Chapter 2097: Murals
Entangled in their hearts, Ye Gufan and Xiao Shitai came to the mural.
Both of them gathered their minds and came to see the mural.
There are four murals in total, all of which are very tall and more than one zhang, and look very majestic.
Moreover, these murals are formed by carving stone walls, although they have not undergone depiction techniques such as painting and dyeing and coloring, but on the stone walls, there is originally a color difference. Coupled with the carver's ingenuity, it looks very clear and has a strong sense of three-dimensionality.
The first mural is a scene in the courtyard of the deep palace. And if you look closely, the deep palace compound is very majestic and tall, and it is actually the grandeur of the palace.
In the compound, there were dozens of people surrounding a huge copper tripod, and the purple gas in the tripod was swirling, obviously alchemy.
On the north side of Danding, there is an emperor wearing a flat crown and standing with his hands. But beside the emperor, there was another scribe, who also stood with his hands in his hands, and even his face was even more arrogant, and his bearing was not under the emperor.
Other cultural relics officials are holding wat boards, and the emperor and the scribes stand to the north across the bronze tripod, bowing slightly.
"This is an emperor's alchemy picture...... Ye Gufan looked at the entire mural and thought: "The costumes of the Qin Dynasty, this emperor must be a certain emperor of the Qin State." ”
Xiao Shitai nodded and agreed, and said: "It's just that there is no text on it, so I can't be sure which emperor it is." ”
"It must be a nest emperor, you see the scribes around him, standing side by side with him, and they don't mean to respect him at all." Ye Gufan pointed to the mural and said: "In the past, the courtesy of monarchs and ministers was very exquisite, and between the emperor and the ministers, they would never stand in such order. The scribes stood shoulder to shoulder with the emperor facing south and north away, and accepted the bows of the hundred officials, obviously not taking the emperor seriously. ”
On the screen, the position of the emperor and the scribe standing is indeed very strange.
The first visual sensation is not that the emperor stands out, but that the scribe stands out. In the past, this was a great rebellion.
During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao usurped the Han Dynasty and invited Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to hunt through Xu Tian to test the hearts of the ministers of civil and military affairs. Emperor Xian missed three arrows in a row, and Cao Cao borrowed the Son of Heaven to carve a bow and a golden arrow to shoot the deer. The ministers mistakenly thought that it was the Son of Heaven who shot it, and they all shouted "Long live". Cao Cao came out on horseback and immediately received cheers in front of the Son of Heaven. Guan Yu Guan Erye was furious and wanted to behead Cao Cao, but was stopped by Liu Bei.
The Three Kingdoms are still hundreds of years later, and the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers cannot be offended. In the pre-Qin period, it was even more strict.
This scribe, standing side by side with the emperor, is absolutely unreasonable.
"This scribe is going to rebel?" Xiao Shitai can't analyze the power and conspiracy of the monarch and ministers, so he naturally knows a little about it.
Ye Gufan shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, if you look at the next mural, maybe there will be an answer." ”
The two of them walked a few dozen steps forward to see the second mural.
On this fresco, there are still emperors and scribes. However, the scene was changed to the royal palace.
On the dragon chair in the palace, the emperor held the pill in his hand, and he was angry, and the hundreds of military officials below the rank were silent one by one. Only the scribe stood with his head held high, sneering on his face.
"Why is the emperor angry?" Xiao Shitai looked at the mural repeatedly, frowning and thinking.
Ye Gufan thought for a while and said, "The emperor is holding an elixir in his hand, and he is angry at the civil and military officials. What does this mean...... Probably because the alchemy failed, so Long Yan was furious. ”
"It makes sense, but what does this scribe's expression mean?" Xiao Shitai then asked.
"I can't guess that." Ye Gufan shook his head.
The two of them looked at the second mural for a long time, and then walked forward to see the third mural.
The third fresco, like the scene in the second fresco, is still in the palace.
But the emperor sat on the dragon chair and smiled. And the scribe stood beside the emperor, pointing to the east, and was saying something.
Looking in the direction of the scribe's finger, the edge of the mural is a vast sea. The smoke is vast, and there is an isolated island hanging overseas.
Ye Gufan looked at the island, suddenly exclaimed, and said, "Isn't this the Yingzhou Secret Realm of Yingzhou Island?" ”
Ye Gufan arrested Wu Meiniang and other old ghosts last time, broke into the Yingzhou Secret Realm, and subdued the Ten Demon Kings, so he naturally knew the situation in the Yingzhou Secret Realm well. At this moment, Ye Gufan was sure that it was correct.
"Yingzhou Secret Realm?" Xiao Shi Tai was stunned for a moment and said, "So, the scribe is introducing the Yingzhou Secret Realm to the emperor?" ”
"That's right, what the scribe meant was to say that there was an elixir in the overseas immortal mountains, so that the emperor would target overseas. That's why the emperor turned his anger into joy and smiled. Ye Gufan analyzed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Now, Ye Gufan already vaguely knew who this scribe and emperor was. However, some evidence is needed to be sure.
Xiao Shi bowed his head and said, "Well, combined with the analysis of the first and second murals, this is indeed the case." This emperor wants to live forever, so alchemy, this is the content of the first mural; But the elixir refined, so the emperor was furious, which is the meaning of the second mural; Now on the third mural, the scribe offered a plan, saying that there was an elixir overseas, so the emperor Long Yan was happy. ”
"Clever, that's it!" Ye Gufan applauded.
"Then the fourth mural is ...... The emperor went to sea to find the elixir, and then the scribes took the opportunity to rebel and take over the world? Xiao Shi asked with a big brain.
"Haha...... It's really interesting that the little master thinks about it. Ye Gufan laughed and said: "This is impossible, if the emperor goes to sea in person, he will inevitably bring scribes, how can he leave the scribes and give him the opportunity to rebel?" The emperors of the past were not everyone Liu Adou. ”
Xiao Shitai thought about it, and this is also the truth, so she smiled, and then went to see the fourth mural.
"If I'm not mistaken, the fourth mural should be a scribe going to sea......" Ye Gufan followed Xiao Shitai's side and said.
As they spoke, the two of them had already come to the fourth mural.
Xiao Shitai glanced at it, and exclaimed: "Brother Ye, you are right, it is indeed a scribe who goes to sea!" ”
The last mural is larger than the previous one. Not only is the area large, but also the magnificence.
In fact, this mural can be seen as two parts.
In the first part, the scribes went to sea, and the emperor led the civil and military officials to see them off in person. The second part is the scene where the scribe leads a large number of young men and women to the sea and arrives on Yingzhou Island!
Ye Gufan stared at the mural, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened. Because of the identity of the emperor and scribe on the mural, Ye Gufan already knew.
It's just that now, Ye Gufan still doesn't understand, what is the connection between that giant and this emperor and scribe? And the Yingzhou Secret Realm, what is the connection between it and this giant?
Or, is this giant an emperor? Is it a scribe?
"Brother Ye, I know who this scribe is, and this emperor!" Xiao Shitai also guessed the identity of the imperial scribe and was excited.
