The old man exclaimed, and turned the bronze statue upside down to observe it carefully.

The lotus base was beautifully carved, and the cover was complete, tightly fitted, and natural.

"This cover method looks familiar, like the long-lost lost wax method!"

He rubbed the cover carefully, brought it very close to his eyes, and looked at it carefully.

"No, it's too dark, I can't see clearly!"

Old Yu pushed the thick glasses on his nose, frowned, turned around and walked towards his workbench.

He walked hurriedly, and his speed was completely beyond his age and body size.

Su An's heart moved, and he hurried to follow.

Although the rest of the crowd was confused, their curiosity prompted them to follow.

As soon as they got closer, they saw Lao Yu cheering excitedly: "Sure enough, I was right. This cap uses the long-lost lost wax method!"

Deng Jianxin saw that he was excited and didn't understand why: "Even if it is the lost lost wax method, there is no need to be so excited. After all, this bronze statue is a high-end imitation. This method can only make the bronze statue sell for more money."

Lao Yu shook his head: "The important thing is not the lost wax method, but the lost wax method can take out the treasures inside without damaging the bronze statue!"

"Treasures?"

"It is the scriptures, jewels and gold inside the Buddha statue. In ancient times, when a Buddha statue was sculpted, a hole would be left behind it. When it was consecrated, the abbot would put scriptures, jewelry, grains and other metals into it. This was called "Zangzang"! In the Ming Dynasty, "Zangzang" became more popular, especially among high-ranking officials. It was especially popular to hide gold and silver in the Buddha statue and then seal it with the lost wax method. In this way, the things inside could be taken out without damaging the Buddha statue, and it could also conceal people's eyes and practice bribery. "

After saying that, he grabbed a sharp knife from the side, aimed at the base of the bronze statue under the bright light, and cut it down.

He made a very careful cut, and cut four times in the middle in a regular manner.

The tip of the knife paused, and it felt like it was inserted into an extremely fine gap.

That's it!

Put force on the wrist.

"Dong!"

With a slight sound, a thin piece of copper was picked up and fell on the table.

As the copper sheet fell, a square hole appeared on the bottom of the statue, with a dark red object stuffed inside.

Su An's body trembled slightly, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The system really didn't lie to me!

Everyone at the scene also widened their eyes and was surprised.

"There is really something inside the statue!"

"Damn, Lao Yu, take out the things inside and see what they are!"

"Didn't you hear what Lao Yu said? It should be gold and jewelry, or it could be a scripture..."

"Whatever it is, take it out and you'll know!"

Shi Jun also urged Lao Yu to take the things out.

Lao Yu was also very excited. He had only guessed that there might be something hidden inside, but he didn't expect that there really was one!

It's strange that there is something hidden inside a high-imitation statue!

He couldn't help but look up at Su An. If Su An hadn't insisted on letting him see it, he wouldn't have thought of this.

This young man is really not an ordinary person!

Thinking in his heart, Lao Yu moved quickly, using the tip of the knife to gently poke inside the bronze statue and pulled the dark red ball out of the hole.

It was a dark red cloth ball the size of an egg.

The cloth ball looked like silk fabric. Although it was severely aged, its original appearance could still be seen clearly.

Lao Yu held the dark red silk cloth ball in his hand and instantly felt something hard poking his hand.

"There's something wrapped in it!"

Lao Yu showed surprise on his face and immediately opened the cloth ball.

A finger-long bead fell out.

The bead was dark brown with a white dot totem on it.

"What is this?!"

"Dzi beads! This is a Dzi bead!!"

"One, two, three... six, seven, eight, nine, there are nine dots, this is not an ordinary Dzi bead, it is a nine-eyed Dzi bead!"

"Damn, nine-eyed Dzi beads? This thing is the king of Dzi beads, the price is extremely high, the asking price is tens of thousands, up to hundreds of thousands!"

"Hundreds of thousands of nine-eyed Dzi beads are all made of ore. The real nine-eyed Dzi beads are the only Dzi beads left after the cremation of the Lama monks. One is worn on the Sakyamuni Buddha statue in the Jokhang Temple, and the other was bought by Kung Fu star Li Lianjie for 20 million!"

The experts were very excited, staring at the Dzi beads in Lao Yu's hand.

Su An was surprised. He didn't expect that there was a Dzi bead hidden in the Buddha statue.

It turned out to be a nine-eyed Dzi bead!

He had heard of this thing, and knew that Tibetans particularly respected it and the price was extremely high. People there would wear Dzi beads, believing that they could avoid disasters!

But he had only heard of some three-eyed and one-eyed Dzi beads, and rarely heard of nine-eyed Dzi beads. This was the first time he saw it!

"Teacher Yu, do you think this nine-eyed Dzi bead is real or fake?"

Su An asked.

Looking at the details of the system, he certainly knew whether this nine-eyed Dzi bead was real, or the kind of Dzi bead that Li Lianjie bought after the cremation of a real monk, which was said to have Buddhist teachings.

"This... I don't quite understand, but I have a Tibetan friend who specializes in Dzi beads, he should know."

Old Yu said.

Before Su An could speak, Shi Jun hurriedly said: "Then call your friend and let him see if this nine-eyed Dzi bead is real or fake!"

If this is true!

Then their auction house will be famous!

"Okay, okay, I'll call him right away."

Lao Yu quickly took out his mobile phone and made a video call to his friend.

"Ding Dong Dong Dong——"

Just after two seconds of ringing, the video call was connected. A Tibetan man wearing Tibetan clothes and with dark skin showing highland red appeared in it. He greeted as soon as he answered:

"Zaxi Deler."

Lao Yu smiled and replied: "Zaxi Deler."

Then he immediately explained his purpose: "Doji, I found a nine-eyed Dzi bead here. You know, I am only proficient in bronze statues, but I know nothing about Dzi beads. You are an expert in Dzi beads, so I would like to ask you to help me look at this Dzi bead."

Doji laughed and said cheerfully: "No problem, I have nothing to do now anyway! Where is the nine-eyed Dzi bead? Let me see it."

"Here, take a look."

Lao Yu placed the Dzi bead on the table, then turned the camera and aimed it at the Dzi bead.

Seeing the nine-eyed Dzi bead appear, Doji's face immediately moved closer to the screen.

"Turn around so I can see the back."

"Move the camera closer so I can take a closer look..."

"Bang--"

The sound of a stool being knocked over came from the phone.

Before Lao Yu could ask, the next second, Duoji's excited voice came over: "Really, this is a real nine-eyed Dzi bead! It can't be wrong. I often go to the Jokhang Temple to worship Buddha and burn incense. This nine-eyed Dzi bead is exactly the same as the one worn by the Sakyamuni Buddha! It can't be wrong. I have seen it for so many years, and I can guarantee that this is definitely a real nine-eyed Dzi bead! Lao Yu, where did you get this nine-eyed Dzi bead? I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen a nine-eyed Dzi bead outside the Jokhang Temple! This can't be the nine-eyed Dzi bead worn by your celebrity surnamed Li, right?"
