Chapter 48: Victory in the preliminary round
There are many theories and inferences about the dzi, and some of the arguments are still unsubstantiated. From the archaeological data, it is concluded that the natural dzi beads, as the ornaments of the early Tibetan people, are mainly composed of some ancient places (also known as the 'ancient Tethys Sea') after simple polishing.
The archaeological discoveries of Tibetan archaeologist Suo Langwangdui believe that the Himalayas were a vast sea in ancient times, and when the earth changed and the mountain peaks were uplifted, some shellfish conch and plankton in the ancient Mediterranean Sea were jade into dzi in the extremely harsh natural geographical environment.
When the ancient Tibetans picked up a living, living jade stone, they would reverently believe that it was an ornament worn by the gods, and they turned this reverence for the gods and the reverence for life into worship of the dzi. In the inheritance of history, people continue to endow dzi with various cultural connotations, such as consummation merits, so that such a perfect stone and jade culture has been passed down from generation to generation.
In Tibetan Buddhism, when the Buddha statue is consecrated by the "lama" to attract the spirits to station, in addition to the installation of Buddhist scriptures, mantras, a small number of gold, silver and precious stones, some of them are also decorated with relics or dzis.
After listening to Lin Meiru's explanation, Li Tianbao finally understood what the dzi was, and his heart immediately flooded with thoughts and said to himself: "It turns out that the dzi is also jade, then this thing must be particularly valuable, and I will have a few to play with in the future." ”
"The beauty of thinking! Dzi can be encountered but not sought, otherwise the monasteries of Tibetan Buddhism will not regard dzi as the seven treasures of Tibetan secrets, so you can imagine its rarity. Lin Meiru obviously despised Li Tianbao.
Li Tianbao was accustomed to Lin Meiru's contempt, so there was no need to argue with him, but asked Landor, "What are your plans in the future?" ”
"I've been looking for a while in Beijing, the money on my body is gone a few days ago, I met Xiao Jun on the way, he said let me participate in the gambling stone competition for free, I think if I win, I can also have a lot of bonuses, so I agreed, I didn't expect that guy to be worried about the black bear. I just received a call from my senior brother saying that I have an eyebrow about the whereabouts of the dzi and asked me to go to Yunnan to meet him, so I am about to leave, and I can only entrust you with the "black bear", I don't know if you agree? ”
Such a good thing, how could Li Tianbao disagree, the first time he saw the "black bear", Li Tianbao had an idea, if the sword is placed on the black bear, then who can steal the sword? Save yourself from worrying about it, and always carry the sword on your back.
"I don't think it's good, the 'black bear' is yours after all, and it's so valuable, otherwise you can sell it, and you can throw away the burden even if you have money." Of course, Li Tianbao knew that Landor would not sell the black bear, and he only said a few polite words, but it attracted Lin Meiru's dissatisfaction.
"Look at you like that, you're about to laugh and pretend?"
After Lin Meiru finished speaking, Landor laughed, he patted the head of the "black bear" and said, "Follow your new master, and when I have the opportunity to find me in Tibetan Province in the future, I will leave soon." ”
The "black bear" seemed to understand something, and made a whining sound from its mouth, as if trying to hold on to its master.
Li Tianbao said: "Leave now?" ”
"That's right, the matter of the dzi can't be delayed, now our temple is panicking, the spiritual value of that thing is immeasurable, so we must find it as soon as possible."
Li Tianbao lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said to Landor: "Wait for me for a while, I'll be back immediately." After speaking, Li Tianbao hurriedly ran out, and after about ten minutes, he returned to the house. He took all the money in his bank card and put it in Landor's hands.
"Take it, it's just a few hundred thousand. You leave my number, and if you need to find me again in the future, I can directly transfer the money to your card. I'll take good care of the black bear, and you can take it away at any time when you're done. ”
Landor didn't expect Li Tianbao to do this, and he was so grateful that he almost burst into tears. He took the money and walked out without looking back, because he didn't want to see the reluctant eyes of the "black bear".
Li Tianbao didn't expect that so many things would happen when he saw Landor again in the future, of course, that was a later story.
Lin Meiru looked at Li Tianbao and said with a smile: "It's beautiful, you kid is really lucky, the baby keeps coming." Not to mention, I also got a Chinese god dog. After speaking, Lin Meiru reached out and wanted to touch the black bear's head, but the "black bear" stared at her and let out a warning roar.
Li Tianbao couldn't help laughing when he looked at Lin Meiru's discoloration, and then reached out and touched the head of the "black bear" and said, "How is it?" Miss Lin, our "black bear" is to prevent a guy like you from doing anything wrong. ”
After Li Tianbao finished speaking, he took off the denim bag containing the "Fucha Sword" behind him, put it on the back of the "Black Bear", and recorded the bag buckle on its body. The "Black Bear" didn't mean anything to object, and his huge body didn't have the slightest problem carrying the sword. The "black bear" also licked Li Tianbao's hand with his tongue as a gesture of goodwill, obviously taking this Li Tianbao, who can give full play to his ability, as the new owner.
Lin Meiru looked at it and thought, the big guy "Black Bear" is fierce and abnormal, it is estimated that more than a dozen men dare not get close, if they can't win the game, they won't have a chance to get that sword. She glared at Li Tianbao helplessly, turned around and went out and returned to her room.
Li Tianbao also returned to his room with the "Black Bear", and he first played with the "Black Bear" for a while before remembering the Blue Mist. When Li Tianbao picked up the flashlight from the ground and checked it, he found that it had just fallen on the ground and was only a little lost, and there was still a beam of light when he turned on the switch.
"Try to see if you can summon the blue mist, if you can't summon it at any time, you will definitely not be able to pass tomorrow's knockout round."
After thinking about it, Li Tianbao slowly transferred the light of the flashlight to his right eye.
Li Tianbao's beautiful wish could not be realized, and under the strong light, not only did the blue mist not react in the slightest, but there were bursts of sharp pain in his right eye. Li Tianbao threw the flashlight on the bed and said angrily: "Grass, why is it useless, what is going on?" ”
After thinking about it, he still didn't come to any conclusion, Li Tianbao lay on his back on the bed, losing the vigor he had just now. The "black bear" seemed to sense the frustration of its owner, and it walked to the side of the bed and comforted the back of Li Tianbao's hand.
Li Tianbao stretched out his hand and stroked the head of the "black bear" and sighed: "It's okay, it's just a sword, it's not my thing." "That's the case, but of course Li Tianbao is still reluctant in his heart, but now there is nothing he can do. He has never been an indecisive and sentimental person, so he doesn't think much about it anymore. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.
During this time, I really haven't slept as comfortably and comfortably as last night, and the reason is, of course, "Fucha Sword". But now that the "black bear" is under his care, he naturally has no worries.
Li Tianbao was dreaming of spending ** with Lin Meiru and Du Yuexin, and felt that something was licking his face, and Li Tianbao saw a big face of the "black bear" as soon as he opened his eyes. He got up and looked at the clock on his mobile phone at eight o'clock, and nine o'clock was the second round of elimination, although he didn't come up with a way to summon the blue mist at any time, but he couldn't take the initiative to give up, so Li Tianbao got up and took the "black bear" to eat early and hurried towards the game site.
If it weren't for the organizer's breakfast, Li Tianbao would probably be hungry, and yesterday he gave all the money on his body to Landor, and he forgot to keep some living expenses. If you can't win the game, it is estimated that you will be hungry during this time, and your own amount of food is fine, but the "black bear" is really a rice bucket. Li Tianbao knew why Landor had no money, this big guy had just eaten ten baskets of steamed buns, which was the breakfast of ten people, and some of the small ones couldn't eat a whole cage.
However, walking on the road of the villa with the black bear is indeed enough to pull the wind, and the people around him cast envious glances from time to time, which made Li Tianbao, an arrogant maniac, happy, and hummed a familiar melody along the way-Eighteen Touches.
When he came to the competition site, Li Tianbao saw that yesterday was a grand scene of five rows of long cases, and now only the front row of table cases remains. Come to think of it, there are only 100 of the more than 1,000 people left, but not many others are walking, all gathered around to watch the results of the second round, and they all want to see who will qualify for the final this year to win the Land Rover buggy and the prize money of 1 million.
Lin Meiru had already come to the table, showing a confident expression, and after Li Tianbao sat down, Lin Meiru immediately teased: "Pervert, are you sure of entering the finals?" I think you'd better give me the sword now, and let the "black bear" carry it on its back, hehe....... ”
", sir, if I want to enter the finals, I will enter the finals." Although Li Tianbao's words were tough, his confidence was obviously insufficient.
At this time, Du Yuexin has also achieved Li Tianbao's right hand position, she looked at Li Tianbao with a coquettish face and said: "Because there are only 100 people left in the knockout round, so after selecting the original stone, the staff will open the stone on the spot, and after polishing, there will be an appraiser to estimate it, and the results of the promotion to the finals will be announced according to the price. ”
Although Du Yuexin didn't say anything and asked Li Tianbao to take the initiative to give up the words of "Fucha Sword", that expression obviously meant that. Li Tianbao listened to it and thought, "Why are these two women so confident, and they really regard themselves as big winners." But after thinking about it, Li Tianbao was really a big layman in front of the two of them, and the surname Suo didn't say anything.
After the announcement of the start of the competition was issued on the stage, the participants on the scene began to get busy, and Lin Meiru and Du Yuexin also began to select the jade rough on the table in front of them.
Li Tianbao is now uninterested, and without the help of Blue Mist, it is impossible for him to pick out the best jade, so Li Tianbao is ready to take a stone to hit his luck before the end of his head. In boredom, Li Tianbao played with the "black bear" lying on his feet. The surname of the Tibetan mastiff itself is very calm, and the adult Tibetan mastiff will not flatter the owner like a pet dog. But the "black bear" is only eight months old, and if the Tibetan mastiff is considered an adult from the maturity of the surname, the Tibetan mastiff will be two years old, so the current "black bear" is still a naughty "child".
