Chapter 582: Immortal Ape Listens to Zen
"Forget it. I'll spin around again. Yu Yao turned around and left, and at the same time said in his heart, this thing is almost impulsive! Even if you want to receive "Yun Qinghua", you should also receive high-quality products.
This piece is just an early year, from the Yuan Dynasty, but from the glaze to the color to the painting, it is not enough to be worthy of his collection. It's just that he hadn't seen Yun Qinghua before, so he couldn't hold it back for a while. Moreover, the main price of the stall is quite high, and it is estimated that it will not drop much, and the profit market is not large.
Yu Yao walked resolutely, and the old man didn't call him again, but instead smiled at the two of them, "Only laymen think that Yuan Qinghua is only a few." ”
The two of them were embarrassed, and they didn't reply, and the woman held the man and walked away quickly.
This small antique market is very messy, and even if it is old, most of the craftsmanship is not good. Antiques, ancient is one thing, beauty is another, only ancient is not beautiful, there will be a feeling of "dirty".
Yu Yao walked around halfway, and then he was not interested, so he was ready to leave directly.
Just as he was turning around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stall owner holding a big lacquer plate to introduce it to two people.
This lacquer plate is blackened. Tick is the process, black is the color, is the carved black lacquer plate. There are black, and there are red, and red is relatively more famous.
This plate is more than a foot in diameter, and the surrounding of the plate is carved with auspicious patterns, and the center of the plate seems to be a landscape.
Yu Yao looked at it from a distance, and it seemed to be a bit old, so he stepped forward.
I just paid attention to the plate before, and when I stepped forward, it turned out that these two people were the two people who watched "Yun Qinghua" before.
The stall owner is a middle-aged man, with a dark complexion and a strong body, and it is really not easy to judge the specific age.
Yu Yao stepped forward, the two of them saw it, the man couldn't help but smile at him a little embarrassed, Yu Yao responded with a smile and continued to look at the plate.
"You really can't take the price you said, you look at this lacquer, look at this process, even if you do it now, the cost is not more than what you said!" the stall owner continued to say to the two of them.
This kind of remark is often heard by stall owners in the antique market, and it seems to make a lot of sense; for example, if there is not enough money for materials, wouldn't it be a loss to sell them? But antiques are not modern handicrafts, and the cost cannot be calculated in this way. Something worth a million may be collected from the countryside for a hundred!
It is even possible that the stall owner collects 100 and sells 90, losing money to sell. Because he may have collected several pieces in a pile, the previous one made a lot of money, and the remaining one was not easy to come out, so he could exchange a little money.
As soon as the two of them heard what the stall owner said, they simply left. Xu is also embarrassed to see Yu Yao.
The stall owner shouted twice, but when he saw that Yu Yao was still looking at the plate, he put the plate in front of Yu Yao and grinned, "Little brother, they don't know the goods, you can take a look!"
"The vintage seems to be relatively light. "Yu Yao has already understood this plate, a bit of a year is not fake, but at most until the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the lacquer craft and carving are okay, not ugly.
However, the pattern of this heart is not simply a landscape, it is a platform on the cliff, on the edge of the platform, there are several monks, are holding things to feed a few apes, at the same time, there are also a few apes climbing up the cliff, some holding branches, some holding something like herbs.
At the same time, there was an old monk on the platform, who seemed to be about to sit down, as if he was about to open the altar to preach Zen.
The stall owner listened to what Yu Yao said, "As long as it's not new, the price of goods from the Republic of China is also rising." ”
"Hmm. Yu Yao replied vaguely, "This picture of the heart is a bit interesting." ”
"It's a theme that's circulating on our side, it's very good. The stall owner said, "The fairy ape listens to Zen." ”
Yu Yao really hadn't heard of this, "Oh? ”
"Yes!"
Yu Yao took out a cigarette at this time and handed it to the stall owner, but the stall owner was not polite, "Good smoke, good smoke." ”
After lighting a cigarette, the stall owner continued, "This is not only a monk, he was originally the emperor of Dali! Before becoming a monk, his name was Duan Silian, and the fourth emperor after him was Duan Zhengchun, and he also passed through the dead country in the middle, and Duan Zhengchun established the Houli ······."
When he talked about the official history, Yu Yao remembered it a little.
It was roughly the time of the Dali State when Gao Zhisheng deposed the emperor Duan Suxing and supported Duan Silian as the emperor.
Obviously, this is a puppet emperor, and the power is in the hands of the powerful minister Gao Zhisheng. Gao Zhisheng held the military power and was named the Marquis of Shan, and he didn't take Duan Silian in his eyes at all.
Later, Duan Silian took the position of his son Duan Lianyi and became a monk. After that, Yu Yao was not so clear, he only knew that Duan Silian finally died of a long life of more than eighty years without illness, and on a certain famous mountain, it seems that a relics pagoda was built.
Unexpectedly, he also had a story of "fairy apes listening to Zen", "This is when I talk about Zen, even apes are inspired?"
"Well, in his later years, the people of Dali called him the old living Buddha!" The stall owner seemed to be a little interested when he saw Yu Yao, and he was also interested:
"He, at the beginning, he became a monk in Wuwei Temple. There is a high monk in the Central Plains, the Buddha name Puming, traveled to Dali, Duan Silian was able to worship Master Puming as a teacher, and thus got the Buddha name Guangde······"
"What?Puming Guangde?" Yu Yao suddenly remembered the contents on the stone tablet! It turned out that in addition to the literal meaning, this was still one teacher and one apprentice with two Buddha names!
"That's right!" the stall owner paused, "Guangde followed Puming Yunyou, traveled all over the world's famous mountains and treasure temples, returned to Dali in his sixties, built a temple to teach Zen, and also received a lot of disciples. ”
"Hmm. Yu Yao retracted his thoughts and responded.
"The cliff on this pattern is called Gongluo Cliff, and Master Guangde established a Zen platform on Gongluo Cliff, and often preached Zen to his disciples on it. The apes on the cliff were also attracted to listen to the meditation, and even learned to sit in meditation, and often brought branches to the nearby temples as firewood and herbs, and the monks often fed the apes. ”
"I see. Yu Yaoxin said, it seems that the cave in the valley of Wuliang Mountain is likely to have something to do with this Zen monk!
"How's it going?" asked the stall owner.
"What's the price?"
"It's not expensive, two thousand dollars. Those two just now have to ask for a thousand, how can I sell them?"
"Discount, huh?"
"I'll give you a thousand eight, okay?"
"One thousand two!"
"No, no, no, one thousand six, the lowest!"
Yu Yao didn't continue to grind with him, and finally won the thousand six.
This plate, the market is almost about 2,000, and the loss is not a loss, but it is not very meaningful. If it weren't for the involvement of "Puming Guangde", Yu Yao would not have bought it.
After taking the plate, Yu Yao went out of the antique market, and saw that the time was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Ying said that he would breathe at noon, and this time had passed, so he went back to the hotel directly.
