"This character stone is good, if you like it, I will talk to Mr. Huang and ask him to sell you cheaply." "Calm and calm, not sad or happy.

Look, the fox's tail is exposed, he spoke so tall just now, and now he wants to fool me into buying stones, no way: "I don't know whether this character stone is true or not, forget it." ”

Kowloon replied angrily.

"Do you suspect that Mr. Huang's stone is fake? Do you know that Mr. Huang is in Zhangzhou, and he is also the No. 1 person, he is the president of the Zhangzhou Strange Stone Association, and his character stones are all original and have never been faked. ”

Calm and rare angry, raised the tone.

"I've seen a lot of fake ones before, so naturally I have to be careful. ”

Kowloon is not a fuel-efficient lamp either, replied.

"I don't deny that there are fakes, but people who really play with stones can recognize them at a glance, and you can't overturn a boatload of people with one shot. ”

Calm returns to calm, and there are no waves in the ancient well.

"I love to hear this teacher, but I was offended just now. Jiulong also felt that he had gone too far just now, and softened his tone.

"I don't know what to say, it's nothing, look at the way you look, and I like the character stone?"

Calm is curious.

"Yes, I like it, especially the Zen stones. Kowloon replied truthfully.

"Great, you might as well come and check it out at my house, I promise you won't be disappointed. ”

Calm often see a lot of young people playful discouraged, really unaccustomed to seeing, since this young man likes Zen stone, should also understand the true meaning of Zen.

Thinking about making me bleed again?Why is this person like this, Jiulong replied to him angrily: "I really don't have time, I'm going to leave now." ”

Kowloon didn't want to be entangled, so he raised his legs and left.

"Haha, young man, I have a collection of things, not for sale, you don't have to worry, you have seen it, it is guaranteed to open your eyes. ”

Looking at Jiulong's appearance calmly, he finally understood, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

I don't know if it's a sense of responsibility to compete with Kowloon, and he feels that if Kowloon plays like this, he will definitely go astray, and he must reach out and pull a hand.

Then go and see where his stone is special, ask me to buy his stone, there is no door, Jiulong thinks of this, both come and be safe, go to Mr. Wang's house is not in a hurry, it doesn't hurt to see the world more, besides, the other party has repeatedly sent invitations, there should be some treasures.

So, after waiting for Lashi to pick up the goods, he said goodbye to each other, and together with Calm, got into Lashi's car and ran west.

Walking into the Tranquility House, dressed in a typical Chinese style, what attracted Kowloon's attention the most was that the walls on three sides of the living room were all stone display shelves, which were densely packed with stones.

What does it mean that so many stones are placed together? Could it be that the house is used as a shop? Jiulong was shocked, and it seemed that he had entered the wolf's den.

Calm didn't pay attention to it, pointed to the top of the wall, and told Kowloon to take a closer look.

Above the middle wall, hang an eye-catching plaque, on which are written "Five Hundred Arhats" in four traditional characters.

How is it possible that the "Five Hundred Arhats" are made of stones? How many stone stones do you need?

Jiulong rubbed his eyes, looked carefully, only to see a statue of Arhat strange stones gathered together, they walked or stood or sat or lying, different shapes, approached to look carefully, some of these "Arhats" take their looks, have eyes, noses, mouths, beards, mood, madness, full of innocence;

Some take their textures and contours, move and speak silently, and have both expressions, which leads people to reverie.

It's really an eye-opener, my God! How much energy does it take to make up so much, I thought that Ping Ping was also the one who opened the Stone Pavilion, but it seems that he is to blame.

"Wow, it's amazing, why are there so many Zen stones, I've been picking up almost every day in the past few years, and I can't pick up ten, Teacher Ping, you're so good, you picked up so many at once, cow! Lashi also exclaimed while watching, look at this, touch that, like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

"Let's see if it's fake, and then comment!" said calmly, and it seemed that he was still haunted by what Kowloon had said.

"Who said it was fake, I don't even have this bit of eyesight, what kind of stone are you playing!"

When Lashi heard this, he was angry, and he couldn't wait to make a meal with this kind of person.

"Teacher Ping, did you pick up these stones yourself?"

Jiulong's face was red and white, and he hurriedly changed the topic.

"There are a few people who pick up, and most of them are bought, how can you pick up so many by picking them up alone. ”

Calmly and indifferently responded, his heart was full of pride.

"I really didn't expect that the Nine Dragons Bishi could form so many character stones, and all of them were different. ”

Jiulong paid attention to the facial features of each stone, from the facial features to the neck, and did not let go, this time he was sincerely admired.

"You look fresh, in fact, each character stone is very difficult to find, and it takes too much of my energy to be in it. ”

Calmly sighed, he involuntarily picked up a figure stone from the shelf and stroked it.

Of course, Jiulong understands that being able to find so many treasures from a single stone species is not just playing with stones, but also cultivating.

Jiulong's mind suddenly flashed the figure of the Yunguang mage in front of the Yuhua Stone Museum, and he thought, if the Yunguang mage could not be found in the Yuhua Stone, would it appear here?

He searched carefully on the three-sided display cabinet, did not let go of an Arhat stone, looked at it for a long time, and there was not even a similar one, so he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

"Nature has created this miracle, and I have combined it with Buddhist culture to give them a lively life. ”

Calm had already sat down at the tea-table, and when they had seen enough, he beckoned them over for tea.

This teatable is a little special, it is polished by Jiulongbi, and the teapot and teacup are also Jiulongbi handicrafts, all of which are emerald green and exquisite, and Jiulong is also the first time to see, and the owner's taste is different.

"This Nine Dragons looks like it's full of treasures, this tea table kit is really chic, Mr. Ping, where can I buy it?"

Kowloon was very interested, how good it would be to buy a set of tea for his father.

"This thing is only available in Hua'an, they mined the Jiulongbi mine on the mountain and developed it into a series of handicrafts, named Hua'an jade handicrafts, which have long been famous?

Jiulong is embarrassed, I really don't know, it seems that it is not so easy to understand Jiulongbi.

Calm picked up a 10CM length Arhat stone from the side of the coffee table with his right hand to play, kept rubbing, and poured a cup of Hua'an Tieguanyin tea for Jiulong.

This glowing Arhat stabbed straight into the heart of Jiulong, and he could vaguely see a mustache, a lock of goatee, and big ears hanging down his shoulders.

Calmly thought that Jiulong had taken a fancy to this stone, and smiled slightly: "This Arhat stone, I will play with it in my hand if I have nothing to do, and it will be pulped, if you like it, I will give it to you." ”

"That's not what I mean, Teacher Ping, I saw that this Arhat and Master Yunguang are too similar, it's really providential. ”

Then Mr. Heping recounted the dream he had.

"Amitabha!" Teacher Ping clasped his hands together, happy for Jiulong, "It seems that you have a fate with this Zen stone, give it to you, and make a friend." ”

"It's so embarrassing, I have it when I see it, and it's my blessing to be able to see it. ”

Jiulong hurriedly put the Zen stone on the coffee table and returned the salute with his palms.

"My Zen stone at least a few thousand, you don't have to be polite, sometimes playing with the stone is so wonderful, what do you think, it really came, in the process of my collection of "five hundred Arhats", I want to get together a certain Arhat, as soon as I get to someone else's store, it is lying quietly waiting for me, you say strange. "There is nothing wrong with what Mr. Ping said.

Jiulong saw that Mr. Ping was so sincere, so he was no longer polite, he kept rubbing it in his hand, drinking tea and playing, and couldn't put it down.

"Teacher Ping, it must not be easy to get together the 'Five Hundred Arhats', can you tell me how you came up with the idea of playing this combination in the first place?"

Kowloon was curious.

"Yes, I also want to know, Mr. Ping will teach us a few tricks. ”

Wax also came to add oil and vinegar.

"This, but also thanks to Mr. Wang Tianran, when he saw that I had more than 20 character stones in my home, the size was between more than ten or twenty centimeters, he said why not make a 'Eighteen Arhats' combination, so it is more meaningful, I think about it, I combined the 'Eighteen Arhats', I didn't expect it to be an instant hit, and it was recognized by the domestic strange stone community, and since then I have embarked on the road of Jiulongbi combination creation. ”

Calm poured them another cup of tea, and his thoughts flew back to the past.

In this way, Mr. Ping has also come to this day step by step. ”

Kowloon took a sip and continued to ask.

"Yes, in the summer of 2004, I traveled to Jiuhua Mountain, and after seeing the Arhats in the Five Hundred Arhats Hall next to the Hundred Years Old Palace, I came up with the idea of combining the 'Five Hundred Arhats' of Jiulongbi. ”

Jiulong only knew that the Arhats were all students of the Buddha, and the monks who had heard about the Buddha's teachings, practiced diligently, and liberated themselves from their troubles and sufferings, but the others did not know.

"Do you want to know the legend of the Five Hundred Arhats?" asked calmly.

"I want to hear about it. ”

Kowloon said sincerely.

calmly took a sip of tea and spoke eloquently.

These 500 arhats came from India.

In ancient India, it was customary to use "five hundred" and "eighty-four thousand" to describe many meanings, which is very similar to the ancient Chinese use of "three" or "nine" to represent most of them.

The statue of the 500 Arhats was seen in paintings and sculptures during the Five Dynasties period, and soon many temples established the 500 Arhat Hall.

People's respect for the five hundred Arhats, in the five dynasties has been quite prosperous, such as the first year of Xiande Dao Qian Zen Master, with the permission of Wu Yue Qian Zhongyi King, the Xuefeng Pagoda under the sixteen statues moved to the Jingci Temple, created the five hundred Arhat Hall, and the famous mountains around the country also have Arhat Caves, such as the Five Hundred Arhat Caves of Hn Song Mountain.

The existing 500 Arhat Halls include BJ Biyun Temple, CD Baoguang Temple, GS Lianhua Temple Grottoes, Suzhou Xiyuan Temple, Kunming Xiaozhu Temple, Xishan Huating Temple, Wuhan Guiyuan Temple and so on.

"There are so many Arhats, not to mention that it is not easy to collect, it is also difficult to distinguish the appearance of Arhats. ”

Kowloon was curious about how Mr. Ping did it.
