The world in the painting.
This is the memory of "Gongsun Mo".
In a certain way, he recorded his memory in a "cannibal painting".
There is a cheating woman named "Xie Luohe" in the painting, who looks exactly like Feng Bei.
Zheng Xiu spread out a piece of yellowed rice paper in the superior room of the inn, took up his pen and wrote down the names one by one on the paper neatly.
"Gongsun Mo."
"Shelo River."
"Chu Chengfeng."
"Feng Bei."
"The richest man Zheng."
Zheng Xiu looked at the writing on the paper and nodded with satisfaction.
Be particular about it.
The thin lines between names are intertwined, forming a seemingly simple but mysterious network of relationships.
Looking at the relationship diagram, Zheng Xiu pondered for a long time, and finally drew a circle on the name "Xieluo River".
"Whether it's because she looks the same as Feng Bei or because she and Gongsun Mo are buried together, this person should be the key to solving the ghost mystery. "
"To decipher the cannibal paintings, we must start with Xie Luohe."
"You can't just deal with it based on past experience, otherwise it's easy to stumble here."
"Since it is Gongsun Mo's memory, the speed of time cannot be measured by common sense. But no matter what, I cannot take it lightly and cannot delay it for too long. I must leave here as soon as possible."
"The most critical thing right now is to find a way to get close to Xie Luohe and confirm whether Feng Bei is experiencing Gongsun Mo's memories from Xie Luohe's perspective, just like me."
"Wait a minute, is there a possibility..." Zheng Xiu touched his smooth chin and fell into deep thought: "This is the memory of the two of them?"
only.
Zheng Xiu thought about a lot, but there was only one thing that he couldn't figure out.
If you use the "ghost" theory to explain the current situation he and Feng Bei are in, it doesn't make sense.
The existence of ghosts is between the ordinary world and the eternal darkness. How did a painting painted by Gongsun Mo two hundred years ago create this strange "memory space".
He originally wanted to wait silently for the "National Master" Chu Chengfeng mentioned to arrive in Kangcheng, so he waited honestly for two days.
In the past two days, Zheng Xiu, as "Gongsun Mo", under the leadership of the kindhearted Chu Chengfeng, went back and forth between tea shops and inns, and saw a lot of interesting things in the world.
Zheng Xiu noticed that there was indeed a "government" in Kangcheng, but as long as no ordinary people were killed in battle, the government generally would not come forward.
Every time someone dies on the street, once the government confirms that it is a grudge due to a grudge in the martial arts world, they will ignore it and take the body away and be done with it.
It wasn't until the third day that Zheng Xiu finally couldn't sit still and decided to make some bold attempts to further explore this weird world.
For example, find a way to leave Cannes.
Or, self-harm.
He even did things that were obviously against Gongsun Mo's character, such as "visiting a brothel".
All failed.
The "forms" of failure come in all kinds of strange ways.
He tried every means to secretly leave Kangcheng, but he would always encounter a group of martial arts people fighting in a group. Gongsun Mo would get into all kinds of messy troubles, and then Chu Chengfeng would appear out of nowhere and "rescue" him from the sky.
Zheng Xiu tried to hang himself, but the brand new beam broke inexplicably.
He got bold and tried to wipe his throat. When he woke up, he found that he was drunk and even the iron sword he bought secretly was missing.
As for visiting the brothels, it’s even more bizarre. He just entered the brothel and skillfully selected a girl he liked. In the blink of an eye, his money bag disappeared and he was kicked out of the brothel.
Too much bullying.
Zheng Xiu, who couldn't even take a "one-day trip to a brothel", finally confirmed one thing.
In the inn, Zheng Xiu took out the paper full of words from his arms and solemnly wrote a line of words in the blank space.
"The will of the world? Gongsun Mo?"
Zheng Xiu sighed and put down the pen in his hand.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror
, looking at that fair and delicate face, quite helpless.
At this moment, Zheng Xiu couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration that he had nowhere to use his divine power.
He knew the weirdness here, knew his situation, and tried to change, but he could only use his own eyes to experience everything Gongsun Mo had, unable to make any changes.
Zheng Xiu murmured to himself at his reflection in the mirror: "Are you Gongsun Mo?"
"you are still alive?"
"What exactly do you want me to do?"
boom.
While Zheng Xiu was mumbling to himself, the door was violently kicked open. Zheng Xiu subconsciously covered his clothes.
It turned out that Chu Chengfeng broke in.
"Sorry, sorry! Brother Chu is reckless!"
As soon as Chu Chengfeng came in, he saw Gongsun's eyes widening, as if he were looking at a prodigal son, with a look of horror on his face, and he apologized repeatedly.
"Are you painting?"
As soon as Chu Chengfeng came in, he saw the papers spread out on the table and looked closely at them with curiosity on his face.
"Brother Chu misunderstood, I am writing a diary."
Zheng Xiu stood in front of Chu Chengfeng calmly and quickly folded the paper.
In a hurry, Chu Chengfeng vaguely saw the name "Xie Luohe" written on the paper, and wondered: "Brother Gongsun, what is... a diary?"
"Recently, I had tea with Brother Chu and chatted about the world. I had some hidden feelings and my heart was surging. I was afraid that I would forget it one day, so I wrote it down in a few words on paper, which I called a "diary." "
Chu Chengfeng suddenly realized: "It turns out that you scholars will write down your surging thoughts on paper!"
"Ahem, that's exactly it."
Zheng Xiu picked up the tea that had been cold on the table and took a sip.
"No wonder Xie Luohe's name is written on it!" Chu Chengfeng suddenly smiled, showing a tacit expression.
"puff!"
Zheng Xiu sprayed a mouthful of herbal tea all over Chu Chengfeng's face, dumbfounded.
"Brother Chu was just talking before," Chu Chengfeng saw Gongsun Mo's blushing face and he was squirting water in a panic. He wiped the tea from his face with one hand and said in shock: "Brother Gongsun, don't really take a fancy to that Xie Luohe. !」
"Brother Chu, why did you say this?"
Zheng Xiu asked.
"Do you know who Xie Luohe is? Yunhe Village in Shuzhou is full of bandits who kill without blinking an eye. There are three thousand bandits, and they are all savages who drink blood like hair! And Xie Luohe is the leader of Yunhe Village. Master! In addition to the weapons list, there is also a "Top Ten Villains List" in the martial arts world. Xie Luohe is the top of the list!"
The smile on Chu Chengfeng's face faded: "Three years ago, there were rumors that Xieluohe had set a rule. There was a beacon tower at the foot of Yunhe Village, which was three miles away from the mountain camp. If anyone wanted to marry her, Xieluohe would be Wife, you must light the beacon tower. As long as you can arrive at the Yunhe Village gate safely, no matter who lights the beacon, even pigs and dogs, you can spend the spring night with Xieluohe that night!"
When Zheng Xiu heard this, both Gongsun Mo and Zheng Xiu were shocked: "Isn't this reasonable? Is there anyone who can do it?"
"Yes? Yes!" Chu Chengfeng sneered: "She's all turned into withered bones! So, it's okay to look at her beauty. All men in the world are lustful. Chu understands. But you must not really miss her."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
Most people abide by this rule. That is, what happens in the martial arts world does not harm the people. Although you and my brother are walking together, if there is a fight, no one will make things difficult for you, a scholar, otherwise you will only lose face and be laughed at by the whole martial arts community. Having said that, you have to promise me that if you meet someone you know, you won't say more than you should, and don't ask more than you should. "
"That's natural." Zheng Xiu politely bowed his hands and frowned: "Brother Chu, are you thinking..."
Chu Chengfeng laughed and waved his hand: "How is that possible! Nie Gong's treasury is of great importance, do you really think anyone can monopolize it? Although I am ranked thirty-eight on the weapons list, it is just a false name. How could Chu Jin Jiliang knew what he was doing, so naturally he didn't fight over these things. It was not worth risking his life by fighting over and over again for the fat meat. But in the world of martial arts, one cannot hide behind and listen to the wind and rain. We were also shouting at the side, taking a few steps closer to see who was leaving and who was coming. Maybe we could meet old friends and have a few drinks. Wouldn’t it be nice? Of course, if we accidentally fished for some oil and water, that would be the best. alright."
Chu Chengfeng talked a lot in one breath. After saying that, he took Gongsun Mo out.
Zheng Xiu didn't know if Gongsun Mo understood it at that time, but Zheng Xiu understood it very clearly from the perspective of a bystander.
Everyone wanted the treasure house of Nie Gong, including Chu Chengfeng, but Chu Chengfeng was afraid that he would have to fight for his life and did not dare to act rashly. He planned to join in the fun here and fish in troubled waters. What if...it happened?
"You're an old fool."
Zheng Xiu sighed in his heart, this Chu Chengfeng seemed carefree and informal, but in fact he was very shrewd. That rough guy demeanor became Chu Chengfeng's best disguise.
It is estimated that most of the martial arts people gathered in Kangcheng today have the same thoughts as Chu Chengfeng.
The table in the corner of the second floor of the teahouse seemed to be Chu Chengfeng's exclusive seat. Chu Chengfeng took Zheng Xiu directly to the second floor and sat in his usual seat.
"Master Chu, are you still the third child?"
The waiter wiped the seat for Chu Chengfeng and asked numbly.
"You're like the third child!"
Rice wine, braised chicken, peanuts.
After asking casually, Zheng Xiu realized that Chu Chengfeng had secured this position. No wonder he sat at this table every day.
People were coming and going in Kangcheng today, and Zheng Xiu noticed that there were more sneaky martial arts people on the streets than usual.
This time there was no need for Chu Chengfeng to remind him. With Zheng Xiu's eyesight, he also found many hidden martial arts people.
This is like playing "Let's find fault". At first glance, it just looks out of place with the people around you.
The martial arts people were hiding in the market and seemed extremely silent, always paying attention to the movements on the streets.
Even the atmosphere in the tea shop is subtly different. Although the tea guests were still talking and bragging as before, Zheng Xiu vaguely sensed a depressing atmosphere.
Zheng Xiu suddenly remembered something.
The storm is about to come and the wind is filling the building.
"Eh! Not good!"
Chu Chengfeng, who was enjoying watching the excitement, suddenly frowned and stopped drinking.
Following Chu Chengfeng's gaze, Zheng Xiu looked downstairs and saw a tall man in green shirt with soft features and a sword on his back walking into the tea shop.
When this person first came in, Chu Chengfeng shouted "No".
"Do you know this person?" Zheng Xiu asked curiously.
"More than just acquaintance, Lihua Villa and Wenshi Mountain are closely related to Chu's family." Chu Chengfeng showed a rare bitter smile on his face, but he hesitated to speak.
The feminine man downstairs suddenly raised his head and looked towards the second floor. Chu Chengfeng's expression suddenly changed, he actually retracted his head and murmured: "You can't see me, you can't see me, you can't see me... …”
Huh?
Zheng Xiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded secretly.
There is a story.
"Sir, the second floor is full. Please come over here."
Just as the waiter was about to step forward to say hello, the effeminate man stretched out his right hand like lightning, grabbed the waiter's neck, and sneered: "Get out."
boom.
Throwing the waiter on the ground who turned pale with fright, the effeminate man walked straight towards
Coming from the second floor.
Wen Shishan walked up to the table of Zheng Xiu and Chu Chengfeng with his head held high. His eyes wandered between the two people, and finally stopped on Zheng Xiudao's face, and he looked at it for a long time with gritted teeth.
Ah this?
Looking down from the angle upstairs just now, Zheng Xiu only felt that this man's buttocks were a little raised.
Now that Wen Shishan was so close, Zheng Xiu first raised his head and glanced at the other party's fair neck, then looked at Wen Shishan's slightly exaggerated chest muscles, and cursed in his heart.
This Wen Shishan is a woman.
"Brother Chu..." Wen Shishan's eyes suddenly filled with mist, he clasped his hands behind his back and said in a trembling voice, "This is your... new love?"
"Fart!" Zheng Xiu jumped up from his seat. He was so frightened that he took a few steps back to the fence and almost fell from the second floor.
Zheng Xiu couldn't control this reaction for a moment, because it was the reaction in Gongsun Mo's memory.
Of course, if it were him, he would have retreated that far.
hiss……
Old thief Chu, you fucking deceived me so badly.
"My hero, you have misunderstood. I am Gongsun Mo..."
"Gongsun..."
The mist in Wen Shishan's eyes suddenly faded away, and as he stared at Zheng Xiu, his expression suddenly changed.
The girl who was pretending to be a woman looked pitiful just now, but in an instant she turned into shock and disbelief.
Chu Chengfeng suddenly said: "Young Master Wen, his surname is Gong, from the palace. We met by chance a few days ago, and we had a few sips together as soon as we hit it off. It's not a casual relationship, let alone... the relationship you think."
Zheng Xiu on the side nodded vigorously, innocently.
Without waiting for Wen Shishan's reaction, Chu Chengfeng sneered: "Besides, who do I, Chu Chengfeng, associate with, and what does it have to do with you? Don't forget the poisonous oath you swore in front of your father's spiritual tablet. Or should I say, you Do you want to fight to the death with me right here and now?"
"Very good! Very good! As expected of the third young master of Plum Blossom Villa, very good." Wen Shishan took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When he opened it again, it was already a completely calm place: "Excuse me."
Wen Shishan's shoulders shook when he left without looking back.
The commotion here is a bit loud, but the teahouse is extremely noisy, and the private tables on the second floor are far apart. If you don't eavesdrop intentionally, it is difficult to distinguish the cause and effect. After a moment of silence, the tea shop became lively again.
Chu Chengfeng let out a long sigh. Only then did he remember that Gongsun was next door. He glanced at Gongsun Mo who was standing next to the fence with complicated eyes as if he was about to jump down at any moment. There was a hint of helplessness on his face: "Brother Gongsun, listen to me. explain……"
"Brother Chu, don't say too much!" Zheng Xiu looked at Chu Chengfeng in fear: "Tell me first, are you as good as... Long Yang?"
"Ah?" Chu Chengfeng's eyes widened, then he shook his head vigorously, raised his head and drank all the rice wine in the jar, and said fiercely: "Chu can explain the cause clearly, it is definitely not what Gongsun thinks! If Gongsun doesn't believe it, , you can go to a brothel with me, Chu would rather have a debauched life, call some girls, and prove your innocence in front of brother Gongsun..."
wrong.
Zheng Xiu looked at the secretive Chu Chengfeng.
In his memory, Gongsun Mo did not understand the seriousness of the matter at this time.
What Zheng Xiu was thinking about at the moment was not Chu Chengfeng's sexual orientation.
But...
There is something wrong with Gongsun Mo himself!
Chu Chengfeng deliberately concealed Gongsun Mo's surname in front of Wen Shishan just now!
…
"I am Gongsun Mo, born in the southeast of Luzhou..."
"Come on...even though we met by chance, we felt like old friends at first sight..."
"You should stay in the inn peacefully these days to avoid losing your life. After all...swords have no eyes!"
"Is it a coincidence...or something else?"
…
Zheng Xiu suddenly felt dizzy.
The characters, scenes, and Chu Chengfeng's wry smile swayed left and right in front of his eyes.
When Zheng Xiu came to his senses again, he had sat back opposite Chu Chengfeng.
noodle.
Looking at Chu Chengfeng's helpless expression, his cheerful and free image of a knight-errant was like a peeling puzzle piece, crumbling bit by bit.
At this moment, Zheng Xiu had completely figured out something.
Chu Chengfeng had plans for Gongsun Mo.
