The deeper night has come again,

After the cold moon disappeared, when everything was silent.

It's midnight on a new day again, and I, Daoist Zuo, and Su Er and I are already in the right half of the exhibition hall of the Wuying Hall at this moment, ready to take a closer look at the secrets of the "Qingming Riverside Map".

After an afternoon of silent waiting, there is naturally no need to repeat it with you. The Forbidden City is as crowded during the day as it was yesterday.

We regret leaving that fat man Zhang Wenwu in Wuyingdian this morning, because he was obviously found by the security guards and taken away, and the strictly guarded Wuyingdian actually let a fat man spend the night in it, which will definitely become a breaking news in the Forbidden City patrol group. So Wu Yingdian was replaced with a new lock in one day, and the lighting control system was also changed. It's acceptable to change the lock, and we still have the technique of penetrating the wall, but the direct cutting off of this light source makes the advanced Zuo Dao Chang helpless.

We can only hold the flash on the mobile phone little by little to illuminate this hidden in the darkness of the picture, the five-meter-long famous painting is illuminated by a small spotlight one tiny spot after another, under the black pressure of the temple beam, leaving only our flickering figures.

I don't know the Tao or Feng Shui, but I clearly feel a strong momentum, and this Chinese painting in a glass cage is like a flood beast that can't be trapped. It weighs us down with a silent roar that reminds me of its existence at all times.

Every time that faint light hits the glass cabinet, I feel desperate when I look at the tip of the iceberg as far as our eyes can see.

At first, we were worried about how dangerous the painting of the Qingming Shanghe Picture was, but now it seems that this is all superfluous, because no matter how much we meditate and think about it, we can't understand its mysteries, and we can't enter into it at all.

The picture is so informative that no one can remember the details. In the more than five meters long scroll, a large number of people of all colors are depicted, such as cattle, mules, donkeys and other livestock, cars, sedan chairs, large and small boats, houses, bridges, and castle towers. It's not like "Han Xizai's Night Banquet", it's confined to a small room, it's an incomparably huge city, and it's so bustling that it's almost overcrowded. In such a magnificent world, let alone one Chen Fuming, even a hundred Chen Fuming are hiding inside, it is difficult for us to easily find the difference.

Besides, the last time we were able to enter the realm of painting, it was because Su'er told us the secret order, and now we are not so lucky, so we can only stare at the picture, and then there is nothing we can do.

"It's so hard!" I couldn't help but complain. "There are so many people in there, and a lot of them look weird to me. Finding the person we're looking for is harder than it is to get to the top! ”

Zuo Daochang also became agitated unconsciously, he took out two walnuts from his back, and kept turning them with his left hand. "I feel the same way. At first, I focused entirely on the world in the painting, ignoring that the river map itself is a collection of puzzles. ”

Zuo Daochang is right, even if there is no realm in the painting, the world outlined in this painting alone is enough for future generations to study painstakingly, and there are too many unsolved mysteries in the Qingming Shanghe map, and there are also many amazing secrets hidden. Experts have been working hard for many years to understand the paintings, how can I and Zuo Daochang see through them in just one night.

"Hongqiao...... Cargo ship...... Bianhe. Su'er muttered to herself on the side.

When we were all complaining about the complexity of this painting, only Su'er, who had always been lively and active, suddenly became quiet at this time, since she came to the Wuying Hall and saw this painting, her eyes were staring at it motionlessly, and her eyes did not separate for a moment. And the mouth kept babbling, without stopping.

"There are so many words in it that are so far from today's pronouns that I can't understand them anyway?" My eyes tingled but I couldn't see a clue, and my fingers inadvertently pointed to one of them. "For example, I think it's very strange to this person, there is a sign hanging on the wheel of his carriage, which says Xiangyinzi, what is Xiangyinzi? I've never heard of it. ”

"I once read in the history books that fragrant drinks are actually drinks, such as sour plum soup, mung bean soup, etc., with hot drinks in winter and cold drinks in summer. "Tokyo Menghualu" once recorded that in June, there were people selling ice and snow cold water and lychee paste in Bianliang's "Xiangmo Road Intersection and Qiaomen Shijin", all of which were stacked with green cloth umbrellas and bed benches on the street. Daoist Zuo patiently explained to me that he didn't expect him to have such a study of ancient books.

"Big brother, this weirdo is right, the fragrant drink is very delicious, I drink a lot every day in the summer." Su'er looked at the direction of my finger and said thoughtfully. "But the house you're referring to only sells lychee soup, not anything else. A large cart of lychees can make a small barrel of fragrant drink. ”

"Su'er ...... "Although she is quite pleasant to be quiet, I always feel that she is a little different in front of this picture." Su'er, you still have such a deep memory of Bianjing. It's as if you've seen it with your own eyes. ”

"Big brother, if you don't understand, you can ask me, I'm sure I know." Su'er smiled at me, and then her gaze wandered back to the scroll.

"This foot shop, Da Qianjiao shop, Su'er, do you know what it means?"

There is also the word "ten thousand" written on it, in fact, "ten thousand" means fine wine. The foot shop is a small shop, it can only buy wine and cannot make wine, big brother, you look carefully, there are many main shops in the city, and the foot shop needs to buy wine from the main store to sell, but this big thousand foot shop is more famous than many main stores. Su'er explained unhurriedly. Because the shopkeeper here is very good at telling stories, and his stories are more intoxicating than wine, and my mother sometimes comes here to drink. ”

"And what does it mean that there is such a strange lamp hanging on this hotel?"

"It's called the red gardenia lamp, and I often saw this kind of lamp when I was young, but I didn't know what it was for. Usually, but one of the more interesting things is that the hotels with such lanterns are usually closed late at night, and they are usually young men. ”

Later, we asked Su'er several questions one after another, and she answered them without hesitation, it was a familiarity that did not need to be considered, as if the world in the painting was the scene after scene that she had really experienced.

Su Er's performance of answering the stream really shocked me and Zuo Daochang, Zuo Daochang is well-informed, and he knows many strange things well, but I don't think he can clearly understand every detail of this long scroll. But this little girl who was less than ten years old was able to answer so smoothly, which made Daoist Zuo have to strengthen his thoughts. "Liu Quan, I think if I'm not mistaken, the era painted in this Qingming Shanghe Picture is the same time as the era of this little ghost before his death, and every scene in this painting is what she has experienced."

"So Su Er was born in the Northern Song Dynasty?" I whispered in the ear of the left chief. "It's possible, because after the Song Dynasty was in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Su Er had the opportunity to enter the "Han Xizai Night Banquet Map"."

"I think so, and I think it's a coincidence, this little girl is clamoring to go to Bianjing, and this painting is depicted in the Song Dynasty, I can only understand that she is here to help us enter the realm of painting."

"Su'er, can you help the big brother?" I stroked her hair gently and whispered to her that I was afraid that she would be angry with me for breaking my promise.

But it seems that it is my villain's heart, Su'er was not a little unhappy, she quickly replied with a smile. "Big brother is good to me, I'm willing to help big brother."

"Su'er, can you help the eldest brother take a closer look at this painting, what do you think is strange and inconsistent with your impression?"

Su'er began to scrutinize the painting more closely, frowning a few times from time to time.
