Chapter 32: The Beginning of Change
With the changes in the world, the rivers and lakes have become more and more turbulent, and many of the people who have practiced internal strength have changed, but because of time, these changes have not yet broken out.
Zuo Meng closed the shop, and he was not ready to open the door during this time.
The great change in the world is the point he has been waiting for for many years, and he is ready to go to the most conspicuous places of change to see if he can break the shackles of two hundred years of internal force and provide experience to the real world without using the ability of the creator, and then collect some things at the beginning of the great change in the world and the breakthrough experience of other masters of the rivers and lakes, so as to lay the foundation for changing the world in the real world in the future.
"It's closed again!!"
As soon as he closed the door, the voice of the girl Zhihua sounded behind her, and her voice was full of shock.
He knew that this salted fish uncle was very lazy, but he didn't expect to be lazy to this extent, looking up at the sky, it was clearly still morning!
"I know how to paint. β
Zuo Meng turned his head and showed a hint of a smile. After so many years, the little girl has also grown up, not only getting acquainted, but also often coming to the store to help, which can be regarded as saving Zuo Meng a lot of effort, if you don't quarrel to find him to find a 'master', it would be better.
"I have been studying hard for many years, and I am ready to go to Beijing again to fight again, and when I am named on the gold list, I will definitely make a wish to the emperor and let him give you a golden beetle son-in-law. β
Reading hard in the cold window?
Zhihua's little head is full of question marks. In the past seven years, no one is more familiar with Zuo Meng than her, and in seven years, I haven't seen him take a book, and whenever he goes, he is slumped on a reclining chair, looking like a salted fish, and he still goes to Beijing to take the exam!
"It's past the autumn time now, which exam are you rushing for!"
"Let's go, goodbye!"
Zuo Meng waved his hand, said goodbye to the little girl simply, put his bags on his back in a dashing manner, and prepared to leave.
"Mr. Xue is going to participate in the imperial examination?"
A woman in a long black dress walked over from a distance, saw Zuo Meng carrying a bag, and couldn't help asking. Seven years is enough to know many people, and this beautiful woman is one of them. The beautiful woman's name is Yu Linglong, she is a widow, I heard that on the night before her wedding, her fiancΓ© fell into the river drunk and drowned, and then the family told her about the two families, but they all died before they passed the doorman's house, so that no one dared to say kiss to her later, and Kefu's reputation gradually spread out. After a long time, Sister-in-law Yu is used to a pass, she has a strong temperament, she runs a gambling house in Suzhou Mansion alone, and I don't know how many difficulties and twists and turns she has gone through during the period, anyway, her gambling house has opened, and the troublemakers have disappeared.
The former pretty widow has become the jade sister that everyone is afraid of in Suzhou Mansion, and Zuo Meng knows because of a painting, three years ago on a rainy day, Yu Linglong accidentally passed by the store, saw the painting hanging on the wall, and bought it after being happy, and later found that there are often famous paintings born in this inconspicuous shop, so she became a frequent visitor to the shop, and she knew each other when she came and went.
"It turned out to be the Jade Girl. Zuo Meng smiled and responded.
"With the talent of Mr., he will be able to top the list, and I wish Mr. the title of the gold list, and the text will be spread all over the world. β
I didn't have a famous painting to buy, and Yu Linglong didn't go to the store anymore.
"Borrow the girl's auspicious words, cherish. β
Zuo Meng no longer stayed, carrying his bags and going all the way out of the city.
Leaving Anleju is to go further.
The great changes in the world have only just begun.
Hanshan Temple.
This place chosen by Zuo Meng for the diffusion of internal strength inevitably decayed after the last sect split. The monk of the precept name snatched the internal strength of the 'source stone' obtained from Zuo Meng, and set up another portal outside, with the miraculous achievement of the precept name, the former Hanshan Temple inevitably became synonymous with the loser, for this reason the monk also went down the mountain to ask for that Xue Xiucai, but unfortunately that Xue Xiucai seems to be just an ordinary person who will point internal strength, and has not understood the secret of the 'source stone' at all, after perceiving this, the precept returned disappointed.
Night.
Jienian sat alone in the meditation hall.
As a warrior monk, Jienian rarely comes to this place, he feels that this place is a place for those mediocre people, but after the name of the precept rebelled, the character of the precept has changed a lot, he likes to come to the meditation hall more and more, and he says less and less, slowly, there is a trace of the artistic conception of the monk, here the precept to understand the great wisdom hidden in the Buddhist scriptures, and have some understanding of the name of the precept of betraying the mountain gate.
"Amitabha. β
Jienian put down the gavel in his hand and walked out of the meditation hall, looked back at the Buddha statue in the temple, and whispered a Buddha name.
"Senior brother, an underground palace has been found in the Black Wood Forest!"
A young little monk ran in from outside, this little monk's name is Jieqi, and he is a new disciple who entered Hanshan Temple after the name of the precept.
"The black wood forest outside Suzhou. β
Monk Jienian recalled that night, when he left the small shop in Suzhou, the Boss Xue gave him a word.
"If you are really interested in the source, you can go to the black wood forest outside Suzhou Mansion to look for it, where I found this source stone in the first place. β
It is precisely because of this sentence that the monk Jienian has been sending people to search in the Black Wood Forest for the past few years, and he really discovered a secret without thinking about it.
Almost at the same time.
In Suzhou Mansion, in a gloomy underground gambling house, Yu Linglong, dressed in a black dress, was lying behind the red gauze bed, with a pair of beautiful legs exposed, and her subordinates were reporting something to her.
"In other words, in the forest outside the city, someone really found the underground palace?"
"It's indeed an underground palace, my subordinates have personally checked it, and the news is true!"
The black-clothed man kneeling below didn't dare to raise his head, he knew better than anyone that the horror of this femme fatale, all the people who peeped at her beauty, did not end well, and several of them were handled by him.
"Then let Luo San go over and take a look. β
"Yes. β
The man in black answered, and disappeared into the darkness.
"It's getting more and more interesting, is this a god coming into the world?"
Yu Linglong got out of bed, came to the wall and looked at the row of paintings hanging there, these scrolls were all purchased by her from Zuo Meng's shop, at first she just felt that the artistic conception was very mysterious, but in recent days, these paintings have obviously changed, the landscape in the painting, as if it has come to life, every time she gets closer, she can hear the sound of flowing water in the painting, but when she listens carefully, there is nothing.
"Mr. Xue doesn't seem to be an ordinary person, what secrets are hidden in him?"
It's not just jade.
Zhihua, who buys the most 'bought' picture scrolls, also senses that something is wrong.
Unlike Yu Linglong, Zhihua really entered the painting, and this wonderful experience almost scared the little girl silly.
In the pitch-black space, the ink mountain and the black ink river are really flowing in front of you.
Bamboo leaves swaying in the wind.
"What is this place?"
Zhihua was about to cry, she remembered that she was painting in the room, how did she get here in a blink of an eye.
"Did you meet a youkai?"
Since I was a child, I have heard the story of monsters eating people told by Mr. Storyteller, and now when I encounter this unexplainable thing, the little girl naturally thinks of monsters.
