Chapter 200: Sadako's Story in the Painting
"A man of the green forest?"
Wu Santong on the side couldn't help asking: "Isn't that the one who robbed the house?" β
"This Lin Qizhu is different, this person is arrogant, he has always robbed the rich and helped the poor, and he once did bad things about the Hua family and the shogunate, but unfortunately their little arms still can't twist their thighs, and finally the strong men of the shogunate swept their cottages."
Many of his brothers died tragically at that time, and only about 30 people survived, in order to cover the others from escaping, Lin Qizhu stayed alone. Later, the shogunate wanted everyone to know how unwise it was to go against their shogunate, so they handed Lin Qizhu over to the inspection office, imprisoned in a prison, and prepared to be beheaded in public. β
"I saw that Lin Qizhu was a man, so I put a fire that night, and took advantage of the chaos to let Lin Qizhu run, he is now incognito, hiding in a place to live in seclusion, if the adults really want to do things for the people of White Snake Road, I think you can contact this Lin Qizhu."
Yan Wanghou said to Li Hengsheng.
"Hmm." Li Hengsheng nodded, and then said, "Then wait a few days, Elder Yan will take me to find this Lin Qizhu to have a look." β
"Yes."
Yan Lao also nodded yes.
After the more than 20 guards who came came gave them a fortune, almost all of them were willing to stay on errands, after all, the people of White Snake Road were not having a good time, and it would be good if they could eat a bite of official food.
Li Hengsheng arranged some simple things for them.
At least put up the faΓ§ade of the Inspectorate Mansion first.
Then he took Wu Santong to the backyard, which is where Li Hengsheng lives, living next door to Yan Wanghou.
"Senior brother, that Lin Qizhu, why don't we go and get in touch immediately?" Wu Santong said: "If we can bring him under our command earlier, our inspection mansion will have some strength, don't you, look at the crooked melons and cracked dates outside now, what can you expect from them?" β
Li Hengsheng and Xu Kui said with a smile while packing up their things: "Senior brother is a very clever person on weekdays, how come he can't see through many things after coming out of the sect?" β
"Senior brother is saying...... Elder Yan doesn't trust us? Wu Santong seemed to understand the reason for the matter.
"We have just come to this slaughtering mountain city, how can Elder Yan trust us directly? Although Yan Lao is a little paranoid, he is not a fool, and what the previous inspector did made him lose confidence in the inspector. β
"Although Elder Yan told us about Lin Qizhu, in the end, he only told us that Lin Qizhu was hiding in a place of seclusion, and he didn't say exactly where he was hiding in seclusion."
"So he also wants to see our attitude, ready to see what we will do in the next few days, if we are the same as the previous inspectors, he will not tell us Lin Qizhu's whereabouts."
Li Hengsheng said lightly.
"I see, then it seems that we are going to do things alone these days." Wu Santong sighed lightly, he could only rely on those people outside.
"Don't worry, the future will be fine." Li Hengsheng is still confident.
Ziwu City.
In the past few days, a special guest has come to the Evergreen Tavern.
It was a man with thinning hair, he dressed like a beggar, but he was not, and his words and speech were very extraordinary.
When Li Changqing saw this man for the first time, what came to mind was Xu Muhai.
On weekdays, he is also sloppy, like a beggar.
For this man who came to the door to beg for wine, Li Changqing originally wanted to give a pot of wine and forget it, but who knew that when this man finished drinking, he unexpectedly felt that the wine in the Evergreen Tavern was very delicious, and the next day he came again.
Li Changqing smiled, just to accumulate virtue and do good, and gave another pot of burning knives.
Until the evening of the third day.
The man is here again.
"Hey, shopkeeper, I want to drink." The man said with a smile.
There were many customers in the store, as well as Xiao Luo and others, Xiao Luo saw this and walked up and asked Li Changqing: "Sir, but there is trouble?" β
"No, no, just a regular customer." Li Changqing said with a smile.
"If you need help, just say it." Xiao Luo looked at the man's suspicious face, then went back to sit down, and continued to eat side dishes and drink wine.
"I'm talking about this brother." Li Changqing said to the man: "How can I say that it is also a tavern, and I give you two drinks to drink, in fact, there is no problem, but things are not done like this, and again and again, you can't come to beg for wine every day, otherwise it will give you free wine every day, and it will be unfair to other guests who pay the bill, right?" β
"Hey, hey." The man grinned, and then said, "Actually, I didn't plan to drink in vain today. β
"Oh, if you have money, please." Li Changqing made a gesture to Jean.
"No money." The man shook his head.
"And you're going to do that?" Li Changqing looked the man up and down, then frowned and said, "Are you going to sell yourself?" I'm sorry, I'm not good at this, there was originally a good one named Peng Ning in this city, but it's a pity that you came late, otherwise you two can play together. β
"The shopkeeper misunderstood, I'm not selling myself, I can tell you a story." The man hurriedly said.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
Li Changqing's eyes widened, he seemed to have heard the most ridiculous thing in the world!
You tell me a story?
You don't go out to inquire, who wrote the most popular "Lu Zhishen vs. Nie Xiaoqian" in Changting Town!
Seeing the rather disdainful expression on Li Changqing's face, the man was not annoyed, but said with a smile: "That's it, I'll tell you a story, if you think it's good, you can invite me to drink?" How is it? If you don't think it sounds good, you don't have to invite me to drink, I'll get out of here. β
"Yo, come!"
Li Changqing was also curious about what interesting stories this man could tell and let him invite him to drink.
"Good!"
The man pondered for a moment, then found a stool to sit down and began to tell Li Changqing the magical story he had encountered.
The story is not long, it is still peculiar, and it is also bizarre.
There are twists and turns in the story, and a story is told for half an hour.
Until he finished speaking, the man looked at Li Changqing's face, wanting to see a shocked expression on Li Changqing's face.
But he was disappointed.
Li Changqing didn't have any expression, and was even a little sleepy.
This took the man by surprise.
In the past, this trick can be said to have been tried and tested, how can it be possible to tell a story, and the other party is not interested!
This is one of the most exciting stories that I have traveled all over the country and encountered all kinds of bizarre and even bloody stories.
I told others before, and the people who listened to it were all stunned, and they couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" β
"Done?" Li Changqing asked slowly.
"Doesn't sound good? Isn't it bizarre? The man asked unwillingly.
"What do you say?"
Li Changqing is a little helpless, in fact, normally speaking, the story is quite bizarre and very story-like, but Li Changqing is a time-traveler who crossed over from Blue Star, in that era when the Internet is still involuted by all kinds of stories, this kind of story is really very bland, and there is nothing to hear.
"It's kind of boring." Li Changqing said calmly.
"I don't believe it, I'll tell you a scary story this time!" The man said angrily.
"Oh, I still have something to do, where did you come from, go back." Li Changqing was really not interested in listening to it.
"I'll tell you a scary story this time, if you don't get scared, I'll give you a piece of information." The man said categorically.
"You still know the intelligence?" Li Changqing looked at this man with some suspicion.
"Nonsense." The man snorted coldly and said, "In terms of intelligence, I, Zhen Wanshou, am not in vain. β
"Zhen Wanshou, your name, why don't you call it a real beast." Li Changqing couldn't help but complain.
"Less nonsense, I'm going to start!"
Zhen Wanshou's voice was also low: "I once traveled to a small city, I forgot what the name of that small city was, but it is said that there are ghost clans in that small city......
Zhen Wanshou was talking about painting sound and color, and when he talked about the ghost clan actually showing a head out of the water, he himself shuddered.
He looked at Li Changqing fiercely at this time, wanting to see Li Changqing's frightened pale face.
As a result, it was Li Changqing's snoring......
Li Changqing actually fell asleep on the table.
Zhang Fuguang was busy in the store.
Zhen Wanshou's face was pale, he didn't expect that the horror story he told would actually tell Li Changqing that he was asleep.
This made Zhen Wanshou feel an extreme sense of frustration.
"Wake up."
Zhen Wanshou hurriedly woke up Li Changqing.
"Huh? Are you done? Li Changqing asked with a yawn.
"Is it really that boring?" Zhen Wanshou had a devastated face at the moment.
"It's not that scary."
For Li Changqing, who has watched countless horror movies in his previous life, the horror stories told by Zhen Wanshou are simply kindergarten-level.
"I'm asking you for a piece of information, what do you want to know?" Zhen Wanshou said in frustration.
"Any kind of information?"
Li Changqing couldn't help asking.
"Pretty much." Zhen Wanshou said very confidently.
Li Changqing pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Who is my wife?" β
Zhen Wanshou: "Are you sick?" β
Who is your wife, you ask me?
"Don't you know everything?" Li Changqing couldn't help but ask.
"I'm not God, I know everything." Zhen Wanshou said depressedly: "And you don't even know who your own wife is, and I don't even know, so I'll ask another one." β
"Do you know Li Hengsheng?" Li Changqing asked his son's question.
"Li Hengsheng?" Zhen Wanshou pondered for a moment, and asked not very surely: "Is it the newly appointed inspector of the White Snake Dao?" β
"You really do." Li Changqing was a little surprised.
"I will know a lot about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion. It's close, after all. Zhen Wanshou said with a smile.
"He's been in any trouble lately." Li Changqing mainly wanted to ask this question, although Li Changqing had come to Ziwu City, he was only closer to the Zhenguo Mansion, relying on Bai Jingfei's Intelligence Department, and the information sent was somewhat slow.
Unexpectedly, this Zhen Wanshou in front of him actually knew the situation of Zhenguo Mansion.
"I don't know, but I can ask you." Zhen Wanshou said: "I can give you news very quickly. β
"How fast?" Li Changqing asked.
"Two hours." Zhen Wanshou said confidently.
"So fast?"
Li Changqing couldn't believe it.
"There are a lot of people here, you take me to find a place with fewer people, and I'll ask you." Zhen Wanshou looked around and said.
Although Li Changqing didn't know who Zhen Wanshou was going to ask, he still took Zhen Wanshou to the backyard, and then asked Zhang Fuguang to help look ahead.
"There's no one here, just ask." Li Changqing wanted to see what the hell Zhen Wanshou wanted to do.
Who knew that at this time, Zhen Wanshou suddenly raised his head, and then made a strange sound from Zhen Wanshou's throat, the sound was gurgling, not at all like the sound that a normal human can make.
Before Li Changqing could understand what was going on, a sparrow actually flew from the sky.
The sparrow fell directly on Zhen Wanshou's shoulder, Zhen Wanshou smiled, and spoke to the sparrow in that grunting language.
The sparrow also chirped in response, then flapped its wings and flew away.
"It's ...... Beast language? Li Changqing was taken aback.
This Zhen Wanshou actually knows the language of beasts!
This made Li Changqing completely unexpected, this thing that didn't look good, was actually such a strange person.
"My family has already gone to the White Snake Road in Zhenguo Mansion, it will inquire about Li Hengsheng's information, and then come back to tell me that it won't be long before I can come back."
Zhen Wanshou said proudly.
"You beast language, you're really amazing!" Li Changqing looked at Zhen Wanshou with blank eyes, this ability is too awesome.
"Can you show me another show?"
Li Changqing asked.
"Yes!"
Zhen Wanshou seemed to finally see the shocked expression on Li Changqing's face, and he was very satisfied, and he also decided to show off.
I saw that Zhen Wanshou made that strange sound again, and a squirrel ran in the distance and came to Zhen Wanshou.
Then Zhen Wanshou said something to the squirrel, and then the squirrel nodded, and also said something, turned his head and ran away.
"I told him that when I came to a place with a lot of pine cones, I asked him to go over there looking for food, and then he said thank you."
"How?" Zhen Wanshou said triumphantly.
However, at this time, Li Changqing closed his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhen Wanshou asked curiously.
Li Changqing opened his eyes, then raised his head to look at the sky, just as a pigeon flew over, Li Changqing opened his mouth, and it turned out to be the same sound as Zhen Wanshou from his mouth.
When the passing pigeons heard Li Changqing's voice, they turned their heads and flew towards Li Changqing.
Li Changqing stretched out his hand, and the pigeon landed on Li Changqing's arm.
This scene made Zhen Wanshou's face change greatly on the spot!
How can it be!
This ability is when Zhen Wanshou was young, when he comprehended a picture of a hundred beasts, he did not comprehend any exercises, and was regarded as a waste by his family and expelled from the house.
As a result, by virtue of being able to talk to beasts, Zhen Wanshou can be said to be very free, at the beginning, he sold a lot of information in exchange for life, but because of selling intelligence, he was chased and killed, and his strength was already very average, and he almost died several times.
If it weren't for the help of many of the beast's friends, he would have died, so he began a wandering career, never choosing to sell information again.
Instead, I like to listen to these animals tell strange stories that they see everywhere.
Zhen Wanshou told people stories everywhere to exchange for wine.
It wasn't until he came to Wucheng that he met Li Changqing, but his story didn't convince Li Changqing, so Zhen Wanshou performed this stunt.
He never thought that Li Changqing would do the same thing as him in an instant.
"You're an artist?" Zhen Wanshou couldn't believe his eyes.
But his ability was once seen by a senior painter, and no one learned it.
Could it be that the person in front of him is a painting saint?
Li Changqing ignored it, and muttered something to the pigeon, Li Changqing thought that with this ability, he would be able to ask the little animal or something to help him get some information about his son in the future.
But Li Changqing still thought a little too simply.
When the pigeon purred and spoke, Li Changqing was dumbfounded.
He can communicate with the pigeons, but he can't understand what the pigeons are talking to.
Will say but will not listen.
Zhen Wanshou also laughed when he saw this.
originally thought that Li Changqing had learned his ability, but who knew that he had only learned half of it.
In the end, the pigeon found that Li Changqing couldn't understand what it was saying, and flew away angrily.
"It's amazing." Zhen Wanshou also said praisefully.
After all, it's already great to be able to learn to speak.
"Do you want to stay, and you will have wine every day from now on." Li Changqing felt that since he couldn't learn this convenient ability, he simply let Zhen Wanshou stay for his own use.
"I'm used to being lazy and don't like to stay in one place for too long." Zhen Wanshou directly refused.
"No matter how good the wine is, there will be a day when you get tired of drinking." Zhen Wanshou said with a smile: "You have taken a fancy to my ability and want me to get you information, right?" β
"Yes." Li Changqing did not hide it.
"There is a day when you get tired of drinking, but there is never a day when you can't get enough of the story, right?" Li Changqing smiled and said, "You like to listen to stories? So I'll tell you a story, and if you think my story is good, how about you stay? β
"You also tell stories?" Zhen Wanshou looked at Li Changqing with some doubts.
"Hah!"
"Hah!"
You don't go to Changting Town to inquire, who wrote the story of "Zhao Zilong's Seven in and Seven Out of Pan Jinlian Killed with a Long Spear" that Shi Yanzhai listened to all the old men with a flushed face.
"Then I'll tell you one." Li Changqing took a deep breath.
"Okay, I'll listen to your story." Zhen Wanshou sat directly on the ground, but he didn't have any expectations on his face, after all, he had heard all kinds of bizarre stories over the years, even if Li Changqing told the flowers, he wouldn't feel anything.
"Okay, then I'll tell you a little bit more penetrating, right?" Li Changqing's voice calmed down.
"Say, I'll listen." Zhen Wanshou said with a smile.
Li Changqing pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Have you ever heard of a painting called "Sadako"?" β
"Sadako?"
Zhen Wanshou shook his head in confusion, obviously he had never heard of this name.
"It's a figure painting."
"The person in the painting is a woman, and this woman is called Sadako, but she is actually a ghost clan."
"Someone gets this figure painting, but when someone comes to the idea, they find Sadako crawling out of the painting......"
"The only way is to find another artist to copy this painting and give it to someone else to comprehend, otherwise you will die in seven days......
Li Hengsheng adapted the story of "Midnight Bell" a little, and then told Zhen Wanshou in a colorful voice.
The expression on Zhen Wanshou's face changed from curiosity at the beginning, slowly became solemn, and at the end, he even widened his eyes, showing a look of horror in his eyes.
Curse kills.
And it will become a scream of Sadako in her sleep, and many people will not dare to sleep.
When Li Changqing finished telling Sadako's story, Zhen Wanshou sat there dumbfounded, his face was all sweaty.
Even the palms of his hands were shaking.
He's heard many, many stories.
But it was the first time he had heard such a bizarre and terrifying story told by Li Changqing.
"How's it going, is the story good?" Li Changqing looked at Zhen Wanshou seriously and said.
"Good, good." Zhen Wanshou climbed up directly and asked with a frightened face, "Is that painting really gone now?" β
"You want to see that painting?" Li Changqing asked lightly.
Zhen Wanshou directly shook his head like a rattle.
He didn't want to die!
It was at this time that the little sparrow that had been sent out by Zhen Wanshou before had already flown back and landed on Zhen Wanshou's shoulder, and then chattered in Zhen Wanshou's ear.
Zhen Wanshou nodded, and then released the sparrow.
"Got news?" Li Changqing had to sigh that this news was really convenient.
"After Li Hengsheng became this patrol envoy, there was basically no one under his command to use, and tonight Li Hengsheng took action, it seems that he wants to do something to the shogunate, and the shogunate wants to escort a group of women to the Great Wilderness City to be prostitutes." Zhen Wanshou said with a smile: "Originally, I wanted to let the inspection government assist, but now it seems that Li Hengsheng is preparing to take them away." β
"This kid ......" Li Changqing shook his head slightly.
However, Li Changqing also knows something about the affairs of the Zhenguo Mansion, and the forces of the White Snake Dao are indeed all evil, and Li Changqing is just worried that Li Hengsheng will suffer.
"Okay, you can stay, right? If you stay, the wine will be given to you to drink, and the story will be told to you, how? Li Changqing tempted Zhen Wanshou.
"This ......"
Zhen Wanshou was really moved.
The story Li Changqing told was really bizarre, and he really wanted to continue to hear what else Li Changqing had to say.
"Okay." Zhen Wanshou agreed.
Tushan City.
It was getting dark.
As it got late, there was no one in sight on the whole street.
At this time, the big cars on the street were heading in the direction of the dock, and there were huge wooden boxes on the cars, and there were sounds from time to time.
The leader was Muo of the shogunate.
Behind him, large and small, there were more than a dozen shogunate thugs.
At this moment, Mu Xiong raised his hand and motioned for the car behind him to stop.
Because he saw someone in front of him.
