Chapter 215 Entering the painting and negotiating terms with the tomb owner
After receiving the anxious affirmation from the other side, Du Yuqian comforted her mother instead: "Mom, don't be afraid, I know a powerful master here. With her mother and my father, I'm sure they will be fine."
She made a lot of promises before hanging up the phone.
"Master Zhou, you must save my father."
She grabbed Zhou Jinyu's hand and said earnestly, "Otherwise, I really don't know who to look for."
Zhou Jinyu said: "Let's go to your house first."
"good."
Du Yuqian made a gesture of invitation to her.
The four of them left the suite and drove to the Du family.
The Du family is well off and lives in a small villa with flowers and grass, creating a nice environment.
"daughter."
Mrs. Du had been waiting in the parking lot. Seeing her daughter was like finding her backbone. "Where's the master you mentioned? Hasn't he arrived yet?"
She glanced at Zhou Jinyu and Fu Tingxiao, and felt that neither of them looked like masters. As for Sun Miaomiao, she knew her.
"Mom, this is the Master Zhou I told you about. She just helped me solve the ghost fan issue. She's the one I told you about whose hotel suite was cleared out for unknown reasons."
Du Yuqian introduced Zhou Jinyu and emphasized that the suite was cleaned up because she was afraid that her mother would show her suspicion to others.
If she offends Zhou Jinyu, her father will never be able to get out of the painting.
Mrs. Du glanced at Zhou Jinyu, smiled apologetically at her, and pulled her daughter aside.
"Daughter, you're not so eager to save your father that you deliberately found someone to impersonate the master?"
Madam Du whispered.
This girl is so young and beautiful that it is more convincing to say that she is a star than a master.
Du Yuqian quickly covered Madam Du's mouth and secretly glanced back at Zhou Jinyu. Seeing that she wasn't looking this way, she breathed a sigh of relief and whispered with a frown, "Mom, didn't I tell you that she's a very powerful master? Do you think I would joke about Dad's life?"
Mrs. Du also knew that her daughter couldn't do it, but...
"Mom, you can't judge a person by his appearance. Master Zhou is really amazing."
Du Yuqian emphasized, "In any case, you should be polite to her later, otherwise she will be mad and run away, and Dad will have to stay in the painting from now on."
Mrs. Du didn't want her husband to be in the painting, so she immediately nodded obediently.
Forget it, no matter whether Zhou Jinyu is a real master or not, let’s give it a try.
"Master Zhou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
When the mother and daughter came back, Mrs. Du apologized politely.
Zhou Jinyu waved her hand, telling her not to be so polite, and said, "Mrs. Du, take me to see the paintings first."
Mrs. Du made a gesture of invitation and took Zhou Jinyu to the living room to see the paintings.
As soon as she entered the living room, Zhou Jinyu keenly sensed a strong evil aura. She looked precisely at the painting hanging on the wall.
This painting must have been unearthed from an ancient tomb not long ago, and it still carries the evil aura of the tomb owner. If an ordinary person with no experience spends a little too long in contact with it, he will be bedridden at best, or die at worst.
Even if I went to the hospital, they couldn't find any symptoms.
"Mrs. Du, where did this painting come from?"
Zhou Jinyu asked.
"It was given to me by an old friend of Lao Du."
Mrs. Du replied, "Old Du loves antique paintings and couldn't let go of this painting of a lady. But within two days of receiving it, he was... drawn into the painting. I was there at the time, but there was no time to pull him out."
When she said this, her brows furrowed and her eyes turned red.
"Master Zhou, can Lao Du still come out?"
"I have to go inside the painting to find out."
Zhou Jinyu said.
Madam Du asked in surprise, "Master Zhou, can you come in?"
Zhou Jinyu nodded.
"Brother Fu, I won't be in for an extended period of time, so please take good care of me."
She said to Fu Tingxiao.
Fu Tingxiao agreed and warned, "Jinyu, you must be extremely careful when entering the painting. If it's too dangerous, come out and don't try to resist it in there."
He almost said it directly, and didn't care whether Mr. Du was dead or alive.
You can say he is selfish, he only cares about whether Zhou Jinyu is safe, and he doesn't care about others.
Zhou Jinyu didn't respond, but leaned over and kissed Fu Tingxiao, saying, "I'm leaving. Wait for me to come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, his soul left his body and turned into a wisp of green smoke and went in.
Fu Tingxiao caught her body.
Mrs. Du could see the wisp of green smoke, and completely dispelled her suspicion of Zhou Jinyu.
This little girl is a true master.
In the painting.
Ancient buildings, carved dragons and painted buildings, winding corridors, rockery and flowing water, birds singing and cicadas chirping. If the air was not filled with lingering evil spirits, this scenery could be said to be perfect.
"Who are you?"
A group of maids ran out, pointed their swords at Zhou Jinyu, and shouted, "This is not the place for you, get out now."
Zhou Jinyu decided to use courtesy before force: "Hello, ladies, my name is Zhou Jinyu, I am a Taoist in the human world, commonly known as a master of metaphysics. I came into the painting today to look for Du Min. As long as you are willing to return him to me, I will leave immediately."
Upon hearing this, the maids' expressions changed slightly.
It turns out he is a master of metaphysics, no wonder he can enter the painting.
"We don't care who you are. We don't have the person you're looking for here. If you persist in causing trouble, don't blame us for being rude."
They denied it flatly.
"Miss, I don't want to embarrass you. If your master is willing to release her, I can personally return the painting to the cemetery and also give her some handsome men. What do you think?"
Zhou Jinyu negotiated with the maid: "Although Du Min is still handsome, he is over fifty after all. There are many things he can't do. It would be better to find someone strong and healthy, sweet-talking and knows how to serve people. He is much better than an old man. Don't you agree?"
The maids looked at each other in confusion.
"Then you wait outside first, I'll go in and ask."
The maid standing in the middle was obviously moved and said so.
"Thank you, Miss."
Zhou Jinyu said politely.
The maid turned and went in.
"Don't try to do anything while my sister is in there, or we will not spare you with our swords."
The remaining maid warned.
Zhou Jinyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Miss, you are really wronging me. I have been polite and courteous since I came in. I have never done anything to you."
If she really wanted to take action, these maids would be no match for her.
Of course, these maids knew that Zhou Jinyu was polite, but they did not dare to take it lightly.
They were once human beings, so of course they know how cunning people can be. They may smile on the surface, but they may stab you when you are not paying attention.
Zhou Jinyu was of course aware of their vigilance, but she didn't say anything.
The maid who went in to deliver the message came out quickly and made a gesture of invitation to Zhou Jinyu.
Zhou Jinyu followed her in and saw the woman in red dress lying on the couch.
She is the owner of the ancient tomb and was a princess in her previous life.
Very good, the painting has been stolen from the princess. Does that mean she has to personally capture Du Min and put him in the painting?
"Little girl, you are the one who said you would send me a handsome man?"
The tomb owner was playing with a hairpin and said nonchalantly.
