The Trick of Longevity, Paper-cutting Becomes a Spirit

Chapter 392 The last picture

Lu Qian looked at them and said strangely: "Why are you looking at me? I can't say anything."

"hey-hey……"

"Walk."

This time, Linglong took the lead and walked into the dark door.

Inside the door is a long and narrow passage.

At the end of the passage are two rusty bronze doors.

There are obviously many things engraved on the bronze door, and even incomplete handwriting can be vaguely seen. But unfortunately, they have all been peeled off by the years and are so dilapidated that their original appearance cannot be seen at all.

Pushing open the heavy bronze door, soft light shines from behind the door.

Looking inside, there is a huge rotunda hall.

There are many crystal clear trees "growing" on the ground. These trees seem to be made entirely of gems. The trees emit soft light, illuminating the hall and making it look strange.

The high dome, like an inverted giant bowl, completely covers the entire circular hall.

The four walls of the "Giant Bowl" are all covered with bright colors, just like a huge painted mural.

Lu Qian did not look at the murals above, but looked at the hall.

The hall was very huge, far larger than any room Lu Qian had ever seen before.

The entire hall is a standard circle, a huge hall, but very empty.

In the center of the hall is a huge circular pool. This pool occupies four-fifths of the hall, like a small lake.

In the pool, there are two islands formed by stone platforms.

One of the large stone platforms is located in the center of the pool, with a large coffin placed on the flat stone platform.

Obviously, this is the main tomb chamber.

And this coffin should be the coffin of the tomb owner.

Apart from the big island in the center, there is another smaller stone platform island about seven or eight feet away.

This Shitai Island is not only smaller than the central island, but also sits lower above the water.

On the flat stone platform, there was also a smaller coffin.

The large coffin is the color of black gold, with a dull luster in its low tone.

The small coffin is red, and it is as bright red as fresh blood, as if it has just been fished out of the freshest blood pool. Even after thousands of years, the color is still bright.

This small coffin, judging from its position, should belong to the wife of the tomb owner, but... why does it look so weird?

Around the pool, there is only a ring of stone slabs seven or eight feet wide.

There is also a ring of sinks at the edge of the circular stone floor.

Above the sink, faucets protrude from the flat wall.

The faucet opened its mouth, and water flowed out of the faucet's mouth and fell into the sink below.

Between the surrounding ring of sinks and the central pool, many small sinks were dug to connect the pool to the surrounding ring of sinks.

It seems that water is filled into the central pool through these small tanks.

On the circular stone floor, a circle of gem trees was "planted".

The light emitted by the gem tree makes the surrounding area of ​​the hall very bright, and the closer to the center of the pool, the darker it becomes.

Apart from this, there was nothing else in the entire hall.

Lu Qian glanced around, a little puzzled.

First, the main tomb is so grand, but why is the decoration so simple?

Secondly, is it too easy for them to do this? They didn’t encounter even a single trap along the way?

"Ms. sir, come and see."

At this time, Ao Lanxi suddenly waved to Lu Qian and called him over.

These three people were attracted by the murals above their heads as soon as they entered, and they looked up.

Wang Yuanzhang also knew to observe the surrounding environment first, but as soon as she saw Lu Zeng looking, she stopped paying attention and looked up to see the murals on the dome.

Lu Qian walked closer to the three of them and looked up.

The colorful murals covering the entire dome were the largest murals they had seen since entering the tomb.

Lu Qian looked up and saw this huge semicircular mural. It was very large in scale. It seemed to be a whole scene, not divided into parts like the previous mural.

In other words, this mural only tells one thing.

Moreover, this should be the final chapter of the story of this "Ascended One" ascending to the Divine Court.

Located in the center above the center of the hall is the temple of the Divine Court.

Around the temple, there were clouds and mist, and many people gathered.

Outside the main entrance of the temple, there is a majestic army, so densely packed that one cannot see the end.

On both sides of the army, there seemed to be ordinary people. These ordinary people were all dressed in colorful clothes, holding colorful flags and other things in their hands, and there were drummers playing music beside them.

Further outward, there are various transformed or semi-transformed fairies.

Everyone was gathered outside the temple, a scene of jubilation, as if they were holding some important celebration.

The inside and outside of the temple are also decorated.

Inside the temple, the priests wearing black and red official uniforms were arranged in two neat rows, kneeling on the ground and kneeling before the royal steps.

All the priests only showed their backs, not their faces.

And the person sitting on the imperial steps was naturally the God Emperor.

The image of the God Emperor is still the tallest, even bigger than before. The God Emperor looked down at the priests under the imperial steps. The figures of these priests were as small as kittens.

However, the painting of the God Emperor this time seems to be different from before.

He wears a black flat crown on his head, with twelve jade strings hanging in front of the crown. Each jade string is strung with twelve dazzling jade beads.

His head hung slightly forward, and most of his face was obscured by the slats and ripples of the Pingtian crown, leaving only his chin exposed.

There was actually an extra pair of lips painted on his pointed chin.

His lips were pursed tightly and raised slightly to one corner, as if he was smiling.

This smile contains both pride and a hint of cruelty.

The God-Emperor in this painting not only has an extra mouth, but he also has a strange smile as he is always majestic.

This seems a bit weird.

Lu Qian looked at the whole body of the God Emperor again, and the more he looked at it, the weirder he felt.

But for a moment, he couldn't say what was strange.

However, the weirdest part of the whole painting is not here.

The background of the entire painting is almost entirely red.

The floor of the temple is red. Outside the temple, the ground visible among the crowd is red.

Because there are too many people on the painting, most of the ground is covered, so these red colors look inconspicuous. If you don’t observe carefully, it’s not easy to notice that the colors here are different from the previous murals. .

However, further around, closer to the edge of the mural, the red color becomes heavier.

The four sides of the mural are almost completely covered in red.

From a global perspective, the entire mural seems to be soaked in a pool of red blood.

The red color of blood.

This is incompatible with the festive scene of the celebration in the entire painting, and even the colors are extremely conflicting, so that the entire mural is full of a weird sense of dissonance.

Linglong suddenly asked: "Which of you has found the ascended one? Why can't I see him?"

Ao Lan ridiculed: "I've looked at it three times and I still can't see him."

Wang Yuanzhang also said: "I didn't find it either."

After hearing the words of the three people, Lu Qian turned his attention to the priests kneeling on the ground in the temple.

Although many priests only show their backs, the backs of each priest have their own unique details. If you pay close attention, you can even tell who they are through these backs, and how they compare with the murals in front of them. Compare the faces of the priests who appeared in the movie one by one.

Lu Qian looked at the priests one by one, and sure enough he didn't find the ascended ones.

The ascended ones are not in the temple?

Ao Lanxi said with some confusion: "It's strange. Judging from the previous murals, although the Ascended One is not painted in a big way, he has always been the center of every mural and is still very eye-catching. Why is it that in this painting, there is actually Without him? He..."

At this time, Linglong suddenly stretched out her hand and pointed at the thick red color around her, saying, "Could he have been killed? Look at the red color around him, it obviously represents blood."

Ao Lan said with a smile on his face: "Isn't it too exaggerated to shed so much blood by killing just one person?"

Linglong retorted unconvinced: "Can't it be exaggerated?"

Ao Lanxi spread his hands at her and said: "Then this is too exaggerated. No matter how exaggerated a person is, it is impossible to shed so much blood. Killing an army or a city is almost the same."

Linglong still said stubbornly: "Painting is art, do you understand it? Do you understand art?"

Ao Lanxi rolled his eyes at Linglong, too lazy to explain to her, but his expression obviously said: "Are you talking to me about art?"

Seeing this, Wang Yuanzhang explained: "The ascended person could not have been killed. If he was killed, then this painting should describe the process of his killing, or at least emphasize that he was killed. Rather than using obscure means to express it.”

When Linglong saw Wang Yuanzhang saying the same thing, she hummed twice and said, "Then tell me, what is this bullshit painting about?"

Just as Wang Yuanzhang was about to speak, he suddenly noticed from the corner of his eye that Lu Qian was staring at the center of the dome, looking at it continuously.

In the center of the dome, the divine emperor sitting on the throne is painted.

Seeing this scene, Wang Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask: "Did your husband discover anything?"

Lu Qian still looked up at the sky and said, "Look for the center. What is the center of this painting?"

"center?"

The three of them looked up again. After scanning around, Ao Lanxi said inexplicably: "But... but the center of this painting is... the God Emperor?"

Wang Yuanzhang said: "The image of the God Emperor in the murals has always been the largest, but he has never been the center of the painting. But in this painting, how come he has become the center?"

Lu Qian lowered his head, looked at the three of them, and said, "This painting has only one meaning - celebration."

"celebration?"

Lu Qian nodded and said, "Looking at the scale of this celebration, what are they celebrating?"

Linglong said: "It looks a bit like the new emperor ascending the throne in the drama..."

Linglong's words had just finished, but before she finished speaking, Wang Yuanzhang and Ao Lanxi's expressions changed in shock, and they both turned to look at Linglong.

The two people stared at Linglong blankly, the expressions on their faces seemed to have frozen.

Their faces were full of shock and disbelief.

Linglong was a little frightened by the sight of the two people. She subconsciously took a step back, reached out and touched her face, and said inexplicably: "What do you think I'm doing?"

After Linglong finished speaking, their expressions changed slightly. They looked back at Lu Qian almost at the same time and asked at the same time: "Has your husband noticed it a long time ago?"

Lu Qian nodded.

Linglong looked at their family of three, even more confused, and said, "What did you see? What did you see?"

None of the three members of the family answered her.

Ao Lanxi's expression changed several times, and she murmured to herself: "I understand... it must be like this. No wonder... no wonder I always feel that something is wrong with this God Emperor, and it seems to be different from before.

Yes...it must be like this..."

Linglong looked at Ao Lanxi and said anxiously: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"

Ao Lanxi's eyes were already a little distracted, and then she slowly put them away. She looked at Linglong as if she was confused. She sorted out her thoughts first, and then said: "The meaning of this painting is that the ascended ones kill He became the God Emperor, and then he himself ascended the throne and became the new God Emperor."

Hearing this, Linglong's eyes suddenly widened and she was stunned for a moment.

She stayed for a while and then said: "This...isn't this possible?"

Ao Lanxi nodded and said: "That must be the case. The Ascended One has always appeared from behind, and we have never seen his front face. But in this painting, he appears from the front without a back, so We didn't recognize him for a while. However, if you look carefully at the portrait of this God-Emperor, you can find that he is obviously different from the previous God-Emperor, and he must be a different person."

Linglong looked up at the mural above her head, looked at it for a while, and then said: "It's different... But even so, why do you say that this new God Emperor is the Ascended One?"

Ao Lan ridiculed: "With the blood all around. Why is there a lot of blood as the background on the mural? It's simple, because the ascended person can only ascend to the throne and become the new God Emperor after killing many people.

If this was a normal alternation of gods and emperors, there would be no need to engage in such large-scale killings. Therefore, this Ascended One must have staged a coup, killed the God-Emperor and his followers, and then succeeded in ascending to power.

Only with this explanation can the mural be justified. "

"hiss……"

Linglong took a breath and said incredulously: "Is this...is this possible? Can a mere ascendant like him have such strength?"

"There is another piece of evidence——"

Lu Qian suddenly interrupted them and said: "In the previous painting, several priests who opposed the ascended person were plotting to kill him. And behind these priests, there was also the shadow of the God Emperor.

In other words, the God Emperor has felt the threat of the Ascended One and also wants to kill him.

In other words, the ascended ones have the power to threaten the God Emperor. "

After Lu Qian finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

After being silent for a long time, Ao Lanxi suddenly raised his head and looked at the huge coffin of the tomb owner in the center of the pool.

Her expression suddenly changed with fear. She pointed to the coffin and said in panic: "According to this, then...that...that coffin...that coffin contains a God Emperor?"

When Ao Lanxi said these words, Linglong's expression suddenly changed.

Even Wang Yuanzhang's expression moved slightly.

However, her face was not as scared as Ao Lanxi and Linglong's, but more confused.
