Chapter 11 Guanyin Manifestation
Yang Lao thought that his eyes were dazzled, rubbed some cloudy eyes, solemnly brought his tortoiseshell reading glasses, and looked at the white porcelain Guanyin in Liu Sheng's hand again without change, wearing a crown, there is a small Buddha on the crown, the forehead is broad, the eyes are slightly closed, dignified and kind, the temperament is elegant, the right leg is propped up, the left leg is drooping, the right arm is placed on the right knee, the demeanor is beautiful, wearing a robe, the lower body is wearing a long skirt, the chest and skirt are decorated with beads, the wrist is wearing an arm, the whole body is very decorated, the clothes are fluttering, just like Wu with the wind, It is a typical statue of the Water Moon Goddess of Mercy.
However, Yang Lao noticed that it seems that the fetal quality of Guanyin is somewhat different, and the Dehua white porcelain rich in white porcelain sculptures is far away, but it is similar to a special white porcelain unearthed from Famen Temple, because it is only a fragment, there is no physical research, and the substances contained in it are somewhat special, the country has been secret, only a few people understand, Yang Lao is one of the insiders.
"Hehe, Lao Yang is dumbfounded." At this time, Professor Kong had long lost his former majesty, and he was completely like an old naughty boy, looking at Yang Lao's appearance, he couldn't help but feel proud.
Yang Lao glared at him, and his attention was focused on the statue of Guanyin, and he immediately discovered the special fetal quality of this Water Moon Guanyin, which is different from the color of Dehua white porcelain with the reputation of "ivory white", crystal white, but it is white and blue, there is a feeling of crystal clear, and it is different from the special white porcelain fragments found in Famen Temple that are full of jade.
"What's going on? It shouldn't be. When Yang Lao saw the seal left by He Chaozong, his brows tightened, and he immediately stumped the old man who had studied porcelain all his life.
As we all know, He Chaozong is a Dehua person, very good at porcelain, can be said to be a grandmaster-level figure in the history of porcelain sculpture, the representative works have "Dharma Crossing the Sea Statue" and so on, in addition to the statue of the person, but also the delicate and elegant incense pot, small bottle and other supplies that can be enjoyed. However, most of them are "ivory white" from Dehua kilns, and porcelain sculptures from other kilns are very rare.
"Ha Luha, there are also times when you old man Yang is embarrassed on porcelain." Professor Kong had a full meal of ice cream in the summer, and he was cool from head to foot, and he had long lost his majesty, and if it weren't for Liu Sheng here, I am afraid he would have danced a long time ago.
"Hmph, 5,000 years of Chinese civilization, how many beautiful porcelains have been lost, how can I know everything." The pension face was a little unsightly, but he didn't expect that he would be embarrassed in front of the Kong madman one day.
"Hmph, I happen to have a record of this Water Moon Guanyin." Professor Kong rummaged out of nowhere a quaint thread-bound book, the blue cover of which was already dilapidated, but he could faintly recognize the three words "Menghualu".
"In the past, He Lang was the one who molded Guanyin, the water and the moon were also ingenious, and there was the ability to work with ghosts, and the sun really burned the five-color auspicious light, if the Guanyin Linshi..." Professor Kong read in a low voice, which reminded Liu Sheng of Lu Xun's Kong Yiji, who was teaching a few naughty boys several ways to write the word 'hui'.
"Alright, alright, crazy Kong, don't drop your bookbag here, show me." Yang Lao anxiously rubbed his thin hands, but he didn't dare to reach out and snatch it, "Menghualu" is a unique book inherited from the Ming Dynasty, because of the age is very fragile, he doesn't dare to take the risk of destroying his old friend's treasure.
"Here you go, don't break my book." Professor Kong was a rare serious book, and handed the book to Yang Lao with difficulty, his expression seemed to be constipated, and he hesitantly stretched it back three times, and finally couldn't hold back Yang Lao's fierce expression, so he handed it over slowly.
"It's a pity, it's a pity, it's good, it's good." Yang Lao took the book, and after a while, he was fascinated, and when he arrived at the wonderful place, he couldn't help but shoot the case, and his eyes burned and shining.
"Old man Yang, you take it easy, this is the only book of the Ming Dynasty." Professor Kong watched Old Yang dance with his hands, and his heart was beating for a while, and he hurriedly stopped him from continuing to watch.
"Hehe, I'm used to it on a whim." Yang Lao was a little embarrassed, hurriedly found a step for himself, pointed to the Water Moon Guanyin and said, "Lao Kong's "Menghualu" clearly records that the Water Moon Guanyin has a colorless auspicious light appearance, why don't you have it." ”
"Liu Sheng." Professor Kong ignored Yang Lao and directly called Liu Sheng, who was hiding aside to watch the excitement.
Liu Sheng didn't talk nonsense, he closed the curtains with ease, and the house suddenly became dim, as if night was falling, and he took out a bucket from the kitchen after doing everything, and carefully put the water moon Guanyin into the bucket, and the clear water immediately flooded the statue of Guanyin.
At this time, Professor Kong lit the black Boshan stove placed on the desk, and with the light smoke rising, the small study room was soon filled with a tranquil fragrance, making people feel as if they had arrived at the meditation room of the Buddha and asking for the Buddha.
"Good guy, Lao Kong, you really have a lot of money, this is the best Hainan Qinan agarwood, and it is an old material that has been placed for hundreds of years." Yang Lao took a deep breath, raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but quip.
"Hmph." Professor Kong snorted comfortably, noncommittal to Elder Yang's statement.
Gradually, the Guanyin in the water began to change, the clothes on the body began to stretch out under the calm water surface, dancing, the whole statue suddenly became smart, the kind and dignified Guanyin Master seemed to be in front of him, the cold porcelain sculpture became flesh and blood, a five-color light wheel the size of a fence bucket rose from the back of Guanyin's head, vaguely the ears seemed to remember the distant conch Qingyin, the eight protectors of the gods were separated, and they listened carefully but found nothing.
"What's going on?" Old Yang's brows furrowed even deeper, and Professor Kong and Liu Sheng's preparations did not seem to have an inevitable connection in his eyes.
"I don't know what to do, and there is no record in this book, but Li Shangyin's 'Poor night is half empty, don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods' gave me some inspiration, and I have the scene you see." Professor Kong said with a sigh, such a magical scene, but the magic technique has not been passed down, and he can only peek at the scales and claws in the long river of history.
"If it is the fifteenth day of the month, if this Water Moon Guanyin is placed under the moonlight and agarwood is lit, without being immersed in water, the back of Guanyin's head will naturally show the light wheel behind his head, and with the breeze, you can also hear the clear sound of the conch, as if he is doing a water and land puja, and at the same time, you can also see the eight heavenly dragon protectors who carry the Dharma with him." Professor Kong said that he seemed to be intoxicated with beautiful memories.
"Oh, it's so amazing, it seems that I can't say I want to eat and drink with you on the fifteenth day." Yang Lao was immediately aroused.
"You old Yangtou, am I missing a bite of your food?" Professor Kong scolded with a smile.
When the second elder spoke, Liu Sheng fished up the water moon Guanyin, and the five-color light wheel behind his head disappeared immediately, he used a hair dryer to carefully dry the water stains, and put them back on the desk, after all, these antiques are not suitable for soaking in water for a long time, otherwise they will not regret dying if they are damaged.
"By the way, Liu Sheng, you go and see Wanyi's girl, don't patronize the old man who accompanies the two of us." Professor Kong seemed to have thought of something, and said to Liu Sheng somewhat ambiguously.
"Teacher, then I'll go see Wanyi." Liu Sheng was extremely embarrassed by Professor Kong's ambiguous eyes, and casually found a reason to escape from the study, and he didn't even bother to say hello to Yang Lao.
"Congratulations, Lao Kong, when will you be able to drink Wanyi's girl's happy wine." Yang Lao was relieved for a while, Kong Wanyi was grown up by him, no different from his own children, how unhappy he could find such a beautiful home.
"It should be Tongxi." Professor Kong did not refute, but bowed his hand to Yang Lao.
"Where does the joy come from?"
"I thought about letting Liu Sheng worship you as a teacher and learn antique appreciation." Professor Kong said straight to the point that he had good intentions for his future son-in-law. "That Water Moon Guanyin was bought by Liu Sheng."
"Ha Luha, that's really a joy." Elder Yang laughed heartily.
Liu Sheng, who was in Kong Wanyi's boudoir, never expected that Professor Kong had inadvertently paved a broad road for him, clearing the way for his future treasure museum that shocked the world, and at this time he was still immersed in gentle incense.
