The old man saw that Li Yi actually took out a magnifying glass to watch, and couldn't help laughing:

"I also suspected that it might be a miniature sculpture, but it was ...... Little brother, I thought you were just interested in this, but I didn't expect you to carry a magnifying glass with you, are you in the antique business? ”

"Well, sort of, I work in a pawn shop. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Li Yi carefully observed with a magnifying glass, looking for possible clues as much as possible, and replied very casually.

"Oh, that's no wonder, little brother, what are you good at?"

"You know a little bit about it...... Pat, Pat! ”

Li Yi had just finished answering the old man's question, when he suddenly raised his head and beckoned to Pat who was not far away.

"What's wrong?"

At the beginning, Rogov was with Li Yi, but after a while, he was taken away by Pat to help greet the guests.

"It's nothing, I want to buy this set of balls, I don't know if there is any discount at this price."

"Originally, no, this old gentleman has been here many times, it should be very clear. But if you want it, that's the 5,000 euro discount. ”

Pat first said hello to the old man, and then said to Li Yi.

5,000 euros is more than 40,000 soft sister coins, although compared to a thing with a price tag of 150,000 euros, this concession is not much, but the absolute value is also quite considerable, so the old man looked at Li Yi very curiously, this young man is Pat's friend?

"Oh no, Mr. Liu, if you just spent millions of euros in the store, I think I will give you this discount too."

Liu Lao suddenly, silently watched Li Yi swipe the card to pay the bill and complete the procedure, watched Pat and Luo Guofu laugh and leave, and then leaned into Li Yi's ear and asked quietly:

"Have you discovered the secret?"

Li Yi smiled and nodded, when he used a magnifying glass to observe the blank space just now, he did not find any trace of microsculpture at first. It's just that because the inner wall of the hollow ball is really thin, so after careful observation for a while, he still barely saw a few very irregular stroke marks, but these traces are in the opposite direction, that is, there should be words engraved on this blank, but the handwriting is not engraved on the outer surface, but on the inside of the sphere!

With this discovery, he naturally used perspective, and sure enough, on the blank inner surface, hundreds of small characters were densely engraved several times smaller than ants, so he called Pat over, no matter what it carved, in short, it was only right to buy things first.

After all the formalities were completed, the tooth carving set ball already belonged to him, so Li Yi was no longer taboo, turned the set ball to a suitable angle, and looked into it carefully through a magnifying glass.

"The Buddha told the Bodhisattva: In the future life, if there is a good man and a good woman, who hears the name of the Jizo Bodhisattva Mahasattva, or who joins hands, admires, worshippers, or admires, then a person will transcend the sins of the thirty eons."

"If there are good men and good women, or painted images, or earth, stone, glue paint, gold, silver, copper, and iron, they will be this bodhisattva. The one who sees and bows is a person who has been born for thirty-three days and will never fall into the evil way. If the heavens are blessed, the next life in the world will still be a king, and there will be no great gains. ”

"Zi Hongli dedicates filial piety to the saint Ci Xuankang Hui Dun and Cheng Hui Ren Mu Jing Tianguang Shengxian Empress Dowager, Qianlong forty-three years."

Li Yi gasped, this scripture is an excerpt from the "Dizo Bodhisattva Original Wish Sutra", it is the Buddha telling the Puguang Bodhisattva that in the middle of the future life, if there are men and women who do good, people who have heard the name of the great Bodhisattva of the Jizo Bodhisattva, or those who clasp their palms respectfully, admire, worship, and admire, these people can transcend the sin karma of thirty eons.

If a good man or a good woman paints an image with color, or paints gold, silver, copper, iron, and so on, and makes an image of Jizo Bodhisattva, and then visits it once, and prays once, then this person can be born a hundred times and go back and forth for thirty-three days, and never fall into the evil path.

This set of balls will actually be used by Emperor Qianlong to sacrifice his biological mother Chongqing Empress Dowager in the second year after the death of his biological mother Chongqing Empress Dowager!

"The Jizo Bodhisattva Sutra? What is this about miniature carving? ”

Li Yi has studied some Buddhism because of the spirit card, and although he can't memorize several famous scriptures, he knows the general content, but he didn't expect that the old man actually knew that this scripture was taken from the "Dizang Sutra".

"Old man, this is indeed the content of the miniature carving, and this miniature carving also has great significance, great use, this is cheap, it is really a big deal!"

"Oh?"

When the old man heard this, he couldn't help but be a little anxious, but now this thing already belonged to Li Yi, and looking at his appearance, it seemed to be very precious, he didn't know whether he should open his mouth and beg Li Yi to let him see the content of the miniature carving.

"It's okay, old man, put the ball on the table and turn on the lamp to see it better."

Li Yi put the set of balls on the desk where the four treasures of the study were placed, and turned on the table lamp, which was originally used to let guests see the collection more clearly, but it was also an antique from the Republic of China.

This is an excerpt from the sixth chapter of the Jizo Sutra, the Nyorai Praise...... My God, it's actually something that Emperor Qianlong gave to the Queen Mother, you really took advantage of it! ”

Liu Lao exclaimed, he didn't study too much history, and he didn't know that the Empress Dowager Chongqing died in the 42nd year of Qianlong, but the words Qianlong dedicated to the Empress Dowager, no one would understand it wrong.

"It's a good baby......

Li Yi smiled while carefully putting the set of balls into the box, although he spent a lot of money today, but the things he bought were really good, and what was even more fortunate was that he actually got two treasures from the Qing Palace in a row, and one was more precious than the other!

Liu Lao watched Li Yi hand over the box to Gu Feng who was standing on the side, he liked this set of balls very much, but because of the price and that inexplicable defect, he didn't make up his mind after watching it more than 10 times in half a year, but he didn't expect to be bought by Li Yi in the end, and he also discovered such a big secret, and for a while, regret, envy and other emotions all came to his heart, making him more and more itchy and hard to scratch.

"Little brother, I'll discuss something with you, do you want to transfer this set of balls to me?"

Seeing Li Yi shaking his head, Liu Lao hurriedly said:

"I don't think you're short of money, but little brother, I've been in France for more than ten years, and I've been to basically all European countries, so I've also collected a lot of good things, and I'll exchange them with you!"

"Oh? Take something to exchange with me? ”

"Well, I have Yuan Qinghua Ming Doucai Qing pastel, I also have a collection of ancient paintings of Tang Yin, Tang Bohu, Ma Yuan and Ma Qinshan, all of which are old collections of the Qing Palace, and there are also the appreciation seals of Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, if you like it, you can choose any of these!"

Li Yi quietly gasped, he didn't expect the old man to collect so many good things, it seems that he should really go around, instead of dwelling on what path he should take in the future, this is simply a waste of time and life!

After thinking about it for a while, although the old man has these things is good, if from the perspective of rich collection, it seems that he should leave this rare ivory carving boutique, but it shouldn't be anything to see, right? What if you find something more collectible?

"Okay, but ...... Mr. Liu, I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't had time to take a closer look at a lot of things in this store, why don't you find a place to rest for a while? ”

"It's okay, I'll wait until you finish reading!"

Watching Liu Lao walk to the rest area and sit down, Li Yi walked back to the front of Bogujia, looked up and down for a while, and picked up a Xuande furnace with a diameter of about 15 centimeters and looked at it.

Xuande furnace is a copper incense burner designed and manufactured during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, referred to as "Xuanlu furnace", which is a treasure in the handicrafts of the Ming Dynasty.

The successful casting of Xuande furnace opened a precedent for copper furnaces in later generations, and for a long period of time, Xuande furnace even became the common name of copper incense burners.

According to records, Xuande produced a total of 3,000 pieces of copper incense burners made of red copper in three years, most of which were displayed in various places in the court, and a small part was rewarded and distributed to the emperor's relatives, famous ministers and temples with large scale incense. But so far, in the Xuande furnace handed down from generation to generation, there has not been a Xuande furnace that everyone recognizes as being really produced in Xuande of the Ming Dynasty for three years, so this matter has also become a mystery.

About the three years of Xuande, with the tribute of the red copper casting furnace 3000 said, the original canon is "Xuande Yi Atlas", all the later records, basically from this book, although this book is also included in the "Siku Quanshu", but now, there are experts who suspect that this book may be a forgery in the late Ming Dynasty, the most direct evidence is that there is no record of Xuande three years of casting furnace in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and there is no so-called real Xuande furnace found until now.

This Xuande furnace is not a real Xuande furnace cast in Xuande three years, because the style at the bottom of the vessel is the regular script of "Xuande five years Wu Bangzuo made".

Wu Bangzuo is a famous craftsman in Xuande copper casting process, the supervisor of smelting and casting Xuande furnace, and the designer of furnace type, style and color. According to records, Wu Bangzuo cast a large number of bronze vessels for the palace temple, and also "privately cast" copper furnaces for sale, and the identification of the bottom of this Xuande furnace shows that this is likely to be a copper furnace privately cast by Wu Bangzuo.

It's just that even if it is privately cast by Wu Bangzuo, if it is true, it is definitely a rare good treasure. (To be continued.) )
