Chapter 167: Underground Market II

Yang Jibin observed carefully, these four gatekeepers were full of blood, and they were obviously martial artists who practiced kung fu.

Inside, there was a large empty room, and there was nothing but rows of sofas and coffee tables. There were already quite a few people sitting in the room, divided into several small groups, talking in small groups and whispering something.

Wang Zhiyi pulled Yang Jibin, found an empty sofa in a suitable place, and the three of them sat down in turn.

"Brother, this is the heart of the underground trading market, and everyone who has a rare treasure in everything loves to come here for auction transactions. Look at the grandparents and grandchildren in the corner over there, they are the Qin family, one of the four major pharmaceutical merchants in Tianfu Province, the old one is Qin Yuanzhou, the head of the Qin family, and the little girl is his granddaughter Qin Xinyi; The one with a face full of flesh and a fierce look is Suo Liqun of the Suo family, and this Suo family is now in the limelight; That's the fat Dudu, who seems to be loyal, is Duan Chengyun of the Duan family. ......" Wang Zhiyi whispered in Yang Jibin's ear to introduce the main characters in this room.

"Brother Wang, you came early today!" Just as Wang Zhiyi whispered to Yang Jibin, three people came in from outside, obviously the three people were very familiar with Wang Zhiyi, and they all greeted him warmly.

"Brother Guan, Brother Shan, Brother Yun, look at your red faces, there must be something good to do today. It's all here, so don't hide it anymore, introduce it to my brother, let me open my eyes! Wang Zhiyi said with a smile.

"Brother Wang, you're not slapping us in the face, it's a little gadget that you want to shoot, I'm afraid it's hard to get into your eyes." The three politely replied that they are all professional antique players, and they like to visit the antique and thrift markets on weekdays. Try your luck, shop for treasures, pick up leaks or something.

This antique business is like this, it will not be open for three years, and it will be open for three years, all relying on eyesight and luck. Today you can get rich overnight, and tomorrow you can go bankrupt and have nothing.

"Come on, let's not talk darkly, this is my little brother Yang Jibin and his cousin, I took them here today to have a long experience. Don't look at my little brother, he is young, but he has a lot of ability. Brother, these three are Guan Zhenghao, Shan Yangxia, and Yun Anguo. They are all big connoisseurs, they have extraordinary eyesight, and they often pick up treasures. Wang Zhiyi introduced several people to each other.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I can make Brother Wang look at him differently, I think my brother must have something extraordinary, he is really a hero since ancient times, it is really amazing!" Guan Zhenghao, who is rough on the outside but delicate on the inside. After looking at it for a while, he clasped his fists and saluted Yang Jibin.

"A couple of big brothers. It's really my brother Wang's promotion, and the kid really doesn't deserve to be so valued by a few people! Today, I also followed Brother Wang to open my eyes, casually see if there is anything I like, and learn to Taobao! Yang Jibin was also very polite, and his tone was very modest.

"Okay, don't be polite. Tell me what you brought here, I can't wait! Wang Zhiyi saw that he was very happy to hunt, and he seemed very anxious, how could he have the patience to continue to greet him, so he urged loudly.

"Howler! Brother Wang spoke. I have no choice but to be ugly, Brother Wang, little brother, please look! After Guan Zhenghao finished speaking, he took out a mahogany box from the suitcase he carried, took out a string of Buddhist beads from inside, and then continued: "This string of Buddhist beads is not simple, but it is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. ”

According to records, the seven treasures of Buddhism are seven kinds of treasures, namely "clams, gold, silver, agate, coral, glass, and amber". The most unknown and rarest of these seven gemstones is the clams, as it comes from the abyssal waters of the Indian Ocean or the western Pacific Ocean, and is less known because of the earth's crustal orogeny. As a result, it is produced in very small quantities and is very precious.

Yang Jibin curiously took the Buddha beads, and the nineteen clams were extremely smooth due to being touched for a long time. Buddha beads are also prayer beads, and the types are roughly divided into three categories: hand beads, holding beads and hanging beads. Hand beads are generally worn on the wrist, and can also be held in the hand at any time to twist and chant the Buddha. In addition to the number of prayer beads commonly worn in scriptures, the number of rosaries also depends on the thickness of the wrist and the size of the beads.

Among the beads, the largest number is 18 (19 with the main bead) and 108 (109 with the main bead). 18 represents the eighteen non-common dharmas, which are the unique merits of the eighteen Buddhas, which are not possessed by other sages, so they are said to be uncommon; 18 also represents the eighteen worlds: the inner six root realms, the outer six dust realms, plus the six consciousness realms, a total of eighteen realms, and all the phenomena in the universe contained in the eighteen realms.

108 represents one hundred and eight afflictions, that is, one hundred and eight afflictions of human beings. To put it simply, these one hundred and eight kinds of afflictions are nothing more than five covers: greed, anger, stupidity, slowness, and doubt, that is, greed, resentment, stupidity, arrogance, and doubt.

"Yes, it's good. Tridacnus has extremely high medicinal value: it is recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that it has the effect of locking the heart and calming the nerves. It can cool blood, lower blood pressure, and calm the nerves. Tridacnus can protect the body, prolong life, Buddhism regards it as a magical treasure to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits, so it is regarded by Buddhism as a treasure of the town.

This pendant is exquisitely carved, similar to the vajra body, helping you to practice, health, qi, protection, peace, is the double cultivation of blessings and wisdom, close to nature, and the method leading to eternal life. This white clams are praised by Buddhists as the purest white in the biological world, so they are highly respected by the Buddhist community. After reading it, Yang Jibin commented a few words, and then carefully returned the string of Buddhist beads to Guan Zhenghao.

"Brother, I can't see that you are still an expert, so help me grow my eyes!" Hearing Yang Jibin say this, Shan Yangxia had to look at him, so he took out the treasure he brought.

Yang Jibin took a piece of wooden stake about 40 centimeters long, sniffed it with his nose, observed it carefully, and said with a smile: "This is fragrant wood, it is really rare to have such a quality."

The medicinal part of Huanghuali is called Huali lattice or fragrant wood, which mainly refers to the heartwood part of its trunk and roots. The smell of the herb is fragrant, the taste is slightly bitter, the aroma of burning is strong and there is oil flowing out, add water and grind, the liquid medicine can treat all kinds of pain, can also be ground powder and applied externally, relieve pain and stop bleeding, is an excellent analgesic. With its heartwood into medicine, there is a fragrance, the main treatment of rheumatism, low back pain, vomiting blood, heart and stomach pain, high blood pressure and other diseases, and can make incense fixative, is the famous incense family. ”

Modern scientific research has proved that the essential oil extracted from rosewood can stimulate cell regeneration and metabolism, which is conducive to the nourishment of dry skin; It has excellent anti-wrinkle function on the skin, can promote skin tissue regeneration and enhance skin elasticity.

The essential oil also has antibacterial, insecticidal, and tension-relieving properties. Burning rosewood can play a role in incense. For example, the bedrooms of the elderly or the physically weak, and the bedrooms of the elderly and weak women and children who need long-term care can all play a role in daily conditioning by burning rosewood.

Hainan Huanghuali, also known as "antihypertensive wood", is called "incense" in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", its sawdust soaking in water can lower blood pressure and blood lipids, and make pillows to relax muscles and invigorate blood.

"My brother is really discerning, when I first met him, I couldn't recognize it like you, and when I bought two thousand yuan, I was still a little unsure!" Shan Yangxia said with a smile.

"Two thousand dollars? Congratulations to my brother, this is a big deal. The market price of such a large piece of fragrant wood can be worth at least 300,000! Wang Zhiyi's eyes lit up.

When Xu Xuenan heard this, he suddenly set off a storm in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: The things bought for these two thousand yuan can be sold for hundreds of thousands in the blink of an eye, which is a hundredfold benefit, no wonder some people don't want to drill into the antique flowers and trees, so he asked curiously: "Where did you get this baby?" ”

Such words were originally taboo in this kind of underground trading place that belonged to the black market, but Shan Yangxia also knew that Xu Xuenan didn't know these taboos at all, so she didn't care about her recklessness, and said to everyone with a smile: "This is also good luck, when I went to Hainan once, I accidentally found it when I was begging for water in a family's house." ”

"Big Brother Shan is really a Hongfu person, so he can pick up treasures!" Yang Jibin also complimented.

"I don't know brother, how much do you want to make this piece of incense wood?" The meaning of Wang Zhiyi's words is obvious, and he is very interested in this piece of incense wood.

"Brother Wang, if you dare to be interested, just give a price to pick up the friendship between our brothers!" Shan Yangxia pretended to be generous and said.

"Then how can it be done, brother, settle accounts, I still understand this rule. In this way, the market price is about 300,000 yuan, and I will directly pay 350,000 yuan, do you think it is appropriate? Wang Zhiyi sincerely wanted to buy it, so he offered a higher price.

"Okay, it's completely beyond my expectations, Brother Wang is really a bold person!" Shan Yangxia was very satisfied with the price, agreed on the spot, put the incense wood into the wooden box, and handed it out.

"Then, I'll thank Brother Shan for cutting my love, and I'll transfer the account to you when we go out in a while!" Wang Zhiyi smiled and took the box containing the fragrant wood, and then carefully placed it beside him, very satisfied, this piece of fragrant wood is very good in appearance and medicinal effect, made into a wooden pillow, and is suitable for his elders.

At this time, Yun Anguo was not to be outdone and took out a long string of beads he brought.

"Hey, this is our Taoist rosary!" Yang Jibin couldn't help but light up at a glance, only to see that this string of beads was engraved with a strong and powerful word "Dao".

Although Yang Jibin studied medicine and martial arts under Xuanyang Daoist, he was actually only a half-hung Taoist priest, and he failed to truly enter the Tao with a pure heart and few desires, but this did not affect his understanding and love of Taoist culture. (To be continued......)
