"I didn't expect that the famous Shanshui Old Man would actually set up a stall at the street corner?"
Ye Qing stood in front of the painting stall, looking at the shriveled old man in front of him with a smile.
That’s right, Old Man Yan is Old Man Shanshui, and Old Man Shanshui is Old Man Yan who makes a living by painting.
"I have never met the young hero either."
Old Man Yan, or Old Man Shan Shui, slowly straightened up. When he straightened up, although he was still thin and old, he was full of strength and oppression, and his aura was terrifying.
At this moment, he is not Old Man Yan, but Old Man Shanshui, the owner of the landscape painting workshop.
"I just came to Xudu City. It's normal for seniors to have never seen me before." Ye Qing cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry for bothering you, seniors?"
Old Man Shanshui looked at Ye Qing and said cautiously: "I wonder what the young hero has to do with me here?"
Ye Qing said: "Want to ask senior for a favor?"
Old Man Shanshui said, "I wonder what's going on?"
"A few of my friends were kidnapped by Yin carriages and brought to Xudu City, so I would like to ask my seniors to help find them."
Ye Qing smiled and said: "I know that Xudu City is very big and dangerous, and it is not easy to find people. So I have already contacted Taoist Hu and Lafayette, and they have agreed to help me."
"Next, I will go to Ziyun Mountain, Wutou Village, Diandianji and other places to visit Granny Philan, Wutou Empress, Rakshasa Ghost King and others one by one. I think they will not refuse me. With you, Waiting for help, I think it will be absolutely easy to find my friend."
"What do you think, senior?"
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
Old Man Shanshui smiled bitterly, yes, he is not qualified.
There is no word of killing in Ye Qing's words, but there is murderous intention in every word.
He knew very well who Hu Taoist and Lao Buddha were. It would be an exaggeration to call them beasts even if they were praised by murderous demons.
In fact, there were never any good people in a place like Xudu City, including him.
Would people like them be so kind as to help a complete stranger?
Obviously not.
Unless there are enough benefits, there is a life and death crisis, and life is in danger.
In fact, it is impossible to make people like Taoist Tiger and Lafayette obedient just by having interests. These people have always feared power rather than virtue, and do not have enough strength to trade and negotiate with them. Seeking death.
Therefore, only their lives are threatened, and only death can make them submit obediently.
And the person who put their lives in danger was undoubtedly the young man in front of them.
This is also true. Although Ye Qing's body does not reveal any tyrannical and terrifying aura, the more so, the more he feels that the other party is unfathomable.
This can be seen from the fact that the other party can enter the landscape painting studio quietly and find him easily.
He is the master of the landscape painting studio. Without his will, no one can enter the landscape painting studio, let alone quietly, without him noticing. Even if he can come in, it is impossible to find him among thousands of people.
However, the other party not only came in quietly, but also found him more accurately. Then, you can imagine how terrifying the other party's strength is. .
Therefore, from the moment the other party appeared in front of him, he no longer had the qualification to refuse.
Unless, he is not afraid of death!
Obviously, that is unrealistic. If he was not afraid of death, he would not live in the scroll.
"Haha, I knew senior would agree."
Ye Qing smiled and said: "I know that senior is a good person since he did not hesitate to waste his own energy and lifespan to build such a worldly picture and save others."
This was also the reason why he had great respect for the old man in front of him and did not resort to force as soon as he came up. For such a person, he was willing to give him some respect.
"A good person?" Old Man Shanshui smiled and laughed at himself: "I'm not a good person. In a place like Xudu City, there are no good people. I'm just trying to protect myself."
"This landscape painting studio can only be maintained by the life force of the mortal world. I brought these people into the landscape painting studio for their vitality and the earthly aura in them. In this way, the landscape painting studio can be maintained for a long time. , not to be polluted and destroyed by Xudu City."
"But in this case, not only will their life span be greatly shortened, but they will also be unable to leave the landscape painting studio throughout their lives. Although they are alive, it is no different from death."
"In this hell on earth, living like this is already a paradise on earth."
Ye Qing said honestly: "But, I think senior will be able to leave this hellish place soon."
"Well, what do you mean by this, young hero?" Old Man Shanshui was stunned.
Ye Qing smiled and said, "It means that as long as senior can help me find my friends, I can take senior out of here."
Old Man Shanshui stood up suddenly and exclaimed: "Young Master, are you serious about what you said?"
Ye Qing smiled and said: "There is absolutely no lie."
"Haha...hahaha..."
Hearing this, the old man Shan Shui laughed loudly, and the entire landscape painting studio trembled unconsciously. However, the bustling pedestrians in the painting studio were as if they were unaware and continued to do their own thing.
"As long as the young hero can lead me out of Xudu City, I will never forget this kindness."
Old Man Shan Shui bowed his hand to Ye Qing.
"No need for this."
Ye Qing stretched out his hand and said, "Senior, I can't thank you enough for agreeing to help. I just ask that you can do your best to help me find my friends."
"I will do my best."
Old Man Shanshui promised: "By the way, I just heard that the young hero is going to find Granny Pilan and the Headless Empress. I happen to have an old relationship with them. As long as the young hero agrees to take them away together when the matter is completed, I have a 90% chance." Be sure to convince them to help you."
"That's very good, then there are seniors." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"Hahaha... As it should be, no need to be polite."
Old Man Shanshui smiled, stretched out his hand, and saw the sky, earth, and buildings in the distance undulating, and then saw one side suddenly bulging, bending, and rolling together.
Finally, the entire landscape painting workshop turned into a scroll and fell into the hands of the old man Shan Shui.
The old man Shan Shui held the scroll and bowed to Ye Qing: "Without further delay, I will go first."
"Then I will wait for the good news from senior." Ye Qing returned the greeting.
"It will definitely live up to your expectations."
After persuading Old Man Shanshui, Ye Qing struck while the iron was hot and had a cordial and friendly meeting with the Headless Lady from the Headless Village, the Rakshasa Ghost King from the Upside Down Collection, the Mouse Master from the Bottomless Pit, Aunt Bai from the Green Bamboo Forest, and Tie Maitreya from the Maitreya Building. The conversation went smoothly and the atmosphere was harmonious. With Ye Qing's intimidation and temptation with a big stick in one hand and honey in the other, the two sides basically reached a consensus and achieved win-win cooperation.
Of course, this is not without dangers or twists and turns, and there are also people who do not know what is good or bad.
