Paintings of Terror

"Don't stop investigating the clues of "Shan Hai Jing Tu"," Ke Xun said, "and the coordinates of the art gallery. These are likely to have an important relationship with the final clearance."

Shao Ling nodded: "You continue your work yesterday and give me the information about the investigation of Qin Dynasty."

"I can help..." Gu Qingqing raised his hand.

"Okay," Shao Ling looked at Fang Fei and Wu You again, "If you two don't have other arrangements, please come to help."

Fang Fei and Wu You agreed.

After dinner, the girls were not eager to leave, but took the time to divide the work with everyone to investigate clues.

Everyone is stuck in front of computers, laptops, mobile phones and books. Apart from the sound of typing keys and flipping books, there are no other sounds in the room.

Ke Xun clicked on his Weibo and found that there were more than 6,000 more comments. Thousands of comments were forwarded and hundreds of private messages were posted. Checking one by one was a very time-consuming task. He simply sat by the window, right. Looking at the dark night view outside the window, feeling the slight chill seeping through the cracks of the window, refreshed myself, and then clicked on the comment.

Most of the comments were made by **** licking his face or making fun of him, and those who answered the questions seriously were almost identical answers. Later, even the Chinese knot and the Yuelao red string came out, although Ke Xun felt that it was not reliable. , But still wrote down everything related to the rope.

I just kept flipping through the comments one by one until my eyes started to get tired. I looked at the time, and it turned out to be more than ten in the night, then I looked at Fang Fei and the three girls, still following Shao Lingcha Information, completely forgetting the time, is enough to fight.

Ke Xun stretched his waist and was about to greet the men to **** the three of them back to the hotel to rest, but in the comment area under his eyes there was a message, and he was busy looking at it. It was written: "Huainanzi: Astronomy Training" There is a saying: Central, Tuya, its emperor Huangdi, and its back soil, holding the rope to make the Quartet. It means that Houtu took the ink rope to assist the Yellow Emperor to manage things in the four directions. The ink rope is a tool for woodworking. I don't know if it has the power of gods and ghosts.

Ke Xun hurriedly wrote down the ink rope, then flipped it down, and found that the netizen with the ID of "Keeping the paper will kill you" had posted more than one comment, and there were several more behind it.

Knock the paper will kill people: "Tai Ping Yu Lan" has a saying: "As the saying goes, the world is opened up, there are no people, and Nuwa turns the loess as a person. The drama is too much to provide, but the rope is drawn in the mud and regarded as a person. The rich and the rich are also the masters of Huang. The poor and the mortal are the ordinary people."

Ke Xun: "..." So the three of us Jomon are the poor?

Look further back-

Knocking on the paper will kill you: you want to know what is the most powerful rope in our mythology. The practical rope to manage square things and use rope to create people is not the most powerful. The most powerful rope is ".

Knocking on the paper will kill you: what is the ground dimension? "Liezi·Tangwen" says: "Later, Gonggong clan and Zhuanxu fought for the emperor, and angered and touched the mountain of insecurity, turned the sky column, and Jedi dimension." This "dimension" is the rope that maintains the earth. The ancients believed that the sky is round and the earth is square. There are big ropes at the four corners of the earth to pull the pillars, so it is called Diwei.

Ke Xun stared at these words for a while, got up and went to Mu Yiran's side, and handed him all the rope names listed on the phone: "Yiran, I think this place is the most remarkable here. Peacekeeping and Nuwa are the ropes used to make people, and if I choose, I think Diwei is the closest. What do you think?"

Mu Yiran's eyes moved slightly while staring at the screen of the phone, and after a moment he raised his eyes to look towards Ke Xun: "There is only one rope for Nuwa to create a human being, and there are four in Diwei. Now the three of us are all Jomon, maybe Another Jomon will appear on one of the three other people besides the ten of us. Therefore, I also think that the "diwei" is the most likely."

Ke Xun grabbed his hair and said, "The rope that holds the earth is too...too magnificent. We are just the most ordinary people among hundreds of millions of people. This kind of thing is added to the body, and it feels... …Life cannot bear the weight."

Mu Yiran rubbed his tousled hair and said: "Maybe this is just an image, like a tattoo, but a symbolic expression, like the door **** we put on our door is just two paintings. , Instead of two true gods, they both share the same principle and don’t have to be too stressful. What we need to know is what this bone-shape will play or what it means."

Ke Xun looked at his mobile phone screen and sighed: "Either the power of the masses is great. I didn't expect the answer to appear like this. Or should I ask the masses about Shanhaijing again?"

"Yes." Mu Yiran looked at him, smiling slightly, "It seems you can do it better than us."

"Can I do it, you still don't know?" Ke Xun put his face in front of his face, and the tip of his nose touched his nose, whispered.

"This statement is very ambiguous." Mu Yiran glanced at him, raised his hand to pinch his chin and gently shook it left and right twice.

Ke Xun quickly kissed him on the cheek, then sat down again, while writing new Weibo content on his mobile phone, casually said: "If there are four people whose bones are ground-dimensional, then there are nine people whose bones are "Shan Hai Jing Tu", so why the four of us are not in the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" but the ground dimension? There must be a reason..."

"Nine people are "Shan Hai Jing Tu"..." Mu Yi suddenly condensed his eyes, and Ke Xun hurriedly stopped to look at him.

"I thought of a possibility." Mu Yiran thought.

Xu was a little louder in the next few sentences of the two of them, and everyone suspended their work to follow the reputation.

"Regarding the origin of "Shanhai Jingtu", in addition to the word'Wu Tu', there is another saying," Mu Yiran said slowly. "It is said that in the early summer, Dayu classified the world as Kyushu and ordered the governors of Kyushu Zhou Mu contributed bronze and used these bronzes to cast nine tripods to symbolize the Kyushu.

"Dayu sent people to paint the famous mountains and rivers, places of beauty and beauty, and strange things in Kyushu, and selected skilled craftsmen to engrave these paintings on Jiuding.

"Because each tripod covers the famous landscapes, plants, trees, beasts and monsters of a state, these nine tripods are equivalent to covering all things in the world, so from then on,'Jiuzhou' has become synonymous with China, and'Dingding' and "Wending" has become a symbolic word for the lord of the world.

"Therefore, some scholars believe that the ancient pictures of the "Shan Hai Jing" originated from the engraved pictures on the Jiuding, and the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" is the image of the Jiuding.

"If there are actually nine people who have the skeletal features of the "Shan Hai Jing Tu", then we may be able to determine the version of the skeletal "Shan Hai Jing Tu"-Yu made Jiuding, Ding Jiao Shan Hai. Our bones are on The mountain and sea map is the original version, the Yu version."

Everyone was shocked and stunned, looking at each other.

In this vast river of history, each individual person is nothing but a grain of sand, a drop of water, humble and small. And at the origin of the magnificent and turbulent river, in the age of myths that can't be described with all imagination, there is such an ancient artifact that can set the universe, the mountains and rivers, the ghosts and gods, and their dust The existence of is inextricably linked.

This is really unprepared... For a while, everyone felt the panic of the "unbearable weight of life" that Ke Xun had just experienced.

"Really... will it really be like this?" Luo Ling still had a hard time believing that this unimaginable thing would fall on his head.

"Nine-in-nine chances are this." Shao Ling took a slight breath, "...It's really'only in this mountain', if it weren't for Mu, I wouldn't think of it here. There are some in my memory. relating documents.

"There is a detailed record of this in "Zuo Zhuan". It roughly says that Yu let people engrave the images of all things, ghosts and evil things, as well as the demons, poisonous insects, beasts, ghosts and spirits in the forest of Chuanze Mountain. On the tripod, let the common people know them so that they can be prepared. When they go out and enter the mountains and forests and rivers in the future, they can have countermeasures against these things to ward off evil spirits, drive demons, and send ghosts away. The ancients also believed that various gods and monsters were attached to these nine tripods and possessed supernatural powers.

"The Ming Dynasty scholar Yang Shen also argued that the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" was the image of Yu Ding. He said that the images on the Jiuding had the wonders of mountains, water, grass, wood, and birds. , The wonder of the beast, Jiuding has been completed, to observe the world.

"Bi Yuan, a scholar in the Qing Dynasty, pointed out that in the "Shan Hai Jing", those with country names, mountains and rivers, and gods and weird spirits are the pictures on the Jiuding. Others, such as the "Great Wilderness Classic", are for later generations. People added.

"So, this proves even more that the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" is a super painting that is different from all the paintings we have entered, and the size is equivalent to a big world. It can'see all nations', and its world has It is completely different from the landscapes, plants, beasts and monsters of our world.

"The most important and unexpected thing is that the painting "Shan Hai Jing Tu" was not painted on paper or silk. It was'painted' on nine tripods.

"If the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" on the Jiuding is the origin of the entire painting event, then the first batch of people who entered the painting, they should have entered the "Shan Hai Jing Tu" on the Jiuding. As for how they entered, perhaps It is related to the Wutu in the "Shan Hai Jing Tu".

"Jiuding is made of bronze. Bronze is a'sacred tool'. The ancients regarded it as being able to communicate with the gods. During the Xia and Shang dynasties, the bronze ritual vessels were used to worship gods and ghosts, worship and practice witchcraft.

"The ritual vessels made of bronze consist of food vessels, drinking vessels, water vessels, musical instruments, weapons, etc., when used, these items have a strict order of arrangement, and these arrangement orders are the rules to be followed when practicing witchcraft. .

"So can we think that these nine bronze tripods were triggered by the magic of gods and witchcraft, so the "Shanhai Jingtu" engraved on them was expanded into a painting that exists Of the real world?"

Shao Ling’s analysis made everyone only have to breathe in continuously. Ke Xun felt that he was about to be poisoned by oxygen inhalation. He coughed twice, and said, “Mr. Shao, I think I’m very reasonable in your analysis. A moment: Yu carved all things in Kyushu on nine bronze cauldrons. Because bronze is a divine tool, it can communicate with gods and ghosts. When offering sacrifices or practicing witchcraft, these nine cauldrons were stimulated by their supernatural powers, so he took all the things in the cauldron. The map of mountains and seas has been realized...This is not right. It is the original mountains and seas of Kyushu, and then was carved on the tripod by Yu. The tripod was stimulated with divine power, and it is impossible to realize a world of Kyushu again, because— Yu and Ding were originally in the world of mountains and seas in Kyushu!"

Shao Ling was also taken aback, and then felt that this kid Ke Xun was becoming more and more like a logical ghost.

This question caused everyone to ponder for a while, and time gradually passed. Ke Xun saw that Luo Er had begun to yawn non-stop, so he proposed to continue tomorrow and send the girls back to the hotel first.

Luo Ling stayed at home to sleep first, and a group of people went out to give people off.

The snow outside is already thick, and the snow flakes are still falling one after another. The street lights in the community sprinkle a thin yellow light on the flat snow surface, like a piece of old rice paper spread on the ground.

"I have a question," Wei Dong said with a white haze in his mouth, "How big is that to be able to paint the tripod of all things in Kyushu? In fact, I always think that the "Shan Hai Jing" are all myths, that Jiuding may also be made up in mythology, and it’s not surprising that things in mythology can draw all things in Kyushu, but now...it seems that the mythology is proved to be reality, so you have to consider the actual problem. Isn’t it necessary to have a building this big?"

"No one knows how many Jiudings were made by Yu," Shao Ling said. "But because Jiuding symbolizes the supreme power in the world, many monarchs in later generations wanted to recast a set to show their imperial power.

"It was recorded in "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" that Wu Zetian recast the Jiuding, the largest one is one foot and eight feet high, the rest are one foot and four feet high, and the nine tripods cost a total of more than 567,000 catties. Of copper.

"And Yu Ding's words, I think it will only be heavier and more majestic than Wu Zetian's tripod. You must know that in the Xia and Shang era, the tripod was a symbol of power, status and wealth. The number of tripods reflects the status and importance of the tripod. , Signifies the size of power. When enjoying the ritual, only the emperor of the Lord of the world can enjoy the Jiuding, and the great Yu governs Kyushu. Such power as the sky must represent the power of Jiuding.

"The "Warring States Policy" mentioned these nine tripods. One tripod requires 90,000 people to pull it, and nine tripods need 810,000 to pull it—of course, this must be an exaggeration. , But its true weight must not be underestimated."

"Where is the Yu-made Jiuding now?" Ke Xun asked, "Since we don't understand the issue of the initial painting incident, it is better to go to Jiuding to investigate in person."

Shao Ling smiled bitterly: "If I could go, I would have said it. Yu made Jiuding, which disappeared as early as the Warring States Period."

The author has something to say:

Weidong: Wow! Snow is still floating in the sky~ Huh? There seems to be something else flying in the sky besides snowflakes?

Ke Xun: That is the brain hole of the readers' big treasures.

Weidong: Why are everyone's brains flying to the sky?

Ke Xun: Because it was blown up by the author.
