Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Zhaoran took off his shoes, knocked on them, and revealed the banknotes and brochures inside: "Sir, this is what my parents hid here."

Jiu Ru stretched out his hand and opened the kit, the pearls inside shone with delicate luster under the light, his face was slightly moved: "Your parents left it to you."

Nodding his head clearly, his eyes sparkled and he said: "Give it all to Mister."

Jiu Ruwei smiled slightly: "Sir, don't want it, it was left to you by your parents."

"Then sir will keep it for me." Zhao Ran had no choice but to compromise.

Only then did Jiu Ru put it away for him, and seeing that he put it away, Zhao Ran couldn't help being overjoyed, and felt that he was better than Shen Fangji.

Obviously tired after a busy day, he yawned big after taking a shower, thinking about waiting for Jiuru to go to bed, and then secretly smelling his body, but he fell asleep shortly after hugging the quilt, as if in a haze. I heard Jiuru say to people: "General Taiyin may be on the upper floor."

He raised his eyes in a daze, and saw that Jiuru was getting up to close the window. It was the beginning of autumn, the jade dew was cold, the moonlight was cold, and the mist was smoky, staining Jiuru's thin white clothes. Dou Guang made the corners of his face clear, with firmness in his elegance.

Zhaoran thought to himself that Jiuru was still talking to himself in the middle of the night, it seems that this bereaved family, General Taiyin really upset him.

Don't worry, Zhao Ran turned over and yawned, I will help you.

----

Zhuzi lived in a back alley, and there happened to be an empty yard next door, so Zhaoran rented it out for Lu Tian to live in.

He thought that Lu Tian liked to fiddle with some things, so he deliberately left a lot of money for him, but he still didn't expect that after only a few days, the house was already full of things.

I don't know what kind of animal's texture is completely cut and hung in the yard. There is a pot of something that emits a strange smell in the corner, and a puff of black smoke rises from time to time.

It's no wonder that no matter how handsome Lu Tian is, Zhu Zi doesn't want to step into his yard anymore.

"Master, you are here!" Lu Tian said in surprise when he saw Zhao Ran.

"What are these?" Zhao Ran looked around curiously.

"Master, look." Lu Tian hurriedly opened a bird cage, and there was a live bird inside, which looked like a sparrow.

"What's this mouth?" Zhao Ran knew that Lu Tian must have changed the mouth for the sparrow.

"It's a pigeon's beak. Pigeons rely on their mouths to tell the direction." After Lu Tian explained, he pointed to the grass target in the corner and shouted, "Go!"

The bird flew out of the cage and hit the target in an instant. With a "thump", a ball of fire exploded, and the grass target was completely burned.

Zhao Ran was startled: "What's going on?"

Lu Tiandao: "I sewed explosives into their bodies, and if they collide violently, they will catch fire. Liu Ying is small and easy to hide, and can easily find the designated position with a pigeon beak. fatal."

Zhao Ran looked at Lu Tian, ​​tsk tsk in his heart, no wonder Patriarch Long wanted to give Lu Tian three points when he saw Lu Tian, ​​even if he saw Lu Tian, ​​he would still give up three points.

Lu Tian has been regarded as a monster since he was a child. The only person who thinks he is valuable is his uncle, but he is also deeply afraid of him. After using him, he would like to put him to death. It is obvious that he is the first one who can see it from his eyes. Someone who appreciates him and finds what he does interesting and unafraid.

He is not just a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old, his excitement is beyond words, he only wished to show all his abilities to let Zhaoran appreciate him more.

"Master, here, I made this flamingo for you as a bodyguard." Lu Tian said with a red face.

Zhao Ran asked in surprise, "Is this for me?"

A red mole between Lu Tian's eyebrows was as bright as a drop of blood: "I, I just don't think there is a guard around me, so I want to make something for self-defense..." He seemed to muster up his courage, kneeling on the ground and said, "Please The Lord accepts me as his disciple, and I am willing to serve him."

Zhaoran blinked his eyes, knowing that Lu Tian, ​​who will be called Duntian 20 years later, would be extremely arrogant, and he never expected that he would kneel down and beg for someone to be his subordinate.

He didn't dare to accept Lu Tian as his subordinate easily. If Lu Tian got angry one day in the future, he might kill him as his master.

Lu Tian had heard people say in the past that big families would take in some useful people as their subordinates. He felt that Zhaoran might be useful for saving him, so he boldly tried it, but he didn't expect Zhaoran to reply for a long time. My heart couldn't help but sink.

Zhao Ran said: "You and I are predestined, my subordinates are too far-fetched, so let me tell you a secret, I am not as small as I look, I am already in my twenties, because of some things, I have shrunk to such a small size .”

In fact, Lu Tian already knew that Zhaoran only looked like a five- or six-year-old child, and a person who could destroy Bu Xuan with just one sentence was by no means as simple as a five-year-old child, but Zhaoran was willing to share this secret with him personally, It still made him very excited: "Master, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to restore Master's Angzang body."

"I'm the one you shrunk." Zhao Ran thought to himself that he had only just passed Double Ten in the 12 years he had been in Chenghua, but he said nonsense: "So I'm actually much older than you, so I'll take you in as my adoptive son."

Lu Tian was a person who was rejected by his siblings and abandoned by his parents. He never thought that anyone would be willing to be related to him. His eyes were glistening, and he kowtowed three times to Zhao Ran: "Father-in-law, From now on, Lu Tian will serve his adoptive father with all his heart."

Zhaoran patted Lu Tian's head with his little paw: "Good boy, good boy." But he was thinking in his heart that he would be his father anyway, and Lu Tian would not be able to kill him casually in the future.

He jumped down from the chair and said, "Change your clothes, and I'll take you out."

Lu Tian was obedient, and immediately went back to his room to tidy himself up. He was already good-looking, and with a little dressing up, he was a handsome man, but he was known as a monster in Mengye County, so as not to cause trouble for bumping into acquaintances , so I added a black cloak to myself.

Unexpectedly, Zhaoran was very satisfied when he saw his attire, and then went out with Lu Tianzhu.

----

Not long after the two went to the street, they saw crowds of people on the street, as if something happened, it was very lively.

There is no fun in the world that you obviously don't like to join in, and hurriedly led the two of them to squeeze past.

"The murderer in Guanjing Lane was caught two days ago!"

"Who is it?"

"I heard that it was a book boy from the Meng Mansion who had an affair with that woman, but he had entered into other engagements and didn't want to marry that woman, so he strangled her to death!"

"It's true that you know your face and know your people, but you don't know your heart!"

"Look, look, the young master of the Meng Mansion is here, I heard that he personally escorted him to the government."

Zhao Ran rode on the neck of the pillar and looked up, couldn't help blinking a few times, this Mr. Meng who was walking towards him, isn't he the grown-up Shen Fangji?

"Mr. Meng is really a good-looking talent!" Someone exclaimed.

"Unfortunately, it's a bit romantic."

"I heard that Mr. Meng's lovers can be arranged outside the city from their house."

"Who makes Mr. Meng handsome, with a prominent family background, talented and good-looking, prodigal son rich in money, it's not surprising that women throw themselves into his arms. It's a pity that this frivolous reputation will inevitably implicate the talented Miss Meng in our bookstore. "A scholar with the appearance of a scholar said sourly.

----

"Father, I know this person." Lu Tian suddenly came over and whispered.

Only then did Zhao Ran withdraw his eyes: "You know him!"

Lu Tian nodded: "This man's name is Meng Chengtian, and he visited Bu Xuan a few years ago."

"For what?"

"He asked a strange question. He said that the human brain is like a drawer. As long as you put some things in it, you will become another person when you wake up? Bu Xuan couldn't answer him, but I got some inspired."

Zhao Ran immediately understood: "So you made that wooden cabinet for Bu Xuan?"

Lu Tian nodded: "Yes."

"Then have you seen him since?"

Lu Tian shook his head, and said flatly: "Since I made the Snake Thinking Cabinet for Bu Xuan, he no longer wants to see me."

Zhao Ran felt a little regretful, Bu Xuan told him to get rid of him, otherwise maybe he could have found some clues about this vagabond.

Meng Chengtian got closer and closer, and upon closer inspection, he found that although Shen Fangji's facial features were exactly the same, his demeanor was a bit careless in a playful way, not as warm and calm as Shen Fangji's, but rather impetuous.

Zhao Ran suddenly thought of Zhao Tianci from Dang Fishing Village. They were both the only sons of a prosperous family, and they were both a bit of a dude with a reputation for flirtatiousness.

----

"Master." Zhang Xiaobai squeezed into the crowd and shouted.

Zhao Ran turned his head around: "Xiaobai, are you coming to see the excitement?"

Zhang Xiaobai was a little speechless, there was only one person in the world who tried every means to find Zhang Xiaobai, and he had never tried every means to find anyone.

"Yes, I have something to ask you."

Zhaoran sat very high on the neck of the pillar, Zhang Xiaobai looked up at him and said in a low voice: "The survivors said, I sent...you to kill Bu Xuan, and now they want to let you go before singing the rest." I'll give them an explanation."

"He killed people..." Zhao Ran pointed to Lu Tian, ​​"He will give you an explanation."

Zhang Xiaobai glanced at Lu Tian who was shrouded in the cloak, and had no choice but to say: "The singing is about to begin, let's go!"

Lu Tian anxiously looked at Zhang Xiaobai walking ahead and asked Zhaoran, "I, what should I say?"

"Say what you want." Zhao Ran turned his head and said, "What do you want to say?"

Lu Tian looked at Zhaoran through the mask, only to see him baring his teeth and saying, "You can say whatever you want in your heart."

----

Obviously, he had thought that the place to sing is in a pawn shop like Cross Shop, and even thought that Zhang Xiaobai would set up a stage to sing, but he never expected that he would bring them underground.

The underground river in the dungeon flows slowly, and the sound of gurgling water can be heard all around. The red candles along the bank reflect the water light, adding a bit of weirdness.

Zhaoran also wore a cloak, and followed Zhang Xiaobai with Lu and Tian. From a distance, he could see many people sitting against the wall. Their figures were all hidden in the darkness. The boxes were all open, and in the candlelight there was a faint jewel glow.

"According to your instructions, all those who enter the venue are survivors, and each person must carry at least ten thousand taels of gold."

"Zhang Xiaobai! What do you mean by sending people to assassinate Bu Xuan?" A figure asked sharply, his voice rough and hoarse like gravel.

Zhaoran whispered a few words in Lu Tian's ear, and Lu Tian stood up, but the words were blocked in his throat and he couldn't speak.

The other side got impatient with waiting, and asked again: "Zhang Xiaobai, if you don't tell the truth clearly, don't blame me for being rude. Don't think that you are still some kind of protoss. There are no protoss or survivors in this world. points!"

Lu Tian clenched his fists and tried his best to say: "I killed Bu Xuan, it has nothing to do with Zhang Xiaobai!"

"who are you?"

"What are you? Dare to harm the important divination master of my bereaved family?"

For a moment, Lu Tian seemed to see those faces again, pointing at him and shouting: "Monster! He is a monster!"

"kill him!"

There is also Bu Xuan's heartless face: "You take the five taels of silver, and don't come again in the future!"

"A bitch gave birth to a little bastard, let him go!"

Lu Tian raised his hand suddenly, and the man with the rough voice in the corner ignited into a ball of fire almost instantly, he said loudly: "I set up Bu Xuan, but he betrayed me, why can't I take it back!"

The fire was extremely dazzling in the darkness. The man screamed and jumped into the river, but he couldn't stop the fire from continuing to burn. A ball of fire floated from upstream to downstream, and the noise of the underground passage burst out together.

Lu Tian said word by word: "Do you...do you still want to know about General Taiyin?"

With just that one sentence, there was a stagnation-like silence in the underground passage. At that moment, Lu Tian felt very good, as if the grievances of being trampled under his feet all the time were swept away, and his eyes slowly looked at the faces of these people Sweeping up, said lightly: "If you still want to know, then start singing!"

The fire over there sank into the water, and everyone seemed to be back in the darkness, only to hear an old voice say: "Let's get down to business, let's sing."

----

Zhang Xiaobai got up and said: "There is news about the destruction of the Ge clan in Ronghou Village."

After he finished singing, he folded the paper in his hand into a flower and embedded it on the deck of a two-foot-long and one-foot-wide boat, and the boat floated down the river. Villages are generally related to the Protoss, and the survivors who came here will of course not be interested in the news of the Protoss.

Suddenly, a bamboo pole stretched out from the darkness, blocking the boat, and the man said, "500 taels of gold."

Zhao Ran's heart skipped a beat, the voice was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

Zhang Xiaobai said, "Is there anyone else who wants it?"

Except for the sound of running water, no one answered, Zhang Xiaobai said, "500 taels of gold is sold."

A hand stretched out, took off the paper, and put a few ingots of gold into the cabin, and the boat began to flow back into Zhang Xiaobai's hands.

Zhang Xiaobai sang two more messages, and then made a gesture of invitation to Lu Tian.

Lu Tian stood up and looked around all the people, took out the first piece of paper and said: "The first message is from me to everyone, the last emperor who was captured by Waci will return to the capital in two months The second news is the time when the world changes hands, golden ten thousand taels."

"Could it be that the time when the world changed hands was the result of divination. Even Bu Xuan didn't have such a high price, let alone this is just a mortal king." Someone said.

Lu Tian sneered: "The king of Zhou is also the king of Fan. You all failed to attend the banquet of the king last week, so you became survivors. The result of Bu Xuan is unknown, but whether my result is accurate or not, everyone will know in two months. .”

There was silence in the cave, and Lu Tian continued: "Anyone who is interested in this news can buy it at a spread. Ten people will get 500 taels of gold, and 500 people will get [-] taels of gold. It is not a loss to buy [-] taels of news that the world has changed hands." ah."

Zhaoran secretly praised in his heart, the brain of a genius is good, and he can figure it out evenly.

Finally someone said: "I am willing to offer a copy."

Ten people were gathered quickly, and Zhang Xiaobai's boat was released again, but in a moment it became clear that the box was full of gold.

Lu Tian said again: "The second piece of news, what exactly is the uniform of General Taiyin?"

He didn't even need to ask for this, someone quoted a price soon, the price went up one after another, and finally rose to 5 taels of gold, everyone looked at the thin piece of paper in Lu Tian's hand, and Lu Tian looked at the content on the paper , It says that the Taiyin general uniform is a golden mask, its function is to summon, summon the living to the side of the dead, so at the same time, it can also summon monsters, strange beasts, and even people in nightmares. "

----

The person who sang out the 5 taels of gold picked up the note and walked out of the cave without looking back.

The man walked out of the cave not far, when an old man came out from a dark place, the man bowed and handed the paper flower to him, "Patriarch Rong, here is the news about the purchase of the golden mask."

Patriarch Rong took the paper flower and said with a smile: "I'll let the Shadow Clan worry about it, I will make more human skins today and tomorrow, and send them to the mansion later."

The man said happily: "Thank you, Patriarch, our clan has long been accustomed to life in the secular world, whether it is General Taiyin's family or the bereaved family, it has nothing to do with our clan."

Patriarch Rong nodded, and after the man left, he unfolded the paper flower in his hand, glanced at it a few times, took a deep breath, crumpled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into his mouth.

----

In the cave at this moment, Lu Tian took out the note again, glanced at the cave and said, "What is the Rugao Order?"

Not only the people in the cave, but even Zhang Xiaobai couldn't sit still, and said, "10 taels of gold."

Suddenly a voice said, "15 taels of gold."

Zhang Xiaobai said without hesitation, "20 taels."

In terms of money, no one is Zhang Xiaobai's opponent, and Zhang Xiaobai is in the news business, he bought it, and naturally he will sell it.But what I didn't expect was that the person in the corner actually spoke again: "30 taels, my master has a piece of news that he is willing to exchange with this young master, and you can read it before deciding whether to exchange it with us."

As the man spoke, he came forward and handed over a piece of paper. Lu Tian deliberately sat down, seemingly using a candle to illuminate it, but in fact it was for Zhao Ran to see.

I saw only one line written on it, General Taiyin's ability is to control time.

Even though Zhao Ran was calm and bold, he couldn't help but twitch his forehead when he saw this line of words.

Seeing him nodding slightly, Lu Tian stood up and said, "Change."

That person took the paper flower, and hurried away like the previous person before the end of singing.

Outside the city, a young gentleman slowly unfolded the note, and saw that Rugao Order was written on it, which can be divided into left and right to record time, and combined to reverse time.

Lu Tian stabilized his mind, took out the last piece of paper, and said, "The last piece of news is the whereabouts of General Taiyin, which was sold to the survivors for 50 taels."

Zhang Xiaobai didn't expect that Zhaoran really had to sell the news to the bereaved family. From the beginning to the end, he was asked to help and watch the excitement. Why did the resurrected send the whereabouts of General Taiyin to the bereaved family? Zhang Xiaobai's expression was rather ugly.

Zhao Ran whispered: "Later, I have top-secret news about the two Feng clans that I can present to Xiao Bai."

Zhang Xiaobai's face turned slightly better. The Feng family is a god clan, but there have been rumors that he killed General Taiyin, which caused the entire god clan to be questioned.

The bereaved family discussed for a while before saying: "We bought it."

The amount of the transaction was too large, and the bereaved family came here with boxes.Seeing those boxes full of jewels piled up in front of his eyes, looking at those people bending over to deliver money to the door, Lu Tian only felt that his whole body was comfortable, and even the cold sweat on his back was not so uncomfortable.

After the chanting was over, someone hurriedly came from behind and said, "Please wait a moment!"

Lu Tian and the others turned their heads and only heard the man say, "We have never heard of this place on paper? Please explain in detail where it is?"

Obviously, he knew that he wrote Yegu City on his paper. This was the conclusion reached by Patriarch Long's many years of visits. Could it be that there was no Yegu City 20 years ago?Zhaoran took Lu Tian's hand and wrote a few words on his hand. Lu Tian was still a little nervous before he relaxed, walked to the man's ear and whispered: "Zhuzi Town."

After saying these three words, the man really showed a dazed expression.

Zhang Xiaobai considerately exchanged these jewels for gold tickets and pearls, and took them away, and then Zhang Xiaobai sent them to the car respectfully, and then said: "If you have other news, just call me Come and sing for nothing."

Zhao Ran looked at him strangely, Ye Gu City never returned, if this group of bereaved people really gathered many strong bloodlines to go to Ye Gu City as he wrote on the paper, Zhang Xiaobai might suffer endless troubles, and Zhang Xiaobai would be trapped... Really I can't bear it, Zhang Xiaobai seemed to be very good 20 years ago!
