Chapter 340: Hehe 30┃ Water and Land Painting.

The corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers.
The corpse of the demon and the remains of the man formed a dead ocean.
The only clean mound seemed out of place in this corpse realm. At first glance, one might even think that this mound was made of ashes.
The man sat on the mound.
Wei Dong has never entered a person's illusion so deeply, even Fang Fei's deep-sea illusion has never made himself so immersive and unable to extricate himself.
Wei Dong felt his feet step on the sea of ​​corpses, and the strange smell of monster blood mixed with human corpses filled his nose. Moonlight shone from the direction of the mound, and he raised his face and looked at the soil. The man sitting on the pile.
As if feeling his own gaze, the man also looked back at himself.
A real person.
The appearance is ordinary and has no characteristics.
An unfamiliar face can not even tell the age in the night.
But Wei Dong always felt that this person's eyes were very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Weidong approached little by little, trying to see some clues from this person's clothing.
This person looked at Wei Dong twice, as if he had lost interest in this "intruder", and turned his head, not knowing whether he was in a daze or thinking.
Wei Dong's eyes focused on the pocket on the waist of this man.
This is a very worn cloth bag. It is so worn that the original color is no longer visible, but it looks very familiar, especially the black rope at the mouth of the pocket, with a rusty copper tied to the end of the rope. Bells, occasionally make a dull sound.
Weidong had seen the same pocket, when he and Fang Fei had just arrived in this world-at that time, Shituoling was already full of corpses, and the two of them had no way to go, only from this pocket. Two white goose feathers were selected.
In addition, the two people also learned how to blindfold their eyes. They only need to pin the goose feathers to their ears and chant the spells, and the two of them turned into two goose monsters on the spot, and they swaggered into the lion and camel country.
Wei Dong opened his mouth and wanted to ask this person: Are you the old woman who helped us in the first place?
But all the words uttered in his mouth melted into the air, and no sound came out.
The man sitting on the mound seemed to have heard it, and smiled as if to say something to Wei Dong, but Wei Dong could not hear it.
The man raised his pocket and the brass bell made a rusty sound.
With this bell, Weidong finally returned from the illusion.
Fang Fei seemed to be talking to the pig buddy, and she was ready to pick someone and bargain with them.
The sound of the copper bell was still faintly ringing. Wei Dong stared at the demon in front of him for an instant. To be exact, he was a demon buddy from the slaughterhouse. He was of moderate stature and his head was a monkey head. He bared his teeth and shook his body again.
The pocket on the monkey demon's waist made the sound of a copper bell. The monkey demon made a complicated gesture to Wei Dong, and stopped looking at Wei Dong.
Suddenly there was the voice of the python man, and the voice of Zhu San soon came again: "Wait for the transaction, today's place, Lord Long, is covered!"
Wei Dong turned his head, but found that the monkey demon had long disappeared.
Fang Fei reacted very quickly and tightened her back to the child behind her back: "Long Lord, we can't afford to provoke him. We will withdraw first and come back another day."
The pig guy was very clever, thinking that it would be difficult to meet these merchants, so he first led them out through another door.
The two of them returned to the dirty streets again, turned silently along the alleys, and walked onto the avenue paved with blue bricks.
Both people knew that they couldn't even save a hundred people in the slaughterhouse. If Fang Fei didn't hide in time, the child behind Fang Fei might be left behind by the python male, and even arouse the other's suspicion.
"Go back to the inn first." Fang Fei said briefly, walking fast.
The ear-piercing "di-" sound rang, and the chime was louder than once, which was the eighth sound.
Time is really running out.
Going back to the inn, untied the cloth on the child's head, the child did not cry, his eyes were very dull.
Fang Fei applied the medicine she bought on the road to the child's wound. The process might be painful, but the child didn't say a word.
"I saw him." Wei Dong said only then.
"Is that the monkey?" Fang Fei didn't have time to observe the other party with the bird fairy feathers, but he could guess something from Wei Dong's expression.
"He should be the same person as the old woman who helped us back then," Wei Dong said of his guess, "it is the old woman we saw before entering the city."
Fang Fei lowered her head to apply the medicine, without saying a moment.
"You said, what happened in the illusion, is it the past or the future?" Wei Dong asked.
"I do not know."
"In that environment, there seemed to be a battle between monsters and humans. The scene was very tragic."
Fang Fei listened to Wei Dong's description, it was hard to imagine the tragic scene, let alone infer whether the incident happened hundreds of years ago or was about to happen a few hours later.
"Wei Dong, why did you say these demons came to the Lion and Camel Country?" Fang Fei suddenly asked.
Weidong thought for a while: "Didn't the python man say that people can be eaten legally here. This country seems to belong to the three-regardless zone."
"What does it say in "Journey to the West"? Why can we allow those monsters to eat all the people in a country?" Fang Fei thought of this and felt terrible-cannibalism is scary, but what is more terrifying is that cannibalism is actually Reasonable and legal.
"According to the statement in the book, these three monsters all have a backstage, not nameless wild monsters," Wei Dong sat on a chair by the window, "the green lion and white elephant are Manjusri and Samantabhadra The mounts of the two Bodhisattvas, and the Dapeng Bird is even more remarkable, speaking of it as the uncle of the Buddha."
"This seems to have been mentioned in the TV series. Phoenix gave birth to peacocks and rocs. The peacocks were born to eat people, and they dared to eat the Buddha into the belly. Later, the Buddha broke the peacock and came out. The peacock was actually a Buddha mother. He lives by himself, so Dapeng has become the uncle of the Buddha." Fang Fei still remembers this episode on TV.
"So Dapeng is lawless, saying that he is not accustomed to eating fast, and he has to eat people every day. In the end, the Buddha said that he should feed it with his followers before it converted."
Fang Fei widened her eyes when she heard the words, "Feed it with people?"
"It probably means feeding the tiger with the body and giving up the life for justice." Wei Dong said.
Fang Fei frowned, as if thinking of something: "I told you about the eight dragons before, among them it was mentioned that the roc bird loves to eat dragons, until the dragon is about to become extinct. Later, the dragon mother pleaded for help. To save the dragon son, the Buddha persuaded Dapeng not to eat dragons again, and promised him that the Buddhist disciples would give him nectar meals before using the fast food, so Dapeng birds converted to Buddhism and stopped eating dragons."
It was the first time that Wei Dong heard such a statement, which almost overturned his previous understanding of "Journey to the West": "To be honest, I have never understood this before, so I can only fool myself by saying "giving up my life". Unexpectedly, there is such an interpretation in the Buddhist scriptures?"
Fang Fei: "I haven't read Buddhist scriptures. This is when I checked some information while reading martial arts novels. It happened to mention these in it."
Wei Dong: "I feel that Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West" must know this story. He probably wrote it in another way deliberately, perhaps to satirize the society at the time, or to enhance the story. Yes, or for other reasons that cannot be said."
Fang Fei felt that it would be difficult to understand the mystery within a short period of time based on the IQ and experience of two people.
Fang Fei said: "Anyway, the world we live in is nothing more than a matter between humans and demons."
The world in front of him reminds Wei Dong more of the painting "Animal World".
Regardless of the painting or reality, as long as the position of the top of the food chain is taken, the identities of human and demon are completely interchangeable.
What is a person? What is the demon?
What is human being?
The one who is eaten is always the weakest.
Weidong looked at Fang Fei's white goose head: "Do you know? Now if I were to watch goose slaughtering, it would probably be no different from killing people."
That's what I'm talking about.
Wei Dong felt that he suddenly understood materialist dialectics.
"I don't think that monkey demon has the opportunity to say anything to you," Fang Fei has never left room for changing the subject. "If he is really pure, it is impossible not to leave a hint."
"He said," Wei Dong carefully recalled the monkey demon's gestures at the time. At this moment, he stood up and imitated, raised his right hand high, raised it up, and patted to the left three times, and patted two forwards. under.
"Three minds and two minds? Three words and two beats?" Fang Fei felt that she was the least good at guessing such puzzles.
"..." Wei Dong turned around and looked around. It seemed that he suddenly understood something. He changed the direction and did the action again. "I remember, he was facing the south. , I think he is giving us directions."
"What's the position?"
"He was facing the south and raised his hand up a bit to let us walk out of the slaughterhouse and shoot to the left, that is, to go east. I took three shots. I think it should be three streets to the east, and then shot to the front. Two times, you turn south and cross two more streets." Wei Dong said his analysis.
Fang Fei stared at Wei Dong in disbelief, almost suspecting that he had stolen some of Mu Yiran's brain and brought it over.
Wei Dong scratched his head: "I just thought about this on the way, and I don't know if I guessed it right. I just figured it out. He stood facing south, the sun piercing his eyes, and he still He squinted his eyes vigorously, probably to remind me that he was facing the south."
"It shouldn't be too late, let's hurry over and have a look!" Fang Fei has always been resolute and resolute.
Weidong took out the feather fan left by the bird fairy he carried with him, took a piece of white feather from it, and walked to the child. At this time, the child was probably exhausted. Fang Fei put medicine on him. Slowly fell asleep.
Weidong pinned the feathers behind the child's ears, and muttered the spell the old woman taught him at the time. Soon the child's head became like a crane, like a little crane demon asleep.
"The appearance of a person is too dangerous. Sooner or later, he will die in the lion and camel country. We can't keep him forever." Wei Dong said.
Fang Fei looked at Wei Dong and nodded.
The two took care of Xiaoer and asked him to help watch the child.
Wei Dongfangfei set off again to the spot pointed by Chunren.
The two walked in a hurry, and soon reached this small street.
Although the small street is small, it is full of small shops on both sides. Two people look for one shop after another. When they find the end, a gust of wind blows up, blowing the two people's goose feathers. They are all lost. Closed eyes.
Wei Dong rubbed his eyes vigorously before he could barely see clearly, but suddenly found that the bird fairy feathers stuck between his eyelashes were gone.
Fang Fei stared angrily into the goose's eyes, it was obvious that her bird fairy feather was gone.
Wei Dong looked up at the shop in front of him. It turned out to be a painting shop. He opened the door and went in. All the people inside were all monkeys and monsters.
Weidong couldn't tell whether the "pure person" who had pointed him here was among them.
Without the bird fairy feathers, where can "pure human" and "pure demon" be distinguished?
Fang Fei followed, and whispered a little bit irritably, "Where is your fan?"
Wei Dong cried and said, "It's gone, it seems that it was blown away by the demon wind."
There is no retreat, only if it comes, then settle it.
Wei Dong looked at this small painting shop, and the walls were covered with paintings. The monkey guys are busy, some are hanging paintings, and some are trying to dry the ink of these paintings.
Only then did the two realize that the paintings hanging around in this painting shop were actually the same painting! To be precise, the patterns on these hundreds of paintings are all exactly the same!
"Are you a woodblock print?" Fang Fei asked a monkey buddy.
The monkey man said in a courtesy: "Madam is right. The water and land paintings in our shop are the most charming. On New Years and festivals or inviting gods and immortals, the people of the lion and camel country will come to our shop to buy paintings! "
Wei Dong asked: "Why is there only this kind of pattern?"
The monkey guy replied: "This water and land painting is the most effective! This woodblock is made by a and has supernatural power! We little monsters can't paint or make plates!"
Wei Dong further asked: "We are here to buy paintings. I'm afraid there are not enough hangings in this shop."
The monkey buddy also heard that someone bought so many paintings at once.
Wei Dongdao: "I have to go to the workshop to see if your printing speed can catch up with our painting tomorrow."
The monkey buddy didn't push back, and at this time led the two goose demon to the printing workshop behind the shop.
I saw that the monkeys have their own division of labor, some are responsible for coloring the woodblocks, some are responsible for printing, and some are responsible for taking the paintings to dry...
Wei Dong and Fang Fei approached this wooden block and saw that the various fairy figures on it were carved in vivid and lifelike life.
"Does your family only have this woodblock?" Fang Fei asked.
The monkey guy became a little impatient, and he didn’t know what the purpose of these two goose monsters was: "Since the monsters entered the lion and camel kingdom, there has only been this woodblock, and the paintings in every household are also this one. It’s not that I boast, or that the same woodblock print is hung in the King Dapeng’s palace, but the printing material has gold powder, silver powder and gem powder added to it, so the color will not fade easily."
Weidong stared at the woodblock for a while, then glanced at the printed paintings. Weidong had never studied water and land paintings before, and only then discovered that there are various gods and various demons on this painting. , In addition, there are people who are unremarkable like grass.
Fang Fei also watched for a while, but she really didn't understand.
A familiar voice suddenly sounded around me: "Unexpectedly, pure people would still play hide and seek with me."
The two turned their heads in horror, and it turned out to be a python man.
Fang Fei didn’t wait for the python man to speak, she took the lead and said coldly:
In the lion and camel country, people are the food of the demon. The reason why Dapeng established this country is because it can eat people reasonably and legally. Dragon Master and Dapeng Bird There is no difference in identity. They are all demons and cannibals. Why does Young Master Long leave here so hard?"
Indeed, through observations in the lion and camel country for several hours, the two found that two animals that were natural enemies when they were beasts are also friendly neighbors in this country, such as foxes and rabbits, roosters and centipedes, and Weidong. The Harrier and the House Sparrow I saw in Xicuilou.
"I'm afraid Young Master Long has other purposes?" Fang Fei asked further.
The python male smiled inwardly: "Madame Dongfang is really not easy. My dragon is omnipotent in the sky, and how can a small lion and camel country stop my way? I can leave the city at will. Where can I ask him? The golden seal?"
"So, the pure heart is not to be dedicated to the Dapeng bird, but you want to eat it yourself?" Fang Fei said.
The python man vomited a purplish red snake core: "I thought you were two dumb-headed geese who had just entered the city. I didn’t expect to have some brains, nothing more. Today a group of monkeys eat too, and two geese eat too, swallowing you all in. In my stomach, my python can digest it!"
As soon as the male voice of the python appeared, it was a giant python that was as thick as the trunk of an old tree. At this moment, he opened his mouth and sucked into the abdomen the monkey buddy who had greeted the two.
The whole small shop had long been collapsed by the original shape of the python. The other monkey buddies were so scared that they wanted to run around, but they were surrounded by the huge body of the python, and no one could escape.
Wei Dong could no longer tell where the seven inches of this python was, because one of the other's scales was as big as his own palm. Even if he could find the seven inches, he would be unable to hold it.
"Monkeys get out!" Before Fang Fei's words fell, the python's huge mouth came towards Fang Fei, and the cold voice was accompanied by the fishy wind: "Madam Dongfang is too smart, I have to eat you first."
Fang Fei looked very small in front of the python's huge mouth. If eaten by it, it would be like a human eating a dumpling.
Suddenly a gust of wind hits, inciting the python to retreat.
Wei Dong couldn't believe that his hands had actually turned into a pair of giant wings, and his entire body also became larger, his long neck stretched out, and his hard mouth pecked at the top of the python.
Fang Fei is very anxious, knowing that this is probably the function of that half of the dragon ball, and regrets that she has not had time to eat the other half of the dragon ball. Perhaps I felt that the dragon ball was taken out by the python to fool two people, and there was no "demon power multiplier" effect.
Fang Fei touched the treasure box she was carrying and opened it to see that her half of the dragon ball had turned into nothingness.
Fang Fei watched the battle between the snake and the goose before him, and only hated that it was not himself who ate the dragon ball. If it were to be considered combat effectiveness, he was much stronger than Wei Dong.
Fang Fei knew she couldn't help, so she asked the monkeys urgently: "Who are you guys? Who can tell me where the woodblock fragments are?"
One of the monkey demon said: "I don't understand what you are talking about pure and impure. I only know that all people in this city are inhuman. I don't know what woodblock fragments are. There is only one woodblock in the Lion and Camel country. There is no second piece."
The scene was too chaotic, and large swaths of white goose feathers fell down, like a heavy snowfall.
Fang Fei was so anxious that she wanted to cry, but in her heart she warned herself to calm down, carefully recalling what the monkey demon said, there is only one wooden board in the lion camel, there is no second.
That is to say, in fact, the woodblock fragments in the Lion and Camel country can only come from this woodblock!
Fang Fei clenched her fist and walked to the wood block of water and land painting, and slammed it up, bleeding out with a fist, but the wood block was still a single piece of iron, with no cracks.
