"After appraising all the things, I said to Jin Weiqiu: 'I can't tell how much this thing is worth, but I like it very much. I don't need the appraisal fee this time. Give it to me.' That batch of things
It's worth at least tens of millions, and even at the price of black goods, it can be sold for more than five million. Jin Weiqiu was in a good mood at the time, so he gave it to me."
"What is it?" Zhu Yun couldn't help but ask.
"a lamp."
"a lamp?"
"It's a lamp, a green lotus and nine dragon lamp."
Zhu Huai had a happy expression on his face, as if thinking about that lamp was a very comfortable thing.
"I didn't see its origin at the time. After I took it back and wiped off the rust, I discovered that the spots on the lamp body were all precious stones. The seven lotus leaves are the lamp body, and are surrounded by nine dragons and eighteen eyes, a total of eighteen
Ruby, sapphire. It is better to say lapis lazuli than bronze. It looks green-yellow when viewed under the sun during the day, and green-red when viewed under the light at night. If you rub the lotus leaf, the luminous pearl will emit light, and you can read at night. One day, I
Pour in a little lamp oil and ignite it, ignite it..."
"What's wrong?" This time, Zhu Tong couldn't help it anymore; "Senior brother, what happened after it was lit?"
"After it is lit, the lamp body becomes translucent, all eighteen gems are shining, and the nine dragons seem to come to life, flying among the lotus flowers. What's even stranger, it can sing. At first I thought it was from outside.
Sound, I saw that the doors and windows were closed tightly, and I realized that I had got a treasure. The green lotus and nine dragon lanterns were lit for ten minutes, and the music also played for ten minutes. It sounded like the sound of a flute or a gourd blower.
The sound was also like the sound of monks singing sutras. The sound was so beautiful. Later, every night I would light up lanterns and listen to lantern music. If the weather was good, the music would be more cheerful. When it rained and snowed, the music would be very dull.
"I didn't dare to tell others about this lantern, so I spent half a year admiring it secretly. One day, Jin Chan came. I drank some wine that day, and lit the Green Lotus Nine Dragon Lantern in front of her. A month later,
Jin Weiqiu came to find him and said that he would pay 1 million to buy back the Kowloon lantern. At that time, he had already opened an antique store in Beijing; he said that he would regard the Kowloon lantern as the treasure of the store. We have rules in this industry, and the goods are not good.
Looking back, when I gave it to me, it was worth the appraisal fee of 100,000 yuan. No one knew what the beauty of this green lotus and nine dragon lanterns was, and how much it was worth. Now that I come back to look for it, of course it doesn’t make sense."
"Jin Weiqiu said before leaving that the news about this lamp has leaked out. Sooner or later I won't be able to keep what Qu Laoyi likes. The person Jin Weiqiu mentioned is a very powerful billionaire in the antiques world.
The millionaire, Qu Laoyi is a nickname, his real name is Qu Qing; he is also a famous philanthropist and real estate, film and television investor. However, I didn't take him seriously at the time, Qu Qing was just a wealthy player. But
A month later, he actually came to our door and said he wanted to see the Kowloon Lantern."
"Senior brother didn't show it to him, did he?" Zhu Tong asked.
"Yes, others are afraid of him, Qu Laoyi. We have never dealt with him before, so why should we give him face? Jin Weiqiu introduced that Qu Laoyi was their former acquirer, and there were three bodyguards who followed them. Qu
The old billionaire threw out two suitcases of money and said: There are five million here. I said: It is dangerous to go out with so much money. Boss Qu should be more careful on the way back. He then said: I will give you five million, as long as you let me see it
I took a look at the Kowloon Lantern. I said: We are not familiar with each other, why should I show it to you? He listened to what I said and knew that I would not sell the Kowloon Lantern, so he sat for a while and then left. Before leaving, he said: Mr. Liang wants to do it anytime.
To sell the Kowloon lantern, please send me a letter first."
What happened next was what Zhu Tong had expected. Qu Laoyi first threatened Zhu Huai with a political figure, and then invited people on the stage to investigate; he did not expect that this man named Liang Shan was a famous seven-person gangster in the world.
Senior Brother Pinzhumen, the people in the palace no longer dared to stand up for Qu Laoyi after two visits. People from the Public Security Bureau and the Cultural Relics Bureau found nothing when they came to him. It was not until Zhu Huai's boat capsized in Chongqing that Qu Laoyi
Just showed up again.
"Where is that lamp now? I mean..." Zhu Tong stretched out his hand and pulled off a cherry blossom, picked it up and stuffed it into his mouth, which delayed the subsequent words. However, both Zhu Huai and Zhu Yun knew what he meant.
"The Green Lotus Kowloon Lantern has always been with me. When I arrived in Chongqing, I kept it in a safe in the bank, where it is safe."
Hongfa Temple was silent for a while, with only the mountain breeze swaying the wind chimes under the eaves.
Zhu Huai and Zhu Yun both watched their junior brother strolling in the yard and meditating. So far, they still don’t know why the new leader is so cautious; only Qu Laoyi or a small gang has not put them under the light.
In eyes.
Ten minutes later, Zhu Tong walked into the main hall again: "Senior brother, you are really in trouble. If my guess is correct, the green lotus nine-dragon lantern is the seven-leaf lotus, the sacred weapon of Buddhism."
Zhu Yun and Zhu Huai were so shocked that they didn't know what to say. The Seven-yeed Lotus and the scam set by Zhu Tong contained the shadow of the Seven-yeed Lotus. If the Seven-yeed Lotus is exposed, it means that the scam has been exposed.
"No way, I don't feel there's anything special about this lamp." Zhu Huai actually believed it, but he still wasn't willing to give in. If this thing cannot be seen in the light, it will be like a hot potato. Not only can it not be exchanged for money,
, and still have to worry about it.
"I just asked the master, and he said that the seven-leaf lotus is just a Buddhist holy lamp. The master will come later, and he asked us to be careful. It will be very lively here tonight."
"Who will come?" Zhu Huai and Zhu Yun asked in unison. Zhu Tong seemed to already know the reason before their opponent showed up. However, the two of them were also keen masters of the Zhu Sect, and they did not realize that the crisis was approaching.
"There won't be many people, but they must all be masters. Jiang Xiaoyu or the old monk Kongji should be the ones behind the scenes. The whistle was pushed to the stage, and together with Deng Xiahei and Qu Laoyi, they took advantage of our fellow apprentices
When we get together, it's not for your Qinglian Kowloon Lantern, it's for this." Zhu Tong threw out a black leather bag.
"Senior Brother, no matter whether that lamp is a seven-leaf lotus or not, let it stay in the bank for the time being. We can't take risks."
Zhu Yun untied it and took out a Tianhuang stone seal; it was engraved below: Dragon Head Yun Yunyin Zen Forest. On the seal body, there are complicated landscape patterns.
Zhu Huai took the seal and weighed it in his hand, listening to Zhu Yun explain in detail the scam designed by his junior brother. After listening, a smile appeared on his lips: "Master, with my eyes, I can't see the authenticity of it."
Fake. I think if it appeared at auction, it would sell for at least this price."
"Fifty thousand?" Zhu Tong looked at Zhu Huai's outstretched palm.
"It's five million. As long as they know what it represents, no matter how high the price is, someone will pay it. But it can't be done now. It is the key to solving our difficulties. If the situation is not right later, we will hand him over."
Zhu Tong thought about it, he didn't dare to cause too much trouble because of this matter, and he didn't want to implicate his teacher because of himself.
"Senior brother is familiar with this circle, so this matter will be decided by senior brother. This seal was originally a meeting gift from my younger brother to senior brother. Zhu Shan said that your residence in Xi'an has been sealed long ago." Zhu Tong said this, Zhu Huai said
He waved his hand quickly: "No need for this. Master..."
"Senior brother, Jiang Xiaoyu's current goal is to find the treasure, and the news of the treasure came from senior brother. He thought that you must have some clues. The monk of the first-grade Golden Buddha is looking for the treasure first, and secondly to vent his anger.
Two senior brothers, more than ten days ago, I felt depressed and took my disciples to Puxian Temple for a tour. Hey, Master Yuanji has retired from the world."
Few people in the world knew about Zhu Tong's riot at Puxian Temple. Even Zhu Yun had heard of it for the first time. Master Kongmu and Qing Wu of Puxian Temple were both masters, as well as the even more advanced Master Yuanji;
Zhu Tong said it easily, they all know what it means to turn around.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Zhu Tong would also be embarrassed; "They have been causing trouble behind our backs and not letting those monks see how powerful we are. Who knows when they will play tricks again?"
"Senior brother, this disciple that the master has accepted has a great background. Do you know the Living Buddha Suowonda? His name is Zhu Fei now."
When Zhu Huai heard Zhu Yun's explanation, his pores were bulging with cold sweat. How could Suowonda Living Buddha, a god-like master, worship under Zhu Tong's disciples?
Zhu Tong explained the matter about Suowonda in detail, but the two senior brothers were still dubious.
"Tomorrow at the latest, Zhu Fei will be here. I have asked Lanhua's sisters to greet them at the airport. What we have to do is to hold on until then. Snow Monk and Big Wheel are both in the temple on the mountain."
"How do you know?" Zhu Huai then felt that something was wrong. The big fire wheel was just average, but the Snow Monk was a tough one.
Hongfa Temple is not big, and is located on a sunny slope. The low wall is not an obstacle to ordinary people in the world. The only place that can be defended is the Dongzhong Temple in the backyard.
After lunch, Zhu Huai took Zhu Shan out and came back in the afternoon with a leather box in his arms.
Zhu Tong was walking around the main hall, and when he saw his senior brother, he came up to him and said, "Is this the Kowloon Lantern?"
Zhu Huai nodded, entered the main hall and opened the leather box on the incense table.
At first glance, the Kowloon lantern is eight inches high and is indeed unremarkable. When you hold it in your hand and look at it carefully, you can see that the whole body is decorated with fine gold-inlaid flowing cloud patterns. Nine gorgeous coiled dragons are hovering deep in the flowing clouds, with exquisite patterns.
Complex, the entire Kowloon lantern is dignified and elegant.
In fact, this is a lamp that Zhu Huai just picked from the cultural relics market. Although it is considered an old thing, it is much worse than the Seven-leaf Lotus.
"With it, our chances of winning are better." Zhu Tong chuckled and put down the Kowloon lantern, turned to Zhu Shan and said: "Go and buy a banquet at the foot of the mountain with Zhu Hai. The richer the better, buy more wine.
Box; Hehe, we will have a lot of guests tonight."
Zhu Shan and Zhu Hai went, and Zhu Tong said to the two senior brothers: "Two senior brothers, is there any loophole in this arrangement?"
Zhu Yun and Zhu Huai were both old people, so they knew what Zhu Tong was planning without saying anything, and they both thought about it carefully.
"What if they don't enter the hole? Can we drive them all in?" Zhu Yun was a little worried.
"That's just right. The last thing we're afraid of is wasting time. It's best if they don't enter the cave until noon tomorrow, so we three brothers can talk about it."
Zhu Huai is older and has considered everything carefully: "Master, if too many people come, I'm afraid..."
