Chapter 1167

"Seeing the material and painting time, it is of no use to crack the seal, right?"

The bronze mask frowned, interrupting Zhang Xuan.

"It has no direct effect, but based on this, we can infer the cause of the painting, analyze why the other party left the seal, and the shortcomings and loopholes of the seal."

Zhang Xuan smiled lightly.

"Based on the age of the painting alone, we can infer the lack and loopholes of the seal... This is a bit arrogant!" The tail curled up, and Zhang Jiuxiao on one side raised his head. Because he spoke too hard, the durian on his head trembled wildly , seems to fall at any moment.

Although everyone didn't speak, they agreed with his point of view. The age of the painting, if you look at it carefully, and the exact year, at most it can show that you have a strong ability to appreciate treasures, but what does it have to do with the seal?

"Just because you don't understand, doesn't mean I can't see it!"

With a chuckle, Zhang Xuan's body was straight and his face was full of confidence. He walked around the painting and calligraphy, and suddenly looked at the president of the Calligrapher and Painter Guild not far away: "This must be the president of the Calligrapher and Painter Guild." !"

"Under Mengchong, I am the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Artists Guild!"

Chairman Meng Chong stood up and clasped his fists.

"President Meng, I would like to trouble you to tell everyone, 2,140 years ago, what kind of painting style was spread by our Qingyuan Empire Calligrapher's Association? What kind of brush and ink are you good at?"

Zhang Xuan said.

"This……"

Dazed for a moment, President Mengchong thought for a moment, and said: "More than 2,100 years ago in the Qingyuan Empire, the [solid-plate painting method] was popular! That is to say, it is the same as printing and publishing. format, specific size, fixed layer by layer. This kind of painting method usually first puts a layer of ink on the paper, and then paints layer by layer. Each layer strives to be perfect without any mistakes. …This way, although it seems cumbersome, it can make the painting neat and free of mistakes!"

Calligraphy and painting, like cultivation, will be updated with the passage of time. Every era will have obvious traces, which are completely different from other eras.

Because of this, the appraiser can successfully identify the age of the treasure without deviation.

Solid plate painting flourished between 2,000 and 2,500 years ago, and has been widely spread, among which the most influential one is the old man without sorrow.

Therefore, as soon as everyone sees the work, they will know that this person left it.

"That's right, it's a fixed plate painting method!"

Hearing the other party's explanation was very detailed, Zhang Xuan nodded: "This method of painting can make the work extremely neat, just like printing, but it also has a big flaw...that is, all inks must be used in the same amount, and the entire painting Flatness is like cutting with a knife, otherwise...you will be ridiculed by others, deviant, and the level is too poor..."

Zhang Xuan smiled: "Look at this painting, regardless of the landscape, the surrounding sky, flowers and plants, they all use the same thickness..."

Everyone looked at it in unison, their consciousness agitated.

After a while, they all nodded.

indeed so.

If the other party didn't say it, I really didn't see it.

"So what if it's flat?" The bronze mask snorted, "I just need to crack the seal!"

"Don't worry, listen to me, if you want to break the seal, you must know this!"

Zhang Xuan continued: "As I said just now, this painting was finished in two years, with a gap of 30 years! In other words, 30 years ago, the painting was complete, and the picture must be flat... …Thirty years later, this old man without sorrow intentionally added white clouds on top to cover up something! Now that the ink has been added, the thickness must be different, so if you look at the position of the white clouds now, can you see anything?"

Everyone looked in Baiyun's direction again, and in the blink of an eye, they all frowned.

"It seems to be equally flat..."

"No change?"

The voice rang out.

The picture at Baiyun is as smooth as other places, and there is no problem at all.

"It seems that, needless to say, everyone can see that it is flat! It also means that...he not only added ink on it,

Also cut off a layer of the original pattern! "Zhang Xuan nodded.

"This..." Everyone's eyes widened, and they couldn't believe it.

"Cutting off the original painting, and then repainting a different one, this... how could it be done?" Meng Chong, the president of the Painting and Calligraphy Association, couldn't help but ask.

As a seven-star peak calligrapher, I know the difficulty.

No matter what kind of material the scroll is made of, once the ink is stained, it will seep into it, scrape off a layer, and repaint a different pattern... Can it really be done?

"It's very difficult, but... what if you use [Void Book]?" Zhang Xuan said.

"Use the Void Book? Then... it will fall!"

Chairman Meng Chong continued.

Void facing the book is equivalent to painting in the air. It cannot be merged with the painting itself. As long as it is moved, the two will definitely be separated... How can it be the same as now, the fusion is perfect?

"This is the same as what Zhang Jiuxiao and Master Zhang said. A special spirituality is added in the middle. If you compare Baiyun and the previous painting to two sheets of paper... this spirituality is the glue that allows them to blend perfectly without interfering with each other! "Zhang Xuan nodded.

"I see……"

Everyone suddenly realized.

Before Zhang Jiuxiao said that there is spirituality in the seal, everyone was a little puzzled. After listening to the explanation, they realized that this was the case.

"After all, isn't it the same result as mine?" Zhang Jiuxiao pouted.

I thought this guy could come up with some amazing theory, but the result went around, and the conclusion was the same as he got.

"It's not the same!" Zhang Xuan shook his head: "You know that there is spirituality mixed between the two paintings, but do you know why this happens, and how to get rid of it?"

"I……"

His face turned red, and Zhang Jiuxiao was speechless.

The reason why he knew this was because in his family, he had personally seen someone crack similar works... As for why he did this and how to crack it, he didn't know.

To be honest, if you really want to know, you won’t have durians on your head and thick and long tails.

"Spirituality fuses two paintings and plays a fixed role. According to the normal situation, it is difficult to separate them by any means. If you do it forcibly, the two paintings will be scrapped... It's like planning to glue them together for thousands of years. The two pieces of paper are the same, even if it succeeds, are you sure that the painting below can still be recognized?"

Ignore this self-righteous son, Zhang Xuan said.

"This……"

With a twitch of his face, the bronze mask no longer had the arrogant attitude just now, but fell silent.

His purpose is to see what is sealed underneath. If they are forcibly separated, the ones below will not be seen, and the ones above will be destroyed... It is definitely not worth the candle.

"I don't know Master Zhang, but is there a way to ensure that there will be no problems below?"

After hesitating for a moment, I looked over.

The person in front of me can speak in such detail and explain it well, maybe... he can accomplish what others find it difficult to do.

"I can say so much, so I am sure!"

With a slight smile, Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Oh? Please enlighten me..."

His eyes lit up, and the bronze mask quickly clasped his fists.

"It's easy!"

Nodding his head, Zhang Xuan said: "If he uses other things to fuse, it will be very difficult to complete, but...it is easier to use spirituality! The spirituality of fusing two paintings, like the spirituality of plants, will only grow in a specific way Or to operate, the purpose is to complete certain tasks, and it has no self-awareness! Chairman Ruan must be very clear about this."

"Ok!"

Chairman Ruan nodded.

Many plants are also spiritual, controlling the absorption of nutrients and growing themselves...but they don't have their own ideas like the spirituality of animals, running around, seeking good luck and avoiding evil.

"The task of this spirituality is to fuse the two paintings together, and they will never be separated. If... I can make it into an animal spirit, with its own intelligence, do you think... will it continue to merge? ?”

Zhang Xuan laughed.

"This……"

"If this spirituality has spiritual wisdom, the white clouds on the painting will be like having malignant sores on the body. It is extremely uncomfortable, and it will definitely fall off!"

"That's true, it's just that... I'm afraid it's not easy to give this spiritual enlightenment?"

"I don't know about that..."

...

Everyone's eyes lit up, and at the same time, their eyes were puzzled.

It is easy to enlighten a weapon, but it is not so simple to enlighten this kind of spirituality that has been silent for thousands of years, so that it has spiritual wisdom!

"This method of spiritual enlightenment is not easy, but... I just happened to be able to do it!"

Zhang Xuan laughed.

"I also ask Master Zhang to help... If it can be completed, I will definitely give you a generous gift..."

The bronze mask bowed.

Before, he looked down on everyone, and felt that everyone in the Qingyuan Empire had a vain reputation. After listening to the analysis of Master Zhang in front of him, he was overwhelmed with admiration.

Being able to find out the crux of the problem in such a short period of time and really find out a solution, regardless of vision or insight, is far beyond everyone.

"Don't worry, even if I can do it, in order to ensure that the two paintings are not damaged, I have to confirm some things first..."

Zhang Xuan said.

"Yes!" The bronze mask nodded: "I don't know what Master Zhang needs, but I will find a way to satisfy whatever I ask for..."

It's easy to explain, but it must be difficult to actually do it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten this thing for so long, and there is no way to solve it.

"Not needed yet!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head, paused for a moment, flipped his wrist, and took out a brush: "This painting is a whole, if you want to enlighten the spirit, you must destroy the artistic conception of the painting, or open a gap to let consciousness enter it, If you do this, it will damage the painting, please forgive me!"

"No problem!" The bronze mask nodded.

What he wanted was the thing under the seal. Even if the painting was precious, if he could really see what was underneath, it would be worth it.

"That's good……"

Heaved a sigh of relief, holding the brush in his hand, Zhang Xuan was about to dip in the ink, when he suddenly frowned, looked at Zhang Jiuxiao who was not far away, and scolded.

"Returning to a seven-star master teacher, why don't you have any sharp eyesight? Why don't you come over and study ink!"
