Chapter 50 What's up

Gu Hongzhong was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly replied: "I only heard that there is a mystery in it, but I don't know the specifics. This is a profound knowledge about Feng Shui breaking, and I need to consult someone with outstanding Feng Shui knowledge. Only those who have learned the truth will know." Gu Hongzhong was extremely sincere no matter his tone or expression. "Then do you know any expert who can decipher this painting?" Wang Wushan hurriedly asked. "Master Huimin of the Reclining Buddha Temple in Luoxia Mountain, he is proficient in Fengshui and is good at deciphering evil spirits in Fengshui. Let him enter the mansion to identify paintings."

"Is it Master Huimin who heard the speech of Clay Bodhisattva?" Han Xizai asked. "Exactly! I have visited Master Huimin two or three times recently, and found that he is a half-immortal with unfathomable knowledge. It's just..." Gu Hongzhong hesitated to speak. "Just what? Is there anything else strange about it?" "I would like to ask my lord something first, did the painting get defaced in the upper study before it was given out to the palace?" Gu Hongzhong asked a question back. "No, this painting has been hanging in the upper study room until I got it. You don't have to ask why you came to me. Why do you think this painting has been defaced? In fact, except for the three white seals you mentioned, it is true. It seems a bit redundant, but the painting as a whole looks good to us." Han Xizai felt that Gu Hongzhong's question was a bit strange.

"No, Mrs. Han and Madam, look carefully. There are two symmetrical parts of this painting that bulge slightly. The mounting edge is a little bulging, and the surface of the rice paper tends to one side. But this is not a problem left by poor mounting. It was caused by dampness afterwards. So I think some liquid was accidentally spilled on the painting, and the color difference appeared after it dries. So I simply used the same liquid to evenly smear the entire painting, and this is why the surface of the rice paper tends to be fluffy The phenomenon on one side, and the place where the liquid was accidentally spilled was damp again, so it swelled slightly."

"Mr. Gu, can you identify what kind of liquid this is? Tea, soup, or something else?" Wang Wushan asked. "I can't tell, because it has nothing to do with our pigment ink, and it's not like tea and soup, which don't have such a high transparency." Speaking of this, Wang Wushan suddenly remembered something, she lifted the lower scroll of the painting, looked at the drawing paper level with her eyes, and then put her nose close to the drawing paper to smell it: "It should not be some kind of potion, poisonous water There is no frost and powder accumulation, and there is no fishy or sweet taste. This painting was brought back from Tangzhou by Gu Zijing of the ghost party, and he also brought back with him the six-door discerning master God Bufu. So This painting must have caught Bu Fu's eyes before, if it was poisonous, he should have recognized it long ago. And..." Wang Wushan didn't finish his sentence, it was because of Han Xizai's wink that he stopped it.

When Gu Hongzhong heard Wang Wushan mention Gu Zijing, his face changed slightly, but he kept saying: "That's good, that's good, I'm afraid that there are some medicines and poisons on the painting. Master Huimin doesn’t understand this method.” "Then you go back first. What you saw and what we discussed tonight must be kept secret, and you must not talk to outsiders. When you need to tell someone, I will tell you." Han Xizai did not use a threatening tone. He warned Gu Hongzhong, but Gu Hong knew in the center that the weight of words does not lie in how to express them, but in who said them.

Gu Hongzhong went directly to the gate of the Han Mansion after leaving the Inner Embroidery Corridor, and left the Han Mansion alone without saying goodbye to the other guests.Out of the gate, he kept walking forward without looking back.After walking for almost a mile, he turned suddenly at a dark corner and continued to walk a hundred steps quickly before he stood still and turned around.After waiting for a long time without seeing anyone following behind, he eased his tense face.He took out the Nanzhu red box that Wang Wushan had stuffed into him from his sleeve, weighed it, and smiled from the corner of his mouth.

After Gu Hongzhong left, the first thing Han Xizai and Wang Wushan discussed was not calligraphy and painting but people. "Have you tried out Gu Hongzhong's background?" "His knowledge and knowledge are extremely extensive, but he has reservations today. He did not express all his analysis and opinions on these three calligraphy and paintings. It may be because he sees that the problems in them are very serious, and it involves the royal family. He is afraid that talking too much will cause trouble. It's not good for you. But in order not to offend you, he still pointed out the key points for you, which can be regarded as a guide, so that you can find someone else to solve your doubts." These words of Wang Wushan came after careful observation and careful analysis.

"You shouldn't have mentioned Gu Zijing just now. Gu Hongzhong and him are distant cousins. He was able to work in the painting academy thanks to Gu Zijing's recommendation. You said that this painting was brought back by Gu Zijing. He must have been conservative in his heart, so I won't ask any more questions, let him go back, and if I ask again, I probably won't be able to find anything." Wang Wushan didn't know what Han Xizai said before. "Is there such a relationship? Will he tell Gu Zijing about it right away?" "That's not going to happen. This matter involves the emperor. I warned you just now. He doesn't have the guts. However, Gu Hongzhong also made a contribution today. He attributed the final doubts to Feng Shui metaphysics and recommended Huimin." The master deciphered the mystery, which has pointed us in the right direction. As for other aspects, have you noticed anything unusual about him?"

"Really not. Under the situation of great external pressure, many people can seal their tongues tightly, and the narration is tight. But few people can control the physical reaction, and often expose many details. True psychology. Adults know that many masters in the arena can be dazed and calm when they are in danger, and use this performance as a cover for their ignorance and incompetence. This approach is actually wrong. A person's normal reaction should be Natural and targeted. When I gave Gu Hong Zhong the South Pearl just now, I deliberately brushed the inner side of his wrist with my fingers. This is where Lian Xin's bloodline is located. It is an extremely sensitive part, and it is also a weak defense Generally speaking, when a Lianjiazi is touched by this part, his reaction will be to quickly withdraw his hand or throw it away. However, a master can keep his face. It was probing, pretending to be dazed on purpose. But Gu Hongzhong's reaction was trembling slightly, which is the most natural expression of ordinary people. Because as long as he is a normal man, he should react like this when he is secretly teased by me like this. But not Excluding one situation, even the best of the best can pretend to have such the most natural reaction. So whether Gu Hongzhong is an ordinary man or a master of the best, I still can't judge."

"If, I said if, if this Gu Hongzhong is a thorn in your side, and his background can't even be revealed by you, the head of the 'Three Inch Lotus', then you think such a thorn will be from his background. In which sect?" "There is the Valley of Lihen whose skill is above my 'Three Inch Lotus', that's for sure, because the ancestor I sent from Lihen Valley stole some unique skills of the attributes of sex, power, and mystery, plus The original skills of this school were optimized and transformed, and only then did they create the unique killing skill of the 'Three Inch Lotus' school. There is also 'Yi Shui Huan', this school is comparable to Lihen Valley, but the scale is not as large as Lihen Valley, they The skills of my 'Sancunlian' can't be compared. In addition, there are some strange people who don't belong to any faction. They like to go alone, but they occupy the rank in the assassination by relying on the skills comparable to ghosts and gods. Don't call me a "three-inch lotus" for such a strange person, even Lihengu and Yishui may not be able to hold back even half a point."

"Are there any of these people who can harm people with calligraphy and painting? Or 'Lihengu' and 'Yishuihuan' have trained some skills in recent years to kill people without learning martial arts, but only practicing Gu spells and sorcery. assassin." "That's not true. They are all the most respectable sects and strange people in Jianghu assassination, and they will never deviate from the sorcery. But some sects under my 'Three Inch Lotus' are still located in remote places. There are many such evil and dirty acts in such a small country. For example, the Wujiang sect in the Southern Han Dynasty, and the soul masters in Tubo." "That's simple. If you imagine that Gu Hongzhong is a master that you can't detect, then he must disdain to use these evil methods, so the person who manipulates calligraphy and painting is definitely not him. In this way, it doesn't matter whether we can use him or not. , at least he will not be our enemy. And if Gu Hongzhong is not a master, then he will not be a person who starts with calligraphy and painting, otherwise he will never tell us how to find out the truth in calligraphy and painting.” Han Xizai’s exclusion There is still some truth to the law. "Understood. How about it, tomorrow morning I will send the girl from Jinlianfang to the Reclining Buddha Temple in Luoxia Mountain to invite Master Huimin to come in and identify paintings." "Don't ask, bring calligraphy and painting tomorrow morning, and I will go with you to seek solutions." Han Xizai said this decisively, while speaking, he vigorously twisted the jade Buddha beads in his hand.
