From the inexplicable excitement at the beginning, to gradually calming down, and then connecting all the things I had seen before, I made some reasonable guesses.
Li Fan has combined many clues to vaguely see through the causes and consequences of this matter.
However, there are still many details that need to be verified, and some other clues are also confusing, and it is not easy to fully understand them at the moment.
He decided not to expose it for the time being, but followed the request of the controlled demon (phantom puppet) and began to copy the ancient paintings hanging on the wall in front of him.
Li Fan once again showed off Xiao Qingyi's right arm. When the snow-white jade hand danced, it was as if he was possessed by a fairy in the painting, bringing him extraordinary and holy skills.
However, Li Fan's eyes never left the ancient painting hanging in front of him.
As the copy painting took shape, the skeleton on it seemed to grin, and the empty skull eye sockets seemed to turn around.
Li Ao could clearly see that an invisible and strange force was like gray mist, slowly floating out from the ancient painting, and it turned out to be the puppet handle in the hands of the big skeleton man.
The silk threads attached to it seemed to contain the treacherous elements necessary to control the illusion puppet, and they slowly climbed to Huang Hanlin next to him.
Without any warning, Li Fan suddenly threw down his pen and drew his sword. Under the control of his mother's arm, the Tang Hengdao, an exotic treasure, emitted a breathtaking cold light. It fell with the force of cutting gold and iron, and cut it in two without any suspense. .
"Uh...uh uh..."
The phantom puppet wearing the skin of Huang Ying's ancestor looked shocked and fell to the ground.
But Li Fan looked at the ground, then turned to look at the ancient paintings, but did not move.
He just used his eyes to signal Huang Ying to come and hide, and said calmly: "Stop pretending, I know that thing can still move, and this single blow is not enough to kill it completely.
Moreover, you can make as many puppets as you want without any effort at all, right? "
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
An unusual sound of exclamation came from the ancient painting.
In Huang Ying's shocked eyes, in "Skeleton Fantasy Picture", the big skeleton suddenly moved its upper and lower jaws and spoke loudly.
"How do you know that I'm out in disguise and my real body is hidden here?"
"It's not hard to guess that such a painting hangs here, isn't it?"
"……Right."
The big skeleton man seemed to think for a moment, and there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.
“A few decades ago, strange things were still new, and everyone respected ghosts and gods and stayed away from them, without even thinking of exploring the nature and laws behind them.
But today, decades later, the level of strangers who come to explore in batches is getting higher and higher, and they are getting more and more difficult to deal with.
Even I feel helpless sometimes. I really don’t know what will happen if this continues. "
Li Chuan secretly smiled in his heart. You said that just a few days in the cave means a thousand years in the world.
If we practiced in seclusion in the Middle Ages and practiced until the 25th or 30th century, people might come with mechas or Star Destroyers to attack.
He could somewhat feel the emotion of the big skeleton man.
However, random speculation is not necessarily useful in strange events.
If you see someone in a painting, you must be hiding someone. If you see a mirror, you will be suspicious. If you see a statue, you should open it and take a look, right?
What is really worth relying on is the sharp weapon that has always been able to detect the weird and see through the essence.
It is through its observation that the source and essence of the strangeness can be seen, and it can appear so calm and comfortable.
His eyes fell on the big skeleton man. Li Ao carefully distinguished the strange essence revealed in it, and gradually saw clearly the new handwriting displayed in it.
Stranger (Huang Yuan) (Skeleton Man)
"Should I call you Huang Lao Hanlin, the layman of Taoshan, or the master of Huanxi Villa?"
Li Fan guessed at the other party's state at the moment while making probing words.
"I have been an official for many years, and after I became an official, I became a local squire. You, a little kid, don't have to work around the house or test your words.
Tell me, this time, is it because the little emperor is unwilling to give up and sends you here to search for rare treasures again, or is it something else?
Don't doubt why I can tell. The smell of someone from the imperial court can be smelled from miles away. Although I'm not too familiar with the military attache, I can tell that you must come from a distinguished family. , young and in a high position. "
"He's testing me..."
Li Fan did not panic because some of his secrets were exposed, because he understood that the other party could not be omniscient and omnipotent.
Huh, so what if he is an old fox who has been an official for many years. Compared with the insight he can gain from seeing the true Dharma, it is still far behind!
“I’m not here for anything, just out of curiosity.
I would like to ask Senior Hanlin, have you successfully achieved immortality in your current state?
The Bone Man needs to be in the Strange Realm (Fantasy Villa) to gain eternal life. You seem to have done it, but you are sealed in this painting. Is it possible that you want us to copy the painting because you hope to find a way out of it, or even How to leave the villa and be free? "
At the beginning, Huang Yuan, the alien who looked like a big skeleton, was still there. Although there was no flesh on his face, he still showed a very vivid "you can just say it, I will watch your performance" appearance.
But the more I listened, the more something felt wrong.
How does this person know about immortality, transfer of paintings, and his desire to escape from trouble?
Perhaps the development of the times will make some things that were difficult to guess in the past become common sense. For example, if you watch too many dramas about talented people and beautiful women, whenever you see a beautiful, charming, well-educated official lady, it will most likely be the heroine, a dandy. Those whose sons are stubborn and unruly are most likely the sons of prime ministers and high-ranking officials, and are considered villains.
Have all these things become common sense outside?
Yes, the era of weird resurgence has passed. Now it seems that the second weird resurgence has arrived. Various and endless strange things have been recorded.
Today's descendants of foreigners are indeed no longer as ignorant as they used to be, and they have to figure out everything from scratch!
Huang Yuan really felt more and more chilled the more he listened, and he felt an inexplicable feeling of sadness in my heart.
"You actually know all this..."
At the thought, Huang Yuan couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and said to Li Fan with an inexplicable solemn tone: "That's right, I...succeeded in immortality!
But as you can see, I’m trapped inside this painting too!
This is a big joke and a terrible trap!
At that time, I already had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but in my greed for profit, I was still willing to throw myself into the trap...
Hehe, hehehe... In the end, he is just a pawn who is willing to throw stones and ask for directions for others.
It's a shame that throughout my life of officialdom and ups and downs, I still can't see through it and can't understand it. I'm just a poor puppet in other people's hands and being manipulated by others! Ha ha ha ha……"
