Inside the cabinet is a statue that should be made of plaster, tightly bound with strips of black cloth, and looks like a mummy at first glance, with a head exposed. Just looking at the head, I recognized it at a glance, this thing was made after Yuan Zhen!
What does this mean? The Mummy Returns? I asked Qin Yiheng for confirmation, and he nodded at me: "Yes, this is Yuan Zhen, and he still has hands."
I looked down, and sure enough, a few fingertips could be seen in the gaps between the black cloth strips. I was even more puzzled, we had already seen Yuan Zhen's body, his hands had been chopped off. Before we guessed, what kind of information was hidden in Yuan Zhen's palm, but now he sent a statue the size of a real person, and the co-author is to give us clues
Thinking about it, I went to look at the palm of the plaster statue. Qin Yiheng persuaded me, saying that it was useless to look at it. The plaster statue had been moved, and both palms had been polished with sandpaper.
I touched it with my hand, really, it feels like frosted glass, and there must be no palm prints. This is even more strange, this is not here to send clues, why bother to get such a thing
After discussing it with Qin Yiheng, he also said that he was a bit unpredictable, so he could only take out the plaster statue and look at it before analyzing it. We used scissors to cut off the black cloth strips on the plaster statue one by one, and worked together to move the plaster statue out.
The black cloth is very oily, and I don't know what it was soaked in before, and it took a long time to cut it off, but the plaster statue is very clean, without any stains. I glanced at it twice, and it was quite fun, the plaster statue was naked, lifelike.
Qin Yiheng looked it over carefully from head to toe, but found nothing, so we turned the plaster cast over and looked at the back.
As soon as I turned over, I saw that there was something like a form on the back of the plaster statue. It was not engraved later, but it should have been on it when the plaster statue was made. Qin Yiheng stretched out his hand to touch it, and probably didn't see anything, so he didn't speak for a long time.
The form is not big, about the size of two palms, and the horizontal and vertical lines are not very straight, and it looks crooked. The more I looked at it, the more familiar it became. After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly realized that this is just a fucking chess board! I want to remind Qin Yiheng that before he opened his mouth, he remembered that I had picked up a chess piece at Wan Jinrong's house before, and now I have sent us a chessboard. Is there a connection between them
I hurriedly told Qin Yiheng the conclusion I got, and he was a little surprised, so we squatted down and started researching. Although I had seen the chess game at that time, I didn't remember the position at all. I drew it with my hands a few times, but neither of us could see the clue.
In the end we all just sat back on the couch and smoked. Smoked out, still clueless. Qin Yiheng said to put it away first, and told me to go to the closet again, pointing to the closet door and said: "Someone drew something with ink on the inside of these two doors, and I found the ancestral hall according to the pictures on the closet before. "
When I opened the closet just now, I didn't pay attention to it, but there were some messy things inside the closet door. The closet was a little far away from the light, so I turned sideways to let the light in, and then I saw it seemed to be a painting.
This painting is really not very good, it looks a bit like a child's stick figure, the strokes are quite clear, and the ink is thick, but the content is strange, as if a group of people are dancing in twos and threes. This painting is too abstract, and I can't tell what it is doing. I think it looks like a square dance performed by an old lady in a square. In addition, there are no distinctive features in the clothing, and it is not known what era the picture is depicted in.
The same is true on the other door. From the composition to the brushwork, it is a virtue, but the content is different. There are no people in the painting. It means landscape. I reckon it is a waterscape like a river. There are a few strokes that clearly outline the water. flow direction. Other than that there is nothing else.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but turn around and ask Qin Yiheng: "What is this?"
Qin Yiheng's expression was not clear, and he said: "If this wardrobe is all changed from a coffin, then these paintings are probably the paintings on the inside of the original coffin. The paintings I saw in another wardrobe were completely different from these two. It is similar, it should be done by the same person, and the depiction is roughly a scene of a group of people holding the spirit tablet to send off the spirit. The only strange thing is that in the painting, except for the one holding the spirit tablet, the rest of the people are armed, and they don’t know what they plan to do. "
"And the most important thing is..." Qin Yiheng paused, "In the corner of the painting, a lot of symbols of the heavenly stems and earthly branches were used to draw something similar to a sequence of numbers, which looked quite complicated. I took a picture with my mobile phone, and later in the hospital I used a compass to calculate it carefully, and it turned out to be a relatively detailed azimuth map."
I understand what he said here, let alone, the azimuth map is the address of that ancestral hall. But I still don't understand. Although I haven't seen those unearthed ancient coffins with my own eyes, I have at least seen some on TV or the Internet. Paintings inside the coffins are relatively rare. Even if there are paintings, they are all depicting dragons. Painted phoenix, and this is obviously an abstract art.
I asked Qin Yiheng, and he couldn't say one, two, three, but said that according to the current situation, it is very likely that these paintings were drawn in a very hasty manner, and the painters had to record certain important things, so they had to Don't do it. As for what exactly is to be recorded, we have no way of verifying. The paintings on the inner doors of these wardrobes should have been a whole at the beginning. If we really want to understand clearly, we probably have to see all the wardrobes.
After finishing speaking, Qin Yiheng sat back on the sofa and smoked. I also lit one. Frankly speaking, the amount of information this night is really too much, it is really hard to digest for a while. It is estimated that Qin Yiheng was a little tired from talking, and he didn't open his mouth for a long time. I summed it up with my eyes closed, and I always felt that I was in the middle of a big mystery. This feeling is hard to describe, a bit like the feeling you want to roar but can't open your mouth.
The night passed quickly, after smoking this cigarette, I looked at my watch, it was almost five o'clock in the morning, and the outside was already dimly lit. I had been nervous before and felt nothing, but now I feel sleepy. I discussed it with Qin Yiheng and planned to go home and have a good sleep. Qin Yiheng also yawned and told me to take a good rest, we have to leave as soon as possible.
Chapter Two Borrowing
There was no physical work that night, and I still felt extremely tired. When I got home, I fell asleep and woke up in the afternoon. For the next two days, I basically did nothing and stayed at home sleeping. On the third day, Qin Yiheng called me and said that he had already booked a ticket, so I packed up and rushed to the airport to meet him.
It is estimated that I have slept a lot these days, my head has been groggy, and I have no desire to speak. Qin Yiheng also looked a little dignified, and we basically didn't talk much along the way. I have always been a little flustered, because no matter what house I went to before, I was driven by profit, and there was no sense of mission that I had to go. The feeling of going to the examination room is extremely uneasy.
The place we are going to is considered a first-tier city, and I have never been to it before. Earlier, there was news about a few houses here, but at the time, considering that the price-performance ratio was not high, they didn't come here.
After getting off the plane and finding a hotel, Qin Yiheng first took me to find a car rental company to rent a car, bought a navigator in Electronic City, and then drove me around the city with the navigation.
After turning around for a long time, we finally found the right place. It was really said by Qin Yiheng, it really is a big real estate project. The two of us inquired at the sales office. The entire real estate occupies a large area, and the price is really not cheap. From the planning map, there are villas and high-rises inside, and a commercial belt around it. It is a comprehensive large-scale real estate, but the first phase has not been completed yet, so we can only see from the map what it will look like when it is completed. Yes, I can't tell either.
The two of us listened to the nagging of the sales lady for a long time, and then drove around the area of the first phase of construction that was about to be completed. Qin Yiheng kept frowning, I couldn't see anything anyway, and I was happy to be at ease.
On the way back to the hotel, I asked Qin Yiheng if he saw anything, because according to the sales lady, the main area of this real estate was newly built, and only a small part was demolished from old houses. The two of us inquired around, but we didn't hear that any antiques were dug up when the foundation of the real estate was being laid.
