Yuefei took care of Liu Xiao and ordered a few dishes that were light and tasty. The boss was very good at doing business and even gave a dish as a gift.
Liu Xiao tasted it, and it turned out to be the unique sauce flavor of Shishen Kingdom. It was so sweet that it was cloying and she couldn't get used to it.
Since arriving here, the only things that seem to taste good are the soy milk Su Gu bought and the pastries Hui Wuyou gave to Qin Jin.
After the two of them finished eating, Liu Xiao decided to go to the seventh group.
Apply for loss compensation.
After Hui Yi and Hui Wuyou were arrested, he got a period of leave.
In addition to him, there are other people who have received leave, such as Yue Fei, Han Qingyi, Fei Yuan, etc.
Of course, this vacation is temporary and only when the inspection team has enough manpower and there are no urgent matters.
Yuefei happily went with her.
All the damage in the team has been repaired, and everyone has moved back to the second floor. Su Gu is on duty.
When I saw the two of them coming together, I couldn't help but have a bit of fun after understanding the situation.
Changqiu and Shanji on the second floor shouted at the same time: "Good afternoon, seniors!"
Yue Fei nodded, with an indifferent expression and said nothing. Only Liu Xiao waved her hand to remind them not to call her senior again.
Ye Qu asked the two of them what happened. After understanding the situation, he took Liu Xiao to fill out the application, and then went to the team leader's office to find Jiao Ning to sign.
Due to the increase in extraordinary people, there were also an unusually large number of reports during this period, and all these reports required Jiao Ning to review.
Coupled with the suspected cases from the Law Enforcement Bureau, files are placed in different categories in the team leader's office, and the table is full of reports.
Seeing so many reports, Liu Xiao felt a little guilty.
Jiao Ning raised his head and looked at the application handed over by Ye Qu, signed his name casually, then pointed to the bookshelf and said:
"Give that painting back to him."
Liu Xiao looked suspiciously in the direction of the team leader's finger. There was a pile of books there. Ye Qu stepped forward and pulled out a painting from the gap between the books.
The painting is a shop with rows of shelves on display, but you can't see clearly what is on display. The most eye-catching thing is the jars and bottles of colorful paint on the innermost wall of the shop. On the right side of the shop are
An upward staircase.
This is the first floor of the former Waning Moon Painting and Calligraphy Hall.
The moment he saw the painting, he finally remembered.
That was the painting he painted the night he first acquired divinity. After painting, his divinity disappeared the next day, and the painting was also taken away by the temple.
He thought it would be impossible for the painting to be returned to him, but he didn't expect that it would actually come back after so long.
"This painting has been kept here with me. The intention was to check it again after a while. The painting that saved your life reminded me that maybe your painting is also an item with hidden extraordinary properties. You
Take it back for inspection."
Hiding extraordinary characteristics, obviously having special abilities, but upon inspection, does it not contain divinity?
This shows that my first divinity was not transferred to this painting. Wouldn’t the temple investigate it?
As if aware of Liu Xiao's doubts, Jiao Ning patiently explained: "You saved Jinluo City, and the central prophecy trusts you, so no matter how many secrets you have, the temple will trust you."
I see.
Liu Xiao took the painting and thanked him, then asked the team if they needed help. He could finish his break and come here every day.
But Jiao Ning did not agree and only asked him to take good care of Yue Fei and let the two of them follow the arrangements of the medical hospital.
Helpless, Liu Xiao could only agree, bid farewell to everyone and returned home.
In the middle of the trip, Liu Xiao took Yue Fei to the shopping mall to buy some daily necessities, toothbrushes and the like.
However, as a girl, Yuefei still has some special supplies that need to be prepared.
Obviously Liu Xiao didn't think about it, and in the end it was Yue Fei who took the initiative.
Liu Xiao was dragged into the underwear store, and then went to the sanitary products section of the department store.
He didn't blush, nor was he so timid that he didn't dare to go in. He was just a little embarrassed and followed him blankly.
In the end, Yue Fei had no intention of asking Liu Xiao to pay. Liu Xiao took the initiative to pay the bill on the grounds of repaying the debt for the watch.
Yuefei was a little unhappy because of this.
Back in the store, Liu Xiao stretched out, stretching from side to side to calm down.
Enough of the chores, there is only one most important thing to do next.
That is - to restore "Thousand Miles of River Pictures"!
But it's a bit late today, so I can only do some preprocessing first.
When I came to the second floor, I tidied up the five-meter-long table and wiped it carefully with a towel.
Then he held out the fake ancient painting.
Be careful and take great care.
Place on the glass table.
At this moment, he seemed to have found his major and returned to more than two months ago.
That feeling of being reunited after a long absence... It's like returning to the original world, and I am still in school...
Tears filled my eyes.
…
Liu Xiao is a cultural relic restorer, to be precise, a calligraphy and painting restorer, because he is better at and prefers to restore paper-based objects.
He was an art student, and later studied calligraphy and painting restoration. After graduation, he stayed at his alma mater, Xixia Academy of Fine Arts, to work.
As an art student from a small county town, he has become famous, especially after the documentary introducing restorers of cultural relics in the Beijing Museum came out.
Restoring calligraphy and paintings is a monotonous, boring and repetitive task, but Liu Xiao enjoys it.
This also made him patient, slow to anger, and taciturn.
Perhaps it was because of his temperament that he chose this kind of job.
Not all colleagues in the studio have the same personality. There are many who are sociable, lively and cheerful.
After all, extroversion and carelessness are not symbiotic.
In addition to being careful, cultural relic restoration workers have another thing in common: they have bad waists.
This is an occupational disease, so he developed the habit of holding his waist.
On this day (July 6, Shishen Kingdom time), Liu Xiao rolled up a calligraphy and painting that had been drying for a few days and put it away to make room for another painting that the teacher had just sent over.
The calligraphy and paintings he daily restores mainly come from two sources: one is commissioned by the school, and the other is commissioned by the society.
If the teacher sends it here, it means it is entrusted by the school unless otherwise specified.
The painting is mounted on a black lacquer bamboo tube, less than ten centimeters in diameter. The stopper is also made of bamboo and painted. Although it is covered with dust, it still looks valuable.
This is weird, not like school style.
Liu Xiao subconsciously rubbed her lower back with her right hand. She took out her mobile phone with her left hand and looked at the introduction document. She only said a few words:
"Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains, the degree of damage is unknown. It has been too long, so please handle it with care. The importance is unknown, but the repair time is sufficient. Try to repair it perfectly."
"Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" is in the Beijing Museum. It is impossible to even touch it, let alone take it out, so it must be a fake.
But fakes are different from fakes. Some fakes may be very precious due to their age and high historical value.
Putting his hands on his waist, Liu Xiao couldn't see any change in expression on his face, but he was already complaining in his heart.
The school has never opened this painting, nor has the teacher opened it. I don’t know the extent of the damage or the importance, so I let myself be the first to open it. Do you believe me too much, or are you planning to attack me?
Liu Xiao, who felt that he was too nervous, laughed at himself. Being able to send it to him for repair could be regarded as recognition of his ability.
He took off his windbreaker and hung it aside, then wiped the surface of the bamboo tube clean, revealing the ugly handwriting on the bamboo tube that looked like a child playing: A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains.
Liu Xiao was stunned for a moment. He was so nervous that he didn't pay attention to this.
Put away the rag, wash your hands and come to the table.
Long table, red tablecloth, covered with a piece of heavy tempered glass.
The strong contrast of red can make the calligraphy and painting content more prominent, while the glass ensures smoothness.
Open the bamboo tube.
Take a look at the cover. It is clean and free of dust, and put it aside.
Carefully picking up the scroll in the bamboo tube, as the scroll slowly appeared, the surprise in Liu Xiao's eyes became more and more obvious, and finally settled into shock.
The dark green shaft head and painting pole shine brightly in the midday sun. The silk scroll is inlaid with gold thread, which is also shining at this moment. The red tie is tied with a neat bow.
Frowning, Liu Xiao gently pulled open the knot and slowly unfolded the painting with both hands.
Golden silk, snow-white paper, no trace of time... This is a new painting!
The scroll was opened to the main part, and a dazzling green color appeared on the paper.
Reach out and push, and the scroll will roll until it is fully unfolded.
This painting is so new, there is no need to worry about damage!
This is not only a new painting, but the content of the painting has nothing to do with the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains painting.
As an art student, he knew the value of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and knew the contents of the painting. He could even recite Cai Jing's inscription and postscript on the painting.
Cai Jing was the first collector of "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and his inscriptions and postscripts were also a key point for later generations to distinguish the authenticity of the paintings.
However, in this painting, apart from the use of green, the landscape is not similar to the original version, and the content of the inscription is completely different.
It can be said that it is a painting created by a descendant who learned the green landscape painting style, and it is very recent.
A conservative estimate is last year.
The lacquered bamboo tube containing the painting should be worth more than the painting.
Of course, if the dark green shaft head is real jade, it may be more valuable than the bamboo tube.
"Repair completed."
Liu Xiao said in his heart, and at the same time stretched out his hand to roll up the painting.
While scrolling, he discovered something strange in the painting.
Although the painting was very new and not worth much, he could tell at a glance that the artist's skill was passable.
But he discovered something strange appeared in the painting.
It looks like a human, and has a bit of a human shape, but it has strange fangs and huge claws.
monster?
After ruling out the incompetence of the painter, we can only draw this conclusion.
Liu Xiao's curiosity was aroused, and he reopened the entire painting, intending to see its contents.
Landscapes, clouds, sun, villages, cities...
Browsing through the entire painting, Liu Xiao found that a complete world was depicted in the painting.
From the high mountains at the beginning, to villages and farmers, then to prosperous towns, and finally to ocean reefs and islands.
The only discordant thing in the painting is the monster-like figure, which is being besieged by a group of people holding various farm tools.
At the end of the painting is a postscript, which contains some unclear words without punctuation. Liu Xiao read them word by word, trying to break them up:
"The extremes of heaven and earth are called the eight directions, one is fantasy, the second is persistence, the third is humility, the fourth is ambition, the fifth is shortcut, the sixth is extravagant hope, the seventh is obsession, and the eighth is reality.
"Fantasy has a king, obedience has ancestors, bending knots are like snow, seizing aspirations and singing songs, shortcuts have emperors, extravagant hopes have masters, obsessions do not exist, reality is impermanent.
"I think of extravagance and turn to reality. If it is extraordinary, people will say: I would like to thank you."
The sentence fragmentation in the last paragraph was completely based on my feeling. The first four characters and four characters were read very smoothly, so I broke them all in four characters. However, the last sentence was not read smoothly. After repeating it several times, I changed it to three characters and one break, but it still didn't flow smoothly.
.
Perhaps the last few words should be read as: "Said: I wish. Thank you!"
Liu Xiao shook his head and threw away all his thoughts, thinking that it was just a mystical thing made by a painter.
Since the painting does not need to be repaired, just return it to the school.
Put the yellow windbreaker hanging aside on your body. It is autumn, so it is better to wear a coat.
As soon as she put on her clothes, Liu Xiao felt a little dazed in front of her eyes, as if she suddenly stood up after squatting for a long time, and felt dizzy.
He didn't know what happened to him, but he immediately reached out to hold the table to prevent himself from falling.
Then he discovered that the color of the painting that had not been put away in front of him was no longer so bright, the green was fading, and eventually completely disappeared and turned into black and white.
The next moment Liu Xiao discovered that it was not the painting that was fading, but the entire world.
The red of the table, the yellow of the clothes on the body, the brown of the wooden boards on the wall...all the colors are disappearing.
There was no time to be surprised, Liu Xiao's vision went dark and her consciousness paused.
When you open your eyes again, you will see another sky. This chapter has been completed!
