Chapter 33: The Murals
After a while, Taro said that it was almost time before we got closer, and at last we could barely get the whole picture. There was indeed a large picture scroll on the wall, and there was a series of strange words in the middle of the two doors, which I could not pay attention to, so I concentrated on walking from left to right to see the whole picture.
Only then did I get a general idea of what was depicted in the painting. In my opinion, the whole pattern is recorded like this: at the beginning, many, many shirtless ancients worked together to carry the trunk of the tree, resting, as if preparing for the construction of some huge building, and sure enough, the next day, a magnificent hall rose from the ground, and everyone cheered in front of the hall, and a relatively short young man sat in the hall and waved to the crowd outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, the entire hall suddenly disappeared, and the short young man in the picture was still in the picture, but now he was sitting on an exaggerated chair, and at his feet, the crowd sat opposite each other, everyone holding weapons in their hands, and there was a contradiction in the formation. Later, the victorious side, accompanied by the short young man, stayed where it was, while the losing side helped each other to leave. But judging from the picture, the short young man was not happy, and his body was leaning and reaching out to keep him.
The scroll came to an abrupt end, and then it was far from covering the entire stone gate, leaving a large blank space behind, not so much that there was no story to describe, but as if it was deliberately left for a good record.
At least, whoever carved these paintings on the stone door. They want to figure it out later.
At first glance, it did not describe any method of how to open the stone door, and the rest of the hope was that the ancient text could be enlightened.
And the only people here who are likely to read that kind of writing are Datou. Sure enough, when I looked at the pattern on the stone gate like a comic book, the big head had already finished reading the picture and turned to study the dense ancient characters, and he didn't know what he was muttering with words in his mouth.
The fat man had long been very bored, and asked the smoker for a cigarette, and then found a place to sit down and smoke, and the monkey didn't like to look at these things, although his age determined that he would be curious, but it was only curious, so he looked at it for a while, and then sat down next to the fat man, and the smoker was sorting out the things in the bag, and the taro was wandering around. Looking at Zhang Wei and Zhang Yao again, this look can startle me.
The two of them were simply admiring the stone paintings one by one, and they kept rubbing their fingers against the painting marks, and it seemed to me that both of them had tears in their eyes, and even their legs trembled uncontrollably when they saw the short man.
I really don't understand what's going on, isn't it just a painting? As for the excitement like this?
After staring at them for a while, I also felt bored, and my eyes were a little tired, and I reached out and rubbed my eyes, but suddenly I looked at a black light not far behind the fat man. I immediately whispered, "That is here again." ”
"Where?" The fat man hurriedly turned away. The cigarette butt in his hand didn't even think to throw it away, and he immediately burned it so hot that he shook his hand with an 'ah-oh'.
I hurried to the place where I saw the shadow, and the thing didn't know where it had gone. "Forget it, this underground is its territory, and if it wants to hide, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find."
I don't know why, I would say such things, and being vigilant about such unknown things should be the most basic human reaction, but now, I seem to be numb.
The fat man stared at me for a while, and yawned, "I said big head, have you finished your research, how to open this stone door?" ”
The big head turned around when he heard the voice, and nodded with a gloomy expression, "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
As soon as the fat man heard the good news, he stood up and patted his buttocks, "Of course, I heard the good news first." ”
"The good news is that I know how to open this stone door." The big head said, but he didn't see the slightest sign of his joy.
"And what about the bad news?" I asked.
"The bad news is that we're afraid we've been deceived by the old man again."
"What?" When the fat man heard this, he immediately glared angrily at the Zhang brothers, but Zhang Wei and the two were still staring at the stone painting, leaving only the fat man with an indifferent back.
"What do you mean to be deceived again, and what do you mean?" I urged the big head to make things clear.
"According to the written records on the stone gate, this underground tomb is not a tomb at all, and if you want to explain it with the right words, it should be said that it is a display room, and the display in it is all related to these ancient people depicted in the paintings." The big head looked at the figure in the painting, "According to the text, these people built this showroom to remember their lost home. ”
"Nima's, so to speak, there is no treasure in it at all." The fat man stomped his feet on the ground in hatred.
The big head smiled, "Not necessarily, don't you see what the people who leave are like in the last picture of the picture?" These people didn't just leave, they took a lot of luggage with them. Who can guarantee that there is nothing of value in it? ”
Hearing this, the fat man suddenly turned his anger into joy, "Oh, I said that the big head was said earlier, it hurt Lao Tzu to waste so many expressions, and the ups and downs of emotions are not good for the body, come on, since there may be good things inside." Tell me how to open this stone door. As he spoke, he couldn't wait to roll up his sleeves.
The light smile on the corner of the big head's mouth instantly increased, "The method of opening the stone door is very simple, according to the above statement, the group of people who built this showroom like to sing very much, so as long as they sing a song towards the stone gate, it will automatically open." ”
"Huh?" The fat man's mouth was wide open, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "Big head, you're not kidding?" ”
The big head immediately changed to a solemn expression, "That's what the text on it says, saying that their people can sing and dance, so if you sing and dance at the same time, this stone gate will open faster." ”
We can see that this is deliberately playing fat, so we can't help but laugh and see how he chooses, you know, he is the master of a tendon to the end, maybe he will really do this.
Sure enough, his eyes wandered several times between the repeated stone gate and the big head, "Hmph, his grandmother's, Lao Tzu doesn't shoot the ground or not, so why not sing a song and dance for your broken stone door, you just stand here and watch Lao Tzu perform, you must remember that this is a sacrifice made in order to complete a glorious and great task, and everyone must learn to learn such dedication." ”
"Poof", the monkey couldn't help but laugh quietly, "What kind of dedication and sacrifice, I haven't heard that there may be a treasure inside." ”
