Reborn with wealth that rivals the country

"Master Cheng has a good idea." Chen Mo finally showed a smile on his face.

"So that's it! If it's true, it's another huge discovery in the antique world, a hundred times more massive than the King's Golden Cat!"

Saying that, Cheng Wanli hurriedly said:

"Mingyuan, go and prepare the equipment for me to unveil the frame!"

Gao Mingyuan asked with a confused look:

"Teacher, are you two playing riddles here? What on earth is going on?"

"Mingyuan, Mr. Chen has reminded me so clearly, why don't you understand? It's a good thing that you are still my apprentice."

Cheng Wanli shook his head dissatisfied, and then said: "The surface of this painting is a copy of Master Qi's work, but underneath, it is the original work of the painting saint Wu Daozi!"

"Rice paper is made in layers. An ordinary rice paper can be split into two or three layers, and good and thick rice paper can even be split into dozens of layers. Since the Ming Dynasty, most calligraphy and painting have been done on rice paper. Because rice paper has a longer lifespan than silk, And it has this unique performance. Once ancient calligraphy and paintings made with rice paper are in the hands of merchants, they will split the original work into as many layers as possible, and then use rice paper to support each layer. Thickening. In this way, one work becomes two or even multiple pieces. However, the color of each layer after splitting, even the top layer, is not as good as the original work. The forger needs to make up for it separately according to the original work. Then use the fumigation method to make it old, making it difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake. Dishonest framers often use this method to steal other people's paintings and calligraphy."

Cheng Wanli's explanation was very detailed, and Gao Mingyuan understood it immediately.

At this moment, Gao Mingyuan, who had never believed it, began to waver in his heart.

Is it possible that his "Picture of the King Delivering His Son" is really just one layer among several layers of rice paper?

All the answers can be revealed as soon as Cheng Wanli is finished!

Cheng Wanli's demounting skills are extremely skilled, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he is the best demounting master in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Every movement was made with utmost care.

His eyes were full of desire.

Chen Mo felt that at this moment, even if Fan Bingxin stripped naked and stood in front of Cheng Wanli, he could turn a blind eye!

The complete peeling process was very long, and Cheng Wanli was extremely careful. He worked for more than four hours before finally peeling off the first layer.

The second floor is still the copy work of Master Qi.

Chen Mo was not surprised at all.

After all, it is impossible to completely cover up the original work with a single layer.

Another three hours passed.

The second and third layers were all removed.

After peeling off the three layers, Cheng Wanli wiped the sweat from his forehead and wiped all the sweat from his hands, and then picked up a magnifying glass to observe carefully.

The more he observed, the more frightened Cheng Wanli became. Finally, his body couldn't stop shaking wildly!

"Quick! Mingyuan!!! Quick!"

"Go and get your "Picture of Delivering a Child to the Heavenly King" and compare it!"

Gao Mingyuan responded quickly and ran to the collection room. After a while, he came back with a scroll.

Gao Mingyuan unfolded the scroll, placed it parallel to the painting, and observed it himself.

The more he looked at Gao Mingyuan, the more shocked and fiery his eyes became!

Gao Mingyuan has been collecting "The Picture of the King Sending His Son" for many years. He looks at it almost every few days. He knows every part of the West Street in this painting like the back of his hand!

No matter which way you look at it, the layer below is undoubtedly the authentic work of Wu Daozi!

"Hiss~~~~"

Cheng Wanli took a breath of cold air, and it took a long time for the shock in his heart to calm down.

"Really...this is Wu Daozi's authentic work!"

"Mr. Chen did not lie!!!"

"Moreover, there should be another layer underneath, and even several layers can be revealed!"

Gao Mingyuan looked at these two pictures as if he was talking in a dream, and said dreamily:

"Several layers combined into one, a genuine painting, what a miracle!!"

"This is not the only miracle!"

Chen Mo stacked the three layers of Master Qi's paintings on top of each other and placed them under the light.

A layer of tiny calligraphy appeared in the light under the shocked gazes of Gao Mingyuan and Cheng Wanli!

"This is……"

Cheng Wanli held a magnifying glass with a trembling voice and read:

"The current situation is turbulent and the war continues. I can't bear the national treasure to be destroyed by the war or taken away by thieves, so I painted this humble painting, hid it in the painting, and gave it to a foreign friend for safekeeping, and asked him to return it to Daxia in a safe period."

"If one day, the national treasure returns to Xia, I hope that the descendants will hand it over to the country so that thousands of descendants of Xia can admire the authentic style of the painting sage. - Shan Weng's last work"

After reading this passage, Chen Mo and the other three were silent for a long time.

Especially Cheng Wanli, who was already in tears.

"A pure heart, full of love.

Before Master Qi died, he still thought about returning the national treasure to his country. He was so benevolent and righteous, which is admirable! "

Gao Mingyuan took a deep breath, relieved his heavy heart, and asked: "Mr. Chen, how much do you want to sell it for?"

Judging from his expression, it was obvious that he was determined to win.

"Gao Si, do you want to..."

"I want to buy it, turn it into a national treasure, and donate it to the museum to fulfill Master Qi's wish."

Chen Mo nodded happily and said: "Okay! Gao Si is full of patriotism, I admire you!"

"As long as you can do me a small favor, Gao Si, I will give this painting to you, Gao Si!"

"What are you busy with?" Gao Mingyuan frowned.

Chen Mo told Gao Mingyuan about the land king and his plan.

However, Gao Mingyuan was silent for a long time, but unexpectedly shook his head:

"Mr. Chen, work is a matter of principle. I'm sorry that I can't help you."

"Please give me a price for this painting, 100 million, 200 million, 300 million, you say, I will never counter-offer!"

What Chen Mo wants is the piece of land!

What we want is the real estate market in the provincial capital!

"Gao Si, can't you be accommodating?" Chen Mo insisted.

Without Gao Mingyuan's help, Chen Mo's plan would not be possible, and the piece of land and the provincial capital's real estate market would have to be given away.

Gao Mingyuan shook his head firmly.

This gave Chen Mo a headache.

I have long heard that Gao Mingyuan is extremely principled in his work.

Who would have thought that being principled would lead to this!

Even the authentic paintings of the painting sage couldn't impress him!

no solution anymore……

Chen Mo only used his unique skills!

"Hahaha……"

Chen Mo laughed loudly, seemed very happy, and looked at Gao Mingyuan with a very satisfied look.

"Mr. Chen, why are you laughing?" Gao Mingyuan asked doubtfully.

"Patriotic, firm in stance, and principled, he is worthy of being the man that my White Dragon King likes!"

"It's not in vain that I'm here to help you overcome your calamity!"

Chen Mo looked at Gao Mingyuan with relief and nodded.

Gao Mingyuan: "???"

At this time, Gao Mingyuan looked confused.

Chen Mo handed the painting directly to Gao Mingyuan's hands and said:

"You are Lord Huode Xing who came to earth. In my previous life, I violated the laws of heaven and was executed by the Jade Emperor's order. It was you who sacrificed your life to plead for me."

"In this life, I come to you to repay my kindness."

"Gao Mingyuan, your hall is dark and your recovery is not going well. I predict that you will suffer a bloody disaster if you are killed by an official in the near future!"

"If you encounter trouble, please remember that the south is the place where my fortune, the White Dragon King, is shrouded. Run south, the lucky stars will shine, and you will be safe!"
