On the chaotic and noisy streets, there are crowds of people, not far away Lingya Mountain stands majestically, quite magnificent, the pines and cypresses in the mountains are evergreen, on which you can clearly see the strips of yellow cloth belts, stand farther away, see not really, but for the pilgrims in the past, it is not a great thing, the blessing belt, it sounds good, you can increase luck, bless peace, but look at the vendors under the mountain, you will know that this is just a means of merchants.

Lingya Mountain as the Yellow Emperor sacrifice to the heavens in the year, naturally a little unusual, although the mountain is short, but better in the beauty, the long river under the mountain flows forever, as the saying goes: the mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, there is a dragon is the spirit, since it is the place where the Yellow Emperor sacrificed to the sky, then there is a well-known name "Tianye Cave" here, do not respect God, do not respect the immortals, only respect the morality is the emperor, whether it is Buddhism or Taoism, there will be a place here, so the land of the three religions and nine streams, this is what it says.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, on the third day of March, Xuanyuan was born, every time the third day of the first month of March came, the area of this Lingya Mountain was very lively, pilgrims from near and far gathered here, praying for blessings and burning incense, this is faith.

"Take a look, take a look, just unearthed cultural relics, this is a good treasure, the legend is the burial of the rich family here during the Ming Dynasty, you look at this color, this ancient rhyme, worth this one, the opportunity can not be lost, and the loss will not come again." In the direction of entering the mountain, by the ancient bridge, a sloppy middle-aged man kept shouting, which also attracted a lot of pilgrims.

"How do you sell this thing?" There were many rich people among the onlookers, but the one who spoke was a hunched old man, holding a dry tobacco, standing in front of the stall, picking up the jade Buddha and rubbing it constantly, as if he was very interested in this thing.

Seeing that there were as many as seven or eight people around, the middle-aged man cleared his throat and sat there, like a master in the world.

"Look at what you said, the Jade Buddha is a thing, the emphasis is on fate, if there is fate, it doesn't hurt to send you, but if there is no fate, even if you give me ten thousand gold, I won't sell it! Someone once offered 50,000 yuan, seeing that you are also a knowledgeable person, I will give you a 6% discount, 30,000, no less. As soon as these words came out, Lao Suo sighed, took the jade Buddha, and said with reluctance: "Alas, the thing is a good thing, worth the price, poor my old man has nothing to do with this treasure, alas." Lao Suo took a puff of dry cigarette, his expression was depressed, and he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing.

"Is this really that good?" Behind the old man, a middle-aged man stood next to a beautiful woman, who should have come here to pay homage, seeing that the old man's face was sincere and not fake, and he was more interested in the jade Buddha covered in mud, he asked.

The old man glanced at him and said stupidly: "Nonsense, with my many years of collecting experience, this thing is definitely a licensed product, not to mention 50,000, even 100,000 is worth it." In the end, the old man deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that others would hear it.

The middle-aged man had a happy face, walked to the stall, picked up the palm-sized jade Buddha, wrapped in clay, but a little quaint, couldn't help but glance at the stall owner, and whispered a few words in the stall owner's ear.

The stall owner had a difficult face, and finally sighed heavily: "Alas, okay, okay, today I see that you and I are fateful, you can take this jade Buddha away, it can be regarded as a creation of you and me." ”

After the stall owner finished speaking, he stood up, waved his hand and said, "It's all gone, today's treasure was obtained by this gentleman, and you don't have any share." ”

Only the stall owner and the middle-aged man were left beside the ancient bridge, and the beautiful woman stood aside, while the hunched old man was much further back, smoking a dry cigarette, and looked up and down from time to time.

"Wait!" Just as the middle-aged man was about to pay, an inopportune voice came from the bridge.

Two young men in their twenties walked over, and the leader was full of smiles, staring at the middle-aged man, slightly cunning.

"Why don't you let me see this Jade Buddha?" Seeing the young man coming, the stall owner's face changed instantly, and he squeezed his eyebrows at him, gritting his teeth tightly.

The young man didn't seem to see it, and along the way, he didn't shy away from it, smiled at the middle-aged man, snatched the Buddha statue from the stall owner's hand, and said with a smile: "The jade Buddha is mostly the Ming Buddha, except for the things that are worn, it is rarely brought into the tomb, although the people of the Ming Dynasty are not particular about it, but to say that this jade Buddha is a treasure, it is indeed far-fetched." ”

"Nonsense, what do you know about a little fart kid!" The stall owner said angrily, and then saw that the middle-aged man did not fluctuate, and he was more relaxed.

"Yes, little brother, I have always studied antiques, this jade Buddha does not seem to be fake, and the color is also excellent, it is indeed worth the money."

The young man shook his head and smiled, turned his head, glared at the stall owner, and continued: "The Jade Buddha is indeed not a fake, and it is a first-class product, but the Buddha is upright, although Guanyin's appearance is more weak, there should be no gloomy and filthy atmosphere. ”

As the young man spoke, he flicked a small piece of dirt on top of the Buddha statue, and with a twist of his hand, the clod turned into ash and took on a strange red color.

The young man was about to open his mouth to continue talking, but the middle-aged man was impatient, took out his wallet, counted out 20,000 yuan, and said, "Needless to say, I want this jade Buddha." ”

The young man was slightly embarrassed, and smiled at the young man beside him, but he was generally bitter, and when he saw the decisiveness of what the man said, he stepped aside and stopped talking.

"Hehe, you still know the goods, this kind of little hairy child, don't bother with him!" The stall owner counted the banknotes in his hand, glared at the young man, laughed a few times, wrapped the jade Buddha, and handed it to the man.

"You two come over to me!" Seeing the man walking away, the stall owner immediately changed his face and said angrily.

The two young men strode over, smiled, and said, "Uncle Zhang! ”

The hunched old man also came over, took the money from the stall owner, and without counting it, he stuffed it directly into his pocket.

"You two are so promising, you almost messed up a good thing!" The stall owner was furious, glanced at Lao Suo, snorted, and went down to the bottom of the bridge.

"You two dolls, don't go up and burn incense, run back and do something." Lao Sue took his pipe and knocked it on each of their heads.

It turns out that these two young people know the stall owner and Lao Suo, the young man who spoke before is named Liu Yuan, who has been boarding in the house called Zhang Erhe since he was a child, Zhang Erhe is the vendor, and he also has some reputation in the Lingya Mountain area, Lao Suo is also surnamed Zhang, nicknamed "Master Tu", but Zhang Erhe is not a family, he went to work when he was young, went to the countryside, and even became a leader in the town, but he was raided by the Red Guards during the **** period, and his wife was separated. Occasionally, they also learn to rob tombs, and take Fang Yuan's most famous "Tiger Pavilion" tomb robbery, which has something to do with them.

As for the young man next to Liu Yuan, he is his childhood friend and a resident of Lingya Mountain, named Chen Dong, who was a neighbor with Zhang Erhe when he was a child.

"Liu Yuan, I'll go first, and we'll talk when I'm free." Chen Dong said that he wanted to get together with Liu Yuan for a while, but his family called, and he had to go to relatives, so he had to come down early.

"Okay, we have to go back after the meeting, I'm afraid there will be fewer opportunities to meet in the future." Liu Yuanmian was reluctant and said goodbye to Chen Dong.

"Alright, alright, let's go." But Zhang Erhe didn't know when he changed his dress, black leather clothes and leather pants, and even his shoes were shiny and black.

Liu Yuan is helpless, this Zhang Erhe seems to have a soft spot for leather clothes, but this outfit is not cheap.

Walking on the Lingya Mountain Road, Liu Yuan and Zhang Erhe walked in front, but Lao Suo did not come up, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he was unwilling to take the mountain road.

"Uncle Zhang, your Jade Buddha is sold today, so you have to give some benefits." Liu Yuan said to himself, not caring about Zhang Erhe's murderous gaze at all.

"You're embarrassed to say that you don't want money, and I don't know what your old man thinks, so I have to send you to me to see what good things you have done on weekdays, hum!" Zhang Erhe didn't have a good airway.

"To be honest, it's good that your Jade Buddha can be sold, you say, you and Master Zhang avoided me, don't you just want to swallow it yourself? This Jade Buddha is half of my credit. Liu Yuan said disdainfully, and when he thought that the two of them were swallowing the Jade Buddha alone behind his back, he couldn't be happy.

Speaking of this jade Buddha, it really has something to do with Liu Yuan, although Zhang Erhe makes some money by reselling antiques on weekdays, but it is too far behind Liu Yuanlai, and this jade Buddha was obtained from a farmer for two hundred yuan a few months ago.

"You said it yourself, the Jade Buddha is not a good thing, and you asked me what kind of money I wanted?" Zhang Erhe walked on the mountain road and looked at Liu Yuan with disdain, the two of them walked together, not like an uncle and nephew at all.

"Alas, I told you that you don't understand, this jade Buddha can be lost and not sold, if that person gets it just now, I'm afraid it will hurt him." Liu Yuan sighed, turned around, and shook his head with a wry smile.

Zhang Erhe frowned, when it comes to appreciation, he is not as good as Liu Yuan even if he pats the horse, and getting this Buddha is just a whim, Liu Yuan has also said this before, but when he hears it today, he is puzzled.

"Why is that?" Zhang Erhe didn't grasp the previous topic, and asked patiently, he admired Liu Yuan a hundred times for this matter.

"Before I finished speaking, the man was anxious to leave, it can be seen that he is either in a hurry, or a person with an unstable mind, and he is almost obsessed with the Jade Buddha, plus he went up the mountain to burn incense, he must have encountered something unpleasant recently, and he urgently needs faith to caress him, and the woman behind him just now, have you noticed? She looks beautiful, but she wears heavy makeup, luxurious but exaggerated, and there is another point, there is a ring on the ring finger of the man's left hand, but although the woman has a lot of jewelry, she is the only one missing a wedding ring, so I guess that the woman is not the man's original match, and the man does not have too much joy for the woman, but I am afraid that the source of the man's sorrow is in this family. Liu Yuan finished speaking in one breath, but Zhang Erhe was confused.

"What does this have to do with the Jade Buddha?"

Liu Yuan paused, stopped, the two walked to the open space of the mountain road, lit a cigarette, looked at the plaque of the Daxiong Treasure Hall on the other side of the mountain, shook his head, took a puff, and said, "The relationship is big." ”

"I got this jade Buddha before, it was a coincidence, I said, the jade Buddha is ominous, gold and silver can be put into the soil, even the jade is also general, but this Buddha is not necessarily, just now I took off the soil above the Buddha statue, you should have seen, it is not soil, but human blood mixed with rotting corpses, the jade Buddha with blood, ominous, and Guanyin's appearance is already feminine, plus the person is because of the woman's worries, I am afraid that within seven days, the family will be changed."
