Volume 1 Chapter 84: Dragon Vein Soil Painting
Master Cao's tone was very anxious, as if he had discovered something terrible.
"Master Cao, what did you find? As for being in such a hurry..... I stared at Master Cao, took out a cigarette and lit it.
Master Cao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Third Master Qiu, do you still remember the cowhide picture that you and I and the second master and the three of us went to the auction to auction before?" ”
"Remember, didn't you say that the cowhide map recorded an entire dragon vein?"
"Yes, it's the dragon vein..... In the afternoon, I went to ask the old man Chen about going to Tibet, and he told me that it was because he had translated more content in the silk book, but the content of the silk book never mentioned any information about the place, so I didn't take the silk book seriously at all during this time. ”
After a pause, Master Cao continued to talk about his experience in the afternoon.
Master Cao said that he didn't take the silk book seriously at all, but after going to Professor Chen in the afternoon, Professor Chen compared many materials, and most of the contents recorded in the silk book were consistent with Tibet and the Kunlun Mountains.
Therefore, Professor Chen came up with the idea of going to Kunlun Mountain for an investigation.
When he arrived here, Master Cao felt that there was nothing wrong with all this, and Professor Chen's decision was the same as the research direction and method of the Institute, and archaeology was also composed of this kind of speculation and field exploration.
But in the process of chatting, Master Cao happened to see a notebook on Professor Chen's desk, on which a trend chart was drawn.
Master Cao felt familiar, picked it up and looked at it for a long time, but he never remembered what it was. He asked Professor Chen what this painting was, and Professor Chen explained that Kunlun Mountain is also one of the many dragon veins in China, and what was drawn in the notebook was a diagram of the dragon veins of the entire Kunlun Mountain.
These words were like an empowerment to Master Cao, and he instantly recalled the cowhide picture we bought at the auction earlier!
The dragon veins formed by several dots on the cowhide diagram are exactly the same as the one drawn by Professor Chen.
This is also the reason why Master Cao is shouting.
I thought about it carefully and found the suspicions, I said to Master Cao: "No, Master Cao, since this Kunlun Mountain is the same as the dragon vein drawn on the cowhide map, you should have seen it a long time ago with your eyesight, after all, Kunlun Mountain is drawn on the map, and it is also a dragon vein that has been made public in China since ancient times, how can you wait for Professor Chen's mention to think of it?" ”
If we spend more than 100,000 yuan to take pictures of the cowhide map that records an open dragon vein, wouldn't this be an unjust seed?
Master Cao shook his head at me, and he said, "If the cowhide map is the dragon vein of Kunlun Mountain, I will definitely be able to see it immediately..... But this thing is a bit boring, although the cowhide chart is the dragon vein of Kunlun Mountain, but it is still a little different. ”
"You can finish it in one breath, don't talk and pant!" I was a little anxious and scolded directly.
Master Cao immediately took out the cowhide map from his pocket, and then called a guy to bring a map over, and then found the location of Kunlun Mountain on the map, and put the cowhide map aside for comparison.
"The trend of Mount Kunlun on the map is not completely drawn, because this is the official drawing method..... You think, maps can be bought all over the world, but geographic information involves state secrets, so the maps drawn must have been calculated and surveyed, and there must be a slight error on the maps displayed on the market..... The reason why I didn't see it was because the official painting method of Kunlun Mountain was preconceived in my mind, and the dragon vein of Kunlun Mountain on the cowhide map was the soil painting method. ”
Master Cao told me that the so-called dragon vein clay painting method is directly observed by the Tufu people, and directly hand-painted by relying on their own understanding and observation.
However, because of the advanced technology and complete equipment now, no one has long used the soil method to draw the dragon vein, and most of the Tufuzi today are halfway monks, and the part of the art industry is not proficient, and they have never heard of this dragon vein soil painting method. So Master Cao didn't expect this stubble at the beginning.
If it weren't for the dragon vein of the clay painting method in Professor Chen's notebook, Master Cao said that he really couldn't think of it.
I subconsciously said, "Then you mean to say that the cowhide picture was drawn by a certain Tufuzi?" ”
Master Cao nodded, lit a cigarette for himself, took a puff and said meaningfully: "That's right, it was drawn by an old-timer, and this cowhide map is at least a hundred years old..... But Third Master Qiu, a tomb robber has nothing to do to draw a dragon vein? It must be a giant tomb on this dragon vein! ”
"Shhh..... That's not right, let's not say that this Kunlun Mountain is a snow-capped mountain, and there is basically no tomb on it. Let's talk about Professor Chen, he is an old professor of a scientific research institute, how can he know the clay painting method of this dragon vein? ”
I thought to myself, could it be that Professor Chen was still a tomb robber when he was young, and he changed careers to scientific research institutes when he was as old as us?
But it shouldn't be possible, the disgust he shows for tomb robbers on weekdays is not pretended, and sometimes he can scold the grave robbers for giving birth to a child without a butt seam. If he turned out to be a tomb robber, how could he curse himself like this?
Master Cao spit out a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "I was also strange at the time, I asked him who drew the dragon vein in this notebook to him, and he said that he was a year-old painter, and he had a great ability to make friends in the year, and he bragged to me for a long time." ”
Professor Chan is 58 years old this year, and he is probably already 80 or 90 years old. If you count it this way, this is almost the last century.
Therefore, if Professor Chen, a year-old friend, is a native master, it is not uncommon for him to know how to paint dragon veins.
I told Master Cao my speculation, and Master Cao also felt that it made sense, and finally joked: "This old man Chen is about to blow his year-old friend to the sky, but it is estimated that he didn't expect that guy to be a native master, otherwise with Old Man Chen's temper, it would be hellish to be able to have a deep friendship with him." ”
After saying that, I remembered to ask Master Cao: "Master Cao, you told me that the dragon vein on the cowhide map is the area of Kunlun Mountain that we are going to go, so are you planning to find the giant tomb hidden there by the way?" This time it's just the two of us, but there is no second brother and Dawu, and besides, they don't have anything to do with them, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”
"Hehe, I'm not stupid, let's go and pour this bucket, ninety percent of it will be folded in it..... This time, follow Old Man Chen's team, let's step on the point, and tell the second master the situation when we come back, and then let the second master bring equipment and people to dig up the snow mountain tomb! ”
I didn't answer again, because I didn't want to fight, but the second brother and Master Cao ate this bowl of rice, and I didn't want to go myself, so I couldn't stop them and not go.
So I don't have any objection to stepping on this.
After that, I went back to my room to sleep, and Master Cao told me to gather at the entrance of the institute at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, so that I could rest early in the evening.
