In the passage of this underground cave, there are huge murals on the left and right walls of the cave.
Because information about this hole might be involved, Lin Shuo didn't move on, but stayed here for a while, trying to figure out what was painted on it.
The light range of the flashlight is not large enough, and as the only sustainable light source at present, the flashlight only hits the cave wall, which is actually quite dangerous.
Because the field of vision is very poor in this way, there are things in front of and behind the cave that cannot be seen.
Even Lin Shuo should avoid this.
Because it takes time for the smell to dissipate, if something approaches at high speed, the attack may arrive before Lin Shuo smells the other party.
Therefore, it is best to hit the front of the flashlight instead of the cave wall.
The camera can’t be counted on. It has been on standby for several days, and there is not much power left, so I have to save it for future use.
Fortunately, everyone didn't go deep into the cave at present, so Zhou Lingshi made a round trip and temporarily made a torch outside to hold it in.
Under the light of the fire, the two giant murals on the left and right walls of the cave finally revealed their true faces.
Lin Shuo looked around. He didn't know painting, but he still had basic artistic aesthetics.
In his eyes, the level of these paintings is roughly equivalent to mass-produced decorations, the kind of craft paintings that can be seen everywhere in buildings or hotels.
The level is actually average, and you can see the meaning.
Fortunately, the characteristics of these paintings are still very distinct, with rough lines and good expressiveness.
So you can roughly understand what was drawn.
Anne followed Lin Shuo, watching while walking, and saw the doorway at this time, and said: "The cave walls on the left and right seem to have two different stories painted on them.
Look at Lin Shuo, there are more characters on the left, and the backgrounds are mostly snowfields and mountains. The scenes are traveling, hunting, offering sacrifices, delivering babies, and funerals.
It appears to be an epic painting of a certain tribe. "
"Not to mention, the scene is quite big." Zhou Lingshi said, "Master, I know these people in the painting, they are snowmen. I met this thing with Patriarch Su in another cave before. Look at them Not to mention the long hair all over the body, the hair is still white, and the limbs are also very thick, and the snowman looks like this."
"Yes, these are all snowmen." Anne confirmed, and then said, "However, snowmen probably don't have the ability to draw such complicated murals, but if it weren't for snowmen, who else would draw these things?"
Lin Shuo did not answer Anne's question, but said, "The murals on the right seem to be simpler."
Following Lin Shuo's words, everyone turned their attention to the mural on the cave wall on the right.
Indeed, as Lin Shuo said, the painting on the right has a simpler scene and fewer characters.
To be precise, most of the murals have only one figure.
That was also a snowman.
Unlike the snowman images on the left, the painter did not use black paint for the lines of the snowman's outline, but the blue fluorescent paint.
The murals on the left before, everyone looked at as they walked forward, all they knew were the big scenes of the snowman tribe, but they didn't know the order of these paintings.
The order of these on the right is obvious, because this snowman grew up from a child.
In the first picture, a snowman baby was born with two hands.
Of course, these hands are not normal human hands, with white hair on them.
Following the first painting, everyone in Lin Shuo turned around and walked back, continuing to read.
The second mural is a snowman child who shoots down a deer with an arrow in the mountains.
In the third picture, the scene changed suddenly. The snowman boy saw nine dead snowmen lying on the ground.
…
From the fourth picture onwards, there are more and more characters, most of them are fighting scenes.
This snowman is constantly growing up, and at the same time, it is constantly slaughtering humans, and it has a variety of tricks, and those people die in different ways.
So until the twelfth picture, the scene changed again.
The snowman met a woman in the snow mountains.
This woman is dressed in white clothes like snow, with long fluttering hair and blue eyes.
The snowman is at the foot of the mountain, the woman is on the mountainside, and the two are looking at each other from a distance.
In front of this painting, everyone lingered longer, because the scene was very strange.
And this woman's blue eyes, which she had seen before, were the ones that made Zhou Lingshi scream.
After reading this picture, when it came to the thirteenth picture, Anne and Zhou Lingshi unconsciously let out an "oh".
That means I understand.
Because in this painting, the woman is drawing something on the ground with a twig, and the snowman is beside her, holding a twig in his hand, and is following along.
A woman, apparently teaching a snowman to draw.
And this painting is also the last one of the group of murals on the right.
After that, everyone returned to the place where Zhou Lingshi yelled at the beginning.
There are eyes there.
When I first saw it before, everyone's attention was on these eyes.
Now look at the two sets of murals on the left and right, and then look at the eyes, and you can find that there are actually faint gray lines around the eyes.
Everyone didn't notice it before, but now it's obvious when the torch is lit.
"This is also a mural, but it's not finished yet, and the composition draft has just been drawn." Anne said at this time.
"Oh, I didn't expect that. Looking at the meaning of the previous paintings, these paintings were all drawn by Snowman himself?" Zhou Lingshi couldn't help but sigh.
"It should be." Anne said, "It's really impossible for the snowman alone to master such complicated painting skills, but if someone teaches it, then it is possible.
Moreover, you can see that the outline of this snowman is blue, which is self-awareness.
This is itself, so it is drawn differently from other snowmen. "
"Nianqiu, can you tell what this last painting is trying to paint?" Lin Shuo asked.
"This kind of composition draft is just to define the spatial structure, and you can't see the specific drawing." Anne shook her head, and then said, "But obviously, the snowman likes this woman's eyes very much, so after finishing the structural base map , I couldn’t wait to draw her eyes first. This is actually quite abnormal, because usually, details like eyes are drawn last.”
"Yeah." Lin Shuo nodded, "In this way, I roughly understand the snowman's situation.
Those on the left are about how the Yeti tribe moved here, and some things about living here can be regarded as the background of the story on the right.
On the right side, the protagonist will appear.
It mainly talks about how the snowman who painted was born, how he grew up, and how he witnessed the annihilation of his family and then took revenge.
Later, the snowman met a blue-eyed girl, and the relationship between the two of them was probably not as simple as teaching painting, which was not finished yet. "
The other three nodded.
Then Anne asked: "Lin Shuo, do you feel that the woman in this painting seems to be similar to us?"
"Is there?" Lin Shuo looked left and right.
When Zhou Lingshi saw the situation, he felt something was wrong.
Although he had not known Lin Shuo for a long time, the leader of the hunting gate was a typical young and old man.
He is obviously twenty-five or six years old, but Xinsicheng looks like he is in his forties.
It's rare to see him feel so guilty.
Only then did Zhou Lingshi remember that his master was actually a young man.
"Still pretending." Anne said, "Isn't that the woman who is holding back and wants to give you a big gift, so that you can think about how to thank her?"
"Oh? What's the matter?" Zhou Lingshi suddenly became interested, "Patriarch Su, please talk about it carefully."
"Not in the mood." Anne said lightly.
"Cough cough." Zhou Lingshi coughed twice, and laughed, "It's actually okay, Patriarch Su, you and my master are in the same family, I don't believe there is anyone better than you in this world, Patriarch Su.
Our master is not blind, is he, master? "
"En." Lin Shuo responded softly.
"Master, I didn't hear what you just said, can you speak louder?" Zhou Lingshi said.
"I'm not blind!" Lin Shuo amplified the volume, and then gave his second apprentice a fierce look.
"Right." Zhou Lingshi smiled, turned to Anne and said, "Master Su, do you hear that? Don't be angry."
After Zhou Lingshi comforted Anne, he looked at Lin Shuo again: "Master, since you have such good eyesight, tell me, who exactly does the woman in this painting look like?"
"Zhou Lingshi, are you waiting for me here?" Lin Shuo rolled his eyes.
"This cave is scary enough, let's just talk and laugh, don't be so serious." Zhou Lingshi said with a smile.
"It's really a bit like Dylan." Lin Shuo finally admitted.
"Master, is this woman named Di Lan interested in you?" Zhou Lingshi asked.
No one answered Zhou Lingshi, but Zhou Lingshi was a good person. Seeing Lin Shuo and Anne's expressions, he understood it in his heart, and said, "Then we have an explanation on how to deal with this snowman."
"What do you say?" Lin Shuo was a little surprised.
"Patriarch Su, for you, it's better to keep the snowman." Zhou Lingshi said, "Look, it's obvious from the painting that the snowman likes this woman very much. And then this woman likes my master. Let's talk about it like this , The snowman is my master's rival in love! You have to keep it, and you must not let the master get his wish so easily."
"What kind of wish do I want?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Master, as far as you are concerned, this snowman cannot be kept." Zhou Lingshi continued, "You see, this woman also teaches the snowman to draw. Is the relationship so simple? This woman has a good appetite, and she is not picky. When I think about it, I feel angry for you, master. The disciples do their best, and if they meet the snowman later, if nothing else, I will fight with it. Master, you are covering me, if you can’t, just make up for it.”
"I can't cover you." Lin Shuo said flatly, "You have learned to drive a wedge between Patriarch Su and me now. You are too capable. Don't make a fool of yourself with my little knowledge."
"Master, I'm just kidding with you." Zhou Lingshi said with a smile, "I know that the woman in the painting is just a resemblance to that Di Lan, so why don't you talk about it?"
"It's good to know." Lin Shuobai glanced at this apprentice, feeling very helpless.
My big apprentice, Wei Xingshan, is a guy who likes to play tricks, and he likes to make jokes about him and Anne.
But Wei Xingshan, Lin Shuo really had nothing to do with him, after all, the two were brotherhood first, and the status of master and apprentice second.
Zhou Lingshi was ten years older than Wei Xingshan, and Lin Shuo thought he would be calmer.
It was really okay at the beginning, but it turned out that it was just getting acquainted, and when the fox's tail was exposed, it was also the same thing.
It's hard to say too much about him, after all, if a person of forty years old was left in the old society, he would get married early at that time, and he would soon be his own father at his age.
Lin Shuo was very depressed, thinking that it would be a hurdle for me to accept apprentices in my life, and I would fall twice after taking two steps.
There are only three things, so you must pay attention next time.
Although Lin Shuo was thinking about these things in his heart, since he had information in his mind, he still had to talk about the business, and there was no delay.
So he said, "This woman is definitely not Dylan."
"Oh, how do you know?" Anne asked.
"Dylan has never been to the Himalayas," Lin Shuo said.
"Oh? You know all about this, why did you research it so meticulously?" Anne put on a smile on her face, her tone was very gentle.
Seeing the woman's expression, Lin Shuo felt a chill come down from his forehead, and his spine was a little stiff.
He pretended to be calm, and said calmly: "This is not my research, but Yang Tuo's.
We already knew about Dylan's situation at that time, and we were afraid that she might not be telling the truth. If she had similar scientific research activities in other mountain ranges, it would be troublesome.
So Yang Tuo investigated it, and the result was fine, she had only been to the Altai Mountains and the Alps before.
The matter of the Altai Mountains has been resolved, and the Alps are not under our control.
She has never been to the Himalayas. "
"Oh." Anne glanced at Lin Shuo and didn't ask any further questions.
"So we should not know this woman in the painting, so we can ignore it for now." Lin Shuo said, "Since we have finished admiring these murals, let's go and see the artist himself."
"Where is it?" Zhou Lingshi quickly put away his hippie smile and looked back and forth.
"It's not far ahead, wait for us for a long time." Lin Shuo said lightly.
