Chapter 804 Knelt Part 2
However, it was too late to carefully observe and digest the preciousness of the Agarwood itself, and they were attracted by the shape of the carving itself. They saw that this is a statue of a Bodhisattva, with three faces and four arms.
The upper right hand is in the shape of a fist, the lower right hand is supporting the abdomen, the lower left hand is in front of the chest in a mudra position while the upper left hand is in front of the mouth, and the mouth is biting its fingers.
The eyes of the Bodhisattva were like bells, the fangs in his mouth were stood up, his angry hair was like a flame as they spread in every direction behind him, and his anger was inexhaustible.
Looking at this Buddha statue, everyone felt a tremor in their hearts, it was as if they were being glared at by a real Bodhisattva.
But then, they felt a sense of peace of mind and they felt as if they were under the protection of such a Bodhisattva then all the demons and ghosts would have to retreat, and they would have nothing to be afraid of.
The crowd looked dumbfounded and the scene was dead silent. After a while, Zhou Hongyuan, Xiao Zhi, and another monk who were in a sluggish state suddenly thumped in front of the Buddha statue and knelt with pious expressions on their faces.
Shi Qing, Zhou Tianru, and Sun Yuheng also looked sluggish and shocked. They never thought that a Buddha statue could bring such a feeling. They felt as if they were standing in front of a real legend Buddha.
“What… What kind of Bodhisattva is this?” After a long silence, Zhou Tianru couldn’t help but ask.
“This is Acala (Fudō Myō-ō).” Zhou Hongyuan spoke while looking at the Buddha statue with a pious expression on his face. He had already seen a Buddhist Sacred Relic in Su Jing’s house, which was the dark gold stone tea tray.
In comparison, this Buddha sculpture is leagues ahead of it, he can even say that the dark gold stone tea tray set is inferior compared to this Buddha statue.
Of course, the effect both of the Buddha Relics have is not the same, the dark gold stone tea tray makes people calm down and takes away their worries. While this Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Buddha Statue makes people feel firm and fearless.
“This treasure is so good!” Sun Yuheng came back to his senses and he exclaimed with a surprised and delighted expression on his face.
He felt that this Buddha sculpture was too artistic and it was even better than the Buddhist scripture Buddha Statue on that piece of paper.
Moreover, the Buddha Sculpture itself is generally more precious than the Buddha Statue painted on a piece of paper. The old man likes Buddhism, and he will definitely like this gift very much.
“No, no, this Buddha Sculpture cannot be sold. It would be blasphemy against the Buddha if you do that.” Zhou Hongyuan immediately objected after hearing Sun Yuheng’s words.
“You are already borrowing the Prajñā Meditation Sutra, and now you want to grab this Buddha Sculpture? Do you think I’m that easy to bully?” Sun Yuheng spoke in an angry tone after hearing Zhou Hongyuan’s objection.
He wasn’t afraid of Zhou Hongyuan as the Zhou Family is not his opponent at all.
“I didn’t say I would take this Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) away, I don’t have the guts, but you shouldn’t take it away either.” Zhou Hongyuan said.
“If you don’t have the guts then stop speaking, this has nothing to do with you.” Sun Yuheng said.
All was well a moment ago, and then suddenly they quarreled again. But no one said anything to them as they understood where they were coming from. It would be difficult to calm down for anyone after they see this Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) statue.
Even Wang Siya and Zhou Tianru, who had come here without any intention to buy the Buddha Statue Buddha Scripture felt like taking away this Buddha Sculpture home.
“Don’t argue about it.” Zhou Tianru suddenly interrupted their quarrel and asked Sun Yuheng, “Mr. Sun, Mr. Su is willing to sell this Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Bodhisattva but even if my dad doesn’t stop you, can you afford the price?”
Sun Yuheng was stunned for a while and then his expression changed slightly. Zhou Tianru’s question was shocking and something that he hadn’t considered before.
If the price is about 100 Million Yuan then he can afford it, any higher will be more hurtful even with his finances, after all, he is just buying it so he can gift it to someone so he has a spending limit.
And this Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Bodhisattva will not get sold for 100 Million Yuan, he wouldn’t even dare to say this price out loud. No matter how thick-skinned Sun Yuheng was, he couldn’t open his mouth.
Regardless of the unspeakable artistic conception of the Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Bodhisattva itself, such a huge High-Grade Agarwood Aquilaria ornament cannot be won by 100 Million Yuan.
A few years ago, there was an Agarwood carved immortal mountain pavilion inlaid with Western mirrors screen and it was auctioned with a starting price of 5.2 Million Yuan at Poly Spring Auction in Beijing, and finally sold for 20.7 Million Yuan.
Compared to that screen, this two-meter-high Acala(Fudō Myō-ō) statue is infinitely rare and at least several times more expensive.
If the artistic conception of the Acala (Fudō Myō-ō) Bodhisattva itself is counted, then it is even more incredible. It is a priceless treasure, there is no question about that.
No one knows how high it would get sold for if t is put in an Auction. As for 100 Million Yuan, that amount of money would only get a single leg of this Buddha Sculpture at most.
The more Sun Yuheng thought about it, the more unsightly his face became. It was like when he was very hungry, there was a bowl of fragrant beef noodles in front of him, but he couldn’t eat it. This kind of feeling was very uncomfortable.
This is a rare second treasure and it was so perfect and so suitable, but he didn’t expect to be stumped because of the price.
‘Su Jing, you said you could take out a Buddha carving but why is it so huge, so artistic, and made from High-Grade Agarwood Aquilaria? Would it kill you if you take out a treasure of a lower grade?.’ Sun Yuheng silently thought in his heart.
