Chapter 68 "Nine Phase Map"
This is the second time he saw the statue of "Yan" in the winter night. The first time he saw this strange statue in the world where the "Doom Copy" is located.
Last time, the statue gave him an evil fallen organ called "Wings of Black He" and also conveyed some secret information and information.
"In addition to a single person locked up in Chang Ye's secret room, there is such a thing?"
Zhikura Tooya was secretly surprised. He stared at the statue in Kiryu Minzuki's hand, realizing that the thing was exactly the same as the statue he had come into contact with in the dungeon in terms of appearance, color and size.
"I said...what are you holding?"
Du Ruoyou frowned. He noticed that Kiryu Nanyue was still holding something in her hand, and there was a hint of doubt in her eyes.
"A statue I just picked up is on the shelf in this room, and the shape is a bit cute."
She looked at the statue in her hand and made surprising remarks.
"Look, are you a little cute?"
(Where is cute? Where is cute?)
Zhikura Tomoya looked at the statue in her hand, her eyebrows were twitching. This statue with strange style and twisted lines would not make people feel cute.
"That may be evidence, Miss Kiryu, please don't move around, okay?"
Du Ruoyou spoke quickly.
"Miss Nanyue, please pay attention."
Horiizumi Yuki reminded her in displeasure.
"Also, that thing looks ugly and not cute at all."
"Is that so, sorry, I'm too rude... To express my apology, I'll die now."
She took out the small bottle with "sleeping pills" written from her pocket, raised her head and poured it into her mouth, as if she wanted to take the medicine and commit suicide.
The next second, with a "swoosh" sound, another chopstick flew out of the air, and the medicine bottle was flew, and the pills were scattered all over the floor.
"I'll say, Miss Kiryu."
The senior sister put her waist on one hand and sighed again.
"Every time, every time I have to stop me, I will be tired. If you can stop trying to commit suicide, I will be very grateful to you!"
"I'm so embarrassed. I feel that I will cause trouble for Miss Xiqizi every time. As an adult, I really don't use it... I'm so embarrassed to think about it like this. Can I jump off the building and die?"
"No, too, please give me this too."
Senior Horizumi came over and took the statue out of her hand. Kiryu Minzuki did not resist. She just raised her eyes gloomyly and looked at the shelf-like cabinet with half-closed eyes.
"Do you think this cabinet is a bit weird? Why is it placed in this position specifically..."
she asked suspiciously.
The next moment, Kiryu Nanyue suddenly reached out and grabbed the edge of the heavy-looking solid wood bookshelf. The bookshelf was used as a shelf, with a lot of garbage and debris piled on it. It felt that adult men might not be able to move it easily.
But she, born as the "Sheath Lord", gently grabbed a corner with her hand, lifted the bookshelf and moved the position.
"Hey? What is this?"
The first person to notice the strangeness on the wall was Du Ruoyou. With his reminder, the others present also noticed the "thing" that appeared on the wall.
"painting?"
Horiizumi Yuki's eyes widened and her mouth was tightly closed in a shape.
"It's indeed a painting...but, this should be an ancient painting, right?"
Du Ruo looked up and down.
"Well, it's a Han painting, the materials are made of silk, and the style is like a work of the Kano School--"
Kiryu Minamitsu raised his chin and observed the painting with a calm look.
"It's a bit strange... Could this painting be "Nine Phases Pictures", but there is only one of them here, and it should have been cut part of it. Who would do this purpose..."
"Miss Kiryu, you wouldn't know the origin of this painting, right?"
Du Ruo stared at Kiryu Nanyue.
"It's nothing. I took the history of art in college. Although my grades were mediocre, I wrote a lot of reports."
Kiryu Nanyue turned her face and replied in a plain tone: "This painting is called "Nine Phases Picture", which is a painting with the theme of "Nine Thoughts" in Buddhism. The theme of the painting is to explain the changes and impermanence of the world through the nine forms of corpses after death, so as to draw the truth that those who are prosperous will decline and those who are life and death will be impermanent..."
Everyone's eyes turned to the silk painting on the wall. The painting was obviously cut down. After special mounting, it was hung on the wall. The silk painting painted a highly rotten corpse with pus and blood everywhere.
"This style...is really scary?"
Senior Horiizumi had some eyebrows, which was obviously uncomfortable.
"This is one of the nine phases' 'blood-painting'. This "Nine Phases Picture" seems to be based on Ono Komachi, one of the 'Six Song Fairies' in the Heian era. Legend has it that Ono Komachi is a peerless beauty. She was famous for her unparalleled beauty during her lifetime and was famous for her talent and elegance. At that time, countless noble children fell to her pomegranate skirt."
Kiryu Nanyue pressed her finger against her chin, thought for a while, and said, "It is rumored that there was even a Major General named Shimoku who wrote countless love letters to kiss her. In order to tease him, Komachi asked him to visit his residence every night, claiming that this was a 'Hundred Night Visit'."
"Kocho told Fukusa that only if he successfully visited him for one hundred consecutive days, he would accept his love. Major General Fukusa kept his promise and came to Ono Kocho's residence to visit her every night regardless of wind and rain."
"In this way, ninety-nine nights passed. On the last night, Major General Kura was exhausted and fell in front of Ono Komachi's door and died. It is also possible that because Ono Komachi has such a famous deed, many people who painted the "Nine-Phase Picture" regard this beauty as the subject of the painting. Sometimes it is a troublesome for women to be too beautiful..."
Listening to this, isn’t this Dark Grass Major General just a big dog licking? It turns out that the profession of dog licking has existed since ancient times?
Zhicang Dongye woke up after listening to it.
Good! It’s true that licking dogs has never been able to house since ancient times!
"Everyone, this "Nine Phases Picture" is a bit inappropriate..."
The bald monk who had been silent suddenly frowned and spoke, and he whispered: "For some reason, this painting gives people an ominous atmosphere. You'd better not keep watching it anymore."
"Why?"
Du Ruo was very puzzled.
“Because it’s very likely to be a ‘tag’.”
The bald monk replied lightly.
"Things that are unknown, cannot be said, cannot be explored, cannot be touched. This thing may be a 'tat thing' or a part of the taboo. I suggest that this thing be handed over to our Sangha Academy for processing."
Is this monk talking nonsense? I didn’t notice anything special about this painting using “ghost sight”?
Zhicang Dongye became suspicious in his heart. He thought to himself that this monk could see that this ancient painting was very precious and was trying to lose it.
(No, we can't judge a gentleman completely by the heart of a villain. Maybe what the monk said is true. My "ghost vision" power is not perfect. Why don't you find an opportunity to take the painting over and take a look at it...)
He did have this idea, but compared to this "Nine-Phase Picture", he is more concerned about the statue in Horiizumi Kyuko's hand because he is very sure that it is probably the statue of "Yan". If he comes into contact with that thing, he should bring himself some kind of "gift" - but that can really be regarded as a "gift" rather than some kind of curse that hides danger.
"Senior sister, can you show me that statue?"
While the few people who entered here were all focused on "Nine Phases Pictures", Chikura Tooya touched Horizumi and suggested to her.
"Hey? Junior brother, why do you want this?"
Horiizumi Kazuko was obviously like everyone else, and she didn't know the origin of the statue, so their focus did not fall on this statue. Yakura Tomoya knew that this was a good opportunity.
"My 'ghost sight' seems to have reacted to this thing, and I want to take it and check it out."
"All right!"
Horizumi did not arouse suspicion and handed over the small statue directly.
Chapter completed!
