Collection of Gods

Chapter 849 The best running script in the world!

Under the guidance of Zhou Chaoyang, four cultural relics restoration experts picked up the cut silk scroll and slowly lifted it up. Without the glue, the single layer of silk scroll was soft and stiff.

During this process, the four cultural relics restoration experts were very cautious, while Dong Wenhui, who was standing next to them, clenched his fists with a slightly nervous look. In contrast, Tang Yuan himself looked calm.

As four cultural relics restoration experts lifted the surface silk cloth, the true appearance underneath the silk was exposed to everyone.

"This……"

When Dong Wenhui saw that under the silk was a blank yellowed rice paper, he was stunned and subconsciously looked at Tang Yuan.

Tang Yuan was also a little confused when he saw this situation. He didn't know what was going on, but he believed that the mysterious ancient ring would not be wrong, so he did not show any strange expression on the surface.

"There is actually a secret hidden under this imitation!"

Zhou Chaoyang, an old man in his sixties who had always been calm and composed, suddenly became a little uneasy. He walked to the long wooden table with shining eyes, looking at the blank yellowed rice paper with an expression that could hardly hide his excitement.

"Master Zhou, what do you mean?"

Seeing this, Dong Wenhui realized that things were not that simple, and immediately stepped forward to ask Zhou Chaoyang.

Zhou Chaoyang did not respond to this, because he had already focused all his attention on the long table. He took out something like tweezers from the toolbox, and he carefully stretched out his hand and gently lifted the blank yellowed rice paper.

When the blank yellowed rice paper was lifted up, a piece of calligraphy in extremely good condition appeared before everyone's eyes.

"hiss……"

When everyone saw this, they all gasped. Although it had not been authenticated yet, the hiding place of this "Preface to the Lanting Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion" was almost equivalent to telling everyone that this was the authentic "Preface to the Lanting Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion".

"Oh my god, Mr. Tang actually guessed it right!"

"Am I dreaming!"

"The best running script in the world, the authentic work of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi!"

"How much is this worth?"

"Superficial, can this be measured by money?!"

"It is said that this was bought by Mr. Tang from the Thai royal treasury. If this news gets to the ears of the Thai king, he will faint in the toilet on the spot!"

……

Many cultural relics restoration experts were so excited when they saw this scene. You know, throughout history, there is only one calligrapher who can be called the Saint of Calligraphy, Wang Xizhi. Unfortunately, the Eastern Jin Dynasty was too long ago, and no authentic work of Wang Xizhi has been found in the world.

The calligraphy in front of us is very likely the only authentic work of the calligrapher Wang Xizhi in the world, and it is also the "Lanting Preface", which is the most influential and best reflects the pinnacle of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy skills.

"This blank piece of rice paper is used to protect the original work from being discovered. If the original work is placed directly under the silk cloth, under certain lighting conditions, the writing inside may be visible through the silk cloth, so a blank piece of rice paper is necessary."

Zhou Chaoyang also felt a surge of emotion as he looked at the calligraphy on silk in front of him. He turned to look at Tang Yuan and Dong Wenhui and explained to them.

Just as everyone was getting excited, Tang Yuan walked forward slowly, stretched out his right hand wearing the mysterious ancient ring, and touched the original work in front of him with extremely gentle movements, like a dragonfly skimming the water.

Zhou Chaoyang, who was originally talking to Dong Wenhui, subconsciously wanted to scold someone who was so ignorant of the rules and touched it, until he realized that the person was Tang Yuan. So he turned the words around in his mouth for several times, and finally couldn't help but whispered to Tang Yuan: "Mr. Tang, this authentic copy of "Lanting Xu" has just been discovered. The silk may be oxidized and will need many steps of maintenance in the future. It's best not to touch it easily now."

"Master Zhou, I'm sorry."

"I was a little too excited and couldn't help myself." Tang Yuan knew that Zhou Chaoyang meant well. He smiled apologetically at him, then took two steps back, keeping a certain distance from the long wooden table. Anyway, he had already learned all the information he wanted to know.

[Item: Calligraphy copybook]

【Material: Silk】

【Year: 353 AD】

[Grade: Peerless Grade]

……

The real "Preface to the Lanting Poems" was created in 353 AD, which is nearly two hundred years later than the copy created by Zen Master Biancai, and it spans the three dynasties of Eastern Jin, Sui and Tang.

At the same time, Tang Yuan silently chose to submit the task through his mind.

[Congratulations on completing the mission: The Lost Pearl]

[Task Level: Five Stars]

[Congratulations on receiving the following rewards: 20 billion US dollars, 100 million collection value, 1 treasure map]

[Note: The treasure map has been sent to the system backpack, please check it on time]

……

Four system virtual prompt boxes popped up, which meant that Tang Yuan had once again completed a five-star task. He became rich overnight.

Regardless of the value of the treasure map, the 20 billion US dollars and 100 million collection value alone are enough to make Tang Yuan earn hundreds of times the profit on this trip to Thailand, not to mention the mission items required for each five-star mission, which are also priceless treasures.

Tang Yuan was filled with excitement, while Zhou Chaoyang placed the imitation of Zen Master Biancai and the original work of calligrapher Wang Xizhi side by side for comparison, both wanting to find out what the answer to this mystery that had been hidden for thousands of years was.

"I see……"

Dong Wenhui stood in front of the long wooden table for a long time. He suddenly clapped his hands and shouted excitedly, "I have guessed how Zen Master Biancai deceived Xiao Yi and Emperor Taizong of Tang to preserve this original painting!"

"How to say?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chaoyang and others all looked towards Dong Wenhui.

In the field of cultural relics restoration, Zhou Chaoyang and others are at the top, but in terms of the depth of knowledge, Zhou Chaoyang and others combined are no match for Dong Wenhui.

Tang Yuan also cast a curious look at Dong Wenhui's exclamation, but he did not show it too obviously.

Facing the attention of the crowd, Dong Wenhui did not keep the audience in suspense. He stretched out his hands and pointed at the two "Lanting Prefaces" in front of him. With a little confidence in his words, he slowly said: "The problem lies with these seals!"

"seal?"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to the two seals of "Lanting Xu". Someone then asked, "Director Dong, is there any problem with these seals?"

"There are no problems. It is lifelike and perfect."

Dong Wenhui shook his head, and then slowly said: "But the fact that there is no problem is the biggest problem..."
