Pei Ye was stunned when he heard this: "See you in a coma?" ”

"Yes, Pei Shaoxia." Zi Huang took a deep breath, "I don't know if I'm awake, or if it's the hazy truth I saw when I opened my eyelids or the messy dream in a coma. ”

Zihuang felt like she was being thrown to the ground.

Even in the dark, he dimly felt that he was not alone, and he should have replaced the fate of the original black-robed man.

The serious injuries in the body were repaired by the power that poured out of the abdomen, but it was not a one-time effort. He had never been so badly wounded, and his consciousness was buried in a thick darkness that was not quiet, but constantly turbulent and churning, and from time to time flashed with psychedelic and brilliant sequins.

He didn't know how long it had been, he didn't know whether his mind was flowing with uncontrolled consciousness or confused dreams, but he felt a shaky tremor - he seemed to be being moved.

Then it seemed to stop again, and he began to feel a distant silence.

The dream seemed to be wrapped in a faint layer of blue, and in the haze, a strange and hissing female voice drilled in like a filament, as if it was deep into the heart from the ear piercing, Zi Huang began to feel a frightened suffocation, he couldn't move, he felt like a fish dying out of water, heart and lungs, mind, consciousness. Anyway, there's always a place that's about to explode.

He felt himself struggling to climb in the direction of the sound, and then, somehow, some part of his body was mobilized by his strong desire, and a scene suddenly appeared in his consciousness.

I don't know if it was through his eyes, he saw Cangshan like a grain of rice under the dragon's body.

It was as if a loud bell suddenly cleared away all the noise, and those chaotic and beautiful chaos disappeared at once, and only this sacred and sublime, immortal and magnificent, surrender and worship scene remained in Zihuang's consciousness, which was firmly imprinted in his heart.

Before the violently stimulated consciousness fell asleep completely, one last thought passed through Zihuang's heart.

This. It's the real thing

a corner.

"Pei Shaoxia should know what happened later."

In the quiet room, Zi Huang whispered, "I was taken to another place and fought with those people like worms, until Master Zhu found out there and replaced me." ”

"I lost my cultivation, but I also got rid of the fate of being reduced to nourishment, and after I got out of the mountains, I lay in bed for half a month, during which the Shenjing Senrentai came to me, and I told them all the things I knew. They told me to keep my mouth shut and forget about it. ”

Zihuang was silent for a while, and said unexpectedly: "I agreed." ”

Pei Ye looked at him with a slight surprise.

The man in front of him showed a weak and weak chuckle: "Pei Shaoxia thinks highly of me, the wicked people I have fought all my life are just some bandits and evil people, and the strongest opponents hidden in my heart are only Meng Chuyuan and Luo Defeng I believe that this is not something I should touch, in the past, let it pass." ”

Then the man put away and sighed lightly, looked at the night window quietly, and said for a long time: "But it has been haunting me." ”

"Every night since I came back, I have dreamed of that god-like image." Zi Huang retracted his gaze and slowly covered his face with his hands, "At first, I thought it was just the aftermath of emotion, but then I found that it would not dim and disappear at all I couldn't help but want to know its full picture, I couldn't help but want to see it again, and as soon as I closed my eyes, it firmly occupied my entire consciousness."

"It took me a month to get used to living under its watchful eye, but I still feel its calling to me from time to time." Zi Huang was stunned, "Xu Yanhe persuaded me to accept it like this, maybe ten or twenty years later, it will be bleak and gone. But I can't stand that. ”

"Since it won't let me go, I'm going to have to turn around and see what it is." The man whispered, "After getting out of bed half a month ago, I went to Xiangzhou again."

He was silent suddenly, and then smiled again: "Pei Shaoxia, in the past, when I was carrying the Eight Lives Meridian Tree, I didn't think there was anything too special, I still came and went, or I was eating and drinking, but when I really lost all this. I really regained my weakness as an ordinary person. ”

"Heavy, procrastinating, powerless, all of this brings with it a narrow range of what is heard and seen, and an frighteningly low efficiency. It was as if the world was covered with a fog before my eyes, and I wandered there for half a month, but I found nothing. The man who still looked sharp revealed his vulnerability at this time, "August is also the most important time for Baizhu in several years, Xu Yanhe didn't have time to help me, so it wasn't until these few days that he had time to spare time." ”

"That's it."

The candle flame danced silently, and Pei Ye said slowly: "What does that picture look like?" ”

Zi Huang was silent for a while, then got up and returned to the bookshelf and took out a short scroll that was heavily wrapped: "I drew it myself, and I didn't dare to ask someone to catch a pen. I don't really want to show it to anyone. ”

The man slowly placed it on the table heavily, as if moving a strange curse, Pei Li took it, and without the slightest pause, unfolded the scroll.

A magnificent picture comes into view.

Zihuang loves to paint, and his own painting skills are also carved, but no one pays attention to the brush and ink techniques in this square drawing, and the objects painted in it have taken away all attention.

The shape of a premature python occupies most of the scroll, with no head, claws and tail, but the trend of growth with scales should be from top to bottom. The difference from the dragon is that its abdomen is also covered with smooth and fine scales, and the whole body is round, without the shape of up, down, left and right.

Two extremely thin and long blue lines climbed irregularly on this section of the body, and if you didn't look closely, you would miss it.

In the lower half of the scroll, there is a shadow of a lofty mountain, and the clouds, high trees, birds, and green shadows fill the remaining space.

Even if Pei Li had never had experience in appreciating paintings, he could see at a glance that this was a dry drawing.

The ethereal fairy will, the cold scales, this is the fairy dragon in the world of the magnificent scenery, touch the soul, go straight to the deepest part of the heart and spirit realm, it is not facing the eye, but all the spiritual sense of a person. And now, even though the purple fence has been vigorously displayed, those spirituality and divine consciousness can only fall into the colors and shapes of the human world, turning into a flat picture.

But it's still fascinating.

Pei Ye looked at it for a long time before he said softly: "Is it only this one?" ”

"That's all I saw."

Pei Ye raised his head: "But didn't Xi Tian see the panorama, didn't the picture he left behind be presented to his predecessors through the painting?" ”

Zihuang was silent: "I forgot. ”

"What?"

"I forgot." Zihuang looked at him, "I know I've seen the whole picture, and I remember vividly the first time I saw it, but I forgot what it was." ”

"When this piece of authenticity comes to mind. The fake will never be recovered, my consciousness. I'm not allowed to fill in the contents of that memory on this piece of authenticity. ”

“.”

Pei Ye looked at this scaly half-claw, this should be the rightmost top of this picture, and what do the rest depict?

This dragon fell from the sky, where is it going, and what is the end. It will be.

After a long time, Pei Licai said in a low voice: "Senior. Didn't you tell Senjintai about this? ”

"Yes, but they didn't find what I said, and they later came to me to confirm that they had completed the details twice, but it still didn't work. That's why I'm even more skeptical that it never existed, and if everything was just my psychedelic imagination. ”

But after all, the predecessors still went to find the picture scroll, and now they are indeed eyeing this peddler."

Zi Huang smiled weakly again: "I'm just wandering around." ”

"Why don't you talk about it?"

Are you sure you're looking for it?" Zi Huang was silent for a moment and looked at the young man, "It will only end up without a problem, even if you find a gap. What you get is nothing but a nightmare. ”

Pei Ye said softly: "It's different from my predecessors, even if it doesn't pester me. I won't let it go either. ”

"Okay." Zi Huang took a deep breath, his gaze slowly condensed, "From the moment I got out of bed, I knew that if I wanted to find this picture, I couldn't start from my matter. ”

"I don't remember anything, and there's no point in going where I was going again - I told Xianrentai about it, but they didn't find anything." Zihuang said softly, "If you want to investigate this matter, you have to start with Xi Tian back then." ”

"First, why did Xi Tian suddenly go deep into the sky and find the location of that map accurately? If it is too far-fetched to say that it is a coincidence, he must have a motive that is not known to outsiders; Second, how can he be a painter who has no cultivation, how can he travel back and forth in the mountains for a month unharmed, and he enters the mountain alone? Or is there someone escorting? ”

"Figuring out these two points will give you a grip on the tail of that thing, but thirty years have passed." Zi Huang was silent for a moment, "That's how I set my sights on the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce. ”

Pei Li looked up at him.

"The paintings of Western Tian back then were mostly sold under the name of the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce, and many of the paintings we later collected were also purchased by Qiyun, if thirty years have passed, where can there be some Western Tian news, I am afraid that they are the first ones."

"But these days, Xu Yanhe doesn't have time." Zi Huang smiled helplessly, "He didn't let me go to Xiangzhou again, so when I heard that Qi Yun came to Bowang, I pulled Xu Yanhe to star, I didn't want to have a real harvest, but this harvest is now in the hands of Xianrentai." ”

After bidding farewell to Zihuang, he came out of the white bamboo courtyard, and the sky was already cloudy.

Pei Ye carried the glass and the black cat, and returned to the Cuiyu Courtyard in silence all the way, without saying a word.

It wasn't until he lay on the bed with his head in his hands that he leaned his neck and whispered, "Kitten, what do you say this is?" ”

The black cat took its mouth away from Pei Li's neck and was silent.

"Picture scroll. It's something new again. Pei Li thought quietly, "Did anything have anything to do with it before?" ”

"Nope." "It's the first time it appears. ”

“.”

"But we can speculate." The black cat said calmly, "Do you still remember, when did Huan Death Lou move his hand against the Hushan Sword Gate?" ”

July 15. Pei Li's eyes froze, "The actions of the Happy Death Building and the Candle World Sect were launched almost at the same time, one way to meet the Immortal Monarch, and the other way."

"The other way, presumably paved the way after the Dragon Monarch is killed."

Pei Ye was shocked.

"You don't want to see the land sink in Kyushu, so I said that even if the whole Bowang is buried, it will not make him succeed." The black cat said softly, "The Candle World Sect didn't exist in that Gu cage-like valley from the beginning, the place where this painting is located should be where they came from. ”

It stretched out its claws and drew two vertical lines at the head of the bed, dividing into three sections: "The matter of August salary is the middle section, the so-called 'immortal picture scroll' is the antecedent of this matter, and the things taken by Huan Death Lou are the future of this matter." ”

Pei Ye stared: "But Shenjing Xianrentai didn't make a move on the matter of Huan Death Building." ”

"Because that's what I guessed." The black cat said calmly.

“.”

"But I can often guess correctly." It jumped back to Pei Li's shoulder, "Anyway, we won't know until you can open Yang Yanyu's pendant." Now that the middle link is broken, what was originally intended for the Immortal Monarch has become an ownerless thing. So it's all the aftermath of that incident. ”

"Maybe." Pei Li's mind was still on the picture scroll, "That vendor came by the line of the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce, and Wuhe Jian said that he was most likely from the outside line of the Happy Death Building, but the Qiyun Chamber of Commerce was faintly related to the Candle World Sect."

"That's why I said they got together."

Why are they getting together?" Pei Ye looked at Fang Liang, "How did this picture scroll exist from the search of Shenjing Immortal Terrace?" ”

"Anyway, it won't work." The black cat looked at him quietly.

"Then why don't we go and have a look?" Pei Li's eyes looked back at the black cat sharply, "Let them entangle the 'future' here, let's go and see what kind of demon this 'antecedent' is. Do you think it's okay? ”

"Absolutely." The black cat said calmly, "Anyway, you can't help here anyway, you will only twist the bed like a maggot." ”

"I'm a very important bait." Pei Li lifted it up and said seriously.

But the next day, the bait lost its purpose.

Pei Ye thought that he was part of the plan of the Wuhe Inspection, and after waking up, he planned to go to the Xianrentai to inform him of his plans first, so as not to disturb the trap, but Ming Qitian came back from there first.

"Pei Li, do you want to go with me to the Kongtong Sect to ask for the sword?" The woman said.

"Miss Ming, don't you stay in Bowang to help Xianrentai ambush Huan Death Building?"

"They said that if I stayed here, I might not come at all."

"I'm also thinking about going south, Miss Ming, but I can't get to Kongtong, I want to stop in Xiangzhou."

Ming Qitian groaned.

"You don't have to delay your trip for me, Miss Ming." Pei Ye hurriedly said, "The time for you to ask the sword is also very urgent, so you don't have to follow me all the time." ”

Mingqi said peacefully: "I don't want to follow you, Xiangzhou is within three hundred miles of Kongtong, as long as you bring the glass with you, the crane clothes on the second order of Xuanmen can't hurt you." ”

"Oh."

At this time, the girl in the green skirt walked out, a little dazed: "Are you leaving?" ”

"Nope." Pei Li said, "Miss Ming went to Kongtong to ask for the sword, and I went to Xiangzhou to investigate some things. Do you stay in Bowang? Or with whom? ”

"I'm going to ask the sword master for the sword!" The girl's eyes lit up, and she looked at the young man next to her carefully, and whispered, "Is it okay?" ”

"Whatever you want." Pei Ye's face was expressionless.
