Chapter 0190: True Bone Relic
Relic, this thing is also something that modern science cannot explain.
Modern scientists believe that this is a bone crystal, but there is no way to determine what the material structure is, they try their best to deviate from the facts and metaphysics, but they can't give enough evidence - because the relics can't appear in the body of a normal person after cremation, and only some monks who have been cremated have this kind of gem-like crystals that must appear when they are cremated.
I have discussed this problem with Tsing Yi before, and Tsing Yi scoffed at the mentality of scientists who want to explain everything with knowledge of physics, chemistry, psychology, etc., although he is a Taoist person, but after studying the relics of Buddhism, he believes that this thing should be cultivated by Buddhist monks through the practice of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, plus their own great wishes, and precipitated in every corner of the body, so that the whole person can exude this kind of wisdom. Some Buddhist monks were cremated after their death, and the divine substances precipitated in their bodies were burned out, which condensed into what we now call Buddhist relics!
"Can you tell which monk's relics are the relics?"
Tsing Yi frowned: "The relics of the Buddha Gate are very sacred things in the Buddhist family, but now they have been thrown in the ancient tomb, and there are Tantric demon subjugation Buddha statues around, such an arrangement...... It's scary to think about! ”
"It seems to be...... Shakyamuni's! ”
I stared at the stele again, rubbed my temples that were a little painful, and said in a deep voice, "It's just that I don't know which part of the relics it is." ”
Shakyamuni's relics are actually not particularly rare, they are found in many places around the world, and I used to see a finger bone relic at the Famen Temple Museum when I followed my father to Beijing.
As for why his Buddha bone relics appear in our country, it has to start with a Buddhist propaganda activity a long time ago.
As we all know, Sakyamuni is the Buddha of Buddhism, he is a person of the same era as Confucius, probably more than 500 years BC, in his early years, he was also a prince and nobleman's son, and later had an epiphany under a Bodhi tree, which created Buddhism, so he was honored as the Buddha, and his ideological realm almost represents the highest state of Buddhism's disciples' thoughts. Maybe that's why he was too deep, so when he was cremated after his death, a total of one parietal skull, two shoulder blades, four teeth, a middle finger phalanx relic, and 84,000 bead-shaped real body relics were cremated!!
Other words...... Almost all of this man was transformed into relics, and all of them were preserved in India, the largest Buddhist country.
Later, in 300 B.C., ancient India gave birth to an emperor with great talent, and this emperor was Ashoka. In his early years, Emperor Ashoka was brutal and bloodthirsty, liked to fight, unified the whole of India, and in his later years, regretted that he had killed too much, so he escaped into Buddhism and contributed greatly to the propaganda of Buddhism. At that time, in order to let people all over the world see the demeanor of the Buddha, he separated all the relics left by Sakyamuni, and then sent people to all parts of the world to preach Buddhism.
In fact, how many relics of Shakyamuni were given out at that time, and where was the destination of each relic, even in the official history of India, there is no actual record, only that there were a thousand monks who left India with these relics, but the actual ones were sent to various countries, among which China has the most, but definitely not more than 30, and the number of relics condensed when Shakyamuni passed away is far from the number, at least 95% of the Buddha's relics were lost, and the reason for the loss is not good. It may be that it was artificially detained, or it may be that those monks had an accident in the middle, so the relics they carried with them were covered with dust, which could not be determined or traced, and the time span was too large.
Therefore, I think this small pagoda may really be the real body relics of Sakyamuni, it is very likely that it is part of those lost relics, and it was also handed down at that time, after all, the Western Regions were still relatively prosperous back then, and there were many countries with good national strength, which must also be within the scope of preaching Buddhism, but although the Buddha bone relics were sent, they became the burial objects in other people's tombs, and I have to say that this is also the sorrow of the Buddha.
"It doesn't matter if he's or not, open it up and take a look first!"
Zhang Jinya shouted at the throat of the male duck: "I really don't know what kind of bird place this is, the Buddha statues are so eerie and terrifying, it's really a bit cold to stay in this ghost place!" ”
Ignoring him, I discussed it with a few other people and decided to open this small tower to see what was going on!
It's me who does it.
This small tower is made of wood, look at the strange texture should be pineapple wood, but in the ancient tomb for so many years, now it has been weathered very badly, if the force is too strong, it is easy to directly destroy the entire small tower, this thing is also a cultural relic, and it is a sin to break it.
There is such a problem in our line of work, but all the objects of some years are regarded as treasures, and whether they are their own or not, they are handled with care, and if they are copper and iron and other things, in order not to destroy the delicious rust color, so we must try our best to prevent the sweat on our bodies from getting on it, and we must wear gloves when looking at it. But at the moment I didn't have a place to find white gloves, so I had to go bare-handed, and with a "click" I gently unscrewed the chain under the small tower, and then carefully opened the small tower door.
This tower door is only more than 30 centimeters high, 60 centimeters, the workmanship is very exquisite, has used our current coupling technology, open it to see, there is a rosewood box stuffed inside.
This box is also very weathered, the outside engraved Shakyamuni Bodhi tree under the enlightenment map has been very blurred, some details of the processing of the place has been unclear, a fingernail button can buckle a large piece of bad wood, but in order to ensure respect for the Buddha, I did not dare to smash the box engraved with the Buddha's enlightenment map, with my hand to unscrew the corroded very brittle copper lock, open to see, there is a layer of bronze box inside!
Inside the bronze chest is an iron chest......
Inside the iron chest is a silver chest......
……
It's like a coffin, layer by layer, full of eight layers, and finally I finally took out a palm-sized crystal coffin from inside, and there was a necklace in it, all of which were five-colored real body relics, I was dumbfounded when I saw it, and counted it, and there were sixty-four Buddha's real body relics, which were processed into necklaces.
For a while, I was short of breath, although the Buddha relics of Shakyamuni are not a rare thing in the world, but the necklace made of sixty-four real body relics is absolutely unique, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth even the city!
Not only was I stunned, but several people around me were the same, especially Zhang Jinya, whose eyes began to glow red, and he almost pounced on him and grabbed it!!
"Xiaotian, put it away immediately!!"
Mulan's voice sounded in my heart at this time: "No matter what, you have to get this necklace, it really helps you too much!! Your Ge family cultivates murderous qi, what you are most afraid of is that the murderous qi will eventually get out of control, your grandfather was like this at the beginning, the nine-stage murderous qi was out of control, if he had this Buddha bone relic necklace to help him calm his mind and clear his qi, he might go one step further, to a point that ordinary people can't imagine at all, maybe he can really change his life against the sky, you have now got this thing is your life, this is the heaven wants to prosper you, you can't help but take it!! ”
I was stunned when I heard this, this Buddha's true body relic can actually help me suppress the negative impact of the murderous aura on me and prevent the murderous aura from getting out of control?
That...... But for me, it's really priceless!
It's just that I'm still a little hesitant, this thing was discovered by us together, and I swallowed it alone, right?
Hua Mulan and I have the same mind, and I immediately knew what I was thinking, and said coldly: "If you don't take it, it's against the sky!" When will you be strong when you will be strong? However, you have to ask for this Buddha bone relic even if you don't want it, if you don't want to grab it, your sister will help you grab it! ”
I subconsciously looked up at Lin Qing, it didn't matter, my heart suddenly sank, because I also noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the moment.
