Died mysteriously in a dream?

This made Zhang Xuan even more interested.

If this group of people is suicidal, then it can also be explained by [hint], for example, this painting can arouse people's thoughts of suicide and make them commit suicide.

It's not impossible.

In fact, this kind of thing has not never existed, for example, in modern society, there was a famous forbidden song [Black Friday] that did this kind of thing.

In the 13 years of Black Friday's existence, hundreds of people have committed suicide.

The suicide note left by the suicide victim said that he committed suicide because he could not bear the melody of great sadness. The author repented deeply before he died, and he himself did not expect that this song would kill so many people, so he joined forces with European countries to destroy this song.

This is one of the three banned songs recognized in the world.

The other two forbidden areas are [Thirteenth Pair of Eyes] and [Confession]

The song is about a woman who chooses to commit suicide in despair after being betrayed by her husband, and the scene she describes is magical and negative, it is the scene of death in her imagination, and this scene is eerie and terrifying.

Those who heard it sensed despair and committed suicide.

As for the "Thirteenth Pair of Eyes", which is said to have originated from the primitive tribes of Africa, it is a mysterious music, and the composer's creative intentions are no longer traceable.

It is said that in the mid-20th century, a tribesman in Cameroon committed mass suicide after listening to this song, and for this reason, the song was banned from being sung, and the officials jointly destroyed all the manuscript scores in the collection, but a small part of the score still survived.

Later, around 1991, a well-known musician secretly bought and collected it, went home and played and sang to himself, listened to the only remaining piece of music, tore off the score in his hand, and jumped out of the window.

Since then, all news related to the thirteenth pair of eyes has completely disappeared with the extinction of the score.

According to modern scientific explanations, these three forbidden areas are likely to evoke sadness and despair in the hearts of human beings, and resonate, so everyone who hears them will have suicidal tendencies.

To put it bluntly, this is a hint that is extremely strong.

At first, when Zhang Dehuai told Zhang Xuan that this was a picture that would kill people, Zhang Xuan thought that this picture was the same as the three forbidden songs, and the painter had developed a very gloomy expression technique, showing his despair on the painting, and then watching the resonance, thus making them commit suicide.

But as it turned out, he was overthinking. The mysterious death in the dream proves that Zhang Xuan's guess just now is wrong, because it is impossible for human beings to commit suicide in a dream, which even Zhang Xuan himself can't do.

"Is this picture still in the palace?" asked Zhang Xuan.

After the beating just now, Zhang Dehuai didn't dare to lie, nodded and said: "This picture is indeed still in the palace." ”

"Where?"

"Right here. Zhang Dehuai said.

Zhang Xuan glanced around at this small treasure house, and didn't see any paintings, they should have been hidden, so he said, "Take it out and let me see it." ”

"Your Majesty. Zhang Dehuai knelt down with a plop, kowtowed, and said: "Your Majesty, this painting is an ominous work, Your Majesty is a golden body, you must think twice." ”

It seems that he is really unwilling to hand over the painting to Zhang Xuan, and he begged hard.

Zhang Xuan understood his thoughts, he handed over this ominous thing to himself, in case he died, wouldn't he turn over the crime of killing the king?

So Zhang Dehuai was unwilling, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging bitterly.

Zhang Xuan was a little impatient, so he simply read the other party's memory and found the hidden location of the painting.

He walked over to a shelf, pushed it, and the shelf made a clicking sound, revealing the wall behind it, and then, under Zhang Dehuai's surprised gaze, he knocked on the wall a few times.

Click!

The dust on the wall fell, revealing a thin crack dozens of centimeters long, Zhang Xuan buttoned open the crack, and it turned out to be a secret door, and inside the secret door, a rectangular box was placed.

The box was made of unknown wood, which did not look like a precious wood, and the tail was scorched.

However, Zhang Xuan just looked at Zhang Dehuai's memory and knew that this was not ordinary wood.

This is...... Lightning strikes wood.

In ancient times, people generally believed that the lightning wood was split by the thunder and lightning of the heavens, and the ghosts feared it, and it was the most powerful magic object to ward off evil.

Use lightning strike wood to seal this hoodoo?

Interesting.

Zhang Dehuai looked at the box in Zhang Xuan's hand in disbelief, looking confused, he really didn't know how His Majesty knew where the secret door was, and how did he know the method of opening the secret door.

It's not scientific.

This kind of thing should be freely known by oneself, and it is still passed on by word of mouth, passed on to the treasury manager of the previous generation, and he has not had time to pass it on to the treasure trove manager of the next generation.

Why, why would His Majesty know?

Zhang Xuan opened the box made of lightning strike wood, and there was a painting scroll lying quietly inside.

And this scroll is wrapped in yellow paper.

When Zhang Xuan tore open the paper, he found that it was not ordinary yellow paper at all, and it was full of strange words.

It's a charm.

Zhang Xuan can see at a glance that this is the ghost painting symbol called superstition in modern society.

The ancients were really good at playing, and they actually wrapped this painting with a charm, and sealed it with lightning strikes wood, so it is difficult to really treat this painting as something evil.

"Your Majesty, think twice. ”

Seeing that Zhang Xuan seemed to be about to open the painting, Zhang Dehuai on the side couldn't care about being confused, and immediately pounced, hugged Zhang Xuan's thigh, and begged Zhang Xuan not to open the painting.

How timid does this guy have to be, or is this painting really weird?

But even if it is really weird, Zhang Xuan is not afraid, after all, he still has more than 4,000 game coins as a backstage, even if there is really any problem, it can be corrected.

What's more, he was very curious about this painting and wanted to find out if it was a good thing in the mouth of the lion man.

So Zhang Xuan ignored Zhang Dehuai's persuasion and insisted on opening the painting.

For a while, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but be stunned.

"Uh...... This is the hoodoo you are talking about?" Zhang Xuan shook off the picture scroll and let Zhang Dehuai take a look.

Zhang Dehuai actually hasn't seen this painting either, but now that he sees it, he can't help but feel a little confused, "This ...... This...... The slave didn't know much either. ”

Because the painting is just a blank sheet of paper, and there is nothing on it.

Zhang Xuan always thought that this was a picture of hell or a fierce ghost, or something that could make people depressed, but what the hell is a blank piece of paper?

Yellow paper charms, lightning strikes wood, so solemnly seal a blank piece of paper?Is it the ancients crazy, or is it ...... There's something you don't know. This kind of sassy operation, I can't play it myself.

Zhang Xuan thinks that it is unlikely that the ancients will go crazy, so the second possibility is relatively large, this is not a simple blank paper, what should be hidden, as long as it is under special circumstances, it can be revealed.

Chemistry, don't think that only modern people understand, in fact, many ancient people played quite slippery, otherwise how was gunpowder invented?

Zhang Xuan said: "Zhang Dehuai, you go and fetch a basin of water." ”

Although Zhang Dehuai was reluctant in every way, he still did not dare to disobey Zhang Xuan's order, and soon ordered someone to call a basin of cold water.

Zhang Xuan wet his fingers and smeared a few times on the white paper scroll, but nothing was revealed.

Obviously, this path will not work.

So Zhang Xuan thought about it, put the white paper scroll on the candle fire, and carefully dried it, but there was nothing either.

If it is useless to burn fire and flood...... Could it be blood?

Zhang Xuan picked up a dagger in the treasure house that was as sharp as clay, and wanted to bleed, but was stopped by Zhang Dehuai, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here." ”

"I'll try it with blood. ”

"Then use the blood of the slaves. Zhang Dehuai didn't say a word, snatched the dagger from Zhang Xuan's hand, carefully cut a wound on his finger, dripped out a few drops of blood, and landed on the white paper scroll.

Sadly, nothing happened again.

Zhang Xuan was very disappointed.

Zhang Dehuai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, there was nothing unusual about this painting, it was really good that it was a blank piece of paper, at least he didn't need to be charged with killing the emperor.

When His Majesty was gone, he burned the painting completely.

Anyway, it's a blank piece of paper, and I believe that Your Majesty will not blame yourself.

Zhang Xuan watched it for a while, and found that nothing had changed in the picture scroll, so he couldn't help sighing, it was useless to burn the water, and the blood, and he didn't have any tricks, after all, he was just these three axes, and there would be no more after the cast.

Could it be that this is really a blank slate?

What kind of murderous paintings are made up by Zhang Dehuai, it's impossible, he just read Zhang Dehuai's memory and knows that Zhang Dehuai didn't deceive himself.

Indeed, many people died because of this picture. And this picture was personally ordered by Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian to find someone to seal it, but that was more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, when the treasurer of the previous generation counted the treasures of the treasury, he found this painting from the treasure house, and died not long after, and many people did not know what was going on at that time, because the other party died mysteriously in a dream, and there was no wound on his body, neither like illness, nor the end of his life.

This incident attracted the attention of many people, and Emperor Wen of Sui ordered someone to investigate this matter, and as a result, many people died one after another, exactly the same as the cause of death of the head of the treasure house, which added a few strange and mysterious things to this matter.

Later, it was discovered that the dozen or so people had stayed in front of a painting for a long time, and it was likely that they had died because of the painting.

Of course, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian didn't believe this, so he found someone to do experiments and let him look at paintings.

Soon after, the man died unexpectedly, mysteriously in his dream.

Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian believed it and ordered several Taoist priests to enter the palace and seal the painting.

The previous generation of directors placed this painting in the secret compartment of the treasure house and handed it over to Zhang Dehuai, the head of this generation.
