Chapter 31: The Picture Scroll
"Don't you think there's a problem here?"
Ying Yuan's words focused the attention of the two of them on this.
"Look. Ying Yuan pointed around, "The room here belongs to the entrance hall, and the two sides of the hall are separated from the bedroom and the study by curtains, this is just a large single room, not very big, but in this place, hang three picture scrolls, three unrelated picture scrolls, and even one is blank, nothing." Don't you think it's strange about this layout?"
"I think it's a little strange for you to say that. And the three picture scrolls are too far apart, and they are about to go to the curtain, and these picture scrolls are not very big. It's not too wide, so why do you want to open it up like that?"
Zhang Hairong also began to think.
"Aren't you going to be a little sensitive? Qin Yuqiong looked at the two people who were meditating hard and spread her hands, "Could it be someone else's special hobby?"
"Do you think there is any information hidden in the three scrolls?"
Ying Yuan thought of it, he did it, he walked forward, came to the carp out of the water in the middle, and pondered it carefully for a while. He found that the paper of this scroll was a little new, without a trace of old feeling, and it should not be long before he bought this scroll and put it away.
"Pavilion Lord Qin, how long has Elder Feng An and Elder Li Yu been supervising the confinement area?"
"It's been many years, it's always been the two of them, and they're usually kind, and everyone respects the two elders very much. ”
"I see. ”
A smile appeared on the corner of Ying Yuan's mouth, he looked at Qin Yuqiong, and then at the picture scroll, a strange thought suddenly appeared in his heart, but he was quickly suppressed by him. It's a scary thought, so don't think too much about it just yet.
After comparing the three scrolls, Ying Yuan found that the blank scroll had been hanging for longer than the other two scrolls, because the blank scrolls had been slightly yellowed in some places.
It's really strange, it's the same picture scroll, why is there a difference in the hanging time between the three picture scrolls?
Ying Yuan didn't understand, he stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the three scrolls to see what was strange, just when his hand was about to touch the blank scroll, suddenly a white hand grabbed his wrist.
"What are you doing?"
It was Qin Yuqiong who grabbed Ying Yuan's wrist.
"What do you want to do?"
"Touch it. ”
"You don't even know if there's something weird here, how dare you do it?" Qin Yuqiong said helplessly.
"Didn't you just say that we were both sensitive?"
"Have you forgotten how my disciples of the Bamboo Pavilion disappeared? they just entered this confinement area and disappeared inexplicably, and they couldn't find it no matter how they looked for it. ”
Qin Yuqiong let go of Ying Yuan's hand with a serious expression:
"Without confirming what is going on, I advise all of us not to mess around so as not to hurt ourselves. ”
"Is that so?"
Zhang Hairong, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head and glanced at Qin Yuqiong deeply, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.
"Of course, we're going to take it one step at a time. And for some reason, ever since I came into this room, I always felt like a pair of eyes were watching us. Our every move is under the watchful eye of these eyes. ”
"We all have that feeling. But now it's an impasse, and since you said that you only felt this way after you came into this room, it means that this room has something that the person who is watching us behind our backs is interested in, and if we find this thing, then we will most likely know what is going on here. ”
Ying Yuan looked at Qin Yuqiong and said lightly. Qin Yuqiong bit her lip, and finally sighed and replied:
"That's fine, try not to move, after all, now we are in the light, and the enemy is in the dark. ”
"Okay. ”
With that, Ying Yuan's attention was no longer on the three scrolls, and he turned around and went to the study on the right-hand side. There are some books in the study, and there are some calligraphy, and the words written on the calligraphy are quite free and easy, and they have a charm. The study wasn't really much to look at, but there was one place that caught his attention.
It is the inkstone on the desk and the pen hanging of the brush. Through the neat placement on the tabletop, it can be known that the person who lives here should be a person who pays attention to neatness and placement, but there are still dry ink stains on this inkstone, and the pen is hanging, and there are two brushes missing.
Judging from the calligraphy on the desktop, the person who writes can write the words with charm, and it must be a common person (not all of us. In that case, there shouldn't be fewer brushes here. But how could there be two missing for no reason? And the two that are the main writers.
Could it be ......
Ying Yuan seemed to think of something, he immediately crouched down, blue light flashed between his fingers, he wanted to look under those tables and cabinets.
Sure enough, under a cabinet near the wall, there was a box hidden underneath. But at this moment, Ying Yuan didn't intend to take him out, a faint light flashed between his fingers extremely hiddenly, and then the box disappeared in front of Ying Yuan's eyes. This is a trick that Dongfang Xueqing taught Ying Yuan, although it is a small technique, but it is very practical. Then he quietly looked elsewhere.
"What are you looking for?"
When Ying Yuan turned to the other side to look, Qin Yuqiong saw him squatting on the ground looking at those corners, so he asked.
"It's nothing, I'm just learning from Brother Hairong to see if there are any clues, but unfortunately no. ”
Ying Yuan sighed and stood up. And Zhang Hairong on the other side of the bedroom also walked out from behind the curtain, and he didn't find anything useful.
"Now, it seems that there are no clues. It's not too early, so we'll go back and take it first. I'll take a look at the rest of the confinement area tomorrow. ”
"Yes. ”
Ying Yuan and Zhang Hairong reached a consensus and left the room. Qin Yuqiong looked at the backs of the two of them, and then looked at the place where Ying Yuan had just squatted, and then she also followed their backs and left the room together.
After going out, Ying Yuan said goodbye to Qin Yuqiong, and then he and Zhang Hairong got up with their swords and flew back to the supervision hall. The task is not completed in a day, and now Ying Yuan has some ideas in his heart, but it is not convenient to implement it immediately, so he will go back first, and then talk about it, not in a hurry.
.....
"Report to your lord, the people of the Overseer Hall have left. ”
In a hidden room, black smoke suddenly blew behind a masked man, and then a man appeared behind him and said respectfully.
"I know. After all, there wasn't much to find in that place. But speaking ......," the masked man's voice suddenly became a little colder, "this time they did not do well, and they made such a big battle that they almost let the plan be discovered." So you know how to do it?"
"The subordinates understand. ”
"Good. The masked man nodded.
"One more thing. ”
Say. ”
"It's about the Fa Holy Church, the people we sent to monitor the Fa Holy Church have all been eradicated without exception, and there is not a single one left. ”
"Isn't there a single one left?" the masked man stood with his hands in his hands, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the back of his hand, "worthy of being a Dharma Saint, his vigilance is high enough." From now on, don't go to the Templar Church and the Fa Saint Church, focus on the plan here. After all this time of planning, I don't want anything to go wrong. ”
"Yes!"
Another puff of black smoke passed, and then the half-kneeling man vanished.
"Heh, Sanqingmen, soon you will be history. ”
