Back at Qiao's house, Fourth Master Qiao was still enjoying the blockbuster of the Anti-Japanese War in the hall with relish, shaking the big cigarette stick in his hand from time to time, with a very leisurely and comfortable look.

Seeing this situation, Qiao Yu pouted and said: "Grandpa, this kind of nonsense, bloody and brainless plot, you can actually see it, the taste is too extreme." ”

"What's wrong today, so angry?" Fourth Master Qiao raised his head lazily and said, "Who offended my good granddaughter, is he impatient and anxious to see the king of Hades." ”

"No one offended me." Qiao Yu sulked and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it." Xiaoye, accompany me to play games. ”

While speaking, Qiao Yu hurriedly left with Baye, intending to fight and cut down in the game to vent the sulkness in his heart. Wang Guan naturally didn't want to follow, so he sat down in the hall.

"What's wrong with her?" Qiao Siye said casually: "Has anyone provoked her?" ”

"Nope."

Knowing that he was asking himself, Wang Guan shook his head and said: "The matter of the cave paintings has come to fruition, and the person who stole the painting was caught, but the buyer ran away with the rubbing." ”

"Yes, no wonder Xiaoyu loses her temper." Fourth Master Qiao suddenly realized, and then said with a smile: "Lao Tao should be very self-blaming now, he was a good intention, but he did something bad for him." ”

"That's right." Wang Guan nodded slightly, and sighed lightly: "No matter how we persuade him, Tao Lao just can't be happy." Unless he can retrieve the rubbing, this matter should become a knot in his heart. ”

"Lao Tao is this kind of character, and he is full of anger." Qiao Siye smiled lightly: "Scholars are very idealistic in doing things, and they are destined to be nothing big. ”

Wang Guan smiled, it was not easy to accept this conversation.

"Don't believe it." Fourth Master Qiao said proudly: "If he asks me for help in this matter, it will definitely go smoothly, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”

"He wanted to look for you, but he stopped Xiao Qiao." Wang Guan said truthfully,

"Really?"

Qiao Siye was slightly stunned. Suddenly, Zhanyan smiled and said, "I said that Xiaoyu is so sulky, it turns out that she also has her responsibility." Alas, I got into trouble outside, and in the end I had to help clean it up. ”

At the right time, Qiao Siye turned off the TV, shook his head and walked away with a big cigarette stick.

"How?"

After a while, Qiao Yu poked his head out of the hall door and looked carefully, and after finding that Qiao Siye was not there, he immediately walked out with a smile and asked, "You told him, what is Grandpa's reaction?" ”

"He said you're in trouble again. It hurts him to clean up the mess again. Wang Guan said with a smile.

"Great." Qiao Yu clapped his hands in celebration and said with a smile: "I know that grandpa will not let go." ”

Wang Guan smiled, and he was also very curious about how much energy this Jinyang Qiao Fourth Master had in his heart, so that Qiao Yu was so sure that if he made a move, he would definitely be able to find the mysterious person.

Time was fast, but in the evening, Wang Guan immediately retracted his suspicions.

After dinner, Qiao Siye was naturally going to the backyard for a walk with a big cigarette stick, but it was different from usual. He called Wang Guan to go with him. Wang Guan was a little surprised, but he didn't object, so he followed Qiao Siye out. But after a few moments, he realized that it was not the way to the backyard. Instead, he came to a room in the West Wing.

When he pushed open the door, Qiao Siye asked casually, "You don't faint when you see blood, right?" ”

"Uh......" Wang Guan was slightly startled and shook his head instinctively.

"That's good." Fourth Master Qiao smiled, and pushed the door open with a little force.

That's when it happened. Wang Guan also followed lightly. When he walked into the room, he was a little prepared, but he actually went in and saw what was going on inside. He was inevitably a little surprised.

At this time, a person was tied to the chair in the room, a man covered in wounds and blood. At this time, the man's head was lowered, almost buried in his chest, as if he had no breath. Seeing this, Wang Guan was really frightened.

"Don't be afraid, boy."

Qiao Siye said lightly: "He's not dead, just half dead." By the way, now I guess I'm playing dead. I advise you not to waste your efforts, it is a cowhide band that binds you, and the more you struggle, the tighter it gets, and it goes straight into the meat. ”

The last sentence is, of course, addressed to the person tied to the chair.

At the same time, the man's body trembled slightly, and then slowly raised his head. At this moment, Wang Guan also saw it clearly, and saw that the man's face was also stained with blood, full of gloomy and hideous color.

Of course, this was Wang Guan's illusion, because the light in the room was very bright, like the dazzling rays of the sun, and even the dust on the ground was very visible. But no matter how bright the light shone on the man, it made him look even more gloomy and full of danger.

After a long time, maybe a few seconds, the man's gaze swept over Wang Guan and fell directly on Qiao Siye's body, and his voice was very hoarse and stiff: "Who are you, why did you kidnap me?" ”

"You don't know me, but you dare to commit a crime on my land, it's really boring." Qiao Siye turned the big cigarette stick in his hand, and found that the man's face was still dazed, and he suddenly said thoughtfully: "It turned out to be a dragon crossing the river, no wonder he doesn't understand the rules." ”

After that, Fourth Master Qiao didn't bother to pay attention to the person, and directly beckoned to Wang Guan and said, "Come and see if this painting is real." ”

“…… Oh! ”

Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, then gradually came to his senses, then took two steps around to avoid the man, and went straight to a table, only to see a folded soft canvas placed on the table.

As soon as Wang Guan touched it, he felt that the canvas was very thin and extremely elastic, and it was obvious that this was a specially made fabric.

"Spectrum ......"

Feeling right, Wang Guan settled down and immediately carefully spread out the canvas layer by layer. Suddenly, a colorful and splendid portrait of a religious figure suddenly came into view.

This is a picture depicting the world of the Pure Land in the West, with a vast pond of green waves in the middle of the picture, carved railings and rings, and various colors of lotus flowers in full bloom. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas sit on lotus flowers with kind faces, and there are children playing in the pond.

At the upper end of the treasure pool, the sky is clear, the clouds are swirling, the Buddha is in the air, flying and dancing, and the sky is falling. Under the treasure pool, musicians play various musical instruments, such as Maiko Bao Guanluo skirt and dance the Hu dance of the Western Regions. The entire mural presents a joyful and peaceful scene of Western Elysium.

This picture, which should have appeared on the walls of the grotto, is now vividly rubbed in a cloth as thin as a cicada's wings, and the colors are so beautiful that it is as if someone had just drawn it.

The so-called stealing of the sky is definitely not only as simple as extending a layer of patterns, but also a very clever technique for protecting murals. That's right, to protect the murals. You must know that before the Tang Dynasty, including the middle and early Tang Dynasty, murals were the mainstream.

Because at that time, the process of making paper was not good, and paper that had been preserved for thousands of years had not yet been invented, so literati generally wrote or painted on silk. However, the cost of silk silk is very high, and except for the powerful nobles, others really can't afford it. Then splashing ink on the wall is a natural thing.

However, as we all know, the preservation period of murals is not long, and no matter how carefully cared for, the ink color of the pattern will gradually become dull and dull over time, and finally even fade and disappear directly.

After this happened, some people began to study how to preserve the murals for a longer period of time, and then developed various danqing, that is, mineral pigments. Painting murals with these mineral pigments can be preserved for a long, long time.

However, some people have a different direction of research, and they feel that it is more practical to find a way to rescue the frescoes that are about to disappear and fade than to study how to preserve them for a longer period of time.

These people felt that since silk cloth could make paintings last longer, it was enough to transfer the mural to silk cloth. After a long period of exploration, these people finally succeeded in inventing the method of stealing the sky and changing the sun.

At first, it was definitely just copying, then it was slowly rubbing, and in the end, the technology was developed to the extreme.

First, a thin cloth is pasted on the stone wall, and then some very special potions are used to evenly apply it to restore the luster of the mural, which is about to fade. At the moment when the mural returns to the light, the mural painting is in a slightly wet state, so the painted paint naturally penetrates into the fabric.

Wait until the potion slowly dries, and then carefully tear off the fabric, and immediately form a new picture, this process is called stealing the day.

Of course, this method is extremely harmful to the mural, after all, the color of the mural should be stimulated, and then most of the pigment is penetrated and fixed in the cloth to form a new pattern, which is equivalent to a method of harming others and benefiting oneself. If the mural is about to fade and disappear, it is understandable to use this technique to make the mural continue to fall into the clouds in a different form.

However, the most hateful thing is that some people who are hungry for profit don't care whether the mural is endangered or not, they just want to rub the mural and buy it for a high price through this method. Moreover, in order to maximize profits, some people use more vicious methods, and directly cut the grass and destroy the original murals, and the remaining rubbings will naturally become genuine......

Obviously, the person tied to the chair belongs to the latter. Thinking of this, Wang Guan's pity for that person who was covered in blood faded a little, and even felt that this person purely deserved it.

At this moment, Qiao Siye smiled and asked, "How is it, this painting should be real." ”

"It's the real thing." Wang nodded and said: "The color of the paint is very bright, obviously it was only rubbed a few days ago, it is certain that he is the buyer." ”

"That's right." Fourth Master Qiao smiled with satisfaction, and said with some curiosity: "Is this thing very valuable?" ”

"It's hard to say, the benevolent will see the benevolent, and the wise will see the benevolent." Wang Guan explained: "Anyway, it is a very precious cultural relic, especially those wealthy people in Southeast Asia who believe in Buddhism, and they must be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it." ”

Suddenly, Fourth Master Qiao smiled slightly: "Hehe, if I bury that person and give it to you, do you want it?" ”

"Hey, it turned out to be a brother on the road."

Without waiting for Wang Guan to answer, the man who had been silent spoke again, and said in a dry voice: "I admit it, as long as you are willing to let me go, not only will the things belong to you, but I will give you a generous ......gift when I turn back." )
