Chapter 57 Missed it?
Because he was going to be a candidate for the restoration of murals in Dunhuang, Chuhe knew more or less about the history of Dunhuang posthumous writings.

The Dunhuang posthumous manuscripts are ancient manuscripts and printed copies from the 4th to the 11th centuries AD. They were excavated from cave No. 1900 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang in 17.

Once dug out, it attracted the attention of countries all over the world, and they all became interested in these cultural relics.

Many people easily cheated boxes of suicide notes and paintings with a small amount of horseshoe silver.

Tan Xianlin pointed to the damaged Dunhuang posthumous book and said: "This Dunhuang posthumous book, although it is a fragment, but, as you all know, the value of this senior document is very high."

At this time, someone in the audience said: "Master Tan, we are all vulgar people. We don't understand whether your literature is worthless."

"That's right, we are not those ghosts who are so obsessed with these documents."

Tan Xianlin didn't expect that the people in the audience seemed not interested in this Dunhuang posthumous note, and he hesitated for a while.

At this time, Chuhe immediately signaled to Xu Yiming: "Mr. Xu, we must get this."

Xu Yiming looked at him and nodded, "Don't worry."

Afterwards, Xu Yiming called softly to the housekeeper next to him: "Little housekeeper, please tell your owner that if no one wants it, I will take it all, and I will give it at the price offered by the owner."

The man immediately came to the stage and brought the original words to Tan Xianlin.

Tan Xianlin was worried that this Dunhuang posthumous book might not be auctioned normally, but Xu Yiming on the other side expressed his interest.

So, he cleared his throat: "Everyone, there are fifteen volumes of Dunhuang posthumous writings on the stage. The bidding begins with a reserve price of one million."

Many people shook their heads when they heard the bid of 100 million. Let alone the Buddhist scriptures they couldn't understand, they were discouraged by the damage of the suicide note.

Therefore, everyone gave up bidding directly, wanting to see which scapegoat would buy these crappy things.

Xu Yiming raised the sign and said, "I want them all."

"Boss Xu raised his sign!"

"Really, wow, Master Xu also wants these suicide notes?"

Tan Xianlin smiled slightly, tapped the small wooden hammer lightly and said: "100 million first time!"

"100 million third time, deal!"

Tan Xianlin cheered up, and motioned for Xu Yiming and the others to come to the stage to examine the documentation of the Dunhuang posthumous writings.

Chuhe walked up with Xu Yiming.

"You are really special. You want the things that others are fighting for, and you want the things that everyone despises."

Tan Xianlin was also puzzled, logically speaking, why did Xu Yiming come here for such a broken scroll? Did he want to buy it and restore it?

Chu He looked at the Dunhuang posthumous writings in front of him, and found that many of the papers were damaged, such as wear, tearing, and adhesion, and some serious fragments could not even be opened for reading.

"This is troublesome." Chuhe secretly sighed, if it is repaired for himself, it will take at least more than a month.

Although the collection value of these dilapidated Dunhuang posthumous writings is not too high in the antique market, if they are restored one by one, their academic value is even greater than that of religious classics.

Thinking of this, Chuhe became inexplicably excited. He was wondering if Xu Yiming would let him restore these suicide notes.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly found an inconspicuous manuscript next to the scroll.

Seeing that he was engrossed, Xu Yiming asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu He pointed to the manuscript on the far side, and said, "That doesn't look like a Dunhuang posthumous book."

"Isn't it the Dunhuang suicide note?" Tan Xianlin was a little confused, and went to the manuscript that Chuhe was pointing at and read it.

Looking at the words on the album page, Chuhe suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

"Handbook for the Restoration of Ancient Books" suddenly appeared in my mind.

Chuhe found the contents of this album in the restoration manual of ancient scriptures that the system had previously rewarded.

"If you persuade people to sit and listen to the scriptures at the place where the Dharma is taught, it is a blessing due to fate, and it is a Buddhist wheel seat."

"What's more, if you listen wholeheartedly, explain its meaning, and practice as you say, the blessings will be immeasurable."

Chu He blurted out: "It's the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra"!"

""Miaofa Lotus Sutra"?" Tan Xianlin and Xu Yiming were both puzzled.

"Yes." Chu He affirmed: "There is no mistake. Looking at this manuscript, the leaves on which the pages are folded should be porcelain blue paper from the Ming Dynasty!"

Although Tan Xianlin had never heard of the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra", seeing how excited Chuhe was, he said, "This book was given to the tea house as an extra by the seller before, and Tan is also a vulgar person, so he can't read it." I understand, I see that little brother Chuhe likes it so much, why don't I give this book to you as a gift."

"No, no, this book is too precious." Chu He refused again and again.

Tan Xianlin smiled and waved his hands: "Brother Chuhe, don't refuse. If I, Tan Mouren, say anything, it is like pouring water. You can't take it back. Take it well."

Chuhe hesitated: "This"

Seeing this, Xu Yiming said to the housekeeper next to him, "Little housekeeper, just tidy up that book together with the Dunhuang suicide note, and I'll take it for him first."

The butler nodded again and again: "Okay, okay."

Seeing that Xu Yiming made the decision for himself, Chuhe had no choice but to thank Tan Xianlin again: "I am really grateful to Mr. Tan."

"Be careful, be careful." Tan Xianlin laughed happily.

Afterwards, Xu Yiming and Chu He stepped off the stage together.

In fact, Tan Xianlin has selfish intentions. He got this "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" for free, and he thinks it is not of much collection value. It just so happens that Chuhe has taken a fancy to it. This is a favor, and if there is a need to restore it in the future Presumably Chuhe will also help him with the cultural relics.

In this circle, having one more connection means paving one more way out for oneself.

Tan Xianlin looked at everyone in the audience: "Okay, everyone, this is the end of tonight's tea party. If you want to leave first, you can leave under the leadership of my people. If there are still people who want to eat, drink and chat Yes, Tan will definitely accompany you to the end!"

"Come on, Lord Tan, come and have a drink!" Someone in the audience was already shouting.

Xu Yiming motioned to Xia Chuhe: "Let's go."

Chuhe nodded: "OK."

Tan Xianlin's people carefully put the music clock and Dunhuang suicide note that Xu Yiming auctioned tonight in the trunk of the car, and reinforced it with a box.

Xu Yiming then gave them a tip of 300 yuan each, and then drove away.

On the way back, both Xu Yiming and Chuhe fell silent tacitly.

Chuhe's mood is obviously excited, of course he saw many treasures tonight, and also gave him a "Miaofa Lotus Sutra".

If he uses the systematic "Ancient Books and Sutras Restoration Manual", then he will have great confidence in restoring the dilapidated "Miaofa Lotus Sutra".

Not long after, Xu Yiming said, "Why don't you ask me why you want to investigate this Dunhuang suicide note?"

Chuhe froze for a moment, and then said: "If you believe me, you will naturally say it, even if I don't speak."
