As the big boss of Xunran Jewelry, Zixun happened to have an invitation to participate in the auction. Without an invitation, he really couldn't get in.
Song Chuhan was a policeman and had to go to work, but he didn't have time to accompany them. After agreeing to contact them after get off work, he drove back to Yucheng Police Station; while Zixun made a call to the company, and within a short time, there was a man wearing black-rimmed glasses. A female employee came to them with an invitation, and it was not Han Wan'er from August 15th.
One invitation can bring three people, excluding the employee who sent the invitation, there are exactly three.
Several people entered the venue under the leadership of the waiter. It was already past two o'clock. A host with a round head and big ears like Maitreya Buddha was talking non-stop to adjust the atmosphere. But what really attracted people's attention was the person standing in front of him.
There is a row of beauties in swimsuits behind them.
The fortune teller's eyes widened when he saw it, but he said: "The world is really going downhill. Why do we arrange for such a bunch of naked beauties to come to an antique auction? It's better to look at antiques."
Is it better to look at beautiful women?"
Ye Kai rolled his eyes and no longer had any hope in this Taoist master's integrity: "Old Cao, are you really a Taoist priest? You are not a flower master, are you?"
"Nonsense, I've been among thousands of flowers without even a single leaf touching my body. Do you want me to verify my identity? Master Dao is a veritable boy."
"Expressing serious doubts."
Zixun protested: "Hey, hey, hey, can you two be careful about what you say? There is a beautiful woman next to you!"
Ye Kai echoed: "That's right, that's right, fortune tellers are not very particular. If the ancestors of the Mayi Sect knew that they had a disciple like you, they would probably jump out of their graves to clean up the family."
Cao Erba shook his head: "Ye Zi, you don't understand this. Although the disciples of the Mayi Sect are also called Taoist priests, they are not monks. They can still get married and have children, drink wine and eat meat. The reason why I am still a boy now is that
It has something to do with the skills I practice. Moreover, I must remain a child before the great calamity of twenty-eight years old, otherwise there is a high probability that I will be wiped out. This is what my master said. His divination skills are a hundred times better than mine.
"
After hearing this, Ye Kai frowned and was a little worried for him, not knowing what this catastrophe was.
After a while, the auction on the stage officially began.
The first item to be auctioned was Zhang Daqian's mountain and forest scenery, with a starting price of 800,000, and a minimum increase of no less than 50,000 each time.
When others were competing to bid, Ye Kai looked at the Immortal Phoenix Eyes and immediately lost interest. He came here to hunt for treasures, real treasures, but he didn't care about the so-called collection value. On this painting, there was no slight fluctuation in spiritual power.
None, it was worthless to him. Of course, if he knew that Zhang Daqian lived in the post-modern era, he wouldn't even need to open the Eyes of the Immortal Phoenix.
The painting was finally auctioned off by Guest No. 15 for 1.2 million. The painting was paid on the spot and traded on the spot.
The next auction items included Longquan Kiln pots, Ming Dynasty Ruyi Guanyin Pei, Hetian jade daggers, etc. Ye Kai looked at more than a dozen auction items in a row, but none of them was to his liking. Zi Xun asked him in a low voice: "Ye Kai
, are you here to see something new, or do you want to buy something to give as a gift?"
Ye Kai smiled and said: "I have never been to such a high-end auction before. Coming here to experience it is an eye-opener."
He sighed slightly. His previous thoughts were too optimistic. The auction items were all antique treasures that had been collected by others for countless years. They were tossed around. Even if there were really good items, they would have been discovered long ago.
Taken away.
"If you don't want to buy it, just leave. I promised Wan'er to take her to the hospital later. I'm not very interested in antiques either," Zixun said.
Ye Kai looked at the fortune teller: "Old Cao, is there anyone you like?"
Cao Erba sneered: "What's wrong with Maimen? I don't even want this kind of garbage for free."
His tone was so outrageous that a lady next to him looked at him with disdain and concluded that this guy was bragging.
"Okay, let's go!" Ye Kai said and stood up, but when he glanced upward, the beauty in a swimsuit was bringing out a basin, and it was a wooden sculpture on top. However, when Ye Kai moved his eyes, he clearly felt
There are strong spiritual energy fluctuations above.
"Huh?" At this moment, Sister Huang, who had been silent for a long time, actually made a voice, "This thing is a bit interesting."
Ye Kaixin suddenly moved, and immediately opened the Immortal Phoenix Eyes, and even turned on the perspective function. Immediately, he found that there was a not-too-round bead in the belly of the wood carving, and the rich spiritual power fluctuations emanated from it, and
This spiritual power has a faint golden light, and you can feel the majestic momentum and a kind of compassion that saves all living beings.
"Sister Huang, what is that?"
"What a mellow Buddhist power. This should be a relic left behind by a Buddhist practitioner after his death. The most interesting thing is that there is actually a yin and yang power hidden in this relic. In other words, the relic left behind
The person behind this thing is a guy who cultivates both Buddhism and Taoism, he is really messy."
Here, Ye Kai is still staring at the wood carving, and the host above has already spoken: "This is an agarwood-carved statue of Jigong. After joint identification by three experts, it was proved that the ornament came from the Southern Song Dynasty, and it was none other than Daoji monk Li Xiuyuan.
In the old days..., the starting price was 1.5 million, and each increase in price must not be less than 50,000."
This antique looks good and the carving is good, and the statue of Jigong is very popular among Buddhists. It is a good item to give as a gift. Therefore, as soon as the auction started, the price kept rising. At one time, it was called 3 million, and it turned over immediately.
Double.
Huang said in Ye Kai's Zi Mansion: "After taking this photo, I have already figured out how to deal with the corpse soldiers. The relics inside are the key."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kai certainly didn't hesitate and raised the number plate he got when he came in: "3.05 million!"
"3.1 million!"
"3.2 million!"
"..."
Following up all the way, it reached 3.8 million. At this point, there was only a middle-aged lady competing with Ye Kai. She turned her head and glanced at Ye Kai. It was not until Ye Kai quoted a price of 4 million that she shook her head and gave up.
.
Ye Kai smiled, stepped forward to swipe his card for the transaction, and put the ornaments directly into his backpack.
Cao Erba felt strange: "Why did you buy a statue of Daoji? Monk Daoji was crazy in his life. He was not bound by the precepts. He was half Buddha and half Taoist. His status in both Buddhist and Taoist cultivators was rather embarrassing. You didn't buy it back every day.
Will you pay homage to him sooner or later?"
Ye Kai was delighted when he heard this and smiled but did not answer: "Hua Laozi has 4 million, so of course I have my own reasons."
But he thought about it in his heart. He had heard about the life of Monk Daoji. He was a living Buddha in the world. He heard that the power of the law was boundless. The relics in it were both Buddhist and Taoist. And Jigong was also half Buddha and half Taoist. So what was inside this ornament?
The relics probably really belong to Monk Daoji!
And Huang was already communicating with his spiritual thoughts: "The corpse cultivator is sinister and evil, and is very difficult to deal with, but the Buddhist Xuan Kung Fu is its nemesis. I just thought about teaching you a real Buddhist Kung Fu, but the time is too short.
You can't cultivate it, but now that you have this relic, things will be much simpler."
