Chapter 119: Deer Antler Beard
The decoration style on the fourth floor is very simple and rude, and it is gorgeous of course, but in addition to the gold-clad wall of the main body of the building on the fourth floor, there are only a few pure white columns erected in the huge space. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info However, the entire four floors do not look particularly empty than the downstairs floors.
The fourth floor is clearly a storage room. In the meantime, the objects are placed very seriously, and finally there is no random and unrestrained random scattering of the next few layers.
There is a row of portraits hanging on the east wall, and the painter seems not to be afraid of wasting ink and blue, and each painting is enough to fill the whole paper. The black cat slowed down and walked over from the first one on the left, one by one. All of them are in the form of various beasts, although they are not all fangs, but without exception they are all imposing and large-sized animals. The beasts in the painting come to life, as if they would suddenly fall from the painting in the next moment. It can be seen that the painter's painting skills are superb.
The spacing between the paintings is exactly the same, and they are neatly hung on the golden wall on the east side. Helian Xiaojiang counted silently in his heart, there were a total of thirteen paintings, thirteen beast types of different forms. There were those she knew, and there were those she didn't. Those animals that don't know each other have similar archetypes in reality, but they are not like each other.
There was a creature that looked like a dog, with elongated lines and perfect muscles like a horse, with fangs and exaggerated horns.
The black cat stood in front of the last drawing, which showed a turtle with hard armor on its belly and back, and the force with which the ink penetrated through the paper, and the onlooker could even feel its weight. The limbs protruding from the tortoise shell are strong, and the turtle's head is very energetic when it is raised high, and it is not at all the image of a turtle that can't climb even if it is lazy. From the perspective of Helian Xiaojiang standing, the huge turtle looked down high, which reminded her of an animal.
"Xuanwu"
Of course, she is not sure, although this turtle does not have any variation in appearance, but the temperament alone must be extraordinary. So if you classify it, it's at least Xuanwu.
In the middle of the room on the fourth floor, there are eight long, narrow and heavy mahogany tables, divided into two rows, also equidistant, and placed upright. Each mahogany table is topped with eight porcelain vessels of different shapes and patterns. Helian Xiaojiang took a porcelain appreciation course in his freshman year, and he probably knew that whether porcelain is good or not lies in the workmanship, carcass, painting, glaze, and feet.
It is a pity that knowledge only exists in theory, and she can speak professional terms but does not have the ability to appreciate them. A little fur, a little credit. But even if she didn't have a discerning eye, she could easily see the good quality of the porcelain. None of them are ordinary.
Do you think that mountains of gold and silver are moats?
No, it is a trench to sit on a priceless house, so that the accountant and the bookkeeper cannot estimate the price increase.
The remaining three walls of the room were lined up like a large cabinet, almost up to the ceiling, arranged one by one like a private in a library's bookcase. In addition to a lot of ancient books, there are many strange things in the compartments that are divided into large and small irregular spaces. Helian Xiaojiang not only couldn't understand it, but he couldn't even guess what they were used for.
However, when the black cat walked through the row of cabinets on the north side, he saw a familiar box, which was placed in the third level of the bottom and the upper compartment, an unpretentious ordinary wooden box.
It's the one that put the Celestial Musk.
The black cat stood on tiptoe, and with a twitch of its pink nose, it could smell the faint and unmistakable aroma of heavy flavors.
She doesn't know how to use the vital raw materials for her transformation.
From this end to the other end of the room, the staircase continues up. The first floor is left and the other is right, and the stairs are distributed at both ends of the Grand Palace.
The fifth floor is the birthplace of the tremors, and the stairs are only halfway there, and the black cat unconsciously slows down.
The stairs under his feet shook up and down in small rhythmic rhythms as the mysterious behemoth of the floor breathed heavily. It has to be tonnage to have such an impact.
Helian Xiaojiang lightly jumped up the last step and saw the culprit directly. Somewhere in the creature's body blocked the hallway from the room. It was so large that it was impossible to see where its body extended to the end of the room.
It's huge!
Taking advantage of its deep sleep, Helian Xiaojiang clung to the wall and tried to squeeze into the room without touching the other. Helian Xiaojiang carefully squeezed in, while staring at the other party's reaction and keeping a distance.
"Whew~" It wasn't until he successfully entered the interior of the room, and the distance between him and the unknown creature was more than a meter away, and the black cat breathed a big sigh of relief. At this point, it was still impossible to tell what animal was on the creature lying on the ground. Its skin is very thick, covered with fish scales, and the red skin underneath is revealed. And the part of the body that I just saw, according to the shape, guessed that it should be the tail.
The blind man touches the elephant, and it is useless to guess.
To really see clearly, you have to go around and find the animal's head to discern it.
The black cat is now hungry and a little scared, but a strong curiosity prevails. "Just take a look, see what it is, and go downstairs to find food to eat. Well, just at a glance. Helian Xiaojiang persuaded himself.
The black cat continued to move cautiously against the wall, her movements as slow and light as she could, and after a while she realized that the animal in front of her was not only huge but also huge and crooked. After walking around most of the room, I couldn't see where its head was. It is also very likely to hide under the body.
Every animal has different habits. Helian Xiaojiang, who has become a cat, habitually rests her round head on her front legs when she sleeps. Therefore, the behemoth in front of him was very likely to bury its head under a certain part of its body, and Helian Xiaojiang was not curious enough to risk waking up the giant beast and burrowing into it to identify and find it.
Just as he was hesitating whether to go back the way he came or to make a detour of the last bit of the road and then exit, the behemoth that had been sleeping suddenly began to move. It's not like turning over, it's the kind of sliding that mops the floor, which can't help but remind Helian Xiaojiang of the python in the Lost Forest. Five or six large round beads rolled out in all directions, and they were all pressed under him. Lying on these precious, hard-textured gadgets is not disgusted, probably because of thick skin.
The sound of breathing and the friction between its body and the ground made it move like an earthquake, and the black cat that was close at hand was affected by the earthquake, and its vision was blurred.
When the behemoth quieted down again, Helian Xiaojiang first saw the two horns exposed, long and forked, and the texture was a bit like deer antler velvet covered with fluffy hair. The long beard rises and falls in the air with the breath.
