I unfolded the painting and looked at it calmly. I don't know if it's because of the excitement and brain fatigue, the eyes are a little glazed, and the whole painting only feels that the clouds are steaming and the river is surging, and there is a layer of mist that cannot be explained.

I had no choice but to put the painting away, thinking that I would look at it again tomorrow when I had time during the day.

The next day, I washed up briefly and took a taxi to Nanhua Tea House. Went inside to explain the situation, the waiter took it to the private room on the second floor, Zhang Nanhua was chatting with a middle-aged man, the tea set was on the table, small snacks and snacks were full of tables, and Zhang Nanhua personally made tea.

I greeted with a big grin, "Nanhua, I'm here." ”

Zhang Nanhua and the middle-aged man looked sideways together, I made a look at them, and when I saw this middle-aged man, I gasped, and my heartbeat accelerated suddenly, there was such a coincidence, he was the boss of Jubaozhai.

I once asked him to sell dragon scales, and I have dealt with him, which is troublesome, selling dragon scales is my big secret, but I didn't expect to bump into an insider today.

I felt bitter in my heart, and Boss Zhou asked curiously: "Nanhua, who is this?" ”

I was shocked, Boss Zhou doesn't know me anymore?

I looked at his expression, Boss Zhou didn't look at me, just smiled calmly, as if nothing had happened.

"Oh, let me introduce, this is my friend's name Lin Cong. Lin Cong, this is a big man in the antique world, my good friend Boss Zhou. Zhang Nanhua stood up and introduced.

I hurriedly shook hands with Boss Zhou, and Boss Zhou smiled politely, "Mr. Lin and Nanhua are both young talents, and I feel old in comparison." ”

I smiled politely and said I didn't dare to take it seriously. I was very suspicious, I didn't know if Boss Zhou really couldn't recognize it, or if he was pretending to be confused.

I sat in the guest seat next to Boss Zhou, Zhang Nanhua was brewing tea in the main seat, "The two of you just came to taste, this is the authentic Taishan daughter red sent by Shandong friends, all of which are home-grown, picking the aura of Mount Tai Tiandi, ordinary people can't drink it." ”

Boss Zhou laughed and said, I like to drink tea, so I'm not welcome today.

When making tea, Zhang Nanhua said: "I won't be polite to the two of you, this time I invite you over, there is a big matter." Zhang Nanhua filled the tea for Boss Zhou, and then poured it for me.

Boss Zhou sniffed it and praised the tea. Zhang Nanhua said: "Brother Zhou, you drink first, Lin Cong just came, and I don't know what happened, I'll tell him about it." ”

Boss Zhou laughed, made a gesture to please, and took a sip of tea with an intoxicated look.

Zhang Nanhua said: "Lin Cong, I took the picture predicted by Zhao Xiaowen, I have found a lot of people in the past few days, launched a lot of relationships, consulted a lot of information, and there has been no result, no one knows where the temple is, and I can't even tell the details of the clues." ”

"That's because you didn't come to me first." Boss Zhou interjected.

Zhang Nanhua smiled: "Yes, it was my mistake, because I have a blind spot in my thinking, and I always think that this is a modern place, an imitation of the building, so I look for more friends in tourism, but I ignore that it may be a real ancient temple of the Song Dynasty." Later, I also had the attitude of trying it out, Brother Zhou is an antique master, and he is also a Jianghu person who travels south and north, needless to say, he showed three paintings to Brother Zhou. ”

At that time, Zhang Nanhua had hit a wall everywhere and did not get any valuable feedback, so he found Boss Zhou purely with the mentality of beating rabbits by the way. Boss Zhou looked at Zhao Xiaowen's painting carefully, he didn't put forward any clues, but just told Zhang Nanhua that judging from the architecture of the ancient temple, there is no doubt that it is indeed a Song Dynasty building.

Boss Zhou gave Zhang Nanhua the characteristics of Song Dynasty architecture, especially the style of the temple. Zhang Nanhua was very disappointed in his heart, what is the architecture of the Song Dynasty, many experts have talked about it in the past few days, and it has been basically confirmed that the ancient temple on the painting is from the Song Dynasty. This point needs no further elaboration.

Zhang Nanhua wanted to say goodbye and leave at that time, but Boss Zhou was very enthusiastic, went to the back room and took out a very old notebook, and told Zhang Nanhua that this was the note left by Liang Sicheng when he traveled all over the country and inspected the antiquities and buildings in various places, which was extremely precious. He turned a page, there is a decomposition of a temple on it, this temple is called Anchan Temple, it is one of the few buildings left in the Northern Song Dynasty, the style on it, especially the eaves, and the ancient temple that appears on the painting, it is exactly the same.

Zhang Nanhua looked at Boss Zhou's energetic appearance, and knew that he had scratched his point, and Boss Zhou was really gushing when he encountered something he was good at. But Zhang Nanhua was very disappointed, he didn't want to delay time, and wanted to leave with a polite word. He asked, there are no such buildings anymore.

Boss Zhou said, that must be gone, the Song Dynasty buildings are mostly wooden, and it has been handed down for thousands of years, and this thousand years not only have to be fire and theft prevention, but also war, man-made destruction and so on. In the end, it can be handed down, how much chance, at present, there are a number of Song Dynasty buildings in China, anyway, I know no more than ten, and I don't designate this one.

Zhang Nanhua was extremely disappointed, his brows furrowed, he sighed deeply, but he still thanked politely and prepared to leave. Boss Zhou thought for a while and said, don't be in a hurry to leave, this temple is very familiar to me, I should have seen it.

Zhang Nanhua stood up, stopped again when he heard this, and asked Didn't you say you didn't know?

Boss Zhou's expression was a little abnormal, and he blinked and said, you will know if you come with me, things are very strange, and I didn't think about it at first.

He patted Zhang Nanhua on the shoulder and signaled not to leave first, and went to the study together.

The two entered the study, and Boss Zhou turned on the computer, rummaged through folders, and finally found a picture. This picture is very large, it takes a long time to load, slowly unfolded, it turned out to be a photocopy of an ancient painting, Boss Zhou pointed to one of the pictures and said, you see if it is this temple.

Zhang Nanhua was extremely shocked, he didn't believe his eyes at all, and he was stunned at that time.

Boss Zhou said, look at it, you can't believe it yourself, I didn't dare to think about it here at first.

Hearing this, I was itchy and hurriedly asked, "What did you see, what kind of picture did you see?" ”

Zhang Nanhua motioned for me to be calm, stood up and went to the desk, and took out a painting from a drawer. The painting was large, rolled into a scroll and tied with ribbons.

Seeing this scene, my whole body was shocked, and I couldn't help but touch the leather jacket, which contained the painting that Li Damin gave me, and for some reason, I suddenly had an indescribable sense of foreboding, and my hairs rose.

Zhang Nanhua said: "After seeing the painting in Boss Zhou's store, I specially found someone to reprint it, and it was almost the original size. Lin Cong, I called you here to refer to the details together. Come on, do me a favor. ”

My hands were shaking all the time, trying to hide myself as much as I could, and my heart was pounding. He untied the ribbon and held one side of the scroll, let me hold the other side, and we slowly unfolded the whole picture.

As the painting unfolded, more and more patterns appeared on it, and the more I looked at it, the more shocked I became, my pupils opened, and my mouth slowly opened wide.

The content above is exactly the painting that Li Damin handed over to me, exactly the same, it is the same painting.

My hand trembled, the scroll was taken off my hand, and "dangchang" fell to the ground.

Zhang Nanhua and Boss Zhou looked at it at the same time, I knew that I was out of shape, so I hurriedly squatted on the ground to pick it up, but I actually hid my frightened look. I played a round and said, "This, this painting, what's going on?" ”

Zhang Nanhua sighed: "Lin Cong, when I saw this painting for the first time, I also behaved the same as you. I was very shocked, and I couldn't figure it out. ”

I didn't speak, my throat kept moving, and I helped Zhang Nanhua unfold the whole painting, which was more than a meter long. I saw that the painting was full of smoke and waves, green mountains and black waters, and the weather was myriad, although it was magnificent, it did not have the agility and realism of Li Damin's painting. Perhaps this is the case with photocopied editions, where the details can be completely reproduced, but the author's penmanship and emotions cannot be fully conveyed......

A thought popped into my mind, the painting that Li Damin handed me was also an imitation, but why was it so smart?

Zhang Nanhua beckoned me to put the painting on the long table, and the three of us stood at the table, Boss Zhou held the tea bowl in one hand and pointed to the halfway point of a mountain with the other, "Look, that temple is there." ”

I rubbed my eyes and looked closely, it was the ancient temple where Li Damin was.

My heart was beating so fast that it seemed to be jumping out of my neck, and I put my hands behind my back and squeezed each other hard to remind myself not to show my face. If this painting and the painting in my hand are just one painting, then my painting should also have this ancient temple......

I had been drawing in my hand for days, and I didn't look at it closely, so I missed the most important clues, which is really damned.

I can't stay a little stunned, I want to hurry home and take a closer look, living here like a year!

Zhang Nanhua asked Boss Zhou to explain the painting carefully.

Boss Zhou said slowly: "This painting is made by the famous painter Li Cheng of the Northern Song Dynasty, this person paints more empty scenes in Pingyuan, uses more light ink, and uses less paint. And in this painting, if you look at it, the mountains are green mountains, the water is black water, and there is a faint mist on it, which is all colored. So I was very impressed by this painting, so I was able to find it in time to show it to Nanhua. The ancient temple you are looking for is on this painting. ”

"So this painting ...... What kind of place is it drawn? I quickly asked, "Is it possible to find the temple by following the picture according to the content of the painting?" ”
