Lying down to the underworld starts: Oops, I’m dead

The clouds are like clothes and the flowers are like faces; the spring breeze blows over the threshold and the flowers are gorgeous.

If we hadn't met on the top of the Jade Mountain, we would have met under the moon at Yaotai.

No man can resist the charm of Yang Guifei, one of the four great beauties. Even Dong Qing is no exception. He was so obsessed with the painting that he didn't wake up until three days later.

Dongqing woke up and went to the convenience store, grabbed something and started eating. Xiaoya had been waiting for a long time, and Hu Ming had also been waiting for a long time.

"I'm going to kill you, take the painting back, and kill you"

Hu Ming rushed into the convenience store with a sharp knife in his hand, pounced on Dong Qing and was about to stab Dong Qing with the blade in his hand. Dong Qing grabbed Hu Ming's hand and held it tightly to prevent it from falling.

However, Dong Qing had been so immersed in painting these days that he was too weak and almost couldn't hold Hu Ming's hand, which had been scratched and hollowed out. At this time, Zhao Li appeared in time and pushed Hu Ming away, allowing Dong Qing to catch his breath.

After Dongqing was out of crisis, he did not thank Zhao Li immediately. Instead, he quickly went out, hailed a taxi and left the convenience store, ignoring Xiaoya's loud calls from behind.

At this time, in the convenience store, Hu Ming was telling Zhao Li and Lin Zheng about the origin of his painting, while Zhao Li and Lin Zheng were listening quietly on the side.

"I found that painting in an antique shop in Japan"

After hearing this sentence, Lin Zheng immediately understood what it meant. He clapped his hands in sudden enlightenment.

"Oh, I almost forgot about this thing, Brother Li. I told you to come back soon but you didn't believe me. You insisted on taking me to the underworld to show off your power. Now look what happened. Dongqing has been bewitched, right?"

Lin Zheng started to blame Zhao Li as soon as he opened his mouth, but Zhao Li couldn't help but glared at Lin Zheng.

I don't know who has been lingering in the underworld and refuses to leave. He says he won't return home even if he is rich and powerful. It's like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes, always showing off the aura of the Ghost Emperor, and almost everyone he knows has shown off to them. Now he blames me.

"That's enough, kid. Stop messing around here."

Lin Zheng didn't dare to say anything after being glared at by Zhao Li. In fact, he couldn't blame Zhao Li, because he also forgot. Lin Zheng thought he was going to meet the Fifth Young Master and forgot about the painting for a moment.

There's no way, the memory is too old and a bit fuzzy.

"You said you would help me find it back, don't lie to me."

Hu Mingke didn't care about the conversation between Zhao Li and Lin Zheng. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to get the painting back.

So he grabbed Zhao Li's hand as if he was grabbing a life-saving straw. Zhao Li didn't bother to pay attention to him and knocked him out with a knife. This scene happened to be seen by Xiaoya who had just come in.

"Hey, what did you do to him?"

"There is a demonic aura on him, and the demon is about to suck all her energy dry."

Zhao Li explained to Xiaoya, and Xiaoya instantly understood what Zhao Li was talking about based on her experiences over the past few days.

“Yes, that painting.”

"Don't say any more, go find Dongqing quickly, if it's any later Dongqing will probably be in trouble."

Seeing that the two of them were about to talk for a long time, Lin Zheng reminded them. After hearing this, Zhao Li immediately stood up, and several people got in Zhao Li's car and headed towards Dong Qing's rental house.

In fact, Dong Qing had only received the painting a few days ago, and the situation was not that critical yet. Zhao Li even had the leisure to tell a story in the car. However, as soon as Zhao Li opened his mouth to speak a few words in English, he was retorted by Xiao Ya.

"speak nicely"

After hearing this, Zhao Li stopped showing off his English and started to introduce a Japanese legend.

"There is a legend in Japan that during the reign of Emperor Toba, there was an extremely beautiful woman named Tamamonomae. Because of her beauty, she was favored by the emperor. Once the emperor fell in love with this girl, he ignored state affairs."

Zhao Li was talking while driving, and Xiao Ya was sitting in the passenger seat and listening attentively. As for Lin Zheng and Hu Ming, one was sleeping and the other had his head down, no one knew what they were thinking.

"This girl asked him to kill the court officials and bring disaster to the country and the people. In the end, the emperor also got a strange disease. The ministers became suspicious and sent the Yin-Yang master Abe Yasunari to investigate secretly. In the end, they found out that Tamamonomae was a thousand-year-old nine-tailed fox demon."

"Nine-tailed Fox Demon"

When Xiaoya heard this, she immediately spoke in surprise. She felt that this story seemed somewhat familiar, and Zhao Li also knew what she was thinking.

“Does it feel particularly familiar?”

"Yes"

Xiao Ya nodded blankly in response. Lin Zheng, who was sitting behind her, rolled his eyes. How could he not be familiar? Anyone who had read The Investiture of the Gods would feel familiar.

"In Chinese history, Su Daji"

"Oh, it does look alike. What does that have to do with this painting?"

Xiaoya hit the nail on the head. Zhao Li had been talking for so long but actually didn't get to the point. This story actually has nothing to do with this painting. It is related to another story.

However, when Zhao Li tells a story, he always starts with criticism before praising it, which can reflect his broad knowledge. Now Zhao Li speaks again and tells a different version.

"The version of the legend I heard is something you haven't heard at all. What I heard is that Su Daji and Tamamonomae are the same person. Jiang Ziya hunted down Su Daji, and Su Daji escaped to Japan by hiding in a painting, using the magic of a quack to bring back the soul."

"Resurrection Technique"

Xiao Ya muttered the magic trick that Zhao Li had mentioned, and Zhao Li sorted things out.

"An ancient Japanese painting appeared in this incident. The time and place are all there, but the characters are missing. Let me see the painting when the time comes."

After hearing what Zhao Li said, Xiao Ya nodded in agreement, and Lin Zheng who was sitting in the back laughed. Xiao Ya was stunned by Brother Li's trick. In fact, Brother Li had been talking for a long time but still didn't get to the point.

It doesn't even say what the painting is.

However, Lin Zheng also knew that Li Ge was very capable and knowledgeable enough to guess all these based on just a few clues, so he didn't plan to sabotage him, lest Li Ge get angry and beat him up.

It didn't take long for Zhao Li to drive to Dongqing's rental house. Xiaoya kept knocking on the door and calling Dongqing but was stopped by Zhao Li.

"Ah, hey, hey, stop knocking. It's useless. Dongqing's mind has been controlled by the painting."

"I told you, you seem like a different person these past two days. So, go in and open the door for me."

Xiaoya then understood why Dongqing had changed so much recently, and then she asked Zhao Li to go in and open the door for her. Zhao Li nodded, but in just a moment Zhao Li figured it out a little bit and said to Xiaoya.

"No, how can I get in? I don't have the key."

But after hearing what Zhao Li said, Xiao Ya rolled his eyes at Zhao Li and then said to Zhao Li.

"You are a ferryman, so you can't walk through walls."

"I really want to slap myself in the face. How could I have forgotten? Do you want to join me?"

"OK"

Xiao Ya of course readily agreed to Zhao Li's request, and Zhao Li nodded and asked Xiao Ya to follow his actions.

"Follow me, Lord Lao, hurry up and follow my command, go!"

Zhao Li directly rammed into the wall and Xiao Ya followed Zhao Li's move and rammed into the door, but the difference was that Zhao Li stopped halfway.

But Xiaoya didn't do that. She bumped into the wall and screamed in pain, holding her head and wanting to cry but having no tears. Seeing Xiaoya like this, Zhao Li on the side couldn't help but laugh.

"You're stupid, you need this to open the door"
