Chapter 209: Painting with True Intentions, Cursed with Masks
"Michicho and Inuyasha are back?"
In Kaede Village, Grandma Kaede stood in the middle of the road and asked a villager who was working in the field.
The villager replied, "Hmm...... Kaede-sama, they came back, but before they finished ......speaking, another man had already taken over: "The Taoist brought back a very good-looking girl, and as for Lord Ahri and Inuyasha, they hurried to the Well of Eating Bones......"
"Here we go again!"
Grandma Feng glanced in the direction of the Bone-Eating Well, pursed her lips, and then looked at the place where Duanmu Hong lived, and sighed lightly: "Legend has it that the Taoist priests of Middle-earth all emphasize pure hearts and few desires, but the result is not that people are not romantic teenagers?" ”
But it turned out that after killing the Thunder Beast brothers that day, Ah Li remembered that his exam date was imminent, so he hurriedly returned to the village to return to the modern era through the bone-eating well. Duanmu Hong also felt that Lu Ji was unable to move, so he simply took Lu Ji back to the village and asked Grandma Feng to take care of it on her behalf.
At the same time, in a small courtyard three miles northwest of the village.
A huge curtain is hung high, a blue-clothed and white-haired man is holding a huge pen, dipping it in ink, and swaying the ink wantonly on the giant curtain.
A girl in a pink kimono stood beside her, watching the audience in fascination, wondering if she was fascinated by the imagery or by the dancers.
The pen was exhausted, and the man in blue took his gesture, calmly looked at the scene in the curtain, and said with a satisfied smile on his face: "Lu Ji, look at this painting." Lu Ji looked into the curtain as she said, but saw that the ink was dyed in different shades, and several of them were dyed with thick ink in the shape of the top of the mountain, and the peaks were dyed with light ink, as if the clouds were ethereal, and permeated it.
Duanmuhong asked, "What do you see?" Luki told her what she had seen.
Duanmu Hong showed approval on his face and nodded: "It seems that your spirituality and root bones are not bad!" Keep this painting in order, and look at it when you have time, and it will be beneficial. ”
Lu Ji heard the meaning of his words and asked, "Childe thinks Lu Ji is a burden and wants to leave Lu Ji in the village?" ”
"How can this be?"
Duanmuhong saw the reluctance in her eyes, knowing that this girl was sensitive, and Wen Yan explained at the moment: "It's just that the process of finding the jade of the four souls is very dangerous, no matter how strong my strength is, it is difficult to protect you from time to time, leaving you in the village, first, to avoid the invasion of foreign enemies, and second, there is a martial arts 'Qingyun Qi' created by me in this painting, you figure out the meaning of the painting every day, you can practice, accumulate over time, and finally have the power to protect yourself." ”
Qingyun Qi takes the meaning of "Qingyun goes straight up, and the sky is full of might".
It is said that the heaven and the earth were originally incarnated by Pangu, and the wind and clouds were formed by Pangu's exhalation. Simulating the formation, transformation, circulation, gathering and dispersion, moisturizing and other changes of cloud qi to adjust the flow of breath within the human body is the true meaning of this qigong. When the practitioner realizes the meaning of painting and feels the changes of the clouds, his own internal breath will flow freely on his own, and over time, he will not be able to accumulate true power between walking, sitting and lying down.
This kung fu has a lot of references to the "Boundless Qi Sea" of different martial arts in terms of transmission and practice methods, but it also contains Duanmu Hong's comprehension of the Dan Dao and the principle of immortality.
Knowing that Childe was thinking about himself, Lu Ji nodded obediently and said, "So that's the case, don't worry, Lu Ji will definitely work hard to cultivate!" ”
Seeing her so gentle and lovely, Duanmu Hong couldn't help but move in her heart, and she couldn't help but love her in her arms, and she lost her mind slightly for a while, until Lu Ji called him twice with a red face, and then came back to her senses and said secretly:
"Here we go again! This feeling of unstable mood! ”
He knew very well that the feeling just now was not that he had any true feelings for Lu Ji, but that the desires rooted in human nature, for young people with normal physiology, it was naturally impossible to eliminate desires, but they were affected by their own desires, which meant that there was something wrong with Duanmuhong's spirit.
Is it controlled by lust and fallen into the devil's way? Or do you overcome your desires and stick to the right path? This is a question that cannot be mistaken.
Duanmu Hong gritted his teeth secretly, and hurriedly recited the mental mantra of the "Washing the Marrow Sutra", and was about to gradually calm down the distracting thoughts in his heart, but he heard a shocking howl from Inuyasha in the distance......
……
In Kaede's grandmother's house, Inuyasha was lying on the ground in embarrassment, unable to even straighten his waist.
Duanmuhong sighed while lifting the pen to paint: "Really! Inuyasha, if you can be considerate of other girls, why not? ”
It turns out that when he returned to the modern era through the Well of Bones, Inuyasha wanted to destroy the Well of Bones with a boulder, but in a hurry, Ahri had to urge the spirit to stop him, which caused the stone that Inuyasha carried to fall on his waist.
"It's noisy!" Inuyasha said irritably, "That dead girl actually shouted to sit down at that time, and when I was healed, I had to slap her!" Duanmuhong chuckled and shook his head, striking him mercilessly, and said, "I advise you to let go of this dangerous thought, otherwise, if you provoke her to urge Yan Ling again, you will have to bear it!" ”
Hearing this, Inuyasha glared at Grandma Kaede hatefully and said in a low voice, "Cut! If it weren't for this damn old woman......"
At this time, I suddenly heard Duanmu Hong say happily: "It's done!" ”
Inuyasha followed the sound and saw Duanmu Hong hanging a picture scroll on the wall in front of him, but seeing that the mountains and rocks in the painting were lined up, and the peaks were like swords and swords, with different shapes, like hooked moon shadows hanging in the sky, it seemed that he was just depicting a certain landscape, and smiled disdainfully at the moment:
"You humans are so boring! What do you do with these things when you have nothing to do? ”
Duanmuhong smiled and didn't answer, and glanced at Lu Ji, who was learning to distinguish medicinal herbs with Grandma Feng on the side, and then got up and walked out of the house......
……
Over the past 100 years, Edo has become an international metropolis with a population of more than 10 million, and you can see tall buildings and traffic everywhere you look through the streets of Tokyo.
At this time, inside a taxi.
"Sunset Shrine?" When the taxi driver heard about this destination, he wondered, "Madam, are you going to go there early in the morning?" ”
"Hmm!"
A bespectacled woman sat in the back seat, holding a cloth box in her hand, and said, "My father is gone, and I must dispose of his old mask, which I have treasured for a long time." ”
"Masks? What is the mask? The driver was puzzled for a moment, what was an ordinary mask going to do in a place like a shrine?
The woman said with a heavy face, "It is a death mask, and it is said that if you wear it, you will not be able to take it off until you die." ”
"Really? It's weird! The driver raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but he didn't show any fear, it seemed that he didn't believe it.
The woman frowned and continued, "It is said that it is a carving from the Warring States period, but it cannot be burned even if it is burned with fire. What's even more bizarre is that if someone injures the mask, they will die. ”
"Huh?" The driver was slightly stunned and said, "Even if it's superstition, it's too bizarre, right?" ”
"Hmm!"
After a short time, the taxi had arrived in front of the sunset shrine, and the woman stepped out of the car and looked at the shrine for a while, and when she looked at the wooden box in her hand, she felt dizzy and disgusted. At the same time, there was a strange sound of "creaking" on the wooden box!
"Ah, the school uniform is dry!"
"Thank you, Mom!"
After a short time, Ah Li and his younger brother Kusata walked down the stone steps together. At this time, it was early Monday morning, and she had not returned to school for more than ten days since Ah Liang was captured by the hundred-legged demon to eat the well of bones, and the exam was imminent, and she was thinking about going back to school to listen to the class and review.
Cao Tai looked at her sister and asked, "Sister, didn't you bring that dog brother over today?" ”
"Of course!" At the mention of Inuyasha, Ahmadan looked displeased and said, "I finally got rid of him!" ”
"Huh?"
"Huh?"
At this time, the sound at the entrance of the shrine attracted the attention of the two sisters, but they saw a woman standing at the door of the shrine with her head bowed, her short hair covering half of her face in the shadows, looking very strange, an open box that had been left by someone somebody, and a pair of broken glasses next to it.
Kusa said, "Is it a guest?" ”
The woman raised her head when she heard the voice, Ah Li and Cao Tai saw her face clearly, but her heart was sudden, it was a lifeless face, and the scars on the right side of her face and mouth gave people a strong sense of foreboding!
Cao Tai grabbed her sister's left arm in fear, pulled her as far away from the woman as she could, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay...... It's disgusting! ”
"Kusata! Don't talk nonsense! ”
Ah Liang stopped his brother's rude words and looked at the woman intently, but he felt that the ominousness in his heart only became heavier, and he said secretly: "This face...... How does it look so similar to Noh? ”
Noh masks are masks used in Noh, a folk art in Japan. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to skillfully combine joy and sorrow into one, or it may seem to smile, but in fact it is lifeless, showing its own sadness; or seems to be crying, but in fact, there is a peaceful smile at the corner of the mouth.
As a Japanese, Ah Li has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, and he doesn't feel weird, but at this time, the feeling of Noh is imprinted on a person's face, and it can't help but make people feel strange, and ......
"Those two scars ......" Ah Li secretly wondered: "Is it really a human face?" ”
The woman ignored Kusata's words, but turned around silently and walked off into the distance.
"Sister, she's gone!"
Kusata took Ah Li's hand and motioned for her to leave. Ah Liang nodded and walked in the direction of the school, which happened to be the opposite of the direction the woman was walking.
"It feels so strange, but ......" Ah Liliu frowned slightly, and said secretly: "In modern society, there shouldn't be monsters, right?" ”
What she didn't know was that while she was rushing to school, the woman was turning around and looking at her departing shadow, with a gleam in her eyes!
