034, We're all the first time

Now that I want to repair this volume of "Fangwai Tu Zhi", Wu Taixun, a master of the Book of the Sect, was even more difficult to repair the Lotus Sutra. For the damaged ancient scrolls, time is the greatest harm. After all, seventy years have passed.

After returning to the apartment that day, Ding Qi called Ye Xing and told him about his latest discovery. "Fangwai Tu Zhi" has been found, but it must be repaired by experts, otherwise it will not even be able to read it. He also sent the photo of the thing to Ye Xing's mobile phone to give the other party an intuitive understanding.

Ye Xing was ecstatic at first, but later he felt very upset. After hanging up the phone and looked at the photos, after a while, he replied to Ding Qi and said, "I'm here to find someone to repair it, but now I need high-definition photos from all angles. The clearer and more detailed the better. Give it to me as soon as possible and take photos with the camera I gave you."

Ding Qi didn't care anymore this time. He brought the camera into the 302 warehouse and took all the information he could take, including the records left by Wu Taixun in the "Lotus Sutra" and the wooden box. The volume after opening the volume after the wooden box, and carefully took out the volume of charcoal to shoot at all angles.

He saved a copy himself and sent it to Ye Xing with the camera that night.

But Ding Qi was still careful and did not rush to report the "achievements" he discovered recently. According to the rules of playing antiques, the value of the engraved book is of course not as valuable as the hand-painted original, but it also depends on what it is. The lost "Ten Rong" set of pictures is a major discovery, and these seven volumes of the Lotus Sutra are much more precious.

However, these seven volumes of the Lotus Sutra, especially the records attached to Wu Taixun at the end, also carry an important history, and the scriptures themselves are objects. For the play and religious circles, this object must be a treasure; for the library, this discovery is also another important achievement.

Ding Qi has just made a major achievement. If another important achievement is created, some people will inevitably be unable to sit still. They will definitely think that this batch of rare ancient scrolls in the collection are of great value or even valuable, and it is impossible for him, a temporary worker, to be responsible for the work alone.

"Fangwai Tu Zhi" has not been repaired yet, and the detailed contents in it have not been seen. At this time, no matter how difficult it is, Ding Qi has not yet invited me to report good news. Anyway, this batch of ancient books has not been sorted out yet, so I will continue to sort out them out quietly.

That night, Ding Qi had a dream. The dream seemed to be a Western-style manor. In the middle of an antique study, there was a long Huanghuali case. A man was wearing a double-breasted silk shirt and was sitting in front of the desk and reading an ancient scroll. The man was not very old and had a very burly figure. He was combed with his back. The hair on his forehead was combed back to his ears, and it was black and shiny.

Ding Qi had never seen this person before, but when he woke up, he realized who he had dreamed of, it should be Zhang Jinlin, the abbot of Chishan Temple before the liberation.

Zhang Jinlin took away many things from Chishan Temple back then. Now the rare ancient scrolls collected by Jinghu University are only a small part of them. Those scriptures that were damaged were also repaired by Zhang Jinlin before liberation. But why did he put "Fangwai Tu Zhi" at the end?

After hearing Wu Taixun's tone, he thought that after finishing his family's work, he would go back to Chishan Temple to repair the last volume of things without leaving any regrets. But it was obvious that he didn't have the opportunity because Zhang Jinlin ran away with his things. For decades later, Zhang Jinlin always brought this batch of things with him, but why did he never ask anyone to repair it?

Maybe it is difficult to find a master and skilled craftsman like Wu Taixun, maybe he doesn't want to repair it. Ye Xing said that all the abbots of Chishan Temple may have kept a secret, maybe Zhang Jinlin didn't know this secret, or he didn't want to know it anymore. After all, Zhang Jinlin is no longer a monk, and Chishan Temple has no longer existed.

However, Zhang Jinlin kept such a volume that could not be repaired and could not be identified and donated it back to Jinghu City after his death. What he thought, now he could no longer ask, but Ding Qi felt his complex mentality, as if it was a telepathy that spanned time and space.

Who said that only when sitting in the consultation room can you see the other person's heart when you are face to face? Even if you don't know each other, even if you are far away from time and space, even if the other person is no longer in this world, it can still be vaguely visible. Because they have left behind their actions, their behavior depends on will and motivation, and will and motivation reflect their thinking and cognition.

Ding Qi pondered for a long time because of this dream, sat on the bed and looked at the chair in front of him, as if Zhang Jinlin was sitting there, and he was doing psychological counseling or psychoanalysis for the other party. At this time, Ye Xing called again.

Ye Xing has invited a master who can repair vintage scrolls to introduce it to Ding Qi and let Ding Qiwu go there. Ding Qi happened to make an appointment in the psychological clinic this afternoon, so he went to the hospital to complete the clinic, and then went to find Ye Xing on the third floor. After pushing the door and entering, he was attracted by the things on the coffee table.

There was a small and old golden nanmu box on the coffee table. The lid was open and a roll of charcoal-shaped thing was placed inside, looking like a thick ham sausage. Ding Qi brought the door and exclaimed: "Ye Xing, have you stolen the things in the library?"

Ye Xing didn't say anything, but another young man sitting on the sofa smiled: "It's Teacher Ding? I'm going to introduce myself. My name is Shi Buquan, a disciple of the Jianghu Cemen. This thing was not stolen from the library, but a copy of the imitation I made based on the information you provided.

I was still worried just now. No matter how clear the video data is, many details will be distorted. After all, I have never seen the real thing and cannot guarantee how similar the things I made are. Now I feel relieved when Teacher Ding’s reaction when entering the door. If you even admit it wrong, I guess others won’t recognize it.”

The master of the sect? The fake? These two words appeared in Ding Qi's mind at the same time. Ye Xing had already come to greet him with a smile and said, "Teacher Ding, I'll introduce you to you. My junior brother Shi is not only a master of the sect of the eight major sects of the Jianghu, but is professional in material restoration. His mentor is the famous Zhou Xiaoxuan.

I don’t know if you have heard of Zhou Xiaoxuan’s name. He works in the Palace Museum, but he is the number one expert in restoration of objects in my country. He is known as the Ghost Hand..."

As the saying goes, "Ding Qi has never heard of Zhou Xiaoxuan's name before, but after listening to Ye Xing's introduction, he felt like he was very thunderous.

Zhou Xiaoxuan is the executive director of the National Matters Restoration Committee and a senior restoration craftsman. His status in the national material verification and restoration industry is equivalent to Liu Feng's position in the psychological circle of Jinghu City or JAC Province. But how can a Jinghu City or JAC Province be in line with the whole country and even the whole world?

Ye Xing introduced Shi Buquan to Ding Qi, but most of what he said was about introducing his mentor Zhou Xiaoxuan, who sold his fortune, sold his reputation, and sold his family background, which was a typical habit of the world.

Shi Buquan quickly interrupted, "Mr. Ye, don't swear by my mentor anymore. Although he is not here, he can't hear anything you say, but my mentor has never liked the nickname "Ghost Hand". He always feels that the world is too angry. He is not from a wild path."

As he spoke, he had already gotten up from the sofa and walked closer, shook hands with Ding Qi and said, "Teacher Ding, I have long been famous. I heard about your deeds half a year ago, and recently I heard about your achievements. Mr. Ye sent me a set of high-definition picture materials of the printed version of "Ten Rong" from the Kangxi period, and I realized that this was your latest discovery.

Two days ago, Mr. Ye sent me a volume of video materials from the Lotus Sutra, and there was a postscript from the senior Wu Taixun of the Book. Mr. Ye said that if you have something to invite me over, I must come! Teacher Ding, I have to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have the chance to appreciate the erotic pictures of everyone in the Ming Dynasty, nor would I have the chance to appreciate the skills of the senior masters.

I'm really good, these are all your discoveries. I originally thought you were just a hypnosis master, but hypnosis should only hypnosis people. Can you hypnosis a room of ancient books? Let them explain the situation by themselves..."

Shi Buquan is 26 years old this year, the same age as Ding Qi, and is a graduate student led by Zhou Xiaoxuan. He just graduated from his master's degree last year and was "crawled" by Ye Xing. Ye Xing first sent him a high-definition data picture of the "Ten Rong" engraved book, and then sent him a picture of the scriptures repaired by his senior Wu Taixun and his handwritten records.

Shi Buquan, who is both a major in material restoration and a descendant of the Jianghu Cemen, could not withstand this temptation? He ran to Jinghu happily. Without Ye Xing begging him, he took the initiative to ask for a solution to repair the "Fangwai Tu Zhi" mentioned by Wu Taixun, and even didn't want to pay. Judging from his meaning, he might even be willing to pay.

Ding Qi had a good impression of Shi Buquan. He had a much better impression of Ye Xing. Shi Buquan was over 1.7 meters tall and had a buzz cut. Although his appearance was ordinary, he was also called a very "clean", giving people a very "clean" feeling. This kind of cleanness not only refers to neat clothes, but an invisible temperament.

Shi Buquan had heard of Ding Qi's name for a long time because of the hot news incident that caused a sensation across the country. However, they did not expect that the discoverer of the "Ten Rong" was Ding Qi. What made him even more excited was that Ding Qi actually discovered something left by the senior of the Book Sect. He held Ding Qi's hand for a long time and did not let go. He also said a lot, and he was a little excited to see the "celebrity".

Ding Qi is very familiar with Shi Buquan's temperament. When he works in school, his peers feel this temperament the most, which is what he is the saying goes. This descendant of the Eight Great Gates of the Jianghu, who is a scholarly angrily, speaks a bit funny, and he is even more familiar with Ding Qi when he sees him.

Ding Qi also noticed two details. One is that Shi Buquan's hands are very tender, their skin is like a child, but their joints are very strong. The other is that Shi Buquan does not wear glasses and does not wear contact lenses. This book is not a feature, but at least around Ding Qi, there are not many students who have finished the master's degree without glasses.

Ding Qi himself is an exception. He has good eyesight and does not need to wear glasses. However, his girlfriend Jia Jia chose him with a pair of flat glasses, saying that she looks more elegant and looks more like a university teacher. He has also been used to wearing them over the years.

Ding Qi held Shi Buquan's hand and asked, "Mr. Shi, do you know Wu Taixun?"

Shi Buquan replied: "I have heard of this name. It's a senior of our Jianghu Cemen. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to be in front of me. He died before I was born. In other words, he is still the junior brother of my master and also the uncle of my master."

Ding Qi: "Is that Professor Zhou Xiaoxuan's uncle?"

Shi Buquan shook his head and said, "No, no, Professor Zhou Xiaoxuan is just my supervisor, and it is different from the inheritance of Jianghu Cemen. It is precisely because I am interested in the major of material restoration that I applied for the graduate student he taught."

Ye Xing interrupted, "Can you two big men let go of your hands first? If you have anything, let's sit down and say it slowly."

It’s not that Ding Qi didn’t let go, Shi Buquan was just talking and forgot to shake hands. After several people sat down on the sofa, Ye Xing pointed to the wooden box on the coffee table and said, “Is this imitation made by my junior brother Shi, Teacher Ding satisfied, right?”

Satisfied? Ding Qi immediately realized something and asked unexpectedly: "This thing is enough to be real. Do you want to play the bag-and-tumble trick and steal the truth from the library?"

Shi Buquan quickly explained: "It's not stealing, it's just a temporary replacement. If the raccoon is replaced with the prince, I will change it quietly. We are learning from Lei Feng and do good deeds without leaving a name. My purpose is very simple, to pay tribute to senior Wu Taixin, and to prove that my skills are no less than those of my predecessors."

Ding Qi stared at Ye Xing, and Ye Xing had to explain: "The content of "Fangwai Tu Zhi" is of great importance, and only we know that it should have clues about the Fangwai world we are looking for. Before we find it, it is best not to cause any extraneous things. It is safer to take them out and repair them, so that we can ensure that we see the records in the first time."

Shi Buquan said again: "If there is really a legendary outside world, it is of course best to find it, but the first thing we need to consider is how to repair vintage scrolls is more convenient. Teacher Ding, I definitely have no idea of ​​stealing things, but doing this kind of work requires a special studio, a lot of things, and even more time to be undisturbed.

I am not tutor Zhou Xiaoxuan, nor an employee of your library. It is impossible for you to go to the library to repair it yourself, and your library cannot provide the conditions I need. If you want the ancient scrolls to see the light of day again and let the late senior Wu Taixun leave no regrets, you must take out the things to repair them specifically."

Seeing that Ding Qi had not nodded yet, Ye Xing made another persuasion. He told Ding Qi that according to the current preservation of "Fangwai Tuzhi", the experts who can be famous and capable of restoring it in China now do not exceed two-handed numbers, and Shi Buquan's mentor Zhou Xiaoxuan is one of them.

Not to mention whether the Jinghu University Library is willing to hire such a repair expert, it must be able to invite him. These repair experts are very busy, with countless important objects and important classics waiting for repair, and their work schedules are probably scheduled to be next century. As for Shi Buquan, it is not the number of two things that Ye Xing mentioned, because no one knows him, but he also has this ability.

The preservation status of "Fangwai Tuzhi" is worrying. If you continue to put it down, it may not be completely repaired in the end. What Ye Xing and the others did was actually saving the ancient scrolls.

When Ye Xing spoke, Shi Buquan nodded repeatedly and confirmed that these were all facts. Ding Qi finally said helplessly: "Okay, I will cooperate with you to take it out and repair it. What you are telling the truth is, otherwise its fate will probably never be seen, and it will be completely damaged in the end."

Everyone was very happy, Shi Buquan said again: "Mr. Ye told me about the outside world, but he said that it was full of clouds and mountains. Teacher Ding, I want to hear you introduce your discovery in person."

There is nothing to say on this occasion. Ding Qi introduced his discovery experience in detail, and finally looked at Shi Buquan and said, "Mr. Shi, do you believe it?"

"I believe!" Shi Buquan answered quite simply, and thought about it and added, "When I was a child, I learned a lot of strange things. Master will not lie to me. I have always wanted to see it with my own eyes. In fact, it doesn't matter whether we believe in it or not, it just depends on whether it is true. Teacher Ding seems to have found evidence, so I believe it."

It was not difficult for this person to communicate. After a few more talks, Ye Xing treated him to lunch together. Everyone was very worried and said nothing, so they decided to exchange the "Fangwai Tu Zhi" in the afternoon.

Ding Qi drove to school with Shi Buquan and his imitations. On the way, Ding Qi asked, "Mr. Shi, how long does it take for you to repair the scrolls?"

Shi Buquan: "Teacher Ding calls me A Quanxing, don't always call me Mr. Shi. It's awkward. Everyone who knows me calls me A Quan."

Ding Qi: "Then don't always call me Teacher Ding, I'm Ding Qi."

Shi Buquan: "That's not good, you are a successful celebrity. I remember when I first worked with my mentor, no matter where I went, there were always a bunch of people I didn't know what to call them. The mentor told me that this situation would be called a teacher. I thought about it later. The ancestor said, "I must have a teacher when I go through three people..."

Ding Qi quickly interrupted him and said, "A Quan, don't call me teacher, we learn from each other. You said that everyone who knows you calls you A Quan, then why does Mr. Ye call you junior brother? Is he the same master as you?"

Shi Buquan smiled: "As far as I know, Mr. Ye has not obtained the formal inheritance of any of the eight sects. He has only contacted him and then claimed to be the successor of the Iron Sect. My master doesn't know him. He calls me junior brother, because he wants to show it in front of you and show that he is also the successor of the eight sects in the Jianghu. But he can't be considered completely unaware of it, and he also knows a little bit about the eight sects."

Ding Qi knew it and asked again: "A Quan, you haven't told me yet, how long will it take to repair the scroll?"

Shi Buquan frowned and said, "This is not good. Any situation can happen. If you don't really open it, you won't know the specific preservation status. According to Mr. Ye's meaning, we don't need to completely repair the ancient scroll. As long as we can get the content and find clues from the outside world, we have achieved our goal. But my idea is different. Since I have to do it well, of course we have to completely repair it..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he even introduced many details of the repair work, such as what to do if he encountered any situation, there was a torn painting, how long did he help piece by piece collage, what mistakes he made, etc. Anyway, there was nothing wrong, Ding Qi treated it as if he had listened to the new.

While speaking, he had already arrived at the downstairs of the school library. Ding Qi parked his car in the parking lot and took a deep breath. Although he said it nicely, it was to save the ancient scrolls and learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds without leaving a name, but when he really wanted to do something, he still felt guilty. Ding Qi knew very well that this fact was stealing things.

Shi Buquan came over and asked, "Teacher Ding, you seem a little nervous. Is it the first time you steal something? Don't worry, this is the library and not the Pentagon. You are still an insider. It's very simple. Just take it in and exchange it out."

Ding Qi smiled: "As the saying goes, being a thief is guilty, it is true. This is the first time I have done such a thing since I was a child."

Shi Buquan nodded and said, "Understand, everything has its first time, it's over. If you are caught..."

Ding Qi quickly said, "Stop, stop, no... Why are you calling me Teacher Ding again?"

Shi Buquan took a deep breath and said, "I'm a little nervous, and I like to call people to the teacher when I'm nervous."

Ding Qi looked at him: "Such good craftsmanship is enough to make imitations, but it is the first time you have done such a thing?"
Chapter completed!
