If you want to ask others how to destroy an oil painting as quickly and effectively as possible, different people may have different answers, such as using ink to modify the oil painting, or using a sharp knife to chop the oil painting into pieces, but in these cases Among the methods, the most effective one is probably to directly reduce the oil painting to ashes. So the plan from the beginning was to burn the painting with oil.
After Luo Lin and the others left the villa, we immediately started to split up. The third fat man found a washbasin from the toilet, and I went to get a bucket of vegetable oil. When we came back, Zhang Mo had already taken the oil painting off the frame and rolled it into a ball.
Seeing us coming, Zhang Mo waved to the third fat man to place the basin in the center of the circle, and then threw the rolled-up oil painting into the basin. The last step was for me to pour vegetable oil on the oil painting.
When everything was ready, I took a deep breath. Because I had worked in an auction house in the past, I couldn't help but repeat the professional habits I had picked up: "I said, this oil painting is almost a hundred years old." Right? Does what we do count as destroying antiques?"
Zhang Mo lit a match, glanced at me and said, "Sijiu, we are not destroying antiques, we are just destroying demons."
As Zhang Mo's words fell, the match in his hand also fell into the basin. The oil painting inside was ignited in an instant. The fire burned stronger and stronger with the help of vegetable oil. In just a few seconds, it was swallowed up. The entire oil painting.
While the oil painting was burning, we kept observing the surroundings, expecting that the black shadow I had witnessed suddenly appeared and attacked us. But in fact, during the entire process of the oil painting burning, the thing we were most worried about did not happen. It seems that the triggering condition for this curse is to take the oil painting out of the villa, but destroying the oil painting will not trigger the curse.
A few minutes later, the oil painting in the basin was completely burned to ashes. Even if we did everything, the flames with nothing to burn began to gradually weaken.
It¡¯s over, it¡¯s finally over. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but think this in my heart.
But at this moment, Sanpang let out a soft cry, which made me feel something was wrong.
"Huh? Where's the picture frame?"
Hearing what the third fat man said, I immediately turned around and looked at the picture frame that was originally placed aside. After Zhang Mo took down the painting just now, the frame of the oil painting and the wine glass were placed aside, but now, the frame of the oil painting has disappeared?
But in fact, it¡¯s not just the frame that¡¯s missing.
Just as we were looking around for the missing picture frame, the fire in the basin also went out. I accidentally leaned over and took a look. Just one look left me inexplicably horrified. Because there was nothing in that basin!
Not only can we not see the remnants of the oil painting, we can¡¯t even see any bits of paper dust that should be in the basin.
How is this going?
Hearing my exclamation, the others also turned their heads. After seeing the situation in the basin, they were all shocked. Only Zhang Mo's face seemed thoughtful.
Zhang Mo first stood there and pondered for a moment, then without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the stairs.
Seeing this, the remaining three of us looked at each other and followed closely behind Zhang Mo.
The four of us went up the stairs together, and stopped before we reached the corner of the stairs. Except for Zhang Mo, who had already expected it, the three of us, San Pang, and Lin Qianyi, could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
On the wall less than a few meters away from us, the oil painting that had been burned was hanging on the wall like this. In addition to showing no signs of being burned, the painting has returned to the frame, as if it had never been taken out of the frame by Zhang Mo.
After everyone was silent for a moment, the third fat man finally couldn't help but ask: "What, what's going on? Mr. Zhang, can you give us an explanation? We obviously burned the painting just now?"
"Three Fatties, we don't need you to tell us this fact." Zhang Mo replied angrily, then took out a dagger and stabbed it towards the oil painting, splitting the whole painting into strips of shredded paper. He then used his own hands to tear the fragments of the oil paintings into smaller pieces, and threw them down the stairs like a goddess scattering flowers.
After finishing this, Zhang Mo turned back and stared at the picture frame that should have been empty. But this time, we finally understood why the burning oil painting appeared before us again.
? ??Because at this moment, the oil painting on the wall in front of us, which was supposed to have been reduced to fragments, actually began to recover like new before us.
The fragments that Zhang Mo threw down the stairs somehow returned to the frame. They began to come together piece by piece. In just ten seconds, the entire oil painting was completely restored.
"It's over, it's over" The third fat man said with some disappointment: "This oil painting is indeed the same as that ancient mirror. It is an indestructible cursed item. We can't destroy it at all!"
His words made me smile bitterly. Everyone in our current situation cannot help but smile bitterly. Because the failure of this attempt has declared our powerlessness in this incident. Since we can neither take away this oil painting nor destroy it, is there anything else we can do right now besides smiling bitterly?
While the third fat man and I were disappointed, Lin Qianyi still held on to the last glimmer of hope and asked Zhang Mo: "Zhang Mo, do you have any other ideas?"
Zhang Mo looked at the oil painting with concentration, shook his head and said: "The cursed object is originally something that is beyond ordinary people's understanding. Even in Longhu Mountain, there are not many ways to deal with it."
"There are not many waysbut that means there are still ways, right?"
Hearing what Lin Qianyi said, San Pang and I also raised our heads and looked at Zhang Mo expectantly.
Zhang Mo thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, there is, but no one has ever really tried this method."
"What exactly is the solution?" I asked.
Zhang Mo pointed to Shunji Ito on the oil painting and said, "Find his body."
"Ito Shunji's body? What does his body have to do with us breaking the curse?" the third fat man asked quickly.
¡°It would be a long story to explain, so I¡¯d better stop talking¡±
Lin Qianyi listened, but said displeasedly: "Zhang Mo, the curse is not a trivial matter. If you don't explain it clearly, how can we safely do as you say?"
Among the people, Zhang Mo was the only one who had to listen to what Lin Qianyi said, so after hearing what she said, Zhang Mo immediately explained it to us in detail.
It turns out that in order to break the curse, the reason why we need to find Shunji Ito¡¯s body is to trace back to the past at Longhu Mountain.
It has been more than a thousand years since the Longhushan Zhengyi sect was established. During this period, as the orthodox sect, they have naturally dealt with ghosts and spirits countless times, and also encountered no less than curse-related incidents. .
But as Zhang Mo said before, although the method of Longhu Mountain is always harmful to ghosts and resentful spirits, it has little effect on curses. Over the millennia, countless disciples of the Zhengyi sect died due to the curse.
Therefore, there are people in Longhu Mountain who have been conducting research on how to break the curse. And the conclusion they finally came to was the reason why Zhang Mo said what he said today.
In the research on curses in Longhu Mountain, there has always been a speculation, that is, whether the so-called cursed objects were born when some people used long-lost magic techniques to forcibly imprison ghosts in objects. product?
Longhushan would think so, which is not without purpose. In fact, the connection between cursed objects and ghosts is far more obvious than we think.
Although curses sound similar to spells on paper, the appearance when they take effect is inseparable from ghosts and spirits. Whenever a curse takes effect, ghosts and spirits will most likely appear. For example, the ancient mirror I once encountered essentially used the evil spirit in the mirror to kill the cursed object. As for the Filipino maid of the Rowling family this time, before the accident happened, we had also witnessed an unidentified black figure.
