Mo Xiaosheng did not say anything, but carefully leaned over the "Picture of Confucius Teaching" for a moment. In the picture, he saw that Confucius was graceful and magnanimous, with his body leaning slightly forward, his hands bowing, being humble and polite, and wearing a Confucian scarf on his head.

His eyes are straight, his beard and hair are flowing, and his eyes are smiling, revealing the wisdom unique to a saint.

At the top of the picture are written the words "Portrait of the late teacher Confucius teaching", and on the upper right are the sixteen words "The virtues of heaven and earth, the Tao of ancient and modern times, the abridgement of the Six Classics, and the constitution for eternity".

On the lower left is the signature, which reads "Tang Wu Daozi Brush" and is stamped with a seal, which is exactly the same as Wu Daozi's painting style!

Mo Xiaosheng frowned slightly and said slowly: "From a rough perspective, this painting shows a skillful use of brush strokes and transfer techniques, which captures the essence of Wu Dai's style. If you look closely, you can see that the painting was also created by Wu Daozi.

His typical orchid leaf drawing technique is completely different from Gu Kaizhi's technique of tightly connecting and spinning silk, which was used by the world at that time, like spring silkworms spinning silk.

The obvious ups and downs, the majestic and relaxed situation, well demonstrate an inner spiritual power! "

Hearing Mo Xiaosheng's words, Master Qi, who had previously been very scornful of Mo Xiaosheng, trembled suddenly, opened his mouth, and looked at Mo Xiaosheng in disbelief. He never expected that Mo Xiaosheng was so proficient in the painting saint's words.

, and every comment is extremely accurate and to the point!

Even Master Chen on the side said that his face was full of horror. Although he did not specialize in calligraphy and painting, he had some understanding of it, and he could tell that Mo Xiaosheng's analysis was very professional. He also had solid basic skills and concise sentences!

The two of them couldn't help but move forward, their eyes no longer showing contempt as before, and they continued to listen carefully to Mo Xiaosheng's comments.

"In addition, this is different from Gu Kaizhi and Lu Tan's sparse painting style. The brushwork is not thoughtful but the meaning is full, the appearance is imperfect but the spirit is complete, the clothes are fluttering, and the body is like dancing. It is worthy of Wu Dai's style!"

The more Mo Xiaosheng talked, the more excited he became, and the admiration in his eyes was beyond words. It showed that he also loved this painting very much.

Master Chen and Master Qi were both surprised when they heard Mo Xiaosheng's analysis. They looked at Mo Xiaosheng with a hint of admiration in their eyes, especially Master Qi. He felt that purely from the perspective of Mo Xiaosheng's attainments in the study of Wu Daozi's paintings.

Maybe not even beneath him!

"Xiaosheng, according to you, this painting is authentic?!"

Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked with a rather excited expression. If this painting was fake, Mo Xiaosheng would definitely point out the flaws in it. But now that Mo Xiaosheng has carefully evaluated the painting, he

There was no mention of any shortcomings or shortcomings in this painting, so he naturally thought that Mo Xiaosheng also judged that it was a real painting.

Mo Xiaosheng pursed his lips, looked at the paintings on the table and shook his head with a faint smile. A strange light burst out from his eyes. In the end, he did not speak. He turned around and frowned at Zhou Chen and asked, "You mean, you still have a painting in your hand."

Is it exactly the same as this painting?!"

In order to highlight the key point, he specially emphasized the volume of the words "exactly the same".

Zhou Chen nodded with a grimace and sighed, "How I wish there was only one like this in the world!"

As he spoke, he raised his head and walked to a crystal glass cabinet inside, and opened the combination lock again. After putting on his gloves, he took out a similarly slightly yellowed painting from the crystal glass cabinet.

A confident smile appeared on Mo Xiaosheng's face, and he turned to look at the scroll in Zhou Chen's hand, but his heart trembled suddenly, his eyes widened suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief!

Because he discovered that the scroll in Zhou Chen's hand also had a faint green light!

Mo Xiaosheng's heart moved and he couldn't wait to step forward and took the initiative to take the scroll from Zhou Chen's hand.

The supervisor on the side quickly rushed to the desk and laid another piece of brocade cloth on the free space on the table so that Mo Xiaosheng could spread the scroll on it.

Qiao De hurriedly stepped forward and saw that the color behind Mo Xiaosheng's newly unfolded scroll suddenly changed. He saw that this was also a "Picture of Confucius Teaching", which was exactly the same as the one that Zhou Chen had unfolded just now.

Difference!

No matter from the structure of the picture, the position of withdrawals, signatures and seals, to the style and lines of the painting, they are absolutely the same!

Mo Xiaosheng's expression became extremely solemn after seeing this painting. He quickly asked Zhou Chen aside for a magnifying glass and examined the painting carefully. He frowned and his face became increasingly ugly.

He was quite puzzled, as it turned out to be exactly the same! Even though he looked so carefully, he still didn't find anything strange at all!

"Xiaosheng, how about... can you tell the truth from the lies?"

Zhou Chen asked with a bitter face. Seeing that Mo Xiaosheng's face was solemn, his heart was full of bitterness. It seemed that even Mo Xiaosheng couldn't tell the truth from the false.

Mo Xiaosheng said nothing. He took a magnifying glass and looked at the two paintings carefully again, but still found nothing. He couldn't help but sighed in frustration and put the magnifying glass back. He seemed to want to give up, but at this moment

, the magnifying glass flashed, and he seemed to suddenly notice something. Then his eyes lit up, and after thinking carefully, he hurriedly took off his gloves and asked the supervisor beside him urgently: "Are there wet towels and dry towels?"

"Ah. Yes, yes!"

The supervisor quickly agreed, ran out quickly, and soon ran back with a plastic box. There were two clean white wet towels and two identical dry towels in the plastic box.

Mo Xiaosheng carefully wiped his hands with a wet towel to remove foreign objects and sweat stains on his hands. Then he carefully dried his hands with a dry towel, and then walked back to the desk and put on the drawing paper of one of the paintings.

He stretched out two fingers and touched it, his brows raised slightly, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes. Then he suddenly leaned over and sniffed the painting, then grinned, and the solemn expression on his face suddenly disappeared.

A look of enlightenment appeared!

Then Mo Xiaosheng touched another painting in the same way, leaned over and sniffed it, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and secretly had an idea in his mind.

"Xiaosheng, did you see something?!"

After Zhou Chen saw the look on Mo Xiaosheng's face, his heart trembled suddenly, he hurriedly stepped forward and said eagerly.

Mo Xiaosheng smiled faintly, did not answer him, and said, "Brother Zhou, take out those two pen washes and have a look!"

Zhou Chen was slightly startled. Seeing that Mo Xiaosheng didn't answer directly, he didn't know if Mo Xiaosheng saw that he was trying to show off, or if he didn't see anything at all. He was a little confused, but he didn't ask any more questions, and asked the supervisor to go to the other side with him.

On the glass counter, he took out the two pens and put them on a tray covered with velvet cloth. He and the supervisor carefully carried them over.

"Oh. This is incredible!"

When Qiao De saw the two white brush washers, they looked like hungry wolves after seeing meat. His eyes widened suddenly, glowing with excitement, and he quickly walked up to them. Looking at the two white brush washers, he said in surprise, "What if

If I read it correctly, this should be a white jade carving with five dragon patterns from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty!"

"Uncle Qiao has great eyesight. I still say the same thing. It would be great if there was only one of these things!"

Zhou Chen held two identical, "incomparably precious" brush washes in his hands. He had a sad face, not even the slightest bit happy.

Seeing him like this, Mo Xiaosheng couldn't help but shake his head and smile, then squinted his eyes and glanced at the two white jade carvings with five dragon patterns. As he expected, the two brush washers not only looked the same in appearance, but also had different patterns all over their bodies.

It exudes a faint turquoise light.

But what was different this time was that there was no surprise on Mo Xiaosheng's face, and he even had a confident and calm smile.

"Mr. Mo, would you like to comment on this white jade carving with five dragon patterns?"

Master Chen walked up and smiled at Mo Xiaosheng. The sarcasm in his eyes was gone, but there was still a hint of amusement in his eyes. He didn't believe that Mo Xiaosheng could still use this jade while spending so much energy studying calligraphy and painting.

Also study and understand!

"Then I'll show my shame!"

Mo Xiaosheng smiled lightly, then without wearing gloves, he directly picked up one of the brush washers. He glanced at the wash basin carefully and saw that the wash basin was in the shape of a bowl, with evenly dug walls, a deep belly, and curved walls.

It was tapered at an angle, the inside of the wall was smooth, and the outer wall had a panoramic view of clouds, dragons, and sea water in high relief. He nodded and said, "Well, the workmanship is really good. I remember that there was a five-dragon pattern brush washer similar to this one a few years ago, and it sold for nearly a dollar.

Fifteen million, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Mo is really knowledgeable!"

Master Chen's eyes lit up when he heard Mo Xiaosheng's words. He smiled and nodded.

"Actually, the quality of this white jade carving five dragon pattern brush wash is not outstanding. It has all the advantages of high-quality jade. The texture is delicate and moist, crystal clear, and the light is restrained. The patina is natural, but the most important thing is actually

Such carving craftsmanship!"

Mo Xiaosheng raised the five dragon pattern brush washer so that the light could shine on it better, and said with some admiration, "Look at the sea water at the bottom of this vessel. The waves are surging, full of meaning and dynamic, and the five dragons are leaping.

On it, the dragon is powerful and vigorous, with angry and protruding eyes, not angry but powerful, the dragon's head is round and convex, which is an auspicious sign of longevity, the dragon's body is entrenched and changeable, flexible and straight yet tall and powerful, strong and soft at the same time.

The swaying in the air is full of layers, majestic and majestic. The entire pen carving is realistic and vivid, with every detail, the knife technique is bright and precise, full of skill, and has a strong artistic appeal. It is an absolute master's handwriting, and must have been made by the three famous masters of the Qing Dynasty! "

Master Chen's expression suddenly changed when he heard Mo Xiaosheng's words, and his eyes were quite horrified. He didn't expect that Mo Xiaosheng was not inferior to him in terms of his eyes on jade and carvings!

Master Qi on the side couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly, sighing in a low voice: "Old Chen, we two old men are blind, we really have met a master this time!"

Master Chen's expression changed slightly when he heard these words, his face darkened, and he snorted unconvinced, "It's true that he can be proficient in jade and calligraphy and painting at the same time, but in the end it's nothing more than that. Listen to what he just said, isn't it still
