Chapter 231: The Three Realms of Life

The golden-eyed eagle and the two old friends had a very happy conversation, and the prince also revealed a very exciting news in his mouth: in three days, the Sino-Japanese national treasure exchange meeting will be officially held in the Palace Museum. The main purpose of this exchange meeting was to officially "exchange" Prince Shotoku's handwritten scriptures, the national treasure-level famous painting of red and white peonies, and the "Funeral Post" of the Tang Dynasty.

This intention has been determined a long time ago, but this is the first time that such a heavyweight cultural relics exchange has been carried out, and both sides have attached great importance to it, and it has been negotiated several times before the dust has settled.

For example, the location of the exchange of national treasures was determined after several months of dispute. According to the Japanese side's point of view, it must be carried out in Tokyo, so that they can save some face, and fortunately, it is advertised in the newspapers that the other party is full of sincerity and escorts Prince Shotoku to the east.

Of course, the Chinese side will not agree, with the nature of the Chinese people, the most important thing is face, not to mention that this time it completely takes the initiative, so the two sides are trying their best to argue.

For the process, the golden-eyed eagle is not interested, he is interested in the two national treasures finally returning, and he can have the opportunity to see the real face. However, I heard Mr. Gu say that the people invited to this exchange meeting are all heavyweights, and it is difficult to find a ticket, and he did not receive an invitation letter, so he is ready to hug the thighs of the golden eye eagle and go to the scene for a sneak peek.

That Wang + Ye also had the same thoughts, in their minds, the Golden Eye Eagle entered Beijing this time, it must be to be invited to participate in this trade fair.

While we were talking, I saw Brother Badou leading Gu Panzhi to slip back, the fat man's ears were more thief, and he stopped doing it when he heard it: "This is not a typical unloading and killing donkey, and we are not invited at all!" ”

The prince and Gu Lao also looked at each other. They're all insiders. Know the ins and outs of the whole thing. If there is no golden-eyed carving master and apprentice, this matter cannot be achieved at all, how can the main master be abandoned?

Otherwise, they don't know about the cats in the officialdom, and of course they have to squeeze their heads out of this kind of thing like putting gold on their faces. In addition, the back of Brother Badou's offering of treasure is not very bright, so they will not be removed at all.

"No, wait for the two national treasures to return to China. First of all, I must go to the Yato Museum exhibition! The fat man was still indignant, but the head was knocked twice by the master: "Don't complain here if you have the ability, continue to get back those national treasures that have been scattered in the West!" ”

This is the right reason - the prince and Gu Lao couldn't help but clap their hands, and Gu Lao's addiction was hooked out again: "Actually, the objects returned to the Badou Museum this time are no worse than the red and white peony pictures, we must let us old guys have a sneak peek, so as not to bring regrets into the coffin!" ”

And the prince also smoked frequently, he was very addicted to smoking, and this quiet room became his smoking room. He glanced at the fat man meaningfully: "Our generation is old, and we are powerless. The responsibility of returning national treasures falls on the younger generation. Eight buckets. You're doing a great job, be sure to keep it up! ”

For a moment, the entire ashram was silent, except for a trace of smoke rising from the room. How difficult it is to recover those precious cultural relics, not only needs great wealth to back, but also needs chance. Because the vast majority of collectors are not short of money, and those cultural relics that can be called national treasures are usually displayed in large museums, and the hardships can be imagined.

"Fat brother, I'll help you!" The young man's heart should be cloudy, Gu Panzhi is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, he tightly holds Brother Badou's big fat hand.

"The road is long, my generation will go up and down and seek, Xiao Pan, let's do it together!" The fat man has the bottom in his heart, and he speaks hard. The three old men in the quiet room nodded secretly: Youth is the greatest capital.

At this time, Gu Panzhi said excitedly: "Just now I went out for a spin with the fat brother, and the fat brother used two thousand yuan to buy a treasure!" ”

The eyes of several old people involuntarily converged on the large pen holder in the fat man's arms, and these old people did not rub sand in their eyes, and after glancing at it, they shook their heads in unison. In their minds, it is probably because Xiao Pan has limited knowledge and experience, and it is rare and strange.

But in the next moment, their eyes widened again, and they saw the fat man gently break the pen holder with his hand, and the base was cocked, revealing the folded paper corners inside.

It turned out that there was something inside - the golden eye eagle knew that his apprentice often had a magic pen, so he hurriedly stepped forward to take the pen holder, carefully put it on the table, and slowly separated the barrel body from the base.

The entire body of the pen holder turned out to be hollow, and there was a long paper scroll rolled inside. However, as soon as they looked at the shape of the paper, a look of disappointment flashed on the faces of the three old men: this paper was too new, at most it was from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, not the ancient scroll they imagined.

As the saying goes, paper accounts for 800, ink accounts for 1,000, in the long historical years, paper is the most difficult to keep, can be preserved for 800 years are very difficult, need a very special environment and chance, such as similar to Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes that dry and sealed grottoes, etc., to be fortunate to be able to preserve more than 1,000 years.

Even if it is preserved, it is usually damaged, and it is necessary for experienced calligraphy and painting restoration experts to slowly repair and finish, which is also time-consuming and labor-intensive, for example, the famous "Five Ox Pictures" was already dilapidated when it was recovered in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and was limited to the conditions and technology at that time. It took the entire restoration team several years to complete a picture, and the difficulty can be imagined.

It is precisely because of this that the calligraphy and paintings that the golden-eyed carvers and apprentices got back from Europe and the United States have not been exhibited for a long time, because they have been seizing the time to repair and sort them out.

So seeing that the mezzanine of the pen holder was not an ancient scroll, the elders were a little disappointed, but after all, it was an unexpected joy, so the golden eye carving still carefully took out the paper roll in the mezzanine, and then slowly unfolded it on the table.

A piece of red came into my eyes, and I saw that the snow-white paper was covered with neat handwriting, and each word was red in color, like a drop of blood.

"This is a blood book, good fellow, to write such a long volume, I'm afraid of thousands of milliliters!" The fat man kept smacking his lips, but his head was knocked on by the master again: "If you don't learn and don't know, this is a Danshu, which is written with high-quality cinnabar." ”

Brother Badou rubbed his head while nodding and being taught: "Good words, ethereal and quiet, looking out of the dust, it is definitely everyone's demeanor!" ”

Gu Panzhi next to him also nodded frequently, and even he, a young man, felt extremely peaceful and comfortable when he saw this scroll, which showed that the infectious power of this scroll was by no means ordinary.

"Super escape from the dust, full of paper compassion, I knew it was the handwriting of Master Hongyi, I should fast and bathe for three days, and then meditate and worship." The prince pinched the cigarette roll on the cigarette holder, and his face was full of admiration and remorse.

That's right, this cinnabar paper scroll is the handwriting of Master Hongyi, the most legendary figure in modern China, who was known as Li Shutong at the time. He integrates poetry, lyrics, calligraphy and painting, seal carving, music, drama and literature, leaving a unique life trajectory from a young man to a generation of Buddhist monks.

For this master-level figure, his disciple Mr. Feng Zikai commented: I think that human life can be divided into three layers: one is material life, the second is spiritual life, and the third is soul life.

The vast majority of people only live at the first level, and they seek to have no worries about food and clothing all their lives; A few people who can reach the second level are artists, and only a very small number of people can reach the third level. And Master Hongyi is one of the very few people.

Master Hongyi's words were born from the Wei tablet, especially after escaping into Buddhism, the killing of the worldly atmosphere in the calligraphy is more ethereal. The words in front of him should have been written by him in his later years, so he can penetrate the depths of the viewer's soul.

Baby, absolute baby, such a word, can no longer be measured purely by the concept of calligraphy, his role in the human spiritual world, more similar to a Buddha treasure.

"Fat guy, you're amazing!" The young Gu Panzhi originally regarded Badou as an idol, and today he has witnessed him turn decay into magic, and he has regarded the fat man as an idol he has admired all his life.

"It's just a little luckier, it seems that my museum has another treasure in it." The fat man was also overjoyed, although he knew that the pen holder had another mystery, but he didn't know that it actually hid Master Hongyi's Zhu book. And it is the work of the master in his later years, and it is definitely qualified to become the treasure of the town hall.

But Gu Lao and the prince didn't think it was purely due to luck, their evaluation of the little fat man in front of them automatically rose a notch, although it was their junior, but it was already beyond their existence.

"Brother Diao, now I really admire your golden eyes!" The prince is convinced at the moment: the most proud thing in Jinyandiao's life is probably that he has a discerning eye and accepts this apprentice!

Of course, the golden-eyed eagle knew what he was referring to, but he was not complacent about it, but shook his head slightly: "Before Master Hongyi's handwriting, my generation still has to work hard to advance to the third realm of life!" ”

Gu Lao and the prince are all concerned, of course the three of them know the three realms of life, they can barely be regarded as entering the second realm, like the golden eye eagle, they have reached the peak of the second realm, but in their lifetime, whether they can touch the third realm, it is unknown, but today seeing Master Hongyi's handwriting, they re-established the direction of their efforts.

As for the fat man and Xiao Pan, their realm is only afraid that it will be lower, after asking the master about the three realms of life, Brother Badou couldn't help but touch his big belly: "In this way, I am still wandering in the first realmβ€”β€”"

"Then I haven't gotten a glimpse of the door." Gu Panzhi is even more miserable.

As he was talking, someone knocked on the door outside the quiet room, and a clerk walked in, whispered to the prince, and kept looking at the fat man and Xiao Pan.

Brother Badou slapped his thigh violently: "I almost forgot, Xiao Pan and I had a fight with someone just now, I guess the police must have come to the door at this time-" (To be continued......)
