Chapter 119 Precious Buddhist Altar
What Su Lu said was right, the white jade Guanyin and the golden Buddha statue were indeed extremely precious, but Su Lu was wrong, the real treasure was not the Buddha statue and Guanyin, but this Buddhist altar...

Huo Mingzhu had already given up all he could, and didn't stare at the shrine for a long time, then turned to the guy and said, "My little brother, are you guessing that we will think that the Guanyin statue and the golden Buddha statue are priceless, so we have the heart to give up?" ?”

"Isn't it? The guest's treasure is more precious than these two things?" The guy still smiled.

Huo Mingzhu smiled, but her smile was hidden behind Yasha's mask, no one could see clearly, she stared at the guy and said: "The Buddha statue and Avalokitesvara are certainly precious, but gold and jade are the most indispensable things in the world. Yes. If you can find good quality jade, it is not impossible to carve another white jade Guanyin, let alone a golden Buddha statue, the gold spent to cast a golden Buddha can also be counted."

"What do you say?" the guy asked with a smile.

Huo Mingzhu touched the Buddhist altar with her hand, brushed off a layer of dust on the surface, twisted it with her fingertips, and said: "This Buddhist altar is made of golden nanmu, which grows very slowly and cannot be obtained for more than a hundred years. Such a big tree, and the climate in Dayong is not suitable for the growth of golden nanmu, so it is rare to get some golden nanmu wood in the small border country."

Huo Mingzhu said, looking at the guy, he just smiled, and was very interested in listening to Huo Mingzhu's continuation.

Huo Mingzhu continued to explain as he wished: "Furthermore, there is no other craftsman who can carve the hair of a person on golden nanmu so lifelike, except for Qin San, a master hand more than a hundred years ago. After Qin San Even if it has been handed down for nearly a hundred years, no one can reach his level after several generations, and this carver should have been lost since then. If we compare these two points, the preciousness and rarity of this Buddhist altar is clearly more in On top of the golden Buddha statue and the white jade Guanyin."

Su Hui was confused by Huo Mingzhu's words, but she had no way out, so she had to listen to her lady's nonsense.

However, that guy obviously didn't expect Huo Mingzhu to be able to say these great truths.He was quite honest, nodded and said: "What the distinguished guest said is indeed true. This Buddhist altar was written by the sage Qin San. It is made of the only one hundred-year-old golden nanmu in the world. It took Qin 30 years to carve it. The Buddha statues in it are the same as Guanyin, but they are just a foil for this Buddhist altar. You are a knowledgeable guest, and you can see the clues at a glance, what a wise eye!"

But after the guy finished speaking, he changed the subject: "Even if the distinguished guest is knowledgeable and can see the preciousness of the Buddhist altar at a glance, the bet is still valid. If the distinguished guest saw the preciousness of gold and jade at a glance before, he only needs to Compared with gold and jade, but now compared with a unique Buddhist shrine in this world, I am afraid that the chances of winning are even less. Has the honored guest planned to keep his ears, which one should he choose?"

This arrogant attitude made it clear that Huo Mingzhu and the two of them could not produce any treasures.Su Hui originally thought that Huo Mingzhu had come up with some idea, but now she was still facing a dead end, her body was going to go limp immediately.

Huo Mingzhu grabbed Sulu's arm with one hand, took out something from the sleeve pocket with the other hand, but handed it to the man without panic, just smiled and said: "The altar is indeed extremely precious, but my treasure is missing." It is vulgar than the Buddhist altar. Brother, you only said what would happen if we lost, but never said what would happen if we won, let alone how to draw? If there is a treasure that is tied with this altar, should it be counted? We win?"

"This..." The guy was choked to death by Huo Mingzhu's words. He never thought of a draw. He never thought that there was any treasure in the world that was more precious than that altar. The guests who came to "North Street" Nine times out of ten, they left their ears here, and the rest of the guests left undisturbed. Over the years, there will not be more than ten people.

"The guest's tone is very loud, why don't you come and have a try. I'm afraid the guest is just playing tricks..." The guy was quite disdainful.

Even Suhui couldn't help pulling Huo Mingzhu's arm: "My lord, let's stop fighting, what kind of treasure do you have, lord? It can compare to the wood or gold thread that has passed through thousands of years..."
