I believe Kasha is not lying, but I can’t just listen to her description of what the situation was like in the Great Arhat Hall at that time. If there are no witnesses or physical evidence, I’m afraid it’s all empty talk. No one will tell you where you go.
believe.
"Mr. Qin didn't tell you, or anyone else? Including Vivian?"
When I asked the question, I deliberately mentioned the name "Vivian" separately, just to remind Kasha that only Vivian could reach Qin Chengpei's secret realm of the soul.
Of course Kasha understood what I meant, so she looked a little ashamed when she spoke: "Ye Kai, I know that Mr. Qin has always been financially dependent on me, but emotionally he is completely dependent on Vivian. This is something that cannot be reversed. I
I am no longer angry, but since you asked, I must answer. Vivian does not know many secrets, and Mr. Qin's dependence on her is only intermittent. At her age, it is impossible for her to share the burden for Mr. Qin.
There are too many worries, so no one can answer the questions you asked. I can only say that if Vivian can lie, none of us can do anything."
I believe that nothing is difficult in the world, except for those who are willing. We cannot pry Vivian's mouth temporarily because we have not yet found the key to open her heart.
When a man or woman lives in this world, he will always leave himself completely open to another person. For Qin Chengpei, Vivian is everything. For Kasha, Qin Chengpei is everything. This is a natural law, no one
Can resist.
"Kasha, do you believe Vivian or not? In your heart, has Mr. Qin never trusted anyone or told his last secret to someone? Since Vivian is not that person, no matter how good you are,
Think about it, what other secret confidants might Mr. Qin have?"
Kasha frowned, walked slowly around the room, and finally stopped in front of me.
"Ye Kai, Mr. Qin is an open-minded person. Many times he is unwilling to expose his inner world to outsiders. This also leads to the fact that when he disappears, many people can't even tell his hobbies and characteristics. They only know that he is a
A wealthy plant lover founded a giant tree museum, but he knows nothing else and can’t say anything.”
Kasha used this example to explain to me that Qin Chengpei was a very low-key person and left almost no deep footprints in the Giant Wood Museum, so he handed over the entire museum to Kasha to manage, and he concentrated on seeking the path to immortality.
Things seem to be at a deadlock, but there is no way out after mountains and rivers, and there is a bright future in another village. I thought that when Qin Chengpei went to the Snowy Mountains, there must be someone who was his guide and someone who provided him with all services. So, we started from the giant tree.
If you can't get it in the museum, you can go to the Snowy Mountains to find it.
Under this situation, Kasha has tried her best to tell me everything she understands, but I feel sad for her. She likes Qin Chengpei so much, but she has never entered his spiritual world.
Kasha had no choice but to stand up and say goodbye. If we waste time on these useless information, we will eventually lose the statuette.
We all know that the Great Wizard Qingshuang directed those people to cut down the bodhi tree. All the harvest there belongs to the Great Wizard and no one else can get involved.
I sent Kasha out, and she stood in the corridor a little confused: "Ye Kai, I don't know why things have developed to this point? I obviously like Mr. Qin so much and am willing to go through fire and water for him, but he just doesn't believe me, but trusts outsiders.
. He doesn’t know anything about Vivian’s skeleton self-portrait. I took the initiative to help Vivian keep it secret for Mr. Qin’s sake, so Mr. Qin will never know what kind of monster he married.”
I think there is something in Kasha's words, but she didn't mention it just now.
"Kasha, what does the skeleton self-portrait mean? Did Vivian do something to make you very uncomfortable?"
Kasha nodded: "Since Vivian entered the Giant Wood Museum, she opened a special studio for herself, where she painted some oil paintings and self-portraits. Although Mr. Qin found a good painting teacher for her, she always stayed there.
At the early stage, she had no talent for painting at all. She painted nearly a thousand works, and the one that impressed me the most was the skeleton self-portrait. She used sculpture methods to shape a skeleton for herself, and then painted against the skeleton to draw herself.
A hundred years later, when she was buried, she imagined herself as a skeleton in the painting. It was so horrifying that it made people get goosebumps just thinking about it. She couldn't accept that self-portrait at all. She only showed it to her close friends once.
, there were only a dozen people who saw the painting, and it did not spread to a large scale. Later, Vivian called everyone to declare, asking everyone to keep her secret and never mention this matter again, let alone Mr. Qin.
. However, I had already secretly taken photos after seeing the painting at that time. I originally wanted to use it as an excuse for Vivian, but in the end I was not cruel enough to hand it over and ruin the relationship between her and Mr. Qin."
I made the request without hesitation: "I want to see that painting. If the painting is real, it proves that Vivian is not suitable to stay in the Giant Wood Museum at all, but should go to places that are more suitable for the development of young people."
Anyone with experience will know that there will definitely be no good results when they see an old-young couple like Qin Chengpei and Vivian.
Father, like son.
Only serious bystanders can give Qin Chengpei's opinions. Unfortunately, there is no such person in the Giant Wood Museum, and Kasha is obedient to Qin Chengpei and cannot offer contrary opinions, so Qin Chengpei will suffer bad luck.
Kasha took out her phone, found the photo, and handed it to me.
There is indeed a skeleton in the photo, and Vivian used pink brushwork to create a pink skull.
The meaning of this painting is very obvious. She is a beauty in pink, but she may be a skeleton collecting debts. It is equivalent to sending a warning to Qin Chengpei. Unfortunately, Qin Chengpei is too confident. He thinks that he has the qualifications to become an immortal, so he can fight against it.
He didn't care about anything in the world, so he didn't care at all until the last time when he was with Vivian, he was struck by lightning and almost lost his life. From then on, he knew the word "fear".
Looking at this painting, I feel shuddering. Normal painters, even if they are trendy and radical, still will not vilify themselves, but will only use various unique techniques to beautify themselves. But now this skull painting is extremely disgusting.
Turning a good-looking beauty into a hideous and ugly skeleton not only negates the word "beautiful", but is also a great insult to the viewer.
People who can draw such a picture can only say that their psychology is extremely distorted. It cannot be seen on the surface, but it is exposed on the inside.
Kasha still thinks too much. If she had raised these doubts to Qin Chengpei earlier, I am afraid things would have turned out differently.
Kasha put away her phone: "Ye Kai, Mr. Qin is missing. I don't know who should show this painting. Now that I have shown it to you, the pressure in my heart has eased. I have been thinking, can you ask the antique
The headquarters of the Investigation Bureau asks for help, asking them to send more skilled experts to Uttar Pradesh to help the Giant Tree Museum remove all obstacles and rescue Mr. Qin?"
This request is easy to meet. When she told me to ask for help from the Investigation Bureau, I also thought about it, but I refused for the sake of personal honor and face. Now that we don’t have enough manpower, we can’t fight against the Great Wizard Qingshuang and the others.
, in the end it will only be a futile effort, with nothing.
"Kasha, I will choose the right opportunity to ask for help from the Investigation Bureau headquarters. As you wish, I will send more wise men here. In short, I will solve the things here."
Kasha put away her phone and sighed sadly: "Ye Kai, I know it's a bit hard to force someone to do something difficult, but I still want to say that because Mr. Qin handed over the Giant Wood Museum to me, I had to make a huge sacrifice and put down my own face before I could let him.
The Giant Wood Museum keeps getting better and better.”
I was moved by Kasha and asked her to pass the skull painting to me so that I can take a closer look when I come back. If I need help from the Antiques Investigation Bureau, I will do it right away.
Obviously, Kasha breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was her unspoken request. She hoped that the Antique Investigation Bureau would increase its involvement in the Giant Wood Museum incident, because she realized that we are currently passive. If there is no suitable means to reverse the defeat, we will
It will get worse and worse.
Kasha left, and my mood became even heavier. Looking at the skull painting on my phone, and thinking about Vivian's appearance, I felt that Qin Chengpei was actually causing a lot of trouble for himself by falling in love with Vivian.
.
A Chinese proverb says that when you marry a lady, you want a lady.
It's a pity that Qin Chengpei forgot this. When he married Vivian, it was the beginning of his decline. At the same time, he didn't think carefully about the relationship between Vivian and the Pink Skeleton. If his heart has been occupied by the skeleton, the judgment standard appears.
A huge mistake and it's all over.
As I stared at the skull painting, I felt more and more that it was Vivian, and Vivian was it. There was nothing wrong with this self-portrait, and it truly expressed Vivian's inner world.
If Kasha had given this painting to Qin Chengpei, I am afraid that the matter would have been solved long ago and the current disappearance would not have occurred. At the same time, the Giant Wood Museum is flourishing and getting better and better.
Everything in this world is a chain reaction. If there is a big problem in one link, it will become unacceptable when the error is transmitted to the end.
My idea is that if Qin Chengpei paid attention to every link and finalized every link, it would not be like now, where he disappeared and the Giant Wood Museum collapsed.
I actually hope to find Qin Chengpei now and have him come back to replace Kasha.
After all, he has always been Kasha's backbone, and Kasha would collapse if he didn't show up.
While I was observing the skull paintings, the progress on the side of Qingshuang Great Wizard was getting faster and faster. The Emperor's Saw had been assembled and would be cut down in about an hour.
I feel sad for everyone. Their goal is just this big tree, but they don't know that once the Little Golden Man appears, this place will be razed to the ground by the Jianghu forces. Those talents don't care who is useful and who is useless. They only have the Little Golden Man in their eyes.
What's more important is that they get the statuette not for eternal life and immortality, but to exchange it for a large sum of money and sell it at a later price.
In this world, the differences between people are too great, so it is said that Kasha delayed important events and directly led to the disappearance of Qin Chengpei. In the past, this skull painting must have been a powerful medicine to reverse the decline, and
Now with Qin Chengpei missing, these are meaningless.
I shook my head and sighed, who is Vivian? How could she paint her self-portrait so vividly? It is as if this is her future, not towards death, but towards real destruction.
