Su Cheng looked serious with his hands behind his back, but his eyes were full of anger. "If you don't invite me, you won't be against the sky?!"
It turns out that the back hand is here, using a confused father to deal with me, ruthless enough, Su Yu thought fiercely, you must not fall into my hands, the master of Hualiaozhai!
"Stop!" Su Cheng was furious, "This bastard doesn't know the height of the sky, your life is saved by him, the curse is solved by him, the bureau is broken by him, and the great ability to draw and talk about the world is here." You actually smashed people's houses and bad people's treasures, do you know how much trouble you have caused? What taught you is benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, but you have committed the act of robbing homes and houses, and your old face has been lost by you!"
Su Yu's face turned pale, and he said proudly, "The operation of this world is all scientific laws, how can there be any ghosts and ghosts, Dad is confused, today I want to smash this dilapidated house, so that you can see the true face of the feudal superstition of Painting Liaozhai!"
Su Cheng's face sank, and he pulled out a whip from behind him. Su Yu trembled, he had suffered a lot in this whip when he was a child, and his father was probably very angry before he took out this old guy. Su Yu was trying to escape, and just happened to meet Dou Qiuyu's face.
"Mother, you're here too, you see that your confused husband is going to beat me again!" Su Yu hurriedly called for help.
Dou Qiuyu smiled lovingly, held Su Yu's hand and said, "There are no rules, I have learned badly from the West." Don't mess around, listen to your father and hurry home. I have a terrible headache, go home and rub it for me......"
Su Yu saw that her mother's face was very bad, and she felt guilty for a while, so she took her mother and walked back. It's all strange paintings and talking about those magic sticks, otherwise my mother, who has always been in good health, would not faint...... Thinking of this, Su Yu suddenly shook and sniffed into the air.
Dou Qiuyu looked at him puzzled, "Why don't you leave?"
"Mother has always hated things with strong aromas, why is there wood fragrance all over her body today?"
Su Yu looked at Dou Qiuyu and then at Su Cheng behind him, his brows furrowed strangely. "My father and mother fainted in bed, why did they come to the painting before me, will they fly away?" Dou Qiuyu was stunned for a moment, his face became panicked, and he looked at Su Cheng, who also showed an anxious face.
This expression would never be his parents, Su Yu took a few steps back when he saw this, and sniffed vigorously. My mind flashed back to the hall just now, where an altar of incense was burning on the empty table, and that incense also smelled like this. It seems that what you see in the hall and here is a fake, a trick to draw a chatting envoy! Su Yu showed a smug sneer. He searched for the fragrance and jumped into the grass to grope for it, and after a few minutes he brought out a jar of incense from the dahlia bush, which was the smell of mulberry incense!
"The little hypnotism is trying to deceive me?!" Su Yu smashed the incense into the pool on the side, splashing and scattering the aroma. Suddenly, Dou Qiuyu and Su Cheng disappeared, and the corridor turned into a wisp of smoke. Only the flowers and plants at the feet of Su Yu are still flowers and plants.
A gust of cold wind blew, and a hearty laugh sounded, "Young Master Su is really smart, please come in." ”
Su Yu remembered that this was the voice of the so-called painting of the owner in the mirror. The stinky god stick has finally appeared, I can't fix you well!
When the green smoke cleared, a house appeared in front of him, and this house was the same as the decoration of his house in Su Mansion. The hall looks like a hall with stained glass on the windows, which looks very strange.
Su Yu pushed the door open, and the furnishings inside were decent. On both walls are bookshelves, a few sofas and rattan chairs, and in the middle is a desk with strange things. There is a calligraphy hanging behind the table, on which are written the four big characters of "Thoughts and Actions", which are flowing and flowing, but they are very temperamental to Suyu. Su Yu looked around and noticed that this room was full of weirdness. I didn't see any white candles, yellow charms, or red pens, all of which were ordinary people's decorations. It's too normal to draw a place like Liaozhai, but it's the most abnormal place. Su Yu pinched himself and reminded himself not to fall into any hypnotism again.
"Painting Liaozhai was entrusted by Lingzun to save Young Master Su's life, why did Young Master Su hate me for painting Liaozhai to the core?"
Su Yu snorted, pointed to the beam of the house and scolded, "You magic stick, you instructed a little liar, you can deceive my Su Mansion, but you can't deceive me." What kind of disgusting magic trick, Canglan ghost? I have a heart attack, not some kind of curse! I am afraid that you don't know anything about this disease, there is no cure for this disease, and I have never said it, but I am afraid that my father and mother will be worried, but I did not expect to be used by you! You have bewitched the people and planted all kinds of tricks in my house so that everyone can believe you. I'm a good Su house now the grass and trees are withered, chickens and dogs are jumping, dilapidated, my parents are sick in bed because of you, and my cousin is framed as a murderer, shouldn't I come to you to settle accounts?!"
The master let out a dull laugh, as if he was holding back a laugh.
"Heart disease is an acute disease, and the heart aches like a wrench when it occurs. Young Master Su gradually lost his vitality within a month, and his flesh and bones atrophied, is this a symptom of heart disease?"
Su Yu snorted, "This is a complication!"
"Young Master Su recovered from his illness overnight after I painted and chatted about catching ghosts, and he looked like an ordinary person, how can this be explained?"
"Heart disease is a strange disease, and the smartest doctor in the West doesn't know what's going on, how do I know? Maybe my Su Yu's life shouldn't have stopped getting sick, but it happened to let you bump into it!"
The master of the painting chatted with a choked tone, as if he hadn't met such a scoundrel for a long time, but he asked for advice,
"The grass and trees in Sufu are withering, the horses are running wildly, and the streams are backtracking, may I ask, how can such a force of nature pretend to be a ghost?"
Su Yu laughed, "What's so difficult about this? You asked that Zi Xin boy to pour sulfuric acid water on the grass and trees, and the flowers and plants will wither naturally; put some white phosphorus and sulfur in the stable, and the sun will spontaneously combust them, burning their buttocks, and naturally running around; the stream must have been stopped by you downstream and made a big waterwheel pump, and the stream will naturally go back! You bullied my Su family for not knowing anything, thinking that this is some kind of heaven showing ghosts and gods to do tricks, hum, it's just a little game in the teaching book!!"
"Even if you are right, then how to solve Miss Dou's flowering? How to solve the Linjiang Mirror to come and go freely, and how to solve the nightmare of his parents that Young Master Su just saw?"
"It's not Xinyan, it's the man-eating flower! It's the broken mirror! It's just these two things, I don't know what you're doing, I'll find your flaws when I look at it a few more times." What a nightmare, just your hypnotism, the smell of the fragrance is fascinating. But even this kind of extremely difficult medical skill can be used, it seems that you have put a lot of hard work, even I have to admire you!"
Hua Liaozhai sighed lightly, his voice seemed to be very helpless, "What Young Master Su said is also reasonable and well-founded, and it is indisputable, but I am really pretending to be a ghost." ”
"As long as you admit it, I won't have wronged you. You hurry back with me to confront my foolish father! I want the people of Yangzhou City to see, superstition destroys people's houses, and only by revealing the truth can we keep safe!"
The master of the painting chatted for a while, and Su Yu thought that this liar was finally at a loss.
"Okay, good!" The master of the painting chat zhai called three good in a row, "I will be a juggler who walks the rivers and lakes today." ”
"Since you admit it, come out to Young Master Ben, I want to see what kind of face your supernatural painting master looks like!"
The master smiled softly. "Naturally, you can see me, I don't know what Young Master Su wants to do after seeing me?"
Su Yu's eyes turned, and he said in his heart, how to do it?
Who would have thought that the master of the painting was very aware of the little thoughts in Su Yu's stomach, and he said, "You want to beat me, are you sure you can beat me?"
With that, the big text was lifted, and a man came out from behind the wall.
A young man in his twenties, dressed in a straight-ironed officer's uniform, with a pistol pinned to his waist, a knife hanging from it, and a pair of high black leather shoes. His eyebrows are very neat, the width between his eyebrows, and at a glance he looks like a frank and upright gentleman. Su Yu was slightly surprised, shouldn't it be an old bad old man or a sour scholar in a robe? Su Yu didn't have much research on epaulettes and badges, and he couldn't tell what level it was for a while. No wonder Dad said that he was proficient in the art of war, it turned out that he had mixed with the military, Su Yu secretly speculated. It is really corrupt for a soldier to pretend to be a god and a ghost, and it is no wonder that he does not dare to show his true face. The morality is sanctimonious, and the defeat is in it! Su Yu slandered again.
"In Xiajiang Lin. The master of the painting is me. ”
Su Yu looked at it again, he was taller than himself, stronger than himself, with a knife and a gun! On the other hand, he didn't even know where to lose that wooden stick. There is a huge disparity in combat effectiveness, and now he has broken his face, if he wants to kill people, he has no ability to resist. I'm afraid that going in this state is the best policy, and the future party will always seize the opportunity!
Without saying a word, Su Yu turned around and snatched it to the door with the strength of milk. Unexpectedly, when he slammed into the door, his nose was almost flattened, and the door magically closed at the last moment.
Jiang Lin had a faint mocking smile on his face, beckoned to the air, flicked his fingers, and a white light suddenly appeared and brushed Su Yu's arm. Su Yu screamed in pain, and the blood quickly stained half of his sleeves red.
"Hypnosis is like entering a dream, and when you are in pain, you wake up, I wonder if Young Master Su can be in my hypnotism now?"
Jiang Lin asked with a smile.
Su Yu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, "Now that your trick has been exposed by me, I naturally disdain to use hypnotism anymore." Su Yu thought that this officer had a lot of things, and he didn't know what kind of pistol that trick he had just now, so he would definitely ask his father to buy one for self-defense when he went back, it was very useful. I didn't know if I could get out alive, so I had to drag out as much time as possible, hoping that those stupid people in Su Jiao would not be trapped by his hypnotism and find this place quickly. He's going to fight in a group, not a heads-up.
"Since it's not hypnosis, Young Master Su thinks he's sober, so there's a friend I want Young Master Su to meet. Jiang Lin said, clapping his palms, "Hu Ji, aren't you very interested in this Su fish?"
Su Yu only heard a pleasant bell behind the wall, crisp as fairy music. Then a beautiful woman with a smile like a flower floated out. The face of the beauty is like the bright moon, and the arms are like lotus roots, like real and illusory. Su Yu couldn't help but look at it stupidly, and then looked at it carefully, and suddenly fell into the corner with a strange scream. This beauty was full of air from the waist down, and she really floated out. She looked at Su Yu with a smile and danced in the air. The dance is graceful and graceful, as if there are countless flowers blooming in the air and the light is intertwined. Su Yu only felt beautiful and holy, and the fear in his heart disappeared without a trace.
"Dunhuang Flying Sky is nothing more than that......" he looked stunned and muttered.
Jiang Lin looked at Su Yu and said with a smile: "I wonder if Young Master Su has a way to make Hu Ji fly and dance in the air?"
There is no waist and no feet to live, and it is barely acceptable to explain it with superb medical skills. But this beauty does not have half a silk thread tied to her body, but she can fly freely in the air...... This...... I'm afraid it's really not human. Su Yu was stunned and stammered, and the visual beauty and spiritual impact made him unable to say a word.
The orchid landed lightly on Jiang Lin's shoulder. Jiang Lin said calmly, "Orchid is a dominatrix, who hid in the painting when she was injured, and is now more than a thousand years old. ”
Orchid smiled at Su Yu, like a spring breeze blowing willows, butterflies stopping stamens on Su Yu's heart, "Orchids look like flowers, when the spring breeze is smiling." His eyes were misty, and he read obsessively.
"When I first entered the WTO, this was a poem written for me by Li Taibai, but I didn't expect anyone to remember it. Orchid laughed.
The orchid that Li Bai saw back then was really the orchid in front of him? The dominatrix mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures was so generous, kind-hearted, and beautiful, and it really existed! Su Yu was shocked, and his heart was extremely shaken. Is this scene true or false? He pinched his arm again, and the wound just now still ached faintly, but it was not in a dream.
Jiang Lin saw that Su Yu looked dumbfounded, and explained, "It's just a different species, why be surprised? Turtles can even live for thousands of years." ”
"In the end, as you wish. ”
Jiang Lin flipped it in his hand, wasn't it the bronze mirror. The mirror was glowing with a faint white mist, Jiang Lin made a move, and with a bang, the white light flashed, and Zixin's face appeared in the mirror. Still with tears in his eyes, he stared at Su Yu with hatred. Su Yu stretched out his hand and touched it, but he couldn't touch the mirror, it was like poking into a puddle of water, his fingertips were tingling, and he was bitten hard by Zi Xin! Another burst of light, Zi Xin disappeared without a trace, and the mirror returned to its original state, only sobbing sounds.
Jiang Lin stroked the crack on it and said with pity, "Originally, Zixin could come and go freely out of thin air, but now that the mirror has broken the crack, it can no longer be the same as before." ”
Su Yu stared blankly at the bleeding fingers, shocked, and could no longer be stunned. If the mirror is real, and the dominatrix is real, then the ghosts are also real, so what is the science that keeps denying them? Su Yu's expression was agitated, and his heart was in turmoil, as if he was in the clouds and mist, and he was staggering around the room, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing this, Jiang Lin didn't stop it, but just smiled and said, "Creation is magical, there are many things in this world that we don't understand, everything has a spirit, and human beings are just one kind." The world operates with its own laws, and those who can find out the laws are named science, and those that cannot be explained by laws may not necessarily not exist. Su Yu, what you have seen in the past few days I am not pretending to be a ghost, but what is really happening, whether you believe it or not, painting Liaozhai is not forced. But existence is existence and cannot be erased. What you see in today's paintings, you must not spread it out, otherwise it will harm the life of the orchid. Go, go. ”
Su Yu still had confused eyes, as if he was in a cloud, not knowing where he was going. I only know that there is someone next to me. Jiang Lin's words kept ringing in his ears, which made him have a headache.
In front of the hall, Su Jiao and his party collapsed to the ground, a strange thing happened in this hall, there were many shadows on the wall on the ground, everyone struggled to drive them away and finally exhausted, and everyone came back to their senses when the altar of incense burned out. Isn't this a ghost? A chill ran through my heart, and the timid rushed out of the door early. Su Jiao knew that this must be a spell to draw Liaozhai, and he was looking for Su Yu, but when he saw that Su Yu had long been gone. Su Jiao slapped his thigh and scolded himself for being useless, and the people who were staring at him were lost! I was about to run back to Su Mansion to ask Su Cheng to come over to sell face, begging for painting and chatting to raise his noble hand, but who knew that Su Yu was supported by a boy and limped out. This eldest young master's eyes were blank, his face was pale, he must have been painting the way of the master! Where did Su Jiao dare to stay for a long time, snatched Su Yu from the boy's hand and hurried back to the house.
