Chapter 307: Hundred Bone Diagrams
Xie Meng mentioned the legendary dragon, which made Hou Wan and Wei Chiran both feel that it must be just a legend, after all, the mythical dragons are all imagined by people and cannot really exist. But this is precisely the dream of Lian Jiuqi and Xing Guodong when they were young.
Wei Chiran didn't know that the torture art in the world he was in was completely different from the life experience of the torture in the parallel world, and what happened to his father was also different.
In this world, Lian Jiuqi and Xing Guodong, when they were young, one was a cargo chaser, and the other was a researcher of mysterious phenomena.
Originally, the two didn't know each other, it was entirely because of an adventure encounter in the mountains, when Lian Jiuqi was looking for a legendary relic in the mountains, while Xing Guodong was simply coming to adventure, looking for it aimlessly, thinking that one day he would encounter those strange things.
Unexpectedly, both of them entered the cave because of a heavy rainstorm, and Lian Jiuqi was sick because of a fall that injured his leg, resulting in a high fever, if it weren't for Xing Guodong's careful care, I'm afraid he would have died in the wilderness.
The two got acquainted and became close friends, and Lian Jiuqi's identity as a different way of chasing goods made Xing Guodong pester him every day to listen to those strange things.
Even Jiuqi was originally an unrestrained person, so he didn't care about the messy rules of the different ways, because he was a close friend with Xing Guodong, and he was a life-saving benefactor, so he knew everything.
Xing Guodong also liked to go to the antique market because of this, he didn't buy and sell, he just wanted to understand, and everything started because of this habit he developed.
At that time, the antique market was very different from now, although it was also full of fakes, but there were not so many, it can be said that most of them were old objects even if they were not antiques, and they had a certain collection value, and the story behind them also made Xing Guodong very interested.
Once, when Xing Guodong went to the antique market, he found an ink painting hanging behind the stall owner, which depicted the white bones of people.
When Xing Guodong looked at the painting, the whole person froze and stared blankly, until the boss greeted him, and he came back to his senses.
Xing Guodong immediately talked to the boss and asked about the origin of the painting, but the boss said that he had picked it up. Another story about how I picked it up.
It just so happened that at this time, Lian Jiuqi was looking for Xing Guodong everywhere, and after finding Xing Guodong chatting with people in front of the stall, he quickly dragged him away, and complained to him: "Are you sending money to people again?" ”
The reason why Lian Jiuqi said this is entirely because after Xing Guodong has been in this antique market for more than a year, almost everyone here knows him and knows that he is not here to do business, but just to listen to stories, so some people are bored and ask Xing Guodong to invite him to have a meal and a glass of wine to exchange stories, while others are maliciously deceiving Xing Guodong, making up stories by themselves, and cheating to eat and drink.
Lian Jiuqi told Xing Guodong countless times, but Xing Guodong just didn't listen. It's the same this time, after Xing Guodong agreed, when Lian Jiuqi left, he invited the stall owner to clean up and go to the restaurant next to him to eat and chat.
Antique trading is like this, everyone knows that it will not be open for three years, and it will be open for three years, so it depends on a fate, and the stall owner is not obsessed with sitting there every day, and it is of course better to have someone to eat and drink and someone to accompany him to talk, so after three rounds of wine, he opened up and told the origin of the painting.
During the ten years of turmoil, the boss was still in the Guannai at that time, and at that time there were four old things everywhere, and the boss was still young at that time, and his mind was full of thoughts of getting rich, and he participated in those activities in order to try to find something valuable in it.
However, every time he was in the event, the boss had no way to start, and he could only watch the treasures in his eyes being burned or smashed to pieces, and his heart ached.
However, perhaps it was fate, that year there was a concentrated activity in the county town to break the four olds, and a lot of things were brought in, stacked there and burned, and the boss thought, even if it was burned, there must be something left in it, so he ran quietly after late at night, wanting to rummage and rummage.
Unexpectedly, the boss found that an old lady mysteriously ran to the pile of still burning objects, took out a box and threw it directly, and then fled quickly.
When the boss saw the old lady fleeing, he went to look at the box again, and found that the box was not burning, so he rushed up and grabbed the box, and when he was about to rummage through other things, he noticed that someone was approaching and quickly fled.
The boss carried the box in his hand, ran up the hill in one breath, came to a new grave that had already been stepped on and sat down, took the box out of his arms, and carefully observed it.
It's strange to say that although the box has been burning in the fire for so long, when the boss goes to get it, there is no temperature at all, on the contrary, it is a bit of ice.
This makes the boss think that he should have picked up the treasure, but what is it inside?
The boss, who was sitting in the graveyard, did not open the box for an hour, and was afraid of being discovered, so he could only bury the box behind the new grave.
Because it was a new grave, even if someone touched the ground, no one would find out.
In this way, the boss kept moving the box, until finally the end of the ten years of turmoil and the country ushered in a new era, so he began to do business, but he was never able to open the box that was cold all year round.
Hearing this, Wei Chiran asked, "The Hundred Bone Diagram is in that box, right?" ”
Xie Meng glanced at the torture technique and said, "Yes, it's in that box." ”
The boss didn't even open the box, and decided to sell it in a fit of rage. So set up a stall to do business, and finally met a person who knew the goods, this person spent a price that both people agreed to buy the box, who knew that half a month later, this person came to the boss again, and brought a painting, the tone was very angry, saying that it was too unlucky, and the things in the box must be returned to the boss.
When the boss saw the painting, he hurriedly asked if it was something hidden in the box.
The buyer said that there was such an obscure painting hidden in the box, and if it weren't for the fact that it was an ice box, he would definitely not even want the box, but every time he saw the painting, he felt that something was wrong, so he simply returned the painting to the boss.
The boss was curious and hurriedly asked how he opened it?
And the reason why the buyer was able to open the box was entirely because his ancestors were tricksters, and this is a kind of mechanism box, which needs to be opened by pulling out the wooden strips at the four corners of the side of the box, and the wooden strips need to be turned one millimeter counterclockwise and then clockwise.
Therefore, the buyer easily opened the box when he went back, and it should be said that when he bought it, he found that the box was very precious, and if there was anything else in the box, then he really missed it.
Unexpectedly, there was such a horrible painting in the box, which made the buyer very uncomfortable, so he simply returned the painting.
Hou Wan and Wei Chiran laughed after hearing this, and Wei Chiran shook his head: "This is simply a modern version of buying and returning pearls." ”
But the others didn't laugh, they just stood there expressionlessly, and the torture technique looked at the two of them with a numb look.
The two put away their smiles, and Wei Chi asked, "And then?" ”
Xie Meng said: "This is the whole process of the boss finding the painting, but he doesn't know what the painting is, he only knows that it is painted with human bones, and there are a lot of them, the painting is very messy, if the painter has no painting skills, but many bones are painted so finely, it feels good to look at alone, but so many bones together, it gives people a weird feeling." ”
After the boss told Xing Guodong the story, Xing Guodong felt that this story was the most interesting story he had heard since he came to the antique market, so he asked, can you sell the painting to him? Let the boss make a price?
The boss is also a cheerful person, anyway, no one bought this painting there, so he simply gave the painting to Xing Guodong.
Xing Guodong went back happily with the painting, hung it up, and stood there admiring it.
Because Xing Guodong is a psychology student, probably only people like him like this kind of paintings, but he also knows very well that this kind of paintings are very gloomy, and he must collect them well, and he can't hang them out publicly, if some people with mental illness see them, on the contrary, it will aggravate that person's condition.
Also that night, Lian Jiuqi wanted to eat dumplings, but he didn't want to go alone, so he simply went to Xing Guodong, and when he entered the house, he saw the painting hanging there, Lian Jiuqi trembled, and immediately stepped forward to ask where this painting came from?
Because Lian Jiuqi was very emotional, Xing Guodong quickly explained it to him.
Lian Jiuqi then breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly told Xing Guodong that this was a painting painted by a corpse painter, and generally speaking, there must be some information hidden in this kind of painting, that is to say, this painting is a foreign object, and Xing Guodong had better dispose of it so as not to cause trouble.
When Xing Guodong heard Lian Jiuqi say this, he became even more interested, and pestered Lian Jiuqi to ask what was going on?
Even Jiuqi didn't know, but he was sure that it was the work of a corpse painter, but he could go to the underworld and ask what was going on.
After Lian Jiuqi took a photo of the hundred bones, he went to the photo studio to wash it out, and then went to the underworld to inquire around, but he didn't expect it, so he buried the root cause.
Half a year later, a foreign merchant approached Lian Jiuqi, hoping that Lian Jiuqi could help them find a treasure hidden in the ruins, and it was not dangerous, but they needed Lian Jiuqi's help.
Because Lian Jiuqi was going to go far away, he decided to explain to Xing Guodong and ask him to help take care of his son's torture.
The three of them were eating in the restaurant, and when Xing Guodong saw off Lian Jiuqi, he didn't expect to meet the foreign businessman again, but the foreign businessman did not shy away from Xing Guodong, said the details, and even invited Xing Guodong to go together.
Even Jiuqi didn't think much about it, after all, Xing Guodong had been looking forward to such an opportunity, and the foreign businessman promised that there would be almost zero risk this time, so he simply brought the criminal technique that was only ten years old with him.
And all this was the beginning of the pain and transformation of torture, but he was a teenager at the time, completely unaware of what was waiting for him on this so-called journey.
