Chu Chen saw that they were still a little skeptical, so he explained: "Xiaoyue, in fact, you don't need to be surprised, our thousands of years of history in China, there is no shortage of inventions and creations, let me give you a very simple example, can you imagine that in the era when there was no modern equipment more than 2,000 years ago, such a majestic Great Wall was built?" ”

"It's just that our nation is too much of a disaster, thousands of years of history is a history of war, and many advanced techniques have been wiped out in the flames of war because of this, and because the ancients were particularly conservative in terms of inheritance, they often passed on their sons but not their daughters, and this rule of passing on their sons but not their daughters also led to the loss of many techniques."

"Therefore, we look at magical things now, which may have been quite ordinary in ancient times, but because they have been lost, they will seem very mysterious."

"yes!"

Liu Sizhe took over and said: "Moreover, the resources in ancient times are more abundant than ours now, perhaps the materials used to make this painting were made from animals and plants or minerals that were not extinct at that time." ”

After listening to Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe's explanations, Wang Xiaoyue and Qiao Qian were no longer as shocked as they were just now.

Liu Sizhe continued: "Actually, what I am most concerned about now is who painted this painting, and how high the level of painting it is. ”

Wu Ke also nodded and said, "Yes, Achen, hurry up and see if this painting has been paid!" ”

"What a shame! ……”

Chu Chen nodded, and then opened all the scrolls, and immediately the word "Fuxing" in the lower left corner came into everyone's eyes. These two words also just confirmed Chu Chen's guess just now, this painting is indeed Cao Buxing's work.

Liu Sizhe said with some surprise: "I originally thought that only Zhang Seng Miao could paint such a strange painting, but I didn't expect the author to have someone else. But who is this "Fuxing"? How can you have such a superb skill! ”

"Who else can it be, Cao Buxing!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Hi. It turned out to be him! Liu Sizhe thought for a moment, and clapped his hands. Suddenly realized: "It's his words, that's quite normal!" ”

"Who the hell is this Cao Buxing?" Wang Xiaoyue asked curiously.

"Do you know the allusion that the ink is a fly, that is, this Cao Buxing." Liu Sizhe explained with a smile.

Legend has it that when Cao Buxing was painting a screen for Sun Quan, he painted a basket of bayberry, and Cao Buxing was very excited because of the praise of the people watching around him, and accidentally dropped the pen and ink by mistake, so he painted the ink dot into a fly. When Sun Quan came to see the painted screen, he thought that a fly had really flown onto the painting, so he raised his hand and wanted to blow the fly away, but he didn't expect that the fly was actually painted. And this is the famous story of the ink as a fly.

From this you can imagine. Cao Buxing's realistic painting skills have reached such a level of proficiency that they can even deceive people's eyes.

"Oh, when you say that, I think of a story about Cao Buxing!"

Wu Ke said excitedly: "It is said that Sun Hao traveled to Qingxi and saw a red dragon descending from the sky and walking in the waves. Therefore, he asked Cao Buxing to draw the shape of the dragon. Cao Buxing's painting was very successful, so it was appreciated by Sun Hao and treasured in the secret mansion. ”

"Later, when Emperor Wen of the Southern Song Dynasty. There was a long drought, and it didn't rain for several months, the fields dried up and the crops scorched. People kneel on the ground every day. Praying to the heavens with devotion doesn't work. Later, I don't know whose idea it was. Take the dragon painted by Cao Buxing and put it next to the water, and after a while. Sure enough, thunder rumbled and rain poured down. ”

"You say. Could this red dragon picture be the one painted by Cao Buxing in the story? ”

After listening to the story told by Wu Ke, everyone really felt that the red dragon picture in front of them was probably the painting in the story, and it was very coincidental that when this painting was opened, it was also a thunderstorm, and it was really very imaginary between the two.

"Does this painting really have the ability to call the wind and rain?" Liu Sizhe said with a look of surprise.

"How is that possible!" Chu Chen shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then this painting is simply a fairy thing, and the thing is so magical, it won't be nearly 1,800 years old, there is only such a legend?" I think what happened just now was just a coincidence. ”

"So it's going to rain for anything?" Liu Sizhe asked excitedly.

Chu Chen frowned and thought for a while, he couldn't think of anything for this kind of thing that was out of common sense, which made him murmur a little in his heart, could it be that this painting really has the ability to call the wind and rain, it is inevitably too ridiculous, right?

Qiao Qian raised her hand and said: "Actually, if you want to know whether this painting really has the ability to call the wind and rain, you only need to look at the weather forecast, which can be confirmed from the side." ”

"Yes!"

Liu Sizhe hurriedly went to check today's weather forecast, but after a while, he walked over with some disappointment.

"What, it's raining today?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

Liu Sizhe smiled bitterly: "The weather forecast says that there are indeed showers!" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "You kid, don't be sad, think about it, if this painting really has the ability to call the wind and rain, and it spreads, do you think I can keep it?" ”

"That's too!"

Liu Sizhe scratched his head, hehe smiled, for the time being, this painting can only be classified as a strange thing, with the strength of the Chu Chen family, it can still be saved, if it can really call the wind and rain, let alone an individual, the country will be hot, and at that time, no one or a family can be preserved.

"And how much is this painting worth?" Josie asked curiously.

"It's really hard to estimate the value."

Chu Chen shook his head and said: "After all, this painting contains some mysterious factors, not to mention the collection value, even the research value is immeasurable, if this painting spreads, it will definitely cause some collectors and even organizations to compete for it, if the auction can be publicized in place, not to mention hundreds of millions, it is more than a billion, billions or even tens of billions of dollars!" ”

"Isn't it, it's so expensive?" Josie stammered.

"Indeed it is! Something like this can no longer be measured by money alone! ”

Liu Sizhe shrugged his shoulders and said: "So the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty, Brother Chen, you better hurry up and let someone help you send this painting back, so as not to cause extraneous branches." ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Well, I'll call someone to help me send things back now, just to bring back the harvest of the past few days." ”

At this time, he missed Hu Yong a little, and if Hu Yong was there, he wouldn't have to trouble himself.

However, because there was a breakthrough in the porcelain capital, it was necessary to send someone over to sit in the battle. Now Uncle Wu's health is not very good, Chu Chen is not worried about him going over, and he has come to Xiangjiang again, and he can't get out of his body for the time being, so he can only temporarily send Hu Yong over to resist for a while.

Fortunately, Zhao Qirui's connections are very wide, and Xiangjiang is also his own territory, so it is still easy to find a few safe and reliable people to help escort him.

When Chu Chen called back, Qiao Qian blinked her eyes, stared at the picture scroll with a longing expression, and muttered, "It would be nice if there would be another rain!" "It's cute.

Everyone was amused by her and smiled, but to everyone's surprise, God really fulfilled her wish, just like just now, after two thunders, it rained heavily outside the window, and the red dragon picture in front of him appeared as dreamy and fantastic as just now.

With their previous experience, when Chu Chen and the others looked at this strange picture again, although they still felt a trace of surprise in their hearts, they were no longer as shocked as they were just now, and they were able to appreciate this strange picture calmly.

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that in this way, they could be integrated into this picture and experience the artistic conception.

At this time, Chu Chen felt as if he had become a red dragon in the picture scroll, swimming in the sea of clouds carefree, and a sense of freedom arose in his heart, just like the fish returning to the sea and the tiger running to the mountains, it was really happy.

And in this case, he also unexpectedly found that the internal qi in his body was actually running faster, at this speed, it should not take more than two months, he will be able to reach the peak of the Great Zhou Tian, and if he can comprehend the innate meaning, then he can naturally break through to the innate realm.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen's heart couldn't help but be happy, but the emotional fluctuations quickly freed him from that mysterious artistic conception, although he tried his best to maintain that state of mind, but deliberately fell into the inferior, not only did not have the effect of maintaining, but helped him to the contrary.

Seeing that everyone else was intoxicated in the artistic conception, Chu Chen could only smile bitterly in addition to smiling bitterly, fortunately, this painting was his, and he would have the opportunity to enter the artistic conception just now in the future, but if he wanted to appear in front of him, he had to wait until a rainy day to see it, and it was winter, if he was in the capital, he didn't know if he could meet it again in the Year of the Monkey.

The thunderstorm came and went quickly, and it didn't take long for the rain to pass the sky, and the strange painting in front of me was the same as just now, after the red dragon made a long groan, it became its original appearance, and this long groan also woke up the other four people from that wonderful state.

"Huh, what's going on? How did the rain stop! I'd like to feel it a little longer! Liu Sizhe was startled at first, and then said with a depressed face.

Josie also nodded again and again: "Yes! Yes! That feeling of freedom is really comfortable! ”

As she spoke, she looked at the time again, and then said with a look of surprise: "No, it's been twenty minutes, how do I seem to think it's just a blink of an eye!" ”

"Hey, really!" Everyone else was a little surprised. (To be continued......)
