Painter

Chapter 150 150: Peach City
In Luming Academy, a strange person came.The strange man's name was Li Dan. According to Liu Jian who was next to him, Li Dan was from Qingling in Lizhou, but there were two students from Lizhou in the academy who had never heard of this name.His identity was shrouded in a hazy mist.

After Xu Yingqiu's visit, Li Dan went into seclusion for another six days, and after leaving the seclusion, he seldom socialized with others.

At the invitation of the head of the mountain, he went to drink wine twice.

Cui Hanzhen, who once had a dispute with Li Dan, spent half a month behind closed doors thinking hard, and suddenly one night, before the candle, he realized some truths.The lecturer, who was close to knowing his fate, picked up his obsession again, and the next morning, he went outside the Qingxin Hospital and apologized to Li Dan in public.

On the same day, Cui Hanzhen resigned from his post as a lecturer, packed up his money, left Xuandu, went east to Yujing, and then took the examination of Qianyuan Academy.

Except for these few exchanges, Li Dan has always been a loner, with mysterious whereabouts.

The rumors about him became more and more bizarre.

It is said that someone once followed Li Dan into the mountain out of curiosity. On that rare sunny afternoon, there was a mountain fog.He lost his way in the fog, turned around, and returned to the original place, losing sight of Li Dan.

One morning when the clothes were drizzled, someone was in the willow forest in the shade of the mountain, and saw a beautiful woman following Li Dan.

Someone once saw him break off the bark of an elm tree struck by lightning, and scribble a few times on the mountain wall, and it became a picture of a spring stream.

Someone once ran into Li Dan in the mountains. He was dressed in kudzu clothes, his face was painted with flowers, and if his long hair fell loose, he looked like a witch.

Someone once saw Li Dan sitting alone in the pavilion in the flowerless peach grove, holding a mirror, laughing and crying sometimes.

……

Maybe it's because Li Chan polished the dirty mirror for the first time in that pavilion. Every time he looks at the mirror, he always goes to the ancient pavilion in the peach blossom forest.

He once let the monsters around him look into the mirror, and in the eyes of the monsters, the mirror surface was still blurred, but he was the only one who could see the clear mirror image.

Every time he sees a mirror image, he seems to become a person in the mirror, experiencing its joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys.

In this way, he has seen one mirror, two mirrors, and three mirrors.

……

In the forest of Luming Mountain, the peach blossoms that have fallen to the ground still have a little pink and white. With the cold night and warm day, the sunshine and rain alternate, they gradually become the same color as the sky and the earth, turning into spring mud.

In the far west, on Dushuo Mountain, there are big peach trees piercing the sky and the ground, and the peach blossoms on the branches are still crimson like a raging fire, burning the whole vault.

The chariots from Dayong Kingdom trekked forward under the shade of this crimson color.

When this team came out of Longwu Pass, it was much sparser, and there were some terrible scars on Feng Chenwei's crimson robe and gold armor.When the armor rubbed against each other, the scars seemed to release a soaring evil spirit.

In the sky, ghost pao with a human head and black wings was hovering, deterred by the evil aura, only dared to land on the cliff dozens of miles away, and looked at that strange team from afar.

Li Yin rode a yellow horse and was at the forefront of the team.He sat on the dragon chair of Emperor Dayong for more than [-] years, his eyes became as deep as the abyss, but his black silkworm-like eyebrows still clearly showed the heroic spirit of chasing demons in the past.

As a human emperor, he could have sat firmly in the palace and controlled the country, but he ignored the opposition of most of the imperial court and the two religions, and went to the west of the country.After two months, dozens of monster attacks, large and small, and three times of siege, he went to the foot of Taodu Mountain.

Some people said that his move was to publicize the country's prestige and to shine in the annals of history.Just like when Emperor Ming built Duiyue to suppress the eye of the earth, it was said to be a great achievement.

Li Yin didn't argue about this, he had no time to deal with those who pretended to be ignorant.He came here to do an important thing, so important that he refused to hand it over to others, but took the risk himself.He rode Chenghuang, looked up at the big peach tree in the distance, and thought of the old man he recalled by the fish dragon pool.

This place is already at the foot of Dushuo Mountain, facing an abyss in which the water is bottomless.Suddenly there was a horse neighing at the front, and it was Jiang Dulu, the general of Fengchenwei, who took the reins and stopped to wait.Li Yin drove Chenghuang, surrounded by guards, went up to check, and saw Jiang Dulu pointing to the ground in front, where there was a footprint.

It seemed to be a child's footprint, with five clear toes, printed on the dried black mud.

Traveling all the way west, Jiang Dulu is extremely sensitive to any strange omens.This kind of footprint is not enough in Dayong's country.But at the foot of Taodu Mountain, which is overgrown with monsters, a child's footprints appeared, which is unbelievable.

After a while, Xu Ruowang, the young supervisor of Sitianjian, who was proficient in spells and divination, was called to the footprints.The young supervisor looked carefully at every print of the footprints, covered them with palms, and closed his eyes to do the divination.Intermittent images appeared in his mind, under the calm water surface in the abyss, there were waves surging, and a huge black dragon body loomed.

The young supervisor only saw this, and reported what he saw. After a while, a sergeant brought more than ten cattle and sheep.The cattle and sheep stopped in front of the abyss, but were pushed into the abyss, howling and falling into the water.

With the sound of rushing water, a huge black figure emerged from the water, dragged the cattle and sheep into the bottom of the water, only a few black scales were faintly exposed.The army then passed by the edge of the abyss, perhaps because of the tolls of the more than ten cattle and sheep, there was no movement in the abyss.

……

Until the people of Dayong Kingdom went away, a hill-like head quietly floated under the water surface, with two horns on the forehead, yellow pupils and black scales.

The black flood dragon looked at those figures going west, the blood of cattle and sheep overflowed from the corner of its mouth, staining the lake red.

Hei Jiao remembered that less than ten years ago, someone also passed by here.

It looked to the east, where the footprints were, and a red figure floated in its heart.

It was a gentle-looking woman in red, leading a young boy wrapped in animal skins, walking over here and leaving Taodu Mountain.

Even after nearly ten years, the black flood dragon, who had reached the realm of knowledge, remembered the red dress, and his yellow eyes still showed fear, and dived into the water again.

When the waves are calm, there is only scarlet on the water.

……

According to folk rumors, 23 years ago, people from two religions gathered on Taodu Mountain to watch the painting saint Li Chengzhou ascend.

Twenty-three years later, Taodu Mountain, which has been untouched for a long time, ushered in people from Dayong Kingdom.

Li Yin straddled Chenghuang and walked to the foot of the big peach tree. The root system of the peach wood grave stretched for thousands of miles, and it was as majestic as a city wall.

On the trunk, there is a soul-stirring sword mark. Inside the sword mark, there seems to be a mixture of lead and mercury, molten gold, cinnabar, and malachite.

In the meantime, black smoke sprang out occasionally, like a ghostly shadow.

Before these lights and shadows escaped from the sword marks, they were blocked by an enchantment.The enchantment is glowing with two colors of blue and blue, like a fetal membrane formed by a rainbow light.There is a person under the enchantment, raising his finger as if waving a pen.

This person is like a dead tree, lifeless.

There are rumors in the market that in the painting, the blood of Shengbi turns into a rainbow and ascends to immortality.Few people know that when the two sects gathered here, Li Chengzhou was alone under the big peach tree, with blue blood and a rainbow, sealing the sword mark.

Li Yin got off the yellow ride and looked up at the figure.

He also remembered that the old man sat opposite him on the Deyue Tower after subduing tens of thousands of demons with a picture of mountains and seas.

At that time, the monsters in Dayong were all gone, but Li Chengzhou pointed to the sky: "This country is also the biggest monster."
