Chapter 151: Painting People to Survive
The Taiwei Mansion was lifeless, and there was a smell of decay.
"Report to the captain, the villain is back."
"See that gentleman?"
"See."
"Say!"
The gentleman said, he said...... "The people who came were spitting and vomiting, and when they saw that the old man was showing signs of anger, he hurriedly said, "He said that Lang Jun was flying and domineering on weekdays, and he had a bad reputation in the mouths of the people of Changjing, and this punishment was deserved, and he also said that the punishment was light." ”
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Captain!"
"Then he doesn't want to break the spell?"
"Taiwei is not angry! That man is very arrogant! According to the villain, even if he has some Taoism, the captain doesn't have to be polite to him, let alone ask for such a generous courtesy! This is Changjing, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, just ask the county government and the patrol forbidden army to arrest him, it's a big deal to invite the masters of Juxian Mansion to come out! ”
"Go to the county office, and then find someone to go to the barracks."
"Yes!"
The time passed gradually, from morning to noon.
The Taiwei Mansion was silent, except for the coughing of the old man.
The old man with white hair was dressed in a gorgeous costume, sitting on the Taishi chair, holding a cane, and several subordinates stood behind him. The middle-aged butler kept kneeling on the ground in front of him, and the young man sat on the side with a pale face.
A piece of paper in front of him that wrote what happened.
The old man had seen it over and over again.
The officers and men went several times to no avail, which made them feel very anxious.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
"Captain ......"
Someone immediately cast a concerned glance at the old man.
"Out of the way. Master Miracle Medicine, since I took the medicine the day before yesterday and lay down for a day, I have been much better in the past two days, and I have been able to walk. The old man said, glancing at the butler kneeling below, and the young man sitting beside him, who could not hear the words, and struck him with his cane, "You evil obstacle, you have not succeeded enough to fail, and you have caused more trouble." ”
The man looked up, and his face turned paler.
I saw the old man's mouth open and closed, and his face was angry, but he couldn't hear any sound.
This extreme silence frightened him.
At this moment, someone from outside came in quickly.
"Captain!"
"Say!"
"The official mission and the forbidden army went again, this is the third trip, or the same as before, as soon as I entered, it was like being lost, and I immediately came out and walked all the way back to the county government and the camp."
"Ahem...... What about Juxian Mansion? ”
"I just went to Juxian Mansion and talked about it, but the people from Juxian Mansion said that they wanted to ask the national teacher." The person who spoke paused and lowered his head even lower, "After hearing this, the national teacher ordered that everyone was not allowed to go out, and the national teacher also said that we should stop going to the official mission and the forbidden army, so as not to cause more trouble." ”
"Is that really what the national teacher said?"
"That's true."
"I mean that."
"Say, say that you don't care about teaching the children of your family well, so that he acts recklessly in the city, and only becomes a deaf man, is considered ...... It is considered a kindness from others, so that we think we are unlucky, and don't entangle it anymore. ”
"Good for you, you eldest son! He insulted me like this! ”
The old man was furious.
After thinking about it, he became even angrier, and pulled out his crutches to hit the man next to him again, and the butler kneeling on the ground was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.
But this is an only son, how can he not care?
Not long after, someone came in to report that the county government had received the order of the national teacher and did not dare to send anyone more. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report that the forbidden army was in a similar situation.
"Bastard!"
The old man was so angry that he almost died of anger.
But I don't have a few days to live, and my only son has become deaf, how can I be willing?
"Go and invite Master Mu!"
"Yes!"
Gradually, from noon to mid-afternoon.
Those who were sitting did not move, and those who stood did not dare to move. The person kneeling on the ground felt that his knees were no longer his own, and he still did not dare to move. It was as if even the air was frozen in this room.
Until a middle-aged Taoist came outside.
The old man immediately stood up to greet him.
This person's surname is Mu, named Mu Shou, originally in Luming Mountain a Taoist temple to learn the Tao, and later came down the mountain to Changjing, originally thought to be with the national teacher in Fengtian Temple in Luming Mountain, then came to the national teacher, but although the national teacher accepted him, but did not reuse, mixed in Juxian Mansion for a few years, because of some things to provoke the anger of the national teacher, was driven out, since then in the rivers and lakes.
This man is very deep and good at spells.
After coming to Changjing, especially after living in the rivers and lakes, he communicated with all kinds of strange people in the rivers and lakes, and his Taoism was even more sophisticated.
Previously, he had used spells to kill the court officials, and was found out by Wu Dewei, and was almost caught and beheaded.
When this time comes, he immediately salutes.
"Poor Dao has seen the Tai Lieutenant, I don't know why the Tai Lieutenant called the poor Dao over in such a hurry?"
"Sir, save my son!"
The old man hurriedly told him what had happened, and asked him to remove the spell from his only son.
The grace of saving lives is greater than the sky, Mu Shou was not ambiguous, and immediately walked in front of the young man, looked at it carefully, but gradually frowned.
"How?"
"Back to Taiwei, Poor Dao didn't detect any curses or traces of Taoism from Yanei." Mu Shou said, "However, there are many spells in the world, and there are many poor ways that have not been seen. ”
"How's that for good?"
"The bell must be tied to the bell."
Mu Shou said, sniffed, frowned, and glanced at the old lady, hesitating in his heart, but didn't say anything.
"That person is very hateful, I first sent someone to ask for a heavy salute, but he refused to undo the curse, and then sent officers and soldiers and forbidden troops, but they all returned in vain, and was known by the eldest son, and even insulted me, and ordered the county government and the forbidden army not to move again, it is really too deceitful......"
"National Teacher ......"
Mu Shou narrowed his eyes.
"I wonder if Mr. can find a way to let that person know how powerful?" The old lady said, "Don't ask for his life, just let him know the stakes, and obediently come back and undo the curse on my son." ”
"Does the Captain have any of the things left behind by that man?"
"Nope."
"Do you know who his birth date is?"
"I only know who my surname is, but I don't know the eight characters of my birthday."
"That's a bit of a problem."
"But is there another way?"
"Poor Dao sees him, and he can do it, but Poor Dao is not good at fighting people head-on, I heard Taiwei say, that Daoist is probably a little ......"
"Is it possible to paint a portrait?"
"Portrait?"
The Taoist was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said: "If you can paint exactly the same, it will work, but I am afraid that such a painter is not easy to find." ”
"Don't hide it, sir, I met a person at the beginning of the year, his ancestor is the famous Dou Qiuyao Dou family, you can paint people come true, and paint tigers to live." The old lady said, "In his generation, although he didn't have the skills of Dou everyone, he also had superb painting skills, almost through the gods, no matter what he saw, he could draw it again, especially Shen Yun, which can almost be realistic." ”
"Where is this person?"
"He is a guest in my house, he has seen that Taoist man yesterday and this morning, cough cough cough cough ......" the old lady coughed for a while, "but this person rarely paints people, although I have the grace of sheltering him, but I have no life-saving kindness, I don't know if he is willing or not." ”
"What if he doesn't?"
"This man is cowardly and can threaten his life."
"Good!"
The old man immediately waved his hand and asked someone to call Master Dou.
Not long after, Master Dou arrived.
The old man asked him to draw the young Taoist he met last night and this morning, and he really didn't want to, and then the old man threatened with his life, and he really obeyed. So the servants brought tables and chairs, spread out the drawing paper, the painter lifted the pen, and a delicate Taoist figure gradually became clear, similar and godlike, just waiting for the finishing touch.
……
It gradually came to dusk.
Wu Nuxia walked back, and on the way back, she saw a scone seller, bought one, which was bigger than her face, and took it in her hand and ate it, it was dinner.
Think while eating.
When I went out this morning, I only heard about the general situation from the Taoist, but when I came back at this time, I already knew more details.
There were countless people lying in the Taiwei Mansion.
If you say that people are dumb, people will be dumb, and if you say that people are deaf, people will be deaf, like gods.
I don't know how many people want to know who he is.
“……”
Wu Nuxia shook her head, she knew that this person was powerful, but she didn't want to be so powerful.
It's just still too reckless.
It's almost time to walk to Willow Street.
Wu Nuxia quickened her pace.
Along the way, there are neighbors who are talking about it.
Seeing that the door next door was still open, Wu Nuxia passed by and casually glanced inside, but saw that the person was playing with the cat in the house, as if nothing had happened.
Wu Nuxia was stunned for a moment, looked left and right, picked a time when no one was staring, and got in.
The Taoist was losing the ball, and the cat jumped up to catch it.
When they saw her come in, they all stopped their movements and turned their heads to look at her.
"Who the hell is you?"
Wu Nuxia asked as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Huh?"
The Taoist seemed to be a little surprised, and turned his head to look at her: "Why does the woman ask that?" ”
"Curious, who the hell are you?"
"Daoist, Yizhou Daoist."
“?”
Wu Nuxia was stunned for a moment.
I thought about his answer, I thought about him answering, I thought about him not answering, I thought about him left and right, but I didn't expect him to answer like this.
After being stunned, she smiled, and then asked:
"Are you alright?"
"It's fine."
"Didn't the officers and soldiers come today?"
"Here we are."
"Didn't catch you?"
"Nope."
"Juxian Mansion didn't come to you?"
"Not either."
"God."
Wu Nuxia immediately sat down next to him, her eyes full of curiosity: "How did you do it?" Tell me about it. ”
"It's a small trick, it's not worth mentioning."
"What about the Taiwei Mansion?"
"It's also a small means."
"What kind of Taoist temple are you?"
"Fulongguan."
"Fulongguan, what do you mean?"
"The dormant dragon."
"Sounds a little fierce!" Wu Nuxia thought thoughtfully, "You are very powerful?" Famous? ”
"Thanks to the blessings of the ancestors, there is some fame."
"I've never heard of it, I'm so well-informed."
"Not in the ears of ordinary people."
"So where is it famous?"
"Famous mountain palace, demons and gods."
"Awesome, Dao Chief......"
"Thanks to the blessings of the ancestors."
At this moment, the Taoist suddenly looked stunned.
As if he felt something, he looked up at the sky.
I couldn't see the sky in the house, but I saw something else.
"Funny ......"
The Taoist showed a smile, took the cloth ball from the cat's mouth, stretched out his hand and threw it, the cat subconsciously jumped up to catch it, but did not see the cloth ball, nor did he see the cloth ball thrown.
However, the cloth ball in the Taoist's hand was gone.
"Meow?"
The cat landed again, looking at the Taoist suspiciously.
The Taoist stretched out his hand to her, his hand was empty, and said to the cat with a smile: "Do you want to learn the art of waving around?" ”
“?”
The cat tilted its head gradually.
The Taoist smiled, took out the cloth ball from his arms, and then handed it to the Wu woman next to him, leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair: "There is something to do, so I will ask the woman to accompany the Sanhua Niangniang to play." ”
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
In the Taiwei Mansion, the painter put the finishing touch, and the portrait suddenly came to life, like a real person.
Everyone present was amazed.
When he was amazed, he saw that the faces of the people in the painting changed slightly, and his expression suddenly became alive, and he turned his head and looked straight at them.
