Chapter 200: The Man Who Painted
(Time flies so fast, it's two hundred chapters in the blink of an eye, haha... It's really not easy, to see my face so diligently, please subscribe)
At night, the town of Qiushui is bustling even in the early hours of the morning. It's as if people here don't sleep at night, or they don't sleep at all.
Maybe it has something to do with the monks here, or maybe it has something to do with the hidden murderous motives.
They are afraid that if they fall asleep, they will not have a chance to wake up the next day.
Therefore, this autumn water town is full of dangers, even if it looks no different from ordinary towns.
The pedestrians on the street did not come and go, they walked on the road very leisurely, their eyes swept in all directions, as if looking for their prey.
The town of Autumn Water may be small, but it is no different. Naturally, there will be all kinds of people.
In addition to the restaurant inn, at a glance in this Qiushui Town, it seems that you can only see shops with open doors. There was a sound of drunkenness in the restaurant, of course, not every restaurant was drunk, and in some of the restaurants that looked more luxurious in this town, there were also some sounds of poetry on the second floor.
The people here are crazy, and the people here are helpless. Bai Shi and Long Yinyue are the kind of people who are helpless, even if this Qiushui Town is constantly disturbed at the moment, but when they pass by a green building, they still hear the gasps and moans of the crazy man.
With a wry smile, Long Yinyue and Bai Shi did not stay in place, but walked straight forward, until they came to the front of another stone bridge, Long Yinyue and Bai Shi stopped.
The stone bridge is very wide, and it is still dimly lit. The degree of brightness of the lights made some idlers even set up a wooden table on this stone bridge, on which rice paper was placed, and a brush was held in their hands. I'm painting at a leisurely pace.
It was a man who looked to be in his thirties, with a blue-gray plain robe, looking like a monk, but the gauze hat on his head and the brush in his hand made him feel a little more scholarly.
If you look closely, this person is not simply a leisurely painter, but also a painter.
This person did not paint in time with the brush, but looked around, and at this moment saw the location of Baishi and Long Yinyue, and his eyes met for a moment. Suddenly bowed his head, and the brush in his hand waved extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, before Shiraishi and Long Yinyue left, he beckoned to Shiraishi and Long Yinyue.
Bai Shi and Long Yinyue frowned at the same time, and after doubts appeared in their hearts, they glanced at each other, and without thinking too much, they walked over.
As the white stone and the dragon chant moon approached. The man immediately picked up the rice paper on the wooden table. On his rice paper, there were portraits of two more people, and this portrait was Bai Shi and Long Yinyue.
Whether it's the eyes, the clothes that slowly flutter on the body. And the standing posture. When it appeared on this rice paper at this moment, it was almost identical, lifelike.
Shiraishi subconsciously gasped, and was amazed in his heart by this person's painting skills. Before he could speak, he heard the man say, "Well, it's very similar." How about selling this painting to you, two spars?"
Long Yinyue didn't have any interest, but Shiraishi was quite interested. While marveling at how superb this person's painting skills were, he was also amazed at his means of selling paintings, and he bargained at the moment and said: "A painting, two spars, a little expensive." Besides, the two of us, how can we divide it? Why don't you draw another one? I'll give you two hedrons. ”
For him who has no business for a day, two spars are enough to give him a great temptation, and painting is also a blink of an eye, after agreeing at the moment, and waving the brush in his hand, the pen and ink flying, after the blink of an eye, there is an identical picture scroll, and then the palm of the hand to the rice paper waved, the ink on it immediately dried. After rolling it up, he smiled and handed it to Shiraishi.
Shiraishi had taken out all the crystal coins from the bank, and after putting them in the storage bag, he immediately took out two crystal coins from the storage bag and handed them to the painter.
On the other side of the stone bridge is a restaurant, which is still some distance from where Shiraishi and Long Yinyue live. At this moment, Long Yinyue looked at the second floor of the restaurant. Through the open window, Long Yinyue saw that there was no one in the second floor, he had something to say to Shiraishi, he wanted to give his inner curiosity and find an answer.
So when he looked at this restaurant, Long Yinyue felt that this was a very suitable place, so he turned his head to look at Bai Shi and said, "Do you know how to drink?"
Bai Shi smiled and said, "I can drink it, but I can't drink much, but since Brother Long wants to drink, that brother is willing to accompany him to the end." ”
Long Yinyue smiled and said, "Since that's the case, then we won't be busy going back." ”
Shiraishi nodded, and walked into the restaurant with Long Yinyue. In this autumn water town, those drunkards are not afraid of being attacked by others, because they will use the power of cultivation to force the wine out.
After entering the restaurant, Long Yinyue ordered some dishes, and after asking for two jars of wine, she walked straight to the second floor with Baishi.
The second floor of the restaurant is made of wooden boards, and even though the wooden planks are very hard, there is still a 'knock' sound when you walk.
After finding a table and sitting down on a wooden table leaning against the window, Bai Shi looked out the window, looked at the pedestrians outside, and then withdrew his gaze, handed a painting in his hand to Long Yinyue, and said, "I didn't seem to be very interested in this painting when I looked at Brother Long's expression before. ”
Long Yinyue smiled and said, "I never buy meaningless things, this painting has no meaning to me. ”
Bai Shi said: "Since Brother Long took the initiative to say that he wanted to drink with his younger brother, in Brother Long's heart, he should admit that his little brother is already a person worthy of contact, and he has been fated since he met Brother Long. There is you and me in this painting. If he sees the person in the painting after he is separated, he can still remember that there is such a person. Isn't this a kind of nostalgia? Isn't it really meaningful for Brother Long to miss these two words?"
Long Yinyue's expression was slightly stiff, and after smiling, she said, "Since Brother Bai has said so, then how can I refuse." A cultivator like Brother Bai is still willing to be friends with me, Long. It can be seen that Brother Bai is a person, tonight, we drank happily. ”
Shiraishi readily agreed, and put the painting in the storage bag. At this moment, the child in the restaurant shouted and brought up the two jars of wine, and said, "Two guest officers, you have to drink and chat." The dish will be served later. ”
After seeing Long Yinyue nodding, the shopkeeper took two more porcelain bowls, put them in front of them, and left in a hurry.
Long Yinyue poured wine into the bowl, and as the aroma of wine spread, suddenly a trace of thought came to Baishi's heart, but he didn't show it, but took the wine handed over by Long Yinyue and smelled the unfamiliar aroma of wine. After colliding with the wine bowl in Long Yinyue's hand, he drank the wine in the bowl.
Shiraishi didn't know the name of this wine, and when he drank it, there was some prickly throat, and there was even a strong spicy sensation, which made Shiraishi's face suddenly appear painful, and it looked extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Long Yinyue wiped the wine droplets that overflowed from the corners of her mouth. daxiao sighed and said, "If you can't drink it, then don't force it." ”
Shiraishi said embarrassedly: "No, it's just the first time I've drunk this wine." I'm not used to the smell yet. ”
"This wine is called Qiuliang, it is the most haode wine in this Qiushui town, don't be afraid, just get used to it. Although my cultivation is not as good as you. But in this wine, I see if I can beat you. Long Yinyue said. And he poured wine into the bowl of white stone.
After drinking the second bowl, Shiraishi's cheeks flushed, but it was indeed much better than before.
At this time, he took the initiative to fill Long Yinyue with wine, and said: "This bowl of wine is to thank Brother Long for taking care of me after his relationship with Baishi. ”
After another bowl of wine, Long Yinyue said: "What Red Lotus said before that he wanted to take you to the third day, or even become a disciple of Tianyazhuang, why didn't you agree?
I didn't expect to step into the third day at all. And, before stepping into the second day, they have to go through a lot of hardships and even give their lives to reach the standard of the next day. On the way here, you saw it too. And you, you can directly step into the third day without blowing any effort, such a request, after you refuse, are you not afraid of regretting it in the future?"
Bai Shi smiled indifferently, with thoughts in his eyes, and said, "Brother Long's goal, is it a few days into it?"
Long Yinyue was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Of course, it's the ninth day." But the ninth day was just a dream. Monks like me, who are free to be the first, strive to be the second, and do not push themselves. ”
Shiraishi smiled and said, "That's it, my goal is also the ninth day, so that third day doesn't have the slightest temptation for me at all." But then again, if it were you who had a conflict with that middle-aged man today, would you still agree to Red Lotus's request?"
"This ......" Hearing this, Long Yinyue froze for a moment, he witnessed everything today. So he continued: "Naturally not. ”
Bai Shi smiled, poured wine in the porcelain bowl again, handed it to Long Yinyue, and said, "So there are some things, since Brother Long already knows, don't ask Brother." Brothers, like you, have my side and dignity. In the future, as long as there is me Baishi, there will definitely be Brother Long. Come on, it!"
After saying that, another bowl of strong wine was served.
Gradually, from their chat, nearly an hour had passed, and in this hour, Shiraishi and Long Yinyue's drinking strength had already increased, but their consciousness was still clear.
At this moment, three monks came up, and after these three monks went upstairs, they subconsciously looked at Bai Shi and Long Yinyue, their eyes showed disgust, and they muttered two drunks in their hearts. And seeing that Bai Shi and Long Yinyue were dressed extremely plainly, he didn't have the slightest idea of robbing them.
At this time, Bai Shi suddenly took out five hundred crystals from the storage bag, put them in front of Long Yinyue with a bang, burped, and said, "Brother Long, this is five hundred crystal coins, for you." ”
The appearance of this spar immediately ushered in the attention of the three monks, and their expressions suddenly changed, their eyes locked on the five hundred crystal coins placed on the wooden table at this moment, and their eyes showed greed and ...... Killing Intent!(To be continued......)
