Chapter 103 High Monk Relic
Seeing that Jiahao took it seriously, Lin Haitao quickly straightened his expression and agreed: "You can give this a try. Maybe your idea will be verified in the end! I think the only way to determine its age is to do a carbon 14 test.
Because there is no corresponding identification standard for this type of porcelain in history, I am afraid that even the most discerning experts may not see what the trick is! But, Brother Yao, do you think it is worth it? It is very troublesome to do carbon 14 testing.
The cost is high. But that’s okay. My grandpa can help you contact the relevant research institutes and give you a discount or do it for you once for free."
Jiahao said calmly: "I won't talk about this anymore, but of course it is worth it. If you have doubts, there is reason to explore!"
"That's right." Lin Haitao smiled and nodded. Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered it!"
"What do you remember?" Jiahao asked hurriedly.
Lin Haitao said in a serious tone: "I have a way to prove it, which is to prove whether your strange bone china is made of relics or has nothing to do with relics."
"Oh, really?!" Hearing what Lin Haitao said, Jiahao immediately became very alert and said happily, "Okay, how to prove it?"
Lin Haitao stood up mysteriously and pulled Jiahao's hand and said: "Brother Yao, come with me. Get that piece of porcelain!"
"Well, okay." Jiahao replied, then he carefully picked up the "Jade Purification Bottle" and followed Lin Haitao into the inner room.
After arriving in a small inner room, Lin Haitao first closed all the doors and windows, and finally the light in the room dimmed.
Before Jia Hao could react, he suddenly heard Lin Haitao exclaim, "Brother Yao, this is amazing! This relic of yours is really the 'No. 1 magical weapon in the world'!!"
"Haitao, what?! What did you see?!" Jiahao said in surprise. Lin Haitao was so surprised that he was confused.
Lin Haitao pointed at the "Jade Pure Vase" and said with a beaming smile: "Brother Yao, look here, does it emit a fluorescent light? It's light yellow. Although it looks very weak, in the dark
You can still see clearly if you look carefully under the environment!”
"Huh?!" Jiahao noticed immediately. Under Lin Haitao's instructions, as expected, he could vaguely find a yellow light emitting from the vial, which looked beautiful and mysterious.
That ball of light is naturally not the "treasure light" emitted by antiques, but a real light that can be discerned by the naked eye, just like the legendary luminous pearl, which naturally emits luminous light.
"Yes!" Jiahao opened his eyes and said in surprise, "Why didn't I notice it?! Haitao, how did you know about this phenomenon?!"
Lin Haitao smiled and replied: "I have only heard of this phenomenon. It is said that in the past few years, miracles of 'relics' glowing in the middle of the night have appeared in some temples in our country. In the dark night, the 'relics' in the temples have appeared
It actually emits a glowing phosphorescence, either dark red, lavender, or light yellow, which is beautiful and strange. For a time, devotees came to pay their respects. Although your bottle emits fluorescence with a relatively short afterglow, rather than obvious phosphorescence,
But the rumor that the relics are glowing has been proven, which at least shows that it is possible for the relics to glow! It’s so beautiful and magical!”
"So that's it!" Jiahao nodded in sudden realization, "Can we now prove that this piece of bone china is not ordinary bone china, but a magical artifact made of relics?"
Lin Haitao nodded solemnly and replied: "Of course, it's basically certain! It is conceivable that not all relics can shine, only a very small number of relics can shine, Brother Yao,
This shows that the material you used to obtain this small bottle by mistake is not an ordinary relic, but should be the spiritual bones left behind by a real enlightened monk! It is of immeasurable value!"
"Haha, maybe so." Jiahao said with a smile.
Although he sounded like he didn't have much confidence, in his heart he was more sure than anyone else, because he knew the origin of the porcelain in his hand. It was made from the relics of an eminent monk. There was no doubt about it.
Now Lin Haitao identified the bone china based on its fluorescence phenomenon as the product of genuine relics. With this, Jiahao breathed a long sigh of relief. Isn't what he has to do is to let others accept his idea?
, to be precise, it is an objective fact.
"Brother Yao, you have to be admired. Your vision is indeed unique. You actually found a relic vase from a pile of ordinary bone china!" Lin Haitao praised, "I have heard of 'Jade Fat' before.
The legend of the vase is that it is a precious Buddhist treasure, but unfortunately it was snatched away by the Japanese invaders during the Republic of China, and its whereabouts are still unknown! Although your thing is not like the 'jade fat vase', the quality is absolutely unsatisfactory.
Duorang is also a very precious magic weapon, but not many people know about it now. If people in the magic weapon world know about it and publicize it, I don’t know how many people will come to visit, just to take a look!
"
"Ah?! No way?! No way!" Jiahao couldn't help but smile bitterly. Lin Haitao's words were so exciting that he described the small "white jade bottle" in his hand as a peerless national treasure that countless people could only dream of.
Although he is skeptical about Lin Haitao's endless praise, Jiahao still has confidence. As the saying goes, "rare things are more valuable", relics are not common, and they are fluorescent relics. Therefore,
You know how precious things are.
"Haitao, do you know any friends in the magic weapon world? Maybe someone can help confirm it." Jiahao then added. He was just making some insinuations and wanted to find a master to give him a hand. After all, he and Lin Haitao must still be there now.
It is far from enough. Only by gaining everyone's recognition can the potential huge value of something be realized.
Just listen to Lin Haitao's reply: "I know a few of them. Some are professional Feng Shui masters, but I feel that they are not very reliable and don't have much ability. If I want to appraise such a treasure for you, I must find someone with real talent."
You are a master of practical learning! Brother Yao, I can leave this matter to your master, who is my grandfather. He has great powers in this industry. He basically knows all the famous people and is very familiar with him.
, with him taking action, we will definitely be able to find a reliable magic weapon master!"
Jiahao nodded and said: "Well, I understand, let's talk about it later."
When I parted ways with Mr. Zheng last night, the other party had already told me that he would come to see Jiahao today. It seemed that he had something important to discuss. However, he did not explain it at the time, and Jiahao had no way of knowing.
When Mr. Zheng arrived later, he would be able to talk to him about this matter. Jiahao made up his mind.
Afterwards, he and Lin Haitao walked out of the dark inner room and returned to the antique shop lobby.
"Brother Yao, Haitao, what are you talking about inside?" Wen Ting asked as she was packing her things.
Jiahao smiled and shook his head and said: "Nothing, just looking at one thing. Wen Ting, those are four pieces of bone china I just collected from Mr. Smith. If you like it, take it back and collect it yourself. If you don't like it, just take it back and keep it."
Put it on the shelves, the bone china is really beautiful and can add luster to our store."
Wen Ting shook her head and said: "I already have it. There is no need to collect many of the same things. Then I will put them up. Oh, by the way, how much did you spend?"
Jiahao answered truthfully: "We spent 80,000 together."
"Eighty thousand?!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Wen Ting was shocked, but Lin Haitao who was standing aside also couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.
Wen Ting hurriedly asked: "Why is it so expensive?!"
Lin Haitao also said: "Yes, it is indeed a bit expensive. Bone china doesn't cost that much."
But Jiahao said calmly: "You get what you pay for. The things are really good and well made. They are all old things. The price is worth it. Besides, Mr. Smith gave me such a gift as a gift."
It’s a beautiful vial. Generally speaking, I shouldn’t suffer any loss. Even if I lose money, it won’t be much of a loss, right?”
"So this is included?!" After hearing his explanation, Lin Haitao's face was suddenly filled with smiles, and he said excitedly, "Brother Yao, you made a lot of money, this time you picked up another
A big leak!”
"What?!" After hearing this, Wen Ting looked at Lin Haitao and then at Jiahao, confused.
Lin Haitao immediately explained: "Sister Wen Ting, you don't know, Brother Yao has found another big treasure!"
"What baby? Where is it?" Wen Ting asked in surprise and joy.
Lin Haitao pointed to the mutton-fat jade-like porcelain bottle in Jiahao's hand and said, "Here, that's the thing!"
Wen Ting said disapprovingly: "Isn't that just a piece of bone china?"
Lin Haitao nodded and said: "It is indeed bone china, but it is not ordinary bone china, but made of relics, and it is very old! That piece of porcelain can not only prove that China has mature bone china manufacturing technology a long time ago
, and it is a magic weapon with special functions, so let alone tens of thousands of yuan, it is worth considering the high price of hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions! Now this thing has arrived
Brother Yao has it, it’s his, let him do whatever he wants!”
"Ah?!" Wen Ting immediately opened her eyes wide and stared at Jiahao with an expression of disbelief. Due to being too excited, her voice trembled slightly and she said, "Brother Yao, is this true?"
Jiahao nodded vigorously and said: "Well, it's true. Wen Ting, why don't you come and experience it too? Even though this bottle is small, it does have something different. It is extremely delicate.
, as if it were made of mutton-fat jade.”
"Well, let me take a look!" Wen Ting nodded enthusiastically, and then she stepped forward to carefully inspect the so-called "relic bottle".
The thing feels as warm as jade when touched, and emits a strange light, which is enough to convince people.
"It's really unexpected!" After reading it, Wen Ting sighed, "Old Duan will take you there, and you will find such a good thing. If it is really made of relics, it will be really valuable.
!”
Lin Haitao agreed: "Isn't that true?! Brother Yao is so lucky! Why is it so easy for him to pick up leaks?!"
Wen Ting said with a smile: "That's because he has good eyesight!"
The two of them praised Jiahao one by one. After a while, Lin Haitao suddenly said: "Brother Yao, let's play with the Four Seasons Bagua Lock. I really want to study that thing."
So funny!"
Jiahao agreed without hesitation: "Yes, okay."
So they played with the machine lock. In addition to explaining to Lin Haitao and Wen Ting the lock-picking methods they had already used, Jiahao also explained to them the other lock-picking methods, step by step.
Come until the other party understands it completely.
"It turns out it's so simple!" After understanding it, Lin Haitao tried it several times by himself, and it worked every time. He was very happy and said hurriedly, "Brother Yao, you are so smart! The simpler things are, the more complicated they are. If you don't understand it,
It is really difficult to open this lock, and it will only become more and more complicated, and it will fall into a messy cycle!"
Jiahao smiled and said: "Yes, it was only because I had some understanding at the beginning that I opened the lock relatively easily."
Lin Haitao said: "Brother Yao, these methods are simpler than the ones you used before, especially the method of directly opening the machine. It's so amazing! Why didn't you demonstrate it to Grandmaster and the others at that time?
, I think they don’t know the method. It’s as if you made this lock yourself!”
Jiahao shook his head and said with a smile: "Just open it."
He didn't want to show off in front of the Patriarch and the others. Firstly, it was to give face to the seniors present, and secondly, he had to keep a low profile and not be too arrogant, otherwise he would be jealous.
