Chapter 123: Master of Enlightenment
"What?" Min Zhuang leaned forward and looked at Shen Jinchu a little funny, "Experts have said that this is An Chao's painting, what do you know as a little girl?" ”
"I understand," Shen Jinchu tilted his little head and said confidently, "This is really not An Chao's painting." ”
Old Man Xing had seen Shen Jinchu's ability, and when he heard her say this, he hurriedly asked, "Miss Shen, do you also have research on the chronology of calligraphy and painting?" ”
"Just know a little bit," Shen Jinchu picked up the top of the scroll, and his fingers lightly tapped on the scroll, "This scroll belongs to the Xian Dynasty, and the people of the Xian Dynasty like to hide a little mystery at the end of the scroll, firstly, to show that they are skilled, and secondly, to prevent others from forgery, you listen, the sound of knocking on both sides of this scroll is completely different." ”
Old Man Xing listened intently for a while, and suddenly said, "Sure enough, that's the case!" ”
In their previous research, they only knew that some literati of the Xian Dynasty liked to engrave a little pattern on the scroll as their own unique symbol, but they did not know that the two sides of the scroll could also be treated with sound.
"This kind of treatment is very rare, as far as I know, there is only one person in the entire Xian Dynasty who will handle the painting scroll in this way," Shen Jinchu stared at the painting for a while, and his fingertips lightly tapped on the corner of the mounting, "That is Master Mingwu." ”
"Master Mingwu?!" Old Man Xing gasped, grabbed the armrest of the chair, and said with a red face: "You mean, this painting scroll was made by Master Mingwu himself?" ”
Master Mingwu is the abbot of the royal temple of the Xian Dynasty, he was born in Kyoto noble family, according to legend, when his mother gave birth to a child, it was the morning glow full of sky, there was a Buddha shape floating in the sky for an hour, and after he landed safely and cried, he suddenly dispersed as if relieved.
Seeing this scene, he immediately shouted "Buddha bless", and carried Master Mingwu into the palace overnight and handed it over to the Queen Mother to raise herself.
The reason why Master Mingwu is praised is because of his many Buddhist works and calligraphy and painting works, he is one of the most well-known calligraphers of the Xian Dynasty, and some calligraphy works can even be sold for a high price of nearly 100 million yuan.
Ignorant as Min Zhuang Min Ping, they have all heard of this famous Dharmaist in history, and when they heard this, they immediately said suspiciously: "It's just such a broken painting scroll, and he doesn't even have a signature, and he still knows the master?" Really? Old man Xing, you won't really be bluffed by this little girl, right? ”
"Please don't say that, Miss Shen is a very knowledgeable person, I believe that she must have her reasons for saying this," Old Man Xing said categorically, "Miss Shen, I understand the matter of painting scrolls, but why do you want to say that the painting is not from the An Dynasty?" ”
"Isn't that simple?" Shen Jinchu blinked, his voice was soft and soft, but the words he said shocked Old Man Xing's heart: "The works of Master Mingwu are very few in the world, not because he writes less, but these are all treasures stained with Buddha spirit, which are to be enshrined in the palace, not to mention now, even in the An Dynasty, the people can't see a few authentic paintings of Master Mingwu." ”
"Besides, the painting scroll made by Master Mingwu himself, with the natural masterpiece, the people of the An Dynasty highly respect Master Mingwu, how could they take the painting scroll on the masterpiece and use it to frame their own works? What a stupid person that must be! ”
