When he noticed a strong "treasure light" shrouding the store, He Qing couldn't help but cheer up. He walked straight inside, and Zhu Wen naturally followed closely behind.
This antique store is relatively large in scale. The shelves on both sides of the store are full of dazzling arrays of exquisite antiques. Of course, the one that caught He Qing's attention the most was the red-glow treasure.
Soon, He Qing followed the direction of the aura and discovered the treasure. It was a thin book with an antique cover and a very charming charm.
"Brother Qing, are you here to buy something?" Zhu Wen suddenly whispered in his ear.
He Qing shook his head and replied: "No, we are here to find someone's residence, but since we are here, let's take a stroll first and search as we go."
"Yeah, okay." Zhu Wen nodded and agreed. He admired He Qing very much. After something like that happened, he still had the time to visit the antique street and hunt for antiques.
"Two young men, what do you want to buy?" At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked over and asked with a smile.
He Qing turned to look at the female shopkeeper, shook his head and said, "Boss, let's take a look first."
"Well, then you can watch as you like. If you need anything, just call me." The woman said enthusiastically.
"Well, thank you." He Qing nodded and said, "Boss, can I get my hands on this thing and take a look?"
"Of course, please feel free to look at it." The woman agreed.
"Thank you." He Qing thanked him, then stretched out his hands and carefully picked up the booklet.
The book was really thin and very light to hold. After opening it, He Qing realized that it was not a book but a hand scroll, but the scroll was relatively small and it was a short scroll.
"Brother Qing, this is a scripture!" Zhu Wen said in surprise after He Qing opened the scroll.
He Qing nodded and said, "Yes, it's a scripture."
They immediately confirmed that the text on the scroll was a scripture. The text on it was in a dignified font and the layout was very regular. It didn't look like a handwritten manuscript, but printed.
"Young man, you have really good taste," the woman said with a smile. "The scroll you are holding is an out-of-print Diamond Sutra. It is a woodblock print from the Tang Dynasty."
"Oh, really?" Hearing this, He Qing said with a faint smile. The other party said that the sutra was an engraving of the "Diamond Sutra". Naturally, he would not believe it. To be precise, he could not believe that the so-called out-of-print "Diamond Sutra"
》He has heard of it before, but it is just a legend, no one can see it in reality.
"Well, yes." The woman nodded vigorously.
"I'll take another look." He Qing said. Although he didn't believe what the other party said, he had a strong sense of curiosity and wanted to find out what that thing was.
This is very simple, he just needs to move his eyes a little, because he can directly see the ins and outs of things.
"Look. Let me go away for a moment. There are other guests here." The woman greeted.
"Well, you go and do your work." He Qing nodded.
Then the man turned and walked away, while He Qing and Zhu Wen stayed where they were.
"Brother Qing, she said this was an engraving of the Diamond Sutra or an out-of-print product. Who would believe it?!" Zhu Wen whispered after the boss walked away.
He Qing nodded in agreement and said: "Xiao Wen, you are right. It should not be an out-of-print Diamond Sutra. I heard that there was only one engraving of the Diamond Sutra in the Tang Dynasty. The Diamond Sutra is still very incomplete. It is now being used by the British
Someone took it away and kept it abroad. Your stuff was passed down from our ancestors, but we may not even have a chance to appreciate it. It’s so sad to think about it. But I didn’t expect to see such a complete out-of-print book here today.
Diamond Sutra!"
"Brother Qing, don't you believe what the boss said?" After hearing He Qing's last words, Zhu Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "How is this possible?! How is it possible that a treasure as big as the national treasure of the Diamond Sutra is possible?
Showing up in a small antique shop?"
He Qing said disapprovingly: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. After all, no one knows where the Diamond Sutra of the Tang Dynasty has gone. The British sutra may not be authentic, let alone an orphan!"
"Brother Qing, you are right. There is indeed such a possibility. There are all possibilities. Nothing is absolute." Zhu Wen nodded heavily and said, "From what you say, do you think highly of this scripture?"
"Anyway, I think it's pretty good." He Qing nodded, "But don't rush to conclusions yet, take a closer look before talking."
"Well, you have such a good eye, you can't go wrong with what you look for." Zhu Wen replied.
Then He Qing concentrated his gaze and gazed at the intense "treasure light" emanating from the "Diamond Sutra" for an instant. As soon as he focused his gaze, the red light gathered in front of his eyes.
The next moment, scenes of images flashed before his eyes, like watching a revolving lantern. By looking at the ins and outs of the scripture, He Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he was shocked and said: "That's it! I didn't expect that this scripture is really like this."
Amazing origin!”
"Okay." After reading it, He Qing nodded solemnly.
"Brother Qing, what's wrong?" Zhu Wen asked in surprise after hearing He Qing talking to himself.
He Qing came to his senses and said, "Xiao Wen, this scripture is really good. I want to get it."
"Are you sure this is a good thing?" Zhu Wen said doubtfully. Although he believed in He Qing's vision, what they were appraising was an unusual antique after all. It was the out-of-print "Diamond Sutra", which was as high-end national treasure as any.
How can such a giant treasure be judged so easily?
He Qing nodded and said: "Well, it's almost the same. Even if it's not a unique engraving from the Tang Dynasty, it is still an imitation from ancient times. The collection value is there."
"I believe this." Zhu Wen responded.
He Qing said: "Let's talk to the boss first and see how we can sell this thing."
Zhu Wendao: "It shouldn't cost much. I'll call the boss over and ask her and she'll know."
"Well." He Qing said, "If the price is more suitable, then buy it. This kind of thing is rare!"
After the conversation was settled, Zhu Wen greeted the female boss who was standing aside.
Hearing his cry, the woman quickly came over and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
He Qing weighed the scripture in his hand and said, "Boss, how can I sell this scripture?"
The woman replied: "Twenty thousand. Twenty thousand yuan, not a penny less!"
He Qing and the woman negotiated the price carefully, but the other party did not give in at all, so He Qing had no choice but to agree and quickly paid the corresponding funds.
After the money was delivered, the scripture fell into He Qing's hands.
After getting the scriptures, He Qing and Zhu Wen were about to walk out of the antique store. Unexpectedly, at this moment, two people walked in in a hurry. (To be continued...
