Chapter Twelve: Thieves 4 [I implore you
() Liu Jibei laid his eyes on the painting called "Tiger, Leopard and Birds of Prey", and saw that there were tigers, leopards and birds painted on the scroll. Although he didn't know what was going on in the painting, he could see the scenery in the painting.
It was extremely expressive, and he knew in his heart that this painting was definitely not ordinary. He couldn't help but think of it.
His eyes slipped to the place where the signature was signed. After seeing it clearly, he felt a sudden thought in his heart and said to himself: Sure enough, it was written by a famous artist. Gu Kaizhi was a master of calligraphy and painting in the Jin Dynasty. He was known as the three masters of poetry, painting and calligraphy, especially painting. Today, he is the best in painting.
It was a worthwhile trip to see his masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
After Liu Jibei finished reading the painting, he began to search everywhere, thinking: Where could Yu Wenhu put the memorial? There are only books here, and there is no trace of the memorial anywhere.
He wandered around the study for a long time, but couldn't find any clues about the memorial. He thought: It was already more than half past the fourth watch. If he couldn't find the memorial again, he would have to give up tonight, otherwise some maids would be there at the fifth watch.
It's time for the mother-in-law to get up and do some work. If she is caught, it will be more harm than good.
Liu Jibei turned to the "Picture of Tigers, Leopards and Birds of Prey" and inadvertently pressed his hand on the painting. Suddenly he felt that there seemed to be a gap where his palm rested. Feeling confused, he came to the painting and lifted it up with one hand.
At first glance, the picture scroll revealed a door. Suddenly
If he suddenly realized something, he thought: It turns out that Yu Wenhu set up a dark room in the study. After he arrived in the study, he must have entered the dark room to discuss things with Dugu Kai and Kang Junan who were hiding inside. No wonder I can't hear it outside.
A little noise.
Liu Jibei pushed open the door behind the painting and walked in cautiously. He saw that it was completely dark inside. He quickly took out a fire stick and lit it. When he looked at it, he found that there was something going on inside.
The layout of the darkroom is relatively simple. In addition to a high chair and a desk, there are several brocade piers, and there is also a painting "Drawing on Mount Lu" by Gu Kaizhi hanging on the north wall.
Liu Jibei thought to himself: It seems that Yu Wenhu liked Gu Kaizhi's paintings very much, otherwise he wouldn't have hung two of them in his study and darkroom.
He wandered around in the darkroom, looking around with his eyes, but he couldn't find anything like paper in the darkroom. He couldn't help being disappointed, thinking: It seems that Yang Zhong and Da Xiwu were wrong. Yu Wenhu
I didn't put the memorial in the study at all.
Liu Jibei had no choice but to look up at the painting hanging on the north wall and wondered with luck: Could there be a mechanism behind this painting?
Thinking of this, he came to the painting, got behind it, and couldn't help laughing. It turned out that there was really a different world behind the painting.
The entire painting covered a hole in the wall. Liu Jibei put his upper body into the hole, took a photo of the fire folding piece, and found that there was actually an abbot's room inside.
There is a bed and a futon in the room. There is a box at the head of the bed, and a black Taoist robe hangs on the wall behind the box.
Liu Jibei arrived in the square room and unknowingly smelled a sour smell. He looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he went straight to the box, bent down and was about to check, and suddenly found several
The mouse jumped out from under the bed, quickly passed by the box, and ran towards the entrance of the square room.
He saw the rats squeaking and trying to jump up to the edge of the hole. However, since the edge of the hole was more than two feet high from the ground, the rats could not get up. In the end, they had to divide into two teams of varying numbers.
He shivered and hid in the corners on both sides of the cave entrance, looking extremely panicked.
This was the first time Liu Jibei saw such a scene, and he thought to himself: Yu Wenhugui is Otsuka Zai, why are there so many mice in the study? It's really strange.
He had no time to think too much and continued to check the box. He saw that the box was locked, so he quickly took off the "Wang Ba" sword and cut open the lock with just one stroke. Then, he put away the knife, opened the box, and took a look Looking at it, I couldn't help but feel elated. It turned out that the box was filled with documents.
Liu Jibeizai carefully flipped through the documents and found a memorial signed by Yang Fu. He took a look at the date on which the memorial was issued, which coincided with the date on which Yuwen Shenju and others set out. , knowing that he had found what he was looking for, he put the memorial away. Just as he was about to close the box, he caught a glimpse of a pile of letters bundled together.
He casually picked up the pile of letters and flipped through them. He saw that the signatures of the first few letters were Yin Zhenggong, Hou Longen, Hou Wanshou, Liu Yong, Yuan Jie, Yuwen Qianji, Yuwenhui, Chiluo Xie and Feng Qian. , there are four letters bundled at the end, three of which are signed by Yu Wenxian, Hou Zhi and Yu Jicai respectively, and the last one has no name.
Liu Jibei once heard Yang Jian say that Yin Zhengyi, the Hou brothers and others were regarded as close to Yuwenhu. Now that he saw the letters they submitted to Yuwenhu, he thought to himself: I wonder what these people said to Yuwenhu in private. What, now that the letter is in front of you, you might as well take it with you and refer to it when you get back.
Thinking of this, he put all the pile of letters in his arms.
Liu Jibei closed the box and accidentally took another look at the Taoist robe hanging on the wall. Seeing that it was extremely worn, he couldn't help but feel puzzled and thought: Yuwen Hu must be a good Taoist, otherwise how could he hide it in the secret room? Taoist robe? But for a man as wealthy as he is, wouldn't wearing this Taoist robe look shabby?
While thinking about it, he came out of the square room, then passed through the first dark room and returned to the study. At this time, the gong of the fifth watch happened to be heard outside, and he secretly said: The time is just right.
Then, he hurriedly tried to walk out of the study door.
Before Liu Jibei could reach the door, suddenly, a voice sounded in the study: "The donor left in such a hurry, does he have a guilty conscience?"
Liu Jibei was suddenly startled. He quickly followed the sound and saw a person standing quietly in the northwest corner of the study. This person was wearing a star crown and a feather coat. His face was very ordinary, and his body was slightly tall and thin.
Although this person was about two feet away from Liu Jibei, he could already smell a faint sour smell coming from this person, and he suddenly realized that the darkroom in front of him was obviously the one in front of him. Residence.
Liu Jibei was very surprised. There was no sign of when the man in front of him came to the study. He even had no idea when he was standing next to him. This shows how skilled this man is.
Liu Jibei calmed down, took a deep look at the man, and said, "Since he is a thief, how can he behave openly? If he doesn't rush to leave after getting the thing, wouldn't he be a stupid thief?"
Seeing that what he said was interesting, the man couldn't help but feel a little happy, and casually sighed: "You are a very honest thief. With your temperament, if you put down what you have gained and just leave on your own, it will not be difficult for you as a poor fellow." Already."
Liu Jibei also sighed: "The Taoist has a good heart, can you tell me his name?"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand in front of his mouth and nose very naturally, then took a step back, then put down his arm and waited quietly for the man to speak.
The man saw Liu Jibei's behavior, smiled and said: "I am a Taoist from Qingcheng who has strong training, but because of my lack of appearance, everyone calls me a sloppy Taoist."
Liu Jibei thought to himself: It turns out that he is the magical Taoist Qiang Lian mentioned by Yang Jian. Just because he can be in the same room with me without being noticed by me, he must not be underestimated.
Liu Jibei shook his head and said: "How can you go into the mountains and return empty-handed? It took me a long time to find what I was looking for. If I just gave up like this, I would be really unwilling."
Qiang Lian stared at Liu Jibei for a while. Although his eyes were extremely peaceful, he seemed to be able to see through the black handkerchief on Liu Jibei's face, which made Liu Jibei clearly feel that there was something strange on his face, and he couldn't help but feel horrified.
Thought: This is the first time in my life that I have encountered such a substantial look. The eyes are the organs and apertures of human beings, and the essence of the internal organs.
From this point of view, the pupil is the core of the eye orifice, and is also where the essence of the five internal organs gathers. It can be a window that reflects the rise and fall of the essence of the five internal organs and the constant changes in its functions. The essence of this person's eyes is restrained and deep, so he should be a big man.
A powerful person, with him blocking me tonight, it is really impossible to escape safely.
Just listen to Qiang Lian say: "I can see that you, the thief, are also a persistent person. In this case, Pindao will not say more. If you can pass Pindao, there will be no more people in this house."
I can keep you."
Then, he sighed again: "Tonight is the time for me to worship and fight. I have been waiting sincerely for most of the night, but I haven't waited for the True Lord Beidou to show up. I was extremely depressed and didn't want to fight with others. I didn't expect that he was actually in the residence.
I saw the thief, God’s will is so, there is nothing I can do!”
As Qiang Lian spoke, he took out a whisk from behind his back and continued to speak calmly: "You are a very popular thief. I think you have some abilities, but I don't dare to rely on you. But to tell you the truth, I am capable of this."
The cultivation on the fly whisk is pretty decent, but you have to be careful."
Liu Jibei felt puzzled for a while, and thought to himself: This sloppy Taoist is really serious. He is about to fight someone, but he actually tells people that he is very good at martial arts and tells them to be careful. This is very rare.
He glanced at the whisk in Qiang Lian's hand and found that it was not much different from the whisk used by ordinary people to drive away mosquitoes and flies. The only difference was that the handle of the whisk in Qiang Lian's hand was made of iron and the end was cone-shaped.
It's very sharp.
In fact, after Liu Jibei saw Qiang Lian take out the fly whisk, he secretly became more careful.
As far as he knew, the whisk was a unique weapon of Taoism. Very few people used it, and it was extremely difficult to practice. Without the strong internal Qi as a support, it would be extremely difficult to use the whisk well.
As the saying goes, "He who holds a whisk in his hand is not an ordinary person."
The whisk has been mastered to a wonderful point, which can be said to be both soft and hard. It opens and closes tightly; it dances like a horse flying in the air, free and elegant, flashing and jumping, flexible and changeable.
The movements of the whisk are mainly chopping, wrapping, pulling, shaking and sweeping, and have the characteristics of swords, swords, whips, ropes and other weapons. When practicing the whisk, it is necessary to combine the form with the mind, the mind with the energy, and the energy with the spirit.
