Back in the hotel room, Chu Chen immediately took out his things from the safe in the room.
Liu Sizhe asked for the note first. After reading it, he sighed: "the opening steps are too troublesome. If there is no formula, I don't think I can open the mechanism box at all."
Other people sigh after seeing it. You know, there are more than a dozen boards on the box. Every time you open it, you have to move one of them to a position. So there are many combinations between the boards. The key is that there are 144 steps left. Even if someone wants to crack it, they can't start.
After Liu Sizhe returned the note to Chu Chen, he said anxiously, "brother Chen, hurry up. I can't wait to know what's inside!"
Chuchen nodded with a smile. In fact, it was not only Liu Sizhe who wanted to know, but also he was looking forward to whose masterpiece the painting in the box was. So he immediately followed the formula on the note and began to operate step by step.
Chu Chen looked at the formula and solved the mechanism. After nearly ten minutes, the work of opening the mechanism box was coming to an end. In fact, with his memory, the formula has been recorded in his mind, even if he does not read the note, it does not matter, but he does not want to pay too much attention, think it is better to play a cover.
To everyone's great expectation, Chu Chen opened the lid of the mechanism box. However, to their surprise, there was a lid inside, and there was a keyhole on the lid. It was obvious that a matching key was needed to open the lid.
Seeing this, Liu Sizhe said with a depressed face: "why do you want a key? What can we do? Can we crack it by violence? "
"Crack what!"
Chuchen takes out the key from his pocket with a smile, then inserts it into the lock hole and twists it gently. He only hears a "pa". It should be that the lock has been opened.
Liu Sizhe said with a speechless face: "I said brother Chen, if you have the key, you should have said it earlier. It's a false alarm for me! But where did you get the key? "
"With the note, of course." Chu Chen opened the lid and returned.
Liu Sizhe said in surprise: "isn't it? Is that piece of Songhua inkstone hollow?"
Chuchen said with a smile: "of course, it's hollow. Otherwise, where do you think things can be hidden?"
When he opened the box, the silk bags containing cotton and other things popped out. All of a sudden, everyone except Chu Chen was startled. Later, he found that it was the bags, so he settled down. Then everyone realized that the reason why there was no sound in shaking the box was because of these bags.
However, we immediately put the bag aside. For them, the most important thing is to know what is in the box.
Chu Chen took out the bags and found that there was something like a picture tube in the box. Then he opened the picture tube and took out a scroll about 256cm wide.
It's just that the material of this painting scroll is a little strange. It looks like both silk and hemp paper. Chu Chen has never seen such paper before. And one thing that surprised him was that the scroll still looked very new. It didn't look like it was nearly 1800 years old.
Liu Sizhe rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "it's so strict. I think it's a famous work! Brother Chen, open it quickly and see where the author is
"You are the most anxious!" Wang Xiaoyue gave him a white look, but looking at her expression, she was also very curious about this work.
Chu Chen put on his gloves and opened the scroll gently, but what he didn't expect was that he had just opened the scroll about a quarter, and he was shocked by the contents of the scroll.
Even Chu Chen's mind was startled. You can imagine what other people's reaction would be.
Liu Sizhe stepped back a few steps, pointed to the scroll, and cried out in a terrified voice: "dragon! Dragon
And the third daughter is more unbearable, Wu can directly hide behind Chu Chen, tightly grasp Chu Chen's clothes, shaking all over. The other two women were directly frightened by the content and sat on the ground.
In fact, their performance is not surprising. Although there is only a dragon head on the scroll, the level of the painter is too high. The dragon head is lifelike, and even Long Wei is incisively and vividly.
When they see the dragon head, it's like facing a real dragon. How can they not be afraid?
When Chu Chen saw the tap, his heart also trembled, but his mind immediately reflected that his eyes were just a painting, so he could immediately settle down.
Similarly, other people are not stupid. After a while, they all react that the dragon head on the scroll is not real. This makes them feel very surprised. At the same time, they feel a little embarrassed for their performance just now. Josie and Wang Xiaoyue are even more ashamed.
Although they were ready, when they saw the dragon head again, their hearts still trembled. It was hard for them to imagine which painter could make the Dragon so beautiful.At this time, Liu Sizhe thought of a character in his memory and said excitedly, "is this Zhang sengyou's work?"
"Who is Zhang sengyou?" Wang Xiaoyue asked curiously.
Liu Sizhe explained: "have you heard the story that makes the finishing point? The protagonist is Zhang sengyou. Apart from him, I really can't think of anyone who can draw dragons so realistically. "
The three girls nodded and agreed. However, Chu Chen did not think that this work was painted by Zhang sengyao. The reason is very simple. Zhang sengyao was a character in the Southern Dynasty, but this work was in the Three Kingdoms period, with a difference of nearly 300 years. It is obvious that there is another author.
He was also a painter in the Three Kingdoms period, and the dragon was so lifelike that Chu Chen immediately thought of the name of a painter, Cao Buxing.
Cao Buxing, also known as Fuxing, was a famous painter in the Three Kingdoms period. According to the earliest records, the painter of Buddha painting is known as a legend. Besides painting Buddha, he is also good at painting dragon, tiger and horse.
It is recorded in Xie He's ancient paintings: "Cao Buxing, Wu current affairs of the Five Dynasties, Sun Quan, Wu Xingren. If you don't like it, you can't repeat it. It's just a dragon in the secret Pavilion. If you look at the strength of his character, how can his name be empty! "
It can be seen that Cao Buxing really has a very high level of dragon painting.
Of course, whether the author is Cao Buxing or not still needs to have solid evidence. Then Chu Chen opened the scroll slowly.
This painting is very simple. It just depicts a red dragon, but the dragon is extraordinary. It looks like a real red dragon leaping on the paper. It's really carefree. Moreover, the strong power of the dragon is also displayed, which makes people fear.
Next, just as Chu Chen was about to open the last scroll, he suddenly heard a thunder outside the window, and then began to rain heavily.
This situation surprised everyone, because it was too coincidental. As soon as the dragon on the scroll showed its whole body, there was a thunderstorm. They couldn't help thinking about it.
Of course, it's too mysterious. After a little speculation, it's over. And now it's located in Xiangjiang. Although thunderstorms are rare in winter, it's not without them. Therefore, they think the possibility of coincidence is still greater.
The next scene, however, was beyond their understanding. With the rain, it seemed as if there was mist on the scroll. Then the mist and the clouds around the red dragon merged into one, making the clouds look real.
What's more shocking is that the red dragon seems to have become more three-dimensional gradually. Finally, it seems to have become a real dragon, roaming among the clouds carefree.
This situation, this scene, can not help but let everyone silly eyes, open mouth, looking at the picture, do not know what to say.
After a long time, the rain outside became drizzle, and the clouds on the scroll began to return to the original gradually. However, at this time, the red dragon seemed to have really passed the spirit, and there was a trace of dissatisfaction on his face. Then he looked up to the sky and sang a long song.
Although he knew that the red dragon didn't and couldn't really make a sound, it seemed that chuchen really heard the Dragon chant in their hearts. What this brought to them was not only shock but also shock, which made them unable to recover for a long time.
After a long time, five people wake up one by one, because Josie has never seen such a strange thing, the face of the incredible, tongue tied and said: "this should be an illusion?"
Wang Xiaoyue is also the same expression, tightly holding Liu Sizhe's hand, asked: "a Zhe, is this an illusion?"
Liu Sizhe said with a bitter smile: "it's not a novel. Do you think there will be illusions that can affect the five of us?"
"Is it true what I saw just now?" Wang Xiaoyue widened her eyes and muttered to herself in shock.
Seeing Wang Xiaoyue and Josie so shocked, Chu Chen felt normal. After all, they are now in a world dominated by science. The picture in front of them is too illusory, and the miracles it shows, like miracles, completely subvert their world outlook. It is reasonable for them to behave like this now.
Liu Sizhe put his arm around Wang Xiaoyue's shoulder and said, "well, Xiaoyue, next time I have a chance to show you Chen GE's the map of stars in the vast sea. That painting is much more magical than this one!"
"What?"
It's said that there are more magical paintings than the one in front of them. Wang Xiaoyue and Josie stare at Liu Sizhe and Chu Chen. Even if they solemnly say that they are, they still feel incredible.
