Chapter 72: Things in the Painting

Clatter!

Seeing Chu Tianshu carried Su Ha to the shore and found that fine blood threads were already flowing from his eyes and ears, and he had stopped breathing.

Originally, there was only this one left, and he wanted to catch a live one.

But during that confrontation with mental power, it was inconvenient for him to hold back; the opponent should have squeezed his mental power too much, causing a cerebral hemorrhage.

Seeing Chu Tianshu threw the corpse on the ground and frowned at Su Ha's mouth.

Just now, this person bit his own tongue, but the bleeding in his mouth was not obvious now; his cheeks were bulging, and there was a kind of green deepening in his mouth.

More than a dozen tender green willow branches swam out of his mouth like living snakes, automatically forming the shape of a small doll.

It was clearly a disgusting scene.

Yet that fresh and tender color was heart-stirring, as if it were extremely full of vitality.

The rough appearance of the doll made one inexplicably feel it was very cute; the tender buds on its face just happened to form thick and short eyebrows and eyes, tiger-headed and tiger-brained, simple and innocent.

It was the kind of appearance that, if thrown on the side of the road, could attract a large crowd to watch and scramble to play with.

Hiss!

A silver needle was nailed to the head of the willow doll.

Seeing Chu Tianshu's expression didn't change, his left hand flicked rapidly, like a piano master playing at the most intense part.

A full twenty-something silver needles were successively stuck into the willow doll.

There was a needle at the head and the tips of the four limbs, and the needles on the torso were even more closely connected, arranged in a grid pattern of four verticals and five horizontals.

Seeing Chu Tianshu pointed his right hand downward.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"

The willow doll collapsed with a bang.

Evil spirits attached to human bodies are mostly closely connected to the person.

Even the gold-swallowing beast face on the old eunuch Chen would become silent after the old eunuch died.

Like this willow doll, having no integrity, the moment the former master died, it couldn't wait to lure a new master.

Seeing Chu Tianshu had seen it in books, but this was the first time he had encountered it in reality.

【Willow Spirit Old Body: There is a Willow Spirit Child, after a long time, it breaks free from its shackles, leaves the body to become a spirit and cause trouble, infiltrates the Spirit Realm, and fails to return.

A new evil spirit is born in the old body, still restrained by the Spirit Realm child from afar, and taken as an envoy.

Characteristics: A person possessed by this wood spirit shares the status of an envoy, and the difficulty of performing Jiangtou arts is reduced by 30%.

Serving the Spirit Realm child as master, in communication, sacrifice, and blessing, one can use the old body to filter out impurities from the Spirit Realm and maintain the sanity of the possessed person for longer.】

The sound of a vehicle driving came from not far away.

Fang Jun made an emergency stop, pushed open the car door, and asked.

"What's the situation?"

The loud noise of Seeing Chu Tianshu smashing the car into the pond and Li Kang's roar had attracted the attention of many people nearby.

Some households had already poked their heads out to look.

Fang Jun turned his head and scanned, took a fist-sized warning light out of the van, placed it on the roof, and pressed the switch.

The red and blue lights in the warning light lit up and began to rotate.

"I don't know the background of these three people, but they didn't even meet, and they started killing; first the Glass Curse, then the Stone Curse, each more vicious than the last."

Seeing Chu Tianshu looked disgusted and looked at A Luo, who had died further away.

"And that one, he actually had Mother-Child Nails on his hand; looking at the aura, it was refined by the Jiangtou master at my feet."

Fang Jun also frowned, squatted down to search the body, and found a mobile phone from Su Ha's inner chest pocket.

Seeing Chu Tianshu said: "It should have been damaged by mental power."

Fang Jun said: "Don't underestimate the technicians in our branch; maybe it can be repaired."

Seeing Chu Tianshu nodded: "That's fine, there is another corpse in the pond, there might be a mobile phone on him too."

Fang Jun pondered: "Strange, other trades in the city like to play with Feng Shui, and the only people who deal more with Jiangtou masters are those in the entertainment industry. Why did the one casting the curse run here?"

"Could it be aimed at me? Come to think of it, when I was handling cases before, I did deal with quite a few people in the entertainment industry..."

Seeing Chu Tianshu's ears stirred, and he turned his head to look.

He saw Yin Fengxin standing in the courtyard of Fang Jun's house, looking dumbfounded.

Seeing Chu Tianshu walked over: "Didn't I tell you to stay in the basement? When did you come out?"

"I heard a very loud noise..."

Yin Fengxin's expression was subtle, as if in a dream, looking at the warning light, the sunken car, the dead person, and swallowing his saliva.

"I, so, did I accidentally eat some medicine and become that kind of biochemical modification experimental subject?"

"Is it because of the free drinks in a certain store? I've heard for a long time that the free drinks in some stores have improper sources."

"You guys aren't a social investigation group, but a special operations team, investigating cases and finding me, right?"

The more Yin Fengxin thought about it, the more he felt it was so, clenching his fists, seemingly feeling a mission on his shoulders.

"Are there already many cases of modified humans in the dark corners of the city?"

"Understood, I must be a rare living specimen, which is why someone came to silence me."

"Brother Chu, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with your research and come up with an antidote serum soon."

Hearing this, Seeing Chu Tianshu stopped, pursed his lips, and smiled half-heartedly.

"Brother Yin, you, actually don't like watching workplace dramas, but like watching sci-fi dramas, right?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu couldn't hold back and let out two laughs, then thought and said, "Anyway, your situation is no longer that dangerous, so I'll tell you the truth."

He brought Yin Fengxin back into the living room and explained the general situation in a few words.

Fang Jun is indeed a person from a special department, but Yin Fengxin was not modified, but possessed by an evil spirit.

Yin Fengxin listened and couldn't help but touch his own waist, full of shock and doubt.

"Magical arts?"

Yin Fengxin was stunned for a while, then suddenly remembered another thing, and said, "If so, could it be that in urban legends, every casino has a Feng Shui layout, eating people's money and making people not want to leave, are these effects also real?"

"They exist, but those Feng Shui layouts have wide coverage and have to compete with each other, and the gamblers must have those thoughts in their hearts first; after soaking in them for a long time, the influence is greater."

Seeing Chu Tianshu explained a few sentences, pulled open the drawer next to him, and took out the painting.

"In fact, even this painting has something to do with magical arts; it was mostly left by the famous Li Shizhen of the Ming Dynasty, hiding medical manuals and poison prescriptions inside."

"Unfortunately, I pour mental power into it every day, and until now it still..."

As Seeing Chu Tianshu spoke, he naturally radiated mental power.

Ten seconds later, he suddenly felt that the speed at which the painting absorbed mental power clearly had a downward trend.

Seeing Chu Tianshu gave a light "eh," his eyes fixed on the painting, becoming focused.

Two minutes later, the ancient painting suddenly shook.

Seeing Chu Tianshu let go of his palm.

A layer of transparent flames rose on the surface of the ancient painting, suspended in mid-air, and rolled up rapidly, like a hard short stick.

In the firelight, one could vaguely see the fibers of the painting paper and scroll decomposing and reorganizing.

Seeing Chu Tianshu's eyes were reflected by the firelight, feeling something, and reached out to catch it.

The firelight in the air was extinguished, and the deformed ancient painting fell into his hands.

"This?"

Seeing Chu Tianshu showed a look of surprise.

What was in his hand was no longer a painting, but a beige long sword.

On the sword body, there was not a trace of the pigments that should have been in the original scroll; except for the beige color of the whole body, there were only some textures similar to the cross-section of tree roots.

The generation of divine physicians who were famous for their proficiency in pharmacology, traveled through dangerous mountains and rivers, and verified herbs, the senior Li Shizhen!

The thing he painstakingly left in the ancient painting was actually...

A sword?!
