"I'm so anxious? I've stood up for the Sa family, come one by one!"

Seeing that the scene was a little messy, Guo Jing immediately picked up the "scary sword" and swung it... Of course, the sword was not unsheathed, otherwise it would scare everyone away.

The unsheathed Xia Renjian was still very scary, and the people who pushed forward stopped.

Guo Jing turned his head and asked Liu Wuji, "Jiyi, there are a lot of people who want to buy it."

In fact, there are not many more... Liu Wuji released ten books before, but now there are about fourteen or five people wearing big curtains following the trend.

Liu Wuji pretended to shake the paper fan, and then said, "Haha, there are more than 20 people, Brother Yi, how many more?"

"Jiyi, there are ten more books."

"What should I do if I don't have enough points?"

Yes? What should I do if the supply is in short supply?

"Then let's raise the price." Guo Jing said, "Why... sell 500 copies?"

"Okay, just five hundred pieces per book. If you want it, it will be dawn later."

Five hundred pieces per copy is not copied by famous artists... This is really a plea!

But if you don’t buy it, it doesn’t seem to work. Those who like the copy of “Drunk Arhat Picture” are either a painter or there are masters of calligraphy and painting behind them. For them, the copy is not necessarily obtained, but they must get it.

Because of the copy, they or the masters behind them can learn the brushwork and painting techniques of painting the body of the drunk Arhat through copying.

So I bought these five hundred silks not just a copy, but an unprecedentedly brilliant brushwork, so it is not expensive.

Of course, they can not buy it, and then use their relationship to find a copy from others to copy it.

But human debt is worthless? Those who can spend 3500 yuan to buy copy are not ordinary people. How much face do they have to lend copy?

"Five hundred is five hundred, I want it!"

The first person to break the silence was Chen Youwen's eldest son Chen Zhen. His father was Hanlin Puzhi, and his younger brother targeted the Hanlin Painting Academy. In the final analysis, he had to rely on painting skills to make a living. A newly emerged and brilliant brushwork was a must-win for them.

"Haol." Liu Wuji couldn't see Chen Zhen's face, and didn't know that he was the son of the Wu family's rival (Wu Haogu and Chen Zhen were not very familiar with each other and could not hear each other's voice), so he picked up a scroll and handed it to Chen Zhen.

Of course, Chen Zhen didn't know that it was Wu Dalang and the others who sold the copy, so he didn't hesitate to count the 67 ten-color cross-sections.

After Wu Haogu got the handover point and finished testing, Chen Zhen did not leave immediately, but bowed and asked, "This great official, I want to ask for some advice."

"Ask."

"I want to know where this scroll originally came from?"

This problem is a bit taboo, and it is a taboo in the Eastern Cross Street Guishizi.

Since the sellers in Guishizi do not show their true colors, the origin of the things they sell are naturally a bit indescribable.

Guo Jing, who was still holding a "scary sword" in his hand, seemed to have no idea of ​​the rules, and immediately said: "This, Sajia will tell you that it originally flowed from the west..."

"Third brother," Liu Wuji shouted, "This is impossible."

"Oh, Sa's family forgot, observed what he ordered..."

"Third Brother!" Liu Wuji shouted, Guo Jing was silent now. However, the story he should have told had been finished.

Guo Jing, who spoke "Sajia" at once, said that he had a Guanxi accent, and had a "scary sword" in his hand. He was obviously a fighting man at first glance, and he was obviously a general of the Western Army. He didn't need to ask about the "observation" in his mouth, he must be the general of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Liu Wuji, who was called "Jiyi" by Guo Jing and spoke Kaifeng accent, was obviously an aide to "observation" and wrote Jiyi's words. There was also an "Yane" who had not appeared, of course, the son of "observation" and the author of these copies.

The place called "the west" by the Western Army generals must be either the territory of the Song Dynasty, either the Western Xia, or the Qingtang Tubo.

In other words, the "Drunk Arhat Picture" originally came from Western Xia or Qing Tang Tubo. Everyone in calligraphy and painting business knows that the painting saint Wu Daozi had stayed in Dunhuang for a while and participated in the production of Dunhuang Grottoes murals, so Wu Daozi could indeed leave a powder copy in Dunhuang. This powder copy could indeed flow into the Central Plains again from Western Xia or Qing Tang more than 300 years later, and was obtained by a general of the Song Dynasty's Western Army who guarded the western front...

After the story was finished, the activities of Wu Dalang and others were almost over today, and the remaining nine copies were sold out in a very short time. Then Liu Wuji and Guo Jing left with two servants and the exchange of 8,000 pieces worth of the paintings.

The original works of Wu Daozi may appear in the world and the emergence of an unprecedentedly brilliant brushwork also caused a stir in the calligraphy and painting of Kaifeng Mansion, which was not very peaceful.

...

Kaifeng Government Office, in an ear room near the government office, the Hanlin Painting Academy's Attendant Chen Youwen was holding a bowl of tea, smiling and looking at a middle-aged man with a white and fat goatee beard and a little messy dressed in a scholar.

"The arhat in this painting... is like a real person!" The fat white man unfolded a scroll in his hand and was looking at it carefully. "And the arhat's clothes are indeed Wu Dai Dangfeng's brushwork, and are painted by orchid leaves."

Chen Youwen tasted the tea and continued to look at the man, "Brother Xiang is so good at seeing... I wonder how Brother Xiang looked at the original "Drunk Arhat Picture"?"

The one he called "Brother Xiang Dao" was the father of Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen brothers, the official calligraphy and painting official of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Wu Chengzhi, the head of Wu Family Painting Zhai on Panlou Street (the word "Wu Cheng" Xiang Dao).

Although Wu Chengzhi's painting skills are not a great master, because his grandfather was Wu Zongyuan, the first person to paint the Wu family in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was very knowledgeable about the Wu family. If we talk about his understanding of the Wu family (not Wu Daozi's paintings alone), there are few people in the entire Song Dynasty who can compare with him.

"Looking at the clothes of the arhat, either the original works of the painting saint, or the paintings of his disciples... But looking at the body of the arhat, it should be made by the arhat's disciple."

Wu Daozi's disciples, such as Lu Qijia, Li Sheng, Zhang Zang, Han Qiu, Zhu Yao, Zhai Yan, etc., were mostly great masters of the Tang Dynasty. During the Yuanfu period of the Northern Song Dynasty, their original works were also valuable.

"How can I see it?" Chen Youwen asked.

Wu Chengzhi stroked his beard and said, "The brushwork used in this Arhat's body seems to be from the painting saint, but in terms of both the true form and the spirit, it has surpassed the painting saint... It is obvious that it is beyond the abyss. I think only the painting saint can teach such a great painter."

"Isn't it done by the Painting Saint after his painting skills were perfected in his later years?"

"The painting skills are great?" Wu Chengzhi shook his head and said, "The murals painted by the Painting Saint in Dazhuangyan Temple in his later years are mostly copied in the world. You should have seen them before?"

Chen Youwen nodded.

Wu Cheng's Way: "The skill of the Painting Saint in his later years was far from that of this painting, and it was probably not something that could be made up for in one or two years... Therefore, this painting should be from the disciple of the Painting Saint."

"Can Brother Xiang tell which saint disciple of the painting made this painting?"

"I can't see it," Wu Chengzhi carefully put away the scroll and returned it to Chen Youwen with both hands. "Maybe it was an unknown disciple of the painting saint?"

After retrieving the copy of "Drunk Arhat Picture", Chen Youwen did not intend to get up and leave. Wu Chengzhi looked at him, and his face suddenly became extremely solemn, "Is there anything else that Guanzhao Zhi has to give?"

Chen Youwen lowered his voice and said, "Xiangdao, do you have the "Eighty Seven Immortals Picture" in your family?"

Wu Chengzhi was stunned and frowned, "Is it the original work of Wu Daozi?"

Chen Youwen nodded slightly.

Wu Cheng's strange saying: "Isn't the original work of the "Eighty-Seven Immortals" hidden in Wanshou Temple?"

Chen Youwen whispered: "The ones placed in Wanshou Temple are fakes."

"What the hell?" Wu Chengzhi took a breath, and a terrified expression appeared on his chubby face.

Wanshou Temple was originally built by Emperor Zhenzong of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace. It was a special Taoist temple with more than 3,600 houses. However, it was destroyed in a fire just seven years after its completion, leaving only two small halls of Changsheng and Chongshou. The two halls were later collectively called Wanshou Temple, and became a small royal Taoist temple. The "Eighty-Seven Immortals" was originally stored in the Zhaoying Palace of Yuqing, and was preserved in the fire, and then stored in the Wanshou Temple.

Wu Zongyuan, the ancestor of the Wu family, was the first person in the Wu family of the Northern Song Dynasty. The copy of Wu Daozi's white drawings can definitely be inconsistent with the truth. His "Chung Yuan Immortals' Ball Picture" (also a mural copy) was copied by copying "Eighty Seven Immortals". The compositions of the two paintings are almost the same, and the characters are almost the same. Moreover, when he was responsible for the creation of the mural of Zhaoyinggong in Yuqing, he also borrowed the original works of "Eighty Seven Immortals" as a sample.

If anyone can make a fake and replace the "Eighty Seven Immortals" collected in Wanshou Temple, it will be Wu Zongyuan!

Chen Youwen shook his head and looked at Wu Chengzhi, "The ones placed in Wanshou Temple are fakes."

"Fake? Who said it?" Wu Chengzhi asked quickly. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

It turned out to be "The Eighty-Seven Gods and Immortals"!

No wonder the powerful have set their sights on the Wu family... But the Wu family does not have this painting at all!

Chen Youwen glanced at Wu Chengzhi and spit out three words: "Mi Xiangyang!"

Mi Xiangyang is Mi Fu! Among the four Song corpses "Cai Su Mi Huang", his calligraphy and paintings may not be the number one in the Song Dynasty, but his eyesight and ability to identify calligraphy and paintings and fake calligraphy are definitely the best in the world.

Chen Youwen paused and whispered: "Mi Xiangyang said that the "Eighty-Seven Immortals Picture" by Wanshou Temple was painted by Ling Weng."

"This is a problem!"

Wu Chengzhi patted his forehead and seemed helpless.

"The Eighty-Seven Immortals" is not an ordinary scroll, but a large scroll about one foot long and nine feet wide, with a large number of characters and a grand scene. Unless you can get the original copy, it is impossible to make a fake.

Moreover, even if you can copy the copy, you can't fool Mi Fu... If Chen Youwen said it correctly, even Wu Zongyuan's copy was seen through, who else in the world could deceive the copy of "The Eighty-Seven Immortals"?
