Chapter 54: The Ancient Temple

In the next few days, He Manzhou was extremely busy.

If before, she and Bai Yi were all lip service, and when the task was assigned, she understood what it meant that "Bai Yulou never raises idlers". And the positioning she gave herself before was really no problem at all, it was a lie to be relaxed and happy waiting to take advantage, and with Boss Bai, she was completely a coolie.

Bai Yi never explained much, but said that he wanted to find the temple from the ancient paintings.

He Manzhou took this as his own inspiration and had an effect. In this regard, she still quite agrees, after all, when you are desperate, even if it is a blind cat that touches a dead mouse, you have to give it a try.

At the same time, the workload of studying the two ancient paintings of "Ancient Pictures of Mountains and Waves" and "Returning to the Clouds of Nanshan" is not small, since there are two people in the investigation team, it is natural that they should cooperate and work together, and there is no reason for this personal pit. Bai Yicong originally suggested this, but He Manzhou thought a little carefully and strongly said that everyone should do their own thing.

First, she felt that even if Bai Yicong said that he would take care of her, there was no reason to rely on him for everything. Not to mention that she likes Bai Yicong a little, and she is also counting on Boss Bai through various small details to make this iceberg slowly melt, in this process, of course, it is indispensable to show her own shining points more, and brush up on Boss Bai's impression points.

Even if it is a cooperative relationship of light, you must dedicate your own light and heat in time to let partners see hope.

Second, He Manzhou also has a bit of temptation. Even if Bai Yicong's name is louder, He Manzhou has not officially dealt with him after all, and he doesn't know how many catties and taels he has. It's not that I suspect that Bai Yicong is in vain, but people who are arrogant and arrogant can probably only be tempted by those who are stronger than themselves.

In short, I can bow my head and give in, but only if you deserve it.

It's better to say that she didn't have a chance before, but now that she has met He Manzhou, who is good at it and can see the high and low, she will inevitably have a little bit of comparison, and want to take the opportunity to find out the bottom of the innocence. Bai Yicong seemed to see a lot of thoughts about the girl, and he didn't say anything, and agreed generously.

The matter was so happily settled.

The appreciation of ancient paintings is He Manzhou's old profession, especially after discovering that "The Ancient Picture of Shantao Words" may hide clues about He Sheng's disappearance, she has turned over and studied this ancient painting countless times, so this work is completely prepared for her.

Don't look at He Manzhou giggling on trivial matters, but when he enters the working state, it is completely like a different person. She sorted out a meticulous analysis report overnight, carefully sorting out the temple in the gongbi paintings, and acted in a very rigorous style in response to the architectural style and geographical location.

And in the process of tidying up, He Manzhou quickly discovered that something was wrong.

In the upper right corner of the "Ancient Map of Shantao", there is a pavilion with a very strange eaves, if you don't look closely, you can't find such a subtle difference. But he couldn't stand it, He Manzhou couldn't wait to take a magnifying glass and look at every brushstroke, and he was stunned to study it like picking a bone from the egg.

So, it really made her see the mystery.

This "Ancient Picture of the Mountains and Waves" is the work of Gong Xian, a painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the painted scenery is probably the style of that period, but the eaves of the pavilion are domes, which obviously do not conform to the painting year, but have some exotic feelings, which is really strange the more you look at it.

For some reason, He Manzhou suddenly remembered the yellow sand in his dream.

At the end of the smoke, the strange Tower of Babel was hidden in the dust, the domed building and the white tower carrying a totem of golden light, and the sporadic firelight turned into dazzling spots, shattered in mid-air and then fell down. Those illusory fragments turned into an all-encompassing light, as if pulling everything around them into the void.

The devotion on the faces of the girls in white gauze clothes turned into struggle and panic, and the net bottles they held in their hands fell to the ground, and the endless sandstorm was still permeating, with a never-ending wind, gradually engulfing everything.

The mysterious woman was barefoot, stepping on the hustle and bustle of the sky.

The ultimate holiness was followed by a subversive catastrophe.

"No......."

He Manzhou exclaimed, she quickly marked the location of the pavilion, and studied it carefully.

But the more she looked, the more scared she felt.

Dreams are dreams after all, and many things are impossible to refer to, plus they will be stimulated by various external things and feel that their memories have been tampered with, and even the subconscious mind has been deviated. But for some reason, the desert in her dream became clearer and clearer, and even those weird and illusory fragments seemed to be engraved in her mind, lingering and constantly surging.

It's like reminding He Manzhou that something is time to unravel the mystery.

Probably because his heart was too chaotic, He Manzhou's fingertips trembled a little. With a magnifying glass, she enlarged and expanded the eaves of the pavilion, and the frescoes of the painted figures could be faintly seen under the bricks of the dome.

The woman dressed in white was surrounded by a multitude of slaves, dressed in golden armor, with a neighing horse beneath her, and a sharp spear in her hand, guarding their goddess.

...... No matter how you look at it, it's a copy of the most tragic scene in the dream.

This thought made her tremble instantly, and she shivered when the air conditioner was turned on in the room.

With such a novel discovery, He Manzhou didn't even look at the time, and immediately went to the next door and knocked on Bai Yicong's door.

It was already past ten o'clock, and Bai Yicong had just finished taking a shower.

He didn't expect He Manzhou to come over at this time, so he dressed very simply, just wearing a shirt and a cashmere cardigan loosely draped outside. The two buttons on the top of the shirt collar are open, the looming collarbone is exposed, and there are droplets of water dripping from the ends of the hair, which is completely unscrupulous and neat.

Every detail perfectly combines ascetic breath and inexplicable sexual feeling, revealing indescribable seductiveness.

So when Bai Yicong opened the door, He Manzhou was so confused by this powerful visual impact that he didn't say anything for a long time.

Her gaze moved along Bai Yi's delicate neckline and sensual Adam's apple, her lips touching up and down, almost forgetting the lines she had prepared.

What's the situation, this man is too foul.

Obviously, he was serious about talking about business, but suddenly he felt tempted and confused.

"What's wrong?"

In the end, it was Bai Yi who pulled back He Manzhou's thoughts from his deep and beautiful voice.

Bai Yi paused on He Manzhou's face from his cold eyes for a few seconds, and then glanced at the scroll and a stack of notes she was holding in her hand, and was already three points more aware of her sudden visit, and sure enough, the girl coughed lightly and pretended to be serious.

"Well, I'll go in and tell you, I've made a new discovery. ”

"Good. ”

The room is open with warm air, the curtains are open, and the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows reflect the night view of the entire city, as if condensing the lights of thousands of homes, reflecting the bright lights in the room.

Bai Yicong motioned for He Manzhou to sit down, and raised his eyebrows at her: "Drink something, don't drink coffee at night, juice or wine?"

He Manzhou said in his heart, in the middle of the night, what should I do if something strange happens.

Although she wanted to attack Boss Bai and take him down as soon as possible, she didn't plan to deliver food to others from the beginning.

So almost without any hesitation, she said righteously: "...... Juice bar, plain water is also available. ”

Bai Yi never knew why he was so normal, but the girl's expression changed several times, as if she was answering some century problem, looking at the tangled energy, as if she was thinking deeply.

Adhering to the principle of not thinking about it at all, Bai Yicong gave enough space. He didn't say anything, just withdrew his gaze that stopped at He Manzhou, and said a faint word.

"Good. ”

Then he got up and took two glasses of water and poured two glasses of orange juice.

Sitting on the sofa waiting for Bai Yicong to come over, He Manzhou looked around. Presumably, Bai Yicong was sorting out the materials in the room just now, the desk lamp on the desk was on, and there were half-written analysis materials on the table, and the inky blue pen handwriting was flowing and falling on the pure white paper, which was quite chic and beautiful.

But before she could take a closer look at the materials, Bai Yicong was already sitting opposite her with a cup.

"Okay, let's say, what did you find?"

"Look, do you feel that something is wrong with this gazebo I marked?" He Manzhou came back to his senses, spread out his sorted notes, carefully enlarged the paper according to the scale, and carefully drew the eaves of the gazebo.

"Bai Yicong, you haven't studied art, you may not know this, I think it'......"

But before the words were finished, He Manzhou silently stopped.

Next to "The Returning Clouds of the South Mountain" is the reference materials that Bai Yicong sorted out, but after a cursory glance, Miss He was completely speechless.

From the drawing to the analysis, as well as the appraisal of the value of the two fakes, this report is quite professional, and when it comes to the quotations and classics, there is a lot of posture that can immediately start the class, even the art students of He Manzhou, a major, are beyond the reach of the dust, so that the dialogue is also a little impressive.

She had read her father's codex before, and she thought that Professor He was so rigorous and elegant, and she didn't find it strange to see any kind of scholar. But after looking at Bai Yicong's things, she found out what it means to have someone outside the world, and this time she really felt convinced.

She was originally full of confidence with her own achievements, and wanted to give Bai Yi a dismount, and by the way, tell her findings, so that Boss Bai was impressed. It turned out that people not only did a good job, but also did a more meticulous job than her, and being defeated in the field they were best at obviously made He Manzhou instantly frustrated.

The most excessive thing is that she was a killer discovery, but it was also discovered by Bai Yicong.

....... Okay, even the patterns on the eaves have been carefully drawn.

Don't even think about it, Bai Yicong also saw this abnormality, and did his homework in advance.

For a while, He Manzhou didn't know whether to sigh that he and Bai Yicong were simply too smart, saying that they had checked their own things, and they actually found the same thing. Should it be said that Boss Bai is always so unexpected, and there are various ways to hit people, but the final effect is surprisingly consistent, and every time she is speechless.

In the end, Miss Ho thought quite comfortingly.

is worthy of Bai Yicong, the person I fancy is so awesome.
