Chapter 123: Jade Guanyin and Spiritual Aura (Three Updates Seeking Votes)

  "Hehe, Luo boss is really annoying." Liao Wuyang chuckled and picked up his tea cup to take a sip, feeling that it was bland and tasteless. Nevertheless, he still complimented Luo Yuanming: "Good tea."

  Liao Wuyang has also been hanging out on Antique Street for most of his life. Although he is now just running a stall on Antique Street, the funds in his hands are not small and his family's wealth is quite substantial. To achieve this, he must be neither stupid nor foolish, but rather more cunning than average.

  Luo Yuanming and Ning Yuanyan chatted for a couple of sentences, Ning Yuanyan was full of nonsense, Liao Wuyang also slowly became suspicious, at this time he had a bottle worth 40-50 million by his side, originally sensitive, not to mention Ning Yuanyan's intentional or unintentional hints, at this moment a thread of vigilance rose in his heart.

  He drained the tea from his cup, and for fear of any trouble, Liao Wuyang forced a smile and stood up: "Luo Ye, Wang Laoban, I still have something to do this afternoon, so I won't bother you here. I'll definitely come at lunchtime and make it up to both of you then."

  When Liao Wuyang was about to leave, Luo Yuanming's face changed unintentionally, and he stood up with a smile: "Liao boss is so uninteresting, just when everyone is having fun in the afternoon, it's rare to chat, I'm also looking at Liao boss making a big deal, so enthusiastic, but now you want to leave, isn't that too boring? Did you get the treasure and forget about me, the matchmaker?"

  "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare." Liao Wuyang smiled and said: "Lord Luo, what are you saying? This time we were able to make this deal, you are my benefactor. However, something has come up under my hands, it's only three o'clock now, still early for dinner, I'll go back and take care of it first, and I will definitely arrive on time to personally toast Lord Luo."

  Liao Wuyang was obviously more afraid of Luo Yuanming, and he carefully accompanied him with a sense of urgency in his heart. If he didn't take back the bottle and put it away safely, his heart would be restless.

  It's also because the person in front of him is Luo Yuanming, who has some power in Liao Hai City and can eat both black and white. Liao Wuyang still couldn't make up his mind to tear his face with the other party, if it were someone else, he would have turned around and left long ago.

  Luo Yuanming had already made up his mind to eat with Liao Wuyang, so he wouldn't let him leave that easily. His face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly fell, and he coldly snorted: "It seems that Director Liao doesn't plan on giving me any face. I warmly invited you to stay, but you insist on leaving. Fine, if you want to go, then go! You don't need to thank me either. In all my years in Shangjiang City, few people have ever failed to give me face like this. Director Liao, you're the first."

  Liao Wuyang was immediately at a loss for words, although he had already detected that Luo Yuanming's words were a retreat in advance. However, he really didn't dare to offend Luo Yuanming and could only accompany him with a smile: "Lord Luo, your words are too serious, can't I just not leave?"

  "Haha, that's more like it! I've got a few interesting things stored away here, thinking of letting Ning and Luo take a look. Coincidentally, Wang is also an expert, and no one else here is in the know, so let's get him to appraise them first." Seeing Liao Wuyang back down, Luo Yuanming burst out laughing again, becoming enthusiastic once more. His rapid change of face left Ning Yuan unable to help but sweat.

  As he spoke, Luo Yuanming beckoned to the outside and a young waiter came in, respectfully asking: "Master Luo, what are your orders?"

  "Go get those few pieces of mine and let Liao Boss and Wang Zong a few people appraise them." Luo Yuanming said with a big smile.

  Listening to Luo Yuanming's words, both Ning Yuan and Liao Wuyang were covered in black lines. Luo Yuanming was not even willing to spend money on a play, casually letting a waiter bring over something that might be genuine but would definitely not be of high quality. Would Luo Yuanming really let the waiter know where to put his true treasures?

  The waiter responded with a sound, quickly turned around and went out, and soon brought in several things, one of which was a porcelain bottle, which should be a Qing Dynasty object, another calligraphy and painting, plus a jade Guanyin.

  Three things were carefully placed on the tea table in front of several people by the waiter, Luo Yuanming smiled and said: "This vase and this painting were bought at a high price by me a few days ago. This porcelain bottle should be from the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period. Brother Ning, take a look."

  "Yes, it's indeed a porcelain from the Yongzheng period. It should be a product of a civilian kiln and is considered to be quite good." Ningyuan glanced at it briefly and said calmly.

  This thing is genuine, but the style is ordinary and a bit rough. It's made by a folk kiln and costs around 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. For an average person, it's a rare item, but in Luo Yuanming's hands, it's absolutely a street stall product.

  "Haha, Ning brother's eyes are really sharp, I thought it was a genuine piece at the time and the price was a bit high." Luo Yuanming said with a smile, opening up the calligraphy and painting again: "Ning brother take another look at this?"

  Upon seeing the painting, Ningyuan narrowed his eyes and said after a moment of contemplation: "This is indeed an authentic work by Zhang Daqian, it's a good piece, and considering its relatively large size, I'd say it should be worth around one million."

  Listening to Ningyuan's comments, Wang Xinhui and Liao Wuyang were shocked again, and their evaluation of Ningyuan in their hearts was greatly improved. Ningyuan's ability to identify antiques can be said to have reached the level of a master.

  Especially Luo Yuanming, who had some misgivings in his heart. Ning Yu was young and had such extraordinary insight, he shouldn't be underestimated. He didn't want to offend this mysterious young man rashly.

  On the one hand, Luo Yuanming was deep in thought, while on the other hand, he picked up the last Jade Guanyin and said: "Ning brothers take a look at this again, my younger brother's eyesight is really admirable, even better than many experts."

  Unconsciously, Luo Yuanming started calling himself "old brother", wanting to use this to get closer to Ning Yuan. He thought that once this matter was settled, he would invite Ning Yuan out for a meal. In his opinion, even if the two were cooperating with Liao Wuyang, it would still be him who took the lead, and not Ning Yuan's "two into one" nonsense.

  This jade Guanyin is made of white jade, with Guanyin sitting on a lotus platform, making a preaching gesture, and has a peaceful appearance. From the perspective of craftsmanship, it can be considered a rare piece, and its value should be around 2 million.

  At this price, it's nothing in Luo Yuanming's eyes. The most valuable of the three items is Zhang Daqian's calligraphy and painting, which is worth around one million.

  However, when this jade Buddha was brought in, Ningyuan felt a special aura in the jade Buddha, which should be the spiritual power condensed by the incense and mantra.

  A person's spiritual thoughts themselves have a kind of aura, this aura is faint and imperceptible, generally can't be detected unless the spirit is extraordinary, sensing natural laws, entering the secret method, this aura can affect nature, producing a certain power, that is what is called the secret method.

  Ordinary people may not have a secret method to enter the door, but they also have this spiritual aura around them. Some people hold high positions and wield great power, giving off an oppressive air from afar. In fact, it's because of their long-term accumulation that their spirit has become strong, unintentionally exerting a kind of aura pressure on others.

  This spiritual atmosphere will also undergo subtle changes due to different emotions. Sincere prayers and joyful emotions can produce a peaceful atmosphere, similar to good fortune, which can change one's luck. Holding grudges and feeling down will produce resentment, similar to evil spirits, which can bring disaster and trouble.

  In life, there are many examples of this kind. If a family is in harmony and happiness, everything will go smoothly whether it's work or life, good things will happen one after another, and joy will fill the home.

  If a family is always in sorrow and resentment, complaining about heaven and others, it will always seem that life is against them, with disasters one after another, and an unsmooth life. This is actually the influence of aura on life.

  Life affects people, and people also affect life. Take a few people playing mahjong as an example. If you don't cheat, those who laugh and chat will always make mistakes, those who scold will always lose money, the winners win more, and the losers lose more.

  This atmosphere will also be strengthened by the increase in the number of people, which is what people call "human energy". In places where people gather, the human energy is strong and the yin evil energy is weak. In places where there are few people, the human energy is weak and the yin evil energy is stronger. This is also why people often say that encounters with ghosts and monsters usually occur in the wilderness and suburbs, because the yin evil energy is heavier in these areas. Some people who are not mentally strong will be influenced by the yin evil energy, produce hallucinations, and become suspicious and fearful of ghosts.

  At the same time, this aura will also affect the surrounding objects, just like Buddha statues. Some people have been worshiping and praying sincerely to the Buddha statue for years, and the auspicious aura generated by such prayers will nourish the Buddha statue, making it spiritual.

  The Buddha statue itself has the effect of avoiding evil and bringing good fortune, calming the house and ensuring prosperity, making people's fortunes continuous and their luck lasting.

  This jade Guanyin has obviously been around for some years, judging by its style it should be a Song Dynasty jade Guanyin. As people have been offering incense and praying sincerely to it month after month, year after year, this jade Guanyin has become spiritualized and turned into a rare and precious ritual object. With just a bit of nurturing, it can become an excellent ritual object for protecting the house.

  The object itself may not be worth much, but once it becomes a spiritual tool, in the eyes of those in the mystic door, it is priceless. Just like Ning Yuan obtained the Blood Qilin from Jiang Shihao's hands.

  Noticing the surname of this jade Guanyin, Ning Yuan naturally had some movement in his heart, and smiled: "This jade Guanyin should be a Song Dynasty object, but it's made of white jade, the material is not too good, the market price is around 2 million."

  "Haha, Ning Laoxiong is indeed an expert." Luo Yuanming smiled and said: "This Jade Guanyin was bought for 1.5 million, it seems not a loss."

  "One hundred and fifty thousand is not expensive." Ning Yuan smiled and nodded: "I have always had a special fondness for Guanyin Buddha statues, I don't know if Lord Luo's jade Guanyin can be spared, I am willing to pay a high price."

  When Ningyuan actually took a liking to this statue of Jade Guanyin, Luoyuanming was taken aback for a moment, followed by a burst of wild joy. He was thinking about how to get close to Ningyuan, and now wasn't this a great opportunity? He hastily waved his hand and said: "Brother Ning, don't be polite, what's with the nonsense about cutting off love? Since Brother Ning likes it, just take it, consider it as making friends. I, Luoyuanming, have no other hobbies except for collecting antiques and making friends."
