"It's hard to say."
At this time, Qian Lao said with a smile: "There are some things that you can only understand, even if you tell you, you can't understand them." You learn slowly, and one day you will understand. ”
"Alas......" Yu Feibai let out a long sigh.
"Feibai, don't think I'm fooling you." Qian Lao explained, his expression was a little more remembrance, as if he remembered some past: "Back then, when I was young, I also met a strange person. He is very powerful, when he appraisals calligraphy and paintings, he doesn't use his eyes to look at them at all, but touches them with his hands, and he knows the authenticity of things when he touches them. ”
"I thought, impossible, isn't this nonsense? Because painting is a flat thing, not a three-dimensional model, you can feel different outlines. But people really have this ability, I specially took a painting to ask for advice, and he really touched it, and clearly said the specific age. ”
Speaking of this, Qian Lao also sighed a little: "At that time, I felt that this person was really a god, so I sincerely asked him for the secret." Then, he also gave me a sentence, which I can only understand, not speak. It also made me feel more and practice, study repeatedly, and understand it after a long time. ”
"At that time, I was young and vigorous, so I naturally thought that this person was hiding his secrets. But after slowly pondering, I slowly understood the truth. His touch is mainly to feel the pulp of calligraphy and painting, especially the different textures of silk and paper, and the impact of repeated friction is different. ”
Qian Lao smiled and said: "As long as you feel it with your heart, firmly remember the nuances of silk paper in each dynasty, every period, and every place." Naturally, you can do this amazing thing. Without him, he is familiar with his hands. ”
"How long will it take to practice to get to that level?" Yu Feibai couldn't help but be speechless.
"That's why I want you to learn more and study more."
Qian Lao smiled: "Of course, it is not recommended that you learn from that strange person. After all, this cannot be used as a scientific standard, and the authenticity of calligraphy and painting is finally determined, and the mounting, paper, inscription, and seal must be made. Painting style, etc. ”
"Forget it, you keep me learning, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn either." Yu Feibai smiled bitterly, very self-aware. Let him stay in a room, face tens of thousands of paintings and calligraphy, and constantly explore and study...... The boring process is simply torture, so it's better to kill him.
"I just know that you young people are impetuous. It's impossible to sink your heart and learn at all. Qian Lao shook his head, somewhat disappointed. Know that this method is clumsy though. But it is very meaningful. I don't expect to be able to distinguish the authenticity of the text, at least to have a better understanding of the materials of calligraphy and painting, which is also a great gain.
Also afraid that Qian Lao's whim would really let him learn this technique, Yu Feibai hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Qian Lao, did you hear something special in your voice just now?" ”
"That's right." Qian Lao nodded and said: "In your ears, the voice is hoarse and low, but I heard a melodious and pleasant aftersound in addition to the hoarse and low. ”
"Melodious aftersound?"
Yu Feibai looked dazed. In fact, not only him, but also Wang Guan and others next to him were also very confused.
Seeing this, Qian Lao naturally chuckled and said, "Now you understand why I didn't say it, you don't understand it, and you even suspect that I am fooling you." ”
"Hehe......" Yu Feibai smiled embarrassedly: "Old Qian, I don't doubt ......"
"Listened to Qian Lao's words. But I remembered an allusion. At the same time, Pi Qiushi smiled, and said thoughtfully: "It's also about the incense burner." ”
"What allusion?" Wang Guan asked curiously.
"It is said that when Emperor Qianlong was in the past, he went to Tanglin to pay homage to the tomb. The group walked to a place called Yanjiao Town, and there were still a few miles to go to the town. However, it suddenly began to rain, so it was natural to find a place to shelter from the rain. Everyone looked left and right, and saw a ruined temple standing on the side of the road, so they walked in. ”
Pi Qiushi said slowly: "After entering the temple, everyone found that the entire hall had long been gone, only an eight-foot-high incense burner made of iron and two candlesticks more than one zhang high. Because the thing was too bulky to move easily, it was thrown in the grass. ”
"The main hall is gone, there is no way, Qianlong has to enter the remaining side room in the temple to take shelter from the rain. But as he walked past the censer, his horsewhip struck the censer by chance, making a sonorous sound. ”
Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "As soon as Qianlong heard the voice, he felt wrong. So he ordered the imperial guards to use a sharp cone to make a hole in the incense burner cone, and when they looked closely, it turned out that it was all made of gold, but the outside was coated with a layer of fire paint, so it looked like it was made of iron. Looking at the two candlesticks, they turned out to be the same as the incense burner, which was also a gold product. ”
"No, the eight-foot-tall golden censer and the two candlesticks more than a foot high are also gold." Yu Feibai's face was fascinated, and he was also a little skeptical: "Really fake?" ”
"Then I don't know." Pi Qiushi chuckled and said: "Anyway, it is said that Qianlong brought the incense burner and candlestick back to the palace, and then sent people to search carefully in the deserted temple and found a stone tablet. According to the inscription, it is known that this is the family temple of a great eunuch during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, it's just a legend, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”
"But even if it's an apocryphal story, there should be an archetype." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "It's similar to Qian Lao, when you hear the voice, you can identify the abnormality in it, and it is definitely not fictional." ”
"That's, what is Qianlong, known as a perfect old man, but he doesn't often look at his eyes, and mistakenly treasures fakes as real things." Yu Feibai smiled and said, "Where is he qualified to be compared with Qian Lao." ”
"Don't talk nonsense."
Qian Lao shook his head and said: "Everyone has a time to be eye-catching, and Emperor Qianlong is naturally no exception. However, you just hold on to what he is looking at, but ignore the situation of other people's discernment. This is a very one-sided and biased approach. ”
"Yes yes yes I was wrong...... "
Yu Feibai nodded very insincerely, then turned back to stare at the big incense burner, and said, "Qinghua, go get an awl, or a saw." ”
"Don't make a fuss." Wang Guan smiled helplessly and reminded: "It may not be gold in it." Moreover, if it is only painted with fire paint, it should be able to be scraped off, instead of forming a hard rusty shell. ”
"Oh, yes."
Yu Feibai felt reasonable, but after thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Then you have to get rid of the rust spots and see what the situation is inside." Maybe it's gold, then you're going to send it. ”
"No hurry, let me see again." While speaking, Qian Lao walked around the big incense burner, reaching out and gently knocking on the wall of the furnace from time to time, or bending down to inspect the broken bottom. After a long time, Qian Lao seemed to have made some discoveries, and suddenly smiled: "Wang Guan, as the saying goes, real gold is not afraid of fire refining, do you dare to try it?" ”
"Burn with fire?" Wang Guan was a little surprised.
"That's right." Qian Lao nodded and said with a smile: "The rust is very hard, whether it is chopping, stabbing, or sawing, it is very laborious, it is better to burn it directly, it is faster." ”
"Huh?"
Wang Guan thought thoughtfully, and then simply nodded in agreement: "Qian Lao thinks it is feasible, then burn it." ”
"That's a good idea." Yu Feibai was not afraid of a big matter, so he hurriedly agreed, and said with a smile: "Then I'll ask someone to send a few flamethrowers." ”
"Don't breathe fire, ask for firewood." Qian Lao shook his head and said, "You go and ask someone to buy two loads of firewood and come back." ”
When Wang Guan heard this, he was immediately more convinced of his judgment. Qian Lao must have seen some clues, so he was fully prepared to burn it. Moreover, firewood is used for controlled temperature fire, rather than honeycomb coal and high-temperature flamethrower fire.
At the same time, Yu Feibai frowned: "Firewood? This one is more troublesome. ”
This is a fact, don't look at Qian Lao now living in the mansion, but the utensils in the kitchen are already biogas stoves, gas tanks, induction cookers or something, and firewood has basically disappeared in big cities. It is definitely more difficult to buy two loads of firewood than to find a few flamethrowers.
However, this matter was not difficult for Tang Qinghua, I saw him take out his mobile phone, dial a number, and give a few casual orders. Half an hour later, someone brought hundreds of pounds of firewood, and it was the finest pine.
"Hehe, I haven't played with fire for a long time, let me ......" Yu Feibai ran out with great interest, piled firewood around the big incense burner, and built the shape of a bonfire.
At this time, Wang Guan thought about it a little more, and said with some hesitation: "Old Qian, there won't be any problems with setting fire here, right?" "It's not that I'm worried about an accident, I'm afraid that someone will call the fire brigade.
"It's okay, I've already called someone to say hello to the neighbors." Qian Lao smiled: "In addition, I also notified the property and neighborhood committees of the community, and said that we were ...... barbecue."
In an instant, Wang Guan looked admired, no wonder there is a word called old scheming. At the stage when he was still thinking about it, Qian Lao had already arranged everything, this was the gap.
"Qian Lao, it's okay." Yu Feibai shouted, but he used firewood to cover the big incense burner.
"It's over." Qian Lao shook his head and said, "There is no gap, how can the firewood burn." ”
"By the way, I almost forgot about it."
Yu Feibai reacted, and hurriedly pulled out seven or eight pieces of firewood, leaving enough gaps, and then according to Qian Lao's instructions, he lit a few pages of newspapers and stuffed them into the gaps in the firewood.
The pine wood was flammable and soon burned into a raging fire that encased the large incense burner in it. The golden flames burned the air dry, distorting the space.
However, this is not the focus of everyone's attention, but in the jumping fireworks, the large incense burner, which was originally black, became more and more pitch black, as if it was charcoal. But later, it gradually came out of a reddish color, and it seemed to be about to melt.
Seeing this situation, Yu Feibai was a little worried: "Old Qian, the fire is too fierce, should it be weakened, or simply extinguished?" ”
"Don't worry, watch it patiently......" Qian Lao was very calm, paying attention to the situation of the big incense burner, and the smile in his eyes was even stronger.
