"Sir, the painter has finished the painting and hung it on the wall for you." A servant said to a foreigner wearing a foreigner's hat.
"Let me see how he draws." Yuanwai said.
The member looked at the painting in front of him. It was about his yard. He made the yard look like it was real. Both the tiles of the house and the clothes of the servants were painted carefully.
It was just that when the deputy director saw that a grave on a hillside not far from his yard was included in the painting, he was a little dissatisfied. Why did the painter include a grave? This was too unlucky.
"Go find the painter and paint it again." The officer said to the servant.
"Yes, sir." The servant ran outside.
But after a while, the servant came back and said to the staff: "Sir, the painter has received the reward and left."
"Then take down this painting, forget it, let's hang it on it." Yuanwai originally took down the painting, but the painting was so beautiful that he was reluctant to part with it.
Next, the clerk started working in this house and looked at the account books of various stores sent by the housekeeper to see if there were any errors or omissions.
While he was looking at it, he glanced at the painting subconsciously. Well, what's going on? There seemed to be cracks on the tomb in the painting. It didn't seem to be there before.
It's better to read the account book quickly now, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight, so I stopped caring about it and continued to read the account book.
But after looking at it for two hours, the member was a little tired. He picked up the tea and took a sip to refresh himself. Then he subconsciously glanced at the painting and found that the tomb on the painting had changed again and split into two halves.
The member of staff rubbed his eyes and looked again, confirming that the tomb was split in two. What was going on? How could the tomb on the painting change?
What will happen after the tomb changes? Could it be that a corpse suddenly appears on the painting?
Thinking of this, the officer stopped looking at the account book and glanced at the painting from time to time. After an hour, a corpse appeared in front of the tomb.
This corpse was shriveled and covered with black hair, and each black hair had an eye on it, blinking from time to time, looking very disgusting.
Now the officer was terrified. The appearance of this corpse didn't actually worry him. After all, it was in the painting. But when he looked at the eyes on the corpse, he found that those eyes were staring straight at him, as if they were going to cut him a thousand times.
It's common to be chopped into pieces.
The member didn't want the painting at all. He wanted to burn the painting, but he found that he couldn't make a sound no matter what. He wanted to stand up, but found that he couldn't move, so he could only sit there blankly.
.
He sat like this for an hour, and the painting changed again. The corpse in the painting was walking towards his mansion. The painting showed that the corpse was halfway there and was almost reaching his mansion.
Could it be that this corpse came for him and wanted to kill him, but this was just the person in the painting. No matter what, Yuan Wai's body was trembling deeply, and a feeling of despair spread in his body.
After another hour, the sky became dark and the moon rose into the sky. However, a dark cloud appeared in the sky at some point, shrouding the sky below in darkness, making it impossible to see even one's fingers.
And I don’t know why in such darkness, the outsiders can still see this painting clearly.
At this time, the corpse in the painting had walked into his mansion and appeared in the yard.
Looking at the corpse getting closer and closer, cold sweat broke out on the officer's face. If he had known better, he would not have forced the painter to paint.
An hour later, the corpse in the painting appeared in front of his door, and there was a knock on the door.
The member of staff was now completely frightened, because the sound was real, which meant that the corpse in the painting had really come outside the door.
what do I do.
What to do if he comes in?
…………
Yuanwai was thinking about the terrifying situation.
The door opened with a creak, and the body appeared at the door, rushing towards the door, letting out a miserable scream.
…………
Zhou An rode his horse into Songhua City. There was no one on the street. It was as quiet as a ghost town. Compared with the bustle of the last time he came here, it was completely different.
When Zhou An rode his horse to the middle of the road, a dark ghost wearing tattered clothes and a red and swollen face floated towards Zhou An.
Zhou An punched Yin Gui with vigor in his hand, knocking Yin Gui out of his wits and turning into black air that floated into the air.
It seemed that the scholars from all over the world were right. There were many ghosts in Songhua City, and he met one not long after he entered the city. If it had been a commoner who had entered the city, he would have died long ago.
Why did Songhua City become like this? No wonder the five golden catchers want all the city's divine guards to come here to compete. It seems that they are going to clear out the ghosts here.
Zhou An then followed the address given by Shifang Scholars and came to a grocery store.
This grocery store sells daily necessities, such as axes, ropes, wooden bowls, etc.
Zhou An just glanced at it and walked towards the shopkeeper of the grocery store.
The shopkeeper is a woman in her fifties, and the years have left an aura of vicissitudes on her face. Well, not to mention such a literary aura, she is just an old woman.
After Zhou An arrived, he said: "What do you want to buy?" Since ghosts have appeared everywhere, grocery stores like hers have become places frequented by all civilians, and civilians often come here to buy things for their daily life.
use.
Zhou An took out the token of the divine guard.
The woman glanced at it but did not move, and said directly: "Are you the divine guard of Guiyuan City?"
Zhou An nodded.
The woman said: "Go to the backyard, there are already many people here."
Zhou An smiled and said, "Thank you." Then Zhou An walked towards the backyard.
When he walked to the backyard, Zhou An was shocked. The backyard was really too big and too luxurious. There were pavilions and pavilions. There was such a place hidden behind the grocery store.
There were many people wearing the clothes of the God Guards everywhere, some holding food, some holding wine glasses, greeting each other and talking.
It’s almost the same as the party in the previous life.
However, compared with the deserted streets outside, it still seems too lively here, and it doesn't feel like a ghost town in Zhou'an at all.
After Zhou An arrived, he walked to a rockery and observed the gods in front of him.
Before coming, scholars from all directions told Zhou An that Guiyuan City not only sent him, but also sent two people. They were the geniuses of Guiyuan City's God Guards. Their force was also powerful, so they also represented Guiyuan City.
Zhou An came to participate in the competition, but Zhou An liked to act alone, so he did not come here with the two people. He only met and greeted them before coming, in case they didn't know each other during the competition.
Now Zhou An is looking for two people, and they should have arrived by now.
When he saw the two people chatting with the two female guards, Zhou An walked over.
"Tang Zixuan, Wei Zhanfei, so you are here. It will be easier for me to find you." Zhou An said.
Yes, the two divine guards are Tang Zixuan and Wei Zhanfei. Zhou An is very confused about Tang Zixuan joining the divine guards.
However, after hearing Tang Zixuan’s explanation, Zhou An understood. With Master Fang’s recommendation, it would be appropriate for Tang Zixuan to join the Divine Catcher Guard and become a Divine Catcher. In addition, Tang Zixuan’s strength was also good, and he became
It was inevitable that the God of Guiyuan City would be a genius at catching guards.
So when Zhou An saw that Tang Zixuan was also a divine guard, Zhou An was also surprised.
And Wei Zhanfei is the godson of Guiyuan City's God Guard Chief Wei Yixiao. He is also a genius. At the age of nineteen, he has reached the level of bone refining and is already ranked high in Guiyuan City.
One of the most famous geniuses in Guiyuan City.
"Zhou An is also here. Let me introduce you to two beauties. They are the guards of Hong'an City God. Their names are Hong Li'er and Yin Xiang." Wei Zhanfei said.
"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Zhou An said with a courtesy.
"Why are you showing off the etiquette of a scholar? Were you a scholar before?" Yin Xiang looked at Zhou An in surprise and said. She knew that all the people who came here were the people who came to guard the gods. Although there were also people who studied Confucian methods, but
Very rarely, I didn't expect to meet Tang Zixuan and Wei Zhanfei's companions as well.
"I'm just a civil servant, nothing." Zhou An said with a carefree smile.
