Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 732 Two iron galls
Hearing Wang Haolan's yelling, Ding Ermiao walked over.

I saw Wang Haolan standing in front of a painting on the east gable of the living room, looking at it with eyebrows.

"You think there's something weird about this painting?" Ding Ermiao asked.

Wang Haolan nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Ermiao. Look at this painting, does it look a little strange?"

Ding Ermiao glanced at it for a few times. It was just a four-foot-long painting. It showed a bearded Taoist facing the sea, with his feet on rocks and a sword on his shoulder. He was tall and mighty. He was holding a whisk in one hand and holding two two sticks in the other. A gleaming iron gall.

The iron gall is only the size of a table tennis ball. Although it is in the painting, it looks very realistic, just like the real thing.The sparkling light has a magical power that makes people dare not look directly.

In front of the painting is an incense table with incense candles on it.

Looking at this posture, it seems that the person in the painting is an elder of the demon Qi Tiangao's sect, so Qi Tiangao hung the portrait here and worshiped it with incense.

Because the man in the painting is dressed in Taoist style, there is no way to confirm which era he is from his clothes.

"Where's the weirdness?" Ding Ermiao looked at it for a long time, and he already had some concerns in his heart, so he didn't say anything, and first tried to test Wang Haolan.

Wang Haolan pointed at the iron galls on the painting and said: "I think this is weird. These two iron galls always feel evil. Just taking a look at them makes me feel cold and panicked."

"It's rare and strange. It's just painted with bone powder. The bone contains phosphorus, so it has such a reflective effect. If you look at it at night, you will find that this iron gall is even more demonic."

Ding Ermiao stepped forward, pointed at the picture, and said slowly: "The real weird thing is the hanging height. It can be hung a little higher, but why is it hung so low? You don't need to raise your hands to hang it." Touch it?"

Wang Haolan was stunned when he heard this, and then thought about it, this is what happened.

The upper end of the painting in front of you is slightly higher than the person, but you can reach out and touch it, but the lower end hangs down to the person's chest.Standing in front of the painting, you are exactly face to face with the person in the painting, at the same level.

"Since it is a portrait for worship, it is obviously unreasonable to hang it so low." Ding Ermiao thought for a while and said, "There must be something strange behind it. Everyone, step aside and I will uncover it."

There is another point that Ding Ermiao is even more puzzled about.That's when the demon Qitian Gao was about to leave. Why didn't he take this painting with him?Could it be that he was so panicked that when he ran away, he didn't even want the Patriarch?

After thinking about it, Ding Ermiao felt that this painting was probably a bait left by Qi Tiangao, and maybe there was a fatal mechanism behind it.

Everyone nodded, dispersed, and stepped aside.

Ding Ermiao reached out with his backhand and had already killed ten thousand people in his hand.

The strange thing is that the moment Ten Thousand People was unsheathed, the two iron galls on the painting seemed to have a sudden increase in brilliance at the same time, and they flashed past.

Is it reflected by the light of the sword, or is there some connection or induction between the iron gall in this painting and the killing of ten thousand people?Ding Ermiao was also in a daze for a moment. When he looked at it again, Tiedan returned to normal.

"Er Miao, be careful, this painting is really weird!" Gu Qinglan, who was on the side, also noticed this weirdness, and reminded Ding Ermiao to be careful.

Ding Ermiao nodded, placed the sword against the wall, and gently lifted the painting.

Sure enough, there were hidden grids on the wall behind the painting.On the hidden compartment, there is a dark red sandalwood box the size of a shoe box.

After taking a look, Ding Ermiao raised the tip of his sword and cut the lanyard.The painting then fell to the ground, and the hidden grid behind it was completely exposed to everyone.

The hidden compartment is not big, just like a small shrine made by hollowing out the wall.However, what is placed in the shrine is not the God of Wealth or Guanyin, but a sandalwood box.

The box is not locked, it is just fastened with a tiger-head buckle.

"Brother Ermiao, be careful there is a mechanism in the box!" Wang Haolan stood in the distance, watching on tiptoe, and said.

Everyone can see it now.The demon ran away, but left the box here. It was easily discovered. It must have been intentional.

Because this box is small, it is not something that cannot be taken away. Moreover, the sandalwood box is well made and has a simple style. It looks like a valuable item at first glance.

Ding Ermiao nodded and said: "I understand, please stay farther away to prevent poisonous smoke or something inside."

Ge Wenxu said: "Wait a minute, how about I ask the bureau to send me an explosion-proof suit?"

"No, trouble!" Ding Ermiao waved his hand and used the tip of his sword to open the buckle.

The buckle released and clicked.Ding Ermiao immediately turned to one side and pressed her back against the wall, just in case something unexpected happened.

But after the buckle was opened, there was nothing abnormal.The room was silent, and a needle could be heard.

Ding Ermiao still didn't dare to be careless. She slowly took a look, and then used the tip of her sword to sweep back and forth across the gaps in the sandalwood box.The tip of the sword penetrated with almost no resistance. It seemed that the box was easy to open.

"Open!" Ding Ermiao flipped his wrist, turned the blade, and opened the lid of the sandalwood box completely.

A beam of soft light overflowed from the sandalwood box, illuminating the dark room with a flow of light and shadow.

Ding Ermiao ducked aside and looked sideways at the hidden compartment and the sandalwood box.Apart from the light, there was nothing strange in the box.

There are no hidden weapons or traps.

Damn it, could it be that my analysis was not accurate and I was too careful?

Ding Ermiao smiled bitterly in her heart, walked to the opposite side of the secret compartment, and looked at the sandalwood box.

At the bottom of the box, there is a layer of yellow silk, and on the silk, there are two iron bladders the size of table tennis balls!

These iron galls are obviously the pair in the hands of the Taoist in the painting.

The Yingying brilliance just now was released from the iron gall.Because it emits light, the iron galls look more like a pair of luminous pearls.

"It should be okay, everyone, please relax." Ding Ermiao put away his caution, sheathed his sword, and called for everyone to come over and take a look.

Wang Haolan and others immediately gathered around and marveled at the pair of treasures in the box.

"Is this the Night Pearl? Darling, how much is this worth?" Ge Wenxu stuck out his tongue and said to himself.

Wang Haolan stared at Tiedan and said: "If it is the Night Pearl, it is worth a thousand pieces of gold to be so big. It's strange. The demons have all run away. Why are you leaving such a valuable thing here?"

Everyone gathered in front of the secret grid and discussed one after another, but there was no final result.

"Everyone, please step aside. I'll take out the iron gall and take a look." After everyone had seen it, Ding Ermiao asked everyone to step aside and prepared to take out the iron gall.

Everyone stepped aside slightly.

Ding Ermiao was worried that there was a mechanism at the bottom of the box, so she pressed her umbrella against the lid of the box, and then slowly reached down.

But no one expected that the moment Ding Ermiao's fingers touched the iron gall, the pair of iron eggs suddenly sank down and disappeared in a whoosh!
Only the bottom of the box was left, with two bottomless holes, staring at everyone like the eyes of a monster.
