She is watching and having too much fun, and if she continues to play, it is likely to become a travel illustrate. Besides, he was fascinated, and it was the first time he had done such a fun thing, although he was a pit man, he didn't feel guilty at all, but he had a lot of pleasure, and his long-standing resentment was vented.

"If you draw it again, it won't look like a treasure map, but like a landscape painting." There is a bit of praise in Zuo Ling's words.

Besides, after taking a closer look, I felt that Zuo Ling's words made sense, so I accepted her advice, stopped the game on the map, and finally filled in the lower right corner: Hongwu Ten Years of Fengzuo. This treasure map is done.

The paper used in the treasure map will definitely stand the test, but the ink color is too new, which is easy to do, after all, it is ancient ink, and the concentration of color is fine, but it needs to take a little more effort to make it look old.

He first dried the ink thoroughly on the candle, and then further dyed it with sulfur, which had already been found and delivered by Zuo Ling's maid ring when the housekeeper's wife went to look for the paper.

The brimstone had been smoked for a full hour, and the treasure map looked like a completely old thing. Besides, I felt that it was not enough, and carefully rubbed it with my hands, took off my shoes and stepped on it with my feet, the movements looked very rough, but in fact, I needed to control the strength with extreme care.

After this step was completed, there was still the last step, he found some fine sand and loess, carefully sprinkled on it, and then rubbed it, stepped on it, and after half an hour, swept the sand and soil, this picture can never be just drawn with his eyes, the paper and ink color is definitely the color of the early years of Hongwu.

"Is this how a fake antique is faked?" Zuo Ling was dumbfounded.

"Almost, there is a master who once used a paper shell to make the Zhou Dynasty's Simu Wuding, and it is said that even the appraisal experts in the palace have lost their eyes."

"Paper shells? How is it possible, the difference in weight is too great. Zuo Ling felt incredulous.

"So it's a master, even a master of masters." Speaking of which, besides, there is a feeling of "heart-to-heart" in my heart. Counterfeiting is indeed a lack of virtue, but some counterfeiting techniques are comparable to art.

"You've done this before?"

Zuo Ling saw that he was very familiar with it, and his methods were so old, it was inevitable that he would have this idea.

"I haven't done it. But I've never eaten pork and seen a pig run. Besides, in a hurry, the moral reputation of the individual is a great deal of right and wrong, and there is no room for ambiguity.

"I just asked casually, and I didn't doubt what you meant. Besides, I think it's art to fake it to your extent. Zuo Ling said with a smile.

Besides, he smiled, to be honest, he did it so handily just now, and soon entered that state, even he was surprised, after all, this was his first time cheating, and he felt similar to a veteran, no wonder Zuo Ling felt so much.

"Counterfeits are often made of fine art, and imitations must also reach a certain artistic level. The so-called counterfeiting is just a fraud in the years, a fraud in the identity of the author, if it is not a famous calligrapher and painter, there is really no way to make a fake painting and calligraphy. Besides, he said.

"You mean calligraphy and painting, if it is a counterfeit such as Gu Ding, Qin bricks and Han tiles, there should be no need for such a high artistic standard, right?" Zuo Ling is obviously also interested in this line of work.

"It also depends on whether the object of the counterfeit is a work of art, if so, it can only be done by an artist, if not, such as ordinary Qin bricks and Han tiles, it does not have to be an artist. But you have to be an expert, and you have to be everyone. ”

"Honestly, this is really your first time fake?" Zuo Lingqiao asked with a smile.

"Of course, the conscience of heaven and earth is definitely the first time, but it may not be the last, I hope there will be such a good opportunity in the future." And smirk.

"Cut, you're almost addicted to deception." Zuo Ling couldn't help laughing.

She didn't alarm the sleeping maids, she went out to boil water, boiled a pot of tea, poured them into two quaint porcelain tea cups, and sat opposite each other to drink tea, sharing this rare moment of leisure that belongs to the two of them.

At this time, the window was slightly white, it was already the time when the East wanted to know, and the first rays of morning light were about to shine out, sprinkled all over the world.

In a short time, the rooster crowed, and the first rays of morning light shot into the window. There was also movement outside, and a few of the older women got up and began to bust themselves with their morning affairs, while the old mothers-in-law shook the maids up one by one, ready to serve their masters.

"Young Master Xu, Miss, why did you two sit all night?" A sleepy-eyed maid saw the two people sitting opposite each other under the candle that had just been extinguished, as if she had seen a ghost.

"We call this a candlestick talk." Zuo Ling smiled.

"Candle talk? These two people can't be sick. If you don't go to bed, you have to sit under a candle and light a lamp to boil oil. Yahuan couldn't understand Miss's words, and muttered to herself after turning around.

After breakfast, he went to the residence of the English duchess and took out the forged treasure map to show Jun.

"This ...... I told you to forge one, who told you to take the real thing? Jun was taken aback, thinking he was sick.

Not to mention just a few glances, even if he looked at it carefully for a day, he might not be able to see that this was a fake picture. In one night, who has the ability to create such a fake picture? Something impossible!

"If I forge one, I have to copy this one, so what's the difference?" Besides, he pretended to be aggrieved.

"What? This one is really real, didn't you say you didn't have it on you? The British Duchess was also shocked, and hurriedly came up to take a closer look at the picture.

"This is troublesome, you should destroy this real picture, and then forge a plausible one." Jun felt a little tricky.

"What's the trouble with this, besides, if you do the right thing, you should come up with the real picture. These treasures are all the wealth accumulated by Emperor Taizu at home and abroad, and they are all the people's fat and people's ointment, which should not be buried in the soil and not see the light of day, but should be dug up and returned to the people. The English duchess took the picture, touched it left and right, and wanted to swallow it at once. In her eyes, this picture represents hundreds of millions of wealth.

Besides, she sneered in her heart, understanding that the Duchess of Guo was greedy, and she came to Fengyang in a hurry this time, but she didn't have this intention, but she hadn't been sure that he had a treasure map on him before, so she didn't show her true intentions.

Returning it to the people? Hmph, the Duchess wants to return it to her pocket, at least partially. Besides, he sneered in his heart.

"I can't take this." Xiaojun resolutely snatched the treasure map from the hands of the Duchess of the Kingdom, but when he held it in his hand, he felt that he was holding a hot potato, and he couldn't throw it, and it was still hot to hold.

"What's not to take, but your Dao Gate can be grabbed, snatched, and taken, but our Guogong Mansion can't take it? What's more, it's not that I want to swallow it alone, I want to dedicate it to the imperial court, and use this treasure for the national economy and people's livelihood, which is a great merit. The Duchess's voice was a little hoarse, her face flushed, and her tone was excited.

"No, if this picture is not destroyed, let's not even think about leaving here." Jun's face changed in an instant, and he was about to tear the picture off as he spoke.

"No, it can't be destroyed." The British duchess snatched it up and stuffed it in her sleeve.

"Madam, give it to me, this thing is not a joke, you have to lose your head." Jun was so anxious that his head was sweating.

He knew best the methods of those people in his Daomen, although the Daomen precepts did not allow them to attack the living, it was external, not internal. Now that even the ancestral precepts have been broken, it means that the above is already desperate, and there are many invisible means of killing people in the empty Dao Gate, if not a hundred, but also eighty.

Xiao Jun's trip was to secretly muddy the waters and destroy the intentions above, and he never thought that he would get his hands on this treasure, he understood that this was impossible.

Besides, looking at the two of them coldly, there was a burst of happiness in his heart, the pit he dug had already achieved initial results. These two were just the first to jump in, and there should be quite a few others waiting in line behind.

"If Madame dedicates this picture to the court, it will be a great fortune for the court and the people." He said with a smile, looking sincere.

"If you have this intention, then why didn't you offer it to the court before?" Jun suddenly looked at the situation with alarm.

"I didn't know what kind of treasure map it was, I thought it was an ancestral painting. I heard you say it yesterday, and when I went back, I paid attention to it, and I guess it's the treasure map you said, and I don't know if it's true or not. Besides, he said innocently.

"Is this a treasure map, then? You can't make a mistake. The English Duchess hurriedly took out another picture to examine it carefully.

"It should be this one, isn't there a treasure location marked on it, if it's an ordinary map, why draw a snake and draw a × to mark it, and destroy the layout of the entire picture." Xiaojun said coldly.

Xiaojun was not happy but afraid in his heart now, he didn't expect that the British duchess suddenly had the evil idea of getting involved, and this would be a big trouble. He just wants to make a fake one, he can hand it over to the top, and if he can't dig up treasures on it, he naturally won't move overseas, so he can stay with the Duchess of the country for a long time.

"Is that what you're talking about? By the way, how can there be a line of small words 'open sesame', what does it mean? ”

"Open Sesame?" Xiao Jun hurriedly came over to take a look, he just glanced at the × that marked the location of the treasure, so he didn't look closely.

"What does that mean?"

The two of them studied it. Besides, he pretended to be okay on the side, but he was also worried in his heart, whether the "sesame open door" he set up would add to the snake, and now is the time to test.

"It's a password." Jun studied for a while and explained.

"Password? What do you mean, there are still people guarding the treasure? ”

The British Duchess Fox asked, the passion in her heart was reduced by half at once, if there is a guard, naturally only recognize the person designated by Zhu Yuanzhang to get the treasure, then naturally there is only Emperor Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen is long gone, let it be, only the person designated by Emperor Jianwen is qualified to get the treasure.

Who could this person be? Could it be the person in front of you: besides. The English Duchess's eyes widened, and she looked at the young man beside her, not knowing what to ask him for a moment.
