The identification results are out

"Brother, did you really take a photo of this thing?"

The way Su Binggui looked at Ye Cheng suggested that he thought Ye Cheng was naive and had too much money.

"I'm quite interested in this kind of thing. I can photograph it and examine it. Even if it gets damaged, it's okay. After all, collecting is all about what you enjoy."

Ye Cheng smiled.

"That's right. As long as you enjoy it, you won't lose anything. Brother, my mindset isn't as strong as yours."

Su Binggui smiled.

"Brother Su, do you know the appraisal expert from the Palace Museum?" Ye Cheng suddenly asked.

Su Binggui had been in Kyoto for almost twenty years and ran a company, so he should have quite a lot of connections.

Although it was their first meeting, Ye Cheng felt that it was necessary to establish a close relationship.

This cassock from the late Qing Dynasty needs to be appraised by an expert. You can't just claim that there is a Kesi Dharani quilt in this cassock, which was used in the burial of Emperor Qianlong. Who would believe it?

"An identification expert?" Su Binggui was a little surprised. "Are you trying to identify that cassock?"

"Yes, I feel that this cassock is a bit unusual, so I need to find an expert to identify it. I heard that the experts at the Palace Museum have the highest standards," Ye Cheng said.

"Don't tell me yet; my brother-in-law works in the Forbidden City Museum. He should be familiar with the experts there. However, I can't guarantee whether the experts there are willing to help," Su Binggui said.

His wife's family background was unusual. Because of this, he, a foreigner, was able to establish himself in Kyoto.

"Brother Su, could you please introduce me to him? This cassock has the Dharani Sutra printed on it," Ye Cheng said.

"It seems that my brother is confident," Su Binggui remarked, although he didn't know what the Dharani Sutra was.

Obviously, Ye Cheng didn't buy it on a whim; he saw some mystery in this cassock.

He became a little interested in the origin of the cassock.

After the auction, Ye Cheng paid for the cassock from the late Qing Dynasty.

After returning to the hotel, Ye Cheng couldn't wait to open the cassock.

The pattern on the surface of the satin was very exquisite, and the inner layer had intricate dark patterns, with characters vaguely visible.

He was basically certain that there was an interlayer inside this cassock.

Strangely enough, neither the original owner of the cassock nor the appraiser from Bailey Auction House discovered this. Otherwise, this precious collection worth hundreds of millions would not have fallen into his hands.

He took a deep breath and then carefully opened a slit in the cassock.

If it were just a cassock, this hole would be enough to destroy most of its value.

Soon, a sutra quilt covered with Sanskrit secret mantras appeared in front of Ye Cheng.

"Hiss!" Even though Ye Cheng had already suspected it, successfully verifying it filled him with indescribable excitement.

Such a tapestry quilt with a pure yellow satin background was auctioned for a sky-high price of 1.3 billion.

Ye Cheng didn't dare to examine it further, lest he damage the quilt.

He first took a few photos with his mobile phone and then sent them to Su Binggui.

Then he carefully folded the sutra, wrapped it in his cassock again, and put it in his handbag.

No one would have thought that such a handbag contained a treasure worth over $100 million.

He put the handbag in the safe in the business room.

The safe was fixed to the wall, and the password was for one-time use.

However, Ye Cheng knew that this kind of insurance was not safe.

Because you could enter administrator mode, you could easily open the safe.

Ye Cheng pressed Lock twice on the fresh-keeping box. Dang-dang-dang, the safe displayed the word "super.".

He entered administrator mode.

Ye Cheng tried to enter the initial password: [999999], [111111], [000000]... There was no response. The administrator password had been changed.

So, he exited the administrator mode, then entered the normal mode, pressed the save button, and with a click, the door of the safe opened, and at the same time, a password note slowly extended.

Ye Cheng put the handbag in, closed the door of the safe, and then put away the password note.

In the evening, Su Binggui suddenly called Ye Cheng and said that his brother-in-law had been in contact with an expert from the Palace Museum. The other party took it very seriously and said that he could make an appointment tomorrow.

Ye Cheng was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.

"Brother, it looks like this cassock of yours is a good thing. When the time comes to identify it, I must treat you to a meal," Su Binggui said.

"Brother Su, I definitely want to treat you to this meal. Without your introduction, I wouldn't even have found the connections to the museum experts," Ye Cheng smiled.

The next morning, Ye Cheng left the hotel and went straight to Liulichang Street.

This was a famous cultural street in Kyoto. It was home to a wide range of books, calligraphy, paintings, antiques, and the Four Treasures of the Study. It had become a must-visit place for domestic and foreign tourists interested in Kyoto's culture.

Yaxuan Hall.

This was the agreed-upon place.

The experts Su Binggui's brother-in-law had contacted were not only appraisers from the Palace Museum but also had a shop here.

Ye Cheng noticed that Su Binggui was there.

It was obvious that he was also very curious about Ye Cheng's cassock.

"Brother, you are finally here. Mr. Yan has been talking about it. It seems that you have found something remarkable this time," Su Binggui smiled.

"Young man, where are the items?" An old man in a Tang suit wearing thick reading glasses couldn't wait to ask Ye Cheng when he saw him.

"Hello, Mr. Yan," Ye Cheng greeted, then took out the cassock from his handbag.

After Ye Cheng opened the cassock, revealing the folded sutra quilt inside, Yan Lao, the old man in the Tang suit, put on a pair of gloves and carefully unfolded the Kesdharani Sutra on the yellow satin bottom.

It measured 2 meters in length, 1.38 meters in width, and covered an area of nearly 3 square meters.

"This is a tapestry fabric. It is so large and very rare. If one person were to weave it, it would take several years to complete," Mr. Yan remarked, his eyes shining.

Then he examined it carefully and made some identifications.

"If there is no surprise, this sutra quilt is made of Tibetan antelope cashmere, camphor cashmere, gold thread, etc., and is woven with double-sided tapestry. Tibetan antelope cashmere is extremely precious, and its value is comparable to the same amount of gold."

"A total of four characters are woven on this sutra quilt using tapestry technology."

"The main pagoda pattern is filled with Dharani scriptures in Sanskrit."

"The surrounding area of the tower is covered with exquisite and complicated patterns."

"Such a large-format Kesi fabric is well-deserved to be the 'Excellent Kesi'."

Mr. Yan's face became more and more excited, almost dancing.

Then, he took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Hey, Lao Sun, check the book [Qing Huidian·Funeral] for me about the ordering of the afterlife of emperors in the past dynasties."

"It's like this. I came across a sutra quilt here. It was probably used by a certain Qing emperor."

"What? You have to come over. Okay, okay, okay, I'm here at Yaxuan Hall. Please check it for me quickly. I need it urgently."

"Okay, that's it."

After he hung up the phone, he continued to study it.

Ye Cheng and Su Binggui could only watch from the sidelines, unable to intervene at all.

After all, this kind of professional work can only be done by professionals.

Half an hour passed with no reply, so Mr. Yan quickly called again.

"What? You are already on the way. Why don't you send me the content first?"

"I'm not in a hurry. Can I be in a hurry? I've been waiting for half an hour."

"Then hurry up."

Mr. Yan was speechless.

Another half hour passed, and finally, a car arrived outside the store, and then a few old men walked out and rushed in. They seemed very healthy.

"Where is the quilt?" An old man asked quickly.

Soon, they all gathered in front of the table and began to carefully identify the quilt.

Mr. Yan took a person's cell phone and looked through the captured content.

After a long time, his face became extremely excited, and he read directly, "One yellow satin embroidered with gold-woven Sanskrit dharani and one yellow satin embroidered with nine dragons. Lined with five-color woven gold-woven Dharani satin with Sanskrit characters and various colors woven with gold dragons There are eight colored satins, and every ten has three layers."

"Yes, that's it. This quilt is the one used by Emperor Qianlong," Mr. Yan declared with the utmost certainty.
