Fujita went in for a few more minutes, and when he came out, he was holding two delicate wooden boxes in his hands, indicating that the collection inside might be very unusual. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Well, both of these are bronze Buddhas, but one is more delicate, and the other is more offbeat, depending on which one you like."

Li Yi nodded and opened the wooden box on it first.

This is a bronze gilt Sakyamuni sitting statue with an inscription, the shape is realistic, the clothes are gorgeous, what is more commendable is that the whole Buddha statue is not damaged in a place, even the gilt falls off very little, it looks golden and bright, it is very brilliant atmosphere!

"The bronze gilt sitting Buddha in the Yongle period is still in such good condition, I'm afraid this piece is worth a little money......

At present, the record of the Buddha statue auction market is a bronze statue of the Karma Kagyu founding patriarch, the first Karmapadu Songchenpa, which should be the work of the Yuan Dynasty and is worth more than 400 million soft sister coins. Then there is a Yongle bronze gilt seated Buddha, worth 236 million, which is also a statue of Sakyamuni.

As for the tens of millions of bronze Buddhas, there are many, Yongle models, like such exquisite, if they are bigger, they are likely to easily break 100 million!

This one must be the more delicate one, remembering that Fujita said that the other one is more alternative, Li Yi has a little expectation, is it also like the statue of the first Karmapa Du Songchenpa, it is Tantra?

Opening the box and taking out the Buddha statue, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, this ...... What kind of Buddha statue is this, this is clearly a Taoist statue of the gods, well, this shape, it should be the water gods!

Originally, Taoism did not worship statues of gods, only shrines or murals. Its worship of the gods arose around the time of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. There are about dozens of early Taoist statues from the Wei and Jin dynasties to the Sui Dynasty that have been preserved to this day, mainly stone carvings, and the Taoist statues at this time were greatly influenced by Buddhist statues in terms of technique and style.

In the Song and Yuan dynasties, Taoist statue art has reached a very high level, not only in addition to the Buddha statue, but also out of a set of its own system, and whether it is artistic expression or craftsmanship, have had an important impact on the development of Chinese sculpture art. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the art of Taoist statues was further proficient, but it was biased, and there was more than enough beauty and not enough courage, which also reflected the contrast between the power of Buddhism and Taoism at that time.

Compared with Buddhist statues, the market for Taoist statues is much narrower, and their prices are not the same.

The reason why Li Yi knows this water god general is mainly because he just auctioned a Taoist copper-plated gold water god statue of the Yuan Dynasty at an auction a while ago, and the transaction amount was as high as more than 89 million.

But that's a special case, because the water god will be 2.16 meters tall!

This water god general, not much different from that one's shape, is wearing dark gold heavy armor, holding a golden long stick-like weapon, stepping on auspicious clouds, standing eyebrows, and the image is vicious. If you ignore the Taoist bun on your head, it will indeed be somewhat similar to those protector gods of Buddhism.

"I actually mistook the Taoist gods for a statue of Buddha, and said that it was a bit of an alternative ......" Li Yi shook his head with a smile, if he really thought so, the price of this statue was not easy to discuss.

"Mr. Fujita, have you seen this before?" Li Yi pointed to the Taoist bun on the head of the statue, he remembered that there seemed to be no Taoist priests in Japan, so it was normal not to know him.

"This ...... It looks like a samurai bun, but it doesn't look like it, so I said this statue is a bit off-the-beaten......"

Okay, Li Yi nodded helplessly, first carefully study this Taoist statue, if it is valuable, it is good to help him popularize the difference between Taoist statues and Buddhist statues. If there is no value, then let him continue to sell according to the Buddhist statues.

If one day it can really be sold according to the Buddhist statue, the buyer also deserves it, and he still buys the Buddha statue, even the Nima Taoist Buddha can't tell the difference, and he deserves to be pitted!

Soon, he roughly confirmed that this statue of the water god should be a product of the same era as the huge one at auction. However, this is also in line with the development of history, after all, because of Genghis Khan's admiration for Changchun Zhenren, Taoism in the Yuan Dynasty was relatively good.

If you make sure that there is indeed a collection value, then it is necessary to take a good lesson with Fujita, fortunately, the network is developed now, otherwise it is really a troublesome thing to explain this problem clearly, and not let the other party think that he is lying to him.

However, before you are ready to buy, you must use the spirit card to take a dip.

Open the spirit card, first confirm the authenticity of the Yongle Shakyamuni Buddha statue before, and then point to the Taoist statue.

Suddenly, a fierce and icy cool air surged into Li Yi's body, and for a while, it seemed to be endless, freezing Li Yi on the ground!

It seemed that a long time had passed, and it seemed that only a moment had passed, Li Yi shuddered, and suddenly came to his senses, not bothering to look at the conclusion of the spirit identification card, he first observed the expressions of several people around him.

Fortunately, as if nothing had happened, Misa Aida was still chatting quietly with Fujita, listening to the topic, and the time had only passed for a few seconds at most.

What's going on?

After making sure that everyone did not find his abnormality, Lin Di looked at the conclusion of the spirit card with doubts, but he didn't expect this look to almost make him lose his temper on the spot.

"Yuan to Yuan, the bronze gilt Taoist water god will make a statue, genuine."

"Shakyamuni Buddha bone relics, genuine."

I wipe, this Taoist god will make a statue in the body, there is actually a piece of Sakyamuni's Buddha finger bone relics!

There is no need to explain what the relics are, the relics of ordinary monks are extremely precious, and this one is still Shakyamuni's!

Li Yi's memory has long since changed, and after a little search of the huge database in his mind, he immediately remembered the relevant information about the relics of Shakyamuni Buddha.

In the Famen Temple in Western Shaanxi Province, in the late eighties of the world, a Buddha bone relic of Sakyamuni was also unearthed, and the ranking of the Buddha bone relics in the current Chinese Xi Shi Treasures is even higher than the top national treasures such as the Yue Wang Goujian sword and the golden jade clothes!

Oh no, my brother!

Thinking about it, if that ranking was really credible, there were really few of the treasures he had now that could win this one! Even if it is just a folk ranking and has no practical significance, it is enough to show the preciousness of this Buddha bone relic!

He took a deep breath, and didn't have the energy to explain to Fujita the difference between Taoist statues and Buddhist statues, and asked directly, "How do these two Buddha statues sell?" ”

Fujita hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mr. Li, can you tell me about this bun?" ”

Li Yi smiled slightly, it seems that you don't want to give you more money.

"This bun is called Taoist bun in China, and it is a commonly used hairstyle for Taoist priests, so this is not a Buddhist statue, but a Taoist statue, called the Taoist Water God Statue."

Fujita continued to hesitate, but eventually asked, "Oh...... So Mr. Li, is this kind of statue precious? ”

"Let's put it this way, Mr. Fujita, in China, there are only a few limited dynasties, and the strength of Taoism is stronger than that of Buddhism, and in today's society, there are many more people who worship Buddha than those who believe in Taoism, so the value of Taoist statues is far lower than the value of contemporaneous Buddha statues."

In fact, Fujita knew when Li Yi said about the statue of the Taoist water god that this piece might not sell for much money. Although he doesn't even know the Taoist priest's hair, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the Taoist priest. Indeed, as Li Yi said, the power of Taoism cannot be compared with Buddhism at all.

There is no way to compare the power, which means that there are fewer people who like Taoist treasures. With a small audience, the value of the treasure will naturally be affected, that is, it is likely that this piece will be much cheaper than he expected.

I thought I got a special treasure, but I didn't expect it......

"That'...... Mr. Li, what price do you think this statue should be worth? ”

"Well, it's hard to say, after all, Taoist things, because of the audience, are relatively few, and the key is that no one does statistics. However, I can find some references, such a large bronze gilt Taoist statue in the Yuan Dynasty, the price should be around hundreds of thousands of soft sister coins, and it should not reach 10 million yen. ”

"It's not 10 million...... Fortunately, when I first heard that it was a Taoist statue, I thought it was only worth hundreds of thousands! It's okay, Mr. Li, if you decide to buy this Buddha statue, I will give you this Taoist statue as a gift! ”

Fujita quickly made a decision, since this one is not very valuable, then, there is no need to dwell on it any longer, and it is better to focus on the Buddha statue.

In fact, he had long wanted to send the Buddha statue to auction, but when he thought of the high commission of the auction house and the income tax rate that was even more terrifying than the commission, he retreated.

Now, this Mr. Li looks very powerful, if he can buy this Buddha statue, let alone give him a Taoist statue, he will be willing to give him two more!

"Oh?" One of the giveaways between is the handscroll of Shixuan of Hishikawa, a Japanese national treasure-level cultural relic, and now, are you going to send something to the Chinese national treasure?

"That'...... Mr. Fujita, how are you going to sell this Buddha statue? "There are so many similar lots of this Buddha statue that the price is very transparent. Li Yi originally thought that if there was no discount, he wouldn't buy it, but he didn't expect that there was still this benefit now, so he couldn't say it, so he had to invite him back.

"For this one, 800 million yen, what do you think of the price?"

"This price ......" To be honest, this price is cheaper than the auction, but considering Fujita's income, this price is too much for him. If you didn't understand the Taoist statue before, you can still pretend to be confused and let him, but now, you can't do this, otherwise it will be self-defeating and not beautiful.
