Chapter 372: World Famous Diamonds
……
"By the way, what's going on with those four caves down the mountain? When did you dig them? Why don't I know?"
"Half a month ago! After the three of us returned from Myanmar, we felt that although the scenery of this Pholin Mountain is good, there are too few Buddhist buildings to attract tourists. So he spent 50 million Huaxia yuan to rent the right to use www.biquge.info the 'daytime' for half a month from Wang Lei for the 'digging worm' construction machinery and the 'blacksmith' construction machinery. "Ben Yin Dao.
"I see!"
Wang Zheng was stunned.
"Digger insect" construction machinery is a good hand at digging holes, a diameter of three or four meters, a length of 100 meters of stone caves, even with the most advanced engineering and technical means to excavate, the time spent should be calculated on a monthly basis. The 'Digging Worm' construction machinery only takes a few minutes to be enough.
"So, those Buddha statues are from the 'blacksmith' robot?"
While nodding his head, Benkong scratched his brain case excitedly, "Boss, don't say it, the 'blacksmith' construction robot is really easy to use." As long as the drawings of the Buddha statue are entered into its central computer, the heat rays on the robot's body are better than any carving knife, and an 8-meter-high stone Buddha statue can be carved in half an hour!"
"It's just too rigid, no one carves the artistic conception of the Buddha statue!" Ben Yin frowned on the side, looking not very satisfied.
"I'm afraid this is also the reason why you have only completed one or two caves, and there is no movement in the back, right?" After nodding, Wang Zheng said.
"Boss, the magic eye is clear!"
Wang Zheng nodded, "What are you going to do with the grottoes in the back, it won't always be like that, right?"
"Of course not, the grotto in the back, I'm going to recruit some real craftsmen from the outside to carve it slowly!" Ben Yin said immediately.
"Slowly carved?" Wang Zheng was stunned.
"Well, Jinguang Temple will definitely exist forever in the future, so we are not in a hurry. ”
"The abbot is right, and there is no shortage of money in Jinguang Temple now!" Motoku echoed.
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!" Wang Zheng said in his heart. If you tolerate them and continue to carve them slowly, these four scenic spots recognized by the Shennong system can be considered completed?
However, looking at the firm expressions of the two, Wang Zheng also felt a toothache. Moreover, he also understands the principle of slow work and meticulous work. In addition, he also thought that the four major caves in Folin Mountain were real treasures of religious art, and they were only stone statues that were processed in a short period of time and had no artistic atmosphere.
"Forget it, it's all unplanned anyway, so let them be!" Wang Zheng said in his heart.
……
"By the way, I remember, just now you said that you spent 50 million yuan to rent equipment from Wang Lei, where did you get so much money?" After letting go of the entanglement in his heart about the construction of the scenic spot, he remembered another question that made him curious.
"We all saved it when we were in Myanmar and Thailand. You don't know that there is so much money in the temples of those countries in Southeast Asia. Buddhist temples and stupas are covered with gold leaf! Especially the big pagoda, which has dozens of tons of gold on it. If the abbot hadn't stopped me, I would have taken them all back and given them to the boss as a gift!"
Looking at the sworn emptiness, Wang Zheng sweated violently in his heart. This lawless guy, fortunately, didn't do it at the beginning, otherwise he would have gotten into big trouble again!
Originally, Wang Zheng wanted to explain this guy and let him pay attention to it in the future. But thinking that now that he had returned to Jinguang Temple, there would not be many opportunities to go out in the future, and he would not cause any big trouble, so he did not speak.
However, Wang Zheng didn't know at this time, just because of his negligence at this time, Benkong poked a big hole later.
"Since you have your own money, I won't say more. I don't interfere with how you plan to build the Folin Mountain Resort, as long as it is managed well, it can enhance the popularity of the villa. …… Also, last time I remember you said you brought me a treasure, what kind of treasure is it, take it out and show me?"
"Boss, wait a minute, I'll get it!"
The proactive Benkong did not take orders, and had already 'pedaled' and ran upstairs.
At this time, Benchu walked in from outside.
"Boss, according to your orders, everything is arranged!"
"That's good!"
Wang Zheng nodded, "Come, let's eat together!"
Ben Chu, who was already not full, did not refuse.
Wang Zheng's amount of food is not as good as Benchu and Benkong, which will already be almost eaten. After swallowing the rice and stuffing a few pieces of mutton into his mouth, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, washed his hands in the basin next to him, dried them with a towel, and went to the living room, just waiting for Benkong to take down his treasure.
"Kick ......!"
As soon as Wang Zheng arrived in the living room and sat down, there was a sound of hurried and heavy footsteps upstairs.
When he turned his head, he saw Ben Yin walking down with a red wooden box. Wang Zheng couldn't tell the wood of the red box, but the ornamentation on it was clearly not in Chinese style. In addition, it can be seen from its faintly antique and mottled appearance that the box has been around for many years.
Ben Yin walked up to Wang Zheng, put a red box about the size of two blue bricks side by side on the table, and quickly opened it. I saw two golden boxes the size of adult palms and about ten centimeters high on a red soft lining appear in front of his eyes.
Ben Yin took out the gold box on the left and handed it to Wang Zheng.
"Boss, this is our gift to you!"
Wang Zheng nodded, took the golden box and looked at it curiously.
On the front and on both sides of the box, the walls are embossed with the heads of three lions, which vividly reveal a solemn majesty. At the corners of the box, there are oval leaves woven into a pattern, which is very beautiful.
After opening the box, Wang Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw that under a soft red background, a beautiful stone shaped like a rose, white and flawless, almost transparent, appeared in front of me.
"This is...... Diamonds?" Wang Zheng said in surprise.
"When we found it, we also found a written record. So we know that the name of this diamond is 'Great Mughal Diamond'!"
Ben Yin, who came over at some point, took out a piece of brown parchment from the bottom of the red box.
"Big Mughal diamonds?!"
Wang Zheng showed a hint of surprise on his face.
Diamonds are full of mystery, romance, and reverie. Historically, members of the royal family of various countries have vied to set precious diamonds on crowns and scepters to symbolize supreme authority and wealth. The first country in the world to discover and mine diamonds was India, which has a long history of diamonds, and it can be said that many of the most unparalleled historical diamonds came from India.
The Great Mughal Diamond, discovered in India, was the largest known diamond found in the world at the time. The rough stone weighs 787 carats, and after being processed into a rosette shape, it weighs 280 carats. It's about the size of an egg, and it's like half an egg.
And the name 'Great Mughal Diamond' is not unfamiliar to Wang Zheng.
Of all the diamonds that have been born in history, the 'Great Mughal Diamond' is the fourth. It is second only to the Star of Africa, the world's largest diamond set in the Queen's scepter, the Koh-i-Noor, a diamond set in the Queen's crown, and the Ixatheau, which is still the second largest diamond in the world!
Of course, the reason why Wang Zheng is familiar with this name is not the huge value of the 'Great Mughal Diamond' itself, but that it once had a connection with the 'Night Pearl' in the mouth of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Of course, now these two things are in Wang Zheng's hands, so many speculations are not speculations.
At the same time, Wang Zheng also solved another mystery, there is no connection between the 'Great Mughal Diamond' and the 'Koh-i-Noor' and 'Orlov Diamond' except that they are all from India.
After being stunned for a while, Wang Zheng hurriedly took the parchment in his empty hand, but unfortunately in addition to his native language, he could only speak some half-baked English, and he couldn't understand the ghost-like things on it at all.
"What is this word?"
"Burmese!"
Burmese?...... Then you also found this diamond in Burma?" Wang Zheng said in surprise.
"Hmm!" Ben Yin nodded, "The place where this diamond was first found was in the pagoda on the 'Golden Stone', a Buddhist shrine in Dana Salin, Mon State, Myanmar!"
"What is the Golden Stone?"
For Myanmar, in addition to knowing that there is a valuable jadeite, the people believe in Buddhism, the capital is sunshine, and there is a very famous scenic spot called 'Shwedagon Pagoda', Wang Zheng, who knows almost nothing, does not know the name of 'Shwedagon Stone'.
But fortunately, this is an era of advanced online consulting.
'Ask Google if you don't decide on foreign affairs, ask Baidu if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Tianya if you don't decide about sexual affairs', Wang Zheng is still clear about this Internet buzzword. But now Google can't go up. There is no need for a mobile phone, and the global communication terminal on Wang Zheng's left wrist is faster than any computer.
In just a few seconds, Wang Zheng found the news he wanted.
Dajin Stone is a famous Buddhist pilgrimage site in Myanmar, located near the seaside town of Jaitto in Monbang Tanah Sarin, it is a huge rock standing on the edge of the cliff, weighing about 611 tons and about 8.15 meters high, standing on the cliff face of the Cheiti Yu Stupa at an altitude of 1,100 meters. Legend has it that the 2,500-year-old Cheeti Yu Stupa has a stone surface covered with gold leaf. There is a 7.3-meter stupa built on the stone, which is said to contain the hair of Lord Buddha.
Some people say that it is the Buddha's hair that is stored in the stupa on the top of the stone, so that the rock can be balanced. The golden stone is absolutely forbidden for women to touch, and they can only look at it from afar. Monks also worship devoutly.
The most amazing thing about the Golden Stone is that it has survived strong storms and rains for hundreds of years, and it still stands on the edge of a steep cliff. It looks like it's about to roll down, but the stupa above it has been standing for hundreds of years. If you look at the stone from the direction of the pagoda, you can clearly see the thin slit between the stone and the cliff wall, and the connection to the cliff wall is only a small part of the gold stone.
Because of its remote location, there are very few foreign tourists here, so its reputation is not very good.
After reading these, looking at the golden gold on the photo, I don't know how much gold was pasted, Wang Zheng not only marveled at how devout the Burmese people are to Buddhism, but also couldn't help but praise the wisdom of the Tibetan and Eastern people.
With the attitude of Myanmar who would rather ruin his family and Buddha, believe in it all his life, and never regret it, absolutely no one here will climb the golden stone to see what is in the pagoda. And those believers who work almost day and night are also the best guards of diamonds.
"How did you get your hands on this?"
After reading the information, Wang Zheng became puzzled. 'Stealing' things in places where Buddhists come and go is not an easy task.
After the three of them glanced at each other, a trace of embarrassment appeared on each other's faces.
In the end, it was Benkong who presided over and said: "At the beginning, the three of us wanted to build the 'Jinguang Temple' at the beginning, and there must be something precious to suppress the temple, so that everyone in the Quartet can know about it, and at the same time, we will not let the jungles in the world look down on us." At first, I didn't want to touch the Golden Stone, but I had no choice but to have the Shwedagon Pagoda, Sulei Pagoda and other places where the Buddha's relics were hidden, all of which were located in the downtown area, and there were many people, so it was really difficult to start. On the contrary, the golden stone is located on the top of the mountain, and although there are guards, it is not difficult to obtain them with their ability. ”
"So, you moved this back?" Wang Zheng felt his brain hurt.
It stands to reason that it was a monk who was replaced from the system in the first place. But other monks eat fasting and chant Buddha, self-cultivation, and stay in the temple very honestly, how can the monks recruited by themselves be so able to do this?
I just robbed the wealth of a warlord in the front, and robbed the 'big gold stone' in the back.
"Don't worry, boss, I don't know how many years this box has been in that tower, and even if we take it, no one will find it. Benkong hurriedly explained.
This sentence finally gave Wang Zheng some comfort, "What is in this box, Buddha relics?"
Wang Zheng pointed to another large gold box with a slap that was still in the red box.
"The boss has no false eyes, this is indeed the 'Buddha Relic'!"
As he spoke, Benkong reached out and took out the gold box. In front of Wang Zheng, the gold box with the front relief of Shakyamuni's enlightenment and the relief of the statue of Vajra Lux holding a sword or an axe on both sides was opened.
Unexpectedly, after the box was opened, it was not the relics that Wang Zheng thought, but another silver box with a relief Guanyin statue and eight heavenly dragons.
The silver box was opened again, and inside was another crystal box embossed with the 'Three Holy Buddhas'. After removing the lid of the crystal box, a reddish-brown thing with an irregular shape and similar in size to a green jujube appeared in front of Wang Zheng's eyes.
Wang Zheng also has some understanding of the famous 'Ashoka Tower', and it is obvious that the triple box in front of him is the 'Ashoka Tower'. It's just that it's not as big or as much as the Ashoka Pagoda in Famen Temple and Bao'en Temple.
