Chapter 49: The Lady of the Ancient Legend! (Part II)
"Shadow Family, Shadow Family!"
When the old man gently spat out these words, the whole living room suddenly froze, like a serrated knife, and it was deeply cut in the hearts of each of us.
Every person in the ancient city knows that for many years, the "Golden Ten Horses" that the people of the ancient city are proud of have been invaded and seized by the Shadow Family, and they are still collected in the private museum of the Shadow Family, bearing those dirty eyes!
Every person in the ancient city knows that the "human head and snake body picture" of Fuxi Nuwa, which once made all Chinese people proud, is the invader represented by the shadow family, in the name of the "shadow expedition", through indiscriminate digging, indiscriminate excavation and cutting, and other destructive means, from the Chinese ground and underground to grab the cultural relics and treasures, and then steal and plunder the tent, which makes people sigh so far.
I remember one time, the old professor who loved calligraphy said in tears after returning to China, "In my own land, I didn't see my favorite calligraphy saint's hand-me-down works, how sad and sad it is!", I deeply remember that he was holding the book saint's "Funeral Post", "Sister to Post", "Dingwu Lanting Preface", "Seventeen Posts", "Jiwang Shengjiao Preface" When the calligraphy copy unfortunately passed away, the classmates in the class did a special investigation, and everyone found that the loss of these calligraphy treasures was inseparable from a family, that is, the shadow family, which made the old professor hate Jiuquan's hateful name.
And now, in the air of the fragrance of tea, in the gentle and beautiful Xiaofeng girl's exquisite tea ceremony, this hateful name suddenly appeared, which really made us feel very uncomfortable.
"Yes, the treasures of our prints were also grabbed by the Shadow Family," the old man said with red eyes, perhaps in Uncle Deng's heart, it was also an unhealable wound, "The Shadow Family, which has lasted for nearly 1,000 years since the founding era of Jiepeng, has been extremely influential in Jiepeng society, and is a prominent family in the political, economic and cultural fields of Jiepeng, maintaining prosperity for nearly 1,000 years, and has been in the upper reaches of Jiepeng's social power, wealth and culture, and is also an extraordinary family in the art collection industry." โ
"I remember that they made their fortune by plundering," Daewoo said, "and according to the information, in order to plunder our wealth, their Emperor and the Shadow Family and their advisors established the Shadow Society, a royal organization that includes experts in finance, accounting, bookkeeping, shipping, and various treasures, which is overseen by members of the royal family and manipulates the underworld to achieve the goals of its organization." โ
"The harm that this family has done to China can be said to be innumerable! Everyone should know about the plundering of that war in modern times, in fact, their plundering of us began a long time ago!" Uncle Deng finally couldn't hold his breath, he said loudly, but his anger did not cause us the slightest ridicule, because, in our hearts, it seems that there are a thousand "grass and mud horses" rushing out.
"If you want to destroy its country, you must first destroy its history! This is the ambition of Jiepeng!" Uncle Deng said in a high-pitched voice, and a few words came out, making people feel that what he said was so sad.
"About 200 years ago, there was a painting wizard in the Shadow Family, especially in figure painting, who was sent to China by the Shadow Family, and this person was named Kobo Shadow ...... in China."
"The shadow of the Dharma, the shadow of the Dharma!" I suddenly felt that the name was very familiar, and I turned my head to look at Ziyun, who at this time seemed to be intoxicated with the "Lady Picture", and didn't see me looking at him at all.
I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, I bumped Daewoo with my arm, Daewoo followed my eyes and looked at Ziyun, we exchanged glances, Daewoo stood up and snatched the painting from Ziyun's hand.
"Hmm!" Ziyun looked at us confusedly, "What's wrong with you, why are you looking at me?"
"What's wrong with you?" we all asked her.
"I feel like I've had a dream!" Ziyun rubbed his eyes, "It's a long, long dream!"
"What dream?" I asked her softly.
"I can't remember," Ziyun looked very painful again, she grabbed her hair tightly with her hand, "I always have such dreams, but I just can't remember what I dreamed of, it feels like many things are familiar, but they are intermittent, like fragments of memory!"
"Sister, let's have a cup of tea!" A sweet voice came, it turned out to be Miss Xiaofeng, who was smiling and handing Ziyun a cup of tea. The purity of the face, the innocence of the face, like a fresh breeze, blows through everyone's face.
Ziyun took the teacup, put it between her lips, and took a sip gently, "Thank you, Sister Xiaofeng!" She smiled at Miss Xiaofeng, then held the teacup and continued to close her eyes and meditate, but it looked better.
"Xiao Feng, you put away the painting first!" Daewoo handed me the "Lady Picture", I took it and put it in the backpack behind me.
"Uncle Deng, we're all right. I saw that Uncle Deng was looking at me, so I motioned for him to continue.
It is said that three generations of his family have devoted themselves to printmaking, from his wife, to his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, all of whom are well-known printmakers. Uncle Deng patted Miss Xiaofeng on the shoulder and motioned for her to make another pot of tea, and then he continued, "This shadow of propagating the Dharma has studied printmaking art in the ancient city of China and Ningcheng, but secretly stealing the treasures of Chinese printmaking, and abducted and arrested nearly 1,000 Chinese printmakers to Jiepeng, all of whom were imprisoned in a temple in Jiepeng to create prints. Among them, half of them are the female printmaking artists in the painting village!"
"Ahh
"We all know that Jiepeng is more famous in the field of art is relief prints, which can be said to be an art form that has influenced the world," Uncle Deng was not surprised by our surprise at all, he waited for us to look at each other and feel the sadness in this story.
"Yes, that's the art form that influenced many artists in the world," only Zhaoyang was more focused on drinking tea, for him, with the tea ceremony and beautiful women, he seemed to have forgotten what we were here for, but he still lost no time in interjecting.
Uncle Deng took a sip of tea lightly and continued to tell us, "The most famous of Jiepeng's floating prints is the picture of a lady, which was later spread by Jiepeng, and became a beauty picture of practitioners in the customs industry. However, what many people don't know is that this Jiepeng, a country that was attached to the end of China and had no traces of civilization at all, suddenly emerged in a short period of time such a brilliant and dazzling artistic height, and that was precisely what the suffering Chinese people created for them! It was Jiepeng who seized the talents and technology of China, and it was the Chinese people who created a rare and brilliant culture of relief prints!
"Ahh
"100 years ago, the shadow family produced another genius, he is the nephew of the shadow of the Dharma, it is called the shadow of the Shadow, but it is a complete demon, the shadow family has sent three shadow expeditions led by the shadow of the shadow of the shadow into China, engaged in the activity called archaeology, in fact, the theft of historical relics. A total of 29 members of the three expeditions lasted 6 years and 10 months, traveled 20,000 kilometers, and covered more than 50 cities and towns in China and more than 300 Buddhist sites. They seized a lot of treasures from China, and it is said that they packed thousands of large wooden chests. โ
"A bunch of robbers!" Daewoo couldn't help but hammer his thigh again.
"However, they are not satisfied at all, they are still looking for it in the land of China," Uncle Deng pointed to my bag, and continued, "What they are looking for is this picture of a lady known as the Eight Beauties." โ
""Eight Beauties", this was originally called "Eight Beauties", which seems to have never been heard of. Daewoo said.
"They have already broken the Chinese prints, they have grafted the Chinese printmaking art, and they have grabbed the artistic treasures of China, what are they looking for this lady to do?" I asked loudly, I really didn't understand the shamelessness and barbarism of the people of Jiepeng.
"Because," said Uncle Deng, "because of an unknown secretโit is said that there is a great secret hidden in this lady's picture!"
