Although this thing belongs to Gude Zhai, Xue Chen may be the first person in the world to see the inside of the pagoda. When he saw the things inside, his heart trembled.
Inside is a milky white thing, showing an irregular oval shape. At first glance, it looks like white jade, but if you think about it carefully, it is absolutely impossible. How could a white jade of little value be put into such a precious thing?
It's like building a splendid building but using it as a barn to tie animals. It's absolutely impossible and makes no sense!
In addition, Gu Dezhou stated that this object was a Buddhist item. Almost instantly, Xue Chen guessed what it was. It was... a relic!
Xue Chen likes to read books and even dabbles in encyclopedias. He also has a certain understanding of Buddhism and is naturally very familiar with the famous relics.
In Buddhism, the hair, bones, bones, etc. left behind by a monk after his death are called relics, and the crystals produced after cremation are called relics, or solid seeds.
According to Buddhist scriptures, the relics were naturally felt by monks during their lifetime due to the merits of precepts, concentration and wisdom.
In Buddhism, relics are respected and enshrined.
Xue Chen made some inferences that this relic should have been left behind by a foreign monk after his cremation, and was preserved in such a unique and precious pagoda-like container.
Looking at the relic, countless thoughts flashed through Xue Chen's mind. He was surprised and amazed, but soon, he made a new discovery... aura!
Although they were separated by a pagoda more than three meters away, Xue Chen could still faintly feel the rich spiritual energy on this relic.
"What a thick spiritual energy!"
Xue Chen clenched his fist subconsciously, and his heart was shocked again. He was shocked by the thickness of the spiritual energy on the relic. The relic gave him the feeling that it was made of a group of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy
What an exaggeration!
The Xuande incense burner in his collection is worth half a billion. Needless to say, the content of the spiritual energy was very rich at the beginning. But comparing the Xuande incense burner with this relic, it feels like a firefly is on a par with a bright moon. They are not on the same scale at all!
Even though the ancient jade has now turned into a jade eye, and the demand for spiritual energy has reached an alarming level, at this moment, the feeling of this relic is still very shocking to him.
At this time, the spiritual energy content in the jade pupil is about 40%, and how much spiritual energy content is in this relic? He feels that it is at least this number! In other words, if he can absorb the spiritual energy in the relic,
Then the spiritual energy content in the jade pupil can directly increase to 80%...
Gu Dezhou held the pagoda in his hand, looked around, and asked loudly: "Which friend has an idea and wants to try it?"
Although they know they are not good at it, some people are inspired by antiques worth millions, so some people still decide to give it a try, just in case they are really lucky and get the password correctly.
"Let me give it a try." Sitting in the second row, a middle-aged man who looked like Maitreya Buddha said.
Hong Qing once introduced this person as a great collector.
Gu Dezhou nodded, walked over and said, "Mr. Dou, please take it."
Others also turned their attention to this person and started discussing at the same time.
"Mr. Dou's face is like Maitreya, and this object is a Buddhist utensil. This is fate. Maybe it can really be opened."
"Well, I hope so. We can also take a look at what is inside this pagoda."
"I'm very curious too."
Mr. Dou, who was like Maitreya Buddha, took this pagoda object with cloisonné enamel in his hand. He first observed it carefully, and then carefully twisted the three copper rings in the middle.
Hua La La~ Hua La La~
The crisp sliding sounds kept coming from time to time, and everyone was watching and watching.
Mr. Dou tried more than a dozen times in a row, becoming more and more anxious, and he was so anxious that he was sweating on his forehead. But after ten minutes, he still let out a long sigh of disappointment and said to Gu Dezhou: "I can't do it, Boss Gu, take it back." Give it to someone else to try.”
Seeing that Mr. Dou failed, no one was surprised. If it was so easy to be fooled and solved, then how could Gudezhai give out an antique worth millions as a reward?
Gu Dezhou took the pagoda back and asked, "Which of my friends is willing to give it a try?"
"I come."
"I'll give it a try too."
"Then I'll try my luck."
The pagoda changed hands back and forth between people, and everyone tried for a few minutes. However, nearly an hour passed, and more than a dozen people tried, but the pagoda remained the same and still had not been opened.
As the vice president of the Beijing Antiques Association, Yu Deshui also tried it himself, but failed.
"I'm afraid this thing can only be unlocked by forcibly destroying it with external force." Yu Deshui sighed.
Seeing that everyone else had tried it, Hong Qing was eager to try it too. He wanted to try his luck, so he got up and said, "Shopkeeper Gu, I... I also want to give it a try."
"Okay." Gu Dezhou glanced at Hong Qing, then glanced at Xue Chen beside him, walked over and handed the pagoda over.
When Hong Qing took over the pagoda of Buddhist utensils with both hands, his breathing began to become rapid, and his hands began to tremble slightly. He looked very excited and nervous.
Most of the entire tower is made of metal, and it weighs about four to five kilograms. However, in Hong Qing's hands, it felt like it weighed forty or fifty kilograms, and he had to hold it carefully with both hands.
"Xue Chen, why don't you try it first? I'm a little nervous and I won't break it," said Hong Qing.
"It's okay, let's try it." Xue Chen smiled.
Hong Qing, like everyone else, tried to turn the copper ring with the Sanskrit language of foreign Buddhism engraved on it.
After trying dozens of times in a row, Hong Qing's forehead was sweating, but it still had no effect.
Others shook their heads when they saw it.
"This thing is so delicate that it seems it can only be dismantled by external force."
"That's true, but this thing is very rare. I'm afraid it will be damaged after being dismantled. That would be a pity."
"No wonder Gudzhai is willing to give out an antique worth millions as a reward. I'm afraid no one can take it away today."
Hong Qing tried for ten minutes, sweating profusely, but still made no progress at all, and finally sighed in frustration.
During this process, Xue Chen did nothing else. He just stared at the continuously rotating pagoda with his eyes unblinking, and used his perspective ability to observe the changes inside when the three copper rings on the outside rotated. Let’s find out how to solve it.
Although this thing is exquisite, it is from the 19th century after all. Although it looks extremely complicated on the outside, the inside is very crude compared to modern safes.
Gradually, as he observed, his eyes became brighter and brighter, and he discovered the structure and operating principles of some internal structures.
Hong Qing panted heavily and stopped trying. He turned around with a wry smile and said, "Xue Chen, do you want to give it a try?"
Gu Dezhou looked at Xue Chen, smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Xue, don't you give it a try?"
The other guests also cheered up a little and looked at Xue Chen. After all, Xue Chen's appearance was an accident today and left a deep impression on everyone present.
Zhuge Yi also looked over, his eyes fluctuated for a moment, but then he shook his head. Although Xue Chen's impression was refreshed again and again, this object was extraordinary. It was far from being as simple as appraising an antique. Otherwise, it would not be possible.
There has been no progress for more than a year.
"I guess he will also fail." Yu Deshui said with a smile.
Everyone around laughed lightly, thinking that this was a certain thing, why did you need to guess? The same goes for thinking with your toes.
Hong Qing motioned to Xue Chen to take the pagoda over and give it a try, but Xue Chen did not reach out. After a pause, he said: "Hong Qing, turn the top circle to the right by thirteen Sanskrit characters."
"Huh?" Hong Qing glanced at Xue Chen in confusion, paused for a moment and then followed the instructions, turning the first copper ring on top thirteen Sanskrit characters to the right.
"Um?"
Seeing this scene, all the guests present became interested. They didn't know the purpose of Xue Chen doing this, but he actually proposed a specific location, which was a bit interesting.
"Oh, it's so confusing, as if I really know the specific password."
"Maybe he wants to do some stunt to attract everyone's attention."
"Young people like to be in the limelight."
Some guests said casually.
But more people said nothing and just watched closely.
Seeing that Hong Qing had completed the first circle, Xue Chen slowed down for a moment and then said with shrewd eyes: "For the second circle, turn nine Sanskrit characters to the right."
Wow.
The crisp sound like the sliding of a chain clearly reached everyone's ears.
Perhaps it was because it was the first time someone had tried to solve it in such a formal way, so the guests present subconsciously became nervous and couldn't help but wonder, does this guy really know the password?
Hong Qing looked at Xue Chen who was serious. His heart was in his throat. He didn't even dare to take a breath. He mechanically followed Xue Chen's instructions and rotated the second circle in place.
"It's time for the final lap!"
Seeing that the last circle was just around the corner, the hall on the second floor fell silent unconsciously, leaving only the sound of breathing, and pairs of eyes were drawn in uncontrollably.
The four people sitting in the first row of seats couldn't help but lean forward, squinting their heads and looking over without blinking.
"The third circle, twist five positions to the left."
Hong Qing licked his lips and followed Xue Chen's last instructions. He took two deep breaths to stop his hands from shaking. He pressed the pad of his index finger on the copper ring and carefully turned it to the left little by little.
When the third metal ring rotated to the designated position according to Xue Chen's instructions, in an instant, there was no sound of breathing in the entire square hall, and you could hear a pin drop quietly.
Click click.
In this quiet environment, the Buddhist pagoda made several sounds that had never appeared before, as if it was foreshadowing something.
Snap.
Without any warning, the pagoda held in Hong Qing's arms was split into two, and a milky white, bean-like thing fell down. Xue Chen, with quick eyes and quick hands, picked it up and held it in his hand. (To be completed.)
