Chapter 508: Shadow Bone

It's just that after Chu Chen was excited and excited, he suddenly remembered a question, and he couldn't help frowning.

It is important to know that there are a total of four Buddha finger bone relics found now, only one of which is a real body relic, and the other three are all accessories made to protect the real body relics, which is the so-called "shadow bone".

2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni passed away under the sora tree on the outskirts of Najie City, and obtained a total of 84,000 real body relics after cremation, of which 19 were introduced to Middle Earth, and under the funding of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, 19 pagodas were set up in the country, among which the earliest Ashoka Temple, which is now the Famen Temple, there are 4 Buddha finger bone relics.

Because in history, there have been four emperors who have launched the incident of destroying Buddha and destroying Buddha, known as "three martial arts and one sect" in history, so most of the Buddha bone relics in our country were also destroyed at that time. However, in order to avoid the damage of the Buddha's finger bone relics, many monks and nuns made "shadow bone" relics to protect the real body relics.

Chu Chen now thinks about it, the relics in the Buddhist shrine are obviously different from the real body relics, not to mention anything else, in terms of color, the real body relics should be slightly yellow, but the relics in the Buddhist shrine appear relatively white, and they look obviously jade.

In terms of value, if it is a real body relic, it is not at all comparable to thousands or even nearly 100 million money, and it is obvious that the relics in the Buddha shrine should be the "shadow bone" relics.

Some friends may say, since this thing is fake, how can it have such a high value?

In fact, the Buddhist community believes that fake is not false. The shadow bone is the shadow of the spirit bone, which should appear and appear, to prove the immortality of the spirit bone. The Buddhist community believes. The relationship between the shadow bone and the spirit bone is indistinguishable, and Mr. Zhao Puchu once praised: "The shadow bone is neither one nor different." It is like the three rivers reflected in January. ”

Therefore, from the perspective of Buddhism, the shadow bone is also a sacred bone, and it is also the true body relics of the Buddha, and its value is certainly not low. Of course, in the eyes of Buddhists, relics are very sacred things, and even shadow bone relics cannot be measured in terms of money.

Although it is a pity that the middle finger bone relics in the Buddha shrine are not real body relics, they are even shadow bone relics. It was already a surprise for Chu Chen, such a precious thing, of course, could not be missed.

Chu Chen called the boss over, and then asked, "Boss, I want to invite this Medicine Buddha back, may I ask the boss if you can cut your love?" ”

The boss had looked at Chu Chen before, and saw that although he was dressed and looked ordinary, it was handmade, coupled with Chu Chen's temperament and previous conversations. He nodded and said, "Yes, count it as 2.2 million HKD, what do you think, sir?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "It's a little higher, can it be lowered?" ”

"If you really want it, sir. Two million 1 million, it can't be lowered anymore! ”

"Boss, this is the price at the auction. The market price is definitely not comparable, and I have no shortage of them. One million 8,000,000, okay. Please help me wrap it up, if it doesn't work, then it can only be regarded as my lack of relationship with this Buddha statue! ”

The boss pondered for a moment, feeling that Chu Chen's price was okay, so he nodded and said, "Then I'll help you wrap it up!" ”

Just as the boss was packing for Chu Chen, Wu Ke took Chu Chen aside, pointed to the two incense burners in front of him, and asked, "Ah Chen, I want to buy an incense burner for my grandmother, which one do you say is better?" ”

Wu can choose two incense burners, namely a copper burner and a blue and white porcelain incense burner.

Among them, the blue and white porcelain furnace is simple and stocky, with a round mouth, a cylindrical belly and a slight drum, three legs, and a thick carcass. The body is painted with blue and white eight immortal character patterns, and the demeanor is different. The painting is neat and the layers are clear. The blue and white color is plain and elegant, and the glaze is smooth. At the bottom is the six-character regular script of "Jiajing Year of the Ming Dynasty".

Another incense burner is the imitation Xuande elephant ear copper incense burner in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, this copper incense burner is light and undecorated, the color is mellow yellow, the pulp is pure and thick, and the workmanship is exquisite. The walls of the furnace are thick and heavy, and the hand is heavy. The whole body is sprinkled with gold, and the fine gold flakes are shaped like snowflakes, covering the furnace body. At the bottom of the book, there is a regular script of "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty".

The two copper furnaces can be said to have their own merits, Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "These two incense burners are good, you can simply buy them all?" ”

Wu Ke glanced at him and said, "Can my grandmother use two incense burners?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Ask the price first, if it's cheap, the other one will be regarded as an investment!" ”

"Alright then!" Wu Ke thought about it, this idea was really good, so he nodded in agreement.

The price of the incense burner was not expensive, and the two of them added up to a total of 15,000 HKD, so Wu Ke bought them all.

After swiping the credit card to pay, Chu Chen asked the others, "Don't you fancy anything?" ”

"Nope!" Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiaoyue shook their heads together.

Josie smiled wryly, "I've got a few things in my sights, but I can't afford them all!" ”

Hearing her say this, Wu Ke whispered in her ear, "Do you want me to lend you some?" ”

"No need! You don't have much pocket money, do you? Josie said.

"That was before, last time I picked up a leak with Achen, and I made millions!"

Wu Ke said with a smile, of course, she said this because she didn't want to surprise Josie too much, if Josie knew that the diamond necklace she bought was worth hundreds of millions, she might be shocked!

Even so, you Josie had a look of disbelief on her face and said, "What you said is true?" ”

"Is that fake?" Wu Ke smiled and said.

Josie said very enviously: "Ellie, I don't know what you are talking about if you are lucky now!" ”

"Then you should also find a boyfriend like Achen!" Wu Ke said triumphantly.

"Humph! Don't be complacent! I will definitely find someone better than Brother Chu to be my boyfriend in the future! ”

Having said that, she also understood that if she wanted to find someone better than Chu Chen, it would definitely be difficult, and the odds were even lower than the jackpot of the lottery.

Wu Ke said with a smile: "Then I wish you success first!" By the way, do you want me to lend you some money? ”

Josie shook her head and said, "Forget it, the days of owing money are not what I like." ”

"Whatever you want! ……”

Next, everyone visited a few more antique shops, and finally everyone bought what they liked, and because Chu Chen was there, everything could be guaranteed to be genuine, and the price was more appropriate.

Walking out of an antique shop specializing in jade, Chu Chen suddenly found that Liu Sizhe's face was a little unpleasant, so he asked a little strangely: "What's the matter, won't you feel unwell?" ”

"Where!" Liu Sizhe smiled bitterly and pointed to a stall in front of him and said, "Oh, I was there yesterday!" ”

Chu Chen said speechlessly: "How many people don't pay attention to playing antiques, don't they go to that store if they don't patronize it?" This is just self-deception! Let's go over and have a look, maybe we can pick up a big leak! ”

With that, he took the lead and walked straight to the stall.

Seeing this, Liu Sizhe smiled bitterly and shook his head, he understood the reason, but if he went to patronize it again, he felt a little unbearable on his face, but now that Chu Chen said so, he didn't look like a man anymore, so he exhaled lightly and walked over with his head held high.

Just like Liu Sizhe said before, this stall mainly sells silver products, and a small amount of some gold products, as for the authenticity, just like Wang Xiaoyue said, what good things can be placed on the stall, Chu Chen glanced at it with his ability, and basically ninety percent of the things are fakes.

However, among these fakes, the larger ones contain very little silver from the results given by the ability, and the smaller ones are made of real materials, so that for the boss, some risks can also be avoided.

Just like the three silver coins that Liu Sizhe bought, the ticket issued by the boss at that time was written in silver coins, but even if he knew that the thing was a fake, because the material was not fake, Liu Sizhe couldn't calculate it even if he wanted to.

But what surprised Chu Chen was that among the remaining genuine products, there were actually a few items with more than 100,000 yuan, and there was no need to guess such a result, he also knew that the boss must have lost his eyes.

The first thing Chu Chen paid attention to was a pair of silver plates placed in the corner of the stall very casually, which imitated the appearance of flowers, but they were not completely rigid, but cast according to the actual function and decorative effect of the utensils.

For example, the chrysanthemum plate in Chu Chen's hand is in the shape of a chrysanthemum as a whole, with a flower core in the center, and two chrysanthemum petals radiating from the upper and lower sides, which looks like a chrysanthemum that blooms proudly, full of vitality.

Another plum blossom plate, then is a five-petal flower-shaped plate, a plum stalk in the center of the plate is swaying and entwining, and a crescent moon hanging high in the air looks at each other, the momentum is upright, sparse and reasonable, and the view can not help but make people feel a quiet and calm momentum.

This pair of silver plates is light and delicate, beautiful and elegant, judging from the style and details everywhere, it should be the silverware of the Song Dynasty Undoubtedly, and the workmanship is meticulous, people can't help but love it, Chu Chen estimates that the value of this pair of silver plates should be about 300,000.

Since the value of this pair of silver plates is so high, why did the boss put it aside so casually?

The reason for this, Chu Chen felt that it was because the pair of silver plates were covered with patina.

Some friends may think it is strange, since it is silverware, how can the surface be covered with patina?

In fact, this situation is very common when ancient gold and silver artifacts are unearthed, especially silver products.

The reason for this is that the gold and silver artifacts were exposed to other corroded copper before they were excavated, such as burial with the bronze artifacts, and were contaminated with patina. Another reason is that the texture of most ancient silverware was a copper alloy containing a certain component, and when the copper is oxidized and corroded, a patina covering layer is formed on the silverware.

In most cases like this, rust and scale removal can be done to restore the original appearance of the object.

Like the pair of silver plates that Chu Chen has seen, although there is patina, it can be restored to its original appearance as long as it is cleaned. Of course, it's okay if you don't clean it, it's just not that beautiful, and it doesn't change the fact that the pair is genuine. (To be continued......)
