Chapter 182 Fake Painting

Xiaotao originally wanted to greet Zheng Xiu, who had returned from a big victory, with a smiling face, but when she looked down at Zheng Xiu's palm bleeding, her face changed, and she hurriedly wrapped it in a silk scarf.

Looking at the deep bone wound on his palm, Zheng Xiu was also somewhat surprised.

What on earth did that guy come from to break his [Unbreakable] with one knife.

[Unbreakable] The level is only "to enter the room", and the description is "skin as rock, bone as fine steel", not "indestructible". To be able to slash such a deep wound with a single knife and bleed profusely, Cheng Xiao is absolutely extraordinary.

When Xiaotao was distressed to bandage Zheng Xiu's wound, Zheng Xiu thought about it, it's not surprising that Cheng Xiao's knife could easily split the fine iron fan bone, cut the iron like mud, and broke [unbreakable].

Or maybe his "link" with the [Prisoner] path is not deep enough.

Various causes and conditions created this wound.

After Cheng Xiao left, the competition continued.

But then the process is much faster.

In the next two rounds, first there was a master who ranked No. 20 in the weapon spectrum. He used an unpopular weapon. A pair of "Ziwu Yuanyang Yue" danced beautifully. He wanted to take advantage of Zheng Xiu's failure to take advantage of the weapon, but was slapped by Zheng Xiu. After the photo was taken, he fell into a coma on the spot.

The female hero who came up in the second round had a handsome figure and charming features.When Zheng Xiu used the "projection", his legs softened, and the long sword limply pierced into Zheng Xiu's chest, but he didn't force it in, and he conceded defeat on the spot.Before the end of the game, the soft-hearted heroine asked Xiao Daxia where he fell tonight, and if he had time to spend the night before and have a long talk.After Zheng Xiu refused, he won the last game.

At this point, in the Jiazi group, the competition is over, and he has entered the top ten of the hero list.

When the remaining four groups decide the winner, the moon is high in the sky and the night sky is cool.

Although the rest of the knights failed to win the first place, but this time the martial arts conference was full of ups and downs, they enjoyed watching it, returning to the martial arts, with a few more bragging capitals, the trip was worthwhile.

When everyone left their seats one after another, they stayed in the field, only a dozen or so people remained.

The ten or so people, except for Zheng Xiu, are almost all ruthless characters ranked in the top [-] of the weapon list. It may be a bit of luck to win the top [-] of the hero list, but in the end they are considered good players.

"Congratulations!"

Duguxiang's eyes flickered, he stepped down from the high platform and cupped his fists to congratulate.I would like to ask you all to have a good rest in the hidden sword villa tonight, and tomorrow morning we can enjoy the calligraphy handed down by Gongsun the sage of painting together.

"Hero Dugu, it's better to hit the sun than choose the day, why not just tonight! I can't wait!"

At this time, an evil master who was wrapped in a cloak and ranked No. 16 in the weapon list, named "Purple Blood Sword", laughed and offered his opinion.

A benevolent old man in a navy blue gown, with a twisted beard and a smile: "I have always loved the technique of Danqing. I have admired Gongsun Painter for many years, and I have been friends with him for a long time. Now that I know that Gongsun Painter's calligraphy is alive, I came here from a long distance. It’s just for one viewing. Now that the martial arts conference is over, this old man’s heart is itching unbearably, and I implore Dugu Hero not to tempt this old man any more, let this old man have a look at the authentic works of the Sage of Painting!”

"Gentleman Jianyue Chongyang, the real person and his name, he is a gentleman! Hahaha!" On the side, a fat head, big ears, big belly, who won the top ten in the martial arts conference with a pair of iron claws, laughed loudly, but But his eyes were full of sarcasm, his voice was hidden, and he said:

"It's not like rough guys like me, who don't know what bullshit, wind, flowers, snow, moon, red, green, and green are. Dugu hero, wise people don't speak dark words. Ever since the legend of 'get the map of the four seasons, you can get Nie Gong's treasure house' has been spread in the world. Who doesn't want to get a share, even the imperial court, if it wasn't for the war in the north, would have searched around for the map of the four seasons and found Nie Gong's treasury! How can it be our turn! Now the Dugu hero is willing to share, we wait I can't sleep tonight, how can I wait until tomorrow! Please Dugu Daxia fulfill the promise on the hero post and tell me where the Nie Gong's treasure house is! Otherwise...I'm afraid, Hidden Sword Villa will not be able to convince the public today!"

As he said that, the bald man took a step forward, waved his hands at the others and shouted, "Tell me, don't you! Is there anything to hide? Let's be frank and frank, and talk about everything. It's not like Senior Jianyue, a gentleman, in the arena. You have high virtue and high prestige, so you have to take care of yourself!"

Including Zheng Xiu, no one agreed with the bald head's words, and the eyes of the others kept flickering, each with their own thoughts.But at this moment, silence was equivalent to agreement. After the bald head said this, the old gentleman Jian Yue Chongyang snorted softly in his nasal cavity, seemingly displeased.

No rebuttal.

This is true.

Except for "Xiao Buping" played by Zheng Xiu, who showed unexpected strength like a dark horse, the other nine people are all figures who have a place in the weapon spectrum. " Zhang Daer, was once ranked No. 40 in the weapon spectrum by Bai Xiaosheng.Although these 46 seem to be relatively low, they can stand out among tens of thousands of martial arts people and be included in the weapon spectrum by Bai Xiaosheng. The last famous person was a name that was talked about by everyone after dinner in Jianghu.

And if these ten people are ruthless at the same time and make a big fuss in the Hidden Sword Villa, although they may not be able to take advantage of the expert Hidden Sword Villa, but this is also what Duguxiang does not want to see.

Duguxiang's expression was calm. At this time, the rest of the martial arts participants had already dispersed, and the venue was empty.He smiled and clasped his fists at the crowd and said, "I, Duguxiang, have a foothold in the martial arts world, and I have a wide range of friends, and I rely on the word 'faith'! I have spoken, and I will not break my promise to you. Dugu is just afraid that you will be tired and hurt your reward." Interest in painting. But since you don’t want to appreciate it, no matter what, Dugu will take you to appreciate the calligraphy of Gongsun Painter.”

"Hero Dugu is bright!"

Hearing this, Zhang Daer smiled happily, and gave Duguxiang a thumbs up.

Dugu Xiangdang walked ahead and led the crowd down the mountain.

Xiaotao has been sticking to Zheng Xiu's side nervously, facing this group of outstanding martial arts fighters, she dare not show her air.Others could tell at a glance that the girl next to "Xiao Buping" didn't understand martial arts, they only thought it was Xiao thief's parallel head, they didn't take it seriously, they were completely transparent.

Xiaotao gently tugged on Zheng Xiu's sleeve.

Zheng Xiu lightly patted the back of Xiao Tao's hand, signaling Xiao Tao not to be nervous.

"Don't panic, everything is up to me."

Zheng Xiu smiled lightly and said calmly.

"Okay, son."

Xiaotao nodded vigorously.

Duguxiang walked ahead and walked down the mountain.

The others were separated by a distance, wary of each other, followed behind without saying a word.

But Zheng Xiu held Xiaotao's sleeve and joked with Xiaotao from time to time to ease Xiaotao's nervousness, and he seemed extra calm and calm among the few people.The two of them walked on the stone steps like strolling in the yard, they were out of tune with other people's atmosphere, and attracted other people's eyes to drift over quietly, secretly thinking that although Xiao Buping was notorious, it's no wonder that this calm and unhurried demeanor made countless people The wives fell in love with him, and while they knew it clearly, they were even more vigilant.

Zheng Xiu had no idea that other people had already regarded him as a dangerous person like a "female butcher". As he spoke, he paused and looked up at the person walking beside him.

"Brother Xiao, hey, don't come here without any problems. I haven't seen you for many years. Your demeanor is even better than before!"

The person who came to talk to him was actually Zhang Daer who lost Yue Chongyang's face in public, Zheng Xiu was taken aback, his first reaction was that Zhang Daer actually knew the real Xiao Buping?But soon, Zheng Xiu came to his senses, showing a puzzled look, and asked, "Have we met?"

"Did you forget?" Zhang Da'er patted his head and narrowed his eyes: "Three years ago, we met in a brothel by chance, hit it off and drank three cups together. That day you were, hehe, the one on the left, the one on the right, and the one on your back... ...Oh! It's my brother's fault, I have to slap my mouth, I shouldn't mention this in front of the little girl."

Zheng Xiu smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Brother Zhang has identified the wrong person. As everyone knows, I, Xiao, want women and never spend money."

The smile on Zhang Daer's face froze, he was at a loss for words for a while, and was speechless.

Damn, this guy likes whoring for nothing.

"Then I must have admitted my mistake!" Zhang Daer slapped a haha, his thoughts were seen through by Zheng Xiu, and he was not embarrassed. The way to please women is to implicitly say that he is also a fellow.

Who is the same as you in the dog day.

Zheng Xiu cursed secretly in his heart, waved his hands, and said humbly that all the rumors in the world are false names, and they can't be true.

Du Guxiang looked back at Zheng Xiu and Zhang Daer, the corners of his mouth curled up, he knew that Zhang Daer did this on purpose to show him, he kept silent and didn't point it out, but he stepped a little faster.

The others followed silently, only Zhang Daer's wanton voice remained on the stone steps.

Straight stairs lead directly to the villa, with shadows of trees on both sides.

When he was about to enter the villa, Duguxiang, who was walking in the front, suddenly stopped.

The heavy tree shadows swayed gently, and under the slanting moonlight, a lonely figure was stretched several times, narrow, and stretched to the feet of everyone.

A thin figure seemed to have been waiting at the foot of the mountain for a long time, until Duguxiang stopped and walked towards the group of people.

One step, two steps, three steps, four steps.

In the darkness, the visitor paused step by step, seemingly walking very slowly, but in an instant, other people walking on the steps involuntarily touched their weapons of fame, and they sensed that the visitor was not kind.

"Cheng Xiao?"

Duguxiang put his hand on his waist and pressed it on the hilt of his sword, frowning to reveal the opponent's identity.

"Personal matters."

As Cheng Xiao said, he flew past Duguxiang like lightning, and in the blink of an eye, everyone saw only a flash of white saber light, and Cheng Xiao flew behind the "Purple Blood Sword".

click.

The head of the evil master fell to the ground.

No one expected Cheng Xiao's knife to come so fast and so suddenly.

Without any warning, without any warning, the head of a famous master was chopped off by Cheng Xiao.

"The grudge is over."

Cheng Xiao turned around and put the half-cut knife back into its sheath.

Except for Zheng Xiu, the sudden killing made everyone retreat as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and stared at Cheng Xiao with unfriendly expressions.

Cheng Xiao hacked one person to death neatly, making their scalps tingle.That knife was too fast, as fast as lightning.But after thinking about it carefully, Cheng Xiao's saber technique is not subtle at all, it's a mediocre saber, but it's this one without the slightest fancy, which is so close to the extreme that everyone can't react in time.

Duguxiang asked himself, when he saw Cheng Xiao for the first time just now, he was actually able to react.But when Cheng Xiao said "personal grievances", Duguxiang hesitated.It was this hesitation that made Dugu Xiang not have time to block Cheng Xiao, and was half a beat behind.

Duguxiang took a deep breath, and fixed his eyes on Cheng Xiao: "Killing people in my Hidden Sword Villa, the devil knife Cheng Xiao, have you thought about the consequences?"

"I've thought about it." Under Zheng Xiu's surprised gaze, Cheng Xiao walked to Zheng Xiu's side expressionlessly, his pale face remained as cold as a dead man's.Cheng Xiao touched his arms.

This action made the already nervous group of heroes take another step back.

Yue Chongyang even performed lightness kung fu, standing on the top of the tree while stepping on the leaves, retreating as far as possible.

Unexpectedly, what Cheng Xiao took out from his bosom was not any dangerous weapon.

It was a long oilcloth bag with dried blood on the surface.

Everyone was stunned.

Duguxiang's pupils shrank, and his voice trembled a little: "Could it be..."

Cheng Xiao nodded: "The Picture of Willows and Swallows in the Spring Pond."

It is the "Spring Pond Willow and Swallow Picture" in the four seasons picture!
In an instant, light appeared in everyone's eyes.

The one who was most surprised belonged to Zheng Xiu. His speculation became true. Now in Hidden Sword Villa, the four paintings that Grandpa Gongsun painted back then, rumored to show the map of the four seasons where Nie Gong’s treasure house is located, are all collected!
But Zheng Xiu didn't feel excited about it.

Duguxiang took another breath, remained silent for a while, then turned around and continued walking.

The headless corpse of an evil master was left in place, and the head that rolled to the side and no one cared about it.

Cheng Xiao walked up to Zheng Xiu without any sense of disobedience, and walked side by side.

Zheng Xiu is in the middle, Cheng Xiao is on the left, and Xiao Tao is on the right.

Seeing this strange scene, the others were stunned again.

As we all know, Cheng Xiao's saber was broken by "Xiao Buping" at the martial arts conference.Of course, Xiao Buping's iron fan was also broken, theoretically it was evened.But who is Cheng Xiao, who is Xiao Buping, can they be compared?They thought that Cheng Xiao could kill an unknown evil master "Purple Blood Sword" face-to-face because of "personal grievances", so they had more reason to kill Xiao thief without saying a word, but Cheng Xiao seemed to have met a friend for many years, so naturally Come together with "Xiao Buping".

Zheng Xiu asked: "Personal grievances?"

"Yes." Cheng Xiao stared ahead, and unabashedly said the answer that surprised Zheng Xiu: "I want to find Nie Gong's treasure house."

Zheng Xiu was slightly stunned, and then suddenly realized that he couldn't help laughing three times: "Just because he took up a spot?"

Cheng Xiao nodded: "Yes."

Zheng Xiu asked again: "Then why is it him, not me, or someone else?"

Cheng Xiao looked at Zheng Xiu at this moment, his pale face remained unchanged, but his brows were frowned, as if in doubt.He was wondering why Zheng Xiu would ask such a question.

After a moment of silence, Cheng Xiao, who cherishes words like gold, said a long sentence:
"I'm not as good as you. His name doesn't live up to his name."

After a pause, Cheng Xiao looked away and concluded, "It's easy to kill."

hiss!
Cheng Xiao didn't cover up when he spoke, and he was unconventional and frank.But listening to other people's ears, it became a different feeling.

The so-called "personal grievance" was actually because that person blocked Cheng Xiao's way.

The reason why I chose that unlucky ghost was because he was "easy to kill"!
Hearing this, the rest of the people felt their scalps go numb, and as soon as their minds started to stir, they suppressed them forcefully, not daring to think about it.

It was dark and the moon was bright, and after nightfall, lights were lit everywhere in the hidden sword villa.

In a courtyard, surrounded by sword-wielding disciples, it is airtight, and it is obvious that something important is hidden.

Gudong.

Zhang Daer subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Rumors about "Mr. Nie's Treasure House" are getting more and more exaggerated. It is said that there are countless gold and silver treasures, antique calligraphy and paintings, magical weapons, martial arts secret books, and even panacea that can make people become peerless masters overnight.No matter who enters Nie Gong's treasury and wants to be rich and invincible, they can get what they want.

It's fine if it's someone else.However, Mr. Nie was a corrupt official who was featured in the official historian's book in the previous dynasty. He hid the treasure he searched for all his life in Mr. Nie's treasury.

What if, really?

Ten positions have been arranged on both sides of the hall, one not too many and one not too many.

Duguxiang said: "Everyone wait here for a while, Dugu, I'm going to get the painting."

Everyone looked at each other.

There is a saying that everyone knows, but no one says it.

——[Whether there is fraud].

"Please go to a pot of Guishanzhuang's 'Jianbei Tour'."

Zheng Xiu chuckled, took Xiaotao to choose a seat and sat down safely, and ordered a pot of tea by the way.

Duguxiang smiled slightly and agreed.

Cheng Xiao sat in silence next to Zheng Xiu.

"Hey! Brother Xiao is so brave! I am convinced by Zhang Daer!" Zhang Daer chuckled, gave Zheng Xiu a thumbs up, and sat down on the precious wooden chair carved with patterns and leaves, shaking it back and forth, making a creaking sound.

At this time, even if other people are vigilant, it is impossible to lose face at this time.People in the martial arts world, life comes first, face comes second, it is extremely important.Even the well-known Xiao Buping had such guts, the rest of them naturally refused to admit defeat, with different complexions, raised their heads and chests, and chose their seats.

Not long after, a young man presented Zheng Xiu with a pot of "Jianbeiyou", but the others did not.

After a while, Duguxiang walked out of the hall with a scroll in his hand.

This time, Duguxiang didn't have any opening remarks, and shook the scroll in front of everyone.

In an instant, the air froze.

On the yellowed scroll, the painting is a dry forest submerged in the white snow, and the earth is lifeless.And on this dry and lonely snow field, a plum blossom tree grows stubbornly in it. The whiteness of the snow and the beauty of the plum blossoms are strongly intertwined on the picture scroll.

"Good painting! As expected of Gongsun painting saint!"

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the painting, the gentleman Jian Yue Chongyang slapped his thigh suddenly and praised.

Someone stood up and took a few steps closer, but he didn't dare to get too close, for fear of causing misunderstanding.

Among all the people, only Zheng Xiu frowned slightly when he saw the painting, and the teacup in his hand rippled slightly.

Painting is good painting.

The painting is exquisite, and it must be written by a famous artist.

The texture of dead trees, the ups and downs of the snow, and the shape of plum blossoms are lifelike.No matter where it comes from, you can't fault it.

Zheng Xiu has no memory of "Plum Blossoms and Snow Picture", but in fact, the moment Duguxiang shook out the scroll, Zheng Xiu looked at the painting and suddenly noticed something.

This "Plum Blossoms and Snow Picture",
is fake.
