Chapter 0338 A Bizarre Ancient Painting

Li Qian walked out wrapped in a bath towel, her hair was wet, and her body was also wet. The bath towel is very thin, and when it gets wet, it feels more or less transparent. As soon as she came out, there was suddenly a beautiful scenery in the room.

Although I am already familiar with her, and I have reached the level of making jokes casually, it is the first time I have seen such a tempting scene in front of Ling Xiao.

Li Qian's body has a very special charm, one word, sustenance.

Ling Xiao was embarrassed and nervous here, but Li Qian looked natural, and what happened just now didn't seem to have any effect on her. She looked at Ling Xiao sitting on the sofa with a faint smile on her face, "I said, don't you just use your bathroom, don't you have a straight face?" ”

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly: "What is the matter, you can use everything here as you like." ”

"Really?" Li Qian smiled: "No matter what it is, you can use it casually?" ”

Ling Xiao said with certainty: "Yes, whatever it is." ”

Li Qian chuckled a few times, her eyes full of teasing, "So, can you use it casually?" ”

Ling Xiao, "......"

"Look, you're stingy, you just said that you can use anything, I'm going to use it, and you're silent again."

Ling Xiao, "......"

Faced with such a very open personality, Ling Xiao really lacked the skills to deal with it.

"Okay, okay, I'll let you go tonight. A few sisters from college asked me to go to karaoke, lend me your car to drive, let me show off, I have never driven a car of millions. Li Qian looked at Ling Xiao with a smile, "This, you can borrow it, right?" ”

Ling Xiao hurriedly took off the car keys and threw them to her. She's leaving, that's something he wants to do. If she stays here and continues this ambiguous temptation, he really doesn't know if he will do something.

The car keys flew over Li Qian's shoulder, and fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

Li Qian retracted her empty hand and shrugged her shoulders, "Can you be stupid again?" Master. ”

Not again.

Ling Xiao looked at her speechlessly, because he could see that Li Qian deliberately couldn't catch it. However, he couldn't figure out what tricks Li Qian was going to play. That's right, isn't it just to drop the key on the ground, in such a sesame mung bean-sized thing, can she play with a flower?

Li Qian turned around, bent over, reached out, and picked up the key......

The bath towel on her body originally had seventy percent of the defense ability, but under her action, the defense line composed of the bath towel collapsed instantly, and the defense ability dropped directly from seventy percent to seven percent, or even less. Ling Xiao's eyes were suddenly full of rare delicacies, and he was suddenly stimulated, and he almost had a nosebleed.

Picking up the car keys, Li Qian stood up slowly, looked back and smiled: "Thank you, Master, good night." ”

Please, go away! Ling Xiao's heart was shouting, but he still pretended to be serious and didn't see anything, and smiled slightly, "Well, be careful on the road, see you later." ”

Li Qian walked to the door, and suddenly turned back again, "Master, don't have bad dreams for your old man." ”

Ling Xiao, "......"

In her previous life, she must have been a fox, and after cultivating to this life, she finally became a spirit, a fox spirit!

Li Qian left, but Ling Xiao didn't sleep peacefully that night, Li Qian's prophecy came true, and he really had a bad dream.

Ling Xiao didn't know when Li Qian came back, but when he went to the garage early in the morning, the car was already parked in the garage. The vixen-like woman was so careless that she didn't even take off the key.

Ling Xiao was about to drive to the new factory when he received a call from Zhang Xueer.

"Xue'er, I was about to call you and ask about those trialists, but I was worried that you were in class, so I didn't call you, but I didn't think you would call." Ling Xiao said with a smile. After receiving Zhang Xue'er's call, he was very happy, if Zhang Xue'er had completed the record of the trialists, the information he needed would be more complete.

"I'm done here." Zhang Xue'er said: "Brother Ling Xiao, come here, I'll give it to you." ”

"Are you at school?" Ling Xiao asked.

"No, I'm in the museum."

"What are you doing in the museum?"

"There was an art exhibition today, and there were some works that I really wanted to see, so I took a leave of absence to come out. By the way, I saw a very strange painting here, you will definitely want to see it, you should come here. ”

Ling Xiao was slightly stunned for a moment, he couldn't figure out what painting he wanted to see, he said curiously, "What is it?" ”

"I can't tell you at this moment, anyway, come and take a look, you will definitely be very interested." Zhang Xueer said.

Ling Xiao wanted to ask more carefully, but Zhang Xue'er had already hung up the phone. He shook his head depressedly, got into the car, and drove on the road.

With the help of the car navigation system, Ling Xiao finally found the museum that Zhang Xueer said. He parked the car, bought a ticket, and went into the museum.

There aren't many people in the museum, and the people who visit the artworks are quiet.

There are many types of artworks on display in the museum, including calligraphy and painting, porcelain, and bronzes. Ling Xiao has no interest in these things, others look at artworks and antiques, but he looks for people in the crowd.

Ling Xiao soon spotted Zhang Xue'er, she was standing under a wall and looking at a painting, very focused, and didn't see him.

Ling Xiao walked over and was about to call her, when his gaze suddenly fell on the painting hanging on the wall, and he couldn't take his eyes off it. His mouth was wide open, but he couldn't say a word.

Ms. Zhang said on the phone that he would be interested in the painting.

Now it seems that it is actually interested, it is simply weird, it is shocking!

The painting is an oil painting, and the person in the painting is a middle-aged man wearing a Ming Dynasty official uniform. He has a burly physique, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and has a majestic aura of an official.

Oil painting is a product of the West, and there were certainly no Ming painters painting oil paintings during the Ming Dynasty. It's a strange thing.

The time marked under the painting is 1425, which is the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.

There is time, but there is no annotation of the author. It's also a very strange thing.

However, whether it is the source of the painting or the lack of the author, these are not the reasons why Ling Xiao shocked Ling Xiao, what shocked him was that this Ming Dynasty man was wearing a ring on his hand - a ring that was exactly the same as the yin and yang ring on his hand!

At this moment, Ling Xiao's brain couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Master Xuanjizi. The yin and yang ring in his hand is a treasure left to him by Xuanjizi, but he has not left a single word about the yin and yang ring, so until now, he does not know the origin of the Yin and Yang ring, and he can't crack the secret of the yin and yang ring.

He had tried to crack the secrets of the Yin Yang Ring more than once, but none of them had succeeded. Not to mention success, there is not even a single valuable clue. But now, an ancient painting from the Ming Dynasty appeared in front of him, and the Ming Dynasty official in the painting wore a ring on his hand that was exactly the same as the Yin and Yang ring on his hand - what was going on?

After a short period of reflection, his mind went blank again.

Sensing that there was someone behind her, Zhang Xueer glanced back, only to see that it was Ling Xiao standing behind her. A smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Brother Ling Xiao, when did you arrive?" Scared me. ”

Ling Xiao came back to his senses at this time, "I just arrived, and I was looking at the painting just now." ”

"See?" Zhang Xueer pointed to the ring in the painting and said, "It's exactly the same as the ring on your hand." Is this a coincidence, you say, or is it ...... Why? ”

Ling Xiao couldn't answer, but he didn't want Zhang Xue'er to continue to speculate, he said, "How much do you know about this painting?" ”

"I knew you were going to ask me. I already knew a little bit before you came. Zhang Xue'er said: "This painting is an antiquity of Zheng He's voyage to the West during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was no such thing as oil painting in our country, and it was probably from the West. ”

"What do you mean...... Ling Xiao's mind is very quick, "the Ming Dynasty official in the painting is a member of Zheng He's fleet, and when he was in the West, someone painted this picture for him, and then he brought this painting to our country?" ”

"I can't be sure." Zhang Xueer said: "There are two possibilities. First, the painting did not go to the East at all, it has been preserved in the West, and it has only been passed down in modern times. The second is the kind you said, who followed that official to our country during the Ming Dynasty and has been preserved until now. Which one is the specific one, the collector will know the way. ”

Of the two possibilities, which one was specific, Ling Xiao couldn't make his own judgment.

Zhang Xue'er said again: "Brother Ling Xiao, it's so strange. ”

"What?"

"Although the history of Western oil painting began in the 12th century, the early oil paintings were too simple, using oil paint mixed with linseed oil and arabic resin, with simple colors and rough painting style. It was not until the end of the 14th and 15th centuries that it really developed and entered its heyday. But if you look at this painting, it marks the date of 1425, which was the early 14th century, but its oil paint and painting style have reached the level of the heyday of oil paint, don't you think it's strange? Zhang Xueer said.

Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and shook his head, he felt strange, but he didn't know the reason.

An ancient oil painting from the early 14th century, and in the famous Zheng He's Western period, what is even more strange is that the Ming Dynasty officials in the painting are wearing rings exactly the same as the yin and yang rings, what secrets are hidden in this? One question after another filled his head, shocking, amazed, excited, and bewildered.

His mood has never been more complicated than it is now.

"Who is the owner of this painting?" Ling Xiao asked.

"It's a private collector, and I just asked one of the people in charge of the organizers, but he only told me about it, not his name." Zhang Xueer said.

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and then said, "If I want to buy this painting, what should I do?" ”

"Public exhibits usually don't sell, private exhibits may sell, but that has to contact the collector, and people are willing to sell."

"Let's go and ask the person in charge to see if we can find the owner of this painting." Ling Xiao was in a hurry.

"Okay, I'll take you." Zhang Xueer led the way before leaving.

Zhang Xue'er actually wanted to know the origin of the ring on Ling Xiao's hand, but Ling Xiao deliberately avoided the topic, so she didn't ask if she was clever. However, she believed that Ling Xiao would tell her one day.
