Chapter 80: The Strange Picture
Bluestone Villa, the ancestral hall of the five surnamed Xianhou, facing the ancestors and ancestors, the two elders Liu Yeqing and Yuwu stood solemnly under the altar one after the other, holding the incense in both hands, and chanting words in their mouths. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Not far from info, Dongfang Hate Xue held the Floating Star Cold Sword in his arms and kept whispering, his face was very haggard, his clothes were disheveled, and he had long lost his former chic and spirit, only the Floating Star Cold Sword still shone with a little starlight.
Behind him, a large group of clansmen with considerable status in the village stood quietly, all of them bowing their heads slightly and listening to the eulogies of the two elders in front of them, all of them solemn. The voice of Liu Yeqing's vicissitudes of life echoed in the ancestral hall: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, fortunately with your protection, today can successfully complete the river festival ceremony of the Jinghua Festivalγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» there is a kind of tragedy in that voice."
In the eastern sky, a crescent moon bent, and a few thin clouds fluttered slightly. The sky is full of cold stars, changing mysterious colors. Under the silky clouds, in the moonlight, two strange black shadows suddenly appeared and quickly floated towards the Tiantian River, and after a while, they appeared above the riverbank, leaving two figures behind, and then re-entered the night sky.
Watching the two weird black shadows leave, Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang rubbed their sore bodies and looked at the Tianhe River blankly. The huge waves on the surface of the river rushed wildly, fiercely washing the rocks on the riverbank, stirring up layers of waves, and the waves rushed towards the face with a cool breeze. couldn't help but shiver a few times, but the two of them suddenly felt comfortable and sober. After moving for a while, the two of them didn't speak, and ran home one after the other with some depression.
Seeing Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang, Liu Hedong, Feng Yue'er, Cheng Hua and his wife rushing out of the gate in a hurry, Liu Hedong asked in a scorched voice: "Feng'er, aren't you with you!" The two glanced at the panicked eyes of several people, and immediately understood what was going on. Liu Juan said calmly: "Daddy, uncle and aunt, don't worry. I know where she is from afar. β
Feng Yue'er said angrily: "This naughty ghost, since she picked up a kitten, she often sneaks out to play by herself, me and your father, as well as your uncle and aunt Cheng, are afraid that she will γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» like those children" Liu Hedong interjected: "Don't talk about this yet, take us to find it." β
Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang looked at each other and smiled, walked in front, and the group hurriedly stepped into the darkness. As he walked, Cheng Hua couldn't help frowning, because he found that Liu Juan and his son were leading them towards the back mountain of Longyun Mountain. He was a hunter, and he knew what kind of place it was, so he couldn't help but stop his footsteps and wondered: "Juan'er, Fang'er! You're not mistaken, the wind is so small, how can you come here?" Liu Hedong and the others also stopped when they heard this, and looked at the two of them suspiciously. Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang were walking in front quickly, hoping to inform their little sister in advance in front of everyone, so as not to scare everyone. Liu Juan's eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "That's it, you wait here, I will keep it with Yuanfang for a quarter of an hour and bring it back to my sister." Cheng Hua looked at the jungle of Hesse and shook his head resolutely. Of course, Liu Hedong disagreed, Feng Yue'er looked at her younger brother and sister with tears in her eyes, and said, "Hurry up, let's go together." The group hurriedly walked towards the alpine forest in the north of the mountain, each silent, keeping their heads down and walking, only hearing rustling footsteps.
After walking for about ten minutes, I have already entered the dense forest, looking up at the towering trees, and occasionally shooting a few starlight between the secret leaves, the dappled light falls on everyone's face, the face is pale, and the eyes are flashing with anxiety. The people in the back saw the relaxed appearance of the two children in front of them, and the doubts in their hearts were alleviated a lot, but they still had a heart hanging high. After drilling hard in the forest for a while, Feng Yue'er and Shifeng's mother couldn't stand it, and their pace was a little unable to keep up, their faces were covered with sweat, and they kept panting, but they couldn't care about this, and they still moved hard. Finally heard, Liu Juan shouted in front: "Feng'er, Feng'er, we are coming for you! Hurry up, big daddy, big mother, father, mother is here." β
Liu Hedong wondered, why was Juan'er's shouting so obedient, as if reminding Feng'er of something, he couldn't help but speed up his feet, jumped behind Liu Juan in a few steps, and then Cheng Hua also jumped up. After walking more than a dozen steps, the scene in front of them made Liu Hedong and Cheng Hua cry and laugh. I saw that in the dense forest, a vacant land with a radius of dozens of zhang was flat and clean, without even a trace of grass, revealing the unique color of the building stone of the bluestone villa, and the blue ground was glowing with a faint halo under the moonlight, and there seemed to be a faint cloud of smoke rising. Cheng Hua quickly searched for his memory, he was always hunting, I don't know how many times he had been to this forest, why had he never found such a clearing before, and his mind was blank. Cheng Shifeng lay on the ground in the clearing, teasing the tiger-striped cat in front of him who was also lying on the ground with both hands, and one person and one cat were frolicking in the clearing. Cheng Shifeng grinned: "Hehe, come here, catch me, hehe." Muttering in his mouth, his body also learned the movements of the tiger striped cat, sometimes leaning forward, sometimes arching back. Feng Yue'er and Shifeng's mother also arrived one after another, and when they saw the appearance of the naughty ghost, they were also angry and funny.
And Cheng Shifeng didn't seem to care about their arrival, turned around and made a grimace at everyone, flashing his big eyes and said, "Come and play together, it's interesting." When everyone saw that she was safe and sound, they were immediately relieved, and a smile suddenly appeared on their faces. Liu Hedong said with a smile: "This kid, why is he so bold, he ran here in the dark." Hehe, second brother, like you, she must be a heroic huntress when she grows up. Cheng Hua also smiled: "This naughty ghost, there is really nothing to do with him." When the river festival hall, he said that he was looking for Juan'er and Fang'er, but he disappeared and came here. After speaking, he looked at his daughter, who was still naughty, and looked helpless.
Without waiting for everyone to step forward, Liu Juan had already floated forward and picked up Cheng Shifeng, and then handed it to Shifeng Niang, who came forward. Shifeng Niang said angrily: "Why are you so unbehaved, don't go home so late, scare your mother to death!" said and pretended to be angry and slapped Cheng Shifeng a few times.
"Mother, I'm very well-behaved, I told my brother and Sister Juan, I'm here to wait for them to come to me after watching the river festival, but they are late. After speaking, he looked at Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang and said, "Right?" The two of them smiled bitterly in their hearts, and they both said that children are unscrupulous, and children don't lie, but every time this naughty ghost makes a mistake, he puts the black pot on others, which is really depressing, but he still nodded dumbly. Seeing the two nodding, Cheng Shifeng lowered his head again and teased the tiger striped cat in his arms, his eyes flashing with cunning.
Hearing her say this, Liu Hedong couldn't help but blame Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang and said, "Hehe, it's getting late, let's go back quickly." Juan'er, Fang'er, don't be too playful in the future, go home early in the evening, and take care of your sister. Liu Juan and Cheng Yuanfang glanced at the little guy when they heard it, and quickly nodded and said yes repeatedly. Then the group hurried home. On the way, Liu Juan took the opportunity to nod strangely to Cheng Yuanfang, and Cheng Yuanfang understood and nodded as well.
At midnight, in the ancestral hall of the five surnamed Xianhou, Liu Juan and Cheng Yuan's Yuan Shen floated in the air for a while, and then fell in front of the altar like a ghost. Liu Juan quietly stared at the four paintings above the altar of the ancestral hall, motionless. Cheng Yuanfang wondered why he was so interested in those paintings. Looking at the old paper and the rusty picture, Cheng Yuanfang never saw anything. couldn't help but ask, "Sister Juan, won't you just show me this tonight?"
"Yes and no. Liu Juan said lightly, her eyes still did not leave the paintings.
Cheng Yuanfang was a little confused, and said with a smile: "What is yes and no, yes is yes, no is not γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Hehe, okay, don't go around. You look closely. Liu Juan smiled as she pointed to the second of the four paintings from left to right.
Cheng Yuanfang looked at it again, stared for a while, and faintly felt that there was a faint layer of mist flowing on the painting, hazy, and after staring for a while, the color of the painting suddenly became much clearer, as if he had pulled his eyes to the front of the painting, and there was a dazzling feeling. On the screen, a young man dressed in black stands under an ancient tree, staring ahead with blazing eyes, standing proudly, waving his sleeves in the wind, looking full of ambition, but with another red eye on his forehead, which looks a little terrifying. Two hands on the left and right, one carrying an emerald fang. On the left side of the picture, the line of words is inscribed from top to bottom: Three-eyed Xuangui with teeth, and the payment is a seal carving, I don't know. Looking at it, the picture is getting clearer and clearer, the tone is getting thicker and thicker, and the people on the picture seem to move. Cheng Yuanfang was startled, suddenly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes a few times, couldn't help but squint his eyes and looked at it again, wondering in his heart, how could the plot on this painting be so familiar, could it be that γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Cheng Yuanfang shook his head resolutely, and his heart was impossible.
Liu Juan looked at the stupid Cheng Yuanfang and smiled: "What? Do you feel something?" β
Cheng Yuanfang turned his head and looked at Liu Juan in surprise and said, "This painting is a bit evil, let's go." β
Liu Juan rarely laughed and said: "That young man in black really looks like you, but it's a pity that people have three eyes on their heads, but you are a red mole." Hehe, hehe. β
Cheng Yuanfang listened to Liu Juan's somewhat teasing tone, subconsciously touched his forehead, and felt the mole that Liu Juan said, and for some reason listened to Liu Juan's laughter, and broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, secretly saying that it was okay, thanks to a mole. If it were like the eyes on the painting, wouldn't it be a monster? When I touched it like this, my heart suddenly became much more enlightened, and I thought that it was just a painting! Cheng Yuanfang looked at those paintings again, and his expression was more focused than before. The four paintings are all about four feet in size and about a foot wide, and the scrolls are pitch-black wood with a shiny oil. In the first painting, a young man in white has a delicate face and a slender body, and a black jade skeleton is drunk on his chest. In the third painting, on the lofty mountains, a white tiger raises its head and hooves, stepping on the clouds and running in the vast sea of clouds, holding a six or seven-year-old little girl in a blue skirt in the tiger's mouth, the little girl is terrified, and her hands and feet are desperately struggling. On the gloomy night in the fourth painting, under the crescent moon, several willows swayed like smoke, and behind the trees there was a touch of emerald smoke, and in the smoke a girl in emerald clothes and green eyes fluttered, her eyes were cold, and her face was pale.
