Elder Lin stared at the beads for a while, but didn’t see anything, and asked Ye Qiu, “What is this thing?”
“It’s a treasure.” Ye Qiu replied with a smile.
“What exactly is the treasure?” Elder Lin asked after him.
“It’s a treasure anyway.”
It wasn’t that Ye Qiu didn’t want to say, it was really because he didn’t know either, as the bead was given to him by the Dragon King.
Elder Lin asked again, “Where did it come from?”
“It was a gift from a monk who travelled around the world, at that time, the monk said that this thing was worth a lot of money and told me to treasure it.”
This passage was actually spoken by the Dragon King.
Just as Ye Qiu finished speaking, Lin Ling’s cold laugh came from the side: “Make it up! You continue to make it up! Still travelling around in the clouds as a high monk, why don’t you say it’s a god who has attained immortality.”
“A broken bead is just a bead, still saying it’s a treasure, really shameless.” Lin Jun followed and cursed.
Ye Qiu said, “Sister Lin and I rushed back all night from Jiangzhou and travelled a long way just to celebrate the old man’s birthday, even if we don’t send any gifts, this gesture alone is enough to show our filial piety. As for shamelessness, I really can’t compare to you guys.”
“What do you mean?” Lin Jun’s face sank.
Ye Qiu laughed, “You know what you’ve done yourself.”
“What did I do? You say.” Lin Jun was uncertain.
“I think it’s better to forget it!” Ye Qiu looked like he was kindly advising, saying, “I’m afraid that if I say it, people will scold you for being shameless.”
“Say! You have to say it!” Lin Jun droned, “If you don’t make things clear today, I won’t be able to spare you!”
“This is what you told me to say, so I said it?”
“Say.”
Ye Qiu looked at Elder Lin and said, “Elder, could you show me the dzi bead that Lin Jun gave you?”
“Grandpa, never give him the dzi, what if he runs away with it?” Lin Jun said hurriedly.
Elder Lin ignored Lin Jun, removed the Heavenly Pearl from his wrist and handed it to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu put the Heavenly Bead in front of his nose and took a deep sniff.
“What are you doing!” Lin Jun cursed loudly, “This is a dzi bead that was worn by a living Buddha, is it something that a punk like you can smell?”
Ye Qiu said calmly, “The living Buddha is a high priest, facing the green lamp and the ancient Buddha all year round, if it’s really something he has worn, it should be tainted with a strong scent of incense, but I didn’t smell the slightest bit of incense from above this dzi.”
“Not only that, the real dzi bead, the material used to make it is fossilised conch, but this dzi bead, it is made of ceramic.”
“Something like this would cost at most a dozen dollars a piece in the market.”
In an instant, the entire room was in an uproar.
“This is actually a fake dzi?”
“It’s incredible.”
“I told you, how can a living Buddha’s things be easily obtained.”
“……” murmurs
rose in all directions.
“Xiao Jun, what’s going on?” Lin Liben asked in a deep voice, his face somewhat unsightly.
“Dad, he’s talking nonsense, this dzi is 100% real ……”
click!
Before Lin Jun could finish his words, he saw the dzi in Ye Qiu’s hand suddenly shatter in two.
Instantly, everyone looked at the Heavenly Bead.
Only the interior of the dzi bead was devoid of any lustre to speak of, and one could tell at a glance that it wasn’t a real dzi bead.
Ye Qiu said, “This is a ceramic-made dzi, and in order to be a bit more realistic, strong acids and alkalis were used when making it, and if this kind of thing is worn on the body, the strong acids and alkalis inside will be absorbed by the skin and the body, and it is extremely harmful, no less than a chronic poison.”
What!
Everyone’s faces changed.
