    Hou Yuanming took Chu Chen's words and said: "I have encountered this kind of thing too many times. If you ask me, it is still the problem of the young people themselves. In this ghost market, anything can happen, and there are many scammers and so on. It is also a loss.  He dared to follow others alone without any caution at all. " Zhou Wenping also nodded: "But just like Xiao Chen said, those people don't dare to go too far. At most, the young people will only spend a little money.  . Besides, there are a lot of people from different religions in the ghost market. If I want to take care of it, it¡¯s really inconvenient for you girls to be here. If Xiaochen is alone today, he might take care of it. " Chu Yulan and the others will take care of it.  I think so. After all, in this dark place, if we encounter a few extremely vicious people, Chu Chen will be the only one who has the skills. There are many people on the other side, and he can't take care of them.  But according to Zhou Wenping, Chu Chen had really taken care of this kind of thing, so Chu Yulan asked curiously: "Brother Chu, have you ever taught such a person a lesson?" Chu Chen said with some embarrassment:  "I have taken care of it, but I don't take care of everything. I will only take care of it if it goes too far. Okay, let's not talk about this. Xiaolan, looking at your appearance just now, it seems that you are not interested in chapter materials or something like that.  "I'm particularly interested. Do you have any need in this regard?" "Brother Chu, you should also know from my uncle that my grandpa will be celebrating his birthday in a while. As for me, I just want to give him a piece of information.  But I haven't found anything satisfactory after searching for a long time. If I go to an antique store, I can't afford it, so I can only see if there is anything in this ghost market." Chu Yulan's face looked a little sad.  "How many days until your grandpa's birthday?" Chu Chen asked.  "Including today, there are still four days." After hearing that there were only four days, Chu Chen frowned: "Time is indeed a bit tight, so Xiaolan, don't worry, let's look here first, if not, go back  I'll also help you find out. Let's not talk about the expensive ones, but there is still hope that you can find them with medium or high-quality materials." After hearing this, Chu Yulan immediately smiled and said, "Brother Chu, thank you very much.  " When they were about to continue their previous trip, they saw the young man walking over with a listless look on his face. He didn't seem to be hurt. Judging from his expression, he probably spent money to ward off the disaster.  .  Seeing this, Chu Yulan and the others also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they have not really entered society yet, and they still have innocent hearts in their hearts. If young people are physically harmed, they will also feel uneasy.  Next, everyone visited dozens of stalls one after another, and basically everyone learned something.  Chu Yulan was lucky. She finally got her wish and spent 17,000 yuan to buy Fangchanghua chicken blood stone seal material. This material is fine and moist, with bright and rich blood color, and is as delicate as flowing water.  At the normal price in an antique store, this piece of material should be sold for 50,000 to 60,000 yuan. She was quite satisfied with the purchase of this piece of material.  However, Chu Yulan still liked Tian Huang Zhang material, so she still asked Chu Chen to help her search for suitable Tian Huang Zhang materials when she went back.  At this time, the sky was getting brighter. Chu Chen looked at the things in his hands, looking slightly disappointed.  He also bought two things just now, namely a good-quality Duan Inkstone and a Canglong Godson Jade Belt Buckle, both of which can be used to open the door to the end. These two things cost him a total of fifteen thousand, and the price was only higher than the average price.  The price of the goods is just a little lower. After all, antiques are not always available.  Chu Chen now has enough money to open an antique shop. He is not worried about the store for the time being. However, the things in the antique shop cannot all be handicrafts, so the antiques must be prepared in advance, so he will buy them.  Those two things.  After finally visiting the ghost market in Xijing, Chu Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with these two small items. However, when he looked down, he found a circle of bronze Buddha statues placed on the vendor stalls in front of him.  Buddha statues have a long history in our country. Among the bronze Buddha statues and Buddhist utensils that can be seen in the world, most of the early unearthed objects are gilt seated Buddha statues, standing statues, gilt Buddha statues, etc. from the Wei, Jin, and Southern and Northern Dynasties. Most of the handed down items are from the Sui and Tang Dynasties.  Of these, the majority are Buddhist statues from the Ming and Qing dynasties.  Most of the Buddhist statues here are in the style of the Tang Dynasty, with a small number of Ming and Qing Buddhist statues, and they all seem to be of good workmanship.  The Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty generally have plump faces, well-proportioned figures, reasonable structures, plump and plump bodies, naturally stretched postures, and a strong sense of dynamics, etc., which have distinctive characteristics of the times.  Thinking of the rich historical and cultural heritage of Xijing, Chu Chen immediately became interested when seeing these Buddha statues, and squatted down to observe them regardless of whether they were true or false.  After a rough look around, he found that the quality of the Buddha statues here was pretty good. Although most of them were new imitations, there were also some old imitations and high-end imitations.?, it still looks pretty good.  However, after Chu Chen picked them out, he found that these statues either had some problems with their workmanship or were a little damaged, but he couldn't find any that he was satisfied with, and he suddenly became a little dissatisfied.  Just when Chu Chen was about to stand up and leave, out of the corner of his eye, a relatively new Bodhisattva statue placed in the corner caught his eye, and he was instantly interested.  This is because his treasure consciousness reminds him that this statue of Bodhisattva should be an old object.  As soon as Chu Chen took possession of the Bodhisattva statue, he felt his hands sink. It had a copper-like texture. This alone made him feel good. When he took a closer look, he was immediately surprised.  This is a gilt bronze statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, about 25 centimeters in height.  Manjushri Bodhisattva is the transliteration abbreviation of the Indian Sanskrit "Manjushri", which means "wonderful virtue" and "wonderful auspiciousness".  Among the Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, he is known for his wisdom and ranks first among the major Bodhisattvas. He is called "Prince Manjushri Dharma" in Buddhist scriptures.  This statue wears a five-flower crown on its head, with a high bun on top and large earlobes on its shoulders.  The face is square and the expression is solemn.  The shoulders are broad, the waist is tucked in, and the body is soft, sitting on the lotus platform in a slightly three-fold branch pose.  Wearing a cassock with the right shoulder exposed on the upper body, a silk fabric on both shoulders, and a long skirt on the lower body, the clothing pattern is smooth and natural, and the clothing pattern on the legs is symmetrically laid out, which is particularly beautiful.  The whole body is also decorated with Yingluo jewelry and bracelets.  Put your hands in front of your chest in Dharma mudra, holding a lotus stem in each palm.  The lotus flower is open at shoulder level, with a Buddhist clip placed on the flower on the left shoulder and a sword placed on the flower on the right shoulder.  The sutra and the sword are important symbols of this image, and both have profound meanings. The sutra means that the wisdom is as profound as the sea, and the sharp sword means that it can kill the thieves of all troubles.  The rosette is in the shape of a half-moon and is filled with lotus petals.  The lotus petals are neatly arranged, full and powerful, and the head is decorated with curly grass.  The six-character inscription "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" is engraved on the rosette, indicating the casting year and the base of the rosette is well sealed.  Looking at the entire Buddha statue, it is very well preserved, with dignified shape, well-proportioned and fine craftsmanship. It is a model of palace statues during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty.  This statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva can be said to be exactly the same as the Buddhist statues of the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty in terms of shape, craftsmanship, coating and other characteristics.  After using the superpower, Chu Chen was even more shocked.  "Boss, please give me a price." Such a beautiful statue, and it was from the Xuande period, how could Chu Chen let it go.  The owner of this stall is also a young man. He has a plump face and looks very kind. But don¡¯t be fooled by his appearance. He sees that Chu Chen is looking carefully, and he looks very young.  It was a novice who saw Chu Chen asking about the price and immediately asked for 80,000 yuan.  When Chu Chen heard that it was 80,000 yuan, he knew that this person must have missed it. Thinking about it, if the boss thought it was genuine, he would not show it to him.  But by offering this price, he also knew that the boss was treating him as a fat sheep.  Chu Chen hated it when others thought he was a fat sheep. Although this item was indeed genuine, the boss would definitely not be able to succeed, so he directly returned the price to five thousand.  When the boss saw that Chu Chen had returned five thousand, he was stunned and thought to himself, does this person know that he got this statue for three thousand?  Thinking of this, he immediately became energetic. If he paid it off for the first time, he would earn two thousand. This was a good deal, so he smiled and lowered the price to seventy thousand.  Seeing this, Chu Chen simply put the Bodhisattva statue in its place, and then showed a look of preparing to leave.  When the boss saw this, he became anxious. How could he let a fat sheep run away like this?  Then he said hurriedly: "Brother, you really can't afford the price. Please add more, add more." Chu Chen was happy when he heard this, made a gesture of ten thousand, and then said: "Boss, I will offer you this."  If the price is met, it will be done. If it doesn¡¯t work out, I¡¯ll give it to you.¡± The boss decided immediately to avoid a long night of nightmares.  After the transaction was completed and Chu Chen and others walked away, the boss couldn't help humming a tune proudly, thinking, Hey, dad also said that I am not good at doing business. Look, I got 7,000 yuan so easily.  In the past few months, he has had enough food and clothing. A fool like this young man needs as much as possible. At this time, he would not have thought that his father was rummaging through the boxes and cabinets at home to find something.  "My dear, have you seen the Bodhisattva statue I brought back for 30,000 yuan yesterday?" "No, wait until Xiao Kun comes back and ask to see if it's at his place." "I can't return this bastard today.  If you want to ask someone to control Zhangyan, he won¡¯t really be there, right? Then he must not sell it to me cheaply, or I will break his legs!¡±¡­ ¡°Hey, Brother Chu, why did you think of it?  Please give me a Bodhisattva statue?" Wen Yuting looked a little strange as Chu Chen hugged the Bodhisattva statue.    Chu Chen said with a smile: "Haha, let's go, let's talk about it when we go back." Next, the sky became brighter and brighter, everyone had gained something, and they were no longer interested in visiting the ghost market, plus they were all curious.  The Bodhisattva statue in Chu Chen's hand quickly left the ghost market.
