Chapter 476: A Legendary Treasure
Lin Yu was a little shocked in his heart, but he didn't rush to ask, he planned to observe and observe first, and at the same time, he was very interested in the collection that was going to be auctioned off tonight.
If this collection is more valuable than this golden cicada jade leaf of the Ming Dynasty, then he really didn't go wrong tonight!
"As we all know, the golden cicada jade leaf found in Wufeng Mountain in our country was defined as a national treasure, and this golden cicada jade leaf was a treasure that was lost abroad that year, whether it was in terms of quality or material, it was not inferior to that national treasure, so if you have friends who like it, don't miss the opportunity!" The fat housekeeper said with a smile, "According to the seller's pricing, this collection starts at 50 million yuan, and the price increase ladder is 5 million, and the auction starts now!"
As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand and immediately snapped the hammer.
"Sixty million!"
"Eighty million!"
"120 million!"
......
The people below immediately called out the price, excited, obviously wanting to pocket this golden cicada jade leaf.
Lin Yu glanced at He Qingwu on the side, and saw him with a smile on his face, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to have the slightest interest in auctioning.
At first, Lin Yu wanted to remind him, but after the price of this collection increased to a certain extent, Lin Yu felt that there was no point in bidding, so he didn't speak.
In the end, this golden cicada jade leaf was sold at a price of 320 million, and the fat housekeeper then shouted out another collection, which is a sacrificial blue sky ball bottle, which is also a national treasure-level cultural relic, which is rumored to have been circulated from the Old Summer Palace and was lost, but I didn't expect it to appear at this auction at this time.
Lin Yu couldn't help but be shocked, what kind of character was the owner of this manor, just from the sellers he knew, he could guess that this owner was definitely not a mortal!
Even the owner of the manor may have a great network of contacts not only at home, but also abroad.
Lin Yu even began to wonder if he was a Chinese person, although his manor decoration style was a traditional Chinese style, but this did not mean that he was a Chinese person.
This time, He Qingwu still had no intention of making a move, his face was still indifferent, and he quietly listened to other people's offers.
However, the old man of the Chu family on the side was overjoyed when he saw this porcelain vase, and before he could speak, Chu Yunxi, who was interested on the side, immediately called out the price, wanting to buy this bottle and give it to his grandfather as a gift.
Other people who were interested in this bottle also followed the bidding, but seeing that Chu Yunxi had been following the price, knowing that Chu Yunxi was bound to get this collection, they did not follow the price again, after all, offending the Chu family did not do them any good, and this was also a favor that they sold to the Chu family.
In the end, this sacrificial blue sky ball bottle was photographed at a price of only 80 million, Chu Yunxi was also sensible, stood up and smiled at everyone, and said, "Thank you seniors for your humility!"
He Ziqin and He Ziheng glanced at Chu Yunxi, their eyes full of disgust.
Although they looked at Chu Yunxi very unpleasantly, they were helpless, there was no way, their children were so uncompromising, and they were not at the same level as others at all!
The next few collections were all priceless, but He Qingwu didn't bid for any of them, obviously none of these collections could make him happy.
Lin Yu also saw at this time that He Qingwu was clearly running for the finale of the collection this time!
After all these collections were auctioned, the fat butler said with a smile: "The next collection is the one that everyone is looking forward to, and it is also the most precious collection in our auction!
As soon as the words fell, he immediately glanced at the man in black standing under the stage next to him, the man in black nodded, called two helpers and walked quickly to the backstage.
After hearing this, everyone immediately became excited, and they all whispered about it, with great anticipation on their faces.
Lin Yu was also immediately interested, squinting at the fat butler, not knowing if the thing he said was really very promising, or if he was playing tricks.
After all, it's not uncommon to deliberately exaggerate at auctions in order to increase the value of artifacts!
Not long after the men in black left, they walked back with an object covered with a red cloth, and placed it respectfully on the stage after they came on stage.
"Everyone, look at it!"
The fat butler grinned, then stretched out his fleshy hand and grabbed the red cloth, and then lifted it, and saw a blue-gray three-eared tripod about twenty or thirty centimeters high on the tray below.
Lin Yu was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect that the so-called supreme treasure would be such a three-eared tripod with an unsightly appearance.
He couldn't see a trace of turquoise light from this tripod, and judging by its material, it didn't seem to be made of bronze, so it hardly had much collection value.
But what was completely different from his reaction was that the people below instantly became excited, and they all straightened their necks and looked at the stage.
And He Qingwu, who was originally indifferent, also suddenly came to his senses, his eyes were shining, and he looked at the three ears on the stage without blinking, obviously with great interest.
He Ziqin and He Ziheng were also full of excitement, glanced at each other, and then nodded heavily.
"God King Ding, is this the legendary God King Ding?!"
"Looks like it should be!"
"It must be, it can't be wrong!"
"It is said that Genghis Khan used it to expand his territory and was invincible, and Li Zicheng relied on it to grab the throne, is this true or false?!"
"I've heard, really, Li Zicheng lost this god king ding not long after he became the emperor, so his emperor dream also woke up, and then this god king ding fell into the hands of Huang Taiji, so there was the later Qing Dynasty!"
"It's really fake, it's all a legend!"
The people below are talking about each other.
Lin Yu's face changed slightly when he heard what they said, and then he suddenly turned his head to look at the three-eared tripod on the desk.
God King Ding?!
This turned out to be the legendary God King Ding?!
In the memory of his ancestors, there is also an understanding of this god king ding, but it is also from the history books, legend has it that this god king ding can have the ability to reach the heavens and the earth, can change people's fortunes, and can maintain the prosperity of the family!
In history, all the people who have obtained this god king tripod are either rich or noble, and they are prosperous, the most famous of which are Genghis Khan, Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji, their own lives are extraordinary, so after getting this god king tripod, they became the most powerful people at that time.
However, this is just an exaggeration of the legend of later generations, and there is no real record, so in Lin Yu's opinion, this God King Ding is at most just a symbol of a beautiful meaning, and it is not as magical as the legend is at all.
And at this time, he finally understood the reason why He Ziqin and He Qingwu both wanted to get this God King Ding, and it was obvious that they also wanted to keep their family prosperous.
Although they also knew that it was nonsense to rely on the God King Ding to change their fortunes, at least for them, this God King Ding was a beautiful meaning and a comfort in their hearts.
Of course, the reason why they want this God King Ding is also out of a competitive mentality, if the families in the whole capital don't want this God King Ding, they will naturally not be interested.
It is precisely because the major families in the capital want to get this God King Ding that they mythologize his ability, and at the same time, it also stimulates the competitive psychology of the He family.
Regardless of whether this thing is useful or not, at least I got it, and it is better than others getting it.
And the old man of the Chu family obviously had this kind of mentality, after seeing this God King Ding, a light that was almost greedy suddenly burst out in his eyes.
Chu Xilian and Chu Yunxi beside him were also excited, and they couldn't wait to rush up and hug this Ding back now.
Lin Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly and shook his head, in his opinion, this Venerable Ding was ordinary and unremarkable, and there was nothing special about it at all.
And the so-called God King Ding is just a legend, and it is not certain whether it really exists.
Besides, there is no green light around this god king ding, most of it is fake.
"Everyone, be quiet, in fact, no one knows whether the legend of this God King Ding is true or false, but this God King Ding does have its extraordinary, even magical!"
The fat butler smiled and said, "Next, I'll show you!"
