After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 323: Are you a fellow countryman?
Xu Bo'an still has great curiosity and expectations for everything in bonsai.
After all, for a place where the authentic works of Li Bai can be found, it is normal for another treasure of Chinese civilization to appear.
There is no way that in the world of bonsai in Nuo Da, there is only one treasure like this.
There is something to say.
When you find a cockroach in your home, believe me, there are already countless cockroaches in your home, they just haven't been discovered yet.
This metaphor seems inappropriate here, but the meaning is roughly the same.
If someone can bring Li Bai's original work into the world of bonsai and make it a collection of treasures for the rich and powerful, then there is a high probability that he will bring in a second, third and more similar items.
This is just like the so-called hot products. When you find a product that is selling well, you will make additional orders for it. It’s impossible to say that I won’t make any money from this money or other benefits.
Even if it is possible to only bring in an authentic work by Li Bai for the sake of the unique rarity of the item, Chinese civilization is profound, profound and has a long history. In addition to Li Bai, there are many calligraphy and painting works to choose from.
These calligraphy and painting masterpieces from various categories, even if one person only picks one to bring in, it is a large volume. Not to mention it’s impossible to pick just one.
Therefore, Xu Bo'an is not surprised at all that the man in white can find his favorite calligraphy and painting works according to his own preferences.
Xu Boan was just curious about what the other party would bring to him.
After all, as someone who dared to fight against the Duan family boy and the servant who obviously had an extraordinary background, the man in white must have a good background.
Seeing the man in white kneeling in front of him, waiting expectantly for his reply, Xu Bo'an said lightly: "Haha, you guys do have your heart."
The man in white suddenly looked overjoyed when he heard Master Cheng Huang's response. The smile on his already smiling face became even wider.
With such a flat tone, one could immediately tell that Grandpa Shan Shen was willing to accept his gift.
It is well known that the mentality of gift givers is that the recipients will not want their things.
As long as you are willing to accept it, anything can be said.
The man in white immediately said excitedly: "Lord City God, this item is one of the top ten treasures in the inner treasury of the Imperial Palace of Chu. It is hundreds of years old. Please take a look at it, Lord City God.
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
This guy's identity is definitely extraordinary. Otherwise, he can easily get the things in the palace? What's more, it's one of the top treasures.
While speaking, the man in white picked up a rectangular wooden box next to him, carefully pushed open a small mechanism-like thing on the side, and then the wooden box slowly opened.
Then, a scroll on yellow satin caught Xu Boan's eyes.
The scroll is also wrapped with a palm-wide piece of red silk, with a few words written on it.
Just one glance made Xu Boan's heart beat faster.
Although most of those words were marked in the language of bonsai, Xu Boan happened to know those simple words.
Two of the characters were written directly in Chinese characters that Xu Boan was familiar with.
"Collection of King Lingyun of Chu: Ink Treasure of Tang Yin, the Homeland."
Among these characters, the word "Tang Yin" is written in Chinese characters, and I have to say that the writing is pretty good, better than Xu Bo'an's own calligraphy before.
The moment he saw these words, Xu Boan's mind suddenly turned over and over again.
Needless to say, Tang Yin's name is Tang Bohu, one of the four famous Jiangnan talents.
The popularity of this talented man is probably second only to a few people such as Li Bai. And many of his stories have been made into movies and TV series.
As a cultural person, Tang Bohu had no fame. You can understand the specific reasons. However, it is precisely because he did not enter officialdom that he left a strong mark in the history of literature and art, especially his paintings. It is a best-selling and expensive collection all over the world.
Li Bai's calligraphy is a national treasure and belongs to the country. No one can own a copy of it alone.
Some of Tang Bohu's paintings are circulated among the people. Therefore, compared to things that have a price but no market, treasures that are pragmatic and can be converted into money will be sought after by more people.
But that's not what excited Xu Bo'an. With Li Bai's authentic pearls and jade in front of him, Tang Bohu's paintings are also very exciting, but at least they are not as exciting as when he first saw the antiques from his hometown in another world. .
What makes Xu Bo'an even more excited is the text on the red satin belt.
What does the word "motherland" mean?
This is very thought-provoking.
Judging from the literal meaning, "motherland" has two meanings.
The first meaning is that it refers to the country of the hometown. If this is really the case, then there is no doubt that this king of Chu came from the same world as Xu Boan.
The second meaning can be understood as a dead country or a disappeared country. From this understanding level, it means that these people in their bonsai world believe that other civilizations and countries once existed in this world, and the source of this work is the country they think once existed.
This is just like the existence of Atlantis civilization, Loulan ancient country and other civilizations in Xu Boan's cognition.
Perhaps these people in the bonsai just saw this kind of calligraphy and painting with unfamiliar words and concluded that it was just handed down from a certain civilization many years ago.
If it is the second reason, there is no need to say anything. It's just that people have mistaken history. This painting and the words on the painting come from a lost historical civilization that they have not recorded.
But if it is the first type, then the experience of this King of Chu is enough to arouse Xu Bo'an's full interest.
After he traveled through time, how did he go from a simple time traveler to singing all the way to the throne of king?
The picturesque mountains and rivers are all pictures of the king; thousands of people of the same kind are all the king's ministers. The feeling of having control over the world is really fascinating.
But if he was really a time traveler, how could he be defeated by others, allowing Jing Chao to unify the world?
Xu Boan remembered that he had heard Chen Shishihe say before that the Chu State was the most powerful country back then, much more powerful than Jing State.
As Xu Boyan's mind was turning over and over again, he saw the man in white holding the scroll with both hands carefully and raising it high above his head.
Xu Bo'an stretched out his hand, grabbed it with Void, and grabbed the scroll in his hand.
Then, he raised his hand and pulled out the red silk that bound the scroll, and the scroll unfolded smoothly and smoothly.
A landscape painting suddenly appeared in front of Xu Boan. "Xishan Gathering Picture"!
The first thing to bear the brunt are these big characters.
Okay, never heard of it. Xu Bo'an's eyes only glanced once, and then he was engrossed in the content of the scroll.
This painting depicts a scene of an elegant gathering of literati in the mountains of Spring River.
On the scroll, a clear stream meanders through, with gurgling water and sparkling waves. Green hills face each other on both sides of the strait, with green trees and blooming flowers.
In the middle of the painting, a group of literati are sitting or standing, reciting poems and painting, or playing the piano and discussing Taoism, enjoying the tranquility and harmony of spring.
These literati have different images and extraordinary temperaments. They either wore wide robes with big sleeves, or wore square scarves and held feather fans. Their manners revealed an otherworldly elegance and calmness. Their expressions, whether they are thinking, smiling, or talking, all appear very natural and vivid. Around them are placed various Four Treasures of the Study, such as inkstones, brushes, rice paper, etc., which demonstrate their profound cultural heritage and artistic accomplishment.
In the distance, natural elements such as mountains, clouds, and flowing water are integrated into one, showing a hazy and profound artistic conception.
It makes viewers seem to feel the tranquility and comfort of being away from the hustle and bustle and returning to nature.
Xu Boan nodded slightly, his painting style was quite similar to that of Tang Bohu. After all, the romantic and talented Tang Bohu was not called for nothing.
Xu Bo'an looked at it casually for a while and then put the scroll away. He was not as excited as when he got the authentic work of Li Bai just now.
After all, with Li Bai's authentic works of pearls and jade in front of it, although the value of this painting is also very high, it is somewhat inferior in comparison. At least that's how it feels to one's senses.
But Xu Bo'an also knew that this was just his own judgment from a value level and an emotional level. For these people in the bonsai world, the value of a picture scroll far exceeds the value of a word.
After all, picture scrolls are like historical materials. In picture scrolls, they can understand history in more detail, but poetry-like texts do not have this additional function.
Xu Boan's action was extremely simple, but in the eyes of the man in white, he was dumbfounded.
The man in white only saw the scroll flying out of thin air, and then stretched out automatically without wind. While marveling at the miracle, he was even more grateful that he had left and returned this time.
This ability, this style, is absolutely immortal.
Human subjective will is very strong. When you believe in the existence of something, your thoughts will subconsciously move closer to it.
The man in white was secretly rejoicing that he had the opportunity to meet the gods when he heard Master Cheng Huang ask: "Your name is Kuangren Chu, right?"
The people in white clothes were overjoyed again. Lord City God had already begun to ask me my name. This was a sign that he was willing to accept me and get to know me.
Yes, this gift is not given in vain.
The man in white hurriedly said: "Lord City God can just call the villain Feiyun. Chu Feiyun is the villain's real name. Madman is just a nickname people give to the villain, and it should not be taken seriously."
When Xu Bo'an heard this, his heart moved slightly and he almost laughed out loud.
Chu Feiyun? Go ahead, this name is a bit interesting.
It's just that your appearance is a bit bad, and it's not on the same level as Brother Yunfei's handsome and resolute appearance.
"Chu Feiyun, that's a good name." Xu Bo'an complimented casually, which was a good signal to Chu Feiyun.
When Chu Feiyun heard this, he was indeed very happy. He immediately smiled and said: "Thank you, Lord City God, for the compliment. My father gave me this name. It is said that when I was just born, a cloud of mist suddenly rose in the yard outside the house. It slowly rises into the sky and reaches the sky, hence the name. "
Xu Boan did not continue the discussion about the name with him. After all, he simply gave the other party a sweet date core and had no intention of communicating with him in depth about this trivial matter.
Xu Boan asked directly: "Let me ask you, do you know where this Chu King Lingyun got this painting?"
Chu Feiyun hurriedly replied: "The words of Lord Hui Chenghuang are not from King Chu Lingyun, but from King Chu, Ling, and Yun."
Chu Feiyun spoke almost word for word.
Xu Boan was confused and asked doubtfully: "Oh? What's the difference?"
Chu Feiyun said: "King Chu is the king of Chu State, Ling is the name of the king, and Yun means speech. The whole sentence means the speech of King Ling of Chu State."
When Xu Bo'an heard this, he realized that he was in trouble for making a joke. Suddenly I felt like I was blushing. Fortunately, I couldn't see the color of his skin here.
The word "cloud" also means "speaking" in ancient China. Xu Bo'an still remembers that there were such expressions in many ancient texts when he was in school.
For example, in the "Inscription on a Humble Room", "Confucius said: Why is there such a thing as shabby?"
In addition, the idiom "people follow what others say" is also a good expression.
It's just that it's difficult for Xu Bo'an to connect these knowledge points. After all, the word "Ling Yun" is an excellent and complete vocabulary in Xu Bo'an's cognition.
Cultural differences are sometimes as simple as that.
Xu Bo'an calmed down and continued to ask: "Then tell me how he got this painting."
Chu Feiyun shook his head and said: "Sir, Lord Hui Chenghuang, let me tell you that I was born into the royal family of the King of Chu. According to the blood relationship, the king is my second great-grandfather.
I don’t know the specific circumstances of the king’s incident. I just heard my grandfather mention it when I was a child. It was said that it was passed down in the family that my great-great-grandfather, the second great ancestor, loved this painting very much. This painting has always been hanging in his study. Even when I go to other bedrooms to sleep at night, I take this painting with me. Only later after the new king ascended the throne did the painting be returned to the inner treasury for collection. "
Xu Bo'an guessed that Chu Yunfei was most likely a relative of the king of Chu, but he never thought that his blood relationship with the royal family was so pure.
Xu Bo'an asked: "It seems that you were born into a wealthy family. Your family must have a long history, right? There must be a genealogy!"
Xu Bo'an thought very simply. If the Chu family has a genealogy, it means that this king Chu Ling is not a fellow countryman who came from time to time. But people who are born and raised in this world.
Chu Feiyun nodded and said with pride: "Of course there is, but the history of our Chu family is not long. The Chu State is the country with the shortest time in this land. In troubled times The expansion of territory and the creation of a piece of the world are all the work of the second great ancestor.”
When Xu Bo'an heard this, his eyes widened immediately and he asked hurriedly: "You mean, Chu Ling was the one who conquered the country of Chu."
The family has a short history, and he is the founding king. The more he hears this, the more people suspect that he is the one who masters the method of bonsai time travel.
Could it be. Is this Chu Ling really his fellow countryman?
Xu Boan couldn't help but have doubts.
