This time, Qiao Meng was once again taken to a warehouse-like space. The place was very spacious and seemed to be at least the size of a football field. I really didn’t know that there was such a place in S City, or that it was beyond the scope of this place.
The urban area of S city.
In this way, it will be more certain that the identity of the mysterious person is definitely a government-related person. Otherwise, how would it be possible to monitor the situation in the urban area in such a place.
As soon as he entered the door, he found that the floor was full of neatly arranged antiques and treasures. His eyes were dazzled by them. Compared with the big money in the national finals, it was worth it. If he didn't know better and came to see it, he would think that this is what it should be.
The formation of the national finals.
"Can we start?"
Qiao Meng didn't intend to cause any more trouble. He wanted to finish it quickly so that he could feel a little more comfortable. His hands and feet were now a little sore and numb.
"So why are you so anxious? Are you so confident that you can beat me? Maybe if I go to the competition, the people I will face off in the finals will be you and me."
The mysterious man said very proudly. He seemed to be very confident in his own skills. He thought that Qiao Meng had never met an opponent like him, otherwise he would never be able to win.
"I don't want to be in a hurry, why don't you take these with you and give them a try?" Qiao Meng looked at him with a fake smile.
"Forget it, I'll untie it for you now, but don't think about how to escape from here, otherwise I don't recommend taking action directly. It doesn't matter whether I want the treasure or not. Anyway, they are all things that appear out of thin air, and I don't know for sure.
Here." The mysterious man warned again and again.
Then some men in black removed all the chains from Qiao Meng's body.
"Let's get started!"
Looking at the antiques on the ground, Qiao Meng really felt that he had no idea where to start. In the past, many people were choosing together, so there was not much entanglement. First, the two of them chose six items out of a thousand, which was really dizzying.
.
But there is no other way but to bite the bullet. Under such circumstances, even if he has the ability to detect treasures, it will be difficult for him to touch them all. It is really a big challenge.
In just one minute, Qiao Meng had already identified the ten treasures around him as quickly as possible, but the feedback he received was not very satisfactory. They were basically all fakes, which made him a little nervous.
"No, I can't continue searching blindly like this. I have to have a scope. It's very likely that most of them are Transcendent A level fakes. This guy is good at doing this. Maybe then I can test the results of these things.
!" Qiao Meng began to think about strategies to deal with it.
After much deliberation, I decided to start with the ones that look more eye-catching. Those that don't seem to have much expressiveness can be put aside for the time being, and the ones that I haven't seen much can be ignored first.
Because he didn't even know what it was, so he might as well save it for later.
"What? Our famous Master Qiao is also at a loss?" the mysterious man mocked.
"You want to embarrass me with your trash? Stop dreaming, not to mention that this is your thing. You should know which treasures are real and which ones are the most valuable, right?" Qiao Meng suddenly thought of this, this time
The competition is inherently unfair, and I have always been at a great disadvantage.
"Haha, you just realized it now, but it's not too late, because I didn't intend to let you lose directly. I won't choose in the first forty-five minutes. If you don't find it, don't blame me." Mysterious. The man was smiling arrogantly, and this evil smile that made Qiao Meng want to slap him.
Time passed very quickly, and now fifteen minutes have passed. Qiao Meng has gone back and forth to identify hundreds of treasures, which is far from enough.
Just when he felt a little tired and had yet to gain anything, his left hand accidentally touched a scroll on the ground, and a brand-new feeling flooded into his heart. In this way, he found his first truly high-value antique.
This is actually a painting of Dong Qichang's "Guanshan Snow Landscape". This is incredible. Dong Qichang's paintings are very rare. They are considered top-notch masterpieces in the world today. I didn't expect this guy to be able to collect such a good thing. It seems It can only be obtained at a certain price.
Dong Qichang himself was a famous calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty, with the courtesy name Xuanzai, nickname Sibai, and Xiangguang Jushi. He was very good at painting landscapes. He studied under Dong Yuan, and his brushwork was exquisite, handsome, quiet and spacious; his ink use was even more clear and meaningful. , generally speaking, they are green in color, simple and elegant.
His paintings and some theoretical articles on painting had a huge influence on the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and his calligraphy was unique in the Jin and Tang Dynasties.
And this painting "Guanshan Snow Landscape" was made by him in his later years. His painting style is already proficient, and his brushwork has a strong sense of remembering things. It seems that he can understand his understanding of painting throughout his life from the painting. , and how much experience I have had on it.
This painting is an ink painting, 13 centimeters in length and 142.1 centimeters in width. What Qiao Meng sees now is actually the entire scroll. Due to time constraints, he did not unfold the entire painting to appreciate it, otherwise he would have been deeply attracted. live.
Whether it is the connection between the mountains and rocks or the use of color in the sky background, they are all extremely subtle. The meticulousness of each stroke will not make you feel like there is nothing to see even if you look at it for a whole day and night.
This painting uses ink to draw a distant mountain scenery. The mountains are undulating and the woods are deep and endless. Just looking at it can make you feel as if you are in front of your own eyes. This kind of immersive visual impact is unexpected. It was actually something that could be brought out in that era.
If you expand the whole frame, you can see that the overall layout is rigorous, majestic, majestic, and vast, all in one go!
There is also a self-titled sentence by Dong Qichang in the painting: "The picture of Guan Tong and Guan Mountain in the Snow is in Yu's house, and has not been shown for more than a century. I occasionally have this little side note on my desk today, and I have changed the scenes in the picture into small scrolls, which will last forever." He has no vulgar appearance, so he became it. Yi Hai Xia Wu, Xuan Zai."
From this handwriting, it can be seen that the author's paintings and writings are all based on the past and the new, unique and original.
You can see that his mountains, rivers, trees, rocks, flowing smoke and clouds are all soft yet strong, with flexible twists and turns. The layers of ink are very clear, clumsy yet graceful, clear, meaningful and elegant.
Dong Qichang's "new" later formed a sect of its own and became the first founder of the "Huating Sect". He was highly praised and worshiped by future generations, and his reputation was unparalleled for a while.
"I didn't expect such a good work to be obtained by this person. It's really a shame. If it was given to me, it would have to be well represented!"
Qiao Meng couldn't help but praise him after knowing the true condition of the painting, but he was also very dissatisfied with the mysterious man for placing the painting here so casually as a competition tool.
At this time, the mysterious man had also seen that he had chosen this painting, and he was laughing in his heart, "You finally chose this painting, but you will still be exchanged with me in the end. It's very difficult to win against me, young man."
, the initiative is always in my hands."
Qiao Meng, who was still immersed in the appreciation of the exquisite paintings, did not know that the mysterious man had already planned everything, and it would be very difficult for him to gain physical freedom.
But in fact, there is no chance. As long as the value of the other two treasures found next can greatly exceed this painting, then there won't be a big problem.
Although the first place may be replaced, if he can hold the second, third and fourth places in his hands at the last moment, he will still become the final winner.
The treasure appraisal ability just gave an estimate of 150 million for this painting by Dong Qichang, who was eighty-one years old. It can be said to be very high. Then the other two treasures to be found next must be at least close to it.
billion level.
With such a scope plan, Qiao Meng can investigate one by one more quickly and accurately, because the treasures that can be of such high value will definitely not be those jade ruyi, sculptures, or just a small wine glass.
Basically, it can directly filter out many treasures that do not need to be identified at all.
But in fact, until now, he is not sure that Dong Qichang's paintings must be the most valuable among them, because there are already such objects, and it would not be a surprise if there are higher ones.
Twenty minutes had passed and Qiao Meng had found the first thing that was probably the number one treasure here. There were still twenty-five minutes left for him to have alone time. If he didn't hurry up, the mysterious man would come directly.
Grab the remaining high-value treasures.
Fortunately, he was smarter and knew how to use one treasure to make a rough estimate of the others, otherwise he really wouldn't have known how to find the Monkey Year, Horse and Moon.
"Qiao Meng, I don't have much time left for you. Why don't you kowtow to me three times now and admit your mistake? Maybe if I'm happy, I'll give you another five minutes." The mysterious man looked at him with a mocking look on his face.
.
"Haha, no need. If you have the leisure, why not think about how to find a reason to make yourself less embarrassed if you lose later."
Since the other party is provoking me so much, Qiao Meng naturally can't just say nothing. Anyway, there is no way out. I will come back to you no matter what you say.
"Just keep your words. We'll see what you say when we lose later. The national championship is only at this level. I thought it was so powerful." The mysterious man still went out of his way to provoke Qiao Meng.
"Idiot!"
But he didn't pay any more attention and just simply cursed. Time is running out now. You must not be fooled by the other party's aggressive tactics, otherwise you will only regret it in the end.
"You...okay, I'll see if you can beat me!" The mysterious man was still so confident and didn't believe that Qiao Meng could find all the treasures within the top six in value in such a short period of time and still have to distinguish them.
While they were having a great time, the airport seemed a little flustered. Li Tianyuan found some clues in the employee passage. The blood stain on it was a dot, indicating that Qiao Meng and others were ambushed here, and then here
The surveillance video was cut off, someone must have sneaked into the scene, and there is another clue.
He immediately started to check the list of people who entered here, but found that a piece of information on the record had been cleared, so he quickly contacted a friend of his to come and repair the information.
This may be the clue that can directly reveal the true identity of the mysterious person. However, the hacker master is currently not in S City, and he does not have his own special tools around him. This adds a lot of difficulty to the repair of the data, and there is also a certain problem in terms of time.
But at this time, time is the most important thing. One minute or one second may determine the change of Qiao Meng's situation. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered that he had a friend in the field who was also in this industry, so he immediately rushed to his residence.
