    Since the real owner only returned to Porcelain Capital in the early hours of Thursday morning, Chu Chen and the others have been visiting various ceramic research institutes in Porcelain Capital in the past few days.  But it was possible to visit, but it was not easy to buy technology. No matter what Chu Chen said, he gained very little, which strengthened his determination to set up his own ceramics research institute.  Early on Thursday morning, the seller Ning Yi¡¯s friend talked about called and said that the real owner had returned and asked Chu Chen to meet him at his store. He would then take Chu Chen there.  After hanging up the phone, the three of them quickly went to the hotel restaurant to have breakfast, and then Hu Yong drove them off.  The seller¡¯s shop is located in the antique market where Chu Chen visited the first time he came to the porcelain capital. However, today is Thursday, and there are not many stalls and people in the market. Chu Chen and his party walked straight to the shop.  When approaching the store, Chu Chen suddenly heard a fierce quarrel coming from an antique shop in front of him. After hearing a few words, Chu Chen roughly guessed what was going on.  It was nothing more than a customer who had something to sell, and the store /none/wrong/ offered very little money, which made the customer so angry that a quarrel broke out.  He happened to pass that store on the way to his destination. When Chu Chen passed by, he took a look inside. What made him feel that it was a coincidence that the owner of the antique store turned out to be the blind shopkeeper Wang who he met that day.  .  "Huh! I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes when I met someone like you!" The customer snorted coldly, and then walked straight out of the store. Shopkeeper Wang didn't care about this and walked directly to the recliner nearby.  Next, he sat down and rested.  Originally, Chu Chen didn¡¯t care about such an episode, but it was a coincidence.  Because he wanted to hunt rabbits in the antique market, Chu Chen opened the normally closed treasure room.  When the guest entered the range of Baojue's induction, Chu Chen suddenly became energetic.  Unexpectedly, the thing in the guest's hand was really a treasure.  For this accident, Chu Chen didn't think it was strange after thinking about it. Since shopkeeper Wang can regard iron as bronze, it is normal for the genuine product to be fake in his eyes.  So, when the guest was about to pass by Chu Chen, Chu Chen hurriedly called out: "This old husband, please wait a moment." The guest looked about fifty or sixty years old, judging from his dress.  Judging from the above, the conditions at home should be good, and there is a strong scholarly atmosphere all over his body. It is obvious at a glance that he is a high-level intellectual.  The old man stopped, frowned and asked, "Husband, what do you want to do with you?" Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Old husband, that's what happened. I heard just now that you have something to transfer. No.  Do you know if you can let me admire it? " In broad daylight, the old man was not worried about what would happen, and judging from Chu Chen's dress, his family conditions should be very good.  So, he nodded and said: "Okay, but let me explain first. The price of this thing is not cheap." Chu Chen smiled and said: "Old husband, don't worry. If I am satisfied with the thing, I will definitely buy it.  "The old man said, "You'll know if it's good or not, but let's just watch it here."  Seeing himself and others standing in the middle of the road, Chu Chen quickly led everyone to a nearby eaves.  Then, the old man took out a small rectangular box and opened it.  When Chu Chen saw what was in the box, he couldn't help but be slightly startled. It turned out that there was a Buddhist artifact, the Vajra Prong, inside.  When Wu Ke saw what was in the box, his face showed curiosity, and he asked: "Achen, what is this?" Chu Chen replied: "This is a diamond prong." Wu Ke asked again  He said: "Vajra Prong? What is the use of this thing?" The old man next to him explained: "Vajra Prong was originally a weapon, and was later absorbed into Tibetan Buddhism as a magical weapon. It is made of copper, silver, wood, ivory and other materials.  They all have the same appearance, but the handles are decorated differently due to different uses. "Some handles are Buddha heads, and some are statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva, wearing a five-skull crown on the top.  It has the meaning of wrath and surrender. "In Tibetan Buddhist rituals, the vajra prong is used to contain and destroy inner demons, that is, obstacles on the road to enlightenment. The mysterious power of this instrument comes from holding it.  The wrathful saint on the handle allows the blade to cut off and destroy negative evil forces Little brother, am I right? " Chu Chen smiled and said: "Yes, it seems that you have always studied this aspect.  "The old man chuckled and said: "I used to be a professor in the Chinese Department of XX University. I like to study history and culture, and I know a little bit about it. This diamond prong was actually passed down from my grandfather because my grandson found a daughter.  Friends, it¡¯s time to talk about marriage and purchase.It's time to start a family, but I don't have enough money to transfer this thing, otherwise I would have planned to pass it on from generation to generation" Chu Chen nodded, but he did not completely believe what the old man said. There are real tricks in the antique market.  There were too many, and some words should not be taken lightly. Of course, for Chu Chen, as long as the things were genuine, whether the old man's words were true or false really had nothing to do with him. So, he said hello to the old man and put the box away.  I took it out to appreciate the Vajra Prong. The visual height of this Vajra Prong is about 25 centimeters. It consists of three parts. The first part is the three-sided head of the wrathful King Ming on the top; the second part is the handle;  The three parts are the Capricorn fish and the three-sided pestle, which are the main features of the three-faced Wrathful King. It is generally believed that the three-faced Wrathful King is the image of Mingwang formed after Puba's deification.  A red flame-like snake-shaped hair knot with nine eyes wide open, symbolizing the simultaneous access to the three methods of righteousness, unexplained righteousness and non-ambiguity. The second part of the handle is composed of a symmetrical set of patterns, that is, the upper part.  It is a "Han-style convex knot" with a circle of lotus petals at the bottom. In the middle of one of the lotus petals is the six-character regular script inscription "Da Ming Yongle Year Shi". The "Han-style convex knot" is similar to a kind of wool knitting, symbolizing all evil spirits.  Trapped and unable to escape. The third part is the Capricorn fish and the three-edged pestle. The pestle protrudes from the big mouth of the "ferocious destroyer" Capricorn. It is said that Capricorn is an auspicious beast that swallows monsters and has extraordinary magical power.  The snake hanging from the Capricorn fish's mouth indicates the relationship between the Capricorn fish and the dragon and snake that carry the wind and rain. The upper part of this instrument is made of gilded copper, and the three-sided pestle is made of iron.  , partially gilded. Due to the complex iron and gold craftsmanship, the Vajra Prong was regarded as a precious instrument in the Ming Dynasty court. The gilt copper Vajra Prong with the inscription "Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty" was even rarer. Chu Chen had only seen it before.  There are two records. Therefore, if this gilt copper vajra prong from the Yongle Year of the Ming Dynasty is authentic, it can be said to be a rare item. Of course, if it is not authentic, Baojue is unlikely to have it.  There was a reaction, and Chu Chen¡¯s appraisal could prove that it was authentic. Of course, it was impossible for Chu Chen to miss such a good thing. After he authenticated the item, he asked: ¡°Old husband, you don¡¯t know me.  How much money does it cost to take this vajra prong back?  "The old man stretched out his hand and gestured, and said: "At least five hundred thousand!  " When it comes to this, the old man may be worried that Chu Chen will not agree, so he talks eloquently: "Little brother, I see you are also a person who likes to collect antiques. In fact, this antique collection should pay attention to taste. It is better to have less than to overfill. Only by collecting high-quality goods can the value increase.  Only space has artistic charm.  If you have a whole house of things to collect, it is better to buy a few high-quality items. They don¡¯t take up space, are classy, ??and have a lot of room for value preservation and appreciation.  Like my Vajra Prong" Next, the old man praised his Vajra Prong greatly. Anyway, it just means that if Chu Chen doesn't buy this Vajra Prong, he will suffer a big loss, and fifty  If it wasn't cheap at all, if his family hadn't been in urgent need of money, he would have collected it himself, and it was estimated that it would double in a few years. Chu Chen was already interested in this vajra prong, but the old man's words made him confused.  He really didn't know what to say. If he hadn't seen that the old man was more likely to be a professor, he would have thought that the old man had been an antiques businessman for many years. Otherwise, how could he be so talkative about this matter?  The Vajra Prong was very satisfying, and the price of 500,000 yuan was not expensive. However, there is generally no reason not to bargain in antique transactions. Coupled with the old man's eloquence, Chu Chen did not dare to accept it directly, so he started to bargain.  After some bickering, they went to the bank to transfer the money. Chu Chen quickly walked to the antique shop with Wu Ke and Hu Yong. After a while, Chu Chen introduced each other.  Chen apologized: "Shopkeeper Song, I'm really sorry. I just collected something from Shopkeeper Dongxi Wang, which delayed some time.  The owner of the antique shop is named Song Weiqing. After hearing what Chu Chen said, he said: "What?"  Did you buy something from him?  " Chu Chen said quickly: "I didn't make it clear. I collected something at the door of his store.  " When Song Weiqing heard this, he was a little curious: "What's going on?  " Chu Chen smiled and recounted what happened. As for the reason why he wanted to see the old man's things, he also attributed it to knowing that shopkeeper Wang's eyesight was too poor and there was a possibility of missing things. In addition, the old man's expression was not good.  As if it was a lie, he wanted to see what the old man was planning to transfer, but he didn't expect it to be an antique treasure. After hearing Chu Chen's retelling of the explanation, Song Weiqing quickly asked Chu Chen to give him something to appreciate. In response, Chu Chen said.  Of course I agreed.After seeing the Vajra Prong, Song Weiqing said with envy: "Boss Chu, you are so lucky. A Vajra Prong like this is a rare treasure! I would like to ask, I don't know where you are now.  Do you have any idea of ??transferring it? " Chu Chen heard this and declined politely with a smile: "I'm really sorry, I still want to keep this vajra prong for a while" (To be continued) "
