Ancient literati were proud. Even when copying works by famous masters of predecessors, they never deliberately copied exactly the same for the so-called realistic similarity. On the contrary, they deliberately added many different scenery to show the difference.

However, ancient calligraphy and painting records have an obvious disadvantage. The famous paintings recorded in the book have always left a name, and then some gorgeous words are used to describe how good the painting is, but they do not mention the details of the patterns in the painting at all.

In this way, when the original and copied imitations are placed together, the appraisers are often the happiest and are going crazy. Because the details of the imitation works are different, as long as one of them is the original, the other one must be a imitation. However, due to the different details, it is most likely to cause various controversy...

The complexity of this is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in a few words. Anyway, this is the reason that many people like calligraphy and painting, but very few people can really get started.

In the words of Mr. Zhou, Wang Guan barely crossed the threshold and was still a long way to go before he could enter the house. Therefore, when he was uncertain about the authenticity of the picture Tang Houxing's picture, he wanted to resist at close range, which was so convenient for cheating.

"No hurry."

At this time, Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "In two days, the auction will begin. Then I feel it from afar. Even if I can't go on stage to watch, it will be better than scratching the surface like this now."

"Um."

Wang Guan nodded slightly and said curiously: "Brother Pi, you should have heard some rumors these days. How many people are targeting Tang Houxing from the picture?"

"Not many, only a dozen." Pi Qiushi shook his head, and then smiled bitterly: "But these dozen people are all big crocodile figures in experts. If you really want to take this painting, you must be mentally prepared for heavy bleeding."

"Well, thank you for the reminder of Brother Pi." Wang Guan nodded and thought about it seriously.

"If it is a genuine product, it is a copy of the Song Dynasty!" Pi Qiushi pondered: "If you don't have enough money on hand, I suggest you take it down. Of course, the premise is that the price should not be too high, otherwise it's better to forget it."

"Brother, don't look at the price of some art treasures nowadays that are often over 100 million yuan, but they are actually very rich, and some are even hyped up." Pi Qiushi shook his head and said, "Some auction houses always publicize how much the auction price is, but they never say whether these buyers who have sold sky-high art treasures have actually paid and picked up the goods after the auction."

"Hehe, it's not that it must be a double act." Pi Qiushi said with a smile: "You also know that during the auction, due to the hot atmosphere, some people impulsively raised their signs and quoted a sky-high price. Afterwards, they regretted it and would rather pay the penalty than pay according to the auction price."

"This kind of thing happens almost every year, but the auction house does not promote it, so it is even more impossible for buyers to reveal their ugly appearance. So outsiders rarely hear about it, but people in the industry know it well."

While speaking, Pi Qiushi also sighed a little: "This is why things that were auctioned a few years ago and have been on sale one after another this year. That's why people often say that the water in the auction is very deep. If the antique shop is a world of martial arts, then the auction is the sea, which is even more unfathomable and undercurrents are surging."

"Brother Pi, don't worry, I understand this." Wang Guan smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work, I might as well pay the penalty for liquidated damages."

"Haha, this is the worst thing to do." Pi Qiushi smiled and warned seriously: "If you really do this, you will be regarded as the most unpopular person. Not only Hong Kong auction companies, but also domestic auction houses do not like you and do not allow you to participate in the auctions they hold."

"So cruel." Wang Guan was also a little surprised.

"It's inevitable." Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "It was two years ago. Do you still remember the person who bid for the beast leader but didn't give money in the end, right? He is regarded as a hero in China, but he is on the blacklist of the big auctions. Major auction companies do not invite him or welcome him to participate in the auction."

"I'll be banned like this?" Wang Guan sighed lightly: "It's really hard to be a hero."

"That's how the world is..."

As Pi Qiushi said, he suddenly heard his cell phone ringing. He took it out of his bag and looked at it. He was immediately surprised and suspicious: "Master Banshan's call."

"Add to see what we are looking for." Wang Guan was also a little curious.

Pi Qiushi nodded slightly, answered the phone, and smiled and said, "Master, it's me...oh? This is OK...where is it? Okay, let's go there right away."

Seeing Pi Qiushi hanging up the phone, Wang Guan hurriedly asked, "What does the master say?"

"Let's go there, it seems to be helping to see something." Pi Qiushi smiled and said, "Do you go? If it's inconvenient, I'll just go there myself."

Obviously, he also remembered Han Lang's attitude. He was afraid that Wang Guan would feel embarrassed, so he just went over and helped him.

"It's okay." Wang Guan thought about it and waved his hand and said, "There is no conflict between Han Lang. As long as he talks about it, he probably wants to thank me."

"That's fine." Pi Qiushi was also happy and stood up and said, "Let's go, don't let Master Banshan wait for more."

"Um."

Wang Guan nodded, went out with Pi Qiushi, settled the bill, and drove to a luxury mansion near the beach according to the address provided by Monk Banshan.

It is naturally not that easy to enter the mansion. There are several guards like security guards next to the wide iron fence. They first asked about their intentions, and then called to confirm before they let them enter.

Not long after, the two walked into the villa gate, went through security checks, and then led by a servant to a spacious living room.

"The two donors are here."

At this time, Monk Banshan was chatting with an old man in the hall. When he saw the two of them coming, he immediately stood up to greet him. His face was filled with a smile like a spring breeze, but it also made Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi forget the unhappiness in their hearts.

Thinking about it, it was just like entering the door, and I was checking it twice or three times like a thief. If it weren't for the feelings of the monk Banshan, the two of them would have turned around long ago.

In fact, the other way around is true. I guess the owner of the villa also has the same idea. If it were not for the sake of the monk Banshan, no one could enter the villa casually. Different positions and different ideas are naturally different. This is a very normal thing, otherwise how could he say that his butt determines his head?

"Two donors..."

At this moment, the monk Banshan smiled and introduced it: "Mr. Han, this is the donor of the skin, this is the donor of the king. They are very knowledgeable about antiquities, and they may be able to see the origin of things."

While speaking, Monk Banshan introduced the old man to Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi: "This is Mr. Han!"

"Mr. Han."

When greeting, Wang Guan also observed it with the flow. He felt that the old man should be a more devout believer. Not only did he wear loose and simple robes, but he also had many Buddhist beads, rosary, and peace talismans on his wrists and neck. In addition, his body is relatively fat, and his slightly white hair and a smile on his face give people a kind-hearted feeling.

"Welcome to visit us. Don't be restrained, just sit down." Mr. Han was a little polite, but he was obviously full of distantness in his politeness.

This is also common, after all, it is not always possible to hit the ground. Moreover, judging from the luxury of the villa and Mr. Han’s own demeanor, he must be a great man.

For such a person, unless you are familiar with him, it is better to stay away from him. So after sitting down, Pi Qiushi took the lead and said, "Master Banshan, you come here, do you have anything to help?"

"That's right."

The monk Banshan didn't plan to go around the circle and said directly: "Justice Han asked me to admire something just now, and then planned to let me imitate it again..."

"This should not be a difficult task for the master." Pi Qiushi smiled, naturally knowing the ability of the monk Banshan. Not to mention imitation and engraving, even if there is no original, as long as the specific requirements are explained, he can also engrave one from scratch.

"If it's an ordinary thing, there's no problem." Monk Banshan hesitated for a moment and smiled bitterly: "The problem is that Mr. Han has a difficult problem for me."

"What problem?" Pi Qiushi and Wang Guan were also quite curious.

You should know that Monk Banshan is not an ordinary monk. He often comes into contact with precious cultural relics in a room. Over time, he has a good appreciation ability. He should be able to identify ordinary things, so why would he feel embarrassed?

“Mr. Han…”

Monk Banshan immediately looked at Mr. Han.

At the right time, Mr. Han nodded gently and then called out, and naturally someone moved the things over. The word "moving" is enough to show that the things are heavy and the size is definitely not much smaller.

After a while, Wang Guan and Pi Qiushi immediately saw the things brought by the servants and were immediately surprised. The object was indeed quite large in size. It was a wooden lotus platform base with twelve petals and a platform in the middle. Even adults would have no problem standing on it.

Of course, the real person couldn't stand up because there were dummies in the lotus platform. To put it bluntly, it was a wooden statue. The wooden statue and the lotus platform should be a whole, a bit similar to the statue of a god dedicated to the temple.

The reason why it is similar is that most of the wood image is damaged. For some reason, nearly two-thirds of the upper body of the wood image are damaged from the kneecap to the lower body, leaving only the part below the knee and the lotus platform.

In this case, it is no wonder that the monk Banshan was in trouble. He didn't even know the whole picture of the wooden statue. How could he imitate it? It would be better to just carve one of them.

However, Mr. Han seemed to attach great importance to this incomplete wood statue and did not agree with the other proposal of Monk Banshan to imitate it according to the original appearance. However, God knows what the wood statue looks like, and how can it be imitated and engraved... (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
