    Seeing everyone's anxious look, Chu Chen smiled and said, "Let's eat first. There's nothing we can do here." Everyone thought it right, so they ate dinner in a hurry and went to Uncle Wu's shop.  inside.  Chu Chen picked up the Buddha statue that he had just put aside, put it on the counter, gently wiped the Buddha statue with a rag, and then pointed out the location of the gap to everyone. Everyone used a magnifying glass to observe it carefully.  Everyone is amazed at the exquisite craftsmanship and how it can achieve such a perfect fit.  After Uncle Wu put down the magnifying glass, he said to Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, you did observe very carefully. Tell me what you thought at the time?" Of course Chu Chen can't say that he discovered the abnormality because of his superpower, so  He stated the reasons he had thought of before.  "I discovered this Buddha statue accidentally. I was a little disappointed when I saw it for the first time. But after thinking about it again, I noticed some problems. I heard Uncle Zhao say before that Li's hometown was not only Shanxi merchants  , is from a scholarly family, and is also involved in antiques, so he shouldn't buy such a Buddha statue with ordinary carvings. " "Even if someone in the family was a Buddhist and bought this Buddha statue, why is there no incense mark at all?  I guessed that this Buddha statue must have a hidden meaning, so I found this gap. "The real situation is actually similar to what Chu Chen said. After Uncle Li's grandfather hired someone to make this Buddha statue, he had not yet seen it.  When he revealed the secret, he suddenly suffered a stroke and died.  Later, Uncle Li also wondered if there was something wrong with it, but maybe it was luck. Today, he didn't find the gap, and Chu Chen got an advantage for nothing.  After hearing this, Uncle Wu said happily: "Okay, it's reasonable and well-founded, so picking up leaks is also a technical job. Xiao Chen, you have to remember that in our antique business, we need to use our brains more and use our brains well, so that we can eliminate the false and preserve the true to the maximum extent."  . Okay, let¡¯s take a look now to see what¡¯s inside this Buddha statue.¡± After speaking, Uncle Wu took out a three- to four-inch scraper and gently scraped the gap until it came out.  After scratching the head and tail of the gap, he began to scrape gently in a horizontal position. After scraping for about ten minutes, the covering layer on the surface of the gap was removed.  At this time, the back of the Buddha statue can be clearly seen, inlaid with a rectangular wooden board.  But everyone was dumbfounded after seeing it, because the gap is so small that even a thin needle may not be inserted into it. How can the embedded board be taken out?  At this time, everyone looked at each other and couldn't harden. In case the baby in it, it would be worth it.  Seeing this, Chu Chen reluctantly took out a magnifying glass and looked at the gap. At this time, it was not his character to sit back and wait for death. When he saw the position one inch from the bottom on the right side, he suddenly discovered something different.  "Eh!" Chu Chen let out a light sigh, picked up the scraper on one side, and started scraping it gently. After a while, a small hole was made. This small hole was only one centimeter away from the gap. Maybe just now  Uncle Wu shaved a few more times, and he no longer felt helpless.  Seeing this, Zhao Xueyi said excitedly: "Yes, yes, this should be the mechanism." Uncle Wu quickly rummaged through the box and found a needle of about the same size. Chu Chen took it and gently inserted it into the small hole.  , and soon encountered a trace of resistance, and with a little force, with a soft sound of "porphyry", the board was ejected and fell into Chu Chen's hands.  Seeing this, Zhao Xueyi sighed with emotion: "It's really amazing. I didn't expect that the mechanism at that time could be so exquisite. It's a pity that this craft has almost been lost." This kind of mechanism is indeed extraordinary. It is a very complex kind of mechanism in ancient China.  There are very few people who even know about this hidden method, even if you don¡¯t know how to make it. It has a very vivid name "Du Zhong Tang".  Now this belly hall is relatively simple, but there is also a more complicated one. The small hole is a lock, which can only be opened with a corresponding needle. There is also a destruction device inside. If you force it, the objects inside will be destroyed.  will be self-destructed.  After removing the wooden board, there was a thick layer of cotton stuffed inside. This layer of cotton was to prevent the collection inside from making noise. After cleaning the cotton, there were two kits inside.  There were two items in one of the kits. Chu Chen opened the kit and carefully poured out the items. After a closer look, he saw that they were two gold ingots.  Zhu Dafu took two gold ingots and observed them carefully. The gold ingots were engraved with the words "Xin", "Tian", "Qiu Tianbao", "Zuchi" and Double Happiness. They were very exquisite. He smiled and said: "  Okay, two gold ingots from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. They are of exquisite quality. Just these two things are enough.More than ten times more.  " After saying that, Zhu Dafu handed two gold ingots to Uncle Wu and the others for viewing. They both nodded happily after seeing it. Chu Chen was also very happy at this time. In this way, most of the rent will be paid.  , but he was also a little strange in his heart, why didn't the superpower react to the gold ingot? He couldn't figure it out, so he was about to open the other tip bag. At this time, he was full of expectations for this tip bag, knowing what was inside.  The smell was very abundant. This kit felt a little soft. Chu Chen carefully poured out the contents. The first thing he saw was a layer of cotton. After removing the cotton, an unusually beautiful jade plaque appeared quietly.  Lying on it ¡°Let me see!  "Zhu Dafu came forward anxiously, carefully took the jade plaque into his hand, took out a magnifying glass and observed it carefully. "This is a jade plaque with a height of about five centimeters. Judging from its carving technique, it should be  A piece of Zigang tablet. Zigang, also known as Zigang, was born in Wumen in the south of the Yangtze River. He was a famous jade carving artist active in Suzhou during the Jiajing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty. He was also the most famous art master in the history of Chinese jade carving.  . Zigang jade carving changed the outdated and tacky jade of the Ming Dynasty. With exquisite jade materials and superb jade carving techniques, he integrated the art of seals, calligraphy and painting into the art of jade carving, and raised the Chinese jade carving craft to a new artistic realm.  He has created many exquisite or ingenious jade carvings, among which a jade hairpin alone is "worth fifty-six gold", and the jade signs he created are even more admirable. They are made of square or jade pendants.  It is rectangular, broad and solid, just like a brand, so it is called "Zigang (Gang) Brand" for short. The special charm of Zigang Brand is reflected in its unique shape, exquisite jade quality and fine carving.  Appreciating the artistic style of Lu Zigang jade carvings, Zigang brand jade carvings are more expensive than Sanyu jade. Once they were released, they were immediately loved by the government and the public, especially the literati. The supply was often in short supply, forming a large number of imitations.  This style was not only imitated secretly in the Ming Dynasty, but also imitated in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. Today, many jade shops in Suzhou and Yangzhou are still imitating the Zigang brand, and there is still a large market.  Many people have a special liking for the Zigang brand, which shows the far-reaching influence of the Zigang brand. After the Ming Dynasty, there were jade brands made by Zigang instead of Lu Zigang, which were called "Zigang brand" to distinguish them from those made by Lu Zigang himself.  "Zigang Tablet" The Zigang Tablet in Zhu Dafu's hand is a Zigang Tablet. This jade tablet is rectangular in shape, with a perforated top and the same Kui dragon pattern carved on both sides of the hole. The front is embossed with a landscape.  The character, a jade-faced scholar, is chanting to the wind and the moon under the bamboo, giving people a feeling of "the sound of bamboo, rain, pine, and the sound of books in the moonlight". On the other side, there are poems and famous inscriptions engraved on it.  The jade tablet has superb craftsmanship, fine carving, elegant and fresh, the characters depicted are vivid, the poems on the back are elegant and smart, and the knife can carve out the meaning of the pen and ink. Although it is not as good as Zigang, it is not far behind this jade.  The jade is of excellent quality. It is a very rare mutton-fat white jade seed material. It is crystal white, delicate and moist, and the entire jade quality is almost flawless. It can be said that it is the best of the best. After Zhu Dafu couldn't put it down and handed the jade plaque to Zhao Xueyi, he sighed with emotion.  He said: "This Zigang tablet, judging from its patina and other characteristics, should be a work made during the Qianlong period. Judging from its jade quality and carving work, it should be a fine product carefully carved for Qianlong.  " "This Zigang tablet, not to mention the quality of the jade, but in terms of carving, is the best carving I have seen so far, except for Lu Zigang himself.  What is even more commendable is that the quality of this Zigang brand jade is actually flawless mutton-fat white jade, which makes it even more precious. It is really an extremely rare fine product.  ¡± After everyone took turns to appreciate this Zigang tile, they were all amazed at its exquisiteness. Although the jade tile felt a bit raw because it had not been played with for many years, it can still be seen that as long as it is carefully played for some time, it can be restored to its original shape.  At this time, Zhu Dafu said to Chu Chen with a charming smile: "Xiao Chen, let's talk about it, how about giving this Zigang card to Uncle Fu?  " Before Chu Chen could answer, Zhao Xueyi said first: "Lao Zhu, you are so unkind. You have already got a set of furniture today. Of course it is my turn to get the Zi Gang Pai.  Zhu Dafu glared angrily and said, "Fuck you, you easily made more than 100,000 today, and you still want to rob me. Besides, at my age, you still don't know how to carry forward the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young."  " Zhao Xueyi chuckled and said: "When you meet the baby you like, you don't care so much.  Zhu Dafu clasped his fists and begged: "Old Zhao, please give it to me, or you can pick two from my collection tomorrow."???  " Zhao Xueyi said heartily: "Really?  Can you choose anything?  Zhu Dafu said with a heartbroken face: "Let's discuss this later, as long as it doesn't exceed thirty (ten thousand)."  "
