Li Yi looked at the old man up and down, and the old man also looked at him up and down, and then the two of them spoke at the same time.

"you……"

"you……"

Seeing that the two people actually collided, Li Yi couldn't help laughing and asked:

"Old man, are you looking for me?"

The old man nodded,

"If you bought the piano just now, I'll look for you."

"Oh? How do you say it?"

The old man pondered for a moment, frowned and said:

"Just just now, a friend of mine called me and said that he saw an old imitation of the Great Sage's guqin in the market, which should be a fine product..."

Li Yi understood that the old man was one step late. Now he was looking for him, so he probably was unwilling to give up and wanted to see the piano. But this was exactly what he wanted, because he still couldn't confirm the true value of the piano. If this old man was an expert, it would be like a sleepy encounter with a pillow.

Sure enough, the old man went around for a few words and finally made a request to watch the piano.

"Brother, I wonder if it can delay your time. Let me see your piano?"

Li Yi looked around and pointed to the shade beside him and said:

"No problem, let's go there?"

The old man smiled,

"No, my friend has a shop in the market. Let's go to his place to blow up the air conditioner, and you can also kill him two taels of tea and try it..."

Upon hearing this, Ma Weizhong couldn't help rolling his eyes, two taels of tea... Are you a little promising at least? We can just slaughter half a pound!

The old man’s friend’s shop is right next to the square, only a few steps away from them, but this little time is enough for the old man to introduce himself.

The old man's surname is Qin and his name is Chuan. According to himself, he is a piano player. He also has a hobby, which is to identify something casually, so he also made friends with antiques.

The store that Qin Chuan led them to was considered a big store in the market. Not only was the business area similar to that of Chang Huaizhi's store in Panjiayuan, but it also had a first floor and second floor.

Qin Chuan’s friend is a strong middle-aged man. He looks like he is in his forties. His surname is rare and his name is normal, but it makes people feel a little strange when he puts on this big man with a stinging foot. Xiwuyu, this should be the name of an elf-like girl.

After briefly introducing each other, Xi Wuyu took them to the VIP reception room on the second floor, and then brewed a pot of strong tea. Judging from the appearance of the tea leaves, it was indeed not two taels or one and half.

As soon as he arrived at the VIP room and sat down, Li Yi took out the guqin from the zither bag and placed it on the coffee table. Qin Chuan immediately came to the side and looked at it silently.

After watching for at least three minutes, Qin Chuan let out a breath of turbid air and slowly stood up.

"Brother, do you know the origin of this piano?"

Li Yi nodded with a smile. Qin Chuan was watching the piano just now, but he kept watching Qin Chuan. Although the old man did not show any abnormalities during the piano watching, the lack of abnormalities was the biggest abnormality. Therefore, he suspected that this piano might not be as simple as he thought. There should be something hidden here that he didn't know, and that the spirit discerning card could not identify.

"This piano should be written by a court piano player during the Yongzheng period..."

Li Yi knew this kind of thing in total, but he deliberately said half of the words just to see what Qin Chuan would react.

Sure enough, when he heard Li Yi tell the origin of the piano in one mouthful, a hint of unawareness flashed through Qin Chuan's eyes, and then he smiled bitterly and shook his head and said:

"Although I know there is little hope, I still have to ask, little brother, are you interested in taking action on this piano?"

Li Yi shook his head. Not to mention that there is no guqin in his collection, even if there is one, he would not take the guqin without knowing anything. Even if Qin Chuan bids a lot, there is no room for negotiation.

Seeing Li Yi shaking his head, Qin Chuan sighed, picked up the strong tea on the table and took a sip. Suddenly, he seemed to have made up his mind and turned his head to Xi Wuyu and said:

"Wuyu, go and bring my painting."

A hint of surprise flashed through Xi Wuyu's eyes, but he didn't say much, but instead accused him of his crime and turned around and walked out of the room.

"A piano master's greatest wish in his life is to have a great piano. Brother, I see your hands, you are not a person who learns the piano. If I pay enough money for this matter, I wonder if there is room for negotiation?"

Having said that, Li Yi knew that he had definitely misunderstood just now. The value of this guqin is probably much more than 5 million. Maybe the six Song versions of the guqin scores together may not be as precious as this guqin.

"Old Qin, this matter..."

Qin Chuan waved his hand, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Brother, do you know Xu Changyu?"

Li Yi nodded. He saw this name when he was searching for information online. Although he didn't pay much attention to it, he also knew that he was a piano player during the Kangxi period and the founder of the famous Guangling School in the guqin sect.

"This piano should have been made by Master Xu in his later years. According to records, in the fifth year of Yongzheng, a piano master conference was held in the capital. Master Xu won the championship at the age of 65, winning a piece of top-quality sycamore wood awarded by the court. He was hired as a court piano master, who was responsible for playing music for Emperor Yongzheng. At the same time, he also began to make a piano with that piece of sycamore wood."

"Five years later, when the piano was first auditioned, Emperor Yongzheng heard it. Emperor Yongzheng praised this piano for its legacy of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and it was not much different from the Great Saint's Literary Piano collected in the imperial palace at that time, and it was even more than it was!"

"When hearing the emperor's praise, Xu Zushi was so happy that he knelt down and begged Emperor Yongzheng to give the name of the zither, and said that he would regard the zither as a holy object of the Guangling School, and he would pass it on from generation to generation."

"At that time, Emperor Yongzheng just pondered for a moment, then smiled at the sky. After laughing, he ordered the eunuchs who were accompanying him to take over the Great Saint Yiyinqin, and then asked Master Xu to engrave almost the same inscription according to the Great Saint Yiyinqin, saying that he wanted to compare with the ancients and see which piano was more powerful..."

"According to the emperor's instructions, Master Xu remodeled the piano again, and then risked his life to leave a secret note in an inconspicuous place... Later, this piano became a holy object of the Guangling School, but it suddenly disappeared strangely during the Xianfeng period..."

Qin Chuan said as he picked up the piano, pointed to a scar in the belly of the piano and said to Li Yi:

"Because Master Xu was named Wushan Old Man in his later years, he left a secret note with the word "shan" in the center of this tree scar..."

When Li Yi heard this, he leaned over and took a look. Sure enough, there was a twisted word "mountain" in the center of the scar. If no one explained it, he thought it was the original pattern of the tree. He would never have thought that this was a secret note deliberately left by the piano maker.

"Then... Mr. Qin, are you from Guangling School?"

Li Yi remembered that Qin Chuan had said before that he was a zither master and called Xu Changyu the ancestor. Then, he was probably a disciple of the Guangling Sect.

Sure enough, Qin Chuan nodded.

"This piano has extraordinary significance to me and the entire Guangling School, so even though I know that my little brother will not take action easily, I still want to try it... You will read the painting later. If you think it is not enough, let's talk about it. As long as I, Qin Chuan, can produce it, I will be absolutely right!"

Li Yi frowned. To be honest, he had already believed in all this Qin Chuan said eight points, but there were two points left, so he had to wait until he saw the painting Xi Wuyu brought.

If what Qin Chuan said was true, then the value of that painting would probably be far more than 5 million. He exchanged this piano for him, so that he would not suffer any loss and be able to make a good relationship.

But if the painting is only worth tens of millions, or even a fake, then this old guy is just a big liar with the best actor level. No matter how sincere he says, he will not pay attention to him anymore. And he may take out the six Song-engraved books and stimulate him again to see if it will make him crazy!

After about five minutes, the door of the reception room opened. Xi Wuyu took a painting tube and strode into the reception room. She first held the teacup and drank the herbal tea in two mouthfuls. Then she took out a paper frame painting with ink and color splashed from the paint tube and carefully spread it on the coffee table.

"Hiss... Master, do you want to use this painting to exchange for the piano? Isn't this suitable?"

When he saw this painting, not only Li Yi, but also Ma Weizhong, who had never said a word after coming in, gasped. Two terrifying rays of light burst out from his eyes, and there was an unconcealed look on his face. Damn, these people are really crazy!

Seeing Li Yi and the others' reactions, Qin Chuan shook his head calmly.

"No matter how good things are, they vary from person to person. For me, there should be no thing in this world that is more precious than this piano, so... If I think this painting is not enough, Brother Wuyu also has a few good things here. I can make the decision and exchange them with you together!"

Li Yi took a long breath, and in a blink of an eye, the horror and excitement just now calmed down.

He first glanced at Qin Chuan, then looked at the painting on the coffee table, and then slowly frowned.

Frowning does not mean being dissatisfied or unwilling. On the contrary, if this painting is really used to exchange for his piano, he will not only be satisfied, but also be extremely satisfied, because the advantage is too great.

Even if the story Qin Chuan just told was not a word of false words, even if Li Yi repeatedly raised the valuation of this guqin, he could not imagine that the old man would have such a work to exchange with him.

Therefore, he just frowned and thought for a moment, then looked up and said to Qin Chuan:

"Old Qin, you just said that there are two good things, so... can you please take them over and take them to take a look?"

When he heard Li Yi say this, even with Qin Chuan's calmness, the muscles on his face couldn't help but twitch twice, and Xi Wuyu changed color even more. In front of Li Yi, he slowly pinched his big hands into two bowl-sized fists!
