Chapter 8: Murals
Lan Ling glanced at him and nodded, feeling that this person didn't look like he was doing archaeology. She didn't doubt it too much, turned back to the mural, and followed Lao Wang and the others to clean the mud and dirt on the mural first.
Qin Hu quietly looked at the woman from the side, and also saw the name tag hanging on her clothes, and immediately knew what her name was. But seeing her wearing a mask and a hat, I couldn't see her appearance clearly at all.
He crouched beside the bones, and followed them with a small brush to sweep the dirt from it.
While making a pretentious sweep, I pondered: It's not right! Why is there no hurry when such an important note is stolen? So calm!
He didn't know what Feng Ze had arranged for him to come here! Is this mural important? Or does this woman matter? This left him confused for a moment.
He occasionally turned his head to look at Lan Ling, only to see that she had her back to him all the time. They occasionally talked, but the rest of the time they didn't say a word, and so did the people around them, all of them buried themselves in their work.
I just feel bored to death, there is no one to speak, all of them are men, and they are wearing masks one by one. Actually, it's okay, no one knows who it is, and it really stinks so much that people want to vomit here.
He squatted with a sore back and numb legs, and only felt that the task assigned to him by Feng Ze was getting more and more tired every time. He couldn't help but snort, slowly got up, and stretched his old waist.
"Ah......h When he looked down, he saw others looking up at him, and he laughed: "I shoveled soil for a long time just now, and my waist hurt a little." ”
"Then come and help!" Seeing that there were fewer people this time, Lao Wang glanced at him and saw that they agreed.
Qin Hu saw that this was exactly what he wanted, so he hurriedly walked over and greeted him with a smile, "Huh...... Captain Wang, just call me Xiao Qin. He smiled and looked at Lan Ling, who was seriously cleaning up the mural, with a serious face.
"Uh-huh. Xiao Qin, you go and clean up the murals over there, remember not to peel off this layer of mud outside. Lao Wang didn't look at him much, so he directly arranged for him to go over there.
Just getting closer to Lan Ling, Qin Hu raised his eyebrows and walked to Lan Ling's side, holding a small brush to clean up. Glancing at her, "Ahem...... Teacher Lan, is that so? He reached out to brush it, but he didn't expect the mud to be so careless, and a large piece fell off at the touch of it.
When Lan Ling heard the voice, he raised his eyes to look at him, "Be careful. She didn't care too much about him as a person, but she just felt that this person didn't seem to be of high quality.
She didn't bother to pay attention to it, and wanted to go to the other side, but suddenly she heard him whisper again, and a large piece fell down at once.
When she walked in, she immediately saw that it was actually like pulp, someone was deliberately trying to cover up these murals?
"How is this like a pot?! It's crispy! Worms have hollowed out the wall? He looked closer, but there wasn't even an ant. looked at the yellow and yellow on it, and a large patch of red was exposed. He looked like people were painted on the wall.
"No, someone deliberately tried to cover up the mural." Lan Ling saw him take a step back, and she immediately saw a part of the exposed mural.
Unexpectedly, she found that it was a figure wearing a purple robe, and she hurriedly cleaned the other place, but saw that the mud here was like a thin layer of skin, and when she pressed it lightly, it was all cracked.
She looked at it in amazement and immediately cleaned it up.
When Qin Hu saw this woman, he looked at it as if he was crazy, and he looked at it obsessively, as if he saw five million pasted on it.
However, he estimated that this whole large mural was more than five million! Invaluable!
He also followed to help, and it didn't take long for a large area to be cleaned up for them.
Lan Ling didn't call Lao Wang over immediately, because when she saw the mural in front of her, she couldn't believe it was real.
"What is this talking about?" When Qin Hu saw that she saw the mural, he was stunned. He looked at it for a long time, but he didn't find out what this painting meant.
"Well, it's a really nice painting, there are so many people! Is this a meeting? Or is it the emperor's early dynasty? When he saw it, he let out a "huh" and stretched out his hand to point to the mural, "And the monk!" As soon as he finished speaking, they all gathered around.
Lan Ling didn't listen to what they were talking about, she hurriedly got Xiao Chen's side cleaned up.
Xiao Chen on the right was startled when he saw her suddenly coming. He quickly got out of the way.
Lao Wang had already seen some fame at this time, and he beckoned them to move quickly. One afternoon, they were all working on cleaning the outer bread pulp, and many people wondered what kind of substance was mixed in it, which had not rotted for thousands of years. It's like a good barrier to protect the murals.
If it weren't for the mudslides caused by heavy rains, this place would not have been discovered.
"Huh! The further you go inside, the mildew is getting worse. Qin Hu frowned and looked at the mildew spots on the mural in front of him, the faces of the mural characters were full of such mildew spots, and he was about to become a phobia.
He stretched out his hand and scratched, and suddenly he was shocked, and said in his heart:! So careless! I even lost a lot of color when I touched it!
He coughed lightly, and when he saw that no one saw it, he quickly pasted the little color scraped off it with his hand.
Seeing that it was no longer sticky, he quickly turned around and spit, rubbed it on his hands, and carefully glued it.
Squinting his eyes, he saw that Lan Ling on the right didn't notice it, and he pretended to be casual and walked back.
"Did you find out? This bearded man actually has a pockmarked face! Qin Hu stretched out his hand to point, but found that his gloves were stained with red paint. He quickly clenched his hands behind his back. But he saw Lan Ling look at him, which made him a little flustered.
I thought: This woman is not an ordinary heart.
He turned his head and went to another place, but saw that Lan Ling was standing still, staring at the mural all the time.
Qin Hu looked at the sudden mouth and suddenly opened up, and said in his heart: Lao Tzu knows the reason why he wants me to come here. It turned out to be looking for the lover of his dreams!
He smirked wickedly and pulled out his phone.
"What are you doing!" Xiao Chen on the side saw that the person behind him actually took out his mobile phone and pointed at the mural.
Lan Ling and Lao Wang looked at the person named Xiao Qin standing behind them at the same time.
"Uh...... When did my phone break? He glanced at the Lan Ling on the other side, "Huh! It turned out to be shut down. He turned off his hand.
Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong when he saw this man, he walked over directly, looked at him, stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look." ”
Qin Hu glared as soon as he looked at the girly man in his mother, and he was about to confiscate his mobile phone. Scolding: How fucking old are you!
"Xiao Chen, come here and remove the light. A few of you put on the shelf. We're going to get the top one clean together. "Lan Ling doesn't want them to quarrel here, it hurts the harmony.
But I saw that since Lao Wang came in, the whole person was very wrong, if he had usually called them majestically. But when he came here today, he had very few words.
Seeing Xiao Qin over there, he smiled and Xiao Chen and started to set up a fight. She went to move the light to the other side, but when she moved it to the painting next to Lao Wang, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. Soon, she discovered that the painting was so badly damaged that it was the same as the one she had restored!
No, it's not the same! She looked at it carefully, and suddenly understood what was going on.
Seeing Lao Wang looking in a daze, she stood behind him and watched, and didn't speak all the time.
Qin Hu saw that both of them were still clubbing, he looked back while setting up the shelf, and immediately found something, "Huh! How is the position of this monk up there? And who is the leader? ”
As soon as Lan Ling heard what he said, he suddenly remembered something. I found out that this was actually the picture in my father's notebook! She looked from the right to the left.
Immediately understood. She was surprised, looked at Lao Wang, who had been standing, and asked tentatively: "Lao Wang, what do you think is the difference between this painting and the one we restored?" ”
Xiao Xu, who was standing aside and was in charge of taking pictures, looked at it, "Huh! That's not right! How is it the other way around! ”
For a moment, everyone looked at the mural.
Seeing Lao Wang chuckling, Lan Ling turned to look at himself, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes. It seemed to her that the look seemed to understand something, and a look of cunning.
She smiled and asked, "Lao Wang, tell me about it." ”
"Hey! I'm sure you've already found it, it's very similar to the frescoes your father found in the tomb, and the replicas we've restored now! He immediately shook his head, "No! It's exactly the same! ”
He looked at Lan Ling and asked, "Which one is a fake, do you have the answer in your heart?" ”
Lan Ling frowned and looked at him, "It's too early to judge!" Although the painting is complete, we have to look at the specific chronology, their chronological order. ”
"Can you tell, then?" Lao Wang raised his head and asked Lan Ling.
Lan Ling saw that he was a little provocative, but he actually wanted to deny his father's conclusion. She looked at the mural, "I'm just restoring it." How to determine the specific depends on the archaeological experts. ”
But seeing Lao Wang smiling, she didn't think she heard it, and walked to the side to look at the other three groups of murals, and saw the last one from the beginning one by one.
Suddenly, I found that the last one here was completely different from the previous one, and there was an extra woman on it, very tall and disproportionate to the others. Obviously, this is actually a form of expression of ancient frescoes. Especially in tomb murals, in order to highlight the protagonist of the mural, or some symbolic deity, they will paint the main figure very large.
"What's in her hand?" Lan Ling looked up, only to see that the painting on it was a female figure, wearing a robe and sitting cross-legged, tall, and it didn't look like the Queen Mother of the West. She frowned at what was in the hands of the figure in the painting.
"It's the elixir! Elixir? Qin Hu stood next to him and looked up, seeing that she was looking seriously, he scratched his head and said, "Could it be the Queen Mother of the West?" Elixir of immortality? Who is she going to give it to? There are so many people, can she give it? He tried to touch his chin, but suddenly he noticed that he still had paint on his hands. He put his hands behind his back and didn't help Xiao Chen build a shelf.
Xiao Xu and Xiao Chen on the side were cooperating with Lao Wang to move the shelf to the far left.
Qin Hu looked at it and said in his heart: It's not good! Don't be discovered.
He followed Lan Ling to clean up the last mural.
"Why do you think this is the last one? I think it's like the beginning! As soon as Qin Hu finished speaking, he saw Lan Ling standing on it, looking down at him.
Lan Ling listened, "Why do you think so?" Don't you see the rest? When she had finished speaking, it occurred to her mind that she said, "Isn't it important to have anything else?" That's not right!
She looked at the mural in front of her and saw that her father's notes did mention a similar scene.
Instantly, her back was cold, her heart tightened, and her heart said: Could it be that my father has been here?
She looked at it in surprise, and when she saw that there was movement over there, she pretended to be relaxed and returned to her usual serious expression. After coming down, he walked next to Lao Wang and saw what he had discovered.
When Lao Wang saw her coming, he smiled and said, "It seems that this is indeed what we are looking for, why is the previous one the opposite?" Quite simply, it means that the owner of the tomb had a relationship with this painting, and he wanted to bring one of them to the tomb, so he asked someone to make a copy. ”
Lan Ling frowned and shook his head, "Why don't you ask someone to redraw a picture?" It was clear that there was no such technology at that time, which could be rubbed. Then he asked, "Is it true that you are the original picture?" ”
"Of course! It was your father himself who made an exact copy of it. We don't end up being amateurs to the point that there is no such thing as a positive or negative order! Lao Wang said excitedly.
Qin Hu listened boringly, "Oops! What to fight! Isn't that obvious? At that time, the lord in the tomb was simply fooled, and he got a picture in the opposite order, and let people follow it! ”
Lan Ling disagreed with his statement, "Then tell me, if it's like you said, why did that person deliberately draw it backwards?" Is he full and has nothing to do? ”
"This ...... I don't know! Maybe I just didn't want to go with him, but there was really this technology at that time? Or is the person who painted it stupid? Deliberately reversing the order is ......" Qin Hu stood not far away and looked at the mural, and suddenly had the simplest idea.
He called Lan Ling over and stretched out his finger to point, "This is the middle one, right!" ”
Lan Ling nodded, and said in his heart: Isn't this obvious!
Seeing him stretch out his fingers, she followed the direction of the figure in the painting. I suddenly understood something, and I really realized it after retreating. She looked at the last key figure! That's the monk!
"He's got here." Lan Ling pointed to the last one, "If it's upside down, then ......"
"That's right! Then go over there! Isn't there a similar one over there? The key is to see where he goes! Qin Hu suddenly felt that this painting was really interesting, and said casually, "Fuck it!" It's really not conventional, it's all a routine! ”
was dragged by Lan Ling to the last mural she thought, but when she saw them, she was stunned.
"Can you tell me, what does that mean? Was this given to her, or did she give it to the monk? Qin Hu pointed to the thing in the hand of the figure in the mural and said, "Can you tell me, what is this?" The Ascension Pill that Chang'e ate, or is she half a step crazy with a smile? ”
