At this moment, someone said weakly, "Did you guys notice that this painting is exactly the same as the mural on the wall?"
Everyone immediately reacted and compared the two. They realized that other than the damaged parts, the rest were exactly the same.
"Looks like Xiao Buyi really gave us a lot of guidance!"
Tang Yiming said slowly, "But why did he leave behind two identical guidance? And what's the meaning of the contents of this mural?"
Tang Yiming's words completely stunned everyone!
That's right!
What was Xiao Buyi trying to tell everyone by leaving this painting?
Luo Shuiyao said in annoyance, "If you ask me, this Xiao Buyi is just deliberately mystifying us. If he really has some guidance, why didn't he just write it? Why did he have to make a pattern for everyone to guess?"
"How could you and I possibly understand the thoughts of such an expert!"
The old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, shook his head slightly. He then spread the painting on the ground and said with a frown, "Looks like we can only rely on this painting to understand the ghost ship."
Master Yizhen said, "That's right. Fortunately, the pattern on this sheepskin scroll is clear enough. Everyone, take a closer look and see if you can see anything!"
"Did you guys notice that there are three pictures on this sheepskin scroll?!"
Ye Chen said in a deep voice, "The first one is a voyage. There are many soldiers on it, but these people don't look like soldiers at all."
"That's right!"
Zhang Wuming nodded and said, "Judging from the looks of these people, they seem to be Chinese. However, even I can't tell which dynasty they are dressed in."
At this point, he pointed at the middle-aged couple who were being worshipped by many soldiers in the first painting. He frowned and said, "Especially this middle-aged couple. They're like ancient emperors, surrounded by these people."
"Could this middle-aged couple be the emperor and concubine of a certain dynasty?" Luo Shuiyao's interest was piqued, and she started to size them up carefully.
"It doesn't look like it!"
Yuan Qitai shook his head and said, "My Banshan lineage has a better understanding of ancient history, but I've never seen such a warship and attire. Moreover, the middle-aged couple and the woman don't have the aura of an emperor. Instead, they look like ancient generals leading their troops!"
"Let's not dwell on this for now. Let's look at the second painting!"
Ye Chen interrupted everyone's doubts and fixed his eyes on the second picture. "This picture is much easier to understand than the first one. Clearly, when the ship was sailing somewhere, many people suddenly charged at it from the sea. There was a fierce battle between both parties."
His voice suddenly paused.
That was because he realized that the people on the surface of the sea were all walking on the waves, and they were all Chinese martial artists.
When the middle-aged couple was besieged by these people, they protected a little girl who was about four or five years old. The little girl was dressed in luxurious clothes and looked as delicate and adorable as a porcelain doll.
How could it be her!
At that moment, Ye Chen's heart was stirred!
Because he found that the little girl in the painting was somewhat similar to Qianqian, especially her eyes, they were exactly the same!
Sensing his abnormal expression, Zhang Wuming could not help but ask, "Mr. Ye, what's wrong?"
"Ye Chen, are you alright?" Luo Shuiyao asked with concern.
"I'm fine!"
Ye Chen shook his head calmly, but waves of shock and all sorts of guesses were stirred in his heart.
Why did the little girl in the painting look so similar to Qianqian?
And what was the relationship between the middle-aged couple and Qianqian?
"Just as Mr. Ye said!"
Zhang Wuming continued, "The content of the second painting should be that the ship was attacked by someone. Everyone on the ship was killed or injured, and the little girl behind the middle-aged couple must be their daughter …"
"Brother …"
At that moment, Luo Shuiyao suddenly whispered to Luo Tianya beside her, "I realized that the little girl in the painting looks a little like the one we're looking for …"
"Don't spout nonsense!"
Luo Tianya had actually guessed it long ago. Now that he heard that his sister had the same feeling, he could not help but be shocked and hurriedly stopped her.
At the same time!
Tang Yiming, Liu Yunfeng, Xiang Nan, Tong Shuhui, and even Xiao Yuanjing and Bai Shaoyu had strange expressions on their faces, but no one said anything.
Even though Luo Shuiyao's voice was neither loud nor soft, Ye Chen still heard it. He was even more certain of his guess!
According to what he knew, when the ghost ship appeared 20 years ago, apart from Shi Qianhan, the rest of the people on the ship were either dead or injured. However, an old man and a young man came out alive from the ghost ship.
The appearance of the old man and the young man shocked the entire Shang Santian because no one could find out their identities. At that time, many powerhouses attacked them, but most of them were killed by the lunatic.
The old man and the young man were Qianqian and the Grandpa Sun she mentioned. The two of them had appeared on the ghost ship, and they were connected to the little girl in the painting.
Ye Chen suspected that Qianqian was the little girl in the painting.
In that case, the middle-aged couple must be her biological parents. However, what puzzled him was who was Grandpa Sun? Why did he abandon Qianqian? And why did Qianqian lose her memory and end up on the streets?!
At that moment, Yuan Qitai sucked in a breath of cold air and suddenly said, "Mr. Ye, the people who fought on the ship are all experts. Every one of them is walking on the river. They're at least Martial Dao masters."
Master Yizhen's expression changed as well, "That's not all. Did you guys notice that the location of the battle looks like the Wu River?!"
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the faces of Bai Shaoyu, Xiao Yuanjing, and the rest twitched slightly. It was very unnatural, and killing intent flashed through their eyes as they looked at Yuan Qitai and Master Yizhen.
Ye Chen changed the topic after taking a good look at the few of them, "Let's look at the third painting."
Needless to say, he could guess that the group of powerhouses who charged onto the ship like bandits in the second painting were definitely from Shang Santian, and they were related to the Xiao and Bai clans.
There were dozens of them who were not weaker than Martial Dao masters!
Only Shang Santian could produce such power!
Zhang Wuming and Master Yizhen secretly looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. Clearly, they had guessed something.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Zhang Wuming pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Mr. Ye, the first two paintings are acceptable, but why did the ship in the third painting become eerie?"
Ye Chen smiled lightly and said meaningfully, "Obviously, the ship in the third painting is the ghost ship we're on!"
"What?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that.
Yuan Qitai exclaimed, "Mr. Ye, are you saying that the ship in the first and second paintings changed drastically and became the ghost ship we're currently on?"
