Chapter 193: Decision
"You mean, the secret is not in the painting, but in the silk on which the painting was made?" Listening to Lan Xi tell the origin of her "whim", Geng Xiwu finally frowned and asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"yes." Lan Xi nodded, "These days, I have studied this silk painting repeatedly, and there is nothing special about the silk, paint, and painting method of painting. I tried to copy it, even myself, I couldn't tell the difference, but I still didn't have the slightest clue about the legendary treasure map, until today, I saw Fang Mingzhu's painting, in which the lake was leisurely, and there were sparkling waves with the change of light and shadow. She told me that a piece of paper in the lake was specially made, with fragments of gold leaf embedded in it, and I had the idea that perhaps we had thought of the wrong place in the first place, and that the secret was not in the painting at all, but in the silk. ”
Geng Xiwu's thin lips were lightly hooked, but he really dared to think about it! "But it's all just your guess."
"Yes, just guessing." Lan Xi did not deny it at all, "Master! Brother! Come and see. Lan Xi carefully took out the silk painting from the brocade box, shook it off gently, and greeted the light, and then Lu Zhan and Geng Xiwu both saw it, there was light coming in from behind the silk painting, but there were a few places that were different from others, there was an inexplicable brilliance circulating, and both of them couldn't help but be surprised and suspicious.
"I had already discovered this, but I never figured out why, I always thought it was because of the paint or the brushwork, and it was only today that I had a different opinion. I guess that the people who the emperor found before are definitely higher than me in painting, and they must have tried the methods they should have tried. ”
After Lan Xi said this, the room suddenly fell silent, and Lu Zhan and Geng Xiwu's master and apprentice both chose to be silent, and they thought carefully with their eyebrows furrowed.
After a long while, Lu Zhan broke the silence and said, "Even if your speculation is correct, the only way to see the secret on this silk is to wash the painting on this silk, so you will inevitably take a big risk." Speaking of this, both Lu Zhan and Lan Xi's eyes couldn't help but turn to Geng Xiwu.
Lan Xi is worried about this, why not? "Yes! If my guesses are true, I have to worry about whether I will destroy the things on the silk if I want to wash the paintings. What's more, I'm speculating all this, if I wash the painting and there is nothing in it, then the painting will also be ruined, and the senior brother will not be able to deal with it. ”
Speaking of which, the initial problem still exists, and everything needs Geng Xiwu's decision. It's just that this silk painting is very important, and if you are not careful, it is a major matter related to the head, how can it be so easy to decide?
So, Geng Xiwu's silence and delay in expressing her position, Lan Xi saw it in her eyes and understood it in her heart, but after a long silence, she still said what she thought in her heart without reservation, "To be honest, senior brother!" If the secret of this silk painting is so easy to solve, the emperor doesn't have to hand it over to you. It's a problem, and if you can't solve it, it's not a big deal, isn't it? It's better not to take such a big risk. ”
Geng Xiwu didn't know if he had listened or not, he was silent for a long time, and finally frowned and spoke, "Don't worry about the first point you said. ”
"Gah?" Lan Xi was racking his brains to think about how to get his senior brother to throw this hot potato out, but suddenly heard such a sentence, and in an instant, his head went blank.
"You just said that if your speculation is true, you don't need to worry about it for fear that you will destroy the secret of the treasure map at the same time. After all, since this treasure map has been carefully hidden in this painting, it is so that it can be discovered one day, and since the painting can only be discovered after the painting has been washed, then this secret must have been properly dealt with, and it will never be destroyed by washing the painting. Geng Xiwu patiently explained.
Lan Xi nodded when he heard it, yes! Senior brother's analysis makes sense. However, does the senior brother mean by this...... Lan Xi's face changed slightly.
Lu Zhan had already spoken out against it, "No." This matter is too risky, A-Qing is all guessing, even if we believe her, but what if we guess wrong? The painting was completely ruined when it was washed. We don't care about this treasure or something, but the one in the Zichen Hall cares very much, if one is unhappy, it is not uncommon to order your head to be cut off. So, I don't agree! You kid is not as good as Ah Qing said, and directly said that he did his best, but he got nothing, even if he was thought that you were incapable, it was better than gambling with his life. ”
"Master, you know that this matter is a precious opportunity for me and for King Qi, but it's a pity to give up. And Ah Qing has spent so much time and energy, and now he finally has some eyebrows, if he doesn't give it a try, wouldn't it be in vain? ”
"It's not hard! It's not hard! Lan Xi hurriedly shook his head and said, "This little hard work is really nothing compared to the safety of Senior Brother, so Senior Brother, you should obediently listen to Master!" He's also ...... for you" As he spoke, Lan Xi's voice lowered a little bit, because Geng Xiwu's gaze swept over, not to mention that it was cold and cold, the momentum was enough to silence Lan Xi. Get! In the future, when the master and the senior brother argued, she still didn't help each other, and she was so quiet that she could be a shadow, so that she was not a human being.
"Master, I have to do this, whether A-Qing's guess is right or wrong, I want to bet on this game. However, Master, don't worry, I'm not a reckless person, and the reason why I didn't open my mouth just now was because I was thinking about the way back. Geng Xiwu slowed his voice and changed his strategy.
Lu Zhan really eased his expression, "So, you have already thought of a way out?" ”
Lan Xi also pricked up his ears curiously.
Geng Xiwu nodded, "Just now A-Qing said that it is difficult for her to distinguish the authenticity of this painting from the fake, in this case, before washing the painting, let A-Qing copy a painting, it will be foolproof." ”
Lan Xi was shocked inexplicably, how could it be on her? Copy? Copy? She's very good at this. But if it sounds good, it's called copying, and if it doesn't sound good, it's called counterfeiting, and when will counterfeiting be able to do great things?
Lu Zhan was also shocked, but what he was worried about was not on the same level as Lan Xi, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"I naturally knew that it was the best way out I could think of. Master, you know Aqing's copying skills, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, if the painting is damaged, it would be good to make up for it. Compared with Lu Zhan's shock, Geng Xiwu called a light cloud.
"What if it's discovered? That's a crime of deception. Lu Zhan took the case, and his eyes were already on fire.
"Then make sure you don't get noticed." Geng Xi said nothing, and looked at Lanxi meaningfully.
Lan Xi's face was already pale, and when he met Geng Xiwu's gaze, he immediately shook his head into a rattle, "No." No way. I can't. (To be continued.) )
