I have a roll of fairy pictures

Chapter 22 Meeting Wang Gaoqiu

"Artistic conception! This is the artistic conception! The rhythm of mountains and rivers, the rhythm of vegetation." Huo Taixian's thoughts flowed in his mind, immersed in the mountains and rivers, and his energy and spirit constantly communicated with the vegetation in the scroll.

No one noticed that in the nothingness of Chang'an, strands of mysterious energy seemed to come to life. Driven by the "Chang'an Sheji Map", strands of mysterious energy burst out and silently poured into Huo Taixian. His three souls and seven souls are nourished in his body.

"'Withered vines, old trees, dark crows, small bridges and flowing water, people, ancient roads, westerly winds and thin horses, this is the artistic conception!'"

Huo Taixian came to his senses. Along with his mood swings, the Chang'an map was shattered, and his sight gradually returned. Huo Taixian's eyes showed a burning color:
"As expected of the rubbings of the mythical scroll, the Dao rhyme is so strong."

"However, what Wang Tai said is not wrong. I am indeed only suitable for accumulating my background and waiting for the opening of the Academy of Natural Painting. If you pass on a word of truth, and pass on thousands of books in falsehood, you really don't deceive me." Huo Taixian had already mastered the magic power The method of opening the pen, as long as he is willing, he can open the golden pen in his body at any time.

However, no one explained to him the secrets of opening the golden pen and the secrets of ink practice. Of course, he dared not open it at will, but made up his mind to go to the Academy of Natural Painting.

Just when Huo Taixian was distracted, the little girl ran over and hugged Huo Taixian's arm: "Brother, let's go home and eat, I'm going to starve to death."

The little girl washed clean and put on new clothes. Although she was still pale and thin, her mental outlook had taken on a new look.

Looking down on the linen clothes, Huo Taixian's gaze paused, and he saw the white and tender feet, stepping on the floor bare, with dust sticking to the edges of the soles.

"Where are your shoes?" Huo Taixian asked in surprise.

"Shoes... I don't want to wear them. Walking takes too much time, and those shoes are so beautiful. I want to keep them for later marriage." The little girl looked at Huo Taixian with a hint of shyness in her eyes.

Huo Taixian was both distressed and funny when he heard the words. Looking at the skinny little girl, he stretched out his hand and pinched her face:
"You are so young, you already know how to get married?"

"Mother told me every day that I was a loser, and she would marry me off in three to five years." The little girl bared her teeth and smiled:
"If I can save a dowry, the family will save some money, and my mother won't have to work so hard to weave cloth and make shoes under the lamp."

"Where are the shoes?" Huo Taixian looked at the little girl angrily.

The little girl stretched out her hand to her back, took out a pair of intact cloth shoes from her back, and carefully held them up in front of Huo Taixian.

Huo Taixian brought clean water, pulled the little girl to sit on a chair, and then squatted down to clean the dust off her feet: "You girl, don't you know that people will grow up? You don't want to wear these shoes this year. If you don’t wear it, you won’t be able to wear it next year.”

While talking, Huo Taixian put the shoes on the little girl. The little girl's feet are too thin, as thin as two chicken feet:

"Don't worry, elder brother will definitely ask you to wear new clothes and shoes every day in the future. When you get married in the future, elder brother will prepare a generous dowry for you."

The little girl blinked her eyes, looked at Huo Taixian quietly, and couldn't help saying: "Brother, you treat me so well."

"You are my sister, of course I want to treat you well." Huo Taixian smiled and took the little girl's hand, then picked up a package beside him, and the two siblings walked out of the yamen.

"Go home and eat." Huo Taixian smiled and patted the little girl's head.

The brother and sister walked out of the Yamen and returned home all the way. Mrs. Liu had already prepared meals.

"What's the happy event today?" Huo Taixian looked at the eight dishes on the table and asked with a smile.

"Your father was lucky enough to be promoted today, and he went to Longmendi to serve as a patrol. This is a fat job, and it will be no problem for you to eat meat in the future. We should celebrate today."

The little girl was about to speak as soon as her eyes lit up, but Huo Taixian pulled her arm, made a 'shush' gesture, and then blinked.

This girl is really smart, she understood what she said, so she didn't say any more.

"The clothes on this girl... This set of clothes costs a lot of money. As long as the child has old clothes to wear, you are a prodigal! Just like your dead ghost father." Song Wanquan appeared outside the house, looking at The clothes on Xiaoya's body made her eyelids twitch.

The little girl was unhappy when she heard the words, she pouted and ran to the side, tilting her head, ignoring Song Wanquan.

Song Wanquan came to Huo Taixian's side, lowered his voice and said:

"Taixian, I was transferred to Longmendi, is this your handwriting?" Song Wanquan said to Huo Taixian.

"What did dad say?" Huo Taixian asked in surprise when he saw Song Wanquan's determined face.

"Father is not a fool. Longmendi is a fat job. I don't know how many people are staring at him. No matter what, it won't be my turn." Song Wanquan said angrily:
"Although I'm a bit stupid, I'm not stupid. Such a good thing suddenly happened to me, and considering that you are the chief bookkeeper in the yamen, it's not difficult to guess."

Huo Taixian smiled when he heard the words, and didn't say much, just patted Sanya on the head, and said hello: "Hurry up and eat."

Then he put the package in his hand on the table: "This package contains the cloth I bought to make some new clothes for Mother and Gousheng."

"You, it's such a waste. We are all poor people. We are fine with old clothes. How can we be willing to make new clothes?" Mrs. Liu's eyes lit up when she heard the words. Although she complained, she came together Came over to unpack the package, grinning from the corners of his mouth to the back of his head.

Song Wanquan smiled all over his face, looked at Huo Taixian meaningfully and said, "My family, I won't thank you either. Taixian, I owe your family more in my life. , but I was taken care of by you. Don't worry, father will never embarrass you, the Longmen Dike is related to the safety of the seven counties, even if I die, I will never let the accident of Longmen Dike implicate you."

Huo Taixian bared his teeth and smiled: "How could something happen to the millennium dam? I checked the documents, and the dam is 600 years old. The imperial court strengthens it every year, and nothing will happen."

"That's true." Song Wanquan bared his teeth and smiled: "But working in Longmendi, our family can be considered wealthy, and in the future life, big fish and big meat are indispensable."

After the family finished eating, Huo Taixian led Sanya and walked to the yamen again. When he returned to the yamen, he learned about the artistic conception and nourished his spirit. For him, his life was fulfilling.

Now that he knew his future path, he was not in a hurry.

The days went by bit by bit, and Huo Taixian's life returned to peace. He lived a secluded life in the county government office.It's just that this day, accompanied by the sound of a drum, the peaceful life was finally broken again.

"My lord, this is the magistrate of the county calling everyone for a discussion." Zhang San said.

The three of them walked all the way to the door, and when they arrived at the Houya, Huo Taixian's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes could not help but concentrate.

He saw a familiar figure——Wang Gaoqiu.

At this time, Wang Gaoqiu was neatly dressed and standing in the lobby with a personable demeanor. He and Wang Tai were standing together, as if they were discussing something.

Looking at the guard who came in, Wang Gaoqiu glanced casually, and as his eyes drifted, when he landed on Huo Taixian, his pupils shrank involuntarily.

The two looked at each other, and they stopped at random. Neither of them spoke, and stood there as if nothing happened.

"Everyone, this is the new arrester Wang Gaoqiu. He is a first-class expert. From now on, he will be in charge of leading the three classes of yamen servants. Everyone will be colleagues." Wang Tai briefly introduced, and then ordered everyone to disperse.

"Wang Catcher, we meet again." Huo Taixian looked at Wang Gaoqiu, took the initiative to greet him, and said with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, we met again. I never thought I would meet you here." Wang Gaoqiu sneered.

"You two know each other?" Wang Tai asked curiously.

"Not only do we know each other, but we are also very familiar with each other." Huo Taixian smiled and said, "Sure enough, the mountains never turn around. I never thought we would meet here. Catcher Wang, please take care of me in the future."

Huo Taixian glanced at Wang Gaoqiu, turned around and walked out after speaking.

Zhang San and Li Si are very shrewd people. At this time, they sensed that the atmosphere was not right:
"My lord, do you have any grievances with Wang Gaoqiu?" Zhang San leaned over and asked.

"Go and find out how Wang Gaoqiu entered the county government office." Huo Taixian ordered, then walked into the room with a dull head, sat in front of the case and closed his eyes without saying a word.

Before Huo Taixian was kept waiting, Zhang San and Li Si hurried in: "My lord, I found out that they were dispatched by the imperial court. It is said that there is a letter from the superior."

"Is it sent by the imperial court? Has something to do with the imperial court?" Huo Taixian was thoughtful, this seemed to be a line, the line to find the assassin.Find the thread of who exactly is trying to kill himself.

He felt that his five ghost transporting map seemed to be useful.

County office

Wang Gaoqiu followed Wang Tai into the backyard, but Wang Gaoqiu took out a wooden box from his sleeve: "My lord, His Highness Duan asked me to send you my greetings."

"Prince Duan? Why did he put you in the yamen? Don't try to use the "Chang'an Sheji Map" to find the mythological scrolls. If this trick is useful, I would have found it long ago. Zhou Tianzi has already mobilized the "Jiangshan Sheji Tu" volume It's gone." Wang Tai casually took the wooden box, opened it and took a look, with a strange look in his eyes:

"Assuming he has a heart."

"My lord has a clever plan, but I still want to try again. Maybe I can detect a trace of clues through the picture scroll." Wang Gaoqiu hurriedly pretended to be seen through, and said respectfully.

Looking at Wang Gaoqiu, Wang Tai yawned: "The Chang'an Sheji map is in the hands of the master, if you want to see the Chang'an Sheji map, go to him."

"Thank you, sir." Wang Gaoqiu was overjoyed, bowed quickly, and then looked at the fawning officer beside him:
"Who is the master book in the yamen?"
