Doutu Continent

Ever since Suzaku Academy of Painting and Qingyun Academy of Painting revealed their students with excellent qualifications and were deprived of their hearts, the other three academies have entered a stage of intense self-examination, fearing that some of their own disciples will encounter accidents.

The heart-picked person of Suzaku Painting Academy is the most beloved apprentice of the dean Zhu Huazun. Gu Qingzhou, the victim of the second heart-picking incident, is only an apprentice of Qingyun Painting Academy and has not improved for many years, but he is also Mo Huajun's only apprentice. The purity of Qing Gen Eixin is also extremely rare in the Fifth Academy, with no more than ten people with the same qualification.So even if he has been stuck in the bottleneck for many years and has not broken through to become a painter, he is still favored by the painting academy, and the supply of resources has never stopped.

Under such a background, Huanggang Academy of Painting focuses on taking care of several pure-hearted disciples, and investigates the suspicious people around them. Sure enough, among the people who tried to approach these disciples, they found the heart-picker!

Every student of Huanggang Academy of Painting has to hand in ten paintings every seven days. There are strict requirements on the degree of completion and size of the works. After canceling all the outings and practice activities recently, it is even more frantic to add an additional copy of a six-foot painting. (2 meters long)

In addition to eating, going to school and sleeping, the disciples spend the rest of their time completing the paintings, and there is less communication with each other.At this time, an active disciple came into the sight of all the teachers and teachers of Huanggang Academy of Painting.

At first, I thought that he was perfunctory and careless in painting, so he had time to wander around. After investigation, it was found that he had seriously violated discipline.

As soon as he investigated, the problem became more and more serious.A copy of "Picking the Stars with Bare Hands" was found in his room, so the disciple was sent to the Painting League for further interrogation.

"..." I suddenly felt a little miserable, no matter if it was a disciple of the Huanggang Academy of Painting, or a heart-picker lurking in the Academy.

"Can Huanggang Academy of Painting's method of checking the heart-pickers be used for reference?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Mo Xuetao said, "What do you think?"

Gu Qingzhou smiled slyly, "I was seriously injured, and I didn't even go to school. Naturally, I don't need to hand over my paintings to the teacher. I think I can give it a try."

Of course it's just a joke, unless he wants to become a public enemy of the whole house, but there is indeed a place to try.

"The heart-picking hands of the Huanggang Academy of Painting have secret books. If I also found a copy of "Picking the Stars with Bare Hands" in Qingyun, can I be sure who is the heart-picking hand?"

Mo Xuetao said: "Huanggang Academy of Fine Arts is lucky. The hand that picks the heart is a painter, and there is no painter's badge to hide things. The object of your suspicion, apprentice, is the painter. If you touch the things in her badge, unless you ask the painter to come forward. Dean Lin will never agree."

Gu Qingzhou said clearly: "Yun Zhixian is a painter. Before there is any evidence, Dean Lin treated this matter cautiously. Gu Qingzhou understands everything."

If he can recover his memory, Dean Lin will certainly believe it.Otherwise, arresting people based on one-sided words will affect the reputation of the painting academy.

Gu Qingzhou wondered: "During these days, Yun Zhixian is really not suspicious at all?"

Mo Xuetao said: "If I didn't believe in your judgment, disciple, I would have removed the people who secretly investigated her. Her family background is clean, and there has been no suspicious behavior in recent days. Dean Lin does not want to mobilize the teacher, so this time They will only search the residences of the disciples to see if there are any suspicious items."

"What if I can't find it?"

"If you don't find the "Real Volume of Picking the Stars with Bare Hands" this time, Dean Lin will consider asking the Painting League to come forward and thoroughly investigate the disciples, and will not target a certain person."

Gu Qingzhou nodded and said: "Master, I understand. But I have a doubt, why after the incident in the Suzaku Painting Academy, it seems that the teachers of the five painting academies all expected that the heart-picking hand would continue to commit crimes, and the facts also developed as expected?"

Mo Xuetao said: "This involves a public case 20 years ago. The creator of "Picking the Stars with Bare Hands" is a master painter."

Gu Qingzhou was taken aback. There are no more than a dozen painting masters in the entire Doutu Continent, and each of them is already a top-notch powerhouse. Do you still need to win people's hearts?

"You should be the one who dares to attack in the Fifth Academy. You really only seek a qualification for yourself. After changing your heart, you will suffer from backlash every month?"

"Is there any other purpose for painting heart?"

Mo Xuetao said: "Chiling, Qinggen, Huangji, Platinum, Xuanhai, if you collect all these five-color painting hearts, you can refine five-color sky-replenishing pills. You can deceive the way of painting and achieve unparalleled cultivation. If this person is already a painting My lord, as long as he eats the five-color sky-replenishing pill, he can become the legendary painting saint. This five-color sky-replenishing pill also has the magical effect of living dead people's bones, which can reverse yin and yang and resurrect the dead."

"Resurrect the dead?" Gu Qingzhou thought of his best friend.

"Don't think about it." Mo Xuetao raised the folding fan in his hand, raised Gu Qingzhou's chin and said, "If you go against the sky, you will be rewarded!"

Gu Qingzhou was just thinking about it, thinking about it.He was not even qualified to listen to such a high-end thing before.

"Master, if my painting heart is used to refine medicine, does it mean that it has not been fused by someone yet, and there is a possibility of taking it back?"

Mo Xuetao put down his fan, patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Although you are my only disciple, as a teacher, I hope that this green root painted heart has been used by the heart-picking hand for itself, and it has been completely fused. Otherwise, the whole fighting There must be a catastrophe in the mainland."

This is the first time that Mo Xuetao has taken the stand of Mr. Hua so seriously, revealing the overall situation to his apprentice.

"Do you blame Master for thinking so?"

Gu Qingzhou shook his head, "I don't blame anyone, I only hate myself for being weak."

Because of his weakness, he was selected by the heart-picker as a target.

The next day, Dean Lin's new golden toad with emerald red eyes escaped from the cage.

This thing is highly poisonous and can bounce to the height of the roof, leaving venom along the way to hurt people.Wherever he passed, he could only pass through detoxification. The golden toad swaggered around in the painting academy and ran into the dormitory area. All the disciples were left in the school by the teacher to protect them.

For a whole day, when Jin Chan returned to Dean Lin's hands, a female disciple was also escorted to the meeting hall, waiting for interrogation.

When all the teachers arrived, the female painter who was in charge of looking for Jin Chan said: "Masters, I was in her dormitory, and I accidentally found a copy of "Picking the Stars with Bare Hands". Run away, I think she must be a heartbreaker, and she will be guilty of a guilty conscience!"

The female disciple's face was ashen, and she tried her best to argue: "I picked up this cheat book by accident. I just kept it because I was curious, and I didn't practice the technique above! You are wronged! I am really not a heart picker!"

"You kept this secret book privately, and you didn't report it to any teacher in the Academy of Painting, so it's not wrong to be arrested." Lin Huazun stroked Jin Chan, unfolded a blank scroll, and put it in.Anything poisonous and running away privately are obviously excuses.

The female disciple also knew that this was an action against the heart-picking hand, and she was so regretful that tears came down.Mr. Liu happened to be her nominal master, and his face turned blue with anger.

"Where were you that night?" he asked.

"It's not me, I didn't do it!"

"Where was she that night? Can anyone prove it?" Mr. Liu asked others.As for the whereabouts of the disciples of the painting academy that night, they have been secretly investigated these days.

"She didn't return to the dormitory until late that night, and her whereabouts were unknown before." The female painter took out a booklet and flipped through it with a straight face.

The female disciple argued: "I received a note that day, asking me to meet at the lake. I waited for a long time but didn't see anyone. On the way back, I happened to pick up the secret book."

"Who asked you out?"

"It's a... senior brother, but when I went to find him later, he said he never wrote me a note! I must have been a scapegoat for picking the heart!"

Everyone shook their heads. If it wasn't for greed and ignorance of such a hot thing, who would blame her?Whether it is setting the blame, it is still impossible to judge, we have to wait for the people from the Painting League to come.

Master Liu asked the male disciple's name, and asked someone to call him, and invited Gu Qingzhou, the victim of that night.

"Gu Qingzhou, was she the one who picked the heart that night?" Mr. Liu asked while tugging at his beard.

Gu Qingzhou raised his eyes and looked at the other party. His first natal spirit map had not been activated. Obviously, this female disciple did not have any murderous intentions towards him, and she was not an accomplice of the Heartbreaker.

He replied truthfully: "I don't remember. The memory of that night is vague, and I don't have any impression of her."

Master Liu nodded and asked him to go back to recuperate. Gu Qingzhou did not leave the meeting hall until Master Mo Xuetao came out.

"Master, what will happen to her?"

Mo Xuetao waved his fan and said, "Give it to the Painting League. The Painting League has a painting called "A Dream of Huangliang", and they will put her into the painting environment to experience some tests. If you really have evil intentions, you can find out when you check."

"What if she's telling the truth and just happened to pick up a cheat book?"

Mo Xuetao looked indifferently and said: "This harmful method will erase the memory after seeing it. Forcibly erasing it will damage her future cultivation. Hmph, she doesn't need to worry about her future after this matter, and she can be an ordinary person from now on. "

"..."

Gu Qingzhou doesn't sympathize with the other party, it's just that the heart-picker commits another crime, implicating others, which is really hateful.

No wonder Yun Zhixian hasn't had any abnormalities recently.It turned out that as early as the day he started, he had laid out a way out for himself.

The female disciple was taken away by the Painting League, and the news quickly spread throughout the entire painting academy. The tense atmosphere that had been suppressed for a long time was relieved, and all the painting academy disciples rushed to tell each other.

Ling Feihang broke up with him yesterday, and today he came to visit him happily.

"Senior Brother Gu, you finally got the heartbreaker! During this period of time, everyone was frightened, and now you can finally breathe a sigh of relief. I see that you are improving today, and it seems that you are better than before."

Gu Qingzhou just didn't practice painting today and didn't exhaust his energy.

He made tea for the other party and said: "The matter is not over yet. It is not known whether this person is the picker."

"Did Junior Brother Gu recall anything?" A gentle female voice made them look out the door at the same time.Yunzhi Xianlian steps lightly and comes slowly.

"Senior Sister Yun, what a coincidence that you also came to visit Senior Brother Gu!" Ling Feihang jumped up, at a loss what to do.

Gu Qingzhou thoughtfully helped him out, and pointed to the empty kettle on the table, "Junior Brother Ling, please go and bring a pot of hot water."

Watching Junior Brother Ling trot away all the way, Gu Qingzhou asked him to sit down, and said: "Although the painting alliance took her away, when I saw her, I didn't think she was the picker, because she didn't touch any of my memories of that night. The heart-picking hand may be someone else."

Yun Zhixian said in a manly voice: "Who do you think the heart-picker is?"

"On the night I was attacked, the whereabouts of some female disciples were unknown, or no one could prove where they were. I will ask the teachers to sort out the records of that day again."

Gu Qingzhou stroked the body of the cup with his fingers, and suddenly said: "By the way, where was Senior Sister that night?"

"I can't remember clearly, I must be resting alone in the room as usual." Yun Zhixian said softly.The painters are all independent, and it is difficult to track the whereabouts of the painters.She calmed down and said calmly, "If it was so easy to check that night, the painting academy would not have caught the heart-picking hand until now."

"Senior Sister is right." Gu Qingzhou echoed, "Knowing people and faces but not heart. If it wasn't for the cheat book, where would we find this suspect? If everyone writes badness on their faces, and they can tell it at a glance, there should be someone How nice? A female disciple as beautiful as a flower like senior sister must be the most innocent."

"..." Yun Zhixian raised his eyes, and cast his scrutinizing gaze on Gu Qingzhou.At this time, Ling Feihang came back with hot water.

"Senior Sister Yun, drink some tea."

"No need, I should go." Yun Zhixian got up, smoothed the wrinkles of his clothes gracefully, looked back and said with a shy smile, "Junior Brother Gu praised me for being as beautiful as a flower, and I know that I am ashamed of receiving it, I am just the most ordinary woman."

"..."

Ling Feihang shook the hand holding the teapot, looked at the expressions of the two looking at each other, and the smile gradually disappeared.

As soon as Yun Zhixian left, his face was filled with displeasure, and he questioned: "Senior Brother Gu, you know that I love Fairy Yun! Why did you...do this?"

"What you see with your eyes may not be the truth. How do you know that I am not in love with her?"

"You...you?"

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I don't like her. As I said yesterday, she is good at disguising, so you should be careful."

Ling Feihang was at a loss, unable to understand what was going on now.

"Then why do you still praise her for being beautiful?"

Gu Qingzhou's moist eyes flickered, looked to the side and said wronged: "If I say, it was Senior Sister Yun who first praised me for my good looks, which made her feel itchy?"

"what?"

"I, Gu Qingzhou, know that the willows look like pussy willows. I look forward to autumn and fall. I am not worthy of the beautiful and flowery Yun Zhixian. Who knows that she will be angry just after she finished speaking." Gu Qingzhou smiled, "Junior Brother Ling, you Trust me, or trust her?"

"..."
