Chapter 222: Statue
Chapter 222 Statue
"There are ghosts... There are ghosts..."Dazhe was the first to react, he was second only to me in sensitivity to this kind of thing, but the sensitivity of the two of us is two different concepts.
"Fatty, what are you fuss about, even you can see it, can it still be a ghost." Yun Ximing said.
"Nonsense, for so many years in this tomb, there is such a person standing, not a ghost, can he still be a living person?" Dazhe said.
"Yin Yin, what the hell do you think that thing is?" Yun Ximing ignored Dazhe, turned his head and asked me, I had already opened my yin and yang eyes, paying attention to everything in front of me, under the yin and yang technique, the black shadow in front of me couldn't see anything strange.
"It's definitely not a ghost, you have to get closer to see what it is." As I spoke, I was about to step forward, but Uncle Lu grabbed me and dragged me back to where I was.
"Girl, I'll go." Uncle Lu walked into the door of the main house after speaking, it was pitch black, Uncle Lu walked in, the cold light in his hand illuminated the entire main room, we finally saw the black shadow in front of us, it turned out to be a statue, but the statue was carved very realistically, and the size was the same as the size of a person, so I vaguely looked at it, and thought it was a person there.
"Cut, it's been a long time, it's a stone bump, I thought it was a dead person, I was scared to death." Lin Zhuang muttered behind him.
I was about to step forward, but I found that Wen Wan, who had helped us open the door before, had been kneeling on the ground, and the statue inside was so attractive that everyone's attention was attracted to it, and even Wen Qian didn't notice Wen Wan's strange behavior.
"Wen Wan, how are you...", I haven't finished my sentence yet. Wen Wan suddenly stood up and ran out, he ran all the way to the door of the main hall, after the main hall is the main hall and the high steps, he was probably a little timid, squatted down at the door of the main hall, trembling, no matter how Wen Qian greeted, he didn't want to come.
"Kui is in charge, I'm sorry, my brother is like this, timid. You don't blame him. Wen Qian said.
"It's fine. It's inevitable that you'll be nervous when you go down to the ground for the first time, so go check him out. I said, but Wen Wan's reaction made me feel very uncomfortable and hesitated. I still stepped in and joined Uncle Lu.
"What's wrong with that guy?" Dazhe asked. Although he himself always made a fuss. But he was most disgusted with such a fuss, and when he said this, he looked disdainful.
"Nothing. It's just that Wen Wan may not be very comfortable and was scared. I explained, "How, what do you see?" I asked.
"Nothing, it's all worthless things, look at this broken statue, and this incense case, and the incense burner, and then these incense, Yin Yin, haven't there been no people here? Why is there so much incense? Dazhe asked suspiciously.
Indeed, the position and order of these things in front of me are very strange, walking into the door of the main house, the first thing you see is a stone statue, the stone statue is actually placed in a large wooden basin, because Dazhe does not look carefully, and the wooden basin is also old, so the decay is serious, and you can't see what it is if you don't look carefully. There is also a lot of incense ash in the wooden basin, and after the wooden basin is rotten, the incense ash inside is scattered everywhere. Behind the stone statue is an incense burner, the incense burner is not small, and there is a lot of incense ash in it, which shows that someone really came to worship before. In the back is an incense case, it stands to reason that there should be a god on the incense case, but this incense case is empty, there is nothing.
"Sister Yin Yin, this is a fragrant case, right?" Yun Ning asked me.
"Yes, you know that too?" Few people in modern families worship incense, and there are relatively few people who know such incense cases.
"You forget, there is a small Buddha hall in our house, and my grandmother always worships the Buddha in it, and this incense case looks very similar to the one in our Buddha hall, but the one in our house is not so big." Yun Ning said.
"It's a bit like that, indeed." Naturally, I will not forget the Buddhist hall of Granny Li's house, "This style of incense case, and the same style as your family, Granny Li sincerely worships the Buddha, naturally will not be sloppy on these things, this is the old material of the golden silk nanmu Ming-style flat headline case, but the price of this incense case, is not ordinary people can consume." The one in front of us is even bigger, which shows that the heavenly royal family has its own luxury. I said.
"I think this incense burner looks quite special." Min Lan pointed to the incense burner in front of the incense case.
"During the Qing Dynasty, the famous masters and craftsmen of Jingdezhen pushed the porcelain production to the peak of history with their ingenuity. This is the Qing Qianlong bean green glazed amphora three-legged furnace that was very popular at that time. This kind of incense burner, fine porcelain, thick glaze, full of glaze inside and outside, smooth and even, such as fat like jade, the ears are naturally connected, and the bottom has: the blue glaze of the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty. It is a rare treasure. As I spoke, I tried to reach for it and take a closer look, but I found that the censer was double-layered.
"Ximing, this is a double-layer incense burner, you can come and see." I was surprised to say that this phenomenon is rare. Yun Ximing walked over and squatted on the ground to study the incense burner.
"Made of jade, the walls of the furnace are very thin." Yun Ximing took out a flashlight and hit it inside, and the light source could be seen outside. "The royal things of the Qing Dynasty are worth a lot of money now, and the design of this double-layer incense burner is really immeasurable." Yun Ximing said with emotion.
"Is this little thing worth a lot?" Dazhe's mouth couldn't close in surprise, and Sister Wang Na was also very surprised.
"Boss, boss!" I asked if I was researching the priceless incense burner, and Wen Qian suddenly ran back.
"What's wrong with you, fuss." Yun Xian asked.
"Wen Wan said, there is something wrong with this place, let us leave quickly." Wen Qian said breathlessly.
"Questions? If there's any problem, you can make it clear. Yun Xian asked anxiously.
"He said that there was a problem with the placement of things in this room, and the order was wrong." Wen Qian said.
Hearing him say this, I also began to think that the order of this statue was placed in front of it, followed by the incense burner, and then the incense case. It stands to reason that this statue should be an offering object, but at this time it is placed in a wooden basin on the ground, whether someone has moved the enshrined thing from the incense case to the ground, or there are other offerings on the incense case, and the incense case is empty at this time, so what was originally enshrined?
"Yin Yin, what is this statue looking at grinning teeth?" Dazhe's side questioned again. Yun Ximing and I walked over to take a look.
It was a statue that looked like a monk with a head in front of it, and the fawn was vividly depicted, and the monk had a kind face, but the whole statue was colorless, and I couldn't see why, it didn't seem to be carved.
"This is the sitting deer arhat, that is, the Venerable Bindu Ravara, whose image has always been that of sitting on a sacred deer, thoughtful and calm, and self-appreciative. He was a noble Brahmin and his name was the Vara Pavilion. This arhat was originally the minister of the Indian king of Uthayan and had the power of a country, but he suddenly set his heart to become a monk. King Yutoyan personally asked him to turn around as an official, but he was afraid of the king's instigation, so he fled into the mountains to practice. Later, he used various metaphors to illustrate the disgusting nature of all kinds of desires, and as a result, the king abdicated the crown prince and became a monk with him. Yun Ximing explained.
"I didn't see it, Brother Childe, you even know this." Dazhe said enviously and adoringly, Yun Ximing looked at him and shook his head.
"Alas, it's terrible to have no culture."
"But Ximing, this statue is placed here, why it doesn't even have a color on it as if it hasn't been carved yet, it looks like a half-finished product." I asked.
"I don't know about this, but this is something from the tomb, so it's not so exquisite." Yun Ximing speculated.
"It's not... It's not..."Wen Qian said tremblingly, "this statue is in a wooden basin, and it is full of incense, and I think this is something in particular." Wen Qian said.
"If you think of something, you can finish it in one breath and grind it." Ah Luo is a quick temper, and he can't bear it anymore at this time.
"Like a sacrifice! Isn't it just that the sacrifice is burned in a basin and then sprinkled with incense ashes? Wen Qian said.
"According to you, this statue is a sacrifice, so what is it used to worship? Left, but there are still god-killing things in this world, and they need to be sacrificed with statues of gods? Yun Ximing said.
"Anyway, the sacrifice of the idol is not a good thing, the master, we have to withdraw quickly, we can't provoke such a thing." Wen Qian said nervously.
"If you want to withdraw, I really don't know what I think, I brought you two who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you can do it yourself over there." Yun Xian said angrily.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qian thought about it, really got up and walked over to Wen Wan's side, and said as he walked, "Sacrificing to the gods is definitely not a good deed, the master, you are so self-conscious, Shu Wenqian can no longer be by your side." Wen Qian turned around and bowed to Yun Xian, turned around and exited the main hall with Wen Wan. I didn't expect things to develop to this point, we were all surprised, the only one who was not surprised was Li Yunxian, he said firmly.
"Wen Qian is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death, but he hasn't figured it out yet." Yun Xian sighed and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's move on." ”
"You just let him go?" I asked.
"Gone. Wen Qian begged me to let him and Wen Wan come to this tomb to find a kind of thing, as for what this thing is, he doesn't even know what it is, let them go, they also have their own way to go. "Yun Xian is free and easy.
I always feel a little apprehensive when I watch Wen Qianwen go away, but I can't care about this now, Dazhe and Uncle Lu have made new discoveries.
"Yin Yin, come here, we found a lot of funeral goods, it turns out that this house is connected to the side room, and there are many treasures in it." Dazhe shouted energetically.
"Let's go Ximing, let's go over and have a look." I say. (To be continued......)
