"What's going on?" Two security guards walked in and asked the old man at the counter.
The old man explained the situation in a more eloquent manner, and the eyes of the two security guards immediately became serious.
"You two leave quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude." One of the security guards said coldly to Li Tianbao and Jiang Tianqi.
"You're not polite to us, what can you two do?" After Jiang Tianqi learned about his life experience, he naturally could not suppress others in the Bamboo Federation, but his proud character has never changed, and he also had two little security guards.
I will definitely not take it seriously.
"You're just looking for death." After hearing Jiang Tianqi's words, the security guard immediately pulled out the rubber stick from his waist and made a threatening appearance.
"Just the two of you are not enough for me to fill the gap between my teeth." Jiang Tianqi was naturally not afraid of the two of them. He didn't even look at them. He only waited for them to take action and then taught them a lesson.
"How come this boy, who has the same virtue as Wang Xiaoyu, has lost his temper after meeting me."
Li Tianbao looked at Jiang Tianqi and couldn't help but think of his other brother, Wang Xiaoyu. Although the two people were from different backgrounds, they had the same temper. Seeing that the other person criticized him even slightly, they would attack him.
"You two little bastards, you don't need me to do anything, just watch the excitement."
Li Tianbao stood in front of the counter, looking at the three people who were about to take action, with a relaxed smile on his face, presumably a good show was about to be staged. Just as Li Tianbao was thinking, the two security guards raised the rubber sticks in their hands.
He hit Jiang Tianqi.
Suddenly, there were bursts of wailing sounds in the room. If you think about it, you can understand that the two young security guards were no match for Jiang Tianqi. Within a few seconds, they were knocked to the ground by him, regardless of their fists or the soles of their shoes.
All that was left was to punch and kick those two people.
"You're welcome, you deserve to be beaten to death."
While Li Tianbao said this sarcastic remark, he looked at the old shopkeeper at the counter. At this time, his face had become a little distorted. He originally planned that the security guard could take care of him, but in the end he fell to the ground and wailed.
But it became the two of them.
"Old man, what do you think? Why don't you slap yourself in the mouth a few times, lest I do it?"
Li Tianbao is not only a ruthless gangster, but also an unyielding master when he has the advantage. He will not spare the old man lightly, but what he said just now was just to scare him, because Li Tianbao's target has been locked on the card on the counter.
On ancient paintings.
At this moment, a dozen security guards suddenly crowded at the door. Seeing that their companions were being beaten so brutally, each one of them was about to take action. Jiang Tianqi saw that there were so many people on the other side, so he had to retreat to Li Tianbao's side.
"No. There are so many people and they still want me to take action. I am a patient now."
Behind Li Tianbao, who was thinking about it, a woman's voice suddenly came from the door: "What happened here?" As soon as the voice reached Li Tianbao's ears, he immediately became excited.
"It's Cai Yufen."
Li Tianbao heard the familiar voice and turned to look over. Cai Yufen was at the door, dressed appropriately and looking surprisingly elegant. However, her charming eyes were covered by a pair of large sunglasses. Behind her were two people wearing headphones.
The men. Judging from the black suits, they are two professional bodyguards. They are as tall as door gods.
"Li Tianbao, why are you here?" Cai Yufen quickly saw Li Tianbao in the store, then took off her glasses and walked in with a smile.
Li Tianbao smiled and struck a cool pose, but he did not answer Cai Yufen's words. Instead, he asked, "How come Secretary Cai is here?" However, after saying this, the two people behind her
The bodyguards looked at each other.
"I'm here to buy a gift." Cai Yufen said with a smile.
"What a coincidence, I'm also here to buy a gift. I wonder who your gift is for?" The answer Li Tianbao wanted to hear most was naturally that it was for himself, but Cai Yufen shook her head and refused to say it.
"Then who is your gift for?" Cai Yufen asked Li Tianbao.
"Of course my gift is for..." Li Tianbao didn't finish his words, thinking, why should I say it if you don't say it, so he smiled at Cai Yufen and shook his head.
Cai Yufen relaxed her shoulders helplessly and began to ask Li Tianbao what happened.
"Hey, have you two chatted enough? Do you think we are idiots?" The security captain was tall and tall, wearing a suit. He looked at Li Tianbao and Cai Yufen chatting happily, and actually regarded his brothers as nothing.
How could this not make him angry?
"Watch your stupid mouth, you are an idiot in my eyes." Li Tianbao stepped forward without hesitation and glared at the security captain.
"I think you're looking for a fight." After the security captain's words, the people behind him who had been eager to try for a long time immediately stepped forward to take action. However, Cai Yufen, who had just said a few words to a bodyguard beside her, then walked out of the door.
"stop."
The bodyguard's words made the security captain temporarily stop, but his eyes were full of anger and contempt. Of course, this was mainly because there were so many people under his command.
The bodyguard was not talking, but glanced at Li Tianbao, whispered a few words into the security captain's ear, and then turned and left.
Only then did Li Tianbao realize that Cai Yufen had already left the door. He wanted to catch up but was blocked by a group of security guards. At this time, he could only solve the immediate matter first.
"Hey, what do you want to do? Just carve out a path. I will accompany you until the end."
After Li Tianbao finished speaking about his appeal, he realized that the security captain's eyes had changed from the ferocious look just now to the completely opposite look. He was like a cute puppy. He looked at Li Tianbao as if he were looking at his owner who was about to feed him.
There is no difference.
"Are you sick? You are looking at me like that." Li Tianbao naturally showed curiosity about the sudden change of the security captain.
"Mr. Li, brother was a little reckless just now. Please don't take it to heart. Don't take it to heart." Not only did the security captain's eyes change, but his tone of voice also made a 180-degree turn.
"Hey, this is really interesting." Li Tianbao thought of what Cai Yufen's bodyguard said to the security guard before leaving, and he immediately understood what was going on. He thought that the bodyguard had explained that she was Councilor Cai's secretary, and until now
Only then did he realize that a secretary could have such a powerful intimidation effect.
"Be good. If you are a dog, you should be good. Seeing that you have a good attitude in admitting your mistake, I will let you go. Go away."
"Okay, brothers, get out of here right now." After hearing Li Tianbao's words, the security captain immediately coaxed a group of confused security guards to exit the door. However, he just walked a few steps before turning around and walking back, passing by Li Tianbao.
While doing so, she did not forget to nod to him in a lowly manner, then came to the counter and whispered a few words to the old man, the shopkeeper, before turning around and leaving the shop.
"Brother Li, what's going on?" Jiang Tianqi couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the security captain's abnormal reaction.
After Li Tianbao finished talking about the matter, he quickly turned around, looked at the old shop owner with a wicked smile on his face, and said: "Old man, no one can help you now."
"Mr. Li, I made a mistake, please forgive me. I will apologize to you here." The old man said that when he comes, you will slap him or give him two mouths, and then continue to beat him.
"Okay, okay, stop fighting."
When Li Tianbao saw that the old man had relented, he suddenly couldn't bear it. After all, at such an old age, there are many ways to punish people, so there is no need to resort to corporal punishment.
"Thank you. Thank you Mr. Li for not fussing with me. I'll get it right away if you want to see it." The old man was so confused that he even forgot that Li Tianbao had a conflict with himself because he was looking at the ancient painting on the counter.
Li Tianbao did not speak, but pointed at the painting in front of the old man.
"Oh, that's it. I'm sorry for my poor memory, old man, but you're in charge."
After the old man finished speaking, he respectfully erased all the paintings for Li Tianbao to appreciate. Then he walked out of the counter and moved the wicker chairs on both sides of the coffee table behind Li Tianbao and Jiang Tianqi so that they could sit down when they were tired.
The attentive service is obvious to all.
Li Tianbao didn't have time to see what the old man was doing, but focused his attention on the ancient paintings. After a while, he felt a surge of power in his mind, and then his eyes revealed a transparent light that no one else could see and shone on the ancient paintings.
At that moment, a text introduction appeared in my mind.
After reading the text, Li Tianbao smiled happily.
"Brother Li, who painted this painting, and is it valuable?" Jiang Tianqi was a little anxious. The reason why he said he was anxious was because the painting was not available yet, so Li Tianbao naturally would not answer his question.
After Li Tianbao glared at Jiang Tianqi, he said to the old shopkeeper: "Where did you come from? Did you accept it?"
"As you said, I collected the items five minutes before you came in." The old man, the shopkeeper, replied truthfully.
"No wonder I always felt that this precious painting was moving. It turned out that it was not bought from time to time, but was brought here and sold to this old man." After thinking about it, Li Tianbao said to the old shop owner: "Old man, how much does this painting cost?
Make a price."
"What's the price?" When the old man heard Li Tianbao's inquiry, he suddenly paused, and then asked Li Tianbao: "How much you say is the price, I will listen to you."
"Are you kidding? If an old man does business like this, then he must be a fool." Li Tianbao was naturally a little puzzled. Of course, Jiang Tianqi beside him was also very confused, but he had learned the lesson just now and stopped talking.
"I said how much is how much, so how much do you want to sell this painting for?" Li Tianbao asked the old man who owned the shop.
"It's worth whatever you say it's worth." The old man's words had exactly the same meaning as his previous words, which made Li Tianbao frown suddenly and said: "How can you sell something like this in the world? Do I say a piece of it?"
Will you also sell me the money?"
"One dollar, okay, deal, I'll wrap it up for you right now."
When the old shopkeeper heard that Li Tianbao offered a price of one yuan, he started to roll up the ancient painting with great pleasure, and respectfully handed it to Li Tianbao with both hands.
"Old man, are you making fun of me?" Li Tianbao really couldn't think of any reason for the old man, the shop owner, to behave like this.
"Don't say that. I am sincerely doing business with you, and I also want to form a lifelong friendship with you, as long as you don't dislike me, old man." The old man still looked happy and drew the picture.
He handed it to the chain handle again.
"One dollar, it's so cheap, I'll pay." Jiang Tianqi couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so he took out a dollar coin on his own initiative and threw it on the counter, then reached out and took the painting for Li Tianbao.
Li Tianbao did not stop Jiang Tianqi, because he would buy it at any price, but the old man's abnormal behavior was definitely not as simple as making friends.
"Old man, do you know the price of this painting's provenance?" Li Tianbao suddenly asked the old shopkeeper.
"Of course I know that."
If Li Tianbao asked the old man why he sold the painting to him for one yuan, he would definitely say that it was to make friends, but when asked about professional knowledge, as an antique person, he would never say he didn't know even though he knew it.
, even a stickman will tell you how he knows his stuff.
"Then tell me the origin of this painting." Li Tianbao asked the old man.
When the old man heard Li Tianbao's question, Xu Ran once again showed a proud look while twisting his hands, and began to tell the origin of the ancient painting.
The old man's words were completely consistent with the information Li Tianbao had learned. It seemed that he was also an expert in antiques.
It turned out that the painting Li Tianbao received was from Wu Daozi, and it was his masterpiece.
Wu Daozi was born in the era of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. He died in the era of Emperor Suzong of the Tang Dynasty, that is, around 758 AD. Wu Daozi, whose parents died when he was young, lived a very poor life. He also had to study with folk painters and carving masters to survive.
Wu Daozi, who was still young, soon showed his talent due to his hard work and studiousness, and he was already famous at the age of twenty.
Wu Daozi then placed himself under the tutelage of calligraphy masters Zhang Xu and He Zhizhang. He wanted to learn calligraphy, but he failed. Later, Tu Daozi became angry and switched to painting. There is a saying that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession. Perhaps it refers to Wu Daozi.
Daozi, after switching to painting, he gradually mastered the wonderful method of painting. In addition, he was diligent and studious, and when he was still young, he had "exhausted the beauty of painting".
Not long after, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty called him into the palace as a court painter and renamed him Daoxuan. Wu Daozi became a royal painter. He could not paint without the emperor's order. Despite this, he got a superior life.
Conditions, no need to wander around.
Later, Wu Daozi served as a lieutenant in Xiaqiu County. He resigned from his position soon after and went to Luoyang to start his own painting career.
People in Taoism even call him "Wu Daozhenjun" and "Wu Zhenren". Su Dongpo said in the article "Book of Wu Daozi Paintings": "As for poetry, it is Du Zimei (that is, Du Fu), and for literature, it is Han Tuizhi (speaking of
Han Yu), wrote to Yan Lugong (that is, Yan Zhenqing), painted to Wu Daozi, and the changes in ancient and modern times will be completed in the world!"
Wu Daozi once painted more than 300 murals in temples in Chang'an and Luoyang, with strange shapes and no similarities. Among them, "Hell in Disguise" is especially famous throughout the world, and everyone who has seen it calls it a wonderful painting.
Speaking of Wu Daozi's paintings, he has a unique style, and he has revolutionary innovations in landscape paintings. The characters he painted have flowing pleats and strong lines, which are called water shield strips. They have the style of flying clothes and covering the wall.
The dynamic effect is known as "Wu Dai Dangfeng".
Wu Daozi's burnt ink lines are lightly colored, known as Wu Zhuang in the world. His painting lines are very concise. It is said that "the brush strokes are only one or two, and the images should be done", which is called sparse style. His paintings have a great influence on later generations.
This can be seen from the fact that later generations respected him as the "Sage of Painting".
Folk painters even praised Wu Daozi as the founder, and Su Shi once praised Wu Daozi's art as "creating new ideas in the law, and conveying wonderful principles in boldness".
There are no authentic works of Wu Daozi's paintings handed down from generation to generation. The "Picture of the Heavenly King Sending His Son", "Baoji Bingala Buddha Statue" and "Daozi Ink Treasure" passed down to this day, as well as the Vimalakirti Sutra in Cave 103 of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes have also been
I think it is the embodiment of Wu Daozi's style.
It is said that Wu Daozi had an unusually bold personality and his favorite thing was to paint while drunk. It is said that when he painted the round light on the top of the Buddha's head in the mural, he did it without a ruler or compass. When he was painting in Longxing Temple, the viewers were packed with people.
.
Wu Daozi painted very quickly, some people described it as like a whirlwind, and he always finished his paintings in one go. Chang'an, the capital at that time, was the cultural center of China, where many famous scholars, calligraphers and painters gathered together. Wu Daozi often stayed with these people and interacted with each other.
Promote and improve skills.
"That's very good, but I wonder if you know some of Wu Daozi's interesting stories?" Li Tianbao asked the old shopkeeper.
"How do I know this?" the old shop owner said to me, telling a story about Wu Daozi.
His story is that there was a man named Wu Daozi. He lost his parents when he was young, so he had to leave his hometown and go out to make a living. One evening, when Wu Daozi was passing outside Dingzhou City, Hebei Province, he suddenly found a majestic temple "Berlin Temple" in front of him.
So he walked in.
Wu Daozi walked into the courtyard. Through the gap in the ajar door of the main hall, he saw an old monk under an oil lamp, concentrating on painting on the wall of the hall.
Wu Daozi was very curious, so he quietly opened the door, walked in gently, and stood behind the old monk to look at the paintings.
When the old monk turned around, he found a teenage boy who was so absorbed in watching him paint a mural. He was so happy that he asked Wu Daozi: "Baby, do you like this painting?"
Wu Daozi nodded after hearing this. When the old monk learned about his life experience, he stroked his head and said, "If you are willing to learn painting, just become my apprentice." Wu Daozi was grateful after hearing this.
Busy kowtow and perform the apprenticeship ceremony.
One morning, the old monk took Wu Daozi to the back hall, pointed to the white wall and said: "I want to draw a picture of "Rivers and Seas" on this empty wall. I have painted it many times but it still doesn't look like real water and waves. Tomorrow
I will take you to travel around rivers and lakes in various places for three years, and I will paint again after you come back."
Early the next morning, Wu Daozi packed his luggage and set off with the old monk. Wherever he went, the old monk urged Wu Daozi to practice painting water. At first, he was serious about it, but as the days went by, and his little
At this age, he loves to play, so Wu Daozi felt a little bored, and his interest in learning painting was no longer as serious as before.
After seeing the clues, the old monk called Wu Daozi to his side and said to him: "My child, if you want to draw the momentum of the rivers, lakes and seas, it requires extraordinary skill. It is absolutely impossible without hard work, let alone
Just draw a drop of water, a spray of water." (To be continued...)
