"Dong Lao, what kind of thing is this, it is so valuable? Isn't it just a villain's book? Tens of thousands of yuan is worth 100,000 yuan! This is really unimaginable. Mu Ying asked in surprise as she looked at the comic book.

"The villain book also depends on who drew it and who wrote it, you guys, you are too underestimating this book. Before Dong Lao could speak, the thin Li Lao became excited.

Zhang Tianyuan has always felt strange, listening to the tone of these two old men, they seem to have a story with this comic book, and it seems that this story is not simple.

He thought for a while and said: "Whether the thing is sold or not is another story, but the words of the second elder really aroused my interest, if I don't know the reason for this, I can't even sleep well." ”

Dong Lao Ha said with a smile: "If you want to know Lu Dao, it doesn't hurt to tell you, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's just a little embarrassing to think about it." ”

"Shame?"

"That's right, it was still when we were young, there was no such thing as collecting villain books, most of the villain books on the street were very cheap, and we wanted to treasure the treasure and didn't pay attention to it at all. When Dong Lao said this, he sighed and said: "It's just young and frivolous, I don't know what to say!"

Li Lao on the side continued Dong Lao's words and said: "In fact, this villain book, the first thing I found was the old man, it was an old lady from the countryside, carefully wrapped in oil paper, came to ask us if we bought it, my level at that time and now can not be compared, plus I didn't look carefully, I thought that the old lady was short of money, so I gave him a few yuan and sent her away." ”

Later, the old lady actually found Dong Lao, and I was more sure that this person was a liar, because of his emotion, he also knocked the oil paper bag on the ground, but it happened to be seen by an Oriental person, the Oriental man was Swenwen, wearing a pair of old pedantic glasses, and spoke fluent Chinese, saying that he had been pouring antiques in the country during the previous Republic of China, and fell in love with the villain book, and spent a hundred yuan to buy it. ”

Speaking of this, Li Lao sighed, a little unable to speak.

Dong Lao then took over the conversation and said: "You also know that a hundred yuan at that time was very valuable, which is definitely equivalent to 10,000 yuan now, that Oriental people are so generous, it immediately attracted the attention of the two of us, we only remembered to read the villain book carefully, only then did we find that we missed the good things, but unfortunately it was too late, the Oriental people refused to sell it, and then took the villain book to the East, and there was no news." ”

After hearing these words, Zhang Tianyuan was also secretly speechless, he had actually experienced such a story with the things he picked up casually.

His idea was that this thing was probably stolen by someone on the Oriental side, and then the thief didn't know the goods, so he sold it to someone else casually, and then returned to China, which may be regarded as a kind of fate.

"I don't believe it, it's just a villain book, at most it has only started after the founding of the People's Republic of China, no matter how expensive it is, where can it be expensive? Where can it be treasured?" Xu Gang especially didn't want to believe that he might have burned a lot of treasures back then, so he said so excitedly.

At this time, Boss Xiao shook his head and said: "Young man, go back and read more books, comic books have a long history in our country, and they are definitely no less than ceramics and jade!"

Boss Murong on the side also helped: "That's right, my country's comic strips can be traced back to the portrait stones of the Han Dynasty, the Dunhuang Huang murals of the Northern Wei Dynasty, etc., and the stories or biographies are depicted in continuous frames. The scroll paintings of the Wei and Jin dynasties already had the characteristics of comic strips, such as Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Fu Picture Scroll" and "Female History Zhen Picture Scroll" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, all of which were characters that appeared continuously on the scroll paintings, constituting the plot of the story, and there was a simple text description next to the picture, which was very similar to the later comic books in form. ”

"So powerful!" Xu Gang swallowed, a little incredulous.

Dong Lao smiled and said: "The villain book in my hand is not as early as the Wei and Jin dynasties, this should be the work of the Qing Dynasty, which is very similar to modern comic books, but all the paintings are drawn in the form of Chinese paintings, with the unique characteristics of our country!"

"Qing Qing Qing Qing Dynasty!" Xu Gang said several words with a clear face, and his mouth was not good: "I thought it was at most something from the Republic of China." ”

"That's right! It's a villain book from the Qing Dynasty, or a comic book!" Dong Lao said categorically: "Otherwise, why do you think I paid such a high price?"

"That's not right, even if it's a thing from the Qing Dynasty, but for this villain book, 100,000 yuan is too much, right?" Liu Mengxun gently brushed his hair and thought for a while.

"Miss Liu is really smart, it seems that I can't tell the truth today. Dong Lao Ha said with a smile.

"Actually, Elder Dong, we also want to know about Lu Dao. Boss Xiao said.

Dong Lao nodded and said, "I won't say it today, you will also know the Tao in the future, then it seems that the old man and I are hypocritical." In fact, the reason why this thing is precious is not only because it is a Qing Dynasty thing, but also because the text content on it is from the hands of a very famous Qing person. ”

"It can't be Pu Songling's real handiwork, right?" asked Xu Gang.

Dong Lao shook his head and said, "That's not it, this person's name is Wang Shizhen!

"It turned out to be him!" Zhang Tianyuan immediately thought of some information about Wang Shizhen, his study during this period of time was not a failure, since the earth qi transformed the body, even the memory has become surprisingly good, although it is not yet unforgettable, but after watching it three or four times, it can be truly remembered.

Wang Shizhen (1634-1711), formerly known as Wang Shizhen, the character Zizhen, Yishang, Ruan Ting, also known as Yuyang Shanren, known as Wang Yuyang, is Jane. Emperor Kangxi called it "excellent in poetry and writing" and "erudite and good at poetry". In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, Wang Shizhen was summoned by the emperor to "write poems and give orders, change the lectures of the Hanlin Academy, move to read, and enter the Shinan study", becoming the first person in the Qing Dynasty Hanchen to be filled by Cao Chong. Emperor Kangxi also issued an edict asking Wang Shizhen to submit a manuscript of poetry, which was a very rare honor at that time. ”

Zhang Tianyuan simply said Wang Shizhen's information like an endorsement, which also made Xu Gang, a stunned young man, somewhat understand this person.

Several other people don't have to listen to his nonsense, because their understanding of Wang Shizhen may be much stronger than Zhang Tianyuan.

"Well, many people probably know the story of Pu Songling and Wang Shizhen, after the book "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai" was completed, Pu Songling was unable to print it due to his poor family, and his friend Wang Shizhen was very fond of Pu Songling, thinking that he was a genius, and inscribed a poem for "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai": "The aunt who speaks in vain listens to it, and the bean shed melon is like silk." It is expected that he should be tired of being a human language, and he loves to listen to the autumn grave ghost singing. This may have become the key to the publication of this book in the future! But few people know that Wang Shizhen not only commented on "Strange Tales from Liao Zhai", but also loved this book even more, and later teamed up with an unknown artist to make such a comic book illustrated. Dong Lao added.

"It's unbelievable that there is such a secret. Zhang Tianyuan said in surprise.

"There are too many magical things in the world, and there are countless magical people in the antique world, and many things, even now, I still don't know what's going on, high-tech? What about high-tech? Unless you can reconstruct every bit of history, many secrets can only be found from some clues. Li Lao snorted coldly and said.

"Okay, okay, young people have little experience, don't be so harsh, but Brother Zhang, can you give this thing to the old man, I said that I would never regret it if I said 100,000 yuan. "Dong Lao is still thinking about buying this comic book.
