Soul Painter

Latest website: Since returning from stk's nursing home.

Gao Fan has a sense of urgency.

Mystery has begun to roar unscrupulously beside him.

The system task also reminds this.

The Four Demons... is still a continuous task.

Gao Fan regarded it as missing and concentrated on completing the sixteenth painting outside of his mask set.

It was the end of the year. In mid-December, Lawrence came to see him twice and watched Gao Fan desperately painting. Instead, he reminded Gao Fan to pay attention to his body. The solo exhibition in January can be postponed or cancelled. The body is the most important thing.

Gao Fan wanted to say that I was not for a solo exhibition, but he was too lazy to explain.

For this sixteenth painting, Gao Fan wanted to name it "Hope", but felt that it was inappropriate, so the changed name was "Origin".

The sixteenth picture is very big.

It's 120x180, which is twice the size of other masks.

In the process of creating this painting, Gao Fan encountered some difficulties.

The most critical problem is that although he found the object of copying, the one before the death of the elder, which gave him inspiration for his creation, but Gao Fan’s'world' skills are a bit low, and he can't find this inspiration and Bengka Village. Connection-in other words, this painting is qualified as a separate mask painting, but if you want to resonate with the other fifteen mask paintings, you have to work harder.

Gao Fan wandered in the hall of inspiration day and night, trying to find more traces of the great elder's past through her already not low occultism, how the black tree grew up, and whether the great elder's predictive ability was true or false, she claimed to be under the black tree cloth. What is a prison, and why is it certain that the end of the world will come... Wait, wait.

26 points of mysticism and 55 points of investigation skills mirror each other. It is indeed possible to see certain things clearly. For example, what the great elder said is true. If the great elder never gave up his future, then the great elder will indeed become a'pillar'. And the great elder gave up the future of being a pillar, which is what she said was a prison made for the black tree...

But what did the great elder give up?

What does Black Tree hope to become the Great Elder?

If you can't find the connection between these clues, Gao Fan can't incorporate this last mask painting called "Origin" into the mask group painting. He has to find its ‘meaning’.

So there is only one way.

In late December.

Gao Fan was in a bright day.

He was lying in the middle of the floor of the studio on the first floor. Around him, 13 mask group paintings had been completed.

There was only a small snowfall yesterday.

The world ended up in vain.

With a cool white sun, it penetrated through the window and shone on the floor, leaving a large spot of light. Gao Fan was lying here, God was lying next to him, and Gao Fan held it in one hand. That big collapsed mask.

Gao Fan had worn this big collapse card before, but as he said to the great elder, he couldn't see the future from it.

However, the elder also responded, with a weird smile of ‘quack’, and told him that only when she died and mysteriously circulated, this big collapse card would be effective.

Gao Fan has never seen or heard of it. The old seal or the spell curse that works in this way seems to be the only law that conforms to such a lively and mysterious form.

Did the great elder use his own life to create a ‘law’?

Gao Fan thought so, and immediately covered Dabangka on his face.

It was dark immediately in front of me.

Different from the Bengka mask described by Gao Fan in his paintings, the real Bengka masks cover the entire surface without openings for the eyes and ears. In order to express his emotions in the painting, Gao Fan opened the eyes of the mask. Think of it as a person wearing a mask, looking at the world's "eyes".

in the darkness.

Gao Fan heard the sound of ‘Bang Ka’ and ‘Bang Ka’, but the sound was no longer weak, but the sound of banging like a war drum.

Mystery flows like a stream.

If the mystery that comes from a great existence is as vast as a Tianhe, then the mystery that Gao Fan hears at this moment is like a stream of water.

A gleam of sky slowly appeared before Gao Fan's eyes.

As if the curtain was opened, Gao Fan saw a young girl with long black braids and an oval face, with a cold temperament.

She said to Gao Fan, "I will inherit the position of elder tomorrow. I am a little nervous. I don’t know if I can become a wise elder... Well, I can do it. My mother-in-law said that my talent has never been seen before. Right?"

This is when the Great Elder was young.

The object of her speech is a mask.

This mask was called Bengka, but there was only one at that time. You can only wear it when you become an ‘elder’ because the ‘elder’ can predict the future.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Fan saw different fragments of her life. It seems that the elder of Bangka Village is a legend that has been passed down longer than the black tree. The elder has the ability to predict and was valued by the emperor in several dynasties. He once went up the mountain. The emperors who asked for help, including some familiar names in history, sent envoys to Bengka Village to seek predictions about the future.

Until the great elder, the most talented ‘elder’, met the black tree.

Gao Fan watched it in more detail. The encounter between the Great Elder and Black Tree also learned from the words of the Great Elder that she was entangled with the fate of Black Tree.

Through the ability of prophecy, the elder saw that the black tree was a foreign creature, and was a group of people abandoned by some mysterious tribe that could travel through time. This tribe seemed to be in great danger and had to throw away the inducement bomb. , To abandon part of the tribe, so that they can leave the danger more conveniently.

But when I learned this, it was too late. The Black Tree had infected the Great Elder and the entire Bengka Village through his huge life essence. He began to grow a huge number of Bengka masks from the tree. Anyone who puts on a mask will become his vassal.

It was not intentional to harm humans, but, this is the survival instinct of the black tree-it should be the same instinct from the great shell of Iss, Gao Fan thought.

The reason why Black Tree chose Bengka Village is because he needs to hold on to a ‘pillar’ so that the tribe can find him in the lost era~www.readwn.com~ pillar.

The word appears again.

At this time, Gao Fan had a better understanding of its meaning. The Great Elder was one of the “pillars” of that era. Although Black Tree was trapped in the era, he had a vision similar to that of the great existence. In their eyes, time did not flow in an orderly manner. , The human society is like a group of fuzzy bubbles, and only the "pillars" are the clearly visible coordinates in this group of bubbles.

The pillar is the person who can influence an era, whether it is a good or a bad influence.

The Great Elder has the ability to become a pillar. If her life is not entangled by the black tree, according to her predictions to herself, she will be able to help the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so that the change of the Tumu Fort that shocked China will not happen. This is enough. Let the Ming Dynasty extend its life for decades, and this will have a greater impact on the future.

But in order to refuse the invasion of the black tree and refuse to be a puppet, the great elder chose to give up being a pillar.

Refusal to be a puppet of a foreign race was not the only reason. Through her incomparable talent, the Great Elder saw the end.
