Chapter 268: The Rock Sheepskin Scroll
Zhuge Hanyu, who was wearing a light purple summer travel jacket and casual jeans, took a Tibetan silver box handed over by Master Sanji with a solemn face, and looked at the box carefully with both hands.
This is a hand-crafted chest by Tibetan silversmiths at least hundreds of years old, and it looks dark white, with no ornaments on the chest, as if it were made of cheap white iron sheets.
The knowledgeable Zhuge Hanyu, of course, knows that this is the real Tibetan silver products in the early days, in which the composition of the precious metal silver is much higher than today's Tibetan silver and Miao silver, because the box has a long history, which contains a higher silver content, after the oxidation of the air, the surface of the box becomes a dark white color, which does not look very conspicuous, especially in the dimly lit Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Master Sanji didn't care about Zhuge Hanyu looking at the Tibetan silver box in his hand, grabbed the two pillars of the heavy bookshelf with his arms, and pulled the bookshelves that had been pushed back to their original positions in a low sound, blocking the pit left by the box that had been taken out of the sandy soil, and did not pat the sand and dust on the palms of his hands, and his eyes and gestures signaled Zhuge Hanyu to carry the Tibetan silver box and leave the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion first.
Zhuge Hanyu showed a slightly embarrassed look on his face, nodded slightly, sighed secretly, and walked out of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion with both hands holding the not heavy Tibetan silver box, and Tashi, who was standing on the side, followed and walked out.
Uncle Kong Kang Ding, Master Mu Gangcuo and Master Sanji made eye contact for a moment, and then the three of them left the Scripture Pavilion, and the door of the Scripture Pavilion was closed in a few hoarse voices, and the light in the Pavilion became even more dim......
Guru Sanchi's living room. The sun's rays in the afternoon shined obliquely from the window frame, so the light in the room was quite bright after the window was opened, except for Song Xiaoshuang who was not here. Zhuge Hanyu, Tashi, Anna, Sima Yuru, Yang Yifan, Master Mu Jiangcuo, Old Man Kong Kang Ding, and Master Sanji are all here, and on a wooden table made of hardwood is a chest of Tibetan silver, which is more than a foot wide and about a foot thick.
Everyone stood all over the living room, but their eyes were focused on Master Sanji, who was walking towards the table to open the box, and no one spoke, after all, the box had belonged to Gurujiang Temple for hundreds of years, and it was more appropriate for Master Sanji to open it. In the Scripture Pavilion, Zhuge Hanyu has already taken care of it, so it is appropriate to deal with it in this way.
The method of making this box is not outdated in the current situation, and the half-moon notch embedded in the middle of the side of the box is the right handle. The inset plum blossom lock set, which is made of the same Tibetan silver as the box, looks a little strange when it opens.
It soon became clear to the crowd that Master Sanji had just rotated a few inlaid plum blossoms flush with the box a few times counterclockwise, followed by a low crisp sound. Indicates that the spring work inside the lock kit has been unlocked. Guru Sanji gently lifted the lid of the silver chest, and several yellowed-looking volumes of manuscript scriptures appeared in front of everyone.
The style of these scriptures is the same as that of ordinary Tibetan scriptures, they are all long and narrow scripture styles, and the first page has a text that looks like Tibetan, which is the name of the scripture written in the ancient Zhangxiong script, and the font is vigorous and simple, which should be a person's note.
The five volumes of scripture were placed next to each other in the box, and at first glance, each volume of scripture was almost nearly seven inches thick, but the material was a little special. It is not a bay leaf made of bay leaf brown as a carrier, nor is it a paper material. Rather, it is a vehicle that uses less animal skin.
The more than 50 Tibetan cadres who are cadres of the Tibetan Cultural Management Committee are naturally extremely proficient in the use of scriptures and classics throughout Tibet, and soon after Lama Sanji opened the lid of the Tibetan silver box, Tashi's expression changed.
In addition to the so-called secrets hidden in the scriptures, the five volumes of scriptures seem to be cultural relics of great research value, because it seems that the wild rock sheepskin of the Ali Plateau should be used as a carrier to record the scriptures and classics.
The five volumes of scriptures are not framed with gauze or cotton satin like other scriptures in ancient Rujiang Temple, but are made of five volumes of wild rock sheepskin nailed to small holes and tied with leather ropes, which look like the material is yellowish, and a special faint smell of fishy fragrance slowly diffuses from the five volumes of manuscript scriptures in the box after opening the box. It makes people feel the atmosphere of roughness and recklessness, but there is a different sense of historical heaviness.
There are many carriers of Tibetan religious and cultural records, such as bay leaf brown bay leaves, paper made of grass pulp and wood pulp, various animals and even human skins (this is not nonsense, there are all in Chinese and foreign museums, Tibet used to be a serf society, and the monks and the manor aristocracy did not treat serfs as human beings), but the scriptures and classics made of the skin of the rock sheep on the Ali Plateau have been preserved very few now, because there are very few Tibetan practitioners who will use the rock sheep skin to copy the scriptures. This way of recording scriptures and classics on the wild rock sheepskin of the plateau itself is not mainstream in Tibet.
Using buffalo, yak, Tibetan goat, Tibetan sheep, Himalayan snow leopard, hyena, rock python, and other skins of various materials as the carrier of copying scriptures and classics, and even human skins that make people feel frightened as the carrier of copying scriptures and classics, Tashi with rich experience is not surprised and accustomed to it, indicating that the carriers of Tibetan scriptures and classics are diverse, but for various reasons, it is common to record scriptures with these animal skins, but it can be said that the scriptures copied by the rock sheepskin of the Ali Plateau can be said to be really rare.
It's not that plateau rock sheep skins are not easy to get, but most Tibetan cultivators don't want to hit wild rock sheep at all, which has something to do with the taboos of various sects.
As soon as he found out that he was lucky enough to see five volumes of scripture texts copied in Ali Plateau Rock sheepskin during the task assigned by his superiors, Tashi's heart beat a little faster, and he wanted to go forward and pick up a volume of scripture books from the box to take a closer look, and then he remembered the light alloy suitcase used to keep the scripture books. Now it is not in his hands, but in the hand of Yang Yifanmei, who has been following Anna, and there are special gloves in the box.
Out of habitual thinking, it is a necessary measure for the protection of cultural relics. In Tashi's view, it is unruly to touch such a rare manuscript of scripture without gloves.
Tashi took two steps to the table and stopped, looking at Yang Yifan, who looked like a loli big-breasted girl in a light blue tracksuit suit, and motioned for her to return the light alloy box he was carrying, which he had brought with him when he set off from Shiquanhe Town, and used it to keep the five volumes of scripture books.
Don't look at Yang Yifan's sister paper looks like she is only in her twenties, her brain is clever, Tashi's gesture how she doesn't know. Handing the alloy suitcase he was carrying, Tashi looked at the five volumes of scriptures from the perspective of cultural relics, but she was not.
As a data analyst at the Institute of Human Sciences. Although the authority is very low due to the problem of position, there is little opportunity to enter the original archives of the institute under the constant temperature and humidity conditions of the underground alone, and look through the original archives recorded in various carriers. However, for the sake of the research project, it needs to be used as a reference analysis. She has seen a lot of photocopies of various carriers and rubbings of electronic file pictures, and she has never seen any bizarre ancient cultural carriers, and her eyesight is very good, not lower than the staff of the Tibetan Cultural Management Committee.
As soon as I saw the yellowing of the material of those volumes of scriptures, I already estimated that it should be the skin of a wild ungulate, which was used as a carrier to copy the scriptures after simple tanning to remove the fat, although it is not known what kind of ungulate skin it was made of. But that doesn't seem like much, does it?
Yang Yifan was concerned about figuring out the hidden information in the five volumes of scripture classics as soon as possible, which made a good start for completing the investigation mission of the entire plateau fulcrum.
In order to obtain these five books of scriptural texts. The whole team has been carefully arranged in this vicinity for a long time, and it is directly with the Shangqin Danba Living Buddha from Nepal and his party, thwarting the Shangqin Danba Living Buddha asking for scriptures is only an insignificant part, in order to seem to deal with the battle between Shangqin Temple and Gurujiang Temple in a "harmonious" way, Song Xiaoshuang is still meditating and recuperating in a secret room of Gurujiang Temple, and the longer he follows Anna and Song Xiaoshuang, Yang Yifan's overall view is getting stronger and stronger.
After facing each other with the Shangqin Danba Living Buddha, Song Xiaoshuang's whole person was knocked out, although he immediately turned over from the ground and stood up, it seemed that there was no, in fact, those who knew the inside story knew that Song Xiaoshuang was injured and urgently needed meditation to recuperate, and the same was true for Shangqin Danba Living Buddha.
The battle between the two sides did not cause the slightest damage to the layout of the buildings of the ancient Rujiang Temple, and naturally it was necessary to try to control the battle within a certain range, and the subtle process of the verbal expression was already much inferior, anyway, everyone believed that the living Buddha Shangqin Danba left so quickly, and it was also due to internal injuries, and the injuries were not simple.
You must know that as soon as it was confirmed that the convoy of Shangqin Danba Living Buddha and his party had left Gurujiang Temple, Yang Yifan noticed that Sister Anna's face changed sharply, because Song Xiaoshuang was standing in place and could no longer move, although he did not spurt blood or anything, but his face had become extremely dark, and he signaled with a look that only between them could understand that he was seriously injured and urgently needed to recuperate.
Master Mu Jiangcuo and the old man Kong Kang Ding stopped Anna, who had tears in her eyes, from wanting to carry Song Xiaoshuang into the secret room, saying that this would aggravate Song Xiaoshuang's injuries and worsen, and Master Mu Jiangcuo said frankly that since Song Xiaoshuang was so seriously injured, Shangqin Danba Living Buddha was also not pleased, and must have been seriously injured in the battle just now, just to take care of the face of Shangqin Temple.
Because the two sides are formed by many people in a formation, with mudras and secret spells to guide the gathering of natural energy to form a confrontation situation, the overall win or loss is there, but as the vanguard of the formation wants to have no injury at all, the possibility of the collision of invisible energy gathered by the two formations is too strong, it is not at all comparable to the energy of the grenade explosion that can be released, a lot of energy will directly act on the people in the formation, the first to bear the brunt of Song Xiaoshuang and Shangqin Danba Living Buddha two, There is no way to avoid it.
Master Mu Jiangcuo instructed Anna, Sima Yuru, and Yang Yifan to carefully get Song Xiaoshuang into a secret room, trying not to bend his body, as if carrying a thick stump, and the three of them quickly complied, and under the guidance of a young monk of Gurujiang Temple, they carefully put Song Xiaoshuang into a secret room used to practice meditation in Gurujiang Temple, and let him lie on his back on a velvet carpet spread on the sandy ground. Because of this, he did not appear in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion in the ancient Rujiang Temple with Zhuge Hanyu.
Yang Yifan's sister paper, like Anna and Sima Yuru, is not strange to Song Xiaoshuang to recuperate through meditation, the reason why Anna has tears in the corners of her eyes is because of concern, Song Xiaoshuang, who was lying on the velvet carpet, signaled with his eyes that he was okay and didn't have to worry too much, and the three women seemed heartless and left him alone, and went to Zhuge Hanyu to see what the five volumes of manuscript scriptures and classics were like.
However, as one of the witnesses of the battle between the cultivators of Gurujiang Temple, Yang Yifan Mei paper based on the woman's hunch, thinking that Shangqin Danba, the old bastard, would still bring trouble to the whole team, but in her opinion, as long as her little brother is in the team, all difficulties can be solved, Sahara Desert wizard, murderer and other nicknames are not his own flaunt, but a symbol of strength.
After Uncle Tashi of the Cultural Affairs Council took the alloy suitcase from her hand, Yang Yifan didn't want to stay in the room anymore and watch Tashi slowly inspect the five volumes of manuscript scriptures and scriptures wearing thin gloves.
In her opinion, this is actually useless, the secret is said to be hidden in the scriptures and classics sentence paragraphs and various hand-drawn patterns, which are hand-copied in ancient Xiangxiong script, non-printed version, only to return to the Cultural Management Committee of the Cultural Management Committee to carefully check it, although Uncle Tashi did this out of the normal working procedures of protecting cultural relics, but Yang Yifan Mei Paper felt that it was better to go out and breathe, maybe it was better to come back and Uncle Tashi had already completed five volumes of scripture classics.
Yang Yifan just signaled with his eyes that he would go out to breathe, and then turned around and left in Tashi's surprise, Anna glared at her angrily, and her eyes signaled that since Yang Yifan wanted to go out to breathe, it could be, but this is Gurujiang Temple, it is in the temple, don't run around or anything......
Tashi naturally found it difficult to understand Yang Yifan's true thoughts, so he quickly put the light alloy box in his hand on the table gently, next to the Tibetan silver box that had been opened, opened the alloy box and took out a pair of spare thin gloves placed in the mezzanine, and after putting them on his hands, he took out a volume of scriptures and classics from the Tibetan silver box with a solemn expression and looked at it carefully......
