PS: Three more, ask for votes.

In the laughter, everyone slowly came to Tao Lao's residential area, and then Wang Guan and the driver laboriously lifted the box up, knocked on the door, and carefully placed it in the hall.

At the same time, Tao Lao was very surprised: "Why are you here?" And carrying a box......"

"Teacher, something has been found."

Putting aside the matter of being sold, Qiao Yu was still relatively happy, and hurriedly handed the canvas to Tao Lao.

"What?"

After Tao Lao was stunned, he immediately said in surprise: "Really got it back?" ”

"Teacher, just look at it." Qiao Yu said with a smile: "Not only did I find the picture, but I also gained a Buddha statue from the Tang Dynasty by the way." ”

"Buddha statue?" Tao Lao carefully spread out the canvas and said very strangely: "What Buddha statue? ”

"This is it."

At this time, Wang Guan also came out like the Buddha statue in the box, Tao Lao took advantage of the situation, his body trembled slightly, and he shouted: "Isn't this the Lushena Buddha of the No. 17 Grotto, how can it be here?" ”

"Someone stole it." Qiao Yu was also a little confused: "But then again, when we went to Tianlong Mountain to visit the grottoes, the Buddha statue in Grotto No. 17 seemed to be still ......."

"I guess it's been dropped." Wang Guan groaned: "The grotto is an imitation, this is the real thing." ”

"I'll see." Tao Lao calmed down, walked over quickly, went directly to the back of the Buddha statue, and then groped a little under the back seat of the Buddha statue, and his face changed immediately: "Sure enough, it's true." ”

"Teacher, are you so sure?" Qiao Yu didn't believe it, but was just a little curious.

"You can't be wrong." Tao Lao explained: "This Lushena Buddha, according to our research, should be something in the Wu Zetian period, and the base is engraved with Guangwu inscription. Today, however, most of the inscriptions have been weathered, but some remnants have been preserved. ”

"Guang Wuming?" Qiao Yu was even more puzzled: "What is it?" ”

"A song of merit. Flattering sycophancy articles. Wang Guan said with a smile: "At that time, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty respected Laozi Li Er as his ancestor, so he implemented the national policy of respecting the Tao and suppressing the Buddha, which made a group of monks extremely dissatisfied. When it came to Wu Zetian's period, some monks felt that the opportunity had come, and immediately brewed this article to curry favor with Wu Zetian......"

As for the content of the article, it is also simple, it is nothing more than a hint that Wu Zetian is a Buddha in the air, and he should replace Li Tang as the heroine. To put it bluntly, it is political speculation, a very blatant sycophancy. ”

Wang Guan's tone was also a little sarcastic: "However, the effect is very significant. Wu Zetian originally had the idea of becoming an emperor by himself. When this Guang Wuming appeared, it seemed that someone sent a pillow when he was sleepy, and he was naturally very happy. After officially claiming the title of emperor, he immediately reciprocated the peach, reversing the arrangement of Emperor Li Tang in the Buddha first, and clearly stipulating that the Buddha first and then the Tao. ”

"Oh." Qiao Yu nodded ignorantly.

"Heartbreaking, heartbreaking."

At this time, Tao Lao also understood what was going on, and his body trembled with anger. Furious, he said: "These people are really so daring, they are completely greedy, and they actually do such a thing, are they not afraid of becoming sinners of the nation." ”

"Teacher. You said it yourself, they have fallen into the eyes of money. People die for money, birds die for food, and they are not even afraid of losing their heads. Do you care about anything else? Qiao Yu persuaded: "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." You don't have to be angry with them, it won't be a few days. They get the punishment they deserve. ”

"I'm not angry, I'm heartache." Tao Lao lamented: "In the past, our country was not angry, and it was helpless to be robbed of things, but now no one is robbing them at all, but someone ......is sending them out."

"Tao Lao, you don't have to be too sad." Wang Guan comforted: "The main thing is that there are too many people in our country, and it is inevitable that there will be some good and bad when there are too many people. ”

"It's just that it's not good to generalize." Qiao Yu hurriedly agreed.

"Alas......"

Elder Tao sighed for a long time, and the joy of recovering the lost rubbings was gone. After a long while, he asked, "How did you get it back?" Your grandfather made a move, right? ”

"Right...... Not right either. ”

Qiao Yu's eyes moved, and he deliberately exhaled: "The thing was sent back by Grandpa, but he wanted to keep it for himself in private, and then Wang Guan decisively sold me before I got it back." That's why I've lost a lot, and you have to compensate me, teacher......"

At first, Tao Lao was naturally a little inexplicable, but he fully understood it under Qiao Yu's explanation.

"Hehe, your ancestors and grandchildren are fighting again." Tao Lao smiled, then shook his head and said, "This is the right matter, Qiao Si is a measured person, it should be just a joke." ”

"If the goal is achieved, then it must be a joke, otherwise, you don't know who he is, I'm afraid the joke will become true." Qiao Yu said helplessly: "To put it bluntly, he is almost the same as the ancient feudal patriarch." ”

"It's not that exaggerated, Qiao Si is still relatively open-minded." Having said that, Tao Lao's confidence was not very strong, and he smiled at the end and said, "Anyway, I still want to thank you." ”

"Teacher, it's just verbal praise, and there's nothing substantial?" Qiao Yu said with a smile.

This was originally a joke, but Tao Lao seemed to take it seriously, and after thinking about it, he said with a smile: "You wait, I'll get it." ”

"Teacher, I'm joking."

Hearing this, Qiao Yu naturally hurriedly explained.

"I originally wanted it to be given to you......" Tao Lao smiled, and walked straight into the room, and soon came out with a scroll.

"What is this?"

Qiao Yu may not accept this gift, but he is also curious whether the scroll is a word or a painting.

"A painting, a meaningful painting." Tao Lao was a little thoughtful, and said softly: "This is my work from twenty years ago, and it has been kept until now, so I will give it to you now." ”

"Teacher, your drawing?"

Qiao Yu became interested, and immediately took the scroll over and carefully spread it on the table. I saw that the picture was in the shape of a vertical scroll, and the painting was a female figure, with her hair in a high bun, her face was delicate, her clothes were fluttering, but her figure was a little plump, and she was wearing very gorgeous clothes, so she naturally had a graceful and luxurious bearing.

"Teacher, who is this?" Qiao Yu looked at it for a moment, and said inexplicably: "It seems to be an ancient person." ”

At this time, Wang looked at it and said with a smile: "The characters are plump and graceful, and the colors are elegant and rich, which should be the style of the Tang Dynasty ladies' paintings." The drawing is very realistic, and in terms of the effect of the graphics, it should belong to the beam painting. ”

"What is a bouquet painting?"

This was what Bayeux asked, and she was also curious.

"Before the Tang and Song dynasties, murals were prevalent, and painters painted them standing up. Even if he paints on silk cloth, he is also mostly stretched on the frame and paints vertically, similar to painting oil paintings today. Wang Guan explained: "The angle of the pen and the strength of the arm of this kind of vertical painting are different from those laid on the table, and it is easy to identify. ”

"That's right." Tao Lao smiled and nodded: "Actually, this belongs to the category of murals, but I didn't paint it on the wall, but on paper." ”

"Teacher, you rarely draw on paper."

At the same time, Qiao Yu was a little surprised, and then said tactfully: "You said that this painting has been treasured for twenty years, then it must be your beloved thing, you can just keep it, what do you give it to me." ”

"Don't think it's precious." Tao Lao smiled and said: "You must know that twenty years ago, my painting skills had not yet reached the peak state, and the things I painted could barely catch the eye, which belonged to the second- and third-rate level. ”

"Tao Lao, you are humble."

Wang Guan looked at the pictures, but had different opinions: "Your painting has won the charm of the ladies of the Tang Dynasty, and the elegance in the plump and graceful is the unique style of the beauties of the Tang Dynasty." This kind of style full of prosperity, self-confidence, satisfaction, and atmosphere, no one before or since, reflects the spiritual state of an era. ”

"Especially the woman in the painting, dressed in gorgeous costumes, between gestures, but there is no empty, lonely and boring feeling of sadness and sadness in the ordinary palace maid picture, but full of heroic women who do not let the eyebrows be bearded." Wang Guan said with a smile: "In current words, this is a very confident and independent woman......

"Of course." Tao Lao smiled slightly: "The first female emperor in history, can you not be confident." ”

"What?"

Wang Guan was stunned for a moment and said in astonishment: "This is a portrait of Wu Zetian." ”

"Nine times out of ten!" Tao Laohuai said: "Twenty years ago, I accepted the invitation of the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes to conduct a thorough care of the cave murals. At that time, the state did not invest as deeply in the maintenance of local cultural relics as it does now, so the situation of the cave paintings was naturally not very good......"

"The first time I saw this painting, it was on the walls of a grotto. At that time, the mural was in dilapidation, and most of the figures were very vague, but this one was relatively well preserved. ”

Speaking of this, Tao Lao sighed lightly: "At that hour, I was also a little famous, and it was inevitable that I would be a little arrogant under the welcome of everyone, and my tail was completely cocked. When discussing the restoration of the murals, he did not listen to the advice of others and insisted on repainting with certain mineral pigments. ”

"The effect of the repainting is remarkable, and the mural has been given a new look, restoring its former brilliant colors. However, after a few months, the mural suddenly cracked naturally, and it could not be repaired, so I could only watch it all crumble. ”

Tao Lao shook his head slightly, with a bitter smile on his face: "It turns out that the pigment I use, which is a more harmful chemical dye, will conflict with the discovery of ancient mineral pigments, so it has caused this disastrous consequence." Seeing that situation, I was very remorseful, and after a month of thinking about it, I had the current painting. ”

When Qiao Yu heard this, he naturally comforted: "Teacher, you didn't mean to ......."

"No, you don't understand, whether intentionally or unintentionally, that's not a reason." Tao Lao shook his head and sighed again: "It's like now, after twenty years, I have made the same mistake differently." (To be continued.) )
