In the fourteenth year of Chengyao's reign in the Qi Dynasty, all nations came to court, and Yongjing planned to display the world's largest "Picture of All Nations Pursuing Light" at the Qianqiu Banquet.
On the eve of the banquet, the face of a powerful man in the painting disappeared out of thin air. At dawn, the man was soaked to the skin and died in a copper bell that had never been exposed to rain.
On the second night, there was another missing face.
On the third night, the deceased came back alive from the lantern market.
The painter Cen Zhao was ordered to inspect the painting, and Xie Wujiu, the jailer's prime minister, was ordered to take the person. One believes that things will not lie, and one knows why people must lie. They discovered from the mineral color, old silk and a layer of manuscripts that were deliberately covered: the so-called famous paintings of the prosperous times are actually the shrouds of a group of unknown craftsmen.
Cen Zhao's father, who had been beheaded eighteen years ago, was slowly opening his eyes in the painting.
