The strongest mortician

In the picture scroll, there are no flowers, birds, fish and insects, or pawns and peddlers.The painting above is a majestic general wearing a silver battle armor, holding a red-tasseled spear, and riding a horse.This is the only figure painting that appears in the pile of paintings.The painting is very delicate, great efforts have been put into the details, even the dense scales on the general's armor are clear and lifelike.The rough people who don't know how to paint can feel the vigorous heroism coming from the drawing paper.Inexplicable, somewhat familiar.Shen Shen glanced at Bai Yi, then turned to look at the painting. The temperament was quite similar.Bai Yi didn't take it seriously. There were quite a few generals who used red-tasseled spears, and he was not the only one in his age.The red-tasseled spear and silver armor were popular among hot-blooded young men even in the era of frequent wars.

What's more, the protagonist of this painting has no face.

The other scrolls have been placed in dark caves for a long time, and are more or less damaged by damp. This scroll is the best preserved one among all scrolls, and its color is still bright.Deep but careful, I found that the paper on the edge of the scroll is rough, which is caused by people who often grope and play with it. This person must cherish this painting very much and love it so much, but he only caressed the edge of the scroll and did not touch the painting. middle man.The paper where the characters are depicted in the center of the scroll is relatively finer, and the oil on the fingers will corrode the paint. Presumably, it is because of the care of the owner.This painting was able to be preserved so well.

There is still no signature on the painting, and several people can't know the identity of the person in the painting for a while.

"This painting, the paint and paper, are quite special." Bai Dianlin noticed that the underground is cold and humid all the year round, and the other scrolls are damaged, either the paint faded or the wet paper damaged the whole painting.Several people looked at each other, Bai Dianlin and Bai Sanbaisi looked at Bai Qiong, the only one in the field who could be said to have studied calligraphy and painting at the same time.

Bai Qiong calmed down after stepping into the room, and the sadness brought up by the past did not leave a mark on his face.At this moment, being watched by a crowd of people, he coughed reservedly: "This old man usually likes to collect some calligraphy and paintings, that's all, let me take a look." Everyone made room for him, Bai Qiong had a few brushes, he He approached the painting and sniffed the paint lightly, then held up the painting and looked at it under the candlelight.

The turning point came at the moment when he held up the painting. The paper on which the painting was drawn was a little translucent under the candlelight. Through the candlelight, the three characters "Hump Village" appeared in the lower right corner of the scroll, and there was a line of small characters below it, Daye 290 一Annual production is the time and batch of paper production.When Bai Qiong put down the painting, he disappeared again.

"Hump Village." Bai Qiong suddenly realized.

"What's that place?"

Bai Qiong really knew better than the others present, he said: "Tuofeng Village is a village that specializes in making painting paper and paints, most of them are mortals. The quality of the paint on the paper is high-quality, and the price is not cheap, but it is very popular among literati. The paper they make will leave a dark line in the lower right corner, and it will only appear through light.”

"However, I heard that Tuofeng Village suffered a catastrophe more than 100 years ago." Bai Qiong clasped his hands, and slowly explained, "Some people are jealous of the huge income they get from making paints and drawing paper. Insincerely, many people died in the attack in Tuofeng Village, since then, the production of hump paper has gradually stopped, and now, there is very little hump paper on the market." Some of them did not stop production back then. The gems that have been preserved before are extremely precious and hard to find.

"So I didn't think of this at the moment." Bai Qiong explained why he didn't notice it immediately. "I remember that hump paper appeared in Qingye's auction a few years ago, and it was sold at the price of 100 yuan of spirit stones." This price is extremely expensive for drawing paper.It is true that the painting paper in Tuofeng Village also has spiritual plants added, which has the effect of refreshing the spirit.But the utility is limited. People who really pursue utility will not buy expensive painting paper on a special trip. Only those who really love calligraphy and painting will spend a lot of money to buy it. Bai Qiong gave up immediately after hearing the price. He is just interested, not yet passionate about it. To spend huge sums of money for drawing paper that has no practical effect.It's just that it made a deep impression on him.It is embarrassing to mention it now.

"Let's go, then the owner of this house is quite rich. I bought this drawing paper after the production stopped. If you want me, I have so many spirit stones. I have gone to exchange them for heavenly materials, earthly treasures, and first-class magic tools. Go buy this soft one, it's only paper for writing and drawing." Bai Si answered, smacking his lips.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Shen Shen interrupted Bai Si's words.Holding the sword in his arms, Bai Dianlin's eyes moved slightly, which he also noticed.His eyes lightly fell on Bai Si.

Feeling his young master's gaze, Bai Si swallowed nervously: "Ah? Who is going to buy this paper that can only be used for writing and drawing?"

"No, the front one."

"Oh, the owner of this house is quite rich."

"One more sentence."

"This drawing paper was bought after the production was discontinued, this sentence?"

"That's it." The Shen Shen voice was pleasantly surprised.Several people present thought for a while, and found something unusual, only Bai Si was still confused: "No, what's wrong with this sentence?"

According to Bai Qiong, the production of drawing paper in Tuofeng Village stopped more than 100 years ago.But as far as they can see, the production time on the drawing paper is in Daye 290, which is only nearly ten years ago.In other words, the clue is in Tuofeng Village.

blue sky.The Mortuary Sect newly established by the Xiao brothers is facing a devastating disaster.

The disciples recruited by the Mortuary Sect are a mixed bag, and they are not screened. The disadvantages of recruiting disciples only based on whether they are morticians or not, the longer the time, the more obvious the problems caused by the disadvantages.After the news spread that you can get a contracted beast by joining the funeral sect, regardless of whether he is a mortician or not, countless people who came for the contracted beast came with the mortuary box on their backs. Becoming a monk and joining the cultivation sect requires a threshold, but becoming a mortician No need.Today, there are mixed disciples in the funeral sect.

In addition, after its establishment, the suzerain Xiao Tan stayed on the sick bed for a long time and did not show his face or see anyone.The deputy suzerain, Xiao Xi, is still young, and he can't suppress those with impure thoughts in the sect.The crisis broke out after the few people who firmly supported the Xiao brothers' lineage went out.

Xiao Xi covered the wound on his abdomen caused by the sneak attack, and pushed open the door of Xiao Tan's room.The people downstairs were noisy, Xiao Xi knew that it was those traitors who had clashed with the people from Qingkong, so he asked Hong Sanniang, but fortunately, Hong Sanniang helped them because of their previous friendship.

Xiao Xi seized the time, he didn't dare to light the lamp, but fortunately he was already used to taking care of Xiao Tan in the dark, he carried Xiao Tan on his back, wrapped her up with a soft sheet and fixed it on his back.His contracted beast was a Thunder Tiger. When he was attacked, he was swarmed by the contracted beasts of the assailant. He lost his life in order to protect the master.Xiao Xi's eyes were red, he passed the sheet through Xiao Tan, tied it tightly on his chest, and stuffed the deep blue patterned egg on Xiao Tan's bed into the sheet to wrap it up.Xiao Tan is very thin, he is now in a coma, and his bones are burned so that Xiao Xi's back hurts.Xiao Xi's eye sockets became even redder, and even the tip of his nose was a little red.After all, he is still a half-grown boy.

Brother, look at these ungrateful people, open your eyes and see what you got in exchange for your health and your sacrifice.Now that they have learned how to control the contracted beasts with your adaptation of the professor's requiem, they all have big hearts and want to stand on their own.Those who died of the contracted beast and those who did not get the contracted beast were still on your side at first, but now seeing that they have not been able to provide new contracted beasts for so long, they start to blame you, start to stand on the sidelines, and even help the evildoers!

Why do they blame you, what qualifications do they have to blame you? They are the ones who are wrong, their greed and their ambition, brother, is it worth it, is it really worth it?Xiao Xi's tears finally fell, he fled in the forest with Xiao Tan on his back, Hong Sanniang's men blocked those people for a while, and now they have caught up, the branches cut Xiao Xi's arms and cheeks .He hurriedly wiped it off, the contracted beast's nose is very sensitive, and it will be discovered if there is a bloody smell.

He took Xiao Tan to hide in a small cave covered by weeds and held his breath. Not long after they hid in, a group of people with contracted beasts chased them up and searched around.

"I've searched carefully for me. If you find someone, you will be rewarded a lot when you go back."

Someone laughed and said: "That's natural, I want to get a dharma protector."

"There are all of them, and everyone has a share. Haha. I searched carefully." The middle-aged man laughed. It was the man who surrounded Shen Shen in the alley at that time. His contracted beast was a fourth-level wind wolf.His eyes flickered, looking at the crowd full of fighting spirit inspired by him, a trace of contempt flashed quickly in his eyes.Huh, they're all idiots.Thinking of the news he heard, the middle-aged man showed a greedy look on his face, the eggs of the first-level contracted beasts, the brothers of the Xiao family hid them really well, they kept good things hidden and did not take them out.However, it was fortunate that they didn't take it out, otherwise if someone found out, it wouldn't necessarily belong to him.

Fortunately, these idiots are so inspiring.

The contracted beasts sniffed and searched on the ground. A wind wolf seemed to be very close to the entrance of the cave. It sniffed and approached the entrance of the cave. Xiao Xi held the cut wound on his arm tightly, his face turned pale.Closer, closer.

Xiao Xi has already closed his eyes.He quietly loosened the bed sheet tied to his chest, and as soon as he got close, he rushed out to distract the enemy.

"Ah—" The sudden scream made Xiao Xi take back his half-stepped foot.

A group of people descended from the sky, and the funeral clan members with the contracted beast had almost no time to struggle, and became the souls of the dead under the knife.The comers were well-trained, and their killing methods were neat and straightforward. In a short period of time, all the traitors of the funeral sect, including the middle-aged man, were wiped out.

They captured several contracted beasts alive and killed their defenseless masters.

Xiao Xi didn't dare to move, the people who came were all monks, with sharp eyes and ears, not comparable to the traitors of the covenant sect who were only mortals who had gone to contract beasts, he was more careful, hiding in the cave to observe quietly.

"Master, it's all here."

Through the gaps in the weeds, one can barely see that the person called the master is wearing a dark blue robe, with gold threads sewn on the corners and cuffs of the robe, which is elegant and luxurious.There is a suet white jade pendant around the waist.Under the feet are Liuyun boots decorated with exquisite embroidery and dark patterns.The appearance of a son in troubled times in the world.Not like a practitioner.

"Look at the little mouse that escaped from our Beast Sect, and played a house-to-house sect game. It's really... ridiculous." The voice was soft and sharp.The tone of speech is neither fast nor slow.The blood in Xiao Xi's whole body became cold when he heard the sound of the midnight dream that woke him up painfully.

His mind was buzzing and his hands were shaking slightly.It's him, it's that devil, he must never let his brother be found by him, absolutely not.Xiao Xi stared nervously at the people outside, cold sweat broke out on his forehead because of being too nervous.Those who were still outside did not intend to stay too long.After the sparse noises, only the bones of the traitors of the Yanzong remained at the scene.Xiao Tan still didn't dare to move, and waited for a while with tense body, and then relaxed a little when he saw that there was indeed no one else.

"Oh, look what I found, two...little mice." The voice was very close, whispering in the ear.

Xiao Xi raised his head in horror, and met a pair of evil smiling eyes.
