Chapter 266: A study full of treasures
This is the masterpiece of the Southern Song Dynasty Danqing master Li Song, "Skeleton Fantasy Play"?
Li Yu's gaze followed the guidance of Huang Hanlin in front of him and fell on the wall.
Like Huang Hanlin's copy, in the middle of the painting is a large skeleton wearing a hat and a transparent gauze robe, which sits casually on the ground, holding a small skeleton in its right hand, and grinning.
The little skeleton beckoned and danced, and on the opposite side was a child who had not yet learned to walk, crawling on his knees, reaching out to grab the little skeleton.
Behind the child is a woman with her hands outstretched as if to block it, and behind the large skeleton sits another woman, bare-chested nursing the child in her arms.
The overall composition, brushwork, and even color are similar, like a mold printed, but I don't know if the paper and ink used have passed a longer age, and there is a reaction that can only be born after some kind of time precipitation, and there is an indescribable peculiar charm.
It feels like those old photos from the past life have been in place for many years, and the original vivid colors have fallen off, becoming old and colorful.
At the beginning, Li Yu sometimes thought that it was because Huang Hanlin and others or collectors before this had taken poor care of the paintings, which naturally left traces of time.
But if you think about it carefully, although the preservation of famous paintings is a professional job, it will not be inherited in such an orderly manner, and the age will not be traced back to the famous paintings before the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it will never suffer such grievances.
Today's Daqian is not hundreds or thousands of years old from that era, and it is far from being so.
Compared with nature, the traces left by the years are more like the erosion of treacherous forces.
Its overall picture is more gloomy, and the characters in the painting are more vivid, especially the two skeletons, one large and one small, which make people feel ghostly for no reason, as if it is possible to get out of it anytime and anywhere.
Li Yu glanced at them out of the corner of his eye, and then landed on the inscription in the painting.
The book in the picture has a song from Huang Gongwang's "Drunk in the Sky":
There is no skin and meat, and there is a burden of bitterness and sorrow. The puppet also drew the silk thread, looking for a small way to tease the enemy. Recognize that you are not ashamed? Staying alone for five miles.
Immediately afterward, a strange aura flowed, and the pale firelight condensed into handwriting revealed its name.
Strange Treasure (Skeleton Fantasy Picture)
"From the work of the famous Southern Song Dynasty artist Li Song, also known as the skeleton and baby picture, it can see cause and effect and control the skeleton and white bones."
Fantasy (Skeleton Fantasy)
"The mystical techniques that can be performed after harnessing this treasure can summon evil demons (illusion puppets) and perform the secret drama of real illusion and rebirth."
It's not the Trick Realm (Phantom Villa)?
Although it was not the first time that Li Yu had encountered something similar, he was still slightly surprised to see its treacherous essence.
He thought that the body of the strange domain was hidden in this painting, but he didn't expect to guess wrong.
The power of this strange treasure makes it something else.
But what does this deviation really mean?
What you see with the eyes of the true law is not false, it must mean that its source has another treasure, and it may even be a strange domain brought by some evil demon!
Thinking of this, Li Yu cast his eyes on Huang Hanlin in front of him with a little meaning. ....Huang Hanlin, who ordinary people thought must be the source of the demon, presented this kind of information in the eyes of the Truth Vision.
Demon (Phantom Puppet)
"A puppet that is revealed by a strange spell (skeleton illusion)"
In fact, when he first stepped into this mountain villa and saw this demon, he had already discovered it, but at that time, Li Yu didn't know where the so-called magic (skeleton illusion) came from.
Now it seems that it is being manipulated by this thing.
Li Yu looked at it intently, and sure enough, he found that the strange aura on its body was similar to the mixed and stale that lingered in the picture, but what was intriguing was that the feeling of that painting was not like a strange treasure placed there like an original ecology, but like a ......
A treasure that has been harnessed!
"Hey, do you feel anything? The two skeletons are moving? ”
Huang Ying's slightly frightened voice came, reminding Li Yu in a low voice.
"It'...... They seem to have seen it......"
Li Yu turned his head to look over, and sure enough, he noticed that the two skull heads of the transformation seed, one large and one small, seemed to move slightly, and their eyes could be seen in the direction of this side.
The amplitude of this movement is not large, as if it is an illusion created by tension.
Huang Hanlin didn't care about it, but silently lit the lamp next to him and lit up the entire study.
Under the bright lights, the eerie aura seemed to be dispelled a little, and it was no longer stale and mottled before.
The gloomy feeling of the strange treasure picture seems to have been reduced a little, which makes people feel that everything they have seen before is an illusion.
But Li Yu clearly saw that the strange aura of blue, white, gray and black soul-calling was even stronger.
They are all over that painting, and there is some kind of peculiar rule that implies them.
"Little friend, please."
There are always pen, ink, paper and inkstones in the study, and Huang Hanlin is easy-going, and even plans to sharpen ink for Li Yu himself.
Seeing this, Huang Ying hurriedly stepped forward: "The old gentleman will rest next to him first, and I will come." ”
"Hehe, then there will be labor." Huang Hanlin glanced at her, and the expression on his face seemed to be a little meaningful.
Li Yu glanced at her and didn't say anything, just took advantage of her grinding ink and secretly observed the furnishings in the room.
It turned out to make him Huo Ran's heart move.
There are several valuable things in it at random.
Treasure (Meishan ink)
"A kind of ink commonly used by Jiangnan literati, after being contaminated with treachery, turned into a strange treasure, which needs to be reconciled with blood, can write words, and appear in specific places"
"This item is a consumable item"
Treasure (paper cutter)
"A knife used to cut paper, but after being contaminated with treachery, it has been given extremely sharp characteristics."
Strange Treasure (Wangchuan Anthology)
"An anthology co-edited by the literati of Wangchuan County, which contains splendid articles and can perform strange arts (couplets)"
Alien Technique (Couplet)
"Evil demons (literary ghosts) are good at couplets, and when they meet people, they often ask for the right couplet, and those who can't respond will die."
"Performing a magic (couplet) consumes energy, and if you are targeted, you will suffer from it."
Treasure (bamboo pen holder)
"An ominous relic that contains the power of bad luck and can attract evil spirits (Bunki)"
Demon (Bunki)
"The soul of the scholar who lives in the strange treasure (bamboo pen holder) used to be a shabby talent, who threw himself into the river and died after many years of inactivity, and his obsession turned into a powerful ghost, and he showed his appearance because of the treacherous parasitic things before his life."
Anomaly (Misfortune)
"Bestow invisible doom on those who see"
……
I didn't notice that this was a treasure trove!
But for some reason, Li Yu inexplicably thought of the study in his Hou Mansion.
If one day, if you make an ancient book and leave a study for future generations to break into and explore, will it be like now, showing a moving scene full of treasures?
