There is a very detailed record in the history textbook of junior high school, "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is one of the representative works of the Five Dynasties period, which is rich in content, covering furniture, music and dance, clothing, etiquette, etc., and is an important reference for studying the artistic styles of clothing and decoration in the Five Dynasties period, in other words, this painting is an encyclopedia.

But if those official explanations aside, this painting should be regarded as a voyeuristic picture according to modern terms, and Li Yu, the male queen of the Tang Dynasty, heard that his minister Han Xizai spent every day drinking and his style was corrupt, so he sent the court painter Gu Hongzhong to spy on him secretly, and sketched his every move in detail. Its essence is no different from the candid photography of modern society, except that there is no image of the five generations.

We carefully looked at the picture scroll in the closet through the glass, and this "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" was really as beautiful as we imagined, and there were dozens of figures in the whole picture scroll, with different shapes, dazzling to see.

"I really don't have to say anything about this painter!" I secretly marveled that the color, composition, and lines of this famous painting can be said to be perfect, the characters are arranged in a dense manner, and the expressions on the faces of the characters are also vividly shaped.

"Boss Liu, we are pressed for time. Let's not delve into the details of how this painting works. Zuo Daochang's eyes stared intently at the scroll, and he didn't dare to be distracted for a moment. Let's take a look at what the characters are different from the others. ”

The whole painting of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" is divided into five parts, namely, the banquet and listening, drumming and dancing, the screen rest, the jade man blowing, and the aftermath of the night, which just represents the five time points of the night banquet, but this painting is subtle and subtle in the painter Gu Hong listed these five time points on a picture scroll, and then used screens, beds, long cases, orchestral instruments and other common items in ancient houses to softly divide the picture, so that the picture scroll looks like a unified whole, and has its own independent theme. To a certain extent, it is similar to the previously seen "Luo Shen Futu", which means that there are many characters in the whole painting that are repeated, and as long as we find those characters that only appear once, we can basically find out which one is a ghost.

Of course, this idea is not very logical and one-sided, but at this point in time we have no better choice.

"Look here!" I pointed to a monk in a yellow robe, who looked out of place, standing there dumbfounded. "This monk seems to be very disobedient, how could there be a monk at this dinner party of Yingge and Yan Dance?"

Daoist Zuo hurriedly shook his head. "This is Monk Deming, Han Xizai's good friend, he advised Han Xizai not to be Li Yu's prime minister, he can never be a ghost."

"What about this?" I pointed to a maid hidden behind a screen, with only half of her head exposed. "This sneaky thing, could it be a ghost?"

"It's not this either, this one looks like the other maids in terms of dress and skin color, it should be the original character in the scroll."

This made me a little disheartened, because apart from the two characters that seemed to me to be abrupt, the rest of the parts were quite harmonious.

"I really don't see anything else out of the ordinary, to be honest, I haven't seen Han Xizai's night banquet before."

"Maybe we can't solve this problem anymore by looking at the characters, let's start with the furniture." Daoist Zuo also sighed in disappointment, and then took out the compass and looked at it. "We're running out of time."

"Could it be that this ghost can be turned into a screen or a stool? If that's the case, how can you find out? I looked at him with tears and laughter.

"Maybe he'll hide in a place, like a quilt, or a cupboard." As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up. "Look here!"

He pointed to the third part of the scroll, a corner of the screen rest, in the picture, several maids were washing their hands for Han Xizai, and another maid was playing the pipa in front of Han Xizai, and it could be seen that this should be Han Xizai's bedroom, because except for a few maids, there were no other male ** people stopping.

"This is normal, what's all the fuss about the maid washing her hands with the master?"

"No, look at the bed on Han Xizai's left, does it look like there is a person." Daoist Zuo hurriedly pointed it out to me.

This finger doesn't matter, even I almost screamed, on the blue bed, the quilt was actually raised high, obviously someone was sleeping here, and I could see some short hair peeking out of the quilt slightly. This is indeed very strange, because this bed obviously belongs to Han Xizai, even if his guests are free and easy, no matter how informal, no matter how polite they are, they will not be washed by the host, but he sleeps on the master's bed.

"This man is really strange. And the hairstyle is also very strange, this is obviously a modern flat hairstyle. I said.

"But this person really doesn't look like a ghost, and I can't say why, it's just an intuition, I've seen too many ghosts." While I had seen the glimmer of hope under his guidance, he fell into deeper doubts.

Not a ghost? What is it? I began to ask myself questions in my mind.

Then there was a shudder. "Oops! Zuo Dao Chang, we started in the wrong direction, we shouldn't come to this picture scroll to find ghosts, we should find people! ”

"Looking for someone? What do you mean? ”

"Daoist Zuo, do you remember that Jiao Yuqin's wife said that he came out with two friends, and the old aunt only cared about his wife, and didn't mention Jiao Yuqin's two friends at all, but I think that since Jiao Yuqin has this kind of thing, his two friends should be the same as him. Or even worse than his situation. ”

Zuo Dao Chang frowned and said slowly. "Do you think that this person lying on the bed is a friend of Jiao Yuqin."

"That's right! I think his friend must be trapped in the realm of painting, do you remember what the chef of the roast duck shop said, he said that Jiao Yuqin said that he found a secret garden in the Forbidden City, and you can enter it with just a password, isn't this the realm in the painting? ”

Zuo Dao Chang nodded repeatedly. "That's right, that's right, he also said that the beauties in it are like clouds, which is exactly in line with the content of "Han Xizai's Night Banquet".

This time we sorted out the cause and effect of the whole incident, it must be that when Jiao Yuqin was looking at the painting in the Wuying Palace, he accidentally discovered the mantra to enter the realm of the painting, and then accidentally entered the realm of the painting, and found that the wine pond and meat forest inside, and the fun was endless, but he didn't know what the principle was, so he depicted this fictional world as a secret garden, and then that day he was drunk, he took two friends to sneak into the Forbidden City, wanting to see the wonder of the realm in the painting again, but this time he was not as lucky as before, they met a ghost in the realm of the painting, Jiao Yuqin ran out, but his two friends are still missing. And Jiao Yuqin's escape route was to run north from Wuying Hall to the vicinity of the Guanzi River, he fainted, and then was discovered by the police.

But this kind of thing is really more and more tricky, and now there is a bigger question in front of us, what is the mantra for entering this "Han Xizai's Night Banquet"? If you can't enter the realm of painting, everything is in vain.

While we were worried about this, there was a sudden shrill shout and a rush of footsteps outside the main hall, and the beam of the flashlight was intermittently shining towards us.

"It's so late, what are you doing here?"

"This! Why is the lamp of this Wuying Hall still on? ”

"Wouldn't it? Could it be that Xiao Wang forgot to turn off the lights. ”

Listening to the footsteps, I broke out in a cold sweat. "Oh my God, Captain Zuo, it's a patrol officer."

At this time, if we are caught, we will not be able to wash ourselves by jumping into the Yellow River, and Zuo Dao Chang and I will definitely be arrested as thieves who steal paintings.

Seeing that the two patrolmen had reached the gate, and their shadows could be seen through the window, my heart beat wildly, with a tingling pain. In this case, even if it is Zuo Daochang's wall-piercing technique, I'm afraid it's too late.

Suddenly, the lights in Wuyingdian went out all of a sudden, and then I felt a soft body knock me to the ground, gently pressed against me, and stretched out his palm to cover my mouth.

"Shh A girl's voice suddenly rang in my ears. "Be quiet!"

She weighed little, but she was cold.

Naturally, I didn't dare to speak again, so I could only squint my eyes and bow my head, praying that I was safe.

"You're mistaken, there's no light here." The man outside the door gently pushed the door. "And the door is locked."

"What? Hell, I just saw the light here. ”

"You stupid two, you scared Lao Tzu a lot, if this famous painting is lost, we won't be able to eat and walk around."

Then I heard footsteps drifting away, accompanied by yawns, and disappeared into the cold wind in the blink of an eye.

"Thank goodness." I gasped for air before I realized that the girl had been pressing on top of me.

I only heard a snap of my fingers, and the lights of Wuying Hall suddenly turned on again, and I slowly got up, and only then did I see everything in front of me clearly.

A girl who looked fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a loose gown in the ancient form, with big eyes and a ponytail on her head, was looking at me and Zuo Daochang with curiosity.

"Huh! Haha, two more fools have come here. She suddenly started tapping my toes with her feet, smiling from ear to ear.

At this time, the compass of the left chief made a violent sound, and the pointer swayed rapidly.

"It's you little ghost! Come with me. Zuo Dao Chang grabbed the girl and said viciously. You must revive Jiao Yuqin for me. ”

As soon as she saw Zuo Daochang's fierce appearance, the little girl wowed and cried.
