It was a colorful painting hanging in the innermost part of the dark room.
Bai Qiuling walked over quickly, and stood in front of the picture scroll for a closer look.
There is a big stage drawn on the scroll, and there are many people performing on the stage, it seems that they are singing operas, and they seem to be fighting.
There are many people around the stage to watch.
The angle of the picture scroll is the position of the audience outside the stage, as if the viewer is the audience, and if you look up, you will see the bustling big stage.
The whole painting is extremely delicate, exquisite and realistic, and many details are painted lifelike, as if they were real.
The gray and white stage, the soft sunlight around the open air, and the slightly blowing leaves,
Bai Qiuling has never seen such a delicate and realistic painting style. Compared with this style, the previous ink paintings are too heavy on meaning, but they don't have such a strong and shocking sense of substitution.
She felt as if she was actually standing in the crowd around her, looking out towards the stage.
Bai Qiuling caressed the scroll carefully and fascinated, touching it inch by inch. From the perspective of the picture scroll, there are crowded and surging heads in front of it, all of them are audience watching the stage, there are old people and children around, and there is a corner of the outline of a passing carriage.
Slowly, when Bai Qiuling carefully examined the pattern on a stool at the corner of the scroll, she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She looked up and looked around.
There was silence in the dark room, and there was no sound at all. There was no sound of guards moving outside.
Not finding any problems, Bai Qiuling turned her gaze back to the scroll.
But this time, she immediately realized something was wrong.
A long-haired woman on the picture scroll was originally watching the performance on the high platform with other people. At this time, at some point, she turned her head and looked at Bai Qiuling who was in front of the painting.
Those eyes, as if they were real human eyes, were agile and deep, looking straight at the girl in front of him from the painting with a smile.
ah! !
Bai Qiuling yelled suddenly, took a few steps back, and fell to the ground suddenly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
"What... what's going on!?" Although she had heard about ghosts and ghosts, it was the first time she had encountered them in person.
The woman in the portrait was still looking at her, Bai Qiuling's face was pale,
"I... I..." She was trembling, trying to get up from the ground, trembling, but she couldn't get up for a long time.
Her legs are weak...
puff.
Suddenly she touched something with her elbow.
Bai Qiuling trembled all over, and her whole body froze.
She slowly and stiffly turned her face to the side, and saw an extra pair of feet around her at some point.
She wore a pair of bright red delicate embroidered shoes on her feet, and a long red dress above.
Bai Qiuling began to tremble all over.
"Help....Help...." She wanted to call for help, but her voice couldn't come out for some reason.
"Walk!!"
Suddenly there was a stern voice in her ear, Bai Qiuling's eyes blurred, she opened her eyes suddenly, and found that she was lying on her back on the floor of the dark room, motionless. The ground was cold, and everything just now seemed to be just a dream.
But at some point in the dark room, there was another person, and her hand was also held by this person.
"Are you Bai Qiuling?" The man was a young man with a serious expression.
Bai Qiuling stared at him blankly, and quickly recognized that this guy was the beggar who stopped her from talking privately during the day.
"You... You are that beggar? How did you get in?!" Her face was blank with a hint of fear.
"There's no one outside! I ran in when I realized something was wrong! Listen to Bai Qiuling, I'm here to save you, this place is not suitable for staying for long, you must leave as soon as possible!" Li Shunxi quickly explained, her eyes still fixed on the victim. He sprinkled a huge scroll of talisman paper.
He dragged Bai Qiuling's hand and quickly retreated towards the door. In the process of retreating, he kept staring at the huge picture scroll all the time, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
"Are you here to save me?" Bai Qiuling regained her breath, and suddenly she realized, what did the man with eye circles say just now
No one out there? impossible! This is the headquarters of the Baihe Gang, and there will be patrols passing by every once in a while, there will be watchmen on watch, maids go down to fetch things, and there will be footsteps and whispers.
There are hundreds of people in the huge headquarters, how could there be no one
Seeing that she was still confused, Li Shunxi simply bent over and hugged her sideways, and rushed towards the open wooden door.
As soon as Bai Qiuling was picked up, she instinctively wanted to struggle, but suddenly saw a figure in a long red dress flashing past in the dark room she just ran out of.
The voice that she was about to scream froze all of a sudden, and she could no longer make a sound. With frightened eyes, Li Shunxi let her carry her and ran out of the study at a fast pace.
The wide courtyard outside was empty, and the fallen leaves were scattered and rolled on the ground by the wind.
The patrollers, the guards, the passing maids, and the servants in a hurry, all of them disappeared together as if they had made an appointment.
"What the hell... what's going on!?" Bai Qiuling also recalled at this time, ever since she entered the study, it seemed that there had been no sound outside. Not to mention the maid guarding, even the watchman didn't hear passing by.
"There is something wrong with something in your father's collection. The reasons for it are very complicated. Let's escape first!" Li Shunxi ran wildly with Bai Qiuling in his arms, and answered her question calmly.
After a period of exercise, his physical strength at this time has also greatly improved his strength and endurance. Coupled with his original ability, combined, it is really not a big deal to run wildly with someone in his arms.
"Daddy....Daddy... No, you let me down, I'm going to find Daddy!" Bai Qiuling suddenly realized and struggled hard.
The two of them passed through the arch of the study courtyard, and outside was a wide columned corridor, which was empty, and there was still no one there.
Bai Qiuling kicked her feet wildly, scratched Li Shunxi's back with her hands, and screamed wildly.
"Let me go!!" She was so frightened that she bit Li Shunxi's arm hard.
ah! !
Under the pain, Li Shunxi involuntarily let go of his hand, and immediately became angry. He sneaked in to save people so hard, but was treated like this by Bai Qiuling, and he was also a little angry.
"Do you want to die!? The whole Double Eagle City is very dangerous now, what's the use of looking for your father!?"
"Thank you for saving me." Bai Qiuling took a deep breath after standing still, and took two steps back to stare at Li Shunxi. "But something happened at home, I must notify my father as soon as possible."
After all, she is the daughter of the gang leader, not an ordinary girl, and her emotions did not keep breaking down, but finally stabilized slowly. They also discovered many doubts about Li Shunxi.
"You saved me, and you have been kind to my Baihe Gang. Come and find Dad with me. He will definitely reward you. Whatever you want, he will do what he can."
Li Shunxi was helpless.
An accident happened to the Baihe Gang, and Bai Zhenming was not spared.
"I don't know you, and I don't know why you came to save me." Bai Qiuling gradually calmed down. Although she was still a little panicked, her thoughts became clear.
The beggar in front of him is by no means a murderer, relying on him alone, with so many masters around the headquarters, it is impossible for him to disappear without a single movement.
If he had this ability, he could just come in and take him away, there was no need to beat around the bush and deceive himself.
Bai Qiuling's thoughts changed sharply.
"But right now we are in trouble. If it is true that the entire Double Eagle City is in trouble as you said, if there is anyone who can be counted on, it must be my father."
"Your father..." Li Shunxi hesitated to speak.
Bai Zhenming is indeed very strong, both internally and externally, he can be regarded as a top master at the concentration level, infinitely close to Tianyuan.
But such force is meaningless to demons and ghosts.
In the fate he saw, Bai Zhenming died in the small courtyard of his bedroom, surrounded by ghosts, and after only a few moves, he was dug out by ghosts and died.
"You didn't even go..." Li Shunxi still wanted to persuade.
But Bai Qiuling turned around and ran towards the distance resolutely. She must tell father what happened in the study as soon as possible.
And the painting in the dark room she encountered, that painting was so weird that she was sweating all over thinking about it now.
She can actually fall asleep while looking at paintings, this is something she has never encountered before. And the woman in the painting, with her feet beside her.
If the beggar in front of him hadn't woken him up, maybe he would never see his family again this time.
"I have to find Daddy quickly! What happened to the gang!!?" Bai Qiuling looked around in a blink of an eye. While running, she couldn't see a single figure, and her heart became more and more frightened.
"Do you have to find your father before leaving?" Li Shunxi hurriedly followed and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't believe what you said." Startled, Bai Qiuling stopped and backed away again, staring at Li Shunxi with a hint of vigilance. "The strength of the Baihe gang is so strong that you can't even imagine that even if something happens, it's impossible for everyone to disappear together!"
Li Shunxi looked at her determined eyes, knowing that it would be impossible not to look for Bai Zhenming. He thought about knocking people unconscious and taking them away, but some things and certain things can't be done by force.
"Let's go, I'll accompany you." He quickly took out a stack of talisman papers from his arms.
"Ah?" Bai Qiuling was taken aback.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ..
Beiyuan.
Lu Sheng took a long breath, and Xu Chui and Xu Chui each sat in the courtyard chatting and giving advice on martial arts.
With Lu Sheng's level, it's not a problem to give advice to Xu Chui, who is only at the top of KONE.
But what he really cares about is not the injuries of Cai Hao, nor the problems that Xu Chui throws up, but the evil spirit in the Baihe gang.
"Speaking of which, the Baihe Gang is a bit weird. Before, the subordinates wandered around the city and asked about the strange things around for adults. I just felt that all the people in Shuangying City were weird." After getting the answer to the question, Xu Chui also mentioned it sentence.
"Oh? What kind of weird method?" Lu Sheng didn't expect Xu Chui to see it.
"People here feel very lethargic, as if they are seriously lacking in sleep and rest. Many people have dark circles. I don't know why." Xu Blow frowned.
Lu Sheng squinted his eyes, and suddenly remembered the Liulijing case he investigated when he was in the tea gang. At that time, the people in the tea gang were like this, with dark circles under their eyes and a serious lack of rest.
"Speaking of which, how much time is it now?"
Xu Chui was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed slightly.
"A few days ago, watchmen passed by at regular intervals, but I haven't heard of it now."
"Maybe something went wrong." Lu Sheng stood up slowly and stretched his muscles. "Let's go out and have a look."
