Chapter 5 Liulichang, the local snake(2/2)
"How can Ershao Rong judge that this is a forgery?"
The handsome middle-aged man smiled slightly and said confidently:
"It is known to the world that Shen Haishi is good at demons and monsters. The three best masterpieces handed down from generation to generation are "The Skeleton Bodhisattva's Bliss Night Banquet", "Beauty's Painted Skin" and "A Chinese Ghost Story".
