Chapter 531 Two seals

"Senior Brother Gao, when you said that, I suddenly remembered that these two seals had not been shown to you. This seal carving master who carved for me was an old Taoist priest in the Taoist temple. He could say that like me, he had all kinds of calligraphy, painting, gold and stone, and that big seal was carved by him for me. As for that small seal, hehe, it was carved by me myself." Hearing Gao Cunzhi's words, Chen Yi suddenly remembered that his two Tianhuang stone seals were also rare treasures.

Gao Cunzhi was stunned, "I saw you carving jade carvings before, but I didn't expect that you are so outstanding in seal carvings, higher than ordinary seal carving masters, but it was not particularly surprising. Seal carving requires calligraphy and carving, but you take up both."

"You have a superb calligraphy level and are very skilled in carving. Maybe in a few years, you will have to cover all the seals of us."

"Senior Brother Gao, you have buryed me again. My level is almost the same as carving and playing with it myself." Chen Yi couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Gao Cunzhi laughed and put away the two calligraphy and painting works. "You boy, you are starting to be humble again. Others have been in Hedong for thirty years and Hexi for thirty years. I guess it will not be used for you for three years. I heard your words just now, these two seals are also treasures, so why don't you take them out and take a look."

Chen Yi nodded, took out two Tianhuangshi seals from the shoulder bag he carried with him and placed them on the table.

"This, isn't this your Tianhuangshi simple seal with Pu Sen carved? That big seal is probably carved from this Tianhuangshi." Gao Cunzhi said in surprise when he saw the chicken oil yellow yellowish stone.

Chen Yi smiled and took the seal up. "Senior Brother Gao. It's this one. I have never found anyone who is equal to Pu Sen. This time in the Taoist temple, the old Taoist priest looked at this piece of Tianhuangshi, but he was confident in seal carving. The final result was obvious. Chen Yi's seal. The four-character seal script is very extraordinary, just like Pu Sen's level. There is even a sense of purity and nature in the font."

Now the seals of various units and organs use Song font. However, before the liberation, the official seals used by government organizations or private institutions were still seal fonts, just to facilitate ordinary people to see enough. So at a meeting, it was decided to define the national seal as Song font, and then major government agencies followed suit. However, although Song font is easy to identify, it also lost the beauty of seal carving art itself.

Of course, almost all seals of literati are used in seal script now, which is also the origin of the name of seal carving.

This is because seal script was formed before the Qin Dynasty and can present the style of many places. Simply put, the same character can have different writing styles, but they are all correct. In addition, the strokes of seal carving can be extended, increased and decreased, which does not hinder the understanding of seal script. It has a lot of randomness and is easy to arrange the layout. Like calligraphy and painting works, it can reflect the beauty of art.

Another reason is that seals formed a peak of development during the Qin and Han dynasties. The common characters in that period were seal script, which means that seal script was used as seals. Later, seal script was used as seals, which became a convention.

"I had asked the master to help you find a seal carving master. Unexpectedly, you would have encountered a few people who can compare to Pu Sen's seal carving in modern times. Otherwise, this Tianhuangshi, which was originally worth three to four million, would definitely not be as huge as seven million. Just as you said, the seal carving on it is very extraordinary, full of tranquility and naturalness, and has a flowing style, which is worthy of being carved by heretics."

Touching this Tianhuangshi seal, Gao Cunzhi sighed quite a bit. Even if it was himself, some of the seal carving masters he knew, were somewhat different from Pu Sen. "This precious simple seal has finally come to a destination, which is a perfect merit. With time, his value will only become higher and higher."

With Chen Yi's current level of calligraphy and painting, he can compare to his masterpieces of calligraphy and painting who have been immersed in the painting world for decades. Not anyone has the ability to copy the paintings of famous people, and the copied one has a bit of the original artistic conception.

Even now, the paintings created by Chen Yishu have already gained great value. In three years, if it were someone else, he might be able to guess what it would look like, but Chen Yi could not guess at all.

"This big seal is the Tianhuang stone of Pu Sen. Although this piece is not as big as Pu Sen, it is also a rare item, and its value is more than 2 million. Could it be that you bought it from the Antique City?" Gao Cunzhi couldn't help but put it on the Xiaotianhuang stone seal.

"Senior Brother Gao, this seal was given to me by the old Taoist priest who carved seals for me. At that time, he saw that there were no seals on my calligraphy and painting works, so he was going to give me this Tianhuangshi. I took out the Pu Sentianhuangshi I brought and asked him if he could carve seals. But in the end, he gave me this Tianhuangshi and tested my seal carving skills and asked me to carve seals on it." Chen Yi picked up the small seal and told Gao Cunzhi and the other two about the situation at that time.

When someone gave it to him, Gao Cunzhi sighed in great emotion, "Xiao Yi, even if you didn't tell us about what happened in this Taoist temple within one or two months, from this seal, we can know something that Taoists pay attention to purity and inaction. Although they don't care about these things outside the body, it is not easy for others to get it. Being able to get the recognition of these Taoists in one or two months shows your personal charm."

Even such a rare piece of Tian Huangshi can be given to Chen Yi, so it is not a rare thing to let him view the precious calligraphy and painting works before and copy them.

"Senior brother, maybe it's because my personality likes calmness and dullness, and I can quickly integrate into it." Chen Yi said with a smile. Being able to get the recognition of Taoist Master Xuanji and Taoist Master Wuzhen was partly due to his ability, including making tea and other abilities. In addition, it was because his mood was peaceful.

If you are a person with bad intentions, no matter how high tea brewing skills are, you may not easily be put into the Taoist temple with the ability of Taoist Master Wuzhen and Taoist Master Xuanji.

"This time, the harvest of your Shudu and his group is so rich that it is hard to believe. Some things are coincidental, but you have to see if you have the ability to seize this opportunity, and you undoubtedly have done it. What you have gained is not just these physical objects. The experience you have obtained from copying famous works and the experience you have gained cannot be exchanged for anything."

Gao Cunzhi said with a smile that the things they saw just now were not all the gains that Chen Yi had gained from Shudo this time, but some of them could not see or touch them now.

Li Boren looked at Chen Yi and nodded, "There are some gains, not real things, but they are also extremely precious. Just like the temperament emitted by Xiao Yi, compared with the way to Shudu, although it cannot be said to be completely different, but it is definitely very different from before."

"Haha, Boss Li, I had already noticed this when I met Xiaoyi at the entrance of Jiya Pavilion. When I saw his back, I felt like Xiaoyi, but my breath was very different. At that time, I hesitated for a moment and tried to scream. I didn't expect it was him. The breath on his body was more peaceful and elegant and natural than before. Simply put, it seemed like he had a little out of dust."

At this time, when he heard Li Boren's words, Uncle Liu laughed and said, "He was the first person to discover that Chen Yi was different from before."

"Boss Liu, as you said, it is a kind of outstributive aura. This is probably the result of Xiao Yi staying in the Taoist temple for a month or two and some Taoist priests' discussions." Gao Cunzhi nodded. Chen Yi was indeed very different from before, as if he was carrying some spiritual energy on his body.

Chen Yi shook his head and smiled, "Senior Brother Gao, if you continue, I guess I will become an immortal and a Buddha." This is because he hid the breath in his body. If they saw that they were practicing Tai Chi or meditating and breathing, they would probably be even more shocked.

"You boy, we praise you, you are still a little impatient. Then let's drink tea." Gao Cunzhi pointed at Chen Yi and scolded, then began to taste the tea.

After more than ten cups of tea, it was already ten o'clock. Gao Cunzhi smiled and said, "Okay, let's get here for the time being today. Xiaoyi, you just arrived in Haoyang last night. Let's go and rest first. We are still waiting to see your surprise tomorrow."

"Well, Senior Brother Gao, I want to go out, but I want to use two paintings copied by Zhang Daqian as gifts." Chen Yi coughed and said to Gao Cunzhi.

"Oh, Zhang Daqian's painting, Qingcheng Mountain, I understand. I seem to have heard of the favorite place of Miss Shen's father Shen Hongwen, which is called Qingcheng Mountain. You are planning to meet your father-in-law." Hearing Chen Yi's painting, Gao Cunzhi seemed to have realized it, and he said with a weird ending and quipped.

Chen Yi showed a depressed look on his face, "Senior Brother Gao, I can't hide anything from you. I have a deep understanding of He Wenzhi's affairs and understand how happy it is to have someone who loves each other. If I were replaced by He Wenzhi, I'm afraid I would fall deeper than He Wenzhi. No matter how peaceful he is in a state of mind, it will be useless in this matter."

"That's true. He Wenzhi and Qin Xiaowan are a combination of heaven, but things are impermanent. Xiaoyi, go if you want to. These paintings are yours, so there is no need to ask me at all. However, instead of copying Zhang Daqian's paintings, you might as well take two pictures of Qingcheng Mountain you created by yourself. One is copied by someone else, and the other is created by yourself. I believe that what Shen Hongwen is interested in is you, not some famous paintings."

Gao Cunzhi shook his head and said sighingly that he knew clearly about the matter between He Wenzhi and Qin Xiaowan later. What was sad was the teasing of fate, and what was ridiculous was those who claimed to be noble and ridiculous, and they even laughed at He Wenzhi's infatuation.
