Zhong Yue painted in the grotto, some Buddha statues Zhong Yue used fine brushes to outline, some are a few strokes, he is not in the pursuit of his own painting to be exquisite, but in the record of his own brushwork, even if a few strokes of the Buddha statues, are compassionate.

Of course, there are also many Buddha statues that have gaps in the craftsmen themselves, as well as the changes of the times and the improvement of aesthetics. Suddenly, a cordon was set up in front of him, blocking Zhong Yue's way.

"Sir, you can't go in. ”

"Is the grotto being repaired?"

"No, there is a team of experts in archaeology, and it is temporarily closed. ”

Zhong Yue frowned, "Are the grottoes in the back closed?"

"There aren't any of them, but if you want to get through, you'll have to pass through these seventy-two caves, so either you can wander around the other grottoes in front of you, or you'll just wait here. ”

Zhong Yue looked inside curiously, "The murals in this grotto have been studied for a long time, could there be any other discoveries?"

"It's inconvenient to disclose. ”

Zhong Yue chuckled, moved away, opened the Moyun World, and looked into the grotto.

Before the cave murals, many old men with gloves were holding documents and studying the Zen on the murals. There was also a monk standing on one side offering advice.

According to the contents of this sutra, this painting should depict the beautiful scene of Maitreya's world when Maitreya was born as a Buddha. ”

Zhong Yue Moyun looks at the murals, Maitreya Buddha is seated on the lotus, surrounded by many Bodhisattvas and celestial beings. The platform pavilion stands in the middle, and the green water and lotus flowers are in full bloom under the platform. In the shaving diagram below, the bhikshunis stand or kneel, or talk to each other, or whisper, or meditate, or look forward, vividly portraying that nervous expression and complex state of mind.

The content of the murals here is much more exquisite than the several grottoes that Zhong Yue has observed before, so it is no wonder that a team will come to study them. This kind of magnificent color and delicate lines can be roughly inferred to be the murals left in the Tang Dynasty, otherwise the painting style would definitely not be so grand.

Zhong Yue was still staring at the mural, and suddenly the monk turned around, as if across the grotto, staring at Zhong Yue from the air. It was only an instant that Zhong Yue took back the Moyun World.

At that moment, he clearly saw that the monk in red clothes did not look at the grotto, but looked at him beyond time and space.

Zhong Yue felt that something was wrong, so he prepared to leave, thinking that after the archaeological team left, he would come over to draw the score.

"This gentleman, stay. ”

Zhong Yue turned around and saw that the young monk was holding his head, looking like a Tibetan monk, so he folded his hands and saluted, "Hello, little master." ”

"You're a painter, aren't you?"

Zhong Yue glanced at the sketchpad in his hand, and if he said no, he would slap himself in the face.

"Yes. ”

"I wonder if I can please do me a favor?"

You say. ”

"My name is Ji Wang, I am one of the members of Dunhuang Studies, and I came to assist the archaeological team in studying the warp paintings in the 72 caves, but an important mural in this cave has been blurred because of its age, and I would like to ask you to help restore it. ”

Zhong Yue smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, I'm not a professional mural researcher, so I don't dare to take this job." ”

"I'm sure you can. Ji Wang stared at Zhong Yue's eyes, "Didn't you see it just now?"

Zhong Yue also raised his eyebrows when he heard Ji Wang Xuanzhi's question, which means that he also saw himself through the grotto, is it revealing this meaning?

"Then I'll try one or two. ”

"Don't worry, we don't ask you to repair the mural directly, and it is impossible to repair the artifact like this, you just need to draw it on paper, please. ”

Zhong Yue took the drawing board and walked back.

"Teacher Jiwang......"

"This is my friend. ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, just ......"

Zhong Yue smiled slightly, looked at the young researcher standing on the edge of the cordon, and said, "It's okay. ”

"What's your name?"

"Hills and hills. Zhong Yue didn't know the identity of this Jiwang, so he still used a pseudonym, after all, he was no longer the young and ignorant and ignorant teenager he was at the beginning.

"Mr. Qiu, I don't know if you are an oil painter or a Chinese painter?"

"Chinese painting. ”

Ji Wang was surprised and said, "Do you know how to write?"

"I understand a little. ”

"That's just right. This mural was made in the Tang Dynasty, that is, the figure painting of Gongbi, if it is restored in the form of a sketch oil painting, it will lose its original taste, I have a hunch, the Buddha will guide me to find the destined person. ”

Zhong Yue: "......"

That's a bit of a mystery.

……

……

"Master Jiwang, this ...... This is the painter you found?" The Dunhuang academic group studying in the grottoes looked at Zhong Yue's young age, and some did not believe it.

"What kind of ability can such a young painter have? In my opinion, it is better to find the old painters who studied thangka before, after all, they have experience. ”

Ji Wang shook his head and said, "It's different. The restoration of this mural cannot be restored in accordance with the single form of thangka, it must be restored by a Chinese painter with a certain foundation in Chinese painting. ”

Zhong Yue looked at this Jiwang monk talking nonsense seriously, and he was also convinced, he had just chatted with him for a few words, this was very accomplished, or was he invited here?

They only met five minutes ago......

"Really, why haven't I heard of such a person in the Chinese painting world?"

"Yes, Dr. Xu. I have been working in Ganzhou for so many years, and I have never heard of such a task in the art world. ”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, "Master Jiwang, I see the broken marks on the wall of this painting, I don't know if it is a Maitreya Sutra painting?"

This inquiry immediately stunned the others in the Dunhuang academic group. After many times they collected data, interviewed eminent monks, and deduced some useful information from the fragments of the paintings.

The Maitreya diagram is only the first step, and as for being able to infer the warp painting, it is even more capable.

What is a sutra painting, that is, a picture that depicts the content of the Buddhist scriptures or the story of the Buddha, also known as disguise, Buddhist scriptures in disguise, so people who can conclude that it is a sutra change painting themselves also have a deep study of the Buddhist scriptures, so that they can know whether it is a sutra change.

"Jiwang...... Gen Jiwang, you told him, right?"

Master Jiwang shook his head and said, "I don't even dare to judge this painting as a warp painting. ”

At this moment, the people of the Dunhuang Academic Group were immediately impressed by Zhong Yue.

"Mr. Qiu Shan, I hope you will forgive me for my rudeness just now. ”

Zhong Yue's brows furrowed, "Grinding ink." ”

"Huh?"

Zhong Yue was holding the ink inkstone in his hand, but his eyes were staring at the mural, "Grinding ink." ”
