The whole picture is intuitive and vivid, and every character and every detail is extremely fine. Including the laughter and pleasure of those nobles, clergy, and bureaucrats, as well as the painful expressions of the people at the bottom, they are all in the woods.

The most creepy thing is the monster holding the scales on the table, bloated and fat, with a blurred face, like a human form, but with long narrow wings and sharp and slender front paws, which looks very weird.

The onlookers fell silent layer by layer, and the meaning of the whole picture was clear at a glance.

The scale, which weighed gold coins and wine, looked very glaring.

As the lowest level of the people, this painting arouses the grievances and resentments that lie deep in their hearts. They are the stools that are trampled under their feet for them to enjoy the food and wine on the table.

Peasant revolts were not unique to China, but had occurred many times in the history of the Middle Ages, such as the Zachary uprising in France, the Walter Taylor uprising in England, and the vigorous mass armed struggle against the Holy Roman Empire in Germany.

But without exception, all failed, so little is known.

The reason for this is actually very simple, it is not that the people at the bottom are willing to be enslaved, but because the disparity in power is too great. For one, the aristocracy was generally martial, with an ample army and resources at their disposal, which the peasants could not compete with.

Second, the nobility in various places is generally self-governing, some are good at management, love the people, and some treat the people harshly. The living standards of the two places are different, and peasant uprisings in one place may not be able to get a response from the nearby peasants, and they cannot be connected in series.

Third, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and even if there is class oppression, it cannot set off a magnificent war like the magnificent China war.

Man is a creature with complex feelings, so it is not that the peasant has no resentment, does not want to change, and is willing to be enslaved, but there is no way to change at all.

A sigh sounded in the crowd, a mixture of anger, resentment and helplessness, filled their hearts, and the murals on the stone tablets were not a true portrayal of their lives?

But so what?

"Side, side!" Barney pulled open the sides of the stele with a dark face, and it was also a simple and easy-to-understand picture, with the pleasures, banquets, songs and dances of the aristocratic class interspersed with the people at the bottom farming, carrying water, starving, and displacement......

The contrast between rich and poor is even stronger.

"Stop digging, man. Let the nobles see it, and it will cause trouble. ”

"yes, yes. Hurry up and bury it, and don't see it. ”

"I think it's all true. ”

"Really? ”

The long-term repression made the serfs afraid of the aristocracy from the bottom of their hearts. But Barney is obviously not among them, and there is still a trace of blood, or a bit of dignity, in his bones.

In short, he didn't care about anyone's opinions, and continued to wield the iron pickaxe vigorously.

No one left, but the onlookers gathered more and more, the outer layer inquired to the inner layer, and the inner layer lowered the voice to explain, and the speed of transmission was extremely fast.

"Look, the back looks different. ”

"yes, what's that up there?"

"Looks like eyes, and, three mustaches?"

"No, it's like the sun, you see there's still light, and there's stars. ”

On the back of the stele, a large eyeball is depicted in the upper part, and three symmetrical smooth lines are decorated below, and the surrounding light is scattered with stars. And under the light, there stood a group of all kinds of people, peasants carrying hoes, peasant women holding children, babbling children, etc., all with smiles on their faces.

"No, you see, the woman holding the child seems to be the woman who was trampled on. ”

"yes, yes. And this farmer, they all have the same face. ”

Soon, they noticed that many of the peasants standing in the light corresponded to the figures in the mural in front of them. But the expressions are diametrically opposite, and everyone's faces are full of sunshine and laughter.

"Dig fast, dig fast. ”

Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and those laughing people at the bottom aroused empathy and ignited the desire for a better life in their hearts.

"Food, look!"

"And cattle and sheep. ”

"Good wine. ”

"Bread and soup. ”

In front of the crowd was also a long table full of delicacies, and a row of holy-looking ladies in long dresses, with kind smiles on their faces, faced the crowd, with food and wine in their hands, and a large group of children clapping and singing around them.

The meaning is also very straightforward, these ladies in long skirts are handing out food.

"Look at this man!"

"No, he looks weird. ”

In the center of the table, a tall figure in a robe had a smile on his face, a human-like face, but a fire dancing in his eyes.

"Who is this?"

Doubts spread among the crowd.

"There's still one down there, dig it up. ”

"I'll help you!"

"I'll come too. ”

A pair of hands stretched out, working together to clean up the soot.

In the lower part of the painting, the style of painting is abruptly changed, consisting of a grid of narrow caves, densely packed, and the caves are crowded with dense people.

The images in each cave are different, some are a group of naked people with severed hands and feet, tangled like snakes, others are nobles in rich robes, around a round table with terrifying snakes, scorpions, worms, maggots, and unknown thick soups, some tied to stone pillars, their mouths stretched open with torture instruments, and bags of gold coins poured into their mouths like a bulge, and still others simply squatting on a cauldron on a blazing fire, in which countless people struggle in pain......

The bottom pair was even more bizarre, one by one the giant hands gushing out of the ground, tightly choking the 'Holy Spirit' monster with only narrow wings, disemboweling and disemboweling, blood mixed with crowns, swords, jewels, armor, bones, and organs scattered all over the ground, and the torn off wings were dripping with blood on the ground.

The hideously tongue-sticking head was twisted off and placed at one end of the scale, while the other end, empty, kept in an eerie balance.

"Hiss~~"

The sound of gasping came and went, and the purgatory-like scene, the expressions of crying, howling, and struggling came to life, making their scalps tingle.

"Hell, this must be hell. ”

"It's horrible!"

"Maggots, my God, I want to throw up. ”

"Hurry up and bury it, we're in trouble. OMG!"

Fear and uneasiness erupt suddenly, and the picture shows that the nobles are in hell while the peasants are enjoying their delicious food.

This is no longer a simple blasphemy, it is simply a curse!

"Shut up!" Barney, with a gloomy face, swept away the lower edge of the stone tablet, where a simple sentence was inscribed, "Is anyone literate? Look at what is written here?"

"I'll come, I'll come. A freedman who barely knew a few words came out of the crowd, leaned over and looked at it carefully for a while, and then read it out slowly.

"The stars rise, and all evil is punished. ”

In just a few words, the meaning of the expression immediately caused an uproar.

Combined with the picture just now, almost everyone instantly understood the meaning. And this short sentence, with strong feelings and prophetic elements, immediately spread through the crowd.

"The stars rise, and all evil is punished!"

"The stars rise, and all evil is punished!"

Although his voice was low, his tone was clearly filled with indescribable shock.

"What are you doing here?"

A loud voice rang out, and the miners turned their backs, and at a glance they saw Sir Weimar hurrying with a few of his servants.

"The nobles are here!"

"The nobles are here!"

Looking at the stone monument that cursed the Holy Spirit was obviously a great disaster.

Boom, the arrival of Sir Weimar was like a hornet's nest, and the miners quickly dispersed, and many people shouted, "Master, it has nothing to do with us, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"What are you panicking about?" said Sir Weimar, with his whip in hand, pushed through the crowd and came to the stele with a furrowed brow as he looked at the picture on the stele.

"Barney, Barney. Come on. Lamb looked panicked and tugged at Barney's sleeve, "You're in trouble, you know? Get out of here." ”

"Wait a minute. Weimar raised his head, his eyes burning, and his tone was serious, "Where did this stone tablet come from?"

Barney swallowed, "Dig it up here." ”

"Dig it up?" Sir Weimar crouched down, the pedestal of the stele had not yet been cleared, poked with his horsewhip, saw a line of words underneath, and read it word by word, "The stars rise, and all the evil is punished?"

Barney and Lamb shuddered in unison, their faces full of horror.

Weimar was silent for a long time before slowly standing up, "You two dug it up, how did you dig it up?"

"Myself, I don't care about him. Despite his fear, Barney was very righteous "When digging the black stone, the pickaxe touched it. ”

"Oh. Weimar showed no signs of anger and muttered, "This is so weird." ”

"Sir Sir. Lamb began to intercede" Barney was only curious about what was on the stele, there was absolutely no blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, please forgive him for his sins. ”

"It's not your fault, and you can't depict such a delicate pattern. Weimar shook his head, patted the stele, and said to himself, "What does it mean to be here for no reason?"

Lamb and Barney looked at each other, uneasy, and didn't dare to talk.

"Come on, dig up the stele and take it away!" Sir Weimar grimaced, unable to see his joy or anger, but stared at the two of them for a while, "Remember, without my orders, you are not allowed to mention anything about the stele!"

"Yes, yes, sir. ”

When the stele had been excavated and carried out of the mine covered with linen, Barney and Lamb breathed a long sigh of relief.

But in many corners of the mine, whispered conversations are taking place.

"Hey, man, it looks like something awesome was dug up just now. ”

"yes, it's wicked. ”

"But I think it's more like a prophecy, you say?"

"The stars rise, and the evil is punished. When you say that, it's really like. ”

"It would be nice if it was true. ”

"Stop talking, get to work. The stele may have been destroyed soon. ”
