As the saying goes: Play is play, joke is joke, but don't joke with your life.

Master Li looked in the direction of Zhang Yang's finger and saw that Aunt Shen's face was indeed ugly, so he immediately walked over quickly.

Originally, Aunt Shen wanted to raise the price, but after Master Li came over, he ordered the other party's husband to forcibly hold down the old aunt's hands and cover her mouth.

Only then did the old lady's life get saved.

"Okay, I announce that the final transaction price of this Shang Dynasty Double Sheep Zun is 135 million yuan. Congratulations to the female buyer!"

After the host finished speaking, he pointed at Li Zi, and sparse applause broke out at the scene.

It’s not that the bidding just now was not exciting, but no one knew what the two people were fighting for. It always felt like the aunties in the vegetable market pulling each other’s hair. It was indeed lively, but it’s hard to say how good it was.

Li Zi was bathed in the sparse applause and stood back beside Zhang Yang.

The first thing she did after calming down was to quietly pinch Zhang Yang's waist.

"Hiss—" Zhang Yang grimaced in pain, dodging a little and whispered, "What are you doing?"

"Don't think I didn't see it. Just now you asked Master Li to persuade Aunt Shen to stop."

"What do you mean, do you think I can't outbid her and you have to do it?"

"Humph!"

"No, you're mistaken. It was Master Li who came to persuade me and asked me if I wanted to persuade you to stop. I disagreed, so he went to Auntie's place."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I would never doubt your bidding ability, even if I doubt anyone. You are a strong woman."

"Hehe, that's true." Li Zi smiled innocently. Even though she knew that the strong woman Zhang Yang talked about was not true, she just liked to hear it.

After laughing, she reached out and gently rubbed the place where Zhang Yang had pinched her just now, and said softly:

"I didn't hurt you just now, did I? I'm sorry, I won't do it again next time."

"Well, as long as there isn't a next time." Zhang Yang nodded while suppressing his smile. He said this every time, and only a fool would believe it.

……

After getting the Twin Sheep Zun, Zhang Yang had no interest in the next treasure. He just wanted to end the auction quickly and find a way to go through the formalities to take the Twin Sheep Zun back.

So even though the uncles and aunts present asked him many times to go on stage and compete with Master Li, he did not go on stage.

He just sat there quietly, hugging Li Zi and feeling the atmosphere of the auction.

Until something strange appeared.

"Before we start the auction of the next item, I would like to make a statement."

For the first time, the host did not directly invite Master Li to come up and take a look, but instead acted as if he would stack BUFFs first.

This scene aroused the curiosity of everyone present.

After making sure that everyone's attention was on him, the host coughed twice and began to introduce:
"The next item is a special religious item. Please make sure it complies with the laws and regulations of your area before bidding to avoid being unable to collect it due to illegality."

"Because the goods cannot be received due to the laws and regulations in your area, we do not accept returns and do not assume any responsibility."

"Everyone, did you hear it clearly?" the host asked timidly.

The buyers present had already become impatient after listening to this. It was just that the items might not be allowed to be collected in China. Everyone who travels abroad should be mentally prepared.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Yes, hurry up and show us what you have. Do you think your voice is nice?" "Hurry up. We are not stupid and we will definitely not buy anything that is really illegal."

"What can it be? It's just some antique like ivory or rhino horn. You can just get a certificate and take it back. Don't make a fuss."

Zhang Yang felt that what the elder brother next to him said made sense. After all, this auction was limited to auctioning Chinese antiques.

Although there were many anthropomorphisms in China's feudal society, generally speaking, people's collection level has not declined, and there is still a certain pursuit of artistic value.

That kind of completely bizarre thing, even if it was popular at the time, after thousands of years of trials and tribulations, only one in ten will remain today.

If we count them carefully, perhaps only ivory, rhino horns, tiger bones, and corals are indeed valuable antiques, but they are also prone to legal risks.

Facts have proved that Zhang Yang's idea is correct.

This item, which the host specially stacked with buffs, is indeed a rare bone product.

But the special thing is...

"Everyone, this is a 17th century Tantric robe. If you don't know what a robe is, you can search it online. I won't go into details here."

“Friends who are interested can come up and take a look for themselves.”

After the host finished speaking, he ran to the side as if he was avoiding the plague.

His actions successfully earned him a wave of comments that he was "pretentious."

"Tantric robes?" Li Zi leaned on Zhang Yang's shoulder and asked, "What is that? It looks a bit like jade, and a bit like a golden jade robe."

"It feels weird."

"Feels weird? That's right. Tantric things are supposed to be weird and evil. Otherwise, they can't be considered proper Tantric Buddhism."

Zhang Yang had no interest in the so-called Tantric cultural relics. He had seen a video on identifying the Kapaliyat on Douyin before, so he had a very bad impression of Tantric Buddhism.

But his lack of interest doesn't mean he doesn't know what it is.

Because there were so many aunties around, someone soon shouted:

"I found it. This Tantric robe is made of the same kind of bones. Let me read it to you..."

"The Buddha bone robe is often a sacred artifact that can only be used by great monks and practitioners who vowed before their death to use their bones for spiritual practice after their death."

"Due to the incredible amount of work involved in making it, the Buddhist bone vestments that have existed in history are extremely rare. Among the many emperors of the Qing Dynasty, only Emperor Qianlong had one."

"By the way, there is a story behind this thing. It is said that one day a long time ago, Venerable Mira missed home."

"But when he returned home, his mother had starved to death for a long time, and only bones were left. Venerable Mila picked up his mother's bones, returned to the place of practice, and carved his mother's dry bones into robes with a knife, one knife at a time, thousands of knives, and thousands of knives. He wore them on his body as if his mother was always taking care of him..."

"Is this Venerable Mila crazy?" After hearing this story, Li Zi frowned and sat up straight.

She now personally experienced what Zhang Yang meant when he said that "Tantric Buddhism leads to evil nature".

It's no exaggeration to say that he's completely mentally ill.

It is clear what this thing is. In Zhang Yang's words:
I guess some devout Tantric believer really believed the story about the mental illness, and then made a robe with the bones of his own kind according to the story.

It is called a vestment, but in fact it is just a lot of bone pieces strung together with ropes, a bit like a full-body vestment chain.

"Who would buy this thing?" Li Zi muttered with a frown.

As soon as she finished speaking, the lady in front of her raised her hand and made a bid:
"I'll offer 5! Don't compete with me, I really believe in Buddhism!" (End of this chapter)
