crossing yin and yang

What he said was not obvious, but the ostentatious meaning in it was ready to come out. Anyone with a discerning eye would know who took out the collection of the iron Buddha.The reason why this exhibition is called an exchange meeting rather than a trade fair is precisely because some of the exhibits are not for sale by invitation, and are specially for those collectors with status and status to show off their collections, such as the Dushan Jade in Liuqu The sculptured eight groups of people, and the bronze Buddha in front of them.However, compared to the outstanding jade carvings of the eight parts, although this Manjushri Iron Buddha is superbly carved, its value may not be very high, so the biggest possibility is that the identity of the collector is very unusual.

In just a short while, Wei Yang began to think about it, and also had some speculations about the identity of this "Old Ye", but Liu Qu was not in the mood to think so much, what he didn't like to see was others showing off in front of him , Hearing the old guy's question, he smiled directly: "I don't have much research on iron things, and I can't say anything good about it, but the iron Buddha, tsk tsk, is evil."

If this guy's non-mainstream hairstyle is paired with this kind of provocation to the extreme, even the old man who has been putting on airs will change his face a little, and the servants around him will jump up as if their tails have been stepped on: "Stinky boy!" , how to talk! Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand!”

On the side, Mr. Su winked at Liu Qu as if his eyes were cramped. Master Liu didn't know the identity of Mr. Ye, but he knew very well that Mr. Ye was Zheng Erba, Director Sun of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. The original partner of the scriptures is Master Taishan.If it were a different mayor or secretary, maybe he wouldn't be so nervous. However, Director Sun is a cadre who has climbed up the political and legal line step by step. He has handled many major and important cases under his command, so he is a character who fears his wife like a tiger. , As a result, Mr. Ye is very talkative with the director, and has the "reputation" that he is better than a county magistrate when he is not in the officialdom.

With such respect for the Supreme Emperor, his greatest interest is nothing else, it happens to be those antique Buddhist artifacts, and the Buddhist artifact exchange meeting is held in Jin Province, how dare Mr. Su not know Ye Lao.You must know that Wenwan's business is a completely gray area. Without a few umbrellas, it is absolutely impossible to do it. If you accidentally offend the father-in-law of the chief of public security, you will always cause a lot of trouble.As for the lord of the head of the hall, even a family like the Liu family may have some headaches. The "antique" business is hard to say, and there may not be less Taoism in it. There is no reason to add an enemy for nothing, isn't it?

However, no matter how much Mr. Su winked, Liu Qu, the dead child, seemed to be cut off from the relationship, and couldn't receive the signal at all. Facing Wang Ming's scolding, he actually sneered and wanted to retort, but he couldn't open his mouth and stood aside. Wei Yang smiled first: "Mr. Ye, please don't be offended. What Master Liu said is just general words in the literary and entertainment circles, and not every iron Buddha has evil spirits. On the contrary, some iron objects are just to suppress those people. It was only made by evil spirits, and the luck contained in it is not trivial."

What he said was neither humble nor overbearing, and seemed to be an objective statement, but it just solved the embarrassing situation that Liu Qu had caused just now. The expression on Ye Lao's face suddenly improved a lot, and he nodded slightly: "This kid seems to be really knowledgeable. Are you also here to participate in the Buddhist Artifacts Fair?"

In a word, Liu Qu has been excluded from the scope of communication, but Wei Yang pretended not to hear what he meant, and smiled humbly: "I don't dare to do it, I just came to join in the fun with Master Liu. This Buddha statue is interesting, so I came here to take a look. My surname is Wei, I work as an environmental consulting assistant, and I only know a little bit about literature and entertainment."

As soon as this identity was revealed, the smile on Ye Lao's lips faded. No one knows what an environmental consulting assistant is now, but it is just a synonym for Mr. Feng Shui. This kind of person is afraid that there is nothing wrong with evaluating the quality of his collection. Are you kind?After all, there is a son-in-law of the police, and his anti-deception ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people. When his face turned cold, the little servants around him became energetic again, and directly ignored Wei Yang, and said to Liu Qu: "That statue of Tianlong Babu Let's make a price, Ye Lao wants to accept it."

The last few words are the same as Jin Ke's legal order, as if it is a great honor for the jade carving to be taken away by them, Liu Qu did not answer directly, but pointed to the iron Buddha behind: "I think this thing is okay, how much money?" Sell ​​it?"

This is an exhibit of a private collector, and it was not intended for sale. When Liu Qu asked, who could not understand what he meant.However, before Ye Lao got angry, a voice suddenly came from beside them: "You can't buy it."

Zhang Xiuqi, who had been staring at the iron Buddha all the time, spoke, his tone was light and indifferent, and there was a chill down the spine.

"You did it on purpose!" Wang Ming jumped out, and his repeated provocations were no different from slaps in the face.

However, his words did not continue, only because the young man with his back turned around.Zhang Xiuqi has an extremely handsome face, but what is more eye-catching than that face at this time is the chill emanating from his body, that kind of sharpness like a knife, cold as ice.Although he had met many leading cadres at the provincial and municipal levels, and because of his status, he had also come into contact with some so-called "underworld" gangsters, but Wang Ming had never seen a character with such a temperament, so he choked back.

After all, Mr. Ye is different from his own followers, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied coldly: "Oh, why is this iron Buddha so annoying to you that you can't buy it?"

Zhang Xiuqi didn't answer his words, because a hand was already on his hand.Wei Yang quietly grabbed the arm of the person around him, pressed it, and replied to Mr. Ye with a smile: "Of course you can't buy it. After all, this is Mr. Ye's favorite. How can we juniors win people over?" That's great. Master Liu, you just arrived at the venue, why don't you go around?"

Anyone can hear the two light and fluffy words as perfunctory, but Wei Yang's attitude of not wanting to talk is very clear. This is far from the general scam. Ye Lao hesitated for a while, and finally smiled coldly: "Can you?" It's fate that I can't buy it, and since Mr. Liu is unwilling to sell it, I don't mean to force it. It's an exchange meeting, of course communication should be the most important thing, Mr. Su, are you right?"

As he said that, he glanced at Mr. Su slowly, which seemed to be a little deep. Xin's master sculptor may save some face, but this non-mainstream troublemaker is obviously not a person who can hold up the scene, and today he is so unhappy that he probably can't help it.

Liu Qu doesn't care who the surname is Ye, he's seen a lot of people who put on airs and put on airs, he's so tired of it, he doesn't pay attention to Ye Lao, and simply nods at Wei Yang: "Okay, let's go first Looking around at the other house, I remember that Lao Qiang also brought the Jade Guanyin of the Ming Dynasty, it is really Xu Zigang's masterpiece, just to show you Mr. Zigang's technique..."

What Wei Yang wanted was exactly this sentence, and he nodded apologetically at Elder Ye. He pulled the little celestial master and left the booth quickly behind Liu Qu.Behind the three of them, Ye Lao's face changed. In the past two years, his son-in-law has been promoted, and few people in the cultural relics circle dare to be so rude to him. He said in a low voice: "Old Ye, why don't I go back and find someone to check these people. Although the Liu family is not small, Liu Qu is a junior after all. What kind of background can a person like him know..."

Mr. Ye nodded calmly, and glanced lightly at Mr. Su next to him: "Xiao Su, I'm afraid the character of this exhibition is not suitable for my old bones, so let's move out the exhibition today, and the character of the exhibits will improve later. It's not too late to call me."

These words are quite both soft and hard, expressing his displeasure without turning his back on him. Mr. Su is a sensible person, how can he fail to understand the meaning of the other party's words, he is probably trying to force himself to be Master Liu Work.It's just that although Mr. Ye has a strong background, the private trade fair doesn't need to bow his head to such relatives at the provincial level, so let's go back and explain to the Liu family, so as to smooth out the right and wrong this time...

One side made an apology to smooth things over, while the other side Liu Qu asked with great interest: "Is there really something wrong with that Buddha?"

Even with such a non-mainstream attire, Liu Qu is not a stunned young man who doesn't understand the world at all, but just doesn't like to follow common sense.Compared with the kind of shameless official who just wants to buy and sell by force, he is still more interested in these ghostly things.

How did Wei Yang know what's wrong with the Iron Buddha? According to the little celestial master's practice, when encountering evil spirits, no matter how many or how many people there are, they will probably copy them. How could he come up with a "don't buy" judgment after watching it for a long time? .However, Zhang Xiuqi didn't intend to answer, the chill on his body had faded a lot at this time, like a hunting dog far away from danger, he became quiet again.Facing Wei Yang's questioning gaze, he shook his head lightly: "Weird, I can't see it. The luck is too strong here."

The slender finger swiped lightly in front of him, covering the entire venue. The hall was brightly lit and crowded with people. In the showcase made of reinforced glass, Vajra glared, Maitreya laughed, Buddha was solemn, Guanyin was merciful...the cold light used for display None of them can eliminate the serenity and compassion in their demeanors. In such a place where Buddhist artifacts gather, just the resonance will be much stronger. How can there be any evil spirits to make trouble?

Master Liu, who couldn't communicate with normal people, actually understood the meaning of Zhang Xiuqi's words, and suddenly became energetic: "Oh, there is such a thing as luck! I heard from the elders in the family that there are some old things on the real things that are old enough. Luck is there, and the real works of those famous masters condense the real soul. Sometimes they don’t need to be appraised. Interested?"

These words are no different from boasting, but Zhang Xiuqi really answered: "Yes, very lightly."

This time even Wei Yang was taken aback, and Liu Qu laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, he almost went up to hook his shoulders and strike up a conversation.However, after hearing what Zhang Xiuqi said, Wei Yang felt relieved. No matter what the situation of the iron Buddha is, as long as Brother Qi can let go and not touch it, he will save a lot of trouble, but that old man Ye is very likely. I have some involvement with people in the officialdom, and I don't know if today's incident will cause some trouble.

Just as he was thinking, his hand was gently pulled, Wei Yang raised his head, and saw that Zhang Xiuqi didn't pay attention to Liu Qu who was in high spirits, but looked back seriously, there was a faint doubt in those calm eyes .He may not understand Wei Yang's complicated and abnormal thoughts, but he can always keenly detect the hidden worries that the little magic stick is not easy to be discovered by others.Wei Yang's heart suddenly relaxed, and he smiled and patted the little Tianshi's hand: "Brother Qi, let's go and look at other things. If there is any rare thing, please tell me."

While walking and chatting, the three of them left the booth quickly. The cold white light shone on the iron-black Manjushri statue, revealing an ominous luster.

This exchange meeting is divided into two sessions. The first half is mainly for exhibitions. The collectors in the middle leave the venue for dinner, and come back to trade in the afternoon. Therefore, at noon, the crowds in the exhibition hall have left the venue one after another.Since the delivery has not yet been processed, no one will touch the exhibits in the hall, but today there was an accident. I saw an elite man in a suit bossing the staff to open the showcase and remove the exhibits from the display rack. .

Although it was not in compliance with the rules, after all the private fairs had been held for so many sessions, the participating staff were quite discerning, and they wanted to come forward to serve meekly without asking the reason.However, perhaps because he disliked the organizer's attitude too much, the elite man didn't let the staff do it, but took out the iron Buddha from the display stand with his own hands, bent down and put it in the safe.But for some reason, when he bent halfway, his wrist went numb, and he shook like a cramp. The iron Buddha was quite heavy, and with such a shake, he hit the ground directly.

Hearing a muffled bang, Manjusri swung the iron sword held high. The elite man's face turned pale, and he quickly looked at the staff around him. head.The voice in the secret channel was unlucky, but luckily Ye Lao was not there, so Wang Ming hurried up to pick up the Iron Buddha and the small sword, and carefully inserted the sword back into Manjusri Bodhisattva's hand. The angle of the sword may be slightly off, but the Buddha statue itself is Nothing went wrong.

Go back at night and quietly adjust to the photos again.With a sigh of relief in his heart, Wang Ming quickly installed the iron Buddha, picked up the safe as if nothing had happened, and glared at the staff over there: "What are you still doing in a daze! Go and drive my car, hmph, you people like this Xiao Zhan just loves these moths!"

Knowing the virtue of this kind of customer too well, how could the staff dare to stay for a long time, trotting all the way to pick up the car, Wang Ming straightened his collar, put on a haughty attitude, and walked quickly to the door.However, in the safe that he couldn't see, the iron sword in the hand of Manjusri Bodhisattva dropped silently twice. With such a slight change, the iron Buddha's face seemed to change, and his serene and peaceful smile distorted, turning into a Make a sly smile.
