Doutu Continent

Tao Huazun's kind reminder.

Since the discussion that night, the time has come to the third day in a blink of an eye.

It was a sunny day, and the biting chill brought by the cold wind in the past few days was offset by the warm sun.

This is a rare good weather.

The servants of the palace began their day's work as usual.

The two maids carried the food box to the residence of the ancestor of the palace family, which contained a carefully cooked breakfast.The best resources of the palace are given priority to Gong Huazun. There were many maids and servants in her Qingxiu area, and there was a special small kitchen to cook delicious food for her nearby.However, since Gong Lingyan retreated, the ancestors prevented people with short-sightedness from affecting Lingyan's practice, so they didn't need to be served by others. The maids brought three meals a day, and other people were not even allowed to enter the courtyard.

The two maidservants came on time as usual, and they saw a stern and tall figure standing in front of the door from afar.

The cuffs and front are trimmed with vermilion, which is gorgeous and eye-catching on the plain clothes, like flames dancing in the snow, but the person dressed in this dress is not as hot and violent as the other fighters in Chi Ling Painted Heart, nor is he The patriarch of the Gong family is reminiscent of blood splattered on a cold corpse.The flame belonging to Gong Shuo has just the right temperature for people.

Since Gong Shuo became the official head of the family, he is no longer as cold as before, but the servants of the Gong family respect him even more, maybe because they can no longer figure out his thoughts.

"Patriarch." The two maids saluted Gong Shuo, showing their best side with some care, even their voices were three points softer than before.

The owner of the house is young and handsome, his cultivation level is far beyond that of his peers, he has not yet married, and there is not even a bed warmer in the room.They did this not in the hope that Gong Shuo would notice them and be included in the house, but in the face of the handsome young Patriarch, no one wanted to lose their composure in front of him.

"Give me the food box." Gong Shuo said indifferently.

"This……"

"Patriarch, this is the job of slaves. If you don't do it well, you will be punished." The two maids wanted to please him, but they didn't want to die.The usual sternness and majesty of the ancestors of the Gong family made them hesitate in a dilemma, but they dared not let go.Gong Shuo's indifferent expression has grown impatient.

"If anyone asks, just tell me what I ordered." Gong Shuo showed the majesty of the head of the house and ordered, "Put down the things and step back."

"Yes, servant girl obeys." The two girls chose to obey and put down the food boxes in their hands.

These two food boxes are large in size and not light in weight, which made their hands red.

Gong Shuo opened the lid of the food box and commented: "So rich? Is Lingyan going to retreat again?"

"Yes, the ancestor ordered that only breakfast is prepared today, so there are more varieties than before."

"Well, I see, step back." Gong Shuo waved his sleeves, and the two maidservants saluted again.

One of them respectfully said: "After the servants return, they must report to the steward that they met the Patriarch."

This is the process, everything follows the rules, and they don't have to take responsibility if something goes wrong.

"En." Gong Shuo nodded, expressing that he understood.

Seeing that the Patriarch didn't stop them, the two girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and both left quickly.At this time, they couldn't care less about being immersed in the excitement of "meeting" the head of the family by chance, and they couldn't care less about Shen Gongshuo's outstanding appearance.

Compared with the shadow brought by the ancestors of the Gong family, they, as small people, do not want to be involved in the undercurrent of the Patriarch and the Palace Painting Master.

Gong Shuo looked indifferently at the backs of the two girls leaving, and when they disappeared from sight, he opened the other food box as well.

Open the lid, and there is a cup of porridge inside.

Gong Shuo stirred gently with a porcelain spoon, and the smell of porridge made people have an incomparable appetite.He had planned to put them all in the badge, but changed his mind when he smelled the scent.

On the other layer of the food box, there were cakes with the same attractive aroma on the exquisite plate. Gong Shuo crushed a piece and threw it on the ground. Several domestic birds landed on the ground and ate the food crumbs without hesitation.

They are used to being fed by people, and they are very skilled in eating in front of people.

Seeing them pecking happily on the ground, Gong Shuo's face became serious.

As the owner of the house, he is very sensitive to the inconsistency of the taste of the food in his mouth. During this period of time, his family has not changed the cook, which can only mean that there are other things in it.

As a painter, his physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people. Even because he is in the position of Patriarch, he has to face dangers that ordinary people cannot meet. tricky.

Those greedy little birds gradually became immobile under his nose.

Gong Shuo remained silent, even his expression didn't change, until he heard footsteps coming from far and near, the middle-aged artist walked towards him with an angry look on his face.

"Uncle Shi." Gong Shuo called out.He patted away the cake residue in his hand, and the corner of his mouth lightly curved into an expression that could barely be regarded as a smile, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. "You came sooner than I expected."

"Gong Shuo, what are you going to do with the ancestor's breakfast! Are you afraid that the ancestor will be angry if you miss the meal?" Gong Shouye asked in panic when he saw that the other party touched the breakfast in the food box.

This made Gong Shuo conclude that the other party was involved.

"If you really send these breakfast meals to the ancestors and Lingyan, you will be angry if you eat something wrong, Gong Shouye?" Gong Shuo said.The other party should have called him Patriarch, but he called him by his full name, so he didn't call him Uncle Shi anymore.

"What's the problem? Are you doubting me? I have always been loyal to my ancestor!"

"Then do you dare to take a bite?" Gong Shuo said coldly, "In front of me!"

"..." Gong Shouye was speechless for a moment.

"Gong Yan." The young patriarch called out, and the second-rank Huajun who was called by name appeared without delay.Without Gong Shuo's instructions, he had already taken the initiative to force the pastry and porridge into Gong Shouye's mouth, forcing him to swallow it.

How can a middle-aged painter be an opponent of a dignified painter?He rolled his eyes so stuffed that the food was almost stuffed into his throat.

When he was released, Gong Shouye bent down and covered his throat, trying to spit it out.Although they didn't make much noise, how can they hide from the divine sense of the ancestors of the Gong family at such a close distance?

In the past at this time, the ancestors would definitely stand up for him, making big things small and small things small.What's more, everything he did this time was following the orders of his ancestors.

But this time, the ancestor of the Gong family did not make a sound, when he needed it most.

The yard was unusually quiet, as if there were no residents at all, Gong Shouye realized that something was wrong.

"You..." He still wanted to say something, but the effect of the medicine had knocked him down first.

The middle-aged painter staggered, closed his eyes and collapsed.If it wasn't for Gong Yan to support him, his head would be knocked on the stone.

"Patriarch, what should we do with him?" Gong Yan asked.

"Murder the ancestor, lock him up first. Interrogate him when I have time." Gong Shuo calmly ordered.

Gong Yan showed a hearty smile. He had long thought that this villain was not pleasing to the eye, but he knew in his heart that it was impossible for him to harm his master with the level of dog legs in front of the painting master, but not only the ancestors lived in this house, but also What about Gong Lingyan?

With the physique of a young girl who has just become a painter, without special training, she must not be able to resist the erosion of toxins.Gong Yan looked at the middle-aged painter with even more disgust.

Gong Shuo put two food boxes full of supplementary breakfast into the painter's badge he was wearing, picked up a small bird with two claws facing the sky on the ground, pressed it in his hand, and combed its hair.

Probably because of his heavy movements, the bird that had fled to the street in the eyes of others actually kicked its paws, showing signs of waking up.Although he was still struggling to stand still in Gong Shuo's hands, he had indeed begun to regain consciousness.

"It's not dead!" Gong Yan said in surprise.

"I'm not going to die." Gong Shuo smiled lightly, "There are medicines in the food that will make you fall asleep."

"Ah, that's it?" Gong Yan said in a disappointed tone, but quickly showed embarrassment. How could anyone wish for something bad?If these added things were given to the ancestor of the Gong family, he would only applaud if there was any problem, but the owner's own sister lived in the yard.He wondered: "When did you find out that something was wrong with him?"

"Just found out." Gong Shuo said honestly.

"Then you brought me here suddenly today, isn't it to arrest him? Wasn't it because you received some news?" Gong Yan, who is Hua Jun, was full of doubts.

"I didn't receive the news in advance. I came today just to stop them from delivering breakfast inside." Gong Shuo said frankly.

"The more I listen, the more confused I become."

"Mr. Yan just needs to understand that today is very important to Lingyan. I'm just afraid that they will disturb the people inside." Gong Shuo said.Both the ancestor and Lingyan have been trapped in a dream and have not woken up.

If everything goes well with Palace Master Fengyun and there are no problems.

As for what Gong Shouye did, he could roughly guess why the other party did it.Even death row inmates can still enjoy a hearty guillotine meal before they die.

In fact, Gong Lingyan is already a painter, and usually eats more than ordinary people, but when he can't eat normally, he won't have any problems if he goes hungry for two or three days.After today is over, it is not certain that she is still the real person.

The ancestor was afraid that the other party would be hungry, so he didn't let the other party sleep for a long time since he fell asleep last night, and gave him a delicious meal.From this point of view, the ancestors really took good care of Lingyan's body.

Gong Shuo glanced back at the closed gate of the palace patriarch Qingxiu's courtyard, his eyes became more determined.

Asking Gong Yan to escort the unconscious middle-aged painter away, Gong Shuo walked with him for a while and then took a side road to another courtyard that was not often visited by people.It used to be the place where Gu Qingzhou was imprisoned, and it was rebuilt on the original site after it completely collapsed.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around, the person who destroyed half of the palace's buildings was now personally invited back by him, and he also brought strong foreign aid. This time, he wanted to destroy the palace's Dinghaishenzhen.

At this moment, Ye Mofan and Tao Huazun were both staying in the room, observing a scroll hanging on the wall.

An invisible barrier was set up around the courtyard, Gong Shuo walked in without a sound, and no one in the room was surprised by his appearance.If it wasn't for Tao Fengyun to let him go, Gong Shuo wouldn't even be able to enter the door.

When he arrived, the soundless and invisible barrier closed, blocking off a world.

Gong Shuo's eyes fell on the picture scroll. Unlike three days ago, the picture in the picture is no longer limited to Gong Lingyan's boudoir, but a well-drawn top view of the building, with only small dots marking the location of the living people.

This is exactly the result of dreaming during this period of time.

While Gong Shuo was staring at the picture scroll, Tao Fengyun took the initiative to say: "In an hour, the scorching sun will be in the sky. For a Dou Tushi with a red spirit, it will be an auspicious time to come once in sixty years. Gong Huanyan I have already fallen into the dream that my deity wove for her, and I can't tell what is reality and what is illusion. Of course, in order to ensure everything is safe, the fairy in the painting has also contributed a lot, and you will be able to see him when you follow me into the dream."

He showed off his brilliant achievements in front of the two young men, and couldn't stop smiling.

Gong Shuo questioned: "There is no change between today's picture scroll and yesterday's. Does it mean that yesterday's dream has been completed? I read the family's classics, and there is a record in the book: the person who manipulates the dream can also manipulate the time in the dream. Zai—although they are not the same, they have something in common, I guess, this is the essence of Huangliang Yimeng, right?"

Gong Shuo found something suspicious, until now, he still can't fully trust Tao Huazun.

If time can be manipulated, it means that Gong Lingyan can get out of danger earlier.

Tao Fengyun shook his head with a smile and said: "What we do, the right time, the right place, and the people are indispensable. Although the dream can manipulate time like a white horse passing through the gap, Gong Huanyan, as a master of painting, can communicate with the world and perceive Until the arrival of her own destiny. She has instinctive omens for her auspicious day, so it is the best choice not to startle the snake and let time synchronize in reality and dream."

Tao Fengyun explained with a good temper. "Choose the most accurate time to do it. Even if she realizes that she has escaped from the dream, the auspicious time has passed. It will take a few months to choose such a suitable day. Of course, I will not let this happen, because This deity's title of 'Number One in the World' represents—I am victory."

"The auspicious time is approaching, we need to prepare to fall asleep in advance." Ye Mofan reminded, now is not the time to argue.

With the fairy in the painting helping him in his dream, he is not worried about his own safety.However, Tao Huazun's next sentence was about the danger of this trip.

Tao Fengyun said: "It's time to go to sleep, but before being pulled into the dream, the deity has to confirm it again. Are you all mentally prepared to take risks and even die?"

The two young men looked at him at the same time, feeling that the other was going to make trouble.

Tao Fengyun calmed down, put his hands behind his back, and kindly reminded: "This is not a play, and even this deity cannot guarantee your safety, because this is Gong Huanyan's 'Huangliang Dream'. The main body, the dream that revolves around her. Although both Youzhi-kun and I have the ability to control the dream, when she realizes that it is a dream, the dream will backfire and will no longer be completely under our control. She will want to break free, And the only way for her to break free is to kill everyone in the dream. Because she doesn't know who is manipulating her dream, who is pretending to be in the dream, and what identity is arranged."

As Tao Fengyun talked, he finally couldn't suppress his joyful expression: "So you guys still want to participate?"

Gong Shuo resolutely said: "I have no choice. I can only feel at ease when I see my sister escape with my own eyes. So I will join, but Ye Mofan, I hope you don't come."

"It's up to you. I'm not a palace family member, so you can't order me as the patriarch." Ye Mofan said coldly.Obviously caring, but using unkind words to say it. "Even Palace Master Fengyun wants to see the inheritance process of the painting master. How can I miss it? Besides, Senior Gu is still maintaining the dream inside. He made a mistake, and I can't explain it to Gu Qingzhou."

"Tsk!" Tao Fengyun made an unintelligible sound, and did not pick off the opponent's vest.

Ye Mofan's participation was actually not only because of his uncle Hua Zhongxian, nor because of his confidence in his own strength. He also had a reason that he couldn't explain to others-his friend Xie Chunfeng obtained the inheritance of the painting saint, but encountered many obstacles.He wants to accumulate experience this time, hoping that when he encounters similar difficulties in the future, he will not be completely clueless.

Tao Fengyun saw that the two young people present had no intention of quitting, nodded and said: "I have already said the ugly words before, this is the worst outcome. Of course, you can also be completely safe. Realize that she is in a dream, as long as she doesn't wake up. You see, as long as you master the method, things are so simple."
