Chapter 248 One Seventeenth, the Second Soul Painting (5k)
It was a simple meal, without even meat, and because Lu Jing added water according to the standard line on the rice cooker, the rice had a little too much moisture.
Lu Jing was quite happy with the meal. After a day's rest, she had a very peaceful sleep, which made her feel that she had almost recovered her energy.
She didn't remember most of the things in her dream, but vaguely remembered that there seemed to be an old immortal wearing a red robe and ancient costume, with a kind face, shining with warm light, and talking to her a lot.
She remembered that her mother was harmed by some ghost and got a disease she didn't remember, so she became more and more cold recently and didn't even answer her phone calls.
Then she didn't remember anything else, but she only remembered what she thought at that time.
Her mother had taken care of her for twenty-one years and loved her for twenty-one years, and she also wanted to love her back. She believed that she would definitely get better.
After dinner, Lu Jing cleaned up the dishes and washed the dishes quickly, watching her mother change her clothes and go out.
"Mom, are you going out to dance square dance?"
"I made an appointment with someone. There will be a square dance competition in a few days. If you win first place, each person will get a down jacket. It is said that the good down jacket can withstand minus 20 to 30 degrees."
"Puff..." Lu Jing couldn't help laughing: "How can you wear such a down jacket in Yuzhou?"
"What do you know? I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving." Lu Jing's mother opened the door. After thinking for a while, she said casually: "If you are hungry tonight, go steam two steamed buns yourself."
Lu Jing walked forward, hugged her mother, and put her head on her mother's shoulder.
"It's okay if you lose. I have a scholarship of 1,800 yuan. I will buy you one."
Her mother stretched out her hand with a hint of helplessness in her eyes. She seemed to be a little unaccustomed to this.
Feeling Lu Jing's arched head, she suddenly remembered something in her mind.
That year, when Lu Jing was just over three years old, she rode a bicycle and took Lu Jing to work.
She wrapped Lu Jing tightly, but forgot to bring a scarf.
Although Yuzhou's winter is not particularly cold, it is still quite exciting to ride a bicycle in the early morning during the coldest days.
She shrank her neck because of the cold, and when she arrived at work, Lu Jing hugged her neck and nudged her, saying that she was warming her up.
She had forgotten it for a long time, but now she suddenly remembered it.
These thoughts flashed through her mind. She looked at Lu Jing's appearance and felt the warmth that seemed to be on her daughter's body. The warm feeling made her feel something that she couldn't explain clearly.
She hesitated, but finally reached out and hugged Lu Jing.
Just like that, she immediately reached out and patted Lu Jing on the back.
"Hurry up and get out of the way. I'm going to be late."
Looking at her mother walking out of the house, Lu Jing continued.
"I'll take the last subway back later. I have classes tomorrow morning."
"I know, I know, really, you didn't tell me before you came back. Next time, don't cook. Cooking is like fighting a war."
Lu Jing's mother grumbled a few words and left quickly.
Lu Jing looked at her mother's back, wiped her eyes, and grinned.
...
Wen Yan, who had just finished dinner and had returned home, was about to take the big-mouthed ghost bone to ask someone for advice.
The moment he saw the ghost bone again, he was slightly startled.
The constantly changing picture in one of the transparent teeth stopped and froze at a certain moment.
He also saw the prompt again, and this was also the rare time he would see a prompt for an object.
"Ghost Bone of the Treasure-stealing Ghost."
"The ghost bone contains the love of a mother for her daughter, including but not limited to the past ups and downs, unforgettable precious memories, and the most sincere emotions in her heart at that moment.
It's just that the most irresistible and unquantifiable thing for people is emotion.
Even if 70% was taken away, it could not affect the total amount exceeding 100, nor could it affect the remaining 30% from continuing to grow.
Outsiders cannot interfere with the 70% that was taken away, and the damage caused is irreversible.
But it does not affect its owner at all, and it will make up for it again and move from 30% to 100% again."
"As you wish, your heart, turned into glory, when she and her mother were drifting away, It guided them and illuminated the dark road between them, allowing her to take unwavering steps towards her mother. "
"Your mind, strength, ability, and action, during the use of the temporary ability Heart Fire, reached a level of harmony that exceeded the limit of the temporary ability.
The highest instant harmony is 400%.
You have realized the power of Heart Fire on your own.
Gain fixed ability: Heart Fire. "
"When Lu Jing regains the mother's love that was taken away, or gives birth to a new mother's love, and returns to 100%, you can gain an additional fixed ability: Deduction.
Current progress: 1/17. "
Wen Yan touched his chest. No wonder he could still feel a fire burning in his heart after he equipped it once before and then removed it.
It's not that he can see or really have fire, but he can feel it himself. After it is lit, it never dissipates.
It turned out that it had been there before.
He looked at the prompt carefully. The description this time was either an additional fixed ability or a simple fixed ability without a prefix.
And now he has finally found a clear distinction between fixed ability and additional fixed ability.
Fixed abilities come from himself, and he comprehends them by himself.
But the question is, how did he get his first fixed ability, "I am your father"?
Wen Yan couldn't quite remember what he was thinking at the time.
He didn't even remember how his soul was given out.
Wen Yan thought about it, and then looked at the hint of the heart fire, and he didn't care too much. My heart and my actions are consistent, so there is no need to worry about other things.
He was very interested in the last hint.
This was the first hint he encountered that didn't require him to attack. He just guided Lu Jing and made a start. The rest of the things didn't need him to worry about, and he couldn't control them.
He was quite relieved, not because he would have an extra fixed ability after achieving the goal.
He just felt much more comfortable in his heart.
He had been quite worried about the fact that he couldn't cancel or recover the damage, and he regretted being too angry and burning the big mouth ghost into slag. He should have built something like a tower to suppress the evil, suppress it inside, and slowly deal with it.
Now that he found out that Lu Jing could make up for it herself, Wen Yan felt much more comfortable.
It doesn't need to be 100%, as long as it can be restored to 90%, it should be no different from before.
As for whether it can reach 100%, it depends on fate, it doesn't matter.
He looked at this big-mouthed ghost bone and thought about giving it to Lu Jing when he had a chance.
There was no use for him to keep it. At most, it could be used as a task progress viewer, or as a collection, or as a material.
He did it when he thought of it. This ghost bone was calcined by him, and now it looks like an ordinary gray bone, without any yin or ghost aura.
Originally, he wanted to carve a word to prevent it from being lost or stolen by something.
In the end, he really couldn't find a suitable tool, so he carved a "Wen" word on the back of the ghost bone with his fingernails.
Then he printed out a note, found the logistics of the Lieyang Department, and sent the things out directly.
It's better to send it out, so that he doesn't feel angry today and thinks that the progress is not important, and it is more important to be in a good mood.
In case one day later, I can't help but come to check the progress, and then check again.
Forget it, don't think about it from the beginning, so as to avoid the gap in my heart.
After recruiting people, paying the money, and sending the goods away, Wen Yan no longer cares.
Originally, he was going to continue to practice boxing in the backyard, but the little zombie stuck to him. Wen Yan had no choice but to pick up the little zombie with one hand and the sparrow cat with the other.
"I'll tell you in advance, if you don't exercise once, I will deduct one day's takeaway from you.
Twice, I will deduct one week's takeaway from you.
Three times is a month!
Believe it or not, if I make a phone call, no one will deliver takeaway here in the future.
As long as I'm at home, don't think about being lazy. When I'm not at home, I will also watch the surveillance!"
Before the sparrow cat could speak, Wen Yan blocked the sparrow cat first, and blocked the way to laziness.
After saying that, the sparrow cat looked desperate, and he didn't even have the strength to argue.
Wen Yan casually exerted force and threw the sparrow cat into the distance, letting the sparrow cat exercise his body.
Holding the little zombie in one hand, Wen Yan went to visit the neighbor next door.
Zhang Laoxi is still in special training in Fuyu Mountain and has not returned yet, but this is normal. It has only been a month. How can it be so fast?
When I came to Pei Tugou's house, my daughter has been getting more and more well-behaved and hardworking recently. When she saw Wen Yan coming, she would greet him quickly.
Wen Yan held the little zombie and looked at his silly son.
The silly son was sleeping soundly with his legs spread out. He was obviously asleep, but when Wen Yan approached, his head would tilt towards Wen Yan, and then the corners of his mouth would start to drool.
Wen Yan was a little worried that this silly son would develop a conditioned reflex and drool when he saw him in the future.
The old lady took out a small towel, wiped the saliva of the silly son, and put it away.
She seemed to see Wen Yan's doubts and said casually.
"It is normal for children to drool, don't worry about it."
As she said, the old lady also stretched out her hand and held the little zombie over.
The little zombie was dressed festively, except for his abnormal skin color, he was wearing a small cotton jacket. The old lady held the little zombie and asked him questions, just like teasing a child. There was no difference between whimpering and babbling, and he didn't need to understand anyway.
The little zombie was more obedient when facing the old lady than when he was with Wen Yan.
When following Wen Yan, the little zombie would occasionally make a fuss and act like a spoiled child.
In front of the old lady, she was a typical girl from other people's families, and the old lady loved her very much.
After chatting for a while, Wen Yan didn't see Pei Tugou coming back, so she asked casually.
"Brother, haven't you come back yet? Is there no overtime work at night in the company?"
"I went on a business trip to the next city. I heard that there was a shortage of staff there, so I was seconded there to participate in something. I was paid by the day."
"I was seconded to the funeral home?"
"Well, they said that he would be back in three or four days at the least and a week at the most."
Wen Yan originally wanted to call the director to ask, but after thinking about it, he decided to let the director sleep well at night.
The director is old and can't stand his shock.
He is very considerate now. Although he still feels that the director is prejudiced against him, he still upholds the spirit of respecting the elderly and loving the young and openly skips work.
After strolling around, Wen Yan continued to stroll in the community.
Pei Tugou didn't see anyone either. He was probably on a business trip with Pei Tugou. Wen Yan was at home, so he took over the inspection.
All the way to the eastern edge, he saw Wu Tingsheng's house. Xiao Wu stood by the window and waved at him.
He stood at the door and waited for a while, and then saw Xiao Wu in home clothes, sleeves rolled up, holding a painting, rushing out in a hurry.
"Uncle Wen, Uncle Wen, this is for you."
Wen Yan took the painting and saw that his level had improved significantly compared to before.
There were houses painted on the painting, and above the houses, there was a sun shining.
It still looked like a very simple painting, but the brushstrokes had improved a lot.
Of course, this was not the point. The point was that Wen Yan actually felt the feeling of the sun shining on his body from a painting.
This was a painting with soul.
Wen Yan was a little surprised. It had only been a short time, and Xiao Wu had actually painted another painting with soul.
"How many paintings of this kind have you drawn?"
Xiao Wu smiled shyly and was a little embarrassed.
"This is the second one I drew. I still can't draw well.
This is for my younger brother, but Uncle Wen said that we can't give food to children.
I'll give it to Uncle Wen first, and give it to my younger brother when he grows up."
Wen Yan was a little surprised and relieved. He was such a good boy. He reminded Xiao Wu once and Xiao Wu remembered it in his heart.
But Xiao Wu could obviously feel that his silly son was greedy and wanted to eat, but he didn't dare to feed him casually. I'm afraid he had been waiting for many days and finally got the chance to give it to him.
He stretched out his hand and handed the painting to Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu shook his head and said no.
Wen Yan said kindly and softly.
"Is this for me? Is it mine now?"
Xiao Wu nodded.
"Then this is my thing. I gave it to you. You can't refuse it, understand?"
Xiao Wu's eyes were a little confused, and he was confused by Wen Yan for a while.
"This is a gift from me. Please use it. Use it quickly."
Wen Yan stretched out his finger and touched the sun in the painting, adding a little Yang energy to it.
Instantly, the sun in the painting seemed to jump out of the real thing.
Wen Yan just touched it and felt an indescribable feeling.
It was like the sun in the painting, which originally had a soul but no body. After he added Lieyang to it, it had a body and became complete all of a sudden.
The moment he touched it, Lieyang's progress jumped three times in a row, jumping to 63%.
He looked at Xiao Wu, who was still in a daze and trying to get out, and smiled.
"Hurry up and use it yourself. You know what to do, right?"
"Ah, I know."
"I gave it to you, you can't refuse it, you have to be obedient, hurry up."
Xiao Wu was still a little hesitant. He wanted to give it to his little brother for many days, but he didn't dare to give it to him because he was afraid that his little brother would eat it secretly.
Hearing Wen Yan's urging, Xiao Wu, who had not yet gotten out of the way, had no choice but to listen to Wen Yan.
He reached out his hand, took the painting, and slowly held it in his arms.
The next moment, Wen Yan saw the soul in the painting gradually sink into Xiao Wu's body to repair Xiao Wu's own soul.
A gentle sun fell into Xiao Wu's head and began to repair his soul.
At that moment, he felt that Xiao Wu's eyes became brighter.
"Go back to sleep. It's windy at night. Don't catch a cold. I like the painting very much. I'll take it away."
"Ah, oh..." Xiao Wu stared blankly at Wen Yan taking away the painting that had lost its soul. He stood there scratching his head, still thinking about how to get out of the way.
Wen Yan was in a good mood holding the painting that had lost its soul.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Wu had prepared for so long. If he hadn't gone there today, Xiao Wu would probably have waited until he saw him.
This kid is also a simple-minded person. He was afraid that his silly son would not be able to help eating it, so he did not dare to take it out and send it to Wen Yan, because he had to pass by his silly son first.
Wen Yan thought about it and felt that this was probably the truth.
After a round of inspection, Wen Yan returned to the backyard of his home, brought the gray cloth, and went to the backyard to continue practicing boxing.
"Come, let me see your limit."
Wen Yan was practicing boxing in the backyard, and everything was normal at home. When Chen Qimo saw Wen Yan practicing boxing in the backyard, he would also feel at ease to go back to his room to study.
On the other hand, the things that Wen Yan sent out with the logistics of the Lieyang Department had also arrived in Yuzhou.
Because it was sent by Wen Yan, and it was sent to Lu Jing, the news reached Feng Yao. When Feng Yao saw the things sent, he quickly asked to send them over and not to leave them overnight.
If they were left overnight, he felt that something might go wrong.
Even if this ghost bone was given to an ordinary person, it should not be dangerous.
Lu Jing was still teased by her roommates in the dormitory, saying that the boy today mustered up great courage and risked being regarded as a pervert, which was a real warrior.
The phone rang, and she heard that there was a courier, so Lu Jing hurriedly used this as an excuse to go downstairs.
When she arrived at the door, she saw the other party's outfit and a big box on his back, and she was secretly shocked.
The other party took out a paper box from a thick box that looked like a takeaway box and handed it to Lu Jing.
"I didn't buy anything..."
"This is yours, specially delivered. Don't ask me about the rest, I don't know either, please confirm whether there is any problem with the things first."
Lu Jing opened the paper box, and inside was a gray bone-like thing, with a row of teeth, a dozen crystal teeth, and a dozen gray teeth.
Lu Jing picked up the note inside.
"This thing is for you. Those teeth contain things you cherish. I hope you can find your lost things as soon as possible.
Also, keep it well and don't lose it. If you lose it, call this number immediately."
When Lu Jing saw this sentence, she immediately understood something. She picked up the ghost bone and saw at a glance that there seemed to be a picture in one of the crystal teeth.
A woman holding a tightly wrapped child.
Just a glance, the pocket-sized blurry picture actually couldn't see anything clearly, but she almost instinctively knew that the woman inside was her mother and the child was her.
"Can I ask who sent this to me?"
"Don't ask me, I don't know. I just guarantee that it will be delivered and confirmed that there is no problem. Please sign."
Lu Jing signed, holding the paper box, standing downstairs of the dormitory, and a thought came to her mind. She didn't meet a god, but someone who helped her.
She picked up her mobile phone and called her mother. After ringing for a long time, no one answered.
When she was a little disappointed, the call was called back.
"What's the matter, girl? I'm dancing here."
"Oh, I have a holiday the day after tomorrow and I have to go home for dinner."
"Okay, okay, got it."
"Mom, I... I want to eat sea bass and tofu stew."
"I think you like tofu stew. Washing fish is the most annoying. Okay, got it, hang up."
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Lu Jing couldn't help but laughed happily.
Her mother didn't answer her calls for the first two days. Later, she called back because she called too many times. But she only called to confirm that she was still alive and had not been in a car accident.
She hugged the box tightly and turned back to the dormitory. Her steps became lighter.
