"In a certain way, in the long semi-mythical age, every once in a while, the records of human activities that lasted for hundreds of years were completely obliterated. Perhaps in order to end this situation, Yu ordered nine tripods to be cast. A witch image with the power of gods and ghosts is engraved on it, and a witch character 'light' is placed on the vast land to seal this power.
"Whether it is casting a cauldron or fabricating a witch amulet, it takes a very long time. This behavior may even last for hundreds of years due to the influence of various conditions, until it finally succeeds, completely seals this power, and is dominated by humans. history has been recorded continuously.
"However, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, wars broke out, the world was in chaos, and the Jiuding disappeared for unknown reasons, and the power that was once sealed lost the divine weapon that could suppress it. .
"And the other force that restrained it noticed its change, and tried its best to imprint the images representing Jiuding and Earth Dimension on the bones of the artist, and use the artist to continue suppressing that dark force. , and try to provide hints for the entrants through each painting in the process.
"Every time the dark power reappears, there may be a cycle, and we are the selected people in this cycle. From this point of view, the bone appearance alone may only be able to suppress this dark power for a hundred years. So that it can't turn over, I'm afraid we still need to find the real Jiuding."
Mu Yiran's analysis completely clarified the whole clue for everyone, so all the focus was on finding the whereabouts of Jiuding.
After lunch, everyone continued to work according to the previous division of labor. Wei Dong was still studying bone pictures, Luo Xun was making up for "Shan Hai Jing", and Ke Xun posted another Weibo message to the powerful masses to inquire about Jiuding's information. Zhu Haowen was in charge of On high-traffic platforms such as online forums and Tieba, Mu Yiran was also typing on his own notebook, and Ke Xun speculated that he was using his contacts from all walks of life to find clues.
The rest went to the library.
It wasn't until he came back in the evening, when everyone gathered to prepare for dinner, that Wei Dong sat down at the table, rubbing his sour eyes, and weakly said to Ke Xun, "You may not believe it, I have seen these pictures in 3D with naked eyes. The effect is coming…”
Before Ke Xun could answer, Mu Yi asked, "What do you see in the 3D picture?"
Wei Dong suddenly reacted and looked surprised: "Looking at the valleys, there are mountains, valleys and trees..."
"If you stare at the images of mountains and trees, can't you see that they are all mountains and trees?" Ke Xun said while peeling the shell of the braised prawns for Mu Yiran.
"It's not flat, it's 3D," Wei Dong waved his hand, "remember the kind of color-page picture book we bought when we were young, the pages are full of very dense and broken geometric patterns, stare at the middle point for a while, the page The pattern on it will suddenly become three-dimensional, some protruding, some concave.
"—I spliced the bones of the pages of the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" into a picture, there are mountains, rivers, trees, spirits, monsters, birds and beasts, all these patterns are put together, staring for a longer time, it becomes A whole three-dimensional picture, this image is a mountain!
"—Note that it is not the bones of the mountain that are drawn to show the mountain. All these pictures are combined to form a three-dimensional mountain. Those monsters, birds and beasts have become part of the outline of the mountain. But this The mountain is incomplete, and there is still a part missing, thinking about it now, I suspect it is because the bones of the remaining three people are still missing!"
"This is a big breakthrough!" Qin Ci was also very excited, "Will it be the location of Jiuding when all of us are put together?"
"—It's very possible!" Everyone was excited.
"Brother Dong, let me take a look at your picture." Luo Meng said, "If this mountain really exists in reality, I might be able to recognize which one it is."
Wei Dong and everyone looked at him in surprise, and asked the question they wanted to ask him on behalf of everyone: "Really or not? There are so many mountains, big and small, in the country, can you recognize each one?"
"Nameless hills and uncharacteristic mountains are definitely not good," Luo said. "When I was young, my father was busy with business and couldn't take care of me and my mother. My mother liked to travel with me. My second-generation ancestors continued to run around the country. We all love to climb mountains. During the second year of middle school, we also aspired to climb all the mountains in the country. From that time on, we used a camera to photograph a mountain every time we climbed to prove that we have been there.
"We not only have close-up shots, but also long-range panoramic shots, and aerial photography if conditions permit - we all have aerial photography drones. So I have collected tens of thousands of mountain photos since I was a child, and I am very impressed. Yes, even if I can't remember, I can use photos for comparison.
"And I think, if this mountain is really a mountain with nine tripods, it must be very unique. It is impossible to hide nine such awesome artifacts in a small earthy mountain. If it is a mountain with a name, I am sure I can recognize it."
"Okay, you little radish head, you really surprise us again and again." Ke Xun said, stuffing a shelled shrimp into Luo Meng's mouth, "Look at the picture with your brother, and you can see that us."
Luo Meng chewed on the shrimp and followed Wei Dong to the study. The picture was on the computer in the study.
After a while when the two came back, Luo Meng shook his head: "The picture is not complete, it's hard to judge, but I feel it is the mountain on the other side of Xiyuan, I understand Xiyuan, I have been there more than a dozen times, but unfortunately the picture is incomplete and lacks a comparison. The key part, if the picture can be put together, I can definitely recognize where it is."
Everyone looked at each other, and at the end, Shao Ling sighed: "I think this may be the result of the forces behind the scenes. If we don't have thirteen people together, we will never be able to reach the final answer. For the pursuit of clues, at present, It might just end there.”
"There's nothing we can do about it," Qin Ci comforted. "Even if the radish can locate the exact location now, it's too late for us to go to Xiyuan to find it, and we're about to enter the next painting, so we still need to set aside Time to go to the local spot and investigate, so let's do this for the time being."
"Looking for the best, we are going to gather thirteen people, and we are getting closer and closer to the final answer." Ke Xun smiled, "Come on, eat first, you can't be blinded by what I made for you. A big meal, eat something good, refresh your spirits, and prepare to enter the painting and fight again!"
When it comes to re-entering the painting, everyone can't help but feel a little decadent. These days, everyone's various solutions to the mystery of the main line, for the next painting that is about to enter, it is the helplessness of being far away from thirst.
Wu You turned on the phone and looked at the calendar: "This is the first time I have left my family to celebrate the New Year outside."
When it comes to family members, Gu Qingqing's face is not very good-looking: "I told a big lie, my parents agreed to let me leave home for the New Year."
Obviously, everyone lied to their family, so that the cat could be in Ke Xun's house when he was young.
"To enter the painting on the first day of the new year, we need to arrive at K City at least three days in advance to prepare for the painting." Shao Ling said.
"In order to welcome the Spring Festival, the art museum has replaced a large number of old paintings, and a new batch of paintings will be displayed in this exhibition. There is no specific news about this batch of paintings. I have already greeted the relevant personnel. Around the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, I will give me a clear map of the distribution of the exhibition halls, as well as the main exhibition contents of each exhibition hall." Mu Yiran said, "So, we will probably leave on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, arrive at K City on the same day, and focus on 4 days. time to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the exhibition content.”
Although everyone understands the cunning of painting, but Mu Yiran's words still give everyone a reassurance. Even if the specific painting cannot be determined, knowing the overall style of the exhibition hall will be somewhat helpful for entering the painting.
Luo Meng scratched his head: "Is it already the Spring Festival time? It's already counted according to the twenties of the twelfth lunar month? It seems that the Chinese New Year is really coming."
Wei Dong looked at the calendar on the table - Ke Xun did not rely entirely on his mobile phone in these places: clocks, calendars, chronographs, recipe books... all of them had to be bought.
Wei Dong continued to look at the calendar: "Hey, it's twenty-five today? It's twenty-six tomorrow! We've been looking up the data in the past few days, and we've been giving away all the children without knowing it?"
"Brother, what time is it, do you still think about Xiao Nian'er?" Luo Xun saw Ke Xun and Fang Fei come in with the food, and hurried over to help. A cool…”
It was said to be a big meal, but Ke Xun didn't have time to prepare the ingredients these days. He just bought one from the convenience store, plus what was in the refrigerator, and tried his best to keep everyone full and well fed.
"The staple food is mutton rice~ Everyone can make it~" Ke Xun stirred the mutton rice in the pot, and the aroma spread out, "Everyone is exhausted these days, and they haven't been idle for a moment since the last painting. Come on, even robots have to be charged, right? Let's celebrate Chinese New Year today~"
Luo Yu had already eaten it fragrantly. He was not used to grasping it with his hands, so he used a spoon: "Let's spend the New Year here today, and we'll go to K City tomorrow, where we will celebrate the New Year~"
"I found that everyone's hearts are getting bigger and bigger. Hearing the radish to go to K city, it's like everyone is going to travel." Wu You picked up a piece of lamb chops and bit down, "Oh my God, old Keer's craftsmanship The thief is fascinated, this onion, this cumin grain, each has its own soul~"
Crowd: Who is the big heart
…
After the meal, Wei Dong and Luo Xun took the girls to the hotel, Qin gave Zhu Haowen to clean up the dishes, and Shao Ling sat awkwardly on the lazy sofa, and read the information he had summarized today again, and after a while, he felt Neck is a little stiff...
Ke Xun and Mu Yiran stood on the balcony, it seemed like a rare night of relaxation these days.
A seemingly ordinary night, because it is surprisingly short, is extremely cherished.
"Hey, we can celebrate the New Year together." Ke Xun stared at the stars in the cold night sky through the glass window, and felt more and more that everything in the world has two sides.
The painting push set the date of entry to the first day of the Chinese New Year, which is extremely bad, but by accident, Ke Xun and Mu Yiran are about to spend their first Spring Festival.
Ke Xun felt that Mu Yiran was hugging him from behind, and his chin was in the position of his shoulder, numb and warm.
Mu Yiran's silence made Ke Xun feel a little strange. The other party kept holding his hand and didn't speak.
There was an unfamiliar touch on the ring finger of his left hand. Ke Xun seemed to be aware of what it was, but he couldn't help raising his hand to see that there was a silver-white men's ring on the ring finger of his left hand.
Ke Xun subconsciously picked up Mu Yiran's hand, and sure enough, on the ring finger of the other's left hand, there was a ring that was exactly the same as his own.
Mu Yiran still hugged Ke Xun tightly from behind, his voice seemed to be buried in Ke Xun's sweater, and then floated in from his ears: "I have an old item in the house, I let people dissolve it, and made two Rings. Nothing special, I just want to do it, I want both of them to wear it."
Ke Xun never thought that as a man, one day he would be given a ring - even if the other party was Mu Yiran, he never thought about it.
Ke Xun thought that he had always been a rough man, and that such delicate and formalized things had nothing to do with him.
But this ring is so firmly fixed on the finger, from the initial coolness to the current warmth, it is real, as if the future of the two people is bounded.
The author has something to say:
Reader: Why did you make a ring? Hypocritical
Bao Yue bit the end of the pencil: This... I always feel that there should be a sense of ritual...
Reader: I rely on you not to have a wedding, right? We can't stand this!
Baoyue: Who often ordered them to get married on the spot in the comment section
Reader: Is that an adjective? Don't get married on the spot! We can't stand it!
Bao Yue: _(:з"∠)_ That's fine.
