Chapter 98, The Mystery of the Painting
Chapter 98, The Mystery of the Painting
The group soon came to the corner of the first staircase, ready to step into the second.
Countless pairs of eyes suddenly opened around him, and dense cyan light needles shot out of the eyes.
"Woo Woo Woo ~ "
Everyone hurriedly confused and retreated one after another, wanting to return to the upper staircase.
At this moment, the stairs that I had just walked through lit up with grimaces with green faces and fangs, and the masks were a little hideous, making a terrifying cry.
It's like a demon crawling out of hell, and it's terrifying.
Everyone felt a chill in their backs, and countless ghost hands stretched out from the surrounding walls, grabbing everyone!
At this moment, everyone was already frightened, how had they ever seen such a scene in their lives! Hurriedly closed their eyes, covered their ears, and did not dare to move a bit.
"Break it for me!"
Zi Yuan raised his hand and waved, a burst of purple light flickered, and all the visions shattered like mirrors, returning to their previous appearance.
"It's all hallucinations, don't be afraid!
Everyone slowly opened their eyes, slowly took away the hand covering their ears, and sat on the ground with a long sigh.
Chen Miao hurriedly ran down, turned his head and waved at the gasping crowd.
"Let's all come down! It's already at the exit! It's another burial chamber, but there's nothing in it!"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly ran down and looked at the wide tomb in front of them.
The scene that greeted them made everyone stunned for a while, such a large burial chamber, but there was nothing in it.
The second elder scolded in a bit of anger.
"Are we working in vain? Is this place hollowed out? It's an empty house!"
Chen Miao slowly walked to the middle of the tomb, looked at the bluestone walls around her, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Come and see, what are these?"
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly ran over, and saw the vague stone carvings on the stone wall, the great elder hurriedly stepped forward, raised his hand and gently touched the stone wall, where his fingers touched, the dust was wiped off, and it gradually became clear.
Seeing this, Zi Yuan hurriedly raised his hand and waved, and a gust of wind blew suddenly, and all the dust on the stone wall disappeared.
In the next second, beautiful pictures appeared all around, like wallpapers, pasted on them.
Seeing this scene, Chen Tianyu hurriedly beckoned to the short man in the crowd.
"Old Five, come and take a look! Look at the puzzles, you are the best! Tell me about it!"
The short man walked over quickly, pointed to the picture on the stone wall, and said slowly.
"This is not the first painting in the whole burial chamber, the first painting is over there!"
The short man pointed to the stone wall at the doorway and hurriedly walked over.
Everyone hurriedly gathered around and looked at the place where the short man was accusing.
It's a beautiful picture of people coming and going, a bit like they're in a market, and the people on the side of the road are shouting and shouting.
The short man raised his hand and pointed to the picture and said slowly.
"This is a picture of the market, looking at the customs and habits on it, it should be a town 100,000 years ago, looking at the degree of prosperity, it should be an imperial city!"
The short man pointed to a picture next to him, which depicted a palace shining with red light, in which the civil and military officials were worshipping the king sitting on a red jade chair, and on the armrests of the red jade chair were two red jade lions.
The king wore a five-pointed red jade crown on his head, wearing a large white robe, and a fierce blood lion embroidered on the white robe, and on his right hand, a young man, similar to the king's clothes, and his appearance was seven or eight points similar, and on his head was a four-cornered red jade crown.
The short man looked at everyone's puzzled eyes and said slowly.
"Do you think this picture is a bit nondescript? But this picture is not wrong! This is the Blood Lion Kingdom 100,000 years ago, and this is the king of the Blood Lion Country!"
"At the bottom right of him is the crown prince of the Blood Lion Country, and further down are many civil and military officials! ”
The Great Elder was a little confused, and hurriedly asked.
"I've robbed many tombs before, wearing dragon robes, wearing phoenix robes, but I've never seen anyone wearing lion robes, and it's a blood lion!"
The short man waved his hand and hurriedly explained.
"This country is believed to be a bloodthirsty and ferocious lion! It can be said that it is the totem of their country! According to the classics, from ancient times to the present, there is only this special country. ”
Everyone listened attentively, and the short man cleared his throat and continued.
"Look at some more pictures here!"
Everyone looked at it, and saw that these pictures were all drawn, the scene of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, needless to say, this is the battlefield, and the armies on both sides are engaged in a big battle.
But they all have the same characteristics, they are all generals in blood-colored armor who win, and the enemy who kills no piece of armor remains.
In the last battle map, the enemy palace was killed, or led by this blood-colored armor general, and no one survived in the entire palace, and all of them were slaughtered.
The village chief looked at these thrilling pictures and hurriedly spoke.
"This is a battle merit map! It has been established, and every battle is a great victory!"
The fifth elder nodded slightly, and said slowly.
"That's right, this is a picture of the battle exploits! Look at this side again!"
Everyone followed the direction of the five elders' fingers and looked at another stone wall, on which was a wine banquet, and many soldiers were drinking wine and eating meat!
The Fifth Elder smiled faintly and spoke in a deep voice.
"This is a picture of celebration after the victory! The whole army will put up a celebration banquet!"
The five elders pointed to the next picture, which was another picture of civil and military officials worshipping, which could be said to be the same as the previous picture.
The second elder glanced at the picture and hurriedly spoke.
"That's the picture just now!
The fifth elder shook his head slightly, pointed to the armor general above, and said slowly.
"I don't know if you've noticed! At the top of this civil and military official! Not the prime minister and prince in official uniform, but the general in blood-colored armor! These prime ministers and princes can only stand behind him!"
The second elder was a little confused, and hurriedly asked.
"Old Five! This is not right! Logically speaking! Even if you are a general, it is impossible to stand in front of the prime minister and prince! This is contrary to common sense!"
The fifth elder nodded slightly, and hurriedly gave a thumbs up to the second elder.
"It's just against common sense! The key is that people are not ordinary generals! They are always victorious generals! The greatness of their exploits has been killed in other people's palaces!"
"Look at the picture again, where the general is standing. ”
Under the leadership of the five elders, everyone returned to the previous picture of worshipping the hundred officials.
I saw that the general in the blood-colored armor above was standing in the back position, but now he was standing in the front, and the king's face showed a look of joy, which was obviously the privilege of the king's reward.
The five elders led everyone to the next picture, this picture is that many princes will gather around to discuss matters, and from their expressions, it can be seen that they are envious, jealous and hateful!
This time, without waiting for the fifth elder to speak, the village chief spoke slowly.
"These civil and military officials, princes and generals, are all red-eyed!"
The five elders did not speak, and continued to lead the group to the next picture.
On this picture, the civil and military officials meet the king, the princes and generals are even more finger-pointing, the king's face, from calm, worried, frightened, angry, constantly changing, many cultural relics and officials, the face is showing joy.
Chen Miao pointed to the picture on the stone wall and said with a glare.
"This is special, at first glance, it is spreading rumors and stirring up! It is estimated that this general is miserable!"
The fifth elder nodded slightly, and led everyone to continue to look at the next picture.
This picture is exactly the general wearing blood-colored armor, captured by many officers and soldiers, escorted to the execution ground to be beheaded, many people under the execution ground knelt on the ground to plead, the general looked angry, as if he was saying something to the people?
In the end, the general's head was still cut off, and many people wore linen and filial piety for him, and next to it was chaos in the general's mansion.
The second elder couldn't stand it anymore, and said with anger on his face.
"This is to listen to the words of traitors and kill heroes!
The Fifth Elder nodded, and said with a look of regret.
"The merit is high, and the king is instigated by traitorous ministers! Only then was he betrayed and sentenced to death! Many people were grateful to the general for eradicating the enemy and knelt down to intercede for him! The general was angry and did not let the people intercede for him!"
"In the end, the general's head was cut off, and many people wore linen and filial piety for him! This general's mansion is already in a mess, and those who should flee should flee and go!"
The people present were also deeply distressed, and the five elders had no choice but to go to the next one and continue to explain it.
This picture is that many officers and soldiers surrounded the general's mansion, and a white-haired old man fell from the sky, killing many officers and soldiers, and saving all the people in the mansion.
"This picture is that the traitor instigated the king, and the king believed it and ordered to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, this white-haired old man should be a figure at the level of a great immortal, raise his hand to kill many officers and soldiers, and save the general's descendants!"
Everyone bowed their heads in contemplation, and the entire burial chamber fell silent in an instant.
At this moment, Chen Miao broke the calm in the tomb and asked slowly.
"Didn't you say that this is the tomb of the queen of Qi? Why is it the tomb of the general's descendant again?"
Chen Tianyu looked embarrassed, and said it a little embarrassed.
"It's a shame to say this, the address of this tomb, we also got it from another tomb in the early years, and we don't know the specific situation!
Chen Miao nodded slightly, and hurriedly released his divine sense, and carefully probed, to Chen Miao's surprise, this place seemed to have a force to prevent the investigation of divine sense.
When the Divine Sense touches the green brick, it will be bounced back, and it will not be possible to look closely at it.
The situation on Ziyuan's side was similar, which made him a little puzzled, and he couldn't help but think of the isolation of the big array.
This kind of formation can block other people's divine consciousness from viewing, so the identity of this old man is self-evident.
It's definitely an immortal cultivator, or a formation master, otherwise it's impossible to get this kind of thing.
In desperation, everyone had to look carefully in the tomb, not letting go of an inch.
Two hours passed, and everyone's search continued, and none of them had a clue.
Even the three elders who were proud of cracking the mechanism couldn't make a move.
Chen Miao's eyes kept staring at the many pictures on the stone wall, and secretly said in his heart, there must be a problem with so many pictures, but he didn't know where the problem was.
Chen Miao Chen Miao stuck to the wall, knocked on it, and patted it again, but it still had no effect.
In desperation, he had no choice but to call the third elder and the fifth elder over together, focusing on the pictures on these stone walls.
But the drawings on the stone wall are too beautiful, and it is not very difficult to find the mechanism from them.
Chen Miao's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of an idea, and hurriedly spoke.
"Will there be any such thing as a trap in these pictures?"
Hearing this, the third elder shook his head slightly, with a wry smile on his face.
"I've checked every picture just now, and I found no traps, and there's no hidden grid on the wall. ”
The fifth elder pointed to the ground, with a look of joy on his face, and hurriedly spoke.
"Look at the ground, there's a picture!"
Everyone hurriedly looked at the ground, only to see that there was nothing on the ground except green bricks, and looked at the five elders with puzzled faces.
The fifth elder hurriedly pointed to the green bricks, and kept gesturing with his fingers.
"You see, along the gap in this brick, all the way together, is it a picture? It's only one outline! But it's a picture!"
The people in the tomb found that the green bricks on the ground were irregular, and the gaps in the green bricks were indeed a picture.
It's just that this picture is divided into two parts, the first part is the old man raising his hand on the cell door, and the people inside knelt down for the old man, as if pleading.
In the second part, the old man left, leaving only the people in the cell standing quietly.
When everyone saw this part of the picture, they lowered their heads and pondered, their faces full of doubt.
At this moment, Chen Miao suddenly looked at everyone, with a happy expression on her face.
"I know, the old man wanted to save the general, but the general refused, and begged the old man to save his descendants!
Seeing this, everyone nodded and agreed with Chen Miao's statement, but everyone still had some doubts in their hearts and began to discuss.
"This old man saved him, why didn't he leave?"
"He knew he was going to die, so why did he stay?"
In the face of everyone's discussion, Chen Miao suddenly didn't know how to answer, but Zi Yuan said lightly.
"Look at that beheading picture, look at the change in the general's expression!"
When everyone heard this, they hurriedly looked at it, and their faces showed a look of surprise, and the fifth elder hurriedly spoke.
When he was escorted to the execution ground, the general's face was indifferent, and when everyone pleaded for mercy, the general's face was angry, but did you see it? The general's severed head was full of smiles, and his eyes were gently closed. ”
Everyone looked at such a strange picture, but their faces were blank, and Zi Yuan slowly spit out four words.
"Loyal and patriotic!"
