Country Feng Shui master in the city

Soon the middle-aged man in the cap and Boss Sun left Liushui Pavilion together. Chen Luo found a seat and sat down. Last time shopkeeper Pei spent money to buy the official hat buckle in his hand, so Chen Luo wanted to take care of him this time. For business, I specially ordered a pot of expensive tea.

"Shopkeeper Pei, bring me a pot of 888 yuan Biluochun."

"A pot of good Biluochun."

Shopkeeper Pei smiled and asked the waiter to give an order, and then came up to chat and said, "Xiao Chen, what good things have I brought here today, let the old man have a look." There was a sense of mystery about this kid.

"By chance, I got a piece of Xinjiang Hetian jade. You always help me to see how the market is going?" Chen Luo took the jade out of his pocket.

Taking the jade from Chen Luo's hand, shopkeeper Pei put it on the palm of his hand and observed it carefully. He flicked the jade lightly with his fingers, and there was a crisp sound. Generally, good jade will have this sound, and poor jade will be as hard as a stone. Then he took out a flashlight to take a few photos, and said after a while: "The jade is white, without spots, transparent, and the sound is crisp, which is in line with the characteristics of Hetian jade. With this weight, the market price is estimated to be around 200 million. Jade surface What is the origin of the engraved 'Thousands of Years'? If there is a origin, it may not be worth 200 million, but it should be higher."

"This jade was originally a pair. As for the origin, I really don't know."

Because the engraving is completely modern, experts can tell it at a glance. Even if Chen Luo can make up a story, no one will believe him.

"Return you!" Shopkeeper Pei returned the jade to Chen Luo.At this time, the waiter brought tea, and Chen Luo invited Shopkeeper Pei to sit down and have a drink. Shopkeeper Pei sat down and chatted with Chen Luo when he had nothing to do. After a while, a middle-aged man in blue came in outside the door, Shopkeeper Pei Greeted warmly: "Old Qin, come and have a seat."

The man named Lao Qin has known shopkeeper Pei for some years, but he didn't refuse. He walked over and sat down next to shopkeeper Pei. He glanced at Chen Luo from the corner of his eyes, then looked at shopkeeper Pei and said, "Old Pei." , why do you have the leisure to sit and drink tea with the young man today, this is not like your style."

"Don't underestimate him, this kid is amazing." Shopkeeper Pei picked up the teapot and poured Lao Qin a cup of tea, and asked with concern, "How is your wife's illness?"

"Don't mention it, I've seen a lot of Chinese and Western medicine, but it's not good. I've been in arrears with the hospital's medical bills for a few days. Didn't I want to come here and sell those three gold Buddha coins?" Lao Qin said helplessly.

As soon as Chen Luo heard about the Buddha coins, he immediately became interested, and asked: "When is the Buddha coin, can Mr. Qin show me?"

"This, this..." Lao Qin was a little confused.

"Go to the box upstairs." Shopkeeper Pei knew at a glance that the thing in Lao Qin's hand might have come from the wrong place, so he got up and said.

The group of people turned around and came to a private room on the second floor. Shopkeeper Pei said, "Old Qin, what are you hiding so mysteriously?"

Lao Qin just smiled, took out a piece of yellow cloth from his pocket, opened it and there was a circular Buddha coin inside.Chen Luo took one and put it in his hand, and immediately felt a burst of Buddha's spirit rushing towards his face and said: "Good thing, it's actually a Song Dynasty coin." He has studied Buddhism with Bai Jing for more than ten years in Hanshan Temple. The utensils are quite sensitive.

The face of this coin reads "Chunhua Yuanbao" in four characters, with a diameter of 2 cm, a thickness of 4 cm, a weight of 0 grams, and a fineness of 5. There are two Buddha statues standing on the left and sitting on the right on the back.The pattern is raised by 12 cm, the facial features are clearly visible, the body is lifelike, and there is a Buddha light screen behind the seated Buddha.There are lotus seats and auspicious clouds under the image.The seated image is Avalokitesvara, and the standing image is holding Ruyi in his hands as Sancai Boy (also known as palm pack).The eyes, nose and mouth of the statue are engraved after casting.Those with one, two, three, four or no number on the top of the back image are interpreted as the serial number of Chunhua.

"Can you see the origin of this coin?" Lao Qin was a little surprised.

"Qian Wen is "Chunhua Yuanbao" is the running script of Song Taizong Zhenxing cursive three-body Qian Wenzhong. Song Taizong is the first emperor in Chinese history who personally wrote Qian Wen, and opened the first imperial book of money. "Chunhua Yuanbao" is He designed it carefully, cast it in a special furnace, and gave money to the Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai. According to legend, Song Taizong Zhao Jiong was born in Yingtianyuan, Xijing, and he was imprinted with Buddhist thoughts since he was a child. "Blessed by Bodhisattva, on the fifth day of the fifth month, you can win without fighting. "Sure enough, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Liu Jiyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty descended to the Song Dynasty. Since then, the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in China has ended. Song Taizong believed that the Buddha in Wutai Mountain appeared, so he spent tens of millions to build Taiping Xingguo Temple, cast big bells, and make gold and copper. Manjushri Bodhisattva, ordered to build ten temples."

"Song Taizong made offering money for the Buddhist temple in Mount Wutai, which has no historical records and is extremely meticulous. Why?"

"To put it bluntly, this is Song Taizong's attempt to avoid suspicion. I heard from Master Baijing of Hanshan Temple that Buddhism promotes the donation of offering money, which can accumulate immeasurable merits and virtues for the donor. In terms of merit and virtue, they cannot be used interchangeably, and the materials used by Emperor Taizong to cast money were extracted from the left treasury. He did not want to violate the rules. Therefore, after the money was cast, he sent someone to secretly bury it to accumulate his own merits. Because of this, he fell into a deep sleep for thousands of years. Only the "Chunhua Yuanbao" can be preserved intact."

At the end of the 80s, there was a sensation of Buddhist coins appearing in Wutai Mountain. The cultural management personnel took immediate measures and confiscated a total of 347 coins.At that time, I thought that no more money would be unearthed. After registering, I left the scene.The next day, when cleaning the base of the tower, people were stunned. A large amount of money came into view, followed by chaos and looting. After some workers grabbed the money, they quickly left the scene and fled.When the cultural management personnel arrived, there was no one there, and the construction site was in a mess.

"There is no delay in rescuing cultural relics!" The public security department issued an emergency order to form a special case team code-named "07" and quickly launched a detection operation.Later, more than 10 criminal suspects including Yuan Zhongfu and Hu Zhanbing were arrested, and 1688 pieces of money were recovered, but some money was still lost.

Chen Luo explained the origin of the Buddhist coins clearly like an endorsement. The shopkeeper Pei and Lao Qin were a little dazed when they heard it. Chen Luo is so old that he knows so much about Buddhist culture.

Chen Luodao: "Where did Mr. Qin get these three Buddha coins?"

"A few years ago I traveled to Japan and bought it from collectors there. One Buddha coin cost 40 RMB, and the three together cost 120 million. If it weren't for my wife's illness and lack of medical expenses, I would really I don't want to sell these three gold Buddha coins." Lao Qin said.

"I also like Buddhist culture very much, and I am very interested in these three Buddhist coins. I wonder how much Mr. Qin is willing to sell?" Chen Luo said.

"150 million, what do you think?" Old Qin said.

But Chen Luo said, "It's too expensive."
