readx;?! --The beginning of the chapter--The information that Li Jun is looking for is indeed a mythological story, and the protagonist of the story can also be said to be a household name, and Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan, who are famous in history. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

These two are famous masters of poetry and painting in the Ming Dynasty, and they are also famous talents at that time, because the two are of the same age and have a common hobby, so they have similar interests at an early age, and since then the two have traveled around and created a lot of folk stories.

The legend about the unicorn Venus inkstone was passed down from the folk in this context.

It is said that Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan traveled through the mountains and rivers somewhere, and accidentally broke into an ancient temple, and found that the scenery in the temple was beautiful.

But what made them feel depressed and distressed was that no matter how much they painted, they could not draw the beauty of the temple, and they could not satisfy the two of them after painting it several times in a row.

After that, when the abbot of the temple heard about this, he told them that because they used mortal ink paper, of course they couldn't draw this fairy scene, so the abbot waved his sleeves in front of them, and a dragon and a tiger galloped on auspicious clouds appeared in the sky.

The abbot took the dragon and the tiger, and leaned over the two gods in the stone used for paperweight on the table, and in an instant, the stone became an inkstone, and the inkstone was carved with two exquisite carvings, a dragon and a tiger, and the abbot gave this inkstone to Tang Bohu.

After that, the abbot did the same thing, and the unicorn and Venus appeared in the sky again, and soon after, another inkstone carved with the unicorn Venus also came into being, and this inkstone fell into the hands of Zhu Zhishan.

With these two inkstones, the abbot transformed the two willow branches into a magic brush, and collected the dew falling in the sky to make fairy ink, and changed the stone slab in front of the ancient temple into a white painting paper, Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan used these things to finally draw the fairy scene of the ancient temple.

Because the beautiful scenery painted by the two was like a living, the abbot liked it very much, so he left the painting, and then gave the two divine inkstones to Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan as a thank you gift.

This is the origin and legend of the so-called Qilin Venus inkstone, but everyone present is an adult, and their IQ is online, so it is impossible to believe the myths and legends here, so they all looked at Li Jun with suspicious eyes.

Li Jun also subconsciously touched his nose, a little uncomfortable: "I think that although this mythical story is a little fake, maybe there is a prototype to be examined, maybe there is something in history, but it is not so exaggerated." ”

When the others heard this, they couldn't help but sigh, obviously disapproving of Li Jun's explanation.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that at this time, Huo Sining over there suddenly spoke, she nodded calmly, and said:

"You're right, this mythical story does have a prototype to be examined!"

Huo Sining looked at Li Jun with a smile: "There are no historical traces of the Qilin Venus inkstone, but the Shenlong Shenhu inkstone is indeed recorded in history, and it is also a representative work of Sheyan, but it is not as exaggerated as myths and legends." ”

It is said that Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan traveled once, and when they arrived in Shecheng, they were attracted by the beautiful scenery of Shecheng, so after some discussion, the two decided to live in Shecheng, and then make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings. ”

"One day, a lot of people came to buy their paintings, but for some reason, there was a problem with their inkstone, and they couldn't grind the ink. ”

The guests who bought the paintings were urging, and both of them were very anxious, especially Tang Bohu, who was even more anxious and sweating. ”

"At this time, a strong man in a green shirt came, and when this strong man saw this situation, he asked them very curiously, what kind of inkstone do you use? Tang Bohu told the strong man that we use Shaoxing Yue inkstone. ”

"When the strong man heard this, he said, No wonder you can't grind the ink, because you don't use the famous inkstone!"

When he said this, Huo Sining's tone paused for a moment, and then continued:

After that, the strong man ran to an ancient temple nearby, and soon after, he brought two inkstones and gave them to Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan. ”

Hearing this, Li Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, he was attracted by Huo Sining's story, and hurriedly asked: "Then these two inkstones, are they the Divine Dragon Divine Tiger Inkstone and the Qilin Venus Inkstone?"

Huo Sining nodded, and shook his head again: "The book only mentions that the inkstone held by Tang Bohu is the Shenlong Shenhu inkstone, and it feels very delicate after touching it. ”

When the strong man saw Tang Yin and Zhu Yunming, he knew the identities of Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan, and was immediately surprised. ”

Huo Sining's story, everyone listened to it and was skeptical, but soon someone found the "Ming Picture Record" from the Internet, and did find the story that Huo Sining said, but the ancient text is not as detailed as Huo Sining's vernacular, just a few lines, it does mention the word Shenlong Shenhu, but it does not mention what the inkstone of Zhuzhishan looks like.

"I think that this mythical story should be from the myth of the story mentioned in the "Ming Picture Record", and the Qilin Venus inkstone mentioned in it should be another piece of Yan corresponding to the Shenlong Shenhu inkstone that is not mentioned in the "Ming Picture Record". ”

After Huo Sining finished telling the story, he rationally analyzed the two stories and made his own judgment.

It's just that his analysis didn't convince everyone, and Old Man Li spoke directly: "This is just your analysis, and it can't be used as evidence." ”

Huo Sining nodded: "I know that this story in "Ming Painting" can't be verified, but I still have an important piece of evidence that I didn't say. In the story I just mentioned, the strong man in the green shirt is another famous figure in history, if you know who this person is, you should not doubt it. ”

Old Man Li was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is this person?"

Huo Sining smiled: "Wang Dechu!"
