Jiuyang Bronze Zun, as the name suggests, is a copper tripod with an extremely unique shape.

Jiuyang bronze is nine inches and nine minutes high, made of fine copper, and the common three-legged tripod is different, this bronze has a total of four legs, it looks quite strange at the same time, but also looks extremely vast and heavy.

As the old saying goes, one life is two, two is three, and three is everything.

It is precisely like this, so the usual Dingdu only has three legs, and the meaning is self-evident.

And why this Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable has four legs, there are different explanations, and the four legs are also extraordinary, but replaced by four bronze sheep with different postures.

The ears are sheep, and there are also three face-to-face sheep on the lid that wrap their heads together to form the handle of the tripod.

The ordinary copper tripod does not have a tripod cover, and this Jiuyang bronze statue not only has four legs, but also a tripod cover, which has completely subverted the cognition of all archaeologists.

I don't know why, Tang Yi saw the three copper sheep entangled on the lid from a distance, and the idiom Sanyang Kaitai subconsciously appeared in his mind.

It was precisely because of the reflexive thought of this idiom that Tang Yi subconsciously thought of the sun!

The story of Chang'e running to the moon and Hou Yi shooting the sun is in primary school textbooks, and Tang Yi already has a vague memory of Hou Yi shooting the sun in his mind before he went to kindergarten.

According to legend, there were once nine suns in the sky, and eight of them were shot down by Hou Yi with the sunset bow.

"In ancient times, there were a lot of fake words and symbolic meanings, could it be the Jiuyang Bronze Zun, in fact, it is a metaphor for the Jiuyang Bronze Zun? Why does this bronze statue have a lid? Why does it have four legs? What is the meaning of it being cast in the first place?"

Tang Yi stared at the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable on the auction table without blinking, his mind filled with a lot of questions.

Since he obtained a special wishing card with double his eyesight some time ago, his eyesight is not even comparable to that of a pilot, and despite such a distance, he can still clearly see every detail on the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable.

As far as he could observe, there was no inscription on the exterior of the bronze statue.

As for whether there is an inscription in it, it is unknown for the time being.

The copper tripod evolved from the pottery three-legged tripod, which was originally used to cook food, and later mainly used for sacrifices and feasts, and was one of the most important ritual vessels in the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Ding, in ancient times, was originally a cooking vessel, and later became an important symbol of the political power of the ruling class, regarded as the treasure of the town and the treasure of the country, and also a symbol of the hierarchy of "Ming noble and low, not up and down".

If the role of the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable is a sacrifice or a town, then it stands to reason that there should be an inscription on it.

Since there is no inscription on it, could it be that its real purpose is to cook?

But what can you cook with such a small ding?

What did you need to cook in ancient times and need to cover the lid?

The more he observed the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable on the auction table, the more doubts Tang Yi had in his heart.

If it weren't for the auctioneer's opening to pull his train of thought back to reality, maybe his entire mind would have sunk into that bronze statue.

"Whew! No wonder the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable attracted the attention of all forces as soon as he appeared!"

"In any case, this bronze statue must only belong to the country and the nation, and it must not be allowed to leave the border, not even for a second!"

When Tang Yi used his appreciation skills to identify the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable on the stage as genuine, he subconsciously clenched his fists!

"Ladies and gentlemen, compared with this Nine Sheep Bronze Statue, the previous eleven lots combined, its preciousness is far inferior! If I guessed correctly, most of your VIPs should have come for this bronze statue, presumably before coming, you should have also asked experts to consult and understand, and also checked the relevant information, so I will not talk nonsense here!"

The auctioneer straightened his face, and finally pulled his obsessive gaze back from the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable.

In fact, he didn't need to say anything, because the moment the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable appeared, it deeply attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Before the auction officially begins, I will only say two points! First, this Jiuyang bronze statue is a bronze statue from the early Western Zhou Dynasty or even more ancient, that is to say, it has existed for at least 3,000 years, which is the conclusion reached by all archaeologists. Second, its origins are still a mystery, some say it is a product of ancient mythology, others say it is the work of aliens, and others say that it is a symbol of a dynasty that actually existed but all traces were drowned in the long river of history...... All the secrets of the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable are waiting for us to discover and verify!"

The auctioneer bowed three times to the Jiuyang Bronze Venerable with a solemn face, then turned to look at the 52 private rooms opened opposite and said: "The treasure has a spirit, no matter which VIP it falls into in the end, I implore you to repay it with due respect and respect." ”

"The last finale of this auction Jiuyang Bronze Zun officially started the auction, the starting price is zero, and each price increase shall not be less than ten 500-gram pure gold bars, please bid!"

After the auctioneer said these words, he respectfully stepped aside, as if in his heart, even standing in front of the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable was a great disrespectful act.

The auctioneer was silent, and all 52 private rooms were silent, and no one was the first to bid.

The silence lasted for more than a minute, and the auctioneer crossed his hands in front of his chest, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, and heart, as if he was asleep, and he did not seem to be in a hurry at all.

Will the Jiuyang Bronze Zun be unsold?

Are you kidding!

If nothing else, those four legs alone are enough to be unparalleled in the world.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the current situation was nothing more than the calm before the storm.

"Since no one is the first to bid, then I'll throw bricks and jade, 100 gold bars. ”

There was silence for almost two minutes, and only then did Cheng Ling's faint bidding sound come from the private room next to Tang Yi.

Although his voice was very light and light, Tang Yi could still hear the bitterly suppressed excitement and tremor in Chengling's voice.

100 gold bars, converted to only 18 million, not even a single wool is enough.

"300 gold bars!"

As soon as Chengling finished speaking, an old voice speaking Berlin-accented German followed.

The auctioneer standing on the side of the auction table did not deliberately set the atmosphere, but simply translated the bid of the old voice in Chinese and English.

That's all.

"500 gold bars. ”

"600 gold bars. ”

"800 gold bars. ”

"820 gold bars!"

In less than a minute, the price skyrocketed from 100 bars to 800.

It was also after shouting 800 gold bars that the price increase was slightly curbed, from an integer of 100 or even 200 to 20.

From beginning to end, Tang Yi has been secretly observing and analyzing, and he has not made a single price.

After analyzing and judging, he found that after bidding more than 800 gold bars, the only ones that continued to bid were the old voice with a rich Berlin accent, a young woman with a London accent who had never spoken since the beginning of the auction, and Hidekiro Tanabe in the No. 34 private room.

If Tang Yi is not counted, the three of them will be the most important force in the battle of the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable tonight.

The bidding slowly rose from 820 to the 1,000 mark, which has completely exceeded the limit that Tang Yi can bear.

In the process, he resisted the urge to bid.

The entire venue will not exceed 5,200 gold bars at most, except for a few participants who don't know that they need to prepare gold bars, Tang Yi guessed that the total gold bar data in the audience should be between 4,800 and 5,000, or even less.

If the other three parties did not shout the price, the total number of gold bars in their hands would definitely not exceed 3,900, which is equivalent to the maximum value of about 1,300 per person on average.

Because the other 900 gold bars are in Tang Yi's own hands.

Tang Yi didn't believe that the three of them had such a great ability to take away all the gold bars except for the 900 in his hand, so according to his estimate, it should be difficult for the gold bars in the hands of Tanabe Hidejuro to exceed 3,500 together.

As for who has more and who has less, it is unknown.

"System, I want to know the number of gold bars in each of the three people who bid for the house. ”

Although Tang Yi didn't know, he had a system for cheating.

[This wish is not a special wish and can be realized.] (Please ask the host to provide the exact object of the wish, otherwise the wish cannot be completed.) ）】

Do I need to provide the exact object of the wish to be made?

Tang Yi was stunned, it was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

If you think about it, it seems that every time you make a wish in the past, there are indeed clear prerequisites.

But except for Tanabe Hidekiro, he doesn't know the names of the other two people and the number of the private room where they are located, so how should this wish be granted?

In desperation, he could only retreat first and make a wish: "System, I want to know the number of gold bars in the hands of Hideki Tanabe in the No. 34 private room." ”

[This wish is not a special wish and can be realized.] 】

[Congratulations to the host for making his wish come true, the number of gold bars actually in the hands of Hidekiro Tanabe in private room No. 34 is 1,150.] This wish consumes 11.5 million Wishing Money, which is automatically deducted. 】

"1150 gold bars? I didn't expect this little man to hide so deeply, no wonder he was so confident when he asked for the price!"

Tang Yi's brows furrowed subconsciously, he really guessed correctly.

Just as he had just figured out the number of gold bars in Tanabe's hand through the wish, the old German-speaking voice had already raised the price to 1,050.

"Old Nick, if I'm not mistaken, 1100 gold bars is already your limit, hahahaha! I have 1100 gold bars, I don't believe you can come up with more gold bars!"

Kikujiro Tanabe was still as arrogant and arrogant as ever, and the eyes of the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable in the stands were full of greed.

A treasure that is unique in the world, he said that he would bring it back to the country in vain!

Seeing that victory was in sight, it was hard for him to hide the excitement and frenzy in his heart.

"Tanabe, don't get complacent too early! Ladies and gentlemen, whoever is willing to sell the gold bars in my hand, I am willing to buy them at a price of $1,000,000 each, and pay as soon as the auction is over, and I will never be in arrears. ”

The man who was called Old Nick did not continue to bid, but openly bought gold bars into the microphone at a high price from the audience.

A gold bar costs $1 million, 100 is equivalent to $100 million, and when converted into soft sister coins, it is equivalent to about 700 million.

This account is not unknown, but it really scared Tang Yi himself, if he threw out all the 900 gold bars in his hand, wouldn't he be able to make a net profit of more than 6 billion if he changed hands? !

As soon as this thought came to him, he threw it out, and compared with the peerless Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable, money no longer had any meaning.

"I protest! Old Nick's behavior is a serious disruption to the order of the auction venue, and it is absolutely not in line with tonight's auction rules, I suggest that he be disqualified from bidding immediately!"

Hearing that Old Nick bought gold bars at a high price in public, Tanabe Hidekiro's face immediately changed, and he immediately expressed a strong protest to the auction house with his throat raised.

Seeing that the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable was about to start, if something happened at this time, it would really be 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Tanabe, but tonight's auction rules do not stipulate that gold bars cannot be collected on the spot, so your protest is null and void. ”

The auctioneer standing on the stage smiled apologetically at Hidekikuro Tanabe, shook his head slightly, and refused his protest.

"Baga!"

Tanabe Hideju angrily burst out a national scold on the spot!

After scolding, he immediately shouted loudly: "I will buy gold bars at a price of 1.5 million each, and I will ask for as many as I want!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the young female voice who spoke London English once again raised the purchase price of each gold bar by 500,000.

In the blink of an eye, the value of the gold bars doubled, which means that if Tang Yi sells the 900 gold bars in his hand, he will be able to make a net profit of 12 billion soft girl coins in an instant!

Rao couldn't help but feel a little heartbeat and shortness of breath with his current heart.

Tonight's auction is really full of twists and turns, and it really makes him gain knowledge.

"Miss Monica, if you are willing to transfer the gold bars in your hand to me, the Tanabe family will owe you a great favor, and there will be a great reward after tonight!"

I have to say that this Tanabe Hidejuro is really a talent, just by Tang Yi's own ears, he has already communicated with others in Chinese, English and German, and his brain is also turning quickly.

When Old Nick and Monica, who had just spoken, were still bidding for gold bars, this guy had already caught the attention of his competitors.

"Well, if Mr. Tanabe is willing to transfer the gold bar in his hand to me, I will be rewarded. ”

Monica chuckled and returned his words as they were.

I also bid $2 million for each gold bar, and if any friend is willing to transfer the gold bar to me, he will be the best friend of my Tanabe family. ”

Tanabe Hidekiro snorted coldly, he also thought about really convincing Monica with one sentence, the reason why he said this was just to test her attitude with words.

Hideki Tanabe also bid $2 million per gold bar, and the same goes for Old Nick.

are all characters who are better than monkeys, so it is naturally impossible to fight endless price wars at this time.

At this point, all three of them have a very tacit understanding.

When Tanabe Hidekiro, Monica, and Old Nick were all competing for the remaining scattered gold bars, Tang Yi was still silent and did not say a word, but kept thinking about the next countermeasures.

Seeing that he neither bid nor grab the gold bars, Zhou Cheng and Chengling were anxious enough, if it weren't for the strict rules of the auction hall, they were not allowed to go out of the private room before the end of the auction, otherwise they would be disqualified from bidding, I am afraid they would have rushed to the private room where Tang Yi was to see if he was asleep.

In fact, it was not that Tang Yi was sitting still, let alone giving up the Nine Sheep Bronze Venerable.

Rather, among the four forces, he had the least number of gold bars in his hand, and in this case, he was pressed by the other three parties and couldn't even lift his head.

He was waiting, waiting for the other three sandpipers to fight.

I'm waiting for an opportunity once and for all!
