Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 49 Buddhist Relic Beeswax Bracelet
Two strings of bracelets, one big and one small.

The large string had 12 beads, was golden yellow, opaque, and very light in texture. It looked a lot like plastic, but Wu Yuansheng knew it was definitely not plastic.

Because plastics don't have such a good sheen, they look like gemstones.

After thinking for a while, he finally remembered what the material of this bracelet was, it was beeswax.

The so-called beeswax is also a type of amber, but it is older than amber.

"Thousand-year-old amber is the universal wax" means that beeswax takes much longer to form.

Generally speaking, beeswax is more expensive than amber.

After looking around, there was no one around, and the landlady didn't know where she was busy, so he threw the bracelet into his purse.

When selecting things at the recycling bin, it is very common to see good things and put them in your own pocket while others are not paying attention.

Those who choose old books are not surprised to see old coins or stamps and other valuable notes inside the old books, which they can keep in their wallets at any time.

The things that people sell here as garbage will eventually end up being recycled, damaged and disappearing forever if they are not discovered.

Go treasure hunting in places like recycling bins and old book collection points to find some valuable things. From a certain perspective, it is also a kind of protection of past culture.

After putting the beeswax bracelets away, he looked at the smaller bracelets again.

This bracelet contains 13 beads. The beads are of different shapes, sizes and colors, mostly round or oval.

The material of the beads is a bit like agate but not agate, let alone jade, glaze, or glass.

As for what material it was made of, he really couldn't remember it at the moment.

He looked carefully again, and suddenly, he felt that these beads were very similar to the relics he had seen while scrolling through short videos on his mobile phone before he was reborn.

"Could this bead string be a relic bracelet?" Wu Yuansheng thought with some excitement.

If it were a relic, it would be a good thing to ward off evil spirits.

I often mess around, and when I come into contact with the antique industry, I will always encounter some unexplainable things.

Although he has not experienced this himself, he has heard others talk about it.

It’s always good to have something like this with you!

After looking around and at the landlady's side, he still found no one, so he quietly put the bracelet into his purse.

The Buddhist relics, beeswax bracelets, and the scriptures he saw must have come here from the home of a Buddhist believer.

These two things and these sutras most likely belong to the man on the refuge certificate in the "Surarangama Sutra" that I just saw.

Since he encountered them, it means that he is destined to these items.

He picked up these scriptures next to each other and put them into a black convenience bag.

When picking up these books, he would also open them and read them.

When he opened a copy of "The Buddha's Principles of Ten Good Deeds", he found a handwritten note with the following motto from "Zeng Guang Xian Wen": The Ten Poor and the Ten Rich:

For example, among the ten poor, there is lazy poverty: the family owns land but does not engage in farming.Easily poor: no expense spared.Completely poor: I love spending money, twisting wine cups, etc.

The ten rich are those who are diligent and thrifty: working hard to make the way.Be prudent and wealthy: always prevent fire and theft from managing your portal.To be kind and wealthy: to accumulate virtue and be protected by heaven, etc.

The words on the note were written with a fine brush and were very well written.

Putting the note back into the scripture, he picked up other scriptures.

There are many scriptures, maybe fifty or sixty, but the black convenience bag can still contain them.

These Buddhist scriptures are available for free. He has seen books of this type when he visited some temples. Pilgrims can take them home at any time if they want.

The so-called "Buddha saves predestined people", if you don't really understand and come into contact with it, you won't realize some of the real situation.

These Buddhist scriptures were taken here and sold as scrap paper, but the money was still calculated.If he buys it now, he still has to spend money.

Although he knows that there is no room for appreciation in the value of these books, and it is impossible to sell them unless they are given away, he will definitely buy them anyway.

The scriptures all have the effect of warding off evil spirits. It is always good for him to buy them back and put them in a rental house or other places in the future. He can also read them when he has nothing to do.

I once heard some friends discuss Buddhism specifically. They said that Buddhism is enlightenment and wisdom.

He believed that he could understand a lot of truths when he watched it.

After picking up these books, he tried the weight and found that they weighed almost ten kilograms.There was still room in the big black convenience bag, so he put all the "paper ingots" wrapped in newspapers inside.

The paper ingot with the newspaper weighs almost a pound.

Considering that he would need newspapers when he went out to hunt for treasure in the future, he picked up those newspapers as well.

I tried the weight of the newspaper and found it was probably a few pounds heavier.

I took a look at the landlady's side and found that someone was coming to sell books again.

He planned to weigh all the scriptures and newspapers, put them on the tricycle, and then come back to select books.

After the book seller over there came over and poured out the books, Wu Yuansheng took the things he had just found and walked to the landlady.

After asking the landlady to weigh it and calculate the price, he paid for the book.

These paper items weighed a total of 18.5 kilograms. The boss lady said that the selected items were priced at two yuan and a half kilogram.

These total 46 yuan.

After paying the money, he put all these things in the box on the tricycle and locked it up.

When putting things away, he also put the two strings of bracelets in his purse into the box.

After doing this, he went to choose books again.

"Are you also in the used book business?"

Wu Yuansheng had just selected a few comic books from the newly dumped old books. A man who looked to be in his 50s walked up to the pile of old books and said to him.

This person probably thought so after seeing him choose a comic book or other comic book.

He glanced at the person who asked him. He looked familiar. He seemed to have seen him at a stall in the antique market, but they had not interacted with him before.

"That's right! But I don't specialize in playing with paper products like old books. I just do this incidentally."

From the question this person just asked, "Are you also in the used book business?" It can be heard that this person is in the used book business.

"If you don't just play with old books, then what do you do? You look pretty cool!" the man said again.

While he was talking, he also began to choose books from the pile.

"I play with some antiques and other items, as well as recent and valuable things!"

"Playing antiques has a bright future! In the past two years, more and more people have become interested in collecting and buying things.

However, I know a lot of people who engage in antiques in this city, and I have never met you before. Are you new to the industry or have you been out of town before? "

"I'm out of town, but I've been back for a while. I just don't go out often. I started to be active again after the recent demolition!"

He said casually, just like Yan Shun asked him if he had ever played detection, he could only say that he had played elsewhere.

When this person asked him for details, there was no need for him to tell the truth.

They chatted and each selected the books they needed.

During the chat, he also found out that this man's surname was Kang, and like Lao Jia, he specialized in playing with paper objects.

He collects and sells old books, calligraphy and paintings, old newspapers, New Year pictures, propaganda posters, stamps, cigarette labels, wine labels, grain and oil stamps and other paper items.

Lao Kang said that he basically goes to some recycling bins every day to select items such as old books.

Not long after, he saw that Lao Kang had selected a lot of old books and paper products that he thought were valuable.

Even the unused bundles of letter paper he saw first, he took out.

"Lao Kang, if you buy so much unused stationery, will it be easy to sell? No one uses this to write letters now."

Seeing him picking up all the letters, Wu Yuansheng said to him.

"I own a stationery store. I can just sell these directly in the store. You see, these stationery papers weigh dozens of kilograms. Let me tell you, come today, I can make hundreds of dollars with just this little stationery paper. ”

Lao Kang said to him as if he didn't know what he was talking about.

"Really? That's pretty good!"
