Chu Xian has already made a breakthrough, so as long as he follows this line, he should be able to make some gains. Since the edict of the Holy Ancestor is fake, then it must be forged, but how can this forged thing be the same as the real thing?

Counterfeiting is also a science.

As long as it is knowledge, it has the value of inquiry.

Jingzhou Xitangkou.

This is a lively market in Jingzhou, and unlike other markets, it is an elegant place, and most of them are elegant things such as antique calligraphy and paintings.

Since ancient times, there have been the most fakes in this kind of thing, and some people can even make huge profits by confusing the real with the fake. In other words, in this Xitangkou, there are experts in counterfeiting.

Don't look at Chu Xian is already a Dao Immortal, but sometimes, Dao Immortal is not omnipotent, just say fake, Chu Xian's Yin Yang Phantom God Carp can create illusions, if a mortal steps into the illusion, it is absolutely impossible to distinguish the real from the fake. But in the same way, Chu Xian's illusion may not be able to deceive the Dao Immortals with strong spells, but the craftsmanship of mortal craftsmen may not even be able to distinguish between immortals.

One by magic, the other by craftsmanship.

If this kind of thing is said to other Dao Immortals, it is estimated that they will not believe it, but after Chu Xian cultivated into a Dao Immortal, he once looked away. Chu Xian likes calligraphy and painting, and he also collected some when he was in Jizhou, so he once regarded a fake as genuine, if it wasn't for a special craftsman who told Chu Xian later, Chu Xian wouldn't even be able to see it.

It's also that the fake is too real, it's not a trick, it's a genuine craftsmanship, every detail is the same as the real thing, and even in some places, it's more real than the real thing.

It's no wonder that Chu Xian will look away.

With this experience, Chu Xian decided to come to this Xitangkou to take a look, since Jingzhou is the center of the Holy Dynasty, there must be the best counterfeiting master here, probably the top of the Holy Dynasty, since the Holy Ancestor's edict is fake, come here to take a look, maybe you can find something.

The words of the Holy Ancestor are also imitated by famous people from all walks of life, and there are a lot of ink treasures left by the Holy Ancestor.

Of course, in addition to the words, there are also immortal seals.

However, Chu Xian planned to check little by little, solve the matter of the word first, and then explore the immortal seal.

Chu Xian came dressed as an ordinary person, and only followed Qi Chengxiang by his side.

This kind of exploration, Chu Xian is as low-key as possible, not to let others know, Qi Chengxiang is very strict, and he is very neat, with him can help a lot, as for Luo Yong and Chu San, still don't bring it, the height and physique of these two are the focus of everyone's attention wherever they go.

As for the female dependents in the family, they can't bring it.

Xitangkou is not small, divided into two streets, east and west, along the side of the shops are lined up, the people who come and go are also wealthy people, or there is such an official and a half-job, after all, this elegant thing, without silver, it can't be played.

And along the way, there are all kinds of copper coins, porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, and calligraphy, and even a dazzling array of calligraphy, but Chu Xian has his purpose, only looking at the words, and only looking at the copybooks and copies of the font of Taizong Shengzu.

In the 5,000 years of the Holy Dynasty, I don't know how many calligraphers have emerged, and to become everyone, not only must you have a high attainment in calligraphy, but also have to be known to everyone in terms of fame.

Of course, calligraphy is everyone's favorite and the most favorite treasure of collectors from all walks of life, but in fact, there are very few authentic works on the market.

Occasionally, one or two authentic works have long been snatched away by connoisseurs, and the rest are fakes.

But fakes are also bought, and many of them are bought as genuine, and the price is only high or low, which depends on whether the fakes copied can be faked and real.

Among them, there are not many words of Taizong Holy Ancestor, but it is definitely the most expensive, after all, the identity and status of the Holy Ancestor are over there, Chu Xian has come all the way, and there are only a few shops that have seen the calligraphy of Taizong Holy Ancestor, and the words in these shops are also uneven, although some of them are very similar to copying, but they can still see some clues and flaws, and there are also Taizong calligraphy in individual shops that are almost the same as the real ones, and it is difficult to see the clues.

But Chu Xian didn't go to these imitations that were most similar, but seemed to have randomly selected a flawed shop, and at a glance he knew that it was a copy of the Holy Ancestor's calligraphy.

Qi Chengxiang has no problem in the back, he is one of the people who are most familiar with Chu Xian, he knows that Chu Xian has never been untargeted in doing things, since he has chosen this family, there must be a reason.

Although the front of this shop is ordinary, after entering, the various furnishings and decorations are extremely elegant, and it can be seen that the owner of this shop is very particular.

Chu Xian glanced around, and the guys inside had already hurriedly greeted him.

"What do guests want to see? Our store has everything in calligraphy, painting, calligraphy, antique jade, and the price is fair, and the boy is not deceitful!"

As far as Chu Xian and Qi Chengxiang came in, although they were dressed ordinarily, Qi Chengxiang was majestic, and the position he was standing in was a special guard.

Chu Xian said: "Is there a true trace of the Holy Ancestor?"

The guy smiled: "I'm not afraid of the guests' jokes, we do this business, although many of them rely on the Mongolian people to make money, but to be honest, the true works of the Holy Ancestor, that is not, are copied, but both form and spirit, the guests buy it back and hang it in the study room in the house, and will definitely not give you a discount, after all, the real work of the Holy Ancestor, that is a rare treasure, not to mention our family, just say that this Xitangkou, none of them are true." ”

This guy is also the master of seeing people and talking about ghosts, and the reason why he came up to confess was because he could see that he couldn't afford to mess with the person in front of him, and he was definitely an expert.

Besides, if it is the work of other calligraphers, they can still fool the guests with the fake, but they don't dare to use the words of the Holy Ancestor.

After all, the word pretending to be the Holy Ancestor, with the false and true, this is a violation of the criminal law, and it is to be imprisoned, besides, the recent Emperor of the Holy Dynasty ascended the throne, and the entire Jingzhou has spread, and the emperor hates the most is not respecting the royal family and not respecting the Holy Ancestor.

Chu Xian nodded: "I know, just to find a statue, I also know that the words of the Holy Ancestor are rare, and the authentic works have become extinct, but this imitation must also be picked." ”

"That's it, guest, you're an expert, so I don't know which one to look at?" The guy smiled, Chu Xian shook his hands behind his back, and said: "Looking dizzy, it's better to take all the Holy Ancestor imitations, and I'll take a look." ”

The guy was stunned.

I've never seen this kind of purchase, who does this person think he is?

But open the door to do business, pay attention to harmony and wealth, although the guy is a little unhappy, but did not show it, at this time, there is a person behind him, the guy looked, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Shopkeeper, you're here. The man was very respectful, but the shopkeeper in his mouth was an old man with a smile on his face and some fat.

"Okay, you go and get busy, I'll entertain this guest. The shopkeeper commanded, and the man nodded and left.

After that, the shopkeeper came over and said to Chu Xian: "This guest, do you want to see the Holy Ancestor's calligraphy and imitations?"

Chu Xian nodded.

The shopkeeper said: "This guest, the words of the Holy Ancestor, we don't have many here, except for these few paintings, there are three or five, I will take them together." ”

After speaking, he went in for a moment, and then walked out with a few pairs of words, lined up, and placed them on the table.

Chu Xian got up and looked over one by one, he looked at it quite carefully, he didn't let go of any details, and the shopkeeper didn't bother, he had seen a lot of such guests, and the general rich master had a very strange temper, it didn't matter to him that you were weird, the important thing was to buy something, and that was enough.

After reading it for a long time, Chu Xian finished reading it, and his face showed a look of liking: "These words are deep in the mysteries of the Holy Ancestor's font, I like it very much, and the shopkeeper offers a price, and I want it." ”

"All of them?" The shopkeeper was also stunned, but he didn't expect to meet a gold owner today.

You must know that those who do their business generally do not open, and sometimes they can't sell a good thing for months, but if they sell a good thing, it is enough for them to last for several months.

After all, there is actually no standard price for this kind of literati Mobao, it is okay to say that it is worthless, and it is okay to say that it is worth a thousand gold, it all depends on whether anyone is willing to spend money.

The financier in front of him is obviously a willing to spend money.

So of course this shopkeeper likes it, so he is more respectful and careful with Chu Xian.

Chu Xian opened his mouth at this time: "By the way, I don't know who copied these words? But the shopkeeper ...... you."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, although I like to write and ink, the level is not good, especially the words of the Holy Ancestor, which has a kind of momentum, just the image is not enough, the god has to be like, I can't imitate this." ”

"I don't know which gentleman wrote these words, but I would like to visit and discuss the way of calligraphy. Chu Xian said.

When he came out of this shop, Chu Xian already knew what he wanted to know.

These shops are just doing business on weekdays, collecting calligraphy and paintings, and selling calligraphy and paintings, so generally these calligraphy are written by others, and many people rely on copying calligraphy to make a living.

These words were discovered by Chu Xian by accident, and he came to this Xitangkou just to try his luck, but he didn't expect to have a big gain. Just these words, although there are a lot of flaws on them, but Chu Xian can see that these flaws are deliberately made by the person who wrote, simply put, the other party can write more like, or even exactly the same, but it is deliberately showing flaws, probably for self-protection, ordinary people naturally can't see it, but Chu Xian's research on the Holy Ancestor font is already extremely accomplished, so he can see that this word is not simple.

The entire West Hall, imitating the font of the Holy Ancestor, writing these words, is definitely the best.

So Chu Xian asked the other party's residence clearly and planned to take a look.
