Painter

Chapter 46: Chapter 46
Xue Qingluo looked at Lian Yi in surprise for a while, and said tentatively: "Young lady wants to find it, the young lady is..."

Responding to Xue Qingluo's question, Lianyi's eyes were stained with a layer of muddy gold in the darkness, reflecting the pupils and curled eyelashes.When the golden light dissipated, the Qiandara-colored man-cloak was once again dark and mixed into the same color.

"Practitioner..." Xue Qingluo opened his mouth, then came back to his senses, and begged: "Master, please save my mother and daughter!"

Lian Yi helped her up, "Since the mountain god turned you into a ghost, how did you escape?"

Xue Qingluo hurriedly explained: "Master, don't get me wrong. It turned my mother and daughter into ghosts and kidnapped my mother to blackmail me and seduce strangers for it. But how could I do such a thing? When I met strangers on the mountain, I just acted like monsters to scare them away. But I met Zhao Lang half a month ago..."

She was about to cry at this point.

"Zhao Lang's death was an accident. My Xue family has been practicing music for generations. That day I saw Zhao Lang reciting poems and libretto at Jingsangmen. Humans and ghosts have different paths, but I have been alone on this black mountain for a long time, coming and going again and again, but I was moved by love... I didn't expect him... to come to my father's grave to find me, and he fell into the magic of the mountain god."

"So that's how it is." Lianyi turned her head to look at Li Chan, "Miss Xue and I are going to subjugate the demons. Master Tan doesn't have to take any risks, why not wait here?"

Li Chan shook her head, "I'll go with you."

Lian Yi pondered for a while, then smiled and said: "Alright, although you are not a practitioner, since you can make Li Zhaoxuan suffer, you must have some skills. Lady Xue, please lead the way."

Xue Qingluo lowered her head and said, "I still want to see Zhao Lang."

Li Chan and Lianyi looked at each other and moved out of the way.Xue Qingluo walked into the room, saw the poems and names on the hemp paper by the candle-burning desk, and sighed: "If you go, who will listen to my singing again..."

Amidst the sound of wind and insects in Wushan, mournful singing was intermittent.

"Farewell to Mr. Zheliu... Wushan Yu..."

"Days and nights... Heartbroken sentences..."

……

In the night, the painter, nun and female ghost pass through Jingsang Gate.The stone road, which has endured many years of walking and trampling, has not been repaired for a long time, and has been broken in many places. When you walk to the roughest part of the road, the steps are shallow and deep, and the lanterns will float up and down like will-o'-the-wisps.

The scent of flowers was pungent, and the sound of insects disturbed the ears. Lian Yisu plucked the rosary in her sleeve with her hands, and said, "Just now, I heard Lady Xue singing, and it seems that her style is quite different from that of other musicians."

Xue Qingluo, who was dressed in filial piety, walked in front and said: "My ancestors once communicated with Guizi Chinese musicians, and they were familiar with Western music art, and then created five dan and seven tunes. This is a skill passed down in my family, and it can be regarded as a new way. In the past, family members often served as court musicians in the Jiaofang Division, but in my father's generation, they declined."

Lian Yi asked: "How could this be?"

"Fate and fate." Xue Qingluo sighed, "My ancestor was famous in Xuandu when he was alive, but unfortunately he died young. My father inherited the talent of my ancestor. He wanted to be better than blue from blue. It took several years of hard work to compose A piece of music, but this score is too difficult to sing, no one in the Jiaofang Division can do it."

Lian Yiqi said: "No matter how difficult the song is, it's not impossible to sing it."

Xue Qingluo said: "There are 35 tunes in five Dan and seven tunes. It is a musical art that is not passed on in my family. It is different from Dayong's popular 28 tunes. In addition, in the songs composed by my late father, some palace tunes have too strange turns. Some are too long, and it is really beyond the reach of ordinary people, unless a person who has practiced the breathing technique extremely deeply and is also proficient in music theory can sing it, but actors are cheap, where can they be found to sing songs like this? What about it? My late father put all his heart and soul into writing this piece of music, but after that he became ill and died young."

A mountain depression appeared in front of the conversation room, Xue Qingluo stopped, "It's almost here, the mountain god is entrenched beside my father's tomb."

Lianyi glanced at Xue Qingluo's body, and said softly: "Even if I kill that monster, I can only save you two."

"Master's great favor, I only have to repay it in the next life." Xue Qingluo suddenly knelt down to Lianyi.

"Why is this?" Lian Yi helped her up.

Xue Qingluo pleaded: "There is one more thing to ask the mage. Later, when the mage goes with me, the mountain god may find out. If he knows that I have disobeyed it, I am afraid it will harm my mother... When the time comes , I dragged it with all my might, and only asked the sorcerer to save my mother, at least so that she would not be humiliated by that monster again and again, and in the end, her soul would be eaten by that monster."

Lian Yi said: "I will definitely not disappoint Miss Xue's filial piety."

Xue Qingluo thanked again, and the three of them turned around the valley and saw a flat land on the mountainside.There is a solitary tomb on the flat ground, the solitary tomb is sealed with stone railings, and ten feet to the east is a mud-walled and grass-covered room with a yellow leather lantern hanging at the door. A woman in mourning.It was the hour of Xu, and she was like an ordinary woman waiting for her daughter to return.

"Auntie!"

Xue Qingluo called from afar, and led Lian Yi and Li Chan to walk over.The woman stood up at the door, and without taking a step away from the door, she waved: "Green snail, green snail!"

During the conversation, the two parties were close to more than ten steps away.

A strange laugh suddenly came from the house behind the woman: "Okay, okay! How dare you plot against me!"

A long shadow appeared behind the woman, Xue Qingluo turned pale with fright, and ran over, the woman also screamed and escaped two steps.The two were only a short distance away, and they were able to hold hands, but the woman's waist was caught by the long shadow, and she flew back backwards!

"Auntie!"

Xue Qingluo yelled and rushed forward.The unadorned clothes on the exquisite body in lotus clothes suddenly swelled, and she covered a distance of several feet in one step, and grabbed the woman's shoulders, and the rosary beads wrapped around her arms shone brilliantly.Under the golden light, the thing wrapped around the woman's waist was smooth and sticky, dripping with saliva, and it was terrifying!
"Caught it!" Lianyi yelled loudly, and forcibly stabilized the woman's body. The woman hugged her with all four limbs as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Lianyi has no doubts about him.

But there was a strange cyan sword light in the rear, shot out suddenly, first reflected a ray of icy moonlight, and then disappeared into the darkness in an instant.Without warning, a bloody hole was pierced between the woman's eyebrows!
"You!" Lian Yi was stunned, and was about to blame Li Chan, but saw that the woman's eyebrows were pierced, but her expression did not change at all.Her body, even the tongue wrapped around her waist, trembled as though in pain!Then her body slid out of the mourning dress, retracting together with the long tongue, as soft as if there were no bones.Her skin is sticky and smooth. Although she has a head and limbs, it is the tip of a tongue that grows into a human shape!
In an instant, the tongue retracted into the room.Xue Qingluo also took the opportunity to go in and disappeared.

Lianyi felt a chill in her heart.

Li Chan exhaled a sword energy, and the blue-gold Su Ling Sheng Shen pattern on her chest was already dimmed.He stepped forward with his sword in hand, fixed his eyes on the dark doorway, and explained: "This is changing the tongue, using the tip of the tongue to transform into a suffering person, attracting people to take the bait."

"Why do you..." Lian Yi continued to ask, but Li Chan didn't stop, and flew into the cottage.

Lian Yi stood where she was, feeling a little at a loss for a while.She is a cultivator, but she is just a newcomer to Jijing. The Dharma Gate of the Great Bodhi Temple will become a Buddha without practicing it.
