The only player on earth

Chapter 258 19. Seal
Died mysteriously in a dream?
This made Henry Zhang more interested.

If this group of people committed suicide, it can also be explained by [suggestion]. For example, this painting can evoke people's thoughts of suicide and make them commit suicide.

This is not impossible.

In fact, this kind of thing has not happened before. For example, in modern society, there was once a famous banned song [Black Friday] that did this kind of thing.

In the 13 years since Black Friday existed, hundreds of people who heard about it committed suicide.

Suicides left suicide notes saying that they committed suicide because they could not bear the extremely sad melody.The author deeply repented before his death. He himself did not expect that this song would kill so many people, so he teamed up with European countries to destroy this song.

This is one of the three banned songs recognized in the world.

The other two restricted areas are [No.13 Pair of Eyes] and [Confessional Song]

[Confessional] The song tells the story of a woman who chose to commit suicide in despair after being betrayed by her husband. The scene she described was magical and negative. It was the scene of her death in her imagination. This scene was ghastly and terrifying.

People who heard it felt desperate and committed suicide one after another.

As for [No. 13 Pair of Eyes], it is said to have originated from primitive tribes in Africa. It is a kind of mysterious music, and the creative intention of the composer cannot be traced.

It is said that in the mid-20th century, people from a tribe in Cameroon committed collective suicide after listening to this song. For this reason, the song was banned from singing, and the officials jointly destroyed all the collected handwritten scores, but there are still some of them. A small piece of music has survived.

Later, around 1991, a well-known musician secretly bought and collected it. He went home and played and sang to himself. After listening to the remaining fragments of the score, he tore up the score in his hand and looked through the window. Jump down.

Since then, all news related to [No. 13 Pair of Eyes] has completely disappeared along with the music score.

According to modern scientific explanations, these three forbidden songs are likely to evoke the sadness and despair in the hearts of human beings, and resonate, so people who hear them will have suicidal tendencies.

To put it bluntly, this is an extremely strong hint.

At first Zhang Dehuai told Henry Zhang that this was a picture that would kill people, Henry Zhang thought that this picture was the same as the three forbidden songs, the painter had a very gloomy expression technique, showing his despair on the painting, and then watched resonate with them, causing them to commit suicide.

But it turns out that he was thinking too much.The bizarre death in the dream proved that Henry Zhang’s guess just now was wrong, because it is impossible for human beings to commit suicide in a dream, which even Henry Zhang himself could not do.

“Is this picture still in the palace?” Henry Zhang asked.

After the beating just now, Zhang Dehuai did not dare to lie, so he nodded and said: "This picture is indeed still in the palace."

"where?"

"Right here." Zhang Dehuai said.

Henry Zhang glanced around this small treasure house and did not see any paintings. They must have been hidden, so he said: "Take it out and let me see it."

"Your Majesty." Zhang Dehuai knelt down with a plop and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this painting is an ominous painting. Your Majesty is a body of thousands of gold. You must think twice."

It seemed that he was really unwilling to give the painting to Henry Zhang, and kept begging.

Henry Zhang understood his thoughts. He gave this ominous thing to himself. If he died, wouldn't he be guilty of regicide?This is going to implicate the nine clans.

Therefore, Zhang Dehuai was unwilling and instead knelt down, kowtowed, and begged.

Henry Zhang became a little impatient, and simply read the memory of the other party neatly, and found the hidden location of this painting.

He walked to a shelf and pushed it. The shelf made a clicking sound, revealing the wall behind it. Then, under Zhang Dehuai's surprised eyes, he knocked on the wall a few times.

Click!

The dust on the wall fell rustlingly, revealing a slit dozens of centimeters long. Henry Zhang opened the slit, and it turned out to be a secret door. Inside the secret door, there was a rectangular box.

The box was made of an unknown wood. It didn't look like a precious wood, and there were actually burnt marks on the end.

But Henry Zhang just looked at Zhang Dehuai’s memory and knew that this was no ordinary wood.

This is... Lightning Strike Wood.

Ancient people generally believed that lightning-struck wood was split by lightning from the sky, and ghosts were deeply afraid of it. It was the most powerful talisman to ward off evil spirits.

Use lightning strike wood to seal this ominous thing?

interesting.

Zhang Dehuai looked at the box in Henry Zhang's hand in disbelief, with a dazed expression on his face. He really didn't know how His Majesty knew where the secret door was, and how he knew how to open it.

This unscientific.

This kind of thing should be known by oneself freely, and it is still passed on by word of mouth. The treasure house manager of the previous generation passed it to me, and I have not had time to pass it on to the treasure house manager of the next generation.

Why, why would His Majesty know?

Henry Zhang opened the box made of lightning strike wood, and there was a scroll lying quietly inside.

And this scroll is wrapped in yellow paper.

When Henry Zhang tore the paper, he found that it was not ordinary yellow paper at all, it was full of strange words.

This is the spell.

Henry Zhang could tell at a glance that this was the superstitious ghost-drawing talisman in modern society.

The ancient people were really good at playing. They even wrapped the painting with a charm and sealed it with lightning strike wood. Could it be possible that they really regarded the painting as something evil?

"Your Majesty, think twice."

Seeing that Henry Zhang seemed to be about to open the painting wide, Zhang Dehuai on the side couldn't care less, and immediately rushed forward, hugged Henry Zhang's thigh, and begged Henry Zhang not to open the painting.

How cowardly does this guy have to be, or is there something really weird about this painting?

But even if something is really weird, Henry Zhang is not afraid. After all, he still has more than 4000 game coins as backend. Even if there is any problem, it can be corrected.

What's more, he was very curious about this painting and wanted to find out whether it was a good thing in the lion man's mouth.

So Henry Zhang ignored Zhang Dehuai's persuasion and insisted on opening the painting.

For a moment, Henry Zhang couldn’t help but be stunned.

"Um...is this the ominous thing you said?" Henry Zhang opened the scroll and let Zhang Dehuai take a look.

In fact, Zhang Dehuai had never seen this painting, but now that he saw it, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed, "This... this... I don't know too well."

Because this painting is just a blank piece of paper with nothing on it.

Henry Zhang always thought it was a picture of hell or a picture of a ghost, or something that could make people depressed, but what the hell is a piece of white paper?

Yellow paper talisman, lightning strikes wood, so solemnly sealing a piece of white paper?Are the ancients crazy, or...there is something unknown in this.This kind of coquettish operation, I can't play by myself.

Henry Zhang felt that it was unlikely that the ancients would go crazy, so the second possibility was more likely. This is not a simple blank piece of paper. What should be hidden can only be revealed under special circumstances.

Don’t think that only modern people understand chemistry. In fact, many ancient people were very good at it. Otherwise, how could gunpowder be invented?

Henry Zhang said: "Zhang Dehuai, go get a basin of water."

Even though Zhang Dehuai was reluctant in every possible way, he still did not dare to disobey Henry Zhang's order, and soon ordered someone to bring a basin of cold water.

Henry Zhang wet his fingers and smeared a few times on the white paper scroll, but nothing was revealed.

Clearly, this road does not work.

So Henry Zhang thought for a while, put the white paper scroll on the candle fire, and dried it carefully, but there was nothing.

If it is useless to burn and flood... Could it be blood?

Henry Zhang picked up an iron-sharpened dagger in the treasury, and wanted to bleed, but was stopped by Zhang Dehuai, "Your Majesty, what are you doing?"

"I'll test it with blood."

"Then use the slave's blood." Without saying a word, Zhang Dehuai snatched the dagger from Henry Zhang's hand and carefully cut a wound on his finger. A few drops of blood dripped out and fell on the white scroll.

Unfortunately, nothing happened either.

Henry Zhang is very disappointed.

Zhang Dehuai couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, there was no change in this painting, it's really great that it's a blank piece of paper, at least he doesn't need to be charged with killing the emperor.

After His Majesty left, he burned the painting completely.

Anyway, it is a blank sheet of paper, I believe His Majesty will not blame himself.

Henry Zhang watched for a while and found that nothing had changed in the scroll. He couldn't help but sigh. Fire, water, and blood were of no use, and he didn't use any more moves. After all, he only had these three axes, and they were gone after using them.

Could it be that this is really a blank slate?
All the murderous paintings were made up by Zhang Dehuai. It was impossible. He had just read Zhang Dehuai's memory and knew that Zhang Dehuai had not deceived him.

Many people have indeed died because of this picture.Moreover, this picture was personally ordered by Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, to find someone to seal it, but that was already more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, when the treasure house manager of the previous generation was counting the treasures in the treasure house, he discovered this painting from the treasure house. It died not long after. At that time, many people did not know what happened because the painting died mysteriously in a dream. , there was no wound on his body, it didn’t look like he was sick or dying.

This matter attracted the attention of many people. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty ordered people to investigate the matter. During the investigation, many people died one after another. The cause of death was exactly the same as the death of the treasure house manager, which made the matter even more bizarre and mysterious.

Later, someone discovered that these dozen people had stayed in front of a painting for a long time, and they probably died because of this painting.

Of course, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian did not believe this statement, so he asked someone to do an experiment and let him look at the paintings.

Not long after, the man died unexpectedly, and died strangely in his dream.

Only then did Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian believe it, and ordered several Taoist priests to enter the palace to seal the painting.

The supervisor of the previous generation put this painting in a secret compartment of the treasure house and handed it over to Zhang Dehuai, the supervisor of this generation.
