The ancient literati were arrogant, and even when copying the works of their predecessors, they never deliberately copied exactly the same for the sake of the so-called realistic similarity, but on the contrary, deliberately added many different scenes to show the difference.

However, there is an obvious drawback in the ancient calligraphy and painting descriptions. The famous paintings recorded in the book are always just left with a name, and then some flowery words are used to describe how good the painting is, but there is no mention of the details of the pattern in the painting.

In this way, when the original and the copy are placed together, it is often the time when the connoisseur is happiest, but also when he is going crazy. Because the details of the imitation work are different, as long as one of them can be judged to be genuine, the other must be an imitation. However, due to the difference in details, it is most likely to cause various controversies......

The complexity of it is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in a few words, anyway, this is the reason, and there are many people who like calligraphy and painting, but very few people can really get started.

In Zhou Lao's words, Wang Guan barely crossed the threshold, and there was still a long way to go before he could really enter the house, so when he was not sure about the authenticity of Tang Houxing's followers, he wanted to resist at close range, so as to facilitate cheating.

"There's no hurry."

At this time, Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "In two days, the auction will begin, and when the time comes, you will feel it from a distance, even if you can't watch it on stage, it will be better than scratching your boots like now." ”

"Hmm."

Wang Guan nodded slightly, and said curiously: "Brother Pi, you should have heard some rumors these days, how many people are the people who target Tang Houxing?" ”

"Not much, only a dozen." Pi Qiushi shook his head, and then said with a wry smile: "But these dozen or so people, all of them are predator-level figures in experts, if you really want to take this picture." It is necessary to be mentally prepared for heavy bleeding. ”

"Well, thank you Brother Pi for reminding me." Wang Guan nodded and thought about it seriously.

"If it's genuine, it's a copy of the Song Dynasty!" Pi Qiushi groaned: "If you don't have any money on hand, I suggest you take it." Of course, the premise is that the price is not too high, otherwise it is better to forget it. ”

"Brother, don't look at the price of some art treasures now, the price often exceeds 100 million, in fact, there is a lot of moisture, and some are even hyped up." Pi Qiushi shook his head and said: "Some auction houses always hype up how many hundreds of millions of auctions will be sold. But it is never said that after the auction is over, the buyers of these sky-high art treasures really pay and pick up the goods. ”

"Hehe, it's not like it's necessarily playing a double reed." Pi Qiushi smiled and said: "You also know that at the time of the auction, due to the very hot atmosphere, some people impulsively raised their cards and quoted a sky-high price, and they regretted it afterwards, and then they would rather pay liquidated damages than pay according to the auction price." ”

"This kind of thing happens almost every year. It's just that the auction house doesn't advertise, and the buyer is even more unlikely to expose his ugliness, so outsiders rarely hear about it, but people in the industry know it. ”

Between words. Pi Qiushi also sighed a little: "This is also the reason why things that were auctioned a few years ago are being auctioned again this year." That's why people often say that the water of the auction is very deep, if the antique shop is the rivers and lakes, then the auction is the sea. It is even more unfathomable, and the undercurrent is turbulent. ”

"Brother Pi, don't worry, I understand this." Wang Guan smiled: "It's really not good. I'll just pay the liquidated damages. ”

"Hehe, here's the next step." Pi Qiushi smiled and warned a little seriously: "If you really do this, you will be regarded as the most unpopular person, not only the auction companies in Hong Kong, but also the auction houses in China will not welcome you and will not allow you to participate in the auctions held by them." ”

"It's so ruthless." Wang Guan was also a little stunned.

"Something inevitable." Pi Qiushi smiled: "Last year or the year before last, do you remember the person who bid for the beast head but didn't give money in the end, right?" He is regarded as a hero in China, but he is blacklisted for big auctions, and major auction companies do not invite him or welcome him to participate in auctions. ”

"So it's also blocked?" Wang Guan sighed lightly: "It's really not good to be a hero. ”

"That's how the world ......"

Pi Qiushi just said, and suddenly heard his mobile phone ringing, took it out in his bag and looked at it, and suddenly looked a little surprised: "The call from the master of the middle of the mountain." ”

"Answer and see what you're looking for us." Wang Guan also has some curiosity.

Pi Qiushi nodded slightly, answered the phone casually, and said with a smile: "Master, it's me...... Oh? That's fine...... Where is it? Okay, we'll be right over. ”

Seeing that Pi Qiushi hung up the phone, Wang Guan hurriedly asked, "What did the master say?" ”

"Let's go over and see something, as if to help see something." Pi Qiushi smiled: "Are you going or not?" If it's not convenient, I'll just go over myself. ”

Obviously, he also remembered Han Lang's attitude, and was afraid that Wang Guan would find it difficult, so he just went over to help.

"It's okay." Wang Guan thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "There is no contradiction between me and Han Lang, as long as he talks about it, I guess he will thank me." ”

"That'll do." Pi Qiushi was also refreshed, and stood up directly and said, "Let's go, don't let the master of Mid-Levels wait longer." ”

"Hmm."

Wang nodded, went out with Pi Qiushi, settled the bill, and then drove to the address provided by the monk in the middle of the mountain, and quickly came to a mansion near the sea.

The mansion was naturally not so easy to enter, and there were several doormen who resembled security guards next to the wide iron fence. first asked the two of them for their intentions, and then called to confirm before letting the two enter.

Soon after, the two walked through the gate of the villa and went through some security checks before being led by a servant to a spacious living room.

"Two donors are here."

At this time, the monk in the middle of the mountain was chatting with an old man in the hall, and when he saw the two coming, he immediately got up to greet him, with a smile like a spring breeze on his face, but it also made Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi forget the unhappiness in their hearts.

Think about it, it's just to enter the door, and let people check it two or three times like a thief, and whoever is unhappy is unhappy. If it weren't for the love of the monk in the middle of the mountain, the two would have turned around and left long ago.

In fact, the reverse is also true, it is estimated that the owner of the villa has the same idea in his heart, if it is not for the face of the monk in the middle of the mountain, not everyone can enter the villa casually. It's normal for people to have different positions and different ideas, otherwise how can you say that the ass decides the head.

"Two donors ......"

At this moment, the monk in the middle of the mountain smiled and introduced: "Han Jushi, this is the Pi Shi Master, this is the Wang Shi Shi, the two of them are very good at antiquities, and they may be able to see the origin of things." ”

While speaking, the monk in the middle of the mountain introduced the old man to Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi: "This is Han Jushi!" ”

"Mr. Han."

When greeting, Wang Guan also observed the situation, and felt that the old man should be a more devout believer, not only wearing a relatively loose and simple robe, but also wearing a lot of Buddhist beads and prayer beads and peace charms on his wrists and neck. In addition, his body shape is relatively blessed, with slightly white hair and a smile on his face, but it gives people a feeling of kindness and kindness.

"Welcome to come and be a guest, and you don't have any restraints, just sit down." Mr. Han was also a little polite, but his politeness was obviously full of alienation.

This is also a common thing, after all, it is not always possible to hit it off at first sight. And judging from the luxury of the villa, as well as Mr. Han's own bearing, he must be another big man.

For such characters, unless you are familiar with them, it is best to stay away. So after sitting down, Pi Qiushi was the first to speak: "Master Banshan, you came to us, do you have anything to help?" ”

"That's right."

The monk in the middle of the mountain didn't plan to go around in circles, and said directly: "Just now, Han Jushi asked the poor monk to look at something, and then planned to let the poor monk re-engrave it......"

"This shouldn't be a difficult task for the master." Pi Qiushi said with a smile, naturally he knew the ability of the monk in the middle of the mountain, not to mention the imitation engraving, even if there was no original, as long as the specific requirements were explained, he could also carve one out of scratch.

"If it's a general thing, there's naturally nothing wrong with it." The monk hesitated slightly, then smiled bitterly: "The problem is that Han Jushi has given me a problem." ”

"What's the problem?" Pi Qiushi and Wang Guan were also quite curious.

You must know that the monk in the middle of the mountain is not an ordinary monk, he often comes into contact with a room of precious cultural relics, and over time he also has a good ability to appreciate it, and he should be able to identify ordinary things, how can he feel embarrassed.

"Han Jushi ......"

The monk in the middle of the mountain immediately looked at Mr. Han.

At the right time, Mr. Han nodded lightly, and then greeted, and naturally someone went to move the things over. A move is enough to show that the thing is heavier, and the volume is definitely not small.

After a while, Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi immediately saw the things that the maid had moved, and they were immediately very surprised. I saw that the volume of the thing was indeed relatively large, it was a wooden lotus platform base, with twelve petals, and a platform in the middle, even if an adult stood on it, there was no problem.

Of course, real people can't stand up, because there are dummies in the lotus platform. To put it bluntly, it's a wooden statue. The wooden statue and the lotus platform are supposed to be one and the same, somewhat similar to the statues of the gods enshrined in the temple.

The reason why it is similar is also due to the fact that most of the wooden statues are damaged. I don't know why, but nearly two-thirds of the upper body of the wooden statue to the kneecap of the lower body has been mutilated, leaving only the part below the knee and the lotus platform.

In this case, it is no wonder that the monk in the middle of the mountain is in trouble, and he doesn't even know the whole picture of the wooden statue, how can he imitate the carving? It's better to just carve another one.

However, Mr. Han seems to attach great importance to this incomplete wooden statue, and does not agree with the proposal of the monk in the middle of the mountains to make another one, so he has to imitate the carving according to the original appearance, but God knows what the original wooden statue looks like, how can it be copied...... (To be continued.) )
