Chapter 233: Vajrapani Bodhisattva
This temple looks only about seventeen or eighteen square meters, but I didn't expect it to be enshrined in such a god.
It's a fantasy.
Zheng Shaoqiu took a deep breath, his eyes fell on the side source, his body stiffened suddenly, and even his breathing was faintly heavy.
On both sides of the temple, there is a large pillar, the material is actually a rare golden silk nanmu, just these two, the value is no longer cool.
He looked up and suddenly noticed more cats.
Although the beams and keels look dilapidated and mottled all around, the materials are the best nanmu and fir wood.
Now, these two types of wood are extinct in the world, and even money cannot buy them.
In addition to these, even the doors and windows are made of the finest wood, painted with a layer of red paint, which has become dilapidated over time, revealing its original wood color.
Zheng Shaoqiu kept speculating about the origin of this temple in his heart, but found nothing.
In his opinion, this is simply an unacceptable thing.
The only possibility, that is, the temple, has not been listed in the prefectural records since it was first built.
While he was secretly thinking about it, Old Man Wu directly interrupted Zheng Shaoqiu's thoughts with a word.
"Old Fangtou, this is the Buddha statue you have in mind. ”
Zheng Shaoqiu followed the prestige and was slightly stunned.
In the hand of the old square head, there is a bronze Bodhisattva statue of about 16 centimeters, and the style is Tibetan.
The face of the Buddha statue tends to be peaceful, the facial features are lifelike, the details are vivid, and the overall proportions are very symmetrical, giving people a pleasing feeling.
At a glance, from the point of view of the carving style, it is an obvious snowy pearl style.
However, the clothes depicted on it have a Central Plains style, with fluttering clothes and vivid folds, giving people a feeling of floating out of the dust, handsome and elegant.
At the bottom, there is a lotus throne, about three centimeters high, the shape is simple, and the depiction is also very fine, lifelike.
Just seeing this base, Zheng Shaoqiu knew it in his heart.
He didn't expect that he would encounter such a Buddha statue in this courtyard that was about to be demolished.
Vajrapani.
The name is very loud.
Zheng Shaoqiu took a look, and suddenly at the right end of the lotus throne, he saw a line of small characters.
"The Ming Xuande year. ”
The font is Lishu, and the overall look is strong and powerful.
Curiosa.
An absolute rarity.
Zheng Shaoqiu carefully took the statue of Fu, flipped his wrist, and suddenly found the mystery at the bottom of the throne.
There is actually a cover, and in the center is engraved the symbol of a vajra.
He pricked up his ears and shook them slightly, and a dull sound came from inside the bronze statue.
Needless to say, there must be a hole in it.
Speaking of which, this is not surprising, in the Ming Dynasty Xuande, this kind of Buddha will be sealed in a treasure, this is an unwritten convergence.
Buddha statues of this texture and age are no more than 500 in the world, and no more than 300 in China.
In other words, this statue in Zheng Shaoqiu's hand is a rare treasure in the world.
It's too rare.
In addition to this, there is one most important point.
In this Buddha statue, there is a cave, although it is not opened, Zheng Shaoqiu can also guess what is inside.
The style is on the snowy plateau, so under normal circumstances, the seven treasures of Buddhism are sealed inside.
The possibility of gold and silver is not very likely, like those corals, agate, but there is a lot of certainty, from the Ming Dynasty, has been handed down to today, after the change of years, the value is incalculable.
You must know that the Buddha statue of the Yongxuan period of the Ming Dynasty, in the antique world, is a treasure among the treasures, and if you take out any one, you can take out an amazing sky-high price.
The reason is very simple, this kind of object, the inventory is scarce, and most of them are enshrined in temples, and a small amount is in museums.
In the hands of Tibetan friends, there are even fewer of them.
In addition to the heavy historical value, the Buddha statue is also a ritual vessel, after the change of the times, for hundreds of years, has been enshrined in the temple, by thousands of monks, day after day chanting blessings, over the years, what a merit accumulation, just like the sea.
This kind of thing, if it is known by those rich people, it will definitely be snatched and broken.
Resolve misfortune and bless the path of fortune.
Basically, as long as the world has appeared, the top rich people will spend a lot of money, and they will not even have the opportunity to go to auction.
In the Yongle period, at least five million Buddha statues like this one started, and of course, those who dared to pick this Buddha statue were also the top richest people, and this money was a drizzle for them.
If it is related to the snowy plateau, and the condition is well preserved, it will not be five million, but doubled, with a minimum of ten million.
And the Buddha statue that Zheng Shaoqiu held in his hand looked without the slightest flaw as a whole, and the quality was perfect, even after hundreds of years, not only did it have no defects, but it had a little more history.
Of course, those natural weathering causes color darkening, which is basically negligible.
The old man looked at it twice, happily took out six thousand yuan from his arms and handed it to Old Man Wu.
This money was handed over to Lao Fangtou by Zheng Shaoqiu in advance.
"It's six thousand dollars, you order, if it's okay, I'll take it. ”
Old Man Wu laughed twice when he heard this, and then motioned to his grandson next to him to take the money.
"Old man Fang, for two days in a row, you have made a lot of good things. ”
"Yesterday's big Buddha statue, today's small ......"
"Hehe, your old face is indeed quite thick. ”
Hearing this, the old man did not have the slightest gloom on his face, and said with a smile: "Haha, the old man said this, but it's not right, in the end, it's still your benevolence and righteousness, otherwise I wouldn't have this fate." ”
After a pause, he arched his hand again: "I'm really sorry for the disturbance in the past two days." ”
Old Man Wu waved his hand indifferently when he heard this, and his tone was calm: "It's important to say this, but it's just to take what you want." ”
"If it weren't for your 16,000, my grandson and I would probably have to beg on the streets tonight. ”
"One cause and one effect, all have a fixed number, this is the so-called fate. ”
Zheng Shaoqiu nodded slightly, then thought of something, and said with a smile: "Old man Wu, your courtyard must be at least three hundred and fifty square meters, if it is demolished, I estimate that it will cost 10 million." ”
Old Man Wu glanced at him and chuckled twice.
With his hands on crutches, he staggered to the black-lacquered chair in the middle of the main hall, like a statue.
"This is where I lived when I was a child......
"What a prominent scenery back then, but now it ends up like this......"
