I also know a little bit about antiques. Generally speaking, antiques are nothing more than jade, gold and silver, porcelain, calligraphy and paintings, etc., but I have never heard of anything like snails. Even if there are any, they are just handicrafts at best, and their value is not high.
How high is it? This snail can't be a handicraft no matter how you look at it. If it looks like this, even if it is a relic of an emperor from any dynasty or generation, I'm afraid it has no value at all. In my heart, I don't think much of this snail.
.
I turned around and looked at my grandpa. They were all experts, and their eyes were sharp. If this was a treasure, they should be able to see it at a glance.
Mo Yibai, Ma Xiaolan and others around me all reacted the same way as me. They couldn't tell what the snail was and turned their heads in the direction of my grandfather.
My grandfather watched in silence as the fan in the snail's hand shook slowly and slowly, his eyebrows slightly wrinkled.
He glanced at my grandfather secretly and asked: "Old Master Long, have you ever seen what that thing is? I'm blind and can't guess it."
My grandfather looked at An with disdain and said: "You are not blind, you are mentally retarded. What is that thing? Isn't it nonsense? If it's not a snail, is it still a piece of cake?"
He smiled faintly and didn't seem to care about my grandfather scolding him. He just smiled and said: "Old Master Long, stop joking. You know what I'm asking you!"
Before An finished speaking, Li Juan also spoke up: "Long Yan, please stop being so pretentious. You can see it and tell me where it comes from!"
Li Juan was very imposing, but strong women are different. I saw my grandfather's face change slightly, and then he said obediently, "That snail is a bit ugly, but it's definitely not an ordinary thing. It's
The function of the snail does not lie in itself, but in the things related to it. Legend has it that this snail is called a fairy snail, and as long as you touch it three times, several fairies will appear to dance and toast!"
"Really? It's not Aladdin's magic lamp, but it has such a use? Why have I never heard of such a treasure in the world?" The young master tilted his head and asked.
"If you guys know it, then no one will know it!" my grandfather said.
Li Juan asked again: "In what year, generation, and where did such a magical thing come from?"
My grandfather pondered for a moment, and after scanning everyone on both sides, he whispered: "The fairy snail is the only one in the world. The age cannot be verified. It came from the tomb of the immortal. Of course, this is just a legend. Did it come from the tomb of the immortal?
As for the Immortal Tomb, we will wait until we enter inside. You all know what kind of place the Immortal Tomb is, and you all know why you are here. I won’t hide anything since I can sit here with such luxury."
I looked at my grandfather in surprise. My grandfather was so sure that there really is a place like the Tomb of the Immortals in this world. I never believed it at all, but now I almost completely believe it. Is there really a place like the Tomb of the Immortals in this world?
There are too many strange and incomprehensible things. Are there really gods in the world? Is that really the tomb of gods? I believe there is such a tomb, but I vaguely feel that this is possible.
It is not a tomb of gods, perhaps there will be a terrible layout waiting for us to uncover.
The red eyes in my heart suddenly appeared again, staring at me coldly, with a smile thicker than before...
"Master Xiaolong, what's wrong with you?" The young master next to me gently patted the back of my hand.
I woke up suddenly, glanced at the young master calmly, shook my head, and motioned for him to continue looking at the situation below.
The auctioneer has already introduced the entire treasure, but the description was not very detailed. He simply said that this is a thing that can summon beautiful women, and didn't say anything else.
The treasure fighting conference is like this. There will be no particularly detailed introduction to any treasure or promotion. As for whether to buy or not, or whether to take a photo or not, it is still a test of personal vision and ability to measure value.
"Fairy snail, 100 million, you can bid now!" the auctioneer said.
With a commotion, someone had already started bidding.
"One hundred and one billion!"
"Ten billion!"
"..."
The people sitting here are all people with good eyesight. Even though the snail looks the most ordinary, there are still people bidding on it.
Although I am very curious about how this snail can summon beautiful women, and I am also very curious to see what this thing that my grandfather said came from the tomb of the gods looks like, and whether it really has fairy energy, but that
I was scared when I heard the price.
I can't even afford a fucking cent, so I'd better sit here and watch the excitement. I looked at the group of people in our box. Everyone was calm and looked down.
No one has any intention of making any move.
I originally thought that An would be the first to take action after finding out that this baby came from the tomb of an immortal. Unexpectedly, An was extremely patient and kept looking at her with a faint smile on her lips.
I can finally see that everyone here has a tougher mentality than me, and their level is so high that it’s difficult to see through it. Being able to sit here is indeed extraordinary. I am honored to be invited here.
Come on, I can only feel flattered.
"Old Master Long, don't you plan to take action?" Li Juan asked my grandfather.
"There's no rush." My grandfather said slowly, "What I'm waiting for hasn't appeared yet."
"But this is also from the Immortal Tomb, isn't Mr. Long curious?" An said.
"I'm not you. Are you looking at my face? If you like it, just take the photo!" My grandfather didn't like Yin, and he was even a bit tit-for-tat.
An was as unhurried as a saint, with a calm expression on his face. He slowly stood up, raised the sign at hand, and bid one billion!
In an instant, the entire Jinxi Building became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on our box.
As the auctioneer shouted out the deal, the entire Jinxi Building was in an uproar.
I have auctioned gold and jewelry, and the prices of millions are trivial, but to be able to auction a mud snail with a price of one billion yuan at a treasure fighting conference is unprecedented.
An An sat down slowly, his expression still calm, as if what he shouted just now was not two million, but twenty yuan. I felt that I was hurt inside, and rich people really can't afford to be hurt.
Another treasure came up, and the auctioneer continued to auction at the top of his lungs.
After the fairy snail was auctioned, three more items were sold. One was an authentic calligraphy by Wang Xizhi. The starting price was 5 billion. In the end, 7 billion was auctioned. The second item was from the Warring States Period.
A piece of jade, the starting price was one billion, and the final price was two billion. The third piece was a bronze, the starting price was relatively low, one million, and the final price was five million.
.
These things are considered to be top-quality treasures. I have always known that treasure fighting conferences are a place to burn money. What I didn’t expect is that the money burned is really terrifying. This much money is enough for countless poor people to support themselves for several lifetimes.
They are used here, but they are just for a few useless things. You can’t eat them, use them, or live forever. Sometimes I don’t understand the antique industry. You say these things have no use value.
, but it can create such huge value, how unreasonable. But as time goes by, the development of the antique industry is indeed getting more and more prosperous, and there are rarely downturns.
Only rich people who have enough to eat and have nothing to do will spend all day studying these useless things.
"Next, let's bring out the final treasure of this treasure fighting conference, the golden silk bag! I believe that everyone sitting here today is here for this final treasure!" the auctioneer chirped on the stage.
Started talking.
I turned a deaf ear to the auctioneer's words and stared closely at the two beauties in cheongsam, waiting for them to bring the treasure to me.
Everyone in the entire venue is an exception. The auctioneer's words are no longer important. Now your own eyes are the most important. What everyone cares about most is this final treasure.
In an instant, the entire Jinxi Building became quiet. No sound could be heard in our entire box. It seemed that everyone held their breath. I subconsciously turned my head and looked at everyone's expressions. Everyone's expressions were...
Very dignified.
The people in the other boxes may have come just to open their eyes, but I am certain that the people in our box are determined to get this thing this time.
All the people just now, except for the fairy snail from the tomb of the gods, everyone seemed to have a lack of interest in other things. Those vulgar things have long been out of their sight, and if they have too much money, they will
The degree will also grow.
I think some of us sitting here are like this. They have no regard for things like Wang Xizhi's authentic works. The only thing that can catch their eye is probably the thing owned by the gods.
The auctioneer's voice was the only thing left in Jinxi Building, echoing in the air.
"It is impossible to verify when this brocade bag was produced. The golden brocade bag has two values, one lies in itself and the other lies in its contents. The seller is not allowed to disclose what is inside, so I can only keep it.
Suspense. As for what's inside, I'm afraid only the person who took the photo knows this. Without further ado, the bidding will start now, and the starting price is one billion!"
Then came the bidding sounds one after another. It seemed that not only the people in our luxury bags were very interested in the golden brocade bag, but also the people in the other boxes were bidding fiercely.
I looked at the bidders who were generally on the second floor. The people in the room next to us were bidding more diligently, and it seemed they were all people with strong financial resources.
The people in our box have always been calm. I don't know if my grandfather has any intention of taking action, but I can tell that An An and Li Juan have been waiting for the final blow.
It can be seen that these two people are both veterans. First, they look at the situation and the life-and-death struggle between others. No one makes a move. In the end, they make a sudden attack and raise the price to a price that others cannot accept but they can accept.
Keep the treasure in your pocket.
My mouth was dry and I picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. My eyes were looking back and forth at the golden brocade bag. I had long recognized that this brocade bag was really the one we had in the ancient tomb, Mo Yibai.
The kit I got.
What I am curious about now is not the secret that leads to the tomb of the immortals contained in this kit, but what I am more curious about is the seller of the kit.
Thinking back to that shadow that didn't look like a human being that could control zombies, and those red eyes, made the hairs on my body stand up. And I still couldn't figure out whether that thing was a human or a ghost.
, I just vaguely felt that it might not be a good thing.
Since this thing came into his hands after all the hard work, why did he put it up for auction? Did he snatch this thing just to sell it for money? It makes no sense! I was puzzled and turned around to look at Mo Mo over there.
