The radiant sunlight sprinkled onto the land of the eastern town, where the streets were narrow and winding, like an old painting. People of all kinds bustled about on the streets. Two seemingly ordinary young people passed through the town's gate, named Wu Sheng and Hang Lin. They descended from the heavenly realm, devoid of any trace of divine aura, only possessing the ordinariness of mortals.
"The human world is truly a place full of vitality," Hang Lin murmured softly, feeling a wave of nostalgia.
Wu Sheng Holding the hat tightly, the mortal's doubts and curiosity were hidden deep in the heart: "I heard that someone recently saw The Immortal in the Painting here. We need to be careful."
The two walked aimlessly on the street, feeling the hustle and bustle of mortals. Suddenly, a commotion came from a restaurant, as if someone was discussing something important.
"How about you, do you also want to taste the delicacies of the human world?" Wu Sheng smiled and looked at Hang Lin.
"No, it's the conversations inside that attract me." Hang Lin's gaze became sharp.
They pushed open the door of the restaurant, and a wave of heat and various aromas hit them. Wu Sheng and Hang Lin found a corner to sit in, ordered some small dishes, and two pots of Rice wine.
"Hey, have you heard? That The Immortal in the Painting has appeared again recently!" a customer exclaimed loudly.
"Ah, that legendary The Immortal in the Painting who can transform into anyone or anything?" Another drinker's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, and they say he's getting stronger and stronger!"
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin locked eyes, both seeing the caution in each other's gaze.
"It seems we've come to the right place," Wu Sheng said in a low voice.
Hang Lin Nodding, "Yes, but we must act quickly. We need more information before finding him."
After finishing their meal, the two paid in copper coins and quietly left the restaurant, blending into the crowd.
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin arrived at a more secluded street.
Suddenly, an old voice came: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The two turned around and saw an old man with white hair standing behind them. His face was full of wrinkles, but his eyes were very sharp.
"We are just passing by and curious about this place," Wu Sheng replied.
"Passing through?" The old man furrowed his brow. "There's nothing interesting to see here. You should hurry on your way."
"Wait, sir, we heard that there's someone here recently called 'The Immortal in the Painting,' do you know about it?" Hang Lin couldn't help asking.
The old man's expression changed, and he said coldly, "I don't know, you should leave." Wu Sheng and Hang Lin exchanged a glance, feeling that the old man seemed to know something they didn't. But time was limited, and they couldn't afford to linger here.
"Thank you for the reminder, sir. We'll leave now," Wu Sheng said with a smile.
The old man nodded and then turned and walked away.
Not long after they turned and left, a painting suddenly slowly fell down.
The scholar in the painting walked out and muttered, "Two immortals, last time I thought it was a coincidence, but this time people keep asking about me. It seems like they were sent to catch me?"
At that moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared behind him and said coldly, "These self-righteous immortals didn't help you save people before, but now they appear here and want to catch you?"
The student and the shadow both shouted angrily almost at the same time, "By what right!"
Back in the inn room, Wu Sheng and Hang Lin were both lost in thought and remained silent.
"From the news I heard today, it seems that The Immortal in the Painting is indeed lurking around here," Hang Lin finally broke the silence.
"Yeah, but we still need more clues to determine his next move," Wu Sheng added.
"Tomorrow, we should go to the market to see if we can gather more information from there," Hang Lin suggested.
"Good idea, the market is always the most informative place," Wu Sheng agreed with Hang Lin's suggestion.
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin Putting down the teacup, she began arranging the array in the room to guard against unforeseen circumstances.
"This array should prevent others from probing," Wu Sheng focused on drawing runes, each stroke filled with elegance and power.
"Not bad, this way we can focus on planning tomorrow's actions." Hang Lin He took out the map and spread it out on the small table, immediately filling the tabletop with intricate lines and markings.
The two of them bent over to study the map, searching for potential target points. The market area on the map was the most densely packed, with various colored markings indicating different types of goods and services.
"This place sells musical instruments, chess sets, books, and paintings, while here they sell rare and exquisite jewelry," Hang Lin pointed at the map.
"We should go to the place that sells musical instruments, chess sets, books, and paintings first, to see if there is any information or paintings related to 'The Immortal in the Painting'," Wu Sheng suggested.
"I agree," the two of them then finalized their decision.
The next morning, Wu Sheng and Hang Lin arrived at the market early. It was bustling with various vendors, the sounds of buying and selling, and people talking all around.
The air in the market was filled with the aroma of various spices and foods. All kinds of goods were being sold, from ancient artifacts to local specialties. There were even dedicated stalls selling rare and exotic birds and animals.
Hang Lin Walking to a porcelain stall, I couldn't help but marvel at the exquisite craftsmanship of these porcelain wares.
Wu Sheng Then I spotted a book stall, where a variety of books were on display, including classical literature and scholarly works.
Just as they were lost in their own thoughts, they suddenly heard the people nearby discussing a topic.
"I heard that recently there has been a person appearing nearby, and then some strange things happened. Have you heard about it?"
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin locked eyes, perhaps this was the clue they were looking for.
"I've heard too, it seems that person will move between different shops, and every time he appears, the shop owner will find some items missing," the old lady continued.
"Really? Should we call the police?" a middle-aged man said.
"No need to involve the authorities. The items will come back in a few days. What a strange person," the middle-aged woman replied.
"And it seems that person can escape, even if seen, they can't be caught."
The more I listen to Wu Sheng and Hang Lin, the more suspicious things seem.
In the afternoon, the two of them arrived at a shop specializing in selling paintings. The air inside the shop was heavy, and various paintings were neatly displayed. The shop owner was a middle-aged man with a calm expression.
"Dear customers, is there anything I can help you with?" the owner kindly asked.
"We would like to know if there are any special paintings here, or if there have been any unusual occurrences recently?" Wu Sheng asked cautiously.
"There are indeed special paintings, but there have been no unusual occurrences," the shop owner pondered for a moment, then took out a painting from a drawer. "This painting was recently acquired, and the artist's work is very popular among people."
Wu Sheng and Hang Lin carefully observed the painting and found that the figures in the painting were very lifelike, as if they were alive.
"What is special about this painting?" Hang Lin asked.
"The special thing is that this painting seems to be able to attract people's attention, making them involuntarily want to keep looking at it," the boss said.
Wu Sheng was shocked. Isn't this the work of The Immortal in the Painting that they have been looking for? He exchanged a glance with Hang Lin, and they both knew that they had found a clue.
