Chapter 116 Chapter 116 Under the Treasure Map

Naturally, Jia Sidao did not dare to participate in the auction for such things. Even Liu Yufei, although there was a lot of envy in his eyes when he saw the bronze tripod suddenly, but it passed in a blink of an eye, and he didn't look at it carefully at all. .Regardless of whether this thing is real or not, or where it came from, even if you are interested in taking pictures of this thing, the organizer will not openly tell you that there is any problem with the source of the thing. As long as you understand it in your heart, if you are patient and enjoy it alone at home, after dozens or hundreds of years, if it reappears, the problem will not be too big.

Those who can really accept these things are all big collectors. Otherwise, they are dealers who resell cultural relics. They have already contacted the next family and are going to steal them out of the country directly. When Jia Sidao heard Liu Yufei's words, although his expression was calm, he couldn't help sighing at the word "cultural relic".However, to be honest, the country does have strict control over cultural relics, but is there still a lot of them passing away? Don't say that Jia Sidao can't do anything about these things now, even if he can use money to collect them, then what?Donate to a museum?Jia Sidao didn't think that the things displayed in the museum must be very real.Most of the so-called standard instruments can only be obtained by relying on relationships. If you really have the interest to buy a good Dongxi, Jia Sidao will probably be like those collectors, and put it in your own home, occasionally admiring it. Bar?

As for the sale of cultural relics, Jia Sidao will not agree, but it is not disgusting either. As for the finale bronze tripod in front of me, in the end, it was sold at a price of more than four million yuan, and it was won by a man who looked big and thick.Moreover, it seems that from the beginning to the end, this man only participated in the bidding process at the last moment, and completely ignored the previous auction items. Jia Sidao took a look at the other party. That appearance is really not too outstanding. The only feeling may be that the northerners are burly and strong. They look powerful and powerful. The appearance and this bronze tripod complement each other somewhat. .I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, this collection business is really not a person's appearance, especially at the time of bidding, this man's posture is full of domineering, it is inevitable!

Not to mention those who bid together, even a spectator like Jia Sidao was overwhelmed. After leaving the night market of the antique black market, Jia Sidao and Liu Yufei returned to the hotel together. "Well, I saw a lot of good things, but I didn't gain anything at all. Is it a bit out of shape?" Liu Yufei looked at Jia Sidao's somewhat dying appearance, and couldn't help asking with a smile. "There's nothing to be disappointed about." Jia Sidao was very calm, "I don't have enough eyesight, even if I see something good, I don't dare to act decisively." Jia Sidao was asked to bid for tens of thousands of tens of thousands, but he lost a little bit of self-confidence.

"It's okay, if you participate in more auctions in the future, your courage will come out." Liu Yufei patted Jia Sidao on the shoulder and said, "Isn't that how I got trained?" Jia Sidao could only smile faintly when he heard the words, and when he returned to his room, he just sat down and thought about it, then went to the safe of the hotel and took the root carvings that he collected in the afternoon return.Now, when he looked at the root carving in his hand, Jia Sidao couldn't hold back his curiosity. Speaking of which, although the carving of the Great Asura King is a bit hideous in appearance, it is also relatively delicate, and the wood is not bad, and the price of such a root carving alone, five thousand yuan, at least No loss.

As far as Jia Sidao knows, root carvings have existed since ancient times, especially root carvings of gods and Buddhas, which were quite common in ancient times.The most famous one is probably Han Yu's "Timu Layman". Among them, there is a poem like "The fire penetrates the waves and does not count the spring, the roots are like the head and the face is dry like the body. Occasionally inscribed as a wooden layman, there will be endless people who seek blessings." Such a poem. The "Wood Layman" in the poem is a root art work regarded as the image of "God and Buddha".

Of course, the image of this root carving of King Shura tends to be more westernized, and it is somewhat different from the famous ones in China such as Guanyin and Maitreya.Jia Sidao checked the wood first, and felt that it should not be too early in terms of time and age.As for judging from the style of the sculpture, Jia Sidao seemed a bit of an amateur, and he couldn't see it at all. Should I ask Liu Yufei? Jia Sidao was thinking about it, when the phone rang, and he checked the number, it turned out to be Liu Zekun who hadn't been in contact with him for the past few days, he couldn't help thinking, could it be his sister's holding moon bottle, you can get it Getting started?

"Xiao Jia, I'm Liu Zekun." As soon as he picked up the phone, the voice from the other side came over.However, what followed was Liu Zekun's somewhat hesitant voice: "Well, I have talked sincerely with my sister several times in the past few days, and I have also talked to my nephew." "How was the result?" Jia Sidao asked slightly nervously, this was the first time he traveled far away to collect things, and the biggest purpose of coming to Henan was probably to collect one or two pieces of porcelain. "As a result, my sister also said that if it is really for Xiao Zhai's study, those few bottles that are slightly worse, if you just sell one, it is enough for Xiao Zhai's tuition." Liu Zekun said, "So , although my sister knows that you also like to collect porcelain, but the one you fancy, Xiao Jia, my sister's tone is really tight. I tried to persuade you many times, but it didn't work. I think this matter, It’s really not easy to do it.”

"Oh, that's all right, I still want to thank you." Jia Sidao said politely. "No, Xiao Jia, please don't say that. If it wasn't for you, I might not be able to come back from Linhai." Liu Zekun said, "If there is a chance, I will persuade my sister again. If there is still hope, I will definitely call you first when the time comes." "Success, let's do it like this." Jia Sidao responded. "Well, that's it for now. I'm afraid that things on my side won't be done well, and there isn't much room for maneuver at the moment. I'm afraid it will delay the time of both of you, so I'll tell you first." Liu Zekun said , "If there is nothing else, I will hang up."

"Well,..." After finishing the call, Jia Sidao was somewhat disappointed. It seemed that this trip to Henan was not going well. It was nothing more than finding someone to appraise the agate tree, and nothing else. Nothing to gain.However, collecting a line is like this. Sometimes, a few hundred dollars inadvertently can be exchanged for millions of treasures. Or went bankrupt and bought a counterfeit. Jia Sidao looked at the root carving that he had placed on the bedside table, and then a gratifying smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Considering that there may still be some tempting secrets in this eagle, Jia Sidao originally wanted to open it immediately, but he hesitated.It was as if after the giant jadeite was cut open, a glassy emperor green jadeite appeared, Jia Sidao kept something hidden from Liu Yufei.

If you open the root carving now, take out the things hidden inside, and then try to restore it to its original appearance, it will not be easy. At that time, as long as Liu Yufei sees it, he will definitely have doubts. Let's endure it for a few more days, Jia Sidao clenched his fist and made up his mind. The next day, the two of them were not in the mood to go shopping in Shenhou anymore. Even if the opening of the Shenhou Antique Market was just another day away, Jia Sidao still wanted to stay and participate, but Liu Yufei He received a call from home telling him to go back as soon as possible. Jia Sidao asked a question, but was told that it was a good thing for business, so he couldn't say anything more. And after Liu Yufei left that day, Jia Sidao was left alone in the hotel, thinking about doing some personal things, not to mention finding something in the antique market in Shenhou, now the root carving in Jia Sidao's hand, But he opened it in the room. For this reason, Jia Sidao also searched for a long time on the Internet to see if the thing hidden in this carving has appeared before.As a result, in most places, there is no record, but it has been used for some purposes such as sending letters. Of course, after logging into the forum of 'Tianxia Collection', Jia Sidao asked an old miscellaneous gentleman for advice, and only then did he learn a very vivid term: wooden collection. To put it bluntly, there are definitely not many people who have heard of such things as wooden storage. However, in the knowledge base of some expert boats, such things undoubtedly have a hint of mystery, and their greatest significance lies in the s things. You must know that wooden Tibetans are a very ancient kind of concealed object used to preserve treasures. The letter delivery that Jia Sidao found on the Internet is only part of its function. Most of them are made of wood carvings, root carvings and other wood.And the method of making it is not difficult, just split the wood, hollow out the middle part, then fill in some things that need to be preserved, and then fit them together in a special way. The most commonly used method is to carve out various shapes after fitting together, and then smear the whole body with wax. In this way, it looks more like a complete wood carving, and it is easy to It is difficult for ordinary people to detect what is hidden in it. As for other things, such as things hidden in bronze statues, or things hidden in weapons, most of them are the same. The real method of making wooden Tibetans has been difficult to study in modern times, and there are really too few wooden Tibetans in the world. At this time, when Jia Sidao asked for advice, the old gentleman asked curiously , Does Jia Sidao have such a thing on hand? Jia Sidao could only reply, and he was just out of curiosity. After that, looking at the root carving in his hand, it looks lifelike. If Jia Sidao hadn't detected it with supernatural perception, it would be really hard to find that it is a wooden Tibetan.Come to think of it, the owner should have spent a lot of thought when making it, right?It is conceivable that the things stored in it should not be too simple. Jia Sidao put the root carving on the bedside table, stretched out his hand on the back of the root carving, groped slowly for a while, and found the gap that had been split.Judging from the appearance, the position is just at the edge of the back of the Great Asura King. During the period, because of the hand of the Great Asura King, the carving at the junction was relatively complicated in terms of craftsmanship, and there were many twists and turns, but the root carving The gap is placed in this square, which is really a very deceptive way to deal with it. Coupled with the wax coating on the outer layer, it is no wonder that there must be many people who have handled this root carving over the years, but they have never been able to perceive that there is another mystery in it. It was a coincidence. Take tools, and open along the original gap of the root carving, only to hear a 'click', and the whole root carving will be cracked. The things hidden in it naturally appeared in front of Jia Sidao. As guessed earlier, there was a bunch of folded paper and a stone-like thing.In addition, the hollow part of the whole root carving is not big enough to fit Jia Sidao's fist.Perhaps because of the age, some pine appeared on the wall in the hollow, and when the root carving was cracked, some soft and fine wood was scattered. When Jia Sidao touched it with his hands, he realized that his visual guess was wrong. These tiny powdery things felt more like substances to prevent moisture.After all, what is hidden in this hollow space is something made of paper. As for the small stones that were not understood before, such as the thickness of a thumb, Jia Sidao had a faint smile on his mouth.No wonder the perception is more familiar, what appeared in front of him was a piece of emerald. Judging from its color, it turned out to be a rare red jadeite. It is said that red is emerald and green is emerald. Jia Sidao had only seen this red jadeite before, but never owned it by Hua himself. Seeing such a little red, he really liked it tightly. After playing with it in his hand, he felt a little cold, especially when he revealed the red jadeite. Chicken blood red, bright and somewhat eye-catching. Carefully opening the folded paper, it was just a crude sketch, with some mountains, waters, and a few lines drawn on it, which could be regarded as roads.In addition, there is a building that looks like a temple. If it weren't for the words 'Shenlong Temple' written on the side, Jia Sidao wouldn't dare to confirm it. This painter is really not flattering. Could it be the person who made the root carving, who stayed here to tease future generations?
