Chapter 413: The Great Treasure of Tibetan Buddhism
PS: Try the three more, don't drop the order and continue, drop, just honestly go back to the two more.
Hearing Bob's introduction that the two young and beautiful girls who were running on the tennis court were his third and fourth daughters, Li Yi suddenly became excited.
But this excitement has nothing to do with beauties, but because of the identities of these two.
These two, according to Inzaghi's introduction, one should be the dream girl of Prince Albert II of Germany, and the other is likely to become the girlfriend of the little prince of Monaco!
Such women, coupled with their backgrounds, are definitely the best of the best, but I didn't expect to encounter such benefits during this visit!
With Bob's shout, the two sisters on the court slowly stopped, simply tidied up their slightly disheveled hair, and the two walked together, walking towards the sidelines with four pairs of slender and beautiful long legs.
However, as the two got closer and closer, Li Yi's face gradually became difficult to look at. Your sister, what is called the mountain does not turn and the water turns, what is called the mountain and the water always meet, this is it! Isn't that blonde who doesn't know if it should be the dream girl of the Prince of Germany or the girlfriend of the Prince of Monaco the same female thief she just met in the police station two days ago?
At the same time that Li Yi saw Triss, Triss also saw the two of them, her first reaction was to want to escape, but oh no, her identity was exposed, and people came to the door!
Her heart trembled for a moment, and she suddenly raised her spirit again, didn't she steal a necklace worth only a few dozen euros from you? Can you just kill the door like this? But. You're good at coming, just in time for old Bob to see because of his neglect. What has become of his once well-behaved and lovely little daughter!
With a tragic but inexplicable twisted psychology of being excited about being able to hurt her father, Triss straightened her body, proudly raised her delicate little head, and walked towards Li Yi in a row.
As soon as Li Yi saw her expression, he knew that she must have misunderstood, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Hitting someone doesn't slap him in the face, he's ready, if this girl pretends not to know him later. He must actively cooperate, so forget it.
"Your magical powers are not small, you actually came directly to my house. Go ahead. What do you want? ”
To Li Yi's surprise, Triss actually put on a posture that was not afraid of things as soon as she came up, not only took the initiative to greet him, but also looked a little provocative!
And Bob on the side was even more surprised, Li Yi actually met her little daughter, and looking at Triss's appearance, there should be a story between the two, this ...... What's going on?
"Miss Triss. I didn't think about it, but since I met it. Then I must thank you solemnly again, although the necklace is not worth much, but you can pick it up and return it to us, I am still deeply impressed by your excellent quality, thank you. ”
Triss's little face, a stunned look flashed, although she was rebellious, she was not a person who didn't know what to do, just because she thought the matter was revealed and was ready to break the jar, I didn't expect Li Yi to be so knowledgeable at this moment, where is there any reason not to cooperate quickly?
"There's no need to thank you, but I also want to remind Mr. Li again, next time you must take care of your things, otherwise, it's nothing to lose a necklace of a few dozen euros, but if you lose other valuables again, you may not be so lucky."
Although he decided to cooperate, for Li Yi's ironic words just now, Triss still unceremoniously immediately retorted.
For Triss, to be honest, Li Yi not only did not have the slightest good impression, but was also a little bored, and when he heard her speak like this at this moment, he didn't even have the interest to deal with it.
Seeing that Triss finished speaking, he nodded slightly, and then turned his gaze to the other girl. Behind him, Hongchen's sharp gaze stunned Triss for a moment, and then blushed slightly in embarrassment.
"Hello Miss Marty, I'm Li Yi, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Marty smiled and held out her right hand,
"Marty. Bob, Mr. Li Yi, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
After a brief hiccup on the court, Earl Bob led Li Yi into his study.
This is a large room, Li Yi estimates, at least more than 150 square meters. Moreover, the layout of the room is also very luxurious, not only is there a carpet with a strong Persian style on the ground, but also on the walls of the four sides of the room, there are more than a dozen tapestries with different patterns of different styles, Li Yi just glanced at it casually, and found that there is actually a huge silk thangka!
Thangka is a transliteration of the Tibetan word for religious scrolls that are framed in colored satin and hung for worship.
Thangkas are a unique form of painting in Tibetan culture, and are divided into two main categories depending on the materials used. One is made of silk and is called "Guotang", and the other is painted with pigments, called "Zhitang".
Thangka is a novel painting art that emerged during the Songtsen Gampo period, and has a history of more than 1,300 years. Because of the religious implications, the drawing requirements are extremely strict and the procedure is very complicated, and it must be carried out in strict accordance with the rituals in the scriptures and the requirements of the guru.
Therefore, it often takes a lot of time to make thangkas, the shortest ones generally take half a year, and the longest ones can even be as long as ten or twenty years!
Although thangkas originated in Tibet, there are almost no early thangkas in Tibet. Most of the earlier thangkas that can be seen in modern times are works from the Northern Song Dynasty onwards.
Li Yi didn't know much about thangkas, and even less about the painting style of Tibetan Buddhism, but he still recognized the preciousness of this thangka at a glance.
Because this thangka is not only a silk work, but judging from the color, it should be at least an old thangka from 500 years ago.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the central government strengthened its rule over Tibet, and as a result, Tibet's socio-economic and cultural development has made great progress, and Tibet's thangka art has also reached a new peak with its development.
At present, the thangkas of the Ming and Qing dynasties have been handed down, and there are many fine products, and each piece is precious.
If this thangka is really a product of 500 years ago, then it should be a fine thangka in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and because it is not only silk, but also has a huge size, such a thing, no matter where it is placed or what nationality, it is definitely an extremely precious treasure!
The length of this thangka is similar to that of a vertical scroll in Chinese painting, its length is nearly two meters, and the width is more than one meter.
The main picture of this thangka depicts a Buddha statue in Tibetan Buddhism with a sword in his right hand and a rope in his left hand, wrapped in a dragon, in a strange posture, and his whole body is indigo-blue, which Li Yi does not recognize.
But he found that there was a line of Sanskrit eulogies woven above the head of this Buddha statue, and there was also a Tibetan withdrawal below, so he knew that this time he should have met a real treasure.
Two square meters of well-preserved Song Dynasty silk products, its value is at least hundreds of millions, and there is a sense of money, and at the same time it is also a Tibetan thangka, this kind of thing, if it is made by a celebrity recorded in the history books, its value is likely to be doubled!
Standing in front of the thangka and looking at it carefully, Li Yi activated the spirit identification card, and immediately, an extremely cold air rushed in, and in an instant he felt that his perspective distance had increased by at least two or three centimeters, approaching the 50 centimeter mark!
As soon as he experienced the perspective distance, he turned his gaze to the identification conclusion of the spirit card, and then, his eyebrows jumped imperceptibly, this is actually the product of the most outstanding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, Song Xiaozong, and it has a history of nearly 850 years!
The meaning of the Tibetan withdrawal indicates that it was a gift from a lama named Gangcun Zha to his teacher, the Sakya Dachen of that generation, Drakpa Gyaltsen!
Although Li Yi didn't know who Drakpa Gyaltsen was, and he didn't know what His Holiness Sakya Dachen was in Tibetan Buddhism, since he had the word Dharma King, he was definitely an amazing figure!
This is definitely a treasure of Tibetan Buddhism!
"Mr. Li Yi, are you very interested in this thangka? But I'm sorry, but this thangka is not in the scope of this transaction, because it is so precious. ”
Bob saw that Li Yi was attracted by this thangka as soon as he entered the study, so he walked up to him and began to introduce him.
"According to the withdrawal record, it was a gift from Gangcun Tyck to his teacher Dzhaba Gyaltsen, the third of the five Sakya patriarchs of the Sakya sect, which is very important in Tibetan Buddhism, and he succeeded to the throne of Sakya Dachen in 1182 AD, and it is said that when he died in 1216, he left only a cushion and a set of robes, and nothing else remained, so this thangka is absolutely precious!"
After listening to Bob's introduction, Li Yi took a breath lightly, and there was a slight surprise on his face.
If Bob had introduced other schools of Tibetan Buddhism, he might not have been so surprised, because he probably didn't understand.
But the Sakya is different. It's just that this one is different, not that the Sakya school is necessarily more famous and better than other schools, but because he happens to know, and he happens to know, who the fifth ancestor of the five ancestors of this school is!
The national teacher Ba Si Pa is one of the three Mongolian masters in Huang Yi Huang's martial arts masterpiece "Broken Void", and it is said that the original form is the fifth ancestor of the five ancestors of the Sakya, Ba Sipa!
With this origin, Li Yi suddenly felt that the distance between him and this thangka had been pulled in a lot, so he frowned and asked:
"This one, can't it really be replaced?"
PS: Sorry, excuse me, recommend the last book, and I won't push books in chapters anymore.
