Yue Guanchao saw the hallucination in front of him, and he believed Master Mao's words in his heart. Although Song Siyuan felt that the creature in front of him was unbelievable, she also believed that it was a mirage: "In this way, this thing is really a legendary mirage, answer Yin Zun His ability is so great that he can actually catch it and tame it into a pig."
"If we look for this thing's body again, we might be able to find the secret anti-pigment medicine that Butler Chao said~"
After speaking, a few people completely flattened the shell of the mirage and used the daggers in their hands to cut open the thick mirage flesh. After all, the flesh of the snow-white mirage had grown for thousands of years and became extremely tight and strong. They had to scrape it off every time they cut it. Mucus, by the time the body is completely cut open, an hour has passed.
"This mirage is really poor. It only has a broken bead all over its body and nothing else. Our work has been in vain."
Yue Erpao wiped the sweat from his head and complained, but Song Siyuan still refused to give up and continued to fumble in the bloody and smelly jellyfish minced meat. She felt her palms touch something cold, her eyes lit up and she shouted: " I found it, deep inside the shell."
Then, she took out the cold thing with all her strength, held it under the light and wiped off the blood and filthy flesh. When she took a look, she didn't know what it was.
"Why does this thing look like a bamboo slip~"
Yue Guanchao looked at this strange thing.
This thing is half an inch shorter than a half-arm and one turn thicker than a wrist. It looks like an ancient bamboo slip rolled into a tube. The thumb-thick slips are connected with a chain. The surface is etched with strange patterns such as dragons, dragons, pythons, flowers, birds, insects, and fish, and is shiny. It seems like the nugget gold has been buried in the ground for thousands of years, exuding a simple and heavy atmosphere!
"Isn't it the gold slip for atoning for sins?"
Master Cat looked at this thing, his eyes full of joy, and he explained to everyone while stroking his goatee:
"I remember that during the Li and Tang Dynasties, Empress Wu Zhou ordered craftsmen to make three gold slips of Tianguan, Diguan, and Shuiguan and throw them in famous mountains and rivers in order to eliminate sins with the confession pictures and texts in the gold slips. This is It is a ritual to pray for God’s forgiveness. The old man wants to answer Yin Zun’s massacre and burial before his death. Will he also make a gold slip to absolve himself of his sins after death and avoid being punished by the underworld?”
"It seems to be nonsense to modern people, but the ancients believed in ghosts and gods. If A Yin Zun did this, it would make sense."
Song Siyuan listened to Master Mao's words and weighed the slip: "I don't think so. If it were a gold slip, it wouldn't be of this weight. The density of gold is heavy and heavy. Such a large slip weighs several kilograms, even if it's a single slip. It’s hard to lift your hands.”
"Look at the thing in my hand. It has a golden luster but is only slightly pressed against my hand. It is obviously just gold-plated. I guess it is copper or iron inside. Let's open it and take a look."
Song Siyuan unfastened the buckle at the waist of the slip. She didn't know if the chain was corroded, so she could only slowly open it outwards. When the slip was completely unfolded, everyone finally saw the true face of the slip in Lushan.
After the slip is flattened, it is about half a meter wide. The slip near the left hand is etched with ancient seal characters in regular script, and the five large characters "Picture of Ancestral Veins and Souls" are engraved in fine brushwork. There are no other words.
Looking further to the right, there is the Ancestral Vein Soul Map!
These simple pieces are intertwined with each other by chains, forming a complete plane. On this flat, mirror-like piece, a very strange meticulous landscape painting is etched, which is divided into four parts from top to bottom:
The first part is the colorful clouds and the red sun in the sky high in the sky. The golden light shines on everything, giving it an indescribable sense of sacredness.
The second part further down, depicts handsome and verdant steep mountain peaks, with misty clouds, rugged rocks, jingling springs, and even wild beasts perching for food, giving it a spiritual aura.
When everyone looked at the third part, the style of the picture suddenly changed!
The thousands of grottoes are like beehives and ant nests, filled with caves of different sizes. The caves are dotted in the mountains and rivers, boundless and inextricable. These caves seem to have been abandoned, with broken walls and collapsed houses scattered everywhere. .
The content of the last part obviously shifts from landscape to depicting figures.
Some officials and generals wearing virtuous crowns lined up in a row, holding sceptres and swords, standing on the pedestal with flying flags, surrounded by tens of thousands of kneeling slaves with their hands and feet bound. Their expressions seemed like they had seen ghosts, either fearful or howling. It seemed like some kind of ceremony was being held.
However, the expressions on the faces of these sacrificial officials were not pious. They were gloomy and worried, as if they were afraid and restless. Combined with the clear sky and thousands of caves, there was a sense of fragmentation that was difficult to bridge, which made people feel depressed. One breath.
The entire painting is made of mineral pigments mixed with snow clam oil, and the surface is glazed with a transparent glaze. Even after thousands of years, it has not faded or cracked, and it remains clear and bright. If the chain hadn't been corroded and covered with patina, this thing wouldn't have existed at all. Unlike objects from thousands of years ago.
"The Ancestral Soul Soul Picture, what exactly does this picture depict?"
For a while, Song Siyuan really couldn't figure out what the painting on the slip meant. She searched for the treasured scrolls she had seen, but she didn't even know that there was an ancient painting handed down in history with the name "Picture of the Souls of the Ancestors"!
