dry man, dry soul

The wizard uses a third-party perspective to tell the story, bringing his extremely subjective color.

"The older one is Tang Qingxin, and the younger one is the son, named Tang Haochuan."

Twenty years ago, only Tang Qingxin, the head of the Tang family, and his only son Tang Haochuan remained.At that time, Tang Haochuan was about to come of age, so all the property of the Tang family would naturally be allocated to Tang Haochuan, and Tang Qingxin also registered his personal property at this time, and asked a lawyer to arrange the distribution of the estate after death.

Most of Tang Qingxin's inheritance was inherited by his son, the rest was given to his branch relatives, and the rest was provided to foundations and charitable organizations.The whole distribution is perfect.

This hot spring villa is one of the properties of the Tang family, and it was also what Tang Qingxin planned to give to his son Tang Haochuan.

If you gain something, you have to give something.Tang Haochuan had to learn to deal with all the affairs of the Tang family since he was an adult, including the investments of the Tang family and the companies of the Tang family, and at the same time support the last bloodline of the main branch of the Tang family.It's best to find a woman of the right family and have a baby early, so as to avoid another single pass in the end.

But Tang Haochuan didn't want to inherit the family business, and he wasn't interested in getting married early and having children.He himself has no interest or talent in business.His ancestor was the prime minister, but he was even less interested in being an official.He is not interested in all the jobs that require socializing with the outside world.

Because Tang Qingxin is away all year round, Tang Haochuan's growth environment lacks the support of his parents.He is introverted and likes painting.

He likes Chinese ink painting.It's not that people can't have hobbies, but if the only heir of the Tang family wants to make ink painting a lifelong career, there is a big problem.

Tang Haochuan often locked himself in the room alone, painting for several hours, sometimes even staying up all night.When Tang Qingxin didn't know, the high school sneaked away to take the art test.

Most people have to live near the school for the art test, take the test early in the morning, and ask for leave before returning to high school in the evening.Tang Haochuan's daily expenses are small, and the huge amount of pocket money he has saved is directly used to choose the fastest mode of transportation to ensure that he can go back and forth on the same day.

If I didn't come back in time one day, I also made excuses and said that I would go to a friend's house for a day, and I would return the next day.

Tang Qingxin discovered a problem while filling out the application form.

Tang Haochuan wanted to apply for the Academy of Fine Arts, which had nothing to do with any major that Tang Qingxin wanted him to apply for.

If Tang Haochuan chooses to study business or administration, he will inherit the Tang family after graduating from school, and he will stand above 99% of the people.

But if he chooses to study painting, it is a profession that requires talent and requires him to climb from the bottom.When he graduated, he was just one of the 99% of art students.He might not even be in the top 50%.

The Tang family asked Tang Haochuan to study art just for the sake of self-cultivation, who knew what would happen like this.

"On the first day of Tang Haochuan's adulthood, he and Tang Qingxin came to the hot spring resort to soak in the hot springs." The wizard said, "It is rumored that this hot spring resort can make lovers get married and resolve conflicts between relatives. When the two of them soaked in the hot springs, they thought about saying open the question."

At this point, Chi Jiang vaguely had an answer: "The conflict has not been resolved. Tang Qingxin wanted his son to get back on track, so he burned his son's paintings with a fire? Or did his son burn his own paintings in a fit of anger? In the end, it became a 20 The big fire a few years ago. Logically speaking, the hot spring villa is not short of water, so it shouldn't be so..."

Qiao Jiu nodded to the other Faier who obeyed the wizard: "But there are still these fire-breathing beasts in the hot spring villa. If you untie one, the beasts will run out and breathe fire. Those old buildings with stone and wood structures can quickly Burning. It is too late to rescue."

The beast does not know which things can be burned and which things cannot be burned.

"This altar can summon gods. Gods can make rumors come true." The wizard said slowly, "Tang Haochuan opened the altar in order to get Tang Qingxin to agree to learn painting by himself. He thought that the so-called living sacrifice only needed enough blood...in fact , a living sacrifice needs a truly complete person. What is summoned is not a god, but an evil thing that can only exist for a moment. The sacrifice did not follow the process and failed. He angered the evil thing, all the Fier lost control, and the entire hot spring The villa was engulfed in flames."

Looking at it now, Tang Haochuan did not appear in the hot spring villa, and there is a high probability that something happened 20 years ago.

[Inspiration: 99/70, big failure! 】

Chi Jiang met the wizard's eyes.

The eyes that wizards have are not human eyes, but animal-like eyes.They are transparent with depth, round and full of strangeness.Through these eyes, Chi Jiang clearly realized at this moment that the wizard in front of him was most likely the Tang family, either Tang Qingxin or Tang Haochuan.

If it wasn't for the parties involved, it would never be possible to know so clearly what happened back then.

The picture in front of him was gradually distorted. One second he was listening to the wizard talking about the past, and the next second he heard a young and helpless murmur: "I just want to draw, and I didn't do anything wrong. My father Why do you still want to control me?"

"Song Qi is right. I am an adult and an independent individual. I can fully rely on myself to achieve my goals."

"But he is my father. My father is right. He provided me with a superior environment and sufficient funds. Otherwise, I would not have such a vision at this age, nor would I be able to easily go to learn ink painting. Learn to paint It takes a lot of money."

Chi Jiang knew very well that the young man who had just grown up 20 years ago was going through a choice in the face of preferences and family affection.

For adults who have stepped into society, this kind of choice is ridiculous and naive.Most people will not give up everything in the Tang family, because there is no conflict with the ability to continue painting in the future, and it may even contribute to the painting career.

As long as you distinguish between the primary and the secondary, you will live for decades, and one day you can have both.

But for Tang Haochuan at that time, he fell into a dead end.Even giving up for a short period of time made him extremely depressed.Tang Qingxin provided him with sufficient material conditions, but did not provide him with enough paternal love and normal and reasonable discipline.

For Tang Haochuan, applying to the Academy of Fine Arts is not only a kind of love, but also a kind of protest against Tang Qingxin.

Tang Haochuan was eager to break through the constraints, but Tang Qingxin felt that the little guy was trying to take off as soon as his feathers grew.

This choice is a major event that will determine his future life in the short 18 years of the boy.

From the perspective of a bystander, Chi Jiang spy on Tang Haochuan 20 years ago.

The young man has not grown up yet, and he has neglected fitness exercises. In the growing stage, his body is slender, and his face is even more immature.He frowned, muttered and walked into the tunnel.

He found Fiel, knew the secret of the living sacrifice, and opened the altar that had been dusty for many years.He even took a first aid kit, went to the stone pillar in the center of the altar, injured himself, and poured blood on the things in front of him.

Theoretically, the coagulation speed of human blood is extremely fast, even without a first aid kit, as long as the artery is not injured, the bleeding can be stopped quickly.But how could the altar, which had been covered in dust for many years, let go of the first sacrifice after so many years.

Shizhu wantonly snatched the boy's blood, sticking to his body to prevent people from leaving.

Shouts and fear filled the air, and the originally pretty face became distorted.The Fiels who were tied up around the altar let out roars, spewing out flames that far exceeded the daily heat for the hot spring.The altar is temporarily unsuitable for any creature to survive.

Even a creature like Fier with the head of a cow and horns and snake tail has a strong heat resistance, but still tried to escape to save his life.

The old chains couldn't withstand the high temperature of the flames and the pull of Fier, the animals ran out, and the whole hot spring villa was covered in flames when the angle of view turned.

The blazing heat of the fire rushed to the face, accompanied by the sound of crackling.The underground hot spring water is gradually boiling and bubbling.The kind of heat wave that surpassed the critical limit of the human body baked the surface of the pool to tight.

Of course, more than one person was the victim of the real fire.The sound of fleeing footsteps in a panic, the screams coming out of all directions, accompanied by Chi Jiang and the shouts they heard when they first arrived at the underground hot spring, and the clang of chime bells.

"Yah-ah-"

The long tone seems to have made more than one person in the hot spring villa a sacrifice.The altar has also changed from the original underground square to the entire hot spring villa as a sacrifice.Chi Jiang intuitively knew that Tang Haochuan's father, Tang Qingxin, was also affected by the disaster at this hot spring resort.

The strong sadness was almost uncontrollable, arising from deep in Ikesho's heart and spreading to the corners of his eyes.

However, the scalding heat completely evaporated the moisture, leaving no chance for tears to flow.

【理智[1/1-10]：1，判定为理智-1。】

Chi brought everything in his sight back to reality, and was still so suppressed that he could barely breathe.

Shen Yu asked the wizard beside him: "So the two members of the Tang family suffered at the same time, and this hot spring villa was bought by Song Qi with a huge sum of money. Generally speaking, this kind of building has insurance and government subsidies. His repair expenses should not be paid. It didn't cost much. What do you mean he's a liar?"

The wizard was indifferent: "If it wasn't for his instigation, Tang Haochuan wouldn't have taken the art exam in a hurry. The higher the cost, the more reluctant he was to give up. Taking advantage of the accidents of the two principals of the Tang family, the property changed owners. He was close to the Tang family just for money. Even if there is a little affection, that will be a matter of later."

The three young people present were noncommittal.

Chi Jiang came to his senses after a while: "You are Tang Qingxin. Song Qi thinks that Tang Haochuan took this step because of you. So he wants to kill you. You also resent him, thinking that the fuse of all this is his instigation, So you want to kill him."

In this unpredictable world full of monsters, there are many existences that ordinary people cannot understand.

"In order to save your life, you became what you are now. He returned to the hot spring villa and paid a huge price to be able to deal with you. He is still raising snakes in the forest of the hot spring villa." It seems that the probability is not high. People again.

But Song Qi looked a bit more human than Tang Qingxin anyway, maybe it was because the snake's mucus kept warm better, or maybe he had other means of control.

Chi Jiang sighed.

"A small incident ended up like this. Even if it turned out like this, there is no intention of restraining myself." Tang Haochuan is the worst and most deadly person among all people. At a young age, the future is bright, but in the end he killed himself up.

The wizard sneered: "My purpose now is to transform back into a human and live. His purpose is much more than that."

At the same time, far away under the snake tree, Song Qi slightly looked up at the sky and the moon rising, and said to Gu Xijia indifferently: "I want to resurrect someone. Resurrection, Tang Haochuan."
