Chapter 117: The Man in the Painting
At this moment, a sharp whistle sounded, and it was heard far away in the dark night sky.
The old man's expression changed when he heard this, and he pulled his legs and ran forward. After running a few steps, I found that something was wrong, and when I turned around, I saw Tang Zixi still standing in place and stunned at the statue.
He stomped his foot, ran back and grabbed her by the hand, pulling her behind the idol, and he himself hid with him.
As soon as he hid it, he heard the sound of breaking the sky, and it seemed that something had stopped at the door.
Tang Zixi didn't know what was going on, he turned his head to look at the old man a little blankly, and before he could open his mouth, the other party's warning came to his ear: "If you don't want to die, you'd better shut up." She immediately shut her mouth obediently.
Not long after, there was another sound of breaking through the air, mixed with the call of a vulture. A man's voice said coldly, "Still haven't you found it?"
"No, but the third child saw him coming towards this area with his own eyes, and it should be nearby. ”
A man's voice rang out almost right in front of them.
Tang Zixi was startled by the sound close at hand, and almost screamed, but the old man quickly covered her mouth and glared at her fiercely.
"Hmph, that kid was poisoned, forgive him how far he ran. Search separately!" The last few words have been added with internal force, and the voice is sent far away.
"Yes!"
Soon, there were responses from several directions, and it sounded like there were quite a few people.
As if he knew the question in Tang Zixi's heart, the old man took her hand and gently scratched it in her palm: "Soul Refining Gate!"
Tang Zixi obviously hadn't heard of this sect, and he was still confused, but fortunately, the old man was extremely understanding, and then rowed: "Not a good person!"
She understood this, but she didn't need him to remind her, just listening to the voices of these people made her feel extremely uncomfortable. And since these people came, she always felt cold behind her.
She thought for a moment, grabbed the old man's hand and said, "What should I do?"
The old man shook his head, and suddenly thought that she couldn't see, so he had to grab her hand again and said, "Wait!"
"They don't leave. ”
"Don't be impatient!"
The two of you come and go, and you are very happy.
The man standing at the door seemed to notice the movement here, and his eyes swept over like lightning, and an invisible murderous aura suddenly covered the two.
The old man's heart was shocked, and he secretly screamed bad in his heart, and hurriedly pressed Tang Zixi's hand that was still about to write, because he was too nervous, his hands were a little trembling.
Tang Zixi was stunned by him, and suddenly stopped moving.
"Second, what's wrong?"
A dry voice came from not far away.
The man at the door replied, "It's nothing, he's not here, let's look elsewhere!" After speaking, he picked up an object on the ground and quietly put it in his arms while people were not paying attention.
At that moment, a shout came from the left, followed by a sharp whistle. Suddenly, people rushed over from all directions, hurrying in the direction from which the sound came.
Seeing that everyone was attracted to the past, the old man said in a low voice, "Hurry up!" After speaking, he took Tang Zixi's hand and hurriedly ran towards the inner hall, and soon disappeared into the main hall.
Not long after they left, a dark figure crept in through the side door, and there was no doubt that it was the man from before. He had a clear goal and went straight behind the idol, but he didn't know that he pounced.
He looked around suspiciously, doubting his own judgment.
The two who had already run out of the main hall naturally didn't know this scene. At this moment, the old man was taking Miss Tang to drill the tunnel, and while he walked forward cautiously, he kept admonishing: "Remember not to touch anything on the wall. ”
Tang Zixi sighed in his mouth, he hadn't paid attention to it before, but when he said this, he looked at the cave walls on both sides curiously.
At this glance, I couldn't take my eyes off it. Because although the tunnel is extremely narrow, it is very delicate.
Why do you say exquisite, because the cave walls are full of paintings. Although it is only a simple line, the characters in the painting are vividly drawn, which shows the superb drawing skills of the painter.
What interested her the most was that all the paintings she saw along the way depicted the same woman. Although she was dressed in different clothes and of different ages, she was definitely the same person. Because around her neck, there is always a pendant in the shape of a water droplet.
Tang Zixi was amazed, and couldn't help but praise: "The person who painted these paintings must love this woman very much, otherwise he wouldn't have painted her so vividly." ”
The old man sneered disdainfully: "Love, not necessarily, I think it's guilt." ”
"Guilty?" It seems that this old man knows something, Tang Zixi suddenly became interested, "How do you know that the person who painted is guilty?"
The old man has been back and forth to this tunnel many times, and he has long been familiar with the paintings here, and now pointed to a painting next to him and introduced: "You are looking at the painting on the right now, and you will naturally think that this woman is very beautiful, and you can also see that the person who painted the painting has a deep affection for her." Why don't you look at the one on the left?"
"Left?" He didn't say that Tang Zixi really didn't pay attention, and turned his gaze to the left at the moment.
It was a very different look. In the painting, the woman is no longer alone, there are more different people around her, there are men and women, old and young. Gradually, her range of activities was no longer limited to the big mansion, but appeared in different places, with streets, temples, palaces, valleys, and so on.
Looking at it, Tang Zixi's doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a painting appeared in her sight, and almost the moment she saw it, she was stunned.
The place in the painting is a vast grassland, and there are two men and one woman in the painting. In the painting, a young man is handing an object in his hand to the girl in front of him, and the girl seems to be a little shy, hanging her head slightly, but the smile on the corner of her mouth reveals the infinite joy in her heart. There is also a teenager on the ground laughing.
"Brother Ling!"
Looking at the radiant young man in the painting, Tang Zixi couldn't help but mutter. She is too familiar with this scene, it is the scene when Li Ling gave her a begonia that day, and the young man lying on the ground laughing is Ni Pengfei, the second eldest child of the Ni family. If it weren't for the lack of the little red horse, she would really think that the person in this painting was herself.
The old man didn't notice anything unusual about her, and pointed to a painting and said, "Look here, it's obvious that the man is not marrying the woman before. ”
Tang Zixi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly trotted a few steps, walked to the old man's side, and looked at the painting he was pointing to. Seeing this, her heart suddenly twisted like a knife.
Although there are many figures in the painting, the most striking one is a pair of men and women in wedding clothes standing on a high platform. The bridegroom's eyebrows were vaguely the appearance of the young man. And standing side by side with him is a tall woman, although she is also extremely beautiful, but she doesn't look like the girl before. In the painting, she is raising her hands slightly, as if to signal the person below to flatten up.
"I think this is a female emperor, and eighty percent of this man is interested in other people's power. Abandoned that childhood sweetheart woman, tsk!"
The old man shook his head as he spoke, as if he also felt worthless for the girl.
Tang Zixi didn't listen to what he said at all, but snatched the fire fold in the other party's hand, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, and then trembled his hands to look at the nearby paintings.
This look really shows that it is tired.
