Wu Daozi's "Sending the Son to the Heavenly King" is a handscroll on paper, and it is said to be a copy of the Song people. The picture, also known as the "Birth of the Buddha", is painted by Wu Daozi according to the Buddhist scripture "Ruiying Ben Sutra".

As a famous painting of the Buddha's birthday, we can see that after Buddhism was introduced to China from India, through the late Han Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it gradually merged with Chinese culture: the characters in the painting have been localized, and they are no longer with deep sunken eyes and dark faces, like Dharma, but completely Han Chinese.

As a Chinese painting, it also marks the beginning of a new era of line drawing: the "blue leaf line" is derived from the "iron line", and since then the line drawing technique of Chinese painting has been greatly prepared.

It is no wonder that Su Dongpo said: "Painting to Wu Daozi, the changes of ancient and modern, the ability of the world is finished."

"My lord, don't kill me, don't kill me, I have a treasure to offer!". When he met a murderous soldier, the old father was really scared, and he trembled and took out a picture scroll from his clothes and handed it to Li Ling.

In the center of the scroll, the pen is moved, and the "orchid leaf line" with constantly changing thickness is used as a line drawing to shape the image.

Holding "Sending the Son to the Heavenly King" in his hand, Li Ling was taken aback, this picture is not a great ingenuity, and it has a famous charm.

The line drawing of each part of the painting is vigorous and smooth, the thickness is frustrating, flowing with the heart, mellow and elegant, the rhythm is distinct, the pen is wonderful, the shape is flying, reflecting a different kind of line drawing charm.

"Okay, you old man, don't we know it? Take a fake painting to deceive us? ”。

When Li Lingzheng was shocked and couldn't tell whether this painting was real or fake, Zhu Shou shouted and came out of the crowd and accused the two fathers and sons.

Although he is stubborn and does not know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, he knows very well that this picture is fake!

There is no other reason, this kid has seen the real "Picture of the Heavenly King of Sending the Son", which was collected by a dignitary in the capital, and it is absolutely impossible for it to appear in the hands of this old man again.

"You are talking nonsense, this picture is absolutely real!". The young man argued with a red face.

At this time, to deny this painting is undoubtedly asking for hardship, and these soldiers will not let them go.

"Good!".

The father and son looked nervous, obviously what Zhu Shou said was correct!

Li Ling was very angry that he actually used a fake painting to fool us, he sneered and instructed Xiao Ba: "Since this painting is real, then these two people are of no use to us, let's still feed them in the sea to the fish!" ”。

"Yes, I'll let the brothers do it right away!" Xiaoba was stunned, although he didn't understand why the eldest young master did this, but he still habitually agreed.

The old man was also stunned, he couldn't imagine that this little military master would want to kill someone without saying a word. No wonder everyone listened to him at his young age.

"Master Jun, don't blame you, this picture is indeed fake, we copied it and made it old, don't look at its withered yellow appearance, in fact, it has just been imitated for only three years!"

This group of officers and soldiers fought against the Japanese all day long, and they were all iron-blooded.

Seeing that Li Ling was indifferent, he continued: "My lord, the ancestral skills of the little old man are good at imitating all kinds of pictures and carving seals, to put it mildly, you just want the jade seal I can also make it, and it is vivid, ordinary people can't tell the truth at all, don't kill our father and son, our technology is very helpful to you!" ”。

As soon as the old man nagged, it was endless, and in order to survive, he uncovered his old bottom.

The father-in-law's surname is Song Minglu, and his son's name is Song Yu.

The two fathers and sons have no other skills, and only rely on a little craftsmanship passed down from their ancestors.

The Ming Dynasty admired scholars, and it was not difficult to have food and clothing with the skills of the two.

Because the calligraphy and paintings they copied were vivid and indistinguishable from the fake, the names of the two soon spread.

Three years ago, the local parents asked them to copy a picture of the Heavenly King of Sending a Child, saying that they wanted to hang it in the study to enjoy.

The two agreed without much investigation, and the drawings were distressed according to his request.

How do you know that it is this incident that has planted the trouble for them, and I recently heard that this official used the pictures he copied back then to curry favor with the powerful in the capital.

Since learning the news, the two have been restless, for fear that one day the East Window incident will cause the powerful to find trouble, or the parents and officials will deal with them in order to keep secrets.

The father and son combined, and there was no one else in the family anyway, so they simply bought a field and a house to beg for a living.

It happened that the imperial court lifted the ban on the sea, so they wanted to try their luck in Dongying, at least those Orientals couldn't tell whether the calligraphy and paintings they made were real or fake, so they could fish in troubled waters.

It's just that they didn't expect to make people happen, they just ran into the Japanese as soon as they walked out of the offshore sea, if it weren't for Li Ling's attack on this island, it's hard to say whether they would survive!

"I have told you everything, please don't kill us, if you don't dislike it, our father and son will serve you before and after the saddle!" After Song Lu finished speaking, he stood quietly next to Li Ling, waiting for his fate.

Only then did Xiaoba understand the intention of the eldest young master just now, it turned out to scare the father and son of the Song family. But this trick is really useful, and with a casual threat, the old man will tell all the information they want to know.

"They copied the "Picture of the Heavenly King of Sending the Son" three years ago, and it seems that the father and son did not just make a pair, could it be that the one they had seen before was also a fake? I'll have to do some research when I get back! ”。 Zhu Shou thought about his mind and didn't care about other people.

"This military master, who can deal with the Japanese must be a good person, don't scare our father and son, we are really Mingren. And we haven't done anything bad, so please take us in! ”。

Being in the vast sea, not to mention that Li Ling wants to deal with them, just placing the two of them on this isolated island, it is difficult to say whether the father and son can survive!

The Song father and son lost their sea boats, and if this group of Ming troops did not save them, it is difficult to say whether they would be able to return to China safely.

"Mr. Song, you have also seen it, we came out this time to exterminate the pirates and pirates, if your father and son follow us, I am afraid that we will encounter a lot of danger!" Li Ling Shen revealed the matter to them afterwards.

He didn't want to kidnap people on his chariot, but he didn't want to send ships to send them back.

"I'm afraid of eggs, our father and son are also Ming people, everyone knows about the rampant Japanese bandits, since the adults are willing to respect our wishes, I will make a statement, from today onwards, our father and son will join the army!". Song Yu replied loudly, his voice impassioned!

The two fathers and sons made eye contact and decided to join the army!

"Report, there is a two-masted warship sailing five miles ahead, please decide!"

When Li Ling hesitated, the soldier in charge of the sentry suddenly came to report a shocking news.

Another enemy is coming to the door.

"Prepare for battle!". Li Ling shouted.

Now he has no intention of caring about the Song father and son.
