Chapter 494: Divine Bowl

Teacher Bai was well-informed, and immediately shouted: "I remember, he is Li Tong, a famous collector in Xinjiang, who believes in Buddhism extremely, let alone at home, even if he goes out, he is dressed as a monk, and he is extremely different." ”

"I remember it too!"

"It's him! I've met him once! But he wasn't so completely obsessed at the time, and now he's bald, and he still has a precept!"

Director Huang and Elder Xiao both said that they remembered him as a person.

Zhou You was puzzled and asked: "He is from Xinjiang, he should be a lama, and the surname is a bit weird!"

Teacher Bai replied with a smile: "He is indeed a Uyghur from Xinjiang, but his ancestors were given the surname Li, and the family that has been inherited for thousands of years has continued to him now, and he is the only one left." Because he has a strong Han blood, he is extremely yearning for the Central Plains culture, and it is said that he is also a registered disciple of a Buddhist master. If it weren't for the fact that his identity was a bit special and there were too many people involved, he would have added it a long time ago. ”

Director Huang said: "He is the kind of successful person who has a Buddha in his heart. ”

Zhou You thought that Li Tong was the kind of special monk who "drank and flesh through the intestines, and the Buddha left it in his heart", but now it seems. It's not that he doesn't want to become a monk, it's that he can't become a monk.

Xiao Lao sighed: "No way, his cultivation of ancient literature, especially Buddhism, is extremely profound, and it is difficult for us to memorize it at all." If it weren't for the fact that his family did not have a suitable heir, there were still nearly 10,000 people who ate with him, so he could not reach the realm of being a Buddha both physically and mentally, and could only stay in the world to practice Buddhism. ”

"Strange people. ”

Zhou You really can't think of any adjectives to describe Li Tong.

Teacher Bai said: "He is indeed a strange person. ”

While!

After Li Tong came to the field, he knocked on the Buddha bowl again.

However, the impact of this time is not as good as the last time, and Zhou You has not appeared in the mysterious realm of the last time, at least the mood is more and more calm.

At first glance, Li Tong's age seems to be slightly older than Brother Guang, Cheng Feihu, Xu Hao and others, but in fact he is forty-five years old.

I have to say, he has a knack for rejuvenation.

Li Tong is not a real monk after all, so he is not as taciturn as he imagined. When he came to the stage, he ignored Park Zhixuan's guarded eyes, and said calmly: "Ladies and gentlemen, this Buddha bowl was given by the family teacher to the poor monks for meditation practice, and it is said to have a history of more than 1,000 years. It's a pity that the poor monk is only a shallow learner, and he has never been able to study which era the Buddha bowl is? From which monk's handwriting? So this time I took the liberty to come here in order to solve this mystery that haunted my heart. ”

Everyone stepped forward.

Park Zhixuan, who thought he could be in the limelight, looked at Li Tong hatefully, but he couldn't stop it. Now everyone has forgotten about his stone carving, and is completely attracted by Li Tong's Buddha bowl with divine energy, and no one pays attention to Park Zhixuan anymore.

But even if Park Zhixuan is no longer angry, he is attracted to this magical Buddha bowl. He bore the brunt of it just now, and his heart trembled, and he was in a state of trance for more than ten seconds, and when he came to his senses, Li Tong was already in front of him.

is such a treasure, Park Zhixuan also has a heart of possession.

"It's the first time I've seen such a magical treasure!"

"Yes, the clarity just now actually calmed my restless state of mind instantly. Such a magical tone, I am afraid that only legendary items can be compared. ”

"It's incredible! It's amazing, what the hell was going on just now? Why was everyone silent and speechless? Is this the legendary Brahman?

"This is the real national treasure, and other things are simply dead things compared to this thing, how can they have magical power like it, just like the pure world Sanskrit sound cleans the dirt of the world. I finally understand why Li Tong wants to practice Buddhism now, and I now have the heart of retreat. ”

Everyone's topic completely revolved around the magical Buddha bowl, where is there still the heart to take care of Park Jixuan's mood. It's just that their discussion like this has no practical meaning at all, and they can't fulfill Li Tong's wish at all.

Mr. Bai took the lead in walking to the front desk to make the first comment: "This bowl is made of golden light, giving people a feeling of being extraordinary. It's definitely not an ordinary work, and with the previous tone, I'm afraid the origin is deeper than we estimated. ”

Ming Lao wondered: "It's strange, the luster of the bowl body is a bit similar to the legendary Xuande furnace!"

Curator Huang looked at it himself, and sure enough, as Ming Lao said, he also sighed: "That's right, the forging process of this bowl is the same as that of the Xuande furnace, and it is also a refining method." ”

Xiao Lao also sighed: "The furnace quality is particularly delicate, dark purple, like baby skin, even a master can't forge such a wonderful Buddha bowl." ”

He Lao also came over and commented: "This is still baptized after countless years, if it was at the beginning, it can be seen how atmospheric it is, and it is definitely full of treasure." ”

The seniors in the antique collecting industry present all felt that this thing was not ordinary, but they couldn't see the specific origin for a while, and only felt that it had a little connection with the Xuande furnace.

Zhou You also finished observing and began to express his opinion: "The method of refining appeared a long time ago, but the most famous one is still from the Xuande furnace, so everyone's thinking is instinctively inclined to the Ming Dynasty. In fact, although this bowl is unpretentious, its shape is exactly the same as that of the court vessels of the Sui and Tang dynasties. ”

Teacher Bai nodded and said, "We also know that its shape is a very popular shape in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but every world has the habit of imitating antiques from previous dynasties, so we just talk about it, and we don't dare to speculate." ”

Director Huang also pointed out a problem: "Also, there are two special places in this Buddha bowl. First of all, it has a strange base, a fox, and secondly, its bowl pattern looks like a mountain at first glance, and there is a faint dialogue between an old man and a young in it. To be honest, if this kind of forging process is put in place now, it may be reasonable, but it is really unacceptable to say that there was such an ingenious forging technique thousands of years ago. ”

"It's like a mountain!"

"Miraculously, there are indeed two figures at the lower end of the bowl. ”

"One seems to be a little hunchbacked, indicating an old man, and the other is sitting cross-legged, probably a monk. ”

"It's magical, it turns out that the lines can also be condensed into such a magical picture scroll! This kind of forging process is many times stronger than the bronze I saw before!"

Everyone's conversation quickly followed Director Huang's prompts.

The bottom is a fox, everyone has seen it for a long time, but I really can't think of what the origin is. However, the picture scroll formed by the bowl pattern allows everyone to see the magical charm of ancient culture.

Zhou You whispered that he would come out: "Maybe I know whose Buddha bowl it is?"

He had already noticed these two strange places, but he had always wondered: the fox and the picture scroll were definitely deliberate, but it was really strange that it took so much effort to carve them out without directly mentioning the author and owner.

It wasn't until Xiao Lao said that there were two characters in the bowl pattern in the picture scroll, one was an old man and the other was a monk, and Zhou You finally remembered a mythical story that not many people knew.

Li Tong immediately came to Zhou You and humbly asked: "Please show mercy to Lord Zhou and solve this puzzle that has been entangled for more than ten years for the poor monk." ”

Zhou You couldn't imagine that Li Tong would say such serious words, and hurriedly replied: "I remembered a story, so I vaguely guessed." ”

"Please ask Master Zhou to solve your doubts!"

"Xiaoyou, don't sell it, say it quickly!"

Everyone immediately lifted their spirits.

Zhou You organized a little and told the mythical story he read by chance: "In the Tang Dynasty, there was a great monk who was a great monk every time he came to the hall to preach the law, there was an old man who listened to the lecture among the monks. One day, after the great monk finished speaking, all the monks also dispersed, but only this old man stayed in the meditation room and refused to leave. The great virtuous monk approached and asked, 'Do you have any advice from the old benefactor?' The old man replied, 'I am not an ordinary person, I am the incarnation of a wild fox!'"

When everyone heard this, they vaguely guessed, and Li Tong's eyes were even brighter.

Zhou You said while organizing: "The incarnation of the wild fox is originally a cultivator, but he believes that if he cultivates to a certain level, he can become a long-lived immortal without life and death, and will not fall into the cycle of cause and effect. But he was wrong, he was locked up by a demon fox of the Wild Fox Country, turned into one of them, and lived a dark life, and he could not be detached until that day. So, the Wild Fox incarnate asked, 'What was wrong with me?' Please ask the master for your advice, and the disciple is grateful!' and the great monk replied, 'It's not that he doesn't fall into the cycle of cause and effect, but that he doesn't fall into the cycle of cause and effect! It is that he is in the cycle of cause and effect, but he is not fooled by the cycle of cause and effect. So. Is the Holy One falling into cause and effect, but not ignorant of cause and effect!' The Wild Fox incarnate still did not understand, and asked with a suspicious face, 'Couldn't the Holy One transcend the cycle of birth and death, and why did he still get sick and die?' The great virtuous monk replied, 'This is the reason why the saint is a saint!' Take the Buddha as an example, he could have escaped into the mountains to meditate and entertain himself, and he could have ascended to heaven to enjoy pure happiness, but he refused. In order to broaden the sentient beings in the cycle of birth and death, he would rather endure the torment of illness and life and death, and stay in the world to share weal and woe with us. When the wild fox incarnate heard this, a trace of red light appeared on his thin face, and he knelt down, and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you for the master's enlightenment, so that the disciple can be separated from the wild fox from now on." At sunrise tomorrow morning, the disciple degenerated, and begged the master to collect the disciple's body and bury it with the ritual of the monk's death. After saying that, he disappeared under an ancient pine tree behind the temple. The next day, the great monk summoned the Zen monks of the whole temple to come to the ancient pine, and sure enough, he saw a wild fox that had just died lying on the ground. The great virtuous monk ordered the monks to bury him under the ancient pine with the rite of the monk's death, and later asked someone to erect a stone tablet, which reads: The tomb of the fox fairy!"

"Zen Master Huaihai!"
