Chapter 399: The Magnificent Museum

……

From the corner of the Wangjiawan intersection to the south, there is an endless stream of tourists passing by the two people along the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 However, when they came to the three-way intersection on the south side of Wangjiawan, they did not continue to the south with Wang Zheng, but turned to the west. Obviously, they are all planning to go to Jinguang Temple to see the night pearl!

Looking at the silver-white points of light that could be faintly seen even during the day, Wang Yingying said with a hint of longing: "Wang Zheng, with this night pearl, you don't have to worry about the lack of tourists in this mountain villa in the future!"

"Otherwise, why would I spend so much money to help them build the Golden Light Temple?"

Anyway, Wang Ying didn't know the inside story, so naturally Wang Zheng had to say it himself.

"You've made a good deal!"

"Let's go, it's almost three o'clock in the afternoon, but I promised Yixue to go back and have dinner with her in the evening!"

"By the way, your kid's Yanfu is really enviable!"

"If you are envious, you will be envious, anyway, the wood is already in the boat, and you are not afraid of your kid's third party interfering!"

"That might be!"

"Dare, Lao Tzu broke your legs!"

While chatting and farting, the two walked south along the winding bluestone road, and after about a kilometer or so, they had come to the foot of West Tiebi Mountain, which is nearly 800 meters high.

The flat bluestone road leads directly to the belly of West Tiebi Mountain, and of course, before entering, you must first pass through a passage that is 12 meters wide, 4 meters high, and 50 meters long.

The passage was silvery white on all sides, and there were ten subtle invisible cracks in the middle of the passage, and Wang Ying occasionally noticed and asked.

Wang Zheng's answer was part of the villa's active defense system. Because something more shocking Wang Zheng appeared behind, he didn't continue to ask. In fact, the ten cracks were divided into five groups, each with a distance of 5 meters!

When the museum closes, the five sets of cracks are no longer cracks, but five alloy doors up to 20 centimeters thick.

Under the electric drive, the five alloy doors are closed, and the mountain that uses the 'high-strength wall coagulant' can be called 'solid'. More than the vast majority of national anti-nuclear fortifications, more than any bank vault.

"Oh my God, is this really your museum?"

Seeing everything behind the passage, Wang Ying couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

It is no wonder that he is like this, everything presented in front of him is too grand! The glorious hall supported by the stone pillars of the coiling dragon with a diameter of 1 meter and a height of 12 meters seems to be endless.

"Isn't it magnificent?" Wang Zheng asked with satisfaction as he looked at everything in front of him.

Nodding dumbfounded, Wang Ying, who reacted slightly after a long time, asked, "How big is it?"

"300 meters long, 12 meters high, 90 meters wide, supported by 20 dragon stone pillars!"

"My good man, bigger than two football fields?" Wang Ying said.

"That's right!"

Wang Zheng nodded affirmatively.

Wang Ying looked at everything around him in shock and curiosity, and at the same time, his feet unconsciously walked towards the depths of the magnificent hall.

The huge dragon pillars divide the vast hall into 30 x 30 giant squares, and at the top of each square are ornate and huge chandeliers. Illuminate the entire magnificent hall.

At the same time, at the lower end of the coiling dragon pillar, there is also a circle of wooden seats for people to rest. There is also a 5-meter-high bronze statue between the north-south dragon pillars.

"Wang Zheng, why is there a bronze statue between the two rows of pillars near the door?

The bronze statue of Confucius by the famous sculptor Mr. Zeng Chenggang in front of us and the bronze statue of Zeus by the famous British sculptor Henry Moore next to it were the first to arrive, so they were placed here! The remaining 16 works of other sculptors will also arrive in the second half of the year. If you come back at the end of the year, all 18 bronze sculptures will be in place!"

"Zeng Chenggang, Henry Moore, you are really willing to spend money!" Looking at the huge sculpture, Wang Ying's tone was a little complicated.

Both of them are the top bronze sculptors at home and abroad, and their works are naturally not cheap.

"I want to create a world-class private museum, not a small exhibition hall in the countryside for self-entertainment, so I am willing to spend money!"

"You guy is not ambitious!" After nodding his head clearly, Wang Ying smiled.

"Whether it's ambition or ideals, you have to pursue a little bit in life! Otherwise, it would be too boring to live!"

"But your pursuit is too big! Calligraphy and Painting Museum, Porcelain Museum, Miscellaneous Museum, Natural History Museum, Machinery Exhibition Hall, Asia Pavilion, American Pavilion, European Pavilion, Africa Pavilion, you want to cover the whole world!"

Wang Ying read out the huge signs hanging on the left and right sides of the hall in turn!

"Hehe, the pattern is very large, but there is nothing in many branch libraries now! Let's go, I'll take you over to have a look!"

Wang Ying nodded, and followed Wang Zheng towards the direction where the calligraphy and painting hall was located.

Located on the left side of the museum's entrance, the Gallery is about 45 meters wide and about the same height as the hall, with 12-meter-wide passages on each of its left and right sides.

The Calligraphy and Painting Pavilion is adjacent to the Porcelain Pavilion, and further on the edge are the Miscellaneous Pavilion, the Natural History Museum, and the Machinery Exhibition Gallery, all of which are of equal width and occupy the left side of the magnificent hall. The Asian, American, European and African pavilions occupy the right side of the grand hall.

Because the passage and the exhibition hall are all extended with the mountain of Tiebi Mountain, they are all curves, and you can't see the bottom at a glance. However, judging from its deep situation, it is obviously not short.

But when Wang Zheng broke the 800-meter data, it still scared Wang Ying.

It is 800 meters long and 45 meters wide, but it covers an area of 36,000 square meters! Moreover, the interior of the exhibition hall is divided into upper and lower floors, which suddenly increases the area of the calligraphy and painting exhibition hall to 72,000 square meters. This number is larger than the entire exhibition area of many large museums, but in Wang Zheng's case, it is just a 'calligraphy and painting museum'!

However, if he knew that Wang Zheng still had plans to continue to dig more exhibition space on the mountain, would he be more surprised by his crazy idea?

Walking into the long corridor with a height and width of 12 meters and a length of 800 meters, the feeling of insignificance in Wang Ying's heart disappeared a lot compared to when he was in the hall just now! However, under the light of the gorgeous chandelier, he also discovered something new.

In particular, the obvious depression in the left-hand wall is even more confusing!

"Is there anything going to put in here?"

"Well, I'm going to order a batch of Chinese paintings from modern masters to put in!" Wang Zheng nodded.

"But the height of these three meters is too high!"

"The height of the corridor reaches 12 meters, if the embedded painting is too narrow, wouldn't it be too discordant!" After the words fell, Wang Zheng turned around and walked into the exhibition hall next to him.

The pavilion is different from the corridor outside, and the height is significantly shorter, about five meters. In the middle, there is no longer an unobstructed view, but some long tempered glass display cases are placed in an orderly manner, similar in height and size to the display cases of jewelry stores. However, the display cases here are all tilted at 45 degrees.

In addition, around the wall, there is a 90-degree vertical exhibition space covered with tempered glass. Under the bright spotlights, Chinese landscape paintings come into view!

In the entire pavilion, which is 80 meters long, 43 meters wide, and 5 meters high, there are more than 200 landscapes of various sizes!

However, compared to the exhibition space of more than 10,000 square meters, this painting is far from enough to fill the entire space. Not even half. But because it is sparsely placed, it does not look vacant.

"Why are they all landscape paintings?"

"The characters are drawn in the back, and the flowers and birds are in the back row!" Wang Zheng pointed to the space behind!

Hearing this, Wang Ying after a general glance at the entire landscape painting exhibition hall, through the two spaces connected by the portal, entered the back of the exhibition hall of the same size as the 'landscape painting exhibition hall', sure enough, as Wang Zheng said, the display here is all 'figure painting', including lady paintings, portrait paintings, customs paintings, Taoist paintings, historical story paintings and so on. The 'Figure Painting Pavilion' is the 'Flower and Bird Painting Pavilion' at the back, and the Flower and Bird Painting Pavilion is followed by the Modern Calligraphy Pavilion, the Modern Oil Painting Pavilion, the Modern Tablet Exhibition Hall, and the Qing Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall, the Ming Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall, the Song and Yuan Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall and the National Treasure Pavilion.

Each pavilion is equal in size. With the exception of the Modern and Contemporary Calligraphy Pavilion, the other pavilions go backwards and have fewer exhibits. In particular, there are very few things in the 'Song and Yuan Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall' and the 'National Treasure Hall'.

In fact, the "Song and Yuan Dynasty Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Hall" is better, there are more than 30 works, although only one-third of them belong to the handiwork of famous artists, and the others are either anonymous or not famous. But after all, they are all art treasures of the Song and Yuan dynasties.

But when it came to the final 'National Treasure Pavilion', there were six flat display cases in the huge pavilion, each with a distance of several meters. And there are no recessed display cases on the walls like other pavilions.

But the artwork in each display case moved Wang Ying!

"Huang Tingjian's "Pillar Inscription", Wang Xizhi's "Wandering Eyes", and Shu Shike's "Xia Yu Water Control Map" five generations later?

Wang Zheng's National Treasure Museum has a total of five exhibits, Mi Fu's "Cursive Poetry Scroll" and the five generations of Wuyue Wang Qian Yu handscroll "Cursive Handbook", all of which he knew before. But although the other three pieces had been heard of earlier, they never thought that they were all in Wang Zheng's hands. What made him even more unacceptable was that he didn't know anything before?

"I can't tell for a while. After taking you on a tour of the entire exhibition hall, I'll find a chance to tell you in detail!"

Wang Ying nodded, "Hey, that's not right! Five of the six display cases have exhibits, why is this one empty?"

"It's still being restored, and it won't be on display until a month!"

"I see!" After nodding his head, a trace of excitement quickly appeared on Wang Ying's face, and he pulled Wang Zheng to ask, "Tell me quickly, what kind of treasure is it?"

"Hehe, the famous Southern Dynasty master Lu Tanwei's "Manjushri Descent Map"!" Speaking of this painting, Wang Zheng still had excitement on his face.

After being stunned for a while, Wang Ying was shocked: "That Lu Tanwei, who is known as the 'Six Dynasties and Four Families', is as famous as Gu Kaizhi?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? In addition to him, there were a few Lu Tanwei during the Southern Dynasties!"

"Is it the real one, or is it a copy of the posterity?"

It is no wonder that Wang Ying asked, 90% of the calligraphy and paintings handed down before the Sui and Tang dynasties in modern times are copies of the Tang and Song dynasties. For example, Gu Kaizhi's "Luo Shen Futu", which ranks first among China's top ten famous paintings, is a copy of the Song Dynasty in five volumes at home and abroad, and Yan Liben's "Bu Yuan Tu", the second of China's top ten famous paintings, is also a copy of the Song Dynasty. The famous Wang Xizhi's "Sunny Post When the Snow is Fast" is a copy of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the value of the facsimile can be called a national treasure even if the original is lost. But in the end, it is a few grades worse than the original in terms of value.

"Of course it's the real thing!

"I don't believe it!" Wang Ying shook her head like a rattle. It's no wonder that he is like this, the authentic works of famous artists before the Sui Dynasty don't even have the country, how can Wang Zheng find them.

"Don't believe it!"

Looking at Wang Zheng's sworn appearance, Wang Ying, who was scratched to the itch in his heart, impatiently stepped forward and grabbed his arm, shaking it vigorously, "I believe it, I believe in you! Take me to see it, I want to see it!"

"Stop, stop shaking! Even if you break my arm, I won't be able to show you the painting!" Wang Zheng hurriedly said.

"Why? Why can't it be?"

"Didn't I tell you earlier? This painting is still in a state of restoration!"

"Even if it's being repaired, don't delay looking?" Wang Ying did not relent.

Lu Tanwei's authentic work "Manjushri Spiritual Diagram" is too attractive to him!

"I'm in a senior restorer, not in the villa. So, even if I promise to take you to see it, you won't be able to see it!"

"Really?"

Seeing his disappointed look, Wang Zheng nodded, "Don't worry, the painting will be completed in a month at most." It's never too late for you to come and see it!"

"Well, remember when the time comes, be sure to call me!"

"Got it, don't worry!"

After comforting Wang Ying, Wang Zheng pulled him out of the National Treasure Pavilion, preparing to go out through the portal on the right side of the Song and Yuan Painting and Calligraphy Museum. But when he approached the door, Wang Ying stopped suddenly!

"What's wrong with you?"

"No! I remember that when you were auctioned in Jiadechun, you spent hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot Pan Tianshou's "Eagle Rock Mountain Flowers" and Li Keran's "Jinggang Mountain", why didn't you see it when you came here just now?"

Wang Ying thought that Wang Zheng put these two paintings in the National Treasure Museum, but although there were surprises in the National Treasure Museum, the two masterpieces of 100 million yuan he wanted to see were still missing.

"So you said this!

Wang Zheng took the lead and walked towards an upward staircase in the corner of the Song and Yuan Painting and Calligraphy Museum.
