"Bird's Head Box?"

"Yes, you should have heard of the bird's head, and the common name is also 'Crane Top Red'."

I know the crane top red, of course, this is not some strange poison in martial arts novels, but the head of a rare bird called the helmeted hornbill, this part is just between the beak and the skull, a bit like the raised position on the head of the big white goose. It's just that the helmeted hornbill has a harder head and a bright red skin, so it is habitually called "crane top red" by the ancients who don't know why, and the common name is "bird head".

There is an industry saying in the entertainment industry, called "one red, two black and three white", white refers to ivory, black refers to rhinoceros horn, and this red means that the crane top is red.

These three things, generally carved by the ancients into a variety of ornaments pendant, as the rich and powerful people's play, although it is not more expensive than the superior jadeite and mutton fat jade, but because these three animals are rare, and its shape can not be carved as you like, so where there are exquisite carving works, it is also hard to find.

This red is in the first place, and of course it is the most difficult of the difficulties.

This bird used to be common in China's Yunnan region and the Indochina Peninsula region, but now due to a large number of hunting in modern times, it has become a national key wild protected animal.

Although it is said that people die for money, birds die for food, as long as there is a place where huge profits are stored, there will be people who dare to defy the law, so in today's underground entertainment market, there are many pieces and pendants carved with this bird's head, some are ancestral relics, and more are bloody fresh works. Every year, there are always people who go to prison for this, but they are just banned repeatedly.

"I know Hedinghong, but this is a big baby? You don't want to, it's not too big to look at it, and it's not very glamorous to look at it, this thing is only 10,000 dollars at most. Which of our collections is not more expensive than this thing? ”

Although I knew in my heart that the "big baby" that my father said was not because of the value of the bird's head itself, in order to prevent him from continuing to sell Guanzi, I deliberately provoked him.

"Of course, Hedinghong is not a big baby, but this thing in front of you is not an ordinary Hedinghong!" Dad said straight to the point: "First of all, don't say that the color is not good, the color is not bright because it is old, it was handed down hundreds of years ago, and it is normal for the pulp to be old and dark." You said that the circle around it is dark purple, do you know why? That was the Dali National Bird King of the year! ”

Dad then went on to tell the story of the bird's head box -- and the story he knew:

It is said that during the Southern Song Dynasty, the largest mage of the Yi nationality, the great Bimo "Biasura", won an ancient magic bell, a pair of yin and yang lottery holders and a golden magic fan in the ten-year fighting conference in Southeast Asia. He also participated in the Vajra empowerment puja in India, won the Ten Nations Dharma Fighting Competition, and as the champion, he received a relic of Shakyamuni Buddha, which is said to be a fingernail of Shakyamuni.

At that time, it was the era of war in Yunnan, and there were regional disputes between ethnic groups everywhere. The Biasura's spells and artifacts have saved many lives and put down many bloody wars.

Legend has it that he put the relics of Shakyamuni in a pagoda, and those who were about to go on an expedition would be invulnerable as long as they first went to the pagoda and turned three circles to worship.

Later, when the Biasura's people learned of this, they felt that the people's greed was too great, and if the relics were offered for worship again, not only would they not be able to stop the war, but would increase the confidence of more people.

So on the first day of the Buddhist New Year, he recited a mantra and summoned the helmeted hornbill in the mountains and forests to reprimand the mantra, saying: "Take off the battle robe and helmet, and the future generations will still enjoy wealth and wealth, if you are obsessed, you will never be exceeded." ”

With a wave of his hand, the birds flew away, and the leader of the flock stayed by his side and became the protector of the Dharma.

After that, wherever the helmeted hornbills who had heard the mantra of the Great Bima flew to, the magic of the mantra was fulfilled there.

Later, when the helmeted hornbill king died, the Biasurashi made its head into a small box in the shape of a coffin, and engraved a bird's eye and a spell on the front, which means that the spell that the birds in the forest said before is especially there, although the bird king is dead, the eye of the law will not be extinguished.

At the bottom of the box, the mantra of resurrection was engraved, which means that anyone who died unjustly because of his kindness can be exempted from the suffering of the six reincarnations by entering the box, and if there is an opportunity to return the soul after 100 days; But those who die of disgust will never be able to live forever after their souls are in the box for three days.

In his later years, in order to pass on what he had learned in his life to future generations, he built a "Tibetan scripture building" in his hometown Liangshan, and put the Buddha relics in this bird's head box and buried them in the depths of the underground of the Tibetan scripture building, and the Dharma bell, the Dharma fan, the yin and yang stick holder and a large number of scripture books were piled up on the roof of the building, except for a few close apprentices, this Tibetan scripture building was not known to outsiders.

It was not until 1958, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, began to collect folk cultural relics on a large scale, this Tibetan scripture building was discovered, it is said that the whole building is piled up by 1.5 meters long stone strips, into a watchtower shape, the door is guarded by a pair of stone lions, and there are several large wooden boxes in the building, which store a large number of ancient Yi scriptures and ritual instruments.

Later, it was the catastrophe of the ten years of culture, the Tibetan scripture building was not spared and was smashed by the Red Guards, fortunately, the local Yi people secretly took the magic weapon to the high mountain and deep cave to worship, and after several twists and turns, the golden magic fan was finally lost in the people; The bell has now been identified as a national first-class national cultural relic, and is now collected in the cultural management office of Meigu County, Sichuan; The pair of yin and yang sticks have also been added as national first-class cultural relics, and are now collected by the Central National Cultural Palace.

It's just that the bird's head box containing the Buddha relics has never appeared again since it was buried in the ground 800 years ago.

Hearing my father say this, I felt surprised and happy but also suspicious, surprised that there is such a treasure in this world, and there is such a magical story behind it; I'm glad that this treasure was actually met by me; What is doubtful is whether Dad's rumors about 800 years ago are true or false.

"Dad, you didn't give birth to these eight hundred years ago, not to mention that after such a long time, I don't know if it's true or not."

"Whether it's true or not, when you decipher all the scriptures on that box, you will naturally be able to test. As for why I know, you don't have to worry about this, and you will understand after a while. ”

Dad spoke in a very positive tone, as if these things were his own experience, and I had no intention of continuing to inquire at this time, since I would understand after a while, I would not eat him to sell this set.

"Okay, then now, I'll go and crack so many ancient Yi characters on the computer first." I replied.

"Silly you?" Dad replied: "Why can't my brain turn around, the most important thing now is to take the bird's head box from the girl's body, and then find out the girl's origin, if the box is really so effective, you can put her soul in the box first, and see if you can borrow the corpse to return the soul after a hundred days!" ”

Dad woke up the dreamer with a word.

Yes! First, you can test whether this box is the bird's head box left by the Biasura's 800 years ago, and second, maybe it can help Ayido come back to life, which is really ...... It's incredible!

My dad and I agreed to decipher the scripture together, and we would communicate with each other if there was any new development.

Hanging up the phone, I reflexively went back to the living room. The four of them were not idle, and they were chatting energetically.

Seeing me come out, Jin Facai spoke first: "The kidney function of the big official is so good that he soaked in urine for a quarter of an hour. ”

Everyone laughed, and I also smiled: "Dad said carefully, I'm afraid that I won't pay attention when I come out, so I wait for the phone to hang up and then come out, so as not to miss anything." ”

Ayido looked straight at me with two eyes, I knew that she was most anxious about this, she was so anxious to get rid of the shackles of this "spirit rune", and she was so anxious to return to her ancestors' destination as soon as possible...... But she didn't know: now she didn't have to worry about whether she could return home safely, because she might be able to get a new life.

I smiled and sat down beside her, and looked around at the other people who were also waiting for me to speak with wide eyes......

I looked back at the bird's head box around Ayido's neck, and said to everyone: "This thing, my dad and I are studying the spell that was taken down, the symbols of the ancient Yi script are not complicated, I believe it will be done in a few days." As for whether to send Ayido back, this will have to wait until it is taken off, because ...... Things have taken a turn for the better, maybe ......" I smiled and looked at Ayido: "Maybe, Ayido can stay with us for a long time." ”

"What? A month of Sundays? Jin Facai joked nonsensically: "I said that the big official, this girl is beautiful, but people now have other people's difficulties, you drag her hard and don't let her go, is it possible that you still want to have a fun time and talk about Zhai Zhiwei?" ”

"Phew!" I rolled my eyes at him: "When, it's all nonsense, my dad and I are working on a new spell, maybe we can help her come back to life!" ”

……

There was silence in the room again, the blonde mouth was as open as a ripe scallop, and the two tigers and leopards had the same expression, but they were not so surprised as frightened.

Ayido sat there with her waist straight, her hands covering her mouth, her wide eyes staring at me without blinking, a hint of moisture flashed in the corners of her eyes, and there was surprise and excitement in those eyes, but more, I could see, it was trust and gratitude for what I said.

Seeing that they didn't speak, I waved my hand and pretended to explain calmly: "There's nothing to be surprised about, Yin and Yang are easy to move, it's nothing more than a matter of life and death, it's not that you haven't watched science fiction movies, some things don't know and think it's mysterious, and what you know is an ordinary thing." ”

Jin Facai had been to my house before, so he could be relieved by what I said, and nodded again and again.

It took about a minute for the Haw Par brothers to recover. Ah Bao shook his head, took a deep breath and said: "In Thailand before, at most, I have seen our master help people exorcise ghosts and suppress evil spirits, but I have never seen a dead person turn a living person." Boss Zang, oh, Master Zang, if you really have that ability, then my brother and I will follow you in this life! ”

After listening to this, Ah Hu nodded desperately on the side.

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I just said that it is possible, but I am not sure, whether you two want to mess with me in the future." But then, I and Jin Yuanwai are going to find someone, you can spend a little more effort, if things go smoothly and are done satisfactorily, it is not too late for us to talk about the future. ”

Ah Hu slapped his chest a few times: "Don't dare to say anything else, find someone to collect debts, our brothers are familiar with the old business, you put a hundred hearts!" ”

I nodded, but I thought to myself, the person I'm looking for is not an ordinary person, and it's not a debt collector, so don't poke me out of any basket when the time comes.

"yes, I almost forgot about coming back to find someone!" Jin Facai reacted as if he was "Then what are we doing now?" Is it looking for someone, or is it ...... Or do you wait for you to save people? ”

I thought that these two things could not be delayed, so I said: "I will sort out the person's information first, and in the past few days, the fat man will work hard with Ah Hu and Ah Leopard, and go out to inquire first." Stepping on a few of the places we're going to, I'm going to ponder those verses here, what do you think? ”

Jin Facai said that he had no opinion, and Ah Hu said that they would find some more local brothers in Ruili to see if there was anything they needed to help with, and they could use it at any time.

Ah Bao said: "Okay, Boss Jin is walking around the city, our brothers are familiar with the road, so we go to some places around the city, and it is estimated that we may not be able to come back for the night at night." Or the room...... Just leave it for the girl to sleep? ”

I thought it was okay, and just as I was about to agree, I saw Ayido patting the sofa cushion on the side and said:

"Don't, don't, I'm afraid! I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to stay here! ”

"Oh mom, what can you do if Brother Bimo sleeps at night!?"

"I don't care, then I'll be here with him too!"
