People watching the excitement at the door also poured in. I don’t know who yelled at the top of their voice, attracting people nearby. A pot of heaven will definitely come. In the past two years, there has been no such thing as a pot of heaven.
Something like this happened before. Although everyone didn't think much of Chen Ran, they couldn't help but watch the fun.
The second floor of Yihutian is somewhat similar to an ancient teahouse. Standing downstairs, you can also see the scene in the hall upstairs. There are also some exhibition halls in the hall on the second floor, but there are not many things, only about a dozen pieces.
"This is the Yue kiln green glaze incense burner from Lin's family. Brother Chen, can you take a look at it?" Boss Du took out the Lin family's heirloom incense burner and placed it in front of Chen Ran, then smiled.
He squinted at Chen Ran.
Since this incense burner was defrauded, Boss Du has regarded it as a treasure of the store, or for fishing. Now it depends on whether Chen Ran can come up with the corresponding treasure.
Although the store was crowded with people for a while, it was very quiet. At this moment, they all looked at Chen Ran, obviously wanting to see what kind of treasure Chen Ran brought, but they were not very optimistic about Chen Ran.
My dear, I'm afraid I'm going to be deceived by this guy.
Although Boss Du said that this incense burner was an heirloom of the Lin family, Chen Ran couldn't believe what he said. It was obviously impossible to ask Xiaoqiang. Xiaoqiang had never seen it before and didn't tell him. Even if he had seen it, who knew whether Boss Du would take it?
Here comes a fake.
At this time, he didn't have much time to appreciate it. Chen Ran glanced at it and directly used the energy aperture to detect it. This incense burner was indeed a Yue kiln celadon incense burner from the Jin Dynasty.
Chen Ran had already learned the origin of the Lin family heirloom from Mr. Lin, so the incense burner in front of him was indeed an heirloom of the Lin family.
The incense burner is also a kind of magic weapon, but this kind of incense burner does not have the kind of breath that can make people feel peaceful. This also let Chen Ran know that the energy aperture cannot feel the breath, which does not mean that it is not a good thing, but
What is certain is that a magic weapon whose energy aperture can sense breath is definitely a good thing.
"This is a Buddhist bead I brought. Whether it's worth the price depends on whether Boss Du has the discernment."
Chen Ran pretended to take out the beads from his pocket and put them on the table with his fingers. He just took the time to go up the stairs and took the beads off the copper lantern.
From the sound and feel of this prayer bead, it should be mainly made of red agate. I don’t know what kind of special processing it has undergone. From the surface, you can’t tell its material at all. The color is a bit deep and it looks very inconspicuous.
There are countless materials used to make beads. Whether they are minerals or plants, bamboo, wood, teeth, or horns can all be used to make beads. But in fact, there are records in Buddhist scriptures about the materials that can be used to make beads.
But they are very limited, with no more than ten kinds at most, which is really incomparable with the many and complicated categories today.
In Buddhism, beads made of the "seven treasures" are the most noble and noble, and agate is one of the seven treasures.
Seeing that Chen Ran took out only one Buddhist bead, everyone present was a little strange. According to the use of Buddhist beads, they can be divided into three categories: holding beads, wearing beads, and hanging beads. Holding beads means pinching or twisting beads with your hands.
The Buddhist beads for chanting and the pendant beads are the beads worn on the wrist or arm. As the name suggests, the hanging beads are the beads hung around the neck. However, no matter which of the three types, they are in strings, and Chen Ran took out
But there is only one. If there is only one, it cannot be called a Buddhist bead because it is incomplete.
Boss Du saw that Chen Ran took out only one Buddhist bead, but his expression did not change. He still smiled and squinted his eyes. When Chen Ran put the Buddhist beads on the table, he took out a magnifying glass to observe, but because of the surface of the beads,
It seems to have been eroded by something, and you can't see anything. You can only see that the Buddhist bead in front of you should be a mother bead. A standard string of beads includes mother beads, child beads, separated beads, and disciple beads.
It is composed of Ji Ziliu and some ornaments.
There is usually only one mother bead, commonly known as "Buddha head". Obviously, in a string of beads, the mother bead is the most important one. Just because it is a mother bead, it does not mean that it can prove its value.
It’s high, but from Boss Du’s point of view, this Buddhist bead should already belong to the category of magical implements. Generally, it can be called any equipment used to make offerings to the Buddhas, decorate the Taoist temple, practice Buddhist Dharma, and practice the perfect Buddha path.
For example, what is sold in Yihutian shop is a magic weapon, and the incense burner of the Lin family is also a magic weapon, but in fact these are just fake magic weapons, and they can only be blessed by eminent monks or used by eminent monks.
Only an object can be called a real magic weapon, that is, an object that can feel the breath of Chen Ran's energy aperture is a real magic weapon.
Of course, although the Lin family's incense burner is not a real magic weapon, it is a rare antique and is equally valuable.
Boss Du's eyesight is still good. Although he did not see the origin of this Buddhist bead, he could tell at a glance that this Buddhist bead should be a real magical weapon. However, magical weapons are also divided into three and six grades. Like Chen
However, the string of beads and the lotus pedestal that I bought are naturally not of the same level, and the lotus pedestal is not considered a treasure in the eyes of Boss Du, so whether the beads are a treasure or not remains to be seen after handling them.
After asking Chen Ran for permission, Boss Du went to wash his hands, then took the beads in his hand and rubbed them.
Many places say that Buddhist beads that have been illuminated cannot be touched by others. In fact, this statement is somewhat misunderstood. It is not that Buddhist beads that have been illuminated cannot be touched by others. The teachings of Buddhism emphasize that the Buddha is in the heart.
All living beings are equal. The Lord Buddha can feed an eagle with his own body, let alone a Buddha bead. The owner lets others touch the beads he asked for. To be honest, this is a good thing, because it is called giving, and it allows others to share the Buddha's grace. This is
It also reflects the compassion of Buddhism. Of course, you can touch it, but you must get the permission of the owner. If the owner does not allow it and touches it by force, it is disrespectful to the Buddha. The owner allows it, but when you want to touch it, your hands must be
It is necessary to be clean. Even if your hands are very clean, in order to show respect for the owner, it is best to wash your hands.
After the Buddha beads were held in Boss Du's hand, the expression on his face slowly changed. From the previous carelessness, he became serious. His eyesight for magical instruments was not very good, but he felt it.
In fact, everyone has a feeling when they hold some good things in their hands. It's just this feeling that ordinary people don't pay attention to at all, or are simply ignored. However, some people have experienced it a lot, so naturally
There will be a sense of familiarity, just like the feel of the hand. If you touch something a lot, you will know if it is true or false if you close your eyes and touch it. The same is true for this good thing. Practice makes perfect. Boss Du has many magic weapons in his hands. This one
As soon as the beads passed through his hands, he felt a sense of piety.
There are three or six levels of magical instruments. Let’s not talk about fake magical instruments. Real magical instruments can also be divided into good and bad. A magical instrument that can make people feel pious is absolutely priceless.
Before this, Boss Du had only seen one such magical artifact. This magical artifact was also a Buddhist bead. It was passed to him by his father before he left. It was blessed and worn by an eminent monk from Shaolin Temple.
.
When Boss Du opened the Yihutian store, he specially asked this master to conduct a feng shui survey for him, and this Buddhist bead was also used as a house decoration.
The prayer bead in front of him gave him a sense of piety that was somewhat different from the one passed down from his family. The prayer bead passed down from his family gave him a very strong sense of piety, but the one in front of him was weaker and seemed to be far away.
It was a strange feeling that seemed to come from far away.
Although it felt weaker than the one passed down from his family, the one in front of him was definitely a priceless treasure. Realizing this, he was already thinking about how to get this bead. After all, such treasures are passed down from generation to generation.
There are not many, and they are definitely rarer than those heavy vessels from official kilns. Only the older generation of practitioners wear such beads.
At this time, he did not associate the Buddhist beads in front of him with the Buddhist beads passed down from his family.
When Boss Du was observing the Buddhist bead, Chen Ran was also observing Boss Du. He wanted to see if Boss Du could recognize the Buddhist bead, but it didn't matter whether Boss Du could recognize it or not, he didn't care.
Come out, forget it, even if Boss Du recognizes it, he can't help it. What to do next depends on whether Boss Du attaches great importance to this Buddhist bead.
According to Chen Ran's observation, Boss Du probably didn't recognize it. I don't know whether it was because Boss Du didn't know the product or because he had never seen this Buddhist bead before.
"Good stuff..." At this time, Boss Du moved his eyes away from the beads and looked at Chen Ran with a harmless smile: "Brother Chen..."
This kind of Buddhist beads are hard to come by, and Boss Du encountered them today. He would not let them go. As soon as he rolled his eyes, he had an idea.
"Brother Chen, let's make a long story short. Since you are here to redeem something, you must know that I have a rule here. As long as someone can find a leak in my store, you can choose any item in my store. Let's
How about just following this agreement? You can set the time limit, but before the end of the time limit, this Buddhist bead needs to be kept with me. When you win, old man, I will definitely return it to Zhao intact, and as agreed, let you
How about taking away the Lin family's incense burner...do you dare, little brother Chen, to take a gamble like this with me, the old man?"
A pot of heaven is a sure bet. Boss Du has made such a rule that as long as someone can pick up a leak in a pot of heaven, he can choose one at will.
After setting this rule, it can be said that many experts in the industry came to "check for leaks". However, it turned out that there was no good stuff in Yipottian. Even if there was, it was clearly marked with a price. How could one find leaks? This caused a lot of trouble.
People secretly scolded Boss Du for speaking out. After all these years, no one has ever heard of anyone saying that someone could pick up a leak in a pot.
Boss Du had figured out what Chen Ran was thinking. In addition, seeing that Chen Ran was young, he bullied Chen Ran into being young and energetic. He was afraid that Chen Ran wouldn't dare, so he even used provoking methods.
Chen Ran was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't know that Yihutian had such a rule...
Boss Du's words also caused a commotion in the crowd watching the excitement downstairs. Tourists from out of town were all interested, but people who knew the situation secretly cursed Boss Du for being shameless. Some well-wishers even reminded Chen Ran,
Xiaoqiang also quickly grabbed Chen Ran and told Chen Ran the situation, hoping to dissuade Chen Ran from taking a gamble with Boss Du.
Although Xiaoqiang is not familiar with Chen Ran, he brought Chen Ran anyway, and Chen Ran also wanted to redeem his family's heirloom. Seeing this situation, he naturally couldn't ignore it.
"How about it, little brother Chen, do you dare to take a gamble with me?" Boss Du advised Chen Ran to others, but he didn't care at all. He just looked at Chen Ran with a smile and squinted his eyes, looking determined.
He looked at Chen Ran, and he was indeed determined to win over Chen Ran. Since Chen Ran had heard of his name, he dared to bet with him with such a priceless treasure, which is enough to show that the Lin family's incense burner is very important to Chen Ran.
Chen Ran's importance has been reduced, so there is only one way to redeem the incense burner from him. Since he has already proposed this bet, it will not be changed, so Chen Ran only has this one way.
The solution is unless Chen Ran doesn't want the incense burner.
"You will win if you bet. You are old, why are you still so shameless..." Just as Boss Du was waiting for Chen Ran's reply, a voice suddenly came from the crowd at the entrance of the store.
[I wanted to post two chapters together to finish the plot, but seeing as it’s so late, I’d better post one chapter first...]
