Chapter 330 The corpse poison reappears
It was He Jinyan and Tang Weilin, who were in the seats not far away, and reserved a seat for him.
In auctions like this, there are no private rooms like in TV and movies, and people who come sit on the chairs below, regardless of their status.
Of course, if the status is very important, the seat will be relatively forward, which can be regarded as some preferential treatment.
When Wang Wei arrived, it was already the last time, and the door behind him was closed as soon as he entered, and the people who came after him couldn't enter.
It was also at this time that the auction began, and the first auction item was an oil painting.
It's not an antique, but an artist who is still alive, and his oil painting attainments are quite good, and he is in his sixties.
Generally speaking, the value of the works of artists like these artists is far less than that of people after their deaths.
And although this artist's oil paintings have some attainments and can be called outstanding, they are not top-notch.
Wang Wei can see that the reason why these people buy oil paintings is because of the vassal elegance on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it is also because the old man is old, in his sixties, in case one day it suddenly disappears, the works he left behind will definitely increase in price, and he can also make a small profit.
The transaction price of this oil painting, 510,000 yuan, is also a pretty good price, at least in Wang Wei's opinion.
The auction items that follow are varied, ranging from antiques to jewelry, luxury goods, and even precious medicines.
For example, the seventh auction turned out to be a 50-year-old pure wild ginseng, which was raised to a price of more than 1 million.
As the auction progressed, Wang Wei never found what he needed, so he could only be a spectator.
"The next thing to be auctioned is the shrimp ...... painted by Mr. Qi Baishi," when the auctioneer who presided over the auction announced, everyone was in the same spirit.
Qi Baishi's shrimp painting is a must in the painting world, it can be said that from ancient times to the present, from the painting of shrimp alone, no one can paint more vividly than him.
However, it is a pity that there are not many shrimp pictures left behind, and the reason is very simple, he is a late bloomer.
Although he began painting shrimp in his youth, he was not until he was over 60 years old.
With his age and physical condition, he didn't have much energy at all, and left too many paintings.
"Shhhh
It turned out that the three carefully framed paintings, Qi Baishi's shrimp, did not have any knowledge.
There is no style, the shrimp on these three paintings, even the skill level is not the same, the first painting can only show that there are some likenesses copied, the second painting can be said to be very similar, giving a little vitality, the third painting is much better, there is a strong smart atmosphere.
However, these three paintings, no matter which one they were, could not reach the level of the peak of Old Man Qi Baishi.
Therefore, after the three paintings were taken out, there was a sudden boo below, because there were many people here, all of whom were experts in painting and calligraphy appraisal.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, let me introduce, don't look at these three paintings without payment, but they are all painted by the old man Qi Baishi himself, the first painting was painted by the old man at the age of twenty, the second painting was painted by the old man at the age of forty, and the third painting was painted by the old man at the age of sixty. The auctioneer began to introduce.
"There is no payment on these paintings at all, how can you be sure that it was painted by Old Man Qi Baishi?"
Most of the people sitting in the audience can be called elites, but they are not fools who can be fooled casually.
"Of course I know, because these paintings are treasured by a friend of the old man Qi Baishi, but unfortunately, this good friend of the old man Qi is a few years older than him, so when the old man was in his early sixties, this friend of his passed away, and at that time, the old man Qi's shrimp painting had not reached the peak level, otherwise it would not be these three paintings. The auctioneer introduced.
And such a thing?
Everyone immediately began to discuss, this explanation is also reasonable, if it is a good friend of Old Man Qi Baishi, he can get it.
The question is to buy or not?
If you compare it with ordinary painters, even the first painting with the worst skills can be called a masterpiece.
But if they are named in the name of Old Man Qi Baishi, then even if these three paintings are real, they are really painted by Old Man Qi, and they are not worth a lot of money, after all, the value difference between the works of a painter practicing and the works of a painter at his peak is too different.
Lakh!
When the auction was announced, it was almost cold, but Wang Wei shouted the price.
Hey?
Is there really a fool who would buy it?
Everyone immediately turned their heads and looked at Wang Wei like a fool.
In the eyes of everyone, even if these three paintings are real, they are worthless works of practice, and there is no collection value at all.
"100,000 for the first time, is there anyone who offers a higher price?" The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief, he was also afraid that the three paintings would be lost.
I kept asking three times, and someone whispered below, but no one made another bid, so Wang Wei got it.
Wang Wei didn't feel a loss at all, he didn't look at these three paintings, but the treasures on the three paintings.
A large part of the reason why he plays antiques is to absorb the treasure of antiques, strengthen the small current in his body, and promote his evolution.
He is now very sure that the clairvoyant eye and super cultivation qualifications all come from small currents, so small currents are the foundation of his strength.
The items that were auctioned next immediately attracted everyone's attention.
It is a set of antiques, with a jade pot and three jade cups, which, judging from the color and texture, were actually taken out of a piece of jade.
"This is a set of wine utensils from the Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that the cup is missing, only a jade pot and three wine glasses are left...... "The auctioneer is quite regretful, if it is complete, this set of wine utensils is a rare and rare treasure, even if it is not a national treasure.
However, now only these four pieces are left, although they are in good condition, the quality of the jade and the carving are not said, but they cannot be sold for a high price.
Well?
When he saw this set of drinking utensils, Wang Wei's brows suddenly furrowed.
He can see more than others, and this set of four items is rich in treasure, which means that this is a genuine set of antiques.
However, in that rich treasure, there is a trace of black qi, which looks particularly conspicuous.
This kind of black gas is too familiar to him, and it is clearly corpse poison, which means that this set of wine utensils is not at all like what the auctioneer said, it is not family heirloom at all, but it was dug out of the ground recently, or from a grave that does not see the sun, otherwise it would not be contaminated with corpse poison.
This kind of corpse poison, even if it has not been professionally handled, once it is brought out of the tomb, it will slowly dissipate after a few years.
Therefore, Wang Wei concluded that this set of jade wine utensils was unearthed in a year at most, or even shorter than this time.
The richness of the corpse poison on it is even richer than the corpse poison on He Jinyan's jade pendant, and whoever buys it and goes home will have a good show.
"One million!" soon the bidding began.
Different from Qi Baishi's painting just now, as soon as this set of wine utensils appeared, it attracted the attention of many people, and the quotations came and went.
"Three million!" He Jinyan was also interested, and shouted from the side.
"If you don't want to get sick, you'd better not touch this drinkware. Wang Wei reminded in a whisper.
"What, you said that this set of wine utensils is the same as my jade pendant?" He Jinyan suddenly showed a frightened look and looked at the stage.
The piece of jade pendant he held in his hand made him inexplicably sick, and after going to major hospitals for examination, he could only take some methods to treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and take all kinds of painkillers, but this medicine was taken at the time, and it was good at that time, and as soon as the effect of the medicine passed, he was uncomfortable again.
This taste tormented him for months, and he didn't want to experience it again, let alone be tortured to death for no reason.
So when he heard Wang Wei's reminder, he was immediately frightened.
Tang Weilin was also eager to try, but when he heard Wang Wei's words, he immediately wilted, he didn't want to experience He Jinyan's feelings.
"It's more serious than your jade pendant, but there is one thing I'm very strange, if it's a professional tomb robber, it should be dealt with before it is sold, otherwise once you kill someone, aren't you afraid that people will settle accounts with them?" Wang Wei looked at the wine utensils on the stage and said puzzled.
There is a way to steal!
Grave robbers bring them from graves, and if they detect corpse poison, they will at least be treated simply so that they will not infect people.
Wang Wei guessed that this group of tomb robbers was likely to be Leng Touqing, and they had not inherited any tomb robbing knowledge at all.
Therefore, when they robbed the tombs, they did not have any rules at all, and the things they dug up were taken and sold, so that some people were poisoned.
"Then I don't want it, whoever wants it will want it!" He Jinyan hurriedly shook his head.
"Actually, if you know some archaeologists, you might as well ask them to help deal with it, they should know how to eliminate corpse poison. ”
Wang Wei suggested that those who are engaged in the archaeological industry will inevitably come into contact with ancient tombs and even the remains of ancient characters, and if they come into contact with more, they will inevitably encounter corpse poison, so those who bring them into the industry will at least teach them how to avoid being infected and how to clean up corpse poison.
"Forget it, if you like it, you can buy it, I don't want it!" He Jinyan was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years.
Even his jade pendant, he gave it directly to Wang Wei, even if Wang Wei told him that he could handle it, he wouldn't want to kill it.
"Okay, seven million!" Wang Wei shook his head, and he followed suit.
This set of jade wine utensils is a good thing, at least the treasure on it is much richer than the three paintings he just bought.
"Seven million 100,000!" As soon as Wang Wei's words fell, someone immediately followed the price.
Hearing this price, Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look over, and saw who was finding fault, could it be his enemy?
Because when it was announced just now, the auctioneer had clearly announced that the minimum price increase was 100,000.
And the person just now only added 100,000.
If it is in the final stage, it is understandable, but now the competition is fierce at this stage, and each price increase is tens of millions of pluses.
Suddenly there was a hundred thousand, if it was not deliberately looking for fault, even if Wang Wei believed it, the people who heard it next to him would not believe it.
