"...Everyone knows that the Kong family should have many iron scrolls of alchemy books, but they have never found any real objects."

At this time, Mr. Qian continued to laugh and said, "Some people speculate that it may be that when the dynasty was changed, the Kong family destroyed the iron scrolls of the previous dynasty from their cautious dynasty, so they did not pass on the physical objects. But now seeing half of the iron scrolls of the alchemy books you found can overturn this conclusion."

"Is that half of the piece the left scroll or the right scroll?" Wang Guan asked carefully. If it was an iron scroll of alchemy from the Tang Dynasty, then the left scroll would be kept by the Kong family, while the right scroll would be in the palace treasury.

If it is the left volume, it is indeed something from the Kong family; if it is the right volume, it is hard to say. After all, during the Anshi Rebellion of Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was defeated by the rebels, and the palace treasury must have been robbed, so many things were lost to the people, perhaps the right volume of the iron scroll of the alchemy book was also included.

Mr. Qian also understood what Wang Guan meant and smiled easily, "It must be the left scroll. If it is the right scroll, there is no need to call you specifically. But then again, it is indeed a pity that only half a piece of iron scroll of the alchemy book."

"That's it..." Wang Guan deeply agreed.

"Forget it, you can't force such things." Mr. Qian paused and then asked, "How is the matter done?"

"It went very smoothly. Director Wu was very enthusiastic and was very assigned to our work." Wang Guan smiled and said, "But in a hurry, there were some omissions. With our reminder, he also sent someone to adjust."

"That's good."

Mr. Qian was a little satisfied, and then hesitated and said, "So, you should be more leisurely now."

"Yes, the inspection was completed in the morning, and they adjusted in the afternoon. We will check it again tomorrow morning." Wang Guan saw the truth and immediately said, "Old Qian, if you have something to do, just give me instructions. I'm idle."

"Actually nothing is wrong," Qian Lao explained: "I have an old friend who lives in the provincial capital of Shandong Province. If you have time, visit me and greet me."

"Okay, where is the address, I'll go right away." Wang Guan agreed readily. He sighed in his heart that Mr. Qian is really acquainted with all over the world and has old friends everywhere.

However, after Mr. Qian's detailed explanation, Wang Guan suddenly realized that his old friend was not simple. Yan, whose surname was Yan Hui, was said to be a descendant of Yan Hui, and no matter how bad he was, he was a member of the Yan clan.

Speaking of which, Yan Hui had never been an official and had no works left behind. However, as the most proud disciple of Confucius in his life, his words appeared in the Analects of Confucius, and his thoughts were highly consistent with Confucius. Many people think that if Yan Hui had not passed away before Confucius, he would probably have been the successor of Confucius's robe.

No matter what, in the eyes of later generations, Yan Hui is also a saint. Re-saint!

In ancient times, there were four people who worship Confucius next to Confucius, which is called the so-called "Sacred Yan Zi", Zong Sheng Zeng Zi, Shu Sheng Zi Si, Sub-Sacred Mencius, and Resacred Yan Zi ranked first among the seventy-two sages. From this we can also know how high his status was in the minds of the ancients.

Of course, this is not the point. After all, no matter how powerful the ancestors are, it is the ancestors' own ability. If future generations are not successful and cannot be helped, there is no way. However, as Mr. Qian's friend, Mr. Yan did not embarrass his ancestors. He is a person with real talent and knowledge and very low-key.

If it weren't for Mr. Qian's explanation, Wang Guan really wouldn't know that there was a big Buddha hidden in the folk countryside. At this moment, under Mr. Qian's suggestion, he naturally went to worship the Buddha.

After a while, Wang Guan came to the downtown city. The so-called "small hidden in the wilderness and big hidden in the city" means Mr. Yan living in seclusion in the bustling downtown city. This is quite a training of mind and a bit like reading books in the fire.

The mind is actually a matter of concentration. If you are focused enough, even if the downtown city is noisy, you can still calm down and do your own things. If you don’t have any concentration, you will only sleep in a quiet and peaceful environment, rather than concentrate on reading.

At this time, Wang Guan entered the downtown area and immediately heard the noise, rising and falling, and continuous. Under the cover of these noises, he asked himself, it would be okay to stay here for a few days, but after a long time, he would definitely be nervous. To put it bluntly, it was still a problem with his state of mind. Young people are still too young and have no concentration.

Wang Guan shook his head, then looked at the surrounding environment, then asked about the situation from passers-by. After a while, he arrived in a relatively spacious street. There were shops and shops on both sides of the street, which were all about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and it was quite lively.

After walking along the way, he saw a shop that operates the four treasures of the study. After looking at the signboard, Wang Guan immediately smiled and walked straight in.

After entering the door, Wang Guan looked at the store situation and saw that the store was about 30 square meters and was arranged very elegantly. There were many study objects placed in the glass counter, most of which were brushes, and various types of brushes were available. They were inserted in bamboo tubes with unique shapes, making them very elegant.

However, with Wang Guan's eyesight, we can see that these things are of good quality, so the price is relatively high, which naturally makes the store's business relatively deserted. At first glance, there are no other customers in the store except itself.

Oh, by the way, there is also the boss.

At the right time, Wang Guan noticed that in the corner of the store, an old man with sparse hair was flipping through a very thick book with relish. And because he was too focused, he did not pay attention to the customers coming to the store.

"Excuse me……"

Wang Guan hesitated for a moment, immediately stepped forward lightly, and said respectfully: "You are Mr. Yan."

Hearing the sound, the old man came back to his senses in a daze. He looked up and narrowed his eyes slightly: "...what do you want to buy?"

"Don't buy anything." Wang Guan shook his head and smiled: "I'm looking for Mr. Yan."

"Look for Lao Yan?"

Unexpectedly, the old man was obviously not the one Wang Guan was visiting. He said casually: "He went out for something and went out to travel around the country and the river. It will take a few days before he came back. I was entrusted by him to help see the store for a few days. What are you looking for him to do?"

"Well……"

Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, feeling that it was really a coincidence, and explained with some regret: "I was also entrusted by someone to visit Mr. Yan and convey my greetings."

“…so.”

Hearing this, the old man became more enthusiastic and took the opportunity to inspire him: "Sit down and have a cup of tea."

Although it happened, Wang Guan didn't want to leave in a hurry like this, so he nodded and sat down, and expressed his gratitude in time when the old man poured tea and water.

"You're two days late." After pouring the tea, the old man put down the kettle and said with a smile: "Just three days ago, I don't know what happened. Lao Yan's interest suddenly came and ran to the beach to have fun."

"Do you want to sketch and paint?" Wang Guan said curiously.

"Um."

For a moment, the old man was a little surprised and then smiled and said, "It seems that the person who asked you to visit is indeed a friend with a good relationship with Lao Yan, otherwise he would not know that he was a painter."

"It's not only a painter, but also a great painter with high standards." Wang Guan smiled and said, "Old Yan has a very noble character. He only paints and does not sell paintings, so he is not known."

"He is not here, so there is no need to flatter him."

The old man said a joke and nodded in agreement: "But you are right, Lao Yan's calligraphy and paintings are indeed very good. Unfortunately, he was very stingy and asked him to help him draw a few pictures, so he was just pushing the three things and was not at all happy."

"hehe……"

Wang Guan couldn't take on this sentence, so he had to replace his words with laughter. He had never seen how good Mr. Yan's calligraphy and paintings were, and it was difficult to evaluate it.

But Wang Guan believed that Mr. Qian would not lie. After all, a painter has been painting for decades without being affected by any commercial economy. He is very focused on painting. He must be no less than that. For such pure people, modern society should not find many people. No matter how poor he is, he should be so proud of him.

The most important thing is that people’s paintings do not seek fame and fortune, but are real hobbies. Not as a profession, it is purely a hobby, a kind of love that comes from the heart, and their own interests. It is often said that interest is the best teacher, but many people are just a temporary interest and three minutes of popularity, and not everyone can persevere.

If someone can persevere, you can't. This is the gap. What reason do you have not admire him? This perseverance alone is enough to keep people respectful.

At the right time, the old man casually said: "Of course, if you have time, you can wait two more days, and he will definitely come back."

While speaking, the old man smiled and said, "In two days, the provincial capital museum will hold a treasure exhibition. He will definitely not miss it. He will definitely come back before the exhibition."

"That's good." Wang Guan nodded immediately when he heard this, "It happened that I had something to do, so I had to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days, and then come over to visit Mr. Yan."

The old man nodded slightly and said with interest: "Tell me, who asked you to visit me, maybe I know you too."

"...It's Mr. Qian from the capital." Wang Guan hesitated a little, did not hide it, and told it according to the truth.

"The surname is Qian?"

The old man thought for a while and shook his head and said, "I don't know you."

Wang Guan smiled, but he didn't think it was strange. After all, the old man didn't look like a person in the circle, so it was normal for Mr. Qian to do so. However, after chatting for so long, he still didn't know the other party's background. He was also curious and asked: "What do you call the old man?"

"Sir Duan." While speaking, the old man touched his pocket, took out a business card and handed it over: "If you have any needs in this regard, you can talk to me."

"oh!"

Wang Guan took the business card with both hands, looked down and showed a strange expression on his face. The business card was very clean, without many fancy titles, just a relatively simple name.

Of course, there is also contact information. However, behind the name and contact information, there is a faint watermark. The watermark is vivid and looming, making people know what it is after seeing it.

"Compass?" Wang looked at it, naturally very surprised.

“See this sign.”
