After briefly explaining to Chen Bao the rules of holding hands in the domestic antique shop, the two continued to stroll around the ghost market.≥,
"By the way, Brother Dong, I saw that the bead necklace you bought just now looks ugly. Is it really an antique?"
"It doesn't look good?" Liu Dong shook his head, and then asked, "Do you know about Dzi beads?"
"Dzi beads? I don't know!" Chen Bao shook his head honestly.
Liu Dong is not surprised by this. Many people in China don't know much about Dzi beads now, let alone Chen Bao, a Chinese who grew up in the UK!
"Dzi beads are a sacred object of Tibetan Buddhism, which means solemn, special, auspicious, rich, endowed, beautiful, noble, and elegant. From ancient times to the present, Tibetans generally believe that dzi beads are worn by gods and have special
Jewelry with powerful magic power is a special and auspicious jewelry that is sprinkled to the world by gods to help humans overcome hardships and disasters, turn misfortune into good fortune, and turn adversity into good fortune. Therefore, the more precious the dzi beads are, the more they are favored by Tibetans.
As well as the popularity among Buddhists, it is no exaggeration to say that it is worth thousands of gold!" Liu Dong explained.
"so smart?"
"What do you think? If it weren't for the extraordinary significance of Dzi beads and the rare number of natural ancient Dzi beads, do you think I would buy it so happily?" With that, Liu Dong took out the Dzi bead bracelet he just bought and cherished it.
After rubbing it for a while.
"Brother Dong, can you show me?"
Seeing the curious look on Chen Bao's face, Liu Dong handed over the bead string, "Look, but don't break it, this is a 500-year-old 'Sky Eye Dzi Bead'!"
"Heavenly Eyes and Dzi Beads?" Chen Bao asked like a curious child.
"Well, the Sky Eye Dzi Bead is also called the Sky Eye Stone. It is a rare gemstone. It is a type of sedimentary rock. It contains jade and agate. Some people also say that it is a Martian meteorite. It has been mined and processed by the Tibetans since very early times.
Cheng Dzi beads. According to the material of the Sky Eye Stone, it can be divided into one to thirteen eyes, aquarium, lotus, tiger pattern, heaven and earth, horse teeth, thread beads, disc beads, longevity beads, etc. According to the appearance, age
To determine its value, there are many with one or two eyes, and there are fewer with more than three eyes. If there are more than nine or ten eyes, the price is sky-high!"
"How much does a thirteen-eyed dzi bead cost?" Chen Bao asked curiously after nodding.
"I don't know either!"
"Don't know? Don't you understand very clearly?"
"I know about Dzi Beads, but the Thirteen Eyes Dzi Beads have always been just legends. No one knows whether they exist or not! If you describe it, it is the same as the Chinese Heshi Jade. No one can be sure of its existence.
It doesn’t exist, so the price is naturally incalculable!”
After explaining, Liu Dong glanced at Chen Bao and took the string of beads from his hand, "Although I can't tell you the price of Thirteen Eyes Dzi Beads, if it is a Nine Eyes Dzi Bead, it will cost no less than 300.
Ten thousand!"
"3 million? 200,000 pounds, so it's not too expensive!" Chen Bao frowned.
For him who grew up in a wealthy family, £200,000 is indeed not a big number!
After hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at him and said nothing more!
Three million Chinese coins is just the market price of the 'Nine-Eyed Dzi Beads' mentioned by Liu Dong! If these Nine-Eyed Dzi Beads were consecrated by Buddhist monks, or have been worn for decades and become Buddhist utensils, then...
The value easily doubled.
Moreover, Nine-Eyed Dzi Beads have a price but no market!
Nowadays, it is not just something you can buy if you have money, you also need opportunity!
Thinking of this, Liu Dong's mind moved, and then he saw that with the repair of the relic Yuan Guang, all the natural paint and dust on the nine Dzi beads were swept away. Nine translucent beads were exposed, shining in the dim light around them.
Dzi beads with amber color.
Each Dzi bead has eyes that look like tree rings. Liu Dong quickly counted and found that there were nine 'eyes' on the eight Dzi beads, and although the middle one was not
The most precious Thirteen Eyes Dzi Beads are only slightly inferior to the Thirteen Eyes Dzi Beads!
Feeling the Buddha's light surging on the Dzi Bead, Liu Dong suppressed the excitement in his heart and did not use the relic to absorb it. In addition to not wanting this Dzi Bead to lose the most precious Buddha's light, the most important thing is that these Buddha's lights are fundamentally
I can’t wish him to break through to his current level of internal strength.
It’s tasteless to eat, so it’s a pity to throw it away! Just leave it in!
After all, this is a treasure no less than that of the national treasure Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead enshrined in the Jokhang Temple in Tibet!
And because of the scarcity of raw materials, fewer and fewer of these two old Dzi beads, Faluo Dzi Beads and Tianyan Dzi Beads, have been handed down!
After thinking for a while, Liu Dong put this precious string of nine-eyed dzi beads on his wrist!
Liu Dong naturally also likes things that represent the beautiful vision of mankind.
But just when he put on the Dzi Bead, he heard an ear-shattering shout from behind him!
"stop!"
The familiar voice made Liu Dong turn around immediately, and then he saw Chen Bao grabbing the arm of a middle-aged man wearing a black coat with an excited expression.
"What are you doing?" The middle-aged man was obviously startled by Chen Bao's loud voice.
However, after using the flashlight to see Chen Bao's face clearly, the panic on his face disappeared! While he breathed a sigh of relief, he obviously recognized Chen Bao.
"What are you doing? Yesterday afternoon, you were the one who blew a broken bottle worth one hundred yuan into a piece of porcelain made by the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. I spent more than ten thousand yuan in vain and fell into your trap.
!I originally wanted to wait until dawn before looking for you, but I didn’t expect to run into you here again. Come on, follow me to the Public Security Bureau!” Chen Bao took the middle-aged man’s arm and walked out.
"Hey, I said there's something wrong with you, isn't it? Don't you know whether you understand the rules, take action without regrets, and find a way out when you suffer a loss?" After shaking off Chen Bao's hand, the middle-aged man said loudly
.
The atmosphere in the ghost market was originally very quiet, and everyone deliberately lowered their voices when talking about business. So when these two people started arguing, they immediately attracted the attention of hundreds of people within a few hundred meters.
However, there were not many people gathered around to watch the fun.
Because the people who visit the ghost market are all veterans of the antique business in Sijiu City. They have seen this kind of joke about newcomers entering the industry and then coming back to find a way out after suffering a loss countless times, and there is nothing new about it anymore!
Only those who are new to the industry should come and take a look occasionally!
For old people, they are more willing to spend their little time at the dazzling array of antique stalls in destinations. If they can find good treasures, it will be worthwhile to get up and go shopping at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night.
It’s a ghost market!
Looking at the two people who were already arguing, Liu Dong shook his head and walked up immediately!
It is the rule in the antique industry to make a move without regrets. It doesn't matter that Chen Bao just entered the industry and didn't know it, but as a friend and cousin, he can't turn a blind eye.
"I'm sorry, this brother of mine has just joined the industry and doesn't know the rules! He suffered a loss during the day and was inevitably a little aggressive in his words. I apologize to you on his behalf!"
"Brother Dong, he obviously lied to us, why should we apologize...!" Chen Bao said angrily.
"do not talk!"
After hearing Liu Dong's somewhat harsh words, Chen Bao pursed his lips, snorted coldly, and said nothing more with a stinky face.
"I didn't expect that you look young, but you are still sensible...!" As he spoke, the middle-aged man paused for a moment, then quickly looked Liu Dong up and down, and then said with surprise, "I have the liberty to ask.
Wait, are you Mr. Liu Dongliu?"
"Do you know me?" Liu Dong said after being stunned for a moment.
"Hey, Mr. Liu's name is not recognized by all the antique shop owners in the entire Forty-Nine City. You are a master in the industry!"
Looking at the middle-aged man's thumbs up, Liu Dong smiled calmly and said, "You've thanked me!"
"No, no, it's not an award at all. Now when people in the industry mention that you were in Hong Kong last year and earned face for our mainland association, everyone gives a thumbs up! And in your hand, Zhang Sengyao's "Five Elements and Twenty-Eight Constellations", Zigang Yu
…!”
"Wait a minute, sir! Thank you for your compliment. The achievements I have achieved are nothing compared to those of my seniors in the industry. I really do not deserve your praise. Liu Dong is not worthy of it! In addition, now is the time
Ghost market, it's not easy for us brothers to come here at night. If you have nothing to do here, we will continue shopping!" Liu Dong said quickly after interrupting the other party's rather eloquent words.
Liu Dong is a person who doesn't like to be watched unless necessary. He is quiet by nature. After seeing more and more people surrounding him, he already had the idea of leaving.
The middle-aged man was not annoyed when Liu Dong interrupted him. After thinking for a while, he quickly said to Liu Dong: "I know that Mr. Liu likes antiques. I happen to have a few good things there. I don't know what Mr. Liu would like."
Don’t you want to go and have a look?”
"Good stuff?" Liu Dong, who had turned around and left after being polite, immediately suppressed his desire to leave.
"Yes, Qiu Ying's authentic work, I guess Mr. Liu won't like it, right?" the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Liu Dong certainly liked the authentic calligraphy and painting of Qiu Ying, one of the four Wu clans in the Ming Dynasty, who was as famous as Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Tang Yin.
"I think as long as it is for fun, no one can refuse Qiu Ying's authentic calligraphy and painting, and I am no exception. If Mr. intends to sell this painting to me, I am willing to see it!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
"Haha, of course I am willing to sell this painting to Mr. Liu!"
"Then please!" Liu Dong was not polite.
"please!"
Seeing that the two were about to turn around and walk away together, Chen Bao quickly took Liu Dong's arm and whispered: "Brother Dong, this guy is a liar. Let's go and don't be fooled by him again!"
"Don't worry! I know it well!" After patting Chen Bao's arm, Liu Dong smiled.
In this world, Liu Dong has never seen anything that can hide his relic Yuanguang! (To be continued.)
