Chapter 22 Pixiu
"It turns out to be Mr. Ye. I've never heard of your name in Yanjing City. I guess it's your first time to participate in such a large auction. What an experience."

Although Wang Chuyuan's tone was polite, it was very uncomfortable in his ears.

After saying that, Wang Chuyuan took a deep look at Shen Qiuyu and left with the bodyguards behind him, because the sound from the speaker had already sounded, and the auction was about to start.

Hundreds of tables and chairs were neatly arranged at the front of the hall. According to the seat numbers on the back of the number plates, several people found their seats and sat down, and their own service staff served drinks.

Ye Feng and Shen Qiuyu sat in the middle of the second row, Bi Wenbin and He Qingyang sat in the first row on the right, and Wang Chuyuan sat on the left in the third row.

After a crisp bell rang, the auction officially began!
"Drink Xingyun drinks and enjoy a healthy life. I am Mu Chen, the auctioneer and host of this auction. On behalf of the organizer, I warmly welcome all distinguished guests to participate in the No. 19 Xingyun Stone Gambling Festival. The participants of this Stone Gambling Festival The theme is jade, please watch the big screen and appreciate the treasures that nature has given to us humans!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, and then the big screen in front lit up.

Various gems, jade, and emeralds are presented on the big screen one after another. Some are miraculous, some are magnificent, and some are dreamy and blurry, so beautiful that people forget to breathe.

After the exhibition on the big screen was completed, the lights in the hall turned on again, and the auctioneer loudly said: "Now, let's ask our beautiful hostess to present the first auction item today!"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a beautiful lady wearing a cheongsam came out from the corner of the front desk pushing a trolley.

The items on the cart were covered with a red cloth, and everyone was guessing what the first auction item was.

The etiquette lady walked to the auction table and stood next to it. With a professional smile on her face, she reached out and lifted the red cloth.

At the same time, a huge physical photo appeared on the huge screen behind the auctioneer. It was a 360-degree photo of the first auction item with no blind spots.

The first auction item is a jade-carved brave, about the size of a baby's fist. It can be seen on the big screen that the carving is extremely exquisite and looks lifelike.

"The jade carving of Pixiu is a bit interesting." Bi Wenbin muttered to himself.

The auctioneer held a microphone and loudly said: "The first auction item, a jade carving of Pixiu, is from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Pixiu, also known as 'Warding Off Evil and Tianlu', is a ferocious and auspicious beast recorded in ancient Chinese books and folk myths and legends."

"Ancient Feng Shui scholars in China believe that Pixiu is an auspicious beast that can turn disaster into good fortune. From ancient times to the present, emperors and common people have attached great importance to collecting and wearing Pixiu. Legend has it that in addition to its effects of bringing luck and warding off evil spirits, Pixiu also It has the functions of holding down the house, transforming Tai Sui, and promoting marriage. In addition, Pixiu can also bring joy and good luck."

"This jade carving of Pi Xiu is exquisitely crafted and of high quality. The carving technique used is the yin and yang knife technique. It is truly a masterpiece among jade carvings."

The auctioneer's voice was sonorous and powerful, and he promoted the advantages of this jade carving.

"Mr. Shen, will there be fakes in the auction?" Ye Feng asked Shen Qiuyu beside him.

Shen Qiuyu replied: "Fakes rarely appear in auctions, especially in large-scale auctions like this, the chance of fakes is even slimmer. These antiques put up for auction have been authenticated by domestic professional appraisal institutions. Generally speaking, Next, before the auction, every antique will be appraised by at least three appraisers. If these three appraisers look at it at the same time, it may be a fake."

Listening to Shen Qiuyu's explanation, Ye Feng thought that the chance of a counterfeit product was indeed close to zero.

"Pixiu's eyes are smart and powerful, the overall shape is ingenious, the lines on the abdomen are clear and clear, and the local details are very good. It is indeed the carving technique of the famous Yin Yang knife."

"Why does this Pixiu feel like it's placed in a coffin?" Ye Feng murmured to himself.

Ye Feng had long attached his spiritual power to his eyes to observe the Pixiu, but he could not detect any spiritual energy at all. There was even a little Yin Qi leaking out, so he made the above guess.

He Qingyang heard Ye Feng's words and turned around to look at him appreciatively: "Young friend Ye Feng is right. This Pixiu was indeed placed in the coffin. Specifically, it should be held by the left hand of the owner of the tomb. ." Shen Qiuyu heard the conversation between the two, and the expression on her face was a little embarrassed. She originally planned to bid, but since it was something from a dead person, she might as well forget it.

"Old man He, do you know the story of Pi Xiu?" Bi Wenbin also wanted to show off in front of He Qingyang.

"What allusion?" He Qingyang asked.

"When Jiang Ziya was helping King Wu defeat Zhou, he encountered a brave animal during a march, but no one knew it at the time. Jiang Ziya thought it looked very powerful, so he tried every means to tame it and use it as his mount. He led it in many battles. Win."

"King Wu of Zhou saw that Pixiu was so brave and miraculous, so he gave him an official title with the title of 'Yun'. At that time, Jiang Ziya discovered that Pixiu ate an astonishing amount of food every day, but never urinated or defecated. Its only excretion was from the fur all over its body. A little bit of sweat with a strange fragrance was released. After smelling this strange fragrance, animals from all directions rushed to follow the scent, only to be eaten by Pixiu." Bi Wenbin told the allusion.

He Qingyang didn't believe it: "What kind of allusion is this? Why haven't I heard of it? You must have made it up yourself."

"Believe it or not, read more books in the future if you have nothing to do." Bi Wenbin criticized.

"The starting price for the jade carving of Pixiu is 60 yuan. Each increase in price will be at least 1 yuan. The auction begins!" The auctioneer struck the auction hammer.

"65 million!"

"70 million!"

"75 million!"

"..."

“37号先生出价90万,有没有更高的?18号女士出价95万!46号先生出价100万……”

The bidding was fierce, and soon the price of the first auction item exceeded 100 million.

The world of rich people is so crazy.

You know, knowledgeable people all know that the jade carving of Pixiu came from a tomb and can be used as a shop exhibit. If you carry it with you or put it at home, it will affect Feng Shui.

Anyone who plays antiques will basically believe in Feng Shui.

"I offer 110 million!"

"120 million fifty thousand!"

Bi Wenbin raised the number plate in his hand and shouted: "140 million!"

A direct increase of 15 would, he thought, make most people give up bidding.

But what surprised him was that after he bid, a guy suddenly shouted: "180 million!"

A direct increase of 40!
