Jianbao life

Chapter 512 Red Dragon Figure
Back in the hotel room, Chu Chen immediately took out his things from the safe in the room.

Liu Sizhe asked for the note first, and after reading it, he sighed: "The opening steps are too troublesome. If there is no formula, I don't think there is any way to open this trick box."

After seeing it, other people sighed again and again. You must know that there are more than a dozen wooden boards on the box. Every time you open it, you have to move one of the wooden boards to a position, so there are many combinations of wooden boards. The key is that there are still 140 four This step, even if someone wants to crack it, there is no way to start.

After Liu Sizhe returned the note to Chu Chen, he said impatiently, "Brother Chen, open it quickly, I can't wait to find out what's inside!"
Chu Chen nodded with a smile. In fact, not only Liu Sizhe wanted to know, but he was also very much looking forward to whose masterpiece the work in the box was.So he immediately followed the formula on the note and began to operate step by step.

Chu Chen solved the mechanism while reading the formula. After nearly ten minutes, the opening of the mechanism box was finally coming to an end.In fact, with his memory, the formulas have already been memorized in his mind, it doesn't matter even if he doesn't read the note, but he doesn't want to pay too much attention, he thinks it's better to play a cover.

In the anticipation of everyone, Chu Chen opened the lid of the mechanism box, but to the surprise of the four people, there was actually a lid inside, and there was a keyhole on the lid, which was obviously still there. The matching key is required to open the lid.

Seeing this, Liu Sizhe said with a depressed face: "Why do you need a key? What can I do, can I brute force it?"
"Crack what!"

Chu Chen took out the key from his pocket with a smile, then inserted it into the keyhole, twisted it lightly, and only heard a "pop", the lock should have been opened.

Liu Sizhe said with a speechless expression: "Brother Chen, tell me as soon as you have the key, it made me a false alarm! But where did you get the key from?"

"Of course I got it with the note." Chu Chen replied while opening the lid of the box.

Upon hearing this, Liu Sizhe said in surprise, "No way, is that piece of pine flower inkstone hollow?"

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Of course it's hollow, otherwise where do you think things can be hidden?"

Opening the box, several silk bags filled with cotton and the like popped out, which immediately shocked everyone except Chu Chen. It was only after they found out that they were bags that they settled down.Immediately, everyone understood that the reason why there was no sound when shaking the box was probably because of these bags.

But everyone immediately put aside the matter of the bag. For them, the most important thing now is to know what is in the box.

Chu Chen took out the bags and found that there was something like a painting tube in the box. Afterwards, he opened the painting tube and took out a scroll with a width of about 25 centimeters.

It's just that the material of this calligraphy and painting scroll is a bit strange. It looks a bit like a silk book and a bit like hemp paper. Chu Chen has never seen such a paper before.And one thing that surprised him was that the scroll still looked very new, not at all like it had been for nearly 800 years.

Liu Sizhe rubbed his hands, and said excitedly: "It's so well done, it should be the work of a famous artist! Brother Chen, quickly open it and have a look, who the hell is the author!"

"You are the most impatient!" Wang Xiaoyue gave him a blank look, but seeing her expression, she was also very curious about this work.

Chu Chen put on his gloves and opened the scroll gently, but what he didn't expect was that he had just opened the scroll by about a quarter, when he was startled by what was drawn on the scroll.

Even Chu Chen's heart was taken aback, and one can imagine how other people would react.

I saw Liu Sizhe took a few steps back, pointed at the scroll, and shouted in fear, "Dragon! Dragon!"

The three girls were even more unbearable. Wu Ke hid directly behind Chu Chen, clutching Chu Chen's clothes tightly, trembling all over.The other two women were directly frightened by the content and sat down on the ground.

In fact, their performance is not surprising at all. Although there is only a dragon's head on the picture scroll, the artist's level is too high. Not to mention the lifelike painting of the dragon's head, and even Longwei's performance is vivid. .

When they saw this dragon head, it was as if they were facing a real dragon. How could this not scare them?
Chu Chen's heart trembled when he saw the dragon head, but with his heart, he immediately realized that there was nothing but a painting in front of him, so he immediately settled down.

Similarly, the others were not stupid. After a while, they all realized that the dragon head on the picture scroll was not real. This made them feel very surprised, but also felt a little embarrassed by their performance just now, Joe Qian and Wang Xiaoyue were even more ashamed.

Everyone settled down before looking at the scroll again. Although they had already prepared, when they saw the dragon's head again, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. It was hard for them to imagine which painter could draw the dragon head It is so beautifully drawn.

At this time, Liu Sizhe thought of a character in his memory, and said excitedly, "Is this Zhang Sengyou's work?"
"Who is Zhang Sengyou?" Wang Xiaoyue asked curiously.

Liu Sizhe explained: "Have you heard the story of painting the dragon's eye, the protagonist in it is the Zhang Sengyou I mentioned. Except for him, I really can't think of anyone who can draw the dragon so realistically."

The three women nodded repeatedly after hearing this, expressing their agreement.However, Chu Chen did not think that this work was painted by Zhang Sengyou. The reason is very simple. Zhang Sengyou was a figure in the Southern Dynasty, but this work was in the Three Kingdoms period. The difference between the two is nearly 300 years. , obviously the author is someone else.

He was also a painter from the Three Kingdoms period, and the dragons he painted were so realistic that Chu Chen immediately thought of a painter's name, Cao Buxing.

Cao Buxing, also known as Fuxing, was a famous painter during the Three Kingdoms period.Known as the "ancestor of Buddhist painting", he is the earliest legendary painter recorded in the literature.In addition to painting Buddha, he is also good at painting dragons, tigers and horses.

There is a record in Xie He's "Ancient Painting Records": "Cao Buxing, Sun Quan of the Five Dynasties of Wu Dynasty, Wu Xingren. The traces of Buxing will never be reproduced. There is only one dragon in the secret pavilion. Looking at its strength of character, its name is not in vain become!"

It can be seen from this that Cao Buxing's painting of dragons is indeed of a very high standard.

Of course, whether the author is Cao Buxing or not still requires real evidence.So Chu Chen then slowly opened the scroll.

This painting is very simple, it just draws a red dragon, but this dragon is portrayed in an extraordinary way, as if a real red dragon jumps out of the paper, and the appearance of flying through the clouds and fog is really unrestrained. Moreover, this dragon The strong dragon prestige on his body is also displayed, making people daunting.

Next, just as Chu Chen was about to open the last bit of the scroll, he suddenly heard a loud thunder outside the window, and then it began to rain heavily.

This situation surprised everyone, because it was too coincidental. The dragon on the picture scroll had just exposed its whole body, and then there was a thunderstorm. They really couldn't help them think about it.

Of course, this matter is too unreal after all, and everyone guessed it a little bit, and now it is located in Xiangjiang. Although thunderstorms are rare in winter, it is not without them. Therefore, they feel that the possibility of coincidence is still higher .

But the next scene was beyond their understanding. With the rain, there seemed to be a trace of mist on the scroll, and then the mist and the clouds around the red dragon merged into one, making those Clouds become as if they are real.

What shocked everyone even more was that the red dragon gradually seemed to become more three-dimensional, and finally it looked like a real dragon, roaming carefree among the clouds.

With this situation, everyone couldn't help being dumbfounded, their mouths opened wide, and they didn't know what to say when they looked at the picture scroll.

After a long time, the rain outside turned into a drizzle, and the clouds on the scroll began to gradually return to their original state, but at this moment, the red dragon seemed to have really passed the spirit, with a trace of dissatisfaction on his face, and he was nervous. Then he raised his head to the sky and groaned.

Although they knew that the Chilong did not and could not really make a sound, but Chu Chen and the others seemed to have heard the dragon's chant in their hearts, which brought them shock and shock, and made them unable to recover for a long time .

After a long time, the five people came to their senses one by one. Because Qiao Qian had never seen such a strange thing before, her face was full of disbelief, and she said dumbfounded, "This must be a hallucination, right?"

Wang Xiaoyue also had the same expression, holding Liu Sizhe's hand tightly, and asked, "Azhe, is this a hallucination?"
Liu Sizhe smiled bitterly: "This is not a novel, do you think there will be hallucinations that can affect the five of us?"

"Could it be true that what you saw just now?" Wang Xiaoyue's eyes widened and she muttered to herself in shock.

Seeing the shocked appearance of Wang Xiaoyue and Qiao Qian, Chu Chen and the others also felt that it was normal. After all, this is a world dominated by science. , It was like a miracle, completely subverting the worldview of the two of them, and it is reasonable for them to behave like this now.

Liu Sizhe put his arms around Wang Xiaoyue's shoulders and said, "Okay, Xiaoyue, next time I have a chance, I will show you Brother Chen's "The Starry Sky". That painting is much more magical than this one!"

"what?!"

Hearing that there is a more miraculous painting than the one in front of them, Wang Xiaoyue and Qiao Qian looked at Liu Sizhe and then at Chu Chen in astonishment. Even though they both solemnly stated that it was true, they still found it unbelievable.
