Throne of Radiance

It was a scroll of paintings that looked quite delicate. The two ends of the scroll exposed outside were glowing with pure black color, and there were unknown patterns engraved on it, which seemed to be some kind of unknown flowers.

Xie Biao suddenly remembered the origin of this painting.

—It was their last order, from a small collector.Originally, what they were going to grab was the antique vase from the previous dynasty in the other party's hands, but seeing that the painting looked pretty good, they snatched it together.

According to what the little collector said before he died, he didn't know whether the painting was real or not, and which dynasty it came from, but he found it on the black market by accident. It's extraordinary, it shouldn't be a fake, so I took a gamble.

This painting is the purpose of the other party?

If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have led the sheep...

Xie Biao suddenly regretted it.

But at this moment, he obviously couldn't afford to waste time regretting. He stared closely at the young man who was focusing on the scroll, and saw that the young man was rubbing the scroll motionlessly, as if he wanted to find every possible damage, his eyes were extremely focused, It seems that he has forgotten everything around him, and he has also ignored Xie Biao, a living person.

The long-haired youth slowly unfolded the scroll.

"Great opportunity! It's now!"

Behind him is the open door of the collection room. The inner air is circulating rapidly and gathers under his feet. Xie Biao kicks hard on the ground with his feet, and his figure defies common sense. flee outside.

At this moment, his movements were as fast as lightning, even faster than Jinghong.

But before the joy of escape emerged, his expression changed drastically.

The door that was close at hand began to melt at some point, and the square door frame melted round and round, as if turning into a chocolate-colored donut. With the door frame as the center, the ceiling, walls, tall red sandalwood cabinet, and There is a square booth near the gate, including the unfinished decorations on the booth, and the deep red carpet on the ground, all of which are melting rapidly, like a large lump of colorful paint mixed together, being constantly stirred out Circle and circle of colored swirls.

And he who flew out of the door rushed into the vortex, and his body seemed to melt uncontrollably, flowing towards the center of the vortex...

"No—" The internal energy of the whole body exploded in the meridians, and the blood in the blood vessels surged crazily. Xie Biao was struggling almost desperately, but it seemed that another force came to his body and dominated him. Let every inch of his flesh and blood melt into paint, cheering and throwing himself into the colorful vortex.

Xie Biao saw that his twisted arms were deforming, and every finger was dripping like paint, melting together with the melting ceiling, melting walls, and melting carpet.

He saw all the melted things flowing towards the colorful vortex, and the paint in the vortex flowed slowly, drawing a huge picture scroll in his sight.

In the living room illuminated by the dim light, in front of the dining table full of delicacies, there are more than a dozen figures sitting around. Their outlines are blurred, and their figures are dyed by various colors of paint, exuding a kind of distortion and nothingness from the inside out Only the blurred face filled with hot tears made people feel the enthusiasm from the heart.

And the person sitting at the main seat is neither black nor white, just a nothingness outline.

Beautiful, warm, harmonious, and happy, the overly warm atmosphere almost flows out of the painting, and it seems that there are vocal music and sounds in the ears, making people think that they have seen the holy scene of heaven.

And how wonderful it is to be a part of this heaven and be a part of it if I have the honor to paint such a heavenly scene!

Unparalleled longing rose in his heart, and the struggling expression on his face slowly relaxed, turning into a comfortable smile.

He felt his body falling down in constant melting, as if he had fallen into that painting, appeared on that long dining table, and became a member of this heavenly scene.

At the same time, the person sitting on the main seat slowly raised the knife and fork, and the circle of diners sitting around the dining table suddenly melted like the paint on their bodies, and the dishes on the table also melted, and the melted paint slowly melted away. trickle to the table...

"No, no, I don't want—!"

At the end of the melting, Xie Biao woke up suddenly!

During the violent struggle, his body that was about to melt into a ball of paint seemed to have finally sensed the existence of inner energy. Xie Biao almost desperately mobilized the inner energy deep in the paint.

It was as if firecrackers were being ignited, and the continuous crackling sound exploded from the man's blood vessels, and the self-explosive internal energy exploded all over his body, but the man seemed not to be aware of the pain, and laughed ecstatically, as if a prisoner finally Break the chains on your body and get rid of the imprisonment!

Xie Biao is really relaxed now.

The colorful vortex moved away from him, and the melting of his body stopped.He felt the existence of his limbs again, accompanied by bursts of severe pain all over his limbs.

Paint splatters, pain and relief mixed together, pounding each other in the head.Regardless of everything that happened around him, his head was almost muddled by the chaotic emotions, and all the information he received was chaotic.

He vaguely heard countless painful groans, panicked screams, and maniacal laughter.There were his own and others', voices of strangers and those of acquaintances.

……

An Xiaoxi felt as if she was dreaming.

In the dream, a group of ferocious gangsters broke into their house, not only trying to take away all the collections, but also trying to kill people.

At a critical moment, she plotted against them with the help of the strange object Chengyuan Sword. She succeeded in subduing the two hostages with her little friend whom she had just met, but because her grandfather's life was seized by the gangsters, she had to confront him and procrastinate. time.

Just then, a strange stranger appeared.

Not long after his arrival, the atmosphere in the originally tense collection room changed unknowingly. The precautions, vigilance, and worries in her heart dissipated at some point. When she saw the stranger chatting friendly with the gangsters, she couldn't help but want to reveal Smile.

... How warm and rare it is to have a time spent together between friends who have been reunited for a long time!

Even the two hostages who were subdued by them seemed to have forgotten their situation, and no longer thought about resisting or escaping. Peaceful, stable, and joyful expressions slowly floated on their faces.

An invisible warm breath wafts through the collection room.

An Xiaoxi slowly retracted the hand holding the sword, and Ji Hengjiu and his sister also let go of the hand controlling the woman with the high ponytail.

However, the robber who was let go did not take the opportunity to escape, but sat on the ground, letting out a regretful sigh.

They are ashamed of their robbing ideas of getting something for nothing.Even more, An Xiaoxi and the others were moved by their kindness.

The kindness between people is the most cherished treasure in the world, and they will never let this kindness be disappointed.

The two originally hostile parties did not know when to put down their weapons and sat side by side against the wall, as if they were warming up by the fire side by side in the cold winter, enjoying the rare warmth and tenderness.

They sat side by side like that, watching the long-haired youth take out a picture from the encyclopedia with peaceful faces.

The moment the picture scroll unfolded, it seemed that the light of heaven shone on everyone.

An Xiaoxi seems to have returned to the time when she was young. The family sat in the living room watching TV, listening to her mother's nagging complaints, and her father's warm palm on her shoulder...

Shi Cheng felt infinite power gushing out of his body, he shouted "Sword Come", and then the divine sword was unsheathed, and carried him to Qiongbiluo and down to the loess...

It seems that all the beautiful fantasies in the world are realized at this moment.And all the violence, killings, disputes, suspicion, vigilance, and hatred between people have all dissipated like smoke and dust.

There seems to be a magical power that infects everyone's minds.Robbery is not worth it, fighting is not worth it, the ultimate happiness in the world is peace, tranquility, and everyone loves each other.

Until the maniacal laughter pierced the eardrums, and the sword sounded suddenly.

The Chengyuan sword in her hand was trembling crazily, as if encountering an existence she couldn't resist, she could only remind her master in this way.

"call……"

An Xiaoxi woke up suddenly, subconsciously grasping the sword in her hand.

She stared at the familiar collection room in a trance.

No, it's not a dream!

In the collection room at this time, a group of people sat on the ground in a mess, some were crying, some were laughing, and some were as quiet as chickens.

For example, the Ji brothers and sisters were lying shoulder to shoulder in the corner of the wall, as if sinking into a sweet dream, and the corners of their mouths were about to leak out.And Xue Hao and Shi Cheng were laughing and laughing there, staring at the front without moving, not knowing what picture they saw.

The robbers around were roughly divided into two categories.

The first category is similar to Xue Hao and others, all of them look in a trance, smile on their eyes, and have a peaceful expression, as if they have become Buddhas;

The other type is laughing maniacally and frantically, playing with their "body art" by themselves.Several people were fighting together with red eyes, as if they were desperately fighting against their sworn enemies. Their hands, feet, and even their teeth had become their weapons. Even though they had been beaten to a pulp, they were still fighting tirelessly. .

The surrounding booths had already been knocked down to the ground, and several antiques fell down with a crash, which made An Xiaoxi feel distressed for a while.

At the gate, the heads of this group of robbers were even more tragic. One arm broke off the ground at some point, and the wound seemed to be ripped off.But he lowered his head unconsciously, biting the fingers of the other hand frantically, like a beast losing his mind.

Bright red flesh and pale bones smeared around him into a strange painting, from which a strong smell of blood emanated.

"Ouch..." The impact of the picture was too strong, how could An Xiaoxi have seen such a battle since she was a child?There was a burst of retching.

"Huh?" It seemed that her movement alarmed another person here, and she was the only one still standing in the collection room.

——The mysterious long-haired young man stood in the center of the collection room from beginning to end, silently admiring the scroll unfolded in his hand, as if he didn't care about everything that happened around him.

At this moment, the other party finally turned his head to look at An Xiaoxi.It seemed that she was surprised that she escaped from that weird atmosphere.

His eyes flicked over the bronze dagger in An Xiaoxi's hand, and the young man named Joey showed a faint look of surprise: "So that's the case, is it because of this sword..."

He looked away uninterestedly.

Then, he rolled up the painting slowly.

He turned around and was about to leave, as if the purpose of coming here was for this painting, and he didn't care about everything else.

"..."

An Xiaoxi behind her looked at the back with complicated eyes.

There were too many questions in her head, she wanted to open her mouth to stop him, but the weird scene around her made her feel lingering fear.

This mysterious transcendent is obviously not a good person.

Just when she was struggling in her heart, someone spoke for her.

"That, wait a minute!"

An Xiaoxi turned her head in surprise, and found that Shi Cheng had woken up without knowing when, and had yelled out as soon as she opened her eyes.

He got up from the ground without hesitation, and without even thinking for a second, he ran after the figure who hadn't stopped, and shouted: "Please wait!"

An Xiaoxi was dumbfounded when she heard a vague voice coming from the corridor outside the collection room——

"Well, you must be a powerful transcendent, right?"

"—Please accept me as a disciple!"
