That night, neither the front nor the back door of the Tang Mansion was opened, and there was no sign of the courtyard wall being turned over. Tang Yuan's lamp fell into the room, and the characters appeared in the painting. All clues seemed to point to...
A living person was transformed into a painting?
This is really weird.
It's not unusual to say that it's about absorbing souls into paintings. If there are any ghosts and ghosts in the paintings, it can be done. But if it is taken in with the physical body, there must be space.
Even if this painting is a storage artifact, it cannot carry living things... Most likely, there is another small world in it, which is similar to a secret realm.
"Commissioner Tang, can you tell us the origin of this scroll in detail?" Jiang Yuebai said.
"Okay." Tang Song said: "This is the famous painting "Ladies in the Eastern Suburbs" by Lin Bingzhu, a famous court painter from the previous dynasty. It depicts the scene of ladies going on an outing in the previous dynasty. It is a relatively famous ancient painting. I am I bought it from Mr. Su, the chief official of Wu'an City, and paid a lot of money. Who knew it would lead to such a mystery."
"Since it is a famous painting, many people should have owned it before." Chu Liang pondered: "Have you ever heard of such a thing happening?"
"Definitely not." Karamatsu shook his head.
"If there is nothing wrong with the painting itself, then something happened later that caused it to go wrong." Jiang Yuebai lowered his eyes and thought, arranging his logic clearly.
"If it is attached to the painting and attracts people's soul, it must be the work of ghosts. But it is really strange that it disappears with the physical body. We may still need to investigate to find out." Chu Liang said.
"Don't damage the scroll itself, otherwise it may hurt Young Master Tang. Either use the method of Qiankun Dao to untie it, or... try it again."
"I'll give it a try tonight," Chu Liang said.
"Huh?" Karamatsu made a confused voice from the side.
After the pair of young geniuses started thinking, they seemed to suddenly enter another level. They seemed to be talking to themselves. How could they still talk to each other?
try what?
If you are a Shushan disciple who attended Jiang Yuebai’s last lecture, you should feel familiar.
"Tang Yuan, please be patient. It's getting late anyway. You can hang the scroll back to its original place later. I'll take a look there tonight. If there is a ghost that harms people, it won't appear just once." If it fails tonight, then we will take the scroll back to Shushan tomorrow and ask the seniors to try to open it." Chu Liang said.
"Okay..." Tang Song finally understood and nodded repeatedly: "Everything is as you two said."
Jiang Yuebai raised his eyes and looked at Chu Liang: "Why are you going? I am the chief, so I should be the one to investigate."
"What if it's a ghost that only seduces men?" Chu Liang said with a smile.
Jiang Yuebai pouted and whispered, "Look at the expectant look on your face."
…
That night, Chu Liang came to the collection room of Tang Mansion.
He held a candle and quietly walked around the place, looking at Karamatsu's valuable collections.
There was still the picture of a lady hanging in the center of the wall, but there was no sound at all. But he was not in a hurry, and just waited patiently.
Outside the room, Jiang Yuebai was in another courtyard, and his consciousness had been tightly locked here. But if there is any disturbance, you can rush over immediately.
With their current abilities, they have already been able to take charge of themselves, and it is no problem to deal with the troubles caused by some ghosts.
Until it was dark.
Suddenly there was a gust of cool wind, and Chu Liang was keenly aware of the emergence of a yin energy. He immediately turned his attention to the pictures of ladies on the wall.
But there seems to be no change above.
But he immediately turned around.
At the door behind him, there was indeed a touch of bright red clothes.
But seeing the graceful and charming figure of the woman in red, leaning against the door, she said in a soft voice: "It's late at night, sir, would you like to find a place to rest?"
He is indeed a crooked ghost.
Chu Liang looked at the sexy ghost and said with a smile: "Of course it's good. Is this girl's home?"
The glamorous ghost in red approached slowly, "Yes, I'll take you to my house right now..."
Chu Liang used his spiritual consciousness to detect the aura of the female ghost and knew that she was not a good person, so he did not dare to test it with the demon-lighting brick. With his current hand strength, he might be able to smash it to death with just one brick.
Then my mind changed and I thought it would be okay to go with her.
"Then I'll bother you, girl." He nodded.
While he was talking, the woman in red came closer and took his hand. Chu Liang quickly pulled it out.
"Just lead the way, girl, don't do this..." Chu Liang said cowardly.
"Look at your shy look, and no one is watching. What are you afraid of?" The pretty ghost in red chuckled.
"Who said no one is watching..." Chu Liang muttered in a low voice and pointed at the pictures of ladies on the wall, "Aren't they just watching?"
"Then I will take you to meet them."
The glamorous ghost in red flicked her long sleeves, and suddenly the picture of the lady seemed to flow, the river, the shade of the trees, the woman by the river...
The glamorous ghost in red grabbed Chu Liang, and then a streak of brilliance merged into it.
Chu Liang felt as if he was in a trance, and his body came to another world.
Is it really a secret place?
But here, the sky is high, the clouds are clear, the willows are bright, and it is a warm spring scenery. Women in twos and threes were having fun by the river. When they saw the pretty ghost in red leading Chu Liang in, they all burst out laughing again: "Another handsome young man has come in."
"Again?" Chu Liang heard this and asked, "Has anyone else been here before me?"
The woman in red suddenly got into his arms and said close to him: "What? Are you here to find that person?"
Chu Liang quickly retreated, and then said: "Yes, miss, does she know where he is?"
"He is probably happy somewhere, right?" The pretty ghost in red looked around and suddenly raised his hand, "Ah, there he is."
Chu Liang's sight also caught sight of a thin young man and a woman in green clothes walking out of an attic in the distance. The young man's steps were frivolous, but his face was full of smiles.
It was Tang Yuan.
Chu Liang immediately came over, cupped his hands and said, "Is this Tang Yu'an, Brother Tang?"
"I am, who is your brother?" Tang Yu'an smiled and looked at Chu Liang.
"I was asked by your father to come back to you." Chu Liang said.
"My father?" Tang Yu'an was startled when he heard this, "I have only been in for a moment, but he has already discovered it?"
"Brother Tang, you disappeared last night. It's been a day and a night now." Chu Liang said.
"This..." Tang Yu'an was shocked: "What's going on?"
"Sir, time here is different from outside." The woman in green clothes next to her reminded, "One day inside the painting, one year outside the painting."
"ah?"
Not only Tang Yu'an was surprised, but Chu Liang was also a little surprised. This was actually a secret realm where one could change the flow of time?
That is a valuable treasure.
"I must be so happy here that I forgot to go out. It's a sin." Tang Yu'an shook his head.
Chu Liang wondered: "But Brother Tang, you look very frightened from the outside."
Tang Yuan shook his head and smiled: "I was just a little scared when I first came in, but Xiaocui and the others quickly dispelled my fear."
Chu Liang looked at the smile on his face and thought that the dismissal was quite thorough.
etc……
If Tang Yuan's frightened expression would freeze for so long when he first came in, would it be...
Just when he secretly said something bad, the women gathered around him again, "Master, since you are here to save him, you must be a practitioner, right?"
So they knew?
Chu Liang saw that these women were different from ordinary ghosts, so he said truthfully: "I am a disciple of Shushan Sect, Chu Liang."
Immediately, several people were seen kneeling to the ground, "Please sir, seek justice for us!"
…
Offscreen.
Jiang Yuebai also came to the collection room, and just now she felt the aura of the female ghost. It's just that the female ghost's cultivation level is not high, so she didn't take action. Seeing Chu Liang confidently following the female ghost into the secret realm in the painting, she naturally understood Chu Liang's approach.
At this moment, his eyes fell on the painting, and he saw that the scene in the painting had changed again.
Karamatsu no longer looked frightened, but instead smiled and played hand in hand with the lady in the painting.
And Chu Liang's figure is on the other side of the river, with a woman in red close to his arms...
Jiang Yuebai's brows gradually furrowed: "Eh?"
Good morning.
Yesterday, I suddenly felt pain in the joint of my left middle finger. I was afraid to straighten it. It also hurt when I typed. I don’t know what happened. I seem to feel better after a good night's sleep. I hope it will be fine later, but it won't be inflammation.
