"It is clear that this calligraphy and painting is authentic, but you pass it off as a fake calligraphy and painting to others. Who are you calling blind?"
"Haha, boy, you won't say that the calligraphy and painting in your hand are authentic, right?"
The store owner said disdainfully, "I tell you, boy, no one has ever been able to pick something out of my Belton hand!"
Zhang Xiaotian directly picked up the painting and said with a smile: "You are mistaken. This painting is genuine, but you are blind."
Baitong rolled his eyes a few times and said with a treacherous expression: "Boy, it seems you are so confident. How about we make a bet?"
He Baitong has been around Treasure Hunting City for ten or twenty years, and he has never made a mistake.
Besides, this calligraphy and painting has been authenticated by experts, how could it be authentic.
Originally, Zhang Xiaotian didn't want to argue with this kind of person, but after seeing the face of this profiteer, he didn't mind teaching this guy a lesson.
"No problem, how do you want to bet?"
When Baitong saw Zhang Xiaotian's promise, he suddenly felt happy. Since this kid wasn't fooled just now, he could make a bet.
"If it proves that this calligraphy and painting is authentic, I will give you 300,000 yuan. If it is not, then you give me 300,000 yuan!"
Seeing that this boy had money, he spoke directly.
"No problem, but you have a problem with your character. How can I believe that you won't deny it if you lose?"
"No need. With me, Lu Yuan, here, he doesn't dare to deny it in Treasure City."
Suddenly a deep voice sounded.
Zhang Xiaotian looked for a voice, and an old man over sixty years old walked in.
The old man was wearing a gray robe and his eyes were very lively.
"Master Lu, why are you here!"
Baitong saw the old man and greeted him with a charming look on his face.
"Master Lu is here, everyone please give way."
People wandering around Treasure Hunting City had already gathered to watch the excitement while Zhang Xiaotian and Baitong were arguing.
There are already a sea of people around now.
When Master Lu came over, the onlookers consciously got out of the way.
"Who is this Master Lu?"
"You don't even know Master Lu Yuanlu, so why are you still visiting Treasure Hunting City?
He is a recognized treasure appraisal expert in our treasure hunting city, and he is also the president of our Bincheng Treasure Appraisal Association."
After Master Lu came in, he nodded to Baitong, then looked at Zhang Xiaotian and said, "Little brother, can you show me the calligraphy and painting on your hand?"
"sure!"
Zhang Xiaotian directly handed the calligraphy and painting to the middle-aged man.
Master Lu unfolded his calligraphy and painting, and after taking a look, he couldn't help but frowned: "Little brother, listen to me, it's best not to gamble."
Hearing these words, Baidu couldn't help but look at his face. This was obviously cutting off his financial path. That was not a small amount of money, it was three hundred thousand.
As soon as Master Lu said this, he yelled for a long time, but his efforts were in vain.
However, Master Lu's status is such that no matter how many complaints he has, he would not dare to refute this Master Lu.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhang Xiaotian said: "Master Lu, this calligraphy and painting is not simple, it is not what it seems. You just need to notarize it for me."
Master Lu was stunned. He naturally knew who this Baitong was, so he didn't want Zhang Xiaotian to be fooled. He didn't expect Zhang Xiaotian to say this.
But after hearing this, Master Lu also became interested and said: "Well, I will be a notary for you. I also want to see if I am wrong?"
"Little brother, since you want to bet, let's start right away. If anyone loses and refuses to admit his defeat, I, Mr. Lu, will definitely make it impossible for him to survive in Treasure Hunting City."
Upon hearing this, Baitong was stunned, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.
He was 100% sure of this bet.
This calligraphy and painting has been authenticated before, and the result is that it is fake.
Today, after Master Lu read it, although he didn't say it clearly, judging from his words and expression, it also showed that it was false.
And this kid still bets with him. Isn't this a clear gift of money?
"Okay, now that Master Lu is the witness, no one has to worry about not admitting the loss. Then you can bring out the evidence to prove that this painting is real, right?"
Baidu said with a proud look on his face.
Zhang Xiaotian did not hesitate, picked up the painting, and first took off the wooden scrolls on both sides of the calligraphy and painting.
Seeing this, Baitong couldn't help but sneer: "Say boy, you won't tell me what kind of interlayer there is in this calligraphy and painting, right?
I might as well tell you, I've checked before and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that."
Zhang Xiaotian ignored Baidu and still held the scroll.
"Boy, you don't think this wooden shaft is extraordinary, do you? Let me tell you, this is just ordinary wood. There are so many wooden shafts like this in Treasure City, they are not valuable at all."
Zhang Xiaotian ignored Baidu who kept talking at all. He took out a wooden shaft and pulled it out.
Seeing Zhang Xiaotian's movements, Master Lu also frowned.
This is obviously what Zhang Xiaotian discovered in the scroll.
But this wooden shaft is just as Baiden said, it is an ordinary thing.
At this moment, something shocking happened to everyone.
Zhang Xiaotian raised his hand and patted the wooden shaft lightly. The wooden shaft, which seemed to be one piece, actually broke into two halves in the middle.
Everyone discovered that the wooden shaft was actually hollow in the middle, not solid.
Moreover, a very neat picture scroll is revealed.
"Damn it, is there really a mystery to this calligraphy and painting?"
"This is a bit too delicate, isn't it? Can the things inside the wooden shaft be seen?" "The most important point is to see what is inside the wooden shaft. If it is still fake, it will be discovered.
It’s worthless.”
Everyone kept talking, but everyone's eyes were focused on the calligraphy and painting in Zhang Xiaotian's hand.
When Master Lu saw this calligraphy and painting, his eyes actually shone, and he hurriedly said: "Young man, just come in and open it to take a look."
Based on his experience, the calligraphy and paintings that are so tightly hidden and stored in the wooden scroll are definitely not fake.
If it is fake, who has nothing to worry about when they are full?
Zhang Xiaotian did not hesitate, directly untied the small rope of the scroll, and then slowly opened it.
Everyone looked at it intently and found that it was the same as the calligraphy and painting outside, but the artistic conception of the font was completely different.
Moreover, there is a line of small characters in the lower left corner of this calligraphy and painting, which contains Wang Xizhi's autograph and seal.
From the content point of view, this calligraphy and painting is exactly the same as the one on the surface, but the font is completely different.
It can be said that one is heaven and the other is earth.
Lu Yuan stood aside, with a calm expression at first. When he saw Zhang Xiaotian opening the calligraphy and painting, he was dumbfounded and dumbfounded.
He hurried away, grabbed the words from Zhang Xiaotian's hand, read them, and said excitedly while reading.
"It's true. This is an authentic work by Wang Xizhi. I've been searching for this calligraphy and painting for ten or twenty years but haven't found it yet. It turns out it's hidden so deeply!"
