And that's not all. The girl who was injected with mercury and had her entire human skin removed would have her leg bones knocked off to make a drumstick.
In the eyes of those lamas, the drums made with such cruel methods are the ones that can make people's soul transcend life and death, jump out of reincarnation, and obtain final salvation.
Take these two drums away!
Looking at the Buddha statue in his hand, Xiao Bai was firm in his mind.
He had already seen two somewhat broken drumsticks in the corner.
Seeing that the Buddha statue in his hand, which looked very much like a genuine one, did not cause the system to issue any reminder, Xiao Bai couldn't help but have a wry smile on his face.
It seemed that the purpose of Batu's bringing him here was these two Buddha statues.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have brought myself a Qing Dynasty Buddha statue made of the same old copper when I was downstairs. The materials and modeling techniques of the two Buddha statues are so similar.
If I didn't own the system, I would definitely think that this was a real Tibetan antique Buddha statue, just like the one with poor workmanship that I saw downstairs.
After a while, Xiao Bai put down the Buddha statue in his hand and picked up another larger Buddha statue, which was twenty centimeters high.
【Ding. 】
[The identification was successful. It is a Tibetan Buddhist statue from the Republic of China period. It was gilded with silver in the later period and contains a collection. It consumes 200 cultural preservation points. 】
Looking at the gilded bronze Buddha statue in his hand, Xiao Bai secretly smiled bitterly. It seems that this is indeed a trap. Now we have to see what Batu said.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai greeted Batu who was not far away.
"Hey, brother, what's the price of this Buddha statue? I have someone in my family who believes in Buddhism, and I just want to buy one."
Xiao Bai probably guessed Batu's purpose, and simply deliberately acted as if he wanted to find something wrong.
"Um?"
"Eh? Why did this statue come here? I'm sorry, brother, this was enshrined in my home before. It has been enshrined since my great-grandfather's generation."
"I couldn't find it before I cleaned up the old house and moved it to another place. I didn't expect that I accidentally put it here. I'm sorry, but this statue is not for sale."
Although Batu didn't say the year, it provided a lot of room for imagination.
After saying that, Batu reached out to take the Buddha statue that was held by Xiao Bai.
Feeling the subtle strength on the Buddha statue, Xiao Bai knew in his heart that the other party had no intention of taking the Buddha statue away from his hands.
All of this is indeed a trap, and the target is young people like me who seem to be half-informed.
But at this moment, Xiao Bai still had to continue the play for the sake of those two drums.
"Hey, brother, don't move."
"Do you think that the reason why I found this Buddha statue is because of my fate?"
"So, since he is destined to me, you have to give in to me, and I am indeed extremely interested in your Tibetan culture."
"Let's do this, brother, I won't play tricks with you. This Buddha statue, the horns, the bow, the prayer wheel, plus these two drums under my feet, together with the drumsticks, I will give you 120,000 2. I only have so much money. After buying these things, I only have the money for the return ticket."
Hearing that Xiao Bai actually offered such a price, a light flashed in Batu's eyes.
He knew the few things Xiao Bai mentioned by heart. The prayer wheel was bought at a flea market for only one or two thousand yuan. The bow and arrows were ordinary goods. He also couldn't buy the yak horns given to him by his relatives. Two thousand dollars.
The two drums and drumsticks at Xiao Bai's feet have been passed down from his family for a long time.
But he has been doing this deceptive business for so long, and no one is interested in these two objects. The reason why they are placed here is entirely to better block the deliberate arrangement of them below. Buddha statue.
As for the Buddha statue in Xiao Bai's hand, he also bought it from an old man who was also a Tibetan. The price was 500 yuan and it was from the Republic of China. He knew it before, but the gilt silver on the Buddha statue came from him later. It was made on purpose. It's silver. It costs five or six yuan per gram. It doesn't even cost a gram in total.
If this deal can be completed, I will just buy two more broken drums or boxes.
But he didn't show too much urgency. Instead, he pretended to be confused and hesitant, and nodded after a while.
"Okay, we are Tibetan-Han family members, and I am willing to help you with this."
"Please go back and worship it properly. After all, this is an object passed down from my ancestors."
After hearing what Batu said, Xiao Bai stopped talking nonsense, opened the payment software and transferred 122,000 in three installments.
Asking Batu to find a rag, Xiao Bai pocketed the bow and arrows, horns, prayer wheels and two drums in the rag. He carefully put the Buddha statue into his backpack.
When Batu saw Xiao Bai's operation, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
A Buddha statue worth 500 yuan is still considered a treasure.
I really want to thank Bodhisattva for blessing me for this transaction today. After completing this transaction, I can take a good rest for a few months.
…
After leaving Batu's house, Xiao Bai circled the neighborhood twice more to make sure no one was following him before taking a taxi back to the hotel.
I walked to the parking lot and placed the two drumsticks firmly in the trunk of the vehicle.
The two of them came by car, but on the way back, Xiao Bai planned to check the car back to the imperial capital, and he and the others would fly back.
Driving back after a nearly 4,000-kilometer journey would be too tiring, and it would really give him some back pain.
Not ready to tell his sister that he bought two Ah Jie drums, Xiao Bai called Xia Keke and asked Xia Keke to go down to the parking lot to get her personal luggage, and then started calling the tow truck.
After finishing all this, when I returned to the room, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.
The two simply went out to have some dinner and took a lot of night scenes of Lhasa, which brought the trip to an end.
After returning to the room and taking a shower, Xiao Bai was thinking of taking the power bank out of his bag to charge it, but suddenly he saw the statue of the Republic of China Buddha still in his bag.
He took it out and looked at it, then rubbed it on the silver gilt. When he saw some silver shavings falling off, Xiao Bai couldn't help but shook his head.
What a trap.
But I heard from the system that there seems to be something hidden here.
Thinking of this, Xiao Bai turned the Buddha statue over and looked at the bottom of the Buddha statue.
After pressing it a little, he found that it was just a thin layer of copper. Xiao Bai thought for a moment, took out the key, and opened it without much effort.
As the seal opened, there was a crackle.
Several oil paper bags of various sizes fell on the table.
this……
Looking at the pile of oil-paper bags, Xiao Bai was a little dumbfounded.
After opening them one by one, Xiao Bai was stunned.
This, it seems, is not a big loss? ? ? ?
As the oil paper packets were opened one by one, a gold bean the size of a fingernail, a small piece of silver that had turned black, carnelian, clams, pearls, coral, and a piece of red-skinned old honey weighing about fifty grams were revealed. wax.
I'm rough...
Could it be that I misunderstood Batu?
The prices of gold, silver, coral, pearls, and clams may not be high because they are too small.
But old beeswax of this weight and quality costs over 2,000 per gram.
I estimate it’s about 50 grams, isn’t it one hundred thousand?
So, no loss? !
Originally, Xiao Bai chose this Buddha statue to admit his loss and took away the two-faced sister drum. After returning to the imperial capital, he decided whether to donate it to a museum or how to deal with it.
But now, could it be that good people are rewarded? Force yourself not to lose money?
After playing with this piece of warm old beeswax, Xiao Bai fell asleep without knowing it.
