Without a heroic spirit, I can only end it myself.

Jiang He decided to leave Cai Lang Painting Workshop and said goodbye to Yan Qingliang.

Yan Qingliang did not dissuade him and said goodbye happily.

Before leaving, I gave him a special gift——

【Lingmane Pen】

"This is a paintbrush made from the mane of a magical beast. It may not be suitable for drawing detailed pictures, but it is very suitable for pouring power into paintings out of thin air."

"You can use it for self-defense when you travel around the world."

The Taoist holds a sword and the painter holds a pen.

It fits the identity very well.

Jiang He accepted it happily and asked curiously.

"Master Yan, the magical beast you are talking about is..."

"The cloud-maned horse is a magical horse that was born on the top of a mountain. From the moment it was born, it has been running among the clouds."

Yan Qingliang fell into memories.

"There are many spiritual beasts in the world, and it is not difficult to find the divine dragon, cloud and tiger in the right place."

"But among the many spiritual beasts, there are only a few that contain magical power and are called miraculous spiritual beasts. They are truly rare."

"When I was young, I wanted to use a paintbrush to record the world's spiritual beasts, but unfortunately I couldn't do it."

Regarding Yan Qingliang's regret, Jiang He was helpless.

However, after he left Cai Lang Painting Workshop, he kept thinking about Yan Qingliang's words, and often looked at the Lingmane brush in his hand, thoughtfully.

Spirit animal hair.

In particular, the hair of magical beasts, even if it does not contain magical power, has excellent adaptability as a carrier of power.

Very suitable for making pen filaments.

The cloud-maned horse's mane looks like this.

So……

Ruan Xiangyu was fanning the fire to grill the fish when she suddenly noticed some strange looks. She hurriedly turned around and covered the snow-white fox tail vigilantly.

"Sir, where are you looking?"

"nothing."

Jiang He put away the spirit-mane pen as if nothing had happened.

This was just a small incident on the road, and Jiang He didn't really take it seriously.

About half a month passed after that.

They passed through Kunzhou and, as usual, entered the city to replenish supplies and then set off again.

Who would have thought that it would be midnight in the suburbs.

When Jiang He was checking the supplies, he found a rather suspicious pekoe pen in his backpack, with a faint fragrance on it.

"Xiangyu, what is this?"

"I bought it when I passed by a bookstore. I planned to use it to practice calligraphy...Do you want to use it, sir? I'll give it to you."

You didn't even give me a chance to interrupt.

Jiang He looked at the suspicious white-haired pen, laughed dumbly, and put it into his pen bag.

The spirit beast pen plus one.

Finally comfortable.

"anyway……"

"If I find a geomantic treasure place and bury this pekoe pen, can it be recreated in the ruins of reality with the power of time?"

Jiang He had another thought.

While he was thinking.

On the page in front of me, new events have once again evolved.

[After you left Cai Lang Painting Studio, you returned to the wilderness and wanted to paint a strange picture of hundreds of monsters. 】

[Because you have mastered the wonderful art of painting, drawing boats when encountering water, and drawing wings when encountering mountains, your speed has greatly increased, and you will reach the border wilderness in more than a month. 】

[In the year 1339 of the Meng calendar, it was the ninth day of the month of Durian. 】

[You walked to the mountains and met a woodcutter. You noticed that he was carrying an evil spirit, but his face was rosy, so you went up to chat. 】

[You are very good at conversation, and with just a few words, you can make someone express their concerns. 】

[It is said that he was originally a bitter woodcutter in the mountains. He had no father or mother and was alone. He cut wood and drank wine to survive. 】

[One day it rained heavily in the mountains and it was inconvenient to go out. I rested at home to watch the rain, but I saw a spider's web, which was torn apart by the rain and was in dilapidated condition. 】

[On a whim, he straightened up the wooden board to protect the spider web from wind and rain. 】

[Since then, the spiders have made their home, and he has been observing them day by day, repeatedly chasing away birds and lizards, saving the spider webs, and treating them as companions. 】

[Until one day, when he came back from chopping firewood, there was no spider in his web. When he was feeling sad, a woman came out of the house. 】

[It is said that the spider has become a spirit. Thanks to the benefactor, he is rescued. He is willing to marry him and repay him with his life. 】

[The woodcutter then married the spider girl, and has been there for more than a year. He has been cutting firewood and returning home every day. He is very happy to have his wife by his side. 】

[He said, if you don’t mind, you can come to his home as a guest...]

[A: Refuse politely, B: Agree readily, C: Intervene personally]

Love affair between man and demon?

Ega brushed his fingers over the words.

He had observed it.

Although this woodcutter has a demonic aura, it is only acquired through getting along with him day and night. He is just an ordinary mortal.

Moreover, he was not manipulated by illusions or controlled by spider threads.

Everything you say and do comes from your heart.

"Monsters are different from spiritual beasts. They are violent beings that feed on humans and are almost as violent as natural enemies."

"The demon is in love with the human race..."

"The world is truly so vast and full of wonders."

Ega marveled as he made his choice.

【Happily agreed】

He chose to agree to the woodcutter's invitation, firstly to open his eyes and experience the legendary forbidden love.

Second, there is still a little confusion in my heart.

Soon, this confusion was answered.

[You agreed to the woodcutter's invitation and went to his home, and you saw the spider girl. 】

[Although he looks ferocious, his movements are gentle and graceful. He and the woodcutter are like glue, loving each other. 】

[You are frightened but not frightened, sighing at the love between the woodcutter and the spider girl, and wishing you blessings. 】

[The woodcutter was delighted, so he invited you to drink together and talk happily over the wine. 】

[Drunk to the depths, true feelings revealed. 】

[He said that love between men and monsters is actually taboo, and everyone who knows about it despises it and scolds it. 】

[Now there are finally blessed people, and their hearts are filled with joy. 】

【In deep love, I sigh again and again. 】

[You seem to be drunk and ask, where are those scolding people? 】

[The woodcutter smiled drunkenly and said, "Kill them all, fill your wife's belly with them, and bury their bones in the tree, which will become more and more fertile." 】

[You ask again, parents, relatives and friends also killed him? 】

[The woodcutter shook his head, what's the use of keeping a person who can't empathize? 】

[The woodcutter said this, his eyes were clear, as if he had sobered up, but he seemed not drunk yet, he smiled and shook his head. 】

[He said that we had a great time chatting with him and wanted to make friends with him. 】

[Of course, my wife is very hungry, and since we are friends, I should feed her well, and this acquaintance is not in vain. 】

Jiang He was sitting in the woodcutter's house.

Looking at the woodcutter with a simple and honest smile in front of him, and the spider girl who had climbed to the top of her head, drooling with fishy saliva, she couldn't help but sigh slightly.

honestly.

He is actually very open-minded.

What happened to forbidden love?

Xu Xian returned a human being to a snake. If not it has been passed down through the ages, people still sing "Fa Hai, you don't understand love"...

The person named Ning is not even alive.

Unfortunately……

Jiang He picked up the spirit-mane pen and used wine as ink, swiping it freely.

At this moment, the spider girl suddenly swooped down, and her limbs turned into black shadows. Just as she was about to stab her hard, the sound of gold and iron colliding suddenly sounded.

The indifferent water and wine turned into a wine sword out of thin air, and with the fierce sword energy, it slashed at Spider Girl!

Spider Girl fought with all her strength, but was no match for the sword made of wine.

It was chopped into pieces, shattered into pieces, and fell onto the wine table with a wailing sound.

"Azhu!"

When the woodcutter saw the spider girl broken and falling, his first reaction was not fear, but anger.

He actually raised his hand to pick up the hatchet and rushed over with red eyes.

"I consider you a friend, but you killed my wife..."

Another wine sword slashed through him, and the woodcutter stiffened, split into two pieces, and fell into a ball.

Look at this messy scene.

Jiang He sighed, took out the picture scroll, picked up the pen and started drawing.

【Spider Wife】

After mastering the art of painting and painting, Ega's skills have become increasingly sophisticated.

A new and strange picture was quickly drawn.

He then set fire to the woodcutter's house and left with the painting.

The painting "Spider Wife" was not painted by Ega. It is the only painting about a hundred monsters related to forbidden love.

No coincidence.

Just one year later.

Jiang He encountered another forbidden love.

[In the year 1340 of Meng Li, it was the seventeenth day of Lotus month. 】

[When you go to a small border town and encounter a large-scale funeral, talk to passers-by and you will know the reason. 】

[A talented man and a beautiful woman, a rich and domineering family, fighting for love...]

[Grand and grudge disputes are often like this. 】

[However, the woman couldn't bear the humiliation. After she died, she turned into a ghost and demanded her life to avenge her. 】

[Although the people nearby did not dare to say anything, they also secretly applauded, which was very satisfying. 】

[Although you are applauded in your heart, you are also worried that the female ghost will take her life. After tasting the blood, she will completely degenerate into a vicious ghost, act recklessly and hurt innocent people. 】

[Then he followed the traces all the way to the deserted villages and outskirts. 】

[When you were surprised, you saw a young man embracing a female ghost in a ruined and deserted village, and then you realized that——]

【If we don’t meet each other in life, we will meet in death. 】

[Seeing that the female ghost’s resentment has dissipated and her violence has gone, you decided to...]

[A: Take action to eliminate, B: Wait and see what happens, C: Turn around and leave, D: Intervene personally]

Ega made his choice directly.

[Just wait and see what happens]

The birth of a sneaky person often requires the right time, place and people, which is very rare.

And when they were just born.

It is the most unstable and accident-prone time.

They are either like this female ghost, who will follow their instincts to find those people they resented and obsessed with during their lives, and kill them for revenge to fill themselves up.

Or like Princess Xueyun in the past, she would instinctively extract the yang energy of people nearby to maintain her own existence.

When they stabilize, they will gradually regain their intelligence.

Some sneaky people did not have deep obsessions during their lifetime, and would completely regard themselves as new lives, attack and kill others arbitrarily, and enjoy the yang energy and blood of strangers.

Some are sneaky and will continue their previous thoughts, almost like living a second life.

This female ghost is obviously the latter.

After taking revenge, his resentment disappeared and he chose to meet his lover after death.

In this case, Jiang He did not take action directly.

Instead, he observed in secret for nearly half a month——

Watching the female ghost gradually decline, she did not go to nearby villages or towns.

Watching the young man actively dedicating his yang energy to maintain the existence of the female ghost.

Watching the young man gradually decline, the female ghost decided to self-destruct, unwilling to continue to drag her lover down.

Until this moment, Jiang He finally took action.

He drew a picture of "Fuling Ghost Girl" and gave it to the ghost girl so that she could sleep in the drawing. This would not only slow down the rate of decline, but also reduce the impact on young people.

He also gave the young man a recipe for nourishing Qi and cultivating energy, and taught him a Taoist method.

At the same time, he told the young man that if he wants to maintain the existence of female ghosts for a longer period of time, he should try to cultivate himself. The different paths of humans and ghosts are all nonsense. If there is love, things will come true. Just be happy...

The couple wept and kowtowed, wanting to know their benefactor's name.

Jiang He waved his hand and walked away.

…

Not long after Jiang He left, Ruan Xiangyu returned to him.

She seemed to be feeling emotional about the young man's encounter with the female ghost.

After hesitating, hesitating, struggling, and thinking over and over again, he decided to speak.

"Sir, I have something to tell you..."

She confided all her past experiences, the emperor's pursuit, and Xueyun's remnant soul in one breath, and looked at Jiang He nervously.

It seems that he is afraid and worried about something.

Even the snow-white fox tail drooped.

Jiang He raised his eyebrows.

"oh."

That's it?

He thought it was a big deal.

Compared to this kind of thing...

"Xiangyu, I want to eat pig's trotters, braised in brown sauce."

Ruan Xiangyu stayed where he was.

Looking at the young master's retreating back, he hurriedly chased after him.

His steps seemed much easier.

"Then you need to prepare a lot of things..."

I write a little slowly, sorry!
