"Any grievances between the two of you can be resolved privately. This is not the place to resolve personal grievances. Now you two can only gamble. Stop talking nonsense here." Seeing Zhou Hua and Kawashima Yunfang here.
There was a direct quarrel, and John had to speak.
"According to the requirements of the Yunxing Gang, this round of gambling is different from the previous round. The last round was about authenticity and age. This round is about looking at paintings and telling who painted each painting. This
The ten paintings are all by relatively famous painters, but they are not very famous, and they have not left any mark. It is very difficult to guess. It all depends on one's knowledge. For the Chinese painting world
Understood." John smiled lightly and said: "Now the eighth game begins."
As John finished speaking, the ten paintings were hung up by the other six people among the Seven Heavenly Wolves.
The ten paintings are all landscape paintings, with green mountains and green waters painted on them. Judging from the colors, they are not very different. From the perspective of their techniques, they are all very skillful and seem to be completed in one go. But just from these paintings
It is really difficult to tell whose hand it is from, especially if these ten words are put together, it will make people lose the ability to judge, because these words all look similar.
Seeing Zhou Hua's confused look, Kawashima Yunfang couldn't help but smile. This was the method she came up with. In her opinion, this Zhou Hua is very young and his talent should be extremely strong. What he lacks is knowledge.
If you compete with Zhou Hua in terms of knowledge, you are more likely to win. Zhou Hua may be born with stronger intuition, which is very advantageous in gambling battles. But no matter how good your intuition is, you can't beat someone who doesn't.
Tell me the name you know.
"What? Can't you tell? You don't know Yan Liben and Tang Bohu as a painter, do you?" Kawashima Yunfang said with a sneer.
"Of course not, I know other people." Zhou Hua shook his head immediately.
"Oh, who else do you know?" Kawashima Yunfang asked curiously.
"Wu Daozi, Zheng Banqiao, Qi Baishi, and Zhang Daqian." Zhou Hua said four names at once, ranging from ancient times to modern times.
"Hahaha, are there any more?" Kawashima Yunfang said with a smile. I don't know how many of the names Zhou Hua mentioned, but he still said it so confidently.
"Are you in charge? I know there is no need to tell you." Zhou Hua responded coldly. Kawashima Yunfang had a good idea and used this method to embarrass him. If Zhou Hua did not have special functions
, then Zhou Hua might really be stumped, but unfortunately, Zhou Hua is not an ordinary person.
When looking at a painting, Zhou Hua has to use his power once. Everything about the painting appears in Zhou Hua's mind. Who painted this painting? Who has collected this painting? Now
Who is the master of? Kawashima Yunfang wants to embarrass Zhou Hua, but he doesn't know that this is nothing to Zhou Hua, but it is simpler for Zhou Hua. However, after a long period of consumption, Zhou Hua's energy is also consumed
It was very serious. After reading all ten paintings, there was sweat on his face. It was not because of heat, but because his mind was a little dizzy. He knew that his limit was coming soon.
"This Zhou Hua is finally sweating. It seems that he has finally been stumped this time." The Seven Heavenly Wolves who were closer saw the sweat on Zhou Hua's face. At this time, Zhou Hua was already sweating profusely.
, his face was also a little distorted, and he obviously looked very uncomfortable.
"It would be abnormal if he hasn't been stumped by now. It's already good for him to have come this far. But obviously the Yunxing Gang is too well prepared. They hired all the experts and they have all kinds of tricks. Who can stand it?
It's such a hassle." Lucy shook her head and said, full of contempt for Kawashima Yunfang's method, which was too ineffective.
"A winning method is a good method. This is a gambling battle. The losing party will lose everything, nothing, and even his own life. In such a duel, they should use every possible means. They use such methods
The method is reasonable, and if it were us, we might go even further." Walker did not quite agree with Lucy's view, thinking that Kawashima Yunfang's reasonable use of the rules was nothing to blame.
"My second brother is right, there is nothing wrong with them doing this." John agreed with Walker's words.
"Does Zhou Hua have a chance to win this round?" Lucy couldn't help but ask.
"There must be a chance." John nodded immediately.
"This? It's not possible. This is a judgment of whose hand it is. Zhou Hua may not know who painted it at all. How could he guess it right?" Lucy asked puzzledly.
"You know there is a kind of person who can read minds and know what others are thinking. It doesn't matter if he doesn't know. He can know it from us. He can know it from Kawashima Yunfang." John narrowed his eyes and said softly.
.
"Mind reading? How is this possible? Does anyone have such an ability?" Lucy said in disbelief, feeling that her eldest brother was so unimaginable that he could even think of this.
"There should be. I have seen a person, but his ability is very limited. He can only see a person's thoughts within a few minutes, and then he will have a headache for a long time. I have also seen someone who can control fire and thunder. These
People exist, but ordinary people can't see them, and even you haven't seen them, so it's normal that you don't know." John explained.
"Here, there are people like this in this world." The six Walkers were dumbfounded. They thought they knew enough, but now they realize that they are all frogs in the well, and they haven't even heard of many things.
Said.
"If this Zhou Hua can read minds, then everything will make sense." Lucy finally said.
What they said was very low, but because Zhou Hua and Kawashima Yunfang were relatively close, they could hear everything word for word.
Kawashima Yunfang immediately took a wary look. Zhou Hua was a little speechless. He had a special ability, but it was much better than mind reading. However, he did not have the ability to read minds. He could not read the thoughts in a person's heart.
I really can't see it.
"Are you able to read minds?" Kawashima Yunfang asked Zhou Hua directly.
"Do you believe me when I say yes? Do you believe when I say no? You won't believe me no matter what I say. If that's the case, then why should I answer such a boring question like yours? It's up to you to believe it or not." Zhou Hua
Replied with a sneer.
"Humph, I will know the answer one day." Kawashima Yunfang also knew that Zhou Hua would not give him the answer, so she snorted coldly. Then she began to look at the paintings seriously. For these paintings, she also
I have never seen it before, and this is the first time I have seen it, so it is very difficult to judge. But this is her strength. As long as she observes carefully, it is not a big problem for her.
At this time, it was really dark, and countless lights in the square lit up, making the whole square look like daytime. In the sky, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and countless stars were scattered in the sky. In the square, countless
People are waiting to witness this epic showdown. At this time, no one will say which side will win.
Two hours passed and it was already ten o'clock in the evening.
Zhou Hua and Kawashima Yunfang both turned their attention away from the painting. They began to write the artist's name on the paper in their hands.
"Is everything written?" John asked Zhou Hua and Kawashima Yunfang.
Zhou Hua and Kawashima Yunfang both nodded immediately and handed the piece of paper in their hands to John.
John first picked up Kawashima Yunfang's piece of paper. When he saw a series of names displayed on it, he couldn't help but nodded. Obviously, this was recognition of Kawashima Yunfang's ability. Kawashima Yunfang
There are definitely a lot of correct guesses.
Immediately afterwards, John began to read Zhou Hua's answer. At first he nodded, but in the end he frowned and his face became a little strange.
"It seems that this Zhou Hua really doesn't know how to read minds. Otherwise, his answer would be the same as Kawashima Yunfang and the answer in my heart." John thought in his heart.
"Now I will announce the answers given by authoritative experts. If you have any questions, you can ask them. The answers can be changed as long as you provide evidence. After all, the answers of authoritative experts can sometimes be wrong." John faced Zhou Hua and Chuan.
Shima Yunfang said that one of the answers last time was wrong, and it is possible this time. Therefore, John cannot be too confident and think that all the answers are correct. The level of Zhou Hua and Kawashima Yunfang is quite high.
Their choices are quite reasonable.
As he spoke, John named the authors of the ten paintings. These people were all well-known in the history of painting. They were the best painters in the past few decades, but they were not the most famous in the entire dynasty. Therefore, except for
Except for those who study painting, no one else has ever heard of his name.
"Is this painting by Ma Xianglan? How is this possible?" Kawashima Yunfang said in confusion as he looked at the fourth painting.
Ma Xianglan is a famous prostitute in Qinhuai. Together with Chen Yuanyuan, Li Xiangjun, Dong Xiaowan, Kou Baimen, Gu Hengbo and others, she is known as the Eight Wonders of Qinhuai and is famous all over the world. In the late Ming Dynasty, the land of Qinhuai was full of beauties, but Ma Xianglan's appearance was not
She is not very outstanding. The main reason why she became one of the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai is her orchid-like character, superb attainments in painting orchids, and her infatuation for love. As a person who has been in the world since childhood, she can become one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai.
To do this is simply incredible. It is unimaginable in modern times.
Ma Xianglan's orchid paintings are superb and lifelike. This is because she knows orchids and loves orchids. She not only plants various orchids in her courtyard and works hard to care for them every day, but also relies on her orchid heart quality to understand deeply.
The elegant and refined charm of orchids is why she can show the qualities of orchids in paintings and poems. And her own character, influenced by orchids, is as holy as orchids.
