    "Then let me help you!"

    Meng Zitao smiled coldly and prepared to trick Ren Xitong next.

    However, what he didn¡¯t expect was that Ren Xitong kept quiet and did not participate in two things in a row. One of them was photographed by Meng Zitao, and he didn¡¯t care.

    "Hey, this guy is quite alert." Meng Zitao muttered in his heart.

    The auction is coming to an end. So far, Na Mingsheng is very satisfied with the transaction price. He looks a little more relaxed and smiles at everyone: "The next one is a painting "" that my brother took all the hard work to get back from Xiangjiang."  "Picture of the Great Arhat", the author is Ding Yunpeng, a famous painter of the Ming Dynasty."

    Knowing that it was this painting, some calligraphy and painting lovers present were very excited, and Ren Xitong even showed an expression of determination to win.

    ¡° Discovering that so many people were interested in this painting without seeing the content of the scroll, Meng Zitao was very curious and asked Yu Ming in a low voice what was going on.

    Yu Ming explained: "This painting was taken by Na Bo Dong from the hands of a wealthy man from Xiangjiang. It gave Na Bo Dong a lot of face at the time. After returning to China, he specially invited three heavyweights.  The calligraphy and painting appraisers re-appraised it, and the experts unanimously agreed that it is authentic."

    "This painting is one of Na Bodong's favorites. I remember that someone wanted to buy it for 10 million yuan last year, but he didn't agree."

    Meng Zitao nodded, so that's what happened. Since there are three experts' appraisals, there will definitely be no problem with this painting. In addition, Ding Yunpeng's Arhat statue is very outstanding, and there are rumors that he spent 10 million to buy it, which aroused everyone's attention.  The attention is perfectly normal.

    But one thing made Meng Zitao very curious. Could it be that Bodong no longer wanted to collect antiques?  Otherwise, why would you even sell your favorite collection?

    Just when Meng Zitao was thinking wildly, he heard Ming Sheng say with a smile: "Okay, I won't say any more. Now, friends who are interested can come forward to appreciate it one by one. Please try your best when touching the paintings.  Be careful."

    After saying that, Na Mingsheng put on his gloves, carefully unfolded the scroll, and then stood next to the scroll as if he were facing an enemy. This was partly because the painting was very valuable, but also because calligraphy and painting works were relatively fragile. If something went wrong,  That's trouble.

    Ding Yunpeng¡¯s courtesy name is Nanyu, and his name is Shenghua layman.  He was a famous painter and ink modeler during the Longqing and Tianqi years of the Ming Dynasty.  He is good at painting figures, Buddha statues, landscapes, etc.  He once painted ink models for Junfang and Fang Yulu of Mingmo Engineering, and served in the inner court for more than ten years.

    Judging from Ding Yunpeng¡¯s friends, he became associated with Buddhism in his middle age and had close contacts with eminent monks Zibai and Hanshan of the Ming Dynasty.  Many original manuscripts of Buddhist paintings in the "Jiaxing Collection", a large volume of Buddhist scriptures in the Ming Dynasty, were written by Ding.

    According to historical records of painting, Ding Yunpeng and Dong Qichang also had deep feelings. When Dong was 36 years old (Ding Yunpeng was 42 years old), he saw Ding Yunpeng's "Shanglin Picture" at the home of his teacher Xu Guo.  Write an inscription and postscript and hang it in the hall.  Afterwards, Dong Qichang repeatedly wrote inscriptions on Ding Yunpeng's calligraphy and paintings, praising his "unparalleled work in three hundred years" and giving Ding the seal of "Hao Sheng Guan".

    Although everyone wanted to appreciate it carefully, Mingsheng would not give everyone much time. The maximum allocated to each person was about five minutes, so it was Meng Zitao's turn soon, and he saw the "Great Arhat Picture" on the table.  It is a hand scroll depicting the otherworldly life scenes of Arhats.

    Starting from the right side of the hand scroll, two Arhats are shown meditating and facing the wall, cross-legged on a futon. It is surrounded by dense green shade, creating a pure place. The cleverly painted rock wall isolates the lively scene on the left.  Following the picture, we entered the mountain forest. There was an Arhat holding a pagoda, and another Arhat sitting on a stone platform, staring at the divine tiger in front of him.  In this way, there are a total of eighteen Arhats with different shapes and movements.

    The vivid character creation is the first impression that this painting gave Meng Zitao. The depiction of mountains, rocks and trees is also quite wonderful, using a brushwork with a slightly freehand effect to express programmed modeling.

    Throughout the entire work, Meng Zitao was filled with admiration, but he immediately said in his heart, "What a pity!"

    Because this painting is not an authentic work, it should be a forgery from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. However, the painter's level is very high. In terms of brushwork and artistic conception, it is so lifelike that it can be mistaken for the real thing. If it weren't for Meng Zitao's huge knowledge reserve  , and with the help of supernatural powers, he might really be able to get an eye shot.

    After everyone had finished appreciating it, Na Mingsheng said: "I believe many people have heard rumors about this painting, and this rumor is indeed true, so I won't waste everyone's time. The starting price is 10 million.  Please make an offer!"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone has never encountered such a starting price before, some people began to curse in their hearts, feeling that that Mingsheng is really enough.¡±I was so unbelieving or arrogant that I set the starting price at 10 million, and I wasn¡¯t afraid that no one would bid.

    However, you can only think about this, because someone immediately quoted 10.5 million, and the bidder was none other than Ren Xitong. This guy looked around and showed that he was determined to win.

    Meng Zitao sneered in his heart, no wonder he didn¡¯t bid just now. It turned out that he wanted to take this painting and was worried that he didn¡¯t have enough money!  How could he succeed?  However, he was not in a hurry and was ready to strike at the critical moment.

    The current market for ancient calligraphy and painting is still on the rise. It was ten million a year ago, and it is normal for it to rise to one or two million a year later. So 10.5 million must not have reached the peak, so then, a few people joined the battle group,  The price soon rose to 12.8 million. At this time, anyone who wanted this painting had to consider whether it was worth it.

    "12.8 million, is there anyone else who wants to bid?" Na Mingsheng scanned the crowd with his eyes and found that those who were competing just now were hesitant. It seems that the price should be about the same. He felt satisfied and a little pity in his heart. If he could  It would be better if it were higher.

    Meng Zitao looked at the triumphant Ren Xitong and felt that it was time. Just as he was about to bid, his heart suddenly moved because his intuition gave him a bad feeling.

    At this time, Ren Xitong happened to look over and saw Meng Zitao opening his mouth slightly with a disdainful smile. Meng Zitao suddenly smiled and said silently to Ren Xitong: "I'll give it to you."

    Ren Xitong's expression changed and he looked a little stunned. He obviously didn't expect that Meng Zitao would not raise a price. Looking around, he saw that no one was raising the price anymore. His eyes were a little panicked for a moment.

    Meng Zitao looked at the somewhat panicked Ren Xitong, feeling a little funny and sighing in his heart. If he hadn't had an intuition to remind him, maybe he would be the one crying at this time.

    "It seems you should not underestimate anyone, otherwise you may end up shooting yourself in the foot!"

    Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Ren Xitong said with a smile: "Mr. Ren, congratulations on getting this "Portrait of the Great Arhat", I hope you can treat it well in the future."

    Ren Xitong cursed in his stomach and showed an unnatural smile on his face. If possible, he really wanted to break the contract, but if he really did this, his reputation and even the reputation of the auction company would be ruined. In the antique circle, whether it is big or not,  And it involves this kind of transaction worth tens of millions. It won't be long before others know about it. If he goes back on his word, the price will be too high. He has no intention but no courage!

    "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

    Not to mention that Ren Yitong was cursing in his heart, Na Mingsheng walked up to the last piece of the collection and said: "To be honest, I don't intend to give up this last piece, but I can't help it. Because of this, my brother  He was disheartened by the situation, so he planned to transfer the Buddhist niche and the three Buddha statues inside."

    "Friends who have studied Buddhist cultural relics should know that during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, emperors of all dynasties highly praised Tibetan Buddhism out of the need to appease Mongolia and Tibet, protect the country, and pray for longevity. Especially Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty  During the Yongzong and Qianlong periods, large-scale construction of Tibetan Buddhist temples was carried out in Beijing, Mount Wutai and other places, and a large number of imperial statues and Buddhist utensils came into being, fully reflecting the outstanding artistic and cultural achievements of the Qing Dynasty in its heyday."

    "Unfortunately, due to the passage of time, there are very few wooden Buddhist altarpieces that have survived to this day. Most of them are hidden in the Forbidden City and other places. There are very few of them on the auction market. This Buddhist altar was made during the Qianlong period. The material is red sandalwood and it is of three-chamber style.  , the workmanship is gorgeous and exquisite, showing the royal style.
