Doutu Continent

He is no longer the brother Jin in my impression.

Gu Shanlou managed to tell the dark history of his youth, but who knew that his son had such an expression.

He frowned slightly, and said desolately: "I didn't do it on purpose. That day, there happened to be my favorite sweet-scented osmanthus rice wine glutinous rice balls in the dining hall of the painting academy. I choked after eating two bowls, and was taken to the flower sea of ​​the painting academy. After walking all the way... then... I explained it to him at the time, but he didn't believe me at all."

Gu Qingzhou supported his forehead and said: "When encountering such a thing, no one would believe it!"

Gu Shanlou's eyes were gloomy, and he fell into the memory. He remembered the time when he was young and frivolous, and his eyes flickered: "Later, he left the painting academy and went to study in the West. He said that he would break up with me from now on, and if we meet again, he will be an enemy! I haven't heard from him for so many years. I thought he had forgotten the absurd things in his youth, and he would not come back after living abroad. Who knew that not only did he come back, but he also joined the Fengyun Mansion and became a painting master—a guest under Tao Fengyun's command."

Tao Fengyun is the top powerhouse in the Doutu Continent, with both good and evil characters, he only acts according to his heart and does not reason.The Fengyun Mansion he founded has three thousand diners, and the people who join the Fengyun Mansion are notoriously difficult to deal with because they are backed by Hua Zun.

"Son, I'm afraid this matter can't end well." Gu Shanlou showed a trace of worry, "I was injured in the battle with him this time, but I lost to him because of my lack of strength. He didn't beat me to death because he wanted to kill me." He wants to continue to torment me. He put aside his words, and will come back to the competition after I recover from my injuries. He wants to slowly settle the harm I did to him with me, and he will never let it go until one side completely collapses! Sigh—"

When Gu Shanlou said this, he coughed a few times, "I didn't expect him to be such a narrow-minded and stubborn person! I didn't regret not agreeing to him back then, and I don't regret it now. It's just that I'm afraid that he will come here, not only It's because of my enmity with me back then, and there is another purpose."

"What purpose?" Gu Qing asked in surprise, "Father, what else did you do?"

Gu Shanlou was silent for a moment, and said: "This kind of thing is enough once, how can I do it again? It's just that I see him again this time, and he is no longer the brother Xiao Jin in my impression. He looks at me. The eyes are full of calculation and hatred. I just received his duel post, and you were attacked by the heart picker. You need wood attribute treasures to repair the heart. The timing of his visit is too coincidental. It's related, it's to plot against our Gu family's thing!"

Gu Qingzhou was surprised, and didn't understand what his father was talking about.What can his Gu family have to make people join forces to plot?

As soon as Gu Shanlou thought of that thing, he said proudly from the bottom of his heart: "As the saying goes, there are still three thousand nails in a broken ship. Although my Gu family has never produced top-notch experts, it has a deep foundation. When I was young and ignorant, I first heard about it. There is a treasure at home, so I couldn't help but want to show off, and I mentioned it to him, although I just assumed what would happen if I owned that treasure, there is no guarantee that he will not take it seriously."

"Father, what treasure does our Gu family really have?" Gu Qingzhou couldn't believe it.Although the Gu family is a family of calligraphy and painting, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but when he was a child, he was chased and spanked for wasting a few pieces of paper. Now it is said that his family has a treasure, isn't this really teasing him?

"It's not just a treasure, it's not an ordinary treasure. The way of painting originated from the allusion of painting the finishing touch. I don't need to go into details, right? As the ancestor of painting, Zhang Sengyou, where did the finishing touch pen go after he painted? Have you ever heard that mentioned?"

Gu Qingzhou's heartbeat intensified, and the four treasures of the study carried by ordinary painters can be improved for many years.The things used by Hua Jun and Hua Zun can become treasures after being carefully cultivated for a lifetime.Then the brush used by the painter, as the beginning of everything in painting, is of course extraordinary.

"Father, you don't mean to say that the treasure of my Gu family is the finishing touch pen?" Gu Qingzhou couldn't help but suspect that his father was not only injured, but also fooled.

"Son, I know you don't believe it. If this word is spread outside, no one will believe it! But my enemy knows me well and knows that I can't talk nonsense, so I'm worried that he will believe it. Although I didn't lose anything, but at the same time, too many things happened one after another, which made me have these associations." Gu Shanlou sighed.

He took out a book, handed it to Gu Qingzhou, and said, "About the finishing touch pen, it's not that it's completely missing. There is a story about the five-color magic pen in "The Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty."

Gu Qingzhou opened the ancient book, and one of the pages was bookmarked, which was "Lian Guang".

Gu Shanlou is so familiar with this story that he can tell it with his eyes closed, "It is recorded in the book that a man named Lian Guang was given a five-color brush when he met a god while collecting medicine in Mount Tai. Anything can become alive, and the gods want it to be kept secret. Lian Guang, an ordinary person, used this brush to paint again and again, causing disasters and being imprisoned. He was also inspired by the gods and drew a big bird to escape. The god-man took his brush back, and Lian Guang could no longer paint."

Gu Shanlou finished speaking in one breath, panting for a while and said: "The five-color pen mentioned in the book is the five-color finishing pen used by Zhang Sengyou back then. Lian Guang, an ordinary person who has no desire to paint, can summon There are more than a hundred ghost soldiers, drawing dragons and calling the wind and rain, possessing the strength that can only be possessed by the strong in the Doutu Continent. Do you think this thing is a treasure? Is it tempting?"

Gu Qingzhou couldn't help breathing and said: "Is this five-color finishing touch pen the treasure of my Gu family?"

Gu Shanlou nodded and said: "Although I don't know why my Gu family obtained that pen, the Gu family has kept the secret of this five-color finishing pen for generations. The ancestors of the Gu family were afraid that future generations would get this treasure, and they would not make progress and cause trouble. , so there is an ancestor's precept: Unless someone in the Gu family becomes a master of painting, this brush should not be allowed to appear in the world."

"Every man is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. I understand this truth." Gu Qingzhou understood.But the Gu family's ancestors probably didn't expect the Gu family to wither and the descendants to be so unlucky, right?

Gu Qingzhou subconsciously looked at the badge on his chest. Although he became an artist, when he didn't use emoticons, he was probably the artist with the lowest level in the painting world.

Gu Shanlou was silent for a while, letting the other party digest what he just said, and said again: "After you were injured, I have been hesitant to use this thing to repair your heart, as long as it is not allowed to appear in the world, is it not a violation? Ancestral precepts? After all, my Gu family is not prosperous, and I have encountered such enemies. If I stick to the ancestral precepts, I am afraid that the family will be destroyed. But I am also afraid... from the time you were decapitated, it will be a war against my Gu family conspiracy."

Gu Qingzhou said solemnly: "Father, no matter if it's a conspiracy or not, the whereabouts of this five-color finishing touch pen must not be leaked. Just pretend that the Gu family does not have this treasure. As for my lost painting heart, I will find a way myself!"

"Ahem—you are a painter, what can you do? Unless leader Lin can find the mastermind behind the scenes, but even if you catch the mastermind behind the scenes, can you guarantee that you will find your painting heart?"

"I……"

"Okay! Your father is not a person who is good at making decisions. I will give you the right to choose. It doesn't matter if you go to get the five-color finishing pen, or you don't have this matter. No matter what decision you make, I will support it. This matter also Remind me. While I am still alive, I will tell you this secret now, so that it will be passed on, so that it will not be broken in my hands. Son, come here quickly."

Gu Shanlou beckoned to his son.

Although Gu Qingzhou disapproved of his father's downcast and pessimistic thinking, he still put his ears together and listened to his father's small but clear words.

"Haunting Village..."

After Gu Shanlou finished explaining, he leaned back on the soft cushion on the couch, coughed weakly and said, "Did you remember?"

Gu Qingzhou nodded firmly, and then Gu Shanlou rested on the couch to recuperate.

Gu Qingzhou tucked the corner of the quilt for the other party and said: "Father, after you said this, you haven't told me the name of the enemy who injured you! My son will meet him in the future, so he should be careful."

When Gu Shanlou mentioned this enemy, he said with lingering fear: "This person's name is—Jin Jiang."

Gu Qingzhou resolutely said: "I wrote it down!"

Gu Shanlou nodded, with a serious expression, took a sip of the ginseng soup to suppress his cough and said, "I called you back this time, but there is actually one more thing. It's about your marriage."

"My marriage?" Gu Qingzhou was taken aback, it was too sudden, he always had a bad feeling, he always felt that his father had confessed the secrets of the Gu family this time, and mentioned his marriage, as if something would happen at any time .Is it urgent enough?

Gu Qingzhou's finger touched the badge on his chest, he had an emoji as his trump card, and another identity, Ye Mofan, could escape at a critical moment.Even quickly gaining fame and improving strength is far easier than others.

"I still have to study in the painting academy, and I don't want to get involved in marriage so early." Gu Qingzhou resisted. If he relied on his father in everything and had no concern for the other party, would he go to extremes?

Although he understood that his father was not that kind of person, he was still afraid in his heart.

Gu Shanlou rubbed his drowsy head, and said: "It's not what you think. I didn't let you marry someone so soon, but to tell you that my Gu family not only got into trouble with the diners of Fengyun Mansion, but also got into a lot of trouble." It's your affair!"

He looked at Gu Qingzhou carefully, admired and said sadly: "It's all because I gave birth to you so well that others coveted you."

"Father, what's going on?" Gu Qingzhou was confused by the other party's attitude.

Gu Shanlou sighed and said: "There used to be a family of painters who had a gap with our ancestors because of the relationship between men and women, and they hadn't communicated for a hundred years. A few days ago, they suddenly wrote a letter, wanting to restore the old relationship, and discussing the marriage of the younger generation. As for how to discuss, Father doesn't know either, but in the past two days, someone will come to visit. With the current situation of the Gu family, I'm worried whether the other party has received any rumors that they are here to take advantage of the fire to rob!"

Gu Qingzhou immediately thought of the cold and biting man he met.Asked: "Is it the Gong family?"

"You've heard of the Gong family?" Gu Shanlou asked in surprise.

Gu Qingzhou nodded, took out the warm jade from the painter's badge and rubbed it in his hands: "A few days ago, I met someone from the Gong family in the painting academy. An outsider. I went to ask Master on purpose. Counting the time, it was after the meeting that you received the letter, Father."

"I'm afraid the Gong family had an idea before that time?" Gu Shanlou is not stupid, the actions of the Gong family reminded him of many things in an instant.He looked at the warm jade in the opponent's hand and said, "Good thing, but the Gong family is too strong. I haven't agreed yet. Who is not an outsider with him? I'm afraid the person who came to propose marriage this time is not kind. His family practices ruthless painting, Gu Youzhi, who is the most hopeful of my Gu family to bring the finishing touch to the world, has been lost in his family's hands, and now he still wants to harm my son!"

Gu Qingzhou is not afraid of things, as long as his father is a sensible person, he will not worry about becoming a needless victim because of his parents' orders.

Originally, he refused the marriage, but now Gu Qingzhou relented and said: "The one who should come will always come, you might as well listen to what they have to say about the marriage, so as to find out whether the Gong family and Fengyun Mansion are colluding."

"Troublesome autumn, is it really a catastrophe for my Gu family?" Gu Shanlou became weaker and exhausted physically and mentally, "There are many diners in Tao Huazun's Fengyun mansion, and he won't stand up for every diner. If he offends Jinjiang, he will at most call out to his friends My friend came to trouble me. But I offended the Gong family. The female painting master who is in charge of the Gong family is not so easy to deal with. The Gong family is more difficult than Fengyun Mansion."

He was looking for an analysis of the stakes, and suddenly there was the sound of silk and bamboo not far away.It's not ethereal and melodious, but mixed with women's laughter and male and female voices. Gu Shanlou almost didn't bring it up, and said disgustedly: "It's started again!"

"Father, what's going on?" Gu Qingzhou only heard a few times before his face flushed red.The sound came from the house next door.Not only are there women's promiscuity, but he also heard men's screams mixed in, it's really unbearable!

"It's Jinjiang!" Gu Shanlou said through gritted teeth, "He bought the house next door and painted a picture of "Portraits of Brothels and Chu Pavilions". It's a miasma!"

It is said that it is the whole street, but in fact there are only two big houses here, and the only ones that can be affected by the other party are the adjacent Gu's family.

Gu Shanlou skillfully opened a painting, which was a picture of night covering the sky.After the dotting was activated, the voice from the next room was temporarily blocked, but his face became paler than paper.

"Too much deceit!" Gu Qingzhou turned around suddenly and was about to go out.The behavior of the villain on the other side was clearly to humiliate their Gu family, and also wanted to make his father unable to concentrate on recuperating.

Despicable, nasty!

"Come back! What are you going to do?" Gu Shanlou coughed anxiously, "Your father can't even beat him, are you going up to die?"

"I just went to say hello to my neighbors, don't worry, Dad!" Gu Qingzhou explained.

He took out the emoticon pack from the badge.His finger is on it, ready to trigger at any time.

【Let you feel sad.jpg】

Now he has found a target to try!

The author has something to say:

I originally named the villain Jinxuan, but suddenly thought, why not Jinjiang!When I update, I still have a date list with Jinjiang for a second, so...

I don't have any artificial list this week, but the update will not stop, don't worry!

Let’s take a look at the story of the ancient version of the magic brush Ma Liang:

The chapter "Lian Guang" in "The Strange Events of the Tang Dynasty".

Those who are honest and broad are also from Lu.Because the medicine was collected in Mount Tai, when it encountered wind and rain, it stopped under a big tree. When I met a hermit, he called Guang and said: "I can paint, and I can serve the king's law. I have a pen with you, but it is hidden. That is to draw at will. Psychic." He took a five-color pen from his bosom and gave it to him.After thanking him widely, the man suddenly disappeared.After that, he was quite experienced, and kept secret without speaking, and dared not draw lightly.Later, in Zhongdu County, he was invited by the county magistrate to paint. He painted more than a hundred ghost soldiers on the wall, as if they were going to fight.Guang fled in horror.Going to Xiapi, the order of Xiapi also ordered Guang to draw a dragon. The brush was so talented that the dragon immediately rode up the clouds, causing torrential rain that lasted for days.The county magistrate suspected that there was sorcery.Guang Yu howled in the prison, and the gods and men in the night dream revealed that it was a big bird in the secret painting, and it flew away with it, until it came down to Mount Tai.Seeing the god again, the man said: "It is inherently difficult to let your words out in the world. This is a small sum with you. If you want to bring blessings to you, but you will cause disaster yourself, you should see it back." Guangnai explored the pen in his arms Return it.God can't be found, Guangyin can no longer paint.
