Well of Mystery

"...Brother Zheng."

Contrary to the man's surprise, although Su Zi responded, she acted a little alienated.

"You guys know each other?" Jiang Chenglu asked curiously.

"Yeah, old acquaintance."

The man reluctantly moved his eyes away from Su Zi, and looked at Bai Xiuqi again: "This is our great painter, right? The person who can conquer Jiang Chenglu is really not an ordinary person. Your works are impressive. , I can’t help but want to collect them all.”

"Hi, it's the first time we meet, thank you for your compliment."

Bai Xiuqi stretched out his hand towards the man, and at the same time winked at Jiang Chenglu.Jiang Chenglu immediately introduced that this handsome man named Zheng Chuchen was a venture capitalist and one of the sponsors of the Six Realms Committee.

The Committee of the Six Realms... Bai Xiuqi quickly searched for this name in his mind, and the answer quickly popped up.

The six worlds: immortals, demons, humans, ghosts, gods, and demons.The Six Realms Committee, as the name suggests, is an intermediary role that walks among the sentient beings of the six realms and coordinates with each other.

It does sound mysterious and great, but in fact it is not the case. Regardless of the fact that the gods and demons have quietly disappeared for thousands of years, both gods and demons have already become legends; now even the entrance to the fairy world has been locked, and the power of goblins and ghosts has declined. , the so-called six realms, in fact, there are only two realms left, human and ghost.

It's just that the Human and Ghost Committee sounds no different from the civil servants of the underworld. In order to look good on the business card, the founder gritted his teeth and set a fake title.

Therefore, the so-called "Six Realms Committee" is nothing more than a neighborhood committee headquartered in the human world to deal with all kinds of disputes between humans, ghosts and monsters.

Think here.Bai Xiuqi felt a little funny in his heart.However, what Jiang Chenglu said next shocked him.

"Chuchen is an immortal, a living immortal!"

Bai Xiuqi has already seen three of them, humans, ghosts, and demons. It stands to reason that there is nothing to make a fuss about seeing immortals descending from the earth.But the legendary creature was so close, Bai Xiuqi still wanted to pinch Jiang Chenglu's arm to see if he was dreaming.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Seeing Bai Xiuqi, she was taken aback.Jiang Chenglu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him.

Bai Xiuqi smiled and said, "I'm thinking that you are the rarer one. It's more rare for immortals."

Jiang Chenglu shyly said, "Don't say that, shouldn't I be unique in your eyes?"

The corners of Bai Xiuqi's mouth twitched twice, and he finally persuaded himself not to continue arguing with him.

Zheng Chuchen laughed when he saw it: "You two have such a good relationship."

"A friend in need is a friend indeed." Jiang Chenglu replied proudly.Then he looked at Su Zi again: "Have you not asked this person yet?"

"I don't dare to ask for advice." Su Zi quickly introduced herself: "I'm just an unknown person who was lucky enough to cultivate the body of a ghost fairy... In today's words, I am a little dick in the ghost world."

"How can you be a nobody?"

Zheng Chuchen suddenly interrupted Su Zi's self-mockery: "Based on your morality, how many more senior ghosts and immortals are there in this world than you? You have been with me for so long, and this alone is better than thousands of ghosts in this world. Thousands of others."

What's happening here?Could it be that this fairy is still an old lover?

Bai Xiuqi glanced at Jiang Chenglu.The latter also looked puzzled.

And Zheng Chuchen had temporarily forgotten the two of them, and only focused on looking at Su Zi in front of him: "Ah Zi, where do you live now? Why are you dressed in such rags? Why don't you come and ask me when you are short of money..."

"Thank you Brother Zheng for your concern."

The young man in purple interrupted the man's questioning, with a flat expression: "Brilliant clothes and fine food are just an appearance. There are always times when I get bored. Now I have no worries about food and clothing, and live a peaceful life. It really can't be better. Please Brother Zheng, don't worry about me."

Having said that, he smiled at Bai Xiuqi again: "It's getting late, I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first. Nice to meet you. Goodbye."

After saying this, he waved his hand and walked towards the emergency exit.

Jiang Chenglu asked Zheng Chuchen, "Aren't you going after him?"

"No." Zheng Chuchen shook his head: "If he wants to leave, no one can keep him."

Bai Xiuqi asked more bluntly: "Do you like him?"

"Heh..." Zheng Chuchen smiled wryly, "At the beginning, an old friend entrusted him to me, that was already 2000 years ago."

Seeing that he answered irrelevant questions, one knew that the inside story must be very complicated.Bai Xiuqi had no intention of prying into other people's privacy, so she didn't ask any further.

Instead, Jiang Chenglu talked about his acquaintance with Zheng Chuchen - it turned out that they met in a paradoxical case many years ago, and they could be regarded as friends in need.

After all, the art museum is not a place to talk, so Zheng Chuchen suggested: "Go out in the afternoon and find a place to catch up on the old days, and I will treat you."

Of course Jiang Chenglu nodded and said yes, but Bai Xiuqi looked down at the time on the phone, showing a sorry expression: "It happens that there is a mural exhibition next door, I have waited for a long time to come here. You can have a good chat in the afternoon, after you finish watching it Come find you again."

Jiang Chenglu didn't think much, just nodded and agreed; Zheng Chuchen patted Jiang Chenglu's shoulder, and smiled at Bai Xiuqi: "Then this afternoon, I will borrow this guy first."

Walk out of the art gallery where the exhibition is located, and walk 100 meters west to the city's museum.Huge exhibition posters hang on huge glass walls three stories high.

"Exhibition of Fine Murals in Tailing Underground Palace"

That's right, this is the exhibition.

Bai Xiuqi's mood suddenly jumped up - Tailing is the tomb of Jiang Han, the leader of ZTE in the Zhang Dynasty more than two thousand years ago.The tomb was once robbed by the invaders during the Anti-Japanese War, and the tomb was basically looted, and the whereabouts of the treasures are unknown; only the exquisite walls in the tomb survived, which are now strictly preserved, and all viewing and copying are prohibited.

However, more than a year ago, there was news about the treasures of the Tailing Mausoleum—someone found dozens of huge wooden boxes in an "abandoned shipyard warehouse during World War II". After opening, a large number of Japanese soldiers looted Cultural relics, among them are the treasures of the Tailing Mausoleum.

Of course, the above is just information released by the media.The truth of the matter is, all these treasures.They were all found on the ghost ship on Liuli Island.

In any case, the return of Chongbao aroused the public's enthusiasm for Tailing.It is on this basis that the National Mural Exhibition came into being. Although the fragile murals themselves are immovable cultural relics, the murals carefully reproduced by the mural masters of the Tailing Research Institute still have extremely high artistic value.

As a painter, Bai Xiuqi can only appreciate these works of art on a flat surface.There is such a good opportunity now.Of course he didn't want to let it go.

The temporary exhibition hall is located on the basement floor of the museum, perhaps because there is no special publicity, so it seems empty.Even the ticket inspectors dozed off.

Bai Xiuqi unconsciously lightened his steps, passed the ticket gate, and felt a cold chill mixed with a faint musty smell blowing towards his face.

"It's so ghostly." Bai Xiuqi turned up the collar of his windbreaker, feeling a little nervous.

As with all heritage exhibits.At the entrance of the exhibition area is a tree with a preface to the exhibition, which briefly describes the life of the owner of the Tailing Mausoleum——

Jiang Han was a very accomplished monarch during his lifetime.He used to be a hostage in the enemy country when he was young. After his father died, he secretly returned to the country under the guard of the dead to succeed him as king.Because of his bravery and courage, he was soon promoted by You Guogong as the leader of the alliance.thereafter.Zhang Guo expanded wantonly, and finally built a peaceful and prosperous world after wars.Because Jiang Han did not change the dynasty, he was enshrined as the master of ZTE in Zhang Dynasty.

Scan these texts in a hurry.Bai Xiuqi couldn't wait to walk in.The first thing that appeared in front of us was the miniature model of the Tailing Mausoleum and the mausoleum area.

The Tailing Mausoleum is only a part of the tomb complex of the Zhang Dynasty Emperor.The burial group is located in a gentle river valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.There are nearly 6 mausoleums of 10 emperors, 500 queens, concubines, clans, princes, princes, and grandsons of the Zhang Kingdom.It can be said that every inch of land is expensive, and there are cultural relics everywhere.

However, adhering to the purpose of "protective excavation", only Jiang Han's Tailing tomb has been excavated, and other tombs are still in a state of mystery.

Bypassing the imperial mausoleum model, the mural exhibition has officially begun.Since the exhibition area is completely arranged according to the proportion of the tomb, what appears in front of Bai Xiuqi at this moment is the passage leading to the "underground world"——

On the walls on both sides of the sunken steps, the murals on both sides of the tomb passage are reproduced.The huge black dragon stretched its huge body, leading the chariots and horses with banners and banners to line up.The motorcade is surrounded by the princes and nobles on the treasure chariot, the feathers are flying in the sky, the petals are falling, and the towers in the distance are majestic and auspicious. The whole scene is grand and spectacular.

This is the so-called royal weather bar.

Bai Xiuqi suppressed the excitement in his heart, and walked slowly while watching.Can't bear to let go of any detail.Seeing the wonderful place, I couldn't help but take out a pen and paper to draw a sketch.

As he walked and looked at it like this, all kinds of exquisite murals seemed to be endless, such as the tower, maids, hunting, night banquet... all kinds of vivid pictures are simply dazzling.

In this way, Bai Xiuqi finally came to the "main tomb" without knowing how long it took.

This is the largest exhibition hall in the entire exhibition area. Jiang Han's tall stone coffin model is placed on the high platform in the center, and the coffin is covered with exquisite reliefs and paintings.It complements the murals on the four walls.

Really immersive feeling...

Bai Xiuqi sighed in his heart, looked around again, and suddenly took a breath.

There are other people in the "main tomb"!

That person was far away from him, almost on the diagonal of the exhibition hall.There is a coffin in the middle to block it, so it was not discovered in the first place.

However, when he calmed down, Bai Xiuqi soon realized that he and this person had just met a few hours ago.

It was Su Zi.

ps: I would like to give a suggestion to new readers, please read "The Unbearable Lantern" before watching the story of this one, because the unbearable lantern is set as a prequel that happened 2000 years ago, after reading it, you can understand it better Su Zi's past.

Zheng Chuchen is not son Han, hahaha, I believe everyone already knows it.
