Painter

Chapter 35: Chapter 35

The wooden window rattled, Cao Yun tightened the bolt and listened carefully, there seemed to be thunder outside.

He went back to the table, raised the lampshade, and snipped off the candles.While listening to the sound of rain, I read "Tiangong Ji", which is a collection of the great achievements of the world.

Cao Yun used to be the supervisor of the general. After retiring, he stayed in the Xunning Palace as the general manager of the palace. He lived a leisurely life, and the palaces were blessed with magical techniques. Normally, there would be no water leakage, and no tides and insects.It's just that the sage will soon be on a tour to the west, and will live in the palace, and Cao Yun's leisurely days will come to an end.He leaned on the chair, while reading a book, while thinking about the preparations for welcoming the saint.

There was a thunderous "boom" in Miyagi, which sounded like a roar at first glance.Cao Yun was taken aback for a moment, and quickly got up and went to push open the door.

The wind and rain were blowing outside the door, and under the gloomy night, a shadow covered with green scales could be vaguely seen, appearing on the Jingyang Palace on the southeast side, swimming around the top of the palace.

Cao Yun was stunned, and Qing Ying disappeared.

His face became serious, and he called out, "Left and right!"

……

In the heavy rain, dozens of guards in armor and with knives surrounded Jingyang Palace in the rain.

Searching around for a while, a soldier approached and shouted: "Boss, this way!"

Cao Yun brought up the rain-proof sharkskin lantern and came to the palace wall on the east side of Jingyang Palace.

On the inner wall of the palace wall surrounding the entire palace city is a picture of "Wanling Chaoyuan Picture", which shows all the birds and beasts in the world.Cao Yun has been the head of the palace for 20 years, and he knows every mural very well, but he also remembers its appearance.

The yellow light of sharkskin lanterns illuminates the Sanzhang palace wall in front of you.On this wall of the palace, there was originally a painting of a gray bird with a human head and a snake body covered with green scales.

At this time, the mural seemed to have been washed away by the rain, leaving only a very faint trace of paint.

……

"Bao Wuquan!"

"Bao Wuquan!"

Li Chan called the name of the spleen god.

In the visualization, a villain with a phoenix crown and feather clothes emerged.The villain turned into a yellow light and submerged above Li Chan's left rib.

Li Chan's upper body was bare, and under the candlelight, there were three divine patterns in front of him, which seemed to be connected.

He picked up the clothes and put them on his body, got up and tightened his belt. On the table was a painting, in which was a monster with a body like a head.This monster was born in the Great Moon Kingdom, known as "Always Follow the Demon", and was respected by the local aborigines as the Heaven of Huanxi, possessing great strength.

Li Chan put away the scroll and put it in the box.

Outside the courtyard, there was the sound of rain and spring thunder, but the courtyard was dry and refreshing. In the kitchen, the red medicine was boiling water, and at the same time, I asked Sao Qingniang on the window for the key to framing.

Suddenly, a red paper-cut female doll floated down from the window and swayed to the eaves by the wind.Sao Qingniang appeared on the roof, looking north.Seeing this, Li Chan jumped up and landed on the roof like a kite, following Sao Qingniang's gaze.

The night rain covered the sky and the earth, and when I looked from a distance, I could only see a hundred paces away.His blue eyes passed through the heavy rain curtain, and when he saw the direction of Xunning Palace, a blue shadow flashed away, and he asked: "What is that?"

Sao Qingniang looked at the north and replied, "Wan Ling Chao Yuan Tu."

That mural?Li Chan looked at the north again, everything was covered under heavy rain.

"That's the big formation protecting Miyagi." Sao Qingniang turned her head and said to Li Chan, "It seems to have been touched by something."

Li Chan recalled that blue shadow, which vaguely had scales.

Hanging on the wall and flying, these four words came to his mind.

"I'll go and have a look." Li Chan jumped down from the roof.

"The movement just now may have alarmed the practitioner." Sao Qingniang followed behind him, "Shao Lang, don't be reckless."

"Just go around Miyagi."

Sao Qingniang said: "Since Shaolang has decided, let's go. But Xu Da and the others must be brought along."

Li Chan called to the west side of the courtyard: "Xu Da!"

The white cat leaped out of the study room with the scroll in its mouth, raised its head, and threw the scroll.

With a bang, the scroll unfolded for about ten feet.

Dozens of shadows flew across East Kitchen, the main house, and the study, disappearing into the painting scroll.

The brooms toppled over, the ladles rolled down, and the possessed demons left, they all became dead things.

When the shadows are not included in the picture scroll, they become ghosts and monsters.

Li Chan reached out to catch the scroll, and rolled it up halfway. Xu Da called out to Hong Yao, "Miss Hong Yao, what are you still doing?"

Hong Yao reacted, hurriedly scooped out a ladle of water to extinguish the stove fire, and flew into the picture scroll.

Li Chan rolled up the painting scroll, hung it on his waist, put on the coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and jumped up to the courtyard, and jumped into the mid-spring night rain.

……

Tu Shanxi stumbled and ran out of the imperial city, she waved her hand backwards, and threw the broken knife behind her.

With a sound of "clang", a ray of sparks burst out in the night rain, and the sparks illuminated the green scales. The horizontal knife was bounced high and disappeared in the night.

She leaned on the ground and slid back a few feet. She supported the ground with her left hand and held the barrier knife with her right hand. She kicked with one foot again. The bluestone ground suddenly cracked, and her body turned into an afterimage. shoot!His long eyes were like blades, his teeth were clenched tightly, and his face was ferocious.

"Ding" a second, the tip of the knife pierced the green scales, breaking into pieces like ice flakes!Tu Shanxi's body flew upside down and landed heavily on the ground, limp, like a boneless puppet.

Blood overflowed from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and was washed away by the rain in an instant. Only the gap between her clenched white teeth was still shockingly scarlet.

Panting, she rolled vigorously, and her body suddenly disappeared, leaving only her clothes and a broken knife soaked in the muddy water.A three-foot-long white fox got out of the clothes and flew out without looking back.

The blue scales were faintly visible, chasing a hundred feet away from the palace wall.Indifferently watching the white fox run away, he did not chase after all.

The white fox fled for two miles, finally exhausted, and fell headlong into the rain.The temperature of the body was quickly taken away by the rain, and the vision gradually blurred.

But the sound of footsteps was heard in the ear.

Tu Shansi forcefully opened a line of eyes, in a trance, only saw a man walking over.

Behind him, there are ghostly fires, a girl in red holding a lantern, a nine-foot beast in the shape of a tiger and leopard, a nightshade, a ghost...

The man squatted down in front of her, and before she lost consciousness, she only saw a pair of mandarin duck eyes.

Ruouowu's voice rang in her ears.

"The white fox has grown a rhinoceros horn... It turned out to be the crossbreeding of the Qingqiu fox and the Tongtian rhinoceros..."
