Chapter 666: Another piece of Buddha relics

……

After glancing at Van Gaal, who was proud, Liu Dong said directly: "I don't know if I'm lucky enough to buy them?"

"Buy?" Van Gaal looked stunned.

"That's right, I want to be able to satisfy Mr. Lord in terms of price!" Liu Dong continued.

It is no wonder that Liu Dong is anxious, because there are tens of thousands of antiques in his hands but belong to China, but there are less than 100 foreign fine antiques, and there is too much imbalance between the two, so when nearly 20 famous paintings are placed in front of him, Liu Dong is not willing to let go!

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu, these oil paintings are the most precious collection of the Van Gaal family, and I have no intention of selling them!" After shaking his head and refusing, seeing the frozen look on Liu Dong's face, Van Gaal hurriedly said, "Of course, Mr. Liu does not have to be disappointed, I believe that you will get a satisfactory harvest here today!"

"That's my honor!" Liu Dong said with a sigh of relief.

Although Liu Dong regrets that he can't get these masterpieces, if there are more antiques waiting for him in the future, it is enough to make people look forward to it!

"Please, two of you!"

Van Gaal can now also see that in addition to the old Ace as a broker, the youngest Chinese in the 8 of the three is the mainstay, so when he spoke, Van Gaal also looked at him unconsciously.

Foreigners didn't have as many greetings in China, and after seeing Liu Dong nodding, he took him to the left side of the living room, where the stairs up the stairs were located. But it's also a gateway to the basement. But this basement doesn't feel like a normal basement at all.

In addition to marble floor tiles. The 30-meter-long corridor is full of solid wood walls on both sides, and the ceiling is also a solid wood ceiling, with bright lights shining on the dark solid wood wall panels, coupled with the oil paintings around, an ancient and elegant atmosphere surrounds several people, and the same kind of heritage left by the passage of time makes a few people who like antiques particularly enjoyable.

Looking at the surprised expressions on the faces of Liu Dong and the others, Van Gaal showed a hint of pride on his face.

Although the aristocracy is no longer respected in the Netherlands, Van Gaal is still proud of his family.

Look at the middle-aged Dutchman who always holds his head high. Liu Dong couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, he had heard of the stereotypes of the old European nobles for a long time, but he was really curious and a little disgusted when he really saw it.

But these are not important, when Liu Dong walked to the end of the corridor, in front of a thick oak door three meters wide and 2.5 meters high, the relics in the mustard seed space actually trembled all of a sudden.

"Huh?"

"What's wrong, Mr. Liu?"

Looking at Van Gaal, as well as the surprised expressions of Old Ace and Fang Zhonghua next to him, Liu Dong hurriedly said, "Oh." I'm just wondering, this seems like a codegate?"

"Yes. This is the place that the Van Gaal family values the most, and in order to guard this collection, the Van Gaal family has installed three code doors here over the generations, and now it is only the outermost one!" Van Gaal explained.

Watching Van Gaal skillfully enter the password, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but then noticed the violently beating relics in the mustard seed space, Liu Dong secretly frowned at the same time, his heart was also curious.

"Could it be that there are still relics of the Buddha in this treasure house?"

With this curiosity and expectation, Liu Dong and the three followed Van Gaal through the first thick oak door and two alloy steel code doors, and finally came to the collection of more than 300 years accumulated by the Van Gaal family.

To be honest, Liu Dong has not seen one or two treasures, including the largest Japanese army treasure and the temperature-resistant treasure obtained in Burma, but the two together do not have so many collections in the Van Gaal family's treasure house.

In the space of 50 meters wide, nearly 120 meters deep, and about 5 meters high, there are dense shelves that feel like a library, but the shelves of the library are filled with books, and here are a variety of antiques. Especially porcelain, there are too many here, Liu Dong estimates that there are at least tens of thousands of pieces!

"Little ...... Xiaodong, this is unbelievable!" Fang Zhonghua said dumbfounded.

And Liu Dong also nodded in surprise, it was the first time he had seen a collection room of this scale, and he was afraid that all his collections together would not be as much as here in terms of tripling the amount.

Seeing this, Liu Dongna couldn't help it, "Mr. Van Gaal, can I take a look?"

"Of course!" Van Gaal nodded.

Soon Fang Zhonghua also asked the same question, seeing a collection of this scale, a person who likes antiques couldn't help it.

Of course, Fang Zhonghua was also allowed, and anyway, with the security conditions here, Van Gaal was not worried about them stealing the collection.

In the entire underground collection library, the display shelves are arranged horizontally, although it is not a solid steel display frame, but the material of teak wood is strong enough, and Liu Dong obviously feels that the temperature and humidity here are maintained at a certain level, and there is no dust on the antiques on the display racks, it is obvious that the Van Gaal family is really very careful about the protection of some antiques.

"This is the blue and white dragon pattern plum vase of the Qianlong official kiln of the Qing Dynasty?" Liu Donggang picked up a plum vase with a height of more than 35 centimeters and admired it with great joy, only to find that the exhibition shelves with a length of 5 meters and a width of 1 meter and a height of 4 meters were all the official kilns of the Qianlong model of the Qing Dynasty, adding up to more than 100 pieces.

"This is the Qianlong official kiln of the third dynasty of the Qing Dynasty!" Liu Dong almost groaned in his heart.

Usually, this kind of rare porcelain of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty is rare in China, but it is usually rare in addition to auctions, but at this moment it has appeared here in batches!

Of course, what surprised Liu Dong was not only these, there were wooden boxes under these porcelain display shelves that were not opened, but they were also porcelain, Liu Dong took a look at them with relics and found that most of them were Daoguang, Xianfeng, Guangxu official kilns, because of too many relationships, and did not put on the display shelf, look at the seal on the wooden box has been complete for a long time, plus the natural aging of the paper Cheng dù, I am afraid that it has been placed here since these porcelain were bought.

Also, if you really take out these porcelain, I'm afraid this collection will really not fit it.

"Qing Dynasty Kangxi Imperial Kiln Carmine Enamel Flower Bowl!"

"Qing Dynasty Kangxi Colorful Twelve Flowers God Cup, it is actually a complete set of vessels!!"

"Ming Dynasty Jiajing colorful fish pattern algae lid jar!"

"Ming Dynasty Xuande snowflake blue glaze engraved dragon pattern plate!"

"Ming Dynasty Chenghua blue and white folded branch flower wine glass!"

"Yuan Dynasty green ground white flower pattern edge plate!"

"Yuan blue and white pine, bamboo and plum pattern cup!"

"This is the Song Dynasty kiln square cup! Song Dynasty kiln white porcelain child pillow...... There is also a Song Dynasty Jun kiln rose purple three-legged daffodil box!!"

The further back you look, the more Liu Dong is not calm, there is no way, when thousands of pieces of Qing Dynasty three official kilns, more than 300 pieces of Ming Dynasty official kilns, more than 50 pieces including Yuan blue and white, egg white glaze, 3 pieces of Song Dynasty five famous kiln treasure porcelain in front of you, anyone who likes porcelain will not be calm.

After a long time, Liu Dong came back to his senses, looked at Fang Zhonghua, who was still stunned not far away, and couldn't help but shake his head with a slight sigh, the porcelain in this collection is too rich!

In addition to what he just focused on, other porcelain of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties such as Guangcai porcelain, Ming Dynasty fine folk kilns, Longquan kilns, Cizhou kilns, Yaozhou kilns, etc., as well as a small number of Tang Dynasty Xing kiln white porcelain, Tang Sancai, etc., there are thousands of pieces.

Seeing them, Liu Dong realized that the collection he had always been proud of was nothing compared to the collection of the Van Gaal family.

"But to be able to put these Chinese treasures here, I'm afraid there were no less clever snatches!" Liu Dong absolutely believes that many of these porcelains are precious cultural relics lost in the Old Summer Palace and even the Forbidden City.

Of course, these have become irrevocable history, Liu Dong just thought about it and gave up, and now he is thinking more about how to buy these porcelain.

It's unrealistic to buy it all back, firstly, he doesn't have enough money, and secondly, Van Gaal won't necessarily sell it!

"It seems that I really have to choose it well this time!" Looking at the calligraphy and paintings rolled together on the exhibition shelves next to him, as well as the ancient books that obviously belonged to China, as well as the jade, bronze, Buddha statues, etc. not far away, Liu Dong regretted for the first time why he didn't leave more euros in the first place!

After shaking his head secretly, Liu Dong followed the beating of the relics and came to a display shelf against the wall, and then found a bronze gilt eleven-sided Guanyin statue with a height of nearly 50 cm from the second floor!

The eleven-faced Guanyin, one of the six Guanyin, is the Lord who relieves the asura path and gives sentient beings the benefits of eradicating diseases, eliminating sins, and increasing blessings. In short, in order to eliminate evil and guide good, the Bodhisattva who leads sentient beings into the Buddha's path.

One of the Buddha statues belonging to Tibetan Buddhism!

Because of the eye-catching lesson in Foguang Dasheng in Myanmar last time, this time Liu Dong suppressed the impulse of the relics out of the body, and used the automatic pickup function of the mustard seed space to receive the triple treasure letter hidden in the eleven-faced Guanyin into the mustard seed space, and before Liu Dong opened the outermost hairpin gold treasure letter, the second layer of the eight Tianlong Yin engraved silver treasure letters, and the innermost ivory treasure letter, a knuckle-sized gray-white jade relic has appeared in the sky above the mustard seed space relic.

Looking at the two Buddha relics that were shining brightly, Liu Dong clearly felt that the mustard seed space that had been immobile before was rapidly expanding towards the surroundings.

At the same time as the expansion of the mustard seed space, Liu Dong almost subconsciously operated his Huanxi Zen Gong, which may also belong to the reason for the Buddhist Taoism, every time Liu Dong's relics Yuanguang's progress will lead to a breakthrough in Huanxi Zen Gong, this time is no exception, but perhaps because Liu Dong's foundation has been laid thick enough, this time he did not like the last time in Myanmar, a set is three days.

After about twenty minutes, the mustard space had stabilized again.
