Chapter 0377 A hint of an oil painting in the Ming Dynasty
The sky was getting brighter, and a thin layer of mist filled the Pirate Canyon. It is like a veil of a Middle Eastern woman, covering her face and giving it a mysterious.
The frightened Jenny finally saw Ling Xiao, and the moment she saw Ling Xiao, many of the pressures and fears on her body were gone.
Ling Xiao could have returned to the cliff platform earlier, but the use of hypnosis had serious sequelae, and he had to take a break and wait until the severity was over and he would not dare to climb the rock wall.
"Ling, you're fine, are you?" Jenny got up from the grass and anxiously greeted her.
"It's all done, it's all done." Ling Xiao said, "I've got the stuff back." ”
Jenny saw the painting tube on Ling Xiao's shoulder, but she wasn't very interested in the painting inside, and when she heard Ling Xiao say that it was all done, she excitedly got into Ling Xiao's arms and hugged him tightly.
Jenny leaned over and wanted to give Ling Xiao a spicy kiss, but she soon found that her and Ling Xiao's faces and mouths were full of mud, so she had to give up. She didn't want to do something in a mouth full of mud and sand.
"You ...... them all" Jenny suddenly remembered something, and said a little nervously, "Did you kill them all?" ”
Ling Xiao shook his head, "I tied them up with a rope and didn't kill them. ”
Jenny's mouth opened wide and she was surprised, "You dealt with so many people by yourself, you don't even have a weapon, how did you do it?" ”
Ling Xiao satisfied her curiosity, and he gave a general description of what had happened, and of course, he wouldn't tell her the most important part of using hypnosis.
"Oh my God, you're the Rambo of the East!" Jenny was very excited, and no matter what mud was dirty, she kissed Ling Xiao's lips fiercely.
A minute later, the two separated, each group spitting out the mud and sand in their mouths.
Before you know it, the morning sun has appeared on the mountains to the east, the golden morning light shines into the pirate canyon, the fog in the forest has not yet dissipated, but the platform at the top of the mountain is already bright, and the flat rocky ground is covered with a layer of dazzling light like gold.
Ling Xiao did not rush down from the platform at the top of the mountain, but chose the smoothest rock, put the Ming Dynasty oil painting on it, and observed it carefully.
There are no words, no numbers, only ancient oil paints, and when he looks at this oil painting from the Ming Dynasty again, he still can't see any clues from the painting.
Jenny squatted beside Ling Xiao, admiring the painting while preparing breakfast for Ling Xiao and herself. She took out the remaining two servings of self-heating rice, it was a morning worth celebrating, and she had to find a way to treat Ling Xiao's stomach.
Ling Xiao's gaze fell on the yin and yang ring in Zheng He's hand, and he couldn't help but feel emotion and conjecture in his heart.
The original owner of the Yin and Yang Ring that Xuan Jizi taught him was Zheng He, which he could never have imagined at the beginning.
Ma Longyi once said that Zheng He was purified before entering the palace, but when he went to the West for the sixth time, he had an adventure, and as a result, the cut off organs were reborn, which is why he has his descendants and this oil painting that has been passed down from generation to generation...... With this adventure, wouldn't he want to hint something to his descendants? Inadvertently, Ling Xiao thought of this level in his heart.
The Chinese family concept is very important, and some skills or secrets in the family are even passed on to men but not women. From this point of view, after experiencing such a magical event and getting such a great benefit, Zheng He will definitely give his descendants a hint.
But where does this hint lie?
The situation still hasn't changed, and Ling Xiao vaguely feels that there is some important hint hidden in this oil painting, but he has never been able to find it.
"Ling, let's think about it after eating breakfast." Jenny handed a box of self-heating rice to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao ate rice while looking at the oil painting, and did not waste any time.
"Will the armed men escape?" Jenny asked, worried about the return of the armed men.
Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, even if they escape, they won't be able to threaten us, I destroyed their weapons and equipment." ”
He had already learned everything he wanted from George Warward's mouth, and George Warward and Yamamoto Daihana were of no value to him anymore. He didn't want to care about whether these two people and the men they brought with them lived or died.
After eating, Ling Xiao continued to observe the Ming Dynasty oil paintings.
Janine accompanies him, drawing something on the ground with a twig when she is bored.
For an inadvertent time, Ling Xiao's eyes fell on the picture she had drawn, and an inspiration suddenly flashed in her heart, and she said, "Jenny, give me your branches." ”
Jenny was stunned for a moment, "What do you want it for?" ”
Ling Xiao snatched the branch from her hand and began to draw on the ground. As he painted, he looked at the oil paintings laid out on the rocks.
Jenny said curiously, "Ling, you don't want to copy such a complicated oil painting with a single branch, do you?" ”
"Of course not, do you see it, there are lines where the oil paints meet, and these lines may be a map." Ling Xiao said excitedly.
On the oil painting, there are indeed lines at the intersection of different oil paints, which do not seem obvious, but if you look carefully enough, you can definitely find that those lines are actually very regular.
"Wait, I have a pen and a notebook, and you will draw it more clearly on paper." Janie then brought Ling Xiao a pen and notebook, which she used to learn medical skills to take notes, and she used them at this time.
Ling Xiao threw away the branches, and it was indeed inconvenient to use them to draw. He used a pen to draw the lines between the oil paints on the paper, and as he painted, he observed, and the lines on the paper became more and more, and gradually took shape.
Sure enough, those lines make up a map.
However, it looks like a map, but there is no text to mark it, so who knows what kind of place it is?
"Wait, there must be any hints, where?" Ling Xiao frowned and continued to observe the Ming Dynasty oil paintings.
After half a ring, his gaze stayed on Zheng He's official uniform and the pattern on it. After reading them one by one, silently comparing and imagining, after the last moment, his gaze suddenly stopped on Zheng He's official hat. There is a jade ornament on the official hat, and there are some strange lines on the surface of the jade, which looks like it is formed by improper treatment of oil paint, but it still has a very strange regularity when you look closely.
After watching it several times, Ling Xiao suddenly slapped his head, "Isn't this the shape of a spider's web?" ”
Jenny looked at Ling Xiao in a daze, not understanding what he was talking about, but she had a feeling that Ling Xiao was close to the secret contained in the oil painting.
"Huh...... Ha Lu Ha ......" Ling Xiao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "I see! How could there be such a coincidence! ”
An amazing coincidence indeed.
The lines that Ling Xiao copied from the oil paintings, they form the shape of Madagascar. That's just a rough outline, though. Where there is detail is the Pirate Canyon near the sea, which has lines that hint at the passage into the Pirate Canyon, and lines that hint at Pirate Mountain. But these lines are not really a map, and it takes a certain amount of imagination to find out that it is a map. With these, Ling Xiao is not enough to think of Madagascar, let alone Pirate Canyon, but the spider web pattern on Zheng He's official hat gave him the most subtle hint, what he couldn't understand before, hazy, now he understands everything, it is clear.
If it weren't for the fact that he came to the Pirate Canyon by accident, if he hadn't climbed to the Pirate Mountain to avoid being pursued and discovered the spider web pattern on the platform on the top of the mountain, how could Ling Xiao have discovered the secret hidden in the Ming Dynasty oil paintings?
Now that I think back to the time of Zheng He's sixth trip to the West, doesn't it coincide with the heyday of Captain Hannah that Jenny talked about? To simplify things, Zheng He, who went to the West for the sixth time, was shipwrecked and finally drifted here, and then a miracle happened to him.
How did that miracle come about? It was still unimaginable, but Ling Xiao felt that he was close to that secret.
Some things in the world are like this, which seems to be a coincidence, but it seems that there is a certain number in the dark.
"Ling, what exactly did you find? Tell me! Jenny said anxiously, Ling Xiao was excited, and she was also excited.
"Can you keep this a secret?" Ling Xiao looked at Jenny very seriously.
Jenny nodded, "As long as it's a secret you asked me to keep, I won't say it until I die." ”
Only then did Ling Xiao tell the story of the Ma Longyi family.
Actually, if he hadn't been in a relationship with Jenny, he wouldn't have told her this. Be kind, people give him all the most precious things of a woman, and accompany him to Pirate Canyon to be born and die, if you don't even tell this secret, it will be a little too much.
"My God, what the eunuch has been cut off can be ......," Janie closed her mouth again. That thing came out of a girl's mouth, and it was indecent after all. She glanced at Ling Xiao embarrassedly, as if she was thinking of something.
Ling Xiao didn't say his own secret, he knew that Dao Jianni might have guessed because of the Yin and Yang Ring in his hand, but let her go, when it comes to the secret of his mentor Xuanjizi, he won't say anything to anyone.
"Ling, you said that Zheng He had been here, knew about the strange platform on the Pirate Mountain, and gave his descendants a hint, but ...... So what does that mean? We've examined this place carefully, and there's nothing out of these strange crevices. Jenny was still confused.
This is also what Ling Xiao couldn't figure out, what secrets are hidden on the top platform of this Pirate Mountain?
"Will it be ......" Jenny guessed, "It's like in the movie, there is a hidden mechanism, and when activated, a certain part of this platform will open, revealing a passage to enter?" ”
Ling Xiao smiled, "How can you take what you play in the movie seriously?" ”
"So what to do? We have approached the secret, but we are stumped by the last step. Jenny felt unwilling for Ling Xiao. For her, this matter is really just curiosity.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment before saying, "You stay here and wait for me, I'll go down first to see if the person has escaped, and by the way, see if there are any strange places on other rock walls." ”
Jenny nodded, "I'll be waiting for you right here." ”
Ling Xiao left the hilltop platform with a captured rifle.
