Chapter 304: The Mural
The old man in the painting did not make things difficult for Feng Yun and the others, and directly told the truth.
"Sure enough, it's the predecessor of the painting saint!" When Nangong Jiao'er heard the name of the old man in the painting, she was overjoyed.
Tuoran Daoist stared at Nangong Jiao'er for a moment, and actually laughed: "This breath is ...... It turned out to be a descendant of the Nangong family, but it is not easy to think of my inheritance, looking at the old friendship when I went to Baixian Island to seek Taoism, it is not impossible to let you leave now. ”
Hearing this, Feng Yun didn't react, as Nangong Jiao'er said, there are not many major repairs on Jiuzhou that are good at painting the Tao, and the sects that teach the method of painting the Tao are even rarer, and the Nangong family is the oldest one of them, since this senior has the name of the painting saint, it is not surprising that he has visited the Nangong family.
Fang Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, and then there was a burst of ecstasy, the Nangong family, although it is located in a detached area, it has always been low-key, but the name of the first family in Jiuzhou is not fake, second-rate or even third-rate sects such as Yinhumen, they are not even worthy of carrying shoes in front of the Nangong family!
"I didn't expect these two seniors to be from the Nangong family, I'm Zhengqing or not! Ancestor, father, second uncle, is it your spirit in the sky that is blessing Zhengqing! Fang Zhengqing felt a burst of joy in his heart, completely forgetting the situation he was in.
"Since I am fortunate to be here, the younger generation naturally hopes to get a glimpse of the true meaning of painting, and I hope that the predecessors of the painting saint will not hesitate to give advice!" Nangong Jiao'er's eyes burned, and he replied with a smile to Tuoran Daoren.
Tuoran Daoist looked at her for a moment, slowly restrained his smile, and said in a deep voice: "This path of seeking the Tao is to be the enemy of heaven and earth, the mountains and rocks are ghosts, the plants and trees are ghosts, and people are also ghosts. ”
With the words of Tuoran Daoist, the wind in the depths of Yongdao was full for a while, ghosts cried wolves, and a terrible cry was breathtaking, and Fang Zhengqing was suddenly dragged out of his dream, and hurriedly escaped from behind Feng Yun, as if there were powerful ghosts gushing out from the darkness behind them in the next moment.
Feng Yun ignored the frightened Fang Zhengqing, but asked, "Dare to ask the seniors, in addition to the purpose of guiding the way, does this picture scroll have other functions?" "According to the Tuoran Taoist people, the one who gets the picture scroll and looks for it here is his destined person, so he has to take some special care for the destined person.
Tuoran Daoist looked at Feng Yun again, looked at it for a moment and let out a light sigh, and then couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha, when I woke up, I was able to encounter three quick things, maybe my generation's wish can finally be written." ”
Nangong Jiao'er couldn't help but look at Feng Yun suspiciously, but saw that Feng Yun also had the same expression.
"Could it be that this person has seen my Liangyi Xuanshen Treasure Sutra? It's impossible......" He was about to ask, when he heard the Daoist Tuoran say: "In addition to the purpose of guiding the way, this scroll can also give those who have undergone the test three chances to leave, and after three times, it will be regarded as having no chance with my inheritance, and the door will no longer be opened." As I just said, for the sake of my old friendship with the Nangong family, this time it can not be counted, you can wait until the preparation is complete. ”
Saying that, Tuoran Daoist glanced at Fang Zhengqing, who was pale and his legs trembled, and his expression seemed to indicate that it was unlikely that this person would pass the test, and together with this person, it might add difficulty to Feng Yun and the others, and the most important thing was that Tuoran Daoist also saw that this person and Feng Yun were not together, otherwise how could Feng Yun and the others show people in an illusion.
Feng Yun and Nangong Jiao'er glanced at each other.
"Why don't we come back at another time?" To Feng Yun's surprise, Nangong Jiao'er actually retreated.
"Are you worried about Fang Zhengqing and the Silver Tiger Gate?" Feng Yun asked.
Nangong Jiao'er nodded: "Anyway, we have time, so we don't need to rush for a while." ”
Feng Yun thought for a while, but shook his head and said: "This time the Silver Tiger Gate doesn't know our strength, we can still fight if we get the inheritance, the next time the Silver Tiger Gate knows our identity, it will definitely make a big deal if we are defeated, and then it will be difficult to enter this place safely to accept the test, and the closest thing to here is not the Liyu or Kan Domain, but the Demon Shengtian and the Le Poison Sect." ”
If the Silver Tiger Gate is really waiting outside, it is inevitable that they will go out to a big battle, but Feng Yun and Nangong Jiao'er's spells are too representative, they can't hide it from people at all, as long as they investigate a little, they will definitely be recognized, and the Silver Tiger Gate can't afford to offend the Nangong family, nor can it afford to offend the ghost old man, and if they are unwilling, they may take this matter to the Kanyu Domain Lord Immortal Yu Sect.
If it is still said in other domains, but this is the Zhongzhou Forest, and it is also close to the Qianyu and Xun domains, whether it is the Demon Shengtian or the Le Poison Sect, it is possible to interfere, once these two families intervene, things will only become more troublesome, even if the Nangong family is the first family in Jiuzhou, but far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the Xianyu Sect will not say it for the time being, the Le Poison Sect and the Demon Shengtian are not easy to get along.
Nangong Jiao'er thought about it, and had to admit Feng Yun's statement.
Seeing that Nangong Jiao'er didn't refute, Feng Yun asked again: "Senior, may I ask if these three chances, are these three opportunities for one person three times, or are there three of us in total?" "It's a life-threatening issue, it's very important.
"There is only one painting scroll, naturally there are three times in total, but you can choose to go out first, and then go in alone with the painting scroll to withstand the test." Tuoran Daoren said with a smile.
Hearing this, Feng Yun and Nangong Jiao'er couldn't help but smile bitterly at the same time.
"Seniors don't know, this time we came in, there are strong enemies peeping outside, I'm afraid it will be difficult to come in again after we go out." Feng Yun said helplessly.
"This matter has nothing to do with me, whether you can get the inheritance of my generation is your business, everything is up to you." Tuoran said with a smile that he didn't care about himself.
But it's already here, and it's useless to think about it. So Feng Yun said directly to Fang Zhengqing: "We only have this one chance, if we miss this opportunity, things will be in trouble, and it is very likely that we will not even be able to keep the picture scroll, so you had better follow us, otherwise you will be sent out in advance alone, and I dare not guarantee that you will not fall into the hands of the Silver Tiger Gate." ”
Fang Zhengqing heard this, his two strands trembled, his mouth was closed like a goldfish, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, he could die if he went in, or he could die when he went out, how to choose this?
However, Feng Yun didn't give him much time to think about it, you must know that the situation of the Silver Tiger Gate outside is all speculation, no matter what, the sooner you go out, the sooner you will be safe.
"Give you five numbers to consider, after five numbers, if you don't speak, I will treat you as if you don't dare to go in, and then I will ask the painting saint to send you out. Five, four......" After that, Feng Yun counted directly without the slightest intention of waiting.
When Fang Zhengqing heard Feng Yun's urging, his mind suddenly went blank, and he reacted that Feng Yun had already counted to three.
"I, I, I'm in! I followed the two seniors in! Fang Zhengqing hurriedly shouted, following Feng Yun and the others, he might still have a glimmer of life, if he went out and met the people of the Silver Tiger Gate, he would be dead. However, saying this sentence seemed to drain his strength, and as he finished speaking, he couldn't help but fall to the ground in despair.
Now that Fang Zhengqing had an answer, Feng Yun didn't waste any more time and looked at Nangong Jiao'er, who nodded at him to signal that he was ready.
"It seems that you already have a plan, in that case, you can do it yourself, if you want to go out, you can call my name." As he spoke, Tuoran Daoist waved his sleeves and put the scroll in his hand, and then walked directly to the walls on both sides of the road, and disappeared after submerging into it.
There were suddenly only Feng Yun and the three of them left in the corridor, and after a moment of silence, Feng Yun and Nangong Jiao'er both packed up their minds and prepared to move forward, while Fang Zhengqing was still sitting on the ground with no master, not knowing what to think.
"Hey, if you don't go, if you don't go, you can sit here alone." After Feng Yun greeted Fang Zhengqing, he took the lead and walked forward.
was shouted by Feng Yun, Fang Zhengqing suddenly returned to his soul, he has only one advantage, he can carry it clearly when it is related to his life, and quickly put away the messy thoughts and follow Feng Yun.
It was still in the same formation as before, and Feng Yun walked in front with the lighting bead to explore the way for the three of them. After a while, under the illumination of white light, the two sides of the corridor are no longer plain, but there are traces like children's graffiti, the lines are messy, and it is impossible to see what is being painted.
Feng Yun couldn't help but look at Nangong Jiao'er, after all, Nangong Jiao'er was an expert in painting.
"What do you want me to do? I don't recognize what it is. Who knew that Nangong Jiao'er also looked uncertain.
After hearing this, Feng Yun had no choice but to turn around and continue to move forward. As the three of them walked forward, there were more and more graffiti on both sides, and after dozens of feet, the graffiti on the wall finally had some outlines.
"Is this a picture of a human or a ghost?" Fang Zhengqing asked quietly.
Feng Yun pondered for a while and said his guess: "Could this be a painting drawn by a person from childhood to adulthood?" "From the first meaningless lines to the graffiti that can now see the outline, the improvement of the drawing technique is like a toddler growing into an enlightened child.
"We'll find out if we keep walking." Nangong Jiao'er said slowly.
Just as Feng Yun guessed, the more the three of them moved forward, the growth of the pictures on the walls on both sides was almost visible to the naked eye, and after dozens of zhang, there were already good-looking paintings such as landscapes and plants on the wall. Walking to the back, even Nangong Jiao'er stopped from time to time to admire some exquisite paintings.
At first, it was just lines, then children's graffiti, then slightly immature grass and landscapes, then mountains and rivers with their own style, and then lifelike landscapes, so that they had almost reached the pinnacle of what a mortal painter could do, but the transformation on the walls did not end there.
Whether it is the characters or the beautiful scenery, it seems that the painter can no longer satisfy the artist, and his gaze finally begins to stretch out beyond the mundane, so the painting begins to appear cultivators who stand up for nothing, powerful fighting scenes, and terrifying beasts...... Sometimes the fairy dances and the shadow, and sometimes the evil beast devours people. Towards the back, the transformations on both sides of the corridor are almost completely divided into two styles, the left side is like a fairyland, and the right side is like a netherworld.
The more Feng Yun and Nangong Jiao'er looked at it, the more frightened they became, even the two of them couldn't help but be shaken when they saw these transformations, the ethereal fairyland on the left side was yearning, and the fierce ghosts on the right were terrifying.
Fang Zhengqing was even more compassionate, and walked far away from the wall on the right, for fear that the human smell on his body would lead out the evil ghosts on the wall.
After walking for a while, Feng Yun suddenly stopped.
Nangong Jiao'er and Fang Zhengqing suddenly became vigilant, and the two looked towards Feng Yun's line of sight, only to see that the fairyland mural on the left came to an abrupt end, as if the fairy road was cut off, making the three of them feel a little uncomfortable in their hearts, while the evil ghosts and fierce beasts on the right were still roaring, and the momentum was violent, as if they were going to choose people to devour in the next moment.
"Be careful." Feng Yun reminded in a deep voice, he still remembered that Tuoran Daoist walked directly down from the picture scroll, and now the atmosphere is weird, and there is no surprise that anything happens.
Fang Zhengqing nodded vigorously, holding the sword in both hands and not daring to relax, his body moved to the left side again, even if the fierce ghost beast on the right really ran out of the wall, he could still have a certain amount of reaction time.
However, the three of them didn't take a few steps before something unexpected happened.
A big cyan hand suddenly stretched out from the wall, and Fang Zhengqing, who was staring closely at the mural on the right side at this moment, was grabbed by it!
