Chapter 168: Stealing the Treasure
The shape of this Buddha shrine is simple, the ornamentation on it is very beautiful, there is a tiny dragon head at the top, the body is wrapped in the wooden flower vine, and the head is decorated with a double-layer brimmed helmet hat, like a Buddha hat and an official hat.
In addition, there is a dragon and a phoenix on both sides of the Buddhist shrine, the upper dragon and the lower phoenix, the demeanor is realistic, the lowest part is a unicorn, looking up to the sky, echoing with the dragon head in the top, looking at this good shape, Shen Gang knows that this Buddha shrine may be more valuable than the Buddha statue enshrined inside.
Seeing that Shen Gang's face was a little strange, Fang You put his eyes on the Buddha shrine on the wall, and after a while, he also shifted his gaze from the Buddha statue inside to the Buddha shrine, he only saw that the shape of this Buddha shrine was very strange, for wooden things, he was also a little vague, subconsciously launched the escape technique, and put his eyes on the Buddha shrine, and suddenly a spiritual energy that was not inferior to the Longquan kiln rushed into his body, making Fang You a little surprised.
How could this old man have so many treasures in his family, since his ancestor was a big official, why did he get mixed up to such an extent, coupled with what he had seen in the room before, Fang You couldn't help but shake his head and smile, this old mansion is very strange.
"Uncle Xu, how do you sell this Buddha statue." Afraid of arousing the suspicion of Old Man Xu, Shen Gang started with the Buddha statue first, he couldn't do without the Buddha statue inside, just the Buddha shrine outside, isn't it obvious that there are no silver three hundred taels here, in Shen Gang's eyes, the Buddha shrine outside is the most important.
Hearing Shen Gang's words, Old Man Xu looked at the Buddha statue on the wall with his chaotic eyes, and then sighed helplessly, "This Buddha statue has been hanging on this wall since I was a child, and it has hardly been moved, although it is not an heirloom, but it has blessed us for generations......"
This old man Xu chattered endlessly about the origin of this Buddha statue, Shen Gang smiled faintly, this old man Xu didn't look stupid, he was taking the opportunity to raise the price, "Uncle Xu, I just lack a Buddha statue at home, you have worshiped for so many years, this Buddha statue can also be contaminated with some aura when you go home, I bid 30,000 yuan, and even take away the Buddha statue with the outer shell, how about it." ”
"So much." Shen Gang's bid made Old Man Xu a little shocked, it seemed that in his eyes this was a broken Buddha statue, "But I have worshiped this Buddha statue all my life, and I am really reluctant." ”
"50,000 yuan, forget it if you don't sell it." Shen Gang was about to leave, but Old Man Xu gritted his teeth and said, "Eighty thousand yuan, make up an auspicious number, you want to buy it and take it now." ”
Shen Gang's expression was a little flat, although he wanted the Buddha shrine outside, but it was not the kind of wronged man, he didn't look at this Buddha shrine carefully, who knows how much it was worth, "Uncle Xu, your price is too high, don't sell it." With that, Shen Gang raised his feet and walked towards the living room, and Boss Wu, who was on the side, naturally followed closely, while Fang You shook his head with a smile and followed as well.
A few people stepped out of the back room, and saw Old Man Xu chasing after him directly, "Don't, I sold it to you, for the sake of my wife's illness, I sold it, come, come in, I'll wrap it up for you." ”
Fang You was still holding the small teacup in his hand, and the moment he left the house, he covered the teacup to his eyes, and saw the situation in the inner room clearly, he shook his head and smiled, took the teacup down, and at the same time inadvertently put his eyes on the bronze mirror, and then shook his head with a smile, there was no trace of aura in this bronze mirror, he smiled helplessly, and followed Shen Gang to the house.
I saw that Old Man Xu took a sheet casually, took off the Buddha statue on the wall along with the Buddha shrine, wrapped it tightly with the sheet, and then handed it to Shen Gang.
"Uncle Xu, you can accept the check." Shen Gang was excited, took out the checkbook, and asked, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand is the last word.
Old man Xu looked at Shen Gang's checkbook and nodded, "I know this thing, can I get the money by going to the bank?" ”
Shen Gang's face was happy, if this old man only needed cash, it would be troublesome, and if he delayed back and forth, maybe he wouldn't sell it, while speaking, Shen Gang directly wrote a check for 50,000 yuan, handed it to Old Man Xu with one hand, and was about to take the package with the other, Fang You smiled and put his hand directly on Shen Gang's hand, "Mr. Shen, I just look at this Buddha statue as an ordinary commodity, how can it be worth so much." As he spoke, Fang You glanced at Shen Gang.
Although Shen Gang was extremely conceited, Fang You still had a slight good impression of him, he couldn't watch others pit his own people, he smiled, it wasn't until just now that he really found out, just as he expected in his heart, this was a big scam at all.
When the old man Xu followed them out, the middle-aged woman lying on the bed sat up from the bed very quickly, and quickly turned out an identical Buddhist shrine from under the bed, and the same is true for the Buddha statues enshrined in it.
If it weren't for Elder Chu telling him this story, coupled with the fact that he had a technique to see through the wall, Fang You probably wouldn't have been able to see such a clever deception, who would care that a sick middle-aged woman could replace the Buddha shrine in such a short period of time.
Shen Gang paused, looked at the expression on Fang You's face, a little hesitant, he believed in his own vision, but why would Fang You stop him, could it be that Fang You also fell in love with this Buddhist shrine, wanted to squeeze him away, and then bought the Buddhist shrine alone.
Suddenly, he looked at Fang You's gaze, with a little suspicion, in the antique industry, everyone has it, Shen Gang has to be cautious, this Buddha shrine is indeed an old object, 50,000 yuan to buy, plus the Buddha statue inside, it is definitely a big profit, it can be said that it has picked up a big leak.
Seeing the suspicion on Shen Gang's face, Fang You shook his head with a smile, and then took his hand back, Shen Gang was not his friend, it was already interesting enough, if he insisted on buying it, he would never stop him.
Fang You's movements, and the smile on his face, made Shen Gang hesitate, and the kind of conceit in his heart came to his heart again, what he fancied made an ordinary person veto it like this, which made him feel resistant.
"Don't buy it, it's good, save me from being sorry for my ancestors, it's better for this Buddha statue to be tributed in my home." Old man Xu glanced at Fang You inadvertently, then shook his head and said, looking at his words, he seemed to be relieved.
Shen Gang hurriedly stopped Old Man Xu, "Don't, Uncle Xu, I'll buy it, I'll buy it, but can you help me change a bag, it's not too elegant to hold a sheet, right?" Although he didn't believe Fang You's words, Shen Gang was still cautious in his heart.
"Hmph, I only have a sheet, you don't buy it, don't buy it." Old man Xu snorted coldly, and stacked the sheets directly on the bed, looking like he didn't plan to sell them.
Seeing such a situation, Shen Gang couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, just 50,000 yuan made this old man a little unwilling to let go, but now he wanted to take a look, but he didn't sell it, Shen Gang also hesitated, whether to buy this thing or not.
"Lao Xu, if Shen Dashao doesn't buy it, I'll buy it, isn't it just 50,000 yuan, I'll give it to you." Seeing the hesitation on Shen Gang's face, Boss Wu was secretly happy, he also felt that the value of this Buddha shrine was not bad, and he definitely earned it after buying it for 50,000 yuan.
Seeing that he hadn't made a decision yet, Boss Wu came to grab his business, Shen Gang's hesitant face became extremely cold, and when he noticed Shen Gang's gaze, Boss Wu suddenly sobered up, and hurriedly asked, "Shen Dashao, let's give you this thing." ”
"Do you still buy it or not, don't push it around like this, if you push my old man again, he won't sell it, if you don't sell it, there are still a lot of people who sell it." Old man Xu sat on the bed angrily, and seemed to have a very good opinion of them.
Seeing that Fang You was still calm on his face, he didn't seem to be in a hurry because of Boss Wu and his bid, which made Shen Gang even more confused, and after thinking for a long time, he shook his head, "Uncle Xu, I just remembered that the money in my account is not enough, if you can wait for me for a day, I will come to buy it tomorrow." ”
"Hmph, wait for you for a day, I can afford to wait, my wife can't afford to wait, since you don't want it, I don't plan to sell it to you, you can go." Old man Xu looked very angry.
Seeing that Shen Gang finally spoke, Boss Wu showed joy on his face, "Don't, Lao Xu, I want, I want, I'll give you a check now." ”
"I won't sell 50,000 yuan, 80,000 yuan, do you like it?" Old man Xu sat on the edge of the bed, turned his face, and didn't give Boss Wu a good face at all.
Boss Wu thought about it and gritted his teeth, "Okay, 80,000 is 80,000, for you." As he spoke, he casually wrote a check for 80,000 yuan, gave it directly to Old Man Xu, and then took the package with a look of great surprise.
"Uncle Xu, where is the bathroom in your house, I want to make it easier." Suddenly, Fang You covered his stomach and said with a frown.
Old man Xu frowned, the money was in hand, he really wanted to drive these people out immediately, but doing so was even more suspicious, he pointed outside, "Just outside in the courtyard, there is a small earthen house, and inside is the toilet." ”
"Mr. Shen, you wait for me for a while, and I'll be back soon." As he spoke, Fang You covered his stomach and rushed directly to the toilet.
Shen Gang had a little strange on his face, he didn't know what kind of trick Fang You was playing, now that Fang You went to the toilet, they naturally had to wait for him, followed Old Man Xu to the living room, sat on a chair and drank tea, while Boss Wu was holding the sheet with the Buddha shrine tightly, as if he was afraid that as soon as he let go, he would be snatched by others, with an extremely excited and proud look on his face.
Fang You came to the courtyard, looked around, and came to the toilet, the courtyard was empty, Shen Gang's followers didn't know where to run to play, closed the door in the small house tightly, and he launched the escape technique, directly escaped the underground, and came to the inner room where the middle-aged woman was.
Since this old man Xu is a big liar, Fang You doesn't have that much spare time, and then be polite to him, these treasures are a money-making tool in the hands of Old Man Xu, which is simply a waste of the crystallization of China's 5,000-year-old culture.
