Chapter 74

Hou Yuanming took Chu Chen's words and said, "I've seen many such things. It's still the young people's own problem. Everything can happen in this ghost market, and there are many swindlers and so on. Thanks to him, he dares to follow others. He has no sense of vigilance."

Zhou Wenping also nodded: "but as Xiao Chen said, those people dare not go too far. At most, the young man will only spend a little money. What's more, there are a lot of ghost cities. If you want to manage them, it's really inconvenient to have you girls. If Xiao Chen is alone today, he may manage them. "

Chu Yulan and they thought it was the same. After all, in this dark place, if they met some ferocious people, Chu Chen would be the only one who had the time to take care of them. But listen to Zhou Wenping's meaning, Chu Chen really managed this kind of thing, so Chu Yulan asked curiously:

"brother Chu, have you taught this kind of person?"

Chu Chen some embarrassed said: "tube is tube, but not everything tube, looking too much will tube.". Well, let's not talk about it. Xiao Lan, you look like you are particularly interested in chapter materials. Do you have this need? "

"Brother Chu, you should know from my uncle that my grandfather's birthday is coming soon. As for me, I just want to send him a piece of material, but I haven't found anything satisfactory after looking for it for a long time. If I go to an antique shop, I can't afford it, so I can only see if there is any harvest in this ghost market." Chu Yulan's face was a little sad.

"How many days is your grandfather's birthday?" Chu Chen asked.

"There are still four days to go."

Hearing that for only four days, Chu Chen frowned: "time is really tight, so don't worry, Xiao Lan. Let's look here first. If we don't have it, I'll ask for it for you when we go back. If we don't have the valuable materials, we can still hope to find them."

After hearing the words, Chu Yulan immediately beamed and said, "brother Chu, thank you very much."

When they were ready to go on the previous trip, they saw the young man come over with a listless face, and he didn't seem to be hurt. According to his expression, it was estimated that he had spent money to relieve the disaster.

Seeing this, Chu Yulan was also relieved. After all, they had not really entered the society, and they still had a childlike heart. If the young people were hurt physically, they would feel uneasy.

Next, they watched dozens of stalls one after another, and basically everyone got something.

Chu Yulan was lucky. She finally got what she wanted. She spent 17000 yuan to buy a piece of Changhua chicken blood stone seal material. This material is fine, fresh and beautiful. If the normal price in the antique shop, this material should be able to sell to 50000 to 60000, buy this material in her heart is very satisfied.

However, Chu Yulan still likes Tian Huang's materials in her heart, so she still troubles Chu Chen to help her find out if there is any suitable Tian Huang's materials.

At this time, the sky was a little bright. Chu Chen looked at the things in his hand, looking slightly disappointed.

He just bought two things, one is a good looking Duan inkstone, the other is a Canglong jiaozi jade belt buckle. They are all things that open the door to the end. These two things cost him fifteen thousand yuan in total. The price is only a little lower than the general price. After all, the antique business has not always been missed.

Chu Chen now has enough money to open an antique shop, and the store is not worried about it for the time being. But the things in the antique shop can't be all handicrafts. Therefore, those antique goods have to be prepared in advance, so he will buy those two things.

After a long journey to the ghost market in Xijing, Chu Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with these two pieces. However, when he looked down, he found a circle of bronze Buddha statues on the vendor's stall.

Buddha statues have a long history in our country. The bronze Buddha statues and Buddhist utensils seen in the world are mostly unearthed from the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the northern and Southern Dynasties. The most handed down objects are from the Sui and Tang Dynasties and the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

Most of the Buddha statues here are in the style of the Tang Dynasty, with a small number of Ming and Qing Buddha statues, and the workmanship seems to be good. The Buddha statues of Tang Dynasty generally have plump face, symmetrical figure proportion, reasonable structure, plump and full body, natural and stretching body, strong dynamic sense, etc., which have distinct characteristics of the times.

Thinking of the rich historical and cultural heritage of Xijing, Chu Chen immediately raised his interest when he saw these Buddhist statues. He squatted down to observe whether they were true or not. After a rough look around, he found that the quality of the Buddha statues here is pretty good. Although most of them are new imitations, there are also some old imitations and high imitations, which look pretty good.

However, Chu Chen selected them for a while, and they were either defective or defective, but none of them were satisfactory. Suddenly, they were in a state of low spirits.

Just when Chu Chen wanted to stand up and leave, Yu Guang swept away, and a relatively new Bodhisattva statue in the corner came into his eyes, which immediately made him interested. This is because his baojue reminds him that this Bodhisattva statue should be an old object.As soon as the statue of Bodhisattva started, Chu Chen felt that his hand sank and had a copper texture. This alone made him feel good. When he looked at it carefully, he was surprised.

This is a bronze gilded Manjusri Bodhisattva statue, about 25 cm high.

Manjusri Bodhisattva is the transliteration abbreviation of Manjusri Shili in Sanskrit, which translates "miaodei" and "miaojiang" freely. Among all Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, he is good at wisdom and ranks first among all Bodhisattvas. In Buddhist scriptures, he is called "Manjusri, Prince of Lifa".

This is like wearing a five corolla, with a high bun on the top, big earlobes and shoulders. He has a square face and a solemn manner. Broad shoulders, waist, soft body, slightly three fold style sitting on the lotus.

The upper body is covered with right shoulder cassock, the shoulders are covered with silk, and the lower body is covered with long skirt. The pattern is smooth and natural, and the leg pattern is laid symmetrically, which is particularly beautiful. The whole body is decorated with wreaths, jewels and bracelets.

Put your hands in front of your chest to make a seal, and hold a lotus stem in each palm. The lotus is open shoulder to shoulder, with a Sanskrit clip on the left shoulder and a sword on the right shoulder. Scripture and sword are the important symbols of this image, both of which have profound meanings. Scripture indicates that wisdom is as profound as the sea, and sharp sword means that it can kill all troubled thieves.

The rosette is a half moon shaped with lotus petals. The lotus petals are well arranged, full and powerful, and the head is decorated with rolled grass. The lotus socket is engraved with six characters of "Da Ming Xuan de Nian Shi", which indicates the casting age and the bottom cover is intact.

Looking at the whole Buddha statue, it is well preserved, dignified in shape, well proportioned and exquisite in craftsmanship. It is a model work of palace statues in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty.

as like as two peas in the form of sculpture, craft, and pulp, the Manjusri Bodhisattva statue is exactly the same as the Buddha statues in Xuan de period in the Ming Dynasty. After using the powers, Chu Chen's mind was shocked.

"Boss, please make a price." How could Chu Chen have let go of such a beautiful statue, which was created during Xuande's reign.

The owner of this stall is also a young man, with a plump face. He looks very kind, but don't be confused by his appearance. He sees Chu Chen carefully and looks very young. He looks like a novice. When he sees Chu Chen asking for a price, he asks for 80000 yuan.

As soon as Chu Chen heard that it was 80000, he knew that this man should have missed his eye. If the boss thought it was genuine, he would not show it to him. However, he also knew that the boss regarded himself as a fat sheep.

Chu Chen hated people to think that he was a fat sheep. Although it was genuine, the boss couldn't succeed, so he returned the price to 5000 yuan directly.

As soon as the boss saw that Chu Chen was still five thousand, he was stunned and thought, does this man know that this statue was taken by three thousand? Thinking of this, he immediately perked up. When he returned it for the first time, he could earn 2000 yuan, which was a good business. So he gave the price to 70000 yuan with a smile.

When Chu Chen saw this, he simply put the Bodhisattva statue in its original position, and then showed an appearance of posturing to go.

That boss sees this to be anxious, how can let a fat sheep run like this? Then he said: "brother, you can't take down the price. Add a little more, add a little more."

Chuchen a listen to music, than a ten thousand gesture, and then said: "boss, I will pay this price, achievement, not pull down."

"Yes, I'll give it to you." The boss decided immediately to avoid a long night's dream.

After the transaction, Chu Chen and others left, the boss could not help humming complacently, thinking, hey, my father also said that I am not the material for business, look, 7000 yuan is so easy to get, and in recent months, I have no worries about food and clothing. Like this young man, the more stupid things, the better.

at this time, he would not think that his father is shopping at home There's something in the back of the box.

"Son of a bitch, did you see the statue of Bodhisattva that I invited back yesterday?"

"No, I'll wait for Xiao Kun to come back and ask if he's there."

"I'd like to ask someone to take charge of this bastard today. It's not really with him, is it? Then don't sell it to me, or I'll break his leg! "

"Eh, brother Chu, how did you think of inviting a statue of Bodhisattva?" Wen Yuting looked at Chu Chen holding the statue of Bodhisattva, a little strange.

Chuchen said with a smile: "ha ha, let's go back."

Next, the sky was getting brighter and brighter, and everyone had their own harvest, and they were not interested in visiting the ghost city. In addition, they were all curious about the Bodhisattva statue in Chu Chen's hand, so they quickly left the ghost city.
