Master Bai Yan took out his reading glasses and put them on, and then set his eyes on the string of Buddhist beads that faintly emitted a blue halo.

The master looked very seriously, his brows furrowed slightly, he took the Buddha beads in his hand and looked at them for a long time, and then took out a magnifying glass and repeatedly studied the arhats carved on the eighteen beads.

After a while, Master Bai Yan sighed, then took off his reading glasses and said:

"Xiao Fangyang, you really failed the teacher...... I really can't see the origin of this string of eighteen Arhat Buddha beads......"

If you are an ordinary so-called expert, even if you can't understand it, you can't say it so straightforwardly, and you will definitely talk for a long time and give an ambiguous answer.

And Master Baiyan is bright and fair, if he understands, he understands, if he doesn't understand, he doesn't understand, and he won't hide it at all.

Fang Yang was slightly disappointed in his heart, something that even Master Bai Yan couldn't see, if he wanted to study the reason for it, it would probably be very difficult.

"It's okay, teacher, I'll just ask." Fang Yang said with a smile.

Master Bai Yan further explained:

"Xiao Fangyang, first of all, I can't see the material of this string of beads, it looks like it should be jade, but I don't know the origin of this jade at all, let alone the generation...... But I've just looked at each bead carefully, and the exquisite carving is breathtaking! At least I'm ashamed of myself ......."

"Teacher, you are too modest." Fang Yang smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that your carving is also the best in the world!" Who can surpass you throughout the ages does not have a well-known name? ”

Fang Yang's implication was that if the carver could surpass Master Bai Yan, it would definitely not be from the hands of nobodies. And there is a famous carving master in history, and the style of his works is impossible for Master Baiyan to be unfamiliar with.

Now even Master Baiyan can't see it accurately, which means that at least this carving can't be from the hands of a famous master.

Master Bai Yan waved his hand with a smile and said:

"There are no wonders in the world, and there are people outside the so-called heaven! But...... Speaking of this carving, I suddenly remembered where I had seen a similar technique. Let me think again......"

Fang Yang suddenly felt excited.

If Master Bai Yan could remember the origin of this kind of carving, it would be a breakthrough help for Fang Yang to find clues in the future.

Master Bai Yan stared at the string of Buddha beads and tried to recall, while Fang Yang looked at him expectantly.

After a while, Master Bai Yan stroked his palm and said:

"I remember! I said, how do you feel that the material of this Buddha bead is a little familiar...... Xiao Fangyang, I have indeed seen objects of the same material as this string of Buddhist beads before! No wonder I had a sense of déjà vu at first sight......"

He paused, then continued:

"About two years ago, a friend of mine brought a guqin to me to help him break the dynasty, and at that time this guqin was inlaid with a piece of jade decoration, and this jade was carved with the Confucian saint, and the carving style is the same as this string of Buddhist beads! Full of spirituality, there is a feeling that the carved characters may come to life at any time...... Now that I think about it, the material of that decorative jade plaque is exactly the same as this string of Buddhist beads! ”

"Teacher, are you ...... Can you help me contact this friend of yours, I want to see the guqin ......" Fang Yang asked with a trembling voice.

The importance of this string of Buddhist beads to Fang Yang is self-evident.

The jade pendant that Old Man Han left for Fang Yang and the string of Buddhist beads in front of him obviously had the same provenance, and Fang Yang had already experienced the magic of these two things. Now the jade pendant has mysteriously disappeared, and Fang Yang's research on the Buddha beads has never progressed.

So at first glance, when he heard that there was something that was very likely to be consistent with the origin of the jade pendant and the Buddha beads, Fang Yang was suddenly in a mood, and he couldn't wait to take it over now and study it carefully.

If it's possible, you'll have to get it anyway!

If Master Bai Yan's memory had not been bad, then that guqin might have been a good collector's item in someone else's hands, but Fang Yang would have had endless benefits.

Master Bai Yan smiled and nodded, and said:

"Let me get in touch! But it's been two years, and it's hard to say whether the guqin is still in his hands, don't worry, I'll help you ask first. ”

He could see that his little disciple was in an urgent mood at this time, so he didn't say anything more, turned around and took out a notebook from the drawer and began to look through it.

"Thank you, teacher!" Fang Yang hurriedly said.

Like many old-school artists, Master Shiraiwa has a very retro lifestyle. He had never used a mobile phone, and there was only a very old-fashioned telephone in this house, if it weren't for the convenience of his disciples to contact him, maybe Master Bai Yan might not even have installed this kind of landline.

Some of my friends' phone numbers were also copied down by hand and recorded in their notebooks.

This must be an incredible thing in the eyes of some young people today.

Master Bai Yan quickly found the friend's phone, and he smiled at the other party and said:

"Xiao Fangyang, don't worry, the teacher will help you ask."

"Okay, I'm sorry for the teacher." Fang Yang said.

Master Bai Yan took the phone number book and walked into the back room, and the telephone was installed inside.

Fang Yang sat in the hall and waited, he had always been steady this time, he was also a little unable to hold his breath this time, he kept pacing back and forth, his eyes fell on the string of Buddha beads from time to time, and he was also quite looking forward to the guqin that Master Bai Yan said in his heart.

After about ten minutes, Master Bai Yan walked out.

Fang Yang looked at him a little nervously. Master Bai Yan sighed slightly and said:

"Xiao Fangyang, I asked for you, the guqin is no longer in the hands of my friend......"

Fang Yang suddenly felt a huge disappointment, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said:

"It's okay, teacher, I'm sorry for you!"

Master Bai Yan waved his hand and said:

"I asked him in detail, a year ago he used this guqin to exchange a pair of plum vases with a Tibetan friend......

Fang Yang suddenly had a glimmer of hope again, and hurriedly asked:

"Teacher, can this Tibetan friend of his still be contacted?"

"I also know the person he said, and I already called this person directly just now." Master Bai Yan said, "Unfortunately...... This Tibetan friend has been short of money recently, and he is ready to sell a batch of collections, and this guqin is among them. He entrusted the Gartel auction house to auction this batch of collections, and now it is listed on the official website, and the things have also been appraised by Gartel experts and included in the vault, so ...... I'm afraid it's impossible to see it if you want to......"

Once the collection is entrusted to auction, as long as it is appraised by the auction house, the thing will remain in the auction house, and the seller will be responsible for collecting the money in the end, or the thing can only be taken back after the auction, which is also the rule.

Especially for an auction house as large as Gator, the implementation is very strict.

Otherwise, with Master Bai Yan's face, his closed disciple wanted to take a look at this guqin, and the other party would definitely agree without saying a word, and maybe he would personally send it to Fang Yang.

Fang Yang also knew the truth in this, so he naturally understood it very well, he smiled and said:

"It seems like I'm not very lucky. Thank you, teacher! ”

Master Bai Yan smiled and said:

"Xiao Fang Yang, there is another way for you to see that guqin...... I just asked that friend, Jiade is going to auction his guqin with a batch of calligraphy and paintings, and the time is set for the fifth day of the first lunar month. If you're interested, you can go over and see for yourself, as far as I know, there is a close-up tasting session before the auction of such collections. ”

"That's right! How could I not have thought of it! Fang Yang said in surprise, "Teacher, I must go to this auction!" ”

If this guqin really has the same jade ornaments as Buddha beads and jade pendants, even if Fang Yang is bankrupt, he will buy it.

Master Bai Yan said with a smile:

"It's rare to see you so excited, you can't hold anything before you even look at it?"

Fang Yang smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

"Teacher, if the jade ornament on this guqin and the Buddhist beads are from the same person, it is really important to me!"

"I guessed, there aren't many things that Xiao Fang Yang can look at, and you so solemnly asked me to identify this string of Buddha beads, it must be very precious to you." Master Bai Yan stroked his beard and smiled, "So, I have already asked Jiade for two admission tickets, and asked them to apply for a bidding card, and the teacher will accompany you on the fifth day of junior high school!" ”

Fang Yang paused for a moment, and then said movingly:

"Thank you, teacher......"

If Fang Yang wants to participate in the auction, it is not impossible, it is not difficult to get an admission ticket as the young master of the Han family, but he just needs to rely on some relationships.

And if Master Bai Yan wants to do this, it will be even simpler, a phone call will pass, and Jiade's side will definitely do it properly. Master Bai Yan, a Taishan Beidou figure in the art world, is willing to come to the auction in person, and Jia De must be unwanted! This is tantamount to giving them an invisible advertisement.

As for the deposit for bidding cards or something, Jiade will not collect it from Master Baiyan unless his brain is in water. What is the identity of the old man? People can come to the auction because they can afford you, and you are afraid that he will not be able to pay for the things he buys?

Fang Yang was moved that Master Bai Yan was so concerned about his own affairs, he just casually mentioned that he wanted to see this guqin, Master Bai Yan went in to call, and his friend had already exchanged it, so he immediately called that Tibetan friend. Knowing that the thing had entered the auction house, the old man directly asked the auction house for an admission ticket, and thought about everything in front of Fang Yang.

The relationship between the two generations of master and apprentice, the admiration in Fang Yang's heart spontaneously arises.

Master Bai Yan lovingly touched Fang Yang's head and said with a smile:

"Xiao Fangyang, you don't have to be so polite to the teacher, I don't have to say thank you all day long, and I'm not used to listening to it...... By the way, you have to prepare some money these days, I have personally seen the guqin, and the price should not be too cheap. ”

This Fang Yang had already been mentally prepared, he nodded and said:

"I got it, teacher."

Master Bai Yan said again:

"If you don't have enough money, the teacher has a little savings......

"No, no, no!" Fang Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Teacher, I have a lot of money, it's no problem to raise funds!" ”

Master Bai Yan's savings are not much, although he is famous in China and abroad, but he is very principled, never do commercial inscriptions, and rarely sell his works, in addition, he likes to collect, so in fact, he does not save much money.

If even the teacher's last family background had to be used, Fang Yang would rather not have that guqin, which would be uneasy for the rest of his life.

Master Bai Yan knew that Fang Yang's economic situation was good, he just mentioned it casually, and seeing that Fang Yang's attitude was firm, the master didn't mention this matter again.

Fang Yang carefully put away the Buddha beads on the table, with a determined look in his eyes, as long as he was sure that the jade ornaments on this guqin also had the magical effect of Buddha beads and jade pendants, then he would be determined to win! You have to take it at all costs!
