Chapter 66: The Contents of the Mural
Seeing Wang Lianba like this, Gao Chao didn't understand the meaning, but he was a little helpless, so he had to be patient and turn his head to look at the mural.
On the mural, the content of the painting is very rich, at first glance, there is no clue, Gao Chao had to follow the habit, from left to right little by little.
The leftmost end of the mural, the damage is somewhat serious, as if it was deliberately destroyed, revealing a large blank space, but the right side of the blank place, you can see clearly, it is a black bird, the bird's body lines are clear, the tail is naturally divided into two forks, very much like the tail of a swallow, and the bird's head, there are three eyes, one of which is on the forehead, very much like a human eye, and the black bird's body radiates golden light, is spreading its wings and soaring, flying to the blank area on the left, but that place is seriously damaged, It turns out that what was drawn is unknown.
Looking at the right side of the mural, it seems to be an ocean, the sea is blue, there is a boat on the sea, but there is no mast on the boat, but there is a person standing on the boat, the person is dressed in red, his arms are naturally drooping, his back is facing the picture, he can't see his appearance clearly, just standing on the boat like that, as if the ship is floating at will in the distance, Gao Chao looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't think of what it meant.
Since he couldn't think of it, Gao Chao looked to the right again, and saw that the black bird appeared again, only this time, the blackbird had only two eyes on its head, it flew in the sky, but it was holding a red thing in its mouth, and it couldn't see what it was, the shape of a ball, and on the ground below the blackbird, there were some people running and chasing, as if they were following the direction of the bird, and among those people, there was also one person who was particularly obvious, that person was painted much larger than the others, dressed in red, It seems to be similar to the man standing in the boat before, but he can't see his face clearly.
Further to the right, the picture turns, the momentum is completely different, the whole mural, this part should be the most spectacular, on the picture, the mountains and rivers in the distance are stacked, the terrain is flat nearby, but there are many palace-like buildings, and those buildings look a bit like small pyramids, but Gao Chao has never seen that form of ancient buildings, and around those buildings, there are countless people, those people look carefully, but find that it seems to be divided into categories, different, Some people's skin color is black, some people are white, and some people are red, and what is even more strange is that some of those people are dressed and dressed, and some people are naked, like slaves, but the skin color of those people and the dress are not necessarily regular, not naked people, they are all black-skinned, so it looks like it's really a bit chaotic, but the crowd of those people seems to be very regular, they seem to be busy under those buildings, Some people are still walking on the buildings that resemble the pyramids, and some people have already stood at the top of the pyramids, and then they saw a staggering scene, on the top of those buildings, very clearly drawn, some people were cut off heads, and then the red blood flowed on the ground, and slowly flowed downward, and finally flowed into the soil under the buildings, and those severed heads, but were put into several bronze tripods, and there was a bonfire under the big tripod, as if those heads were cooked.
Seeing such a scene, although it was only a mural, it also made Gao Chao shudder, but he also thought that the ancient murals were mostly based on religion, and most of them were fabricated, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked to the right.
But when he saw this, he shuddered, because in the mural on the right side, there were some people wearing white clothes, forming a circle, and in the center of the circle, there was a wooden stake erected, and there was a person tied to the stake, that person was wearing a cloak and could not see his face clearly, but he was also dressed in red, and most importantly, the body of the person in red was actually burning with flames.
When Gao Chao saw such a picture, he couldn't help but think of the previous dream, in which a person was also ignited in this way, and danced in the fire, as if dancing some kind of death dance, and at the end of the dream, he also saw a woman, a woman in red, hugging himself and burning with him.
Thinking of this, Gao Chao had goosebumps, although the dream may have nothing to do with the content of the mural in front of him, but Gao Chao still felt uncomfortable, and immediately continued to look to the right, and the mural on the right side has reached the end, which is the end of the whole mural.
What is presented on the picture is like the scene before the departure of the army, several crowds of people are neatly arrayed, ready to go, dressed in armor of different colors, looking majestic and majestic, and the momentum is extraordinary, and in front of the whole army, there is a person who is obviously painted very big, just like the person in the second picture before, is obviously exaggerated, superb understand, this is a common painting technique in ancient times, is used to focus on the expression of important people, that person in the picture with his head held high, at a glance is an emperor-like figure, and in front of him, there were some people kneeling down, and among those who were kneeling and worshipping, the person in front was holding a thing in his hand, as if he was offering it to the emperor, and at this time Gao Chao noticed that the thing that was lifted up was a little familiar, but because of the distance, he couldn't see it clearly.
So Gao Chao stood up alone and walked towards the mural, he came to the front, took a closer look, and suddenly realized, he couldn't help but tremble, and then immediately turned around, looked at Wang Lianba, who was still sitting on the sofa, and said in a trembling voice: "This...... This...... Which bronze drum is painted on it? ”
As soon as Gao Chao's words came out, the first person to react turned out to be the fat man, and when the fat man heard this, he jumped up from the sofa and ran to Gao Chao to see the mural.
Then the fat man said excitedly as if he had discovered a new continent: "I grass, Lao Gao, this painting is really our bronze drum, now there is circumstantial evidence, our drum is worth the money!" ”
The fat man is right, as long as it is an antique cultural relic recorded in ancient books, if it appears on the market, the value is naturally immeasurable, and although I don't know where this mural comes from, but if the bronze drum on this picture is really the side that Gao Chao collected from the Yunnan shovel, then it is conceivable that the market price of this thing may have to double several times.
So after the fat man said this, he hurriedly said to Wang Lianba, who was sitting on the sofa: "Eighth master, what is the origin of this mural?" We've been watching it for a long time, and I'm almost asleep, so you're going to have to tell us about it now, right? ”
