"Shakyamuni's heirloom Buddha treasure?"

"Buddha tooth relic?"

"You're not kidding, are you?"

Guo Cripple, Zilong Dao Chief, and Category, the three of them spoke in unison, and their faces were full of surprise.

Shangguan looked at their reactions and smiled proudly, "How? I knew it was going to be this effect, haha, I'm scared, Buddha tooth relic, it is said that this time it is genuine. ”

The category was speechless for a moment, and the Purple Dragon Dao Elder was full of surprise, both of them didn't say a word, but they looked at each other, and there was an incomprehensible look in their eyes.

Guo Cripple stood up all of a sudden, for some reason, his head was full of sweat, he kept wiping his sweat, and said in shock: "I said big girl, you didn't tease us, right?" In this winter, it's cold and loves colds, is it true, don't fool us? ”

Shangguan straightened his face and said, "Look at what you said, as if I had fooled you before, why, a Buddha tooth relic scared you like this?" ”

Guo lame shook his head again and again: "No, no, I didn't hear the Buddha's tooth relic surprised, I mean, why don't you come early or late, just come to the exhibition at such a time, isn't this an eye medicine!" ”

Hearing that something was wrong, he hurriedly asked: "Why, why is it not good to come to the exhibition at this time, what is that Buddha tooth relic?" ”

Guo Cripple glanced at him, sighed and said, "Young man, experience and knowledge are still not enough, right?" How about it, do you want to hear about the origin and legend of that Buddha treasure, the Buddha tooth relic? ”

The category is really interested, and he has heard the story of the Buddha treasure relics before. But those things were too far away from him after all, and he never went to his heart. And this time, the Buddha treasure relics that had always been only stored in legends and appeared actually appeared in this world, and he naturally wanted to see it.

So, he rarely poured a glass of wine for Guo Cripple, knowing that Guo Cripple was deliberately looking for face, and only after pouring the wine did he say: "Okay, Guo Da is capable." You know everything, so tell me about it, just right, I love to hear stories. ”

Guo lame smiled, opened the conversation, and began to tell the legend of the Buddha bone relics to the category and everyone.

Legend has it that more than 25oo years ago, when Shakyamuni was in Nirvana. After incinerating his body, the disciples obtained from the ashes a parietal skull, two shoulder blades, four teeth, a middle finger phalanx relic, and more than 84ooo beaded relics.

The 84ooo small relics were later scattered all over the people, and there were them in every country, and the monks built towers one after another to worship, which is nothing to say.

But only this parietal skull, two shoulder blades, four teeth, and a phalanx bone are relics. It is the most precious Buddha's true body relics that contain ** power, among them, the Buddha's tooth relics and Buddha's finger relics are the most famous.

In ancient India at that time, it was a time of Buddha, and the people believed in Buddhism. The Buddha's body relics are extremely precious. At that time, in order to compete for the relics of the Buddha, various countries even had soldiers under the city. Elephant soldiers, horsemen, chariot soldiers, and infantry were all mobilized to stand by, and they all threatened to "take it with strength at the expense of their lives", and it seemed that in order to compete for the Buddha's body relics, a war was almost inevitable.

In this moment of emergency, a brahmin named Xiang intervened and offered to divide the relics evenly to avoid war. This proposal was accepted by the kings of the eight countries who came to compete for the relics, so the relics were divided into eight parts, and each country asked each country to return to the tower to worship. This event is known in Buddhist history as the "Eight Kings Divide the Relics".

In the long history that followed, the Buddha relics gradually spread to all parts of the world due to various causes.

And the Buddha treasure relics spread to China, but also from the ancient Indian Ashoka.

Emperor Ashoka, also known as King Sanssouci, was the third king of the Mauryan Empire of ancient India and the greatest king in Indian history. In the era of Emperor Ashoka, the Mauryan Empire was unprecedentedly prosperous, conquering sixteen countries and basically unifying the whole of India. In the early days of Ashoka's reign, he killed countless people, was fierce and tyrannical, and was considered a cruel and murderous tyrant, and the eight relics that had been in the past naturally belonged to Ashoka.

Later, in a war, Emperor Ashoka was shocked by the scene of ambushed corpses and rivers of blood, deeply remorseful, and the Buddha nature hidden in his heart since childhood was awakened, and finally decided to convert to Buddhism, became a devout Buddhist, and declared that he would no longer go to war, take Buddhism as the state religion, build Buddhist temples throughout the country, advocate the Dharma of benevolence and compassion, and send Buddhist missions to promote Buddhism abroad, these missions have traveled throughout South Asia, Southeast Asia, and even Central Asia, Southern Europe and North Africa, and later, it has been transmitted to China.

In this long period of Buddhism, the Mauryan Empire fell apart and disintegrated less than half a century after the death of Emperor Ashoka, and many Buddha relics are said to have been introduced to China at the height of the world's national power in the later years.

However, in the long history, the Buddha treasure relics have been lost, it is rumored that the four Buddha tooth relics, only two remained, and other Buddha treasure relics have also risen in various places to say that the shadow bone, that is, imitations, is mostly imitated by the relics of the great monks, and some are imitated by animal teeth and bones, because in the eyes of the Buddha, all living beings are equal, and animals and people are also the same.

And two of the Buddha tooth relics, only one of them has been handed down to China, after thousands of years of inheritance, is now a rare Buddha treasure in the world, many times invited to tour the exhibition, but in the domestic tour, it seems to be rare.

Guo Cripple's story is finished, the category is fascinated, he didn't expect that this Buddha tooth relic is so precious, there are only two in the world, and one of them, in a few days, will come to this city, what a serious event it will be, no wonder, Shangguan looks like a great enemy.

Knowing the importance of this matter, and the preciousness of the Buddha treasure, he solemnly said to Shangguan: "Since this Buddha treasure is so precious, I will definitely go all out to protect the safety of the Buddha treasure, but, I don't know, how do you want us to protect it, this matter, it seems that there should be a special security company to do it, right?" Other people's security work is much better than ours. ”

Shangguan snorted and said, "Those people, if you want to guard against people, it's almost the same, but it's not people who are coming, they are helpless."

Category's heart moved: "Are you saying that there will be some things that are not human and will also come here to make trouble?" ”

Shangguan glanced at him and said, "Are you strange?" Could it be that there are fewer troublemakers these days? ”

The category nodded silently and said slowly: "I understand"
