Chapter 2 The painting scroll of subduing demons in the old courtyard in barren hills(2/2)

"You are ungrateful and shameless, you are greedy and lustful and you have no moral integrity..."

The voice sounded operatic and vague, but its meaning was very clear. It was mocking the wealthy businessman and his wife and Chang Meng.

Luo Yuer thought to herself, who is speaking for help?

She looked over and saw a person sleeping on the long table in a dark corner.

The man was wearing a blue shirt and had his legs crossed, as if he was sleeping comfortably.

It was the weird young man in blue shirt whom I met when I was going up the mountain.

Why is he here?

Snoring!

Zhao Han, a young man in green shirt, suddenly started snoring.

The sound made people's heads buzz, and the wealthy businessman covered his ears with both hands. Chang Meng got closer, and his ears felt like thunder.

But Zhao Han himself slept soundly.

Chang Meng shook the handle of the knife, "This kid must be a thief if you are so sneaky. I will chop you up, Master Jun!"

"Be careful!" Luo Yu'er couldn't help but said.

Qiu Sheng quickly stopped Chang Meng.

He said that the little brother also passed by tonight, and he lay down and fell asleep as soon as he came in. He would snore and talk in his sleep from time to time. Master, please don't do anything.

At this time, Zhao Han turned over and seemed to have fallen asleep again, and the snoring stopped.

Chang Meng cursed a few more times and then put away the knife.

Luo Yu'er looked at Zhao Han.

This guy is really a complete weirdo. What exactly is he...

At this time, the civil servant by the wall suddenly said:

"Mr. Qiu, your painting "Manjusri Conquering Demons" is probably the original work of Lu Tanwei more than a hundred years ago, right?"

On the scroll on the wall, the Great Wisdom Manjushri Bodhisattva is holding the "Hui Jing Vajra Demon-Slaying Sword", riding a green lion underneath, with its fangs pointing toward the sky.

In the sky opposite, a sharp-horned monster opened its bloody mouth, as if it was about to fly out of the painting and bite people.

Qiu Sheng nodded in agreement.

He said that his father's hobbies in life were "worshiping Buddha" and "calligraphy and painting".

This "Picture of Manjusri Conquering Demons" was acquired by his father by chance and has always been regarded as a treasure. Later, his father converted to Buddhism at home and became a lay Buddhist, and even made the door of his house look like a temple.

A strange smile appeared on the rich businessman's face.

"I bought this painting."

He took out a small golden eagle fox and said to Qiu Sheng:

"What other treasures do you have? Take them out. I bought them all. They are twice the market price. They are enough for you, a poor scholar, to spend half your life."

Luo Yuer thought to herself, this guy is not a good person, why is he so generous all of a sudden?

She was about to remind Qiu Sheng.
Chapter completed!
