Chapter 191, The Wizard in the Painting (2)
"Wizard? Are you sure? ”
After listening to her, I was also surprised, I only heard Jiao Ba say this wizard, but I have never seen anything like it, when I looked at this painting just now, I also thought this man was very weird.
Especially the things he was holding in his hands, when he looked at them, it was obvious that there was an evil coldness, especially the red beads, which were like being soaked in human blood, and they looked uncomfortable all over their bodies.
"Almost, although I am not completely sure, but there are at least eight parts, first of all, the clothes worn by this man, it is closer to the Taoist robe, but it is not exactly the dress of the Taoist priest, it has that feeling of both good and evil, it is a special robe, it should be handed down from a lesser-known sect."
"The second is the thing he is holding in his hand, this is very important, the bead he is holding in his left hand should not be a good thing, I remember that I saw something similar to this bead in a metaphysical book before, it is also blood red, probably symbolizing death, but how to explain it, I don't remember clearly."
"And the Zen staff he holds in his right hand, which is very important, because this Zen staff is 100% made from the whole leg bone of a human being, although I don't know what this thing is for, but I recognize the leg bone of a human being, and this is absolutely not wrong."
"I wonder what normal person would use human leg bones to make a Zen staff, so I think he's more like a wizard, the so-called dark warlock, in short, he gives me the feeling of being very evil." Jenny said it in detail, her eyes were very firm, but her expression was ugly, I didn't expect her to know it well, this woman has a wide range of contacts, and she knows everything.
In fact, her explanation is similar to what I thought before, but I never thought that this Zen staff made of bones would be made of human leg bones.
"Which denomination will it be? This man, it's definitely not that simple, even if he's not a wizard, then he's not a good bird, he's just a crumb, he actually uses human leg bones to make a Zen staff, it's a shame that he can figure it out, and he shamelessly hangs his painting here to commend it, it really fucking makes me sick to watch. I cursed viciously, and the more I looked at the man in the painting, the more angry I felt, it was simply unforgivable.
"Okay, don't scold, save some effort." Jenny patted me on the arm and motioned for me to put out the fire.
I took a deep breath and said, "I didn't mean to scold him on purpose, but I couldn't help it, I just looked at that Zen staff and there was a problem, but I didn't expect it to be made of human leg bones, it's really fucking unlucky, he can't figure it out." ”
"It may be bad luck in our hands, in his hands, it's a magic weapon, okay, let's not think about this, I'm just thinking, you said that these two underground palaces, except for the different characters in this painting, are almost exactly the same in other places, but why are the two coffins all empty? None of them have corpses? What the hell is going on here? Where is this corpse? Jenny's eyes rolled back and forth, as if she was thinking about it.
"Have you ever thought that maybe there is no body in this coffin at all?"
It suddenly occurred to me that maybe the people who were supposed to bury these two dungeons might not have died at all, and if they hadn't died, there would definitely be no corpses in the coffins, but my idea was a bit too extreme, and it wasn't quite common sense.
"No body? How is this possible, since the underground palace has been built, the coffins have been placed, and even their portraits have been hung, how can there be no corpses? "Jenny still doesn't understand what I mean, she should be analyzing it according to normal logic.
"It's simple, I think they're probably still alive, so there's no body in this coffin, do you understand this time?" I said with a calm face and a steady tone.
"Alive? Are they still alive? Zhongyi, are you dreaming, even if I don't know which dynasty this wizard is, but it is obvious that he is definitely not a modern person, and the Ming Dynasty eunuch named Liu Qian, try to ask the Ming Dynasty people, how can they live to this day, is this simply impossible. Jenny sneered, then waved her hand and dismissed my opinion.
"Why can't it be? How many impossible things have happened along the way, but haven't they all happened? What thing can be explained by common sense, by science, right? Besides, this corpse can be transformed into a corpse, so why can't people live forever? I deliberately asked her a rhetorical question, eager to see what she was thinking.
"Zhongyi, I know what you said, but these are two different things, if people live forever, this is against the will of heaven, this is simply an act against heaven, from ancient times to the present, no one can achieve immortality, how can you think of this kind of thing." Jenny looked at me with a very strange look, not with contempt, with that speechless expression.
"Actually, I didn't want to believe it at first, but now that I think about it, I have to believe it, do you know what that doll fruit we ate is?"
I remembered what Jiao Ba said before, this fruit is likely to be a ginseng fruit that has not grown, and when I think of the legend that can live forever, I am not only shocked, but also have a kind of expectation, on this small island, maybe there is a hidden ginseng fruit that grows, but we haven't found it yet.
"I don't know, does that have anything to do with this?" Jenny asked with a puzzled expression.
"It has a lot to do with it" I probably told her everything Jiao Ba told me that day.
When Jenny heard what I said, she also looked shocked, she looked at the painting, pondered it for a moment, and then said, "Hearing you say this, maybe it is really possible, if this person can really live forever, it is simply terrible, then who do you say the person in this painting will be?" ”
"I don't know who he is, it's possible"
As soon as I said this, I suddenly remembered a person, that is, the shriveled and thin old man, I said how to have a sense of déjà vu, it turned out that it was this old man, yes, the first feeling that the man in this painting gave me was that he looked very much like the shriveled old man.
In particular, the clothes he wears are very similar to those worn by the man in this painting, which are all cloak clothes, except that I just don't see him with a Zen staff and blood-red beads in his hands.
But the long hair that was scattered was really a little similar, but the age of the man in the painting didn't match the old man, it was quite a lot, but on second thought, this painting may have been completed hundreds of years ago.
He may have been a little younger at the time, and a few hundred years later, maybe he would have become what he is today, but this is just my personal guess, it was completely based on the first feeling.
"Zhongyi, what's wrong with you?" Jenny asked when she saw that I stopped in the middle of my speech, and she reached out and touched me.
I looked at her and said, "I suspect that the man in this painting is the shriveled and thin mysterious old man." ”
"Huh? Could it be him? Jenny's face turned pale, showing that she was not ordinary in fear.
"I don't know if it's just speculation, I never told you, in fact, that shriveled old man, he followed us all the way from the jungle into this cave, I saw him several times along the way, but I never dared to tell you." I recalled the scenes of seeing the old man these few times, and when I thought of him, I felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
"Oh my God, why don't you say it sooner, he won't be around us, right?" As Jenny spoke, she took the spear in her hand and observed it back and forth, and cold sweat was about to flow out.
"Don't get excited, he shouldn't be here, don't worry, haven't we all checked, don't always scare yourself."
I grabbed her, but I was telling a lie, in fact, how did I know if he was here, that old guy is elusive, more terrifying than a ghost, who knows when he will suddenly appear, but if I don't say that, I'm afraid Jenny's spirit will not be able to stand it.
Jenny gasped a few times and said, "I have never seen that old man, but every time I hear from you, I am very scared in my heart, this desert island is not a place for people to live at all, and you say that he can survive here, how terrible it is." ”
"Yes, not to mention people in this ghost place, animals and plants can't survive, that old man is the first person I saw on this island, and the only one, now that I think about it, there are many places, he has to surpass ordinary people, such as speed, I can't imagine that it is fast, and it can disappear in an instant, which is definitely not something ordinary people can do."
I remembered that when I was talking to Jiao Ba on the shore that day, when I accidentally saw this old man, he disappeared in front of my eyes with lightning speed, and I couldn't even see his movements clearly.
"Oh my God, this is really a big problem, if he is really a wizard who has lived from ancient times to modern times, it will be terrible, if he wants to kill us, we are not his opponents at all, even if it is Jiao Ba, it is estimated that he will not be able to stop him." Jenny's eyes were full of fear, and she was already sweating on her forehead.
I slowly took her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, it's okay, if he wanted to kill us, he should have done it a long time ago, he just followed us along the way, and he didn't hurt us, I don't know what he wanted to do, but I always felt as if he was trying to convey some kind of message to me." ”
