Chapter 2579 - The Man in the Painting

Although the palace that the Sanctuary had given him was magnificent, it was not vast enough, and he had to expand it on his own.

Then there is a small problem here: since the six cities are built together, they are all working overtime, so the raw materials for building houses such as wood, sand, marl, and stone will be consumed in large quantities, and the market price will soar for a while, and a beautiful rockery garden stone will be fried to 800 ink gold. That's not all, the pawn plucked the leg hair is thicker than the body, never worried about the problem of money, but good materials are in short supply in the building materials market.

After the quarry rock irrigation turned into a dammed lake, the priest also had to build a water palace by the lake, so a very solid base under the palace that went deep into the bottom of the lake must be built.

On the territory of the old man's house of the god king, who dared to blow up the mountain and quarry at will? Want to get such a huge and solid stone, the head of the pawn family probably had long been sad with gray hair, and later heard that the three huge stone pillars dismantled by the god platform were to be discarded as waste, when he was overjoyed, he found someone to move it back to the quarry rock in the mountain behind the palace, and only to fill the lake to split and intercept them.

You must know that the stone pillars on the altar are so huge that each one can be cut into at least five stone seats. With them, the Dianjia's water palace can be easily built.

For Dian Qingyue, who has a lot of opportunities, this matter is so trivial that after the chief manager sends someone to move it back, he will not even report such a trivial matter to the master.

These three deadly pillars were quietly placed here without the knowledge of the master of the mansion!

So the question is, even Dian Qingyue himself doesn't know, how did Ning Xiaoxian find out their whereabouts?

He was preoccupied here, and Ning Xiaoxian also happened to speak: "Who is the woman in the painting?"

"What?"

"There is a beautiful woman in a loose robe, who is carried into the mountain by four people. Ning Xiaoxian asked him, "Who is that?" The barbarian's aesthetics and painting methods were different from today's, and the figures in the pictures were somewhat abstract. But even so, Ning Xiaoxian can see that the people in the painting are richly dressed and have extremely beautiful faces.

"That's where it was sent to the sacred mountain and dedicated to the king of the gods. Dian Qingyue replied, "Before being sent to the sacred mountain, you should drink holy water on an empty stomach for three days and soak yourself with holy water nine times. Don't touch the ground with your feet until you see the God-King. ”

Her eyes were full of disdain: "The barbarian ancestor still has a habit of cleanliness?"

"That's a rule that has been passed down for countless generations, and it has its own set of rules. Dian Qingyue said in a low voice, "The women of the Holy King in the folk or clan will be sent to the Sacred Mountain according to this custom. "Rules, rituals, ancestral systems, such things exist only to push authority to the highest peak step by step.

In other words, the girl who was sent into the mountain is not the only one, and I don't know how much she has been mistreated by the old man over the years.

Ning Xiaoxian said: "Since it is a tradition, then there must be countless women who have been sent into the mountain, why only paint her in it, and still live in the middle of the picture?"

Although she has no painting skills at all, and she has no artistic cells, she at least has the most basic common sense. As far as the composition of the picture is concerned, most of the characters in the center are the main characters, right? The huge paintings on the stone pillars are seamlessly connected by countless small drawings to form a magnificent and coherent long narrative scroll, but each small picture also has its own characters and themes.

This woman is in the center of one of the small pictures, the size is one to the same as the real person, as if she is half a head taller than Ning Xiaoxian.

Dian Qingyue was silent.

"The patterns of these three stone pillars are not exhaustive, if there is anything in common, except for the barbarian ancestor, this woman appears repeatedly. "Her powers of observation didn't disappear with her powers. The barbarian ancestor has gone through many ups and downs in his life, but he only chose seventy-two major events to be recorded in the stone pillar for the admiration of thousands of generations, which should be an earth-shattering battle and great change in the history of the barbarians. There are very few characters in it that appear repeatedly except for the barbarian ancestors.

This woman is one of them, although it doesn't take up much space. That is to show from the side that she also has a place in the history of the barbarians.

Ning Xiaoxian said it lightly, but the patterns on these three giant pillars are complex, recording many characters, events, and scenes, even if it is the simplest one, there are more than 1,100 characters in the scene. Ning Xiaoxian only separated her in a hurry to make tea, and her ability to see and know was enough to make Dian Qingyue admire.

You know, she doesn't have divine help right now.

Dian Qingyue finally shook his head slowly: "Xuantian Niangniang, you took a lot of effort to sneak into my mansion, just to see these three stone pillars?"

Ning Xiaoxian smiled and waited for his next step.

Dian Qingyue said softly: "The God King has his own reason for removing these three pillars from the Altar. You'd better not brush the tiger's whiskers. ”

In his words, there was a strong sense of exhortation.

Ning Xiaoxian also listened, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your advice, but I'm still curious, where is this woman sacred?" ”

If someone else said this, Dian Qingyue must have slapped him in the face. But the one in front of you...... The most important thing is that she has never been restless, and if he doesn't say it now, she will definitely do her best to investigate. When the wind reaches the ears of the God King, it will affect him.

So Dian Qingyue asked her for a guarantee first: "You don't have to ask around, I'll tell you about it." ”

Ning Xiaoxian nodded: "Okay, I won't find a second person in the sacred mountain to ask her background again, which will make it difficult for you." ”

Dian Qingyue sighed at this time: "I don't know who you have been bewitched, this woman's identity doesn't matter at all. Finding out about her is not beneficial to your current situation, but it is harmful - if you anger the God King, even Xuantian Niangniang can't afford the end. ”

Since this woman's identity is not important, why would investigating her anger anger the God-King? However, Ning Xiaoxian knew that Dian Qingyue was an understanding person, so he didn't ask questions at this time, and then listened to him say slowly: "At that time, in addition to the royal orthodoxy, my holy clan also had seven major tribes and hundreds of small clans, and she was the daughter of the chief of the gold saving tribe. Because the gold-saving tribe is very close to the royal family, the name also follows the way of the former surname + the last name, but the woman has a surname but no name. The chief of the gold tribe was surnamed Xia, and after his daughter was dedicated to the Holy King, he was called Xia Lingji. Summer, note its source, Ling, mark its characteristics, smart and exquisite. ”

That's all he said, and he obviously doesn't intend to reveal any more information.

Ning Xiaoxian's eyes rolled: "There is her figure on the three big pillars, it can be seen that Xia Lingji is extremely favored by the Barbarian Ancestor?"
