It was not someone else who entered the door, but Bi Jiahao and Xiao Ma who lived next door...
They also received news from Bi Yue that Wang Ding had obtained the treasure.
"Brother Wang Ding, I heard that you went out and got back with a good item? Why didn't you say that you were calling me to go with me..."
When Wang Dingzheng looked at the ivory sculpture with all his attention, Bi Jiahao's voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Looking up, he found that Bi Jiahao and Xiaoma had come into the house at some point.
"I thought you were resting. You were going to participate in the public market tomorrow, so I didn't bother you... And when I went out, Bi Yue called me, are we two? Don't you want us to walk more?"
Wang Ding said humorously, but Bi Jiahao had no reason to say that Wang Ding was right and wrong.
"What treasure did you pick up?"
"There is no treasure, it's just a ivory carving." Wang Ding smiled bitterly.
"Idiot carving." Xiaoma surrounded him first and looked at him. "Good thing, it's really good thing. Such a big ivory Buddha carving is really rare. And looking at the shape and dentin, it should be something from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Wang
Boss, you've got a lot of money..."
Xiaoma is also very knowledgeable about antiques. Bi Jiahao seemed very excited when he said this. He touched the magnifying glass from somewhere. Bi Jiahao pushed the magnifying glass and watched it for a long time around the ivory sculpture.
At the same time, Bi Jiahao looked at Wang Ding with his eyes. This Wang Ding was simply amazing. He could encounter interesting things everywhere he went. This ivory sculpture was obviously an old object in China, but he could actually find it in Myanmar. And bet
Shi He can do that so powerful, this guy is simply the best.
As soon as his eyes turned, Bi Jiahao actually wanted Wang Ding to sell this item to him. Seven or eight million was nothing to Bi Jiahao, but Bi Jiahao also knew that Wang Ding would not give him such a good thing.
So after taking a few more glances, after Wang Ding's eyes remained so firm, Bi Jiahao also gave up his plan to buy this top-quality ivory carving from Wang Ding.
"It's a good thing, so you have to keep it well. Although the security of this hotel is good, I still recommend you put it in the hotel safe."
"Well, I understand, but I still have to take a look at this ivory sculpture first, thank you Brother Bi."
"Well, it's okay, then you can continue watching. Xiaoma and I just came over and took a look, then we'll leave first." Bi Jiahao just came over and saw something good that Wang Ding had picked up. He knew that Wang Ding would not be able to see him when he saw him.
If you change hands, you don’t mean to stay.
He told Wang Ding to have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow's public auction. Wang Ding said yes, "Okay, okay," and also sent the two out of the room, closed the door, and returned to the ivory carving. Wang Ding looked at it again, the mysterious ivory carving.
The wax ball made him feel really itchy.
If he didn't take it out today, Wang Ding would not have a good rest.
"Brother Wang Ding, this place doesn't seem to be touched, otherwise it wouldn't be so regular, right?"
In fact, when I saw Wang Ding keeping looking at the armpits of the ivory carving figure, Qian Le also discovered the secret. It was just that Bi Jiahao and Xiao Ma came over just now, and Qian Le didn't say it.
Qian Le discovered the repaired area. Although the traces of repairing were already very faint, Qian Le still saw that the shape did not seem to be bumped.
"Hmm? You can see it too? It does not look like a crack that was touched, but it seems like it was dug out, a bit like a small door that was deliberately opened. In ancient times, people often like to hide treasures in the belly of the Buddha statues worshipped.
Do you think there is something here too?”
Wang Ding glanced at Qian Le and deliberately guided him with words. Wang Ding did not want to take out the things inside without hiding Qian Le, so he had to have a suitable reason.
"Brother Wang Ding, you are joking..."
Qian Le didn't believe it very much, so what treasure would be hidden in the Buddha statue's belly if it's okay.
"Just? All I said is true. Haven't you heard of it?..."
Wang Ding said that ancient people often liked to hide treasures in the Buddha statues they worshiped, and they did not talk nonsense, but there were allusions in history.
During the Han Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced to China from India, and in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties, its development reached its peak of prosperity. The level of Buddhism exceeded India and made China replace India as the center of world Buddhism.
At that time, the status of Buddhists was quite high, and almost all temples had a large amount of land and no taxes were required.
During that period, although there were many eminent monks like Xuanzang and Jianzhen, there were even more scum in Buddhism. There were countless cases of bullying men and dominating women and occupying fertile land in the houses. It was just that the emperor believed in Buddhism and local officials
Most of them turn a blind eye and don’t care about it at all.
After consolidating a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, those flower monks used the name of casting Buddha to burn and cast many large bronze Buddhas. They looked like solid Buddha statues, but in fact, they were hidden inside.
Mystery, the belly of the Buddha statue is empty, and there are huge wealth collected by the monks.
So this is learned from history.
It is also because of this that the three most famous Buddhist destruction movements in Chinese history were in China. These three Buddhist destruction occurred during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and Emperor Wuzong of Tang. This is also an irony, especially during Emperor Wuzong of Tang, temples across the country.
Almost all of them were destroyed, and millions of monks and nuns were ordered to return to secular life, which almost led to the demise of Buddhism in China.
After the reason, the official statement is naturally caused by the political special surname of "the power of the divine is absolutely subject to the power of the king" inherent in Chinese society. The emperor felt that his authority was challenged by the illusory divine power, so he wanted to destroy it.
Buddha.
This is far from that, but these historical facts are enough to prove that treasures can be hidden in the belly of the Buddha statue.
"Brother Wang Ding, what you said is true? But there should be no treasure hidden in this Buddha statue, because it is so small..."
Qian Le heard the story told by Wang Ding with relish, but he gestured at the repaired place but did not believe that there was something hidden in it.
"Who knows if there is one? You have to take out the ivory that filled in to know..."
Wang Ding followed Qian Le's words and said, but he wanted to avoid damaging the Buddha sculpture. It was not easy to take out the things inside, because the silicone used for repair was completely integrated with the ivory. It was difficult to pick it out.
Very big.
Qian Le couldn't help laughing when he saw Wang Ding's frowning look and said, "Brother Wang Ding, do you really want to take out this repaired ivory? I have a way."
"Of course, think about it, this is a good Buddhist sculpture, who will be idle and have nothing to do to make a hole from here? Maybe there is something good inside. Let's take it out and see, we won't suffer any loss. I'll find someone to redeem it.
Repair it, the workmanship is definitely better than this one…”
Wang Ding is telling the truth. This thing is repaired with silicone, which really ruined this ivory-carved Buddha statue. There are many materials in modern times that can be repaired so that people can't tell at all that it has been repaired.
"Okay, Brother Wang Ding, if you want to get rid of me, you will have a trick. Wait for me for a while and you will be back soon..."
Qian Le gestured at the repaired place, talked to Wang Ding, and walked out of the room.
"This kid..."
Wang Ding shook his head and looked at the thing with some distress. The thing was not his own before, and he was not particularly anxious. Now that the thing is in front of him, he cannot take it out. Wang Ding is in a panic.
When Qian Le went to find something, Wang Ding also tried to use his superpowers to identify the paper balls there, but the paper balls were kneaded together. Although Wang Ding's current superpowers were very powerful, he could not put the paper balls on first.
Open, then look at the words above. If your ability can move objects, or it may be... But there is still a difficulty. The space here is too small, so I guess it can't be done.
So sad!
"Brother Wang Ding, I'm back..."
About twenty minutes later, when Wang Ding was still frowning, Qian Le walked into the room. When Wang Ding saw him holding an alcohol stove in his right hand, his eyes lit up.
"Qian Le, do you want to burn the needle red and then decontaminate the silicone used as filler? But we don't know how deep this piece of ivory was..."
Wang Ding originally felt that this was a good idea, but when he thought about it, the ivory block filled in was six or seven centimeters long, and the ordinary needle could not penetrate at all, while the very long needle was
It's too thick and can't be inserted, so this method is still undesirable.
"This is long enough, right?"
Qian Le raised his left hand, and Wang Ding then realized that Qian Le had a very thin steel wire on both fingers of his left hand, which was about 20 to 30 centimeters in length. Wang Ding flicked the steel wire with his hand and found that
He was extremely tough and couldn't help but feel happy. All the problems were solved now.
"This steel wire business! Good boy, you have a good job. So, there is a treasure inside, you're counting one..."
Wang Ding took out the lighter from his pocket and lit the alcohol stove. Qian Le put one end of the thin steel wire on the fire core and roasted it. The thing itself was heat-conducting, but in just over a dozen seconds,
There was a piece of steel wire that was still burned red.
Wang Ding looked at the steel wire on Qian Le's hand and reminded him: "The length is probably not enough. If you burn it a little red, it will melt faster..."
The steel wire in Qian Le's hand began to move up the flames. Not long after, the three or five centimeters of the front end of the steel wire was burned red. Qian Le walked down again, and the distance between burning red was even more
It's far away.
"Give it to me..."
Of course, Wang Ding had to hold the knife himself, and had the ability to see through. Wang Ding would not burn or destroy the ball of paper.
The ivory carving was placed horizontally on the ground, reached out and took the steel wire from Qian Le's hand, and inserted it into the silicone gap in the repair area. The red steel wire was like a knife cutting tofu, without any effort, just put it
The silicone inside melted.
With an unpleasant smell of burnt rubber, a wisp of blue smoke emerged from Wang Ding's starting point. Wang Ding slashed the steel wire along the gap to the side, knowing that the touch was awkward and seemed to be insufficiently heated.
At that time, Wang Ding quickly pulled out the steel wire, and a layer of gelatinous substance was attached to the steel wire.
"Continue to burn... Be careful not to destroy the inside."
Wang Ding handed Qian Le the steel wire, stood up and opened the window of the hotel room, not caring about the air conditioner in the room. The smell of burnt rubber smelled so bad.
This steel wire conducts heat quickly, but it dissipates heat very fast. Basically, it burns red once and can only dissolve silicone with a width of two or three centimeters. Wang Ding and Qian Le were busy for more than two hours before they could be considered as having the ivory with that piece of ivory.
The silicone that was fused together melted.
At this time, Qian Le took out a knife like a wolf's teeth and pried the ivory block that was stuffed into it as a filling.
The blade of the knife is extremely thin and can be inserted into a depth of about one centimeter. As Qian Le's wrist flips, the ivory protrudes up little by little, and finally plays between the blade and the ivory wall.
Under the principle of leverage, with a "pop", the small ivory was picked out, and a circular hole of three or four centimeters square was exposed under the armpit of the ivory carving.
"Brother Wang Ding, there is nothing here?"
Naturally, his hand couldn't reach in. Qian Le picked up the ivory sculpture backwards and shook the hole down, but nothing came out.
Wang Ding did not answer, but took the burned black steel wire, walked to the bathroom to clean it, wiped it dry, twisted a section of the steel wire into a hook shape, and then said to Qian Le: "Put it."
Lift up a little, and the hole is down. I'll use this thing to take a look..."
Wang Ding naturally knew whether there was anything inside, and he also knew that the reason why the wax ball was not poured out by Qian Le was because when the silicone was dissolved just now, some silicone dripped onto the wax balls, although the wax balls melted.
But he stuck it into the abdominal wall...
It took a while for the silicone to cool down. After Wang Ding stirred the holes with the thin steel wire, two globular wax balls of eyeballs rolled out from it.
"Is there really something?"
Qian Le kept staring at the one there with his head in a tandem. Seeing Wang Dingzhen fiddled out something from inside, he was so surprised that he almost threw out the ivory statue in his hand.
"Brother Wang Ding, what is this?"
Carefully put the ivory carving on the ground, Qian Le put it in front of Wang Ding and looked carefully at the two wax balls that were taken off by Wang Ding in his left hand, with a confused expression on his face.
The wax balls are not very secretly made. The white wax skin is full of cracks. It looks a bit like it is burned with ordinary candles at home, kneaded into a ball, and then dried. From the cracks, you can see vaguely
To the ball of paper inside.
"You ask me, I don't know what this is. Just pinch it and look at it..."
Wang Ding said it, and couldn't help but be excited. The answer was in his hand. Wang Ding was a little excited. He took a deep breath and pinched a wax ball with his right thumb and index finger. With a little force, the wax ball would break
After it opened, the white dry wax fell on the ground, and the one left in Wang Ding's hand was a piece of paper that was folded several times in half, and the color turned yellow and rolled up. It was this piece of paper!
"Is it a piece of paper?"
Qian Le was a little disappointed. He thought he was hiding two golden beans or diamonds here, but he didn't expect that it was just a piece of paper here.
"I'll look at this."
Qian Le crushed another wax ball. He was about to rush to open the paper ball, but Wang Ding stopped him, "Don't be anxious first, put this paper ball here, maybe it's something, is there any on it
What harmful substances, or can’t be touched. Let’s talk about them with gloves!”
Wang Ding calmly took out a pair of white gloves from the suitcase he brought and put them on his hand. At this time, he couldn't be nervous. Then Wang Ding took out a magnifying glass, and Wang Ding felt a feeling in his heart.
There seems to be a huge secret hidden in these two paper balls.
After preparing, Wang Ding carefully folded a piece of paper with Qian Le's curious eyes. The paper didn't seem very good, because it was a bit fragile because it took a long time.
If you are not careful, it will be broken.
Although it looks very small after folding into a ball, after Wang Ding spread it on the table, it was as big as a magazine page and did not need a magnifying glass in his hand. Wang Ding also recognized it. This is a map
, the mountains, rivers, terrain and railways are drawn on them in detail, but... in some markings, "Yuwen" is used.
What kind of bird singing is this?
Although Wang Ding does not understand the Japanese, the Japanese script itself evolved from Chinese characters. Except for some modified inappropriate characters, the rest of the Japanese script can be seen, so Wang Ding probably recognized that this is the Japanese script.
.And those annotated words seem to be Burmese place names.
Qian Le was also a little surprised. After looking at it for a while, he said, "Brother Wang Ding, this is a drawing..."
"Nonsense, of course I know this is a drawing..."
Wang Ding was a little amused by Qian Le's words. The drawings were so detailed that everyone could see.
"No, I mean this is a military drawing, which was drawn by me. It should have been in the forties of the last century..."
"Military drawings, for war?" Wang Ding naturally knew that the small island country had launched a lot of aggressive wars, and Myanmar was undoubtedly a place that had become his own hinterland. I think Qian Le was right.
It is an introduction to the terrain of Myanmar, but it was definitely a very important confidential document at that time, otherwise it would not have been hidden in this silicone.
"Not care about this for now, isn't there another one? Let's see what the other one is..." (To be continued.)
