The shopkeeper opened his mouth and told me that the birdman in the stone drum he shot was called Garuda. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's the first time I've heard the word "Garuda", so I'm curious and surprised.

I feel that this word is as strange as the appearance of the Stone Drum Bird Man, and it is definitely not a Han thing.

Therefore, it appears in the ancient architectural relics of northern Lubei, which inevitably makes people feel confused.

So, I was surprised, "Garuda, does this sound like an Indian name? This can't be a San's thing, right?"

Hearing this, the shopkeeper Tong slapped his thigh again, and echoed in his voice: "I also let you say, this thing is one of the three protector gods of Indian Buddhism, such as the Buddha's maternal uncle and mount, the name of the Han land is 'Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle', Thailand calls this thing Garuda Bodhisattva, Sri Lanka calls it Bald-tailed Quail, and Myanmar ......"

"Where's so much nonsense, to the point!" I said impatiently.

"Journey to the West!" The shopkeeper Tong said this time: "In Journey to the West, the one who eats people!

After listening to Shopkeeper Tong's explanation, I suddenly opened my mouth.

As a person, my knowledge of antiques is almost zero, but I still have a knowledge of Journey to the West, especially the TV series version of Journey to the West...... No less than a hundred times.

In Journey to the West, the golden-winged Dapeng is a very awesome existence, and in my impression, in addition to the bull-nosed old road of Wuzhuang Guan and the Buddha, the only guy who has pressed Sun Wukong around. Until he was surrendered in the end, he was still the existence that he could only get out of the horse himself.

When I was a child, I didn't understand why a goblin would be so good, and then I grew up and went to school, and after seeing the original book of Journey to the West in the library, I realized that this golden-winged Dapeng "has big roots and deep roots", and his generation is bigger than the Buddha, and he has the ability to fan wings for 54,000 miles.

For this reason, I asked the shopkeeper Tong: "Shopkeeper Tong, you are really interesting, just tell me that the Golden-winged Dapeng is over, and the whole India is famous, and there is no such showmanship for more knowledge!"

Hearing me compliment him on his high knowledge, the shopkeeper Tong was naturally very happy, and it seems that this antique dealer likes to "sell" their professional knowledge between customers and his peers.

If you can get it right, this shopkeeper will definitely confide more truth about me in order to show off.

And things are indeed developing in the direction I expected.

Listening to my question, the shopkeeper Tong pointed at me with his teacup and said, "Boss Huo, I don't understand! The reason why I call it Garuda instead of Golden Wings is because the artistic characteristics of the statues are different, the carving methods are different, and the connotations expressed are also different. ”

Shopkeeper Tong's words were one step closer, so I quickly widened my eyes, wanting to hear what the difference between this Garuda and the Golden-winged Dapeng was.

As he spoke, the shopkeeper pointed to my photo and said, "For example, you have this! If the mouth carving a big snake, such as a golden eagle soaring, that is the Dapeng, like the bird-headed human body in you, with wings raised on your back, that is Garuda." ”

The shopkeeper also said that the artistic image of this Garuda is particularly extensive, and it is widely used in Tibet, India and Thailand, but there are not many Han lands. Throughout China's 5,000 years, that is, during the Yuan Dynasty, when the Western Regions Esoteric Buddhism was relatively popular in the Central Plains, there were a number of buildings related to this in northern Lubei.

"Yuan Dynasty?" I thought for a while, and then asked the shopkeeper Tong: "This thing is Tantra, and it appeared in the Yuan Dynasty again, is it a little related to the 'Black-headed Esoteric Sect' you said last time?"

In this regard, the shopkeeper Tong scratched his head and said: "Yes, it is a little bit, after all, that cult is also from Tibet." But at that time, there were thousands of tantric sects, and who knows who left this thing behind......?

Halfway through the words, the shopkeeper didn't answer again, but I could see that what this guy said next should be very interesting content.

After pondering for a while, the shopkeeper Tong further said: "The meaning of this Garuda is very good, and it is especially suitable for the owner of our antique store to be a 'fortune stone'. ”

"What does it mean?" I hurriedly asked, "What does it mean?"

"I don't understand!" Shopkeeper Tong said proudly: "I'll tell you from the beginning, and you'll understand!"

...... According to the shopkeeper Tong, the golden-winged Dapeng Garuda is the protector of Buddhism and the first sacred object to save money and treasure. It is especially blessed by antique and cash drawer dealers, and is especially valued by the industry closely related to the "storage" industry.

Why? Because according to legend, this Garuda eats dragons, and he eats a dragon king and 500 small dragons a day.

Of course, the concept of the dragon is what the Hindus call a dragon, and if you translate it directly from the Buddhist scriptures, it is not a dragon, but a snake!

Hearing this, I was a little surprised and said: "Looking for you to say this, this thing is an eagle that eats long worms, and it doesn't match the fortune and treasure!"

Shopkeeper Tong waited for his eyes and refuted me: "Why don't you match, you only know that this thing eats long worms, but you don't know what this thing pulls after eating long worms, right?!"

"Fortune and treasure...... Then it eats long worms and pulls golden, or how can it be called 'Golden Dapeng'?" I said naturally.

"Phew, don't interrupt, listen to me!"

In a fit of rage, the shopkeeper told me that this Jinpeng would not feel good after eating the long worm, and its body would be enriched with poisonous snake toxins, and the more it accumulated, the more it ate.

Eventually, it forms a strange cycle, with Garuda surviving by eating poisonous snakes, which eventually poison it to death.

Therefore, according to legend, when Garuda was about to die, the toxins all over his body would attack, and the poison attacked the heart, the pain was unbearable, and finally he turned into fire with poison, burned his body with lust, and flew up and down 7749 times, and then he was burned by the poisonous fire.

When the burning is complete, Garuda will separate the soul and body, and the spiritual part will become a heroic spirit, and go straight to the Buddha of the Great Leiyin Temple to correct the Dharma, and the body will turn into a "pure glass heart" that has been tempered for thousands of years.

It is said that this thing is a star in the sky, a spring in the earth, and an island in the sea. If the dragon and snake get it, you can become an immortal on the ground, King Kong is not bad, if you get it, you can know the past and the future, resurrect the dead, and make the living immortal.

...... Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Tong sighed: "This Garuda feeds on poisonous snakes, and finally hoards the treasure, which is exactly the effect that we antique dealers want! Who doesn't want the tattered in his hand to be sold for a good price of a glass heart? So I want him, I want to please a good fortune, I mean Boss Huo understand, right? Boss Huo?

...... The shopkeeper called me three times, and I was shocked to "wake up" from my contemplation, and after casually echoing a sentence, I started my own calculations again.

I suddenly felt that my decision to take the photo of the stone drum to the shopkeeper Tong was extremely correct, and because of this, I knew some very important things.

I suddenly felt that maybe the mouth of the temple where the plum lost his soul was the "burial ground" of Naga Rutuo. (To be continued.) )
