God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 678
Xu Jingxing glanced at Yin Xiaojing thoughtfully, "Sister Xiaojing, when did you become so professional?"

Yin Xiaojing raised her neck and said proudly: "Being close to Zhu Zhechi, I have had a lot of contact with you, a great woodcarver. Even if I am a fool, I can learn something, let alone I am not a fool."

"Hahaha, so to speak, I'm a little proud," he laughed triumphantly upon hearing this.

Some people say that men like to pull a good family into the water and persuade them to follow the good, because it gives them a sense of accomplishment.But for Xu Jingxing, it would be more fulfilling to make these women around him like these unpopular cultures. To be precise, as long as there are women who are willing to make changes for him, it will be very fulfilling.

For example, now, it feels very good to turn Yin Xiaojing, who knows nothing about woodcarving, into an expert.

But there is no need to say this kind of slightly strange little habit, although it doesn't hurt to say it.

Yin Xiaojing naturally didn't know this, so she giggled and said, "Fly, fly, let your pride be indulged." After the effect, he asked: "Then why did you buy it? Don't tell me that you are giving money to the old lady through this method." , I just saw that you were planning to hit that old lady."

He was a little speechless, "Am I that kind of person? Hitting the old lady, you can figure it out."

"Hee hee, isn't this worried that you can't control yourself?" Yin Xiaojing continued to laugh, and then said with a little apology after laughing: "I didn't expect that old lady to do this, I'm sorry."

"Why do you want to say sorry? If you want to say sorry, you should also say it to the old lady. She was the one who opened her mouth and wanted to cheat me out of money."

"It's not a matter of money or not." Yin Xiaojing was a little disappointed, "You were thinking of helping her, but she turned around, isn't it uncomfortable?"

He was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed, "Sister Xiaojing, you are underestimating me, my endurance is more than that, hehe, when it comes to understanding the warmth and coldness of human relationships, you really may not be better than me, I have seen even uglier human nature, so where is this?"

"Really? Are you trying to comfort me?"

"How about I dig out the heart and show you?"

"Okay, okay, I believe that's it, why are you talking so scary," Yin Xiaojing smiled again, "Then are you going home?"

"Before I came here, I said that I want to have lunch together. I don't want to be regarded as a person who doesn't talk too much." All the "trash" were moved upstairs.

The other items were fine, but the stone elephant took a lot of effort, and when it was put down, a few towels were deliberately placed on the floor, for fear that the house would be damaged.

No way, this stone elephant weighs more than 300 catties. Although it does not look very tall, it is not small in size. At a glance, it looks like a big stone pier half the height, and the shape of this stone elephant is simple and honest. , the four elephant legs are very thick, the body is round and plump, as stocky as you want.

Of course, this kind of shape is not without advantages. The advantage is that this bluestone carved elephant looks very happy, and has an affinity that makes people want to be closer, especially the slightly curved trunk with There was a hint of playfulness, as if preparing to spray water.

Yin Xiaojing didn't quite understand, "This stone elephant looks interesting, but it's worthless, right? I remember you said some time ago that such large bluestone sculptures usually don't sell for a good price."

He nodded, "I said that, but it's not absolute," he said with a smile: "Of course, this fat elephant is indeed not for sale, but it is actually very valuable for collection. Because this big guy is no ordinary stone elephant."

"Ah?" Yin Xiaojing became curious when she heard it, and walked around the stone elephant a few times, "Why do I look like an ordinary stone elephant?"

"Hehe, if you could tell, it would have been looted and taken away by someone long ago, and it wouldn't fall into our hands at all," he joked with a smile. Brushing it again, "Look again, how is this stone elephant different from ordinary stone sculptures."

Yin Xiaojing looked more carefully this time, and suddenly clapped her hands after a while, "There is something on its back, but it broke off, what a pity."

"Then guess again, what was it carrying on its back?"

"Well, let me think about it." Yin Xiaojing frowned and thought for more than a minute, then blinked and asked: "I remember it was said in Journey to the West that there was a Bodhisattva whose mount was a big white elephant. Could it be that Bodhisattva?"

"You are talking about Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, right? Hey, it's a little bit off, but it's still not the correct answer. Keep guessing."

"Don't guess, don't guess, tell me the answer quickly," Yin Xiaojing stopped guessing, shaking his arm coquettishly.

"Ahem, don't shake it, don't shake it, I'll tell you that, but I'm just guessing, and I can't guarantee 100% correctness." He first left himself a way out, and then explained: "Pu The mount of the virtuous Bodhisattva is indeed a white elephant. White elephant sculptures often appear in temples together with Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, but not without exception. In many temples, the white elephant will appear as a Buddhist guardian animal. In front of gods and Buddhas, it is generally used to hunch things, such as lotus seats."

Speaking of this, he pointed to the fracture on the back of the stone elephant, "Look at this fracture, it has a diameter of more than 30 centimeters, and this size occupies a relatively high proportion in the entire carving. The size is not small, especially the diameter, which should be larger than that of a white elephant, and the only Buddhist subject that meets this standard is the lotus seat."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that the white elephant is carrying a lotus seat on its back, and there is a Bodhisattva standing on the lotus seat, but that possibility should not be very high." There is another possibility, that is, the white elephant is pulling the chariot of a certain god and Buddha, if this is the case, the value of this stone elephant may be even higher."

"Really?" Yin Xiaojing didn't expect such a stone elephant, which seemed nothing special, to have so many words, so she seemed very surprised.

He nodded, "Unfortunately, this can only be guesswork, unless we can find the broken part of the stone elephant's back, or find the original owner of the stone elephant to understand the situation," he sighed at this point, " I originally wanted to inquire about the origin of these objects from the old lady, but I was so angry that I forgot all of them."
