Chen Cha familiarly dragged a wooden easel from behind the bookcase and placed it next to the desk.
"When I saw it just now, this shelf is still there!" Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin with a smile and said, "Brother's first work."
"Not very well done."
"There's nothing bad about it. It's good if my father likes it."
"Later, I made a new one and put it in our study. I brought it over to replace this one, but my father said he didn't like it, so he kept using this one." Shen Haolin shook his head helplessly, "Look at these places. I’m irritable and I don’t know what my father likes about me.”
"It doesn't matter if you are frizzy or frizzy. My father doesn't care about it either. After all, this is my brother's first work. This is what my father cares about, right?"
"Yes, my father said so too."
"But..." Shen Cha laughed evilly, "It looks a little awkward, but it's still very practical."
"It's really practical. When I made it, I was afraid that it wouldn't be strong enough and would break after using it. So I didn't care about the raw materials at all and just used them in a very practical way. I didn't consider the beauty, and it ended up like this."
Seeing him like that, Shen Cha covered her mouth and smiled. When she saw him glancing at him lightly, she smiled even more happily.
"naughty!"
Shen Cha raised his eyebrows and leaned over to watch Shen Haolin hang the upper end of the scroll on the shelf and watch him untie the rope on the scroll to reveal the original appearance of the scroll.
The two of them stared at the picture for a long time, but neither saw anything.
"Brother..." Shen Cha stared at the painting and tasted it, "Not to mention, the painting is quite beautiful. Although he is not a famous artist, he has charm." She glanced at Shen Haolin, "Brother Do you know whose handiwork this is?"
"I can't tell, but it doesn't look like it was painted by my father or a master. This kind of painting is actually very common and it's really hard to tell." Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't matter who painted it, what he painted is is the key.”
"At first glance, it looks like a topographic map, but..." Shen Cha looked at Shen Haolin with a puzzled look, "It looks a bit like a landscape painting, right?"
"It should be both!" Shen Haolin stood in front of the landscape painting. "This place doesn't look like it was imagined by the painter. It should be real." He looked at Shen Cha, " Does it look familiar? Do you have any impressions?"
"No." Shen Cha shook his head gently, "Just from this painting, the scenery doesn't look like that of our Daxia, right?"
"Yes, this kind of scenery should only be found in Jin and Liao."
"I feel the same way, it's either the Jin Kingdom or the Liao Kingdom."
"Maybe it's the border with Jin and Liao." Shen Haolin touched his chin, "But it's more like the Kingdom of Jin."
"Looking at this scene of heavy snowfall, it's probably better in the Jin Kingdom. Don't the Jin people often say that they were born among black mountains and white waters?" Shen Cha nodded, leaned over and took a look, "The feeling in the painting, there is It's a bit similar, but this one..." She pointed to the mountains on the right separated by a stream, "It's very Liao style."
"You mean..." Shen Haolin pointed to the painting, "This painting could be the border between Jin and Liao?"
"Yes, that's what I think." Shen Cha nodded, "But if it's the junction of Liao and Jin, why aren't there any fortresses set up?" She pointed to the stream, "If there is only this stream, there is no way to prevent it. Anyone? If both parties wanted to go to the opposite side, wouldn’t it be easy? This should be considered a loophole? Didn’t they pay attention?"
"Not necessarily." Shen Haolin shook his head gently, "There should be soldiers stationed secretly, or...the two parties reached some agreement with the other party. There are three pillars here, and each has arranged people to station there. Father does not just collect them casually. It’s a painting, and it’s still hidden in such a secret place.”
"Brother is right, maybe there are no three pillars, there is only one dominant family." Shen Cha turned to look at Shen Haolin, "To put it another way, this might be the home base of the Green Lotus Sect, right?"
"The headquarters of the Green Lotus Sect is at the junction of Liao and Jin? This location is not very reasonable."
"Indeed, but what if this place is in a place that neither Liao nor Jin can control? Brother should know that there must be such a place. We are at the border with Liao, Jin, and the southwest border. There will always be places like this, which are either deserted or where grass bandits and horse bandits are rampant." Shen Cha yawned, "This place is probably in the same situation."
"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Shen Haolin agreed with her analysis and watched her walk over and touch the painting, "What's the problem?"
"There is something wrong with the painting." Shen Cha sighed softly and rolled his eyes helplessly, "Now it seems that we have fallen into a big trap."
"What did you say?"
Shen Haolin watched her go around the easel and start to look through the things in the desk. She couldn't find anything in the desk, so she went to rummage in the bookcase behind her.
"What are you looking for?"
"Tools for uncovering paintings." Shen Cha opened several cupboard doors and looked around, but there was nothing he was looking for. He sighed softly, "Forget it, I'll bring one in later." She stood He stood up and pointed at the painting, "There's something wrong with this thing. There's a big problem."
"You mentioned the tools for uncovering paintings, do you think there are paintings in this painting?" Seeing Shen Cha nodding, Shen Haolin walked over and took a look. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head gently and said, "I didn't see it!"
"The method of identification is what the master taught me before. I know how to do it." Shen Cha sighed, "This method is rarely used by people anymore. After all, it is very troublesome. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted. The master once said, the more you Things that few people know, the more they need to be mastered. On the one hand, these skills should not be lost, and on the other hand, if you encounter such a situation, you don’t need to ask others, just do it yourself.”
"It's high-sounding." Shen Haolin shook his head helplessly, "We were all young at that time, so we did whatever the adults said and learned whatever the adults told us to do without thinking too much."
"Art should not be too stressful. This is what our parents and masters have always told us." Shen Cha stretched out, carefully took off the painting, rolled it up and put it back in the long box, "Let's talk about it tomorrow. , even if there is something today, I can't do it." She walked to Shen Haolin, leaned against him, looked at the study, and sighed softly, "I thought I could blow away the fog and see Unexpectedly, the original fog has not been blown away, but more confusion has been added to the truth, making it increasingly difficult to determine the truth."
