53, Chapter 53
A lot of comics have special issues, usually with contents that have nothing to do with the main storyline of the comic.
This special issue of Yao Ji is somewhat related to the main storyline. The opening of this special issue is said by a person, an old man in the sect where the current protagonist Faning is.
After Faning and Tong Xin returned to the sect, they have been practicing and participating in sect competitions. However, the two did not go back voluntarily. Faning was drugged by Tong Xin, so he had to follow her back to the sect.
When Faning just came back, he still had a grudge against Tong Xin, until an old man in the sect said, "Okay, don't blame Tong Xin, she also has her own difficulties", Faning became normal with Tong Xin.
These are all off-topic. The beginning of this special issue is a conversation between this old man and Tong Xin. One day, Tong Xin drank tea with the old man. As they drank, she suddenly remembered something, "Uncle Master, why did you insist on asking me to drug Faning and bring him back?"
Their uncle master looked very righteous, and with that weird mustache, he looked like the Taoist priest in the zombie Taoist priest.
After hearing this, the "Taoist priest" drank a sip of tea and looked into a void, as if he was recalling something.
"Blood Jade Demon Army..." he said slowly, "You are too young, you don't know these things, and I didn't catch up either. I heard a lot of things from my master's master and me..."
That's right, this special issue tells the story of the Blood Jade Demon Army in the past as the uncle master of Faning's sect.
The length is extremely short, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this thing is a small comic drawn casually by the author, but every painting in it is very amazing, enough to make people stare for half a day.
What is a special issue? Ji Qiu used his own actions to prove that for him, the special issue is not about the length or the plot, but the style of painting.
The length of a comic is fixed, after all, it is mainly serialized on the app. If the length is not fixed, it will be troublesome for readers.
However, Ji Qiu managed to create the effect of ancient Greek war oil paintings in such a small space... Every chapter is a big scene, with heavy ink and heavy colors. In fact, Ji Qiu's style has always been heavy ink and heavy colors, which is highly praised by many readers.
After all, comics, as everyone knows, are different from picture books. Many cartoonists rely on the plot to win, and their painting style is getting worse and worse, so it is particularly difficult to meet a painter like Ji Qiu who likes heavy ink and heavy colors...
However, compared with these paintings, everyone realized that the comics Ji Qiu drew before were already masterpieces without any effort.
Every picture here can be captured and used as a screen saver in a minute. Every picture makes people excited. Some of them depict war scenes, which dazzled many people. This is the Qingming Shanghe Tu, at least there are a hundred people in one picture.
Each person can make people imagine a story. The clothes, accessories and hairstyles of each person are all exquisite. One of them is a battlefield, where humans and monsters look at each other from a distance. The monsters look evil and charming, and their appearance is quite high. Although the appearance of humans is not as good as that of monsters, the leaders are good, and their temperament looks particularly positive.
So from the narration of the "Taoist priest" and the pictures of Ji Qiu, readers gradually learned about the war of that year. This war has not been mentioned much since the beginning of "Monster Records", but now readers have finally seen the tip of the iceberg.
In fact, it is quite normal to reveal at this time. You see, many comics start to tell some previous stories after the plot develops to a certain stage. Ji Qiu's chapter is very short, and most readers are still confused and just know the beginning.
Many readers have been hooked, but Ji Qiu only drew so little, so they can't continue to read.
Ji Qiu didn't draw some details, but just drew how big the war was, how many people participated, and how many people died, which could be called a meat grinder. Among them, there were many famous generals who became famous in that war, and emphasized the "Blood Jade Demon Army".
The "Blood Jade Demon Army" was a team that impressed both monsters and humans in that war. The monsters in it were brave and resourceful, and they all made a big name by their own abilities. And the end of this monster army was very tragic. Obviously, each of them was powerful, but they did the work of the death squad.
The number of people in the team is unknown. They are all practicing a kind of magic that can only be practiced by drinking human blood. This magic is very evil and can greatly enhance the strength of monsters. It can be said to be one of the monsters' trump cards. However, a few years before the end of the war, all the monsters died, which is also part of the reason for the failure of the monsters.
In it, Ji Qiu also drew illustrations of several people separately. They are the more famous people and monsters in that war. Yuan Yuanyuan recognized several of them, such as "Ruhua" who has been mentioned a few days ago. In it, his name is "Huaxian". In the picture, he is holding a huge brush in his hand, dressed in black, standing under a pear tree, as if he is admiring pear blossoms.
Yuan Yuanyuan saw many people who had appeared in the group she joined, but at this moment, she saw another person she knew before, who had appeared in the comics a long time ago.
——Ranniang.
Hmm? ! ! Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the comics and found that she was not mistaken.
Ranniang was actually... a spy in this war?
Ranniang's illustrations were very spy-like. Her face was completely blocked by big red sleeves, and nothing could be seen. Only one ear was exposed, which was like white jade. However, her clothes still made her recognizable at a glance, not to mention that there was a narration introducing her.
Ranniang, a relatively tragic girl. Yuan Yuanyuan only knew that she was a spy and died miserably. Ji Qiu seemed to like this girl very much and drew the scene of her death very beautifully.
She didn't appear very often in the past. The few times she did appear were in the narration like [The battle between monsters is very cruel, and you will die if you are not careful]. Her name "Ran Niang" was heard from someone else's exclamation. However, such a girl is still very popular in the comics, and even has a lot of peripheral products.
Even Yuan Yuanyuan has a cosplay costume that was returned.
Hmm... wait a minute.
Yuan Yuanyuan thought about it and felt that things... seemed... not so simple.
Although this Ran Niang... is just a background character, she appeared at this moment... before she didn't know that she was a participant in this war, and she didn't know so many things related to this war, she didn't think much.
But now... why is she the only spy among so many monsters?
Yuan Yuanyuan felt that her face was wrinkled like an old man. She took out the picture that had been saved for a long time and compared it with the face of Ran Niang in the previous comics.
...I always feel that there is a little similarity, mainly in temperament, it is really a bit similar, both are soft and beautiful with an indescribable charm, but there is still a little difference in facial features.
She was a little relieved, but then she suddenly realized-shit, right, this guy is a spy, how can a spy face people with his real face?
When Yuan Yuanyuan felt that she was a little doubtful about her life, the comment area outside had already exploded, and countless readers left messages. One was to start madly calling Ji Qiu's painting skills, and the other was to start madly asking Ji Qiu who the big brother Yuan was, and which big brother survived in the war that year.
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, it must be the painting fairy, right? ! ! Definitely the painting fairy! ]
[What did I say? ! In that magazine, what Yuan drank was definitely blood. Whose wine is that color? It's fucking wine. ]
[No... I don't understand! Originally, this person is a monster who uses human blood to practice, how can he help humans? This person is a spy! He is ruthless and has experienced war. He is definitely not an ordinary person. 】
【I think instead of thinking about this... it is better to think about why Yuan survived... how he survived. 】
Yuan Yuanyuan looked at the comments. Readers are always very sharp in grasping the key points. She looked at that Ran Niang and really didn't know whether this person was "Yi Qi"...
She thought about it, turned on her mobile phone, and sent a message in the three-person group, "Big brother, is that Ran Niang Yi Qi?"
【To be honest, I have been using it recently, both Android and Apple are OK. 】
"Who?" asked the group leader.
"It's the person in the latest issue of Monster Records. She appeared in the previous issues and there is a frontal photo of her."
"Ran Niang? It sounds a bit familiar. I haven't seen it yet. Wait for me." The group leader disappeared for a while after speaking, leaving Yuan Yuanyuan alone waiting.
After a while, the group leader suddenly appeared again, "It's Yiqi, he looks like this with makeup on."
"Hmm...wait a minute?" Yuan Yuanyuan said, "What? Makeup? Those previous photos of him were so feminine...and he didn't wear makeup?!"
"No, he looks like that, but he just likes to wear makeup." The group leader said, "On the day he was killed, he was wearing makeup, it was snowing, under a plum tree."
"...Why did he wear makeup?" Yuan Yuanyuan silently complained, "Doesn't he know that he looks feminine with makeup on?"
"He...is actually quite manly. You will know if you read more of his biography." The group leader said, "By the way, I forgot to say one thing. I will go to City C in a few days. I just told my family and they agreed. Remember to pick me up then."
