As soon as Shen Qi said this, Meng Shan's face changed.
There is no need to elaborate on how precious Yan Zhenqing's authentic works are. Everyone present understands that they are priceless. But Shen Qi actually said that this piece of calligraphy is still a little lacking?
"Mr. Shen Qi, since you said that, I believe you have collected something even more precious. Why not take it out and let us see it?"
Seeing Meng Shan's reaction, Gu Peng hurriedly pulled Meng Shan's sleeve from behind, reminding Meng Shan not to be impulsive.
Meng Shan and the other three didn’t know what Shen Qi’s collection was, but how could Gu Peng not know?
Guchuan attended the first auction held by Shen Qi in Jincheng. At that auction, Shen Qi put up an authentic work of Wang Xizhi for auction.
Who is Wang Xizhi?
A famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a well-deserved calligrapher!
Therefore, Wang Xizhi's authentic works are far superior to Yan Zhenqing's authentic works in terms of both preciousness and fame.
The fact that Shen Qi was able to bring out Wang Xizhi's authentic works for auction shows that Shen Qi did not take Wang Xizhi's authentic works seriously at all. It is even possible that Shen Qi has more authentic works of Wang Xizhi. Therefore, it is not wise for Meng Shan to challenge Shen Qi at this time.
Meng Shan felt Gu Peng's movements, his heart sank, and he quickly turned his head to look at Gu Peng, "Brother Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Peng couldn't afford to humiliate Meng Shan in front of so many people, so he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Meng, don't challenge Mr. Shen Qi. Brother Feng's experience is still a lesson for us. Don't be impulsive!"
Meng Shan suddenly realized, how could he have forgotten what happened to Feng Jue just now?
When Feng Jue took out the Tang sword, no one thought that Shen Qi's black stone could block the Tang sword, but what was the result?
The Tang sword was broken, but the black stone was intact.
After this, everyone could see that there was something weird about Shen Qi, which made it difficult to see clearly. And he had just gotten hot-headed and challenged Shen Qi?
Isn't this just asking for trouble?
Yan Zhenqing's authentic work has already caused everyone to marvel. Can't we stop while we're ahead?
Why do you have to cause trouble for Shen Qi?
But he had already said it. If he took it back or showed weakness to Shen Qi at this time, it would bring shame to the Meng family. So he could only hold on now, hoping that Shen Qi could give him a way out like he did just now, so that he could move forward smoothly.
But this time, Shen Qi obviously didn't want to save any face for Meng Shan. Only in this way could these ancient martial arts families know how powerful he was and would not easily cause trouble for him.
So Shen Qi moved his right hand again and took out a long mahogany box.
"Furukawa, come and help me open it."
When Guchuan saw this mahogany box, he knew that Meng Shan would probably be in trouble next, because at the auction, the authentic work of Wang Xizhi that Shen Qi took out was kept in a similar mahogany box.
Gu Peng sighed. He had tried it, but to no avail. Now he could only stand by and watch the fun. He hoped that Meng Shan could have a stronger psychological endurance.
When Feng Jue, Yin Kong and others saw Shen Qi take out a mahogany box, they immediately became interested. They came over to Guchuan and urged Guchuan to open it quickly.
Furukawa knew that the things inside must be very precious, so he carefully opened the mahogany box, revealing a well-preserved scroll. However, the scroll was just randomly tied with white thread, and it could be seen that the owner of the scroll did not really care about it.
Wearing white gloves, Furukawa took out the scroll with both hands and opened it. A pair of vigorous and powerful characters appeared in front of everyone, attracting everyone's admiration.
Look at the signature on the left, Wang Xizhi!
This time, there was no need to say anything, Meng Shan knew that he had lost, and immediately hated himself for being so mean and provoking Shen Qi.
But things have come to this point, if he says nothing, it will make him seem petty. In desperation, he had to come to Shen Qi.
"Mr. Shen Qi's collection is indeed rich. I am convinced!"
Shen Qi nodded slightly. Since Meng Shan had already given in, there was no need to keep holding on to this matter. With a wave of his right hand, he put away the authentic work of Wang Xizhi and the mahogany box.
It was not until this time that Gu Peng and others noticed Shen Qi's amazing methods. This was no longer something that could be explained by the ancient martial arts they practiced, but something more mysterious, even more mysterious than spells.
However, they all knew the rules. If the relationship was not close enough, they could not ask others about their methods without authorization.
Gu Peng coughed twice and said, "I've heard Chuan'er say that Mr. Shen Qi's collection is extremely rich. Seeing it today, it is indeed well-deserved. I admire him so much!"
Meng Shan and others also responded one after another, expressing their acceptance.
Next, Yin Kong and Zu Zhao each took out a Song Dynasty seal and a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain, which were also extremely rare items. However, they both learned their lesson and just took them out to show them off, and would never take the initiative to cause trouble for Shen Qi again.
Because they no longer have a clear idea of Shen Qi's background, and don't know if Shen Qi has any other tricks up his sleeve, the consequences of challenging Shen Qi could be disastrous.
At this point, the appreciation meeting between the five ancient martial arts inheritance families ended, but the five families did not gain any benefits. Instead, the outsider Shen Qi stole the limelight here and suppressed all five families.
According to the custom among families that inherit ancient martial arts, after the tasting session, there will be a competition between the younger generations of each family. This can be regarded as a way to demonstrate the strength of the family.
The strength of the younger generation in a family can, to a certain extent, reflect the strength of a family.
So the four people of Gu Peng brought many young people to an open space. Although it was night, the Gu family had arranged lights to illuminate the place as if it were daytime.
Gu Peng knew how powerful Shen Qi was. In order to avoid any trouble during the competition among the younger generation of the family, he specially called Feng Jue and the other three over and told them not to take the opportunity to provoke Shen Qi because of what happened at the tasting meeting, otherwise they would be the ones who would suffer.
Although Feng Jue and the other three were unhappy, they also knew that what Gu Peng said was true.
They had all seen the video of Shen Qi defeating Gu Chuan. Gu Chuan was considered a leader among the many younger generations of the five families, but when facing Shen Qi, he had no room to fight back and was easily defeated by Shen Qi. Even they could not do this, let alone defeat Shen Qi.
So they quickly found their younger generation and informed them of the news.
Soon, the competition between the younger generations of the ancient martial arts families began. Guchuan was the first to go on stage. He was fighting against a younger generation from the Meng family. He was about the same age as Guchuan, and their fighting styles were not much different. After all, ancient martial arts mainly cultivate internal strength, and there is not much research on moves and rules. The most important thing is to compete in internal strength. In terms of excitement, it is a little worse than traditional martial arts.
Although Guchuan and the other man were very powerful, in Shen Qi's opinion, their competition was like a fight between children. There was nothing interesting to watch and it was very boring. He even yawned.
