Chapter 650 Demon Hunter 15
Although Chen Mengling found it a little unbelievable, the arrow leading the way was correct. Chen Yuanyi's soul was in this dilapidated old Chen family house.
The lock on the courtyard door was rusty and fragile. Wu Shuang stretched out his hand and gently pulled the lock and it broke, opening the door.
The group of people entered the yard directly. At first glance, the old house was in disrepair. The grass in the yard was as tall as a person, and the house was dilapidated. The tiles on the roof were rotten.
Chen Mengling said to Wushuang: "I haven't lived in this old house for more than ten years. In fact, I haven't lived in it either, because I have lived in a new house since I was born. I also came to see it because I knew this was my old house.
Just once."
Chen Mengling frowned, not knowing why her father's soul came back to this place.
After walking through the courtyard overgrown with weeds and pushing open the door of the main house, the dust inside instantly started to fly, causing everyone to choke and cough.
Wushuang raised his hand in front of his nose to fan the flying dust, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and looked at the layout of the room.
It can be seen that this old house is really abandoned. There is nothing in the house except some old tables, chairs and benches.
Moreover, the arrow pointing the way also disappeared when it reached this point, indicating that the guide could not find the exact location of Chen Yuanyi's soul, and could only point to the old house.
Holding back the choking dust, Wu Shuang looked around all the rooms in the old house. There were not many, just three upper rooms and two side rooms for storing firewood and sundries.
Chen Mengling immediately said: "It is indeed my father. What is painted in this painting is my father's back. But when did my father paint this painting, and why is his back facing people in the painting?"
Chen Mengling said anxiously: "This painting is related to my father's life and death. Please help me sir! If you think the money is not enough, I can add more."
Under Wushuang's guidance, Chen Mengling screamed anxiously at first, and then she became more and more aggrieved. Finally, she burst into tears and called her daddy after being guided by Wushuang.
Mr. Xiu Hua realized that he was not kidnapping but asking him to repair paintings. Mr. Xiu Hua's beard stood up and he pointed at the housekeeper and his group who were carrying him over. He said angrily: "Is this a request? This is
Kidnapping, okay, you want to ask me to fix the painting, it’s impossible."
Chen Mengling immediately said: "Go and check quickly!"
Wu Shuang is also really worried. The ghost in this painting is very weak. It is very easy to eliminate it with a thunder talisman.
But it is impossible for ordinary paintings to appear ghostly, so there must be something weird about this painting. Since we can't detect it through testing, we should clean up the painting and see what it is. Maybe we can get some clues.
But if there are any children that the master likes who died in infancy, there really aren’t any. How about I ask someone to check it out? Maybe there are children we don’t know about who had a good relationship with the master but who died recently.”
The housekeeper and Chen Mengling immediately began to think about it. The housekeeper thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of anything: "There are children that the master likes.
I have observed before that every time you call him daddy, he reacts, but the boy in the painting keeps holding his hand. Whenever he reacts, the boy in the painting tightens his hand.
Chen Mengling and the housekeeper followed together to search, but they didn't understand anything, so the search was of no use, so they still had to rely on Wushuang.
Wushuang, Chen Mengling, and the housekeeper stared at the painting for a long time. The more Wushuang looked at it, the more familiar the courtyard in the painting seemed.
The two looked at it carefully. The housekeeper had a better memory. He compared it with the old house in his memory and immediately said in surprise: "If the yard is full of weeds and the house is dilapidated, wouldn't it be an old house?"
The housekeeper lowered his head to take a closer look, and after a while he said: "It looks like, it looks so similar! No wonder the two people in this painting looked so familiar to me when I saw them before. Isn't this the master's back?"
Chen Mengling took a step forward, saluted the painting repairman and said, "My servants are rude and I offend you. I invite you here because I want him to help me repair a painting."
But now that your father has entered the house, it is just like a person who enters a house and cannot hear the sounds outside the courtyard. If you call him dad now, the impact will be minimal."
"I'm sorry, miss, it was my fault in doing things that delayed my time." The housekeeper lowered his head in shame. It was because he lost his sense of proportion when he was anxious and did things in a bad way.
Sure enough, the talisman was lit, and in an instant he pointed out the location of the ghostly energy to Wushuang. It was a painting hanging on the wall. Although it was a painting, the painting was so dirty that it was hard to tell what it was. Probably because of this
Then he was left in the old house without being taken away.
But the problem is that the two people standing in the yard have their backs to the outside, and they can't see what they look like at all. It's as if the people in the painting are deliberately turning their backs to others to prevent others from seeing their faces clearly.
Just when Chen Mengling was puzzled, Wushuang, who had been holding the table with her hands and observing carefully, suddenly said to Chen Mengling: "Chen Mengling, please call daddy a few more times."
Chen Mengling looked at Wushuang in tears and choked with sobs: "What should I do? Will my father be trapped in this painting forever? Heavenly Master, please think of a way to save my father."
Chen Mengling took a closer look and saw the two people in the painting, one large and one small, holding hands and walking into the main room. The door was closed tightly and no one could be seen anymore.
She looked at Chen Mengling and the housekeeper and asked, "Do you think the yard in this painting is the same as the old house we went to yesterday?"
As for the other talismans, Wushuang thought about it and couldn't think of any useful ones. Wushuang's eyes fell on the painting. Why did the boy in the painting insist on pestering Chen Yuanyi? A ghost may not have a grudge when it wants to harm someone, but it must
There must be a reason for hanging on to someone.
After seeing the painting, the repairman's eyes widened and he said, "I have never seen such a dirty painting need to be repaired."
At this point, Mr. Painting Repair couldn't help but complain: "If you repair a painting, just repair it. If you make it clear, I won't follow you, and you will carry me here like a bandit."
This process was very slow, and the retoucher was busy until late at night. He only made the painting a little clearer, and he could vaguely see that there were two people painted on the painting.
While watching, she said to Chen Mengling: "Scream a little more anxiously, no, a little sadly, add a little crying tone, tell me about your father who is asleep, how anxious and scared you are, if you can cry, drop your tears in the painting of your father."
on..."
Moreover, the paper quality of this painting is rough, the mounting method is simple and crude, and the scroll material is no different from the wood used for burning. Is it worth spending 500 taels of silver to repair it? This painting is not even worth 5 taels of silver."
Chen Mengling was really anxious. She couldn't wait to go back and asked the housekeeper to find Mr. Xiuhua. When Wushuang and Chen Mengling arrived at Chen's house, within two quarters of an hour, Mr. Xiuhua was invited by the housekeeper in a hurry.
Wushuang took the painting down and said to Chen Mengling: "There is something wrong with this painting. I need to find someone who can repair it and clean it up. At least I can see what is in the painting."
Chen Mengling wanted to say that the person in the painting turned around, but she was too scared to say the next words. She could only keep talking about that person, and she even forgot that the person in the painting was probably her father, Chen Yuan.
one.
After appeasing the housekeeper, he sent someone to follow the painting repairman home to get the tools. When the painting repairman came back, he anxiously waited for the painting to be repaired.
Chen Mengling was so anxious that she patted the drawing paper and called her father. Wushuang said helplessly: "Stop shouting. Your father was in the yard before and the restraints were only one level. He can still hear you when you call.
Chen Mengling was now in a hurry to save her father. What Wushuang said was what she said, and she immediately said: "This is easy to say. I will immediately ask someone to hire the best painting repairman in the county."
Wushuang tested the painting with his spiritual power, but there was no reaction, as if it was just an ordinary painting.
Mr. Painting Repairman was surprised by Chen Mengling's anxiety. He was not one to sit back and raise the price. He said directly: "There is no need to add more money. Since you insist on repairing this painting, then repair it, but I have to go back.
Go get my painting tools."
Mr. Xiu Xiu stood in front of Chen Mengling and Wu Shuang with a confused look on his face. He was admiring ancient paintings at home. A group of people broke in like bandits, picked him up and ran away. He thought he had offended someone unintentionally and was going to be arrested.
Learning a lesson.
Chen Mengling was frightened when the person in the painting turned around. Her original sad and aggrieved mood suddenly stopped, leaving only horror, and she was so frightened that she retracted her tears.
Wushuang covered his forehead with a headache and said, "Don't cry yet. Just be quiet and let me think about it again."
Mr. Painting Repairman had originally made up his mind not to repair the painting, but he would never accept a request from a robber like this. However, Chen Mengling gave him too much. He glanced twice at the impressive piece of white money placed in front of him.
, Mr. Xiu Hua finally compromised.
You two think back, did Chen Yuanyi treat any boy particularly well, and this boy died in infancy?"
Not only Chen Mengling was frightened, but the housekeeper next to her was also so frightened that her legs were weak and she was already sitting on the ground. She was not as good as Chen Mengling.
At this time, Chen Mengling, who had been staring at the person in the painting, also spoke up. She pointed at the man holding the child's hand in the painting and said: "Butler, look at the back of the man in this painting, does it look like the back of my father?
"
Just when Chen Mengling was crying, with her eyes blurred by tears, she saw the body of the man in the painting trembling, his head turning around like a puppet as stiffly as a puppet. She watched as the man in the painting changed from only having the back of his head to showing
A line of profile.
The key is to use the rat weapon. There is not only a ghost in the painting, but the ghost is also entangled with Chen Yuanyi's soul. If you kill the ghost, you will kill Chen Yuanyi at the same time.
Chen Mengling's legs were so frightened that she fell down on the chair behind her and looked at Wushuang with a trembling voice: "Tian, Tianshi, that, that, that..."
Wushuang sighed and said to Chen Mengling: "What are you afraid of? It's your father. Your father's soul is imprisoned in this painting, so that's why he can't be found.
Chen Mengling didn't know why, but she still followed Wushuang's instructions and shouted "Dad" to the painting several times, while Wushuang stared at the two people in the painting.
Although Chen Mengling was worried about her father, she did not express her anger. She comforted the housekeeper and said: "I was anxious for you to hire someone quickly. I don't blame you for this matter. If you want to blame me, you should blame me for not thinking carefully."
I don’t have anything on my hands, so what’s the use of just tying me up here, as you have to go back with me, and the time spent going back and forth will take up much more time than waiting for me.”
Your father is controlled by this boy, which is why he can't come up with this painting. But whenever you call him, he will react a little. Your crying just now made your father react greatly. He is very worried about you, so he wants to work hard.
Break free from the boy's control and look back at you."
Did it really turn out to be her father? Chen Mengling immediately threw herself on the painting and wanted to continue crying, but Wushuang pointed at the person in the painting and said: "It's useless, look at it."
But it was unclear whether the painting was a man or a woman, and it still needed to be repaired. The light was not good at night, so no matter how anxious Chen Mengling was, she could only let the repairman rest first.
Early the next morning, the repairman continued to repair the painting. It was not until the afternoon that the painting was repaired. After the repair, the painting could finally be seen clearly.
Wushuang rummaged through his talisman bag again, and found another talisman with great difficulty from hundreds of talismans. This talisman had no other ability, it was very good at finding ghost aura, a little bit of ghost aura that the Celestial Master could not feel.
, this talisman can be found.
Chen Mengling had prepared a very sumptuous dinner, but what she ate was still tasteless. Wu Shuang and Mr. Xiu Hua had good appetites and ate a lot.
Wushuang said to Chen Mengling and the housekeeper: "It is impossible to expect your father to break free now. We can only try to persuade the boy here.
"This is five hundred taels of silver. As the cost of repairing the painting, sir, it is more than the little girl's apology to you. Please help me calm down my anger. This painting is related to my father's life. It is very important. Please help me."
Chen Mengling simply waved her hand and asked her servants to take out the silver that had been prepared in advance. There were five trays, each containing a hundred taels of white silver.
There is also a small courtyard in the painting, with three main rooms and two side rooms. There are a few chickens running in the courtyard. It looks like a very ordinary courtyard, with two people standing in the courtyard.
He clasped his hands behind his back, coughed slightly and said, "Okay, since you are so sincere in apologizing, I won't argue with you, so just bring the painting you want to repair."
Wushuang really didn't notice anything was wrong. She recalled that the ghost energy she felt before was very weak. If the ghost was hiding somewhere that could block the ghost energy, it would be normal for her not to notice it.
There are indeed two people in the painting, one large and one small. They are all men. Moreover, the clothes they wear are not silk and satin, but patched coarse linen clothes.
As soon as Chen Mengling stopped crying, the head of the man who turned his head in the painting quickly turned back again, with the back of his head facing outward again.
The housekeeper agreed and went out to find someone to investigate. Chen Mengling continued to think hard, but the more anxious she became, the more blank her mind became, and she could not recall any memories.
Wushuang saw Chen Mengling's anxious look and comforted her: "Don't be too anxious. Although your father is trapped in the painting, he will not be in any danger in the short term."
Chen Mengling only heard the words Wu Shuang mentioned about the painting. Yes, painting. She looked at the scenery in the painting. It was the old house that was not dilapidated, and the clothes her father wore before.
With a flash of inspiration, Chen Mengling said to Wushuang in surprise: "Master Tian, I know who the boy in the painting is!"
