"Oh my god, it's Yan Zhenqing's authentic work …"
"It's just Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. I'm not sure if it's authentic. The Nihon woman said it might be fake …"
"If it's Yan Zhenqing's authentic work, how much would it cost? At least tens of millions … "
Yan Zhenqing was no stranger to the people of Huaxia. Many people who had come to watch the competition today were lovers of calligraphy and painting. For a moment, there was a lot of discussion under the stage.
However, people soon found the problem. The two paintings were exactly the same. If they looked closely, the handwriting on the left was lighter than the one on the right. There was no other difference.
"Dude, which one is real?"
"I don't know. We need Director Guo to identify which one is real and which one is fake …"
"I think they might both be fake. It's not easy to find Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy. Maybe someone in Sanlitun made it …"
On the stage, Chiba Mieko smiled at Guo Feng and said, "Mr. Guo, please appraise it. Which one is real? Which one is fake? "
Guo Feng nodded, took out a pair of white gloves and put them on. Then, he took out a magnifying glass and began to identify them carefully.
At first, he was very calm. He thought that with his years of experience and skills in the antique industry, he would be able to distinguish the authenticity of the two works. However, as time went by, his expression became more and more serious. Later, there was a faint sweat on his forehead.
Guo Feng looked at the two works more than a dozen times, but no matter how he looked at them, they were real. He couldn't find any flaws. But that was impossible. Even if Yan Zhenqing had written two such exhortations, they couldn't be exactly the same. The font size was exactly the same. It was as if they had been printed by a photocopier. One of them must have been fabricated.
Chiba Mieko stood aside and sneered. "Mr. Guo, how long do you need to give me the result? Do you want me to make you a cup of tea?"
Her words seemed to be polite, but they were full of sarcasm.
"Don't worry, I'll give you the answer now!"
While speaking, Qin Haodong walked onto the stage. According to the rules, the Huaxia side could also send three people to appraise antiques, as long as they could give the same result in the end.
Seeing Qin Haodong appear again, Chiba Mieko's expression changed slightly. Not only had she suffered a loss at the hands of this young man last night, but Yagyuu Ai had also been defeated by him at the tea ceremony. Could it be that he had studied antique appraisal?
Chiba Mieko shook her head secretly. "Impossible! This is impossible!" Generally speaking, it took time to reach the peak of each industry. It was impossible for a person to be proficient in all kinds of industries, unless he was an immortal.
Seeing Qin Haodong on the stage, Guo Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief. He really could not do anything about these two pieces of calligraphy. At the same time, he was secretly glad that he had the foresight to invite Qin Haodong here. Otherwise, if the Huaxia people could not identify the authenticity of his calligraphy, it would be really shameful.
He said, "Brother Qin, can you tell me which one is real and which one is fake?"
Qin Haodong smiled slightly and said, "Director Guo, in fact, these two pieces of calligraphy are very simple, but you've been deceived by them. As the old saying goes, you've been led into a ditch by them."
Chiba Mieko frowned and said, "What do you mean, Mr. Qin? How did I deceive you? "
Qin Haodong said, "In fact, it's very simple. These two pieces of calligraphy are original. You have to let Director Guo choose which one is fake. Aren't you forcing him to do something?"
"What? These two pieces of calligraphy are real? How is that possible?"
"Is this young man talking nonsense? How could they both be real? The two pieces of calligraphy are exactly the same. "
"No wonder. This young man is so accomplished in the tea ceremony at such a young age. It's normal that he doesn't know antiques. After all, no one is perfect …"
After hearing Qin Haodong's words, the audience immediately became restless.
Chiba Mieko's expression changed slightly, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Antique appraisal depends on eyesight and experience. Don't talk nonsense. Are you better than Mr. Guo?"
She wanted to provoke a conflict between Qin Haodong and Guo Feng. In her opinion, Guo Feng was the president of the Antique Association, the director of the Antique Appraisal Center, and a veteran figure in the antique industry. He would not casually listen to Qin Haodong's opinion.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, Guo Feng said firmly, "I believe Brother Qin. Since he said both pieces are real, then they are both real. That's the result of our appraisal."
"Uh …" Chiba Mieko said, "Are you sure? You know, there is only one result. Once it is determined, it can't be changed. "
"I'm sure." Guo Feng's tone was very firm. Then he turned to look at Qian Duoduo and said, "We have given the final result of the appraisal. Let's reveal the answer."
Since Guo Feng was sure, Qian Duoduo no longer hesitated. He opened the box in his hand and took out a white card from it. It was written that both pieces of calligraphy were authentic.
The content of the card was revealed on the big screen, and the venue suddenly boiled over.
"Oh my god, these two pieces of calligraphy are authentic works of Yan Zhenqing. How is that possible?"
"The Japanese are so cunning. They actually took out two authentic works for appraisal. Fortunately, the young man has good eyesight. Otherwise, he would have been cheated by them …"
Obviously, the Huaxia side had won the first round of appraisal. Guo Feng was full of joy, but he was still dizzy. He asked Qin Haodong, "What the hell is going on? How can two pieces of calligraphy be exactly the same and both be authentic? "
Qin Haodong said, "Director Guo, you're confused. Did you forget the story of Huaxia's power penetrating the paper?"
As soon as he said that, Guo Fen immediately came to a realization. It turned out that when ancient calligraphers waved their brushes and splashed ink, their poems were vigorous and powerful. They could often penetrate the Xuan paper under the brush and reach the next layer. It was said that a master could cover three layers of Xuan paper. This could explain why two works of calligraphy were exactly the same and were both authentic.
In fact, if he had calmed down and thought about it, he could have figured out the mystery. Unfortunately, he was in a competition, and his nerves had been tense. In addition, Chiba Mieko had misled him at the beginning. Subconsciously, he felt that one of them must be fake.
Qin Haodong said to Chiba Mieko, "Miss Chiba, did you prepare these two collections? It's a good plan, but it's a pity that it will fail! "
It turned out that Chiba Mieko was proficient in Huaxia culture and knew that the story of Yan Zhenqing, the great calligrapher, was about the story of Yan Zhenqing. Therefore, she had done everything possible to get two authentic works of Yan Zhenqing for appraisal.
She could kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, she could mislead the Huaxia appraisal experts. On the other hand, if the Huaxia side gave a wrong appraisal result, it would be a joke. Imagine how shameful it would be for a nation to be defeated by its own classic.
The plan was beautiful, but unfortunately, she had met Qin Haodong. Nothing could hide from his powerful Spirit.
Chiba Mieko snorted and said, "Don't be too proud. This is only the first collection."
After saying that, she waved to the audience. Two Nihon people came up and put away the two works. At the same time, they carried two wooden boxes up.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to these two wooden boxes. They didn't know what was inside, but they seemed to be very heavy.
Chiba Mieko opened one of the wooden boxes and took something out. Suddenly, there was an uproar. It was a bronze animal head, the sheep head of the 12 zodiac animals!
Qin Haodong was shocked at first, but then he was overjoyed. He had not expected to see the bronze head of the 12 zodiac animals again so soon. He could even feel the seal formation on the bronze head. He secretly decided that he had to get this bronze head, or at least get the Upper Level Spirit Stone inside. Now, only the Upper Level Spirit Stone could help him break through quickly.
The audience also became restless. The 12 zodiac animal heads had an extraordinary meaning for the Huaxia people. Now, eight of them had returned to Huaxia, and the other four were missing. The sheep head was among them. No one had expected that it would be in the hands of the Yagyuu family in Nihon.
Chiba Mieko held the bronze head in her hands and smiled at the audience. She said, "I know that the thing in my hands means a lot to Huaxia. Today, I'll give you a chance. Let's see if you can take it back."
As she said that, she opened another wooden box and took out another identical sheep head. Then she continued, "This bronze head came from the Summer Palace in Huaxia. It was lost to the Yagyuu family a long time ago. In order to prove that the casting technology of Nihon is not inferior to that of Huaxia, the Yagyuu family hired a skilled craftsman to make another imitation.
In our opinion, this imitation is exactly the same as the one from Huaxia. There is no difference. "Today, I brought both. As long as the experts in Huaxia can choose the real one, we will immediately give it to Huaxia.
"If the experts in Huaxia can't tell which one is real and which one is fake, then there is nothing we can do but keep it in Nihon. At the same time, it will prove that our casting technology is not inferior to that of Huaxia."
Qin Haodong thought to himself, It seems that Nihon has been preparing for this cultural exchange for a long time. Every move they made was a trap. If they were not careful, Huaxia would lose face.
It was a pity that the Nihon people had not expected that he, the reborn Immortal Emperor, would be involved. The two sheep heads looked the same to others, but he could tell at a glance that one of them was running the sealing formation of the Yiyuan Sect. It was obvious which one was real and which one was fake.
Guo Feng's face suddenly became serious. He was very clear about the significance of the 12 zodiac animals to Huaxia. If he missed the opportunity to take back the sheep head, he would not be able to forgive himself, not to mention the public opinion.
After Chiba Mieko finished speaking, she put the two sheep heads on the table and said to Guo Feng and Qin Haodong, "You two can start the appraisal. Don't miss this precious opportunity. Otherwise, as the old Huaxia saying goes, you will not be able to face your elders again!"
"Don't worry, we won't take the wrong thing." Qin Haodong said to Guo Feng, "Director Guo, let me have a look first. If I'm not sure, then you can take action."
Guo Feng knew that Qin Haodong was saving face for him. He said, "Brother Qin, you must take back the treasure of Huaxia."
"Don't worry, I won't let you down."
Qin Haodong walked in front of the two sheep heads. In order to distinguish them, he had pasted a number on them. The one with the magic formation was pasted with No. 1, and the fake one was pasted with No. 2.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Qin Haodong, expecting him to bring back the treasure of Huaxia.
Qin Haodong held the two sheep heads in his hands and looked at them. In fact, it was all for show. Then he put the sheep head No. 1 back into the wooden box. Everyone was stunned, including Chiba Mieko. She did not understand how he was appraising it.
Of course, he was not doing this to appraise it, but to deceive people. The moment the sheep head was put into the wooden box, he unlocked the sealing formation of the Yiyuan Sect. Then he used his divine mind to put the Upper Level Spirit Stone into the Storage Ring. Then he resealed it.
