In the Human World Chapter 65 The Man in the Painting

Dugu Zhishui came back to his senses and found that the album was extremely thick, at least a finger thick, he carefully opened the cover of the album, and a beautiful woman came into view. In the painting, the woman is wearing a pure white feather robe, a pair of phoenix eyes are slightly narrowed, and her white jade hand is lightly touching her chin, leaning slightly against a stone table, as if she is in a daze.

Dugu Zhishui was stunned, and for a while he only felt dizzy, the woman in the painting was as close as a living person, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch the paper. The paper is cold and smooth at the beginning, as delicate as a baby's skin. Dugu Zhishui was amazed in his heart, this painting paper looked a little yellow, and there were many broken corners in the corners, which were very similar to old paper, but he found an abnormality when he touched it. This painting paper is not paper at all, but some kind of animal skin, Dugu Zhishui even felt a slight spiritual power fluctuation from the paper, this should be the aura remaining in the animal skin. It's hard to imagine what kind of demon beast's fur still has aura remnants after a thousand years.

Dugu Zhishui continued to look through the album, and looked at more than ten photos in a row, all of which were stunning beauties. The women in these paintings have different postures and have their own brilliance. He gradually broke away from his initial nervous excitement, and each subsequent painting, although still amazed him, could no longer make him lose his temper. He methodically flipped through the pages of this "Goddess Illustrated Chronicle", whether it was a real goddess He didn't know, but every woman in the painting was indeed born as graceful as a fairy. In this way, it makes sense that the title of this album is "Picture of the Goddess".

"It is rumored in the world that your ancestor once met a fox girl from Qingqiu, and just saw her side face and missed her day and night, and the profile portrait he painted is the most famous, that painting should also be in it, right?" Dugu Zhishui suddenly raised his head and asked.

Gu Boqing was carefully observing the details in the painting, and when he heard Dugu Zhishui ask him, he was slightly stunned, but then shook his head, "That painting is not in it, it is a separate painting, in my study." ”

"Not here?" Dugu was puzzled, "If it's really like the legend, that painting is the one that should be included." ”

"I'm confused, too, but if you look at that painting, it's a little different from these. Moreover, the legend is not credible. ”

Dugu Zhishui nodded, and continued to look through the album, this album was extremely rich in content, he looked through it for an hour, and he had no intention of looking at it carefully. Finally, he turned to the last page, and he was already a little aesthetically fatigued, and he took a cursory glance and wanted to close it. But in an instant, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, and he jerked to look at the drawing paper again. The person in the painting is wearing a pale cyan bodysuit, perfectly outlining a devil's figure, with a slender waist, hips, straight breasts, and a perfect face that can be blown and broken, this is a peerless stunner. But Dugu Zhishui's focus was not on this, what he cared about was that the woman was standing on the branch of a towering ancient tree at this time, condescendingly "looking" at him, that smile like a flower blooming, even at this moment he still remembered it vividly. Her appearance is not exactly the same as the person in Dugu Zhishui's memory, but it can still be seen that this is the same person, but the woman in front of her has a more mature charm between her eyebrows.

Dugu Zhishui only felt cold all over, and fine sweat gradually oozed from his forehead. He couldn't imagine what kind of conspiracy he was falling into, and what the horrible illusion maker had in mind for him. He still didn't know anything about what happened three years ago, and until now he found it too appalling. He had met a woman who lived at least a thousand years ago in a fantasy world, and some past events had happened, no matter who he said these words, no one would believe them, but this kind of thing really happened to him.

Gu Boqing couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Dugu Zhishui's expression, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I just remembered some of the past. Dugu Zhishui forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and closed the album casually, unwilling to look at the woman in the painting again. He saw the four ancient characters on the cover and suddenly asked, "Do you know these words?"

"I don't know. Gu Boqing shook his head, "I've always been curious about what this word is. ”

"This is a modern text, and few people used it 10,000 years ago. ”

Gu Boqing was surprised: "Do you know?"

"A little. Dugu Zhishui nodded, "These four words are 'Goddess Tuzhi'." Don't you know each other, do you keep calling this album 'The Illustrated Guide to the World'?"

"We call it the ancestral album, and the name 'Illustrated Guide to the World' is what I heard from the outside. ”

"Okay. Dugu Zhishui was a little speechless. "We're getting out of here, let's take this album with us, it's not safe to put it here. ”

"Okay", Gu Boqing took out a gray palm-sized cloth bag and put the album in Dugu Zhishui's incredible gaze.

"What is this?"

"Qiankun bag. ”

Dugu Zhishui gritted his teeth and said: "Didn't you say that you don't have anything valuable? I think this thing is very valuable, why don't you give it to me, from now on, we will go to one side of the road, and I will be troublesome with you." ”

"No! Gu Boqing quickly put the Qiankun bag into his arms, and stared at Dugu Zhishui like a thief.

Dugu Zhishui's face darkened, "Okay, then you give those two little bastards to me, and you will pay off the debt." ”

"Xiaobai and Xiaohua are not things, they are my family and cannot be sent. ”

"You!" Dugu Zhishui raised his middle finger, "This can't work, that's not good, you're in debt, you're the uncle." Dugu Zhishui was in a hurry, and said angrily: "Hurry up and clean up your broken things, Lao Tzu is still waiting to hurry!"

......

A gentle breeze blew, caressing the freshly turned soil, and a few submerged grasses resurfaced, and the delicate branches and buds bent slightly, swaying and happily absorbing the sun and nutrients. The dead white foxes are buried here, and their bodies will give back to nature, providing a rich aura to the surrounding vegetation.

Gu Boqing added a handful of new soil to the small soil bag, and wanted to say something but couldn't say it. He always felt that the deaths of the white foxes were caused by him. He has always felt guilty, and he has nothing to say in the face of the sleeping white foxes at this moment. The two little foxes kept circling around the small dirt bag, Xiaobai whimpered a few times, and Xiaohua was silent.

"Let's go. ”

This land where the Gu family has lived for thousands of years finally ushered in the farewell of the last Gu family.

......

There are many people in the inn, and it is easy to be spotted with two small foxes. Dugu Zhishui didn't want to be the object of other people's attention, and he still had Gu Boqing such a drag oil bottle. Speaking of which, bringing Gu Boqing was completely out of the whim, all of this came from Dugu Zhishui's inexplicable intuition, and he felt that Gu Boqing might really be able to bring him a lot of wealth. Dugu Zhishui couldn't tell where this headless self-confidence came from, but no matter how Gu Boqing was, he was also a monk at the peak of martial arts, and he was a young talent if he was thrown on the street, and it would not be a loss to accept him as a follower.

No matter how prosperous a place is, there will be ruin, and no matter how bright a place is, there will always be shadows, which is the unchanging law of the world. Anping City is very prosperous, but there are still slums. Most of the residences of dignitaries and nobles are in the east and north of the city, and the environment there is mostly quiet; the south of the city is lined with commercial streets, which is the most noisy and prosperous; the west of the city is the shame of the whole Anping City, where the largest population of Anping City gathers, but it is basically difficult to see the decent high-rise hall, which is the residence of the ordinary people of Anping City.

Anping City is very large, and it is not difficult to find a place to live. Although Anping City has always said that every inch of land is valuable, it is not too difficult for a monk to buy a small courtyard in Xicheng, where the land price is relatively cheap. Dugu Zhishui is now also a big family with a net worth of more than 10,000 yuan, and he has no plans to leave Anping City in a short time, so he feels the need to buy a place to stay.

Most of the streets in Xicheng are relatively narrow, and the houses are very densely built, and it is not uncommon for several families to share a small courtyard. Under the leadership of a real estate agent, Dugu Zhishui came to a place where the building density was much smaller than elsewhere. This area is a special case in Xicheng, where it is mostly inhabited by middle-class merchants and officials of not very high rank. The land price in this area is definitely in the forefront of Xicheng, and Dugu Zhishui must not be willing to spend money to buy real estate here. But it just so happens that there is a yard here with the right price, and I originally wanted to buy a small yard in this place without tens of thousands of taels of silver, but now there is a yard that costs only 5,000 taels of silver, and if it is exchanged for gold, it is only 50 taels.

Dugu Zhishui naturally won't believe that there is such a pie in the sky as a good thing, there is something wrong with this house, there may have been a tragedy or something like that, and those who can afford to buy a house here are considered to have a little money, and no one can afford to buy a murderous house. However, Dugu Zhishui didn't care about feng shui and other issues, since he knew that there was such a house, he didn't hesitate to come and take a look.

The real estate agent stopped in front of a courtyard gate with Dugu Zhishui, the gate of this courtyard was not closed, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the weeds had grown madly to more than half a person's height. Look at the gate of this courtyard again, the gate of this courtyard is extremely simple, except for the two lion head knockers on the left and right, and the vermilion paint has cracked and fallen. There are no gatekeepers such as stone lions in front of the door, and there is a plaque on the door that is only half left, and it can be vaguely seen that there is a golden Korean character on it.

"Little brother, do you want to go in and have a look?" the real estate agent asked cautiously when he saw Dugu Zhishui looking at the dilapidated courtyard gate.

"Of course. Without waiting for the housing agent to lead the way, Dugu Zhishui took a step into the courtyard gate first. The courtyard is not small, at least much larger than Yuetong's courtyard. Entering the door is a small garden, rockery, ponds, small bridges, flower beds are all available, but the flowing water has long dried up, and the flowers and plants are only weeds. Dugu Zhishui walked into a house, which was a study, and there was a thick layer of dust on the ground, leaving a clear footprint on the ground with every step. The books on the shelves are still there, neatly arranged, but covered with a layer of gray dust. The room was well furnished, and if it weren't for the heavy dust, I am afraid that anyone would think that there are still people living here.

"Little brother, what do you think? This house is not bad, right?"

"It's pretty good. Dugu Zhishui nodded, "But why should such a good house be sold so cheaply? Why is no one buying it after so long?" ”

"Well, I'll tell you the truth, there are some things I haven't had time to tell you yet. The real estate agent paused and continued: "The owner of this yard has specially explained that anyone who wants to buy this yard needs to be informed of one thing before making a decision. ”

"What's the matter?"

"You see the Korean character on the gate outside. ”

"Hmm"

"Do you know whose mansion this is?"

Dugu Zhishui shook his head.
