After I went home, I took Tan Yue and pork ribs and rushed to Yu's house non-stop.

The first feeling that the Yu family gave me was that it deserved to be a collector. Not to mention the owner's collection, the antique building alone is enough to see that the owner of the Yu family has put a lot of effort into this.

After I got the name, I met Yu Xingyang of the Yu family directly, and the other party was the same as in the photo, and you could see that he was a scholar-type character at a glance.

Yu Xingyang was very enthusiastic when he saw me: "This little brother likes walnuts? I have a pair of walnuts here, so I'll give them to you! ”

Yu Xingyang took out a pair of stars, whether it is the size, or the appearance, the texture, it is a rare superb, I took a look at it and liked it in my heart. However, I still quietly pushed back: "No merit is not worth it." I appreciate Mr. Yu's kindness, and I can't ask for things. ”

Yu Xingyang laughed and said: "It is said that the people of the rivers and lakes are righteous and heroic, why is the little brother so unhappy?" What I gave away, how can I take it back casually? ”

I looked at each other for a moment before picking up the pair of walnuts: "Thank you then." ”

"That's right! Come, tea ......."

After Yu Xingyang asked people to serve tea, I gently pushed the cup away: "Don't be busy drinking tea first." Our purpose this time, I think Mr. Yu already knows. What I want to ask is, what is the purpose of how many times Banjin Saburo has contacted Mr. Yu? ”

Yu Xingyang was not angry, and took out a string of prayer beads from his body: "For it!" ”

I just thought the reddish rosary was beautiful, and I didn't think there was anything special about it. Tan Yue's eyes narrowed slightly: "Human bone rosary? ”

Yu Xingyang gave a thumbs up: "Good eyesight!" There are not a thousand but eight hundred people in this city who like to collect, and the people who can tell at a glance that this is a human bone rosary will definitely not exceed ten. Little brother, can you guess the origin of my rosary? ”

Tan Yue was afraid that I wouldn't understand, so he talked eloquently:

The human bone rosary is a unique ritual instrument of Tantra. The bones of ordinary people are not qualified to be used as prayer beads, only the bones of lamas can be used to make prayer beads. Tantric disciples practice in a difficult natural environment all year round, and they have an extraordinary body of karma, but a complete body with great merit, plus they vowed to practice all their lives into Dharma vessels and prayer beads, and leave them to practitioners who are destined to help them become Buddhas, so the real meritorious rosary must be a lama bone.

But not all the bones of a lama can be made into rosaries, usually only two parts of the bones can be made into rosaries, one is the finger bone, and the other is the eyebrow bone, that is, the bone in the middle of the eyebrow. Tantra believes that the eyebrow chakra bone is the entrance and exit of visualization and the place where the mind is placed, and that the practitioner's life's achievements lie in this. The finger bones are usually used as law enforcement instruments, counting prayer beads, performing deeds, and making mudras, and they are also the key to practice.

Finger bone rosaries are generally easier to obtain, and with more fingers, several people can make a string of prayer beads. And the rosary of the eyebrow bone is a hundred times more difficult. Usually, the lama's skull is retrieved, the skull is lifted, and it is inlaid with gold and silver as a vessel for offering to the Bodhisattva. The next step is to remove the brow bone. This bone is unusually hard, and when removed, it has an irregular shape and requires a long time of grinding. In the lama temple, there are generally lamas who vow to ponder human bone prayer beads, they take the eyebrow wheel bone to ponder on the stone, and recite a heart mantra or Buddha number every time they grind it, and a brow wheel bone grinds into a round prayer bead, and may have to recite tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of heart mantras or Buddha numbers.

After grinding the eyebrow chakra bone of each lama, it is held in a treasure basket and preserved, and when the second lama dies, it is also ground into a rosary. Sometimes, the lama who grinds the rosary cannot grind a string of eyebrow chakra prayer beads in his life, and after he dies, another lama takes over his work and grinds his eyebrow chakra bone into a rosary and puts it in a treasure basket until the number of prayer beads required is collected to make a string of rosaries.

Tan Yue looked at Yu Xingyang and said, "Mr. Yu is not a disciple of Tantric Buddhism, and this rosary in your hand can only come from the palace." During the Kangxi and Yongzheng periods of the Qing Dynasty, Tantric Buddhism once presented human bone rosaries to the imperial court. The string of prayer beads in Mr. Yu's hand should have flowed from the palace, right? ”

Yu Xingyang laughed and said, "Little brother is really well-informed, my rosary beads are indeed from the palace. My ancestor used to be a famous antique dealer in the capital, and this rosary was purchased at a high price from the Ouchi guards. The ancestors almost went bankrupt for this string of prayer beads, and later relied on this string of prayer beads to make a comeback. ”

Tan Yue said lightly: "Mr. Yu's ancestor is Mr. Jing?" ”

Yu Xingyang slapped his thigh: "Little brother guessed right again!" ”

My brow furrowed unconsciously.

Although Mr. Jing is also a warlock, he is a side of the warlock, and he is generally in places such as pawnshops, antique streets, and black markets.

In the past, there were generally two channels for the supply of antique dealers, one was to collect things from the hands of down-and-out children, and the other was to come from thieves.

Most of the things collected from the hands of the down-and-out children will not have any problems. Although those people themselves are no longer good, their ancestors are either high-ranking officials or rich people, even if the objects are stained with bad luck, they have already been washed away by the nobility.

Nine out of ten things that came from the burglar had to be swept away. Although the sources of those things are varied, there is one thing in common, that is, there is resentment on them. Grievances do not disappear, and at least they can make people unlucky, and at worst, they can even ruin people's families.

Mr. Net is the kind of person who sweeps away the resentment on the object, and this process is called cleaning. The composition of Mr. Jing is different, and some of the courtiers in pawnshops and the shopkeepers in antique shops may be Mr. Jing. There are also people who specialize in this line of work.

Old Walnut had dealt with Mr. Jing, and he told me that there may not be no capable people among Mr. Jing, but there are too few of them, less than the genuine Panshan Eagle. Some people sweep it like, just take the object to the fire and bake it, if it is stained with yin, the fire is a way, what if there is a ghost attached to it? If you dare to set him on fire, he will be able to play with you at night.

Therefore, Mr. Jing does not necessarily have to work, but his eyesight must be first-class, and what he can't get off his own has to be pushed out quickly, and if he pushes it slowly, it is a dead end.

I'm sure Yu Xingyang is not a warlock. He wants spells but no spells, and he wants kung fu without kung fu, why should he be Mr. Jing? Just the rosary in your hand?

Tan Yue said slowly: "Mr. Yu said that your ancestor relied on the rosary to make a comeback, and he should have made Mr. Jing with a human bone rosary, right?" The human bone rosary is made of the bones of the monks, and has the power to ward off demons and exorcise evil spirits, especially when doing the Dharma of the dead, the human bone rosary has incredible power, so that the dead are exceeded, and the living are at peace. ”

Tan Yue asked with a serious expression: "Your ancestor was originally Mr. Jing, or did he start this business after he got the rosary?" ”

"After getting the rosary." Yu Xingyang said: "The business of the ancestors of the Yu family in the antique street has not been good, mainly because several opponents have joined forces to suppress the Yu family and prevent Mr. Jing from helping the Yu family's objects to clean up, causing the Yu family to lose a lot of business. ”

"You also know that although the children of the Eight Banners in the late Qing Dynasty no longer have the brilliance of their ancestors, they are all experts in cultural toys and antiques, and it is too difficult to collect things from them at a low price. This is also the reason why the ancestors of the Yu family had to spend a lot of money to get this string of human bone prayer beads from the palace. ”

Yu Xingyang's explanation was also reasonable, and I nodded before I said, "Those people who came into contact with you a few days ago were all for the human bone rosary?" ”

"No, but it's pretty much the same." Yu Xingyang said: "Those people were all introduced by friends, some of them wanted to buy rosaries at a high price, and some wanted me to help clean them." I did clean a few times before, but I was not a warlock or a tantric disciple after all, and I was worried that I would lose my mana if I used the rosary too many times, so I rarely helped people clean it, so I refused them one by one. It's just that I didn't expect them to die. ”

I looked up and said, "In that case, why don't you explain it directly to the police?" ”
