Chapter 1058, 1059 Shocking the past and shining today, the best post in the world
"Preface to the Lanting Collection" is probably this scroll.
The reason why it is possible is that Li Yang is not completely sure that this is a calligraphy work, and the content is almost similar to the Lanting Preface, but this calligraphy is incomplete.
Under the three-dimensional screen, Li Yang has seen all the contents of this scroll.
The words inside were rolled together, and it looked a bit difficult. Li Yang had to perform a reduction analysis in three dimensions before he could see the entire content clearly.
This piece of calligraphy has more than 300 words in total. There are many gaps between these words, which makes the reading of "Lanting Preface" very difficult.
These gaps are exactly the space for a word, as if someone had dug them out deliberately.
This is what Li Yang feels is incomplete. It is an incomplete preface to Lanting, but Li Yang does not want it to be authentic.
If so, it means that a well-imitated work is damaged, which only makes people feel a little distressed. But if this "best running script in the world" is damaged, I am afraid that the entire domestic calligraphy community will cry bitterly.
Such works belong to the wealth of all China.
Zhao Kui and Haidong carefully put the coffin lid aside. There were some sinks at their feet, with a layer of gray stuff flowing in them. Ma Liang had already identified the liquid inside as mercury.
The Dali Emperor probably also wanted to build a mercury bank in his tomb, but unfortunately his method was a little wrong. The mercury has changed over the years.
After Ma Liang's identification, the mercury is currently very toxic and must not be touched with bare hands, so everyone should be careful.
Liu Gang was looking at Li Yang, and Sandara was doing the same. After hesitating for a moment, Li Yang slowly walked towards the crystal coffin.
Regardless of whether this "Lanting Preface" is true or false, you must open it and take a look.
"Brother Li, can I take it out for you?"
Zhao Kui suddenly said something, and he extended his finger to point to the scroll in the crystal coffin. They had seen the contents of the secret letter in Lu Ming's copybook and knew what Li Yang was talking about.
The Preface to the Orchid Pavilion of the World's Best Running Script. Even people who don't know anything about antiques have heard of this masterpiece. It is a treasure that has not been heard of for thousands of years. It is a pride to be the first to pick it up.
Liu Gang was the first to come into contact with Sui Houzhu just now, which made Zhao Kui feel very itchy, so he hurriedly jumped out this time.
Li Yang hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and said: "Be careful, just take it out, don't open it in a hurry!"
Calligraphy works are different from other things. After being placed for so many years, they can be easily damaged if you are not careful when taking them out.
"yes!"
Zhao Kui nodded excitedly and smiled proudly at Haidong next to him. Then he put on clean white gloves and carefully went into the coffin to get the scroll.
The white gloves were prepared before they entered the mountain. Liu Gang also wore gloves when he took the Sui Hou Pearl.
Zhao Kui carefully picked up the scroll. Li Yang had been observing the process with his special ability. After seeing Zhao Kui take out the entire scroll, he nodded silently.
The mounting material of this calligraphy scroll is different from that of ordinary scrolls. It has been placed for so many years and it is still the same as before without any changes. Zhao Kui will not damage the scroll as long as he does not use rough force.
However, this also made Li Yang's heart sink. Li Yang had never seen such a special material before, and he couldn't even identify what kind of material it was.
This is not the time when Li Yang just debuted. He has been to the Forbidden City several times. He used his special abilities to observe many collections in the Forbidden City. He also visited many museums in many places. Even if he didn't look carefully, he just glanced at them.
There are already many, many things.
It can also be said that the number of genuine treasures he has seen is unmatched by other experts.
Now Li Yang can't distinguish the material, but he can feel that it is an excellent and high-quality material. This only shows that this work is not simple, and it is very likely to be authentic.
When he thought of the genuine product being damaged, Li Yang's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up and feel a faint sting.
"Brother Li!"
Zhao Kui didn't know this. He was excited, holding the scroll in both hands, and walked directly to Li Yang.
Haidong and Li Er looked at Zhao Kui enviously. They all knew the meaning of this scroll. Only Ma Liang and the two later didn't quite understand it and had some doubts in their eyes.
"Mr. Li, what is this?"
Sandara asked in a low voice. There were many treasures in the coffin, including gold, silver and jade articles, and there were many burial objects around. Li Yang and the others did not look at these things. Instead, they all focused on an inconspicuous scroll.
, Sandara has long been curious.
Now that the scroll was in Li Yang's hands, he couldn't help but ask.
"This may be a treasure that is very important to our Chinese civilization!"
Li Yang stroked the scroll and sighed softly. He had a hunch in his heart that this "Lanting Preface" was most likely to be true.
If it is authentic, or the one written by the sage Wang Xizhi for the first time, it is definitely an irreparable loss and a loss that makes the world extremely heartbroken.
Sandara nodded gently. Li Yang did not explain in detail, but he already named the importance of this treasure.
This is enough for him. It doesn't matter what it is. Sandara's understanding of ancient Chinese culture is limited. After all, he is a foreigner and there are many things he doesn't understand.
But if Li Yang named it, he would also know that Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Preface" is a treasure known all over the world.
"Brother Li, would you like to open it and take a look?"
Liu Gang said again that he was a little regretful that Zhao Kui had taken the lead this time, but more importantly, he was looking forward to this calligraphy scroll.
The world's best practitioner of law, and even the world's best writer, is the most proud work of the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi. The calligraphy sage was a master of his generation, and his reputation is much more famous than the current Li Yangyusheng.
This is the best work of the Calligrapher. It must be a masterpiece. Not only Liu Gang, but also Zhao Yong also have expectations in their hearts.
"Wait a minute!"
Li Yang waved his hand gently, his face looked very ugly, and the smile on Liu Gang's face slowly disappeared. Zhao Kui and Zhao Yong also came over and looked at Li Yang with some worry.
Under the three-dimensional picture, the missing words on the scroll are now so obvious. These places without words are like sledgehammers, constantly hammering Li Yang's heart.
It's heartbreaking that such a treasure has been damaged. Li Yang doesn't know who did it. If he knew, he would dare to snatch the gun from Liu Gang's hand and shoot him.
Li Yang is still relatively young and has only been in the antique circle for two short years. He already feels so heartbroken. I really don't know how Mr. He and the others will react after seeing this calligraphy.
Li Yang now even has an idea to hide this calligraphy and not take it back at all.
But this idea was immediately thrown aside by Li Yang. This was impossible. The old man would definitely ask Liu Gang. Even if Li Yang explained it in advance, Liu Gang would not be able to hide this from the old man.
After all, Liu Gang was Mr. He's bodyguard. He refused to answer questions and deliberately concealed them. This was a serious violation of discipline.
As a soldier, it is your duty to obey orders.
This is a little different from Zhao Yong and the others. Zhao Yong and the others have retired from the army. They are Li Yang's privately hired bodyguards and can keep any secrets without any obstacles.
"Brother Li, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Gang asked in a low voice and did not mention opening the scroll. Sundara on the side also looked worried.
At this time, Li Yang's face was really ugly and pale, and he looked very scary. Zhao Yong began to think about whether to take Li Yang out of this deep underground tomb first.
"I'm fine!"
Li Yang shook his head, still stroking the scroll in front of him, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
The three-dimensional picture was still on, and he carefully observed the missing places. He had discovered these before, but he had never looked at them so carefully like now.
"wrong!"
Li Yang screamed fiercely in his heart, and his brows knitted together tightly.
This observation allowed Li Yang to discover problems that he had ignored before.
It was not that there was nothing on these gaps, there were some faint traces. Before, Li Yang thought they were residual traces after the words were dug out, but after taking a closer look this time, Li Yang discovered that this was not the case.
These marks do not seem to be left by damage, but more like natural occurrences.
Before, Li Yang had been thinking about what to do if the treasure was damaged, but he didn't take a closer look to see how it was damaged. At that time, he was not in the mood at all.
Now that he looked carefully, he discovered the problem.
Discovering this made Li Yang's heart beat loudly. There was no sign of damage, which meant that there was probably nothing wrong with the calligraphy. If so, it would definitely be great news for Li Yang.
.
This also gave Li Yang a little hope.
There is still hope for this. After all, what he saw before was all under his special ability. Special ability is more intuitive and clearer than what can be seen with the naked eye, but it is not omnipotent and some things cannot be seen.
For example, the white light of Sui Houzhu, the inscription on Zhanlu Sword, and the appearance of Wu Daozi's water painting.
Especially for water paintings, maybe the characters in this painting are the same as that painting and will only appear under special circumstances. This gives Li Yang a hope, a great hope.
"Open it, but I'll do it myself!"
Li Yang suddenly said something. This time he was no longer stroking the surface of the scroll, but directly took the entire scroll.
He also wore white gloves on his hands.
Liu Gang and the others were a little confused, and Li Yang's attitude changed a little quickly, making them confused.
However, no one objected to Li Yang's request. Liu Gang was just a little regretful that he was not the first person to open this "world's best running script".
Li Yang tried hard to control his hands, took a deep breath, and then decisively opened the entire scroll.
Zhao Kui and Haidong raised the lid of the crystal coffin to temporarily place this inscription. Anyway, there were no dead people in the crystal coffin, and everyone stood here without any psychological burden.
As the entire text opened, Li Yang's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his mouth opened wider and wider.
In Li Yang's eyes, there was a deep surprise.
"This, what is this?"
Sandara's mouth opened wider and he looked at everything in front of him blankly. His look was even more exaggerated than when he saw Sui Houzhu just now.
The others were not much better than him. The soldiers of Sandara all looked dull. Even Zhao Yong was stunned at this moment.
The scroll opened, revealing the true face of Lushan inside.
This is indeed the preface to Lanting. It begins with a few soul-stirring words. Even those soldiers of the Sandara family who did not know ancient Chinese characters at all felt the domineering power contained in these words.
But for them, it was not these words that shocked them the most.
Instead, between the lines, there was a faintly golden strange character. There were many such strange characters, and each one was different. These soldiers almost subconsciously saw the first strange character.
Actually, this word is not strange, it’s just that they don’t recognize it.
Liu Gang, Zhao Yong, and Zhao Kui were all looking at the words in front of them. They were also looking at the words that the Sandara family soldiers thought were strange.
This word is ‘zhi’.
The first "Zhi" appears at the beginning of the eleventh word. The top point of this "Zhi" is particularly powerful and the brightest. Looking at this word, they seem to be in a stream and river.
Next to it, there are beautiful people all around. They are holding wine glasses and talking.
There was no need for anyone to translate or explain. These soldiers, who did not know ancient Chinese characters, seemed to understand the meaning of the previous sentences.
Moreover, everyone's understanding is different. They can imagine it, but they cannot describe it in words.
Everyone stared at the first 'zig', and everyone experienced the shocking difference.
Liu Gang, Zhao Yong and the others felt different from these soldiers.
They all recognize this word, and they recognize it very clearly. Not only this word, they also recognize most of the previous words and understand the meaning inside.
Their feelings are deeper than those of these soldiers.
This word "Zig" seemed to be pulling them soaring among the clouds and mist. Under their feet were black dragons. These black dragons were surprisingly the other words in these three paragraphs.
It's the transformation of those words, stroke by stroke.
The black dragon only appeared for a while, and they felt something different again. They seemed to see that their heads were no longer the top of the tomb, but turned into a bright sky.
Stars gathered in the sky, and the round moon shone brightly in the sky.
Zhao Yong suddenly bit his tongue. They had been absentminded for too long, much longer than when they saw Sui Houzhu just now. After Zhao Yong woke up, he immediately looked around cautiously.
Everyone was immersed in the calligraphy in front of them just now. If someone came in, they would be doomed.
After Zhao Yong woke up, Liu Gang, Zhao Kui and others also woke up, and everyone's face was still full of shock. In fact, they were not absent-minded for a long time, only more than a minute, but in this short time, for
It was an unforgivable mistake for them.
Zhao Yong lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly. He strongly resisted the desire in his heart and did not dare to look up.
He was afraid that after watching it, the same situation would happen again.
Zhao Yong suddenly walked out, and after walking several meters, the strong desire in his heart finally eased a little, which also allowed him to take a breath and stand at a distance, cautiously alert.
Haidong also followed his example and walked aside. Liu Gang hesitated for a moment, then finally shook his head with a wry smile and stood next to Li Yang.
Liu Gang did not dare to look at this calligraphy work casually.
However, he was still recalling the shock just now. For the first time, this was the first time that Liu Gang fully felt the charm of calligraphy. Even if he didn't understand calligraphy at all, he really felt the charm of this painting.
The majestic artistic conception in the work.
The number one calligraphy calligraphy in the world is well deserved.
He only read the first dozen words. He really didn't dare to read the following words. If he wanted to read them, he couldn't read them here. He had to change the environment and change the place.
Li Yang was also looking at the calligraphy, and he was even more surprised.
What he saw was also the first character 'Zig', and his feeling was a little different from everyone else's. This character 'Zig' seemed to be alive. Li Yang not only felt the bright moon in the sky, but also seemed to smell a smell of fine wine.
of fragrance.
This word was exactly what he couldn't see before with his special ability.
This was also a place that Li Yang mistakenly thought was damaged. Under the three-dimensional screen, the character "Zig" was really not seen, and at this time in front of everyone, this character appeared very different from other characters.
Li Yang woke up earlier than Zhao Yong. He already understood that the calligraphy was not what he imagined. He was careless and made a fool of himself.
The three-dimensional images are invisible, but that does not mean they are defective. On the contrary, these are the real connotations of calligraphy copybooks.
There were a total of twenty-one places that Li Yang considered to be 'defects'. Twenty-one words appeared in these twenty-one places, and each word was 'of'.
Sandara also woke up, but he couldn't help it and continued to look down.
Even if it was a word he didn't understand, he read along, and immediately he saw the second character "Zig".
This word made him pause for a moment, his eyes seemed a little blurred, and the corners of his mouth quietly raised, looking very satisfied.
Sandara felt that he was drinking under a pavilion. There were several people around him, but these people were very vague. They looked like people at one moment, and looked like a few ancient Chinese characters at another.
Li Yang is also looking down. Unlike Sundara, Li Yang can still control himself and truly appreciate the magic of this calligraphy.
Sandara simply looked at the golden zigzag character and felt the artistic conception inside. The same was true for the soldiers behind Sandara. They failed to control themselves like Zhao Yong and were looking down word by word.
.
"The most expensive products in Yue are the best in ancient and modern times!"
Li Yang said something very softly. No one around him heard what he said. Everyone was fascinated by the calligraphy work in front of them.
Li Yang was also sighing in his heart, no wonder the ancients dared to say that this is the best calligraphy post in the world that no one can compare with in ancient and modern times. Just one look at it will make you unable to extricate yourself. Such calligraphy is definitely a masterpiece that cannot be copied.
It is a work that is better than the pinnacle work and should not appear in the world at all.
It is no wonder that Wang Xizhi himself could not write the original "Lanting Preface" when he later wrote it. He could only keep this calligraphy as his most beloved treasure and pass it down as a family heirloom.
In the end, Li Shimin obtained this calligraphy through deception.
At this time, Li Yang finally understood that Li Shiming was an enlightened emperor, but he couldn't resist the temptation of a single word. Seeing such a word, any emperor would probably be like Li Shimin.
It is not easy for the Wang family to survive for several generations.
This calligraphy was said to be buried with Li Shimin, but was later stolen and fell into the hands of Wu Zetian.
Wu Zetian also made the same decision as Li Shimin. Even if she dies, this calligraphy must be taken to the ground together and cannot fall into the hands of others.
However, Wu Zetian definitely failed to achieve her wish. It is estimated that anyone who has seen this calligraphy cannot bear to have it buried underground all year round.
Unfortunately, this happened in the end. Emperor Duan Zhixiang of Dali did not know how he got this divine work, and he had the same idea as Li Shiming and Wu Zetian, and he was buried with him.
He was different from the two emperors in that he prepared the tomb in advance and finally brought the calligraphy underground.
The position of this calligraphy is next to the head of the coffin, which is a close-fitting position. From this point, we can also see how much the Dali emperor loved this calligraphy. There are so many funerary objects in this tomb. This is
The only scroll that went into the coffin.
Duan Zhixiang was lucky, he got this unique painting of the ages, but he was also unlucky.
He put the baby in the coffin in advance, but in the end he couldn't sleep in it, and let the words lie in the coffin for nearly a thousand years.
All this can only be said to be the fate of people and the arrangement of fate.
This calligraphy is also considered to be destined to Li Yang, and it was finally reborn in Li Yang's hands.
Li Yang took a deep breath and continued to read. He looked at every word carefully. Every word in this book gave people a shocking feeling, which was definitely not something that could be felt in a three-dimensional picture.
Under the three-dimensional picture, the ink on the calligraphy can be seen and analyzed thoroughly, and the feeling is greatly reduced.
Looking at each word, Li Yang seemed to have returned to more than a thousand years ago, to that happy place, where a group of people were holding wine glasses by the stream and drinking wine.
Reading slowly, Li Yang finally saw the third word "Zhi". When he saw this word, Li Yang was shocked.
This word brings out an unimaginable majestic atmosphere. Under this word, everyone feels that they are extremely insignificant, like a speck of dust in the universe, floating around pitifully.
Sandara was also reading this word at this moment. He felt it even more deeply than Li Yang. He was often scheming and was too mentally and physically tired to develop his family, and his body even trembled a little.
A trace of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. If he hadn't been controlled by force, he might have fled.
After a while, Sandara wiped his sweat and continued to look down. He saw the fourth zigzag and the fifth zigzag.
These two words didn't shock him as much as before, but they made him feel sad.
Some of the faces of the soldiers behind him began to show sadness. Everyone had different thoughts, thoughts, and feelings, but their moods at this time were exactly the same.
These are all brought about by a calligraphy work.
