Chapter 94: What is invading the river? Who is acting wild in front of the door?
Zhou Yong used his strength and threw the paper money towards the door.
The strange thing is that the paper money danced in the air and did not fall to the ground!
At the same time, Mr. Mo sang the God-Inviting Technique, and the paper money stagnated for a moment, then flew out the door.
"Come to the door!"
Zhou Shi listened to the order and quickly lifted the door panel from the ground, closed it, and held it firmly against it with his body.
There was a huge force from the other side of the door panel, as if a giant hand was pushing it!
However, this strength only lasted for a few seconds and then disappeared immediately. Zhou Shi's body also relaxed and collapsed on the ground.
"Hoo, ho—Old Mo, what on earth is this..."
Mr. Mo slowly came out of the state of praying to the gods, counted with his fingers, and said: "At three o'clock in the morning, everyone, you can't stay in Jiangdu tonight, try to stay as far away from the river as possible."
The second half of the sentence was addressed to the ghosts. They were frightened and rushed through the door panel. Suddenly, only the ghost that suddenly broke in was left in the store.
Zhou Shi didn't care whether they paid or not. He stood up with his hands on the ground and found that his clothes were already wet. Looking at the ground again, water seeped in from the crack in the door and accumulated a thin layer at the door.
With a straight face, he walked towards the ghost who had not recovered from the fear and asked:
"What did you provoke?"
Mr. Mo waved his hand and said, "Do you think he can talk? Go and stick these two talismans by the door, and then pour him a cup of Yin wine."
The ghost was obviously a middle-aged man, but he was as frightened as a three-year-old child. He squatted on the ground, wrapped his arms around himself, and tremblingly muttered something.
Zhou Shi came back from outside and heard clearly that he was chanting the same name over and over again:
"Empress Xu, Empress Xu..."
Lady Xu!
Folklore around Dajiang is about the goddess Xu who once killed the evil dragon Pingjiang!
Zhou Shi felt a chill running down his spine. He looked carefully at the man's appearance. He had strong muscles and dark skin. Could it be that he was...
"Why, are you scared too?" Mr. Mo felt Zhou Shi's face change and asked with a strange eye.
He told Mr. Mo the story he heard from Xu Xianghai.
"Ms. Xu... I have never heard of it. If it is the earth god around the river, he will have such a way." Mo Lao pointed to the water on the ground and said, "That is indeed a thing that comes out of the water, and it is quite good.
Awesome."
Zhou Shi knew that the busy work he and Mr. Mo had just done, both dancing and spreading paper money, had only caused the thing to eat up and retreat temporarily.
"It's no use guessing like this. We still have to ask him." Zhou Shi rushed to the shivering ghost hiding in the corner and said, "Looking at the posture, it doesn't look like he will be able to recover in a while. What will happen after dawn?"
"Like Xiao Lin, seal them up first and then release them at night."
Zhou Shi nodded, cleaned the store, and went back to rest on a yellow beam pillow.
Now, his monument-opening hand is close to half complete and can display its true effectiveness.
After waking up, he dug out a stone the size of a pickle jar that he had picked up yesterday, placed it on the kang, and struck it out with one palm.
The stone broke into countless pieces and turned into an Arhat!
This is the true power of the Monument Opener. At the moment when the palm is released, the internal force is poured into the target, allowing it to turn into the shape of your own imagination!
Thousands of carvings cannot equal the power of one palm. This is the power of the three postures of the Stele Opening Hand!
After practicing to this level, Zhou Shi's understanding of the stele hand has also reached a higher level. He feels that these three stele hand movements are the magical skills he learned when carving the stele. First, use the open hand to create the shape of the stele, and then use the calligraphy hand to create the shape of the stele.
Carving is done by hand, and the stone-piercing hand accidentally realized the evil skill during the process of carving the stone with bare hands.
"The monument opener and monument piercer have reached this point in their training, and the progress has become slow. Only this book monument master..."
Zhou Shi thought, took out the sunset scroll over the long river from under the kang, patted the dust on it, and then opened it.
As soon as the landscape and the poem caught his eye, a literary spirit poured into his body, making him feel refreshed. But this time, the feeling was far less intense than before.
"It seems that even if they are imitations of Yuan Yongsheng's works, the literary style they provide is limited... It is better to collect other paintings and calligraphy and come back to view and copy them."
Zhou Shi thought about it, and touched the painting twice, and suddenly a yin energy came out of it and turned into a human shape.
"Sir, call me?"
Cai Youlin floated in the air and said to Zhou Shi respectfully.
After Zhou Shi agreed to find another fake of the Long River Sunset scroll for him, it temporarily stayed on the painting and was hidden under the kang.
Although this is a fake, but to the extent it has achieved, I am afraid that not many people in the world can compare with it.
"I have something to ask you. Do you know where I can see the works of famous calligraphers and painters in Jiangdu?"
After Cai Youlin attached it to the painting, it circulated in the hands of various collectors, which should be able to answer this question.
"This... to say it's a real masterpiece, I'm afraid..."
"It doesn't have to be real, and it doesn't have to be someone of Yuan Yongsheng's level, as long as it can be called a masterpiece." Zhou Shi saw that he was in trouble and lowered his requirements.
"Well, if you want to put it that way, the 'eye man' who invited you to come to me has many exquisite imitations at home."
Wang Yinchang... Zhou Shi was satisfied. He had known Wang Yinchang for nearly ten years, and had helped him deal with the haunted Long River Sunset Scroll. They had a close friendship, and his request to visit his collection should not be rejected.<
/p>
"Thank you."
Even though there was no news about the fake Long River Sunset scroll, Cai Youlin did not show the slightest regret, but bowed and retreated into the painting.
Maybe he himself knew that the hope of finding the other fake was slim; maybe he had been wandering the world as a ghost for decades and didn't care about the wait.
Zhou Shi put the scroll away, walked to the front hall, said hello to Agui, and said that he was going to visit Meng Xingyuan in the afternoon.
After Agui solved his knot, he no longer concealed his abilities and devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work. Zhou Shi found that he was fully qualified to serve as half a shopkeeper, which allowed him to trust him with the business of the store.<
/p>
Zhou Shi chose to go to Yue Qing Restaurant in the afternoon to avoid the busiest time of the restaurant. After all, this time he was asking for help, so even if it was courtesy, he had to be polite.
After letting the clerk in to report, he stood patiently at the door and waited, looking around boredly. Suddenly, something in the corner caught his attention.
"A fish?"
Zhou Shi frowned slightly, this thing triggered some bad associations. At this moment, Meng Xingyuan also came out, and he immediately asked:
"Shopkeeper Meng, what do you think that is?"
When Meng Xingyuan heard that Shopkeeper Zhou was coming to his door, he hurriedly walked through the courtyard to greet him, but when the other person opened his mouth, he said these words, which really surprised him.
Looking in the direction of Zhou Shi's finger, Meng Xingyuan suddenly realized and said with some complaint:
"Oh, these guys are so careless in their work, I clearly asked them to get rid of all these things."
"What do 'these things' refer to?"
"You don't know, when we opened the door early this morning, we saw water everywhere, and some fish and shrimps jumping in the puddles! I quickly called someone to clean it up, but one was still missing. This is really a 'fish that slipped through the net'
..."
Zhou Shi said thoughtfully: "Who did it?"
"Who else could it be? It's just the gangsters from the streets who came to me for fun. We restaurant owners are most afraid of this. If you go to them to settle accounts, they will keep you in trouble all day long... What's the matter with shopkeeper Zhou?
?" Meng Xingyuan complained for a while before inviting Zhou Shi inside.
Zhou Shi temporarily put away his thoughts and said with a smile: "Oh, I want to ask Shopkeeper Meng to do me a favor."
