At this moment, it was as if time had stood still. Seeing the pagoda split into two, hundreds of pairs of eyes almost flew out of their eye sockets as they stared at it. Many people couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise.
After several breaths passed, someone screamed with a trembling voice: "The pagoda was... opened?!"
Many people's scalps were numb. They couldn't believe the fact in front of them. Everyone thought that the mysterious Buddhist utensils that could only be opened by forcible destruction by external force were actually opened by normal means. Everyone was shocked.
Can't believe this is true.
Yu Deshui, the vice president of the Antiques Association, stood up in a hurry, his eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, his hands clenched the armrests of the wooden chair, and he said absentmindedly: "It actually opened it, how did he... do it?
?”
Zhuge Yi and two other seniors in the antiques questioning circle in the capital couldn't help but exchange shocked looks, and they all had incredible expressions on their faces.
Gu Dezhou's complexion suddenly changed, and he quickly began to turn red due to excitement.
More guests went crazy, and there was a loud uproar, as if they were trying to lift the roof of Gudezhai.
"Have you seen it, it's really opened, it's really opened!"
"How is it possible? Could it be that he has seen this thing before? It's incredible."
"Damn, that's okay, this little brother is so awesome, how did he know the password!"
Amid the uproar, Hong Qing, who was holding the two-part pagoda in his hands, froze completely, motionless, as if he had turned into a sculpture. His eyes were slightly bulging, and he looked down at the opened pagoda in his arms.
At this time, Xue Chen was doing one thing, which was to crazily absorb the rich spiritual energy contained in the relics hidden in the pagoda!
The spiritual energy that Xue Chen came into contact with was basically the same, but there were subtle differences, just like the same porcelain, both made of clay, but Song porcelain and Qing porcelain are definitely different.
The same is true for aura and spiritual energy. The aura absorbed in antiques is slightly different from the aura he absorbs from nature when the sun rises in the morning.
The spiritual energy in this relic was also different. When he absorbed it, he felt as if there was a bell in his ear and the sound of wooden fish chanting sutras was ringing continuously. However, he didn't care about these and just absorbed the spiritual energy wholeheartedly.
!
"A lot of spiritual energy, breathe in!"
Under the terrifying suction of the jade eyes under the skin and bones between the brows, the aura within the relic was like a flood pouring from a burst dam, rolling and roaring continuously.
Cool! Cool! Cool!
Xue Chen felt that the aura content in his jade pupil was increasing rapidly, from 40% to 50%, and then to 60%. He was so excited that he couldn't express it in words. If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would have wanted to yell twice to express his feelings.
Excited and excited.
A full twenty seconds! Twenty seconds after the relic was acquired, under the crazy absorption of the jade pupil, the last drop of spiritual energy in the relic was finally absorbed, and the spiritual energy content in the jade pupil reached 80% as he wished!
Xue Chen opened his palm and took a look, and saw that the appearance of the relic did not change much, but it seemed to have lost some invisible luster and became darker.
At this moment, Gu Dezhou had already strode over.
"Mr. Xue, you...are really a talented person!"
Gu Dezhou took the Buddhist pagoda divided into two parts from Hong Qing's hand who had just recovered his senses. He looked at Xue Chen with an extremely excited expression and praised loudly.
Xue Chen also raised his hand and pointed the relic in his palm to Gu Dezhou: "Shopkeeper Gu, this fell from the pagoda. Please take it."
"Okay, okay, okay." Gu Dezhou carefully picked up the relic from Xue Chen's palm. After hesitating for a moment, he immediately turned around and sent it to Zhuge Yi and the others.
The four of them all lowered their heads to assess and began to communicate in low voices.
"There is something really inside the pagoda."
"What is that, I didn't see clearly."
"It looks like a piece of jade?"
Since Xue Chen could realize that this object was a relic, the four well-informed Zhuge Yi could also guess it.
Zhuge Yi stood up, held the relic in his palm, took a look at all the guests, and said, "This should be a relic left behind by a Buddhist monk after his death and cremation."
Upon hearing that it turned out to be the legendary relic, the guests started talking excitedly. They were all amazed and agreed with the answer. Only such an extraordinary thing as the relic can be worthy of the use of such an exquisite thing.
A piece of utensil to decorate!
Yu Deshui stood up and looked at Xue Chen, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Mr. Xue is so talented! I admire you so much!"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and more guests stood up and clasped their fists at Xue Chen, with mixed emotions in their eyes.
"Mr. Xue really makes us admire him."
"Mr. Xue's good tricks have made us more knowledgeable."
"Yunzhou has outstanding people, and Mr. Xue is truly a leader."
…
The praises came one after another, and they were all shocked by Xue Chenlu's hand just now. It was not that these people had little knowledge, but that Xue Chen's method was too weird and unpredictable. He was able to say this thing without even touching it.
Password is really a magic trick!
Hearing all the guests present praising Xue Chen, Hong Qing blushed and looked at Xue Chen with admiration.
At this moment, Gu Dezhou had carefully put the relics back into the pagoda, closed the pagoda, and firmly memorized the Sanskrit passwords on the three copper rings. In order to prevent mistakes, he also took photos.
I left it at the bottom and tried the switch again, and breathed a sigh of relief when there was no problem.
After Zhuge Yi nodded, Gu Dezhou walked back to Xue Chen, bowed slightly, and said very politely: "Mr. Xue, according to the agreement, you can choose a million-dollar item from our Gudezhai.
Taking away the antiques is also our gratitude to you from Gudezhai."
Seeing Gu Dezhou really fulfill his promise, everyone felt envious. Who wouldn't want to get an antique worth millions, but everyone was convinced in their hearts that Xue Chen deserved it. This was all based on his ability, and there was nothing wrong with it.
of moisture!
Xue Chen took a sip of the already a little cold tea, put down the cup, looked at Gu Dezhou and said, "Shopkeeper Gu, you're welcome."
Gu Dezhou waved to the waiters in the store. After a moment, each of the three waiters presented something to Xue Chen, a landscape painting, a piece of pottery, and an inkstone.
"I think with Mr. Xue's eyesight, he can easily see the origin and value of these three antiques without me having to introduce them too much."
Xue Chen glanced at it casually. He saw a tour of Mount Tai by Zhao Zhizhou, a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Qianlong's reign, a Longshan black pottery round-belly jar, and a Duan inkstone from the late Qing Dynasty. They were all very good items, and their value was around one million, not high.
It's not low, so it can be seen that it has been prepared for a long time.
Before Xue Chen could speak, Hong Qing actively selected it for him: "Xue Chen, that black clay pot seems to be from the Longshan period. Look at how beautiful it is. I think this is the most suitable choice."
"Okay then, just take this Longshan black clay pot. It's a gift for you. You can take it back." Xue Chen said casually.
Hong Qing sneered and said, "Xue Chen, don't be joking. I'll just tell you what you want. Which one you choose depends on your preferences."
"Haha, I'm not joking. When I said I gave it to you, I gave it to you. If you like it, just take it." Xue Chen said with a chuckle.
Hong Qing looked at Xue Chen blankly: "Are you...really not joking?"
"Do you think it's a joke? And it's not funny at all, is it?" Xue Chen shrugged his shoulders and did not take another look at these three antiques worth millions.
Now with his eyesight, he really can no longer appreciate these antiques worth millions. There are one or two objects worth millions in the safe, such as the sword given to his men by Qi Jiguang, but it has
Not in an ordinary sense.
And these three antiques are just pure antiques. To him, they are useless for collection and do not arouse much interest in them.
And the idea that he planned to give it to Hong Qing was not a temporary idea, but he had already had a similar idea.
Although Hong Qing had just met him, when he saw Hong Qing, he seemed to see himself more than a year ago, and he felt a bit unspeakable.
Like him, Hong Qing had fantasized about when he would be able to own a valuable collection. Now that he had what he wanted, he naturally didn't mind fulfilling Hong Qing's little dream.
When Hong Qing saw Xue Chen's serious expression, he was not joking, he really wanted to give him the reward from Gude Zhai. He opened his mouth, his face turned red, and for a moment he seemed to be mute and unable to speak.
.
Gu Dezhou glanced at Xue Chen, then took the black clay pot from the Longshan period, stuffed it into Hong Qing's hand, and said "take it."
When the other guests saw Xue Chen casually giving away the million-dollar rewards from Gudezhai to those around him, many of them felt sour in their hearts and secretly regretted why they were not so lucky to sit next to each other.
, antiques worth millions are still extremely rare in the eyes of 99% of the guests present.
But when I think that Xue Chen has a collection of genuine Xuande stoves worth half a million yuan, I feel relieved. It is normal not to take a million-dollar thing in his eyes.
At this time, the third middle-aged man sitting opposite stood up and shouted: "Hong Qing, why don't you thank Mr. Xue."
Hong Qing called out "Master" and then realized what he was doing. He turned around and thanked Xue Chen repeatedly, his lips trembling slightly, and his slightly red eyes filled with countless gratitude.
The Buddhist pagoda was opened, Guduzhai's reward was fulfilled, and peace gradually returned to the square hall.
Gu Dezhou stood in the center of the square hall, clasping his fists: "Dear friends, we have reserved a table in the Zhuangyuan Building. Please move over."
A group of people left Gudezhai in a grand manner and walked to the Zhuangyuanlou Hotel at the end of Liulichang Street. When they were seated, Xue Chen, who had just been sitting next to Hong Qing, was pulled by Yu Deshui to sit down with a smile.
On the main table.
No one felt inappropriate among the guests present. They all felt that Xue Chen should be sitting at the head table! (To be continued)
