Chapter 233 Vajra Prajna Paramita Sutra
After breathing out a breath of turbid air, Li Yi calmed down. He took it for granted that he would not do Wang Haoqing's business.
Because of the different sizes, colored gems cannot be treated the same as jade. These gems are so small, they are piled up in piles. If they are placed outside and allowed to visit and enjoy at will, I am afraid that half of them will be left after a public market.
But no matter how understanding is, you should be depressed. If you are depressed, the exhibitor is safe to arrange this way, but he cannot do it casually. What should I do?
After thinking about it, Li Yi decided not to force it. Anyway, the bidding started on the fourth day. It doesn’t matter if he took it out for the first three days, or even the first half of the fourth day, to try to upgrade. Once the perspective upgrade is achieved, at his speed, half a day is enough for him to catch up with the opening of the fifth morning!
But since you are here, you might as well take a look first, so you can suck as much as you can.
Li Yi first walked around the exhibition hall and found that not only were there various colored treasure particles, but many of them appeared in crystal clusters.
The so-called crystal cluster refers to a cluster-like collection of many single crystals of minerals that grow in cracks or holes of rocks. To give a simple metaphor, it is like the polycrystalline rock sugar we usually eat, and is composed of single crystals condensed together.
However, because one end of the colored crystal cluster is fixed on the common base rock and the other end is freely developed and formed, compared with polycrystalline rock sugar, its shape is more like a blooming flower, with a small bottom and large top.
Since the Cute Baby Crystal Cluster is a collection of multiple single crystals, it is naturally much more cost-effective to absorb the cool air in the Crystal Cluster than to absorb the single Cluster. Therefore, Li Yi decided to absorb the cool air in the Cluster first, and then absorb the red sapphire particles in the tray.
In this way, even if he looked at more, the variety he chose was relatively single, and it should not cause disgust from the staff.
Compared with Caibao particles, the individuals of the crystal clusters are generally larger, so they are not placed on the counter, but on the table for viewing. Therefore, even if Li Yi absorbs them one by one, there will be no big problems.
Li Yi first chose a purple pink and white tourmaline crystal cluster placed on white silk and lined with gold paper. The weight of this crystal cluster is as high as 19.22 kilograms and the base price is 1.42 million euros. It is the largest and most expensive single-body color treasure crystal cluster in the exhibition hall.
The domestic tourmaline price has been strong in the past two years. Some natural tourmalines with large particles and good clarity can even be sold for thousands of yuan per gram. The average price of this crystal cluster is only more than 70 euros per gram. Even considering the fact that it is a raw stone, this price is still considered cheap.
Li Yi first carefully observed the size and clarity of the tourmaline crystal particles on the crystal cluster, and then gently touched it with his hands. In an instant, a slightly cold air flowed into his body along his fingers.
Theoretically, single-crystal colored treasures may basically form crystal clusters, but because the particles of the red sapphire themselves are relatively small, even if they form crystal clusters, they are many times smaller than this crystal cluster. Therefore, the cool air contained in them may not necessarily have those colored treasure crystal clusters with relatively low value, but larger individuals.
But since most of the crystal clusters are placed outside, Li Yi naturally would not be polite. He pretended to be curious and swept the crystal clusters placed on the table one by one, because many of them were just a touch, so the staff did not stop them.
Just after absorbing the cold air in the crystal cluster, Li Yi heard the sound of a loudspeaker in the museum notifying the exhibitors to leave. He looked at the time and it was five o'clock in a while before ten minutes. He smiled and said thank you to the staff, turned around and left Hall No. 6.
When he returned to the hotel, Li Yi first briefly communicated with Zhong Huan and others about the situation today, and then called Wang Haoqing.
"Boy, you can arrive within ten minutes, otherwise you may not be able to see this treasure!"
When Li Yi heard that there was a baby, he immediately felt energetic. While running out, he asked with the phone holding up:
"What baby? Jade? Gem? Or..."
"Don't guess, I can't guess anyway, so I'd better pay more attention to the way down my feet! Grandma, on the way back from you yesterday, my feet were sprained, and it still hurts a little bit now!"
Li Yi was shocked. He couldn't sprain his ankle these two days, and he was still counting on making some money on the public market!
The hotel where Wang Haoqing stayed was not far from Li Yi and the others. He didn't have to take a bus and arrived in a twenty-minute walk. When Wang Haoqing saw Li Yi, he first asked about the situation of the public market, and then mysteriously took out a flat rectangular carved wooden box.
"Oh? This box you showed me? It's not bad, sandalwood."
Li Yi raised the wooden box, stared at the carved pattern on the lid, and murmured as he looked:
"The Buddha statue has an exaggerated shape, clamped handprints, decorated with delicate and colorful mattresses, with pointed arches, and flame patterns... This should be the engraving technique of the Buddhist Tantric Buddhism in Bangladesh after the Gupta era in India. Tibetan Buddhism was deeply influenced by this period of Buddhist art... Well, it's a good thing. What's wrong? Why did you look like that? I was wrong? Don't laugh, I tell you, I dare not say anything else, but this carving, I can now be said to be familiar with ancient and modern learning, Chinese and Western... "
"Hahahaha, I don't know if you said it was right, but I tell you, what I want to show you is not this box, but a hand-written Buddhist scripture contained in this box! Hahaha, let you install it for me, isn't it leaking? Oh, I'm so laughing, I'm asking you to show me that you appraisers are so poor?"
Li Yi threw him a hygiene ball. He argued with such a person who didn’t understand anything, but it was really a waste of money. He was just a hand-written Buddhist scripture, and maybe it was not as precious as this box!
When he opened the box, there was a piece of yellowed white silk in it. Li Yi first looked at the patterns of silk carefully, and then took out the silk silk with a cautious expression.
Li Yi carefully spread the silk on the bed, looked down and said, "I'll go, Sanskrit!" But by the way, this can copy scriptures in Sanskrit, and the one who writes so well is definitely a Taoist monk from Buddhism.
"This is the Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra."
Li Yi raised his eyebrows and gave his own judgment.
"Damn, you kid is really so powerful? You even know Sanskrit?"
This time, Wang Haoqing was really scared. He never expected that Li Yi would know Sanskrit. And judging from his reaction speed, it was obvious that Sanskrit's level was not low.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Unexpectedly, it was Li Yi's turn to smile this time. He smiled and said to Wang Haoqing, who was still surprised:
"Okay, I finally got back from revenge, so I won't continue to scare you. Let me tell you the truth, I have not studied the scriptures, but if you count the number of words, hey, it's just right! Hahahaha!"
Wang Haoqing was so amused and crying by this kid. After a while, he asked half-believingly:
"You really don't know Sanskrit? Don't you lie to me?"
Li Yi ignored him, looked down at the Buddhist scriptures, and began to recite them word by word:
"I heard this: Why? All sentient beings have no self-image, human appearance, sentient beings, and longevity appearance, and there is no unlawful appearance... He said, "He wrote it wrongly, why can't the number of words match?"
"Damn!"
Wang Haoqing shouted, wishing he could rush over and strangle Li Yi to death! When Li Yi just read the so-called I smelled, he was almost scared to death. He thought this kid really understood Sanskrit, but he didn't expect that he would reveal himself next.
After Wang Haoqing got this thing, he checked the translation of the Diamond Sutra online. Although he couldn't remember it, he also knew why I heard that the following sentence was not the same. He remembered why it was in the second half of the scripture. Obviously, Li Yi, a kid, probably would have recited this sentence, but he couldn't be fooled by this.
"Okay, stop making trouble. Please help me see if this thing is real?"
"What's really not true? You haven't even said who copied it yet. How do I know if it's true?"
"Hey, aren't you so awesome? You can't tell who copied it?"
Li Yi was immediately angry and pointed his finger at Wang Haoqing silently and shook twice.
"Should you wait for me!"
He looked at the scriptures, pretended to be careful to identify them, and secretly activated the spiritual appraisal card. Soon, a thick and cold breath poured into his body, which was very magical. He knew it was cold, but he felt a little warm.
However, he did not have time to experience this strange feeling, because he was a little scared, because the identification given by the Soul-Cheng Card in this volume was actually:
"The Diamond Prajna Paramita Sutra", Kumarajiva, Western Jin Dynasty"
"Kumarajiva, this is actually a hand-written scripture of Kumarajiva... It has been more than 1,600 years, and it is incredible that it can be preserved so well!"
Compared to his surprise, Wang Haoqing was so scared that his chin almost dropped. Damn, the appraiser is really so magical? Just such a scripture, without signature, seal, and in Sanskrit, can he tell the story in one word? Don't fool me again, right?
He looked at Li Yi, noticed the solemn expression on his face, and couldn't help but ask:
"Are you sure? Really sure?"
"Basically, I have seen photos of Kumarajiva hand-copied Sanskrit scriptures in the book..."
"Which book? Are you still here? Remember to lend it to me when you go back."
Li Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. Is it still there? Is it still there? But I am not afraid. At worst, I can ask the master if he has it.
"When I go back and find it for you. By the way, where did you get this thing?"
Wang Haoqing smiled at him and said:
"Keep confidential!"
Seeing Li Yi rushing over to move his fist, Wang Haoqing waved his hand quickly.
Chapter completed!
