    "According to what you said, at least one person will die every night," Liu Yanlei said. "There is no difference between burning or not burning, right? Anyway, some people will die, right?"

    "Death starts at night," Shao Ling said. "It's better to watch the changes first, and then decide whether to burn or not to burn according to the situation. We might as well hold a rhino horn in each hand for emergency."

    There was no objection to this proposal. Everyone took out the rhino horns in the box and counted them, exactly thirteen.

    "It seems that your proposal is right," Luo Ling pretended to play with the rhino horns in his hands easily. "It seems that these rhino horns are prepared for us, and the quantity is just right."

    "So does that mean that we still need to light these rhino horns?" Li Yi said alertly.

    "It's useless to guess out of thin air now. We can only wait and continue to ponder the existing clues." Shao Ling said.

    "I'm hungry." Xue Ge, a young female painter who seemed to be distracted, suddenly recovered and said something inexplicably.

    "Wow, beauties, we are all dying, are you still in the mood to eat?" Luo Ling looked at her in surprise.

    "Being a ghost is better than being a starving ghost." Xue Ge's indifferent expression didn't seem to regard the bizarre situation of being in a painting as the same thing, and he was about to turn around and go to the kitchen on the first floor, "Can you help me? ?"

    The other two female members, Fang Fei and Chen Xinai, went out of the room with her behind her.

    The others stayed in the captain's room and looked through the contents of the box. Unfortunately, everyone tried their best and could not recognize the ancient seal characters on the bamboo slips.

    "I think we should first figure out what the purpose of this ship is at sea," Qin Ci said. "If possible, we should also figure out where its destination is."

    "Since the flag on the ship says the country name, then this ship must be official," Shao Ling said. "With the living standards of Qin State at that time, it is impossible for ordinary people to build such a ship privately, so it should be. An official ship.

    "There was no maritime trade in the Qin Dynasty. Although this ship was full of grains, clothes, medicines and daily necessities, it should not be used for commercial trade.

    "It is said that Qin Shihuang likes to patrol the sea to appreciate the territories under his control and to show the national power of Qin Shi, then this ship may be considered as the patrol boat sent by Qin Shihuang when he patrolled the sea?"

    "There is no need to carry jewelry and expensive things on the cruise ship," Zhu Haowen said strictly.

    "This ship gives me the feeling that it is purely for long-distance voyages," Qin Ci continued. "It carries a lot of food, clothing, daily necessities, and medicines to prevent illness. It is obviously prepared for long-distance travel. Yes, what is the purpose of a long-distance voyage on an official ship sent by the state without the prerequisite of displaying force?"

    "Cultural exchange?" said Yu Long, who was dyed in sullen green linen hair. "Isn't there a lot of book slips in the boat."

    "It's very possible." Shao Ling nodded.

    "Long-distance voyages, cultural exchanges, these two key words can only remind me of Dongdu Island." Qin Ci said.

    "It may also be the Korean Peninsula." Zhu Haowen added calmly.

    "Dongdu's words...Ah! I know! This painting tells the story of the eminent monk Jianzhen!" Wei Dong's eyes shone brightly.

    "...Jian, you have a big head!" Ke Xun slapped his head and slapped his aura, "I know that Jian is really from the Tang Dynasty. The painting is Qin. The story of North Korea!"

    "Negligence," Wei Dong clutched his head, "Qin Chao's words...also, Xu Fuji went to sea to find immortal medicine for Qin Dynasty, right?"

    "...Are you sure you are going to the sea to find immortal medicine instead of candy?" Ke Xun squinted at him.

    "Xu Fu! Xu Fu!" Wei Dong hurriedly changed his words. "It's easy to say-Xu Fu took the virgins to sea to search for the elixir of life for Qin Shihuang. Isn't that correct?"

    "It is said that there were several large-scale sea patrols during the Qin Shihuang period," Shao Ling said. "The most famous one is Xu Fu, who sent ships for long-distance voyages. I agree with Mr. Wei's guess that this painting, It is very possible to describe what happened on the sea when Xu Fu was ferrying east. After all, Qin Shi's navigational technology was limited by the times, and it was impossible to make frequent long-distance voyages at sea. Only the historical event of Xu Fu's east ferry was a conclusive occurrence. "

    "The legend says that Xu Fu took the boys and girls to the sea to find the fairy island, but they never returned. Is it possible that because they encountered these...monsters at sea, the whole army was wiped out and he could not go back?" Li Yi guessed .

    "But some experts said that Xu Fu actually took people to the island country and then stayed there. Are the island countries all our descendants?" Yu Long said.

    Shao Ling shook his head slightly: "This kind of statement is really arrogant. The island nation of Qin Dynasty already had aboriginal people, but during the Warring States period, the island nation was in the Jomon culture of the Stone Age. It lived by gathering, fishing and hunting. In other words, they are still in the primitive clan society.

    "But when the Qin Dynasty arrived, the island country suddenly appeared bronze and iron production tools, and rice planting techniques appeared out of thin air. It took a very short time to transition from the Neolithic Age to the Iron Age—this phenomenon seems to prove that Xu Fu did indeed. It brought the advanced technology, culture and products of Qin Dynasty to the island country.

    "If this picture depicts the situation of Xu Fu's eastward crossing, then it at least proves that the people on this ship were not annihilated, otherwise how would they appear in the island country?

    "I remember the historical record that Xu Fu went out to sea to search for immortals twice under the order of Qin Shihuang. The first time there was no result, Qin Shihuang asked him to go out to sea for the second time. He reasoned that when he went out to sea for the first time, there were giant sharks in the sea blocking him. During the long voyage, Qin Shihuang dispatched archers to follow out to sea, and he shot and killed a mackerel, and then started Xu Fu's second voyage.

    "I think this is particularly critical-"Historical Records of Qin Shihuang Benji" once mentioned that Qin Shihuang had a dream, and he fought with the sea god in the dream. After waking up, people would interpret the dream. The dream interpreter said that the water god was originally invisible. The big fish and dragons are scouts-scouts are probably the meaning of scouts, and now this evil god is out to make trouble, as long as you kill it, you can see the true good god.

    "The key point is here: one is that'the god of water is originally invisible', and the other is that it uses mackerel as a scout, or we can also understand it as a patrol, such as patrolling in the sea? Third, just kill it. The mackerel can break through the barriers of the evil gods, or, in other words, can break the deadlock and see the good gods—or, escape from the heavens, clear customs and leave the painting?

    "So, can we think that the killing of this painting is on the mackerel dragon that may appear in the sea? If we want to leave the painting, we have to try to kill it. But the sea is so vast and far-reaching, How can I find the mackerel?

    "The answer is the rhino horn in our hands. According to the allusion of Niuzhu rhinoceros photos, once we light the rhino horn, it will cause creatures of the'other world' to come to fight the fire, regardless of whether it is a good god or a ghost. It's a creature of another world.

    "We used the way to burn the rhinoceros to attract the mackerel, figure out a way to kill, and then use the way to burn the rhinoceros to attract the'invisible' water god, I think, this water god, maybe it is a seal, we found it. It, we can leave the painting.

    "The above are just my own personal opinions, so I think it's a good idea. If you have other ideas, you might as well speak up and brainstorm."

    After Shao Ling said these words, his eyes swept across the faces of everyone present, and finally fell on Mu Yiran's face.

    This person speaks very little, but for some reason, Shao Ling feels that this person cannot be ignored.

    Shao Ling’s quotation from the scriptures and allusions seems to have calmed everyone present. Wei Dong and Luo Ling looked at him with admiration. Li Yi took the lead in regaining consciousness and nodding his head: "I think you are close The truth is, that's how it is."

    Yu Long also nodded: "Impossible, I think we can only do this, kill the mackerel dragon before leaving the painting."

    Liu Yanlei's eyes flickered: "I also think you make sense, but the problem is also coming-how are we going to kill the so-called giant shark?"

    "There are crossbows in the warehouse below the deck. I saw it at that time," Yu Long said. "Since the history books record that the giant fish was shot, let's use that thing."

    Li Yi and Liu Yanlei nodded in agreement.

    Shao Ling turned to look at the old members who did not make a statement: "How many do you mean?"

    Qin Ci glanced at his companions and said carefully: "Based on the experience and lessons of the previous paintings, all conjectures and speculations may become the key to the painting. We try not to miss any possibility.

    "So, we support your inference, but it is necessary to remind you that the unnatural forces in the painting are irresistible.

    "Once that kind of power wants or needs to kill you, then it will be able to kill you successfully. You can't make any resistance, let alone counter-kill.

    "Of course, the rules of each painting are different. Maybe this painting can kill unnatural forces. I say this just to remind you who are the first to paint, and don't underestimate the enemy. The cruelty of'painting' is far beyond your imagination.

    "In addition, the use of crossbows is also a problem. It is best to learn to operate it before dark."

    Shao Ling nodded: "Thank you for the reminder. Then we will hurry up, move the crossbow to the deck, and practice first."

    Everyone stopped talking and walked towards the stairs leading to the lower deck.

    Wei Dong walked at the end and quietly touched Ke Xun with his elbow, lowering his voice: "This Shao Ling has two times. I seem to have seen another big shepherd, and even the limelight of our big shepherd has been suppressed by him. I didn't say a few words from beginning to end."

    "That's not good." Ke Xun looked at the boyfriend's stiff back, "I wish everyone who entered the painting could steal his limelight by his ability, at least that way, he doesn't need to have his shoulders It always bears everyone's expectations and lives. That is too heavy and too heavy."
