Painter

Chapter 12: Twelve
Beside the sedan chair, the servant of the Town God's Temple held a white silk with a black ox horn shaft to seal his life. Looking at the man blocking the way, he frowned. He had seen a rogue who stopped a wedding driver asking for money, but he had never seen one who dared to stop a god. dog guts.

A bearer on the left yelled to get out of the way. Li Chan glanced at the bearer and then at the two guests of the Cui family in Beixiang.

The bearer was swept away by that gaze, as if he had been scratched by a knife, and couldn't help but feel stagnant, and seeing Li Chan look away, he became annoyed, let go of the round wooden sedan chair pole on his shoulder, and strode towards Li Chan.Raising his strong and dark arms, he slapped Li Chan on the head.

Li Chan grabbed the bearer's wrist with a slap, but the bearer pulled his hand vigorously, but his hand remained motionless. In desperation, he kicked out, but Li Chan dodged sideways.The bearer's wrist was swayed by the trend, he staggered, and Li Chan staggered, and before he had time to stabilize his lower body, the hollow of his knee seemed to be poked by the point of a gun, and he felt a sharp pain, and fell to his knees with a plop, trembling all over. Can't stand up.

The onlookers were in an uproar.Seeing this, the other three bearers put down the sedan chair together, one of them rushed towards Li Chan, while the other two circled around and rushed forward.

The three of them had big arms and round waists, rough skin and thick flesh. With more hits and fewer hits, they fought hard to get a few hits and approached the opponent. Even if the opponent moved nimbly, they could still grapple and control them.Li Chan retreated half a step, the bearer in front saw this, thought that the opponent was showing cowardice, so he didn't stay any longer.Unexpectedly, there was a flash in front of her eyes, and the next moment, Li Chan was sideways to her side like a ghost.Li Chan grabbed his wrist with one hand, and pierced his armpit with the other, locking his throat like drawing a bow!
The bearer's throat was choked, and the iron-like hand squeezed lightly again. The bearer only heard a muffled crack in his throat, and he couldn't breathe for a while.It was when he was struggling to fight, his eyes went dark, his whole body seemed to be sucked away, and he fell limp.

It wasn't until the back fell heavily to the ground and the body shook that the throat was unobstructed.But the pores all over his body slammed, and a lot of cold sweat broke out like running water. He felt that he had walked between life and death once, and he could no longer summon up the courage to fight!
On the viewing platform by the river, a guest from the Cui family wore a flat scarf on his head, a scarlet robe and white crotch, and black leather shoes. He watched this scene from a distance, put down the blue and white lotus leaf bowl, and said thoughtfully: " A crane captures a dragon?"

Li Chan put one person down, turned around and was about to deal with the other two.But the two bearers backed away hesitantly, Li Chan raised her eyebrows, and took half a step, and the two bearers stepped back two more steps in unison.

"Let's go!" Li Chan waved her hand, turned and walked towards the sedan chair.

call out!When the sound of breaking through the air came, Li Chan grabbed the hidden weapon firmly with his backhand, and at first glance, it was a teak varnished scabbard.

Standing still, looking in the direction of the scabbard, the Cui Jiakeqing in scarlet clothes came over, held the hilt behind his back, and cupped his hands at Li Chan.

"Your Excellency is exquisite in skill, not like a street rogue. Why do you want to stop the gods?"

Li Chan glanced at Jiang Hehe, "An ordinary fisherman is just a fisherman and a ferryman. She can't take on the important role of a goddess."

Li Chan glanced at Jiang Hehe, and his heart jumped.When Li Chan turned her head away, she looked at the man's back, feeling a little scared in her heart, but also very at ease.

"The Goddess was conferred by the City God of Xuandu personally, and she was appointed by the Lord of Pushui." Cui Jiakeqing patiently explained, "The two squares of Qinghe and Anping are in an excellent location, but they are separated by Pushui. If a bridge can be built to connect the two The square is a great event for the benefit of the people, I hope you will not stop it. If you encounter difficulties, I can recommend you to the Cui family. The Cui family in Beixiang is known for benevolence and righteousness. problem."

Cui Jiakeqing was very polite, but everyone in the audience scolded him. Conferring the gods to build bridges is what the people want, and it is a good thing for the people. At this time, it is not too much to arrest Ling Chi. Li Chan said in a low voice But it covered up the noise: "Feng Shennv means the city god, it means the Cui clan of Beixiang, and you all mean it. I just don't know if it means the goddess?" He pointed to Jiang Hehe.

Cui Jiakeqing frowned, "What do you mean?"

"I mean to beat you up."

Li Chan smiled, and rushed towards Ke Qing, the Cui Jia Keqing was startled, retreated as an advance, retreated with his left foot, and slashed horizontally with his sword!

But Li Chan happened to pause for a moment outside the edge of the sword, and when the edge of the sword went away, he approached Keqing Cui's family, poked the scabbard in his hand, and pointed it directly at Keqing's ribs!

Ke Qing sideways dodged, but the tip of the scabbard suddenly tilted upwards!Smack him hard on the jaw!He didn't care about staring at the stars, turned around to avoid the opponent's pursuit, and held the sword against his abdomen with both hands, like a crossbow spring.When turning around, the sword in his hand took advantage of the momentum to chop out, and his legs bowed and arrowed left and right. If the opponent couldn't cope with it, the next step would be a series of advances, cutting and killing, without a chance to breathe!
It's just that the sword had just cut two inches, when the scabbard firmly pressed against the hilt, Ke Qing's strength froze.The scabbard rustled again, turning into three afterimages.Crackling, crackling, three consecutive sounds, Ke Qing's body shook, and his wrists, ribs, and lower abdomen were piercingly painful!The long sword lost its grip and fell to the ground with a clatter.

Li Chan didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, and took a step back, looking down at him with his hands behind his back.

Beads of sweat rolled down Ke Qing's forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Look at Shensheshang... Samsung is in the corner! 28 swords!"

Li Chan raised her eyebrows and said, "I have pretty good eyesight, so I can't fail to see that Goddess Feng is feeding demons with humans."

"I..." Ke Qing showed shame, and when he lowered his head, a dagger slipped out of his sleeve.He jumped up and stabbed at Li Chan's lower abdomen, but in the blink of an eye, Li Chan took a step back in a leisurely manner.Ke Qing was startled, the short sword advanced again, Li Chan retreated again, advanced again, retreated again!After three steps in a row, Ke Qing had exhausted all his strength, and with a click, Li Chan kicked him on the ground.

Li Chan lowered her head and said coldly: "The assassin's sword strikes the strong with the weak, and both jade and stone are destroyed. It's a pity that you have no righteousness in your chest and can't be brave. You can't hurt me with just a bad breath."

Ke Qing's face was ashen, and everyone around the audience yelled angrily, but they all backed away.

Jiang Hehe froze in the sedan chair, the sky faded to white, the earth was dyed with ink, and all living beings of all colors disappeared.Li Chan walked over to Mo Se.

She murmured: "What kind of supernatural power is this?"

"This is a painting environment." Li Chan squatted down and said to Hong Yao who fell into the sedan chair, "It's your obsession."

Is the painting environment the same as the mirage environment?Hong Yao was silent, and after a long time said: "There is no one who is reluctant to part with me, even A Niang."

Li Chan said warmly: "If Mrs. Jiang is willing to part with you, why would she be a spiritual blessing in the Goddess Temple alone? In this small temple, the spiritual response methods that can be sought are only eleven subtle techniques. It is not good to maintain it alone. It's an easy task. There is no general affairs in the temple, she is over sixty years old, and she has to continue the incense every night, how did she persist?"

Hong Yao blinked her eyelashes, shed a teardrop, and murmured: "What's the use of that? We've come to such a place..."

"It's not too late."

"But this, but this is only in the painting! I don't want to be a god, I don't want to be a monster! But I have come to such a place!" Hong Yao cried.

"If you don't want to, it's not too late." Li Chan stretched out her hand, "Follow me into the painting."

Hong Yao wiped away her tears, looked up at Li Chan, subconsciously raised her hand, then retracted, "I can... can I still be a human?"

"Yes." Li Chan laughed.

Hong Yao bit her lip, and put her hand in Li Chan's palm.

The moon shines on the spring river.

The sound and the black ripples, I don't know where to go.

Li Chan stood at the head of the bridge, the white light of the paper lantern swaying in the wind.

The girl in red has disappeared, and the tea on the table is just a bowl of river water with ups and downs.

I don’t know when the painting on the paper was finished. The Goddess Bridge and the river water outlined by Qingbai were so black that they seemed to flow into the night. Only the bridgehead was touched with red medicine with Danzhu, which was so red that it was shocking.

Li Chan stopped writing and turned to look.

In the night, the red medicine plant at the bridge head was blown by a gust of night wind into a shower of flowers, flying towards the entire Xuandu City.
