Seeing that Ma Fang Eighth Master was not talking, Lin Yi smiled and said, "What, can't I choose this coffin?"

The Eighth Master was stunned and laughed for a moment: "Master, he is indeed a master! You have found such a secret, it seems that I was wrong. That's right, what you want is inside, Shanbazi, open the coffin!"

The black-faced man who was following the Eighth Master who kept rushing towards Lin Yifang rolled up his sleeves and walked over, lifted the coffin board, and with force, he opened the coffin.

The Eighth Master inserted the sharp knife in his hand into the Grand Master's chair, stood up, and said, "Look at it, my friend, this is the old guy we took out. I thought it was some gold, silver and treasures, but I didn't expect it to be a bunch of such things!" His tone was very strange.

Lin Yi was curious about what could make a man like Eighth Master feel uncomfortable.

So I walked over to watch---

The coffin was painted black, but with the help of the light in the house, you could still see clearly. There were a pile of scrolls with calligraphy and paintings, and a lacquered wooden box. According to Lin Yi's eyes, it was like a wooden bookcase for ancient books. In addition, there were some bronze mirrors, wooden combs, hairpins, rouge lipstick, silk and satin used by women. It can be seen that the owner of the coffin should be a woman.

The eighth master next to him spat and said, "Unfortunate! I got the news. I led my brothers to the deep mountains and forests. I thought I could touch some treasures, but I didn't expect that there was just a coffin board, no expensive burial items, just a pile of rotten calligraphy and paintings, and rotten silk and satin. So I carried this thing back directly. Look, what price can I give?"

Lin Yi took a deep breath. The eighth Master Ma said it simply, "What is this not tomb robbery?" Lin Yi has read some miscellaneous books and knows that their line is heavy and has harsh hands and feet, and can often touch good things."

For collectors, all old books that have not been shown in the world are rare and rare books, and I don’t know if they are there.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi plucked up his courage and said, "Can I let me see the goods first?"

Ma Face Eighth Master: "Look at it casually. But hurry up---"

Lin Yi nodded, so he took out the scrolls, a total of five calligraphy and paintings, and the wooden box. As for the other bronze mirrors, wooden combs, rouge lipstick, silk and satin... Lao Huang took them out.

When Lin Yixian unfolded a painting, he was stunned when he saw it. Because he recognized this painting, it was a famous ancient painting of the Southern Song Dynasty - "Skull Fantasy Picture".

In the picture, a large skeleton sat on the ground, using hanging silk to manipulate a small skeleton. This is a form of the performance of the city puppet in the Song Dynasty - the performance of hanging silk puppets. Of course, in real life such performances are manipulated by people, and the meaning of the protagonist of skeleton probably reflects the illusion, impermanence, and sudden disillusionment of human life. You are the manipulator today, and maybe tomorrow you will become a manipulator. Therefore, if you see through life, you are probably just a walking corpse.

Next to the skeleton, there is a puppet show with straw mats, umbrellas and other objects on it. Behind the skeleton is a woman breastfeeding a baby, perhaps his wife. The picture shows a portrayal of the hard life of the puppet show artist running around with his wife and children.

However, the meaning is looming and elusive. When anyone sees it, it seems that he can have some deep inner resonance. Therefore, there is no need for more explanation. Explanation will lose its meaning. Facing life and society, although there are different degrees of resonance, it is just a different manifestation of the same mentality...

The skeleton skeleton painting is relatively accurate, which shows the painter's understanding of human skeletons. The picture is clean and neat, and the fine brushwork is well-known and skilled.

The author of this painting was Li Song of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was adopted son of a court painter. He has painted many customs and paintings that express the life of the lower class and depicted the lives of the working people as an aesthetic object, which is of great significance in the history of the development of ancient Chinese art.

But these are not the key points. The key points are the authentic works of this ancient painting in the Southern Song Dynasty, which is now collected in the Palace Museum in Beijing. In other words, Lin Yi saw this painting at this moment, which is definitely a fake.

Not to mention anything else, Lin Yi learned the identification techniques of ancient paintings with Uncle De and Uncle Kang. Judging from the paper, the courts in the Southern Song Dynasty often used tribute rice paper, but the paper in the calligraphy and paintings in front of him was generally more expensive rice paper.

Judging from the above handwriting, it is obvious that the inscription belongs to the round "Guange style" of the Qing Dynasty, and is definitely not the "Song style" commonly used in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Lin Yi initially concluded that this calligraphy and painting was a work copied by painters from the Southern Song Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty.

Today, in the Qing Dynasty, except for those top painters, such as the four monks and eight schools, the paintings of other writers were only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan in the market, and only 100,000 yuan was well painted. Therefore, Lin Yi was not interested in this copying fake, but the seal on this painting was quite special, and it was a rare "hiding the head and revealing the tail" chapter.

Lin Yi couldn't help but pick up the remaining four paintings, and when he opened them, he was stunned. They turned out to be four beauties!

Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun, Yang Yuhuan.

However, these four beauties are different from the common ones because... they are not wearing clothes!

To put it bluntly, these four paintings are all authentic "spring palace paintings", and they are vivid and lifelike.

Unlike now, this kind of painting is common in ancient times, even ordinary people have a few paintings. Especially in many places, when the daughter gets married, her parents' family has to accompany her to paint some pictures of the erotic palace as a dowry, so that the daughter will not understand anything at that time and will not be able to pass on the family line for her in-laws.

However, what Lin Yi wondered was that these four beauties were actually painted by the same person, and they were the ones who "hide their heads and reveal their tails".

This is evil.

First there is a "Skull Fantasy Picture" and then "The Four Beauties of the Spring Palace".

The same person's paintings have very different styles, but the five paintings together reveal a strangeness, which makes Lin Yi's mind a word - "Pink Skull".

Since these five scroll paintings are so weird, what is the wooden box containing?

Lin Yi's curiosity arose again, and he reached out to open the wooden box--

A strong smell of sandalwood came to my nose.

Could it be that this wooden box is made of sandalwood?

Sandalwood is a good thing, especially bracelets, Buddhist beads, and Buddhist supplies made of sandalwood, which are very popular in the market and are also very expensive.

Now, if the box in front of me is made of sandalwood, it will be worth at least tens of thousands of yuan according to the portion and the age.

What kind of treasure would such a good wooden box be in?

Lin Yi was very curious and guessed that it was probably Buddhist scriptures or religious items.

Otherwise, such a good sandalwood box would have been ruined.

But what surprised Lin Yi was that there was a book in the box, to be precise, a thread-bound book, with a line of words written in red pen - the world's number one lustful book: "The Biography of the Idiot"!
