Chapter 45 Eighteen Arhat Bracelets
Wang Chan explained: "There are only two values for an antique, market value and cultural value. If it is rare materials such as gold and jade, the market value of these materials alone is very high.
As for the official boasting, you should listen to it, don't take it seriously, there are many antiques that are overvalued, but there are also underestimated, such as this eighteen Arhat bracelet is an example.
If Hashimoto Ryuichi knew what kind of magical magic weapon these eighteen arhats were, even if he was killed, he might not necessarily return it to me. ”
Being able to get this magic weapon by chance seems to be indeed fate in Wang Chan.
Li Jingjing immediately said: "Ebony, in fact, is not very valuable, the real value should be rosewood." ”
Wang Chan nodded and said: "Of course, if you are talking about the market value, then ebony is a more common precious wood in the middle wood." However, it is not as good as the royal representative of the red sandalwood to come to the noble.
However, the material is one thing, and the magic weapon may not always rely on the material to judge. This bracelet is a special magic weapon for the Empress Dowager Cixi. At that time, it was enshrined on the golden manza of the Old Summer Palace, and only Cixi was invited down when she was worshipping the Buddha. ”
The Golden Manzha of the Old Summer Palace, hidden in the Palace of Fontainebleau in France, was later stolen and disappeared, and it is a very precious antique lost in the Old Summer Palace.
Li Jingjing said curiously: "Then why is this bracelet called the Eighteen Arhat Bracelet, it looks like an ordinary ebony bracelet." ”
Wang Chan laughed and said: "This is natural, not all kinds of people can see the preciousness of this bracelet, I will open your eyes after I go back." ”
Back in the villa, Wang Chan asked someone to fetch a basin of water and pulled the curtains. Then he carefully put the ebony eighteen Arhat bracelet into the water, held a flashlight in his hand and said, "Now, pay attention, a miracle is about to appear." ”
A ray of light hits the water, and when the ray is perpendicular to the water, a miracle really happens.
The eighteen Arhat bracelets in the water are the golden bodies of the eighteen Arhats, shining in mid-air. That kind of floating rhythm, accompanied by the light of the Buddha shining on all living beings in the world.
It makes people feel the urge to bow and worship. Wang Chan said at this time: "This is the eighteen Arhats are said to be a magic weapon carried by Cangyang Gyatso, and the legendary stand-in magic weapon is this magic weapon."
These eighteen arhats are the Venerable Indha, the Venerable Achta, the Venerable Vanabhas, the Venerable Kalija, the Venerable Vajala Buddhadora, the Venerable Bhadra, the Venerable Garavara and the Venerable Kanogavara.
Bagula, Rahula, Tundra Bandhaka, Binduravara, Bandhaga, Nagahi, Subindra (also known as Goboga), Amit, Hashanhama and Dharma Dhara. A total of eighteen Venerable Ones. Wang Chan looked at the flashlight, pulled open the curtains, and suddenly, the living room became brighter.
Taking out the bracelet, Li Jingjing came back from shock and said: "Stand-in magic weapon, why do you think it is Cangyang Gyatso's portable magic weapon, and since it is his portable magic weapon, why was it obtained by the Empress Dowager Cixi?" ”
Wang Chan gently stroked the bracelet of the Eighteen Arhats and explained: "Cangyang Gyatso, Kangxi was deposed in the forty-fourth year, and Kangxi was escorted back to the capital in the forty-fifth year and mysteriously disappeared in Qinghai Lake. At that time, it was not one or two people who escorted Cangyang Gyatso, it was a team of people, and the guards were naturally quite strict, but even in such a situation, he still left calmly, do you know why? ”
Li Jingjing shook her head and said she didn't know. Li Longtao took over and said: "The [Secret History of Cangyang Gyatso] written by the Mongolian Lama Ngawang Dorjee is recorded in [It will be night, the moon and stars are scarce, and a glow is reflected on the calm surface of Qinghai Lake like a piece of crystal.
The crowd was shocked and retreated. The next day, only a hand of Buddhist beads remained under the master's account, and there was no trace of it. It is said that Changyang Gyatso was seen treading water and disappearing to the west of Qinghai Lake. 】
And this bracelet was left by Cangyang Gyatso at that time, and was later brought back to the capital by the Qin Mission, and it became a magic weapon passed down from generation to generation in the Qing Dynasty. ”
Anyway, no one knows why Cangyang Gyatso was able to disappear in the heavily defended ranks, which is also a mystery for the ages. Li Jingjing took the bracelet curiously, and looked at it from various angles, left and right, up and down, but she couldn't see the so-called golden body of the eighteen Arhats.
She said curiously: "Why can't I see the Dharma of those Arhats now, is it the carved golden body Dharma Phase, or is it painted." ”
Wang Chan thought for a while and said, "According to the record, it should be carved by Buddhist monks with wonderful techniques. But how to carve, I don't know, I know that there is a kind of openwork carving technique in the Chunshui jade of the Liao Dynasty, which is similar to this, but that kind of openwork is just a fur, which is far from this.
You can't see it, it's because the carving technique is ingenious, and this bracelet has also been warmed by the monks of the past dynasties, and the traces of carving are already difficult to see.
It's not my kind of technique, and ordinary people can't see the Arhat gold body on the bracelet at all. Otherwise, do you think that Yamamoto Oka and Hashimoto Ryuichi are fools who would give me such a precious thing? ”
This is a truly priceless treasure, just by saying that the bracelet shows the golden body of the eighteen Arhats, it can prove that this is a priceless treasure.
Cangyang Gyatso's stand-in weapon, Cixi's beloved thing, this is a highlight of the extraordinaryness of this bracelet.
Wang Chan sat on the sofa and said, "Originally, I was going to find a magic weapon to suppress this evil qi and slowly purify it, but now I don't need it. Now, with this eighteen Arhat bracelet, I can easily purify the yin and evil qi of this villa. ”
Wang Chan urged the aura, pronounced the knot in his hand, and recited the nine-character mantra in his mouth [Fighter of the Soldiers. knot array forward].
The eighteen Arhat bracelets were suspended in the void, revealing golden lights, and the golden bodies of the eighteen Arhats appeared one after another.
Sanskrit sounds are everywhere, the sky is falling, faintly, as if the immeasurable Buddha kingdom has descended. Streams of black yin and evil qi gathered from every corner of the villa, and were instantly purified by the golden body of the eighteen Arhats.
Miracles, this is simply a miracle, Li Longtao is also well-informed, but he has never seen this kind of miracle reappearing.
A seed of trust fell in Li Longtao's heart.
And Li Jingjing was even more stunned by all this in front of her, unable to say a word, and watched in a daze as Wang Chan urged the magic weapon to purify the yin and evil qi in the villa.
