Chapter 1: Strange Paintings
Coming out of the TV station and standing on the bustling street, Wu Wei was extremely depressed. This episode of CCTV's treasure appreciation program walked into Jiangcheng, and he excitedly took a painting of his ancestors to participate, but just now he was sentenced to death by experts. The old expert first talked about how the author of the inscription of this painting was famous, especially good at landscapes and figures, and was a famous painter Yunyun in the late Ming Dynasty. Just as he was about to ask the old expert what the current market price was, the expert changed his words and came up with a word, "but", and the rest of the words were not listened to, all in all, this painting is a fake, it may be imitated in the late Qing Dynasty or the Republic of China, although the level of imitation is very high. "Young man, it's good to hang this painting at home, keep it safe." The old expert finally said with a kind eyebrow.
Wu Wei held the painting, and walked out of the recording hall without knowing the witty words of the famous host, and fled out of the recording hall after answering a few words vaguely, and the crowd surrounding at the exit probably knew the result, and softly let out a good-natured laugh. His face was slightly red, and he quickened his pace away from the TV station and walked out into the street before he let out a sigh of relief.
This unlucky painting, how is it a fake, grandpa also swore before his death that this painting is the authentic work of the famous painter Wu Bin in the late Ming Dynasty, and it can be worth a house, and now the house flies. I don't know when this treasure appreciation show will be broadcast, and it is good that colleagues in the unit should not recognize themselves when the time comes. Wu Wei took the painting, full of grief and indignation, and slowly paced towards the community he rented.
As soon as he entered the house, he received a call from his parents to ask how the situation was, and he was anxious to tell his parents that the painting was not real, so the family members on the phone also regretted a little, and finally my mother said angrily: "Experts are not necessarily absolutely correct, he said that imitation is imitation?" This painting was bought when your grandfather was alive, and I had it when I got married to your father, and it has been passed down in our family for 4 generations and hundreds of years, this is our family heirloom! Son, you have collected this painting and passed it on to my grandson in the future! Wu Wei grinned uncontrollably.
Although the plan to make a fortune has been postponed, it is okay to hear the love between my parents and parents, mainly because Wu Wei's work has been settled recently. Wu Wei, as a graduate of a second university, suddenly exploded in his character in an environment where the employment rate of undergraduate graduates was outrageously low, and he was admitted to the national civil service after five hurdles! This is a great event, the grandfather of the Wu family was a farmer, facing the loess with his back to the sky and digging in the soil, and he entered the city only when he recruited workers in the state-owned factory in the county seat of his father's generation, and now Wu Wei has been admitted to the civil service in the city, although he is only a small clerk in the street office for the time being, but he is also a serious national cadre, and he can be regarded as embarking on a career in office! The job is settled or secondary, and what is rare is the decency of the people before and after.
And Wu Wei has a good external image, tall and straight, with a high nose and big eyes, very handsome, and he was still the main force of the school basketball team in college. No, as soon as the news of his admission to the civil service spread, the three aunts and six mothers-in-law who came to introduce the object all broke through the threshold, and many of them had quite good family backgrounds. But my mother is determined, our son's conditions are good, we have to pick slowly, it is best to find a girl from a cadre family in the city, my mother is a little angry now.
In fact, Wu Wei did not do well in the unit, he was a child of a working family, with no connections and no background, and he was a boy and errand in a government office. His direct leader is highly Chinese, and he stayed up until he was in his 40s before he was promoted to a deputy section chief, and seeing that Wu Wei was a newly assigned college student, he inexplicably had a kind of hostility, always picking thorns in his work, and guarding against Wu Wei's contact with superior leaders like a thief, for fear that Wu Wei would threaten his position. Actually, Wu Wei, as a newcomer, really hasn't had any extra thoughts, he is busy like a dog all day long, and he is treated like this, not to mention how depressed he is. If it weren't for the comfort and pride on his parents' faces, Wu Wei really wanted to resign and leave!
After talking on the phone, I cooked a bowl of instant noodles in an electric pot even if it was dinner. The unit provides free accommodation for single new recruits, which is a single room with a bathroom, and civil servants are also considered benefits. There is no kitchen, but bachelors are not very particular, and sometimes it is enough to cook instant noodles in an electric pot or something.
After eating, Wu Wei sat cross-legged on the bed in his room, unfolded the painting, and looked at it carefully.
I have to say that although it is not a genuine handiwork, the skill of this painting is still very deep, the ink is natural, the brush is old, but the scenery in the picture is a bit that, the mountains are dangerous and the pits are deep, the grass and trees are yellow, and there are no human traces, which is very different from the general ancient landscape paintings, which makes people feel a sad feeling in their hearts at a glance.
The seal in the lower left corner of the picture is very eye-catching, the four characters of "Zhiyin Nunnery Master" are bright red, it looks like it has just been covered, as if the ink has not dried thoroughly, and the experts mainly conclude that this painting is a later imitation based on this paragraph, the reason is that this seal is too new, it is a modern thing.
Looking at the seal that didn't seem to be dry, Wu Wei couldn't help but reach out to touch it, his right index finger just touched the paper, and with an instantaneous "buzz", a circle of light suddenly appeared above the screen, no, to be precise, it was a light gate!
The light gate is about one meter five high, one meter wide, the surrounding light flows, magnificent and indescribable, the door is covered with clouds and fog, a chaos, there is a faint sound of thunder and lightning, the whole door is just hanging in the air and floating next to the picture, Wu Wei usually likes to watch American dramas, his first feeling is that this light gate is like the time and space anomaly in "Ancient Invasion"!
Looking at the circulating light gate, as if some monster would be released from the door in the next second, Wu Wei felt that the hairs on his neck stood up. He hurriedly reached out and touched the seal again, and with a "buzz", the light door disappeared.
Staring at the painting on the bed, it was still lying there silently, as if the qiē just now was just an illusion. It's too defying to the common sense of physics, what the hell is this? Is this really a painting?
After a while, Wu Wei reached out and touched the seal on the painting again, and the light gate appeared again, it was really stored in front of Wu Wei, and there was even a hot wind blowing inside, with the smell of dry sand!
Closing the light door again, Wu Wei took a while to recover from the shock, the matter is confirmed, this painting is strange, the light door just now, that end seems to lead to another unknown world, because the back of the light door is still in this room, although it is summer, but the air conditioning in the room is very full, and the wind blowing out of the light door clearly shows that the world on that side seems to be ...... It's hot?
What to do? The option to alarm is ruled out first. Just kidding, I called the police when my head was broken. First of all, the police will definitely treat you as a prank, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if you show it to the police, so what? The fool also knows that this painting will definitely be confiscated, and the state will use the painting for research, and at most it will give you a good citizen award or something.
Sue sù family? How to say it, this is beyond the comprehension of people of my parents' age, and I don't know what kind of reaction it will cause them, maybe it will cause a storm in the city, everyone knows it, this is the same as calling the police directly, this option is also excluded.
After thinking about it, Wu Wei decided to study it himself first and see what was on the other side of the light gate.
Wu Wei tied the video head he used for online chat to the sharp hook of the clothes pole with shoelaces, turned on the camera function, looked at the video screen on the notebook, turned it a few times, and confirmed that the video head was working normally. Then he opened the light door, sighed, and slowly stretched the clothes pole into the light door!
The video head is Bluetooth, the effective distance is only a few meters, the clothes pole is about one meter five, at first the notebook screen was blurred, when the video head went deep into the light door about one meter, the video screen suddenly changed, Wu Wei was in good spirits, gently rotated the clothes pole, a real and clear world at a glance!
Looking at the picture on the laptop screen, Wu Wei was stunned!
