"Hey, man, what are you doing squatting here?" a voice suddenly rang, waking Yang Jing from her meditation.
Yang Jing looked up and found that it was the boss who had just sold himself the flower mouth plate of Longquan Ge kiln and the pair of Ru porcelain fragments.
The man was riding a three wheeled scooter with a lot of things wrapped in colored cloth. He was looking at himself with a smile.
"Oh, nothing, just thinking about things." Yang Jing smiled and stood up immediately. As a result, when he stood up, his legs suddenly felt numb and sour. He almost didn't stand firm and fell over.
"Yo, you have to be careful. You've been squatting for a long time, and your blood is blocked on your legs." the stall owner was quick eyed and quick handed. Sitting on the seat of the car, he grabbed Yang Jing and said to Yang Jing with a smile.
"Thank you! I didn't expect that this leg would be numb after squatting for so long." Yang Jing smiled and thanked, and then slowly stood firm.
"Come on, hurry in. It's been open for ten minutes. I was a little far away, or I would have squeezed in now."
Yang Jing raised her hand and looked at her watch. She found that it was already 4:40. Just now she squatted for 20 minutes.
"Well, you go first and I'll walk in later," said Yang Jingchong, the stall owner.
The boss smiled and waved his hand. As soon as he made a force on his legs, he pedaled three rounds and entered the market from the gate.
Yang Jing also shook her head and followed her to the gate across the road.
At this time, it was the darkest time of the day. Except that there were two high hanging bulbs at the door of the huge Panjiayuan secondhand goods market to illuminate a handful of places near the door, other places were also a large black area.
Even when you enter the market, it is still dark and you can't see anything clearly. However, at this time, the market has become completely lively. Especially in the greenhouse area, hundreds of small bulbs are combined for lighting, which makes the greenhouse area more or less bright. Countless shadows gather in the greenhouse area. Under the dim light, it really looks like a ghost shadow.
Just received three open-door treasures and a pile of more precious Ru porcelain fragments, which made Yang Jing more confident in the ghost city of this era. After tightening her shoulder bag, Yang Jing walked into the greenhouse area with the flow of people.
Walking, Yang Jing slowly stopped. Finally, he stopped in front of a stall.
This stall sells all kinds of objects made of bamboo, wood, teeth and horns. There are many kinds of objects. In addition, at the edge of this booth, there are several Buddha statues with different shapes.
What attracted Yang Jing's attention was not other things on the booth, but a Buddha statue less than 50 cm high with four arms that seemed to be dancing.
From the dimly visible reflected light, the Buddha statue should be a bronze statue, but the posture of the bronze Buddha statue is really different from that seen in peace.
Buddhism plays an important role in Chinese history. In history, many monarchs have destroyed Buddhism, but more emperors are devout Buddhist believers. As for the Chinese people, Buddhism is a sect comparable to Taoism. It has spread widely, and even to say nothing exaggerated. Buddhism has even a stronger position than Taoism in the eyes of the Chinese people.
There are many illiterate old ladies and gentlemen in rural China. If you ask them who the ancestor of Taoism is, they may not know, but if you ask them Guanyin Bodhisattva, there is almost nothing they don't know.
This is the power of Buddhism.
Therefore, Buddha statues are often seen in all dynasties. From Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes to Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes, from miniature Buddha statues only a few centimeters high to Leshan Giant Buddha more than 70 meters high, there are countless Buddha statues in China.
However, most of these Buddhist statues in China are dignified. Even the thousand handed Guanyin Bodhisattva's dense arms make people look a little nervous, but the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva is extremely dignified.
The Buddha statue in front of us deviates from the tradition of dignified and generous Chinese Buddha statues. The Buddha carved in this Buddha statue seems to be dancing. The right leg is bent and landed alone, the left leg is in a cross legged position, sitting in the void, the left arm is bent, the left hand is flush with the shoulder, holding an object similar to the shape of jade in the hand, while the right hand of the Buddha statue makes the same action, but it is a cylindrical object in the hand.
Most importantly, the Buddha has more than two arms. It has four arms!
In addition to the original two arms, one arm grew on the left and right shoulders of the Buddha. The palm of the right arm also made a posture of standing up, four fingers bent and palm forward.
As for the extra arm on the left, the arm straightened to the lower right, the palm was directly below the right palm, and made a downward vertical gesture. The extra two arms made the gesture that Xiaobai and Xiaohong used Dugen's Qi wave power in the "quick hit three generations"
The whole bronze statue seems to be holding some kind of ceremony in this Buddha.
To shape the Buddha into a dance... Oh, no, it should be a ritual posture, which is not absent in the Buddha sculptures in Chinese history, but suddenly there is a Buddha with four arms who still performs rituals. 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 imported. In particular, the gods with this strange shape are most likely to come from India in the south.
India is a very wonderful country. It is wonderful in all aspects, especially in faith.
In the belief of Indians, there are so many gods that I'm afraid even Indians themselves can't count. From Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu, the three main gods, to the God of wisdom such as elephant head God, to the God of cattle and horse... It seems that as long as animals can become gods in the eyes of Indians.
Well, even a monkey can become a monkey god - little Lori's monkey god uncle... It's like a Bollywood movie
Well, it's crooked
Anyway, there are many gods in India, and their shapes are strange. Although the shape of the God with four arms in front of him was very strange, Yang Jing recognized the real identity of the God shaped by the sculpture at a glance.
Yes, this is not a Buddha, but a bronze statue of a God from India, and it is also a bronze statue of Shiva, one of the three famous main gods in India.
Shiva has five sides, four arms and three eyes. Although the bronze statue in front of him has four arms, one side and three eyes, its posture is too special.
In India, Shiva often appears in this posture. After all, Shiva is also the legendary god of dance. People can dance 108 kinds
It is estimated that only the dance God will do this by turning this ritual action into a dance action.
Yang Jing once saw a bronze statue of similar style in an auction Yearbook.
The bronze statue that Yang Jing once saw is called "the statue of Shiva, the king of copper dance, descending from the Ganges". It is a bronze statue of the Zhuluo Dynasty from Tamil Nadu in southern India in the ninth century.
The bronze statue once sold at a high price of $2.85 million at the 2015 Christie's Jinse Nianhua ansiyuan private collection auction.
However, the bronze statue collected by Mr. an Siyuan is only 41.2 cm tall, almost 10 cm shorter than the one in front of him. The most important thing is that the bronze statue in front of us should not only be larger, but also have a better appearance.
The color of the statue of Shiva, the dancing king in Mr. an Siyuan's collection, has become black, and the bronze statue in front of him, whether wrapped in pulp or the original copper color, is undoubtedly better. Obviously, the bronze statue in front of us should have been worshipped for a long time and often wiped, so it can be preserved so well.
I just don't know why this bronze statue, which has been worshipped for a long time, will fall into the hands of dealers in Panjiayuan secondhand goods market.
There is almost no difference between this bronze statue and the one in Mr. an Siyuan's collection except in size.
If this bronze statue is genuine, it can easily surpass the "statue of Shiva, the king of copper dance, descending to the world on the Ganges" collected by Mr. an Siyuan. Especially recently, the Indians have indeed produced several world top millionaires. This kind of foreign antiques that they don't want to collect but are of high value is quite good if they can take them back and sell them for money.
Thinking of this, Yang Jing pretended to know nothing and said to the stall owner, "boss, how do you sell the Buddha statues here? There is an elder who likes Buddhism in my family and wants to invite one back to worship."
The stall owner was happy when he heard this. The young man in front of him knew that he was a "bear blind" (Rookie) no matter how old he was or how he spoke. Yo, why is this guy's eye color? Is it a crooked nut?
Ha ha, crooked nuts are my favorite. People are stupid and have a lot of money! Who will you kill if you don't kill you?
"Hello, little brother. All the Buddha statues here are authentic ones of the eight classics. Look at this stone Buddha. Please come from Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Look at this one again. This is from Longmen Grottoes..."
It is said that Yanjing taxi drivers can talk, but Yang Jing thinks that if Yanjing taxi drivers come to Panjiayuan, they will be stunned by these dealers in less than ten minutes!
The dealer's eloquence is called a good one, that's called a gushing one, that's called a lotus with a bright tongue, that's called a... Anyway, the guy kept talking for three minutes before he explained the origin of the six or seven Buddha statues on his stall. Even the dancing king Shiva took over the statue of the Ganges, Also Leng was said by the man to be a Bodhisattva invited from the Buddhist holy land Putuo Mountain
Finally, the dealer pointed to the so-called Buddha statue invited from "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes" and said, "little brother, I think you are quite sincere. The Buddha likes sincere people, so I suggest you take this Buddha statue back."
Yang Jing thought, "since you pretend to be blind, just pretend to be blind." so she smiled and asked, "how much is this Buddha?"
"Little brother, please don't ask the Buddha how much money. You've made a taboo. You should say that I want to offer 20000 incense money to the Buddha..."
Yang Jing rolled her eyes and regretted pretending to be blind. Just now, while the boss was wordy, Yang Jing identified it with the holy ring and confirmed that the bronze statue was undoubtedly genuine, and it came from the same place and the same Dynasty as the bronze statue cherished by Mr. an Siyuan.
His sister's, it's obvious that the stone Buddha came out in batches from a stone factory. The guy dared to open his mouth for 20000, which he didn't have. It's called "incense money for Buddha"! Are you the little monk who serves the Buddha?
Yang Jing shook her head and looked at the boss without talking.
The boss smiled and said, "little brother, you want to invite the Buddha. There's nothing else to invite the Buddha. Sincerity is spirit, so you can't care too much about the incense money!"
"Shit, my buddy doesn't want to argue with you. You're still kicking your nose and face? Don't force my buddy to use 'good oil root' for you and beat you everywhere looking for teeth!" Yang Jing thought to himself.
Seeing that Yang Jing was still silent, the stall owner continued to deceive: "little brother, you see, this Buddha statue was invited from Dunhuang all the way. It is a national first-class protected cultural relic. If you want to go, if you don't want more incense money, do you think the Buddha can go with you?"
Yang Jing was amused by the man. "Boss, are you sure this is the stone Buddha in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes?"
"Is there a fake? I sell real goods here!"
"Well, as you said just now, this is a national first-class protected cultural relics. You are selling national first-class protected cultural relics here. Aren't you afraid that the public security will invite you to drink tea? Although I am a British Chinese, I am bleeding with the blood of our Chinese Han people. If you sell our national first-class protected cultural relics, you are not afraid that I will turn around after buying this Buddha statue Tell the police? Or I'll just go to the police Comrade now? "
When 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've been abroad all year, I can see that your Buddha statue is fresh and steaming. If I'm right, there are many stone factories in Fangshan and Mentougou. How much do I remember? 20 or 30? You want 20000 for me, which is a little unreasonable Come on. "
The boss's face changed again, and now he finally stopped talking.
Yang Jing pointed at the other Buddha statues and said impolitely: "These Buddha statues should have come with your so-called Buddha statues in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes? Even this bronze statue is probably not good. In our country's myths and legends, sun monkey and Erlang God have three heads and six arms, Chi you has eight arms and nine toes, and a thousand arms to watch music, but we have never heard that the immortal has four arms. Who is this bronze statue Melon imagined it out of thin air? Boss, you have to buy something reliable even if you buy it. Look what the bronze statue you bought is! "
"Boss, don't blink at me. I'm a British Chinese and don't understand the rules in the circle. Besides, I can't hide anything in my heart. None of the things you enter can stand scrutiny. You want 20000 back. You really think I'm a big injustice? Look at you..."
The boss's face turns green. If the young man in front of him is domestic and in the circle, he makes such a fuss, it's taboo. His boss just starts to beat people, and no one can say anything else. Who makes you talk nonsense?
But as someone said just now, he is not a person in this circle, and even he does not have Chinese nationality. He is a crooked nut. Can you expect crooked nut to abide by the rules? Do you dare to fight crooked nut?
If the police don't let you sit in prison, you're good!
"Elder brother! Elder brother! Are you my uncle? Please stop talking? You can give me as much money as you want..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

The palm of the right arm also made a posture of standing up, four fingers bent and palm forward.As for the extra arm on the left, the arm straightened to the lower right, the palm was directly below the right palm, and made a downward vertical gesture. The extra two arms made the gesture that Xiaobai and Xiaohong used Dugen's Qi wave power in the "quick hit three generations"The whole bronze statue seems to be holding some kind of ceremony in this Buddha.To shape the Buddha into a dance... Oh, no, it should be a ritual posture, which is not absent in the Buddha sculptures in Chinese history, but suddenly there is a Buddha with four arms who still performs rituals. 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 imported. In particular, the gods with this strange shape are most likely to come from India in the south.India is a very wonderful country. It is wonderful in all aspects, especially in faith.In the belief of Indians, there are so many gods that I'm afraid even Indians themselves can't count. From Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu, the three main gods, to the God of wisdom such as elephant head God, to the God of cattle and horse... It seems that as long as animals can become gods in the eyes of Indians.Well, even a monkey can become a monkey god - little Lori's monkey god uncle... It's like a Bollywood movieWell, it's crookedAnyway, there are many gods in India, and their shapes are strange. Although the shape of the God with four arms in front of him was very strange, Yang Jing recognized the real identity of the God shaped by the sculpture at a glance.Yes, this is not a Buddha, but a bronze statue of a God from India, and it is also a bronze statue of Shiva, one of the three famous main gods in India.Shiva has five sides, four arms and three eyes. Although the bronze statue in front of him has four arms, one side and three eyes, its posture is too special.In India, Shiva often appears in this posture. After all, Shiva is also the legendary god of dance. People can dance 108 kindsIt is estimated that only the dance God will do this by turning this ritual action into a dance action.Yang Jing once saw a bronze statue of similar style in an auction Yearbook.The bronze statue that Yang Jing once saw is called "the statue of Shiva, the king of copper dance, descending from the Ganges". It is a bronze statue of the Zhuluo Dynasty from Tamil Nadu in southern India in the ninth century.The bronze statue once sold at a high price of $2.85 million at the 2015 Christie's Jinse Nianhua ansiyuan private collection auction.However, the bronze statue collected by Mr. an Siyuan is only 41.2 cm tall, almost 10 cm shorter than the one in front of him. The most important thing is that the bronze statue in front of us should not only be larger, but also have a better appearance.The color of the statue of Shiva, the dancing king in Mr. an Siyuan's collection, has become black, and the bronze statue in front of him, whether wrapped in pulp or the original copper color, is undoubtedly better. Obviously, the bronze statue in front of us should have been worshipped for a long time and often wiped, so it can be preserved so well.I just don't know why this bronze statue, which has been worshipped for a long time, will fall into the hands of dealers in Panjiayuan secondhand goods market.There is almost no difference between this bronze statue and the one in Mr. an Siyuan's collection except in size.If this bronze statue is genuine, it can easily surpass the "statue of Shiva, the king of copper dance, descending to the world on the Ganges" collected by Mr. an Siyuan. Especially recently, the Indians have indeed produced several world top millionaires. This kind of foreign antiques that they don't want to collect but are of high value is quite good if they can take them back and sell them for money.Thinking of this, Yang Jing pretended to know nothing and said to the stall owner, "boss, how do you sell the Buddha statues here? There is an elder who likes Buddhism in my family and wants to invite one back to worship."The stall owner was happy when he heard this. The young man in front of him knew that he was a "bear blind" Rookie no matter how old he was or how he spoke. Yo, why is this guy's eye color? Is it a crooked nut?Ha ha, crooked nuts are my favorite. People are stupid and have a lot of money! Who will you kill if you don't kill you?"Hello, little brother. All the Buddha statues here are authentic ones of the eight classics. Look at this stone Buddha. Please come from Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Look at this one again. This is from Longmen Grottoes..."It is said that Yanjing taxi drivers can talk, but Yang Jing thinks that if Yanjing taxi drivers come to Panjiayuan, they will be stunned by these dealers in less than ten minutes!The dealer's eloquence is called a good one, that's called a gushing one, that's called a lotus with a bright tongue, that's called a... Anyway, the guy kept talking for three minutes before he explained the origin of the six or seven Buddha statues on his stall. Even the dancing king Shiva took over the statue of the Ganges, Also Leng was said by the man to be a Bodhisattva invited from the Buddhist holy land Putuo MountainFinally, the dealer pointed to the so-called Buddha statue invited from "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes" and said, "little brother, I think you are quite sincere. The Buddha likes sincere people, so I suggest you take this Buddha statue back."Yang Jing thought, "since you pretend to be blind, just pretend to be blind." so she smiled and asked, "how much is this Buddha?""Little brother, please don't ask the Buddha how much money. You've made a taboo. You should say that I want to offer 20000 incense money to the Buddha..."Yang Jing rolled her eyes and regretted pretending to be blind. Just now, while the boss was wordy, Yang Jing identified it with the holy ring and confirmed that the bronze statue was undoubtedly genuine, and it came from the same place and the same Dynasty as the bronze statue cherished by Mr. an Siyuan.His sister's, it's obvious that the stone Buddha came out in batches from a stone factory. The guy dared to open his mouth for 20000, which he didn't have. It's called "incense money for Buddha"! Are you the little monk who serves the Buddha?Yang Jing shook her head and looked at the boss without talking.The boss smiled and said, "little brother, you want to invite the Buddha. There's nothing else to invite the Buddha. Sincerity is spirit, so you can't care too much about the incense money!""Shit, my buddy doesn't want to argue with you. You're still kicking your nose and face? Don't force my buddy to use 'good oil root' for you and beat you everywhere looking for teeth!" Yang Jing thought to himself.Seeing that Yang Jing was still silent, the stall owner continued to deceive: "little brother, you see, this Buddha statue was invited from Dunhuang all the way. It is a national first-class protected cultural relic. If you want to go, if you don't want more incense money, do you think the Buddha can go with you?"Yang Jing was amused by the man. "Boss, are you sure this is the stone Buddha in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes?""Is there a fake? I sell real goods here!""Well, as you said just now, this is a national first-class protected cultural relics. You are selling national first-class protected cultural relics here. Aren't you afraid that the public security will invite you to drink tea? Although I am a British Chinese, I am bleeding with the blood of our Chinese Han people. If you sell our national first-class protected cultural relics, you are not afraid that I will turn around after buying this Buddha statue Tell the police? Or I'll just go to the police Comrade now? "When 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've been abroad all year, I can see that your Buddha statue is fresh and steaming. If I'm right, there are many stone factories in Fangshan and Mentougou. How much do I remember? 20 or 30? You want 20000 for me, which is a little unreasonable Come on. "The boss's face changed again, and now he finally stopped talking.Yang Jing pointed at the other Buddha statues and said impolitely: "These Buddha statues should have come with your so-called Buddha statues in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes? Even this bronze statue is probably not good. In our country's myths and legends, sun monkey and Erlang God have three heads and six arms, Chi you has eight arms and nine toes, and a thousand arms to watch music, but we have never heard that the immortal has four arms. Who is this bronze statue Melon imagined it out of thin air? Boss, you have to buy something reliable even if you buy it. Look what the bronze statue you bought is! ""Boss, don't blink at me. I'm a British Chinese and don't understand the rules in the circle. Besides, I can't hide anything in my heart. None of the things you enter can stand scrutiny. You want 20000 back. You really think I'm a big injustice? Look at you..."The boss's face turns green. If the young man in front of him is domestic and in the circle, he makes such a fuss, it's taboo. His boss just starts to beat people, and no one can say anything else. Who makes you talk nonsense?But as someone said just now, he is not a person in this circle, and even he does not have Chinese nationality. He is a crooked nut. Can you expect crooked nut to abide by the rules? Do you dare to fight crooked nut?If the police don't let you sit in prison, you're good!"Elder brother! Elder brother! Are you my uncle? Please stop talking? You can give me as much money as you want..."
