Chapter 924: Ancient Painting and Ding

"Wait a minute, both of you. Hearing that Song Tianyu agreed to the deal, Charles couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It's just that Charles's face is more serious and better-looking, this smile and the facial features suddenly squeezed together, revealing a bitter gourd face, which made Fang Yi slanderous, no wonder that princess Hongxing came out of the wall, this Charles really doesn't look very good.

"Charles, are we waiting for you here? or are we going to go out and wait?"

Song Tianyu knew what Charles was going to do, this was the territory of the Windsor family, Charles naturally did not bring the precious volcanic liquid and ice marrow with him, but hid it in the safest and most secret place in the castle.

For Charles, who was bound to return the grass, he naturally didn't want the two of them to go out and make any more extraneous branches, so he said at the moment: "It's good to wait for me here, and by the way, you can also pick the cultural relics you want to take." ”

In this warehouse, there are dozens of cameras installed in 360 degrees without dead ends, and every move of the two of them is under surveillance at the moment, they just want to take away a strand of hair, and they can't hide the eyes behind the surveillance.

"Fang Yi, is that volcanic liquid and ice pith 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 didn't understand pharmacology, and he didn't know if the heavenly treasures with two characteristics could help him break through the innate nature.

"There is a definite effect, but don't hope too much. ”

Fang Yi's eyes seemed to casually sweep from the cameras in front of him, but his right hand was on the Bogu shelf beside him, and he lightly wrote two words on the shelf that was sprinkled with a layer of dust, and then erased it casually.

"Seventy percent!"

Seeing the two words written by Fang Yi, Song Tianyu's eyes suddenly shot out of a gleam, he never thought that the combination of cold ice pith and volcanic liquid could increase the probability of breakthrough so much, which was far beyond Song Tianyu's previous expectations.

People who do not have spiritual roots, even if they are born in a family of cultivators, have nourished their bodies with various spiritual medicines since they were young, and it is almost impossible to break through the innate nature, and the probability of using spiritual stones to break through is less than one percent, just leaving a thought for these martial artists who do not have spiritual roots.

The reason why Song Tianyu wanted to use the spirit stone to fight was that he met Fang Yi who had the spirit stone on his body and didn't want to miss this opportunity, but secondly, as the years grew, it was difficult for Song Tianyu to maintain his state at his peak.

Therefore, Song Tianyu made the decision to wait until the Alien Conference broke through and advanced, and when he took out the grass and returned the pill, he was only thinking in his heart that he could trade an object that would be slightly helpful to his breakthrough, but he didn't expect that he could trade these two treasures that could increase the probability of breakthrough by sixty percent.

You must know that even cultivators with spiritual roots, the chance of success when they break through the innate for the first time is not 100 percent, and there are many cultivators who need two to three times to break through to the innate realm when their own accumulation is not enough, which is not as high as the current Song Tianyu's chance of success.

"Okay!" Song Tianyu closed his eyes and slowly spit out a word, but he was afraid that the excited look in his eyes would reveal his excitement, so that the people who were monitoring him would see something.

However, although Song Tianyu closed his eyes, but if he looked closely, he could still see that the muscles in the corners of his eyes were twitching, and there was a seventy percent chance of breaking through, Song Tianyu knew that one of his feet had already entered the threshold of the innate realm, and the remaining thirty percent chance depended on whether God could open his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Song Tianyu calmed down his excitement, walked to the Bogu frame where the weapon was placed before, Song Tianyu took off the short sword, and then said to Fang Yi: "I don't know much about cultural relics, just take this one object is enough, you go and pick a few, make up enough six, here are all national treasures they snatched from Huaxia, we don't need to be polite to Charles." ”

"Okay, I'll see. ”

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

Before the Tang Dynasty, although there were calligraphy and paintings here, the number was much rarer, and there were more in the Sui Dynasty, but there was none of the calligraphy and paintings in the Five Dynasties period, which made Fang Yi, who originally wanted to see Wang Xizhi's real work, quite disappointed.

"There is a painting with Zhu Suiliang's inscription here?"

Fang Yi looked at them one by one, and when he spread out a portrait of a person, his eyes suddenly lit up, because the inscription at the end of the painting actually had a seal of Zhu Suiliang, and the font looked a little like Zhu Suiliang's true handwriting in Fang Yi's eyes.

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

Fang Yi looked at Qin Qiong next to that character and the words describing Qin Qiong's life, his eyes became brighter and brighter, he followed Sun Lianda and Yu Xuan not in vain, from Sun Lianda Fang Yi learned a lot of knowledge of antique identification, and from Yu Xuan, Fang Yi learned a lot of knowledge about history and miscellaneous conversations.

This portrait of the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty was a measure of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, 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 paint all the 24 heroes who followed him in the southern and northern wars when he founded the country and displayed them in an attic of the royal family, so that future generations can admire and praise their achievements, and also let the people of the Tang Dynasty see the generous heart of the royal courtiers, which can be said to be counted in one fell swoop.

According to historical records, the portraits of the twenty-four heroes were all painted by Yan Liben, the court painter at that time, and the merits of the heroes were praised by Zhu Suiliang, but the attic where the portraits were placed was destroyed by a fire, and all the paintings inside were reduced to ashes.

Therefore, the picture of the fourteen heroes is only seen in the description of historians and poets, and there is no image to be examined, there are only four fragments of the Song Dynasty Youshi Xiong carved stone, which can not be identified, although the Qing Dynasty has Suzhou **** re-engraved prints, but it is far from the Tang Dynasty, and the portraits of the twenty-four heroes that have been handed down behind are all copied by the descendants.

There is a lot of controversy in history about the original portraits of the twenty-four heroes, some people say that those paintings are not Yan Liben's authentic works, and some people say that Yan Liben inscribed together with Zhu Suiliang in order to leave a name in history, in short, those original works have been burned, and it is impossible to verify under the different opinions.

Sun Lianda has also researched this history, according to Sun Lianda's research, these portraits do not seem to have been burned, but in the late Tang Dynasty, wars broke out, and no one knows where these authentic works made by Yan Liben and Zhu Suiliang fell to, and they could only be regarded as being burned in that fire.

Therefore, the discovery of Xia Yi can be said to fill a major gap in Chinese archaeology, and has extremely profound significance for the study of the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty and the art of painting.

"And?"

Fang Yi looked at the place marked with the label of the Tang Dynasty again, and Fang Yi was stunned for a moment at this time, because he saw that there were actually three more of the same scroll, and he hurriedly opened it to take a look, and Fang Yi saw three more portraits, all of which were among the twenty-four heroes of the Lingyan Pavilion in the early Tang Dynasty.

"How did these paintings end up in the hands of the Windsor family?"

A huge question popped up in Fang Yi's mind, he didn't know how these portraits were preserved back then, and he also didn't know how these ancient paintings of national treasures that should be in China drifted across the ocean and came to the other side of the world, all of which was a mystery to Fang Yi now.

As for the authenticity of these ancient paintings, Fang Yi could distinguish them as soon as he got started, after he was promoted to the innate level, the supernatural powers he had before had undergone some changes.

Perhaps because of the improvement in cultivation, the aura contained in those antiquities became very small to Fang Yi, and when Fang Yi wanted to absorb those qi, his body would involuntarily reject it.

But when Fang Yi used his divine sense to observe the cultural relics, he could clearly sense the age of the objects in his hands.

Fang Yi didn't know why there was such a change, but he was holding this ancient painting now, and the time when this painting existed unconsciously appeared in his mind, and after a little conversion, it happened to be the period when Li Shimin was emperor in the early Tang Dynasty.

After Fang Yi came out of that mysterious space, he could be regarded as embarking on the path of a cultivator, for things like identifying the age of antiques, Fang Yi hadn't touched it for a long time, and he hadn't deliberately used this kind of ability on certain objects, and he had only used it three or four times so far.

"Fang Yi, what are you looking at?"

Just when Fang Yi was stunned, Song Tianyu's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "What kind of paintings are these? Are they very precious?" I said you put the paintings away first, and see how the short sword I picked is." ”

"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 held by Song Tianyu, nodded and said: "This sword is good, it is not like it is made of ordinary materials, but I don't know much about the weapons used by cultivators, and I can't tell whether they are good or bad." ”

"I just took a look, this short sword should be the best in their collection, do you want to come and have a look?"

Song Tianyu hadn't completely detached himself from the excitement of his hope of advancing to the top at this time, he pulled Fang Yi with his hand and said, "No matter how valuable these cultural relics are, they don't matter how important it is to increase our strength, I think you can also pick something that cultivators can use, why don't I give you this short sword?"

"Old Song, you better keep it for yourself, if there is a chance in the future, I still want to refine the weapon by myself. ”

Fang Yi shook his head when he heard this, since he got the fragment of the refining weapon in Zhang Yi's hand, Fang Yi couldn't see the ordinary weapons very well, even the broken sword he got in that mysterious space, in Fang Yi's opinion, it was not so perfect, if it wasn't for the lack of cultivation and some materials, Fang Yi would have reforged it a long time ago.

"You also need materials to refine weapons yourself. ”

Song Tianyu pointed to the row of Bogu shelves leaning against the corner of the wall, and said: "Even if these things are not good, the materials should be good, you pick a few pieces and disassemble them, 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 needed more than twenty kinds of precious materials, the golden essence Fang Yi already had it now, and he could also disassemble the broken sword to make up a few, but there were still a few materials that Fang Yi didn't have in his hand.

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

Picking up four or five things, Fang Yi looked at them and put them back, revealing a wry smile on his face, if these were cultural relics, Fang Yi might be able to identify their merits and ages, but for the objects used by cultivators, Fang Yi's kind of magical power was completely useless.

Fang Yi had checked these objects before, and he didn't find any particularly valuable items, and with Fang Yi's current level of identification of cultivator weapons, he really couldn't tell what kind of materials these weapons were made of, and whether these materials were useful to him.

However, these things seemed to contain a trace of spirituality in them, Fang Yi knew in his hand that they should be things used by cultivators, when Fang Yi picked up a short knife and injected it with innate true qi, the short knife suddenly groaned in a low voice, and a trace of sword light faintly revealed from its blade.

"Good stuff!"

After seeing the blade of the short knife, Song Tianyu couldn't help but exclaim, you know, he only chose these weapons from the sharpness of the weapon itself, but he couldn't inject true qi into the weapon like Fang Yi to make it show its true power.

"It's just so-so. ”

Fang Yi shook his head and put the short knife back in its place, although this knife was extraordinary, it was much worse than the broken flying sword that Fang Yi got from the mysterious space, as long as the broken sword was slightly injected with a little true qi, it would shoot out a sword ray more than a meter long, and its material was obviously higher than this short knife.

"There is a description of the material on the refining fragment, and it seems that it will be necessary to study it well in the future. ”

Although Fang Yi had read the fragment of the refining artifact in its entirety, the content in it was vague and difficult to understand, and it was not something that could be understood by reading it through at all, and with Fang Yi's attainments in ancient texts, he couldn't figure out many of the contents of it.

The current Fang Yi only felt that he lacked knowledge, and he decided to wait for this matter to be over, and when he returned to the capital, he would study the fragments of the refining weapon carefully, and master some of the above knowledge as soon as possible, so that if he encountered the materials that cultivators could use in the future, he would not be like now.

"I can't distinguish these things, but I might as well take back those paintings of Yan Liben. ”

Fang Yi looked at the things on the Bogu shelf, and at the same time pondered in his heart, the weapons of the Eastern cultivators collected by the Windsor family were far less than the cultural relics from Huaxia, and it didn't take much effort for Fang Yi to look at all the objects on the Bogu shelf.

"Huh, what is this?" Just as Fang Yi wanted to retract his gaze, he suddenly found that at the bottom of the Bogu frame, there was a small ding, which was only the size of a fist and had a swarthy body.

Fang Yi observed that the objects used by these cultivators were all matched by their eyes and divine sense, and when Fang Yi swept over this small tripod at a glance, his divine sense found that there did not seem to be any objects there, and there was an error between his eyes and divine sense, which was the first time for Fang Yi.

"The Divine Sense can't even find it?"

Fang Yi rubbed his eyes, and once again swept over the dark Xiaoding with his divine sense, but the result was exactly the same as before, Fang Yi's eyes could clearly see Xiaoding, but in Fang Yi's divine sense, that Xiaoding was as if it didn't exist, and there was no discovery at all.

Fang Yi bent down and took the dark small tripod in his hand, the thing was not sinking, it was about two catties in weight, and Fang Yi found that there were many patterns carved on this small tripod, and there were some inscriptions that Fang Yi did not know in the patterns, and a simple atmosphere came to his face.

"There's something weird about this thing!"

No matter how Fang Yi used his divine sense to check, he couldn't find Xiao Ding's existence, after closing his eyes, if he couldn't clearly feel the texture of Xiao Ding in his hands, Fang Yi would really think that he didn't have something in his hands.

Since Fang Yi's promotion, his divine consciousness has increased countless times compared to before the innate level, it is completely a qualitative change, even if Fang Yi closes his eyes now, any object within a radius of a hundred meters around him can be clearly presented in Fang Yi's divine consciousness.

But only this strange Xiao Ding was completely detached from the exploration of Fang Yi's divine sense, it was like being immune to divine consciousness, it could be seen with his eyes, but he couldn't detect Xiao Ding's existence with his divine sense.

"Fang Yi, what is this?"

Seeing that Fang Yi was not interested in those formed weapons, he just took an inconspicuous small object and looked at it repeatedly, Song Tianyu interrupted Fang Yi's train of thought again, and now Fang Yi's behavior made Song Tianyu very incomprehensible.

"I don't know, I can't tell. ”

Fang Yi responded to Song Tianyu's question with a wry smile, it was the first time for him that his divine sense could not find it, but because of this, this Xiao Ding was deeply attracted to Fang Yi, and subconsciously Fang Yi thought that this should be a good thing.

"I can't tell you what you're doing with it?"

Song Tianyu said with some hatred, the things used by cultivators are very rare even in the hidden group, especially weapons, the weapons suitable for cultivators, there is not even one in the hidden group, so in Song Tianyu's mind, Fang Yi's choice of that short knife is the right reason.

"If you can't see the clues, it's not necessarily bad, maybe it's a baby. ”

Fang Yi shook his head and said, "Old Song, I want this Xiao Ding, and I also want the other few paintings of Yan Liben, plus your short sword, there are just six things, Charles should agree, right?"

"Of course he agreed, but it would be too much of a loss for us to choose such things. ”

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Song Tianyu smiled bitterly, if according to his meaning, those few ancient paintings would have no value at all for cultivators, and as for the small tripod in Fang Yi's hand, it would be even more worthless.
