The ninth wonder of one person

Chapter 126 A School of Two Saints

Putting the wooden box into the pouch for safekeeping, Jiang Xin went all the way out of Taihang Mountain, then smiled and dialed the company number again.

He is not a fool. The entire country covers an area of ​​960 million square kilometers. If he alone can find it, he may not be able to find it all by himself. With the big tree of the company behind his back, the best way is of course to directly Ask the company about it.

Anyway, it is also the largest official intelligence organization in the country, and the company must have some information about the Yang family.

Everywhere is connected to the capital headquarters. After dealing with the 24th Festival Tongtian Valley and foreign aliens coming to the country, Director Zhao understands that things have changed more.

Nathan islanders, foreign alchemists, Indian chakra practitioners. More and more foreign aliens are gradually becoming active, which undoubtedly indicates one thing in the dark - what is the big deal? happened.

Just when Director Zhao was thinking about the company's future external strategy, the phone on the desk rang again. It was Jiang Xin calling, asking about the Yang family who was proficient in clay sculpture that Gou Chen had mentioned.

"Yang's family? Which Yang's family?" Hearing what Jiang Xin inquired about, Director Zhao was a little curious, and suddenly became interested.

"It's the Yang family that specializes in making clay figurines."

"That old man told you?" Zhao Dong thought for a while, then suddenly asked.

"Why do you ask this?" Jiang Xin heard something was wrong: "Could it be that even the company doesn't know about this Yang family?"

Director Zhao was silent for a while, and reported the name of a city to Jiang Xin: "I'm not sure about the specific address, but I can only confirm that it is within this range. The Yang family you mentioned is also a hermit family, and even the company has no excuse to bother you. them."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao." After silently writing down the address, Jiang Xin hung up the phone.

A day or two later, the mountain city of Chongqing.

Jiang Xin has never been to Chongqing, but she has been asking about this city for a long time. After all, it claims to be able to guide the map to guide the lost city traffic, which is probably the only one in the whole country. It's just the first time here, so Jiang Xin's lunch is settled.

The so-called hot pot is cool for a while, and the chrysanthemum crematorium.

This time I tried it and it really lived up to its reputation. The bottom of the pot is heavy and spicy, and the intestines are delicious. Although I was sweating profusely when I ate it, I still didn’t want to stop my chopsticks.

After eating the hot pot and paying for it, Jiang Xin left the hot pot restaurant that was said to have been open for decades. He did meet the master chef who made the soup base in the hot pot restaurant, but when it came to clay sculptures, the master chef immediately The one that comes to mind is the Tianjin Clay Figurine Zhang, but as for the Yang family, he has never heard of it.

Jiang Xin wasn't too discouraged by the unfavorable start. He would be surprised if he could find the target smoothly at the beginning.

In the afternoon, under the foolish eyes of passers-by, Jiang Xin wandered around the extremely hot city, trying to find something related to the clay sculpture.

It's a pity that urbanization has reduced the number of small vendors a lot. Jiang Xin saw mostly roadside stalls along the way. As for selling clay figurines and sugar sculptures, she didn't see any of them. It made him miss his childhood experience.

At what time is it better than now, you can always see some street vendors on the side of the road, some use blowing to make a hollow sugar sculpture; others use boiled syrup to draw dragon and phoenix patterns on iron plates; The brightest thing is that when the sugar balls are not completely solidified, use sugar balls of different colors to directly knead a vivid Monkey King.

However, in this sweltering and hot summer in the mountain city, these peddlers with skills seem to have disappeared, and it is not known whether they are old or their skills have been lost.

Jiang Xin thought of this not because she wanted to buy some more candy. In fact, she also had this idea, but the main purpose was to see if she could get something out of these people. After all, they are all old craftsmen. , may be able to know something.

Just looking at the way it is now, this idea can be regarded as a waste.

Jumping up and down in the layered city like a monkey, Jiang Xin didn't return to the hotel room she had booked until night, and couldn't help thinking: "I've been walking for a day, even if I haven't finished a city, I guess There are also half of them, and no one has ever heard of this Yang family."

"From this point of view, the most likely possibility for this Yang family is that it broke away from the city system and became independent in a certain county outside. Another possibility is that it is hidden in the mountains like Fengmen Village, but according to the posture here, This possibility is too low."

Clay sculptures are different from Fengmen Village's methods, they can't be made by simply picking up a lump of mud on the ground.If you really want to be careful, Jiang Xin, a layman, can tell a little bit about it. If he really hides in the mountains, the conditions are really a bit harsh.

"The Yang family."

Jiang Xin murmured and entered 'clay sculpture' and 'Yang' into the browser search engine. After a while, a column named 'Yang Family Clay Sculpture' appeared in front of Jiang Xin.

I clicked in and looked, but found that it was about a clay sculpture family in Ningxia that was passed down during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It has nothing to do with CQ City.

Silently wrote down the clay sculpture family, Jiang Xin dragged it down, and suddenly, a new name suddenly appeared in front of him——Yang Huizhi.

Yang Huizhi, a native of the Tang Dynasty, learned from Zhang Sengxuan, and had a relationship with Wu Daozi, who is called the saint of painting by later generations. Later, because Wu Daozi's talent in painting was superior to him, he chose to abandon painting and turn to sculpture.After several years of study and training, he is known as a plastic saint by the world because he is far ahead of others in the field of mudstone sculpture.

Speaking of Yang Huizhi, his teacher Zhang Sengyou is also a god-man.Ordinary people may not know much about this name, but they should be very familiar with the idiom "painting the finishing touch".

As it happens, this idiom comes from Zhang Sengyou, and it is specially used to describe his superb and ingenious painting skills.

Although this one of the four ancestors of the painter did not have any titles such as "painting fairy" or "painting god", the fact that his disciples have double saints is enough to show how good his kung fu is.

Having learned the painting skills of this master, coupled with his own plastic arts for many years, Yang Huizhi, a sculptor, can even make clay sculptures that can be faked, and his plastic art level has reached a high level.

However, Mr. Yang should be from Suzhou after calculation, and it is not clear whether he has any descendants, but it is three thousand miles away from this mountain city.

However, considering the changes in historical dynasties and land wars and displacements, it seems to be barely understandable.

In this way, Jiang Xin's target was initially locked.

One is the Yang family, which may be hidden in the Chongqing area, and is the descendant of the plastic saint Yang Hui; the other is the clay sculpture of the Yang family in Ningxia.
