Just as he was saying this, the auctioneer Anya on the stage asked: "Mr., seat 197, do you need to pay in cash? Can you get the auction items now?"
"Yes." Lin Feng said, putting the bag back at his feet, then reaching into the bag, taking out a large handful of gold coins, and put them on the table with a clattering sound.
Then, a lot more.
One after another, the table was soon filled. Lin Feng said: "Well, three thousand gold coins... plus one more."
As he said that, he took out another one from the bag, threw it with his hand, and dropped it on the table with a jingle.
The table of shining gold coins made everyone speechless for a while.
Then, two masked men in black clothes were seen, holding a large scale in their hands, leading five women in red, low-cut and tight-fitting satin robes, holding five plates covered with red cloth.
Then, they saw these people sweeping the gold coins on the table onto the scale and weighing them. A man in a black mask said: "Thirty-seven thousand five hundred and twelve grams, a total of three thousand and one gold coins."
, one is not too much, and the other is not too little."
The crowd around him was startled at first, and then burst into an uproar.
Three thousand and one gold coins may not sound like a lot, but no one present could count the gold coins so clearly after grabbing a few handfuls at random.
If anyone doesn't believe it, you can randomly grab 3,001 rice from a bag of rice and see if it can be that accurate.
At this time, Lin Feng said: "A gold coin is 12.5 grams, so there is still 0.5 grams less. I don't know if your scale is not accurate enough or if the gold coin is worn."
As he spoke, he turned his hand over and revealed a gold coin. He then gently grabbed it and squeezed the gold coin into a golden pill. He rolled out a small ball and threw it on the scale: "Okay, add zero."
Five grams is a lot."
The expressions behind the masks of the people around him changed slightly, and their scalps felt numb.
The gold coins in this world are not pure gold, but some metals are mixed into the gold to make it hard and strong to prevent others from scraping off the gold shavings.
Lin Feng can actually roll gold into balls without any fighting spirit. This alone is enough to show his extraordinary strength. If he attacks with all his strength, no one present can stop him, right?
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard the masked man in black say with surprise: "A total of 37,512.5 grams!!!"
In an instant, everyone couldn't help but take a breath, and the auction hall was filled with the sound of breathing.
For a moment, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Lin Feng. They were no longer looking at a nouveau riche, but were looking at a martial arts master with awe.
The scene was completely silent. Everyone just watched quietly as the beauties at the auction held the gold coins on plates and walked behind the scenes with the two masked men in black. Then, someone handed the jade Ruyi to Lin with their own hands.
On the sharp hand.
Lin Feng took the Ruyi and felt it was warm and cold. Looking carefully, he discovered that the Ruyi was actually carved from pieces of mutton-fat soft jade. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a jade!!"
If it were on Earth, let alone an antique, this Ruyi jade, even if it was a modern product, would never be exchanged for just a few million kilograms of grain.
It's a pity that people in this world don't care much about jade and don't pay much attention to jade, so they sold this jade Ruyi at a low price.
Moreover, on earth, let alone antiques tens of thousands of years ago, even Ruyi made of bronze before the Tang Dynasty could be purchased with more than a few million kilograms of grain.
But it is a pity that there are too many antiques from tens of thousands of years ago in this world... Rare things are more valuable, and if there are more antiques, they will become cheaper. Therefore, ordinary antiques are not very valuable.
Just as Lin Feng was sizing up this jade Ruyi and trying to inject his true energy into it, the auctioneer Anya on the stage had already shouted: "Okay, thank you Mr. No. 197 for taking the photo of the ancient mysterious item. Next
…”
Halfway through the words, Lin Feng in the audience laughed and said: "It's really a big profit. This jade Ruyi has been preserved in such good condition for tens of thousands of years. It is really rare. You don't have to worry about hurting your skin when you use it."
Although his voice was not loud, it contained real energy and could be heard by everyone in the venue.
For a moment, the auctioneer Anya was stunned. What she just said was only halfway through before she got stuck.
Everyone else in the entire auction venue was also stunned. Like puppets, they subconsciously turned their heads and stared at Lin Feng blankly.
The entire auction venue was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a while, there was an uproar from the entire scene: "Does he recognize that mysterious object?! That thing is called 'Ruyi'?!"
"No way? Maybe it's nonsense...even the most famous archaeological masters in the empire can't recognize it!!"
"Impossible, how could he recognize it?!!"
Those people all looked at Lin Feng with suspicion.
At this time, the auctioneer Anya on the stage couldn't help but ask: "Dear Mr. No. 197, may I ask... do you recognize that jade product?"
"Yes, this thing is called Ruyi. Because it is made of jade, it is called Jade Ruyi."
Lin Feng said, shaking the jade Ruyi in his hand.
Anya was stunned and asked a question that everyone else present was concerned about: "Excuse me... may I be honored to know what this thing called Yu Ruyi does?"
Lin Feng nodded: "Of course. In fact, it's not of much use. This jade Ruyi is usually used to scratch itches, which is similar to the folk saying of 'don't ask for help'."
"Don't ask for help?!" Anya obviously didn't know the meaning of this name.
"Haha." Lin Feng smiled and said: "It's just a small thing used to scratch the back. It's what people often call itchy scratching. Because using that little thing, you can just scratch your back if it's itchy. You don't have to ask others.
If you come and scratch me, it's called 'not asking for help'." As he spoke, he gestured and stroked his back with the jade Ruyi.
The people around me were all moved when they heard this, but they did not make a sound.
Although it is a bit vulgar for Lin Feng to say something like scratching an itch in this place, aren't many so-called elegant things just a little bit of vulgarity wrapped up?
Moreover, who among the people here has never had an itchy back? Even the "itch scratching" that Lin Feng mentioned has been used by everyone here. After all, there are similar inventions in this world. However, there is no "itch scratch"
"Don't ask for help" sounds so good.
Moreover, the "not asking for help" is not as delicate and elegant as the jade Ruyi in Lin Feng's hand.
Just imagine, if you hold a jade as exquisite as Lin Feng's hand...or something of the same style, but more gorgeous. Others regard it as a treasure, only carefully put it in the collection room as a precious offering, and are reluctant to take it out casually.
To show it. However, in my own hands, this thing is just for scratching... Just thinking about it, I feel a compelling aura of wealth coming over me.
Therefore, everyone present did not make a sound, but listened quietly. However, most people could not help but feel a little disapproval, thinking: Although the name sounds nice, in the final analysis, it is still just a good-looking name.
It's just an itch scratch. No matter how nice it sounds, it won't make it onto the stage when it comes to scratching equipment.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lin Feng say again: "In ancient times, there were not only jade Ruyi, but also Jin Ruyi made of gold. But later, all Ruyi were made of jade, and only the upper class could do it.
Use...Miss Anya, do you know why?"
Anya shook her head: "I would also like to ask the respected Mr. No. 197 for advice."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "Because if you use gold to make Ruyi, it will look too tacky, and if you use gems containing energy to make it, it will look too luxurious. Therefore, in ancient times, people would
I like to use jade to make Ruyi.
"Jade is gentle and hard, and will not hurt the skin. Moreover, the stone quality of jade is 'white' and 'hard'. Therefore, those who carry jade products with them should use the jade on their bodies to symbolize their own moral character."
It is as white, gentle and flawless as jade, and its character is as upright and resolute as jade. It means that you are a man of great virtue, a noble gentleman, a noble among nobles, and the most noble."
The people around him heard this with their brows twitching wildly, and they felt doubtful that what Lin Feng said did not sound like nonsense.
It's just... what's a bit surprising is that these words actually come from the mouth of a "nouveau riche"?!
Moreover, does Ruyi Jade have other meanings and special uses?
Therefore, a guest participating in the auction in the hall tentatively said: "Sir, you have said so much, but in fact it is just a gadget for scratching itch. After all, it is not something that can be put on the table."
Lin Feng smiled slightly: "It's more than just scratching an itch. Do you know why this thing is called 'Ruyi' instead of 'Don't ask for help' or 'Tickle scratch'?"
As he spoke, he looked around, and then said calmly: "That's because in ancient times, some nobles liked to take an elixir called 'Five Stone Powder'. After taking it, the blood and qi in the whole body would be activated, and the power would be greatly increased."
, giving people a light and airy feeling, as if they can fly to the sky and become a god at any time, and it can also cause the body to feel itchy.
"So, in addition to wearing loose clothes to dissipate heat, they are also accustomed to wearing a jade Ruyi. Whenever they feel uncomfortable, Ruyi will feel comfortable. Ruyi is everywhere, everywhere. This Ruyi name
Head, that's how it came about.
"Therefore, in ancient times, this was something that only nobles could play with. Moreover, people with insufficient moral character or defective conduct would be criticized for using Ruyi made of flawless jade.
"Just because this jade is rare, people without a certain status cannot use it casually. Therefore, in ancient documents, literati also added a lot of special meaning to this jade in various handed down books.
.
"For example, many books believe that the word 'Ruyi' in this jade Ruyi contains the meaning of 'auspicious Ruyi'. It is an auspicious instrument and can bring good luck to people. Therefore, this Jade Ruyi is often displayed on
It is also decorated with various patterns that represent auspiciousness... Just like this Ganoderma lucidum on Ruyi, which means longevity... Well, if it is an old Ganoderma lucidum, it can help people live longer. I believe everyone here also agrees with this.
clear."
At this point, the people around him exclaimed and murmured in their hearts: "No wonder it looks so familiar, it turns out this is Ganoderma lucidum..."
Just listen to Lin Feng say again: "In addition, look again: this Ruyi's head is slightly curved... There is also a meaning in it, which contains the philosophical thought of 'turning back will bring you Ruyi'. It means, 'No one is a sage.
Who can have no faults? Just turn back when you make a mistake, which is a great good deed. It is also said that "a prodigal son will not be able to exchange for gold".
"Therefore, some noble families will also use this jade ruyi to beat their children who have done something wrong. It means that the children who have done something wrong accidentally will know how to look back and not make the same mistake again..."
Having said this, Lin Feng paused and glanced around the entire hall.
Everyone in the hall turned their heads and listened to him quietly, obviously most of them believed what he said.
Immediately, he smiled slightly and said: "In addition, this jade Ruyi also has some interesting uses. Can you guess what it is?!!"
