V1.chapter 11

What determines the state of death of the five people who died last night?

"I have already had a guess," Mu Yi Ran said lightly, "but it still needs to be confirmed for the last time. I will not say it for the time being before it is completely verified, so as not to deviate from your ideas - if you have such things as ideas."

Kexun: "although you satirized me again, I am still not angry. The last confirmation you said is to see the state of death of the next person who dies? "

"Yes. It's cruel, but there's no other way. " Mu Yi Ran had no expression.

"I may be next." Weidong sighed and sighed.

"Don't talk nonsense. It's childish." But I don't think we can wait like this. We have to do something

"Look for the seal!" Weidong got up.

"You can't look for it like a fly without a head," said Ke Xun, looking at Mu Yi Ran. "Give me a direction, brother mu."

"Call me Mu Yi Ran." Mu Yi Ran glanced at him coldly, "to find the seal, we need to combine the content of the painting."

Ke Xun: "last night, you said that this painting is a scene of rural white affairs. This morning we have searched the spirit hall, and we have not found anything suspected of signature or seal."

Mu Yi Ran: "this shows that the spirit hall is not the main body that this painting wants to highlight."

Ke Xun: "in addition to the spirit hall, the more suspicious place is the cemetery just now."

Mu Yi Ran: "I have seen it. There is nothing suspicious."

Kexun: is it in the old man's room

After all, it's very unlikely that you will be found in the bottom of the test paper once and for all

Ke Xun: "this kind of good thing never falls on me, pass. It's not a funeral hall, it's not a cemetery, it's not an old man's house. Where else can it be? It's a wilderness all around, and there's nothing to stand out from. "

Mu Yi Ran: "the prominent place in the picture is not necessarily the place with profound painting meaning."

Kexun raised his hand and pointed to the front: "can it be the three locust trees?"

Outside Li's courtyard, in the north direction, there are three old locust trees.

Mu Yi Ran's eyes flashed slightly: "according to the custom in some areas, Sophora japonica belongs to the shade wood, which is called the ghost in the wood, and should not be planted near the sun house. In fact, the ancients were more fond of the pagoda tree. For example, the word "Huaiding" refers to the position of Sangong, and "Huaichen" refers to the emperor's palace. In some places, the pagoda tree is a symbol of auspiciousness. "

Ke Xun scratched his head: "so this family is planting three locust trees for promotion and wealth? It makes sense

Wei Dong: "let me plug in. I think there is a mistake in your thinking. Although the world in this painting is also a world, it is "painting" first and then "world". Even if it is a real-world scene, you should also know that an artistic work needs artistic processing. Unless the painting is a surrealist painting, in order to pursue the artistic effect, it is bound to make some artistic modifications to the picture. "

Seeing Mu Yi's eyes looking at Weidong, Ke Xun explained: "Dongzi is an art worker, and it is also a bit of art."

"So in your opinion, where are the decorations added for artistic effect?" Mu Yi Ran asked Wei Dong.

"Trees." Wei Dong pointed to the three old locust trees. "As you said just now, some places think that the locust tree is not auspicious, while others think it is auspicious. This is the situation in reality. But if it is used in painting, I don't think the painter needs to consider the different customs of each area. He just needs to match the details according to the content of the painting.

"You see, why don't these three locust trees be planted elsewhere, but they should be planted next to the Li family's house with a funeral hall? If the locust tree here means promotion and wealth, don't you think it's against the law to plant it next to Li's house?

"If you look at this tree, even if it really has auspicious meaning in this place, it will not be highlighted in the whole picture. Otherwise, it will conflict with the theme of the white matter. If it is necessary to draw it in order to be realistic, one tree is enough. Why draw three trees?

"Obviously, to draw three trees is to highlight, to render, and even to metaphor.

"Do you continue to see the shapes of these three trees? They are very strange and look like normal trees? Of course, it's not impossible for wild trees to look ugly. But why don't the painters paint according to the normal state of the trees, but rather paint them in an abnormal way?

"Obviously × 2, such painting is for artistic rendering or metaphor. Since it is artistic rendering, it is impossible to render its auspicious meaning, so it can only be another meaning."

“…… Yin wood, the ghost in the wood. " Kexun said.

Mu Yi Ran was thoughtful and looked up at the three old locust trees.

"No matter what the meaning is, we have to search for it." Kexun was an activist, and he strode to the three locust trees.When I got closer, I found that the three locust trees were much bigger and frightening than when I stood in the distance. Originally, they should have been gray brown bark. I don't know that they were still smoked by the kitchen of Li's house because of the ash falling all the year round. At the moment, they are in the color of black ash, and they are pressing heavily on the top of their heads.

"The tree is too high. Is it more than 20 meters by sight?" Wei Dong looked up and said, "how can I find it?"

Mu Yi Ran also raised his head and looked around, as if he was trying to find a way. However, Ke Xun didn't say a word. He rolled up his sleeve, went to the tree, and jumped up, holding the trunk of the tree with both hands. In a flash, the monkey like miso had already reached half of the tree.

"Let's know about the top students of tree climbing in the Department of physical education." Wei Dong gives Mu Yi ran an Li's birth to the small, always let the big man believe that his little brother didn't receive in vain.

Mu Yi Ran glanced at him lightly and stepped under the tree. Suddenly, he stretched out his arm. His movements were light and dexterous. He even climbed up the tree in an instant.

“……” Weidong was stunned and looked up at Kexun, who was about to climb to the top: brother, I can only help you get here.

Kexun was not surprised that Mu Yi Ran could climb trees. He pressed his two down strokes last night and knew that he was a practitioner.

"You won't enjoy happiness when you see it," said Kexun, sitting on the branch of the tree, waiting for the herdsman to climb up. "What are you doing when you are asked by your younger brother?"

Mu Yi Ran stood up and looked down at him: "who will put his life in the hands of a younger brother."

“…… You're good-looking, you're right. " Kexun also stood up, "then I try hard to promote from younger brother to confidant."

Mu Yi was too lazy to pay attention to him and began to shuttle between the branches.

Kexun bowed his head and called out to the tree: "Dongzi, look for it below. Don't let go of the bark and root."

"Don't worry about it," Weidong's voice came up from below. "Our artists are good at handling details, and we must not miss a pixel."

A Sophora tree also had hundreds of branches at least. Ke Xun followed Mu Yi to search for the roots. After a few hours, he saw a faint flower in front of him.

"It's too abnormal," Kexun gasped, leaning against the tree trunk. "If the seal or signature is the size of a needle nose, which life will he have to find?"

"There won't be such a situation," Mu Yi Ran also stopped to rest. "As I have said before, there is no need for the world in the painting to set us tasks that we can't accomplish. Otherwise, it's meaningless. Just kill us."

"Now how to find it, there must be a point." Ke Xun looked around, "this tree is really ugly. Look at the gall knot of the tree, it looks like that..."

"Grimace?" It's a natural interface.

Kexun felt his hair on his arm.

Mu Yi Ran said: "in ancient times, it is said that locust tree has heavy Yin Qi. After a long time, it will produce a grimace on the tree. And as the tree grows older, the more grimaces there are on the tree, and the more grimaces there are, the more Yin Qi there is."

After hearing the words, Ke Xun looked around again and suddenly got goose bumps all over his body. The tree bodies and branches of the three trees were covered with grimaces!

If you take a closer look at the shapes of these faces, you can see that they are like real people's faces. They have all kinds of facial features and vivid expressions. Some are adults, some are children, some are old people, some are confused, some are crying, some are frightened, some are twisted because of pain, some are full of malicious and laughing

The texture of the bark made these faces even more grotesque and ferocious. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind rushed through the tips. On these thousands of faces, the mouths formed by the large and small tree holes made a sound like crying and laughing, fluctuating up and down, varying from far to near.

Hearing his scalp numb, Ke Xun hesitated to ask Mu Yi Ran: "you say That signature or seal will not In the mouth of these faces... "

"Not without this possibility." Mu Yi Ran had no expression.

"I'll go What if I reach in and get bitten off by this mouth? " Asked Ke Xun.

"I know a doctor in charge of a good hospital. I can introduce him to you." Mu Yi Ran light answer.

“……” Ke Xun sighed, "even if there is no problem with the grimaces, the faces on the three trees will add up to hundreds. When can they be pulled out one by one?"

Mu Yi Ran droops eyes: "call other people to look for together."

"Is that all right?" Kexun asked, "can't anyone find it and leave quietly?"

"If someone finds the seal in another place alone, he may leave by himself," Mu Yi Ran said. "But if he disappears here in full view of the public, other people will know where the seal is."

"Well, let's go and get the others," said Kexun, shaking his tired arm and lifting his eyes. "Have you noticed that the sky seems darker than before? It's midday, and it's already evening. "

"It's going to rain." Mu Yi Ran also looked at the sky with dark clouds in the distance, and suddenly his voice was tight, "that pure cypress coffin!"

Kexun was stunned for a moment, and then he responded: "pure cypress will be struck by heaven and thunder!"Seeing Mu Yi's face sinking, Ke Xun asked him tentatively, "what will happen if the coffin is split by thunder?"

Mu Yi Ran looked at him darkly: "feigning corpse."
