Section 12 Diagram of the Lantern Festival

We walked along the tomb road all the way forward, and after passing a few burial chambers, we went straight to the main burial chamber!

The floor of this main burial chamber is relatively clean and tidy, and the burial items in the burial chamber are also very well preserved, and it seems that they have not been damaged by tomb robbers, which is unusual for a tomb that has been repeatedly stolen!

I don't know who touched what, but suddenly a white light shone on the top of the main burial chamber, illuminating the colorful murals on the top of the burial chamber clearly!

The ancients made great paintings more famous "Qingming Riverside Map", "Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", "Han Palace Spring Dawn Map", "Hundred Horses Map" and the Eastern Jin Dynasty's "Luo Shen Fu Tu", these are the masterpieces of famous painters, and can also be called a generation of national treasure-level ancient painting classic legends!

But the top of the head depicted on the top of the tomb is a more huge ancient Song painting, the entire radius of 10 meters of the top of the tomb is full of colorful patterns, the architectural figures on it and the flowers on those lanterns are clearly visible, it can be called the top work of ancient painting and writing!

In the middle of the painting, that is, the highest position of the dome of the tomb, it is a ribbon hanging on the long bridge, on which are written the words "Wanmin Lantern Festival"! Obviously, this is the name of this huge painting, in order to write the name of the painting, a ribbon was deliberately drawn on the long bridge, this ribbon is hung at both ends of the long bridge, and it can show the festive scene, and the whole painting is perfectly integrated, and there is no feeling of painting snakes at all!

Chen Liang is engaged in historical research, and he has little research on words and art, but after reading it, he also exclaimed: "My God, the world only knows the majesty of the Qingming Riverside Map, but compared to the mural in front of him, what is the Qingming Riverside Map!"

I pointed to the mural above my head and said, "Don't turn on the lights, this tomb is lit with natural light, but don't spoil the color of the painting! Twenty of you are divided into four teams, divided into four areas at the intersection of the painting, and count how many people, lanterns, horses, bridges, and buildings are depicted in the painting! Don't count wrong!

Then I put a high-resolution camera on the coffin in the center of the burial chamber, turned off the flash, and used the natural light from the top of the burial chamber to take more than a dozen ultra-high-definition large-resolution photos repeatedly!

The team members sat on the floor of the burial chamber and began to count with their heads up. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Liang asked puzzledly: "Brother Xiao, this picture of the Lantern Festival of the Ten Thousand People, you see that person is so small, naturally there are 10,000 people, is it necessary to count them one by one?"

I replied: "This is the most significant treasure for this tomb visit, and we must study it carefully, and there must be no negligence! I have taken more than a dozen ultra-high-resolution photos with a digital camera, and then I will use the computer to carefully compare them, and there can be no mistake in the number!"

After speaking, I pointed to the mural above my head and said: "I don't know what mechanism is used to illuminate the top, everything here must be preserved as it is, and a layer of glass will be placed on the top of the tomb in the future, and the mural on the top of the tomb will be directly available for tourists to enjoy!"

Chen Liang nodded, and then continued to observe the mural above his head!

I also took out a piece of plastic sheeting and spread it on the steps in front of the coffin, and then lay on the steps with my head up, looking seriously at the huge words of the Wanmin Lantern Festival above my head.

I have always had a strong interest in the study of ancient culture and art, and the value that can be created in this field is far higher than that of those ancient cultural relics and vessels! This huge painting in front of me depicts all the prosperous scenes of the Northern Song Dynasty, just like a real photo, which makes people feel the festive atmosphere in the city at that time.

I was fascinated by it, and was about to start a closer study from the middle position, when suddenly a wave of qi appeared on the screen, and then the whole picture trembled violently, and a surprising scene began to appear, and all the living creatures in the picture instantly moved, as if they were movie shots.

I was so startled that I immediately got up and sat up, when the team members let out a cry of horror: "Oh my God, it's moving, it's moving! Look, look at the man walking, and the water in the river is flowing slowly, oh my God, what's going on!"

I stood up with a swoop, looked up at the dynamic ancient tale above my head, and there was a bustling noise in the picture, although the sound was not particularly loud, but I could feel the lively scene in the picture!

Chen Liang ran over in horror and asked incomprehensibly: "Brother Xiao, this is too weird! Look at this painting, it was originally a static ancient painting, but now not only is it moving, but there is also a corresponding sound, just like Nima and a movie theater! We can't be evil, right?"

When I heard this, I immediately rebuked him and said, "Don't talk nonsense, are you also evil?" Don't forget that I know how to resist souls!"

Even so, I immediately turned around and secretly recited a word of soul rehoming to myself, but when I looked up at the top of the tomb again, the picture was still dynamic, and the sound of joy in the painting continued, obviously this was not a witchcraft, it should be a mechanism similar to that in the Rogage!

I had to say to everyone: "Forget it, don't count, I can't count it like this, anyway, I've already taken a picture! That Chen Liang, you arrange for someone to take a video with a dull camera and save it and take it back! The rest of the people check the surrounding area of the tomb, clean up the debris in the main tomb, and let me study it carefully!"

Everyone was busy while I sat down to study this strange picture of the lantern festival!

After a long time, Wen Yuan came over and sat next to me, and asked curiously, "Uncle, you have been watching here for a long time, do you have any new discoveries?"

I continued to lie on the steps, stretched out my finger and pointed to the picture above my head and said, "Wen Yuan, look at this huge picture, take a closer look at these neat roads and streets in the picture, it doesn't look like a huge gossip map!"

Wen Yuan leaned on my elbow, looked back at the top of his head for a while, then nodded and said, "Well, it's true, it's indeed a gossip map! Hey, uncle, do you think the layout of this ancient city is a real scene, or is it imagined by the owner of the tomb himself?"

I smiled and said, "Where in ancient times would there be such a neat and orderly layout, just like what the computer draws, most of it is fiction!"

Wen Yuan frowned and asked, "Why? That's not necessarily, maybe there were people in ancient times who would build streets and roads based on gossip maps!"

I stretched out my hand and pointed to the rightmost corner and said: "The distribution of this ancient city is very regular, and the characters between several major areas are distinct, and there is no chaos between each other, how can there be such a strict arrangement in the real society! Look at the position next to the moon in the upper right corner, such a prosperous big city, why is there no house in this corner, it is all woods and meadows! What is even more strange is that there are so many beasts on the ground, even wild boars and wolves, but there are no people! Could it be that the ancients were popular to go on safaris in the city? It's unlikely, right?"

Wen Yuan looked at it for a while and nodded and said, "Well, really, I think it's strange when you say that, what does this mean?"

I pointed to the picture and asked, "Look, the place where these beasts stay is actually divided into nine small areas, and the scene in each area is almost the same! Look at the area in the lower corner of the right diagonally, these large courtyards are surrounded by a circle, and there are only servants and house slaves putting lanterns in them, but there is not a single master, and it happens to be nine large courtyards!"

Wen Yuan looked at it seriously for a while, then suddenly got up and said, "Yes, it's really exactly nine small areas! Wait, wait, I'll count!"

At my prompting, Wen Yuan stretched out his fingers and began to count in the picture, and finally he looked at me in surprise and said: "Hello, uncle, this whole picture of the middle market, except for the pedestrians, cars and horses on the road are exactly the same, the things in this area are exactly divided into nine large pieces, each of which is very similar, and there are nine different large courtyards, and the courtyards are full of the same people!

I reached out and took out a pen and paper from my backpack, and wrote down on the paper as I read it: "I'll write it down first! Nine beasts, nine courtyards for worshipping the heavens, nine courtyards for domestic slaves, and nine official residences with drawings of generals and soldiers......

After writing down the nine districts of the last bazaar in the middle, I looked at these pies with Wen Yuan, as if each one could not do without nine!

At first, we couldn't understand it, but after reading it for a while, the story in the parchment scroll suddenly flashed in my head, that is, the story of the Great Wizard IX as a beast and the IX as a witch!

I said to Wen Yuan in surprise: "Wen Yuan, don't you look at these scenes in the painting, aren't they the reincarnation of the great wizard?"

Wen Yuan asked incomprehensibly: "Isn't this just an ancient living painting, how can it be related to the reincarnation of the great wizard!"

I used my pen to point to the nine beast areas on the paper, then turned to the picture above me and said: "Look at Wen Yuan, there are nine kinds of beast areas in the picture, according to the order of arrangement, there are sheep, deer, eagle, rabbit, dog, chicken, cow, pig and wolf!

Wen Yuan stretched out his hand in surprise and tapped at the picture and read: "The sheep bleat, the deer jumps, the eagle flies, and the rabbit runs...... Yo, the last one is a pack of wolves!

Then he pointed to the picture and continued: "Look at the area below this beast, the nine courtyards are all worshipping to the sky, and they are clearly the mansions of nine witchcraft! And then these domestic servants and slaves, as well as those who do hard work, also happen to be nine courtyards, and there are only slaves and no masters in each courtyard! There are also the mansions of these generals directly below, which are also exactly nine, and each courtyard is full of officers and soldiers who are putting lanterns! These just express the nine generations of the great wizard as beasts, the ninth as witches, the nine generations as slaves, and the nine generations as generals! We don't know who the Great Wizard will be reincarnated in the future, and the tomb of the Great Wizard's later generations has not yet been discovered! But from this painting, we can see that the later reincarnation of the Great Wizard should be, the ninth world of medicine, the ninth generation of Kou, the ninth generation of cultivation, the ninth generation of officials, and the merchant area of the nine major markets in the middle, this should be the reincarnation of the ninth world of the Great Wizard!"

After hearing this, Wen Yuan got up and stood up, looked at the top of his head and replied: "Oh, uncle, you are so smart, you look at it so carefully! I didn't expect this huge picture to hide such a mystery, I thought it was the scene of a prosperous city in the Song Dynasty during the festival, but I didn't expect this to be a picture describing the reincarnation of the great wizard 9981!"

I frowned and thought for a while and said, "If you calculate according to the average age of the ancients, if you live an average of forty years in a lifetime, that is more than 3,000 years! Counting the waiting time when the Great Wizard was a revenant, it is almost the time from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present!"

Wen Yuan shook his head and said, "No! The first time a great wizard became a wizard was during the Three Emperors period, and the last wizard was in the early Western Zhou Dynasty! From the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the Western Zhou Dynasty, it spanned more than 3,000 years, why did the great wizards be reincarnated as wizards for such a long time?"

I nodded, and replied, "Well, the Great Wizard IX mentioned that valley repeatedly when he was a beast, but after his reincarnation as a beast, when he finally returned to the valley as a wolf, the valley had already undergone earth-shaking changes, and it is estimated that the period of time experienced during this period was even longer! At that time, there was no influence of human activities, how could there be such a big change, it must have gone up and down for thousands of years, caused by the evolution of the earth's crust in nature! As for why the first two rounds of the ninth reincarnation of the great wizard were so long, I don't know the specifics, it may be because the reincarnation of fate needs a long time to adjust at that time! At that time, no one gave the deceased a superordinate, and who knows how long the dead soul will have to wait before they have the opportunity to reincarnate again!"

Wen Yuan nodded, then he broke his fingers and counted it, and asked me again: "No, uncle, you see this is the ninth generation, in the tomb of Weiqing in the Western Han Dynasty, we found the traces of the great wizard, that is the last life of his ninth general! At that time, it was close to the year 0 AD, and then there were five reincarnations of the ninth generation? There are forty-five lifetimes in each fifty-nine life, and each life must have 1,800 years according to the age of forty, not counting the waiting time for reincarnation!" Even if the average age is only 30 years old, it must be at least more than 1,300 years!"

I didn't think about it, but I was so happy that I found it, and I casually asked, "yes, what?"

Wen Yuan seemed very excited, he approached me in surprise and asked, "Uncle, don't they all say that the Great Wizard has been annihilated more than a thousand years ago?" But according to the plot described in the picture, the Great Wizard should have the fate of nine rounds and nine lifetimes of reincarnation, so the Great Wizard should not have ended the reincarnation so early!" I wonder if the reincarnation of the Great Wizard has continued until now, uncle, if you think about it, according to the average lifespan of forty years, it is more than 1,800 years, plus the time of waiting for reincarnation, it is completely possible to return to the present of 2,000 years!"

Wen Yuan's words woke me up suddenly, I hurriedly raised the note in my hand, looked at the reincarnation of the next few lives, and began to calculate quickly in my mind!

Suddenly I thought of something, I got up and looked at the coffin behind me, stretched out my finger and pointed to the coffin and asked: "Wen Yuan, isn't this the tomb of a great official in the Song Dynasty, how can there be a great wizard's fateful reincarnation diagram, is this also a great wizard?"

Wen Yuan nodded vigorously and said, "It's completely possible!"

I was very puzzled and said: "If it is a great wizard, he will also return to the ninth world as an official at most, and this is what is going on with the merchant in the future, he should not have reached the ninth world in the future, why is it drawn in the picture?"

After saying that, Wen Yuan and I looked up at the picture on the top of the tomb again, which made us fall into confusion again!
