Just when Yun Xi was hesitating whether to unravel this "Xiaoxiang Lingfang Map", Shi Pian came over and said: "Hey, where did you get a calligraphy and painting, this calligraphy and painting is really good, and the name is also good "Xiaoxiang Lingfang Map". Are you going to collect it yourself or are you going to give it away? ”

"Pity, this calligraphy and painting is a treasure, how can I give it away? And there is a secret in this calligraphy and painting, if it can be solved, it may become two calligraphy and paintings, hahaha. ”

"What, this calligraphy and painting can be turned into two, you're making me happy."

"My dear, what I said is true, this technique is called 'picture-in-picture' in the antique world, that is to say, the original owner wants to keep his painting, so he adds a calligraphy and painting on top of the original painting, so that the real original painting is hidden under the sub-painting, so that others will not play the idea of the original painting after seeing the sub-painting, and on the other hand, the original painting can also be kept in the hands of the owner for a long time, so there is the emergence of the technique of 'picture-in-picture'.

Originally, this method came from the last years of the Qing Dynasty, when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered the Forbidden City and looted countless treasures, and even some domestic and foreign profiteers even started the idea of folk treasures, so some small families had to resort to this 'picture-in-picture' method. However, those who want to use the technique of 'picture-in-picture' must also be a master of counterfeiting, otherwise they will not only hurt the original painting, but may also expose the true face of the original painting, which is also known as insufficient success and more failure. ”

Yun Xi's words made Shi Pian stunned, she had never encountered such a bizarre thing when she was so old, even if her master was a generation of "thief saints", he had never told her that there was such a method.

At this time, Shi Pi was driven by curiosity, so he couldn't help but pick up the calligraphy and painting and examine it carefully. But no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't see where the counterfeiting of this calligraphy and painting was, so she said very unhappily: "Stinky Taoist, you shouldn't be fooling me, why didn't I see that there was another painting hidden in this calligraphy and painting, if you don't conjure up two calligraphy and paintings for me today, see how I clean you up in a while, hum." ”

Looking at Shi Pity's cute appearance with a pouting mouth, Yun Xi couldn't help but hold her in his arms and said, "Pity, how could I lie to you, since you want to see one painting become two paintings, then I'll conjure it up for you to see." However, I still have to make some preparations before the change, after all, this "Xiaoxiang Lingfang Picture" is also a good painting, I don't want to damage it, and at the same time I don't want to hurt the original painting, I believe that the original painting is definitely a rare treasure. ”

Yun Xi really had a lot of things to prepare, in addition to a basin of water, he also brought gloves, towels, tweezers, magnifying glasses, steam irons and other tools, and Shi Pi saw that his curiosity was getting heavier and heavier.

At this time, Yun Xi spread the calligraphy and painting on a long table, he first removed the mounting at both ends of the calligraphy and painting, and then carefully observed the flaws in the calligraphy and painting, as long as he first found the location of the counterfeit before he could start from there.

Yun Xi used his heavenly eye at this moment, and soon saw a very hidden gap in the upper left corner of the calligraphy and painting. At this time, he first dipped the towel in clean water, and then carefully put the wet towel close to the hidden crevice. Then he picked up the steam iron and used the steam to dissolve the adhesion on the calligraphy and painting, and soon the gap was clearly displayed in front of the two of them.

At this time, Shi Pity finally believed what Yun Xi said, and sure enough, there was a painting hidden under this calligraphy and painting. At this time, Yun Xi picked up the magnifying glass beside him and carefully observed the adhesion between the two calligraphy and paintings, as long as this adhesion can be dissolved, the two calligraphy and paintings can be easily untied.

At this time, Yun Xi was like a doctor operating on a patient, carefully and patiently cracking the calligraphy and painting, and Shi Pity did not disturb Yun Xi's work, she silently stood aside to wipe the sweat on Yun Xi's forehead. More than three hours passed, and the separation of calligraphy and painting gradually came to an end. When Yun Xi carefully broke the last process, a complete calligraphy and painting finally appeared in front of Yun Xi's eyes.

When Yun Xi looked at the second calligraphy and painting, his whole person seemed to be immobilized, completely stunned, and his mouth was still open, and he didn't close it for a while. After seeing his expression, Shi Pian on the side said angrily: "Stinky Taoist, what's wrong with you, is there anything wrong with this calligraphy and painting?" ”

At this time, Yun Xi rubbed his eyes before he said in amazement: "Wife, I think we have picked up a treasure, and it is a rare treasure." If I'm not mistaken, this painting should be Huang Gongwang's "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map", which is definitely a national treasure, and its value is no less than the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" in the Beijing Museum. ”

When Yun Xi talked about "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", Shi Pity couldn't help but exclaim. She was very familiar with the calligraphy and painting, when the Ninth Group received information that a group of international thieves was going to come to the capital to steal the priceless "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", and Shangguan Ling sent Shi Pity to stop this gang of bandits. When the gang of international thieves was about to succeed, Shi Pity made a move, she not only recaptured the national treasure, but also beat the gang of international thieves, and now the gang of thieves are still in prison, which is why Shi Pity will exclaim for this calligraphy and painting, because she knows the value of this painting.

At this time, Shi Pi was also stunned, and it took a while for her to come to her senses and say, "Yunxi, are you sure you read this calligraphy and painting correctly and the "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" are both from the same person's handwriting? ”

"Wife, I'm an appraiser, and I've never looked at it so far, so I'm very responsible to say that this "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map" is indeed from Huang Gongwang's original work. At the same time, I also know why this calligraphy and painting is hidden, because its value is so great that anyone who sees it wants to take it for themselves, not to mention those who have no power and power. ”

"This Huang Gongwang is quite powerful, his calligraphy and paintings are so valuable, why haven't a few authentic paintings been handed down?"

"My good wife, even if there are genuine works, who dares to take them out and look at people, as the so-called is not afraid of thieves stealing, but afraid of thieves." Yun Xi's words immediately made Shi Pity nod her head, she was an apprentice of the Saint Thief, and she knew this aspect of the matter best.

At this time, Yun Xi gave Shi Pian a general account of the deeds of Huang Gongwang, Huang Gongwang (1269-1354), a painter of the Yuan Dynasty. His surname is Lu, his name is Jian, Han nationality, and he is from Changshu County, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province. Later, he succeeded Yongjiafu (now Wenzhou City, Zhejiang) Pingyang County (now assigned to Cangnan County) Huang as a son, living in Yushan (now Yishan) hill, because of the change of surname Huang, the name of the public, the word for a long time, the number of a peak, the big idiot Taoist. In middle age, he served as a rafter official of the Central Taiwan Procuratorate, and later converted to the "Quanzhen Religion" and sold divination in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

He is good at painting landscapes, learning from Dong Yuan and Ju Ran, and concurrently cultivating Li Chengfa, and has been instructed by Zhao Mengfu. The ink brushes are sophisticated, simple and profound. It also applies a little light ochre on the ink, and is known as "shallow Jiang landscape". In his later years, he painted with grass brushwork, and his charm was majestic and vast, and he was called the "Four Yuan Families" together with Wu Zhen, Ni Zan and Wang Meng. He is good at writing and poetry, and has written "Writing Landscape Tips", which is a talk about the experience of landscape painting. The surviving works include "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map", "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map", "Danya Jade Tree Map", "Tianchi Stone Wall Map" and so on.

At that time, after listening to Yun Xi's explanation, I also had a preliminary understanding of this Yuan Dynasty painter. But what she cares about most is the "Nine Peaks Snow Ji Map" on the table, which is a priceless treasure, and she has to find a place to keep it well. Shi Pian thought of several places to save this painting, but in the end she rejected it. Originally, they wanted to put it in their weapon room, but they were afraid that they would hurt the painting when they fiddled with the weapon, so they thought of the safe again, but when they put the painting in the safe, they were sorry and worried that it would be remembered by the thief, and if it was stolen by the thief, wouldn't it be a loss for them to steal the door.

Just when Shi Pity was in a dilemma, Yun Xi smiled and said, "Why don't you put the painting in the bank safe, it's heavily guarded, and there are monitors watching all the time." “

"No, what if someone adjusts the bag, who knows if your painting is real or fake."

Looking at Shi Pip's tangled look, Yun Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly, but soon he thought of a solution. I saw him gently hug him and said with pity: "Wife, why don't you give this painting to my master, next month is the master's birthday, it just so happens that this calligraphy and painting can be given to his old man as a birthday gift, I believe that he will like it." ”

"Well, that's a good idea. By the way, I forgot to tell you a very important thing, your master, Daoist Qinglong, has been out of the customs some time ago, and has returned to CQ's Laojun Temple. He also called to ask how you were doing, but you were still abroad at the time, and you were busy during the time you came back, so I forgot to tell you. But I also have good news to inform you, that is, your master Qinglong Dao Chang has broken through to the realm of innate Mahayana, and now your Wudang faction has two masters of innate Mahayana, plus you, the youngest acquired consummation, the current Wudang faction has been listed as one of the strongest sects in the national art world, and even Shaolin and Qingcheng factions are ranked behind your Wudang faction. ”

When Yun Xi heard the news, he couldn't help but pick up Shi Pity and spin around in the courtyard, he was really excited at the moment, he didn't expect that Master would break through to the realm of Innate Mahayana in this retreat, how could this not make Yun Xi happy. At the same time, he even thought that it would be safer to put this calligraphy and painting next to the master than anywhere, and no one would dare to fight the idea of an innate master, unless he was impatient.
