"What's going on?" Two security guards walked through the door and asked the old man at the counter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info.

The old man explained the situation with added vinegar, and the eyes of the two security guards immediately became serious.

"You two hurry up, or don't blame us for being polite." One of the security guards said coldly to Li Tianbao and Jiang Tianqi.

"You're welcome to us, what do I think you two can do?" After Jiang Tianqi learned of his life experience, he naturally couldn't suppress people in the Bamboo Association, but his proud surname never changed, and he would definitely not take the two little security guards seriously.

"You kid is simply looking for death." When the security guard heard Jiang Tianqi's words, he immediately pulled out the rubber rod on his waist and made a look of intimidation by force.

"Just the two of you, it's not enough for Young Master Ben to stuff his teeth." Jiang Tianqi naturally didn't scare the two of them, he didn't even look at them, he just waited for them to do it, and he had to teach the two of them a good lesson.

"This kid, how can he be virtuous with Wang Xiaoyu, he has a temper after knowing me."

Li Tianbao looked at Jiang Tianqi, and couldn't help but think of another brother - Wang Xiaoyu, although these two people are from different backgrounds, they have the same big temper, and when they see each other's slightest complaints about themselves, they will step forward and make a move.

"Two little cubs, you don't need me to do it, just look at the excitement."

Li Tianbao stood in front of the counter, looking at the three people who were about to make a move, with a relaxed smile on his mouth, presumably a good show was about to be staged. Li Tianbao was thinking in his heart, and the two security guards raised the rubber rods in their hands and hit Jiang Tianqi.

Suddenly, there were bursts of wails in the house, and if you think about it, you can understand where the two little security guards are Jiang Tianqi's opponents, and within a few clicks, the two of them were put to the ground by him, regardless of the fists and the soles of their shoes, only punches and kicks were left for the two of them.

"You're welcome, you deserve to die."

Li Tianbao said these cool words, and looked at the old man who was the shopkeeper at the counter, and at this time, his face had become a little distorted, and he was going to be able to clean up the brother and young man, but in the end, it was the two of them who fell to the ground and wailed.

"Old man, how about it, don't you smoke yourself a few mouths yourself, lest I do it, master."

Li Tianbao is not only a bastard, but also a powerful master, so he will not spare the old man, but just now he was just scaring and scaring him, because Li Tianbao's target was already locked on the ancient painting on the counter.

At this moment, more than a dozen security guards were suddenly crowded at the door, seeing that their companions were beaten so violently that they were about to start sharpening their knives one by one, Jiang Tianqi saw that there were many people on the other side, so he had to retreat to Li Tianbao's side.

"No, there are so many people, you still want me to do it, the master is a patient now."

Behind Li Tianbao, who was thinking about it, a woman's voice suddenly came from the door: "What's going on here?" As soon as the voice reached Li Tianbao's ears, it immediately made him excited.

"It's Cai Yufen."

Li Tianbao heard the familiar voice, and looked over in a blink of an eye, Cai Yufen at the door was dressed appropriately, looking surprisingly generous, just a pair of big sunglasses covering her charming eyes, followed by two men with headphones, from the black suit, it seems that they are two professional bodyguards, burly like a door god.

"Li Tianbao, why are you here?" Cai Yufen quickly saw Li Tianbao in the store, and then took off her glasses and walked in with a smile.

Li Tianbao smiled and put on a cool pose, but he didn't answer Cai Yufen's words, but asked rhetorically, "Why is the secretary of Caida here?" It's just that after this sentence was said, the two bodyguards behind her glanced at each other.

"I'll buy a gift." Cai Yufen smiled.

"It's such a coincidence, I'm also here to buy a gift, I don't know who your gift is for?" The answer Li Tianbao wanted to hear the most was naturally given to himself, but Cai Yufen shook her head and refused to say it.

"And who are you giving your gift to?" Cai Yufen asked Li Tianbao.

"My gift is naturally for ......" Li Tianbao didn't finish his words, thinking to himself, why don't you say what I have to say, so he smiled at Cai Yufen and shook his head.

Cai Yufen helplessly loosened her shoulders and began to ask Li Tianbao what happened.

"Hey, have you two talked enough, when we're idiots?" The captain of the security guard was tall and tall, wearing a suit, looking at Li Tianbao and Cai Yufen chatting happily, and he actually treated his group of brothers as air, how could this not make him feel angry.

"Pay attention to your dog's mouth, you are an idiot in my eyes." Li Tianbao stepped forward and glared at the security captain with angry eyes.

"I think you're looking for a fight." After the words of the security captain, the people behind him who had been eager to try for a long time immediately stepped forward to do something, but Cai Yufen explained a few words to a bodyguard next to her, and then walked out of the door.

"Stop."

The bodyguard's words made the security captain stop for the time being, but his eyes were full of anger and contempt, of course, this is mainly because of the large number of people, the so-called herd of dogs is this reason.

The bodyguard didn't speak, but glanced at Li Tianbao, then muttered a few words in the ear of the security captain, and then turned around and left.

Li Tianbao found out that Cai Yufen had already gone out of the door, and wanted to catch up but was blocked by a group of security guards.

"Hey, what do you want, draw a path, and I will accompany you to the end."

After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he found that the eyes of the security captain had changed from the hideous just now to the opposite look, like a cute puppy, looking at Li Tianbao as if looking at the owner who was about to feed him.

"You're sick, aren't you? They looked at me like that. Li Tianbao naturally showed curiosity about the sudden change of the security captain.

"Mr. Li, my brother was a little reckless just now, please don't go to your heart, don't go to your heart." Not only did the security captain's eyes change, but his tone of voice made a 180-degree turn.

"Hey, that's interesting." Li Tianbao thought of what Cai Yufen's bodyguard said to the security guard when he was leaving, which made him immediately understand what was going on, thinking that the bodyguard just now explained that she was Councilor Cai's secretary, and it was only at this time that he understood that a secretary could also have such a great deterrent.

"Be good, if it's a dog, you should be well-behaved, see that your attitude of admitting your mistakes is good, then I'll spare you, get out."

"Okay, brother, get out right away." When the security captain heard Li Tianbao's words, he immediately coaxed a group of somewhat confused security guards to exit the door, but he just walked a few steps before turning around and walking back, and when he passed by Li Tianbao, he didn't forget to nod to him, and then came to the counter and whispered a few words to the old man before turning around and leaving the store.

"Brother Li, what's going on?" Jiang Tianqi couldn't help but be a little curious when he saw the abnormal reaction of the security captain.

After Li Tianbao finished talking about the matter, he quickly turned around, looked at the old man of the shopkeeper with a wicked smile on his face, and said, "Old man, no one can help you now." ”

"Mr. Li, my old thing is wrong, you can spare me, I will make amends to you here." The old man said that you are two mouths when you come by yourself, and then you will continue to fight.

"Gotta get it, stop fighting."

Li Tianbao saw that the old man was soft, and his heart suddenly felt a little unbearable, after all, at such an old age, there are many ways to rectify the person, there is no need to corporal punishment.

"Thank you, thank you Mr. Li for not bothering with me, I'll get whatever you want to see." The old man was confused for a while, and he actually forgot that Li Tianbao had a conflict with himself in order to look at the ancient painting on the counter.

Li Tianbao did not speak, but stretched out his hand and pointed to the painting in front of the old man.

"Oh yes, forgive me for not remembering my old thing's surname, you have a palm."

After the old man finished speaking, he respectfully dropped the paintings one by one for Li Tianbao to appreciate, and then he walked out of the counter and moved the rattan chairs on both sides of the coffee table behind Li Tianbao and Jiang Tianqi, so that the two of them could sit down when they were tired.

Li Tianbao didn't have time to see what the old man was doing, but his eyes were engrossed in the ancient painting, but after a while, he felt a surge of power in his mind, and then his eyes revealed a transparent light that others could not see on the ancient painting, and at that moment, a text introduction had already appeared in his mind.

After reading the text, Li Tianbao smiled happily.

"Brother Li, who painted this painting, is it worth it?" Jiang Tianqi was a little anxious, the reason why he said that he was in a hurry was because the painting had not yet arrived, and Li Tianbao naturally would not answer his question.

After glaring at Jiang Tianqi, Li Tianbao said to the old man of the shopkeeper: "How did this come from, you received it?" ”

"As you said, I took the stuff, and it was five minutes before you came in." The old man replied truthfully.

"No wonder I always felt that this treasure painting was moving just now, and it turned out that it was not bought from time to time, but it was sold to this old man here." After thinking about it, Li Tianbao said to the old man of the shopkeeper: "Old man, how much is this painting, make a price." ”

"Offer?" When the old man heard Li Tianbao's inquiry, he suddenly paused, and then asked Li Tianbao rhetorically: "You can pay as much as you say, I will listen to you." ”

"What are you kidding, if you have to be like this for an old man to do business, then he won't become a fool." Li Tianbao was naturally a little puzzled in his heart, of course, Jiang Tianqi beside him was also very puzzled, but he learned the lesson just now and stopped talking.

"I said how much is the price, so how much do you want to sell for this painting?" Li Tianbao asked the shopkeeper and the old man.

"If you say it's worth it, it's worth it." The old man's words and the previous words simply meant the same thing, which made Li Tianbao suddenly frown, and said: "How can there be a person in the world who sells things like you, can I say that if you say a dollar, you will also sell it to me?" ”

"One dollar, okay, deal, I'll wrap it up for you."

When the old man heard that Li Tianbao offered a piece, he really began to roll up the ancient paintings, and respectfully handed them to Li Tianbao.

"Old man, you're making fun of me, aren't you?" Li Tianbao really couldn't think of any reason to make the old man of the shopkeeper like this.

"Don't say that, I'm doing business with you sincerely, and I want to make friends with you, as long as you don't dislike my old things." The old man was still happy, and handed the painting to the chain handle again.

"A dollar, so cheap, I'm out." Jiang Tianqi really couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so he took out a dollar coin and threw it on the counter, and stretched out his hand to take the painting for Li Tianbao.

Li Tianbao didn't stop Jiang Tianqi, because he would buy whatever he said at this price, but the old man's abnormal behavior would definitely not be as simple as making friends.

"Old man, do you know the price of the provenance of this painting?" Li Tianbao suddenly asked the old man who was the shopkeeper.

"Of course I do."

If Li Tianbao asked the old man why he would sell the paintings to him for one dollar, he would definitely say that it was to make friends, but when asked about professional knowledge, as a person who plays antiques, he will never say that he doesn't know, even if he is a mallet, he will say how he knows how to do it.

"Then tell me the provenance of this painting." Li Tianbao asked the old man.

When the old man heard Li Tianbao asking, he twisted his hand and showed a proud look again, and began to tell the origin of the ancient painting.

The words of the old man of the shopkeeper are exactly the same as the information that Li Tianbao has learned, and it seems that he is also a master of antiques.

It turned out that the painting obtained by Li Tianbao came from Wu Daozi and was a masterpiece of his.

Wu Daozi was born in the era of Tang Gaozong and died in the era of Tang Suzong, that is, around 758 AD, Wu Daozi, whose parents died when he was a child, lived in a very poor life, and he also had to study with folk painters and carvers for the sake of vitality.

Wu Daozi, who was still young, quickly showed his talent due to his hard work, but he was already famous at the age of twenty.

Wu Daozi then placed calligraphy Zhang Xu and He Zhizhang under the door, bent on learning calligraphy, but he was not able to succeed, and later butcher knife angry to change to painting, there is a saying that men are afraid of entering the wrong line may be said to be Wu Daozi, after learning painting, he gradually mastered the wonderful method of painting, in addition to his hard work, when the year was not weak, it was already "poor Danqing wonder".

However, after a long time, Tang Xuanzong summoned him into the palace as a court painter and renamed him Daoxuan. Wu Daozi became a royal painter, and he could not paint without the emperor's order, but despite this, he got superior conditions after his death, and he did not have to wander around.

Later, Wu Daozi served as the county lieutenant of Banqiu, and soon after he resigned from his position, and then he went to Luoyang to start his painting career.

Taoist people call him "Wu Dao Zhenjun" and "Wu Zhenren". Su Dongpo said in the article "After the Painting of Wu Daozi": "As for the poem Du Zimei (that is, Du Fu), as for the text as for Han Huizhi (talking about Han Yu), as for the book as for Yan Lugong (that is, Yan Zhenqing), and as for the painting of Wu Daozi, and the changes of ancient and modern times, the world can be done!" ”

Wu Daozi once painted more than 300 murals in the temples of Chang'an and Luoyang, strange traces, there is no similarity, among them, it is especially famous for "Hell in Disguise", and the people who have seen it are all called wonderful pens.

Speaking of Wu Daozi's painting is a unique style, in the landscape painting is a revolutionary innovation, and the characters he painted are the folds of the clothes fluttering, the lines are strong, known as the lettuce strip drawing, with the effect of flying clothes and the wind on the wall, known as "Wu Belt when the wind".

Wu Daozi's burnt ink lines, a little light color, known as Wu costumes, the painting lines are very concise, the so-called "pen is only one or two, like has been answered", there is a sparse body said. The great influence of his paintings on later generations can be seen from the fact that later generations respected him as a "painting saint".

Folk painters even said that Wu Daozi was praised as the ancestor, and Su Shi once praised Wu Daozi's art as "bringing out new ideas in the law, and placing wonderful reasons outside the boldness".

Wu Daozi's paintings have not been handed down to the world, and the "Sending the Child to the Heavenly King", "Baoji Bingaro Buddha Statue", "Daozi Mobao", and the Vima Sutra Variation of the One Hundred and Three Caves of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are also considered to be the embodiment of Wu Daozi's style.

It is rumored that Wu Daozi's surname is very bold, and his favorite is to paint drunk, and it is said that when he depicts the round light on the top of the Buddha's head in the mural, he does not use a ruler and a pen. When painting at Longxing Temple, the viewers were surrounded by water.

Wu Daozi painted at a very fast pace, some described it as a whirlwind, always in one go, the capital of Chang'an was the cultural center of China, bringing together many famous literati and calligraphers and painters Wu Daozi often spent time with these people, promoting each other and improving their skills.

"That's very good, but I don't know if you know a few very interesting stories about Wu Daozi?" Li Tianbao asked the shopkeeper and the old man.

"How do I know one?" The old man of the shopkeeper said that I told a story about Wu Daozi.

His story is that there is a man named Wu Daozi, the teenager lost his parents, had to leave his hometown, go out to make a living, one evening, Wu Daozi passed through the city of Dingzhou, Hebei Province, suddenly found that there is a majestic temple "Berlin Temple" in front of him, and walked in.

Wu Daozi walked into the courtyard, and through the crack in the door of the main hall, he saw an old monk under the oil lamp, concentrating on painting on the wall of the hall.

Wu Daozi was very curious, quietly pushed open the door, walked in gently, and stood behind the old monk to watch the painting.

As soon as the old monk turned around, he found that a teenage boy was so fascinated by watching him paint a mural, and he was overjoyed, so he asked Wu Daozi: "Doll, do you like this painting?" ”

Wu Daozi nodded after hearing this, and when the old monk knew his background, he put his head on his head and said, "If you are willing to learn painting, be my apprentice." After hearing this, Wu Daozi was so grateful that he hurriedly kowtowed to the teacher.

One morning, the old monk led Wu Daozi to the apse, pointed to the wall of ** and said: "I want to paint a picture of the river and sea on this empty wall, and it is not like real water and waves after painting many times, tomorrow I will take you to travel around the rivers, lakes and seas for three years, and then paint it after you come back." ”

Early the next morning, Wu Daozi packed his luggage and set off with the old monk, wherever he went, the old monk urged Wu Daozi to practice painting water, he was still serious at the beginning, but this is a long time, and he is young when he loves to play, so Wu Daozi feels a little annoyed, and his interest in learning painting is not as serious as before.

After the old monk saw the clue, he called Wu Daozi to his side and said to him: "Child, if you want to draw the momentum of the rivers, lakes and seas, it requires extraordinary skills. (To be continued.) )
