Seeing Lin Yang staring intently at the stone sculpture on the auction table, Ma Xiaofeng couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What, could this stone sculpture be used to make talismans?"

In his understanding, amulets should be made of materials such as gold and jade, even if they were not made of yellow paper with rune patterns written on them. I've never heard of it, and you can use stone carvings as amulets.

Moreover, the size of this stone sculpture is as big as a watermelon, and the weight is probably in the role of thirty or forty catties. Even if it is made into a talisman, it is not convenient to carry, is it? Is it necessary to cut it into small pieces first, and then make the amulet?

Ma Xiaofeng, who was full of doubt, began to carefully look at the stone sculpture placed on the auction table.

Although the surface is covered with moss, there are also some things like coral. But its overall shape and appearance have not been destroyed. On the contrary, because of the long-term immersion in the depths of the seabed, it has been protected to a certain extent.

Judging by the shape of the carving, this should be a stone lion statue. It's just that it's different from ordinary stone lions. This stone lion actually has nine heads. And the movements and expressions of each head are different. Or grinning, or eyebrows angry...... It's lifelike, like a living thing.

"What kind of lion is this, how can it have nine heads?" asked Ma Xiaofeng curiously.

If Xiao Jun was still alive and had also come here to participate in the auction and saw this stone lion statue with nine heads, then she would definitely find that this nine-headed stone lion statue was exactly the same as the nine-headed lion riding on Lin Yang when she had hallucinations

Maybe it was because he finally waited for what he wanted, Lin Yang was in a very good mood at this time, turned around, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, it seems that you need to watch "Journey to the West" again." ”

Ma Xiaofeng was stunned: "Why is it related to "Journey to the West" again?"

Lin Yang explained: "Because in "Journey to the West", there are nine lions that appear, and they are quite powerful, so that Sun Wukong heard the sound and fled. So much so that in the eyes of many people, it is even the most powerful monster in the book "Journey to the West", which is the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, and it is also the mount of Taiyi to save the suffering Tianzun."

Ma Xiaofeng Yu laughed twice, scratched his head, and said with some embarrassment: "Ah...... It turns out that this is the stone statue of the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, I said that it looks a little familiar. ”

Just when the two whispered to each other, the auctioneer on the auction table also began to use the projector to show the photos, while introducing the situation of the stone statue of the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng: "I believe everyone has seen "Journey to the West", right? This stone lion statue with nine heads is the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint in "Journey to the West", and it is also the mount of Taiyi Tianzun. Judging from the craftsmanship of carving, this statue of Jiuling Yuan is definitely the product of the stone carving art of the Southern Song Dynasty. The lines are detailed, the expressions are real, and they are lifelike, and according to the staff who salvaged the wreck, this stone statue of the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint was salvaged from the room of a big merchant on the ship. At that time, in that room, a lot of fine porcelain, jade, gold and silver were fished out. But in the case of stone carving, it's just like that. It is not difficult to see that this stone sculpture has a high status and weight in the mind of the great businessman. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought this stone sculpture with him when he went to sea to the Philippines to trade......"

Hearing this, Lin Yang suddenly shook his head and muttered in a low voice: "Wrong." ”

His voice was very small, and except for Ma Xiaofeng, who was sitting next to him, the rest of the people did not hear it.

"Wrong, what's wrong?" asked Ma Xiaofeng, puzzled.

"This auctioneer is incorrect. Lin Yang said: "This Nine Spirits Yuan Holy Statue is not artificially carved at all. It's natural."

Ma Xiaofeng was taken aback and almost screamed. Fortunately, his self-control ability is relatively strong, and he forcibly swallowed back the exclamation that had reached his mouth. Then he lowered his voice and asked in disbelief: "You said that the appearance of this stone statue is natural? If it's really innate, how can it be so delicate?"

Lin Yang explained with a smile: "Third uncle, there is an old saying that 'Daqian shijie is not strange,'. Believe me, this Nine Spirits Yuan Icon is definitely naturally generated and not artificially carved. The aura in its body, pure and abundant, presents an innate image, and this kind of situation will only appear if the stone has not been carved by people."

"It's incredible...... Ma Xiaofeng shook his head and sighed.

At the same time, the auctioneer also finished introducing the situation of the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue, holding a small mallet to announce the start of the bidding: "This Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue, the reserve price is 100,000, and the bidding range shall not be less than 5,000 Each time there are friends who are eye-catching and like, seize the opportunity to bid quickly." Such a lifelike, exquisitely carved stone statue is quite rare, if not unprecedented. If you miss it, it's really useless to regret it......"

Not to mention, this auctioneer still has some ability. Under his flickering, many people at the scene became interested in this Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue and began to bid for it.

However, although there are many people who are interested, the price of this Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue has not risen too high. After all, the value of stone carvings is much lower than that of porcelain, jade, gold and silverware, and even bronze is not as good as it. Unless it is historical, the price will not be too high.

Although this Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue is lifelike, it is not something that has left a name in history after all. Therefore, the bidding enthusiasm of the big guys is not so high.

Seeing that the price of this Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue slowly climbed to 160,000, Lin Yang finally raised the bidding card in his hand and shouted out the price he gave for the first time in this auction: "200,000"

Seeing that the price had risen by 40,000 all of a sudden, and no longer increased by 5,500,000 as before, the auctioneer's interest was also raised, and his voice suddenly rose a few decibels: "200,000, this gentleman bid 200,000, does anyone offer a higher price?"

Lin Yang suddenly pulled the price to 200,000, which made many people choose to give up. After all, for most people, spending 200,000 yuan to buy a stone sculpture the size of a watermelon seems to be a little worthless.

But there are still people who are very interested in this Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue, and even do not hesitate to raise the price by another 50,000 yuan, trying to scare Lin Yang away: "I will give 250,000"

"This gentleman bid 250,000 yuan, is there a higher price?" the auctioneer perked up, and said in his heart that this time the bid finally had a bit of gunpowder. As long as there is the smell of gunpowder, it can stir up the atmosphere and make this Nine Spirit Yuan Holy Stone Statue fetch a good price.

However, before the auctioneer could show his skills, Lin Yang directly doubled the price: "500,000"

Half a million?

All of a sudden, there was a whisper in the auction hall.

To these people present, half a million is nothing. But spending 500,000 yuan to buy a stone statue is too cost-effective. So, they all wondered, what kind of person would spend 500,000 yuan to buy a stone the size of a watermelon? Is this not a good idea? Or is it really too much money to spend?

"Forget it, it's too high to be worth it. The person who wanted to compete with Lin Yang for this stone statue also chose to give up after a short hesitation.

Although he liked this stone statue very much, he had to spend 500,000 yuan to buy it, but he was a little reluctant.

After all, 500,000 yuan, you can already buy a very haode jade, or a good antique porcelain, no matter how you look at it, it's better than buying a stone sculpture the size of a watermelon, right?

Since no one continued to bid, the auctioneer no longer wasted time, and directly rang the small gavel in his hand, announcing that this Nine Spirit Yuan Saint Stone Statue would be owned by Lin Yang.

Du Junxi, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't help but sneer, and said sarcastically: "I actually bought a stone statue for 500,000 yuan...... Mr. Lin, you really have a unique vision? No wonder the manager treated you so well just now. A high roller like you is indeed the auctioneer's favorite guest."

The antiques he bought for Fang Jingyu before were all gold and jade, while Lin Yang bought a stone for 500,000 yuan. This makes him quite self-grateful. At least he thinks that he is better than Lin Yang in terms of antique jade. So at this moment, he also had the confidence to pretend to be forced in front of Lin Yang.

The previous experience made Lin Yang have no good impression of Du Junxi at all. At this moment, seeing him jump out to pull hatred, Lin Yang didn't even bother to talk nonsense with him, and directly threw it over: "It's hard to buy money and have a good heart." I like this stone carving, as long as I can buy it, it doesn't matter how much money I spend, not to mention that I bought it with 500,000 yuan, it's just too good value Besides, I'm rich, I just like to spend indiscriminately, how about it? If you have the ability and money, you can spend it like me......

"You ......" Du Junxi was choked by his words, his face was white for a while, and he trembled with anger. I want to refute it, but I don't know what to say. zuihou, he could only endure this breath, and almost didn't hold back his internal injuries.

After buying the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint Stone Statue, Lin Yang's goal of coming to the auction today was achieved. However, he did not rush to leave, but continued to stay here.

Because he wanted to see if there were any other good things like this Nine Spirit Yuan Holy Stone Statue in the auction items in the back.

The auction proceeded in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, the mysterious man in the box sat up straight, stared at the auction table with blazing eyes, and whispered excitedly: "It's finally here"
