Just when Zhang Jing was waving banknotes to impress Lao Daijin, it was early morning in Western Xinjiang.
In the middle of the night, Xu Zehong put on his coat and sat at his desk, studying the pictures of Buddha statues that Zhang Jing had sent before.
There are thousands of Buddha statues in the world, but this one looks no different. Only four lines of Buddhist scriptures may hold clues.
The supreme and profound Dharma,
Encountered millions of catastrophes;
Now I can accept and uphold what I have seen and heard,
I wish to understand the true meaning of Tathagata.
After all, he is an associate professor, and at his age he has made many friends, including knowledgeable Buddhists.
I'm forwarding the photo, hoping there will be some clues.
Then he asked a calligrapher to sign the handwriting.
This process was very slow. About ten hours later, at midnight in Seattle, Zhang Jing received a call from Xu Zehong in the middle of the night.
"The appraisal fee is 3,000 RMB," Xu Zehong complained on the phone. "I invited four friends to confirm its identity."
"no problem."
Zhang Jing haha, he doesn’t have much now, he just has a lot of money, so he readily agreed.
"The four lines of Buddhist scripture on the lotus base are the opening verses written by Wu Zetian for the Huayan Sutra."
"What is Kai Jing Gao?" Zhang Jing didn't understand.
"Similar to the 'introduction', there is an allusion in it."
"Isn't it a legend?"
"It's not a legend," Xu Zehong said seriously, "What I told you is supported by ancient books."
"What allusion do you think?"
"Wu Zetian was proficient in Buddhism, especially fond of the Avatamsaka Sutra. She always felt that the translation of the Avatamsaka Sutra at that time was incomplete; so she sent a special envoy to ancient Indian land to seek scriptures, and invited Master Shishananda to come to the Tang Dynasty Translation of the Huayan Sutra;
After the translation, Wu Zetian had some insights when she read the Huayan Sutra for the first time, so she wrote an opening verse for this sutra that has been passed down to this day. "
Zhang Jing laughed loudly and didn't believe it at all: "You don't want to say that this Buddha was worshiped by Wu Zetian, right?"
"Wu Zetian left a lot of handwritten Buddhist scriptures," Xu Zehong said with a very strict attitude and a serious tone, "I asked two master calligraphers to identify them. The handwriting of the four opening verses is 100% determined to be written by the empress. "
Zhang Jing was stunned.
"Zhang Jing," Xu Zehong's voice became pitiful, "That is a national treasure, please donate it."
"Is it possible that it's fake?" Zhang Jing asked, "How could it be in the hands of Thais?"
"The Tang Dynasty's national power was at its peak during Wu Zetian's period, and there was an Annan Festival envoy in the south. It is not surprising that he lived in Thailand."
"How much is it worth?" Zhang Jing asked with concern.
"National treasure cannot be measured by money," Xu Zehong said sincerely.
Zhang Jinghehe, Lao Xu is so old, his wife takes expensive imported medicine every day, and she is quite sentimental.
Someone didn't think about it at all, hung up the phone and transferred the 2,700RMB appraisal fee to Xu Zehong. He couldn't sleep most of the night, so he took out the Buddha statue and looked at it carefully.
More than 1,300 years ago, did Wu Zetian look at this Buddha statue like this in the middle of the night?
No matter how short of money he may be in the future, Zhang Jing will not sell it. When the time comes, he will build a private museum. Ten RMB per person for admission is not excessive, right?

There was a sound of the straw being stepped on, Zhang Jing put the statue of Buddha into the silver secret space, and an M1911 pistol appeared in his hand.
Light weight, fast rate of fire, and powerful.
Then a dark figure appeared at the door of the stable. I couldn't see clearly, but I was sure it was Qu Xiaoqing.
Feeling relieved, Zhang Jing quietly put away his pistol and asked with concern: "Is Jiaqi back?"
"No, she can't accept the fact that she has that disease." The black shadow answered standing at the door.
"Then what are you doing here?" Zhang Jingyan asked bluntly.
"Let me see those two vixens. Are they on your bed?"
The 'two vixens' refer to Liang Jieshu and Zhou Mansha.
"Crazy," Zhang Jing said angrily, "Why did you check my phone before?"
"snort!"
Qu Xiaoqing knew he was wrong, but refused to bow his head.
"Is that what Ding Jiaqi meant?"
Qu Xiaoqing was just willful and not stupid. He decisively raised his right hand and said, "I swear, this has nothing to do with Ding Jiaqi."
Ignoring Qu Xiaoqing, there were still two hours before dawn, and Zhang Jing got up and went for a run since he couldn't sleep.
Jogging until dawn, sweating profusely.
At 6:30 in the morning, at the gate of the racecourse, Zhang Jing met Ageeth who was coming to work. He was driving a bright light blue Martin coupe and wearing sunglasses that covered his face. He looked cynical and chic.
Ageeth translates Ageeth, who has smooth blond hair, a personality that is all about money, and a spiritualist.
Characteristics: A talented trainer who takes his work very seriously, which is why he came here so early to prepare for Saturday's final.
"We have some breaking news." Aigis stopped the car in front of Zhang Jing and said hello.
"What?"
"Someone used dirty methods to forcefully purchase the 23-acre estate at No. 1049 84th Avenue with a real value of 40 million yuan."
"Fake news." Zhang Jing didn't blush at all.
"It's not false news," Aigis said firmly, "The owner of Manor No. 1049 personally told the neighbors that my grandmother also lives on 84th Avenue."
Zhang Jing chuckled.
Unexpectedly, Aigis showed a yearning expression, and her words were full of admiration, "I like that buyer. He bought a 40 million real estate with only 10 million. It is really amazing. It would be great if I could marry him. "
When Zhang Jing thought of marrying Aigis, many idioms came to mind: a den of snakes and rats, collusion between officials and businessmen, and back-and-forth.
"What if the buyer is a seventy-year-old man?" Zhang Jing asked jokingly.
"What does that matter?" Aigis was not ashamed, "If you can marry him, you can still inherit his inheritance."
Seeing Aigis's seriousness, Zhang Jing had the illusion that this woman was very nice - she had a real temperament!
If there was nothing else to do, Zhang Jing warned, "Qu Xiaoqing is at the racecourse, so you are not allowed to fight."
"Where's Ding Jiaqi?"
"She is still in the Dragon Kingdom."
"Haha," Aigis laughed, "She is so brave, she actually dares to let you go."
Zhang Jing's expression was dark.
Aigis stepped on the accelerator and left.
Run back to the stables, there is hot water here, take a shower and start breakfast.
Thanks to Haifa, a 17-year-old Lemanen refugee who works as a racecourse jockey, nutritionist and also makes breakfast.
I would also like to thank 19-year-old Milika. Although she suffers from depression and weighs 260 pounds, she always enthusiastically helps Haifa pick vegetables and help with cooking.
Twenty sheets of roasted naan weighing half a catty, a large iron pot of vegetable soup, and a basin of ham.
Everyone's breakfast is here.
Most of the time, you can't finish it, and the leftovers will not be wasted and used as part of the dog's food to supplement it.
Eight sled dogs and Smarties.
The staple food of the nine dogs is fish paste. They buy it in a bucket of 50 kilograms and only cost about eight meters for a meal. It is easy to raise and not expensive.
Occasionally, I will also feed them various amino acids, calcium powder, whole grains, etc. that Sanma eats.
They also have jobs. The dog trainer Ryan trained them to guard the house and the yard, and the results were very good.
The best training effect is naturally Smart Bean, whether it is finding objects, overcoming obstacles, long-distance running, swimming, rescue, or listening to instructions, everything is excellent.
Ryan even wanted to buy it for 2,000 yuan, which made Zhang Jing dumbfounded.
