Chapter 233: Sacrifice
What is recorded in the mural seems to be an ancient sacrificial scene.
A tall man in armor, holding a battle axe, raised his head to the sky and roared.
Next to him were men with bare arms, tying men with countless chains, and a group of people dressed as Taoist priests, holding charms and copper coin swords, fighting with tall men.
In the lower left corner of the mural, twelve characters are written.
Black water day, white sand.
The ghosts wept in panic, but the people were silent.
Zhao Mengfu said with some annoyance: "I heard from the master before that this mural contains a treasure about Happy Valley, and once you get it, you may become an immortal."
"It's a pity that I've been researching for so long, but I haven't been able to figure out why."
I said, "You're a monk halfway through, you're not from the Xuanmen, so it's normal not to understand the special meaning in the mural."
"Judging from the style of the murals, it should be a work of the late Qing Dynasty, with a high quality of chisel axes and saws, and relatively delicate and soft lines."
"In the late Qing Dynasty, I liked to use purple, black, and yellow to represent good, and red and green to represent evil."
"Judging from the length unit, this armored man is about two meters and a half tall, and he is a big woman who has done a lot of evil, and is being punished by the villagers and Taoists."
"Later, the wicked were punished, and people left murals to commemorate this event."
Zhao Mengfu was surprised, "What has been bothering me for so long, you can understand what's going on at a glance, it's amazing!"
"But this mural has no ending, how do you know that the wicked have been punished?"
I couldn't help but be disdainful, "Are you stupid? If the wicked win, they will definitely kill all these people, how can they leave a mural."
Zhao Mengfu stuck out his tongue mischievously, "Oh, what do the remaining twelve words mean?"
I hesitated for a moment, "The first half of the sentence 'Black water sky, white sand, is talking about a place, as for 'ghosts crying in panic, people are silent, I can't figure it out for the time being.'"
Zhao Mengfu's beautiful eyes sparkled, "Brother Qianlong, you are so powerful, you are simply a model of erudition!"
I said indifferently, "Don't be a sycophant, I don't have time to find things with you."
Zhao Mengfu's little face immediately fell, "Brother, you can help, after the matter is completed, the treasure will be half of each of us."
"Don't."
Judging from the degree of dissipation of the fresco's yin power, it would take at least more than three years for Madame Snake to get this thing into the basement.
Mrs. Worm has not had any clues for more than three years, and I guess it will be difficult.
I still have to find the Seven Star Life Renewal Lamp, and I don't have time to play with Zhao Mengfu, a little broom star.
Zhao Mengfu's eyes rolled and said slyly, "If you don't help me, I won't check the map for you!"
"I've been working for Mrs. Snake during this time, and I've been in touch with many archaeologists, so if you miss this village, it's hard to find someone reliable."
Zhao Mengfu's words really scared me.
I really couldn't find anyone else to help other than her. ap.
Seeing that I hesitated, Zhao Mengfu struck while the iron was hot and said, "I promise, I will only delay you for ten days, anyway, if you want to check the location of the map, it is about this time!"
"After ten days, whether you can find the treasure or not, I can be your backup!"
"In the past, no matter where Mrs. Snake went, I was the one who prepared the cars, tools, ships, etc.!"
"With my help in the future, I can save you a lot of effort!"
The conditions proposed by Zhao Mengfu are indeed tempting.
She is exquisite, if she is willing to be my backup team, she can save a lot of trouble.
After much hesitation, I reluctantly agreed.
Zhao Mengfu was so happy that he spun in circles, "Great! Brother Qianlong, what are we going to do first?"
"Go find a hammer, a chisel, and get me a handful of saltpeter, a fine map of the area."
"Okay."
Ten minutes later, Zhao Mengfu found all the items.
I'm holding a hammer
Chisel, smash the patchwork frescoes, mix the crushed stones with saltpeter.
Zhao Mengfu looked at me blankly, "Brother, what are you doing here?"
I ignored it, my fingertips quietly pinched the thunder method, and silently chanted the incantation in my heart.
All gods salute, and serve the thunder.
Insight and wisdom are thorough, and the five Qi are soaring!
Boom –
A thunderbolt slammed on the saltpeter, and the stone powder and saltpeter exploded at the same time, emitting gunsmoke.
"it!"
Zhao Mengfu was so frightened that he covered his face and squatted down, and I took out the compass from my arms and introduced the earth and stone air into the compass.
The compass hand rotates around the next two scales in the southeast direction.
Two-scale ...... The vertical distance is about 120 miles.
I immediately found the map, picked up a red pen and dotted on the map, "Okay, the location of the mural excavation is here."
Zhao Mengfu coughed twice, patted the dust on his body, and said with some resentment in surprise: "Next time there is such a thing, can you remind me first?"
"As much as possible."
I handed the map to Zhao Mengfu, "You go back and study it, how is it more convenient to get there."
I went out of the basement and called Murphy and Sun Mingjin to the living room.
At this moment, Sun Mingjin was already impatient, "Big brother, when will we leave?"
"About ten days from now."
I took out two bottles of pills from my arms, "This is the Quenching Pill refined by the Absolute Dust Seed, which can wash the muscles and cut the marrow and improve the physique of a person."
"Ten of each of you, swallow them before bathing at night, so as to lay the foundation for future cultivation."
"During the time when you went to the tomb, one day consumed more than a year's mental energy, you are too tired, you should have a good rest."
"Ten days later, we're off again."
Murphy vaguely realized something, "Qianlong is going out this time, are you sure you don't want me to follow?"
"I'm going to help Zhao Mengfu find something, not to fight with anyone, you just rest."
At the top of the stairs, Zhao Mengfu ran over happily, "Brother, I found the address!"
"One hundred and twenty miles northwest of the region, there is a village called Zhumayi."
"The last record of this village was fifteen years ago, and because of the difficulty of transportation, there was no record after that."
"After the reform, the outside world is developing too fast, and it is estimated that the people stationed in the horse post are running about the same."
"If we want to go over, we can only ride donkeys, and we can walk wherever we go, and the rest of the way will walk."
I nodded, "Okay, you get ready now, and you're going right away."
Zhao Mengfu slapped his face, "Okay, I just like my brother's cheerfulness."
Zhao Mengfu really has great powers, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, she brought two fat and strong donkeys out of nowhere.
In addition, field supplies are also available.
Sun Mingjin touched the smooth fur of the donkey, "Big brother, the donkey runs so slowly, why don't you ride a horse?"
"Look at your stupid look, you know what a fart!"
Zhao Mengfu's beautiful eyes showed contempt, and he said a little arrogantly: "The horse's hooves are light, and it is easy to fall down and die when running on the mountain."
"Donkeys have heavy hooves, so it's smoother to walk on the mountain, understand?"
Sun Mingjin had a wooden personality, and he was scolded, but he scratched his ears and kept silent.
"Alright, don't bully honest kids."
