Chapter 103: Lost Civilization
Meng Qianqian taught Qin Feng a lot of the lost scripts of Xia Huaguo and other ancient countries, and gave Qin Feng a more detailed impression of other civilizations and their characteristics.
Comparing the Buddha statue that had shed several layers of skin with the Buddha statue that had not molted its skin before, Qin Feng found that the difference was simply worlds apart.
The Arhat shape of the previous Buddha statue was relatively normal.
For that style of statue, Qin Feng felt that he seemed to be a little familiar.
According to the contents taught by the mother, the characteristic age of this Buddha statue before the molting should be the Qin Dynasty in the history of Xia Huaguo, or the bronze style of the pre-Qin Dynasty.
Such a bronze statue in the pre-Qin style is simply invaluable.
This is also another reason why Qin Feng was eager to get his hands on the bronze statue of the old Ling clan when he saw it.
Each of these bronze statues is rare in the world, not to mention this unique shape and small Buddha statue of the pre-Qin bronzes.
The Ling clan didn't know the goods, but Qin Feng recognized it.
But Qin Feng himself also had a doubt.
That is, according to the knowledge of history that Qin Feng learned from his mother, it seems that in the Qin Dynasty or the pre-Qin period, there was no Buddha.
But the Buddha statue before molting is indeed the bronze style of the pre-Qin Dynasty, and Qin Feng feels that he is indeed not wrong about this.
The style is the pre-Qin style, but the shape is the shape of the Buddha that only appeared in later generations, which makes Qin Feng himself almost confused.
Qin Feng also has another feeling now, that is, the shape of the bronze Buddha statue before the molt, as if it is to cover up the three-inch Buddha statue with thousands of hands and feet after the molt.
But what is the purpose of this?
Qin Feng felt that he seemed to be a little confused.
This speculation made Qin Feng also understand that the strange Buddha statue in his hand now must be worth more than the bronze object before the molt.
Otherwise, shouldn't these skilled craftsmen in the Qin Dynasty or the pre-Qin period waste their efforts to do such a thankless job?
It's just that these craftsmen in the pre-Qin period are trying to hide something?
Does this strangely shaped Buddha statue in his hand hide a secret that the ancients did not want future generations to know?
......
Qin Feng carefully looked at the appearance of the Buddha statue in his hand, and the doubts in his heart became deeper and deeper.
The Buddha carved from this Buddha statue is very evil, which is indeed very rare.
As far as Qin Feng knew, even the Asura who focused on killing in Buddhism, or the Asura King who was unparalleled in combat power, was not as ugly as the shape of the Buddha in front of him.
It's just that when he thought of the Asura King, Qin Feng suddenly felt that the shape of the Buddha in front of him after the molt seemed to be a little similar to the Asura King.
Because the shape of the Asura King is that there are nine hundred and ninety hands and eight legs.
Although the shape of the Asura King and this Buddha is still very different.
And this statue of the Buddha is still much more evil than the Asura King in Buddhist legends, which makes people shudder in it.
But Qin Feng finally felt that he seemed to have seen some secrets in the shape of this Buddha statue.
As for whether this was the case, Qin Feng felt that he had to make careful observations in the future.
Qin Feng once again carefully looked at this Buddha statue with a rather evil shape, and he found that the casting style of this Buddha statue, compared with the previous bronze Buddha, was rough and delicate, wild and detail-oriented, and the casting process and technique seemed to be more high-end than the original bronze Buddha statue.
With such a casting style, Qin Feng didn't seem to have the slightest impression after searching his intestines and scraping his belly.
So the age of this Buddha statue is more confusing.
Qin Feng was also guessing, could it be that this gilded Buddha statue was really something from the late Qin Dynasty?
But how is this possible?
Because Qin Feng knew that the casting technique of this Buddha statue before molting was definitely the characteristics and casting techniques of pre-Qin style bronzes.
And the casting method of this bronze in the pre-Qin Dynasty has been completely lost after the Qin Dynasty.
Therefore, it is impossible that in the Qin Dynasty or the pre-Qin period, the craftsmen of that time made a bronze object to cover up an object that only appeared in later generations.
This is obviously a fallacy and contrary to common sense.
And the bronze statue in Qin Feng's hand now has an obvious difference from the bronzes of the Qin Dynasty or the pre-Qin period, that is, the gilded material of this bronze statue is indeed very rare.
Gilt is a very precious material, much more valuable than ordinary bronzes.
And after Qin Feng took a closer look, he was also secretly weighing, that is, this kind of gilded material was actually heavy to this extent, and it didn't look like it.
This Buddha statue, which is now only three inches high, is so heavy that it feels like it is still heavy compared to the same volume of gold, which is obviously a quality that gilt does not have.
It's just that Qin Feng doesn't have a tool that can measure the weight in his hand now, he just weighs it with his bare hands, and he doesn't know if it's accurate?
However, there is one thing that Qin Feng can confirm that the material of the Buddha statue with thousands of hands and feet may be more valuable than he imagined...
The many mysteries of this Buddha statue made Qin Feng himself feel a little helpless for a while.
Qin Feng decided that when he went back today, he would show this Buddha statue to his mother.
Her mother, Meng Qianqian, may currently have more means to detect the material of this Buddha statue than Qin Feng himself.
Qin Feng already knew very well about the dazzling so-called chemistry research equipment collected by his mother.
No matter what, Qin Feng felt that the Buddha statue in his hand that revealed his true face might be a great thing.
The content it carries may be a civilization that has not been recorded in history.
Maybe it's a lost civilization, this is also a conclusion that Qin Feng came to after studying this Buddha statue for a long time.
Therefore, the value of this Buddha statue may be much higher than Qin Feng's original estimate.
But Qin Feng didn't care much about the value of this bronze statue.
What he cares about the most is the small characters on the Buddha statue before molting and the marks on the acupuncture points.
But these contents, after this Buddha statue revealed its true face, completely disappeared, which made Qin Feng himself can't help but keep picking his teeth.
