Chapter 63: Drawing
When the gods and ghosts fused, Fan Wu fell into a mysterious feeling, the dream and reality overlapped, and the black-robed ghost in the dream and Fan Wu in reality appeared at the same time.
It's like two different movies edited together, and it's also a costume drama and a modern drama, the picture is quite conflicting, but it feels harmonious, as if it should be.
At one time, Fan Wu, who was dressed in modern clothes, took the lead in standing in front of the battlefield, fighting foreign monsters with his bare hands, and at one time, the black-robed ghost would land on a strange alien planet, holding a fire spear to fight a group of foreigners in robes.
The strangest picture is that Fan Wu and the black-robed ghost general appear in a smoke-filled place at the same time, joining forces to fight the legendary heavenly soldiers and ancient immortals.
All kinds of pictures kept flashing in his mind one after another, and the most displayed in the process of the fusion of the two souls was the picture of Fan Wu's life, from his birth to the death of his parents, to school, to adulthood and work, all of which were meticulously reproduced.
The protagonist is Fan Wu, but most of the life in Fan Wu's memory is different, in his memory, he has lived in an orphanage since he was sensible, and his uncle and aunt in the orphanage told him that his parents died in a traffic accident.
And those uncles and aunts were very good to him, although he was an orphan since he was a child, but the living environment was full of love, and later he studied and went on to higher education with the support of kind-hearted people, until he graduated from college and joined the work, everything was logical, without a trace of waves.
However, in the picture seen during the fusion of the two souls, it is a completely different childhood, Fan Wu in the picture is also an orphan, but he was adopted by a middle-aged couple who could not have children since he was a child.
Both husband and wife are university teachers, the family economy is very good, and they are also very good to Fan Wu, treating them as their own, and because they are both teachers, they pay great attention to his education and training, and this little Fan Wu showed a strong interest in art very early on, and loved painting since he was a child.
So his adoptive parents hired a professional art teacher to guide him, and Fan Wu soon showed his talent in this area, and he was able to draw well in a few years, especially like to draw people.
And the characters he paints are not only limited to human beings, he prefers to paint portraits of gods, ghosts and the like, and the paintings are extremely expressive, in addition to the legendary immortals, there are many creatures that have not been seen, and those who don't know think he has seen these things with his own eyes.
Although the content of his paintings is relatively unusual and rare, his painting and composition have been praised by art teachers, so his adoptive parents have allowed him to continue to develop in this area.
Xiao Fan Wu began to draw characters and slowly developed to add backgrounds around the painted characters, from daily life, to work, to temples, to war scenes, the background he painted became more and more grandiose, and finally he even began to outline the universe of heaven and earth.
But that was the end of it, as Fan Wu, who was already eighteen years old in the picture, began to suffer great changes after painting the first painting in his life with heaven and earth as the background.
On his birthday, a fairy, a person and a ghost broke into the house, killed his adoptive parents on the spot, detained his soul, sealed Fan Wu's memory, injected another memory, and then took him to Duancheng and threw him into the current Fan Wu's house.
People kill people, ghosts detain souls, immortals brainwash, the division of labor is clear, and the cooperation is seamless.
Fan Wu, who woke up in that room, had forgotten that he was the genius who painted, and the picture coincided with the real memory, only remembering that he was an ordinary and lucky orphan, and then he grew into the current Fan Wu step by step.
These pictures that appeared in the process of fusion made Fan Wu's mind confused, true and false dreams and reality alternated, and he believed a little in his heart, but he was not very willing to accept it intellectually, if he accepted it, it would be equivalent to overturning his life, and if it was serious, he might even have to overturn his faith.
But the realism of the picture is not enough Fan Wu didn't believe it, remembering that after the serious illness at the age of eighteen, he couldn't remember many details of his life when he was a child, and the uncles and aunts who had a good impression of the orphanage also said that they couldn't recognize them after the illness changed a lot, as if they were a different person.
It's just that why did those three people and ghosts do this, if there is a problem with their identity, then they can deal with it earlier, why wait until they are eighteen years old? Or is it not the relationship of age, the reason is the painting?
I didn't have time to think about it, the two souls that were still fusing brought Fan Wu to other pictures, this time in a primitive world, a vast and boundless barren realm, when a huge sun shone directly on the earth, the scorching temperature caused the ground to crack into ravines, and the vertical and horizontal ravines were like the dry and cracked folds of the earth's skin, and inside was dark red magma.
A man with only a piece of animal skin around his bare body to block the important parts of his upper body, standing on a boulder and shooting arrows at the sun, the surface of the muscles that exploded all over his body had cracked a bloody wound, but he still kept firing arrows.
There is a large bundle of arrows at his feet, two-thirds of which have been used, and the arrows made of unknown materials can actually shoot directly into the sun under the launch of the man's strong bow, although Fan Wu can't see how effective it is, but this picture is extremely shocking, and he can't help but think of Hou Yi in myths and legends.
The picture is frozen when the man shoots the last arrow, the process is not clear, but I see that the huge sun is shot by the last arrow burst out of dazzling light, the light is too dazzling, only vaguely see that the sun seems to disintegrate and divide into several pieces, and the man was melted by the high temperature, and fell on the boulder without suspense.
Fan Wu was taken into all kinds of pictures, through all kinds of stories, including the past, the present, and the future, as if it had been centuries before he finally woke up.
When I woke up, I found that I was still at the bottom of Longtan, and the yellow spring water had just soaked above my head, as if all the dreams I had just experienced were just a moment, the fusion had ended, and the two souls had completely turned into one soul, or had become a ghost.
Fan Wu no longer had the heart to continue to be curious, and put the lid back back steadily, after covering it back, the yellow mud wall slowly softened and turned into water again, Longtan resumed normal operation, and the yellow spring water outside the spring range gradually diluted into black pool water, and the water level gradually rose.
Fan Wu returned to the range of the spring and sat cross-legged, pulled out the token and held it in his hand, glanced at the bright red words 'catch you' and the vague third word on it, felt the abundant soul power reserves inside, and smiled happily.
After a smile, he quickly put away his smile, changed the token in his hand into a paintbrush, and carefully painted in the water in front of him, with a total of four strokes in two vertical and two horizontal, and the soul power revealed from the tip of the pen magically drew the outline of a piece of drawing paper in the water.
The water inside and outside the paper is clearly distinguished, and the yellow spring water on the outside still flows normally, while the water inside is still, as if the inside of the paper has become an independent space, which is very magical.
But after drawing the outline of this paper, Fan Wu felt a sense of weakness, as if a human being had been hungry for a long time or had finished exercising vigorously, and after checking himself, he found that it was just because of excessive mental loss, and his soul power was not less.
Because after the fusion of the two souls, there was no soul power in his body, and instead there was an inexplicable black energy that penetrated his whole body, a bit similar to the black mist inside the token, Fan Wu didn't know what it was.
The body was not depleted, but the soul power of the token reserve was consumed by one-tenth, and drawing a frame consumed so much soul power that Fan Wu's heart ached.
"Damn, it's bigger than the cost of the Vulcan Gun, what kind of skill is this, what's the use?"
After waking up, Fan Wu knew that he was no longer the same, his body was different, the nature of his energy was different, his perception of the outside world was different, and he had the ability to draw.
He is no longer a pure soul body, nor a physical body, flesh and blood, but at the same time he is an energy body, which can be decomposed and reorganized at any time, this feeling reminds Fan Wu that it is very similar to the physical state that Night Star showed after becoming a ghost, but he is not sure if this is the form of a dragon, because he did not commit suicide.
In addition to the physical form, the nature of the internal energy has also changed, the previous soul power was the state of water flow, and now it is the state of fog, the black fog, it has become lighter, but it has become thicker, it feels stronger than before, the plasticity and variability are greater, and when it is released, it should be able to be shaped into something more complex, and the power is definitely stronger, such as the soul bullet.
The biggest change in the body is that it is easier to communicate with the outside world, which is manifested in the fact that various senses have become keen, and now Fan Wu can see farther, hear more clearly, absorb energy faster, and simply put, the power of receiving external information has been amplified several times.
No wonder Night Star said that Wei is an existence between humans and ghosts and immortals, which is simply an all-round crushing for humans and ghosts.
The last change is to obtain the ability to draw, now I only know that it is a very mental and soul power skill, but the specific power will not be known until the actual combat outside, but the drawing paper just now reminded Fan Wu of the legend of the void hanging painting that the village woman and ghost at the foot of Mount Tai said last time, if it is really that skill, it is too good.
I just don't know how to apply it to actual combat, and this loss is so big, even if it can be used in actual combat, it can only be used as a killer feature, thinking of hanging paintings, Fan Wu looked at the drawing paper he drew again, in the washing of the water, the border of the drawing paper has been a little blurred, it seems that it will not last long and will be dispersed, and the calculation time is about ten minutes before and after.
Fan Wu now can't figure out whether it is because he is the Fan Wu who can draw in the first place, so the Wei skill is painting, or because the Wei skill is painting, he has created a memory of learning to paint, so that he can master this skill?
In any case, all kinds of cognitions and memories that are difficult to distinguish between true and false during this period are all pressed on the bottom of Fan Wu's heart, since the strength has been raised to a new level, it is time to find those 'friends' to catch up with the old, and the exchange of courtesies is the traditional beauty of the Chinese, and it cannot be lost.
Stayed at the bottom of the pond for another three days, practicing the newly acquired ability every day, anyway, there was yellow spring water to replenish the soul power, Fan Wu was not heartbroken, he drew when his spirit was rested, and he inhaled dead qi to replenish when he was tired.
Three days later, he suddenly changed his mind, and instead of going to the ground through Longtan, he changed his body form and entered the Yellow Spring Eye to go to the underworld against the current.
Half a day after Fan Wu left the bottom of the pool, a person and a ghost came to the bottom of the pool, the person who came was a young Taoist priest, wearing a Taoist robe but not wearing a Taoist crown, wearing a long hair, a little nondescript, and the ghost who came down with him was an old ghost in Tang costume in his fifties and sixties.
After the blind man went down to the bottom of the pond, he went straight to the range of the spring, and after coming in, he carefully observed the surrounding environment, trying to find some clues, the young Taoist priest did not dare to approach the yellow spring water, so he had to go to the outlet to check whether it was abnormal.
Although both of them were carefully examined, after half a day of water washing, the traces left by Fan Wu had already been washed away, and there was no abnormality at all.
After looking for it, one person and one ghost exchanged a few words and returned to the ground the same way, and then parted ways, probably going back to report.
