XLIX. The Artist's Diary

The old man was incredulous: "How can that be an evil god?" Our family has been enshrined for thirty years. How can it be an evil god? ”

Wen Rou said: "In the past thirty years, what has been your family's luck?" ”

The old man raised his cloudy gaze, thought about the past, and finally shook his head and sighed: "It's not good, it's getting more and more sad, my wife is riddled with all kinds of diseases, my ears have been deaf early, my health is not good, it's getting worse and worse, and my son is gone......"

Wen Rou asked, "How did this evil god of your family come from?" ”

The old man said: "Back then, after Ahang picked it up, he was always sick. My wife went to Xuting Village to ask for a fairy girl, and the fairy aunt said that please go back to our family with an Arhat god, so that we can bless Ahang from getting sick and bless the family. It is not allowed to worship the gods of the family, the family hall, heaven and earth, the land, and the god of wealth...... The original gods in the family are not allowed to be worshipped, and the Spring Festival couplets cannot be pasted during the New Year. As long as you give incense to the Arhat god in the morning and evening. ”

"Immortal Gu told you that this is the Arhat God? What about the fairy girl? Is it enshrined in her own home? ”

"There are a lot of offerings in the fairy girl's house, and if someone asks for it, she will send a god to the person who asks for it."

This wholesale evil god is there.

"What about the fairy girl, are you still alive now?"

"Xian Gu is over eighty years old, deaf and blind, with a tough body, and she still looks young, only fifty or sixty."

"Is the evil god that someone else asks for from her house to be cured?"

"Very spiritual, since I invited back the Arhat God, my family Ahang has rarely been sick."

Sickness is not born, but it kills.

Wen Rou said: "The evil god relies on devouring qi luck and various energies to grow, and human qi luck and energy are its favorite food. ”

The old man looked nervous when he heard this: "Are you saying that all the misfortunes that my family has suffered are because of inviting this Arhat God?" ”

"Most of it, it eats your family's luck, and your family will naturally have bad luck."

"I'm going to throw it out now!"

Wen Rou said: "It's useless, you can only throw its statue out, it won't leave your house." Since your family invited it back, the original aura of the family god in the family has dissipated, and it is no longer protected by any family god, even if it is not there, other evil spirits can enter your house and devour your family's luck and energy at will. ”

The old man sat down on the edge of the bed and muttered, "What to do, what to do?" ”

Douzi said: "According to the results of the level scan, our mallet was able to suppress the evil god of this family and take it." Evil gods can also be refined and absorbed by mallets. If you can absorb this evil god, plus refine and absorb the energy of the ghost thing of the island country and that painting, it will be enough to awaken the spirit of the weapon and upgrade the magic weapon level of the mallet! ”

Saying that, the beans were a little excited: "Rourou, let's quickly collect this evil spirit, so that our mallet can be upgraded as soon as possible!" ”

Wen Rou thought for a moment and said, "It's easy to take in this evil one, but what if it's just an evil nest?" Liu Hang's father said that there was a fairy girl in Xuting Village, and many evil cults were enshrined in her family. These evil cults are afraid that they are organized, and we do not know the strength of the other party, so we have taken the liberty of accepting this little evil cult, and the big evil and the old evil cult in the evil nest have come to us, if we can't defeat it, I am afraid it will be dangerous. ”

Douzi suddenly: "So that's the case, Rourou is so powerful, you can think of this!" Then let's keep this guy first, find out his old background, and then take them off again. ”

Wen Rou said to the old man: "Don't be in a hurry, wait for me to think of a way to help you get rid of this evil, before that, don't act rashly, just like before, how to worship like this." ”

The old man agreed again and again: "I'll take you to Ah Hang's room to have a look, we still have his things, maybe you can find any clues." ”

Liu Hang lived in a room inside, and the old man lifted the curtain and took Wen Rou inside.

This house is very poorly lit because it is surrounded by a side room on the west side as a window.

The old man reached out and pulled the cord switch on the wall, and the light bulb in the room came on.

This room was smaller than the one outside, and with a single bed, a desk, a chair, and a wheelchair, it was full.

The old man went out sideways and let Wen Rou in.

Wen Rou looked around the small room and sat down on a chair.

Books were stacked neatly on both sides of the table.

Wen Rou glanced at the books, most of them were paintings and aesthetics, and a few famous books.

When she saw the book on the right, Wen Rou's eyes swept over, paused, and looked back again, sure enough, there was a book at the bottom of the stack, and the title of the book was Folk Dance.

An art student, still a disabled person, has a book on dance, which is unusual in itself, plus that Xu Lingling happens to be a national dance teacher.

Wen Rou took out the folk dance book and flipped through it.

The 16 folio books on color pages mainly introduce various types of Chinese folk dances.

Wen Rou turned the pages one by one.

When I turned to page eighty-seven, I finally had a surprise.

Here is a pastel gouache painting, cut to a little smaller than the 16-folio, I don't know if it is because of the dampness or the owner deliberately did it, the back has been glued to the page, if you pick up the book and shake it, it will not fall, only turn to this page to find it.

Due to the passage of time, the gouache color has become old, but the painting is clear, and the painting shows a dancing Jiangnan girl.

She is graceful and holding an oil-paper umbrella, like a fairy in the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Because the painting focuses on the physical dance movements, the face is not very clear, but Wen Rou preconceived that this is Xu Lingling.

Wen Rou carefully removed the painting from the pages and placed it on the table.

Douzi said: "Rourou, look at the back." ”

Wen Rou flipped through the painting.

On the back, a sketch, this time there is no need to guess, the sketch of the person's head, it is clear that it is Xu Lingling with long hair.

Xu Lingling had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, smiling sweetly, like looking at her lover again.

Liu Hang's painting skills are very expressive.

So far, Wen Rou feels that there must be something between Liu Hang and Xu Lingling.

If you want to untie Liu Hang's knot, Xu Lingling is the key person.

Douzi said: "Rourou, could it be that Liu Hang's pursuit of Xu Lingling was rejected, and Liu Hang couldn't bear it and committed suicide?" ”

It is very common for students to fall in love with beautiful teachers.

Wen Rou smiled and said: "Your guess is also very reasonable, but we can't just guess. ”

Wen Rou put the painting in her backpack and continued to look for clues.

Flipping through the books on the desk one by one, Wen Rou found a diary for the second time.

The painter's diary is textless, and it is full of pictures, hand-drawn by Liu Hang himself.

Some are pencils, some are fountain pens, and some are painted with various pigments.

In short, this is indeed a genius of painting, with a few brushstrokes, and vivid images leap onto the page.
