Chapter 178: The Mural
Lin Zi and Ah Xin led the way, Yu Qing sat in the center, and Xiang Liangyin and I slowly followed behind them, speaking of which, I was the weakest two among these people.
If there is any danger to them, we are a burden to them, so we are wise to follow them, so that it is easier for them to escape.
But we fumbled in the darkness for a long time, but nothing happened, yes! It was in the dark, perhaps because the hole they had pried open in the woods was not in a good position, so there was not a trace of light shining in.
I don't know if the grave keeper is lazy, obviously the tunnels outside are covered with oil lamps, but there is not even a lamp in this palace, and they grope their way forward, trying to go to a place where there may be candles, but there is nothing.
Fortunately, I have a flashlight in my bag, so I can use it for a while, but this must be for Lin Zi to give them, after all, we only need to follow them, they need light very much to open the way.
This is because we are not well prepared, although Lin Zi and they know that they need to prepare flashlights, but they came easily and thought that we would all have them, so they did not bring them, which caused the current embarrassing situation.
"Be careful, huh?"
Following the forest and them, we really didn't encounter any danger, after all, they were experienced, so they were quite easy to deal with, but it didn't take long for the forest to stop and look down at the ground.
Looking at the glimmer of the flashlight, it seemed to be some kind of liquid, and it looked a little greasy, Ah Xin squatted down and Lin Zi gave him a flashlight, he stretched out his hand and dipped the liquid and raised it to his nose to smell it.
"It seems to be...... Grease? ”
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed the ground hard, and his face changed: "It's sunken!" There are grooves here! ”
As he spoke, Lin Zi slowly moved along the groove with the flashlight, and we were surprised to find that there was more than this, it can be said that the grease and grooves could be seen everywhere the weak light of the flashlight went.
"Is there a fire?"
Yu Qing suddenly opened his mouth to Lin Zi and they took fire, and the people who came out to beg for a living naturally smoked to relieve their fatigue, but it was inconvenient for them to smoke in this underground palace, Lin Zi took out a lighter from his pocket and handed it to Yu Qing.
I saw Yu Qing walking to the place where Ah Xin was squatting, and was about to light the grease with a lighter, I hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "I don't know how much grease there is, will it explode?" ”
She had already lit the fire and threw it into the grease, seeing that I was worried and turned around with a smile and shook her head: "There are grooves, don't worry!" ”
As soon as we let go of the lighter, it fell into the grease, and after a moment of silence, we looked at the faint flame that was still burning, and we don't know where the wind came from, and the flame seemed to be about to be blown out, but after a moment it broke out!
"Boom!"
The flame melted with the grease water*, and this faint flame spread along the groove like a fish in water, and then slowly lit up the whole palace along the groove that extended in all directions!
"This ...... Isn't that spectacular? ”
Watching the flames spread slowly from the ground to the walls like a fire dragon, and then swirling upwards along the grooves in the walls, the originally dark palace became as bright as day in an instant!
We looked excitedly at the decoration of the palace, which had been in the dark all the time, and we couldn't see anything, but now we could see the true face of this magnificent palace!
It is not much different from the gorgeous palace that was built with hundreds of millions of special effects in film and television dramas, and there are dozens of steps in front of the main hall, and above the steps are the golden chairs carved with dragons and phoenixes, and there are four jade pillars standing under the steps, which are really no different from the palaces of those prosperous dynasties!
If you insist on saying anything different, it is that the palace in front of us brings us a more real feeling, and the film and television dramas are always the imagination of future generations, but the palace in front of us really brings us a feeling of shocking the sky!
"A palace of this magnitude can be built in a thousand years? Or is it underground? ”
I really don't know what to say, but I'm surprised at how powerful the wisdom of the predecessors is, after all, this tomb should have been officially rebuilt after the fall of the ancient Liang Kingdom, so how much manpower could be used at that time?
A thousand years is a long time, it is not a long time, it is fleeting, at most it is a family of twenty generations, even if it is a family that has worked day and night for generations, it may not be able to build such a magnificent palace.
"Come and see! What is it? ”
I don't know when Xiang Liangyin ran to the heel of a wall in the palace, raised his head and pointed to the wall, this wall happened to have no grooves attached to the grease, so it looked a little dull, and we couldn't see what was on it when we stood farther away.
Slowly approaching, standing in a place where the whole wall could be taken into the eyes, Xiang Liangyin pointed to a mural, a beautiful woman in a strange costume was looking down at a book.
He really saw other places from that position, so he leaned closer to us, and my attention was already drawn to the wall of murals, and I didn't even notice that he was standing next to me and staring at me intently.
"What are these murals painted on?"
Although Lin Zi and Ah Xin's strength and professional skills are excellent, their cultural level is really not high, and it is no wonder that they can't understand these murals, even I can only see a rough idea, but Yu Qing specializes in cultural history, so he can naturally interpret them easily.
"This mural depicts the daughter of a rich and noble family, who is good at poetry, books, piano and chess, gentle and virtuous, but she falls in love with a poor talent...... Later, when the poor Xiucai came back and wanted to marry her, he found that she had already been promised by her father to a wealthy foreign family......"
Yu Qing said something intermittently, but this is also because some places of the mural have been blurred, it should be because of the dampness underground, so some light-colored places have long been unable to see what is being said.
However, through her description, I can probably make up a poignant love story in my brain, and I have heard too much about similar love and love, and I immediately lost interest in this mural.
On the contrary, it is a little strange how Yu Qing said that the woman was promised by his father to a foreigner? Could it be that a thousand years ago a foreigner came to our land?
However, the mural here obviously did not finish telling their story, as for the rest of the natural real wall opposite, Yu Qing couldn't wait to run over, and a few of us hurriedly followed, I don't know if there is any danger in the palace, everyone should try to hold together.
