Chapter 164 Willow Immortal Paper

When Li Raonian's eyes fell on the bird's feathers, his eyes lit up instantly.

"I found it, so it is!"

He took another careful look with the magnifying glass, and he was instantly relieved, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"What are the origins of these two paintings? I can't tell at all!"

"That's right, if you can't find the origin, and you can't identify the painting style, ink, brushstrokes, etc., won't you lose an important basis for identification? It's the third round, it's really difficult!"

"That's right, whether it's the porcelain vase or the flowers and birds, the information is obviously incomplete, and treasure appraisers are easily misled. This is clearly digging a hole! I don't know if Master Li can tell the difference!"

A group of audience members in the audience were extremely confused, especially those professional appraisers whose eyes were swollen from watching, but still couldn't find any clues.

"This painting is fake!" Just as everyone was struggling, Li Raonian suddenly said.

He scanned the crowd with burning eyes, finally landed on Wang Xiaohu, and said in an extremely arrogant tone: "Boy, who made this painting, can you tell?"

"I would like to hear the details!" Wang Xiaohu said calmly, squinting at Li Raonian.

To be honest, with his knowledge, he really couldn't see any clues about these two paintings, not to mention loopholes, even the origin information was nothing, but it didn't affect his knowledge of the authenticity of the paintings.

"Tch, young people should learn more humbly. The old man has traveled more roads than you have traveled across bridges. How can he make progress if he looks like a fool all day long!"

Li Raonian snorted coldly, and looked at Wang Xiaohu old-fashionedly, with the attitude of an elder: "Although you were lucky enough to get the name of a master, after all, your background is insufficient and your vision is limited. Anyway, I am naturally not a stingy person, so let me do it." Let me teach you something!"

He waved his hand lightly, and the hostess quickly presented the picture scroll in his hand.

Young Li Rao stroked the scroll and sneered: "Although there is no inscription, signature or any other information about the author on this painting, and even the brushwork and painting style are very ordinary, there is a hidden message left. As long as this message can be found, Then you can know who the owner of this painting is!"

"As expected of Master Li, this is the bearing of a master. Look at Wang Xiaohu's bewildered expression, what rubbish!"

"Even such a hard-to-identify picture scroll, you can find clues in it. Your uncle is still your uncle, and Jiang is still old and spicy!"

"Master Li, I don't know what the hidden information is?"

Listening to the discussions in the audience, Li Raonian's expression became more complacent.

"Ahem!" He cleared his throat, and said calmly: "This scroll is light and soft in the hand, the color is heavier than ordinary silk paper, but not tough enough, and the drawing paper is much rougher than ordinary drawing paper. Hidden in this drawing paper!"

"Paper?" Hearing Li Raonian's words, everyone looked suspiciously at the scroll's paper.

"Not bad! According to the painting style, it can be vaguely identified as the style of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. I believe everyone knows the great painter Tang Baihu!"

"Is this painting Tang Baihu's? No, Tang Baihu writes smoothly, the scroll is colorful, and the lines are more complicated and delicate. It is completely different from this painting!"

A knowledgeable treasure appraiser immediately raised a question with a tangled expression.

"Hehe, I didn't say it was Tang Baihu's painting!"

Li Raonian glanced at the appraiser, paused and continued, "Although this painting is not Tang Baihu's, it has something to do with him. Tang Baihu has a close friend named Wen Zhengming. This text is named after calligraphy civilization. It’s just dabbling, the level is average, this person has a strange mind, and he likes to study some new gadgets!”

"It is said that once again he was freehand under the willow tree, but he was not satisfied with even a few paintings. This was a willow leaf falling on his scroll, and the ink dyed willow leaf inspired him. Wen Zhengming used willow leaves as raw materials Make drawing paper and name it Liuxian Paper, although the name sounds nice, but the texture is far inferior to ordinary drawing paper, and the counterfeit is expensive, so it is naturally impossible to spread it, and it has become a joke for a while!"

"However, this Wen Zhengming ignores other people's ridicule, and never tires of the willow fairy paper he created. He uses this willow fairy paper as the drawing paper for all paintings. Of course, this is also likely to cause his poor painting skills. The important reason is Gao, and his paintings are not well-known in the first place, so it’s normal that everyone hasn’t heard of them!”

After listening to Li Raonian's explanation, everyone nodded repeatedly.

"Is this paper the willow fairy paper?"

A treasure appraiser asked curiously.

"That's right, this is the Liuxian paper. At that time, Tang Baihu's painting skills were spread all over the world, and it was very famous for a while. As Tang Baihu's friend, Wen Zhengming wanted to do the opposite and create a simple style, but due to lack of talent, The works he drew are so ordinary that he doesn’t even dare to stamp his signature, so the information on his paintings is extremely scarce!”

Li Raonian groaned, and said lightly, "Wen Zhengming used willow fairy paper for painting, and the fuel was only made of flowers and plants. Look at the bird feathers in this picture of flowers and birds. Although the color is not bright, the flowers and plants are more likely to fade. It should have been dim after hundreds of years, so... this painting is fake!"

"Then...!" He pointed to the second scroll, "This painting is certainly true!"

"Papa papa!" After listening to Li Raonian's words, the audience instantly remembered the applause one after another.

"Fortunately, Master Li is so powerful, I really learned a lot today!"

"Look at that Wang Xiaohu, standing on the stage like a fool, until now he dare not say a word!"

"Cut, that's right, so what if there's a shady scene, it's not like being slapped in the face by Master Li's strength, and now I'm probably so ashamed that I want to find a crack in the ground to sneak in!"

Li Raonian's eyes were arrogant and he stared at Wang Xiaohu with contempt and said, "Boy, do you... understand?"

"Well, I learned a lot, thank you!"

Wang Xiaohu nodded and grinned at Li Raonian.

I have to say that although this Li Raonian is not a good character, he is indeed worthy of praise and learning in the knowledge of appraising treasures. Today is really a vivid lesson for him.

Wang Xiaohu has always been a person who reciprocates, since the other party has taught him a lesson, he naturally cannot owe others a favor, so he has to teach the other party a lesson.

"Boy, you...don't admit defeat yet?"

Li Raonian looked at Wang Xiaohu with disdain and said coldly.

"Admit defeat? Hehe, I'm sorry, it's you who lost!"

Wang Xiaohu shook his head, squinting at Li Raonian showing two rows of white teeth.

Hearing Wang Xiaohu's words, there was an uproar in the audience.

"Really, is this kid crazy? How dare he say that Master Li lost!"

"It's so shameless. If he didn't rely on his shady background, he would be able to get here. He's not even worthy of carrying Master Li's shoes!"

Li Raonian blew his nose and stared angrily in an instant: "You bastard, are you still stubborn now? Wang Xiaohu, why do you have to humiliate yourself? I said it for this sake, what else can you refute! "

"Ahem!" Wang Xiaohu cleared his throat, and glanced at the noisy crowd: "Be quiet, Xiaohu Academy has started, please listen carefully!"
