Chapter 564

There was a lot of people at the scene, and many people were asking how to donate money. Director Xu was also very excited when he saw this. Because Chu Chen had several points to watch in this program, and now with this scene in front of him, this treasure appraisal program will certainly be popular, but he will benefit a lot at that time.

Seeing that many people had already asked the staff, Xu said in a loud voice: "ladies and gentlemen, first of all, thank you for your love. But this time Aunt Li came, the main reason was that there was a Buddha statue at home to be identified. The donation should wait until the Buddha statue of Aunt Li has been identified."

"Auntie, I'll give you my place. I'll line up in the back again."

"Yes, yes! Come to me... " See Xu guide said so, row in front of the treasure holders all scrambling to say.

"You say that, can't we carry forward our style?" The people in the back were a little bit unhappy.

"Yes! It doesn't matter after a while... "

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Aunt Li's gratitude was even more obvious.

"Sister in law, let me help you to have a look at the Buddha statue in your hand." Guan Guokang waved to Aunt Li.

"Oh! Good All right Aunt Li quickly walked over and carefully put the Buddha statue in her hand in front of Guan Guokang.

Guan Guokang nodded to Aunt Li with a smile, indicating that she should not be nervous. Then he picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it.

This statue is a household name Maitreya. It is about 12 cm high and is made of Dehua white porcelain. Maitreya's body is round and wide, with round head and big ears. His ears are drooping over his shoulders. His face is very happy and his chest is bare. The right hand holds the Buddha beads on the right knee, and the left hand holds a cloth bag. Beside the left knee, you can see all kinds of treasures scattered from the mouth of the cloth bag, such as coral, copper coins, pearls, silver ingots, etc., which symbolizes a steady stream of wealth.

Two legs curled up, two feet together, sitting on the ground, folded clothes, hanging down. Maitreya is vivid, dynamic, natural and lifelike. On the other hand, there is a four character seal script of "Lin Chaojing seal", which is the seal script of Lin Chaojing, a famous porcelain maker in the late Ming Dynasty.

Lin Chaojing is a famous porcelain carving artist. It is said that he is the descendant of Lin Bing, who founded Dehua dragon kiln in Song Dynasty. His life is similar to that of he Chaozong. His lines are sharp and smooth, and his image is ready to come out. Porcelain sculpture of good people. His works once sold well in Europe and America in the 17th century, and some of them are still treasured by museums and collectors.

Guan Guokang carefully observed for a moment and confirmed that it should be an authentic one. Unfortunately, the left hand of this Maitreya statue was slightly damaged, which affected the value of the Buddha statue.

What makes Guan Guokang feel strange is that the bottom of the Buddha statue is sealed with a piece of wood painted with red paint. Generally speaking, this is unnecessary, as if it is deliberately used to cover something.

"Is there something wrong with this Buddha statue, or is there something hidden in it?" Guan Guokang frowned and thought of it.

Seeing Guan Guokang's expression, not only Aunt Li, but also other people are quite nervous. If this thing is a fake, it will be too cruel for Aunt Li.

"Guan Lao, can you show me the Buddha statue?"

Chu Chen saw what Guan Guokang was puzzled about at a glance, but he used his powers on the statue at the beginning. It is estimated that no one at the scene knew the statue better than him.

"All right!"

Guan Guokang returned to his senses and handed the statue to chuchen. Then he looked up to see Aunt Li worried and said with a smile, "sister-in-law, your statue of Buddha is really made by Lin Chaojing."

"Wow, it's actually Lin Chaojing's work. The money for seeing a doctor can be at least half."

"Who is Lin Chaojing? Is his work really so valuable? "

"Lin Chaojing is a famous porcelain carving artist in the Ming Dynasty. He lived in the same age as he Chaozong. Although his things are not so famous as he Chaozong, their level is also very high..."

While the masses were talking about it, Aunt Li also asked, "old master, how much is my Buddha statue worth?"

Guan Guokang considered for a while, then said: "because the left hand of the Buddha is damaged, which affects its value, I estimate it can be worth about 150000!"

In fact, Guan Guokang also sympathizes with Aunt Li. If it wasn't for this occasion, he could offer more. Now, he can only offer a market price.

"There are so many?" Aunt Li was stunned, and then asked in surprise.

Guan Guokang nodded: "there are so many market prices for this statue of Buddha, but there is one thing I want to ask. Do you know what happened to the bottom cover of this statue of Buddha?"

"Bottom cover?" Aunt Li looked at the Buddha in doubt, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. When my husband left it to me, it looked like this. What's the problem?"

Guan Guokang shook his head. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Chu Chen got up, took the statue of Buddha, came up to him, pointed to the back, and said, "old Guan, can you go there for a while?"

Guan Guokang didn't ask much. He stood up and went to one side with Chu Chen. Several other experts also followed him."Xiao Chu, what's the matter with you?"

"Guanlao, I think there is something in this Buddha statue." Chuchen said with a smile.

"Why do you think there's something in it?" Guan Guokang asked with great interest.

"Because the bottom cover is really a bit of a nondescript, there is a feeling that there is no silver here." Chuchen returned with a smile.

Guan Guokang nodded: "this is also, you mean to pry open the bottom cover to have a look?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "pry it open, it's broken!"

"If you don't pry, how can you open the bottom cover?" Guan Guokang asked curiously.

"I wonder if you've ever heard of tuzhongtang?" Chuchen asked with a smile.

"Belly hall?" Guan Guokang was stunned, then patted his thigh and said, "Hi, why didn't I think of this!"

"What is the belly hall?" Lu Changshun beside him was curious.

Guan Guokang explained: "the belly hall is a kind of mechanism invented by the ancients, which is specially used to hide more precious objects."

After hearing what Guan Guokang said, everyone understood, so Lu Changshun asked, "since it's an organ, do you know how to open it?"

Chu Chen said: "I've opened it twice. If it's an ordinary belly nave, it can be opened with a needle. If you need a special key, it's more troublesome to open it."

As a matter of fact, he has met something related to tuzhongtang three times, but this time it was related to Zhang huoni's treasure map, so he didn't say it.

"Good boy, I have driven it twice. What good things have I met?" Guan Guokang asked with a smile.

"It's just a jade pendant and a yellow seal embryo." Chuchen said with a smile.

Wang Xiangong said with a smile, "that's not bad! I don't know what treasure is hidden in that Buddha statue! "

Chu Chen said: "this will only be known when it is opened, but it's only my guess. If it's not, the bottom cover will look a little ugly without paint. Or if it's not tuzhongtang, let me buy that Buddha statue? "

Guan Guokang said with a smile: "you're a good idea. I'm the first one to handle that Buddha statue. If you want to buy it, I have to buy it first!"

At this time, Zou Ying came over and asked with a smile: "dear teachers, have you discussed it?"

"It's all right. Let's go..."

When the experts got to their original position, Chu Chen said, "madam, we suspect that there is something hidden in your Buddha statue."

"Ah! Is there anything Aunt Li was very surprised to hear Chu Chen say so, and the masses were surprised and began to talk about it.

"Yes, there is something, but if you want to take it out, you have to scrape off the paint on the bottom cover, so I want to ask your opinion."

Speaking of this, Chu Chen quickly added: "if we guess wrong, we will buy it at the price just now."

Chu Chen's words cleared Aunt Li's worries. She nodded quickly and said, "then open it!"

Seeing that Aunt Li agreed, Chu Chen immediately asked the staff to take a knife and a needle and prepare to start painting.

"Miss Chu, you don't know how long it will take?" Xu asked, if the time is long, he will let other experts continue to identify.

Chuchen said with a smile: "a few minutes will be enough, but it has already delayed some time. Teachers should continue to identify it, but it has delayed some of my Tibetan friends' time."

"Nothing! It's all right All the Tibetans in front of Chu Chen said that they had nothing to do with it. They were also very curious at this time and wanted to see if there was anything hidden in the statue.

Opening the belly nave, Chu Chen was already familiar with it. Soon he scraped most of the paint on the bottom cover, revealing the traces of the square in the middle and the keyhole.

Because he knew that it was just an ordinary mechanism through Lingbao eye in advance, Chu Chen picked up the needle and stabbed it into the keyhole. With a "Ba", the lid in the middle popped out.

"Well, there's something hidden in it!" Seeing this, someone immediately called out at the scene of the treasure appraisal activity.

"Ha ha, it's really strange. Next time I see a Buddha like this, I must try it. Maybe there's something hidden in it?"

"You can do it! It's the first time I've met this kind of situation. If it's such a good thing everywhere, then everyone can get rich. "

"Yes! Yes! I guess some unscrupulous businessmen may deliberately press a lid under the Buddha statue and paint it, so as to lure you to the bait! "

"It's possible for you to say that! No, I really need to pay attention to this. Don't be fooled at that time... "

Just as the crowd was talking, Chu Chen also took out the things in the Buddha statue. It was a small Tianhuang seal that he had seen with Lingbao eye in advance.
