That drawing of a faceless woman was eventually auctioned off by the woman who was trying to turn the tables.
The auction continued.
Soon, two more items were auctioned off, a painting by a modern writer, with a starting price of 800 yuan, was eventually sold for a surprising 50,000 yuan.
There was also a modern glass carving that looked very gorgeous, said to be the work of a certain master in the glass carving circle, and in the end, it surprisingly also fetched a price of 100,000 yuan.
“Unexpectedly ah, this auction even has this kind of small things.”Zhang Chu whispered.
Tang Duo then laughed, “That’s how it is supposed to be ah, auctions don’t always have millions of dollars for everything, I’ve also seen an auction that sold a six year old child’s painting with a starting price of only one hundred dollars.”
Shangguan Qingxue then dozed off, “Ah …… so boring.”
And just then, the auctioneer said again, “The next thing to be auctioned is a bit special, it’s a special Buddha statue!”
Soon, someone with a plate carrying a one-metre-high Buddha statue on the lift, the statue was covered with a red cloth, it was not possible to see the real appearance of this Buddha statue.
At this time, the auctioneer said, “The carving style of this Buddha statue is very interesting, it is divided into the front and back, on the front side, is a Buddha with a strange posture, while on the back side, is a Taoist man pinching the mysterious handprints.”
After saying that, someone removed the red cloth on top of this Buddha statue.
A blackened carving appeared in front of everyone’s eyes.
Zhang Chu originally did not have much interest in it, but when this item appeared, he suddenly had a movement in his heart, “Eh?”
At this moment, in Zhang Chu’s Sea of Consciousness, the Star Pagoda unexpectedly moved slightly, as if it had detected the unusual nature of this Buddha statue.
At the same time, Zhang Chu himself could feel a strange power fluctuation coming from above the Buddha statue.
This power fluctuation was very secretive, but it was still captured by Zhang Chu.
At this time, Zhang Chu carefully observed that Buddha statue, the Buddha statue was very thin, completely lacking the chubby and festive feeling of the Maitreya Buddha, it looked as if the Buddha statue was more like malnourished, giving off a skinny and bony feeling.
Auctioneer is also in the detailed introduction: “This Buddha statue, and our common perception of the Buddha statue, slightly different, it comes from the ancient western region, is a team of explorers from the desert dug out of things.”
“The front side of the Buddha statue, according to our examination, should be pinched is the seal of transmigration suffering, this kind of seal is rarely seen in the Buddha statue to perform, because this kind of seal represents the hell of the Tantric Buddhism.”
“At the same time, we can see that the five senses of this Buddha statue are very miserable, as if it’s crying, so we feel that this thing, should be cast by some desperate monks when some mysterious dynasty in history was about to fall.”
Immediately after that, the auctioneer had someone turn the Buddha statue around.
On the back of the Buddha statue, there was surprisingly a Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest also looked thin, but his face was round and looked red.
At this time, the auctioneer said, “To be honest, the real symbolism of this collectible, we have asked many experts and they can’t tell.”
“On the back of the Buddha, why is there a Taoist priest.”
“Whether this Taoist priest has some kind of special meaning, or whether there was indeed such a Taoist priest once in history, we don’t know.”
“But one thing is certain, this thing, is definitely an ancient artefact, and through carbon dating, it is a full 1600 years old.”
“If not that archaeological team has casualties, urgently need a sum of money to resettle the team members, I’m afraid that people that archaeological team, still can’t afford to auction this thing.”
At this moment, many people on the scene also talked.
It could be seen that many collectors were very interested in this item.
Zhang Chu was equally interested, as this item was able to cause a disturbance in the Star Tower, it must be extraordinary.
At this moment, the auctioneer spoke, “Alright, the reserve price for this item, ten million!”
When this reserve price was opened, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
For most collectors, this was just an item that didn’t know the exact age, the exact role and background, and even the material wasn’t clear.
Directly ten million, it was a bit dark.
Zhang Chu, on the other hand, sighed in his heart, “Damn, it’s expensive!”
To say that going to Xu Yuan Street to pick up leaks, there was still so one in a million possible words, then wanting to pick up leaks in the auction was simply the same as going up to the sky to pick the stars, it was simply impossible.
Of course, even if picking up leaks was not possible, Zhang Chu also intended to auction this item down and study it to see why exactly this item could cause the vibrations of the Star Tower in his body.
Zhang Chu did not bid rashly.
Otherwise, if someone with an interest knew that he had his eye on it, it might lead to others bidding on it indiscriminately, Zhang Chu still wanted to see if there were any other people on the scene who were interested in it.
Scanning the room, he found that almost all the collectors were slightly shaking their heads.
No one was willing to gamble large sums of money for an item of unclear origin and odd shape.
The auctioneer obviously encountered this situation often as well.
She smiled and said to everyone, “Gentlemen, although the positioning of this item is not clear, its age is true, and perhaps, this item can corroborate the existence of certain ancient countries in the Ancient West.”
“Even the legendary Loulan Ancient Kingdom may be related to it, such an item, if its origin can be verified, I’m afraid that it will leap into a priceless treasure.”
“Ten million, is there really no one to consider it?”
However, no matter what the auctioneer said, no one raised their cards.
In the end, the auctioneer gently shook his head, “Alright, since everyone isn’t interested, then ……”
“One thousand and ten thousand!”A lazy voice suddenly spoke.
The crowd instantly turned their heads and looked at the bidder.
It wasn’t Zhang Chu, but the young man beside Pang Chong, Wang Gao Yang!
“Eh?”Zhang Chu’s brows furrowed as a bad feeling appeared in Zhang Chu’s heart, “Could it be that his intentions are similar to mine?”
At this moment, Zhang Chu carefully observed Wang Gao Yang, and immediately afterwards, Zhang Chu was surprised to discover that he was somewhat unable to see his reality.
This Wang Gao Yang’s entire body, seemed to be shrouded inside a special aura, either, his cultivation was good, preventing the prying eyes of the general public, or, he had some sort of treasure protecting him.
But no matter what, the fact that this person bid on this item was enough to prove that this person had a bit of a doorway.
Beside Zhang Chu, Shangguan Qingxue sensed Zhang Chu’s emotions, and she immediately asked in a low voice, “Zhang Chu, do you want this item as well?”
Zhang Chu nodded slightly, “This thing is a bit odd.”
“I’ll help you shoot it?”Shangguan Qingxue asked.
Zhang Chu shook his head slightly, “No, let’s look at the situation first.”
Right now, Zhang Chu had money, but he didn’t want to go down so quickly because Zhang Chu found that it seemed that Wang Gao Yang was not the only one who was interested in this item on the scene.
Sure enough, without waiting for the auctioneer to urge him, someone suddenly raised his card, “Ten million and fifty thousand!”
The rules of the auction, each increase in price, shall not be less than ten thousand.
Seeing that someone was competing with him, Wang Gao Yang lazily shouted, “Eleven million!”
“Eleven million and five hundred thousand!”Another voice immediately followed.
“Twelve million!”Wang Gao Yang no longer slouched this time, but sat up straight, looking as if he was starting to get serious.
“Twelve million and five hundred thousand!”The voice continued to shout.
Zhang Chu smiled, this auction was a bit interesting.
It seemed that he was not the only one who had discovered the situation.
“If that’s the case, I’m afraid it will be difficult to take this Buddha statue at a cheap price.”Zhang Chu sighed in his heart.
