Chapter 38: Xuantong's Past, Hidden History
The five archaeologists looked at the mural with a look of surprise.
"Could the figure on this mural be Xuantong?"
"It's possible, but it's hard to say yet, and there's so little information we can get from this mural."
"I think this mural is definitely very closely related, if not Xuantong. Otherwise, this mural would not have appeared here, but this style of painting is a bit strange. ”
"He said he was a Taoist, but he didn't look like it, but he looked like an ancient ranger. But if you are not a Taoist priest, why do you wear Taoist robes? ”
"It's not important, there wasn't such a strict dress code in ancient times. Some princes and nobles also liked to wear the costumes of Taoist priests and monks. ”
"It's not clear who this person is, but these two murals allow us to confirm at least a little bit."
"There's a lot of information to explore in the Demon Suppression Tower."
"Captain, what do you think?"
Mu Yang stared at the long sword on the character's shoulder, and pondered: "The style of this sword is a little strange. ”
"Based on the size of the mural, we can roughly guess that it should have been painted in a one-to-one ratio. And this sword is very interesting, the length is difficult to speculate, but the width should be twelve to fifteen centimeters, and the shape is also significantly different from the traditional long sword in ancient China. ”
The others also looked at the sword on the mural.
The sword is blood-red.
Different blood-like blood red.
It's like crystal!
I don't know what kind of paint the painter used, but the sword looks like it's forged from crystal.
It was as if a flame was burning within, and as if blood were about to flow out of it.
The sword is very wide, different from the traditional long sword shape, but like Yang Guo's Xuantie heavy sword!
"It's a little strange, I don't know what kind of paint is used for painting, but this material is obviously different."
"Yes, the long sword on this painting actually feels like it is carved from crystal, it's amazing."
When the five archaeological experts were discussing, the people eating melons on the Internet were even more excited.
"Oh ho, I finally saw Xuantong's back."
"It's not necessarily Xuantong, but I feel like it's pretty much the same, hahaha."
"Handsome, just this background, absolutely amazing."
"Yes, there is an indescribable freedom, just like a chivalrous prodigal son in the rivers and lakes."
"Chic, comfortable, this is the real chivalrous man in my mind."
"Ha, let's not be in a hurry to discuss whether it's Xuantong or not, hasn't anyone noticed the sword he is carrying on his shoulder?"
"Is there something wrong with that sword?"
"There is a big problem, from the style of this mural, it is obviously different from traditional Chinese painting, and it is a Western realistic style."
"If it's a realistic style, it means that the sword this person is carrying should be a real weapon."
"But if you look closely at this sword, it looks like it is forged from crystal, and the body of the sword is like a flame burning, and it seems to be flowing blood, have you ever seen a long sword like this?"
"This, although the appearance of the long sword doesn't look like the real thing, no one said it had to be real."
"Theoretically, there is no problem with this sword."
Because it is not excluded that the painter wants to increase the temperament of the character and add small objects independently. But, have you forgotten something? ”
"The Demon Suppression Tower is an ordinary thing, is Xuantong an ordinary person?"
"By the will of the Son of Heaven, the minister Basba built an eighteen-story demon suppression tower here, and invited the gods and Buddhas to sit in the pagoda, so that the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals would guard the eighteen-story pass, and the evil demons would be suppressed forever and could not be resurrected. This demon is cruel and tyrannical, cannibalistic and blood-drinking, devours souls, and kills more than 10,000 people loyal to my Great Yuan, and has the power of gods and ghosts. Even if he dies, his body is invulnerable, and it is difficult to invade by fire and water, and it is inhuman. ”
"Look, this is a translation from an epitaph."
"Tsk, we don't know if Xuantong is cruel and tyrannical, but cannibalism drinks blood and devours souls. Look at this sword again, as if it had just been soaked in blood. ”
"Damn, if you look at it this way, it's really too similar."
"Mom, does this sword really exist, or is it Xuantong's weapon?"
"Ahh
The five archaeologists stood in front of the mural and studied it carefully, and then walked to the next floor with excitement and excitement.
Walk up the stairs to the third floor.
This floor is a little larger than the one above.
Unlike the figurines above, this is a luxurious palace.
Strips of drapery hang down from the roof, half-hidden.
Mysterious.
Hazy.
In the center of the main hall there are eighteen exquisite statues of maids.
These maids are all lifelike porcelain statues, wearing bright and beautiful colorful clothes, all of them have thousands of manners, or enchanting and charming, or pure and lovely, or amorous, or dignified atmosphere, or small jasper.
For a while, it was as if I had come to the daughter country, which made people forget to return.
All five of them looked surprised.
The furnishings on this floor are vastly different from the previous floor.
They thought it would be a murderous atmosphere, but they didn't expect it to be such extravagant.
"It's strange, the style here is too far from the above."
"Yes, it stands to reason that this place shouldn't be solemn, how can you ........?"
"Could it be that the Yuan Dynasty wants to confuse Xuantong with beauty?"
"Hah....... No way. ”
"It's not impossible."
Mu Yang looked around thoughtfully, and admonished: "We can discuss this issue later, and see if there are other murals nearby, or other things that can provide information." ”
A few people nodded yes and began to look for something like a mural.
Soon, the frescoes were spotted on the left and right sides.
The two murals are different.
One is a rural scene, recording the lives of the common people.
One is the scene of the march of the army, recording the various marches of the army.
The five of them studied for a while, and continued to walk down, coming to the fourth floor.
On this floor, the style is different.
It's like a treasure trove!
Gold, silver, jewelry, porcelain and antiques are piled up like a hill!
In the center of the main hall are six shelves, which are full of various treasures.
Jadeite.
Coral.
Pearl.
Jewel.
The whole nine yards!
As far as the eye can see, thousands.
This huge treasure made all five of them stunned for a moment.
However, they soon thought of their mission, and instead of focusing on the curiosities, they began to look for other murals.
It's not that they don't like it, it's that they're afraid they won't be able to resist the temptation!
The murals on the fourth floor are different.
One is the scene of the army plundering the people.
The village was mercilessly engulfed by the flames, and the ground was littered with the corpses of civilians and scattered soldiers.
The living people were driven together like cattle.
Through the murals, you can even see the panic and panic on the faces of the people.
This mural is completely connected to the previous ones.
Everyone has already made up the story.
The armies of the Yuan Dynasty plundered the people and waged war.
But they still don't understand what this has to do with Xuan Tong and what it has to do with this Demon Suppression Tower.
Puzzled, the group came to another mural.
This time, everyone was stunned again.
One man, one sword.
The white clothes are like snow, and the black hair is flying.
He stopped at the top of the mountain, revealing half of his grim side face, his expression was extremely solemn, and his eyes were full of intense anger and murderous intent!
