Kitsune, Bo Du and Feng Xing have to do their main quest separately, and no one can follow Tao Nai to the main Buddha Hall.

Tao Nai was not in a hurry, and casually grabbed Jieyu, who was trying to take a step first: "Go, come with me to clean the main Buddha hall."

Jieyu put his hands around his chest and looked at Tao Nai with his eyes down, "Tao Nai, this is another price."

"Are you trying to force me to swear your allegiance to me in front of other players?" Taunai asked with a smile.

Jie Yu glanced at Tao Nai with resentment in his eyes, and sighed resignedly: "Okay, okay, you have the final say."

When she arrived at the main Buddha hall, Tao Nai asked Jieyu to mop the floor, and she was in charge of wiping down places like the offering table.

Today's Buddhist hall seems very quiet, perhaps because of the daily cleaning, so looking at it, the Buddhist hall is not dirty, Tao Nai and Jieyu do things quickly, it only took an hour, and the cleaning has entered the finishing stage.

After wiping the table, Tao Nai went to look for Jieyu and saw Jieyu standing in front of the Buddha statue in a daze.

When he came over, he wanted to give Jieyu a slap, but Tao Nai said angrily, "It's only been a while that I haven't looked at you, and you're lazy here?!"

Jie Yu hurriedly waved his hand, and then pointed to the Buddha statue: "No, I think I haven't been here for a few days, why does this Buddha statue look a little different from before?"

Tao Nai's heart sank, and she followed Jieyu's gaze and found a clue: "Why did the Buddha's eyes of the Buddha statue close a little?"

Because he comes to the temple every day to clean, Tao Nai pays special attention to the changes in these details.

When she came to clean the Buddha hall yesterday, the Buddha statue was still in a state of full open eyes.

But now, the eyelids of the Buddha statue are slightly drooping, although the arc is not large, but the eyes are indeed slightly closed.

Jieyu: "What's going on? Someone can't have moved this Buddha statue while we weren't looking."

"Of course not, this Buddha statue is so big, if someone really touches it, it will definitely make a big movement, and we won't be unaware. It can be seen that the Buddha statue should have closed its eyes autonomously." After Tao Nai came to this conclusion, he clearly felt goosebumps trembling behind him.

A Buddha statue would suddenly close its eyes, and Tao Nai felt unbelievable when he thought about it.

However, there seems to be nothing wrong with the Buddha statue closing its eyes.

It was quiet in the hall, and nothing else came out to interfere with their cleaning.

"Let's finish today's cleaning mission first." Taunai said, picking up a piece of paper on the ground and throwing it in the trash.

Jieyu withdrew his gaze from observing the Buddha statue, and bent down to sweep the ground with all his might.

Ten minutes later, Taunai heard a system chime in his head.

[Ding-Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest of the day, current purification value: 63%]

Seeing that there was almost no increase in purification value, Tao Nai rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "Let's go, let's go to the studio."

Along the way, they drove to the studio, and it was already midnight when Tao Nai and Jieyu arrived outside the studio.

There was an unclear light in the silent studio, and the dim yellow light seeped through the window paper, making it look dim, so that Tao Nai could not see the situation in my studio at all.

Squeak-

As Jie Yu slowly pushed open the closed door of the studio, Tao Nai stepped into the room and immediately felt a different feeling lingering in his heart.

It was as if she had stepped into the abyss, and she could smell the fragrance wafting through the air very clearly between her breaths.

It was incense ash mixed with other different smells, and the strong fragrance seemed to hide a faint fishy smell. Look at the book

Tao Nai couldn't describe the smell, but felt that the smell was inhaled with his breath, as if it was covering his lungs, and it looked a little sticky.

There seemed to be no one in the studio, and Tao Nai didn't find Mu Xiang.

And at this time, Tao Nai suddenly heard the sound of ticking and ticking

。

It was as if something was dripping on the ground, and the already heavy scent of ink was even more intense, giving Tao Nai the illusion that he was going to swallow his breath.

"Why is the smell of this ink so strong? Someone can't have spilled the ink, right?" Jieyu's smoked head buzzed, and he raised his hand and stirred it twice in disgust.

Tick, tick.

The sound of water dripping was accompanied by the sound of stumbling footsteps, and in the dim light, a hand suddenly pushed open the small door in the studio.

The door shaft has been in disrepair for many years, and when the small door is pushed open, it makes a creaking sound, as if someone has stepped on the body of a mouse, and the sound is sharp and piercing, which is particularly permeable in this silent environment.

Tick, tick-

I saw a man whose whole body was dyed with ink and came out of the room.

Tao Nai recognized this man at a glance as Mu Xiang, his whole body was splashed with different colors of ink, and his skin seemed to be divided into colored patches of color, which were spreading like ripples on his skin with the footsteps of his actions.

Now Mu Xiang is like a clown with heavy makeup in the circus, especially when he hooks the corners of his lips, the corners of his mouth red with ink are matched with his pale face and yellow teeth, and his wide eyes are extremely hollow.

Mu Xiang's throat seemed to be stuffed with something, he kept whimpering, and a cylinder was actually stretched out of his neck.

The cylinder swelled more and more, stretching out the layer of skin on Mu Xiang's neck until only a thin layer remained.

Mu Xiang was choked and couldn't walk, and a hand reached out to his mouth, as if he wanted to pull out something stuffed in his throat.

At this time, Mu Xiang raised a picture scroll in his hand.

Taunai didn't dare to move, her breath was filled with the strong scent of ink.

And just as she was backing away, she accidentally made a faint noise.

Mu Xiang's eyes immediately turned.

He couldn't turn his head because he had something stuffed around his neck, so he could only turn his eyeballs to a limit, and he gasped for breath as he looked at Taunai and Jieyu.

"Draw, Draw——!" Mu Xiang seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and kept shaking his arm, trying to make Tao Nai and them pay attention to the painting in his hand.

"It's a new painting." Tao Nai's eyes lit up and he walked towards Mu Xiang.

Mu Xiang was also very cooperative, stretched out his hand, and handed the painting to Tao Nai.

As a result, before Tao Nai could take the painting, Mu Xiang deliberately let go and dropped the painting on the ground.

The scroll loosens, revealing a hideous and terrifying face on it.

The painting depicts a strange man with a big body and a small head, with a bright red smile like a clown on his face, his neck is very thick, his limbs and torso are messy, and he looks very much like Mu Xiang at this moment.

The signature under the painting is none other than Mu Xiang.

This is actually a painting painted by Mu Xiang!
