Chapter 48 Chapter 2 The Boss of Barkhor Street Wholesale Gold

"Golden eyes and silver beads?" I thought to myself, what is this?Never heard of it.Xu Zhiwu is still answering the phone, I don't want to disturb him, but I can't calm down.It was not easy to escape from the dead this time, but I didn't expect that a person would come to the hospital and tell me about the Qing soldiers who turned into corpses and the origin of the owner in the tomb.This, is this a good thing or a bad thing?I have no idea. Everyone has always said that the less you know, the longer you can live. Although I don’t want to live a long life, I have cherished life a lot after what happened on Mount Jambako. think carefully.After waking up, I haven't seen Zhuoma Yangjin, and I asked Lao Li, but he didn't know either.Now I urgently need to discuss with her and tell her everything about the tomb and the Xu Zhiwu who claims to be an expert of unknown origin.But... I never thought about this when I was on the mountain, so I didn't ask her for contact information. Now I don't have any news about her except that she is a Tibetan, and she is a person full of people. Secret person, to find her, that is easier said than done.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling sad. After a while, Xu Zhiwu finished answering the phone and said to me happily: "Luo Lian, no... If you don't mind, I'll call you Xiao Luo. Calling you by your full name is too formal. It makes people not used to it." I smiled and agreed. Xu Zhiwu continued: "Xiao Luo, there is a very important matter now. If you can get out of bed, let's go to Barkhor Street to find a friend. He has something good to give me... My grandfather's business, I'm free I'll tell you more slowly." The excitement in her words was unconcealable.

Go to Barkhor Street with him?I haven't thought about it yet, after all I don't know him very well now, and, most importantly, I really don't want to go into the murky waters about faceless and anything even remotely related to it.I'm really timid, and I can't stand the toss. "I'm sorry, thank you for being considerate of me, and for going to the hospital to tell me something..." I said politely, neither humble nor overbearing, "It's just that I really don't know what you want to know. So..." I didn't continue the following words , presumably Xu Zhiwu understood what I meant.

Sure enough, Xu Zhiwu said with a face of understanding: "Of course, you need to recuperate for a while. As for whether you know something or not, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I know you have seen a faceless devil, and that is enough. Based on this alone, you are qualified enough to meet that person." The story of a faceless devil appearing on Jambaque Mountain has gradually spread since Xiaozhou and the others returned to the communication station at the foot of the mountain, and I As the main force to get rid of Faceless Wang Weicheng, it was even more legendary, so it was not surprising that Xu Zhiwu knew about it.This time when I was hospitalized in the General Hospital of the Military Region in Lhasa, many doctors, nurses or patients came to watch me curiously.

"Meet that person?" I repeated, "Do you still need qualifications?" As soon as the words came out, I realized that I had already expressed my attitude that I would not go, so I quickly stopped and wanted to ask who was such an arrogant person. Xu Zhiwu said: "He has some background. He was born in a noble family in Lhasa. He grew up in the Potala Palace... Isn't there a yellow house next to the Potala Palace? Their family lived in it before. This time he gave me If what I read is true, the whole world will be in an uproar if I say it." When he said this, he suddenly stopped talking and carefully checked my expression and reaction.

I was very interested in Tibetan culture, but when I heard what he said, my damn curiosity arose immediately. "Then...then what is he going to show you? It seems inappropriate for me to follow you for no reason. " "What's inappropriate. You are the perfect candidate." Xu Zhiwu saw that there was some activity in my words, and said quickly, "Golden eyes and silver beads, you know?" I shook my head and said, "I haven't heard of it." Xu Zhiwu said: "No wonder you haven't heard of it, this matter was originally a secret. Let's put it this way, Gu Ge Yinyan, you know it?"

Guge Silver Eyes!I was surprised, it was a priceless thing, a three-eyed Buddha statue that could only be produced by the Tibetan dynasty that had disappeared for three or four hundred years.He asked in amazement, "Does your friend have a Guge silver-eyed Buddha statue?" Damn Xu Zhiwu, he didn't answer me, he smiled slyly and said: "You are so interested, why don't you go and have a look?" I admit that "curiosity killed the cat", damn curiosity betrayed me again this time. "..." I hesitated for a while, then thought about it, I have experienced so many things, now that I have a chance to get the answer, why not go.

"Okay, wait for me to change into clothes that can be seen." I said resolutely. ... Xu Zhiwu's car was parked in front of the hospital, it was a low-key off-road vehicle.Not only does he have a vicissitudes of life on his body, but even his car exudes the vicissitudes of life.This person also seems to have a very good story. Sitting in the car, I originally planned to continue to ask the story of Xu Zhiwu's grandfather, but he didn't say a word, and the car drove very fast.Although Lhasa is not as congested as Beijing and Shanghai, accidents can happen if you don't pay attention.But I still dare not speak easily so that he can't concentrate on driving.

Soon, in less than twenty minutes, we arrived at the famous Barkhor Street.The Jokhang Temple is located here, and there are many small stalls on the street that specialize in business for tourists: shawls, fur hairpins, earrings, bracelets, turquoise prayer wheel hada, sheep skulls with Cordyceps snow lotus... Of course, there are also antiques like Xu Zhiwu's friend.However, it is not known whether it is a real antique. The car stopped in front of a store with a signboard of "Wholesale Gold" beside the Jokhang Temple Square.When I saw the four extremely lavish words "wholesale gold" from a distance, I couldn't help being amazed, wondering if there were piles of gold bricks in this store.

As soon as the car stopped, a tall man in his fifties wearing a black Tibetan robe walked towards us and said in not-so-fluent Chinese: "Zhiwu, you are here." Next to Xu Zhiwu, he hurriedly said enthusiastically, "There is also this little brother, Zhiwu, please quickly introduce me to me..." While talking, he let us into the store. Xu Zhiwu immediately introduced us to each other. I know that this Tibetan man is called Laba. He is the owner of this "gold wholesale" store. Due to his family background, he has some unique insights and vision for antique utensils, so he also makes some antiques. Business.

The facade house on the street is still doing business, so Laba took us to the second floor for a detailed discussion. The furnishings on the second floor are extremely luxurious, showing the true colors of the descendants of the great aristocrats. The floor is covered with woolen carpets with pictures of the Eight Treasures. Both sides are full of gleaming closets made of copper or gold. In the middle of the closet is a Buddha statue. A white silk Hada is hung in front of the Buddha statue.Raba asked someone to serve us buttered tea, and then repeatedly asked us to sit down wherever we wanted. I know that Tibetans have great rules and etiquette, and I dare not make mistakes. I followed Xu Zhiwu and sat down on a row of things that were somewhat similar to sofas, but much more luxurious and beautiful than sofas. Xu Zhiwu seemed to be showing off his own treasures, proudly pointing to our cushions and cushions, and said: "I'm afraid that there is no second home for these things in Lhasa now. They were all hand-sewn by the families of the great nobles in the past. . Rabba found it with great difficulty." I don't know how to do handwork or not. I just think that the red, yellow, blue, green and black in this room are very lively and harmonious. After Xu Zhiwu finished speaking in a few words, he stopped entangled in the topic of decoration in the room, and urged Laba to quickly show us the good things. Raba hesitated for a moment, looked at me, and said with some uncertainty: "Take it out now?" Obviously he was worried about me. Xu Zhiwu said: "Xiao Luo is the one who I told you was the one who had an adventure, not an outsider, take it out and let me quickly open my eyes." Raba looked at me again uneasy, and wanted to say something, but he hesitated, and turned around to get something from the back room. "Should I avoid it." I also felt that I was a bit abrupt to follow, so I said. Xu Zhiwu took a sip of the buttered tea in front of him and said, "No, no, I just wanted you to see it." He drank the buttered tea very professionally, even though Laba was not present, he still used his right ring finger to dip a little tea in the tea bowl according to the rules , raised your finger, flicked it in the air three times, then gently blew away the oil slick on the surface of the tea, and then took a small sip at a leisurely pace.After drinking about half of it, stop and wait for the host Laba to add new tea. I suspect that it is because he is so proficient in Tibetan etiquette and rules that he and Laba became good friends. Otherwise, a reckless and unruly person, Laba would not be able to show him his treasure casually.But guess what, I still followed Xu Zhiwu's example and drank a few sips of buttered tea, which is a respect for the master. Raba went into the house for a while, and when I was getting impatient, he came out with something wrapped in a yellow cloth in his hand. "Look at Zhiwu." He couldn't wait to open the yellow cloth before sitting down, and said, "Golden eyes and silver beads." Xu Zhiwu took it over respectfully with both hands, and exclaimed in a low voice: "It really is!" When I looked, I saw a golden Buddha statue about one foot high wrapped in yellow cloth.The Buddha statue wears the crown of the Buddha, folds his hands, and sits on the lotus platform of the animal seat.The most peculiar is the face of the Buddha.There is a vertical eye in the middle of the forehead between the two eyes, and the eyeballs are set off by the golden face, shining silver and shining brightly. I was shocked by the exquisite artwork in front of me, and I held my breath, not even daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing this peaceful Buddha. Laba came over to refill the butter tea for us lightly, and said, "You can see it, the real gold eyes and silver beads." Xu Zhiwu suddenly let out a long sigh, and said: "The things in your house are still back."
