Chapter 110 "Picture of Emperors of All Dynasties" Presents in the World

"When it comes to Li Mo's ability to identify treasures, it is no exaggeration to say that I am far inferior to him."

Shi Ziming took a sip of tea and was filled with emotions.

"Director Shi, do you know Li Mo?" a history professor asked.

"We met in Jinling. He said he knew three special skills. One is the special skill of "Flicking Fingers and Dialecting Sounds" to identify the authenticity of porcelain, the other is the "Tiangong Hand" to identify calligraphy and painting, and the other is to authenticate the authenticity of porcelain.

Bronze's unique skill, 'Mountain and Flowing Water'. I personally saw him perform 'Flicking Fingers and Debating Sounds', which can be said to be a miraculous skill."

"Director Shi, is Li Mo really as exaggerated as you say?"

There is also a professor from Peking University who still doesn’t believe it.

"Exaggeration? No, it's not an exaggeration at all. You all know that not long ago, someone donated an authentic work of Shi Tao's "Plum Blossoms and Plum Blossoms under the Moon" to the Jinling Museum. According to Director Fu, the original work of Shi Tao was originally suspected to be an imitation of Mr. Daqian.

However, Li Mo showed his 'hand of heavenly craftsmanship' in front of them, and it was finally determined to be the original work of Shi Tao of the Ming Dynasty."

"When that Golden Eye arrives, I really want to have a good communication with him."

All the experts and professors began to discuss in low voices. A few minutes after three o'clock, Li Mo knocked on the door of the conference room.

As soon as he opened the door and walked in, he felt that more than a dozen eyes were focused on him instantly. Zhu Changping stood up and waved, "Li Mo, sit over here."

He introduced to Li Mo the professors from Peking University and experts from the museum who were present.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Mo." Li Mo saluted without being humble or overbearing, then smiled at Shi Ziming and said, "Director Shi, I didn't expect to alarm you."

"Hahaha, Professor Zhu didn't invite me originally because I heard the phone calls from other experts and heard that you had found some incredible treasure, so I shamelessly insisted on attending this meeting."

Of course Shi Ziming was joking when he said this, but it also shows that the relationship between him and Li Mo is quite good, and there is no quarrel at all.

"Xiao Mo, stop trying to keep everyone interested. Take out the treasure you picked up and let us all see it."

Li Mo took off his big backpack and pulled out a scroll painting.

"This is an ancient painting from the Tang Dynasty. It has been seriously damaged due to improper preservation by the original owner. However, the identification seal is still very clear. Let's take a look first."

Li Mo slowly unfolded the ancient painting, and a picture with a rough outline of a portrait was displayed in front of everyone. Seeing that it was full of insect-eaten holes and dirty spots, a sound of regret suddenly sounded in the conference room.

You must know that if it is an authentic work by Lang Yuling, and given his skill in painting ancient sages, if this painting is still well preserved, it must be a great antique.

"This last seal is indeed the three characters Lang Yuling, in seal-engraved style."

"Looking at the degree of damage to this ancient painting, we can't really tell whether it is authentic or fake."

Professor Zhu then looked at Li Mo: "Keep this ancient painting for now and see if it can be repaired later."

"Okay." Li Mo then opened the cap of the rotten wood scroll again in front of everyone, and poured out a purple-black round stick with gold patterns on it.

Especially the purple and black contrasting gold effect, everyone's eyes lit up, and the gold suddenly felt dazzling and dazzling.

"It has a light fragrance, purple-black color, not obvious texture, moist and shiny. The material used is indeed small-leaf rosewood."

Professor Zhu immediately began to appreciate the landscape painting above. The high mountains and ridges were hidden in the auspicious clouds, and the water came out of the deep mountains without beginning or end. The whole picture had a profound artistic conception.

Finally, I looked at the two columns of characters: Pictures of Emperors hidden inside, Lang Yuling’s night brushes.

This can be understood as saying that there is a picture of the emperor hidden in the belly of the red sandalwood, and Lang Yuling wrote a message at night.

Regardless of the materials used, the landscape paintings, and the gold-painted effect, the work in front of me should be the work of Lang Yuling of the Tang Dynasty.

"Director Shi, take a look."

Shi Ziming had already been itching for a long time. He took it and looked at it carefully. His eyes were bright. It was really a good thing. It was several times better than the work of Lang Yuling collected by the Kyoto Museum.

After all, small-leaf rosewood is considered the emperor among woods. If nothing else, this small-leaf rosewood alone is quite valuable.

In the conference room, everyone read it one by one. They kept talking and putting forward their own opinions to each other.

"Director Shi, you are very familiar with Lang Yuling's works. What is your conclusion?" asked a history professor from Peking University.

"It is indeed his authentic one. To be honest, I was so excited when I saw it. It is better than the one collected in our museum."

After discussion, the experts and professors present unanimously determined that this "Red Sandalwood Landscape with Gold Painting" is Lang Yuling's genuine work.

"Xiao Mo, I have prepared a set of professional tools for you. You choose the right one to open the rosewood cap."

Shi Ziming took out a tool bag from the briefcase he carried with him. After opening it, there were various exquisite knives, tweezers, blades and a magnifying glass.

This was something that no one else dared to do easily, so Li Mo had to do it himself. He took out a blade from his tool bag, and then took out a spotlight flashlight and a soft white towel from his bag.

"Professor Zhu, we will focus the light on this position later."

Li Mo placed the red sandalwood landscape painting with gold on the white towel, and then clearly saw the gap under the light.

He held the rosewood wood steady with one hand, and slowly inserted the edge of the blade into the gap in the cap with the other hand.

"Start carefully."

Professor Zhu reminded me in a low voice.

Li Mo's hand was very steady, and with his concentrated fiddling, the rosewood cap came out little by little.

"Slow down a little bit, be careful of the edge."

Curator Shi looked nervous, and he couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

After working on it for about ten minutes, the red sandalwood landscape painting with gold was divided into two, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the exposed cave entrance.

"There are really scroll paintings inside." Professor Zhu immediately turned off the spotlight. This kind of light is very harmful to ancient paintings. He raised his head and looked at the lights on the top. "Wait a minute, I will turn off all the small downlights on the top."

Lose."

After the optical fibers dimmed, Li Mo lifted up the rosewood and shook it, then poured out the paintings hidden inside.

The conference room was very quiet, only the breathing of everyone was left.

Li Mo took a deep breath and slowly rolled out the scroll. The long table in the conference room was not big enough for it to be fully rolled out.

But just the picture that was revealed shocked everyone, including Li Mo.

This painting is made of silk and is colored horizontally. It is a portrait of a historical figure. From right to left, the images of emperors are painted in sequence. In the unfolded picture, there are Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wen of the Wei Dynasty.

Cao Pi, Sun Quan, Lord of Wu, Liu Bei, Lord of Shu, Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of Jin, Emperor Xuan of Chen, Chen Xu, Emperor Wen of Chen, Chen Qian, Emperor Fei of Chen, Chen Bozong, and Emperor of Chen, Chen Shubao.

"Everyone, please give way, be careful, and spread out the remaining pictures. There are thirteen portraits of emperors in "Pictures of Emperors of the Past", including the last three."

Professor Zhu motioned for everyone to take a step back and not rush to appreciate it for the time being.

Li Mo rolled up the first part, and then rolled out the last part. The last three emperors' images revealed their true colors, namely Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yuwen Yong, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

Each image of the emperor is preceded by an inscription in regular script, and all are accompanied by attendants of varying numbers, forming thirteen relatively independent groups of figures in the entire scroll, totaling forty-six people.

"Li Mo, take a look at the end of the painting. Is there any inscription or seal?"

Curator Shi asked eagerly.

Li Mo's gaze fell on the end of the painting, his eyes revealed a sparkle, and he said in a powerful voice: "There are two, both in seal script. One is Yan Liben's seal, and the other is Lang Yuling's hidden seal."

"That's great. Nine times out of ten, this is Yan Liben's authentic work."
