A trip to the antique market
After Wang Dalu put the things away, he hurriedly walked to the big stone Zhuangzi and picked it up with his hands in the hole under the stone, and this time there was nothing in it.
Wang Dalu said: "I'm so angry, I wasted half a day to dig out such a thing." Wang Dalu was about to dig to the side, when he suddenly heard a nearby dog barking. Wang Dalu hurriedly filled in the stone Zhuangzi, and then hurriedly ran out of the courtyard of Liu Wenqing's house.
Wang Dalu ran home directly, and when he got home, he took out the contents of his backpack, he lay on the bed, looked at the vajra in his hand, and smiled happily. Soon a wave of sleepiness hit, and he fell asleep holding the vajra pestle.
The next day, Liu Wenqing and the others came to the old house and began to work, but they did not find any traces of digging in the yard and began to work.
Wang Dalu slept at home until the afternoon, he was woken up by hunger, he got up, hid the vajra, and then simply washed his face, changed his clothes, and ate a little.
Wang Dalu had eaten, took out the vajra pestle, and rode alone to an antique market in the city. He was wandering around the antique market, he wanted to see if there was anything in the antique market that was the same as the one he was holding, and he also asked about the price by the way.
Wang Dalu walked and looked around, there were a lot of people in the antique market, some set up stalls, and some opened shops, Wang Dalu saw a similar look of the vajra from a stall at this time, Wang Dalu squatted down, looked at the vajra on the ground, and asked: "Boss, what is this?" ”
The stall was set up by an old man in his sixties, who had gray hair, wrinkled face, and dark skin. Wearing a black and somewhat shabby tunic. The old man was sitting on a small pony, with a reading glasses, and was wiping a teapot with a pattern on his face, and when he heard someone talking to him, he raised his head, looked at Wang Dalu and said, "This thing is called the vajra." ”
"Vajra? What is the vajra used for? ”
The old man said patiently: "This vajra is a magic weapon in Buddhism, and you can't understand it if you tell you too much, so I'll tell you so!" It is a Buddhist weapon, which can be used to suppress the house or suppress demons. Do you understand now? Wang Dalu nodded.
Wang Dalu smiled and asked, "Then is this thing worth it?" ”
The old man said, "This thing, like everything else, also depends on the age, the material, and what has been used." There's a lot of knowledge in it, and you don't understand it even if I told you. ”
Wang Dalu picked up the vajra on the old man's stall, he looked at this vajra, the weight of this vajra was far less than his weight, this one was made of iron, and it was covered with rust. Wang Dalu looked at the old man and asked, "Then how much do you sell this vajra for you?" ”
The old man took off his reading glasses and put them in his pocket, he looked at Wang Dalu and said, "Do you want it?" ”
Wang Dalu smiled and said, "If it's cheap, I'll consider it." ”
The old man smiled and said, "This vajra, five thousand." "What?" Wang Dalu was startled, he hurriedly put the rusty vajra on the stall, and continued: "Why is this thing so expensive, look at the rust on that body, you still sell it so expensive?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "Young man! I think you're just wandering around the antique market with nothing to do, and you don't want to buy anything at all, just to pass the time, right? ”
Wang Dalu hurriedly said: "Uncle, I did not come to the antique market to buy things, I came to sell things. Wang Dalu looked at this old man and thought he was very powerful, so he wanted him to give him a palm, so he said to the old man: "Uncle, I have a baby, I don't know if you are interested?" ”
The old man looked at Wang Dalu and asked, "Is it a vajra?"
Wang Dalu hurriedly asked, "Old man, how do you know?" The old man looked at Wang Dalu and smiled. Wang Dalu continued to ask, "Uncle, how do you know?" ”
The old man sneered and said, "Come with me!" The old man got up from his horse, and he beckoned to a little girl beside him, and the little girl came over, and the old man said to the little girl, "You can help me look at the stall." The little girl nodded.
The old man turned his head to look at Wang Dalu and said, "Come with me!" As he spoke, he led Wang Dalu to the antique market, and the old man kept walking with him inside, and stopped at the door of a shop called: 'Rare Treasures'. The old man said to Wang Dalu, "Come in with me!" After speaking, he walked in with Wang Dalu.
A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy came over and said to the old man, "Boss, are you back?" The old man nodded, turned around and walked inside, and Wang Dalu hurriedly followed.
I came to a room inside, and the decoration in this room was very simple, just a desk for work, a few chairs, and a few potted plants next to it.
The old man said to Wang Dalu, "Sit down!" Wang Dalu made it to a chair next to the desk, and the old man said to Wang Dalu: "You take out the things, I'll take a look!" ”
Wang Dalu nodded and took the vajra out of his arms. When the old man saw the almost yellow cloth, he quickly stood up from the chair, put on his reading glasses, walked to Wang Dalu's side, and took the vajra handed over by Wang Dalu.
The old man carefully opened the yellow cloth, looked at the vajra inside, and Wang Dalu saw that the old man's eyes were actually shining. The old man smiled.
The old man kept looking at it for a while, and then he said to Wang Dalu, "Where did you get this thing from?" You can't steal it, do you? ”
Wang Dalu hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, this thing was actually dug out of my yard, I wanted to dig a cellar in the yard of my house, but I didn't expect to dig this thing under a big stone, I think this must be left to me by my ancestors!" ”
The old man's eyes changed at this time, and he looked at Wang Dalu with strange eyes, but at this time, Wang Dalu's eyes were all attracted by the vajra, and he was afraid that the old man would suddenly change things for him. The old man looked at Wang Dalu and asked, "Are you sure this thing was dug up from your house?" ”
Wang Dalu looked at the old man at this time and nodded seriously, and said, "But then, is it still dug up from your house?" ”
The old man smiled and nodded. Then he took a closer look at the vajra in his hand, the old man raised his head and looked at Wang Dalu, looked at it for a while, and then said, "Okay, since it was really dug up from your house, then you can sell this thing to me!" I can give you cash. ”
Wang Dalu asked, "Then how much is this thing worth?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "This vajra is worth 80,000, but I feel that this thing is very related to me, I can give you 100,000, what do you think?" As long as you agree, I'll go get you the money first. ”
When Wang Dalu heard the 100,000 yuan, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay! Good! Good! The old man quickly put the vajra aside, then walked to the desk, took out a hundred thousand yuan from a locked cupboard, and put it on the table. (To be continued.) )
