In the study.

Ye Xiaofan asked the two to sit down.

Wang Yueshan sat down and glanced at the neat and tidy little study, with a look of surprise.

Rong Ao put the long barrel on the table, pushed it forward, and chuckled: "Fortunately, if you don't disgrace your life, you will be obediently returned by the Evil Tiger Daoist with a phone call." ”

"It's worthy of Linglong Pavilion." Ye Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and looked at the long tube.

"You look at it first and make sure it's correct, and then I'll make a difference. Moreover, the evil tiger Taoist behaves obediently, and it is not impossible to really do something. ”

Rong Ao reminded.

Ye Xiaofan stretched out his hand, opened the long cylinder, took out the curled painting scroll inside, and slowly spread it out.

The content of the painting is completely exposed, surrounded by flesh and blood tentacles, and the hell demon dog that looks up to the sky and roars the moon, with an eerie and treacherous artistic conception.

Ye Xiaofan glanced at it, his smile disappeared, and he was a little more cold.

"Isn't this one? There's your signature on it, I've compared the photos on the Internet, and it's exactly the same. Or is this a forgery forged by the Evil Tiger Daoist? ”

Rong Ao observed his words and colors, and instantly realized that something was wrong.

Wang Yueshan quietly observed on the side, and did not interject, the matter of painting had nothing to do with him.

"There's one thing missing." Ye Xiaofan was categorical.

"What's that?"

"Its soul!" Ye Xiaofan replied.

"This ......" Rong Ao's face twitched, and he took it to look at it strangely, "Does the painting have a soul?" I haven't heard of it. ”

For a while, I secretly speculated that this was to use the topic to play, to make things difficult for the evil tiger Taoist, such as taking the opportunity to ask for compensation?

Rong Ao is not sure, if he is himself, and his strength is strong enough, let alone compensation, let alone abolish Dong Taishan.

"You can think of it as a more profound, higher-level artistic conception.

"It's a word that popped up after I saw a masterpiece in the afternoon.

"It is fitting to use the soul to describe this strong, mysterious artistic conception.

"At least this painting, without this soul, will be reduced to a second-rate work at once."

Originally, this painting was extremely excellent, eerie and eerie, and it made people shudder.

Style aside, in terms of quality, it can definitely be included in the ranks of rare masterpieces.

And now, it's unremarkable, missing the most crucial horror, and missing that terrifying, nonexistent aura.

The grade dropped instantly.

Ye Xiaofan put away the painting and already made a judgment, "When Dong Taishan stole the painting, it was because he took a fancy to the things in the painting, and now that he has taken the things, he doesn't care about the painting." ”

Ye Xiaofan continued, turned around and took down a brocade box on the cabinet.

"This painting is the pinnacle work of Master Qin Fengshi, "Lonely Boat Under the Moon".

Ye Xiaofan quickly took out the ink painting inside.

The eyes of the two converged on the ancient and leisurely painting.

"Can you compare the difference?" Ye Xiaofan asked meaningfully.

Rong Ao and Wang Yueshan seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and after three or five seconds, they looked at each other and were silent for a while.

"Ugh." Ye Xiaofan shook his head regretfully, "Can't see it?" ”

"I don't know how to describe how I feel at this time...... It will be more indescribable than ordinary paintings. But ethereal and uncatchable.

Rong Ao's eyes showed a little shock, "It's the first time I've encountered such a painting. ”

Wang Yueshan's expression was solemn, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyes.

He chimed in: "Indeed, I have seen many famous paintings and ancient paintings, but none of them can so deeply and strongly arouse my emotions. I vaguely felt that if I could capture it completely, it would be of great benefit! ”

Rong Ao's eyes widened, "Yes, I had such a thought just now, and I thought it was too much...... No, it can't be! A painting is not a panacea. ”

The two of them looked at the ink painting, trying to follow their thoughts, to perceive the painting, to verify its authenticity.

But after looking at it for a while, I found nothing.

Ye Xiaofan and the others suffered from gains and losses, and moved away from the painting with a frustrated face.

Only then did he put away the picture of the lonely boat under the moon.

"My painting, the soul it says, is far inferior to this picture of a lonely boat under the moon.

"But no matter what, what is missing is what is missing! It is inseparable from the evil tiger Taoist. ”

Ye Xiaofan said coldly.

"Since you created it, can't you paint another one?" The two were puzzled.

"No, I actually created this painting in a very special state, and I tried dozens of times, but I couldn't reproduce it.

"Besides, how could I just forget about destroying my things!"

Ye Xiaofan's expression was gloomy.

"That's going to be hard. The main reason is that there is no evidence, how did the Evil Tiger Dao people do it, even if we believe it, we have to believe it from others. ”

Rong Ao was a little bored at this time, and he didn't study the mystery of the lonely boat under the moon.

He didn't think there would be a chance to see it again.

Wang Yueshan is even more difficult to say, this kind of painting is obviously precious and abnormal, and it is impossible to study it with outsiders.

"I believe what you say, but it's useless.

"You have to believe it with the rest of the Ling Long Pavilion.

"It was wrong for him to steal the painting in the first place, but the painting has been returned, and you want some compensation, so you can be justified.

"But if you want to fight and kill, it doesn't make sense!"

Rong Ao sighed.

The implication was that Ling Long Pavilion would not help him out for such reasons.

Rong Ao suddenly wanted to speak and stopped.

"Well, understood, I'll figure it out myself." Ye Xiaofan was a little annoyed, and felt more and more that the painting of the hell dog had special value.

He didn't notice the strangeness of Rong Ao.

"The ......"

"Something to say!"

"I have bad news for you." Rong Ao smiled bitterly.

Ye Xiaofan frowned slightly, "What bad news." ”

"Your application to join Linglong Pavilion...... Refutated. ”

"Refuted? Why? At that time, you still swore that there was no problem, and the chief instructor of the Xuanwu Battalion was optimistic about me. Ye Xiaofan was a little speechless.

Originally, it was an organization, even if it was an official martial arts organization.

It's okay not to join.

But the meaning of Linglong Pavilion is different, its appearance is suspected to be preparing to incorporate all the grandmasters.

So...... What will happen to the grandmasters who don't join or fail to join the Linglong Pavilion?

"Alas, the chief instructor is the promoter of the Linglong Pavilion plan, one of the founders.

"But now that it has been parachuted, a female grandmaster surnamed Ling is acting as the head of the pavilion and has full authority to handle the affairs of the cabinet."

Rong Ao also looked distressed, "Fortunately, this person can't interfere with the Xuanwu camp, I have the chief instructor to cover me, otherwise, according to her jealous and hateful attitude, I'm afraid that the crimes I committed before would be enough for her to kill me dozens of times." ”

"She has a relationship with Ye Tianba, so she rejected the application?" Ye Xiaofan thought about it and only thought of this possibility.

Rong Ao shook his head and looked at Ye Xiaofan, "A family surnamed Ge in Blackstone Town died more than eighty people overnight. ”

Ye Xiaofan was a little stunned, he didn't expect it to be because of this incident.

This was not what he ordered......

Of course, there is nothing to justify at the moment.

In the eyes of others, it was because the second generation of Ge Jiafu offended themselves that Hong Chenwu and they were instructed to destroy people.

"According to the thirty rules and regulations for application conditions formulated by the Ling Pavilion Master, one of them, those who are full of people cannot join the Ling Long Pavilion." Rong said solemnly.

It seems that this matter is very serious.

"Oh, you just can't join the Linglong Pavilion?" Ye Xiaofan asked rhetorically.

"This ...... It's hard to say.

"But no matter what, our chief instructor will never let her touch you.

"To tell the truth, the Grandmaster has to have the privilege of killing!

"According to the ban she formulated, the grandmaster has to shrink his head, he has to be offended, he has to abide by the rules and laws, and verbal disputes cannot rise to hurting people."

Rong Ao was full of complaints, and snorted coldly: "Fortunately, I am from the Xuanwu Battalion, if I become a major general of Xuanwu, I don't have to look at her face to do things." ”
