Volume 2 Chapter 218 A family unfit to be an emperor

Since Xiao Liuzi said that it wants to find a way, then Du Lin can only believe in it, although pinning his hopes on a monkey, no matter how he thinks about it, it is a little unreliable, but what can he do now?

With nothing to do anyway, Durin decided to see what was in this legendary treasure.

The treasure house is not big or small, there are more than 30 square meters, and every one or two meters there is a row of boxes of different sizes, because of the age, some of the boxes have decayed, Du Lin kicked lightly and scattered, and the belongings in it were scattered all over the ground.

There is a separate offering table in the innermost position, and two statues are placed on the left and right on the altar, which are the two Arhats missing from the altar above - the Dragon Descending Arhat and the Tiger Arhat.

Two arhats, one with slightly squinting eyes, sitting on top of auspicious clouds, holding a bowl in his hand, stepping on an evil dragon at his feet, and the other with angry eyes, sitting on a tiger, grabbing the tiger's neck with one hand, and raising it high with the other hand to fight.

The two statues are lifelike, like living creatures, even if Du Lin does not know much about art appreciation, he can see that these two statues are obviously several grades higher than the sixteen other Arhat statues above, if the sixteen are the craftsmanship of craftsmen, then these two are from the hands of masters.

Underneath the offering table is a small stone platform on which an old wooden box rests.

Du Lin recognized at a glance that this wooden box was the one left by his master Zhang Jinghe to Zhu Yunwen back then.

At that time, there was a set of robes, a string of Buddhist beads, a degree of mu, a razor, a map, and a set of fire sickles, Du Lin used a razor to shave Zhu Yunwen's hair, and used the robe, Buddha beads and Du Mu to dress him up as a monk, and used the map to find the secret passage in the palace, and used the fire sickle to light the fire, and burned his dormitory.

Durin opened the wooden box, and it was still the same six things, but the robe was torn, the beads were scattered, the dome was old, the razor was rusty, the map was dirty, and the fire sickle was smaller.

In addition to these six things, there was also a paper bag sealed with a large piece of wax, which Durin crushed and took out the paper bag inside, and when it was opened, it was a yellow silk cloth with a letter to him embroidered with red silk thread.

The real benefactor Taijian, Jianwen said goodbye for four years, and he never had the opportunity to see the fairy face, which is a pity.

I don't know the name of the benefactor, but I can only be commensurate with the benefactor, don't blame.

Yu Gou Anjia has been in the capital for more than 30 years, many overseas remnants are concerned about the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty, and have donated money to help me restore the country.

I had to divide the silver money and treasure into two parts, one for the children and grandchildren, hoping that he would inherit the will and restore the orthodoxy of the emperor's grandfather, and the other part was stored here, and handed over to the children and grandchildren a portrait of the benefactor, and the descendants found the benefactor's fairy trace, and handed over the mundane things that did not enter the benefactor's eyes to the benefactor for disposal.

Another: Comes with a pair of dragons and tiger arhats made by hand, which can be used in the town house at home.

On the eighth day of the ninth month of the thirty-seventh year of Jianwen

Zhu Yunwen

(This is an unwritten thing, I hope you can understand it, if there is a mistake, please leave a message in the circle)

Du Lin picked up the pair of exquisite Arhat statues again, and the more he looked at them, the more he felt that this statue was definitely a rare work of art in the world, and he couldn't help but think of one thing in his heart:

It seems that most of Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants are not the material to be emperors. However, they are all talents in other industries, and they also respond to what Du Lin said, "Poor people were born in the emperor's family".

Take Zhu Yunwen's nephew, that is, Zhu Di's great-grandson Zhu Qizhen (temple name Yingzong) as an example, after becoming the emperor, he didn't like to govern the country, he liked to fight, and he made himself a general or something if he had nothing to do.

When Du Lin was studying Western medicine in medical school a few years ago, he suddenly remembered Zhu Qizhen's seemingly absurd behavior, like him, one will be a general, the other will be an emperor, and when he is a general, he will ask for credit and reward from himself as an emperor, probably because he is a schizophrenic with a dual personality......

Duhrin had written an essay as the final thesis of his mental medicine course, entitled "On the Possibility of Hereditary Mental or Mental Illness in the Emperors of the Ming Dynasty."

In his paper, he proposed that Zhu Zhanji, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, regarded fighting crickets as his greatest hobby in life, ignoring the government and politics, and even the ministers did not want to see him, which may be a psychological rejection of being an emperor, and it may be a mild autism.

Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen is obsessed with the art of the room, determined to live forever, and is enthusiastic about cultivating pills, which should be due to the congenital low function of 'xing, resulting in an extreme sense of inferiority, and instead wants to realize his own value through the illusory thing of cultivating immortals.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse is obsessed with making furniture and studying carpenter work every day, this person is the same disease as Ming Xuanzong who fights crickets, both are autistic. However, he may be a little sicker, because people with autism tend to achieve a lot in art, and the more severe the symptoms, the greater the achievement, such as Monet and Van Gogh.

It is said that a set of screens made by Zhu Youxiao can be sold for 10,000 taels of silver in the capital, and the premise is that the buyer does not know that it is made by the emperor himself, which shows that Zhu Youxiao has reached the peak level in the production of wooden utensils, and can already be called a generation of grandmasters.

Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houxi is more special, the first few are "don't want to be the emperor", and the Jiajing Emperor is "disdain to be the emperor", he reigned for forty-five years, the first 20 years to govern the country in an orderly manner, known as "Jiajing Zhongxing", but he is too smart, he really doesn't want to waste time on "being the emperor" such a pediatric thing, so in the later period of his reign, he did not go to court for more than 20 years, and he devoted himself to cultivating and refining pills, fantasizing about being able to set foot in the fairy world and live forever, which is also a manifestation of paranoia.

Judging from these two Arhat statues, this Zhu Yunwen's talent in making Buddha statues is far greater than that of being an emperor.

It can be seen from his letter to Dühring that he actually believed that Dührin could live forever and be an immortal! Because the tone of the letter was obviously addressed to the "benefactor" himself, not to the benefactor's descendants.

Although Durin can really not grow old and die, what normal person would believe such a thing?

It shows that Zhu Yunwen is not very normal, and he may also be a delusional patient......

In any case, since the master said in the letter that these treasures were for his benefactor, then Dührin should not be polite, let's see what they have first.

In the first row, there are ten boxes of silver ingots, one box is about 50 catties; in the second row, there are ten boxes of gold bars, and one box is about 50 catties; in the third row, there are five large boxes of calligraphy and paintings, the value is unknown, but it can enter Zhu Yunwen's eyes, it is estimated that it will not be ordinary, and it is estimated that it is worth more than the 20 boxes of gold and silver just now; in the fourth row, there are ten boxes of various utensils, which are miscellaneous, including gold and silver jewelry, pearls and gemstones, jade, and porcelain and lacquerware; the fifth row, this is amazing, it is actually a set of Sanskrit versions of the "Amitabha Sutra" , and a set of Chinese translations translated and written by Zhu Yunwen himself!

The first four things still have a value, and the last one is simply a priceless treasure! The "Amitabha Sutra", also known as the "Little Amitayus Sutra", has been translated twice by the famous translators Kumarosh and Master Xuanzang in history, but later generations have found that there are many great differences between the two translations through comparison, which has also caused many controversies in the Chinese Buddhist circles.

If we can bring back to China the original version of Sanskrit and the translation of Zhu Yunwen, who has lived here for more than 30 years and has a deeper understanding of Sanskrit, the controversy in the Chinese Buddhist academic circles for thousands of years will be eliminated, and it will also set off a new upsurge of understanding the "Amitabha Sutra" in the Buddhist academic circles!

As soon as the "Amitabha Sutra" was put away, there was movement in the vent of the treasure house again.

Xiao Liuzi swooped, jumped out of the vent, pulled the corner of Du Lin's clothes and stepped back.

Just a few steps back, I saw a large piece of earth and rocks about a meter around the vent suddenly falling, and dozens of ...... fell with it Pangolin?
