386 Auction House

So, at this time, Li Tian gradually became confused in the eyes of the old man, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that Li Tian was the Taoist master he had been looking for. Excited, he was a little at a loss, and said tremblingly: "Great, master......"

Li Tian waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do!"

The old gentleman has been searching for most of his life, and today he finally has the possibility of meeting the legendary immortal chief, so how can he be willing to miss this good opportunity? But how can he keep others? The old gentleman has also read a lot of Xianxia novels in his spare time, and the immortal cultivators in them are all masters who cannot afford to make profits early. So he thought about it: "Master, although the blood jade I bought at a high price is fake, it doesn't mean that they don't have the real thing there?"

Li Tian, who was in a hurry to leave, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "What? Do you know their address?"

"Of course!" Seeing that the success aroused Li Tian's interest, the old gentleman's suspended heart finally calmed down: "It's just that because many of the things they trade are prohibited, the locations they generally choose are very hidden, and those who go to the auction must have an introducer to introduce them." ”

"Is this place you said open today?" asked Li Tian.

"Business is business, but ......," replied the old gentleman hesitantly.

"Is there anything unspeakable?" Li Tian looked at him and said disapprerovingly: "Then forget it! You will have more than three million yuan for a fake blood jade, and I can't touch the things I want to come there." ”

"No, no!" Originally, the old gentleman wanted to show embarrassment so that he could make some requests to Li Tian or something, but he didn't expect that people didn't care at all. So, he hurriedly explained: "Since I told you about this matter, how can I be embarrassed? It's just that it's still early, and this underground exchange is usually open from three to five o'clock in the afternoon, and the goods inside are all in the form of auctions, and the highest bidder gets it!"

"In that case, you can prepare the items I want to procure, and then let's find a place to have lunch!"

So, the two chose a good restaurant near the antique city, the old gentleman ordered a few exquisite specialties, and the two of them waited until the secret trade fair of the antique city was about to start, and the old gentleman hurriedly paid for the meal and took Li Tian into an ancient building a little west of the center of the entire antique city. During this period, the two exchanged names with each other, and Li Tian knew that the old gentleman's name was Zhai Hanyun.

Walking into the ancient building, they walked up the stairs When they reached the second and a half floors, Zhai Hanyun did not continue to walk to the third floor, but stood in place and coughed several times: three long and two short. Then I waited for a while, and coughed two long and three short; At this time, there seemed to be someone on the other side of the wall who coughed a few times, and then Zhai Hanyun coughed three long and two short again, and then a downward passage appeared at the staircase leading to the third floor, Zhai Hanyun hurriedly walked in first, Li Tian followed, and after the two walked in, the secret passage closed again. They continued to go down, turned a few flights of stairs, and walked a little more flat road, and then walked into the secret trading club under the Shenzhen Antique City.

Zhai Hanyun is not a high-level customer here, only because he is an old merchant in the antique city, so he only knows about this place, so he is not qualified to choose a private room, but he and Li Tian came here early, found a seat with a good location and sat down and waited for the transaction to begin.

"Be quiet, be quiet!" Before the transaction began, people who knew each other sat together and talked, when suddenly a man came out of the trading table and said in a loud voice: "Everyone! Everyone! Everyone is a regular customer! I will not waste everyone's time! Now the auction of the first treasure of the day begins. Miss Manners, please!" After speaking, he pointed to the side of the trading desk, and there was a beautiful woman.

The woman came in style, holding a tray in both hands, and walked up to the host with a beautiful box in the tray. The host opened the box on the tray, and inside was a piece of exquisite blood jade, and after the hostess held the tray and walked back and forth in front of the trading desk, she returned to the host, and the host shouted: "This is a priceless piece of human blood jade, the starting price is one million, and the price is increased by ten thousand each time, and the auction will start now! Okay! This gentleman has increased the price by 100,000 yuan! Is it higher than this gentleman's? Is it higher than this gentleman's?"

"One million and one hundred and one thousand!" Another man raised the price.

"1,120,000 ......"

In less than a few minutes, this piece of blood jade had been fried to more than 1.5 million, and Zhai Hanyun quietly asked, "Master! The price of this piece of blood jade is not high! Do you think we should also bid for it?"

During the meal, Li Tian didn't let him be called 'Master Master', but Zhai Hanyun just didn't listen, Li Tian really had no choice, so he went. From the time the price of this piece of blood jade began to increase, Li Tian closed his eyes, and now when he heard Zhai Hanyun's inquiry, he closed his eyes and said, "This piece of blood jade is not as good as yours! If you want to buy it, then you can buy it!"

As they spoke, the auction of this piece of blood jade had already come to an end, and the price was really similar to the price Zhai Hanyun auctioned a few days ago about 2.93 million, no wonder someone spared no effort to forge the blood jade.

The next auction item was still blood jade, and it took five pieces of blood jade to be auctioned in a row before it was changed to a bronze artifact of the Shang Dynasty, and the transaction price of each piece of blood jade was about 2.9 million.

"A Million ......"

"1,500,000 ......"

"Two Million ......"

"800,000 ......"

The starting price of the auction items only made Li Tian's face twitch, and in Zhai Hanyun's eyes, he always leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes slightly.

"A Qing Dynasty money sword that is now being auctioned!" At this time, the host introduced another auction item that Miss Manners had brought up, and the host couldn't help but be stunned after seeing the auction items in Miss Manners's tray. However, he immediately took a look at the origin of the auction item and said: "As we all know: the money sword is used by mages to catch ghosts and subdue demons and monsters, and it can also be hung in front of the door to ward off evil spirits. ......”

The host saw that the enthusiasm in the venue cooled down instantly, and hurriedly said: "This money sword is made of one hundred and eight Qianlong Tongbao carving mother strings, and then blessed into a magic weapon, its demon exorcism energy is naturally not to be underestimated! Not to mention these effects, even these one hundred and eight Qianlong Tongbao are worth a lot of ......."

"You'd better hurry up and change an auction item!" Before the host finished speaking, someone shouted below: "Who can come here is not a professional? Who doesn't know: the money sword is used to ward off evil spirits? But if there is no yin spirit at home, there is no need to hang the money sword; moreover, the sword will be somewhat murderous, so casually placing some sword-shaped items in the house will not only not bring happiness, but will affect the health of the family; Therefore, it is not suitable to hang the money sword in the house. ”

"Ahem...... The host coughed dryly a few times, and said embarrassedly: "This gentleman is right! But you don't need it, but it doesn't mean that others don't need it! The asking price of this money sword collector is ......."

Li Tian, who had been closing his eyes slightly, suddenly opened his eyes, and his body leaning against the back of the chair straightened.

Carving mother, also known as ancestral money, after passing the audit, as the purpose of casting mother money. Since the Song Dynasty, our country has adopted the sand turning method to cast money, whenever there is new money, it is directly carved into a money mold with copper or tin and lead, that is, the carving mother or ancestral money, and the ancestral money is used as a mold when casting money, and the mother money is recast. The carved mother money is exquisite, the words are deep, the strokes of each word are very clear, there is no adhesion and blurring, and the strokes are thinner than the circulation money of the same version, and there are traces of hand-carved from the details.

The mother coin is a standard model coin made by the central and local governments when a large number of coins were minted in ancient times. The use of mother money as a model can be divided into three types, namely money sample, carved mother money and cast mother money.

In Qianlong Tongbao, the carving mother is the most valuable. The sample coins are directly minted from the carved mother, so they are larger than ordinary coins, the handwriting is very clear, the depth is very deep, and the most important thing is that the quality is particularly good. Therefore, perhaps the sample money is not as valuable as the carving mother, but it is more valuable than the ordinary Qianlong Tongbao.

Compared with ordinary coins, the carving mother and mother money of Qianlong Tongbao are particularly rare, and they have become the favored objects of collectors and have a high collection value. At present, a carved mother can be sold for 50,000 yuan, and the price of the mother money is more than 1,000 yuan. The price of ordinary coins can only be sold for a few dollars, and the maximum is not more than twenty yuan.

"Ten million!"

After hearing the price shouted by the host, Li Tian felt that his scalp was about to explode! This still made people not live? His salary had never exceeded 5,000, and he had to work for several lifetimes with this unattractive money sword?

He had just aroused some interest, and shrank back into his chair again.

Li Tian's small movements all entered the eyes of Zhai Hanyun, who was a painter beside him. So, he held up the sign in his hand and shouted, "Ten million!"

Here, Zhai Hanyun also came to take a look. This money sword has been auctioned here for nearly a year, and since its price has been nearly double the market price, and the owner of the money sword has never lowered the price, it has never been auctioned. It is precisely because of this that the host did not say the rules for price increases.

The host, who thought that he was going to have a miscarriage again, suddenly heard someone shouting the price, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the shouting price, and then shouted excitedly: "10 million once! Has anyone raised the price? 10 million twice! You must not miss the opportunity, and you will not come back if you lose it! This is a peerless treasure! 10 million three times! This money sword belongs to this gentleman! Please ask this gentleman to go through the closing procedures in a while!"

The host's speech speed this time was surprisingly fast, not at all like a previous one, slow and slow. In the past, it was to give everyone time to hesitate for a while, but this time it was for fear that Zhai Hanyun would regret it.
