According to the old man Shi Yu's plan, Zheng Yiqiao was used to replace the Snow Mountain Picture, and then he found the Konghou Dao. After Chu Lang finished practicing the knife skills at the bottom of the sarcophagus and came out of seclusion, he handed over the Konghou Dao and the last two moves of the Konghou Nine Questions to Chu.
Wolf.
Chu Lang can practice the remaining two questions while honing his skills in the world.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
There was a wry smile in the wind, and he said: "I found the picture, and after searching hard based on the clues on the picture, I finally dug out a box of ghost money. I don't know how many years it has been buried underground."
Chu Lang immediately understood that Feng Zhongyi and the others had obtained a fake picture back then.
Chu Lang said: "Didn't even Mr. Shi realize that it was a fake picture?"
Fengzhong recalled: "The picture is authentic. My master and my uncle have identified it together, and the snow mountain picture is also the master's original work. After Zheng Meng exchanged it with us, he disbanded the Tianfeng Bureau and disappeared with Zheng Qiaoer. He has never been seen again.
There is a whereabouts. So if we want to find clues about the Konghou Dao, we must first find the Zheng family's father and daughter. I am afraid that I was deceived by the Zheng family..."
I see.
Zheng Qiaoer's father is really good at it.
He actually deceived old man Shi Yu.
Chu Lang said: "Zheng Qiaoer had the best relationship with Li Si back then. A few days ago, she sent someone to send a message to Li Si, saying that she is now in the fireworks area and is in a very dangerous situation. She hopes that Li Si can help her. We can just follow the clues and find the Zheng family.
Father and daughter. Zheng Meng, who worked so hard to protect the clues about the Konghou Dao, may also be a member of the blood alliance. If we reveal our identity, he will give us the map. If not, I have a way."
Feng Zhongyi has a pessimistic personality. He said with a melancholy look: "Maybe this is a trap."
Chu Lang said: "Whether it is a trap or not, you will know once you try it. I think it should be true."
Feng Zhongyi reached out and touched his wrinkled clothes.
"Then let's go find Zheng Qiao'er. Over the years..." Feng Zhongyi suddenly felt a lot of emotion, and he said: "I just keep looking for people. Looking for you, looking for Xiang'er, looking for Zheng Yiqiao..."
Chu Lang became curious about Xiang'er's disappearance.
With the abilities of Old Man Shiyu and Feng Zhongyi, they have been searching for Xiang'er for so many years, but there is no clue at all.
Chu Lang said: "Brother Feng, please excuse me, how did Xiang'er disappear?"
When asked about this, Feng Zhongyi's eyes were filled with sadness.
The past events are really unbearable for Feng Zhongyi to look back on.
Although Chu Lang is the leader of the blood alliance, Feng Zhongyi regards him as his brother, and Feng Zhongyi does not hide it.
Fengzhong recalled: "Xiang'er and I grew up together and were childhood sweethearts. Although we are different in generations and Mr. Shi doesn't want us to get married eventually, it can't stop us from falling in love... I was seventeen years old that year, and Xiang'er
Fifteen years old. In order for me to practice quietly and become a master of swordsmanship as soon as possible, my master asked me to practice hard in seclusion. On the day of seclusion, Xiang'er cooked me a lot of delicious food, and we couldn't bear to leave. Xiang'er said that she would wait for me to come out.
Guan, when the time comes, she will marry me regardless of worldly ties. I also promise that I will marry her no matter what..."
Having said this, Feng Zhongyi raised his hand and lightly wiped the corners of his eyes.
"Marrying Xiang'er has become my belief. This belief supports my crazy practice every day, hoping that I will become a master of swordsmanship and marry Xiang'er as soon as possible. But I never expected that when I came out of seclusion, Xiang'er also disappeared mysteriously...
The master said that one day Xiang'er came out of the valley and met a highly skilled painter. The painter was painting people's portraits, and the paintings were lifelike. Xiang'er was moved. She took the painter back to the valley and asked him to paint a portrait for her. But
Unexpectedly, after the portrait was completed, Xiang'er and the painter disappeared together. Only one painting was left at the scene..."
Xiang'er's disappearance was so bizarre.
Chu Lang said: "A painting was left behind? What painting?!"
In the wind, he opened his box and took out a bamboo tube more than a foot long.
Feng Zhongyi unscrewed one end, carefully took out a scroll of paintings, and slowly opened it.
This is a portrait of a beautiful woman.
The background of the painting is a valley full of flowers. The boy in the painting is about fourteen or fifteen years old. He is young and beautiful, and his face is filled with longing for a better future.
A pair of bright eyes stared ahead.
The painting skills of the person who created this painting are indeed impressive.
The people and scenery are painted as vividly as life.
Even the fluttering butterflies among the flowers are vivid, as if they are about to fly off the drawing paper.
The painter's stroke of genius came from nowhere, but Feng Zhongyi hated the person who created this painting.
It was this mysterious painter who took away his beloved.
Feng Zhongyi gently stroked the portrait, with a hint of warmth in his sad eyes.
He has been looking for Xiang'er for so many years without any news, as if Xiang'er has completely evaporated from the world.
But he is not discouraged. Finding true love is Feng Zhongyi’s unwavering goal.
Chu Lang continued to look at this wonderful picture. There were two lines of small words at the bottom of the picture: If you want to know where the human face goes, don't ask the sky or the ghosts and gods.
Chu Lang raised his head: "Is this the portrait the painter painted for Xiang'er that day?"
The wind recalled: "Yes."
Chu Lang read those two lines of small characters.
"If you want to know where a person's face is, don't ask the sky or the ghosts and gods." Chu Lang raised his head and looked at the wind and recalled: "These two sentences should have other meanings."
Fengzhong recalled: "For so many years, I have traveled across thousands of rivers and mountains, asked countless people, worshiped countless ghosts and gods, and inquired about sects and people related to the word ghosts and gods, but I still found nothing."
Chu Lang said: "How old is the painter and what does he look like?"
Feng Zhong recalled: "The master said that the painter was about twenty-four or five years old and looked very handsome, just like a beautiful woman. The painter was not good at words and did not speak much. He always had a gentle and light smile on his face.
The master said that he was always present when the painter painted Xiang'er's portrait. The master also admired his painting skills. The painter was very devoted when painting, almost entering a state of selflessness. Just when the painting was about to be completed, the painter said that he was thirsty.
The master went to get him water. When the master came back, he saw no assistant master, no Xiang'er, and only this painting was left in the same place..."
After listening to Feng Zhongyi's story, Chu Lang became more and more curious about the mystery of Xiang'er's mysterious disappearance.
The more bizarre the mystery is, the more it stimulates people's desire to explore.
Chu Lang said: "For so many years, you have traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers, don't you have any clues? Has no one seen that portrait?"
Fengzhong recalled: "There are no clues about Xiang'er. But after years of searching, it turns out that Xiang'er is not the only one who has disappeared mysteriously in these years. There are also the third miss of Juzhou Yufu, Xia Han, Zi Hanyan from Zijianfeng, and Shangxiezhuang.
The second young lady, the third daughter of Yang Lie from the gambling village Yangmei, and the daughter of the lumber king of Molan Kingdom... they all disappeared in the same way. They all met a handsome painter, and then asked the painter to paint a portrait. After the painting was completed, they and the painter went together
No trace..."
Chu Lang was even more surprised after hearing this. It turned out that Xiang'er was not the only one who disappeared mysteriously, but also many beauties.
The same encounter, the same technique, the mysterious painter, left a painting at the scene, and also left a mystery that is difficult to solve.
