Chapter 3 Buddha Beads
Xu Dong paused for a moment and looked out the window again, the sky is sunny today, the sun is bright outside, how can there be a "ghost fire" in broad daylight?
Looking at the wooden pencil case on the desk again, Xu Dong was surprised to find that the green mist was still there, and he couldn't help but rub his eyes vigorously, and when he opened his eyes and looked again, the green mist was hanging on top of the wooden pencil case, and it seemed to be shaking slightly!
After not finding anything strange and abnormal, Xu Dong stepped forward cautiously and reached out to take the wooden pencil case in his hand, and the green mist actually moved with the movement of the pencil case, but no matter where it moved, the green mist always hung above the pencil case, just like a hat worn by the pencil case!
After trying several times, Xu Dong finally determined that the mist was "worn" by the pen case, remembering that this pen case was brought from his own home, and he saw each other almost day and night, but he never saw that it would have such a wisp of "green mist", what is the reason for this?
It shouldn't be dazzling, Xu Dong went to the mirror in the bathroom to take a look, his eyes were indeed not flowered, and he could see everything else clearly.
But when he looked in the mirror, Xu Dong found something strange, when he looked at the image of the wooden box in the mirror, he couldn't see the green mist, but when he retracted his eyes to look at the object he was holding, he saw the green mist!
It's really weird!
Xu Dong was surprised, and reached out to blow the green mist above the wooden box, but no matter how he stirred it, the mist was always there, and it couldn't be blown away!
Strange, what the hell is going on?
I couldn't figure out what the reason was, Xu Dong groaned, got up and went to look all over the house, but he didn't see anything else with such a strange "mist"!
"Could it be that there's something strange in this wooden pencil case?" Xu Dong thought about it, but it suddenly occurred to him that there was some mechanism hidden in the wooden box? Maybe it's something that hides some "spray color" aerosol mechanism?
I can't help but be curious when I think about it, Xu Dong comprehensively inspected the pen holder up and down, left and right, and the wood grain revealed on the pen holder is similar to that of ordinary wood, and the inside and outside are painted with the same color of light yellow paint, and it doesn't look like an "antique".
The pen holder is very simple, there is no problem with the outside and the barrel, the structure is also very compact, the gap is brushed by the paint, it is almost invisible, whether it is inside and outside, even the small eye with the tip of the needle can not be found, so it is unlikely that there is any "spray" mechanism.
But how did that green mist appear?
It's impossible to have a spray mechanism, but is there anything wrong with the box?
Anyway, it's not a valuable thing, Xu Dong won't feel reluctant, he immediately found a gadget and tapped it gently, and after a few taps, the bottom of the pen holder cracked, Xu Dong put down the wire knife, and then carefully wrenched it with his hand, and the round negative on the bottom was pulled off, like a round cake, just three centimeters thick.
When he spread out on the palm of his hand to observe the round base, Xu Dong was surprised to find that the wisp of green mist actually left the pen holder and moved to the round bottom in his hand!
This discovery made Xu Dong even more sure that there was something strange in the bottom of the pen holder, and the green mist that appeared inexplicably must be related to the strangeness in the pen holder!
There is a clear dividing line on the edge of the round cake-like base, two and a half centimeters at the bottom, and only 0.5 centimeters at the top, which is covered by a thin lid.
Xu Dong took the tip of the knife and gently pried the gap at the dividing line, and this time he didn't use much force to pry it open, and the small lid was opened, and what came into his eyes was a chain of dark brown beads!
At the bottom of this circle is a small "box" with a chain of beads hidden in it.
Xu Dong took out the bead chain and looked at it carefully, and smelled a strong sandalwood fragrance in his nose, which made people feel very comfortable and peaceful!
This bead is similar to the "Buddha beads" worn by monks and masters in TV movies, it is a wooden bead, Xu Dong counted it, and there are a total of eighteen.
Although Xu Dong is not very familiar with the bracelet Buddha beads, but since he was a child, he walked around in his father's pawnshop, and when he heard about it, his eyesight was still not bad, and the lines of these eighteen beads were average, all of them were in one direction, the size was the same, the color was dark and pure, and he smelled Ning Xiang into the spleen, which was definitely a good thing, otherwise how could the person who hid it be so thoughtful?
I don't think my father knows about this string of beads, but I don't know what its value is.
Xu Dong looked at the bottom box on the desk again, there was no green mist on it, and the green mist had already run to the beads in his hand!
It turns out that the appearance of green mist is the reason for this string of beads!
Xu Dong finally figured out the origin of the green mist, but he still couldn't figure out why the beads emitted green mist?
Do you want to go to Niu Xiangdong and ask him to see what he says?
Niu Xiangdong's insight and eyesight are good, maybe he can explain the matter of green mist, in addition, Xu Dong also wants Niu Xiangdong to identify this string of wooden beads hidden in the pen holder, to see how much it is worth, if it can be worth tens of millions, it can at least make his current difficulties much easier, if he wants to count on his aunt's family to help him complete his studies, don't even think about it, maybe the sun rises in the west is easier to achieve than the aunt's family to help him!
I just hope this wooden bead bracelet is valuable, hopefully!
Although he had a thousand yuan on him, Xu Dong was still reluctant to take the bus over, and he knew the shortcut, according to the bus route, he couldn't get there in an hour, if he took the shortcut, he could get there in ten minutes.
When he saw the words "Brother Niu Pawn Shop", Xu Dong's heart was a little warm, and he heard Niu Xiangdong's laughter of "hehehe" at the door, Xu Dong took out the bead chain and said while entering: "Boss Niu, you help me see this hand-cut chain......"
In front of Niu Xiangdong, Xu Dong was very relaxed for no reason, because of trust and favorability, but what Xu Dong didn't expect was that after he entered the store, he found that Niu Xiangdong was not the only one in the store, but three people, in addition to Niu Xiangdong, there were two other people, and what surprised Xu Dong even more was that one of them turned out to be his uncle Zhou Tianqi!
Zhou Tianqi originally had a smile on his face, but suddenly saw Xu Dong appear in front of him, and after being stunned, he immediately asked with a calm face: "Xu Dong, what are you doing here?" ”
Xu Dong's fear of Zhou Tianqi made him so frightened that he didn't know what to say, but another old man Xu Dong didn't know sniffed at the end of his nose, his eyes fell on the beads in Xu Dong's hand, his eyes were stunned, and he stood up with a "whoosh" and came to Xu Dong.
"You...... You...... This is a small-leaved rosewood Buddha bead? ”
Xu Dong is not very familiar with this category, but when he heard the old man say this, it is estimated that this string of beads is still valuable, but he doesn't know what weight he says, and with his uncle Zhou Tianqi present, he is very uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart.
Niu Xiangdong seemed to see Xu Dong's discomfort, and immediately stepped forward with a smile and took Xu Dong's hand and said: "Xiao Xu, come on, come on, sit down and say, I am also acquaintances with your uncle, and today I am drinking tea and chatting for a small business, this one is Long Qiushenglong's senior, but Taishan Beidou in the antique world, well, say hello to Long Lao!" ”
Zhou Tianqi didn't know that Niu Xiangdong knew Xu Dong, and when he greeted Xu Dong so "warmly", he was embarrassed to scold him, so he had to endure it.
After Xu Dong asked Long Qiusheng in fear, "Long Lao is good", he called Zhou Tianqi in a low voice: "Uncle! ”
Zhou Tianqi snorted and was about to ask, but Long Qiusheng stretched out his hand and spoke to Xu Dong: "Little friend, can you show me your string of beads?" ”
"Look!"
How could Xu Dong not agree? hurriedly handed it over, his eyes were aimed at Zhou Tianqi's sharp eyes again, and he suddenly lowered his head in fear.
Niu Xiangdong couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw it in his eyes, but he still couldn't help but speak.
Long Qiusheng had a white beard and white eyebrows, and he felt like a fairy wind and bones, holding the Buddha bead chain and smelling and looking, and after a while, he raised his head and said to Niu Xiangdong: "Little calf, get me a basin of water!" ”
Niu Xiangdong readily agreed, but Xu Dong was very eye-catching, and hurriedly said, "Boss Niu, I'll go fetch water!" ”
didn't wait for Niu Xiangdong to speak, whether to agree or not, Xu Dong quickly walked in, and after entering the door, there was a living room-like room, there were two doors, Xu Dong pushed the door and looked at each other, one was the kitchen, the other was the bedroom, but the bed in the bedroom was empty, obviously no one lived here.
Xu Dong found a plastic basin in the kitchen, put a large basin of water on the hose, and then went to the store in front of him, still guessing in his heart, what does Old Man Long want a basin of water for? Do you wash your hands or your face?
