"Professor Xu, what did you say?"

Xu Yongnian looked at the painting score, and said solemnly: "What are the characteristics of these Buddha statues he painted?"

"Characteristic?Are they all drawn with ink and pen?"

Xu Yongnian patted the young man's head, "Look at the face, I told you in class." ”

"Forgot ......"

"Really. Didn't you notice any features of the Buddha's face that he painted?"

"When you say that, it seems to be a little different, it seems to be a little flat. ”

Xu Yongnian shook his head and said: "Zhang Jiaxiang! This has been forgotten? Zhang Seng painted the Buddha, the face is short and gorgeous, this glamorous word is not the meaning of bewitching, but a kind of fleshy and plump health, you look at this line, and here, this one, are all this characteristic, so obvious, and the difference with the Buddha statues you have seen today is so obvious, you don't see it?"

The "research monks" brought by Xu Yongnian in the back were also confused, and they talked about this in class?

"You guys, you don't listen to the class one by one, it seems that the painter invited by Master Jiwang this time is an extraordinary teacher. Although this Buddha statue has only a few brushstrokes, the image of compassion makes people feel at ease, the face is short and glamorous, and the technique is transcendent. ”

"Then let's go along?"

Xu Yongnian suddenly remembered that the two of them had gone inside, so he came back to his senses and closed the score, "Hurry up and follow me." Xiao Yang, go to the car and bring the lunch box and mineral water, I see, I can't get out for a while. ”

"Okay, Professor Yang. ”

……

……

Zhong Yue followed Ji Wang all the way, and then there were mural Buddha statues in several grottoes, but the preservation was good, and you could still get a glimpse of one or two, Ji Wang was also introduced, Zhong Yue's eyes swept over, and he did not linger too much.

"Master Jiwang, Mr. Qiu, wait for us. ”

"Professor Yang, why are you in such a hurry? Aren't you going to come out of that grotto?"

Yang Yongnian smiled, handed back the painting score to Zhong Yue, and said: "I really misunderstood just now, I thought that Mr. Qiu, like those third-rate painters, came to cheat some funds, and only after reading the painting score did he know that he was a master, so I told Xiao Yang to go to the bento and water, and then we will have a light meal in the tourist rest area in front, how about it?"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Qiu and I have to repair the remnants of the 156 caves, this way of reading and repairing, this is the first time I have heard of it, it seems that Mr. Qiu Shan is also very interested in Buddhist culture. ”

Zhong Yue smiled, "Don't dare, I just combined the remnants on the wall from the process of reading the scriptures from you." ”

"Mr. Qiu, it's just that you have seen so many places in one breath, and it is impossible to restore so many at one time?"

Zhong Yue smiled: "It's really not, but it's not suitable for restoring the murals today, instead of waiting there, it's better to consult Zen with Master Jiwang in other grottoes, Master Jiwang, do you say yes?"

Yang Yongnian was also embarrassed to refuse, this time he brought the scientific research team over, and it was also approved, if it was an ordinary person, he really couldn't enter some grottoes.

Monk Jiwang also said, "Professor Yang, I think Mr. Qiu's proposal is very good. ”

"Okay, let's go to the grotto of the late Tang Dynasty. ”

Originally, there was only the 72nd cave on this trip, but now it has become a sightseeing ......

"This grotto is a bit badly damaged, so it is generally closed, and only scientific research will be allowed to enter, there are no lighting facilities, and it is not allowed to use strong flashlights here, which will make the pigments in these murals chemically change and lose color, so a few, there will be some. Yang Yongnian was still very professional in some scientific research, and handed over several low-power cold lights to Zhong Yue and Ji Wang.

Several people enter the inside of the grotto, in the three arched Buddha caves, there are three Buddhas in the middle and large sides, and the top is an eight-sided spire, but the murals on the surface have peeled off and are almost out of the ground, and there is almost no content.

"Let's not set foot here, just stand outside and take a look. The painting on the ground is quite a bit of a look. ”

Zhong Yue used a cold light lamp to photograph the ground, although the drawings of the ground are intact, but it seems that they are all uniform ornaments, not pen paintings.

"It's so badly damaged that I can't tell where the Buddhas are enshrined, and it's hard to deduce what the mural is. ”

"Systematic detection of the rare mural "Futian Jingchang", is it included?"

Zhong Yue raised his eyebrows, he didn't answer the system's question first, but asked in an inquiring tone, "Does Master Jiwang know the Futian Sutra?"

"What do you mean, what is painted here is the Futian Sutra?" This time, it was not Ji Wang who was speaking, but Yang Yongnian behind him asked a little hurriedly.

Zhong Yue nodded.

"Are you sure?"

Master Jiwang looked at Zhong Yue and reminded: "Qiu Shan, in this Mogao Grottoes, most of the murals depict the world of Buddhism in a realistic way, and only a very few murals with religious themes depict real life. ”

Yang Yongnian also said very seriously: "At present, there are only two "Futian Jing Changes" in Cave 296 and Cave 302 in Mogao Grottoes, so if what Mr. Qiu said is true, it is really a very important discovery!"

Ji Wang asked, "Is it possible to repair and restore it?" In the grotto before, Zhong Yue told Ji Wang that he could restore the original appearance of the murals, but in this grotto, even Zhong Yue was not sure, because this is a mural that depicts reality, so there is no scripture to use as a basis, and the damage is serious, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of repair.

"I'll give it a try. ”

Yang Yongnian said: "If you want to go in, bring shoe covers, because it is not open to tourists, and there are no protections. ”

Zhong Yue nodded and said, "Okay." ”

He put on his shoes and went into the center of the grotto, where he wandered through the grotto. Zhong Yue's advantage over those painters or some cameras is that in addition to his sensitive sense of touch, the ink rhyme can still carry his consciousness, which is a characteristic that no camera has.

It's too broken, the murals here are more damaged than the previous grotto, Zhong Yue slowly attached the ink rhyme to the murals, but in addition to some individual painting wall portraits can be restored, some large blank places, there is no way to know what the content is, there is no scripture story line, and the practical meaning of the Futian Sutra is very few, it is even more difficult to capture the handwriting, even Zhong Yue opened the world of ink rhyme, can not see the clues.

He looked around several times, but still didn't catch the slightest clue, and was about to step out, when suddenly he saw that the stone wall was different from the other stone walls, so he walked over, stared at it for a long time, and then walked back.

"How's it going?"

Zhong Yue took away the ink rhyme world, took off the shoe covers on his feet, shook his head and said, "I think the mural is difficult to repair, the damage is too serious." ”

The unhappy young graduate student behind him sneered: "Come on, let's go for nothing, let's go to dinner." ”

Ji Wang smiled and said, "It's okay to thank you for your hard work." There are many professional masters who repair murals here who are helpless, so I will bring you here to take a casual look. ”

Zhong Yue held a shoe cover in his hand, looked at the backs of several people who were about to leave, and said lightly: "But there is no cave here." ”

"What!"
