Chapter 500: Offering Treasure

Soon, the carriage arrived at Changchun Garden, and Brother Jiu and Fu Suni went directly to Concubine Yi's residence.

"Ene, my son is back."

As soon as Brother Jiu entered the door, he saluted Concubine Yi, and then sat down beside her courteously: "Enie, my son and Fu'er went to Liulichang today and picked out a gift for you." ”

After Fu Suni saluted Concubine Yi, she said with a smile: "Ye saw a novelty today, and said that it was a treasure, and said that it must be bought and given to Enie." ”

Knowing that her son was thinking of herself, Concubine Yi was very happy in her heart, because the dissatisfaction of Brother Jiu and Fusuni who had been out for a few days also disappeared.

She smiled and said, "Lao Jiu thinks it's novel, so you must take a good look at it." ”

The ninth elder brother asked He Yuzhu to present the Buddha statue, and Concubine Yi looked at it and said suspiciously: "Isn't this an ordinary statue of Sakyamuni?" What's new? ”

Brother Jiu smiled: "My son didn't think this was anything unusual at first, but then the shopkeeper showed us something, and my son decided to buy it." ”

He asked the servants to close the door of the room, took a heavy dark cloth to cover the window, and then lit two candles, which were carefully placed on either side of the Buddha statue.

It's just that Brother Jiu was shocked when he visited before, and he didn't pay attention to the specific location of the two candles, and no Buddha statue came out at this time, so he wiped his sweat anxiously.

"Fu'er, come and see, where is this candle going to be?"

He was a little worried, just now Fu'er was on the road, he opened the Buddha statue and put the poison avoidance bead in it, wouldn't it be because of this that the "mechanism" inside was destroyed?

Fusuni smiled and stepped forward, carefully moving the two candles to a particular position.

She had a good memory, and after only a few moments of adjustment, she put it in the right place.

On the wall, as the candles moved, the shadows of two Buddha statues with different images slowly appeared.

The minions in the room suddenly gasped: "Miracle! It's a miracle! ”

Concubine Yi also looked excited.

Because the emperors of the Qing Dynasty had a supportive attitude towards Buddhism, Concubine Yi would also worship the Buddha when she had time, and she also knew about some famous Buddhas.

The shadows of the two Buddha statues with different images on the wall are the ancient Buddha who represents the past and the Maitreya Buddha who represents the future, plus the Buddha statue that represents the present, which happens to be the third Buddha complete!

Concubine Yi also thought that this Buddha statue was a treasure at this time.

"Lao Jiu, where did you buy it? But what is the origin? ”

Brother Jiu said the shopkeeper's nonsense.

Concubine Yi said: "Shakyamuni Buddha passed down in the dream of Emperor Wu of Liang? This is the first time the concubine has heard this kind of statement. ”

Emperor Wu of Liang can be said to be the most devout Buddhist emperor in history, and there are many legends and historical facts about him, but there are no such legends.

So the son didn't think it was real. If Emperor Wu of Liang really believed in Buddhism because of the Buddha Shakyamuni's dream of preaching the Dharma and passing down the Buddha statue, then it is impossible for the historical books to be without the slightest record, and it is impossible for the folk to have no legends. ”

The emperor originally advertised that he was the son of heaven, and no matter which emperor he was, he would not let go of any opportunity to have anything to do with the gods and Buddhas!

It doesn't matter if you have to fake a relationship! If Emperor Wu of Liang really accepted Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings in a dream, he would definitely not be unfair to the public!

Since there is no record in the folk or historical books, it can be determined that this incident is indeed apocryphal.
