Paintings of Terror - Chapter 323

The world where he lives is vast and empty, and it seems that only these three directions can go.

Gray, silver and blood red are like three multiple-choice questions about color.

In the gray world, there are a group of men who are doing secret livelihoods; the silver world is very dazzling, but only a tree can be seen vaguely; the blood red world is terrible and prohibitive.

The two girls gave up the blood red option in their hearts.

“These three directions may not necessarily be a single choice question.” Gu Qingqing said.

“Can we still enter two worlds at once?” Wu You didn’t understand.

“Maybe the option we eliminated this time will appear next time.” Gu Qingqing said of his analysis.

And next time?

Wu You put away his stunned expression and silently looked at his phone: “It has been an hour and a half, let’s hurry up.”

“In this way, let’s make a rough analysis.” Gu Qingqing stared at the gray and silver sky. “According to what you just described, people in the gray world are doing things that “do not want to be discovered by others”. We suddenly broke in. It’s not what they can accept; and in the silver world, one can only vaguely see a tree, at least not seeing other dangers.”

“I am also more inclined to this world.” Wu You looked there, the silver world was still dazzling, and the huge tree shadow was a bit gorgeous.

The two couldn’t analyze any more clues, so they stepped towards the silver direction.

The cowhide pocket on Wu You’s body is very large, and the hourglass filled with golden sand shows nothing in it.

“This cowhide pocket obviously can hold more than an hourglass.” Gu Qingqing said, “If the world of quicksand we have just experienced is the first world, then we have successfully obtained something from this world, which is the golden hourglass; the second The world is facing a three-choice one question. We probably also need to get something in a cowhide pocket from the second world to be successful. I think that each world cannot be established on its own. There should be Connected.”

“You mean that the second thing may have something to do with the golden hourglass?”

Gu Qingqing nodded: “It should be related, but the golden hourglass has many characteristics. It is difficult to tell which point of the golden hourglass is related to the second thing, whether it is sand, gold, or the time represented by the hourglass, or the speciality of the hourglass. shape.

“What is even more puzzling is that we have not grasped the characteristics of these three worlds that can be spied on. At present, we only know that the final rectangular square in the gray world is very important, but we do not know what they are; The tree in the silver world is just a huge shadow; as for the blood red world…”

When Gu Qingqing said this, he found that Wu You, who was with him, stopped and turned to look in the blood red direction with a slightly stiff posture.

Gu Qingqing wanted to go over and hold the other’s hand, but was afraid of frightening her suddenly, so she could only silently stop and wait.

Wu You looked at it for a while before taking his gaze back: “This world has also frozen, turning into some red stone mountains. That is a distant view. If you look closely, the red on the mountain is all the blood of the ghosts just now.”

It still sounds scary.

Gu Qingqing couldn’t figure it out for a while, and the two girls stood shoulder to shoulder, unanimously continuing to march towards the silver world.

After walking for a while, Gu Qingqing also felt the silver light, white and bright, but not dazzling. It can even be said that the luster is inexplicable joy.

“It’s weird. I can’t see that tree as I walked. Obviously I saw a big shadow of a tree in the distance just now.” Wu You turned around in place, and the two of them had been gleamed with glittering silver. Surrounded by light spots.

“Did you hear any noise? Ding ding dong dong dong.” Gu Qingqing asked.

“I heard it, it’s like a wind chime,” Wu You felt that the ding-dong sound came from above, and there seemed to be some peculiar sounds of running water around him. “There seems to be a small fountain nearby.”

“I think it’s more like the sound of pouring water or wine from a pot into a glass.” At this point, Gu Qingqing stood still and cautiously held Wu You, “We should have completely entered this world. It’s just that I can’t see the surrounding scenery for the time being.”

After hearing this, Wu You also stood there not daring to act rashly, and subconsciously protected the cowhide pocket on his chest.

Looking closely, they were surrounded by translucent silver light spots, and these light spots gradually disappeared from large to small.

The close-up scenery around him also gradually became clear, and the two finally saw clearly. There really was a “fountain” here-the sudden appearance of the fountain shape made them both startled.

This is a lion no different from its physical size. The lion’s body is all brilliant silver. From the open silver mouth, a white milky liquid flows out and poured into the silver pool below.

This is a lifelike lion carved from silver.

After confirming that this lion is indeed a sculpture, Wu Youcai boldly approached, and even looked closely at the milk in the lion’s mouth with probing eyes: “What are these white things? It smells especially like Mongolia. Kind of mare cumin.”

Gu Qingqing stood intently, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Why does the lion’s mouth come out of mare’s milk wine? What is this place?” Although Wu You didn’t understand, he subconsciously felt that this silver lion was just a dust in this luxurious world.

Gu Qingqing touched her hair, untied a hair tie used to tie her hair, squatted down, and tied it to the silver lion’s left front foot.

“Qingqing, what are you doing?”

“I seem to have seen the record about this silver lion. In order to test my judgment, we can continue to move forward. If my guess is good, there should be other silver lions here.” Gu Qingqing said.

“Go ahead, there is silver light everywhere here, where is the front?”

“Go around the circle, we walked into a big circle.” Gu Qingqing walked forward along the direction the lion’s head was facing.

Sure enough, after the two of them walked dozens of steps, they saw the same silver lion. There was no hair band on the lion’s feet.

The white milk was still flowing out of the lion’s mouth, and the drink Wu You called “horse milk wine” now emits a seductive fragrance.

The two went on, and then they met the third and fourth silver lion. When they met the fifth silver lion, they found that the lion’s left forefoot was wrapped in a bean paste-colored hairband— —The hair band that Gu Qingqing wore here before.

This silver lion was the one they saw when they first came to this world.

The two made a circle and returned to the origin.

“That is to say, there are a total of four silver lions in this place.” Wu You looked at the world that gradually became clear around him, and found that these four silver lions were like guardians, guarding the treasure in the center.

The silver color of the whole world seemed to be from this treasure. Although Wu You still couldn’t see the panorama, the more this kind of blind people touched the elephant, the easier it was to surprise and admire people.

“What the **** are these four silver lions vomiting out of their mouths?” Wu You questioned again.

Gu Qingqing stood beside the treasure and tried to look up, but his eyesight was limited by the silver light, and he still couldn’t see the whole picture.

Gu Qingqing said: “What you said before is good, these silver lions should be the horse’s milk.”

“Why do lions spit out mare’s milk? It’s weird.”

“It’s not just horse milk. If we go to the center, we should see four golden snakes. 4 different drinks will flow out of their mouths, including horse milk, rice wine, and honey…”

Wu You: “…Is this asking us to come here for a drink…”

Gu Qingqing: “Remember the shadow of the tree you saw from the silver sky?”

“Yes, but the tree disappeared as I walked.”

“We are under that tree now.”

Wu You was taken aback when he heard the words. He took the courage to walk towards the center and stretched out his hand to the bright silver area in the center: “Oh my God, really, I touched the bark. It’s a real texture! But it’s different from a real tree.”

“Because this is a giant tree made of pure silver.”

Wu You looked down and saw that there was a large silver basin not far away from him, with a small trickle on it, which just poured into the silver basin.

Wu You sniffed: “Qingqing, you are right, this is honey!”

I don’t know whether it was because the two recognized the silver tree, or because the silver fog around it would dissipate in a certain period of time. Now the world is gradually becoming clearer.

This silver tree is also able to show its full picture. The trunk that needs more than a dozen people to enclose it has a shining and strong main trunk, as well as bright and shiny branches, especially the leaves and fruits carved in silver. It feels like a dream.

“Did you hear the sound of music?” Gu Qingqing said.

“Yes, it was the sound of Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding Dong Dong, now the sound is getting closer.

“Did you hear the trumpet inside?”

“What’s the sound of the trumpet…” Wu You said as he raised his head and looked up, he could see what was on the tree and couldn’t help screaming.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Qingqing’s eyesight is not as good as Wu You’s, and she can’t see clearly at this time.

Wu You stepped back a few steps, his voice trembling: “There is a person on the tree! A silver person! I don’t know if it is alive or dead…”

Gu Qingqing was stunned when he heard the words, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, “Let’s see if that person has wings?”

Wu You squinted his eyes and looked at it again: “Yes… it has wings, it seems to be holding something…”

Gu Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief: “Don’t be afraid, it is a silver angel playing the trumpet! It is also a decoration on this silver tree.”

Wu You then let go of his courage and looked up: “That’s really true. He’s a bare-bottomed kid with wings and blowing a trumpet.”

Gu Qingqing: That’s not a trumpet, it’s a trumpet.

“This silver tree is too luxurious! Who built it? What place is it? What book records it?” Wu You was completely curious about this unprecedented luxury scene Xin, “Although I don’t learn history well, such a luxurious tree with such a moat should be famous in history!”

Whenever Gu Qingqing spread knowledge to friends, his attitude was very pious and serious: “This is Mongolia, to be precise the court of the Mongolian Great Khan. The tree is built by a gold and silversmith from Paris. About these things I read the record of “Eastern Travel Notes” from a book.

“This book was written by a missionary named Rubruck. In 1253, Rubruck was sent to Mongolia by the order of Pope Innocent IV and King Louis IX. He arrived in the Mongolian court and was influenced by the Mongolian state. Mengge Khan’s interview. Rubrook wrote a book about what he saw and heard in Mongolia. This silver tree is mentioned in the book by Rubrook.”

Wu You listened carefully to every word of Gu Qingqing. Although this historical knowledge was very unfamiliar to him, the situation at this time could not allow anyone to distract himself. Wu You quickly digested the content and asked: “Then Rubrook’s mission was successful?”

According to today’s situation, obviously not.

“Meng Ge Khan’s polite but sharp response to Rubrook really made me see a kind of ancient Oriental wisdom.” Gu Qingqing carefully recalled the text that had been highlighted by herself–

“Meng Ge Khan said: Since God made our ten fingers stick out of different lengths, he must also allow us to have different ways of doing things. God gave you the “Bible”, can you read it in the “Bible” Should a believer blame others for their mistakes?”

Wu You was stunned.

“I don’t remember that clearly. It was probably this kind of response anyway. It was because I read “East Journey” that I became interested in that period of history, and then I went to read “The History of Chinese Christians”. “Discoverer” and many works of Mr. Li Jingze in my country.

“Actually, long before Rubrook, an emissary of the Pope of Rome came to the Mongolian court. This emissary faced the great sweat, and the great sweat directly returned to Pope Innocent IV. The letter, there is such words in the letter—you Western peoples, you think you are the only Christians. You humble other peoples, how can you know whom God should show mercy to.”

Wu You was completely stunned to hear it, and it took a long time to say: “This Mongolian great sweat said this in the letter, but then the missionary Lubruk went to the Mongolian court again after many years?”

“Yes, this kind of persistence is very admirable, so it was also treated by the Mongolian court. I remember that Mr. Li Jingze once called him ‘emerged with amazing paranoia and amazing courage’.” Gu Qingqing said.

“I suddenly remembered a painting that Ke Xun and the others had talked about before, called “Faith.” Will our world also have something to do with faith?”

The author has something to say:

Without a computer, I occasionally use mobile phone voice input.

As a result, Ke Xun is often heard as “science”. Yue Cen was heard as “Yuecheng” two days ago, and Gu Qingqing today is actually heard as “Goodevening.”…
