Doutu Continent

Mingxiu plank road, dark Chencang.

Far away in the west of the Baijing Academy of Painting, Dean Jin squeezed the letter paper in his hand and laughed, but the laughter was exasperated.Wearing a holy and dusty white clothes on his sturdy body, there is no elegance, only upright and rigid.

The resolute lines of his face, even when he smiled, were fierce and terrifying, and his eyes shone with a cold light.

"The teacher of the entire painting academy was played around by a little girl, and let the heart-picker run away! Dean Lin has been a giant in the painting circle for too long, and he forgot how he got the top spot in Qingyun Painting Academy? Grab the heart-tipping hand, immediately destroy Huixin, break off the limbs, and then reason with her."

A middle-aged man with an excellent temperament stood beside him, covered his face and said, "Dean Jin, after all, the Academy of Painting is a place for teaching and educating people. How can lynching be carried out? If outsiders know about it, it will affect the enrollment in the next year."

"Fart! As long as Lin Huazun sits in the Academy of Fine Arts and has a living gold-lettered signboard, he still has to worry about not being able to recruit disciples? I think he is a righteous giant who has been working for a long time, and he has become too soft-hearted because of his reputation! Forgot to form the Jagged Art Troupe back then , he is easier to kill than me! Not a good thing!"

The middle-aged man who is the vice-principal, with an old mother's face, complained: "Dean Jin, please keep your voice down! Although we don't have to worry about not getting disciples, but we have a better reputation and can attract high-qualified disciples, what do you say?" Isn't it? You forgot how Xie Chunfeng ran away back then?"

"As soon as I talk about that kid Xie Chunfeng, I'll get angry!" Dean Jin said angrily, "He has such good aptitude for platinum painting, if he doesn't come to my Baijing Academy of Painting to focus on training, he must go to Qingyun Academy of Painting. Now he is lost in Wuyan Mountain I don't know whether he is dead or alive, if he chooses the White Court, the deity will accept him as a disciple, and he is still alive and kicking now."

"Principal Jin, with your temper... are there still few disciples who have been expelled by you these years? It's really not unusual to be your disciple."

Dean Jin was annoyed, and reflected: "It's not that you don't know my temper. That's why I have entrusted the Academy of Painting to you for management these years. However, if the heart-picker of the Youth Academy directly breaks the limbs, how can he escape? "The True Scroll of Picking the Stars with Bare Hands" spread everywhere? Although Lin Huazun destroyed all the cheat books on the spot, the Painting League took away 27 disciples who had privately collected the "True Scroll of Picking the Stars with Bare Hands". Come on, I lost all my face at once, who doesn't see his jokes in other painting academies?"

Although Dean Jin is also a part of the joke, but it is more because of the past friendship that it is not worthwhile to feel sorry for the other party.

The two were talking when the envoy of the Painting League arrived.

After exchanging pleasantries, Dean Jin said: "The heart-picking hand you described, the deity has removed his limbs and joints, and is locked in a dark room, so he can't escape. Take him away."

The envoy saluted and said: "Thank you, Dean Jin, I have a merciless request this time. You must have received the news about the incident at the Qingyun Academy of Painting, right? The heart-picker was actually arrested before he was arrested in order to get rid of suspicion." , The disciple who framed others with "The True Scroll of Picking the Stars with Bare Hands" and picked up the secret book, but greedily hid the secret book and did not publicize it to anyone. Therefore, what Leader Lin meant was to check all the disciples of the Fifth Academy, except for checking the school, The residence also needs to check the personal items in the artist's badge. The situation is serious, and please understand Jin Huazun, and it will be convenient."

Dean Jin nodded in understanding and said: "Since the five courtyards are investigating together, I will not embarrass you, so I will make it easier for you. But if nothing is found, when you leave, for the sake of the academy's reputation, I will interrupt you every step of the way." , Do you think it is acceptable to shock and apologize to the frightened disciples?"

The envoy paused in saluting, then gritted his teeth and said, "This is what it should be. Leader Lin once explained that Jin Huazun's reasonable requests should be followed."

"Okay, Master Lin's command is well-mannered, which I admire." Dean Jin was taken care of. Although his style of speech was still tough, it was also convenient for others.

"This deity is also well-mannered. I believe that apart from the lurking heart-tipping hand, the other disciples of the White Court dare not report what they know."

A day later, the investigation results came out, and he was slapped in the face.

Dean Jin crushed the wine glass, and said angrily: "Ming repairs the plank road, and hides the old warehouse. Good, very good! This deity and the person behind the heart-picking hand are not at odds! Qingyun Painting Academy only took away 27 people, and our academy actually has 32 people." People have wolfish ambitions, hiding secret books! This is to attack someone from the same school! Pass the deity's order, all 32 people will be expelled from school, and will never be hired! The list will be circulated to the other four colleges!"

Fortunately, the Painting League was vigilant and found these people, but how many potential heartbreakers will the Fifth Court find in total?Thinking of the number of people, Dean Jin felt extremely chilled.

He let go of the crushed wine glass in his hand, looked in the direction of the bitter cold place, and said coldly: "It has been 20 years, Mr. Cui Huazun, you have been refreshing for a while and created "The True Scroll of Picking the Stars with Bare Hands". Such a day?"

On the other side, in a place of bitter cold, this is not a place specially used by the Painting League to detain prisoners.However, the Painting League built a cell here 20 years ago, which was only used to detain one person.The person imprisoned is a painter.

In the past 20 years, this place has been extremely deserted, but today it has become very lively. There are constantly young people wearing the uniforms of the five painting academies, with gray faces, being taken here and detained in batches.

Leader Lin condescended, stepped on the dusty floor, came to the bottom of the prison, and looked at the people inside.

The detainee was disheveled, dressed in ragged clothes, barely covering himself, sitting motionless in the middle of the cell, with his back turned to him.Who would have thought that the person imprisoned here turned out to be a painting master?

Leader Lin said: "I know you don't want to be disturbed by others, but these people have all studied "The True Book of Picking the Stars with Unarmed Hands". Here, close to you."

Leader Lin spoke sarcastically, but the people inside seemed to be dead, motionless and indifferent to everything outside.

But League Leader Lin knew very well what the people inside looked like. They used to be close friends, and their relationship still hasn't changed at all.

"Unexpectedly, I haven't seen it in 20 years. The jade-faced painting Zun Cui Shiyu, who was so amazing and so beautiful back then, fascinated so many people, has now turned into the look of a down-and-out beggar. Remind Shiyu, brother Cui, you are responsible for what happened back then." Guilt, I trapped myself here as a prison, and self-destructed my heart. It’s a pity that good fortune tricks people.” He paused, “You and I thought the situation was over, but "The True Book of Reaching for the Stars with Unarmed Hands" appeared again, everything you did What's the use? You shouldn't have created this harmful secret book back then."

20 years ago, the young painter reminded Shi Yu that he was resourceful, rigorous, and well-mannered. He was a real pillar of integrity. Everyone thought that he would become a painter who hadn't been seen in 200 years. Who would have expected it? , this promising painting master created a vicious "Picking the Stars with Bare Hands" and became a heart-picker. He single-handedly led to the destruction of the five major painting families and countless elites.

When it was found that he was the real culprit, everyone couldn't accept it and couldn't believe it.

Leader Lin still feels tightness in his chest when he recalls it to this day.

"When you became famous back then, it's understandable to go back and take revenge on your enemies who destroyed your family when you were young, but the methods were too cruel. You thought you were noble, and just to torture your enemies, you insisted on creating a heart-breaking hand, and even more so because of your amazing talent, write down The follow-up method of painting the heart to refine alchemy. Now that the secret book is in the world, hundreds of disciples from the five major painting academies have been implicated. It caused this catastrophe, and you, the source of everything, are still indifferent?"

The people in the cell finally responded.He hadn't spoken for a long time, his throat was hoarse, and he could barely hear clearly.

"I'm just...a useless person, what's the use of you talking about this...with me?"

Leader Lin showed a confident smile at the corner of his mouth, took a step forward, and said closer to the other party: "I'll come and see you, the heartbreaker, and then I'm going to find the real culprit behind this time. If you catch him , I’ll send it here to be your companion. If you don’t get it back, we’ll say goodbye forever.”

"I don't like... the excitement, people... all, take, go. You go, it's dangerous... no."

"You are just a prisoner, do you also want to order a dignified leader of the Painting League? I will not agree to you!" Leader Lin tilted his head and refused.

A tall man with such an appearance is not cute at all, but he continued to be disgusting, "I discussed with Dean Lin of Qingyun College and deliberately let go of a heart picker. We did it to her." Mark, I have her whereabouts, do you want to know? Oh, it seems that I don’t want to know.”

"..." The people in the cell were silent.

Leader Lin threw a scroll into the prison cell. The scroll rolled to a place three meters away from the people inside, touched a place of light, and stopped.

"The ground is a prison." Leader Lin called out Guang Dun's name, "You lock yourself here, and you can't atone for your sins. As long as the cheats appear in this world, as long as the heart-picking hand is still active in Doutu Continent , you will always be the object of others' disdain."

Being pointed at the nose and scolded, the people inside remained unmoved.

Leader Lin didn't wait for the answer, so he smiled and said, "Although you destroy your heart, you are also the creator of the heart-picking hand. I brought you so many hearts, each one is evil, and each one is evil. Guilty, if you want to go out, it's not difficult to pick one at random. Although the security here is heavy, how can a painting master be trapped?"

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving all these potential heart pickers in this prison.

That night, Cui Shiyu mysteriously disappeared.

Leader Lin was not distressed at all when he received the news, and asked his subordinates: "A master of painting, how can we trap him? He used to be a prisoner, and he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Now that he has run away, how can I trap him?" But what about him? By the way, whose painting heart did he take away?"

"No one picks it up, President Lin! Urge Hua Zun's painting heart to repair itself! Do you want to send someone to chase him?"

"Don't chase... Let him go dog-eat-dog." Leader Lin said resolutely, stroking the center of his brow, "I made a mistake, I forgot that he is Qinggen Eixin, and after 20 years, he can grow back."

The subordinate was embarrassed and said: "Leader Lin! If you don't chase him, you should at least chase the others back, right? Otherwise, how will you explain to outsiders?"

"Others? Who did he take away?" Leader Lin asked in surprise.

"Take everyone away." The subordinate said.

"..." Leader Lin supported the desk beside him, feeling dizzy.Reminding Shi Yu to play a big game, even he can't handle it.

"Being set up by him to urge Shi Yu, the plan is very rewarding! Now that I have caused trouble, I can only take the blame and resign."

After Lin leader finished speaking, he took off the golden crown on his head, and let loose his long gray hair.

"The leader is tired after working for so many years, let's change from now on."
