Chapter 0122: Hundred Beast Diagram
It was about a few meals, and the three of us came to the center of the capital of the ancient Dian Kingdom in fear.
Speaking of the imperial palace of the ancient Dian Kingdom, it is not gorgeous and noble, probably because the social productivity at that time was still very limited, and the rulers mainly considered the life and death of the country, and did not have so much heart to enjoy.
Entering the palace, we tried to avoid the avenue inside, and stepped on a special cobblestone path, trying to secretly enter the palace where the king was in charge of the government.
The whole palace is not large, but it is also a few hundred square meters, and the buildings inside are obviously much better than the shops outside.
After a while, the three of us came to a square, on which there were rows of jade steps, through which we might reach the palace of the king.
Originally, we were about to arrive at the king's palace in one go, but a huge stone screen in the square attracted us. After all, the purpose of our trip is to find the Nine Dragon Wall, as long as there is a stone wall, we naturally can't miss it.
When a huge stone wall with a length of more than ten meters and many patterns painted on it was displayed in front of us, I was really happy to think that it was the Nine Dragon Wall at first, but after a little look at the patterns on it, I found that it was impossible to be the Nine Dragon Wall of the Treasure at all.
"Hey, what dragons and tigers are painted on here, not carved, how strange is that?" The fat man held his chin and looked at it for a while, and a trivial murmur came out of his mouth.
I saw that the most important point of the sea fat man was not seen, so I couldn't help but shake my head with a wry smile and reminded: "It's not just that, they don't seem to have painted their eyes yet." ”
When he heard me say this, he was stunned, and when his eyes suddenly enlarged, he almost didn't jump, but no, they didn't draw their eyes.
At this time, after a period of hard searching, Li Baqiu pointed to a small corner of the huge stone tablet and said urgently: "Look, everyone, there seem to be words here." ”
As soon as I heard the words, I hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by Li Baqiu, and found that the subtle corner of the stele really had an inscription, although it was only a few lines, but it was enough to explain this stele painting.
The font inscribed on the stele is seal, very ancient, I naturally don't know, but to my great disappointment, Li Baqiu, who is known as a jack of all trades, doesn't even know it, and now everyone can only sigh.
After carefully admiring the beast painting on the stone tablet, the fat man walked over, and after he squinted at the lost two of us, he said lightly: "This is the ancient script of the Warring States Period, I can understand a little." ”
Drink, when I heard it with Li Baqiu, we all looked at him with incredulous eyes, as if they were looking at a monster. Originally, in my memory, it was a fact that the sea fat man could speak Japanese, but I didn't expect that he also knew the ancient characters of the Warring States period, how could he not make people's jaws drop.
Li Baqiu saw that the fat man was pretending to be deep, and he couldn't help urging for a while: "Fat man, don't show off, hurry up and tell us what is said above?" ”
After a while, the fat man pointed to the inscription on the stone wall and said: "This is a picture of a hundred beasts, and the person who painted this picture is Zhuang Ji, the king of Yunnan, and the thing he painted has the finishing touch, so he did not paint eyes on the beasts above." ”
After listening to the fat man's story, I always didn't believe it, and said in my heart, will you not know how to pretend to understand and fool us? Thinking of it, I couldn't help but say out loud: "Hai Fatty, this finishing touch is used to describe the wonderful and lifelike painting of Zhang Shengqiu, a painter of the Liang Dynasty, why did you still move here?" ”
For my questioning, the fat man was obviously a little disdainful, pursed his lips and continued: "I just expressed it truthfully, if you don't believe it, I can show it to you, in fact, to be honest, I don't believe it very much." ”
The fat man said, biting his fingers and wanting to put the finishing touch to one of the beasts on the stone wall, I stood aside and watched with interest, but I wanted to see what tricks the fat man could play.
However, when the fat man's hand was just about to point on the eyes of a tiger in the Hundred Beast Diagram, Li Baqiu on the side hurriedly grabbed him in fright, and said in a trembling voice: "Don't... I can't believe it..."
Li Baqiu's sudden scene made me and Hai Fatzi stunned at the same time, they didn't expect that he Li Baqiu was such a big person, and he would believe in this kind of mentally retarded trick that can only deceive children.
The fat man laughed out loud at first, and scolded angrily: "Li Baqiu, you have a nerve in your brain, do you believe this?" ”
Li Baqiu saw that the two of us were looking at him with childlike eyes, and he didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he directly pulled the two of us to walk a few steps to the center of the stone stele, pointed to a gap and said, "Look, there seems to be a beast missing here?" ”
I looked thoughtfully, and found that there was indeed a small gap, which was really not easy to find if I didn't look closely.
At this time, I heard the fat man say: "What does this represent? You wouldn't think someone was bored and drew the eyes of the animals in this gap and ran away, right? ”
The fat man asked jokingly, Li Baqiu nodded very seriously, and for a while no one knew whether to believe the inscription on the stone wall, and finally the two of them looked at me, and the meaning was self-evident, that is: "Yishou, which side are you on?" ”
I scratched my head in embarrassment, and finally looked at the fat man very embarrassed, and said: "What Li Baqiu said is not unreasonable, after all, in such a weird ancient city, it is better to be careful." ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the fat man who was still unhappy grinned, "Hehe, I actually think so too." ”
Eventually, everyone smiled at each other and skipped the topic, but the ensuing question made the three of us uneasy.
It turns out that there is not only a gap on the stone wall pointed out by Li Baqiu, but there are five gaps on a closer look, and there are large and small between them.
We all speculated for a while whether these five paintings were eyed thousands of years ago or were they recent? After all, their existence is likely to increase the difficulty of our next search for the Nine Dragon Wall, and the anxious sea fat man almost listed all the animals he knew in his life.
"There's a tiger, there's a leopard, there's a black bear... Eh, do you think there will be dinosaurs on it..."
The fat man of the sea was posted on the map of a hundred beasts and muttered alone, but Li Baqiu and I were discussing what to do next? The situation is getting more and more complicated, and it is impossible to imagine that there are five wild beasts rampant in the whole palace.
After discussing for a while, the two of us came to the side of the fat man who was still muttering. At this time, he was still thinking that there were no dinosaurs on it, and Li Baqiu couldn't help but quip: "Oh, if this dinosaur is on it, wouldn't the person who painted the painting master the high technology and know the events of hundreds of millions of years ago, and he could still pick up the Qin Shi Huang to destroy the Six Kingdoms." ”
The fat man felt reasonable, but still had concerns, until I beckoned him to start going up the stairs, and then put the mystery aside for the time being.
