An Xin took the jewelry box, opened it curiously, and saw that there was a string of Buddha beads made of 18 small leaf Venus red sandalwood strings quietly placed inside, and the eighteen beads were carved into the shape of eighteen Arhats with the technique of relief carving, all of which were lifelike.

The beads themselves are quaint purple-red, and are also wrapped in a thick layer of "oil shell", all of which are uniform in size, almost invisible brown eyes, with obvious curved cow hair lines, and a lot of filamentous bright and crystalline light yellow substance arrangement, looming, shining faintly fluorescent like a starry sky.

An Xin held it in her hand, and couldn't help but feel a sense of closeness in her heart, creating an illusion that it should belong to herself, and even the discomfort caused by the excessive flow of energy and heat at the beginning was reduced a lot.

Old Man Song saw that she couldn't put it down in his hand and proudly introduced: "Girl, have vision, this is when I entered the incense in the White Horse Temple in Luoyang twenty years ago, a master abbot there gave me, this string of Buddhist beads has been worshiped in front of the Buddha for decades, and it is deeply spiritual." I've been keeping it for twenty years, and if you like it, I'm going to pass it on to you. ”

Luoyang White Horse Temple was founded in the Eastern Han Dynasty Yongping 11 years, is the first temple built by the government after Buddhism was introduced into our country, so it has always been respected as the "ancestral garden" and "Shiyuan" of Chinese Buddhism, and has the name of "China's first ancient temple".

Legend has it that Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Eastern Han Dynasty dreamed of a golden man hovering over the palace, so he sent people to the Western Regions to seek Buddhism, and met the high monks of Tianzhu (now India) in the Dayue clan (present-day Afghanistan). In the tenth year of Yongping, the Han Dynasty made the Buddhist monks return to Luoyang with the Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues on white horses, and built the temple in the following year. In order to commemorate the labor of the White Horse Sutra, it is called the White Horse Temple.

And the Supreme Heart Sutra practiced by An Xin is from the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of the White Horse Temple, which can be said to be the same as this string of Buddhist beads, so she will have that inexplicable sense of love and closeness when she sees this string of Buddhist beads at first sight.

Hearing the old man say this, she immediately took it in her hand unceremoniously, and she immediately felt the internal force in her body surging immediately, like a naughty child feeling the arrival of her companions, and spontaneously surrounded and protected this string of Buddhist beads. The small leaf Venus Rosewood Buddha bead bracelet, which was originally quite weighty, shone brightly on her snow-white wrist, but it made her feel nothing unusual, as if there was nothing.

She happily thanked the old man, but the old man began to please people: "Girl, you see that I even gave you this only Buddhist treasure, you have to have a conscience, and then you have that divine water to remember your Grandpa Song." ”

An Xin laughed when she heard him say this, and said, "Grandpa Song, if I'm not mistaken, what you are wearing on your hand is the real Buddhist Sect Supreme Treasure Nine-Eyed Dzi." ”

The old man reflexively covered his left wrist, then put it down again, and said, "You ghost girl, your eyes are too sharp, I really can't hide anything from you." He rolled up his sleeves, revealing the string of dzi he was wearing.

There are six dzi in total, but there is only one real nine-eyed dzi, and the rest are all strung together by the six-eyed dzi. Although the six-eyed dzi is also very rare and precious, it is still valuable, but this real nine-eyed dzi is a priceless treasure, and you have no place to find it if you have money. Between each dzi there is also a real imperial green level of jade beads, not to mention the value of these dzis, just these jade beads, the texture is delicate, the color is green, the whole body is clear, like a pool of green water, any one to take out a single buy, it is a very expensive treasure, but now it has become the foil of these dzi.

The Nine-Eyed Dzi is the highest quality of the Dzi, which can avoid all calamities, increase compassion, be authoritative and beneficial. In the merits of Dzi cultivation, the nine eyes contain the symbols and artistic conceptions of all the totems, and the final state of Buddhist practice, the incarnation of the nine-rank lotus. "Nine" also symbolizes the unpredictable, unsurpassable, and infinitely broad realm. The nine-eyed dzi is the emperor of the dzi, which means that it has a high status in the dzi, and the Tibetans attach great importance to the nine-eyed dzi. (It is said that only two of them are real, one on the statue of Shakyamuni Buddha at the Jokhang Temple, and the other is missing.) ）

The old man Song was also early 40 years ago, when the life of the people in Tibetan areas was still very difficult, he donated medicine in Tibetan areas, opened orphanages and homes for the elderly, and saved the lives of countless Tibetans, only to be secretly received by the then Jokhang Temple abbot Lama Dampa Zhuoya, and gifted him this precious nine-eyed dzi, Song Yanhui, who received the gift, also swore excitedly in front of the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni that he would definitely treat those poor Tibetans well in his lifetime.

After the old man got this nine-eyed dzi, he spent a huge amount of money to buy a few more six-eyed dzi beads, and then matched them with these superb imperial green jade beads, and then wore them on his hands. In the past forty years, he has never left his body, and except for the old man's eldest son, no third person knows the mystery hidden in the string of dzi in the old man's hand.

The old man has always been able to smooth sailing and carry forward the Song family, and the younger generation of the family has produced a lot of talents from all walks of life to attribute the credit of this nine-eyed dzi, so he has never dared to forget the oath he made in front of the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni in Dahua Temple, and has devoted his life to charity, and does not dare to have the slightest perfunctory and neglect. So in his eyes, the antique treasures in those collection rooms couldn't catch up with the preciousness of the nine-eyed dzi in his hand.

And An Xin was able to recognize it at a glance, thanks to Tuoba Qing in the previous life, at that time, Tuoba Qing had just ascended the throne as the emperor, and the government and the opposition were still very unpeaceful, and there were two sons of the emperor who thought that Tuoba Qing's ascension to the throne was not right, and his words were not good, so they united to rebel. At that time, An Xin's father, the general, was ordered to take command of the expedition. But An Xin felt that her father had been killing outside for many years, and she had created boundless killings, and she was afraid that he would not die well. So I was worried all day long, and I had nightmares at night, and it didn't take long for the whole person to be haggard. At that time, Tuoba Qing didn't know whether it was true or false, and he was worried about An Xin's increasingly emaciated days, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, the king of Tibet to celebrate the new king to the throne, sent a messenger to send a batch of valuable tribute, when the princess Wencheng married the king of the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo, brought a dowry of a Buddha statue, the Buddha statue is inlaid with all kinds of jewelry, and in the most conspicuous place above the hat of the Buddha statue, inlaid with three nine-eyed dzis. And one of the three legendary nine-eyed dzi became one of the tributes offered by the king of Zao.
