"Hey buddy, what are you doing here?"
A voice suddenly rang out, waking Yang Jing up from his contemplation.
Yang Jing looked up, but found that it was the boss who had just sold him the Longquan Brother Kiln flower mouth plate and the pair of Ru porcelain fragments.
The guy was riding a big three-wheeled cart with a lot of things wrapped in colored striped cloth on it, and he was looking at himself with a smile.
"Yo, it's nothing, it's just that I was thinking about things just now."
Yang Jing smiled and then stood up.
As a result, when he stood up, his legs suddenly felt sore, and he almost didn't stand firm and fell on his heels.
"Yo, you have to be careful, you've been squawing for a long time, and the blood in your legs is blocked."
The stall owner was quick-eyed, sat on the seat of the car and grabbed Yang Jing, and said to Yang Jing with a smile.
"Thank you!
I didn't expect that after squatting for so long, this leg became numb.
Yang Jing smiled and thanked him, and then slowly stood firm.
"Let's go, let's go inside, it's been open for ten minutes.
I was a little farther away, or I would have squeezed in by now. ” Yang Jing raised his hand to look at his watch, only to find that it was indeed 4:40, and he had been squatting for twenty minutes unconsciously.
"Well, you go in first, and I'll walk in after that."
Yang Jing said to the stall owner.
The boss smiled and waved his hand, and with a force on his legs, he pedaled three wheels into the market through the gate.
Yang Jing also shook his head and walked behind towards the gate across the road.
It was the darkest time of the day, and the huge Panjiayuan thrift market was dark except for two high-hanging light bulbs at the door, which illuminated the small area near the door.
Even if you walk into the market, it is still dark and you can't see anything clearly, but at this time the market has been completely lively, especially in the greenhouse area, hundreds of small light bulbs are combined to illuminate, which also makes the greenhouse area somewhat bright, countless figures gather in the greenhouse area, under the dim light, it really seems to be a shadow of a ghost.
Just received three treasures with a wide door and a bunch of more precious Ru porcelain fragments, which made Yang Jing more confident in the ghost market of this era.
Tightening his backpack, Yang Jing walked into the greenhouse area with the flow of people.
As he walked, Yang Jing slowly stopped, and finally, he stopped in front of a stall.
This stall sells a variety of items made of bamboo, wood, tooth, and horn, and there are many kinds of items.
In addition, on the edge of this stall, there are several Buddha statues of different shapes.
What caught Yang's eye was not anything else in the stall, but a statue of a Buddha that was less than 50 centimeters tall with four arms that seemed to be dancing.
Judging from the faintly visible reflected light, this Buddha statue should be a bronze statue, but the posture of this bronze Buddha statue is really too different from the posture of the Buddha statue that you usually see.
Buddhism has an important place in Chinese history, and many monarchs have destroyed Buddhas in history, but there are also many more emperors who are devout followers of Buddhism.
As for the common people of China, Buddhism is a sect that can be compared with Taoism, and it is very widespread, and it is even no exaggeration to say that Buddhism has a more powerful status in the minds of the Chinese people than Taoism.
If you ask them who the ancestors of Taoism are, they may not know, but if you ask them Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is almost nothing they don't know.
That's the great thing about Buddhism.
Therefore, in the past dynasties, the Buddha statues are often seen, from the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, to the Yungang Grottoes, Longmen Grottoes, from only a few centimeters high miniature Buddha to more than 70 meters high Leshan Buddha, the number of Buddha statues in China can be described as numerous.
But these Buddha statues in China, most of them are dignified shapes, even if it is the thousand-armed Guanyin Bodhisattva, although the dense arms make people look a little worried, but the appearance of the Guanyin Bodhisattva is extremely dignified.
The Buddha statue in front of him deviates from the traditional dignified and generous Chinese Buddha statues.
The Buddha carved by this Buddha statue seems to be dancing, the right leg is bent and alone on the ground, the left leg is sitting in the void in a two-legged posture, the left arm is bent, the left hand is level with the shoulder, and the hand is holding an object similar to the shape of a jade bi, while the right hand of the Buddha statue makes the same movement, but the hand is holding a cylindrical object.
The worst thing is that this Buddha has not only two arms, it has four arms!
In addition to the original two arms, one arm has grown on each of the left and right shoulders of this Buddha.
The palm of the right arm also makes a posture of standing upward, with four fingers bent and the palm forward.
As for the extra arm on the left, the arm is stretched out to the lower right, and the palm is directly below the right palm, making a downward erection gesture.
The extra two arms made the gesture of "Kombat III" Xiaobai and Xiaohong using the "Dugan" Qibo Gong The whole bronze statue looks like some kind of ritual is being performed at this Buddha.
If you want to say that the Buddha statue is shaped into a dancing oh no, it should be a ritual posture, and it is not without Buddha sculptures in Chinese history, but suddenly there is a Buddha with four arms and a ritual, what the hell is this?
If there is any reasonable explanation, it is that this Buddha statue is not a Chinese Buddha statue at all, but should be a foreign product.
In particular, the gods with such strange shapes are most likely to have come from India in the south.
India is a rather strange country, strange in all aspects, especially in terms of faith, which makes people speechless.
In the belief of Indians, the number of gods is so large that even they Indians themselves are innumerable, from the three main gods of Brahma, Shiva, and Vishnu to the god of wisdom such as Ganesha, and then to the god of bulls, horses, etc., etc., it seems that as long as it is an animal, it can become a god in the minds of Indians.

What, even a monkey can become a monkey god - the monkey god uncle of Little Lori, it seems to be a Bollywood movie Well, it's crooked Anyway, there are many gods in India, and the shapes are also strange.
And the god with four arms in front of him, although the shape is very peculiar, Yang Jing still recognized the true identity of the god shaped by this sculpture at a glance.
That's right, it's not a Buddha statue, but a bronze statue of a god from India, and a bronze statue of Lord Shiva, one of India's three most famous main gods.
Lord Shiva is five-faced, four-armed, and three-eyed, and although this bronze statue in front of me is four-armed, one-sided, three-eyed, its posture is really special.
In India, Shiva often appears in this posture, after all, Shiva is also the legendary god of dance, people know one hundred and eight kinds of dances To make this ritual movement into a dance movement, it is estimated that only this dance god would do this.
The bronze statue of the same style, Yang Jing once saw it in an "Auction Yearbook".
The bronze statue that Yang Jing once saw, called "The Bronze Dancing King Shiva Descending to the Ganges", is a bronze statue from the Chola Dynasty of Tamil Nadu in southern India in the ninth century.
The statue fetched $2.85 million at the 2015 Christie's-Kinsel-Ellsworth Private Sale.
It's just that the bronze statue in Mr.
Ellsworth's collection is only 412 centimeters high, which is almost ten centimeters shorter than the bronze statue in front of him.
The most important thing is that the bronze statue in front of me should not only be bigger, but also in better condition.
The statue of Shiva, the dancing king of the Ganges, collected by Mr.
An Siyuan, has become jet black in color, and the bronze statue in front of him, whether it is pulp or the original copper color, is undoubtedly better.
Obviously, the bronze statue in front of me should have been worshiped for a long time and often wiped by people, so it can be preserved so well.
I just don't know why this bronze statue, which has been enshrined for a long time, ended up in the hands of the dealers in the Panjiayuan thrift market.
There is almost no difference between this bronze statue and the bronze statue in Mr.
Ellsworth's collection, except for the difference in size.
If this bronze statue is genuine, then if it is brought back for auction, it will definitely be able to easily surpass the "Bronze Dancing King Shiva Inheritance of the Ganges River" treasured by Mr.
Ellsworth.
Especially recently, the Indians have really produced several of the world's top tycoons, and this kind of foreign antiques that they don't want to collect but are of high value are quite good if they can be taken back and sold for money.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing pretended not to understand anything and said to the stall owner: "Boss, how do you sell the Buddha statues here?"
I have an elder in my family who likes Buddhism and wants to ask one to come back and worship it. ” The stall owner was happy when he heard this, and the young man in front of him, whether it was his age or the way he spoke, knew at a glance that he was a "bear blind" (rookie), yo, why is the color of this guy's eyes this color?
Could it be crooked nuts?
Haha, I like crooked nuts the most, people are stupid and have a lot of money!
Who will you kill if you don't kill you?
"Hello little brother, the Buddha statues here are all genuine products, you look at this stone Buddha, this is invited from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, you look at this again, this is invited from the Longmen Grottoes" It is said that Yanjing's taxi drivers can be stunted, but Yang Jing thinks that if Yanjing's taxi drivers come to Panjiayuan, they will definitely be stunned by these traffickers in less than ten minutes!
The eloquence of this dealer is called a good one, that is called a gushing ah, that is called a lotus flower with a bright tongue, that is called a guy anyway, this guy spoke for three minutes without stopping, and then he explained the origin of the six or seven Buddha statues on his stall, and even the statue of Shiva, the dancing king, inherited the statue of the Ganges River, and was stunned by this guy to say that he was a bodhisattva invited from Putuo Mountain, a holy place in Buddhism Eventually, the dealer pointed to the so-called Buddha statue invited from the "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes" and said, "Little brother, I see that you are still quite sincere, and the Buddha likes sincere people, so I suggest that you please bring this Buddha statue back." ” Yang Jing thought to himself: "Since you are pretending to be a bear blind, then you can simply pretend to be the end."
So he smiled and asked, "How much is this Buddha statue?"
” "Little brother, please Buddha can't ask how much money, you have committed a taboo.
You should say that I want to give the Buddha 20,000 incense money" Yang Jing rolled his eyes, regretting pretending to be blind in his heart.
Just now, while the boss was verbose, Yang Jing used the holy ring to identify it, and confirmed that this bronze statue was undoubtedly genuine, and it was from the same place and dynasty as the bronze statue treasured by Mr.
An Siyuan.
His sister's, just such a stone Buddha is obviously a stone factory in batches, this guy dared to open his mouth is 20,000, and he didn't have the beautiful name of "incense money for the Buddha"!
Are you a little novice who serves the Buddha?
Yang Jing shook his head, looked at the boss with a smile and didn't speak.
Seeing this, the boss smiled and said: "Little brother, you want to invite the Buddha, there is nothing else to invite the Buddha, sincerity is spiritual, so you can't worry too much about this incense money!"
” "Damn, buddy doesn't want to deal with you, are you still kicking your nose in the face?
Don't force your buddies to use 'good oil roots' for you, and you'll be looking for teeth all over the place!
Yang Jing thought secretly.
Seeing that Yang Jing was still silent, the stall owner continued to flicker: "Little brother, you see that this Buddha statue was invited from Dunhuang, which is a national first-class protected cultural relic, if you want to leave, if you don't come to some incense money, do you think the Buddha can go with you?"
” Yang Jing was amused by this guy, "Boss, are you sure this is the stone Buddha of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang?"
” "Is that still fake?
I'm selling the real stuff here!
” "Well, you just said that this is a national first-class protected cultural relic, and you are selling national first-class protected cultural relics here, aren't you afraid that the public security will invite you to tea?
Although I am a British-Chinese, but I have the blood of our Chinese Han people flowing in my body, you sell our country's first-class protected cultural relics like this, are you not afraid that I will turn around and tell the public security after I buy this Buddha statue?

Or do I simply go to the police now?
” As soon as the boss heard this, his face suddenly changed.
However, Yang Jing did not give him a chance to speak, but continued: "Boss, don't kill me as a blind bear, although I am abroad all the year round, I can also see that your Buddha statue is fresh and steaming, if I am not mistaken, there are many stone factories in Fangshan and Mentougou that have this kind of Buddha statue, how much do I remember?"
Twenty or thirty?
You asked me for 20,000 yuan, which is a bit too much. ” The boss's face changed again, and now he finally stopped talking.
Yang Jing unceremoniously pointed to several other Buddha statues and said, "These Buddha statues should be together with your so-called Buddha statues in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, right?"
Even if it is this bronze statue, it is estimated that it is not a good product.
In the myths and legends of our country, Sun Monkey and Erlang God are all three-headed and six-armed, Chiyou is eight-armed and nine-toed, and there is a thousand-armed Guanyin, but I have never heard of that fairy with four arms?
Could it be that this bronze statue was conceived by a fool out of thin air?
Boss, you have to buy something reliable, you see what kind of bronze statue you entered!
” "Boss, don't you blink to me, I'm British-Chinese, I don't understand the rules in the circle, and I just have something to say, I can't hide things in my heart, none of the things you entered, none of them can stand up to the scrutiny, you still give me 20,000, you really treat me as a big wrongdoer?
Look at you."
The boss's face turned green, if the young man in front of him is from the country and in the circle, he is so noisy, it is a taboo, he, the boss, is beating people, no one can say anything else, who let you talk nonsense?
But as they just said, he is not a person in this circle, and he doesn't even have Chinese nationality, he is a crooked nut, can you expect crooked nuts to obey the rules?
Do you dare to do anything to crooked nuts?
The public security doesn't let you sit in prison, and you are considered to be capable!
"Big brother!
Uncle!
Are you my own uncle?
Please, don't talk about it, okay?
You can give as much as you want."
