dragon hunter

Chapter 404
The woman opposite looked at me with a hesitant look on her face. After a while, she asked, "Have you seen me before?"

I was stunned for a moment, what the other person asked was exactly what I had been trying to figure out, this woman was so similar to Bai Yuan.

"You look a lot like a friend of mine," I said after staring at her for a moment.

"Can you tell me, what is your friend's name and where is he from?" the mysterious woman asked softly.

"Then should you introduce yourself first?" I looked at her and asked back.

The mysterious woman fell silent for a while, her expression on her face fluctuated, she finally gritted her teeth, took off the pendant hanging around her neck, and said, "You can tell my origin by just looking at this thing."

I took the pendant curiously, it was a small and exquisite bone carving, it was as warm as jade in my hand.

"The dominoes, so you are..." I raised my head in shock and looked towards the other party.

After taking off the pendant around her neck, the mysterious woman's figure changed a bit. I could actually see the wall behind her through her body.

"That's right, I'm not a human being, but a painting charm refined by the Dao Festival." The mysterious woman looked at me and said in a flat tone.

In fact, even if she didn't say it, I could tell, because I once met a Huamei.

She is a puppet refined by the Dao Ji, and she is connected with the Dao Ji, so when the Dao Ji died, she had a telepathy, which is not surprising, but why is she exactly the same as Bai Yuan?
"Did Daoji ever say why you were refined like this?" I asked curiously.

Hua Mei had a strange look on her face, emotions such as nostalgia, hatred, and disgust flashed one by one, and finally she sighed softly.

"He once told me that he drew my appearance according to a saint from Miaojiang. When he was still alive, he was astonished at the sight of that saint. I will never forget it." Hua Mei's tone was low.

A sudden flash of light flashed in my eyes, it turned out that the prototype of this mysterious painting charm was an ancestor of Bai Yuan, no wonder it was so similar.

After unraveling the mystery that has been haunting my heart, I felt a little relieved. I looked at the painting charm curiously, and asked: "Your master died at my hands, so you don't want to take revenge?"

"Revenge? Why should I avenge him? I'm just a plaything he made casually. When he dies, I will be free." Hua Mei sneered.

I remained silent. The other party's mentality at this time is not difficult to understand. Dao Ji refined her at the beginning, but only used her as a substitute. In this way, she naturally would not have any feelings for the master.

There was a sound behind me, I turned around and saw old Fangtou poking his head outside the door.

"The thing you were looking for just now is an ancient painting, right?" I turned around, looked at the painting and said charmingly.

"You also want that ancient painting?" Hua Mei gritted her teeth and looked at me with an unsteady expression.

"By the way, why did you take me to rescue the old Fangtou last time?" I didn't answer her last question, but changed the subject.

Hua Mei hesitated for a moment, and said: "I know him, his body is the same as mine, he is a puppet, so it can be regarded as sympathy."

Surprise flashed in my eyes, I didn't expect Hua Mei's answer to be so simple.

"The eldest grandson of the Fang family, you killed him, right?" I recalled the scene when I met him for the first time.

"Damn him. I hate the kind of playboy who plays with women the most. He has his ideas on me. He deserves to die." Hua Mei said this in a calm tone.

After talking here, I didn't continue to ask questions, because I already knew the answers I wanted to know.

Then, we will face the last problem, that is the attribution of ancient paintings.

"You are a painting charm. The only reason you want to get that painting is to find a body for yourself. In this case, I have a compromise." I put forward my own suggestion.

"What kind of compromise?" Hua Mei stared at me firmly, from the beginning to the end, the guard in the depths of her eyes never let go.

I sighed in my heart. Speaking of it, if the two sides really fight, her chances of winning are very low, but that face that is very similar to Bai Yuan makes me not want to use force to solve the problem.

"I don't want that ancient painting, it's just that the secret method of my ancestors is sealed in the painting. This is something I must get." I looked at the other party and said slowly.

"In this case, I have a suggestion. I will look at the ancient painting first. After I get the secret technique sealed inside, the painting will belong to you." I continued.

Hua Mei hesitated for a moment, finally nodded, and said one word: "Okay!"

After the two parties reached an agreement, the only thing left to do was to find the ancient painting.

"I know that there is a secret room in his room, and he will put all the valuables in the secret room." Hua Mei lifted the bedding on the bed.

"The entrance to the secret room is under the bed?" I stared at the other party's behavior suspiciously.

"I don't know where the opening mechanism is hidden, but the secret room should be under this bed." Hua Mei circled around the bed, knocking, looking for the mechanism to open the secret room.

I greeted the old Fangtou, and the three of us searched together. The night was long and dreamy. It is better to find the ancient painting as soon as possible, so as not to cause any changes.

I don't know what old Fangtou accidentally touched some mechanism, and there was a creaking sound under the bed.

I took a step back cautiously, fixed my eyes on the bed, and saw that the tightly stitched bed boards suddenly collapsed downwards, revealing a square hole.

"Is the secret room down there?" I asked Hua Mei with a profile.

"Yes, definitely not wrong, I saw him go in with my own eyes." Hua Mei's face showed a bit of joy.

I walked over, took out my mobile phone, and took a photo inside. I could vaguely see a few rows of wooden shelves underneath.

"I'll go down and have a look first." I said, propping up with one hand, and jumped down.

Hidden under the bed board is a small secret room with some exquisite antiques placed on the wooden shelves. If Fatty Wang is here, he will definitely be ecstatic.

However, I am not very interested in the things inside the antiques, and I searched for the ancient painting sideways.

In fact, there is no need to search deliberately, because I saw the ancient painting at a glance.

The painting is exactly the same as the fake in the old Fangtou's house, but it has a touch of charm.

When I finally saw the true face of the ancient painting, I felt a lot of emotions in my heart. I recalled the various experiences in Panlong Town, and I was stunned there for a while.

A muffled sound came from behind, waking me up. I turned around and saw that it was Old Fangtou who had jumped down.

As soon as the old Fangtou stood up straight, his eyes were fixed on the ancient painting, and he couldn't bear to move his eyes away.

"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that I would still see this painting in my lifetime." Old Fangtou looked fascinated and took a few steps forward.

The painting charm floated down silently, looked at me sideways, and asked: "Then that ancient painting has sealed a secret technique, how should I get it out?"

"Let me take a look first." I walked up to the ancient painting and stared at it expectantly.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but from the first time I saw the ancient painting, I felt very kind.

I felt dizzy for a while, and I seemed to have hallucinations. I saw a Taoist with a compass walking out of that ancient painting.

The Taoist smiled and looked at me without saying a word. After a while, he stretched out his hand and pointed between my eyebrows.

I felt that there was suddenly something more in my mind, about the secret technique of Xiangmen, and some miscellaneous information. At this moment, my mind was a little messy, and my brain seemed to stop for a while.

When I came back to my senses again, I saw that I was still standing in the same place, and the old square head and Hua Mei were all looking at me eagerly.

"What happened just now, why did the painting suddenly emit golden light?" Old Fangtou looked curious.

"You obtained the secret method in the painting?" Hua Mei asked while staring at me.

I reached out and rubbed the center of my brows, sorted out the messy information in my head, nodded, and said, "I got the inheritance left by my ancestors, and this painting is meaningless to me."

In fact, I was not at peace at all, because there are too many messages sealed in the painting by my ancestors, which is undoubtedly a timely help for me who lacks inheritance.

"It turns out that the hexagram image behind the mantra of my life is called Shen Guan Yin and Yang." I muttered to myself.

Because of the lack of inheritance, I have never known about the fifth hexagram of Qianlong. Now that I have received a gift from my ancestors, I have learned a lot about Qianlong's tattoo.

"The Qianlong tattoo can be upgraded. This is something I never thought of before." I feel that I have too many surprises today.

When I turned to the last piece of information in my mind, I was taken aback for a while, and then sighed, and said to myself: "It turns out that the ancestors had already figured out all this, and only left such a backhand at that time. It can be calculated hundreds of years later. Is this the strength of a master physicist?"

Just when I was in a daze, the old Fangtou had reached an agreement with Huamei, the ancient painting belonged to Huamei, but the old Fangtou had the right to watch and appreciate it, so everyone was happy.

The matter at the Rising Dragon Temple has come to an end. When I returned to the town, Zhen Qingyi pulled me anxiously and asked what happened.

I went back to my room, drank a large glass of water, and then briefly recounted the thrilling experience before.

"So, you finally found a way to break through?" Zhen Qingyi looked delighted.

"Yes, we can go back tomorrow." I smiled, feeling relieved.

"It's only been a few days, why go back?" Fatty Wang's voice came from outside the door.

I ignored that coward. I heard Zhen Qingyi chatting just now. This guy and the girl named Xiaohua from the grocery store opposite are having a hot fight.

The most urgent task right now is to break through the current state, otherwise the high fever will strike again at any time.

I took out a blank piece of paper, wrote down a list of materials on it, and asked Zhen Qingyi to help me prepare it.

And myself, these few days I have to recharge my energy, strive for one breath, and open the fifth hexagram of Qianlong.

Recalling in my mind, the various descriptions left by my ancestors about the divine yin and yang, deep in my heart, I can't help but look forward to it.
