Chapter 58 second quarter

Time: At the beginning of noon, at two o'clock (according to today's time, it should be eleven thirty in the morning). Location: Unknown Villa, Chongtongxuan. Ning Xin'er raised her head, shining like a star, and asked the third young master, "Is that painting in your hand?" The third young master said: "Not bad." Ning Xin'er said: "I want to see the mystery of that painting." The third son said: "This is Prince Gong Zhao's privacy, you can't see it, you can't see it." Ning Xin'er curled her lips and said: "You can see it, why can't I see it, I want to see it, if you don't let me see it, I won't let you live in peace." After finishing speaking, she hugged the pipa to her chest front, ready to play.

The third son's scalp was numb, and he said: "Okay, but after you read it, you must keep it absolutely secret, and you must not tell anyone. Everyone will inevitably make mistakes when they are young, and he should be given a chance to correct it." The third son took the scroll wrapped in yellow silk, and said, "You have to be mentally prepared not to be shocked by the characters on the painting." The scroll unfolded slowly, and Ning Xiner only looked at the painting After taking a look, he couldn't help screaming, his whole body was hairy, and he was very uncomfortable.

The painting style of this painting is Su Hanchen's consistent delicate and precise. The people in the painting are delicate and lifelike, as if they are alive in front of their eyes.The painting depicts a woman, but it is by no means an ordinary woman. This woman is a tragedy of fate and a mockery of God. Just looking at her facial features, this woman can be called a peerless beauty, with big and charming eyes, a small nose, and plump lips. .However, on her face, like an animal, it was covered with soft golden down.On her exquisite body, the golden hair is more abundant. She is a witch, more like a monster who came out of mythology.But looking at her expression, she was actually very happy, and her smile also revealed sweetness and satisfaction. Only a woman in love can have such an intoxicating smile.Ning Xin'er was dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a long time.

The third son asked: "What do you think?" Ning Xin'er said: "How did she grow up like this? It's really pitiful. Her appearance looks like a human, but her body looks more like a beast. I was almost scared to death by her. Who is she?" The third son said: "She is a tragedy. She was doomed to an unusual fate from the moment she was born. She cannot show her face in front of people like ordinary daughters, marry and have children. She is a woman who is half human and half beast. If my guess is correct, she should be Taotie's daughter. So after I promised not to let anyone hurt her, Taotie can suffer death calmly."

Ning Xin'er couldn't accept such a bizarre thing all of a sudden, she even stuttered a bit, even she didn't know what she wanted to say, she said: "She... how she... Taotie... Zhao... how meeting?" The third son smiled tolerantly, and said: "You must think it's incredible, right? But as long as you straighten out the cause and effect, you will find that no matter how unbelievable or unbelievable things, there are actually reasonable ins and outs." Ning Xin'er said impatiently: "Tell me quickly." As a girl, she already had a wonderful sympathy for the woman in the painting.

The third young master said: "I didn't think too clearly about this whole thing. Most of the time, I was just guessing. When I go to Prince Gong's mansion tomorrow, I hope the whole thing can come to light." Ning Xin'er said: "You can tell as much as you know, I don't want to be whetted by you." The third young master sighed and said, "Okay, I'm going to talk nonsense, and you just listen to it. Do you still remember that when we were playing on the Su Causeway last time, you saw a boat in the middle of the lake. Afterwards, I asked Bao Wen to go After checking, it was found that the boat belonged to Prince Gong's mansion. The boat had contact with Taotie in the middle of the lake, and the people on board should be no strangers to Taotie. They seemed to have had a dispute, but Taotie did not hurt them, and It is to let them return to the voyage safely. With the gluttonous bloodthirsty temperament, unless there are its relatives on board, otherwise it has no reason not to kill the delicious human flesh delivered to the door.

"And Su Hanchen's last painting was painted at the invitation of Prince Gong's Mansion. As we all know, Su Hanchen's paintings of ladies are famous all over the capital, and they are unparalleled in the world. He can only be regarded as a second-rate painter at best for his paintings of other themes. Therefore, the person who asked Su Hanchen to paint in Prince Gong's mansion must be a female family member. Now that the painting is in front of me, it proves that my guess is correct. According to the regulations of this dynasty, all princes should be transferred from the capital after they reach adulthood. The edict is not allowed to return to Beijing, so as not to cause a situation of fratricide in the fight for the throne. After King Gong became an adult, although the queen was extremely reluctant to give up, but the legacy of his ancestors must not be violated, King Gong was released from the capital and named King of Dali. Boating from Dali After crossing the Jinsha River, one arrives at the mysterious and mysterious Miaojiang.

"A few days ago, I kept thinking about where did Taotie come to the capital. It couldn't have fallen from the sky, and it couldn't have come out of the ground for no reason. I came from the capital. I suspect that this place is Miaojiang, where the mountains are unknown how high, the water is not deep, and the forests are not big. Discovery is the only way to survive to this day. Although King Gong is the king of Dali, he has no real power and no government affairs. Nothing happens all day long, and the mysterious Miaojiang across the river must fascinate him. The ominous scenery is very different from the beautiful and picturesque scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. I believe that King Gong must have been to Miaojiang. Miaojiang has been a barren land since ancient times. There is not a unified dynasty, but divided and occupied by multiple tribes, and the king of the tribe is the chief. I have an absurd and even whimsical idea. The woman in this painting is probably after Tao Tie and the local Miao girl. Produced. As for why Prince Gong likes the women in this painting, I guess the thing is this, the women in Miaojiang are born to release Gu, just like the women in Jiangnan are born to embroider. When they see the man they love , will plant the Gu into the man's body through various methods, and from then on the man will be loyal to her and love her to death. And Prince Gong accidentally fell into the Gu planted by the woman in the painting .”

Ning Xin'er interjected: "Is there such a strange thing in the world? I also want to find Miao Nu to get some Gu, plant it on your body, so that you will like me more and more from now on, obey my words, bow your head and stick to your ears. " The third son said: "Gu is only useful to ordinary mortals, am I a mortal? Of course not, I am a god, these Gus are useless to me." Ning Xin'er said angrily: "Seeing how anxious you are to defend yourself, don't you really want to like me?" The third son smiled wryly and said: "Okay, after you learn how to release Gu, I promise you, I will let you release it on me to your heart's content, you can release any kind of Gu you like, as long as you want to let me play Just let you stay for as long as you want."

Ning Xin'er smiled happily and said, "That's about the same, you can continue with the story." The third son said: "Every woman in Miaojiang knows how to release Gu, and I think this woman in the painting should do the same. A scene like this appeared in front of my eyes: One day, the young and handsome King Gong Zhao, with a golden fur and a horse, was in Hao Surrounded by a mighty entourage, he crossed the Jinsha River and came to Miaojiang to hunt hawks and enjoy the scenery. Excited, he walked farther and farther, and reached the depths of an unknown dense forest, just in time to be seen by the woman in this painting. This woman is also at the age of the beginning of love, when she suddenly sees a well-dressed and elegant figure from the Central Plains, she immediately has a secret heart, and her love is silent. But she is also worried that the young man in front of her will not like her, so she treats Prince Gong Zhao He made a secret trick, when the woman in the painting appeared in front of him, not only would he not be frightened by her appearance and body, but he would think that she was a descendant of a celestial being. Immediately, the two fell in love like glue and could not be separated. That's how it happened.

"Later, Zhao secretly brought her back to Dali. Not long after, the emperor wanted to select a prince to inherit the supreme power of the entire empire after a hundred years, so he ordered him to be recalled to the capital, and Prince Gong couldn't do without her." This woman. Moreover, if he leaves the woman before the Gu is released, within three days, he will die. "Anyway, Prince Gong secretly brought the girl back to the capital without telling everyone else. And this woman is the real flesh and blood of Taotie. Although Taotie is ferocious by nature, he is the biological father of the woman in the painting after all. He is reluctant to let his daughter leave I have arrived in a foreign country thousands of miles away, so it quietly followed Prince Gong's convoy all the way. In this way, after a month's long journey, Taotie also came to the capital on the day that Prince Gong arrived in the capital, and committed a crime in the capital. A series of bloody and brutal murders. "In fact, I have asked Bao Wen to mobilize the files of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to collect the murder cases that occurred across the country some time ago. Coincidentally, on the thousands of miles from Dali to the capital, more than a dozen murder cases occurred one after another. The above also coincides with the itinerary of King Gong's convoy. The shape of the deceased is roughly the same as that of the people who were killed by gluttony in Hangzhou City. They were all torn into pieces, and some of their flesh and blood disappeared. Blood, Taotie can reach the capital all the way." The third young master closed his eyes, let out a long sigh, and said: "There is God's will in the dark, and everything is intertwined. A bad relationship has killed so many people. It's just pity for those who died in the mouth of Taotie." innocent souls." After a while, Ning Xin'er saw that the third young master's face softened, and said: "When you come to Prince Gong's mansion today, what is your plan other than returning the painting to Prince Gong Zhao?" The third son said: "This evil relationship has already involved dozens of innocent lives, and it's time to end it. Besides, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. One day, this secret that Prince Gong has painstakingly concealed will be discovered by others." , and then make it public to the world. At that time, I am afraid that there will be another bloodbath, and the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain, the sooner it is over, the better." Ning Xin'er said: "However, if you want to end this evil relationship, you must get rid of the Gu that Prince Gong is in. You have never been to Miao Jiang, how do you know how to get rid of the Gu?" The third young master said: "Although I don't know how to do it, I know there is one person who can." "who is it?" "Uncle Meng." Ning Xin'er laughed loudly, and said, "Uncle Meng? He is deaf and dazzled, and even walks staggeringly. Can he dispel Gu? I don't think it's a problem to dispel his hands." The third son said sternly: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense. You must be virtuous. Although Uncle Meng is a servant, I have never treated him as a servant. You should respect him more. Uncle Meng was in the world The feared demon king, known as the non-poisonous and light-weight Meng Wudu, is very powerful. There is no poison in the world that he does not know, and there is no poison in the world that he cannot cure. He was addicted to drugs and lived in seclusion in Miaojiang for more than 20 years. Over the past year, it was to find out the mystery of how the Miao people released Gu. In terms of releasing Gu and dispelling Gu, he has learned the true teachings of Miao Jiang, even those iron-blooded wizards in the Miao Jiang tribe, I am afraid that they will be willing to bow down in front of him." Ning Xin'er opened her eyes wide, and couldn't help being awed by that Uncle Meng who hunched over all day long and only knew how to sweep fallen leaves and serve tea.She said: "Uncle Meng is so powerful! How could he serve you willingly? He also has to be angry with me for no reason from time to time. I can't help but feel afraid when I think about it. If one day he is not happy, he will casually serve you in my meal." Put some poison in it, I'm afraid I don't even know how I died. Oh, I will never touch anything that Uncle Meng has touched in the future." Seeing Ning Xin'er's flustered look, the third son could not help but smile, and said, "Look at you, you are not calm at all, you hear the wind is rain. If Uncle Meng wants to kill someone, he doesn't need to touch anything at all. , he can even kill him with poison just by looking at him." Ning Xin'er became even more frightened, and said, "What should I do?" The third son smiled and said: "You don't have to be afraid, Uncle Meng won't poison you, you can rest assured, you can still do whatever you want, eat and drink as you want." Ning Xin'er said: "I still don't dare, I'm afraid." The third son said: "Uncle Meng is loyal to me and treats you like his own daughter. Think about it, even a beast like Taotie would not hurt his daughter, how could Uncle Meng hurt you? " Ning Xin'er tilted her head and thought for a long time before she said: "You are right. If he wanted to harm me, he would have done so long ago. From now on, I must treat him well and respect him like you do. Make him unhappy, and he won't harm me." The third son said: "If Uncle Meng heard your words, he would be so happy from ear to ear." Ning Xin'er said: "He couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, he is so old that even his teeth are about to fall out." The third son said: "Look at you, just now you swore to be nice to Uncle Meng, but now you can't help but want to hurt him." Ning Xin'er pouted, and said: "I know I was wrong, after many years I can’t change my habit all at once. Can Uncle Meng really undo the Gu that Prince Gong Zhao is suffering from?” The third son said: "I have confidence in Uncle Meng." Ning Xin'er put her hands on her chin, stared at the front in a trance, and said sadly: "Actually, this is really a very romantic love story. I really can't bear you to ruin such a beautiful story. Could it be that Prince Gong and the picture on this painting Can women really not stay together?" The third son said: "Although I can't bear it, it's good for both of them to end it earlier. After all, they live in different worlds, and they are destined not to have a happy ending." Ning Xin'er asked melancholy: "However, if Prince Gong Zhao suddenly wakes up and finds that the person he loves to death is a half-human, half-animal woman, will he be able to accept it? He will treat that poor woman again. How? And that poor woman has lost her father, and then lost her beloved man. Wouldn't she be heartbroken? She is already so pitiful, and God has been unfair enough to her. " The third young master rubbed his hands and said, "This decision is really painful. But, is there any other better way? Anyway, I can't think of it." Ning Xin'er said: "After separating from Prince Gong, where can this Miao girl go? You won't kill her like you killed her father, right?" She suddenly raised her voice, became excited, and said: "Cao Xiaosan, I don't allow you to kill her. If you dare to kill her, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life. She didn't make any mistakes. A woman, in order to make her beloved man like her, no matter what method she uses They are all worthy of forgiveness. Besides, she didn't know that she would cause such serious consequences because of her own mistake, so who can choose her own father?" The third son looked at Ning Xin'er tenderly, held her little hand in his own, and comforted her: "Of course I won't kill her, and I have no reason to kill her. I think the best ending is to kill her." Send her back to where she came from, to Miaojiang where she was born and raised, and to those simple and innocent Miao people who don't think she is strange or ugly. She shouldn't appear in the Central Plains again, otherwise it will only bring her More and greater misfortunes. However, I don’t know whether it is right or wrong to intervene in other people’s lives and change their fate without their consent.” Tears welled up in Ning Xin'er's eyes, and she said faintly: "She is so pitiful, maybe she shouldn't have fallen in love with Prince Gong Zhao at all. But, who can fall in love with can be decided by oneself?" He said to the third son The hug got tighter.She suddenly felt that just cuddling together like this was already a great gift from the heavens, and who knew whether people in love could stay together forever.May the lovers in the world get married in the end, after all, it is just a beautiful wish.Perhaps, what you can grasp is just a short moment in front of you.
