MTL - Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes-Chapter 1015 Three Great Skills

  Chapter 1015 Three Great Skills

  Yang Yang had a little understanding, she thought for a while and said: "Master, according to what you said, in fact, our sect's 'Finger Debate' is not one-size-fits-all."

"That's right, you can figure it out so quickly, which means that you have really enlightened. As I said, there are actually many ways to identify whether an object is a real old object. The method of 'flicking the fingers and distinguishing the sound' is not a one-time method. You can take all moves, and what I want to tell you is that even if it is the same move, the skills will be different according to the individual's understanding."

  Li Mo held up the plum vase, clasped his hands together, and the plum vase began to spin in mid-air. His hands are very flexible, the porcelain is also in his wrist, and his arm is rolling. Then he held it across his arms with his left hand, flicked his fingers with his right hand, and the porcelain immediately made a crisp sound.

  The sound gradually weakens and disappears.

   "Yangyang, has there been any change in the sound made by the porcelain just now?"

  Yang Yang shook his head slightly: "Except for the change from strong to weak, there is no obvious change in the sound."

"Fingering and defense training is your hearing. Different shapes of porcelain make different sounds. Two identical porcelains should sound the same. There will be differences in different positions, and of course this difference cannot be distinguished with your current ability. What you need to train in the future is to listen to various percussion sounds, to feel how they are transmitted, to feel how they are What changes in the delivery process."

Yang Yang was silent for a while before he said: "Master, what you mean is that if the porcelain is old and new, then no matter how clever the fake appearance is, they are actually two separate pieces put together in essence, and the seams are the flaws." , the sound will change when it encounters a seam during transmission.”

  Li Mo nodded approvingly, this kid is really talented. Maybe she doesn't understand what physics is yet, but as long as she can realize and grasp such subtle changes, that's enough.

  As long as this can be achieved, it is enough to explain many invisible problems of a certain piece of porcelain.

   "The porcelain on the Bogu shelf is complete, spliced, or damaged. They are all ordinary porcelain. You can use it casually, and you can replenish it at any time if it is broken."

   "Yes, Master."

Li Mo nodded, and laid out a painting: "The first move 'Finger Debate' tests your hearing ability, and the second move 'Heavenly Hand' tests the sensitivity of your fingertips. For example, the calligraphy and painting in front of you is an old painting, probably from the beginning of the Republic of China, but it was eaten by moths due to improper storage. I asked someone to restore it. Now, let’s see if you can see it with the naked eye. What's the flaw in it?"

  Yangyang took a closer look, and changed several angles, using different light levels for comparison.

   "Master, there are almost no flaws, I can't see it."

Li Mo smiled and said, "You're right if you can't see the flaws. This is Master Nangong's unique restoration skill. Not to mention you, even calligraphy and painting experts can easily drill holes. But you can touch this place with your fingers, and then Touch this place."

  Yang Yang did so, she was wearing gloves at first, but Li Mo asked her to take them off and touch them with her fingertips. Because the painting was not of much value, he asked someone to restore it so that Yang Yang could directly feel the subtle differences with the skin of his fingertips.

   "Master, these two places feel the same, but there seems to be some difference."

"Don't worry, the sensitivity training of fingertips hasn't officially started yet. Of course, if you can really distinguish the subtle differences for the first time, then the master will be very happy, because your talent is better than the master's." high."

  Li Mo told her about the two differences, which are invisible to the naked eye, but subtle changes can be found through the touch of sensitive fingertips. That is the difference in the paper, and there must be a difference between the repaired and spliced ​​parts and the original ones.

"Of course, the most direct way to identify calligraphy and painting is to understand the characteristics of the paper used in each era, and to understand the artistic style of each painter and calligrapher. This requires you to go to the museum to see and feel constantly. Especially famous artists For works, you need to understand their background of the times, the layout characteristics of the works, conception, structural levels, etc., and the seal style."

   "Master, I feel that Tiangong's hand is slower than finger recognition."

  Yang Yang felt a lot of pressure.

   "It must be more difficult. The real skill of Tiangong's hand is not to let you simply identify the paper."

   "Master, I don't understand."

  Li Mo lit the five candles on the table, then drank his saliva and sprayed it on the painting. Immediately, many places were wet with rain. If it is not dealt with in time, this calligraphy and painting will be completely useless.

  Suddenly, Li Mo stretched out, grasped and shook his hands, and the whole calligraphy and painting was already floating up, and then Li Mo was seen floating over the flames with the calligraphy and painting.

  Keep a certain distance between the calligraphy and painting and the flame, and you can see that the position of the painting is constantly changing, so that the calligraphy and painting are heated evenly. Yang Yang stared at it without blinking. It looked simple, but it was not the case at all.

   After about twenty minutes, Li Mo moved the calligraphy and painting to the table and spread them out.

   "Yangyang, take another look."

  Yangyang looked closer and carefully, and finally exclaimed: "There is almost no change."

   "Nowadays, there is some strength. Whether it is a museum or a private collector, the collection of calligraphy and painting uses the Sanheng system. In the past, there was no such condition, so treasures that are not properly collected are prone to insects, damp rot, and dry deformation."

Li Mo walked up to Yang Yang and said: "For example, if you pick up the damp calligraphy and painting just now, if you pick it up too hard, it will be easy to tear your arms. When baking with a candle flame, if you get too close, it will be ignited accidentally. If it is too far away, the drying effect will be lost. So how to grasp this distance needs to be honed slowly by yourself. At the same time, pay attention to the moving speed so that the damp place can be heated evenly, otherwise the calligraphy and painting will be damaged .”

   "Master, it looks simple, but it sounds so difficult."

Li Mo tapped her on the head lightly and said with a smile: "I formally studied art with your master at the age of six, and became a teacher at the age of nineteen. It is impossible to study hard. Don't worry, keep a good attitude, hone slowly, and wait One day I suddenly became enlightened, everything is a matter of course."

   "Master, how can I make my fingertips more sensitive?"

   "What's the rush, you'll soon know what it's like to be in a world of ice and fire."

   After Li Mo finished speaking, he walked to the shelf and moved a square tripod, which was more than forty centimeters high and twenty-five centimeters wide, and the surface was covered with red and green flowers.

"Yangyang, come here again to take a look at this Fang Ding. The third trick of our sect to identify bronze wares is called 'High Mountain and Flowing Water'. In fact, this trick is easy and easy, and it is also difficult to say. This trick is well practiced. It's pure power."

As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, he slapped Fang Ding with both hands, and suddenly a dull and loud voice sounded, because the force was too great, the entire Fang Ding trembled violently on the table, and then he saw the red and green rust on the surface of Fang Ding peeling off .

   "Yangyang, do you see anything?"

  Yang Yang picked up a piece of red and green rust that fell off, thought for a while and said: "Master, these red and green rusts are like sticking to the surface of the square tripod. When Fang Ding is subjected to external force, the red and green rust will be shaken off."

"That's right, this is the most obvious difference between authenticity and fake bronze ware. The real bronze ware has been oxidized slowly for thousands of years, even from the inside out, just like the color of jade. And the fake bronze ware in front of me uses artificial means to cause a violent chemical reaction on the surface of the bronze ware in a short period of time, thus forming red and green rust and adhering to the surface of the bronze ware, just like rootless duckweed, which will shake under the action of external force Falling down. The third trick of our sect, Gaoshan Liushui, is the least technical if you want to say how miraculous it is.”

"I once encountered a bronze ware that was auctioned off by someone from a well-known auction house. From the outside, it looked flawless to the naked eye, but in fact, a high-power inspection instrument found that the bronze ware was full of cracks. It is the later generations who cheated, so it has the same concept as the old porcelain and the new porcelain.”
