"Hehe! No. 17?"

Zheng Guangrong was sitting in the waiting area of ​​the booth, holding a bottle of Coke in his hand, with a disdainful expression in his eyes: "How dare you come to compete with me at this level? Don't take a pee to take care of yourself, weigh yourself Shen Qiu doesn't even have the qualifications to carry my shoes! Let's talk about it after surpassing the first fifteen people!"

The onlookers at the scene expressed their opinions, most of them lamented Shen Qiu's No.17 result in the first round, which obviously didn't match his status as a champion contender.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the fun, and experts watch the way, and there are also some knowledgeable ones, who can see Shen Qiu's special features at a glance.

"The pattern is small. The pattern is small. When you say that, Shen Qiu really has a small pattern. Have you seen it? Shen Qiu picked out this golden Zhongkui mask. If you put it in front of you, can you see it?" Can you find out what it is? Even if you touch the treasure with your hands, can you find out whether it is real or not?"

This remark stumped an antique shop owner. He took a closer look at the golden Zhongkui mask, shook his head vigorously and said, "I really can't tell what the mask is from? I can only tell from the surface that this mask The workmanship is good, the genuine gold material, that’s all! You can’t see anything else! You said that Shen Qiu chose something wrong, but he chose such a hard bone! This is not because I am making myself uncomfortable Well!"

The knowledgeable master glanced at the boss: "That's why you are an unknown small owner of an antique shop. Shen Qiu sat on the throne of treasure appreciating master at a young age. Do you think that with Shen Qiu's strength, he can't compare with those in front of you?" No matter how bad it is, it’s not even inferior to my wife, Qin Qingyu, right? She doesn’t care about the first round of points! No.1 is only [-] points? Shen Qiu is not interested! She is really interested It’s Zhong Kui’s golden mask! Do you understand?”

As soon as the experts explained, the bosses suddenly realized: "This is indeed the case. Ever since we met Shen Qiu, this kid has never played cards according to common sense! It turns out that he is only interested in this Zhong Kui mask! Those of us are so small!"

The golden Zhongkui mask was taken out of the glass booth by the staff, and only then did people notice a special detail.

In the glass booth, Zhong Kui's mask was golden in color, but after taking it out of the booth, the golden layer on the surface became a little darker. Everyone suddenly realized that the mask was full of gold in the counter. But after it was taken out, it was slightly dull and had a dark purple color.

The master craftsmen all know that in the glass display cabinet, due to the special refraction angle of the light, the golden yellow of the mask is particularly conspicuous, and it is slightly dark purple from another angle, which shows that the material is not pure gold, which must be mixed with gold. In addition to other impurities, such as brass, copper, aluminum, iron and the like.

Obviously, this is a deliberate trick designed by the planner to confuse the contestants' vision. Everyone's concept of this mask is very vague. After such a toss, it is even more difficult to see the authenticity of Zhong Kui's mask. It was time to wait for Shen Qiu to reveal the truth.

"This mask of Zhong Kui also confused my sight at first! I once thought it was an authentic piece!"

Shen Qiu didn't give a shit about it, and went straight to the topic at the beginning and said: "The prototype of this mask comes from a work in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Zhong Kai's "Zhong Kui Examining Ghosts". This painting was quite famous in the Xuanzong period. Let’s put it this way! Before that, many people didn’t know Zhong Kui’s name. This painting has popularized Zhong Kui’s knowledge points to the public to a large extent, which is similar to our popular Internet songs It’s the same reason, people who sing fire are not popular! And Zhong Kai’s "Zhong Kui Examining Ghosts" is also a picture of people who are fire! At least not many people know about Zhong Kai in the antique world!"

"After that, a batch of works of art created by the image of Zhong Kui emerged, including calligraphy and painting, and the most famous one is "Zhong Kui's Golden Face". The reason is that it is inseparable from Tang Xuanzong and Yang Guifei relation!"

There was a sudden silence inside and outside the venue, and even some contestants couldn't help but stop their actions and listen to Shen Qiu's knowledge points. Everyone was curious. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty is related to Concubine Yang Gui.

"It is said that after Tang Xuanzong stabbed Concubine Yang to death in Maweipo, after returning to Chang'an City, he would have nightmares every day, all about Concubine Yang, and it was said that the ghost of Concubine Yang came back to settle accounts with Xuanzong, Xuanzong lived every day I was so worried that I spent every day in nightmares, and in order to save my life, I went to ask the mages in the frontier to do things for Concubine Yang Gui!"

"But several mages in succession did not drive away Yang Guifei's wronged soul. On the contrary, the frequency of nightmares became more and more frequent. Sometimes even in broad daylight, I would have nightmares and dream of Yang Guifei. I almost failed Tang Xuanzong Scared to death!"

"So the frontier mage gave him a note, and asked him to go to the Baiyun Taoist Temple in the suburbs of Chang'an to invite a Zhong Kui back. Zhong Kui is the king of all ghosts in the underworld, and he must be able to suppress Concubine Yang! How dare Xuanzong not follow? , in order to survive, I agreed to go to the Taoist temple to invite Zhong Kui!"

"It is said that Zhong Kui was invited to the Taoist temple, but in fact, the emperor spent his own money to make a mask of Zhong Kui first, sent it to the Taoist temple to worship, and then took the auspicious day of the zodiac to invite Zhong Kui back from the Taoist temple. Although the matter was rushed, but The workmanship of Zhong Kui's mask is unambiguous at all. According to the master's intention, Tang Xuanzong found 49 top carving craftsmen in Chang'an City. It took two full days and two nights to create this special Zhong Kui's golden face. , The selected materials and manufacturing techniques were all at the top level at that time."

"Later, it is said that after Xuanzong invited Zhong Kui's mask, it was really peaceful. There was no horror picture of Concubine Yang Guifei disheveled to collect debts in her sleep. It was also after 49 days of Qiqiu that the master brought Zhong Kui's golden mask with her again. Back in the Taoist temple, the incident of the noble concubine's soul-locking has come to an end, and Zhong Kui's golden face has been enshrined in the temple."

"Later, there was no record of this mask appearing in the annals of history until this mask appeared at our match!"

After Shen Qiu's explanation, everyone took a closer look, and now that Shen Qiu picked it out, then its identity must be a fake or a high imitation, and then it's up to Shen Qiu to reveal the secret.

"I don't have any hands-on experience. If I only observe with the naked eye, first of all, the image of Zhong Kui's mask is not a problem. You can check it in "Records of the Great Tang Dynasty". 90.00% nine!"

"Let's talk about its material. It can be analyzed from the granular appearance. The material of the mask is mixed with gold, brass, and copper, and the chemical reaction of the outer coating is real!"

"Let's make an assumption first, assuming that this gold mask is authentic, then its historical research value is extremely high, and its production process is a fusion of the essence of 49 master craftsmen. It is the peak level during Li Longji's reign during the Kaiyuan period, so its value will be immeasurable, and it will definitely be called a priceless treasure!"

"Then the question is, is this mask of Zhong Kui's golden face real or fake?"

Ok?

When Shen Qiu picked out this mask, everyone's first reaction was definitely a fake, but after listening to Shen Qiu's analysis, why did this thing sound more and more mysterious, and it looked like an authentic one?

What kind of medicine is sold in this Shen Qiu's gourd?

Shen Qiu seemed to see through everyone's psychology, pointed at Zhong Kui's mask and smiled lightly: "This Zhong Kui... is both true and false!"
