Shi Yueling nodded: "I bought it, Ying'er, bring me the banknote."
Ding Lanying paid the money, Shi Yueling took the painting and returned it to Guxiangju together with Lin Xiaodong.
After coming to the main room and sitting down again, Lin Xiaodong asked: "Ms. Shi, are you sure this is an authentic work?"
Shi Yueling nodded: "Even if it is not authentic, the paper is from that time, the paint is from that time, and the ink pad is old, the fake one is still real."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Boss Chen thinks that person is the one who switched the package. Please ask Miss Shi to take a closer look."
Shi Yueling had an idea and told Ding Lanying: "Ying'er, go get my seal."
Ding Lanying brought a seal.
Shi Yueling said: "It's my thing anyway, I'll stamp it." She left her own seal on the painting.
Lin Xiaodong said: "Miss Shi's brilliant idea. I'll leave now and come back tomorrow morning."
Shi Yueling hurriedly persuaded her to stay: "Taoist Master Lin, let's have a meal together!"
Lin Xiaodong said: "No, Miss Shi will come to my Yulou Mountain as a guest some other time."
Shi Yueling nodded: "Definitely."
On the morning of the second day, Shi Yueling took a look at the picture before washing up. She found that the seal was missing and the original had been replaced by a fake.
Ding Lanying was puzzled: "How could this happen?"
Shi Yueling was frightened for a while: "There are so many people in Jixiangju, how did he get in and out again?"
In the morning, Lin Xiaodong came to Jixiangju again, and Shi Yueling ran out with the picture: "It was indeed switched."
Lin Xiaodong saw that the seal was gone and asked Shi Yueling: "Are you okay?"
Shi Yueling shook her head: "I'm fine, but someone is clearly guarding Jixiangju. How did he get in?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I will know after I buy one myself."
Lin Xiaodong came to Houshi Street and Jiang Zhen was still there.
Jiang Zhen recognized Lin Xiaodong: "The Taoist priest is here again?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I want to hang a painting in the living room of Shanmen."
Jiang Zhendao: "What theme does the Taoist Master want to publish?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "It doesn't matter what the subject is, the main thing is that people must know that this thing is valuable at a glance."
Jiang Zhen smiled: "Taoist Master, you've come to the right place. I really have something good here." He took out a few pictures from under the pile of paintings and spread them out.
Jiang Zhendao: "This picture of wealth and auspiciousness, the picture of autumn colors on the east fence, and the picture of thrushes in red are all handmade by famous artists. They are things that are a hundred or two hundred years old and can be seen by a discerning person at a glance."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Which one is the most expensive?"
Jiang Zhen pointed to the picture of wealth and auspiciousness and said: "This is the most expensive, two hundred and forty taels."
Lin Xiaodong asked: "Why is this so expensive?"
Jiang Zhendao: "Taoist Priest, this is the work of Chen Qiluo of this dynasty. I guess it was painted for others when he was young. Chen Qiluo is the best at landscapes. That's why the peonies in this painting are cheaper. Otherwise, they would all be gone."
Can't reach my hand."
Lin Xiaodong asked again: "Is this an authentic work?"
Jiang Zhendao: "This is only a few decades old, and it is not Chen Qiluo's landscape. How can anyone make it fake?"
Lin Xiaodong nodded: "I bought it." He took the banknote and handed it to Jiang Zhen.
Jiang Zhen wrapped up the painting, gave it to Lin Xiaodong with both hands, bent down and saluted: "Taoist Master, go slowly."
Lin Xiaodong returned to Yulou Mountain.
In the middle of the night, a beam of golden light fell, and a man in black quietly climbed up the mountain.
Lin Xiaodong was waiting outside the mountain gate as early as possible and asked with a smile: "Who is coming to my Yulou Mountain in the middle of the night?"
The man in black looked bad and turned around to leave, but Lin Xiaodong came to him like a ghost and stopped him.
Lin Xiaodong shook the painting away: "Are you here to see this?"
The man in black threatened: "Get out of the way!"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin will take care of this matter."
The man in black slowly took off his mask. It was Jiang Zhen who asked, "Are you Lin Xiaodong?"
Lin Xiaodong snorted coldly: "You know me, but you dare to come to my mountain to steal things?"
Jiang Zhendao: "I don't want the painting anymore."
Lin Xiaodong said: "You are not allowed to do such things in the future."
Jiang Zhen's face turned cold: "You are too lenient in your control."
Lin Xiaodong spread his hands: "Lin has always been like this."
Jiang Zhen nodded: "I also want to see what the evil spirits who killed my comrades in Luhun County actually have!"
Lin Xiaodong unsheathed Ci Shen's sword: "Which sect and which sect? Tell me your name!"
Jiang Zhendao: "Jiang Zhen is the founder of the Qingqing Mountain Sect!" He struck with a sword.
Lin Xiaodong raised his sword to fight and fought with Jiang Zhen.
The two swords were raised side by side, circling back and forth, without realizing it, how could Jiang Zhen be his opponent?
Jiang Zhen took a step back and looked up and down: "You are about the same age as me, how can you get such power?"
Lin Xiaodong sneered and said: "You are all focused on cheating money, how can Daoxing rise?"
When Jiang Zhen heard this, he gnashed his teeth and glared angrily. He took the Nine Heaven Whip from his waist, threw it into the air, and struck Lin Xiaodong in the face with a golden light.
Lin Xiaodong raised his hand and flicked his sleeves, and the Awakening Bell flew away, whipping Jiutian to the ground.
Jiang Zhen's mouth twitched: "Sure enough, he has some skills."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Boss Shi and Mr. Chen, either refund the money or return the original work."
Jiang Zhen didn't answer and Hua Hong left.
One night passed, and in the morning, Lin Xiaodong came to Guxiangju again.
Shi Yueling and Ding Lanying came to pick her up.
Shi Yueling was overjoyed and bowed: "Taoist Master Lin."
Lin Xiaodong said: "Let me tell Miss Shi that Jiang Zhen came to my Yulou Mountain at midnight last night."
Ding Lanying said: "So, he really stole the painting?"
Shi Yueling asked: "How did he get in and out of my Guxiang Residence?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "It's just some escape techniques."
Shi Yueling asked: "Does Taoist Lin have such ability?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "Lin can go in and out through the wall as he pleases."
Shi Yueling smiled and said: "This method is used for trysts, but it is very convenient."
Lin Xiaodong said: "I had a fight with Jiang Zhen last night and asked him to either refund the money or return the painting. I think he may not listen to me. I will go back to find his teacher and come to Yulou Mountain to make a big fuss."
Shi Yueling heard this and said worriedly: "Taoist Master Lin must be careful."
Lin Xiaodong bowed his hands and said, "Don't worry, Miss Shi." He said goodbye and went back to the mountain.
At night, a beam of golden light fell, and Jiang Zhenguo brought his teacher Chen Xican, senior brothers Lu Changzhang, Zhang Lirui, and Yu Kang to Yulou Mountain.
Lu Changzhang shouted: "Lin Xiaodong? Come out and die!"
Lin Xiaodong walked out through the door.
Upon seeing these methods, only the teacher stood where he was, and all the disciples took a step back.
Lin Xiaodong glanced at Jiang Zhen and said, "What can you do if you find your teacher?"
Chen Xican said solemnly: "Chen Xican, the poor Taoist leader of Qingqingshan Shicheng Sect."
Lin Xiaodong bowed his hands and said with a chuckle: "Lin Xiaodong has a complete view of Yulou Mountain."
Chen Xican asked: "Why are you meddling in my apprentice's business?"
Lin Xiaodong asked back: "Your apprentice buys paintings, turns them around in the middle of the night, and defrauds people of their money. As a Taoist, I shouldn't have anything to do with it?"
Chen Xican said: "This is a matter of my Shicheng sect."
Lin Xiaodong tilted his head and said fiercely: "Then are you the head of the Shicheng sect?"
Lu Changzhang shouted: "Teacher, why bother talking to this person? Let's kill him today and avenge our colleagues in Luhun County!" Lin Xiaodong smiled grimly: "This excuse is really useful."
