Chapter 6 The Origin of the Repair

When Cui Yuanzao took Lan Yin and Sun Mao to the Eastern Zen Temple, the abbot master was already waiting aside.

After Cui Yuanzao asked Sun Mao to guard the Dongchan Temple, he walked into the courtyard with Lan Yin and the abbot.

Cui Yuanzao has certainly heard Zhao Jinggong Temple's "Hell Change", but because he himself believes in Taoism, "Hell Change" has been mottled for more than a hundred years, and this is the first time he has seen this mural.

Although the mural is mottled, it is extremely imposing, and if it is in its heyday, it must be extremely realistic.

"Has Lu Qian already repaired some of it?" Choi found that some parts of the mural had obvious traces of modification.

"Indeed, he died violently after three days and three nights of repair." The abbot replied.

"Master, why did you invite Lu Qian?" Cui Yuanzao asked the abbot while inspecting the corners of the Eastern Zen Temple.

"Amitabha, it is indeed a poor monk who owes consideration. At that time, after hearing the story of Lu Qian and Whampoa, I thought that if Lu Qian could repair the murals and tell them at that time, there would be more pilgrims who came to see them, and there would be some benefits in the operation of the temple. ”

This is consistent with what the Wuxin Zen Master said.

"Who did the abbot master listen to talk about Lu Qian?"

"I placed an order in the temple, and now it's already gone."

"I heard the little novice of the temple say, a few days ago, the temple saw a ghost, and the abbot master let people say that it was a fox demon, what happened?" Cui Yuanzao asked bluntly.

"Amitabha, the poor monk also didn't want to cause panic, so he pushed the fox demon. After all, the fox demon didn't do anything harmful, and the ghost was too scary. Master Cui Shi, have you ever heard of the ghost in the painting coming out of the painting? ”

"I've heard of it." Cui Yuanzao frowned.

He did hear that in the middle years of Dezong's construction, someone in Chang'an led a horse to visit a horse doctor, and begged for a horse to cure a foot disease with twenty copper coins.

The horse doctor looked at the horse's coat color and bone appearance, and was very surprised, so he took the horse to meet him

Han Gan, Han Gan looked at the horse, saw that its front hooves were damaged, and determined that it was the horse he had drawn.

In the Yuanhe period of Xianzong, there was a student studying in the villa by the Qujiang River, and one day, the ladies in the screen came out of the painting and made a poem to the student. The student thought that he was dreaming and went to Qujiang to relax, but he didn't expect to see the lady again by the Qujiang River, and she was still chanting that poem. When the student returned to the villa, the screen was empty.

When these two events happened, it was only a few decades ago, and some old people who had seen the horse were still alive, and they still say that they are still conclusive.

In short, there is a legend about people coming down from paintings, but I have never heard of ghosts coming down from paintings.

Cui Yuanzao thought for a while, and then asked: "Has the master ever thought about why he has never heard of the ghosts in "Hell Change" for more than a hundred years, and the ghosts came out of the mural as soon as Lu Qian died?" ”

"Amitabha, maybe because Lu Qian committed the same crime as Wu Daozi, he angered the ghosts in the painting, but I don't know."

Cui Yuanzao was noncommittal, but his sleeve was pulled by Lan Yin, so he said to the abbot: "Master, if you have something, go and get busy, let's take a look around." ”

After the abbot master walked away, Cui Yuanzao said to Lan Yin, "Did you find anything?" ”

"You see, the strength and posture of these two pen movements are completely different." Lan Yin pointed to a newly modified local passage on the mural.

"What do you mean?"

"Anyone who practices martial arts knows that once you are used to a posture to move a sword, it is difficult to change, and I think it's the same with painting."

"You mean two people have repaired the mural." Cui Yuanzao looked carefully at the place Lan Yin was pointing to, "The traces are all new, and I can't see the order." ”

"In other words, in addition to Lu Qian, there is another person!"

Cui Yuanzao and Lan Yin looked at each other, and the matter became more and more complicated.

"Say, could it be the guy we saw last night?" Lane Road.

"I don't know, but if this person killed Lu Qian, then where was he hiding? How did you kill it? Cui Yuanzao looked at the empty Dongzen Temple.

Lan Yin also sighed, everyone suspected that she had killed Lu Qian, and it was also because there was nothing left in this Eastern Zen Temple except for the murals on the wall, not even a Bodhisattva statue.

"Sun Prison, please get me a rubbish of "Hell Change"." Cui Yuanzao shouted outside the courtyard.

After a while, a scroll was handed over.

Cui Yuanzao unfolded the scroll and looked at the mural.

Sun Mao hadn't left yet, but greeted Lan Yin, "Yang Niangzi, it's almost night, you're hungry, this is a famous spot in Chang'an, Cherry Biluo, you and Cui Pingshi should deal with the two of you." ”

"Oh, Sun Prison Cheng, how is this embarrassing? Thank you so much! ”

Cui Yuanzao has always been distracted from doing things, but at this moment, he can't concentrate on looking at the picture scroll, he only feels that they are noisy, and he is afraid that they will be hooked up, so he can only say coldly: "Thank you Sun Prison, let Lingcong do these things in the future." ”

"There is no progress on Lingcong's side, let me do these little things." Sun Mao respectfully withdrew.

Lan Yin began to tremble and eat.

Cui Yuanzao felt strange, obviously he used to think that Lan Yin looked like a mole when she ate, which was quite cute, but now she felt that the sound of her eating was extremely ugly and unbearable.

He finally put down the scroll that he couldn't look at, and mocked: "It's so delicious? ”

"It's delicious, do you want to eat it?"

"You really don't have a long memory, you dare to send something that someone gives you directly into your mouth? Isn't the lesson deep? ”

Lan Yin was stunned, looked at Cui Yuanzao, and then at Cherry Biluo, then Sun Prison Cheng wouldn't be poisoned again, right? Oh, she is not afraid, she doesn't have to worry about debts, and she doesn't itch with lice.

Lan Yin deliberately waved the cherry Biluo in his hand at Cui Yuanzao, and continued to eat in front of him.

In fact, as soon as he finished saying that sentence, Cui Yuanzao regretted it, he felt so strange, that is, a waste of time, and irrational?

Cui Yuanzao no longer looked at Lan Yin and continued to look up at the mural.

At this time, the night outside was hazy, and Cui Yuanzao just wanted to order the lamp, but he saw a small spot of light on the mural, and when he looked along the light, he actually saw a very small hole in the roof.

"Don't eat it."

"I love to eat, just poison me." Lan Yin deliberately gambled.

"Don't eat, send me up to the beam."

Hearing Cui Yuanzao's serious tone, Lan Yin knew what he had found, and when she looked at him, she also found out, and hurriedly threw away Bi Luo in her hand, hugged Cui Yuanzao's waist, and flew up to the beam of the room with a sigh of relief.

"How?"

"It looks like it's artificial." Cui Yuanzao touched the nicks on the tiles and said.

"It seems that that person killed Lu Qian through this small hole, right?" Lan Yin hugged Cui Yuanzao's waist and jumped off the beam again.

Cui Yuanzao twisted his body quite uncomfortably, a foot away from Lan Yin.

He looked up at the hole and said, "Such a small hole, if it weren't for this hour, no matter what, we wouldn't have been able to find it." This hole is so small, what sharp weapon can pass through it and kill Lu Qian? What's more, he didn't find any external injuries on Lu Qian's body? ”
