Inherit For Three Thousand Years

The way of cultivation is relaxing. Xiao Yao is still a young man. It is impossible to stay at home every day, so he still needs to relax appropriately.

The celebrity charity auction held by Yiyun has become more and more popular in the past few years. To participate and relax, Xiao Yao thinks it is a good choice.

Wang Xiaoxian personally invited Xiao Yao to participate in this charity auction. The purpose was to get closer to him. Xiao Yao agreed so happily, which made him very happy.

The precautions for participating in the auction are naturally explained in detail. "Guests participating in the charity auction, once they choose to attend, they must do their best for the charity. If the list of donations is not clean, after the donation list is made public, it will be criticized. The guests present can choose two ways, one is to donate a valuable item and auction it publicly at the auction; the other is to donate directly at the auction. There is no limit to the donated items and the amount of donation, as long as there is this Just do what you want."

"After all, it is a charity auction, so I still choose to donate items. In my capacity, what grade of items do you think is more appropriate to donate?" Xiao Yao humbly asked for advice.

"The top wealthy people who have attended charity auctions over the years have donated items or direct donations generally ranging from 10 million to 20 million, and occasionally more than 30 million. Last year, a total of 4 rich people donated about 10 million items, the highest transaction price One piece is more than 16 million, Mr. Xiao can use this as a reference." Wang Xiaoxian directly gave the specific number as a reference.

This number is much less than Xiao Yao imagined. "It's not very high. In my impression, the celebrity charity auction held by your Yiyun is a sensation every year. There are so many celebrities and rich people from all walks of life. How did you donate money last year? Are there 4 people out of tens of millions? How many donations did you raise in total last year?"

"Last year, there were 6 people who donated about 10 million yuan. In addition to 4 rich people, there are also two famous artists. All the donations raised last year amounted to more than 160 million."

"So many celebrities and rich people participated in the charity auction, how did they raise such a small amount of money?" Xiao Yao was a little puzzled.

"It's already a lot. The donations raised in the past few years have increased every year. Last year was the year when the most donations were raised." Wang Xiaoxian explained patiently, "Although there are a lot of people who enter the venue every year, there are really There are only about 300 people for invitations. Among these guests, the wealthiest and celebrities with the most economic strength are only a few. Other celebrities from all walks of life have limited economic capabilities and can only increase their popularity.

"The leading charity auction in China has only raised such a small amount of money. Our domestic charity atmosphere really needs to be strengthened." Xiao Yao said with sentiment.

"It is precisely because of the unsatisfactory atmosphere of charity in China that it is necessary to intensify publicity and cultivation. We domestic rich people are not willing to be the first bird, most afraid of being kidnapped by morals, and even do charity and follow the principle of moderation. The national conditions are like this, and want to change is not a matter of overnight.” Wang Xiaoxian has planned charity auctions in recent years. Although the main purpose is to promote art, it is selfish, but his contribution to charity cannot be denied. .

"Since you are participating in a charity auction, you have to do your best. If you sit for a while, I will choose one now." For Xiao Yao, doing charity is not only a reward for social responsibility, it can also increase Merit.

He must learn from the lesson of Panwu.

Merit value is very important for cultivators. Although it is usually invisible and intangible, it may play a decisive role at critical moments.

As an ancient qi practitioner with a long heritage, Panwu has some understanding of the role of merit and karma. Although he has not done any evil in these thousands of years, which has caused karma to be ridden, he is also a grandiose. Did not accumulate much merit.

In every disaster year, although he would sell food on a large scale, it was sold at a high price, and his merits were limited.

If he had accumulated a huge amount of merit in these thousands of years, maybe Xiao Yao would never have the chance to reverse it.

The money is so much that it is just a number, and the material enjoyment will not increase with the continuous increase of money.

Xiao Yao already has the foundation of the eternal soul, so he doesn't need to deliberately do charity to increase his merit, but he is happy to do things that go smoothly.

After a while, Xiao Yao returned with a sandalwood box.

Wang Xiaoxian estimated that Xiao Yao would not donate too precious items, but with Xiao Yao's background, the items he prepared to donate are still worth looking forward to.

"Mr. Xiao's collection, any one is probably a rare treasure. I can't wait to open the sandalwood box and take a look."

"It's quite rare for others, but Wang Dong has a lot of knowledge, and my immortal Buddha statue can only be said to be an ordinary item." Xiao Yao opened the sandalwood box as he spoke.

Placed in the box is a gilt bronze statue of the Immortal Buddha, about 20 centimeters in height.

Wang Xiaoxian's eyes lit up, "This is the style of Daming palace statues. Can I get started with it?"

"It was meant to be taken away by you, so just watch it if you want."

As the chairman of the auction house, and with a purpose, Wang Xiaoxian carried the most basic identification tools with him.

He took out a pair of white gloves from his bag, then took out a magnifying glass, and began to appreciate it carefully.

This statue of Buddha of immeasurable life has a cyan hair bun high, and the crown is in the shape of an orb. The forehead is wide and rich, the white hairs are prominent, the eyebrows are connected to the nose and shin, the eyelids are slightly drooping, the nose is high and the lips are thin, and the face is peaceful.

Wearing a silk skirt with heavenly robes and silk on the shoulders, with both hands placed in front of the abdomen with the meditation seal, sitting in a full-legged position.

The modeling style of this statue is mainly derived from Tibet, but it is not like the Tibetan statues that emphasize the high nose and deep facial features of the Tibetan statues. It basically shows the appearance of the Han nationality and has the beautiful charm of Nepalese statues.

The proportions of the body are comfortable, and the details of the hands and feet are extremely realistic. It not only meets the standards of Tibetan Buddha statues, but also integrates the aesthetic concepts and traditional expressions of the Han.

The texture of skirts and silk fabrics is relatively strong, especially in the treatment of pleats, the twists and turns flow naturally, which is quite free and easy and vivid. It can be said to be a graceful and luxurious Buddha style that embodies the royal style.

The era characteristics of the rosette are more prominent. The waist is retracted, the angle is sharp, and the top and bottom are decorated with two beads. The overlying lotus petals are wide, plump and plump, and the inner edge of the ornamental tip curls up like a curly grass, and the cusps of the lower lotus petals are exposed between the main petals on the surface, which are slightly upturned.

"Da Ming Xuande Nian Shi" is engraved on the table in front of the rosette with six characters and one line in regular script. The writing is correct and the font is beautiful.

This is the best proof of the "Buddha" made by the imperial guard of the Xuande Dynasty in Ming Dynasty! The market price should be around 30 million.
