Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Wang Xizhi's cursive script "Ping'an Tie", also known as "Gao Jiang Daotie", was first seen in "Jiang Tie" copied by Pan Shidan in the Northern Song Dynasty, with a total of nine lines and seventy-four characters.

Since then, his ink marks have been described in "Xuanhe Shupu". Since it is only a catalogue, its material and the content of the writing are not known. Because it is classified into Wang Xizhi's cursive script, and the content of the writing has the word "Ping An" as the name of the post, later generations associated it with Jiang Tie and believed that it was the original copy. It is the one described in "Xuanhe Shupu".

To give Xiao Yao the "Ping An Post" as a gift, Yan Huang hesitated for a long time, because he personally liked this post very much, so he was really reluctant.

But at his age, a healthy body is the most important thing, and everything else can be given up.

Seeing that Xiao Yao was fascinated by appreciating it, it means that he gave the right two gifts.

After Xiao Yao finished appreciating it, Yan Huang said: "Mr. Xiao, you are a great collector and have such high achievements in painting. You must also be an expert in calligraphy and painting appraisal. Then what era do you think this post should come from?"

Xiao Yao didn't answer immediately, but said with some emotion: "My personal opinion is not important, what is important is what evidence can be accurately dated.

The complete cursive script "Ping'an Tie" is no longer available. Fortunately, Ke Jiusi, Wen Zhengming, etc. have carefully protected and supported it. Later generations are also fortunate to be able to see an ancient ink mark that is very similar to "Jiang Tie". This post preserves its first four lines with a total of forty-one characters. The silk is extremely ancient and the ink is thick black. Although there is not much content left, the strength of the right army can be seen.

Comparing this post with "Jiang Tie", they are very similar in terms of circulation of qi, formation of body and use of pen.

In ancient times, engraved posts often included the writing and engraving habits of the imitators themselves, and there were often slight changes in some parts. In addition, there may not be only one ink copy copied in Tang and Song Dynasties, so later generations cannot be sure that "Jiang Tie" used The above stone is the whole volume of this book.

Due to the limited data left over from history, the work that people can do today can only start with the credible information they have left—such as collection marks, inscriptions, and mounting, etc., and refer to available data to verify it. Its credible spread experience, judging the approximate age of its copying and splitting, in order to have an accurate conclusion. "

Xi Huang has been researching Ping’an posts for decades, and he also has his own unique views, “This post has been passed down in an orderly manner, and many famous people in history have collected and appreciated it, but the appraisal conclusions are not the same.

Most of the connoisseurs in history judged the artistic and historical value of this post from the aspects of its style of calligraphy, the level of sketching, the color of silk, and the imprint of collection.

It can be known from the literature that those celebrities who have collected this post in history have judged the age of this post in the following categories:

Wen Zhengming and Qianlong considered it to be the authentic work of Wang Xizhi. Xu Bangda and Wang Shimao believed that this post was a Song copy. Those who think Tang Lin is the most include Wen Jia, Sun Kuang, Wu Qizhen, Gu Fu, An Qi and others.

Perhaps the level of identification of these historical celebrities is not necessarily high, but their influence is large enough, and I personally prefer Tang Lin's conclusion. "

There are different opinions on the dating of "Ping An Tie", Xiao Yao will definitely not argue with Yan Huang, he just clarifies his views, "So far, although we have not yet sufficient evidence to judge the exact date of "Ping An Tie" date, but it is definitely not later than the Song Dynasty, and I personally prefer that it is a copy of the Southern Song Dynasty."

Xiao Yao and Yan Huang have different opinions. If this is a pure appraisal exchange, then Yan Huang doesn't mind debating with Xiao Yao.

But his ultimate goal is to get a Rejuvenation Pill from Xiao Yao,

Naturally, there is no need to argue with him on such an insignificant matter, lest Xiao Yao be offended, then his two gifts would be for nothing.

Xiao Yao accepted the two gifts, and he pretended to be magnanimous and said: "These two gifts are a bit light. If there are any collections in the treasure room that Mr. Xiao likes, just take them away." .”

"I can tell that Mr. Yan Huang must also be a calligraphy lover. With these two master works, I am already very content."

Xiao Yao didn't bring a gift when he came, but now that he has accepted the two national treasures given to him by Xi Huang, he must show something, so as not to owe favors for such a trivial matter.

If Yan Huang was thick-skinned enough to ask him directly for the Rejuvenation Pill, even if he refused to give it, he would have to think of a reason.

He followed up and said: "I like these two gifts very much, and I also prepared a small gift for Mr. Yan Huang, but the things are sent from China, and it may take a day or two to arrive."

The excuse Xiao Yao made was a bit blunt, but he thought it would be useful, and he would never give Xi Huang the chance to ask him for the Rejuvenation Pill.

"Mr. Xiao even prepared a gift for me. It's such an honor. May I know what it is?" Yan Huang made a very happy look.

"Of course, it's actually just a small gift. I heard that Mr. Yan Huang likes to drink tea, so I prepared two cans of tea for you. Of course, these two cans of tea are a bit unusual. Apart from the strong aroma, they can be enjoyed for a long time. It also has the effect of prolonging life, curing diseases and keeping fit.”

He Huang never expected that the gift Xiao Yao gave him would be two cans of tea leaves, which really made him look forward to it for a long time in vain.

Even if these two cans of tea are not ordinary, can they still be as precious as his two gifts?

He was very upset in his heart, but he couldn't say it out, and he had to keep smiling, which made him very depressed.

Xiao Yao didn't answer, he could only continue to stir up the topic, "Mr. Xiao, I heard that Yoshiaki Yasuda's cancer was cured by you. If I hadn't confirmed that this matter is true, I can't believe that there are still people in this world. There will be such a miracle!"

"Although miracles rarely happen, we cannot deny that they really exist. Therefore, no matter what kind of predicament we face, we cannot despair. As long as you are full of confidence in your heart, miracles will come." Xiao Yao deliberately did not mention Huichundan .

Xiao Yao didn't take the bait, so he could only ask directly: "A person really can't lose confidence, even when he is in despair. But I think that Yasuda Yoshiaki's terminal illness can be cured, and what is more important is that he has a friend like Mr. Xiao ...If he doesn't know Mr. Xiao, then Miracle may not favor him. I heard that Mr. Xiao gave him three rejuvenation pills, is that true?"

"Yasuda Yoshiaki did get three Rejuvenation Pills from me, but I didn't give them to him, but he bought them from me, and the price was very expensive."

Before meeting Xiao Yao, Yan Huang had already investigated the relevant information clearly. He knew that Yasuda Yoshiaki had paid an extremely high price to get those three Rejuvenation Pills, the price was too high, he definitely couldn't afford it, even if he could afford it, he couldn't bear it.

He invited Xiao Yao to lunch, accompanied him to visit his collections, and gave him two extremely precious national treasures for the simple purpose of getting them from him for free after getting closer. A rejuvenation pill.

Now Xiao Yao looks like he doesn't want to eat oil and salt, which makes him very helpless.

Since the friendship card didn't work, he could only say cheekily: "Mr. Xiao, I'm a bit old. Although I don't have any major physical problems, I have many minor problems. Since I met you, I don't want to miss this opportunity." Chance, I wonder if I can ask for a Rejuvenation Pill from you?"

"Mr. Huang, I do have Rejuvenation Pills in my hand, but the quantity is very small, and each one is very precious. You should know that the ingredients used for such a precious medicine must be extremely expensive, and the refining process is also very difficult. .I get along very well with you, and I respect you very much, but please forgive me for not giving you such a precious Rejuvenation Pill. Otherwise, I can’t explain it to other friends. After all, those friends spent a lot of money The price is that I got a Rejuvenation Pill from me, and I can't favor one over the other." Xiao Yao said solemnly.

Since Xiao Yao didn't intend to give it to him, Yan Huang could only settle for the next best thing. If he could buy a Rejuvenation Pill from Xiao Yao at a relatively small price, he would also accept it.

"I will definitely not embarrass Mr. Xiao. My minor illness and pain are not serious. One Rejuvenation Pill should be enough. I don't know what I will have to pay if I buy a Rejuvenation Pill from Mr. Xiao. Is the price right?"

"If you ask me this way, it's really difficult for me to answer. Because Huichun Pill is not something that can be bought with money, I will never sell Huichun Pill purely for money. Of course, an exception can be made for those true friends , but the cost is also not low.

There have been two examples in the past half a year. Rockefeller and Yoshiaki Yasuda both obtained flyers from me. The price they paid was 7% of the shares of Universal Bank and 5% of the shares of Ali.

Mr. Huang is rich all over the world, if you can pay the same price, I can consider giving you a Rejuvenation Pill. "

If Yan Huang is really willing to use the same conditions to buy back Chundan, Xiao Yao doesn't mind giving him one.

Yan Huang's complexion suddenly became not so good-looking, "Mr. Xiao, you are joking! How can I compare with Rockefeller and Yasuda Yoshiaki? The only wealth that belongs to me now is my collection. If I ask you A rejuvenation pill requires such a high price, so I definitely can't afford it."

"That would be a pity, but it doesn't matter. I think Mr. Yan Huang's body is still very strong, and there is no need for rejuvenation pills at all. Rejuvenation pills are used one by one, and it is better to leave it to those who really need it." Meaning." Xiao Yao didn't save any face for Xi Huang.

As the saying goes, if you don't talk speculatively, it's too much, and the goal of Xi Huang has not been achieved, and Xiao Yao is so indifferent, Xi Huang feels that today's meeting can come to an end.

"I had a very positive chat with Mr. Xiao today. You are welcome to visit the Imperial Palace again if you have the opportunity."

"I think there will be a chance. Thanks to Mr. Emperor for your hospitality, I will leave."

After Xiao Yao went out, his steps were very slow, which was a bit different from his previous habits.

In today's meeting, Ji Huang was not happy, and he was also not happy.

Although he had procured two national treasures for nothing from Xi Huang, he felt that this was not enough.

There are dozens of precious antiques and cultural relics of Huaguo displayed in the collection room of Yan Huang. These were all looted during the war.

Xiao Yao felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt that he should do something.

He couldn't just transfer the collection of 忝篁, which made him a little aggrieved. Although he has the ability to do so, this approach is too simple and rude. He had just finished visiting other people's collections, and they were all lost in a blink of an eye. Even if he didn't leave any evidence, it was easy to make people suspicious.

There are so many precious collections in Yan Huang's collection room, maybe there are also in other places, so Xiao Yao simply used the qi-watching technique in the divine art of fortune to check carefully.

He didn't expect that there was a surprise discovery.

The sky above a palace not far from the collection room is full of wealth. Such a huge wealth is even more astonishing in scale than the treasures of the Fujiwara family.

Xiao Yao roughly estimated that such a large-scale wealth represents wealth worth about 200 billion.

Just now, Xi Huang was crying poor with him, but he didn't expect to hide it so deeply. If it wasn't for his hopefulness technique, he might have believed his nonsense.

The palace where the wealth is so high is not too far away from him, and it happens to be within his spiritual observation.

Xiao Yao released his consciousness and began to explore that palace.

He didn't expect that there was an unexpected discovery!

Underneath that palace, there is a large enclosed space, in which some boxes and antique racks are placed in a mess.

Some of the boxes are open, some are closed, and the antique shelf is full of various antiques.

Xiao Yao took a quick look and found that most of the cultural relics on the shelf are very precious, and 1/3 of them are national treasure-level antique works of art. The remaining 2/3 are also precious cultural relics, enough to become the collections of major museums.

He let go of his consciousness and checked the items placed in those boxes.

The items placed in the boxes are quite messy, among which more than a dozen boxes are filled with gold, and some of the other boxes are filled with porcelain, some are filled with books, some are filled with jade, and some are calligraphy and painting. There are all kinds of things.

Among these antique artworks, most of them are antique artworks from Huaguo, the rest are mostly Western artworks, and there are almost no artworks from Japan's own country.

Xiao Yao can basically conclude that in this underground secret room
