Paintings of Terror

Shao Ling looked at the "human body" lying on the stone slab-to be precise, the "human body" of General Jin Bi that he and Li Xiaochun slowly put together.

This body is a bit unreal in reality, especially watching him from the bones to the skin, to the fingers and toes, eyes and ears little by little. This process is uncomfortable.

Shao Ling rarely observes "it" carefully. On the contrary, it is Li Xiaochun. In his eyes, this human body is like a model in a shopping mall window. There is nothing weird or unnatural.

At this time, Li Xiaochun was carefully observing: "Mr. Shao, now except for hair and eyebrows, this person is basically everything."

Although Shao Ling didn't look at it, he was very clear in his heart that the "skeleton" and "physical body" of this body were complete, and now only the last part-the hair is left.

The last question will appear in the mysterious "question box" like a chessboard. Only when the correct answer is made can the hair part of this body be "returned to Zhao."

And now, the time left in this world for two people is only the last two hours.

Some of the previous questions were simple, some were complicated, and there was even one question. Shao Ling thought for three hours before answering.

There was a bronze light in the "Magic Box", and both of them understood that this was the prelude to the question.

A whole map appeared in the "Magic Box".

Although Li Xiaochun has been working with Shao Ling, this does not hinder his enthusiasm for the whole thing.

Li Xiaochun took the lead to check next to the "Magic Box": "Mr. Shao, this is a map of China!"

Although Li Xiaochun didn't learn much about geography, he still knew the maps of his homeland.

When Shao Ling heard that it was a map, he was puzzled for a while. He really didn't know the relationship between human hair and the map.

Shao Ling stepped forward and saw a clear map of China, and according to the outline of the territory and some place names, it can be judged that this is a map of China drawn in recent years.

"From the previous questions, the chronological order of these questions is constantly advancing backwards," Shao Ling said in his own heart. "We started with the first question in Oracle and experienced the Zhou Dynasty. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sui, Tang, Song and other dynasties, I didn’t expect the last question to be an exam question related to modern times."

These test questions are difficult and some are simple, but the most inexplicable is the angle between the question and the answer.

Because there is no examiner present, and no questions are expressed in words, not only is the answer, but even the thinking of the questioner needs to be guessed.

Just like the question in front of us, it is a complete map of China, but what is the relationship between the map and human hair? It is really confusing.

Li Xiaochun watched carefully from the side, trying not to make a sound, so as not to disturb Shao Ling's thoughts.

About half an hour passed, Shao Ling still stared at the map with tight brows, as if he still hadn't found the clue to the problem.

Li Xiaochun said softly, "Mr. Shao, is this question also the same as the previous questions. Once we make a mistake, this question will disappear and appear in another more complicated way?"

Shao Ling nodded helplessly: "I think it should be like this. This kind of topic doesn't give us any chance to go back."

"President Shao, I think this question must be for us to point out a location, and this location must be related to General Jin Bi, or this location is related to hair..." Li Xiaochun guessed with his own thinking. Since Shao Ling couldn't find the answer, Li Xiaochun didn't want to accompany him in silence. Maybe he could accidentally give him some useful suggestions.

Shao Ling stared at the provinces on the map: "My initial guess is that this place should be in Henan Province."

"Why Henan Province?"

"Because Zhuxian Town is in Henan Province." Shao Ling was not surprised by it.

"Oh yes yes yes, I have forgotten that Zhuxian Town is in Henan Province," Li Xiaochun scratched his head. "Our Niansu Art Museum is also in Henan Province! That seems to be Henan Province!"

Shao Ling stretched out his finger nervously. This was the first time he was unsure of guessing. Although there had been an error in the last few rounds of questions, it was a real mistake of judgment, unlike this time, which was purely a mistake. It is in Mongolia.

"Then let's click on Henan Province!" Seeing that Shao Ling was still hesitant, Li Xiaochun simply clicked on the location of Henan Province on the map.

Shao Ling didn't expect Li Xiaochun to be so reckless: "What are you doing in such a hurry?"

"Isn't it all set to be Henan Province? Then what are you hesitating about, we don't have much time..." Li Xiaochun didn't feel wronged, he fixed his eyes on the magical changes on the map.

Shao Ling stared at the map calmly, and with another burst of bronze light, the map picture changed.

This time it is no longer a map of the entire country, but a map of Henan Province that Li Xiaochun selected just now.

Li Xiaochun couldn't get excited: "Mr. Shao, it seems we guessed right! The answer is really in Henan Province! Then, can we order Zhuxian Town in the next step?"

Shao Ling hurriedly stopped Li Xiaochun: "No, I think this question is too simple, it is a bit abnormal."

"that……"

"We must abandon this option of Zhuxian Town and try to lean in other directions." Shao Ling had no idea for a while, but he was very sure of the answer in his heart. It must not be Zhuxian Town.

"President Shao, where is the ancestral home of that General Jinbi?" Li Xiaochun tried hard to use his imagination.

"In..." Shao Ling couldn't remember for a while, "It shouldn't be in Henan anyway."

"If Henan's option is correct, then it seems that the correct answer has nothing to do with General Jin Bi himself?" Li Xiaochun tried to diverge his thinking, but he couldn't think of anything.

As both of them were thinking, it seemed even more silent.

A gust of wind blew past, and the old trees in the cemetery made strange noises, and several foxes couldn't bear to make a few long noises in silence.

"Bee--" Even the sound of the time announcement came to join in the fun, as if to remind the two people in gloat: Time is really running out, only the last hour is left! If you never think of the right answer, you will stay here forever.

Li Xiaochun let out a sigh of relief, knowing that the more you are at this time, the less you can be anxious. If you are anxious, you will get confused. In the end, all the previous efforts will be wasted and all will be lost.

Shao Ling finally said, "I think there is probably only one direction."

"What direction?" Li Xiaochun asked hurriedly.

"Just like the hieroglyph of the bone character we saw before, it directly implies human bones." Shao Ling's eyes scanned every place name on this map. "This place must have something to do with human hair. , But I really don’t understand why human hair is related to a place? What kind of relationship can they have?"

"Mao, Henan," Li Xiaochun mumbled there for a long time, and finally summoned the courage to say to Shao Ling, "I think I might know the answer."

"Tell me about it." Although Shao Ling didn't have any hope of Li Xiaochun's knowledge level, this young man was more or less reliable and should not be full of nonsense.

"President Shao, do you know Xuchang?" Li Xiaochun asked.

"I know that it is a prefecture-level city in Henan." Shao Ling tried to search for all the knowledge about Xuchang in his mind. "So, Xuchang is a place with a very long history, and the Xia Dynasty was once the capital here. ."

"Ah? Xu Chang is so powerful?" Li Xiaochun was surprised when he heard this.

"Yes, the Xia Dynasty once built the capital of Yangdi, which is now Xuchang Yuzhou."

"Yuzhou? God, I used to stay there for two years!" Li Xiaochun couldn't believe that Xuchang had such a long history.

Shao Ling nodded solemnly: "That's true. Xuchang was called'Xu' in ancient times. It originated from the Yao time when a high man named Xu You farmed the land and got the name from the shore of Yingshui."

This passage of Shao Ling's words left Li Xiaochun with a little understanding.

But Shao Ling quickly said: "Although your ideas are good, Xuchang has a long history, but I think this place seems..."

"Mr. Shao doesn't understand Xuchang now?" Li Xiaochun said suddenly.

"Ok?"

"My aunt married in Xuchang. I went out to work at the time, so I went to my aunt and stayed there for several years."

"Oh."

"Mr. Shao, do you know where you bought President Obama's wig headgear?" Li Xiaochun asked suddenly and excitedly.

"..." Shao Ling was stunned by Li Xiaochun, and he didn't even realize who Obama was.

"It's Xuchang! The wig headgear of the president comes from Xuchang!" Li Xiaochun said with a full face and honored, "Xuchang is the hair capital of the country and even the world! Every county and even every town in our country There are all Xuchang people, do you believe it?"

"Why, why?" Shao Ling felt that he was refreshed in his worldview.

"Because Xuchang people are going to collect hair there? Mr. Shao, I don't know where you are, but where you live, there should be someone shouting with a loud speaker every time: Take your hair and collect your hair!" Li Xiaochun Looking at Shao Ling, "Am I right?"

"Yes, I've heard someone take their hair."

"That's all from Xuchang."

Shao Ling was refreshed in his worldview.

"But now the living standards of Chinese people have improved. Many people go to perm and dye their hair, so the quality of their hair is also poor," Li Xiaochun continued. "Now Xuchang people go to India and Southeast Asia to get their hair."

Shao Ling's worldview was refreshed once again.

"The wig industry in Japan and South Korea all imported raw materials from Xuchang. Later, Xuchang changed from supplying raw materials to processing by itself. Since then, Xuchang's wigs have gone to the world." Li Xiaochun continued.

Shao Ling's eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he couldn't believe that he was led to find the answer by the young wage earner in front of him.

"So, if human hair can have the closest relationship with a place in China, it must be Xuchang in my country!" Shao Ling's voice was a little excited.

"It's not just China. Even if the map of the world is placed here, there is no city in the wig industry that can match Xuchang." Li Xiaochun said with certainty.

"Okay, come on." Shao Ling's eyes stared at the location of Xuchang on the map of Henan Province.

"Really? Mr. Shao, are you really willing to trust me?" Li Xiaochun said excitedly, "I can't find where Xu Chang is..."

"Right here, can you see it?"

"I saw it!" Li Xiaochun pressed her index finger on the name of Xuchang.

For a moment, the two people looked at the place where Jin Bi’s "human body" was stored. They were surprised to find that Jin Bi had disappeared. What was left on the large slate was a piece of woodblock New Year painting.
