Inherit For Three Thousand Years

The way of cultivation is one sheet, one relaxation. Xiao Yao is still a young man, and it is impossible to stay at home every day, so he still needs to relax properly.

The celebrity charity auction held by Yiyun has become more and more popular in recent years. Xiao Yao thinks it is a good choice to participate in it and relax.

Wang Xiaoxian personally invited Xiao Yao to participate in this charity auction, with the purpose of getting closer to him. Xiao Yao agreed so readily, which made him very happy.

As for the precautions for participating in the auction, the explanation is naturally very detailed, "Once the guests participating in the charity auction choose to attend, they must do their part for charity. The guests present can choose two ways, one is to donate a valuable item and have it publicly auctioned at the auction; the other is to donate directly at the auction. All you have to do is make up your mind."

"After all, it's a charity auction, so I'd better 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 tycoons who have attended charity auctions over the years generally donate items or direct donations in the amount of 10 million to 20 million, and occasionally exceed 30 million. Last year, a total of 4 rich people donated items of about 10 million. The highest transaction price One piece is more than 16 million, and Mr. Xiao can use it as a reference." Wang Xiaoxian directly gave the specific figure 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 Yiyun is a sensation every year. Celebrities and rich people from all walks of life are gathered together. How come last year's donations are so high?" Are there only 4 people out of tens of millions? Then how much money did you raise in total last year?"

"Last year, there were a total of 6 people who donated tens of millions of dollars. In addition to the 4 millionaires, there were also two famous artists. The total amount of donations raised last year was more than 160 million."

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

"It's already quite a lot. The donations raised in the past few years have increased every year. Last year was the year with the most donations." Wang Xiaoxian patiently explained, "Although there are many people entering the venue every year, there are truly There were only about 300 people invited. Among these guests, the richest and celebrities with the most financial strength are only a small part, and celebrities from other walks of life have limited financial ability, so they can only increase their popularity."

"The leading charity auction in China has only raised such a small amount of money. The charity atmosphere in our country really needs to be strengthened." Xiao Yao expressed his feeling.

"It is precisely because the domestic charitable atmosphere is not satisfactory that more efforts must be made to publicize and cultivate it. The rich in our country do not want to be top birds. They are most afraid of being kidnapped by morality. Even when doing charity, they follow the golden mean. , the national conditions are like this, and wanting to change is not something that will happen overnight." Wang Xiaoxian has planned charity auctions for the past few years. Although the main purpose of Wang Xiaoxian's planning of charity auctions is to promote artistic charm, he has selfish intentions, but his contribution to charity cannot be denied. .

"Since you are participating in a charity auction, you must do your best. Sit down for a while, and I will choose one now." For Xiao Yao, doing charity is not only a sense of responsibility to repay the society, but also increase the sense of responsibility of the society. Merit.

Pan Wu's lesson, he must learn from it.

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

Pan Wu, as an ancient qi trainer with a long history, has some understanding of the effects of merit and karma. Although he has not done any evil things in the past few thousand years, causing karma to be entangled, but he, Grandet, also Not much merit has been accumulated.

In every calamity year, although he would sell a lot of grain, but he would sell it at a high price, and the merit he would get would be limited.

If he has accumulated massive merits and virtues during these thousands of years,

Maybe Xiao Yao has no chance of reversal at all.

To a certain extent, money is just a number, and material enjoyment will not increase with the continuous increase of money.

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

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

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

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

"It's rare for others, but Mr. Wang is well-informed, and my Buddha statue of Infinite Life can only be said to be an ordinary item." Xiao Yao opened the sandalwood box as soon as he spoke.

Inside the box is a gilt-copper statue of Amitayus, about 20 centimeters high.

Wang Xiaoxian's eyes lit up, "This is the style of the Ming court statues, can I take a look at it?"

"It was supposed to be handed over to you to take away, so you can watch it if you want."

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

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

This statue of the Buddha of Infinite Life has a high bun of dark blue hair, and the top is in the shape of a pearl. The forehead is wide and full, the pekoe is prominent, the eyebrows are connected with the nose and tibia, the eyelids are slightly drooping, the nose is high and the lips are thin, and the face is peaceful.

Wearing a heavenly silk skirt, with a silk skirt on the shoulders, with both hands placed in front of the abdomen to form the meditation seal, sitting in full lotus posture.

The modeling style of this statue is mainly derived from Tibet, but it does not emphasize the high nose and deep eyes of the Indian style as much as the Tibetan statues.

"Daming Xuande Nianshi" six characters and one line of regular script Yinzhi chiseled on the table in front of the lotus seat, the style is correct and the font is beautiful.

This is the best evidence of the creation of the "Buddha Works", the imperial prison of the Xuande Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty! The market price should be around 30 million.
