The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 16: Chunhua Yuanbao carries a Buddha statue to provide money

   How could Zhang Nan prepare such professional outdoor products? Because he used to work as a tutor in the 90s, commonly known as a tomb thief!

real. In the previous life, Qionghai Province was a big real estate speculator in 1992, and even the state units in Yanxian County went to join in the fun, and Zhang Nan was also sent there. Looking at huge amounts of real gold and silver every day, he turned out to be as enthusiastic as countless people scouring for gold in Qionghai. He took out all the funds, sold the house, resigned and started a partnership with others to set up a company on his own!

   Make money, lose money, and then lose everything!

   The partner, who had become nothing like him, came from his home in Qinxi Province. In despair, he came up with the idea of ​​being able to reflexively: He has the ancestral technique of touching the golden captain, and he is going to be a tutor, and invite Zhang Nan to join the group. In this way, Zhang Nan really did the work of a tutor for two years, and he has always been a partnership between the two, and he will never find a third person.

   It wasn't until the partner was crushed to death by the collapsed hole during a tomb robbery that he became a funeral for the ancients, and Zhang Nan, who was terrified, returned to his hometown and started as a small merchant who went to the village to collect antiques. After that, he used antiques as his business, with ups and downs, and after the age of 40 he even became a small well-known antique dealer and collector.

   Although he had made up his mind after rebirth, he would not do the grave robbery and break the ground, and it would hurt the yin and virtue, and he often walked by the river, where can he not wet his shoes? Either something happened when the tomb was robbed, or when the stolen goods were sold, they would be caught. Relying on the plug-in of his own prophetic foresight, he can always live a life in a chic and unrestrained manner.

   However, there are a few exceptions in the "codebook" that record the places that need to be grounded. They are relatively safe, and the temptation is too great!

   In the spring of 1988, the Yanjiao Temple of Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province was overhauled. The migrant workers unearthed at least thousands of "Chunhua Yuanbao" carrying Buddha statues under the foundation of the tower. The money for these Buddha statues should be the money that Zhao Kuangyi, the second emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, had buried here. The amount is staggering!

After a looting, more than half of the people ran away. In the end, the Public Security Bureau and the cultural management department still recovered a lot, but this number is interesting: some statistics say 1,345, some say more than 1,800, and there are even data that say the final 2875 pieces were confiscated.

   However, part of the lost Buddha statue money has been smuggled out, and soon appeared on the Hong Kong and foreign auction markets, and it is estimated that there are still private collectors who have been collected and kept secret.

   How many Buddha statues were unearthed under the tower base of Yanjiao Temple? In the end, only the gods know!

  ...

   There is still a stone slab under the thin soil, a layer of money contains six to seven hundred coins, and a canvas bag weighs at least ten catties!

   After carefully cleaning the surrounding area, after confirming that there was no omission, Zhang Nan started to work on the slate below!

Zhang Nan, who has seen the specific records of the unearthed incident, knows: Initially, after the public security and cultural protection personnel collected and cleared more than 300 dug up of money, they evacuated happily and ecstatically, hunting down the few who ran away. A migrant worker went.

As a result, the dozens of migrant workers left behind continued to work, and dug at least more than 1,000 dollars from under the stone slab that was thought to be the base slab of the tower—this time the people almost finished running, and a large number of people were separated. It was like talking about it. Like a farce story!

   After a few minutes, the stone slab with a thickness of more than 10 cm was smashed open. After cleaning up the rubble, a square box embedded in the soil is exposed below.

"Silver. There is no hollow ground palace made of slabs all around. No wonder those people thought that the upper slab was the bottom plate." After wiping it with gloves, the slightly squashed lid of the box reveals the silver that has been dimmed after nearly a thousand years. True colors.

   cleared the surrounding dirt, trying to take the box out, almost flashed back!

   At least a hundred jins!

   "It's so heavy, how much money is there in it?"

   Fortunately, young and strong, it took great effort to finally move the silver box out of the foundation pit. Simply drove the jeep over, pocketed the silver box, stuffed it in front of the passenger seat, and put the first canvas bag in the car.

   can't rest yet, check the foundation pit again to make sure there is nothing missing.

   It took more than an hour to throw away all the broken stone slabs that had been excavated and shoveled into the foundation pit with ordinary rocks and hard-frozen soil. This is inferior to the construction team coming to work the next year. The guys who didn’t know anything at all would never notice that this place was excavated not long ago, and would help themselves with the final "destruction and destruction" work for free. .

   checked the condition of the tire chains on the wheels, moved all the equipment they brought into the jeep, and checked again without omission.

   The night outside the car is full of wind and snow, and all traces of tonight will be swept away.

   Fortunately, he has good driving skills. There is a brother-in-law who has been a car soldier on the Sichuan-Tibet line and taught himself to drive on ice and snow in mountainous areas. After adventurously driving the car down the middle platform overnight, more than ten centimeters of snow has accumulated under the mountain.

   The few residential areas passing by were not even visible, and they were all staying at home-just now the thermometer showed that the top of the middle stage was minus 18 degrees!

   drove back to the coal mine guesthouse, stopped the car, carried the mountaineering bag stuffed into the silver box, and pretended not to be heavy and had to pass by the front desk attendant. As a result, because it was too late, the attendant had gone to sleep in the lounge.

   Put things into the room, and then ran the jeep, then moved everything back.

Because it is the best room in the guest house, it has a separate bathroom, and there is hot water in the faucet. Coal is the most indispensable thing in the coal mine. The boiler in the boiler room is stuffed with smoldering coal at night. .

   didn't rush to check the baby, but took a quick hot bath, cold, sweating and fatigue, if you drag it down, you will get sick. This is the experience that Gan Tufuzi learned at that time.

   Put all sweaty underwear, gloves, and jackets in the bathtub and wash them roughly. Even the boots are brushed clean, hung on the room radiator, and they can be dried tomorrow.

   really couldn't stand it, and slept on the bed.

   The alarm clock went off early in the morning, exactly 6 o'clock.

   got up, picked up the canvas bag and walked into the bathroom. After cleaning and removing the floating mud, exquisite "Chunhua Yuanbao back Buddha statue offering money" appeared in his hands.

   "It's so beautiful!" You can tell that these gold offerings are 2.4 cm in diameter, 0.12 cm thick, 0.5 cm in diameter, 0.2 cm in the back of the Buddha statue, 96% color, and the weight is about 12 grams.

The two Buddha statues on the back of the "Chunhua Yuanbao" money are lifelike and lifelike. On the right is the Guanyin Bodhisattva sitting on a lotus seat with a knot, and on the left is a benevolent boy standing on the base of the lotus petals with his hands folded slightly to the right. It is a picture of a boy worshipping Guantong.

  The Buddha statues on each piece of money are slightly different from each other. Because the craftsmanship is "first casting and then carving", they are all carved by the sculptor twice, so there are subtle differences in the Buddha statues and characters. Even the weight is different. Zhang Nan knows that the heaviest one can reach 13.4 grams.

   600 pieces in a pocket!

   took the silver box in again and wiped it clean with a hot towel. It can be judged that the box wall of the silver box is very thick, with various Buddhist figures and patterns embossed around and on the top cover, which are beautiful and unusual.
