Chapter 688 The Stolen Masterpiece

With the help of the island girl and Wu Yue, the masterpiece handed down from the Southern Song Dynasty slowly unfolded.This is a silk scroll, ink and color, about 76 cm long by 176 cm long.

Avalokitesvara, also known as Avalokitesvara, is one of the most familiar Buddhist figures.The Avalokitesvara in front of me is different from the common Avalokitesvara statue with one head and two hands. There are 26 Bodhisattva heads and one Buddha head on top of her head. There are a thousand hands, and there is an eye in the palm of each hand, so it is called Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes is an important example of Avalokitesvara in Esoteric Buddhism.

This Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms and Thousand Eyes stands on a lotus platform, with 32 faces, each with three eyes, and wears a crown. The 32 faces are divided into five layers, and there is a Buddha face on it.

There are eighteen hands in front of the body, and there are another 980 hands in the lotus petal-shaped backlight, a total of thousands of hands.There is a eye in the palm of each hand, or the joint seal, or the law enforcement object, or the Buddha, which is magnificent.

On the lotus petal-shaped backlight, all Buddhas gather, with Shakyamuni Buddha in the center, and Buddhas from the ten directions on the left and right.

Right below, there are four heavenly kings carrying a lotus platform on their backs, and there are two Bodhisattvas on the left and right sides. On the left is the Sunlight Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva holding a sword in one hand, and on the right is the Moonlight Bodhisattva and the Bodhisattva holding a vajra bell.At the bottom are the eight guardian gods of heaven and dragon, with four gods on the left and right.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva wears the crown of the Buddha, with cyanotic hair hanging down the shoulders, and mustaches on both lips, still masculine.But the facial features are beautiful, which has revealed feminine qualities.The entire picture is beautifully colored, the wreath decorations and the lotus platform with seven treasures are all carefully depicted, and the clothing lines of the characters are soft and smooth. It is a very rare Buddhist painting masterpiece.

Li Mo looked at it for a while, and with a sweep of his different pupils, the whole picture emitted a light orange halo, which then turned into layers of light circles, making Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes exude a more mysterious color.

This is an authentic work from the late Southern Song Dynasty. The only pity is that I don't know which master it came from.

Moreover, he seemed to have a little impression of "Avalokitesvara with Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes" in his mind. He hadn't seen the original work anywhere, but the list.

Li Mo remained calm, and said with a trace of disdain: "Whether this painting is an authentic Southern Song Dynasty painting has yet to be identified and confirmed, but you have a face, and I think you will not show off a fake one to embarrass yourself. Come on, this How much is the painting worth?"

"Mr. Qin, we got this painting through a special channel. The initial price was 500 million US dollars, but if it is placed in the auction, it will easily exceed 2000 million US dollars."

Li Mo agrees with the price mentioned by the island woman. If you meet a rich man who believes in Buddhism, it is not impossible to bid 3000 million US dollars. Faith is priceless.

"Do you have any other top-notch antiques in your hands? It doesn't matter if it's money or not. I'm very interested in those antiques."

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

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

The island woman bowed to Li Mo, then returned to the fat man and said a few words to him.The fat man named Jem stared fiercely at Li Mo in the cage. He talked with another rich man in a low voice for a while, and then nodded to the island woman.

The fat man brought two paintings, and another rich man also supported one.Seeing this scene, Li Mo felt that they should have a lot of good goods in their hands, otherwise they wouldn't take them out to gamble.

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

Li Mo took a closer look and found that the distant mountains in this painting are rolling and undulating, the nearby mountains are majestic, and the mountains and rivers are quiet and quiet.

Near the wide water, there are thatched huts built near the water, surrounded by lush vegetation, and a small path extends out of the picture in a winding path leading to a secluded place, 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 supported, it should be Lu Yu, and a boy is holding a stove and cooking tea on one side.

The author inscribed the five characters "Lu Yu Cooking Tea" and wrote a poem: Whose house is the hut in the mountain?The vulgar people don't come to the mountain and the birds are scattered, and call the children to draw water to make new tea.

The poem inscribed in the middle of "Guanban" is: Sleeping on the mountain base, thirsty for growth, calling for children to cut tea and wash their dry intestines.The soft dust falls and grinds the dragon balls green, and the running water turns the crab eyes yellow.There is thunder in the ear, and the rhyme is light, and the wind in the nose is too fine to smell the fragrance.One cup washes the pupils open, full of fun in Tiaoxi Yunshui Township.

In the upper right corner of the picture, there is an inscription written by Emperor Qianlong: Mr. Gu Bian is idle in the hut, and the class children are cooking tea in the clouds.Qianxi does not teach floating smoke boats, and Hengbi lives far away.

The two seals of Qian Zhao and Zhao Shanchang, from right to left, there are many vaguely identifiable collection seals, such as Zijing, Molin Miwan, Xiangzijing Family Collection, Qianlong Chenhan, Wuyizhai, Wancuihua and other Tibetan seals.

Li Mo looked at the end and glanced at it with different eyes. This "Lu Yu Cooking Tea Picture" is not only the authentic work of Zhao Yuan, a painter in the late Yuan Dynasty, but also an authentic work that has been passed down in an orderly manner. Even Emperor Qianlong wrote an imperial pen to chant it, which shows its historical value and Market value.

This fat man actually took out two masterpieces handed down from ancient times in a row, and he didn't know where he bought them from.

Li Mo mumbled a few times in his mind, 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 "Lu Yu Cooking Tea" by Zhao Yuan in Yuan Dynasty. Appearing, the blurred memory in his mind became clear.

Both of these two paintings have appeared in the catalog of the Wandao Palace Museum. When he won the battle with the Wandao Museum, these two paintings were included in the list of antiques and cultural relics given by the people there. The treasure of the town hall.

But now those two famous paintings handed down from generation to generation actually appeared on the black market in the United States, in the hands of a rich man in the United States.

Only then did Li Mo understand what the island woman meant by "obtaining it through special channels". Could it be that a big thief came out of the Bay Island Museum and colluded with outsiders?

Even such masterpieces handed down from generation to generation have been exiled to the United States. I can't imagine if there are more national treasures that were brought out by thieves in the dark.

These two paintings must be brought back, and this matter must be contacted with the country immediately, so that there can be confirmation.

"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 asking.

"I can't see through."

Li Mo shook his head, he could not see through, he meant to tell the other party that he could not confirm whether it was really the original work of Yuan Dynasty painter Zhao Yuan.

"Mr. Qin, don't worry, no one who comes here to gamble dares to bring a fake. The market price of this painting is 500 million US dollars. If there is no objection, let's continue to look at the third painting?"

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

After those big rats find it, they must let them taste what peanuts are like.

"You don't need to read the third one, just use these three paintings and add another [-] million US dollars as a bet, and I will fight you desperately to see if it is my fate or your luck is too bad."

"Mr. Qin, absolutely not."

Wuyue was so scared that his face was so ugly, he was crazy, he was so crazy, "Stab, Xing Kong, take Mr. Qin and leave immediately."

Da Shan didn't dare to let Li Mo continue to gamble, these people were all desperadoes, if the three of them fought desperately with the idea of ​​fighting to the death, even if Li Mo didn't have to worry about his life, he would be permanently disabled if he was not careful.

The risk is too great, no one can afford to gamble.
