    In addition to displaying the offering box, Li Hui also went to get two pieces of jade and two pieces of porcelain. After Meng Zitao's appraisal, they were all genuine. However, except for the offering box, which was worth 180,000 yuan, the remaining jades and porcelain added up to  But it¡¯s worth three hundred thousand.

    In the end, the two parties negotiated and settled the deal for 450,000, of which the porcelain belonged to Chen Zhongfeng, and the jade and the offering box belonged to Meng Zitao.

    After going to a bank not far from the community to transfer money, Meng Zitao and the others left in a car.

    In the car, Chen Zhongfeng said: "Actually, I have seen all five of these things?"

    Meng Zitao was a little strange when he heard this: "Then why didn't you buy it before?"

    Chen Zhongfeng said: "It's not that I don't want to buy it. The key is that the price the original owner asked for is too high. Even people like me can't bear it, let alone others."

    Meng Zitao was confused after hearing this: "According to what you said, how could he sell things to Duan Liangzhen?"

    Chen Zhongfeng said, "This is called doing something wrong"

    It turns out that the original owner of the thing was named Su Hong. He was also in the antique business, and the business was not bad. As a result, last year, he won a big prize when he bought lottery tickets, so he stopped doing business and became obsessed with gambling.

    ¡°You can lose everything if you bet on this thing, and the same goes for Su Hong. In just a few months, he went from being a millionaire to being in debt. In the end, he had no choice but to sell his original collection for money.

    At that time, Chen Zhongfeng also heard the news and wanted to buy it. Unexpectedly, Su Hong thought he was taken advantage of, so Chen Zhongfeng stopped buying it in anger. Unexpectedly, it ended up in the hands of Duan Liangzhen.  Thinking back to Duan Liangzhen's character, he must have tried his best to lower the price at that time.

    After listening to Chen Zhongfeng's story, Meng Zitao felt a little bit in his heart. Chen Zhongfeng was really unlucky, otherwise, he would have had a rare treasure in his pocket.

    Of course, things are hidden very secretly. If you want to discover them, you will need a lot of luck if you don't rely on supernatural powers like Meng Zitao.

    While we were chatting, Meng Zitao received a call from Zheng Zongxian, saying that the seller¡¯s situation was a bit complicated and he wanted to ask Meng Zitao to come and take a look.

    After hanging up the phone, Meng Zitao told Dajun the address Zheng Zongxian said.

    At this time, Chen Zhongfeng let out a light sigh: "Brother Meng, do you know the owner of this address?"

    Meng Zitao replied: "I don't know him. It's just that this guy committed a crime. I'll go take a look. What, do you know this guy?"

    Chen Zhongfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Of course, I know this guy who turned into ashes, and I bought that Ruci from him!"

    Meng Zitao was a little surprised, but it was expected. It seems that the piece of Ru porcelain is probably also the masterpiece of the porcelain maker!

    Meng Zitao asked: "Can you tell me about him in detail?"

    Chen Zhongfeng said: "This man's name is Guo Dongyu. In fact, I don't know much about him. I only know that he is a fairly well-known collector in our local area. He has a large collection at home, many of which are very precious national treasure-level cultural relics. Only  However, he is quite mysterious, saying that he keeps things in his possessions, but he only sells a handful of them locally and doesn¡¯t buy many.¡±

    Speaking of this, Chen Zhongfeng also felt that something was wrong: "Hey, when you say that, this guy seems to be a bit mysterious! Where did his money and collection come from?"

    Having said this, he looked at Meng Zitao: "Brother Meng, what on earth did he commit?"

    Meng Zitao said: "It is mainly smuggling and selling unearthed cultural relics, and the amount is quite large."

    Chen Zhongfeng said in surprise: "No, I'm quite familiar with Yingdu's business in this area. I've never heard of it. This guy also does this kind of business! This guy hides it really well!"

    Meng Zitao said jokingly: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Duan Liangzhen for this, otherwise the country will definitely suffer great losses."

    Chen Zhongfeng asked: "How to say?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Now I find that he has a recently unearthed tripod in his house. It has hundreds of inscriptions. How precious do you think it is?"

    Chen Zhongfeng¡¯s eyes widened: ¡°No, how dare he do such a thing?¡±

    Meng Zitao said: "He is just the person in charge of the transfer, and he is considered a relatively important person in charge."

    Chen Zhongfeng felt a little emotional about this, and then asked a little embarrassedly: "Can I go later?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "If the news is leaked, you will be responsible. And to tell you the truth, it is best not to spread what I just told you just now, otherwise, I will not be able to save you."

    Chen Zhongfeng¡¯s expression was a little solid: ¡°I¡¯m talking about Brother Meng, since we can¡¯t talk about this matter; Meng Zitao observed carefully, mesmerized, and it took more than an hour before he stood up and moved his joints with some unfinished thoughts.

    Meng Zitao noticed Zheng Zongxian standing next to him and said apologetically: "Brother Zheng, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

    Zheng Zongxian smiled and said it didn't matter: "This is a normal thing. If I didn't have something to deal with, I would definitely appreciate it as carefully as you do. By the way, is this thing right?"

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Of course it is a real thing. I think the production period should be in the late Shang Dynasty. However, I am not familiar with the inscriptions on it. You can only ask others to decipher it."

    Zheng Zongxian said happily: "Understood, when this matter is settled, we will ask experts to decipher it. By the way, I hope you can help take a look at the remaining items. The precious cultural relics need to be cleaned out."

    "It's a matter of duty." Meng Zitao agreed with a smile, and then began to sort and sort. This kind of boring work in the eyes of others was an opportunity for him who loved antiques and cultural relics to appreciate and learn.

    After sorting about one-third of the cultural relics, Zheng Zongxian came to tell Meng Zitao that the things here should be temporarily sealed.

    Meng Zitao was a little surprised: "Why did it suddenly have to be temporarily sealed again?"

    Zheng Zongxian shook his head: "I don't know why the superiors suddenly gave such an order, but it's late now anyway. Let's go back to eat and take a rest. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow."

    "Okay." Although Meng Zitao couldn't figure it out, since it was an order from above, there must have been some considerations, and he could only accept it. It just so happened that he was also anxious to find out the rare treasure in the offering box.

    "By the way, has Guo Dongyu said anything about the porcelain maker?"

    Zheng Zongxian shook his head: "He is now ready to fight to the end and not disclose any information. There is nothing we can do about him for the time being."

    Meng Zitao had no suggestions in this regard and said, "If you have any news, please inform me as soon as possible."

    "It should be"

    After dinner, Meng Zitao and Dajun returned to the hotel to rest. During the period, Meng Zitao also called Zheng Anzhi and told him about the matter.

    Without taking out the offering box, he took down the top layer, which was similar to the top of the tower. Meng Zitao's goal was inside.

    Meng Zitao picked up a knife and fiddled with it. After a while, he pulled out a flake, and then rolled out something like a red pearl.

    Meng Zitao frowned and looked at it carefully: "Pearl? By the way, it's a red pearl!"

    Red Pearls are one kind of true pearls, one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, namely Red True Pearls. However, different scriptures translate the seven treasures differently. In some sayings, the Seven Treasures do not include true pearls.

    Volume 10 of "The Theory of Great Wisdom" says: "True pearls come out of the bellies of fish, bamboos, and snakes' brains." Volume 1 of "The Theory of the Buddha's Earth Sutra" says: "The pearls that come out of red worms are called red pearls, or pearls with red bodies are named red.  pearl."

    Real pearls are generally light mouse-colored or gray, while red pearls refer to beads with a slight red color.  Pure red pearls are extremely rare.  Sanskrit Bomo Luojia, Huayan Chizhenzhu.  The Buddha's theory says: Red worms come out.  The Great Wisdom says: This treasure comes from the belly of a fish, from the middle of a bamboo, or from the brain of a snake. Its color is bright and translucent, and it is the most extraordinary, so it is called a treasure.  The two records fully demonstrate that red pearls are obviously not the so-called red pearls now, but refer to something else.

    First, we need to understand what the red worms in the "Buddha Earth Sutra" refer to.  Red has many meanings.  It is usually said that red means red, but it also has other meanings, including light (Chi clan: killing the light clan), showing (shirtless, barefoot) loyalty, etc. In addition, it also had a more obvious meaning in ancient times,  That means south.  Because red also represents the color of the south.

    Therefore, the red mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures may be the guide.  Bug, I understand.  One of the radicals of Chinese characters, the word starting from "worm" is mostly related to insects, snakes, etc.  Note: The word "worm" in the oracle bone characters looks like a snake. The original reading is hui, which means a venomous snake.  The latter is the simplified form of "worm".  Original meaning: The general name for insects. This is the explanation in the Chinese dictionary. It shows that the word "worm" originally represented a kind of snake, that is, an adder. In modern times, it is called a viper.  But it also means a snake in general.

    At the same time, the word "worm" also means fish.  Then these written documents may prove one thing, that is, words will have different meanings as time changes.  Perhaps this can explain why the "Buddhist Sutra" only says that red pearls are produced from red worms, while the "Great Wisdom" mentions three species (fish, snake, bamboo). It may be due to different times.  problem.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
