Chapter 75: Obsession with the Past (Part 2)

"Is there something wrong with the reading?" All the ghosts looked at Tang Jie in astonishment, wondering what he meant.

"Yes, we might as well try reading it backwards." Tang Jie said, "You can read it from the end first."

The ghosts followed the direction of his fingers and landed on the last part of the mural. Tang Jie's vivid words came to their ears:

"Picture 18. Although this painting shows a woman standing among a group of corpses, it looks like she killed countless people. But if you look at the picture carefully, you will find that in fact, all the people in this painting They all died of cold and hunger. You see, how miserable and haggard they died, all skinny and ragged. In fact, such people don't look like they belong to official families, but more like refugees in the wilderness. As for This woman, maybe... is just one of the refugees. However, due to various techniques, she seems to be free from the dust among the refugees. She faces the sky, maybe not crying in sorrow and indignation, but more likely in despair. "

"In the seventeenth picture, in a certain country, a couple is holding a wedding, and they agree to love each other and stay together for life."

"In the sixteenth picture, in the vast wilderness, the young girl was walking in the cold and hunger. She was tired and hungry, her strength gradually failed, and finally she couldn't support and fell to the ground. Fortunately, an immortal passed by here and saved her. She was rescued and brought back to the mountains to teach Dharma and skills... However, note that although this picture is read in reverse order, this picture takes place after the previous picture, but it does not mean that this picture must take place later than the previous picture. Late. On the contrary, this incident may have happened hundreds of years earlier than the previous picture, but because it is a mural, it is impossible to tell it in such detail."

"In the fifteenth picture, after experiencing the teachings of the immortal, this woman's cultivation has continued to improve. After all, she is indeed a genius. She quickly broke through to the spiritual consciousness stage, and is probably only one step away from the heart of heaven. Unfortunately, this is the only thing missing. One step at a time, she was still unable to successfully break through. She could only look at the sky speechlessly, feeling sad and angry... Don't wonder how I saw it. Didn't I see that there wasn't even a spirit ring on the painting? So at that time, she could only open it. Know the period.”

"After cultivators reach a certain level, they will enter the folk world, experience the hardships of the mortal world, the warmth and coldness of the world, comprehend life, and understand the Tao. This is also a common thing. So this girl finally decided to go down the mountain to experience something to improve herself. .”

Tang Jie's fingers fell on the tenth and fourth paintings: "It's because of his young age and inexperience that he ran into big trouble not long after he came down the mountain. No, he encountered a terrible monster. After a while She was fighting hard and couldn't help but, at this moment, a white-robed general suddenly came out to help her. Of course, it was also possible that it was the other way around, that the white-robed general encountered the monster, and she discovered it and came to rescue her. If you think about it carefully, the latter is more likely."

As he spoke, he turned back and glanced at the woman sitting on the seat. He saw that the woman had a gloomy face but said nothing.

“It’s interesting that it can still be interpreted this way.

"The other ghost kings finally saw some clues. Since it is a mural, many things actually need to be figured out by everyone. When Tang Jie told everyone that they can also look from the back to the front, many things immediately became different. .

Those who stand on the top of the mountain are not thinking about their deceased husband, but thinking about the way forward. Fighting together does not mean that they are husband and wife, but more likely to be strangers they meet by chance...

"Continue!" Wuxin Ghost King was already interested.

Tang Jie pointed to the next few pictures and said: "After that battle, the white-robed general left. The woman continued on her original path, acting chivalrously and righteously, and eliminating harm to the good. Of course, since we want to kill corrupt officials and get rid of bullies, She would inevitably provoke some big shots. No, it didn't take long for her to offend a high official. Maybe she killed one of the official's pets, or maybe she killed his illegitimate son who had done evil. In short, this The high official personally ordered the hunt for this woman. Although her cultivation was good, it was impossible for her to fight against the country. Moreover, the high official had hands and eyes that were all over the sky, and he had countless capable people. Even the immortal cultivators could invite some. The result was that After a series of hard fights, the girl was finally defeated and fled."

His finger fell on the ninth mural, and Tang Jie said: "On a cliff, this girl fought with the soldiers sent by the king. In that battle, the girl finally killed the pursuers and was seriously injured herself. But at that moment, the general gave up killing her and rescued her instead... Interesting, right? When we look at these paintings, we feel that this is a couple being hunted. But in fact , it was this general who was leading the troops to deal with her. Why am I so sure? Because you can see that the armors of the dead soldiers are clearly of the same style as the white-robed general, which means they are his direct troops! It’s just that in this painting I deliberately drew the general holding the woman in his arms, and then drew him yelling at the soldiers, so that I thought they were husband and wife fighting side by side. In fact, the real content of his yelling may be that he is heartbroken for his dead comrades."

"But no matter what, he didn't kill the girl in the end. Maybe it was because he remembered the scene when they fought the monster side by side, or maybe it was because of feelings, or for some other reason, I don't know, but anyway, what happened next The thing is..."

He points to the eighth mural.

In the mural, the woman is lying on the bed in a simple hut, being cared for by a man.

Tang Jie said leisurely: "If you are reading it right away, you can't explain why she was injured. Of course, this painting is very clever. It deliberately covers up the injury and makes people feel more like illness. But ordinary illness , there are no drugs like Shengji Powder available..."

Tang Jie's finger landed on a corner at the bottom of the mural, where a small packet of medicine could be seen. There are no words, but people who often use Shengji San can definitely tell that it is Shengji San.

All the information is inside, but it's cleverly hidden.

"So the next picture can be understood." Wuxin Ghost King pointed to the seventh picture and said: "That was not their meeting, but their difference. After taking care of this woman, the general left. "

"Yes, he did what he wanted to do and left. Perhaps in his mind, this was to make up for the favor she saved his life by killing the monster that day." Tang Jie said with a smile: "In short, he did He left after that. But he obviously didn't expect that just this period of care would plant feelings in the girl's heart. It's not surprising that a girl who has been training hard in the mountains all day long has not yet awakened her love. , suddenly there is such a handsome man serving tea and water to me, how could it not be brought to my heart?"

He sighed softly and looked at the next picture: "So after she recovered from her injury, she finally decided to find the man she liked and confess to him. She found it, but she didn't expect to see such a scene..."

In the sixth mural, the white-robed general is being supported by soldiers, with his beautiful wife beside him.

Then Tang Jie pointed to the fifth picture and sighed: "She went crazy all of a sudden. She was walking alone in the fields, not knowing what to do. During that time, she must have been very confused and hesitant. Of course, other than that, In addition, it also has a function, that is, it is used to transition between front and back. When we look at it from front to back, the painting naturally becomes a woman who goes out to find a husband. In fact, it is just a sad woman wandering in the wilderness. That’s all. If the painter didn’t have ulterior motives, there would be no need to draw it like this.”

Speaking of this, Tang Jie pointed to the fourth picture: "Shortly after that, the war broke out. I can't be sure whether it was a coincidence or a conspiracy. Anyway, the neighboring countries started to invade. At that time, the woman suddenly realized that if the man lost the war , he will definitely be punished. By then, he may no longer be a general, and no woman will be willing to follow him. By then, doesn’t this man belong to him? "

Tang Jie Youyou sighed: "This is a very scary idea, because she knows that once she does this, it means that many innocent people will die. But for her man, she can't help but not do it."

He pointed to the third picture: "So she really did that. After the war started, his beloved man went to the battlefield again and fought bloody battles. But no matter how brave he was, he was ultimately defeated. Of course, because of the secret protection of the woman , he was defeated but did not die. Despite this, he was still punished."

Tang Jie turned his attention to the second painting: "Look at this painting, what a wonderful misleading. It looks like a conscription, but in fact it is not a conscription order, but a reduction order. It is used to remove him from his official position and punish him. It's sinful. That's why yellow silk cloth was used. How could such a thing be used when waiting for a military conscription order? The Pegasus rider wears the clothes of the Huangmen servant. Hmm, this painting has the most flaws among all the paintings. Yes, after all, there are still many difficulties in replacing the conscription order with a dismissal order, but she still found a way to get over it."

As he spoke, Tang Jie pointed to the last and first mural, and laughed: "However, all disguises are most vividly reflected in this painting, and it is also the most laughable. Yes, this pastoral picture is not Fan Yunhai's The life before he became a general, but the life after he was demoted from a general to a commoner. The only thing that people didn't expect was that the daughter of a former official and a wealthy family did not abandon her husband, but went into seclusion with her husband. It’s pastoral!”

boom!

There was a sudden noise in the lobby.

The ghosts pointed at the mural and said, "You mean... the woman in this painting..."

Tang Jie smiled and said: "Yes, the woman in the first painting is not her at all, but the noble woman next to the general in the sixth painting. It's just that the painter used clothing, hair accessories, etc. It was cleverly confused, and finally a little painting technique was added to make us mistakenly think that the first woman in this painting is the main woman in the subsequent paintings. However, since it cannot be blatantly fake, this painting With the posture of leaning against the railing and looking at each other, only the profile was drawn. But if you look closely, you will find that this profile is actually very similar to the general's wife. Now think about it, the person who painted this painting must have been in a very deep mood. Don’t give in.”

As he spoke, he turned back to look at the woman sitting on the seat: "I wonder if there are any mistakes or omissions in my interpretation?"
