Chapter nine hundred and twenty fourth ancient paintings and tripod

"Two, please wait for me." Charles couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Song Tianyu agree to the deal.

However, Charles' face was a little more serious, and his facial features were squeezed together with his smile, revealing a bitter face. Fang Yi was so angry that he couldn't blame the princess for being acquainted. Charles looked really not very good.

"Charles, are we waiting for you here? Or go out and wait?"

Song Tianyu knew what Charles was going to do. This was the territory of the Windsor family. Naturally, Charles would not carry the precious volcanic liquid and ice marrow on his body, but instead hid it in the safest and most secret place in the castle.

For Charles, who was determined to win the grass and dan, he naturally didn't want the two to go out and have trouble. He said immediately: "You two are here to wait for me, and you can also choose the cultural relics you want to take away."

In this warehouse, there are dozens of cameras installed with no blind spots in three hundred and sixty degrees. Their every move is under surveillance at this moment. They just want to take away a strand of hair, but they can't hide the eyes behind the surveillance.

"Fang Yi, is that volcanic liquid and ice marrow really effective for me?"

As soon as Charles left, Song Tianyu looked at Fang Yi and couldn't wait to ask the question in his heart. He was not as good as pharmacology, nor did he know whether the treasures with two characteristics could help him break through the innate world.

"There is definitely a role, but don't give you too much hope."

Fang Yi's eyes seemed to randomly scanned the cameras in front of him, but his right hand was holding onto the antique shelf beside him. He gently wrote two words on the shelf that had been covered with dust, and then wiped it off.

"70%!"

Seeing the two words written by Fang Yi, a ray of light suddenly ejaculated in Song Tianyu's eyes. He never expected that the combination of ice marrow and volcanic liquid could increase the chance of breakthrough so much, which was far beyond Song Tianyu's previous expectations.

Even if a person without spiritual roots is born in a family of cultivators, he has used various spiritual medicines to nourish his body since he was a child. It is almost impossible to break through the innate world. However, the chance of using spiritual stones to successfully break through is less than 10%, which just leaves a thought for these warriors without spiritual roots.

The reason why Song Tianyu wanted to use a spirit stone was that he met Fang Yi, who had a spirit stone on his body, and did not want to miss this opportunity. However, as he grew year by year, it was difficult for Song Tianyu to maintain his state at his peak. When he was old and weak, it would be almost impossible to break through.

So Song Tianyu made the decision to wait until the psychic meeting broke through and advanced. When he took out the grass and returned the alchemy, he was just thinking about trading an object that would be slightly helpful to his breakthrough, but he never expected that he could trade these two treasures that could increase the chance of breaking by 60%.

You should know that even a cultivator with spiritual roots has a chance of success when he breaks through the innate for the first time. Many cultivators need two to three times to break through to the innate realm when they do not accumulate enough. In fact, it is not as high as Song Tianyu's chance of success now.

"Okay!" Song Tianyu closed his eyes and slowly spit out a word. However, he was afraid that the excitement in his eyes would reveal his excitement, so that the person who was monitoring him could see something.

However, although Song Tianyu closed his eyes, he could still see the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitching, with a 70% chance of breaking through. Song Tianyu knew that one of his feet had already entered the threshold of the innate realm, and the remaining 30% chance depends on whether God could open his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Song Tianyu calmed down his excitement. He walked to the ancient shelf where the weapons were placed before. Song Tianyu took off the dagger, and then said to Fang Yi: "I don't know much about cultural relics. Just take this one object. You can pick a few and get six. This is all the national treasures they snatched from China. There is no need to be polite to Charles."

"Okay, I'll see it before talking about it."

Fang Yi nodded and walked around the ancient shelf where calligraphy and paintings were placed. The Windsor family's Chinese cultural relics collection was divided very carefully, just like the ancient shelf where calligraphy and paintings were marked with the words "Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties", which subdivided the works of various dynasties in China, making people clear at a glance.

Although there were also calligraphy and paintings before the Tang Dynasty, the number was much smaller. There were more calligraphy and paintings in the Sui Dynasty, but there were not even a single calligraphy and painting in the Five Dynasties period, which disappointed Fang Yi, who originally wanted to see Wang Xizhi's true work.

"There are actually paintings with the inscriptions written by Zhu Suiliang here?"

Fang Yi looked over one by one. When he spread out a portrait of the character, his eyes suddenly lit up because there was a seal of Zhu Suiliang printed on the last inscription of the painting, and the font seemed a bit like the original work of Zhu Suiliang in Fang Yi's eyes.

"This...is this a portrait of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty?"

Fang Yi looked at Qin Qiong and the words describing Qin Qiong's life next to the character, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. He followed Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan, but Fang Yi learned a lot of knowledge about antique identification from Sun Lianda, but from Yu Xuan, Fang Yi learned a lot of knowledge in historical miscellaneous stories.

This portrait of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty was a measure taken by Emperor Taizong of Tang Li Shimin to consolidate the imperial power and reward his subordinates.

In order to increase the collective sense of honor of his subordinates, Li Shimin decided to follow his 24 heroes who fought in the south and north when he founded the country, and all of them were painted into portraits and displayed in a loft of the royal family for future generations to admire and praise their achievements. It also allowed the people of the Tang Dynasty to see the royal family's generous heart to treat their ministers, which was a killer.

According to historical records, the portraits of the twenty-four heroes were all hand-painted by Yan Liben, the court painter at that time, and Zhu Suiliang wrote an inscription to praise the achievements of the heroes. However, the attic where the portrait was placed was burned down by a fire, and all the paintings inside were turned into ashes.

Therefore, the fourteen heroic officials are only seen in the descriptions of historians and poets, and there is no image to be verified. There are only four stone fragments carved by You Shixiong of the Song Dynasty, which cannot be identified. Although there were Liu Yuan, Suzhou, re-engraved prints in the Qing Dynasty, they were far from the Tang style. The portraits of the twenty-four heroic officials passed down from behind were all copied by later generations.

There is quite controversy in history about the original portraits of the twenty-four heroes. Some say that those paintings are not the original works of Yan Liben, and some say that Yan Liben wrote the words with Zhu Suiliang in order to leave his name in history. In short, the original works have been burned and cannot be verified under the various opinions.

Sun Lianda has also verified this history. According to Sun Lianda's research, these portraits did not seem to have been burned, but wars broke out in the late Tang Dynasty. No one knows where these original works made by Yan Liben and Zhu Suiliang fell, and they can only be regarded as burning in the fire.

Therefore, Fang Yi's discovery now can be said to fill a major gap in Chinese archaeology, and has extremely profound significance for the research on the history, culture and painting art of the Tang Dynasty at that time. If this painting is brought back to China, it will definitely be more shocking than the return of the bronze first of the twelve zodiac signs.

"besides?"

Fang Yi looked at the place marked with the Tang Dynasty label. Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, because he saw that there were three more scrolls in the same way. He hurriedly opened them and saw that Fang Yi saw three more portraits of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty.

"How did these paintings be kept in the hands of the Windsor family?"

A huge question broke out in Fang Yi's mind. He didn't know how these portraits were preserved back then, nor did he know how these national treasure-level ancient paintings that should be in China crossed the ocean and came to the other end of the world. All of this is a mystery to Fang Yi now.

As for the authenticity of these ancient paintings, Fang Yi could tell them as soon as he started. After he advanced to the innate world, the magical powers he had before had changed.

Perhaps because of the improvement of cultivation, Fang Yi became very slim in the spiritual energy contained in the ancient artifacts. When Fang Yi wanted to absorb those qi, his body would involuntarily repel them.

However, when Fang Yi used his spiritual sense to observe the cultural relics, he could clearly sense the existence of the objects in his hand.

Fang Yi didn't know why this change occurred, but now he was holding this ancient painting, and the time when this painting survived appeared in his mind. With a slight conversion, it happened to be the period when Li Shimin became emperor in the early Tang Dynasty.

After Fang Yi came out of that mysterious space, he embarked on the path of a cultivator. Fang Yi has not touched things like identifying the age of antiques for a long time, nor has he deliberately used this ability on certain objects. He has only used it three or four times so far.

"Fang Yi, what are you looking at?"

Just as Fang Yi was stunned, Song Tianyu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "What are these paintings? Are they very precious? I said, put the paintings first and see how the dagger I chose."

"Old Song, these paintings are much more valuable than those bronze heads."

Hearing Song Tianyu's voice, Fang Yi shook his head with a wry smile, put down the painting in his hand, Fang Yi looked at the short sword Song Tianyu was holding, nodded and said, "This sword is good, it doesn't look like it is made of ordinary materials, but I don't know much about the weapons used by cultivators, and I can't tell you whether it's good or bad."

"I just looked at it. This dagger should be the best in their collection. Do you want to come and take a look?"

Song Tianyu has not completely escaped from his excitement of his promotion and hopes to increase his growth. He held Fang Yi with his hand and said, "No matter how valuable these cultural relics are, they are not important to increase our strength. I think you can also choose something that a cultivator can use. Why don't I give you this short sword?"

"Old Song, you should keep it yourself. If you have the chance in the future, I still want to refine weapons by myself."

Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this. After obtaining the broken weapon refining chapter from Zhang Yi's hand, Fang Yi would not be able to see ordinary weapons. The broken sword he obtained in that mysterious space was not so perfect in Fang Yi's opinion. If it weren't for the lack of cultivation and lack of some materials, Fang Yi would have forged it again.

"You also need materials to refine weapons yourself."

Song Tianyu pointed to the row of ancient shelves leaning against the corner of the wall and said, "Even if these things are not very good, the materials should be pretty good. If you pick a few pieces and break them down, it is better than taking a few paintings that cannot be eaten or drunk."

“That’s right.”

Hearing Song Tianyu's words, Fang Yi put down the painting in his hand. The flying sword he wanted to refine now required more than 20 precious materials. Fang Yi already had the golden essence. In addition, he could also decompose the broken sword to make up several kinds, but there were several materials that Fang Yi did not have in his hand.

"These things are indeed weapons used by our Eastern cultivators, but I can't see what they are forged."

After picking up four or five items, Fang Yi looked at it and put it back, showing a bitter smile on his face. If these were all cultural relics, Fang Yi might be able to identify their advantages and disadvantages and age, but for the objects used by the cultivators, Fang Yi's magical power was completely useless.

Fang Yi had checked these objects before, but did not find any particularly valuable items. Moreover, with Fang Yi's current identification of the cultivator's weapons, he really couldn't see what material these weapons were cast, and whether these materials were useful to him.

However, these things seemed to contain a trace of spirituality. Fang Yi held them in his hand and knew that they should be something that the cultivator had used. When Fang Yi picked up a short knife and injected the innate true energy, the short knife suddenly whispered in a low voice, and a trace of knife light faintly emerged from its sharp blade.

"nice one!"

After seeing the sword light exposed by the short sword, Song Tianyu couldn't help but scream. You know, he chose these weapons only from the sharpness of the weapon itself, but he could not inject true energy into the weapon like Fang Yi, so that it showed its true power.

"That's just the same."

Fang Yi shook his head and put the short sword back to its original place. Although this sword is extraordinary, it is worse than the incomplete flying sword that Fang Yi obtained from the mysterious space. As long as the broken sword is injected with a little true energy into it, it will shoot out more than one meter of sword light, and its material is obviously higher than this short sword.

"There is a description of the material in the residual artifact refining chapter. It seems that you need to study it carefully in the future."

Although Fang Yi has read the broken book of refining weapons throughout the article, the contents are obscure and difficult to understand, and they cannot be understood by reading them all over. With Fang Yi's attainments in ancient Chinese, he is confused about many of the contents.

Fang Yi now only feels that he lacks knowledge. He decided to wait until the matter is finished, and return to the capital to study the residual artifact refining chapter and master some of the above knowledge as soon as possible. In the future, he will not be able to sit in wax like he is now.

"I can't tell these things, so I might as well take back those paintings of Yan Liben."

While looking through the things on the Ancient Shelf, Fang Yi thought in his mind that the weapons of the Eastern cultivators collected by the Windsor family were far less than cultural relics from China. Without much effort, Fang Yi had already read all the objects on the Ancient Shelf.

"Huh? What is this?" Just as Fang Yi wanted to withdraw his gaze, he suddenly discovered that at the bottom of the ancient shelf, there was a small tripod that was only the size of a fist.

Fang Yi observed that the objects used by these cultivators were all combined with eyes and spiritual consciousness. When Fang Yi glanced over the small tripod, his spiritual consciousness found that there seemed to be no objects there. There was an error in his eyes and spiritual consciousness. This was the first time that Fang Yi said.

"The spiritual consciousness can't even find it?"

Fang Yi rubbed his eyes and swept over the dark little tripod with his spiritual sense again, but the result was exactly the same as before. Fang Yi's eyes could clearly see the little tripod, but in Fang Yi's spiritual sense, the little tripod seemed to not exist and had no discovery at all.

Fang Yi bent down and held the dark little tripod in his hand. The thing was not heavy, it weighed about two pounds. When he held it in his hand, Fang Yi discovered that there were many patterns carved on the tripod, and there were some inscriptions that Fang Yi did not recognize in the pattern, and a simple aura came to his face.

“This thing is weird!”

No matter how Fang Yi uses his spiritual sense to view it, he cannot find the existence of the small tripod. After closing his eyes, if he hadn't clearly felt the texture of the small tripod in his hands, Fang Yi would really think that he was not holding anything in his hands.

Since Fang Yi advanced, his spiritual consciousness has increased countless times than before innate, which is completely a qualitative change. Now, even if Fang Yi closes his eyes, any object within a radius of 100 meters can be clearly presented in Fang Yi's spiritual consciousness.

But this strange little tripod was completely separated from Fang Yi's spiritual consciousness. It was as if it was immune to the spiritual consciousness and could be seen with eyes, but it could not be discovered with the spiritual consciousness.

"Fang Yi, what is this?"

Seeing that Fang Yi was not interested in those formed weapons, he looked at them repeatedly with an inconspicuous small object. Song Tianyu once again interrupted Fang Yi's thoughts. Today, Fang Yi's behavior made Song Tianyu very confused.

"I don't know, I can't say it."

Fang Yi smiled bitterly at Song Tianyu's question. This was the first time for him to find something that his spiritual sense could not find. But because of this, this little tripod deeply attracted Fang Yi, and Fang Yi subconsciously thought that this should be a good thing.

"I can't say why are you still holding it?"

Song Tianyu said with some regret that the things used by cultivators are very rare even in the hidden group, especially weapons, which are suitable for cultivators. There is not even a single weapon in the hidden group, so in Song Tianyu's opinion, Fang Yi's choice of the short knife is justified.

"Things that cannot see clues may not be bad, they may be a treasure."

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Old Song, I want this little tripod, and I want the other paintings of Yan Liben, as well. With your short sword, there are just six things. Charles should agree, right?"

"Of course he would agree, but it would be a disadvantage for us to choose these things."
