Painter

Chapter 193 42: Supplements
The double-shaft carriage drove away from Guangzhaifang with a burst of crisp bells.Li Chan walked towards the door, and the copper lock on the door blinked and slid open by itself. He pushed the door open, took "The Story of Zhitian", and said to the name on the book cover: "There is no need to hide here, come out." .”

The word "Xie Zhitian" moved on the paper for a moment, then gradually faded away, and the old man in sackcloth also appeared on the stone steps, his figure looming like a cloud of smoke.He looked at the snow in the garden and sighed sadly, left Lantai, and passed through dozens of lanes, the carriage was engraved with talismans and was not bumpy, but there was a piece of emptiness in his heart.

Li Chan closed the door behind her back, and when she heard Mai Wang's sigh, she looked sideways and said, "The old man also got a way out from a dead end, why is he still sighing?"

Mai Wangran said: "Although Lantai is a dead place to me, it is also like water to fish, and fish comes from water..."

Li Chan smiled, "I rode a whale around the world in that book, and the whale salamander came out of the water and turned into a bird, and the world became wider instead." He walked into the garden.

Mai Wang was startled, looking at the back in the green robe, thinking, the truth in the book came to him, but he couldn't understand it.He put away his sense of loss, followed up, and recalled the scene not long ago, in the thatched hut on Baidou Mountain, the man saw the blue and blue in his eyes, and then broke the illusion in the book, and lost his mind, and fell into chaos In the middle, when he woke up, he had already left Lantai.

This supernatural power is really amazing, I don't know what kind of mystery he is talking about in the painting world?
……

In the chess pavilion with knotted wisteria, Pea is teaching Xu Da and Hongyao to play music.

The so-called play score is to re-arrange the chess record, which is the way to learn chess.However, on the chessboard in this pavilion, the nineteenth and nineteenth lanes are full of chess pieces, which are firmly embedded in the stone table and cannot be moved. Calligraphy reports the chess position.

This way of playing scores is a test of memorability, Hong Yao gave a clear and accurate report, just after reporting a "Tianwang" chess position, Xu Da accepted a "Xingfang" chess position, and when Hong Yao answered the next chess position, Xu Da shouted : "It's boring, it's boring, but Hege is interesting!"

Hong Yao said angrily: "If you don't care anymore, I won't play chess with you anymore. Hege is interesting, but it can't stop you from cheating."

Xu Da's eyes widened, "Goddesses must be reasonable in their words, and they must not slander good people for no reason!"

Hong Yao said: "Do you dare to say this to Mr. Bi?"

"We can sit upright, why not?" Xu Da quietly glanced at Mr. Bi, then shook his head and sighed: "However, Hege is indeed a little shallow, but the way of Xuansu is fascinating."

Hong Yao snorted, "Then what's your next move?"

"Of course we remember the next move clearly, of course we remember clearly..." Xu Da scratched his head twice, hesitating, looked up suddenly, overjoyed, and shouted: "A Lang? A Lang is back!" and rushed out of the chess pavilion.

"Hey!" Hong Yao only said that Xu Da escaped with an excuse, and called out, followed its direction, and saw Li Chan leading an old man in sackcloth through the dry pond.Today Li Chan went to Lantai to collect demons. Although Hong Yao trusted his ability, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, the water in Yujing was much deeper than Xuandu.

Not only did a white cat and a girl in red jump out of the chess pavilion, but two yaksha heads flew out of the kitchen, and behind the yaksha head was a colorful rooster...

A group of monsters appeared, and Mai Wang, who was following behind Li Chan, twitched his eyebrows and was stunned for a while.According to his duties, this Gyeonggi Youyi Envoy should be a character who slays demons and eliminates demons. Why is there a nest of monsters hidden in the house?Glancing at the young man in green robe, he thought again, wasn't he the one who saved his life by this gentleman?

"Welcome A-Lang, welcome A-Lang!" Xu Da rubbed Li Chan's trousers, flicked his tail, and raised his head to check his pulse. "Hey, this old man is really a fairy, with an extraordinary bearing. I don't know what to call him?"

Xie Zhitian's little obsession, with his posthumous works included in Dayong's collection, accumulated for decades and became a monster. Although he was accompanied by hundreds of millions of words, he had never dealt with other monsters.He lowered his head and saw snowflakes sticking to the cat's fur and trembling with the wind, and turning his head to see the monsters in the chess pavilion, under the eaves, and between the windows. He couldn't help thinking that even if the words in the book can be transformed into illusions, there are no real living things. Smart?
There is a world in the book, and the world under your eyes and feet is not a book without words?

"Hey, why did this old man keep silent?" Mai Wang pondered, but Xu Da thought that there was another mute, and while following Li Chan's footsteps to the main house, he said, "It doesn't matter if you can't speak, we here There is also a mute, crow thousand years old! Where is the crow thousand years?" He looked around.

Mai Wang heaved a sigh of relief, he was still very disappointed at first, but now his thoughts became clearer, and he said: "The old man is a silverfish in Lantai. The Immortal Eater became Pulse Wang, just call me Pulse Wang."

Xu Da thought to himself, since this old man is A Lang's new monster, the name Mai Wang doesn't sound bluffing enough, so he has to think about a title.After pondering for a while, his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Since you are a bookworm who has become a master, you must be well-educated. Although we are not talented, we can also know some characters, some pen and ink, and some pen and ink. Bookish literati call themselves Bookworm Poet Demons, so you should be called Book Demons!"

Not far away, Huohuo General praised the title given by Mr. Xue Shi'er.The white cat couldn't help shaking its white hair, very proud.

Hearing what the white cat said, Mai Wang had already included himself under the command of the Gyeonggi Youyi Envoy, but he just laughed and didn't respond.

At this time, Li Chan walked in front, responded to the greetings of the monsters, looked at the chess pavilion, and called Mr. Bi.

The man in white deep clothes in the chess pavilion nodded to Li Chan, then looked at Maiwang, and said, "It's really rare that a silverfish has become a spirit. If we can go further and read hundreds of millions of words alive, maybe Can make some climate."

Mai Wangwenyan frowned slightly, he is a monster in the book, although he dare not claim to be the most knowledgeable in the world, but when it comes to understanding the words in the book, apart from the book god Chang En, how many people in the world Can one discuss with him?Not to mention corrections.He chuckled: "In my humble opinion, how could it be considered that I have read the text vividly?"

Mr. Bi smiled slightly, "How to read the characters vividly? This is the scholar's own business, and outsiders can't explain it in words, but since you are destined to come here, I will give you a word." Then, he raised his finger to draw in the sky, The horizontal fold point is vertical, and the word "book" is written.

This word was not written with pen and ink. When the word was completed, Pulse Wang's originally ethereal figure suddenly condensed and became more real.Silverfish, who was still dissatisfied, was stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses, and bowed deeply to the pavilion.

"Thank you for your advice."

Mr. Bi smiled and waved his hand, "Go."

Mai Wang suppressed his doubts and admiration, but Xu Da jumped into the chess pavilion and shouted: "Mr. Bi is so kind, we have been friends with Mr. Bi for so many years, how can we call a newcomer and refuse to teach us?"

Hong Yao retorted: "Just now I taught you how to play chess, and I don't know who is unwilling to learn it?"

Li Chan walked past the chess pavilion with Mai Wang, and Mai Wang lowered his voice, and asked, "Li Youyi, forgive me for being abrupt, that gentleman in white...what's his background?"

"Bi Junpei." Li Chan went under the eaves and brushed off the snow from her shoulders.

Mai Wang pondered deeply, he had seen the names of the four demons of the study in the book, but all the old pens were called Pea, and the man in white was unpredictable, and he seemed to be more than a step above the book god Chang En, could it be When the fairy was writing, he accidentally threw the pen and fell into the mortal world?
The two passed by the firewood room, and in the window, Tu Shanxi ground the inside of the stone mortar, poured it on paper and wrapped it up, picked up the mirror grinding box, and when he saw Li Chan, he called A Lang.

Li Chan asked casually, "Going?"

Tu Shanxi nodded and hummed, "I have earned more than [-] taels in the past half month, and I put them in the crock under Alang's bed."

Li Chan was taken aback, then stopped, "Where did you get so much money?"

Tu Shanxi's eyes flashed, "The mirror grinders in Yujing City are less skilled than those in Qingqiu."

Li Chan sized up Tu Shanshi, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "You don't use any... the method of seductiveness?"

Tu Shanxi raised her eyebrows that were long and narrow like a knife, and looked at Li Chan. This confidence made Li Chan who asked the question a little embarrassed, and smiled: "It's fine if you don't."

Tu Shanxi couldn't hold back Bai Lichan's glance, and curled her lips, "Don't worry, Ah Lang, I'm sensible."

Li Chan nodded and stopped asking.

Tu Shanxi picked up the cover and left, while Li Chan brought Mai Wang into the study.

Glancing at the faintly visible body, spread the paper and dipped it in ink, wrote the word tea, and said: "I don't have as many good characters in Lantai, so I can only treat each other with rough tea."

"Where is it, Lang Jun's characters are considered excellent among the hundreds of millions of characters in Lantai." Mai Wang sincerely praised.

The word tea was lifted out of the paper, and in his hands, it became a cup of tea.He held the lamp and blew on the hot air, and Li Chan, who was opposite him, asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

Mai looked at the tea soup, showing a thoughtful expression.

When he just left Lantai, he was still very dazed. He walked through the monster cave once, and saw that this Gyeonggi Youyi Envoy was able to protect so many monsters in Yujing City, and he won the favor of the Bi Lord in the chess pavilion. After dialing, he knew that in the entire city of Yujing, and even in Dayong Kingdom, there might not be many better places to go than this garden.

But Mai Wang was a noble old scholar before his death. He had just been saved and asked for protection, so what could he repay?So some can't say it.Do you want to be like those monsters just now, recognize him as the master, and call him Alang?This is even more indescribable.

However, Xie Zhitian once entered the scene and worked as an assistant for several years.It would be nice to be a retainer under this envoy You Yi from Jingji.But this gentleman, who has gathered so many monsters, must not be a quiet person.

Mai Wang raised his eyes, looked at Li Chan, and said tentatively: "Mr. Lang's family is full of inhumans, I'm afraid the picture is not shallow."

Li Chan shook her head and laughed, "There's no plot, it's all about peace. Of course, my own safety also allows those monsters who are not allowed to live in the world to have a place to live."

Mai Wang was stunned, and murmured: "It's hard to be alone, but my husband also wants to keep these monsters safe. This ambition is not small." After a pause, he put down the teacup and asked: "If you are old and incapable, you can also count as reading. I have passed ten thousand volumes of books, and I am willing to serve you, but I don’t know if my husband can also protect me?”

Li Chan laughed, and glanced at the bookshelf, "I don't have many books, and the words in the book may not stand up to your cooking a few times."

Maiwang smiled wryly: "Although I can cook words to heal my hunger, I don't have to eat books. When you are free, you can write a few words for me to taste, and I will be satisfied. Speaking of which, have you ever written a book?" ?”

"I've only written some Jiyou, it's not considered a book."

Li Chan got up and took out a booklet from the bookshelf. It was originally "Lin Gong Ji You", which wrote about the monsters on the six thousand miles from Xuandu to Yujing, and also mixed with some local scenery.Since Xu Da suggested it, he has added things from previous years, and it is now an inch and a half thick.

Mai Wang took the booklet, turned into a silverfish again, walked through the text, appeared after a while, and said with emotion: "Unexpectedly, at such a young age, Mr. Lang has traveled thousands of mountains and seas. Does this book have a name?"

Li Chan said: "I haven't thought of a suitable one yet."

Mai Wangdao: "The things recorded in Lang Jun's book are mysterious and bizarre. They have the meaning of exploring and searching for hidden things. They can be named after picking up relics. How about calling them Mountain and Sea Relics?"

"Mountain and Sea Collection..." Li Chan looked at the blank book cover, "The title of the book is indeed appropriate."

……

"Ask the owner of that house? The people living in Li's house are amazing."

In Guangzhaifang, in the restaurants in Cangmi Lane, the shop assistants talked endlessly.

"First of all, this abandoned garden was originally broken by the golden mouth of Yuan Jianzheng. It was a terrible and evil place. Even the noble general Fengchen dared not live in it. As a result, Lizhou Qingling Li Dan moved in. In just one night, the house was uprooted from the ground in the garden, and the golden armor of the talisman warriors was shining brightly, and they could see the light when they slept in the house in the middle of the night."

"It's not a big deal. Not only did Li Dan live well in that garden, but he also gained a lot of fame in Yujing. This gentleman, who usually sees his head and tail, and his whereabouts are mysterious, has never been seen. After doing something, Immortal Mo gave him Huliang Shenmo. What kind of person is Immortal Mo? The people who make friends are all masters of calligraphy and masters of Danqing!"

"That's all. The gentleman Ximo invited Li Dan to an appointment in the Bishuixuan to compare his talents with Li Dan. In the end, Li Dan didn't even show his face, but Xie Ningzhi admired him so much that he felt ashamed on the spot. For him I wrote a poem, listen to the guest, this poem is about..."

The store clerk was beaming, and he recited the song "A Gift to Li Dan of Qingling" melodiously, which aroused applause from others.At the table, the young Taoist who asked about Li Dan chewed his onion and nodded slightly.

After a while, he left the restaurant, intending to meet that miraculous figure.Outside the legendary garden of immortals, far away, I saw a handsome gentleman coming out of the door, carrying a wooden box and a mask on his shoulder, and left to the east.

The words "Lingfei goes to shine, cyclists come to grind" are hidden in the wind and snow with the young man's back.

The Taoist priest stood at the entrance of the alley, his eyes piercing the wind and snow, his expression was both surprised and curious, he picked up the red leather gourd and took a sip of wine, thinking, Li Dan from Qingling in Lizhou is actually a fox?
