Play treasure master

Chapter 583
"Forget it. I'll turn around again." Yu Yao turned around and left, thinking at the same time, this thing is almost impulsive!Even if you want to receive "Cloud Blue and White", you should also receive high-quality items.

This one is just an early date, from the Yuan Dynasty; but from the glaze to the hair color to the painting, it is not yet worthy of his collection.However, he had never seen Yun Qinghua before, so he couldn't hold back for a while.Moreover, the main price of the stall is quite high, and it is estimated that it will not drop much, and the profit market is not big.

Yu Yao walked resolutely, the old man didn't call him anymore, but instead smiled at the couple, "Only a layman would think that there are only a few pieces of blue and white Yuan."

The couple were so ashamed that they didn't reply. The woman took the man's arm and walked away quickly.

In this small antique market, the things are very messy, and even the old things are mostly poorly crafted.As for antiques, ancient is one aspect, and beauty is another. If ancient is not beautiful, it will have a "dirty" feeling.

Yu Yao wandered around halfway, then lost interest, and prepared to leave directly.

Just as he turned around, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stall owner holding a big lacquer plate and introducing it to two people.

This lacquer plate is blackened.Tick ​​is craftsmanship, black is color, it is a carved black lacquer plate.There are tick black and tick red, and tick red is relatively more famous.

The plate is more than one foot in diameter, with auspicious patterns carved around the plate, and the center of the plate seems to be a landscape.

Looking at it from a distance, Yu Yao seemed to be a bit old, so he moved closer.

I only paid attention to the plate before, and I stepped forward to take a look. It turns out that these two people are the couple who watched "Yun Qinghua" before.

The stall owner is a middle-aged man with a dark complexion and a strong body. It is really not easy to judge the exact age.

Yu Yao stepped forward, the couple saw it, the man couldn't help but smiled at him with some embarrassment, Yu Yao responded with a smile, and continued to look at the plate.

"The price you mentioned is really unattainable. Look at the paint and craftsmanship. Even if you do it now, the cost is more than what you said!" The stall owner continued to say to the couple.

This kind of thing is often heard from stall owners in the antique market, and it seems reasonable; for example, if you don’t even have enough money for materials, wouldn’t it be a loss if you sell it?But antiques are not modern handicrafts, and the cost cannot be calculated in this way.Something worth 100 million yuan may be collected from the countryside for 100 yuan!

It is even possible for the stall owner to collect one hundred and sell it at ninety, and sell it at a loss.Because he may have collected several pieces in one pile, and the previous ones have made a lot of money, but the remaining ones are not easy to sell, so just exchange some money.

When the couple heard what the stall owner said, they simply left.Xu Shi was also embarrassed to see Yu Yao.

The stall owner yelled a few words, but the couple turned their heads and saw Yu Yao still looking at the plate, so he put the plate in front of Yu Yao and grinned, "Little brother, they don't know the goods, come and see Look!"

"The age seems to be relatively shallow." Yu Yao had already seen clearly that the plate was a bit dated, but it was at most the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. The lacquer technique and carving were not bad, not ugly.

However, the pattern in the center of the plate is not just a landscape, it is a platform on a cliff. On the edge of the platform, there are several monks who are feeding some apes with something. At the same time, there are also a few apes climbing up the cliff. Some held branches, and some held what looked like herbs.

At the same time, there was an old monk on the platform, who seemed to be about to sit down, as if he was going to open the altar to give a Zen lecture.

After hearing what Yu Yao said, the stall owner said, "As long as it's not new, the prices of goods from the Republic of China period are also rising."

"En." After Yu Yao answered vaguely, "This picture of Pan Xin is a bit interesting."

"This is a topic that has been circulated here. It's very good." The stall owner said, "The fairy ape listens to Zen."

This Yu Yao has never heard of it before, "Oh? I heard the story of some eminent monk."

"Yes!"

Yu Yao took out a cigarette at this time and handed it to the stall owner, who was not polite, "Good cigarette, good cigarette."

After lighting a cigarette, the stall owner continued, "This is not just an eminent monk, he was originally the emperor of Dali Kingdom! Before he became a monk, his name was Duan Silian, and the fourth emperor after him was Duan Zhengchun. What Zhengchun established is Houli..."

When he mentioned the official history, Yu Yao remembered a little bit.

It was roughly Gao Zhisheng, the prime minister of Dali at the time, who deposed the emperor Duan Suxing and supported Duan Silian as emperor.

Obviously, this is a puppet emperor, and the power is in the hands of the powerful minister Gao Zhisheng.Gao Zhisheng held the military power and was granted the title of Marquis of Shan Chan, so he didn't take Duan Silian seriously at all.

Later, Duan Silian took the place of his son Duan Lianyi and became a monk.Yu Yao is not so clear about the historical facts afterwards, he only knows that Duan Silian died in his 80s, and it seems that a stupa was built on a certain mountain.

Unexpectedly, he also had an anecdote about "the immortal ape listens to Zen", "This is the time when Zen was taught, and even the ape was influenced?"

"Well, in his later years, people in Dali called him the Old Living Buddha!" ​​The stall owner saw that Yu Yao seemed a little interested, and he became interested:
"He, he first became a monk in Wuwei Temple. There was an eminent monk in the Central Plains with the Buddha name Puming, and he traveled to Dali. Duan Silian was able to worship Master Puming as his teacher, and thus got the Buddha name Guangde..."

"What? Puming Guangde?" Yu Yao suddenly remembered the content on the stone tablet!It turns out that apart from the literal meaning, this is still two Buddha names, one master and one disciple!

"That's right!" The stall owner paused, "Guangde traveled with Puming and traveled all over the world to famous mountains and treasures. He returned to Dali when he was over 60 years old. He built a temple and taught Zen, and he also recruited many disciples."

"En." Yu Yao retracted his thoughts and responded.

"The cliff on this pattern is called Gongluo Cliff. Master Guangde built a Zen platform on Gongluo Cliff, and often gave Zen lectures to his disciples on it. The apes on Gongluo Cliff were also attracted to come to listen to Zen. , and even learned to sit in meditation, and often sent branches as firewood and spiritual herbs to nearby temples; and the monks often fed the apes."

"So that's how it is." Yu Yao thought in his heart, it seems that the cave in the valley of Wuliang Mountain is probably related to this eminent Zen monk!
"How is it? Did you buy it?" The stall owner asked.

"What price?"

"It's not expensive, 2000 yuan. Just now those two insisted on [-] yuan, how can I sell them?"

"How about a discount?"

"I'll give you one thousand and eight, okay?"

"One thousand and two!"

"No, no, one thousand and sixteen, the lowest!"

Yu Yao didn't continue to argue with him, and finally won one thousand and six.

The price of this plate is about [-], and it is impossible to pay for it, but it is not very interesting.If it weren't for the involvement of "Puming Guangde", Yu Yao wouldn't have bought it either.

After taking down the plate, Yu Yao went out of the antique market and checked that it was past three o'clock in the afternoon. Xiao Ying said that he would adjust his breath at noon, and that time had passed, so he went back to the hotel directly.
