Chapter 387: Ming Dynasty Vajra
Next to the shantytown is a large thrift market, which has dozens of antique shops, and there are generally more real things in such antique shops, because it is convenient to rely on the thrift market to receive goods. And because it is a first-hand, the price is relatively cheaper. Zhang Fan was naturally interested, and he got into it as soon as he got in. Green Wing has just gained psionic ability, and it is an enhanced version of the kind, so his vision is naturally extraordinary. Seeing that these antique shops were quite bright, I was also very curious to follow in. There are a few shops where the Buddha light is brilliant......
With the ability to see clearly, it is very handy to look at antiques, especially religious items. In the old shops in China, there are more Buddhist supplies in general, just like the shop in front of Zhang Fan, the faΓ§ade is not small, there are several broken stone lions stacked at the door, and some stone carvings, all of which are stone flower platforms and fish tanks in the courtyards of large families in the past. The carving is not bad. Entering the door is a row of carved wooden doors, which look a little like emblem carvings, and there are a few pieces of gold that are faintly visible from the old paintings.
However, Zhang Fan's eyes had already been attracted by the brilliant Buddha light reflected in the depths of the hall. What is it that is so profound? This Buddha's light is so dazzling, it's no worse than the Tsongkhapa like Thangka on the altar at home!
"Oh, it's actually this ......" Zhang Fan felt that his reality shijie began to transfer.
Green Wing smiled: "It seems that the real shijie is indeed related to that shijie, this should be the legendary vajra!" β
I saw that there was a Buddhist shrine in the middle of this antique shop, but it was a portrait of Zhong Kui, with a red robe and black yarn, angry eyes holding a sword, and the painting was very authentic, and it was estimated that it was in the handwriting of a famous artist. However, the light of the Buddha is in a glass shrine on the left hand side of the desk, and a three-edged single-strand vajra is placed horizontally on the bright yellow velvet cushion!
This vajra is about thirty-six centimeters long, the three-edged sharp cone is slender, like a three-edged military thorn on an old-fashioned Chinese rifle, the grip is one hand, and the head is a three-sided portrait of joy, anger and sorrow, the face is simply outlined, and the ancient simple and rough craft characteristics, but it has been blurred by rubbing. The grip is simple and rounded, close to the triangular vertebrae, and there are some Sanskrit and Baoxiang lotus flower and other patterns, but they are not very clear.
The whole device is slender and simple, and the edges and corners have been rubbed rounded. Unlike the modern imitation of the vajra, the shape of the vessel is cumbersome, the process is complicated and cumbersome, it looks like a weapon more than like a magic weapon, and at a glance it is known that it is an antiquity with a wide open door.
Before they got close to this ancient pestle, Zhang Fan and the old armor ring on the fingers of Green Wing were already breathing and emitting colorful light. Of course, only they can see it.
"Sure enough, it's a baby...... Zhang Fan whispered, but he pulled the green wing and turned away, looking around at other antiques.
The owner is a sturdy man in his thirties, with a flat head and small eyes, and wears a pair of shirts, which matches the atmosphere here. greeted Zhang Fan and the two with a smile, and then introduced. After a few words, I knew that Zhang Fan was an expert, so I didn't speak. The price asked by Zhang Fan is also the actual price.
Zhang Fan felt that the grinding was almost over, so he casually asked if the vajra was genuine, and he didn't understand it very well.
"This vajra was received by me from a friend in Tibet, the authentic Tiantie vajra, not to mention the Ming Dynasty!"
"I also believe in Buddhism, and I would love to receive one such thing, a new house. How much silver do you want for this? β
The shopkeeper was a little hesitant, because he didn't handle many such things, and the price was really not easy to set. Of course, it is not expensive when it is collected, and it is only a few thousand larger. But there's not much out of this object. So he shook his head and said, "This is my own offering, not for sale......"
Zhang Fan looked at him and didn't speak, knowing that there was something to follow.
"You'd better look at the rest, that incense burner......"
"Now that you're in the store, are there anything you don't sell? Play with me, forget it, you're not sincere......" After saying hello, Green Wing was about to get up, but was stopped by the shopkeeper: "Hey, you are really." I am also a well-known person in the Shanghai-Nanjing line generation in the circle, and everyone will definitely have dealings in the future. If you really want it, 100,000 ......"
Zhang Fan shook his head and smiled, "You are really a sincere person, this kind of goods can only be collected for a few thousand yuan." Even if I really went to Tibet, plus the carriage and horse fare, it was not more than 10,000. How dare you make an offer. Besides, it's hard to say whether it's the real thing, and this kind of metal device is the easiest to imitate...... Even if it's true, it's not as expensive as it gets......"
"It's the first time I've dealt with this kind of goods, and I originally kept it for fun......," the shopkeeper also felt that he had opened it high, "There used to be a Hong Kong businessman who offered this price......
"Interesting? Everyone is in the circle, and what stories do they hear? One price, this vajra, I want 10,000. I just saw a piece of green jade wall and those old seals, you can count them together. β
When the shopkeeper heard this, he quickly shook his head, "That's not good, this is equivalent to giving you the capital......"
"You should make a friend to me with this pestle, and make a little bit of money for the others, don't you!" Zhang Fan pretended to be impatient, and Green Wing also muttered beside him at the right time, as if the young couple who didn't know anything complained to each other, "Forget it, you just like these rags, I think it's the same worthless, hurry up, and catch the high-speed rail." It's going to be too late, the subway in this S city is very crowded......" After speaking, he hurriedly pulled Zhang Fan to leave.
"Hey, what do you know about a woman...... Zhang Fan can also act, but he seems to be in a hurry, and urges the shopkeeper: "Say, everyone, be refreshed, we really have to hurry." Otherwise, I'm going to come back......"
Finally, there was a business of tens of thousands of yuan, and I was able to wait for the next time, and the shopkeeper didn't have time to press the computer, so he hurriedly quoted a price, "Twenty-five thousand, everyone has made a friend......
"Just kidding, your green jade wall is a little bigger than the Ping An buckle, where is it worth so much? The price is 20,000 yuan, and I didn't bring a lot of cash, so you can swipe the card. Zhang Fan urged.
"It's not okay to swipe the card, can you add more? ...... "The shopkeeper was also a little anxious about urging him, and he felt that it was a bit too much for a small jade wall to sell so high, and he didn't figure out that there were vajra and other things.
Zhang Fan took out two handfuls of banknotes from his bag and slapped them on the table, "This is 20,000 yuan, the bank came out to buy and open the envelope, I don't believe you can count it." After speaking, he directly took the green jade wall and a few old seals, "Is there a box?" β
The shopkeeper was unpacking and counting the money, and hurriedly agreed: "Some ......" put down the money in his hand and helped Zhang Fan find the box, Zhang Fan also prayed in front of the Buddha shrine, then opened the treasure shrine, took the vajra, and let the store pack the box together.
When Zhang Fan and the others left, the store carefully calculated and found that they had lost money, and the vajra should be sold for 20,000 yuan!
"I'm not good at selling antiques, it's okay to buy goods......" Zhang Fan and Green Wing were in a restaurant, blowing while eating, and received this vajra, Zhang Fan was in a good mood.
"This vajra was used as a weapon in ancient times, an armor-piercing cone, very powerful! Moreover, the three-edged vertebrae, piercing into the body, forms a wound that is not easy to heal, and will cause excessive bleeding and death, which is very ferocious. The three-edged military spur on the rifle in the scene is a model of this. Except for the grip, it looks pretty much the same. The colorful Buddha light on the vajra is in harmony with Zhang Fan's breathing.
Zhang Fan couldn't put it down, played with the vajra, made a few false stabbing movements, and obviously felt that the weight was very good, "This is God sending weapons to me, a scavenger guardian!" β
"Look, you're ......so beautiful," Green Wing was happy for him.
"If I had this weapon in the hospital last time, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The metropolis is lit up at night, and when you look down from the sky, the city during the day is like a boil born of nature, but at night it is a rag that shines through, in short, it is never harmonious.
The area of the Bund Exhibition Hall is empty and secluded, and three agile but sneaky figures sneak in the shadows of huge buildings. The first lean mature young man bypassed the probe's monitoring area and went under a hidden staircase. Pushed a small aluminum door, but the door did not move.
"Damn, who locked this door, it's usually unlocked." Xingfa muttered depressedly, "Usually we sneak out of here for the night shift......
"Don't say it's useless, can you go in?" Greenwing asked.
"Can ......" Xingfa looked left and right, took out a wire from his trouser pocket, inserted it into the lock hole, and after a while, he heard a "click", and the aluminum alloy door opened in response, "This ordinary lock can still be difficult to get my ......"
The three of them entered the small room, passed through a low hallway, opened another small door, and reached the outer corridor of the exhibition hall. Zhang Fan was about to enter the corridor, but was stopped by Xingfa, "There is a probe outside...... After speaking, he looked at the time, "Wait for another five minutes, wait for the probe to turn over, it's fine." "Sure enough, it's a thief who can't be guarded against.
Entering the corridor, the three of them hid in a stairwell, Xingfa said: "You can enter the various exhibition halls below, what are you going to see in that exhibition hall?" β
"I don't know......" Zhang Fan shook his head.
"Then it's a little more troublesome, I have to find the exhibition halls one by one. There are also probes in the exhibition hall, but they all have dead ends, and I hope that the antique is not in the monitoring area of the probe. Xingfa scratched his head, a little excited. He was worried that it would be easy to find, so he didn't have anything to do. As he spoke, he took out a simple map of several exhibition halls, and also marked the obstacles and probe monitoring areas. This guy did his homework all afternoon!
"Let's look for it separately, you see, it's something like this big iron tile, with red letters on it. It's called 'Danshu Iron Deed'! Zhang Fan and Green Wing circulated it and memorized the map. Gestured a shape and explained the star.
"Meaningless! Look at it! Xingfa pounced on the stairs with an excited cat, grabbed the guardrail, and burrowed into an exhibition hall.
Zhang Fan Luyi looked at each other and smiled, shook his head, and walked towards their respective target pavilions against the wall.
"It's all ceramic, no." Zhang Fan looked outside the door from a distance and knew that this pavilion was wrong. Immediately move on to the next one. "Ancient silk fabrics, miscellaneous pieces, may be ......" What disappointed Zhang Fan was that he took a lot of effort to avoid probe monitoring and walked around the exhibition hall, but found nothing. Green Wing also texted at this time, but didn't find out.
The two met at the top of the staircase, and at this time Xingfa actually sent a letter, and he found it, in the boutique exhibition hall on the second floor. But luckily, there is basically no dead angle in the monitoring here, and the iron tile is facing the monitoring probe!
The two of them went up the fire staircase to the second floor, Xingfa had been waiting for a long time, and said happily: "Hey, I'm lucky, I saw it as soon as I entered." Be sure to buy a lottery ticket when you go out! β
"The probe is shining, how can we go up and take pictures?" Zhang Fan was a little embarrassed.
"There is a way, but it is a little dangerous, if you can move a little faster......" Xingfa said softly.
Zhang Fanxi said: "Say it quickly, what should I do?" β
"I'll go downstairs and turn off the main switch, and the monitoring will be turned off, but it's dark here. You have to get things done before the officer on duty pushes the switch. The ...... who is very close to the duty room "Xingfa is a little nervous, it seems that the duty room may be near the power switch.
"I'll go with him." Green Wing took out his digital camera and said to Zhang Fan, "You move quickly." β
Zhang Fan nodded, and Green Wing quickly walked downstairs to the duty room with Xingfa......
Not long after, Zhang Fan heard the faint sound of something breaking downstairs, and then someone was running in the corridor. I was nervous about whether the two Green Wings were exposed, and at this time, the lights in the exhibition hall, which were not very bright, suddenly dimmed. Zhang Fan saw that the flashing red LED light on the probe was also dimmed, and hurriedly turned on a pocket LED flashlight used to look at antiques and ran towards the exhibition hall. I soon found the display case of the 'Danshu Iron Coupon'. There was a random shot in the display case, and the flash flashed again and again, and it was estimated that even the movement of the second floor could be seen on the street a hundred meters away.
Zhang Fan checked the photos taken and felt that they were correct. Hurriedly put away the camera and was about to run downstairs. But I heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs, which seemed to have alarmed the security guards, and I went upstairs to check!
Zhang Fan didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly ran to another exhibition hall. The light of the pocket flashlight is dim for a hall, but I can vaguely see that there are two large tables in this exhibition hall, on which there is a long pile of things, I don't know what they are. Zhang Fan hurriedly extinguished the flashlight and drilled under the table. Hold the wide eaves of the table with both hands, and hang under the table in the air, and you can't see it if you don't get in.
I could only hear the voices of the two security guards upstairs and the sound of their footsteps, which sounded very nervous. After inspecting the exhibition hall of the 'Danshu Iron Coupon' for a while, I came to this exhibition hall. However, Zhang Fan's worries were unnecessary, the two security guards, the flashlights only shone outside the door, but they did not come in. He seems to be terrified of entering this exhibition hall.
"Forget it, let's go down. It should be the people outside who are dazzled......" The security guard's voice trembled a little.
"Hmm...... It can't be the hell......" The other voice was a little creepy.
"Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense...... Let's go......" The two security guards ran downstairs faster than they came, as if they were worried that something would chase them.
Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the security guard go downstairs. He got out from under the table, shone his pocket LED flashlight, and walked out the door. At this moment, he did not see a dead gray figure sitting up on the large table behind him......
