Downstairs in the lobby.

The blood under his feet was mixed with the thick and smelly filth, the corpses were lined up, and the mucus was stained on the soles of his feet, Lou Jinchen raised his feet, and felt that his diaphragm should respond, so he stomped his feet, and the woman sitting at the mirror table on the second floor shook her hand, and the hand holding the handkerchief in front of her chest turned a little paler.

"I'm just thinking about it in my heart, this wicked man won't be able to perceive it, right?" The woman thought in a panic.

Lou Jinchen went straight up the stairs to the second floor, and the sound of 'dong dong' going upstairs under her feet seemed to be stepping on her with every foot.

Several paper figures with different painting styles retreated one after another, and Lou Jinchen went straight into the room.

A strong fragrance rushes into the nose.

"What incense, so strong?" Lou Jinchen looked left and right, the style here is mostly pink, the curtain hangs by the doors and windows, and on a tall flower stand in the corner of the wall, the flower stand is three layers, and there are different colors of bright flowers on it.

Purple, red, and black, the first layer is purple, only the flowers and leaves are seen, the second layer is black, like a pitch-black night, and the third layer is bright red, even the leaves and stems are red.

With such a gaudy color matching, Lou Jinchen's heart flashed this thought.

"Ding! While! There was a crisp sound of cups and saucers shattering on the ground.

"Ahh This was followed by an exclamation, but it stopped abruptly, as if he was frightened, but he was frightened by something frightened and forcibly suppressed his voice.

Lou Jinchen looked towards the place where the voice came from, and in the pale pink red curtain, he saw a woman sitting there, looming, Lou Jinchen walked over and opened the curtain with a sword scabbard.

"Ahh The woman inside looked like her clothes had been torn open, and her hands were tightly clasped to her chest.

"You, the landlord?" Lou Jinchen asked, a trace of weirdness flashed in his heart, after all, the title of 'landlord' is very special to Lou Jinchen.

"Hmm!" The woman answered, Lou Jinchen looked at her carefully, a pair of long black braids on her chest, one hand held tightly, and one of the white handkerchiefs was tightly wrapped between her fingers.

Melon seed face, big eyes, matte red lips, and a straight nose, but one side of the eyebrows has not yet been painted.

There are some cosmetics on the table, including brushes and rouge.

"What? Yes or no? Lou Jinchen asked, but in his heart he wondered whether this woman's skin was really painted by himself.

"Yes." The woman was weak, and her eyes were full of fear.

"What's your name?" Lou Jinchen asked.

"Lou Jiling!" She blinked, carefully looking at Lou Jinchen's face.

"Really?" Lou Jinchen was a little surprised, and asked again: "Which building?" ”

"Mi Nu Lou!" Lou Jiling said.

"Oh, I thought I had met a home, my name is Lou Jinchen, the building by the wooden word." Lou Jinchen said: "You just said that your painting skin is made of fish skin? It's true? ”

"It's true, there's a bill here." Lou Jiling said and took out a stack of paper from the zygote of the dresser and handed it to Lou Jinchen, Lou Jinchen already believed it, but since he handed it over, he took it and flipped through it one by one.

Sure enough, it was a receipt for buying fish skins, with a copy from Biyan Lake, and the seller's surname was Hu. He remembered that Biyan Lake was in Qunyu Mountain, and the person surnamed Hu in Qunyu Mountain was the fox fairy, and they actually did this business, which made Lou Jinchen a little surprised.

Then there is the goods supplied by a person named Zhao Zhongqiang, and the documents clearly indicate what kind of fish skin, and the origin is in the sea and in the rivers, it seems that this Zhao Zhongqiang is also a second-class dealer.

Lou Jinchen glanced at the currency needed by the way, and found that gold and silver were also used as coins, but whether there was a mistake in the unit price and the total price, he felt dizzy when he looked at it, this kind of thing can only be calculated unless he takes out the paper to calculate, otherwise the mental arithmetic will be stuck in a certain link in his heart, mathematics is incompetent, and he can only do more reading comprehension,

So he didn't look too much, handed the slip back, and said: "In the near Chenchen of the Xiahuo Spirit View Tower, I heard that there are painters here who are good at painting, and I have come to learn from the teacher. ”

Lou Jiling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and thought to himself: "He really doesn't seem to want to kill me, he is here to learn to paint, then, will he give Shu Xiu?" I heard that human apprentices will give Shu Xiu, looking at his appearance, it seems that he doesn't plan to give it, is it just to teach him plainly? I'm going to refuse him strongly, and he's going to kill all my guests. ”

"But, but I won't, teach people!" Lou Jiling thought like a flint in his heart, but when the words of refusal came to his lips, he stammered a little.

"It doesn't matter, we run in with each other, overcome each other, and work each other." Lou Jinchen said with a smile.

Lou Jiling's face froze, his heart was messy, and he didn't know what to do.

"Is that okay?" Lou Jinchen scratched the back of his itchy ear with the hilt of his sword.

"Yes, you can." Lou Jiling replied stiffly.

"Then let's start, you teach it earlier, and I will learn it sooner!" Lou Jinchen looked at this room, looking for a good place to teach painting. He found that it didn't seem convenient here, so he might as well go downstairs to the table and teach, but there was still a corpse of filth.

Lou Jinchen said: "It's better to let your people clean up downstairs." ”

"Oh, okay." Lou Jiling's mind was full of thoughts, but the words that came to his lips were only a few short words.

……

In a village dozens of miles away from this mountain, a shadow peeked through the crack in the door into a room, and submerged into a man sitting cross-legged on a bed.

The man gasped as if he had been awakened from a nightmare.

He tried to stand up, but stumbled and almost fell, he came to the door, opened it and shouted outside, "Someone." ”

Soon a servant came at a hurry.

I saw this person quickly write a letter on the desk, handed it to the servant, and said, "You send it to the White Deputy Head Catcher Mansion in Swimming Water City, you must be fast." ”

After the servant received the letter, he quickly went out, rode on a horse, rode the moonlight, and came all the way to the city of water, and then came to the outside of the city to call the city keeper on the city gate, and after identifying himself, he went to the city gate in a hanging basket, took some money from his arms, and rewarded the captain of the city gate guard, and quickly went down the city tower and went to the house of the white deputy catcher.

The captain of the guard who guarded the gate at night said to the new members of the guard team who had just been transferred to the night gate: "Look, I said that there will be oil and water at night, this kind of person who wants to enter the door at night must have an urgent matter, so he will definitely give a reward, don't be sad, your wife and daughter are missing, save some more money, and marry another one." ”

The swordsman had a bitter look on his face, his wife and daughter had been missing for more than 30 days, and he felt that he was in good health, but he was getting more and more lonely.

The servant knocked on the door of the white deputy catcher, and after delivering the letter, he stepped aside, and after reading the letter, the white deputy catcher's face changed slightly, and he did not reply to the letter, but said directly to the servant: "You go back and tell your master, and say that I know." ”

After the servant left, Bai Vice-Catcher returned to the room and sat down quietly, with a faint light next to him, the news was very sudden, which made him inevitably a little uneasy about doing big things in the near future.

After sitting for a while, he decided to make contact, both as a message and as a discussion.

Picking up the lamp in his hand, he came to a small room in the middle of the room, and there was a table on top of it, and on the table was a small box covered with black cloth, and the chest was inlaid with seven star gems, arranged in a mysterious pattern.

He put the lamp down, and opened the box, which still had something wrapped in black cloth, and he lifted it, and it was a mirror, and the mirror had a footstand, and when it was erected, in front of the lamp, the mirror was as deep as a pool of water, and the light could not be reflected in the mirror.

He placed the lamp in his hand in front of the mirror and lifted the wick to make the light brighter.

Then, with a cup of silver knife in the box in his hand, he gently slashed it across the pad of the index finger of his right hand, and a red line appeared instantly.

Reaching out to the mirror, he began to scribble words one by one.

"See the Overseer."

As the four blood characters seeped into the mirror, the mirror began to ripple invisibly, and after a while, the light in the depths of the mirror shone brightly, and it was like the fire reflected in front of the mirror to lead the existence in the depths of the mirror.

The white deputy catcher was in awe, watching a shadow figure in the mirror get closer and closer, and finally merged with the reflection of the light, like a fire man, and like nothing, but the white deputy catcher clearly felt the gaze from the mirror.

"What called me?" There was a voice in the mirror, as if the light in his hand was speaking.

"Du Desheng asked people to report, between the time and the time, the Fire Spirit Guanlou broke into the painting building, killed a few people who came to buy the painting skin, killed Du Desheng, and kidnapped Lou Jiling." Bai said.

"Du Desheng? Lou Jinchen? The person in the mirror seemed to be thinking about these two names, and said, "This Du Desheng and Lou Jinchen seem to have heard your story before, right?" ”

"Yes, the overseer, Dujiazhuang's mother-in-law Du was angry with the owner of the Fire Spirit View and this building because of the death of her grandson, and was finally killed by the Fire Spirit Temple, and there was a big fuss in front of Dujiazhuang, Du Desheng also reported to his subordinates at that time, and his subordinates ordered him not to move, and after the last person who supervised the painting building was transferred, it was Du Desheng who was replaced."

In the mirror, the overseer groaned and said: "The painting building is the important place, especially the Lou Jiling in it, her painting skin can help us achieve great things, you go to see what the purpose of this building is to paint the building, if he doesn't know about us, be careful, don't expose it, if he knows, then he must not let him go back alive." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Bai Deputy Catcher said: "However, it's okay to have this Lou Jinchen, but there are Ji Mingcheng and the Fire Spirit Viewer behind him, could it be that they sent this Lou Jinchen?" ”

"It needs to be well ascertained." The secret master in the mirror said: "But you must be careful, you must not be exposed, the last time someone failed to intercept and kill Ji Mingcheng, it is likely that he has been vigilant." The Secret Master in the Mirror said.

"My subordinates will take people to the painting building." Bai said.

As he spoke, the darkness in the mirror began to ripple again, engulfing the reflected flames.

Bai Zhutou wrapped the mirror again, covered the wooden box, covered the black cloth, took the lamp and came out of the dark room, blew out the lamp in his hand, his body was flooded by the darkness, the door suddenly opened, and then quietly closed, but he couldn't see people.
