"The second treasure is in another room, please come this way." Su Jing didn't waste any time and led them to the next room. They saw something about two meters standing on the ground, covered with black cloth. Judging from the rough shape, it seems to be humanoid. This made Sun Yuheng, Zhou Hongyuan, Zhou Tianrui, and Wang Siya couldn't help but wonder, could it be a humanoid sculpture
Su Jing grabbed the black cloth, opened a corner, revealing a wooden palm, and then paused. The four of them just glanced at the wooden palm, their pupils shrank slightly, and then they quickly stepped forward to observe carefully.
"This is agarwood!" Wang Siya's eyes lit up.
"And it's the top-grade agarwood and Qinanxiang!" Zhou Tianrui said.
"This fragrance is absolutely amazing. I have never smelled such a good-smelling agarwood." Zhou Hongyuan exclaimed.
"Mr. Su, isn't the entire carving made of top-grade agarwood and Qinnan incense?" Sun Yuheng looked at the two-meter-high shape under the black cloth and suddenly asked. After asking, he felt a little ridiculous. How could this be possible? ? Wang Siya, Zhou Tianrui, and Zhou Hongyuan also glanced at Su Jing, hoping that Su Jing would answer no, otherwise it would be really difficult to accept it.
In the collection world, there are two collectibles with the most astonishing price increases. One is jade, known as the "crazy stone"; the other is agarwood, known as the "diamond in the wood." There is a jargon in the collecting circle: "Mahogany is sold by the ton, huanghuali is sold by the kilogram, and agarwood is sold by the gram."
Good agarwood smells elegant and pleasant. In today's highly developed world, its smell cannot be synthesized artificially, so it is very precious. And generally only agarwood trees that are more than ten years old can form agarwood, and better-quality agarwood takes hundreds or even thousands of years to form. Therefore, the yield of good agarwood is very low, and high-quality wild agarwood in various places has been As supplies become increasingly depleted, prices naturally remain high. Nowadays, the price of Qinanxiang is more than 10,000 yuan per gram.
Moreover, the bigger they are, the more valuable they are. Large carved ornaments are not as easy to buy based on grams. It would be amazing if a sculpture as big as two meters high could contain all the incense.
"Haha, see for yourselves." Su Jing said, lifting the black cloth, revealing the whole picture.
They glanced at it, and then suddenly took a breath. If they saw it correctly, the two-meter-high huge carvings were actually Qinanxiang, and they were one complete piece. They felt like they couldn't breathe.
However, before they had time to carefully observe and digest the preciousness of agarwood itself, they were attracted by the appearance of the carving itself. I saw that this was a statue of a Bodhisattva with three sides and four arms. The upper hands were in the shape of fists, the lower right hands were supporting the abdomen, and the hand on the chest was stuffed into the mouth, and the mouth bit its fingers. His eyes were as wide as a bell, his fangs were straight up, his fury hair was like a flame, and he was full of inexhaustible anger.
Looking at this Buddha sculpture, everyone felt a trembling feeling in their hearts, as if they were being glared at by a real Bodhisattva. But then, I felt a sense of concentration, as if under the blessing of such a Bodhisattva, all demons and ghosts had to retreat, and I was not afraid of anything.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and the scene was completely silent. After a while, Zhou Hongyuan, Xiaozhi and another monk, who were in a sluggish state, suddenly plopped down in front of the Buddha statue and knelt down with pious expressions on their faces. Shi Qing, Zhou Tianrui, and Sun Yuheng also looked dull and shocked. They had never thought that a Buddha sculpture could bring such a feeling, as if a real legendary Bodhisattva was standing in front of them.
"Dad... what kind of Bodhisattva is this?" After a long silence, Zhou Tianrui couldn't help but ask.
"This is King Fudo." Zhou Hongyuan looked pious. He had already seen one of Su Jing's Buddhist sacred objects, the black gold stone tea tray. In comparison, this Buddhist sculpture was not inferior, and even surpassed it. Of. Of course, the effect is not the same. The black gold stone tea tray makes people get rid of worries and feel peaceful. And this Buddha statue of Fudo Myoyo makes people feel firm and fearless.
"This treasure is so good!" Sun Yuheng came back to his senses, surprised and happy, because he clearly felt that this Buddha sculpture was so artistic, even better than the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on the piece of paper. Moreover, the Buddha sculpture itself is generally more precious than a piece of paper. The old man likes Buddhism, and he will definitely like it very much if he gets this gift.
"No, no, this Buddha sculpture cannot be sold. Isn't this a blasphemy to the Buddha?" Zhou Hongyuan immediately objected.
"You borrowed the Prajna Meditation Sutra, and now you want to snatch this Buddha sculpture? I don't care about you, do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Sun Yuheng had a cold face, he was really angry, and he was really angry. Come on, the Zhou family is no match for him.
"I didn't say that I wanted to take this Fudo Ming King away. I don't have the courage, but you shouldn't take it away either." Zhou Hongyuan said.
"If you don't have the guts to leave, then it has nothing to do with you." Sun Yuheng said.
It was fine just now, but now they suddenly started arguing again. No wonder they, anyone who sees the statue of Fudo Mingwang cannot calm down. Wang Siya and Zhou Tianrui also feel like inviting it home.
"Stop arguing now." Zhou Tianrui suddenly interrupted their quarrel and asked Sun Yuheng, "Mr. Sun, even if my father doesn't stop him, Mr. Su is willing to sell this Immovable King Bodhisattva to you. You can afford it." Price?”
Sun Yuheng was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed slightly. Zhou Tianrui's question was a bloodbath. If the price is around 100 million, then he can afford it, but any higher price will be more taxing. And this Bodhisattva Fudo Mingwang wants to take away 100 million? No matter how thick-skinned Sun Yuheng is, he still can't open his mouth. Regardless of the unspeakable artistic conception of the Bodhisattva Fudo Mingwang, such a huge agarwood ornament alone cannot be won by 100 million. A few years ago, there was an agarwood-carved fairy mountain pavilion inlaid with a diorama screen , at the Beijing Poly Spring Auction, the starting price was 5.2 million yuan, and the final price was 20.7 million yuan. Compared with that screen, the two-meter-high statue of Fudo Myoyo is countless times rarer, and the price is at least several times higher.
If you take into account the artistic conception of Fudo Myoyo Bodhisattva, it would be even more incredible. It is definitely a priceless treasure. If you sell it, the price will increase many times. 100 million, at most one thigh can be taken away.
The more Sun Yuheng thought about it, the uglier his face became. It was like when he was very hungry and had a bowl of fragrant beef noodles in front of him, but he couldn't eat it. This feeling was very uncomfortable. It's rare for a second treasure to be so perfect and suitable, but I didn't expect that I was stumped because of the price. Su Jing, you said you could just take out a Buddha sculpture, but why is it so huge, so artistic, and so fragrant? If any one of them is inferior, you will die.
