Lu Pingchuan was probably the happiest person to come to Ruixuan Town. Along the way, he kept talking about how good the food at Songfenglou was, etc. When he talked about where to go, he didn’t go to Zhaixinglou. The drinks are average, but the food is much worse, so you must go to Song Feng Lou Yunyun.
In this way, after more than half a day, the five people came to Ruixuan Town again.
It’s still early before dark, so naturally I want to take a stroll here.
What Qian Chao wanted to do was to go to the Yiming Pavilion immediately to see if the tea shop owner was back, but Tang Ping had long suspected that the tea shop owner Qian Chao wanted to see was the Mozu from Yuhu Mountain. She was a mysterious old friend, so when Qian Chao said he wanted to go to Yiming Pavilion, she took Yanxuan, Lu Pingchuan and Li Jian to the lively place where casual cultivators sell things, leaving Qian Chao alone. Chao goes there alone.
After agreeing to bring a can of good tea to Li Jian, Qian Chao walked away to Xiang Yiming Hall alone.
"Old sir."
As soon as he entered Yiming Hall, Qian Chao saluted the old man who was sitting there relaxing.
"Haha, little brother, it's you again."
The old shopkeeper still smiled after picking up the money.
"Old sir, may I ask if your boss is back?"
"Hey, hehe, what a coincidence. My boss came back once a few days ago, but then a friend came to visit, so he took him out again. I don't know where he went."
"That's it." Qian Chao was very disappointed, and he didn't meet him. "That's really a pity."
"Hey, my boss loves to play chess. This time I met a chess friend. Usually we have to hang out for many days. However, the last time my boss came back, I told him that you understood the painting. , my boss was also very curious after hearing this, and said that he didn’t expect that this little brother of yours had such knowledge. It was really rare. Therefore, before he went out, he made another painting. Hey, it is still hanging there. He said that it was Please taste it again, well, the rules are still the same as last time, my boss said that if my little brother can understand, this painting will be given to you."
"oh!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Chao turned around and looked, and sure enough, a new painting was hung in the place where the last painting was hung.
But this time it was very different from the last time.
The last time was a "cold fishing picture", in which the mountains were cold, the water was cold, the sun was shining, and an old man was fishing alone by the river, creating a lonely mood.
But this time the painting was completely opposite. Not only was the size of the painting much larger, but the content of the painting made Qian Chao somewhat confused.
The painting is full of flowers. Flowers of various colors and sizes are vying for beauty, some are in full bloom or in bud, some are elegant or shy, and they fill the whole picture. Different from the last ink painting, the owner's use of colors this time can be considered hearty and vivid, with colorful and colorful colors, but the use is too rich, and it is almost gaudy in Qian Chao's opinion. This puzzled him. How could a person who could draw "Han Diao Picture" paint like this? Such a painting was actually nothing. Qian Chao asked himself that he could also draw such a painting. It was just too much. It's just that he doesn't like the beauty.
But Qian Chao immediately rejected his idea. A person who can almost seamlessly integrate the five elements of runes into the "Cold Fishing Picture" must have deep meaning in such a painting.
Seeing Qian Chao staring at the paintings on the wall without saying a word, the old shopkeeper said with a smile:
"Isn't this painting different?"
"Yeah, it's very different from the last one."
"Well, don't worry, little brother, take your time and look at it. If you see anything, just tell me."
After saying that, the old shopkeeper sat on the chair, sipping tea and watching the money flow.
According to Qian Chao's thoughts, he also wanted to see some hidden runes from the painting in front of him like the last time. However, after looking at it for a long time, he could see almost one flower after another, including every green leaf. Every section of flower branch was not missed, but the result was... This is just an ordinary picture of blooming flowers.
Could it be that he is hiding it deeply and is not discerning enough?
Qian Chao glanced back at the old shopkeeper, who nodded to him with a smile.
There must be an article in this painting!
Qian Chao was unconvinced and looked closer. He even began to carefully study the brushstrokes of every flower and bud in the painting, trying to discern some mystery from it.
The result still disappointed him. The owner of the painting must be a master of painting, and his skills in painting must be better than Qian Tong, but this is definitely not what the old shopkeeper wants to hear.
What exactly is it?
Later, Qian Chao was not polite at all, turned around and moved a chair from the old man's side, sat in front of the painting and stared blankly.
Seeing Qian Chao's behavior, the old shopkeeper said with a smile:
"My boss said that this painting is a bit complicated and it is not easy to understand. But he also said that if the little brother can't understand it at first, don't worry. When will you figure it out? It will be the same when we come back."
Qian Chao could only nod at this, but refused to leave, keeping his eyes fixed on the painting.
In this way, while chatting with the old shopkeeper here and there, and studying the painting, time passed slowly, and before I knew it, an hour passed.
In the end, the old shopkeeper had nothing to talk about, Qian Chao just stared at the painting quietly, and there was no sound in Yiming Museum.
Just when the old shopkeeper was a little disappointed and was thinking about what to say to send Qian Chao away, Qian Chao suddenly jumped up from his chair, walked to the painting, and stretched out a hand and kept saying Stroke up and down.
The old shopkeeper became more energetic after seeing this and asked:
"What, little brother, did you see something?"
After he finished speaking, he found that Qian Chao's hand stroking back and forth was trembling.
Qian Chao turned around with an expression of excitement and disbelief on his face, saluted the old shopkeeper, and then said:
"Your boss is really an expert. It took a lot of effort for me to see something. I don't know if it's right or not."
"Oh? Come and listen."
"This painting is obviously about flowers in full bloom, implying wealth and honor, but in fact..." Qian Chao looked at the old shopkeeper with special attention, "The painting is from the Five Spirits Sect. I don't know if I am right?"
"Haha..." The old shopkeeper laughed, "Little brother, you are right, come on..."
The old shopkeeper said that and walked to the wall, took down the painting, rolled it into a scroll and handed it to Qian Chao.
"According to my boss's words, since my little brother understands it, this painting belongs to you. However, my boss said that if you also understand this painting, he asked me to ask my little brother's surname. "
"Don't dare, there is a tide of money, money, money, tide of money."
"Well, it's a good name. If metal can generate water, it will definitely go well with you."
"It's just a pity that I couldn't see that gentleman again."
"Don't be in a hurry. What's the rush? We will always meet you if we are destined."
Then Qian Chao stopped staying for a long time and spent some spiritual stones to buy two cans of spiritual tea before leaving.
Qian Chao, who walked out of Yiming House, concluded that the teahouse owner who painted must be an unusual person.
Looking at the "Han Diao Picture" for the first time, Qian Chao saw the Five Elements runes and figured out some of the principles of the evolution of the runes, which was extremely valuable to him.
The second time, the "Blooming Flowers" troubled him for a while. He initially thought that there were still runes inside, but after looking at it for a long time, he couldn't see any clues. He also suspected that this was the boss who was talking to him. He was joking, trying to fool himself, and at one point he even thought that was it. But... I would like to thank senior Tang Bonian here. If he hadn't given Qian Chao a map book a few days ago, Qian Chao still wouldn't have been able to unlock the secret of the "Blooming Flowers" map. In Tang Bonian In his map book, only a few major spiritual veins that he knew were drawn on the map. And Qian Chao stared at the "Blooming Flowers" picture for a long time. When he couldn't see anything, he simply started to think wildly. There was a flower in the middle of the picture that was the largest and most blooming. Qian Chao thought at that time. He thought, if this flower is regarded as the position of the Five Spirits Sect... It was just a random thought at first, but then his eyes fell on the branches near the flower...
The flower branches in this painting are usually hidden behind the flowers, and are only revealed in the gaps between the flowers. But when Qian Chao turned his attention to those inconspicuous flower branches, his heart suddenly jumped a few times!
If the flower that blooms the brightest and has the most ink by the author is really regarded as the Wulingzong, then...the inconspicuous flower branches around the flower are actually the same as those depicted in the map book Tang Bonian gave him. The main spiritual veins correspond to each other, and they are almost a perfect match!
Wuling Sect is a place where spiritual veins gather. He knew this when he first entered the sect. If the place where spiritual veins gather was seen as a flower... Qian Chao suppressed the excitement in his heart at that time. There are only two places where Zhi's spiritual veins gather. Apart from the Five Spirit Sect, there is only one Little Lotus Lake!
The "flowers in bloom" picture in front of him overlapped with the map in his mind. At the location of Little Lotus Lake, Qian Chao found a small flower, and it was one that had already bloomed and was about to wither. Although there are also There is a bit of color, but it is inconspicuous in the whole painting. This also corresponds to the legend of Little Lotus Lake!
It is precisely because of this that Qian Chao finally determined that what the "Blooming Flowers" picture really depicts is the direction of the spiritual veins and the gathering places of the spiritual veins in the entire Five Spirit Sect!
Precisely because of this, Qian Chao was sure that the owner of the Yiming Pavilion must be an extraordinary person. Firstly, he was proficient in runes, and secondly, he was at least familiar with the trends in the spiritual veins of the Five Spirit Sect. Such a person actually lived in seclusion in Rui. Selling tea in Xuan Town!
From this, Qian Chao had a strong desire to meet this boss. He must have benefited a lot from talking with him.
However, Qian Chao also guessed that it would still be difficult to meet the owner, and he might not be able to meet him next time. If seeing the "Han Diao Tu" for the first time was a surprise for both parties, then this time The "Blooming Flowers" picture clearly shows that the owner is testing himself.
I just don’t know what the next test will be.
Qian Chao is looking forward to it!
