Chapter 535: The Man in the Painting (Part I)

As we spoke, we had already examined the murals in the entire burial chamber, and there were four different murals painted on the four walls of the burial chamber, and after a cursory glance, we could determine that these four murals were depicted in chronological order, in the order of south, east, west, and northwest. I also noticed the problem that Sister Wang Na said, indeed, this ancient tomb is clearly Zuo Ci's ancient tomb, and there are many traces in the tomb indicating that this tomb belongs to Zuo Ciqi, but there is nothing else in this empty tomb except for four murals, and these four murals seem to have nothing to do with Zuo Ci, the protagonists in the paintings are all women, not a group of women, a woman, all the murals have the same heroine.

On the east wall, a woman is pictured, sitting on a high platform, looking very noble, she is half leaning and half leaning on the chair of the high platform, looking very comfortable and lazy. And there are a lot of people kneeling and bowing at her feet, but those people don't seem to be wearing any clothes, and their upper bodies are all ****, and most of them are men. The main mural is obviously prominent, those kneeling people painted very small, it looks like a lot of small tadpoles, but the image of the woman is painted extremely tall. The woman is depicted very finely, with distinct facial features, but she is not like an ordinary woman with delicate eyebrows and eyes, her facial features are very rough, her face is very large, her facial features are also very scattered, her hands and feet are particularly long, different from ordinary people, obviously this woman was born a freak, and she doesn't look normal.

"Oh my God, how does this woman look like this." Dazhe is now healed of his scars, forgetting the pain, and also coming over to join in the fun.

"In ancient times, some eccentric people were often treated differently. Some people who look different from ordinary people are considered ominous, while others are considered to be reincarnated by gods and so on, and are enshrined. Looking at the status of this woman, she is obviously lucky, it is the latter, who is worshipped, pampered, and has a high status. I said.

"But looking at her appearance, although she is lazy and noble, her facial features don't seem to have any expressions, and she doesn't feel very happy." Sister Wang Na said.

"Since ancient times, the royal family, the goddess, the holy woman, the holy child, these people with noble titles, will have a common distress, although they have a noble status, they can call the wind and rain, what they want, but they have no freedom, you see this woman, although she is receiving the worship of the subjects below, but she does not seem to be looking at them, so she should be distressed that she is not free, by this high platform, this chair, this status, restrained. This was not unusual in ancient times. I said.

"This kind of situation is not unusual in modern times." Yun Ximing said, I was still worried about his injury, and I couldn't help but take a look at it and found that the bleeding had stopped, so I was relieved.

We came to the south wall, and the painting looked a little more than the one before, but the main character was still the strange woman with long hands and feet. I saw that she was sitting on a high frame this time, the frame didn't look very gorgeous, just an ordinary frame, but her dress was a little more gorgeous than the last time, she was just wearing a robe and nothing else in the previous painting, but this time she wore a dress that looked like a gauze, because the mural had some blank parts when depicted, which made people can't help but think of a gauze dress. There seem to be a lot of treasures on the clothes, and the shapes, sizes, and colors of the treasures are different, but the words are very vivid, so that people can understand them.

"It's not good to say, this painter, the painting is really not very good, you look at the clothes this woman is wearing, how does it feel like Tang Seng's robe, is she going to become a monk?" Dazhe said.

"I'm afraid it's not a monk, but exile, or demoted, or maybe married away." Yun Ximing said.

"Brother Childe, you didn't paint this painting, is it possible that you know it again? Do you have a clever plan? Your Baidu Encyclopedia told you again? Dazhe said unconvinced.

"Baidu Encyclopedia can't explain everything, I can see that I used my brain to reason. If you look at this woman's entourage, that is, those who carry the frame, there are only four, and the painters deliberately put their heads out, although they did not draw facial features, but they painted their hair, white hair, does this mean that the four people who carried the sedan chair were actually elderly people. If this woman's status is very noble, how could there not be a few young and strong people to carry this frame, but four old people were sent. Think about it again, if a person with such a noble status needs to travel, why doesn't he have more entourage? Judging from the painting just now, the person who painted the painting did not find it troublesome, so he would not deliberately draw a few fewer people, so it can be inferred that this woman was about to go to a place, but only these four old and healthy people carrying the frame followed, and did not bring another entourage. In this way, there is only one explanation, her former glory is gone, and she may now be a loser, a victim of politics. Yun Ximing said.

"It's really a god, Brother Gongzi, why does what you say seem to make so sense, it's like you saw the facts." Dazhe said.

"You rarely praise me, so I don't appreciate it politely." Yun Ximing said arrogantly.

"But I don't understand, if she was degraded or banished, then why is her clothes so gorgeous?" Sister Wang Na asked.

"I can only guess about this." Yun Ximing said, "It is possible that the person who exiled her also needs to show a little decency, just like the ancient system of harmony, marrying a princess in exchange for peace, in fact, is a very humiliating practice, but when the princess was married in the past dynasties, he still paid a lot of dowry, not for the princess, in fact, in order to reflect the national strength, but also a little psychological comfort pursued by the king and the ruler." Or there is the possibility that the woman was banished, and she was allowed to bring with her a few beloved things, and this dress may be her favorite, or it may have a different special meaning for her. ”

"I think what Simon said has a point, and for now we can only judge it for the time being." I say.

"Look, is this woman holding something in her hand?" Uncle Lu asked. I took a closer look, and sure enough, what the woman was holding in her hand was a wooden box. Maybe it's a conditioned reflex, I've seen the wooden boxes now, so I thought about the boxes in our house, and hurried to get closer and take a closer look. Finally I was sure that the box was not our family's, but I made a more significant discovery.

"What's in this box, look at it, is it the centipede?" I asked.

"Huh?! Don't say it, really, look at that tail. Dazhe said in surprise.

"See, see, see, be quiet." Yun Ximing said. There was not a complete centipede drawn in that box, but a slit was drawn in the box, and the tail feathers of the feather-tailed centipede were exposed, and if you looked closely, you could see that it was the kind of feather-tailed centipede we had seen before.

"You say, could this be the one from before?" Dazhe asked.

"Needless to say, it's not all right, that thing has grown so big, I'm afraid it has gone through hundreds of thousands of years." Yun Ximing said.

"But Brother Childe, is your method really reliable? That thing won't come back to life, I'll be a human cushion for you once, but if I do it a few times, I'll lose my life. Dazhe asked, still worried.

"Fat man, you've asked me this several times, didn't I say it, this thing has a low IQ, it lies in the water, and it will never leave if it doesn't drown itself, of course, if you die, you can't do without it, so you can rest assured. Have you ever seen a moth fighting a fire, will you ever come back from the dead? But..."Yun Ximing suddenly hesitated in his tone.

"But what?" Dazhe asked nervously.

"But, fatty, thanks to you this time, I have written down your life-saving grace." Yun Ximing said.

"This is the first time you've talked to me like this, I'm still a little uncomfortable, forget it, you've saved me many times, let's not be so polite." Dazhe said. I looked at Dazhe and Yun Ximing, the relationship between the two of them can be regarded as a friendship, such a friendship of life and death is very precious.

"How do I think this woman seems to be crying, you are all experts, see if I am wrong." Sister Wang Na rubbed her eyes as she spoke, and this sentence aroused a new round of curiosity in us.

We looked at the woman, and sure enough, she was crying, not the kind of tearful howling, but it was really sad that she was about to cry tears. I only saw the person carrying the frame before, saw the woman's gorgeous clothes, and saw the box in her hand, but I didn't care too much about her expression. Looking at it now, she may not be happy. If the previous painting was expressionless and indifferent, then now this painting is really sad.

"I guess, she must not be going to do anything good, or she may be going to die, you look at this expression, it is simply like death." Dazhe said. We didn't speak after listening, Dazhe was stunned for a moment, and quickly added, "I just said it casually, you are all experts, I guessed blindly." ”

"Okay, fatty, you're making a lot of progress now." Yun Ximing said.

"So, am I right?" Dazhe said in surprise.

"I'm afraid you're right." Yun Ximing said, "I'm afraid she really went to die." (To be continued.) )
