Chapter 102 Picture in Picture

"500 million, what are you kidding, just this rubbish landscape painting? Even the painting by Tang Baihu, the Four Great Talents, is not worth 500 million!"

"Master Wang, you are not mistaken, are you?"

"That's right, this painting is not worth 50! 500 million is too exaggerated!"

"It seems that Master Wang of Jingbao Pavilion is nothing more than that! He is the youngest treasure appraiser in China, and he is just in vain!"

Hearing Wang Xiaohu's words, all the spectators shook their heads suspiciously, and even some spectators already doubted the reality of Master Wang Xiaohu Appreciating Treasures.

Wang Xiaohu turned a deaf ear to everyone's doubts. He waved his hand towards everyone, motioning for everyone to be quiet. He looked at Long Aotian and continued: "The moon in the water is the moon in the sky, and the person in front of you is the person in the mirror. Paintings should have a hole in the sky!"

"You...impossible!"

Before Wang Xiaohu could finish his sentence, Long Aotian stood up from his seat with a thud, staring at Wang Xiaohu with flickering eyes, his expression changed wildly.

"Huh, I don't believe it. You can really see it. If you go on, I would like to hear what you can say!"

Thinking of the scene where Chen Yunfeng was dumbfounded by the picture scroll, Long Aotian's face regained his composure. He held it on the seat, tapped the table lightly, and looked at Wang Xiaohu coldly. .

"Hehe, the guest is able to bring such a valuable ancient painting to our Jingbao Pavilion for appraisal, it seems that he believes in the strength of our Jingbao Pavilion!"

If Wang Xiaohu meant something, he smiled lightly and continued: "Since this is the case, our Jingbao Pavilion will naturally not disappoint the trust of the guests. Of course, this picture scroll must be appraised clearly by the guests!"

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to grab the scroll, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, with a "stab" sound, the skin of the scroll was torn apart.

Seeing Wang Xiaohu's actions, all the onlookers were stunned for a moment, their faces full of bewilderment.

"What is Master Wang doing now? Why are you tearing up the painting again! Could it be that you can't identify it and want to destroy the corpse?"

"Last time, Master Wang smashed a clay pot!"

"By the way, when you said that, I really remembered. Since Master Wang became famous, it seems that every time he makes an appraisal, he either tears the painting or smashes the vat! This appraisal method is too overbearing!"

"It's well done, I've already disliked Long Aotian!"

"However, tearing up the painting is fun for a while, but the money still needs to be paid!"

Seeing that Wang Xiaohu reached out and tore up his family's ancient painting, Long Aotian couldn't sit still for a moment, he slapped his seat and yelled at Wang Xiaohu: "Bastard, what are you doing? That's my family's ancient painting. Hua, are you courting death?"

"Guest, don't get excited!"

Looking at the red-faced Long Aotian, Wang Xiaohu had neither sadness nor joy on his face.

He raised the picture scroll high, and said slowly to the people who were discussing: "I believe everyone is very curious about why this painting is worth 500 million. Now everyone should understand the mystery of it!"

Hearing Wang Xiaohu's words, all the spectators stared intently at the scroll in Wang Xiaohu's hand.

"This is... a picture-in-picture!"

"Hiss, there is still such an operation, how is this possible, it is not obvious at all!"

Seeing the picture scroll clearly, everyone gasped. It turned out that Wang Xiaohu had just torn off the skin of the scroll, and there was another picture scroll hidden under the skin. With the breath of time, it is not ordinary at first glance.

"You...how did you figure it out!"

Seeing the picture-in-picture naked in front of everyone, the arrogance at the corner of Long Aotian's mouth froze for an instant. He seemed to have been drained of strength and collapsed on the seat helplessly.

"Hehe, the painting within this painting, from the ink used on the rice paper and the brushstroke technique of the scroll, it can be seen that it is the work of Xinbai, a great calligrapher and painter in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Absolutely, this painting of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains has a smooth brush strokes and is completely natural. It can be seen that it is a work in his later years, and it can be called a handed down work, so it is definitely not a problem to buy more than 400 million yuan. , I set the price at 500 million, and everyone has any objections!"

With a faint smile on the corner of Wang Xiaohu's mouth, he opened the scroll in front of everyone's eyes.

"Sure enough, it is the authentic work of Xinbai, with such artistic conception, such style of writing, 500 million is worth it!"

"You can even see this, it's no wonder it's Master Wang, it's amazing!"

"Yes, in the future, when I buy antiques, I will look for the Jingbao Pavilion. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that Master Wang would be able to achieve such accomplishments at such an age!"

Looking at the painting within a painting, everyone was full of admiration, and looked at Wang Xiaohu with even more reverence.

"Master Wang? Why is there such an operation as picture-in-picture? I wonder if you can show us all?"

"Yes, it's obviously a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation. Why do you have to put a layer on the outside? Isn't it superfluous?"

Looking at the curious eyes of the crowd, Wang Xiaohu waved his hand to signal for everyone to be quiet. He stroked the scroll and said in a deep voice, "The so-called picture-in-picture is a kind of protection for this famous masterpiece handed down from generation to generation!"

"There were many wars and chaos in ancient times, and the lives of the people were rough. However, this famous painting handed down from generation to generation is extremely valuable, and it is even more convenient to carry than gold. Naturally, it has become the focus of snatching. I painted on the picture scroll, although his level is good, but it is mediocre, bandits, soldiers, disasters, etc., will naturally abandon this picture scroll!"

Wang Xiaohu put his hands behind his back, and continued like a learned elder: "So when you appraise calligraphy and paintings in the future, you must not stop at performance. Maybe an antique looks ugly, but it is actually a peerless treasure!"

"I have been taught, it is no loss that it is Master Wang, I admire it!"

"Listening to Jun's words is better than reading ten years of books. I suddenly feel that I have missed countless treasures!"

"Yes, I must have bright eyes in the future, if I can meet a picture-in-picture, I will get rich!"

Listening to the excited discussions of the crowd, Wang Xiaohu nodded with a wry smile.

Although he said so, but the picture-in-picture is extremely rare, how can it be so easy to touch, even if it is really touched, it is difficult to identify, if it is not because of the perspective ability of the palm of the hand, even he can't see it at all. There is no clue, let alone ordinary people.

"What? Long Shao, I wonder if you are satisfied with my appraisal result?"

Wang Xiaohu turned around and looked at Long Aotian with livid face and smiled faintly.

"you……!"

Long Aotian pointed at Wang Xiaohu, opened his mouth but couldn't speak.

He felt extremely bitter at the moment. He once vowed that he would teach Wang Xiaohu a profound lesson, but he never expected that he would make Wang Xiaohu's reputation. After this incident, he could think of it with his toes. He Jingbao Pavilion's reputation will definitely rise to a higher level, so how can he explain to that person!

"It's over!"

Thinking of that horror, Long Aotian's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
