Chapter 178: The Tomb of the Living

In front of the three-meter-high gilded statue, Zeng Li, He Zi'an, and Friday stood side by side.

At this time, the eyes of the three of them fell on the stone carving of the rosette on which the idol was stepping on it.

"The Hanshui Tianzhu Temple, which was built at the end of the Tang Dynasty, served Wu Zetian at first, and was later destroyed and changed into a Bodhisattva Temple, and the locals called Zetian Bodhisattva. After enjoying the incense for 500 years, it was destroyed in the war in the Ming and Qing dynasties alternately, and when it was rebuilt, because the White Lotus Sect had stayed, the local chief official presided over the change back to worship Wu Zetian, and restored the old name of the Tianzhu Temple, and all kinds of objects related to the Bodhisattva were discarded. ”

He Zi'an explained: "The full name of the lotus is 'Tianzhu Sends Son to Blessing Bodhisattva Lotus'. ”

Friday was speechless.

Zeng Li complained: "What a strange name." ”

"If you don't like it, you can sell it to me." He Zi'an said.

"Eat a trench and grow wise, you don't talk about the price now." Zeng Li smiled sincerely for the first time since the two met.

He Zi'an squinted his eyes and said: "It's so obscene to laugh!" I don't give things names to pick up slack. ”

"You don't have a chance this time." Zeng Li is confident.

The rosette was identified by her own uncle, Xu Yue, the personal disciple of her grandfather Xu Laowei, although she didn't say the name, but the price was set at three thousand yuan.

"Xu Yue's ability is good, although he already has the charm of the old monster, but he still needs more exercise." He Zi'an said.

"Hehe, the top ten masters in the country, the appearance price is five figures, can you casually evaluate it as a coastal villager? It's still an old-timer tone! Zeng Li's eyes are deep, her little uncle is her idol, and whoever dares to speak ill is the enemy.

He Zi'an said calmly: "I bought the rosette for 5,000, and I invite you to drink tea to extinguish the fire." ”

"No, I'm going to move to the bedroom for meditation." Zeng Li didn't have a good airway.

"Is your ass made of iron? Don't be afraid to panic. ”

"Won't I have a cushion?" Zeng Li blushed and scolded angrily.

"It's good if you're happy." He Zi'an waved his hand, turned his gaze back to the front to scan the statue, and said: "Xu Jujin regards himself as a statue of the white jade god again, and he also takes the Tianzhu Xingguan Lotus Base, plus the dragon and phoenix pillar of the Guandi Temple, this is to go to heaven." ”

"No more nonsense, don't blame me for being rude." Zeng Li roared.

He Zi'an hurriedly covered his right ear and said, "I mean, he will build a grave for himself when he is alive." ”

"We don't just have a jade mine under our feet, it's a grave?" Exclaimed Friday.

Zeng Li looked confused and said: "Impossible, the grave of the ancestors is in Jinyun Mountain, and our whole family has gone back to worship since the Qingming Festival." ”

"It seems that Old Monster Xu is not very at ease with you, and asked you to preside over the relocation of the temple without telling the details." He Zi'an is strange and strange.

Zeng Li perked up and said, "Don't try to sow discord, my Xu family is as solid as a rock." ”

He Zi'an spread his hands and continued: "Stone carved lotus, is it sold for five thousand and five?" ”

"Having said it... I can sell it to you, but you'll have to help me identify an object. Zeng Li suddenly spoke, with a sad smile.

He Zi'an didn't care, nodded and said, "Okay." ”

"You go back to the tent first and wait, I'll have the things moved." Zeng Li said.

He Zi'an didn't talk nonsense, turned around and left.

Friday followed behind, leaving the temple area before asking, "I feel that the girl is not well-intentioned, why should the shopkeeper agree?" ”

"She just wants to test my bottom and make some extra money for herself by the way, so don't worry." He Zi'an said while drinking mineral water.

Friday believed his judgment and turned to ask, "Is the rosette stone carving really from the Tianzhu Temple period?" ”

"Yes, and there is a person who likes it very much, and it can be sold at a good price in the future, but I can't estimate the specific amount, so I didn't say it in the temple." He Zi'an said.

Friday's expression was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the shopkeeper was learning the lesson of Long Zhu, but he didn't expect it to be such a reason.

"Don't look so strange. We have to be content, and we have earned 100,000 yuan today. So the purpose of my entry into the temple was really just to find out what was going on, and I didn't want to pick up the leaks. He Zi'an patiently explained.

Friday is believed.

The two returned to the awning, and it didn't take long for Zeng Li to come over, and there was a worker behind him pushing a cart with a stone carving of a rosette.

Under the awning, the workers stabilized the cart and left.

"Wait a minute." Zeng Li got into the tent.

He Zi'an jumped on the scooter and sat down cross-legged on the rosette.

Friday morning, accustomed to his out-of-character behavior, sat down and glanced at the rosette to try to identify it.

A minute later, Zeng Li came out with a round box in her hand, and when she saw He Zi'an meditating on the lotus, her brows jumped wildly and complained: "Are you planning to become a monk?" ”

He Zi'an squinted his eyes and replied, "My believer, what do you want? ”

"Can you be serious?" Zeng Li couldn't stand He Zi'an for a long time.

"I want to give you some guidance, if you don't appreciate it, even if you say bad things." He Zi'an said.

Zeng Li walked to the cart and raised her foot to threaten: "Believe it or not, I kicked it over." ”

He Zi'an opened his eyes, put down his right hand of Lianhua, and said, "Bring the box." ”

Zeng Li handed over the box with a cold face.

The round wooden box, eight centimeters high and ten centimeters in diameter, can be easily grasped by the palm, the surface is brushed with black red paint, the top is painted by gold patterns of phoenix birds, and there is a 'five' Han.

"The Chen family, a carpenter in the south of the Yangtze River in the Wanli Dynasty, made a total of twelve Fengyi jewelry boxes, and now there are less than eight in existence, and the number is five, and it is not a problem to sell one or two thousand." He Zi'an carried the box with his right hand, and stroked the golden-veined phoenix bird with his left hand and said.

Zeng Li stood at the back of the board car and said, "I have some ability." ”

He Zi'an opened the lid silently.

The inside of the box was stuffed with red cloth, which was bundled in circles, not in a state of scattered stuffing.

He picked it up carefully, and then handed the box to Zeng Li.

At this time, Friday got up curiously and approached, and said, "Not to mention the ten layers, it seems to be fragile." ”

"You're not bored." He Zi'an was a little unhappy and stopped.

Zeng Li said with a dark face: "Don't make excuses to add extra weight halfway." ”

"Miss Zeng misunderstood, my shopkeeper has this character, the more unknown the more excited I am." Said Friday.

Zeng Li shifted her gaze to Friday and said, "According to what you mean, that is, you want to take the opportunity to ask for a price?" ”

Friday Silence.

Alas~

He Zi'an sighed and pinched the cloth to untie it.

As the circle is unraveled, the lump is visibly reduced to the naked eye.

As said on Friday, the red cloth wrapped in a piece of jade, but the shape was a little special, which made He Zi'an interested again.

"Do you need the basics from me?" Zeng Li said intimately.

He Zi'an carried the jade piece in his palm, lowered his head and said, "Don't, I have to rely on my own ability." ”

Zeng Li heard the words with a look of control, and quickly retracted after being noticed by Friday.

The jade block is irregular and biased towards the diamond shape, the color is white and brown, the texture is smooth and has a faint smell.

He Zi'an lowered his head and sniffed closer, and said, "It feels like it is pulled out of the body of the creature, and the fragrance emitted for too long." ”

Friday was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Is there any fragrance that comes out of the creature's body?" ”
