Back in the hotel room, Chu Chen immediately took out his things from the safe in the room.

Liu Sizhe first begged for the note, and after reading it, he sighed: "This opening step is too troublesome, if there is no formula, I don't think this mechanism box can be opened at all." ”

After reading it, everyone else sighed again and again, you must know that there are more than a dozen planks on the Ludao box, and every time you open it, you have to move one of the planks to a position, so there are many combinations between the planks, and the key is that there are one hundred and forty-four steps, even if someone wants to crack it, there is no way to start.

After Liu Sizhe returned the note to Chu Chen, he said a little anxiously: "Brother Chen, hurry up, I can't wait to know what is in the Dao!" ”

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, in fact, not only Liu Sizhe wanted to know Lu Dao, but he was also very much looking forward to whose masterpiece the work in the box was. So he immediately followed the mantra on the note and began to operate step by step.

Chu Chen read the mantra while unraveling the mechanism, and after nearly ten minutes, the opening of the mechanism box was finally coming to an end. In fact, with his memory, the mantra has already been memorized in his mind, even if he doesn't read the note, it doesn't matter, but he doesn't want to pay too much attention, and thinks it's better to cover up.

In everyone's great anticipation, Chu Chen opened the lid of the trap box, but to the surprise of the four of them, there was actually a box lid inside, and there was a lock hole on the box lid, and it was obvious that a matching key was needed to open the lid.

Seeing this, Liu Sizhe said with a depressed face: "Why do you still need the key?" What can I do, can I brute force it? ”

"Crack something!"

Chu Chen smiled and took out the key from his pocket. Then insert it into the lock hole and twist it slightly. Just listen to the sound of "pop", it should be that the lock has been opened.

Liu Sizhe said speechlessly: "I said Brother Chen." If you have the key, say it early, and cause me a false alarm! But where did you get this key? ”

"Of course I got it with a note." Chu Chen replied while opening the lid of the box.

Liu Sizhe said in surprise when he heard this: "No, is that pine flower inkstone hollow?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Of course it's hollow, otherwise where do you think things can be hidden?" ”

opened the box, and the silk bags containing cotton and other things popped out, which immediately startled everyone except Chu Chen, and later found out that it was a bag, so he settled down. Then the crowd understood. The reason why there is no sound when shaking the box should also be because of the relationship between these bags.

However, everyone immediately put aside the matter of the bag, and for them, the most important thing now is to know what is in the box.

Chu Chen took out all the bags and found that there was a painting tube-like thing in the box, and then, he opened the painting tube and took out a scroll with a width of about twenty-five or six centimeters.

It's just that the material of this painting scroll is a little strange. It looked a bit like silk and a little like hemp paper, Chu Chen really hadn't seen such paper before. And what surprised him was that the scroll still looked very new. It doesn't look like it's been nearly 1,800 years old at all.

Liu Sizhe rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "It's so tight, I think it should be the work of a famous artist!" Brother Chen. Hurry up and open it to see where the author is sacred! ”

"You're the most anxious!" Wang Xiaoyue glanced at him. But looking at her expression, she is also very curious about this work.

Chu Chen put on his gloves. He opened the scroll gently, but what he didn't expect was that he had only opened it almost a quarter of the way before he was startled by what was drawn on it.

Even Chu Chen's heart was taken aback, and it was conceivable how others would react.

I saw Liu Sizhe take a few steps back, pointed to the scroll, and shouted in horror: "Dragon! Dragon! ”

And the third girl was even more unbearable, Wu Ke hid directly behind Chu Chen, grabbed Chu Chen's clothes tightly, and trembled. The other two women were directly frightened by the content and sat on the ground.

In fact, their performance is not strange at all, although there is only a dragon head on this picture scroll, but the level of the painter is too superb, the dragon head is painted lifelike, and even Long Wei is vividly expressed.

When they see this dragon head, it is like they are facing a real dragon, how can this not frighten them?

Chu Chen's heart trembled when he saw this dragon head, but with his temperament, he immediately reacted, and it was just a painting in front of him, so he could immediately settle down.

In the same way, the others were not stupid, and after a while, they all reacted that the dragon head on the picture scroll was not real, which made them feel very surprised at the same time, but also a little embarrassed by their performance just now, Qiao Qian and Wang Xiaoyue were even more ashamed and a little embarrassed.

The crowd settled down and looked at the scroll again, and although they were prepared, when they saw the dragon again, their hearts still trembled, which made them really hard to imagine which painter could paint the dragon so beautifully.

At this time, Liu Sizhe thought of a character in his memory, and said with some excitement: "Could it be that this is the work of Zhang Sengqiu?" ”

"Who is Zhang Sengqiu?" Wang Xiaoyue asked curiously.

Liu Sizhe explained: "Have you heard the finishing touch of the story, the protagonist is what I said about Zhang Sengqiu. I can't think of anyone other than him who can draw dragons so realistically. ”

The three girls nodded again and again in agreement. However, Chu Chen does not think that this work was painted by Zhang Sengqiu, the reason is very simple, Zhang Sengqian is a figure in the Southern Dynasties, and the age of this work is the Three Kingdoms period, the difference between the two is nearly three hundred years, it is obvious that the author has someone else.

He is a painter in the Three Kingdoms period again, and the dragon painted is so realistic, Chu Chen immediately thought of a painter's name, Cao Buxing.

Cao Buxing, also known as Fuxing, was a famous painter during the Three Kingdoms. Known as the "ancestor of Buddhist painting", he is the earliest legendary painter recorded in the literature. In addition to painting Buddha, he also excelled at drawing dragons, tigers, and horses.

There is a record in Sheikh's "Catalogue of Ancient Paintings": "Cao Buxing, the fifth generation of Wu current affairs Sun Quan, Wu Xing people." The traces of unhappiness will not be repeated. It's just a dragon in the Secret Pavilion. Looking at its style and bones, the name is not in vain! ”

It can be seen that Cao Buxing's dragon painting is indeed of a very high level.

Of course, whether the author is Cao Buxing or not, you still need to have real evidence. So Chu Chen then slowly opened the scroll.

This painting is very simple, just a red dragon, but this dragon is depicted extraordinary, as if it is a real red dragon jumping on the paper, the appearance of the clouds and fog, it is really not easy, and the thick dragon power on this dragon is also displayed, which is daunting.

Next, just as Chu Chen was about to open the last scroll, he suddenly heard a thunderclap outside the window, and then it began to rain heavily.

This situation surprised everyone very much, because it was too much of a coincidence, and as soon as the dragon on the picture scroll revealed its whole body, it rained thunderstorm, and they really couldn't help but think about it.

Of course, this matter is too mysterious after all, and everyone will pass after a little speculation, and now it is located in Xiangjiang after all, although thunderstorms are rare in winter, but it is not impossible, so they feel that the possibility of coincidence is still greater.

But the next scene, beyond their understanding, as it rained, they saw that there seemed to be a trace of mist on the scroll, and then those fog and the clouds around the red dragon merged into one, making those clouds seem as if they were real.

What shocked everyone even more was that the red dragon slowly seemed to become more three-dimensional, and at the end of the day, it looked as if it had become a real dragon, wandering between the clouds carefree.

This situation and this scene can't help but make everyone dumbfounded, open their mouths wide, and look at the picture scroll without knowing what to say.

After a long time, the rain outside turned into a light rain, and the clouds on the picture scroll began to gradually return to their original state, but at this moment, the red dragon seemed to have really become enlightened, and his face showed a trace of dissatisfaction, and then he looked up to the sky and let out a long groan.

Although they knew that the Dao Red Dragon did not and could not really make a sound, Chu Chen and the others seemed to have really heard the dragon's roar in their hearts, which brought them nothing but shock and shock, which made them unable to come back to their senses for a long time.

After a long time, the five of them came to their senses one by one, and Josie had never seen such a strange thing, her face was full of incredulity, and she stammered: "This should be an illusion, right?" ”

Wang Xiaoyue also had the same expression, holding Liu Sizhe's hand tightly, and asked, "Ah Zhe, is this an illusion?" ”

Liu Sizhe smiled bitterly: "This is not a novel, do you think there will be hallucinations that can affect the five of us?" ”

"Is what you just saw real?" Wang Xiaoyue's eyes widened, and she muttered to herself in shock.

Seeing Wang Xiaoyue and Qiao Qian so shocked, Chu Chen and the others also felt that it was normal, after all, it was now a science-based world, and the picture in front of them was too illusory, and the various miracles it showed were like miracles, completely subverting the two of them's view of the world, and it was reasonable for them to behave like this now.

Liu Sizhe put his arm around Wang Xiaoyue's shoulders and said, "Okay, Xiaoyue, next time I have a chance to take you to see Brother Chen's "Hanhai Starry Sky Map", that painting is much more magical than this!" ”

"What?!"

Hearing that there was a more magical painting than the work in front of them, Wang Xiaoyue and Qiao Qian looked at Liu Sizhe and then at Chu Chen dumbfounded, even if both of them solemnly said that this was indeed the case, they still felt unbelievable. (To be continued......)
