In the evening, the dim and slightly tipsy sunlight penetrated into the study along the window, shining on the young man's tough and handsome face.
It should have been a peaceful picture, but when I looked closely, I found that the young man's temples were covered with sweat, and he was holding an antique scroll in his hand and did not dare to move.
"Five hundred years ago, the masterpiece "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture" by the master painter Liu Beihong, is a favorite antique that the family master has treasured for many years, what should I do now!"
Just now, Lin Shan, a disciple of the Lin family's outer courtyard, was assigned to clean the head of the family's study for the first time.
When I was carefully holding the "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture" to dust off, a transparent picture suddenly appeared in my eyes.
In the background is a mysterious disk, distributed in the eight areas of Qiandui Lizhen, Xunkan Genkun, with various pictograms and mountain birds, fish and insects depicted on it, and there is a string of hints in the middle:
【Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture】
Ancient rhyme: 5 points
Is it absorbed?
……
Lin Shan reacted to the excitement at that time, after 10 years, my golden finger finally came!
You must know that in his previous life, he was just a social animal youth, and after graduation, he joined the 996 company and added bricks to the boss's dream.
As a result, one night while he was sleeping soundly, his boss suddenly called and asked him to go to the company in the middle of the night to change his plan. I had to go out on a thunderstormy night, but as soon as I went out, a bolt of lightning across the sky struck directly...
When he woke up, he found that he had traveled to another world, and his soul was worn by a 6-year-old boy named Lin Shan.
This world is similar to the ancient feudal period, the original owner was born in the Lin family in Qinghe County, the Song Dynasty, and was added as a collateral branch child.
As we all know, after the time travel, both parents died, and there was no sister and no house, which is the standard for the time-traveler's counterattack! At that time, Lin Shan was excited for a long time, and finally ended 996 and wanted to start a life of good fortune!
As a result, 10 years passed in a flash, and he had no strong cultivation talent, nor did he have any holy pupils, let alone any old grandfather. I can only barely practice in the family's outer courtyard, and I usually have to do odd jobs as usual.
Seeing that he is about to become an adult at the age of 16, his true qi has not been cultivated, and he will leave the Lin family to make a living according to the family rules.
But who would have thought that it would suddenly come into operation today!
Lin Shan excitedly looked at the transparent panel in front of him, and solemnly chose "yes" in the "yes/whether to absorb the ancient rhyme".
Afterwards...
There is no then...
...
Lin Shan, who had been waiting for a long time, was confused, but when he came back to his senses, he suddenly found that the "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture" in his hand seemed to have suddenly become light, as if something important had been taken away.
And the place where he was holding his fingers even faintly sank in, and the area around the scroll was densely cracked, and fine ash fell down.
Finally, after a careful stalemate for a while, this precious famous painting shattered into a cloud of dust on the ground.
Lin Shan was instantly in a cold sweat, the head of the family is an antique calligraphy and painting fanatic, especially fond of "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture", and the Lin family knows everything. According to rumors, he had to play for a while every night before he was willing to sleep.
It's good now, I have a side branch at the outer door, the family is helpless, and there is no way out for the poor boy above. If you are found out by the family, you will be expelled from the house at best, or crippled at worst!
What to do now?
Lin Shan thought left and right in a hurry, and really couldn't think of any useful way. I had to clean up the traces of the scene and slip out of the study quietly.
I can only hope that no one will find out for the time being.
Lin Shan was worried on the way back to his residence, and at the same time thought about where the golden finger went, what could "Gu Yun" do?
......
After dinner, in the square of the outer courtyard of the family, hundreds of clansmen gathered around a large pile, each of them did not dare to breathe more, faintly exuding a heavy atmosphere.
Lin Shan stood in the crowd with uneasiness, feeling something bad in his heart.
"I just received the news that the "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture" in the head of the family's study has disappeared, who among you knows the inside story?"
The speaker was an old man, Deacon Lin, who was in charge of the outer courtyard by his family, who had been off work at night and planned to go to Goulan to listen to music and watch a play, but was pulled over to find someone.
It sounds like the head of the family's baby "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture" has disappeared. He was still playing last night, but he disappeared strangely tonight, and the head of the family was naturally furious.
The thief in the study had a way of first investigating the inside of the family, so there was this scene just now.
The square was quiet and terrifying, a storm seemed to be slowly brewing, and everyone was shocked in their hearts, how could someone dare to steal the patriarch's treasure?
Lin Shan was even sweating on his back, and he felt a faint chill in his heart, he didn't expect the reaction of the clan to be so fast!
In the evening, I had just accidentally destroyed the ancient painting, and it was discovered in less than two hours, and the investigation immediately began.
Fortunately, the ancient painting had turned into fly ash, and they had cleaned up the traces, so they could not find this object no matter what. If there is no evidence at that time, it may be very likely that it will not be resolved...
But then his fluke mentality was broken.
"Okay, let me change the question, from early morning to evening this morning, who has ever entered the head of the family's study?"
Deacon Lin's eyes swept back and forth at everyone, as if he wanted to see through their hearts, and the momentum of the superior who had been cultivated over the years of power and blessing in the clan was vividly reflected at this moment.
……
"I went to the study early this morning to cut flowers and sprinkle water..."
"I'm going to the study at noon today to add paper grinding..."
A man and a woman stood up, the man's name was Lin Fan, the woman's name was Lin Shu, and Lin Shan was about the same age, and they were all orphans cultivated by the outer courtyard since childhood.
"I'm going to the study this evening to sweep the dust..."
Lin Shan bit the bullet and stood in front of others, panicking, after all, today's task was arranged by the steward last night, and the denial would also be found.
Deacon Lin collected evidence from various sources, inquired with several stewards, and locked in that the three of them had entered the study today, so he called out to him one by one.
"Did you find the painting still there when you went in?"
The three of them waved their hands again and again, saying they didn't know, claiming that they were concentrating on their work and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Deacon Lin's gloomy old face gradually sank, but his mouth was still seducing.
"I don't need to say more about the preciousness of this antique, and you can't afford it, take advantage of the fact that you are honest and lenient now, otherwise you will find out later..."
Lin Shan and the three of them were silent, and no one dared to answer.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and countless pairs of eyes converged behind him, like thorns in his back.
"Search all three of them for me, all over their bodies and where they live, and you can't let go of every corner!"
......
About two quarters of an hour later, the three of them were searched inside and out, and three piles of things found from their homes were piled up in the yard.
Lin Shan has the fewest items, an ordinary iron sword, sheets and bedding, etc.
Lin Shu is a girl, with more clothes and dressing supplies.
In addition to daily things, he even found a box of silver tickets, and even a lot of elixirs, weapons, cheats, etc.
All the clansmen in the courtyard looked surprised, most of them had never seen so much money in their lives.
Shenhao mingles in the lower class to experience life?
Lin Shan was also shocked. Didn't this kid have the same parents as me? Hidden so deeply?
Deacon Lin also felt incredible, the belongings he had saved for most of his life were only a few hundred taels, and he was afraid that he was not as good as Lin Fan!
……
"Lin Fan, tell me, how did you get these things?" Deacon Lin asked.
Lin Fan was still confused at this time, he was originally hiding well in the family. Why was he inexplicably involved in the robbery of the patriarch's study!
At the moment, I had no choice but to clench my fists.
"Deacon, this is my personal belongings, and it has nothing to do with the theft of "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture", right?"
Deacon Liu looked suspicious, "Your personal accumulation? You kid do odd jobs all day long, and the monthly salary in the clan is only consistent, how can you do so much?"
Lin Fan was speechless for a while, and hesitated for a long time.
At this time, some people in the yard were already suspicious and began to make up for it on their own.
A steward behind Deacon Liu was the first to make a hypothesis: "The money he searched for at home was not to take "Spring River Drama Mandarin Pictures" to the black market or pawn shop, right?"
There were more whispers in the crowd on the field, and most people thought it was very likely, after all, "Spring River Drama Mandarin Picture" is a masterpiece that has been passed down for 500 years, and it is possible to meet the right buyer.
And after searching for the painting again, I couldn't find it, and the other two of the three looked poor, so Lin Fan's box of silver bills was naturally the most suspicious.
Deacon Lin also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Lin Fan was the first to enter the study in the morning, and he did have the most time to deal with this painting."
Public opinion pointed the finger at Lin Fan for a while.
……
And the initiator Lin Shan stood aside, a little confused at this time.
Is this the rhythm of others taking the blame for me?
Others don't know, but he remembers that he activated the golden finger and sucked something called "ancient rhyme" from the painting, and he didn't know what the "ancient rhyme" could do.
However, the big disaster he caused in front of him happened to be blamed by others. Lin Shan's tense heartstrings loosened slightly, but his conscience was a little uneasy, and he didn't know how to deal with himself for a while.
But at this time, the atmosphere in the venue had already fermented a little, and everyone was speculating about the origin of Lin Fan's silver notes.
I saw him slowly touch his chin, let out a long sigh, and then said to himself: "After all, I can't hide it..."
"Then... Don't pretend."
Everyone's breath suddenly froze, and in an instant, it seemed that Lin Fan straightened his back, revealing his angular edges, his eyebrows were like sharp sword blades, and the corners of his eyes flashed with confidence!
With his hands behind him, there was no wind within a square inch, and his clothes were rustling behind him!
Then the corners of his mouth twitched faintly, three points of bitter smile, six points of helplessness, it seemed that there was still one point... Evil spirit?
I only heard him speak slowly in a clear voice.
"When I was fourteen years old, I strayed into the mountains and fell off a cliff, hanging on the green pines in the mountain stream. After surviving the catastrophe, he entered the cave between the cliffs, which turned out to be the mantle of inheritance left by a peerless master..."
