Chapter 326: Buddha Shrine
Yu Yao smiled at this time, "This kind of thing, no one can be calm. ”
Xiao Ying nodded, "Let's talk about the handling of things first." This nebula mirror was originally a thing to ward off evil spirits, but in this room, there was a change, I suggest, you can hang it on the lintel outside the door of the collection room. As for these four terracotta figurines······"
Lin Shaocong saw Xiao Ying groaning, so he said, "Master Xiao, although things have some value, but if such a thing is born, it can also be cut off and abandoned." ”
"That's not necessary, it's just that within a year, I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy it. You make four cast-iron boxes, seal them separately, and put a small piece of crystal in each of them. After a year, take it out and feel free to do so. Iron is evil gold, and the radiation of crystals can interfere with its inherent breath, so that the problem can be solved. ”
"What about me?"
"When you had a headache just now, I had used the spell technique to expel most of the evil qi in your body, and at the same time formed a trend of evil qi extension. As for the rest, you go to find a piece of turquoise that you can take advantage of, and you can also put it in pieces, as long as the material is pure, and after a month, it will be solved. ”
"It's easy. It's just that Master Xiao hasn't said anything about this turquoise, how to use it?"
"Coil!"
"Ugh. Lin Shaocong was speechless for a while, but a cross talk joke involuntarily popped up in his mind: pimples, numbness, not mellow at all - coil it!
Xiao Ying looked at him and explained briefly, "Three or five hours a day is enough." Jade is psychic, turquoise has strong adsorption, and has the attributes of green wood, which is very suitable. ”
"It's that simple?"
"It's easy to say it, but it's hard to say it!"
"Yes. What Master Xiao pointed out must be a simple and easy way to get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"The nebula mirror can now hang the lintel, four terracotta figurines, and put them in their original positions for the time being. After Xiao Ying finished speaking, he paused slightly, "Xiao Shao, by the way, you can enjoy your collection, okay?"
"What did Master Xiao say? You can look at it casually, and I'll deal with it first. ”
Yu Yao thought to himself that Xiao Ying's interest in antiques was far less than his own, which could be regarded as thinking too much for himself.
Lin Shaocong put the four terracotta figurines back in place first, and then took the nebula mirror out of the collection room, found someone to explain, and immediately returned to the collection room and closed the door.
Lin Shaocong's collection has no mainland goods, and even if the market value of some things is not very high, they are all exquisite or distinctive.
However, in this case, Yu Yao was not easy to look at, so he took a look at it casually.
I wanted to "solve it quickly", but there was something that Yu Yao couldn't help but take a closer look.
This is a red sandalwood Buddhist shrine, about 60 centimeters high and more than 30 centimeters wide. However, there is no Buddha statue inside.
The main body of this shrine is rectangular, but the top is ruyi-shaped, and the sides are carved with auspicious cloud ornaments. From the point of view of craftsmanship, whether it is the whole or the details, it can be called first-class, and it should be the work of the court in the early Qing Dynasty.
However, it is not this that attracts Yu Yao, but the relief on the inner wall of the Buddhist shrine.
It seems that it should be a mountain temple, but I can't see where it is, and I can only judge from the style of the temple that it should be a Zen temple in China.
The reason why Yu Yao was attracted was because Yu Yao always felt that he had seen this pattern somewhere! But this pattern does not look like a famous mountain treasure temple that can be counted.
"Presumably Mr. Yu has also studied the Buddhist shrine?" Lin Shaocong stepped forward.
"This is a court thing in the early Qing Dynasty. Yu Yao replied casually.
Lin Shaocong patted his palm, "A master is a master!" This is the Buddhist shrine that Emperor Shunzhi once used, and it is also what I got from Hong Kong Island. It is said that it was originally a white jade Buddha inside, but its whereabouts have long been unknown. ”
Yu Yao nodded, in terms of age and pattern, this is believable. Emperor Shunzhi believed in Zen Buddhism, which was different from his great-grandson Qianlong's belief in Tantric Tibetan Buddhism.
Moreover, because there are too few accounts of Shunzhi's death in the official history, there is only one sentence: Ding Si, night, Zi Ke, collapsed in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart. Therefore, there are many rumors about Shunzhi not actually dying, but becoming a monk.
It is difficult to say for sure that he was a monk, but he firmly believed that there are some historical records of Zen Buddhism.
In the sixteenth year of Shunzhi, Yulin Tongxiu, a Zen monk of Huzhou Bao'en Temple, entered Beijing, met Shunzhi face-to-face, and treated him with the head of the Zen sect. Xingsen, a disciple of Yulin Tongxiu, also met Shunzhi. The statement of the Shunzhi Law called "Idiot" is basically based on this, but it cannot be further verified.
In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, Shunzhi's favorite concubine Dong E died of illness, and in the grief of Shunzhi, the idea of escaping into the empty door was opposed, and the Empress Dowager of Xiaozhuang and the important ministers opposed it, and Yulin Tongxiu Zen Master also dissuaded him in person, so he did not make the trip.
Soon after, in the first month of the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, he died. Many scholars now believe that the term is "pox", that is, died of smallpox.
"Where is this relief pattern?"
"It is said to be based on the Bao'en Temple in Huzhou in the Qing Dynasty, but it has also been artistic, and the Bao'en Temple in the Qing Dynasty is now gone. Lin Shaocong shook his head, "The most regrettable thing is that this Buddha shrine is still missing something! Originally, it was equipped with a silk niche curtain, and the pattern was the same as the inner wall, but it couldn't be found!"
This sentence made Yu Yao think about it all of a sudden!
The piece of silk that I got my hands on was more than half a meter long and more than a foot wide, didn't it match the Buddhist shrine? At that time, I thought it was strange, this piece of silk was not big or small, what was it used for?
Later, I thought of the Buddhist shrine, and Pu Jie also joked, saying that it was very powerful after Concubine Xi became the queen mother.
It's just that the silk is a little dirty, and it can only be seen faintly, and it should be similar to the content of the Xianshan Cave Mansion, so I saw the relief pattern on the inner wall of the Buddha shrine just now, and I feel as if I have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember the specifics!
This piece of silk has never been cleaned by a master, and Yu Yao has a lot of things to do later, so he put it down for a while.
Unexpectedly, today here in Lin Shaocong, he can probably match the number!
Of course, the silk has not been washed out, and it is still inconclusive, but the possibility is not small, because although it is dirty, some content can still be seen.
"Mr. Yu?" Lin Shaocong saw that Yu Yao was a little stunned, and couldn't help but ask softly.
Yu Yao came back to his senses, "Shao Shao, can you find a master who cleans the silk?"
Lin Shaocong frowned, and then asked, "Mr. Yu, this silk niche curtain won't be in your hand, will it?"
"I just said it was possible, but I haven't been able to find a master who can clean the silk. Yu Yao thought to himself, if these two things are really a set, then it is best to combine them into one.
In this way, either he buys Lin Shaocong's Buddhist shrine, or Lin Shaocong buys his silk. Or, if neither of them wants to part with each other, then after cleaning, it is also good to enjoy a complete set of Buddhist shrines together for the time being.
Lin Shaocong thought for a moment, "This is no problem. Then wash it out first, and then talk about the future?"
