The masterpiece handed down from generation to generation in the Southern Song Dynasty was slowly opened with the help of the island woman and May. This is a scroll on silk, ink and color, about 76 cm in width and 176 cm in length.

Avalokitesvara, also known as Avalokitesvara, is one of the most familiar Buddhist figures to us. The Avalokitesvara in front of us is different from the common Avalokitesvara statues with one head and two hands. There are 26 Bodhisattva heads and one Buddha head on her head, and there are a thousand of them.

Each hand has an eye in the middle of the palm, so it is called the Thousand-Hand Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. It is an important example of the esoteric Avalokitesvara.

This Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes stands on a lotus platform and has thirty-two faces, each with three eyes and a crown. The thirty-two faces are divided into five layers, with a Buddha face on top.

There are eighteen hands in front of the body, and there are 982 hands in the lotus petal-shaped backlight, a total of one thousand hands. There is a eye on the palm of each hand, or it is a seal, or it is a law enforcement object, or it is a Buddha.

Spectacular.

On the lotus petal-shaped backlight, Buddhas gather together, with Sakyamuni Buddha in the center, and the Buddhas of the ten directions on the left and right.

Directly below there are four heavenly kings carrying lotus pedestals, and two Bodhisattvas on the left and right. On the left is the Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva holding a sword in one hand. On the right is the Moonlight Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva holding a diamond bell in one hand. At the bottom are the Dharma protectors, the Eight Dragons, each on the left and right.

Four gods.

Guanyin Bodhisattva wears the Buddha's crown on her head, has cyanotic hair hanging down her shoulders, and has a mustache above and below her lips. She still looks like a man. But her facial features are beautiful, showing her feminine characteristics. The whole picture is colorful, decorated with necklaces and a seven-treasure lotus platform.

They are all painted very carefully, and the lines of the characters' clothes are soft and smooth. It is a very rare fine Buddhist painting.

Li Mo looked at it for a while, then with a sweep of his strange pupils, the entire picture was illuminated by a light orange halo, which then turned into layers of halo, making the Thousand-Hands and Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara exude an even more mysterious color.

This is an authentic painting from the late Southern Song Dynasty. The only pity is that I don’t know which master’s hand it was.

Moreover, he seemed to have some impression of "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes" in his mind, not because he had seen the original work somewhere, but in the directory.

Li Mo remained calm and said with a hint of disdain: "Whether this painting is an authentic work from the Southern Song Dynasty has yet to be confirmed, but people have a different face, and I doubt you will come up with a fake to embarrass me. Tell me, this is

How much is the painting worth?”

"Mr. Qin, we obtained this painting through special channels. The purchase price was US$15 million, but if it were put at auction, it would easily exceed US$20 million."

Regarding the price mentioned by the woman from this island country, Li Mo agreed. If he met a rich man who believed in Buddhism, it would not be impossible to offer him even $30 million. Faith is priceless.

"Do you have any other top-quality antiques? It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. I'm very interested in those antiques."

"Mr. Qin means that we can use antiques as bets?"

"As long as the antiques in your hands have that qualification."

The island country woman saluted Li Mo, returned to the fat man and said a few words to him. The dead fat man named Jem stared at Li Mo in the cage with fierce eyes. He whispered to another rich man for a while, and then walked towards the island country.

The woman nodded.

Fatty Fatty himself brought two paintings over, and then another rich man also supported one. Seeing this scene, Li Mo felt that they must have a lot of good stuff, otherwise they wouldn't use it for gambling.

"Mr. Qin, please take a look at the second ink painting on paper "Lu Yu Cooking Tea" by Zhao Yuan, a Yuan Dynasty painter from China."

Li Mo looked carefully and saw that the distant mountains in this painting are rolling, the nearby mountains are towering, and the mountains and rivers are quiet. The layout is full of mountains and rivers, and the water is surrounded by zigzag shapes, creating a momentum that goes back and forth.

Near the wide water, there is a thatched house built next to the water, with lush vegetation on all sides. A winding path leads to a secluded path extending out of the picture, as if this place is hidden in the mountains and forests. There is a person in the pavilion, sitting on the couch with his knees propped up, it should be Lu Yu, a boy was sitting on one side holding a stove making tea.

The author wrote the title "Picture of Lu Yu Cooking Tea" with five words, and also wrote a poem: Whose hut is in the mountains? They sit there and chant until the sun sets. The common people don't come and the birds disperse, and they call the boys to fetch water to make new tea.

The poem with the inscription "Peeping Spots" in the middle is: Sleeping on the mountain fortress, thirsty and longing, calling for children to cut tea and wash away the withered intestines. The soft dust falls and grinds the dragon's ball green, the living water turns the crab's eye yellow. The thunder in the ears has a soft rhyme, and the nose Smell the fragrance carefully in the breeze. A cup of water will make your eyes wide open, and you will be full of fun in Tiaoxi Cloud Water Village.

In the upper right corner of the picture, there is an inscription written by Emperor Qianlong: Mr. Gu Bian's thatched cottage is idle, and the school children are cooking tea in the clouds. There is no floating smoke boat in front of the stream, and Hengbi's habitat is far away.

Zhao Zhao and Zhao Shanchang have two seals. From right to left there are many vaguely identifiable collection seals, such as Zijing, Molin Secret Wan, Xiang Zijing Family Collection, Qianlong Chenhan, Wuyizhai, Wancui Hua and other collection seals.

When Li Mo saw the end, his eyes swept away. This "Picture of Lu Yu Cooking Tea" is not only an authentic work by the late Yuan Dynasty painter Zhao Yuan, but also an authentic work that has been passed down in an orderly manner. Even Emperor Qianlong even inscribed it with his own pen, which shows its historical value and market value.

This damn fat man actually took out two famous masterpieces in his hand, and he didn’t know where he bought them.

Li Mo thought for a few times, and suddenly his face became extremely ugly. He finally remembered why he felt a little familiar with the masterpiece "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes", not only this one, but also the second one "Lu Yu Cooking Tea" by Zhao Yuan of the Yuan Dynasty "Picture" also seemed to be seen somewhere. Two famous paintings handed down from ancient times appeared together, making the fuzzy memory in his mind clear.

Both paintings once appeared on the list of the Wandao Palace Museum. Back then, he won a battle with the Wandao Museum. There were these two paintings in the list of antique cultural relics given there, and they were called by the people there. The treasure of the town hall.

But now those two famous paintings have appeared on the black market in the United States, in the hands of a rich American man.

Only then did Li Mo understand what the woman from the island country meant before by "obtaining it through special channels". Could it be that there was a big thief at the Bay Island Museum and colluded with people outside?

Even such a masterpiece that has been handed down from generation to generation has been exiled to the United States. I can’t imagine if there are more national treasures that have been taken out by thieves in the dark.

These two paintings must be brought back, and the matter must be contacted immediately and confirmed by the country.

"Mr. Qin, what do you think of this painting?"

The expression on Li Mo's face was a bit strange, so the woman from the island country couldn't help but ask.

"I can't see through it."

Li Mo shook his head, not knowing clearly meant to tell the other party that he could not confirm whether it was an authentic work by the Yuan Dynasty painter Zhao Yuan.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry. No one who comes here for gambling dares to come with a fake. The market price of this painting is 35 million US dollars. If there is no objection, let's continue to look at the third painting?"

The real market value of these two paintings is much higher than the price she quoted, which only shows that the price they paid when they obtained these two paintings through special channels was not as high as they imagined.

After you find those giant rats, you must let them taste what peanuts taste like.

"You don't have to read the third one. Just use these three paintings and add 200 million US dollars as a bet. I will fight you with all my life to see if I am lucky or you are just unlucky."

"Mr. Qin, you absolutely must not do this."

Yuyue was so frightened that her face looked extremely ugly. She was crazy. She was so crazy. "Sting the head, Xingkong, take Mr. Qin and leave immediately."

Dashan did not dare to let Li Mo continue his gamble. These people were all desperadoes. If the three of them fought with the intention of fighting to the death, then even if Li Mo's life was not in danger, he would be left with a lifelong disability if he was not careful.

The risk is too great and no one can afford it.
