Chapter two hundred and twenty fifth painting and taking medicine
The conversation on the plane made Qiao Meng feel very painful, but he knew that he could not be defeated by these emotions now. What they needed was unity and trust. If they lost these, it would be equivalent to falling into the enemy's trap.
In this way, the three of them returned to a normal relationship. Since their opponent wanted to give them power, they had to find a way to get it back this time.
After getting off the plane, the three of them immediately went to the hospital. At this time, Ge Yuling was accompanying them, and even Li Tianyuan was taking care of them in the ward, fearing that something unexpected would happen again.
Qiao Meng, who came to the scene, immediately comforted her: "Sister Yuling, don't be afraid that I'm back."
"Qiao Meng, why are you really back? Aren't you going to compete?" Ge Yuling felt comforted after seeing Qiao Meng, but she was worried that he was impulsive and made the wrong decision.
"It's okay. We need to resolve the master's matter first, and don't you need me too? I have already agreed with the master about the competition." Qiao Meng said softly.
After saying that, Qiao Meng asked Baidu and Wang Dachui to start dealing with what they should do, and then he and Li Tianyuan went to the side to chat.
"What's going on? Didn't I agree that you would help me take care of my family? Isn't this how the dignified Mayor Li handles things?" Qiao Meng said with great anger.
"I'm sorry Qiao Meng. It's true that I didn't do this well, but I don't know why something happened so suddenly. Moreover, your master seemed to be in a coma due to his own illness. There's nothing I can do about it." Li Tianyuan also said
I don’t know the truth of the matter, so I explained it this way.
"Mayor Li, I'm so disappointed in you. You didn't even know that my master was plotted by someone else."
Qiao Meng stared hard at Li Tianyuan's eyes, trying to see clearly why he trusted this man so much before. The answer was that he could see nothing but a pair of confused eyes.
"What? Conspiracy, how is this possible? Then who is it? Is it the mastermind behind it?" Li Tianyuan tried his best to guess.
"Forget it, you can only rely on yourself for some things. I thank you for taking care of my family these days. You can go back first. I know that Mayor Li is very busy and does not need to waste time here to accompany me."
Qiao Meng knew that everything should be done in a moderate manner. After all, Li Tianyuan was a person with stronger wings than he was now. If he could vent a few words and say more, it might cause bad results.
After the two chatted, Qiao Meng answered the ward and saw Wang Dachui checking Blind Liu's body, so he stood aside and waited patiently.
Not long after, Wang Dachui finally found the cause of the disease. It turned out that there was an extremely small needle hole in his neck. It should have been suddenly inserted from behind. The venom on the needle spread quickly, and then Blind Liu suddenly collapsed.
After finding the cause, Wang Dachui began to prepare an antidote, which required a lot of Chinese medicinal materials. After working for a while, he finally came up with a prescription, but he didn't know if it could really cure the disease.
"Qiao Meng, hurry up and search for the medicinal materials according to my prescription. If you don't find it within twenty-four hours, your master may really have no chance." Wang Dachui said helplessly.
"Is there no way to summon your men back? Is there no antidote to the poison they poisoned?" Qiao Meng asked.
"No, my original order was not to carry the antidote with you but to write down the antidote formulas required for different techniques. It's my fault and I'm sorry." Wang Dachui bowed deeply to express his apology.
Without delving further into who was responsible for this problem, Qiao Meng immediately took the order and headed to the largest Chinese medicine store in the city, hoping to buy more time and wake up Blind Liu as soon as possible.
Ten minutes later, he showed up at the drugstore in a hurry. It turned out that one of the medicinal ingredients he wanted was missing, and it was extremely important. This was a big problem. The shop owner said that just this morning, all the medicinal ingredients in S City had been sold out.
Bought it, and the person who bought it said he would give him a phone number if anyone asked.
Qiao Meng entered the number on his mobile phone and it was connected. He knew that this must be the mastermind of this matter.
"Hey, who are you? If you have anything to do, come to me and give me the medicine my master needs." Qiao Meng tried his best to control his emotions and prevent himself from losing his mind.
"It turns out it's Young Master Qiao. I thought it was Bai Du who came here. It's really difficult for you. Originally, this matter shouldn't involve you, but there is no way. Who told you to hang out together now?
.”
The man on the phone said in a sinister tone.
"What exactly do you want?" Qiao Meng was a little reluctant to continue talking. Time waits for no one. If we continue talking like this, I'm afraid Blind Man Liu will only become more and more dangerous.
"Let's do this, I like to play best. You come to this place, alone, and we play a game. As long as you win, I will give you the medicine and let you save your master."
After the man finished speaking, he hung up the phone without giving Qiao Meng any time to think about it. This was because he knew that Qiao Meng had no choice.
Ding dong——
The address was quickly sent via text message. Qiao Meng got in the car and went at full speed immediately. He didn't know what would happen if he arrived later.
A blue light quickly traveled through the city and soon came to this mysterious corner. Immediately after he got off the car, several people surrounded him and led him blindfolded to the destination.
"Hey, here you go, you are so far away from us, the treasure appraiser of our S city." The man in front of him mocked.
"If you have any requests, just ask, and I will definitely agree to it. Don't be so sloppy anymore." Qiao Meng said straight to the point.
"Okay, you are indeed a new star in the world of treasure appraisal. It's very simple. I only need you to identify these treasures within ten minutes and then I can give you the antidote. If there is anything wrong, all the things you want will be there."
It will disappear within a few minutes." The man looked at Qiao Meng extremely sinisterly and said.
Hearing that he was asked to appraise the treasure, Qiao Meng felt a little more at ease. At least it wasn't something he didn't know or couldn't do. However, this also made him very confused. It was really so easy to get it.
Antidote? If so, why does this person go to such trouble?
Seeing Qiao Meng in a daze, the man knew what he was thinking, "You don't have to think about it so much. I'm simply asking you to appraise the treasure. If it's right for you, I'll take it away. If it's wrong, you'll lose a master."
Listening to these words, Qiao Meng knew that this person must be very playful, and he didn't really know him. He only thought that he was a deceptive treasure appraiser.
"Okay, I promise you, but I hope you keep your promise, otherwise I won't let you go." Qiao Meng looked at the man fiercely.
"Very good. As expected, playing games with smart people is the easiest and purest, so let's get started." The man smiled and said.
Then three people appeared in front of Qiao Meng with three paintings respectively. Each painting was different, which made Qiao Meng feel that it might be too simple and wondered if there was any fraud in it.
"How about it? These three paintings are good. As long as you identify them, I will give you the antidote. Don't worry, I have prepared the reference results in advance and I will not default on the payment." The man knew that Qiao Meng was worried about this, so he said.
After nodding, he walked closer to look at the paintings, but in order to prevent the man from discovering any clues, he first observed each painting for about a minute before starting.
This first scroll is an incomplete fragment, just a part of the original painting. It is the work of Mi Youren, a calligrapher and painter of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The original painting of this scroll was divided into nine parts in history, and this is one of them. This painting depicts the scenery along the river. Near the shore, a thin path leads straight to the secluded area, connected by bridges. In the distance,
There are undulating peaks and dense clouds. In this painting, there is a slow stream, and the trees are even more dense. The houses can be seen faintly, and they feel half-covered.
This is a typical "Mijia Landscape" painting method. The entire mountains are first dyed with light ink, and then repeatedly scrawled on the mountain tops and ridges with horizontal ink dots of different sizes.
In this way, the moist and lustrous scenery of the south of the Yangtze River can be expressed, as well as the unique effect of mist.
In later generations, many celebrities came into contact with this painting. The most famous one was Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty. He once brought this scroll to Dongting Lake. When viewing it, he was extremely amazed at Mi Youren's sketching skills.
Attached is a poem: "The sun is setting after the boat trip, and the vast sky is visible from the bottom of the canopy. The clouds in the sky are long and strange, and they are like a Mijia ink play."
There are a lot of poems on it, but this is about the other two paintings below, because he learned through the treasure appraisal ability that these three paintings are parts of the same scroll by Mi Youren, but they are not connected.
.
For example, Qianlong's imperial poem: "Looking at the mountains makes me sad when I walk on the mountain slopes. I look at the water and love to hear the murmur of the water. The feelings of the mountains and rivers seem to be uncoordinated, and the clouds are long and in harmony with the water."
These are all expressions of admiration and appreciation for Mi Youren's paintings. The fact that he was favored by the emperor is enough to prove that his paintings are by no means simple, and are unique both in terms of technique and expression.
There are a total of twenty-two square seals on this scroll, which means that so many people have collected it, and they are all famous figures, either emperors or famous figures of the dynasty.
If estimated based on value, these three fragments must be at least over 100 million. The treasure appraisal ability gives this estimate, but this is only limited to the case where they are authentic.
In the end, the treasure appraisal ability gave Qiao Meng the message that none of these were authentic. In other words, they were super-A goods, but they were still worth a lot of money. The skills of this imitator had reached the pinnacle, and the fakes could be mistaken for the real ones. The only difference
It's just that he is not Mi Youren himself.
The difference between this painting and the original is the traces of the square seals, which are difficult to make exactly the same.
Bang bang bang——
"Well, you are worthy of being the sage of treasure appraisal. You were able to identify the truth of these three fragments in such a short period of time. I admire you. It seems that your legends are true. I have to say that you are very powerful.
, you can take this medicinal material."
"That's it for today's game. I hope you can know whether you are suitable for your current position next time we meet." After saying this, the man left with his men.
