"I took that painting into my grandmother's yard, and unfolded the painting in front of my grandmother. The ghost in the painting really broke free from the paper, jumped out, and directly merged into my grandmother's body. My grandmother went crazy After screaming for a while, other servants were attracted. Her most loyal old servant who had been with her all her life was paralyzed on the ground, unable to move at all. Their master and servant... were all killed by that ghost. Dead At that time, the same scar appeared on my face. I looked at the painting again, and the female ghost was still on it, so I burned it, and asked the monk to recite scriptures to save me...Of course my father would not bypass me. I was driven to On the Zhuangzi in the countryside. Later, my father took my younger siblings to work as officials in other places, so I escaped from home and traveled all over the world, drawing for others. After returning home for many years, I didn’t know the ancestral house in my home , fields, all sold, and no one knows what happened to my father and the others. But the story of my family has been spread. My house has also become a local haunted house."

Ye Zhengyi shook his head sighingly and closed his mouth.

"That female ghost..." The thin man became curious.

Ye Zhengyi said: "It's an old-fashioned story. The female ghost is an outer room of my grandfather. Before my grandmother entered the door, she followed my grandfather. After my grandmother entered the door, she abused her. I My grandfather begged an official from another place, took his people away from home, and never looked back once he left. When the outer room died, my grandmother and my great-grandparents begged him several times before he came home. My grandmother was very angry about this Yu Huai, but before my grandfather was alive, she did not dare to mention this matter again. After my grandfather passed away, she immediately took action. After many years, she finally found the grave in the outer room and sent someone to take her Depressed. You should have guessed it. At that time, my mother encountered a ghost. The female ghost went directly to the main courtyard. She was tied there back then and was abused by my grandmother. She is The kind of delirious ghost that only knows hatred and revenge. After my mother died, she should have been reincarnated. But I drew my mother... After all, I killed my stepmother."

Ye Zhengyi lowered his eyes, "My ability... is the ominous ability. After I left home, I stopped painting people and changed to landscapes and landscapes. I thought it would be all right, but who knew it would bring disaster to people. Later, I thought about closing my pen and not painting anymore. But at that time, I had already gained fame, and no one knew about the disaster. I was forced by high-ranking officials, and I couldn’t be completely free. I changed my mind, why not change Painting beauties. There are always places where bones are buried in these mountains and rivers. On the contrary, there are countless supernatural things. Painting beauties saves a lot of trouble. Those who seek paintings may not necessarily have seen those beauties. What kind of eyebrows and eyes do I have? It's all up to me to decide, so I feel free."

"You didn't paint landscapes after that?" I asked.

Ye Zhengyi smiled, "That's naturally impossible. I am also curious. After knowing my ability, I will no longer give the painting to others. But when I have nothing to do, when I travel to the mountains and rivers, I will give my paintings to others. See the paintings. Most of them were burned by myself. There are only a few, which are too powerful... The place I painted is too fierce, and I can't burn it even if I want to. Either bury it on the spot or throw it in the river Among them... there are also rumors after my death that my paintings are more famous than before my life, some people collect them, and some people have worked hard to find my paintings and destroy them."

"What about Liu Che?" I asked again.

Ye Zhengyi was silent for a moment, "I didn't lie to you. I didn't lie to you completely. I was indeed killed by Liu Che, held hostage by Liu Che, and forced to paint. Painting. They wanted to present beauties to the prince. They didn’t know who came up with the idea, so they found me. What they wanted was nothing more than some means of hype. At that time, I was already famous for painting beauties, and they made up some nonsense I said that it was the most beautiful woman I had ever drawn, which attracted the attention of many people. After I drew the picture, I was imprisoned by them for a period of time. No matter what I said, they said that I was willing to cooperate, but they did not believe it. I felt that I was going to be murdered, so I encountered a fire. This may be God's will. The fire didn't burn me to death back then, and let me see my own ability. This time, I died in the sea of ​​fire.

"The person who set the fire was Liu Che. He was a relative of the emperor at that time, and he used his status to chase chickens and dogs everywhere, just like a devil in the world. He set the fire in order to distract the guards and meet that beauty , didn’t know that I was locked up nearby. When I died, I didn’t realize it. I was still waiting to die. He found me and dragged me out directly. I was dragged by him and hid, and I heard the fire Some people said they found my body. I felt as if I had been struck by lightning, and I was in a daze. I didn't listen to what those people said afterwards. They probably mentioned my identity, which made Liu Che aware. Liu Che only felt that Xinqi didn't care about that beauty anymore, dragged me back to his house, and interrogated me. After that, he forced me to paint again..."

Ye Zhengyi lowered his head, "I didn't know his identity at the time. I was just resentful and drew something from my memory... Liu Che naturally encountered a ghost. His house was haunted by ghosts and there was no peace. He is very smart. , immediately realized the problem. After he burned my painting, I thought he would hate me and try his best to destroy me, but he was so excited and asked me to draw other things. He asked me if I imagined it He asked me about the origin of the ghosts. I had a good time getting along with him. At that time, I didn’t know what to do next, so I ate and drank at his house, thinking about my next destination.

"At that time, I had already painted Huangquan Road and ghost messengers. I naturally knew that people should go to hell after death and wait for reincarnation. But I didn't want to leave this world just like that. I made excuses for myself and wanted to see Family members who have been separated for many years. I asked Liu Che for help, and he agreed. I think I was afraid... I was afraid that after entering the underworld, I would see that female ghost, my grandmother, my stepmother and my mother... They may still be waiting in the underworld. I don't want to meet them, but I want to know how they are doing.

"I didn't wait to come to Liu Che to find news about my family. He brought back news that the beauty had been taken away by the prince, and within a few days, news came that the prince was ill. A few guys were also caught in the prison. The emperor still wanted to find me. Liu Che asked if I had tampered with it... I finished the picture that day and looked at it. The beauty is fine, and she doesn't have a ghost ...I don't know what went wrong. I thought that this matter had nothing to do with me, but Liu Che took me to see the prince, and when he came back, he asked me to paint again. After I finished the painting, there was a gust of wind Suddenly, there are ghosts howling in the painting.

"Both of us don't know what happened. I don't want to meddle in this business, but Liu Che cares about it. Taking the opportunity, he took me through the entire Prince's Mansion, and drew them all before we can confirm the problem. The root is actually in that piece of land. Huangquan Road... just passed by that piece of land. Judging from the scene in the painting, this Huangquan Road was newly diverted. Liu Che took me all the way to search again, and found the whereabouts of ghost messengers in the world point."
