Chapter 1221

Time turned back, and Li Du was stunned.

He thought that the reversal of time would only take a few years or even a few days at most. After all, this is a fake painting, which must have been forged recently.

But what appeared in his eyes was not the costumes of modern people. The painter was a foreigner, but he was wearing a long mandarin jacket and a cap that was more popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The woman sitting in front of him as a model was really like the painting. People dress the same.

The environment around the two is also completely different from modern times. The tables, chairs, screens, windows and doors are all like the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

Li Du gasped, and he was wrong, no, it was the little flying insect, this thing is really an antique, if someone puts so much effort into deception, then it is also a great work of art.

But this is unreasonable. The little flying insect is very sensitive to the energy of time and will never make mistakes. It is not interested in this painting, so it should not be an antique.

Scenes of time and scenes are rotated. The more Li Du sees, the more he concludes that this is a real antique. According to his experience of reversing time, it has existed for at least two hundred years!

After watching these scenes, he probably knew why the little flying insect had no interest in this painting.

After the painting was created, it was taken away, and then it was sealed with wax and buried.

There is also wax oil on the drawing paper. Li Du thought it was something made by a middle-aged man to deceive people. Now it seems that he misunderstood people.

Li Du was speechless. He looked at the painting and asked, "How much?"

The man hung his eyes and said, "Didn't you say this is a fake painting?"

Li Du said: "It looks like a fake painting to me, but the painting is really good. If you give a reasonable price, I can persuade my foreign friends to buy it."

The man stroked the goatee on his chin and said, "One million!"

Li Du directly stuffed the painting back for him, and said: "Go ahead and turn a corner. There is an Agricultural Bank there. According to my observation, there are at least tens of millions of banknotes in and out every day. Go inside Grab it."

The onlookers laughed even more cheerfully.

Li Du shook his head and wanted to leave. This painting is indeed old, but it may not be worth much. The artist's name is in English, and the name is SPOILUM. He has never heard of this person.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the man became anxious, and quickly stopped him and said: "Hey, hey, wait a minute, buddy, it's business, you ask for the price and pay back the money, right? If you really want to buy it, then give me a price."

Li Du squinted at him and said, "One thousand yuan."

The middle-aged man almost punched someone, he shouted: "This is an antique, will you give me a thousand yuan?"

Li Du said: "How about five hundred yuan plus a pennant?"

The middle-aged man said: "You don't come here, this thing is not a national treasure, so the government has no interest."

Li Du said: "Not only is it not a national treasure, but it is also not worth much, so if you give me a real price, how much is it?"

The middle-aged man hesitated and said, "At least one hundred thousand yuan."

"Ten thousand yuan."

"You scolded the next door, young people are scary, you are more ruthless than me." The middle-aged man couldn't help cursing, "50,000 yuan, no matter how cheap it is."

Li Du shook his head: "Then go find someone to buy it. It's not an antique at all, it's just a beautiful painting. Twenty thousand yuan, I don't want any more."

"Take a step back, 40,000 yuan!"

"It's 25,000 yuan. It's boring to keep talking about me leaving. It's a joke for foreign friends." Li Du said dissatisfied.

The middle-aged man stomped his feet and said, "Okay, 25,000, Ma De, I'm at a disadvantage. Anyway, I dug it from my own field, and 25,000 is also a free profit. Let you catch it."

It's very close to the bank, Li Du took him to the door of the bank and said, "You wait for me, I'll get the money."

The middle-aged man said: "Okay, you can take more, and prepare a total of 250,000 yuan."

Li Du asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man laughed: "I still have nine paintings at home. There are ten such paintings in total. Why don't you buy them together? I'll give you a cheaper price, ten for two hundred and forty thousand."

"So much?" Li Du was surprised.

The middle-aged man said: "It's all sealed in a box, some of which I haven't opened yet, real brothers, they are all antiques, definitely antiques."

Li Du thought about it for a while, went in and took 250,000 yuan, and said, "Let's go to your house, I have to inspect the goods, what if you pretend to be fake?"

The middle-aged man patted his chest and said, "How can I, Liu Shanyang, lie to people? What makes a living in the Jianghu is honesty, and I definitely pay attention to people!"

Li Du felt that he was unreliable, so he took money and drove to his home, which was also located in the suburbs of the county, but Li Du's home was in the northern suburbs, and his home was in the southern suburbs, so he didn't know him.

After entering his dilapidated house, Li Du understood why he felt that this guy's temperament was not right. He was a fortune teller. There were hexagrams at home, Taoist robes hanging on the wall, and flags and other things in the yard.

The largest flag is triangular in shape, printed on the front: Physiognomy, Fortune Telling, Naming, Renaming, Forecast, and printed on the back: Job Search, Lost Finding, Health, Marriage, Fortune, Career.

In addition, Li Du also saw a banner that read: National Formal Horoscope Fortune-telling Service Center.

Seeing Li Du looking at his home in astonishment, the middle-aged man sneered and said, "Why don't I give you a divination? Although I call myself Liu Shanyang, many people actually call me Liu Banxian."

Li Du smiled and said: "Don't, don't, my fortune can't stand your iron mouth and gold teeth, so hurry up and get the painting."

The middle-aged man opened a box wrapped in cowhide, and there were some scrolls inside, some were opened, and some were still sealed with wax oil.

Li Du called out the little flying insects to see the authenticity of these paintings, but as soon as the little flying insects came out, they quickly flew to the altar in the center of the room, and landed directly on the worshiped Taoist statue.

There is no doubt that this thing is also an antique.

Li Du calmed down, pretending to be casual and asked: "The statue you enshrined is not bad, will you sell it?"

The middle-aged man squinted at him and said, "Brother, I underestimated you, you are a master, it seems that I have to re-evaluate these paintings."

Li Du opened the bag, revealing dozens of brand-new hundred-yuan bills inside, "You can do whatever you want, if you don't sell them, do you really think these paintings are peerless masterpieces?"

Seeing so much cash, the middle-aged man immediately swallowed his saliva. He nodded quickly and said, "Yes, I sold it for a total of 240,000 yuan. But the red sandalwood patriarch in my family doesn't seem to sell it. You can't sell it when your family is ruined!"

Hearing what he said, Li Du understood that the other party knew the value of this Taoist statue, and it was absolutely impossible for him to miss it.

However, Li Du was quite satisfied with the harvest of these ancient oil paintings. They were worth more than 240,000 yuan. Especially since he could take them abroad and find suitable buyers in the United States, the value could be even higher.
