Chapter 125: Murals

I've always been curious about these tricks, thinking they only exist in mythology. In particular, the wooden bird made by Lu Ban that year actually rose to the wind and flew for three days. I have asked Master before, and the answer He gave me was quite ambiguous.

Later, I remembered that I was bored to look up the information, and most of the literature used to mention that Lu Ban was not only a master of organs, but also a master of witchcraft. Only in this way can it be explained. Maybe Lu Ban's lineage is a sect that combines witches and witches?

But when I took the information and asked Master, Master was talking complete nonsense. I asked him how a wooden bird could fly for three days if it weren't for a witch, and he was speechless.

At this time, I remembered this little incident before, so I said to the fourth uncle: "Uncle, do you think Lu Ban is a master of witchcraft?" It's not just a mechanism, it's a mechanism combined with witchcraft. This organization has been inherited by Lu Ban, so it can create such an ingenious mechanism? ”

The fourth uncle touched his beard and nodded: "It's not impossible, but this can't be tested at all!" The Luban lineage is said to have been passed down to this day, and it has been passed down secretly, but no one has ever been able to find them, and the last Luban descendant who was discovered was in the late Qing Dynasty, but he did not show that he knew the art of witchcraft. ”

I have some feelings in my heart, maybe Lu Ban's organs are famous all over the world, but they have escaped from the world since ancient times, is it because they are afraid that others will know, many organs are powerful, not in technology, but in witchcraft?

I nodded and said, "Maybe, it's all rumors, who knows." ”

Sometimes, the more famous a lot of people are, the more undesirable things they will be. It's just that after the gods, everyone only cares about him, but automatically ignores the stories behind them, which are a bit like the brain-dead fans of celebrities called by society now.

Everyone didn't say much, they were paying attention to each other's murals, and I suddenly remembered something, because I thought that many murals would be photographed and go out to study and imitate, and none of us had a camera.

"Uncle Shi! I found a question, why did I come to investigate things this time, why didn't I leave some video materials? Why don't you take a picture? I asked right away.

The fourth uncle's face sank after hearing this, and I wondered a little, did I say the wrong thing? At this time, the fourth uncle said: "Let's not talk about whether many things can be filmed, such as ghosts or something, the camera can't shoot at all." Besides, even if you can photograph some things in the cave, this, there are some things in the department now, you will know in the future, anyway, you can't shoot it. "Fourth Uncle obviously doesn't want to say this to me, I don't know if it's because I'm young and wants to protect me, or because there are not core personnel here, so I can't say it to me.

"Then how do you report to work?" I asked Uncle Shi.

The fourth uncle said a little casually: "Report work, just talk about what you pass by on the road." It's okay to deal with it well or not, but if it is not handled well, it has caused a bad impact, and no matter how perfect the report is, it's not bullshit! ”

I nodded in understanding, then stopped talking and began to look intently at the murals.

Although they are all ways to die, I remember that Master once taught me that when looking at this kind of mural, the first thing to do is to abandon the story that the mural is trying to depict, that is, not to look at the content, but to analyze what is not the content.

Shake my head and let all these various ways of death quickly disappear in my mind.

I stood back so that I could see the whole picture of a mural for myself. On the whole, there are no various mythical beasts in the tombs I saw before, or only a few animals, and they are completely out of step with the mythical beasts.

In terms of the depiction of the characters, a lot of red is used, of course, it excludes various parts that depict blood, such as the executioner's clothes, and there are many people who have blush on their faces. And most of the murderers, plump, did not show a fierce look. As for the hair, women did not wear it over their shoulders, but on their heads.

All this tells me that if this is not a mural of the Tang Dynasty, it is an imitation of the mural of the Tang Dynasty. Because the murals of the Tang Dynasty were improved, the feathered beasts were canceled in the tombs, and the Tang Dynasty advocated fat as beauty, and in the Song Dynasty, the human body returned to the normal level, and in addition to red, more diversified elements and colors were used to compose the murals.

Knowing that this is a Tang Dynasty mural, I have to think about what exactly happened in the context of the Tang Dynasty. Why is there such a thing as a massacre?

I carefully recalled the Tang Dynasty, which seemed to be a large-scale massacre, and if it was calculated, the only serious thing was the Anshi Rebellion, which was to collude with the Xiongnu to assess the war and allow the Xiongnu to plunder the city of Luoyang for three days. From 755 A.D. to 763 A.D., eight years, the blood flowed like a river, the resentment was overwhelming, the population of Luoyang dropped from 9 million to less than 2 million, and as for the entire Tang Dynasty, the population loss rate accounted for 68 percent!

"Uncle Shi, let me ask, what is the significance of the Anshi Rebellion?" I don't know anything other than that after this Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was not there, and I could only dream back to the Tang Dynasty, and the politics and economy had been declining until its demise.

"What did you do in the Anshi Rebellion?" Uncle Si Shi didn't reply to me, he was still working hard to study the murals.

"I analyzed it, and this may be the Anshi Rebellion described." I was a little nervous and told him, after all, I was also guessing.

The fourth uncle finally turned around, glanced at me, and then looked up again and began to look at the mural: "Oh? Anshi Rebellion? ”

I nodded seriously: "Well, although on the whole, it is not as prosperous as Luoyang, but from the perspective of character portrayal, it is clearly the mural style of the Tang Dynasty." Neither the previous or subsequent dynasties fit this style. In the previous Tang Dynasty, there was no record of large-scale population massacre, and the only one recorded was the Anshi Rebellion, so I suspect that this organization may be using the Anshi Rebellion to hint at something, right? ”

"This ...... You've seen a lot of Sherlock Holmes, huh? "When the fourth uncle was groaning, the Taoist in Tsing Yi came over and patted me with admiration, which made me a little embarrassed. In my heart, I thought about what Fu Si was doing, a very powerful Taoist priest, and he gave it such a strange name.

The fifth uncle came over and said with a very ugly face: "The main significance of the Anshi Rebellion is that the northerners moved south, which promoted the development of the south. ”

The fourth uncle raised his head suddenly: "You mean?" ”

Fifth Uncle nodded: "I'm just guessing......"
