My disciple is Sun Wukong

Chapter 73 Respectfully Invite Master Ye

【073】Master Ye
"No. 1 in ancient and modern times?"

Su Mobai squinted his eyes and laughed:

"Since ancient times, literature has never been the first, and martial arts has never been the second. How can we talk about the No. 1 in ancient and modern times? Wang Xizhi only dared to boast that cursive script is the first, and Zhang Bogao only said that cursive script is unparalleled. Art is just that each has its own strengths."

"You are wrong, you will know what is No. 1 in ancient and modern times in a while."

Ye Xuan shook his head, his voice still revealed unquestionable indifference.

When Su Mobai and others heard this, they all looked at each other in blank dismay.

"It's you who you won't talk about, right?" Su Mobai smiled strangely, turned around, and stopped talking to Ye Xuan, he was too lazy to talk to this kind of ignorant idiot.

It really lowers your status.

There was laughter all around.

They laughed at Ye Xuan for being overconfident and arrogant.

Tang Qingya and Xiao Chuqing frowned secretly, they were no strangers to Ye Xuan's bragging.

But last time Ye Xuan's calligraphy was really good, and he was praised by Dong Li. Could it be that his painting is also very good?
Only, Chu Jiangchuan squeezed his fist vigorously, his face was pale, and he remained silent.Crazy, jealous gleams in his eyes!

'Why!Why can't I, Chu Jiangchuan, compare to him in anything! '

Chu Jiangchuan seemed to be about to fall into madness.

The auction is still going on.

The further you go to the back, the higher the artistic level.

Huang Baishi's classical ink painting "The Sound of Frogs Coming out of the Mountain Spring from Ten Miles" was sold at a sky-high price of 1.3 million yuan.

Wang Daqian's painting "Matchmaker Nie" was sold at a sky-high price of 1.6 million.

A Chinese painting "Yandang Mountain Flower Picture" by Zhou Xianlin also sold for 1.43 million yuan.

Mr. Lin Tianshou's "Ten Thousand Miles of the Yangtze River" is magnificent and has been sought after by many wealthy people, and even sold for a terrifying price of 2.87 million.

Although Dong Li is an academic master, he is also highly accomplished in art. His "Galloping Horse" was finally sold at a price of 200 million.

The audience applauded thunderously.

Although many people can't afford it, they can appreciate the exquisite works of several Chinese art masters through the high-definition big screen. Their works represent the pinnacle of Chinese art.

"Shocking work!"

"China is really honored to have such a master of art."

"My Chinese art is equally brilliant, no less than any other culture in the world!"

Everyone praised.

At this time, Zhou Xianlin, who was the host, the owner of the Tianya Pavilion, and also a master of art, stepped onto the stage and bowed to everyone.

"Thank you all for taking the time out of your busy schedules to visit Tianya Pavilion. The proceeds from this auction, excluding costs, will be donated to children in mountainous areas to support the development of China's basic education!"

There was warm applause from the audience. Pavilion Master Zhou has devoted himself to charity and public welfare activities for many years, and has a high prestige in the hearts of everyone.

"Here we also pay tribute to several masters of art."

Zhou Xianlin thanked Zhang Lanting, Wang Daqian, Huang Baishi, Dong Li, Lin Tianshou and others one by one.

Zhou Xianlin bowed to the end.

The audience stood up spontaneously and paid tribute to the Chinese art masters with warm applause.

This heartfelt respect has nothing to do with wealth, but a heartfelt respect for the artists who inherit and develop China's splendid culture.

Zhou Xianlin pressed his hand and continued:

"Today there is also a hall-level super master artist who came to the scene."

Those words caused the entire hall to fall into a long silence!

Super Maestro?

Who will it be?
Everyone's eyes were full of curiosity, and the person who made Mr. Zhou Xianlin so respectful was definitely not an ordinary person!
"Brother Mobai, who do you think it could be?" Tang Qingya looked around curiously.

When the goddess spoke, Su Mobai felt a little flustered, and said involuntarily:

"How many people can make old Mr. Zhou Xianlin called a palace-level art master?"

He broke his fingers and slowly analyzed:

"The most famous Confucian scholars today are none other than the Northern Sage and the Southern Sage."

"The one who can make Mr. Zhou Xianlin so respectful is either the Northern Sage Kong Youpeng, or the Nanxian Zhuang Mengdie."

Kong Youpeng, the sage of the north, the 134th generation descendant of Confucius, the director of the Confucius Institute, is the leader of the world's literary circles, a famous academic master who has traversed ancient and modern times and blended Chinese and Western!
Nanxian Zhuang Mengdie, the 121st generation descendant of Mr. Zhuang Zhou, is a representative of the Taoist school today. He pursues art with the concept of "Tao".
When everyone heard that it might be these two people, they stood up excitedly, with eager eyes, and searched the field.

"Don't get excited."

Su Mobai helped the glasses frame, and said solemnly:
"However, one of these two old gentlemen has lived in Qufu for a long time, and the other has lived in seclusion in Hangzhou. They have devoted themselves to learning for many years, so it is unlikely that they will appear in Yunzhou. Could it be... Mr. Ye Zhongshu?"

Ye Zhongshu, the former president of the Huaguo Painting and Calligraphy Association, the No. 1 calligrapher in the world, before the old man retired, he once created a piece of calligraphy called "Humble Room Inscription", which was sold at a sky-high price of 5.7 million yuan, setting a new record for calligraphy transactions by famous contemporary masters , known as the "walking money printing machine".

Thinking that after Mr. Ye Zhongshu retired, he devoted himself to landscapes and created casually. Yunzhou is already famous for its scenery, and hundreds of millions of tourists come here every year.

"Mr. Ye Zhongshu is very likely to visit here! He was invited by Pavilion Master Zhou Xianlin."

Thinking of this, Su Mobai also stood up excitedly, ready to appreciate the elegance of calligraphy No.1.

Everyone is eagerly waiting, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Zhou Xianlin clasped his hands again and said: "The calligraphy of this master artist is unparalleled in ancient and modern times. It can be called the beginning of his own calligraphy. This is No. 1."

Whoa!
This high evaluation caused an uproar in the hall, but it also completely ignited the passion of the audience.

"It must be Mr. Ye Zhongshu." Su Mobai insisted without hesitation.

"Ye Zhongshu!"

"Ye Zhongshu! Ye Zhongshu~"

Many people at the scene began to shout, besides Ye Zhongshu, they really couldn't think of anyone else who could be so praised by Zhou Xianlin as a calligraphy master?
Sure enough, Zhou Xianlin looked around the scene and said slowly:

"Let us welcome Master Ye to come and create the finale work for us."

At this moment, the scene was boiling.

Countless fans of Ye Zhongshu's fans began to cheer, and many wealthy people who love to collect Ye Zhongshu's calligraphy bluntly said that the trip was worthwhile.

"Since Master Ye sealed his pen, there have been no new works out for five years."

"I didn't expect to invite Master Ye Zhongshu to come. It's too fraudulent."

"After five years of retiring, Master Ye is creating again. I am afraid that today's price will break the record!"

In the auction house, everyone was whispering to each other, waiting enthusiastically.

At this time, Zhou Xianlin bowed to the bottom again, bent his body, and said in extremely humble words:

"Respectfully invite Master Ye to come on stage."

At the same time, Zhang Lanting, Wang Daqian, Huang Baishi, Dong Li, Lin Tianshou and other art masters also bowed to each other:

"Respectfully invite Master Ye to come on stage."

"Respectfully invite Master Ye to come on stage."
